Chapter Thirty-Six: The Old Man Playing with Swords II
"cut!"
Aranza snorted softly on the tip of her nose, and his figure appeared on the eaves of a small wooden house on one side of the street. Before he could stand firmly on the eaves, he suddenly felt a looseness behind his back, and it turned out that the red bloody flower cloak behind him was dodging in Aranza's direction.
After dragging his feet and getting a little bit of sword energy, Aranza dodged and the overwhelmed cloak finally exploded softly, or became pieces of rags.
Aranza's heart suddenly trembled. He couldn't help but look solemn. Lista's sword style had surpassed his understanding of the sword. The power of this sword was not to tear, but to crush. If Lista had just
The sword fell not on his cloak, but on his neck. He was probably a bleeding corpse now.
However, Lista seemed more surprised than Aranza. He looked up at Aranza on the eaves, with a faint smile on his lips, and said: "You're not bad, little bastard. You are the number one in the sanctuary."
No one can dodge this sword."
Aranza did not feel hostility in Lista's soul point, so he slowed down his tone and kept his tone respectful, and said: "Well, although the junior's level has stopped at the peak of the advanced warrior, he is already as strong as the junior saint."
In the first battle, although I dodged your sword, I tried my best and was still extremely hasty."
"Can you fight against the juniors of the Sanctuary?"
Lista was obviously more concerned about this. His eyes flickered, as if he thought of something, and said: "Haha, that's really good. He deserves to be the son of Her Majesty the Queen!"
Aranza nodded slightly and said at the same time: "Your Excellency's sword style is admirable to the younger generation!"
"Um."
Lista also nodded. The two of them didn't look like they were dueling, but more like a teacher teaching and a student studying seriously. He looked at Aranza again and said: "This sword style comes from the previous master of the Tulip family.
The head of the family, after all, is your mother’s mother and also my teacher.”
At this time, Dolan noticed something strange. She took a step forward and pointed her dark blue scythe forward, but it was not pointed at Karu, Chenxi and others, but at Lista.
Her eyebrows were furrowed, and there was clear anger in her eyes as she said, "Old man, you'd better know where you stand!"
"I know very well."
Lista turned to look at Dolan. He opened his mouth, but seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say. So, he suddenly froze for a moment in embarrassment, and then said thoughtfully: "Hey... I know what it is?"
"Your position, sir."
Two elf maids walked behind Lista, and one of them replied: "You are the former leader of the Queen's Savior Mercenary Group. You have been loyal to the two heads of the Tulip family. You are...their sword, is
Their shield."
This answer surprised everyone. Whether it was Aranza, Dolan, or Elita holding the translucent stone behind Dolan, they all knew Lista's background to some extent, so they were extremely surprised by this answer.
In everyone's memory, the Queen's Savior Mercenary Group, when the Lane Public and the Tulip Family Principality were once coexisting, the purpose of this mercenary group's existence was to overthrow the Queen's rule of the Tulip Family, and the words of the Elf Maid obviously went against everyone's expectations.
common sense.
"If the most powerful enemy is one's own, then the situation of other enemies can be seen clearly."
Lista seemed to see their doubts and said: "The Queen's Savior Mercenary Group, haha, no one can understand the meaning of its name. More than once, I became the leader of the rebels who tried to overthrow the Queen's rule, and then sent them to
Falling into the prepared trap... Unfortunately, little bastard, your mother, Queen Ling Tulip... hid her sword and shield in the corner."
Aranza had already recovered from his surprise. He didn't know how to describe his emotions at this time. At least, he was certain that Lista was not an enemy.
He jumped down from the eaves, stood in front of Lista, gave her a junior salute, and then stood up and answered: "Mother... Although my mother's image has been blurred in my memory, I still remember her character...
...She may have an idea about the sword and shield, but she definitely doesn’t have the courage.”
"Indeed."
Lista seemed to be lost in memories. He raised his head slightly, and the focus of his eyes fell on nowhere in the air, and said: "The first time I saw your mother, she was timid and hid behind the throne to look at me.
Hahaha, that’s a throne!”
He laughed a few times, pushed his head with his hand, and said, "Well... when people get old, they remember the past clearly, but they forget everything about the present."
"Damn it!"
Dolan's sharp voice suddenly sounded. She took a step back, her eyes almost bursting with fire. She stared at Lista and said, "You old fool, you actually tricked me."
Hearing this, Lista turned around, stretched out his hand to block Aranza who wanted to say something, and said expressionlessly to Dolan: "I just want to show off to Marquis Alpha Lane. As for you... these two days
We get along well, you can go, I won't embarrass you."
"ha?!"
Dolan laughed angrily. This was the first time she had been insulted like this. However, as a strong man in the holy realm, and a strong man in the holy realm who lived well in the war era, Dolan had the ability to stay awake at all times.
Brain, she knew very well that in terms of level and actual combat power, she was a little lower than Bista, and this little bit was enough to be fatal.
"You are cruel!"
She gritted her teeth and cursed, the space bracelet on her wrist flickered slightly, and a magic teleportation scroll appeared in her hand. She did not tear open the scroll immediately, but took a few steps back and grabbed Elita's hand with one hand.
Neck, one hand was ready to tear open the magic teleportation scroll.
Aranza's eyes flashed with cold light, and he shouted without looking back: "Morning light!"
The morning light behind her naturally understood what Aranza meant. As she raised her hand, an invisible wave of magic rippled through her body. She had already locked up the space here. The spatial confinement launched by the strong man in the Sanctuary was not just a random one.
The magic teleportation scroll can resist this.
"Um?"
Dolan glanced at Aranza and said, "What does this mean?"
There were two strong men from the Sanctuary behind him, and Lista was on his side. Aranza was absolutely confident at this time. He grinned reassuringly and said, "Well, you can leave, but you have to keep Elita and Elita together."
Leigh stays."
"Is your request too much?!"
Dolan's face was full of disdain. She said: "I admit that I can't beat you, but so what. If I want to escape, you will never be able to catch me. Haha... Maybe before escaping, I can also
Choke this girl to death."
As she spoke, she pressed her knuckles slightly, and a dull cry of pain from Elita immediately sounded in the air.
Seeing this, Aranza could only grit her teeth tightly to prevent herself from saying anything that would anger Dolan. Her soul sensing ability had already told him the result. If he stopped Dolan again, Dolan would definitely do what she said.
Do.
"Let them go."
Lista was the one who spoke. He looked at Aranza from the corner of his eye and said more meaningfully: "Even if you save this girl now, she may not thank you."
"..."
At this time, Aranza could only see Elita. Her neck was pinched tightly by Dolan's hands, and the expression on her face was full of pain. He saw a tear in the corner of her eye, but it never fell.
Just like after her first unprepared cry of pain, no matter how hard Dolan's knuckles pressed, she would not cry out again.
And her hands were guarding the translucent stones in her arms from beginning to end.
At this time, Ilita no longer looked as rigorous and capable as Aranza remembered, but looked like a helpless but unwilling girl.
Aranza's eyes flashed with struggle, but in the end, he could only wave to Chen Xi to let her take back the space and confine her.
"Ha ha!"
There was a hint of pride in Dolan's laughter, and she no longer hesitated, tearing open the magic teleportation scroll and stepping into it with Elita.
"Damn it!"
Aranza punched the ground hard, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. Then, he didn't stay in the town for a long time, and took Cyril and others on horseback to return to Norland City. However, the number of people on the return journey was smaller.
There were three more people, Lista and his two elf maids.
Although there was a haze lingering in his heart, after arriving in Norland City, Aranza ordered Kim Gates to hold a small banquet to receive Lista, an old man from the previous era.
From Lista's mouth, Aranza understood the whole story. It turned out that Alpha did not have much to do with him and Dolan. Alpha made a request to the Mercenary Guild to hire two strong men from the Sanctuary, and the Mercenary Guild then
He dutifully delivered the task orders to the strong men of the Sanctuary of the major mercenary groups, including independent mercenaries like Lista.
Although the task list did not state the specific task requirements, it clearly pointed out that it was related to the son of the King of Heroes.
When Aranza heard that the specific content of the mission was to kill him, he couldn't help but raised his head and took a sip of strong wine and said: "Well, I thought his purpose was just to seize a city in Kaye State, I didn't expect it.
, he is more ruthless than I expected."
"Little bastard, haven't you heard of the principle of 'capture the thief first, capture the king'?"
Lista laughed twice, and also raised his head and drank down the strong wine in the glass. He didn't look like an old man at all. However, after putting the glass down, he suddenly froze, apparently forgetting what he wanted to say.
, then he looked at the elf maid beside him and said, "Hey, where did I just say?"
The elf maid smiled and said: "You have already mentioned the task list of Marquis Alpha Lane, sir."
"Oh, yes."
Lista nodded, then turned to look at Aranza, and continued: "I'm thinking, rather than letting other strong men from the Sanctuary take over this task, I might as well take it up myself, haha, little bastard, I'm not the number one anyway.
This is the first time I have done this for your family!"
For a moment, Aranza was filled with emotion. He actually didn't know that there was someone standing behind him, or standing behind his mother. If Lista hadn't taken the initiative to walk out, he might never have known that this old man and his mother were together.
His relationship with his mother, Tulip Ling.
Unfortunately, by the time he knew this, time had already buried the past.
The Queen's Savior Mercenary Group is a sharp sword belonging to the royal family of the Tulip Princess. On the surface, it resists the Queen's rule, but secretly it takes orders directly from the Queen. Lista, the former leader of the group, is the strong man in front of Aranza.
The old man, he had obeyed the orders of two generations of queens and eliminated countless hidden dangers for them. However, after the Year of Disaster, the Tulip Principality split. Although the current Tulip family was more powerful than before, it lost its name.
Queen's qualifications.
The Queen's Savior Mercenary Group has also lost the meaning of its existence. After Lista withdrew from this mercenary group, this mercenary group was just a high-level high-level mercenary group with the name of "Queen's Savior".
