Chapter 870 (2/2)
”No, you're in a hurry, Lord Meade.” with a knife around your neck, Loren couldn't shake his head. ”At the moment I retreated, I couldn't wait to rush up until the last moment, when we both started in the moonlight.”
”So I thought back... Guess what I found?”
”I found that every time you shake your hands, you stand in the moonlight;”
”It has to be doubted whether the length of the 'shadow folding sword' has something to do with the length of the shadow of the sword body - for example, at the moment when the sword body and the moonlight refract into a certain angle and drag the shadow out of three steps...”
Middleton's smile became a little unnatural.
Feeling the blade on his neck, Loren could only sigh helplessly.
It's not difficult to detect the secret of ”folding shadow sword”, but to see through each other's routine.
The reason why he kept talking to himself and talking a lot was not to interfere with his judgment, so he could take the opportunity to sneak attack; Instead, he must cover up his movements and let himself focus on his knife tip and steps.
Only in this way can he not be aware that every time he ”starts”, he stands in the moonlight and drags the shadow of the blade to the moment when he connects with himself.
If he hadn't been too eager to kill himself for the last time, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to find this flaw.
The shadow on the ground and the long knife in his hand are his weapons; Secret, invisible, deadly.
In contrast, it seems that almost every one of his moves is, uh, the one with great movement.
This is really... Who is the assassin himself and him?
”It's amazing. You can see through the 'broken shadow sword' for the first time... Although there are mistakes, you lose if you lose.” Meade, still smiling, gradually became dignified in his eyes:
”Worthy of being the Imperial Guard of the emperor's majesty, I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat.”
”Thank you very much. Can you let me go?”
”Of course not. Killing me is the best choice for you, and it's the same for me.” Meade shook his head and replied without concealment:
”What's more, the insight you just showed makes me have to doubt that the message you get from me is far more than a 'broken shadow sword'.”
After a moment of silence, the room was quiet.
”... you think too much.” Lauren smiled awkwardly and politely.
”Maybe, but it's always safe?” with a smile, Meade put a long knife on the black haired wizard's neck with a little force, and the blade as thin as a cicada's wing bit by bit, tore the flesh between his neck:
”Farewell, your excellency Edward. Let's use the summer moon at the end of midsummer... To give you a ride!”
Wave down the long knife.
”Dang --!”
At the moment of hitting, the black haired wizard suddenly stabbed his sleeve sword under the wrist of his left hand, and Kankan stopped the blade.
Midell looked surprised.
Almost at the same time, the ”bright silver” falling into the right hand once again burst out and picked horizontally from bottom to top.
When the long knife was set up, a spark stopped the way of the sword; Without any hesitation, Meade immediately slipped back three steps to avoid the sneak attack of the black haired wizard.
Just that close... Lauren sighed.
This is a chance that I almost lost my life.
At the same time, the Azores elves who had retreated for several steps had set up their long knives again.
”Sure enough... Your Excellency Edward, you are not an honest man.” Meade raised his mouth and whispered, ”you have been holding the sword with your left hand, just to make me mistakenly think that the sword must be used with the glove of your left hand.”
”You almost got it.”
”Isn't it still a little close?” Lauren smiled.
”Well, then we have no secrets to each other.” Meade also smiled. ”Let's fight life and death like real warriors and knights?”
”OK, I have no opinion.” Lauren looked at him seriously with a sincere expression.
I believe you are really out of your mind.
At the next moment, their figures disappeared from each other's sight at the same time, leaving only residual shadows.
”Ding --!”
When the sharp blades collide with each other, the sword's awn bounces the splitting of the long knife.
”Rattle --!”
The long knife set up a deflection, and with the spark of exciting play, the sword was swung aside, and Loren's empty door was wide open.
”Poof --!”
Meade suddenly turned around, holding the handle back with both hands, pointing the tip of the knife at the gap between his ribs and his elbow, and stabbed it out behind him.
The dark haired wizard who couldn't dodge took his knife with the arm armor of his right hand; The armour made of refined steel and the nitrate leather armour with lining are divided into two like butter under the blade.
The falling sword has no time to block.
Got it... A sharp flash flashed from the bottom of midell's eyes.
However, the next moment - the black haired wizard who set up the ”bright silver” and the Azores who raised their knives in reverse stopped at the same time.
The tip of the knife stopped less than two inches from Loren's throat.
The two people with opposite eyes turned their eyes to the window and the door.
”Some people, there are still a lot of people... The breath is almost invisible. Only war dancers can hide so well.” a smile appeared on the Azores ELF's face: ”it seems that you are not very lucky tonight, your excellency Edward.”
”Yes, but how can I feel that I'm really lucky?” Loren also smiled and looked meaningfully into the eyes of the Azores.
In just a second, Meade immediately understood what he meant.
The scope of the fog moon court is very large. The war dancers from the same settlement can only be gathered so quickly and uniformly - in the fog moon court, the settlement nearest to the central cloud canopy tree is
Morning star forest.
”I see... No wonder you can sneak into the fog moon court and haven't been noticed.” Meade's expression was thoughtful: ”the morning star forest and the settlements in the East... Have indeed betrayed other settlements in the ancient wood forest and taken refuge in the Empire?”
”I didn't say that, but you think so.” Lauren smiled very narrowly. ”So the question comes... Would you like to bet with me?”
”If not, I can't escape tonight;”
”If it's really the same as you think, have you ever heard of the black prison in Tianqiong palace?”
”No,” Meade shook his head.
”It's a good place. It's a single room, airtight, with dead bones, mice and a wide variety of mouth insects. You can enjoy the kind greetings and bone loosening massage services of the interrogator day and night. When you get sick, you can also provide you with various forms and parts of bloodletting therapy.”
Lauren smiled: ”of course, if you don't want to gamble, I have other ways to alleviate our embarrassment at this moment...”
