As the warrior captain of the kingdom, Gazef's home is undoubtedly much smaller than the mansions where nobles live.
It was a mansion located outside the downtown area, more like a home for well-off citizens than a mansion.
"Is this where you live?" Gegelan looked at the mansion in front of him and unexpectedly spoke to Gazef beside him, "How should I put it? It's completely different from what I imagined."
Obviously, Gaglan thought that the place where Gazef lived should be bigger and more luxurious than this, at least not inferior to the mansion of a nobleman.
"My family only has me and an old couple who help me. There are only three people in total. It would be a waste for me to use that kind of place." Gazef said: "I am not used to living in too luxurious places, maybe because I am
I guess it’s because of my commoner background, but many nobles laughed at me because of this.”
"I think this place is very good." Climb said to Gazef seriously, "It feels like home."
"Thank you." Gazef smiled at Climb, and then said: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect everyone to come with us. If I had known better, I should have asked the servants to prepare something to entertain everyone."
"No, we're not guests, we're just here to join in the fun." Gegeland waved his hands and said, "After all, I still can't believe it. That Brian Anglaus actually lost his life."
He was so angry that he was taken in by his opponent."
"What?" Climb turned to Gegeland and asked, "Master Gegeland has seen Master Anglaus?"
"You must have seen it before." Gegelan spread his hands and said: "Don't look at me like this. I also participated in the king's imperial martial arts tournament back then, but I was thrown into disgrace by a certain warrior leader."
Gazef next to him suddenly smiled bitterly.
However, Gaglan ignored Gazef's feelings and spoke while recalling.
"I have never spoken to Brian Unglaus, but I have seen the final of the tourney and the duel between Stronov and that man."
"Brian Anglaus was already a very capable swordsman at that time. He was probably the only one who posed a real threat to Stronov in the entire imperial tourney, right?"
"Although it's not nice to say this in front of me, in the industry, we actually agree that in terms of talent alone, Brian Unglaus will surpass Stronov."
Gagra's words made everyone look at Gazef.
Gazef did not deny this, and he obviously believed that in terms of talent, he was not as good as Brian Anglaus.
Therefore, Brian Anglaus is regarded as a genius swordsman, and this is the recognized proof of his talent.
"Even after losing to Stronov, a man like that never showed any signs of discouragement or any intention of giving up. Instead, he stared at the winner with eyes full of fierce fighting spirit." Gegelan.
He said: "That's why I find it unbelievable that men at that time were actually defeated."
For this reason, Gegelan couldn't help but want to come over and see what Brian Anglaus had become.
Evileye, on the other hand, looked uninterested and just followed him silently, seemingly not interested in the current situation of Brian Anglaus at all.
The person she was more interested in seemed to be Li Ge, and she had been silently staring at Li Ge's back, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Ge also came over, perhaps because he was invited over by Gazef.
In the end, he agreed to Gazef and come with him to see the condition of Brian Anglaus.
He was very curious whether Brian Anglaus was like this after encountering the same thing as in the original novel.
So, Li Ge spoke like this.
"What exactly happened, you will know if you ask in person."
With that said, Li Ge took the lead and walked towards Gazef's home.
Everyone present immediately followed him and, led by Gazef, entered his home.
…………
Although Gazef's home is not big, it still has a courtyard specially used for him to practice swordsmanship.
The courtyard is not big, and there are no flowers, plants or trees planted. There are only a few swords placed in the corner for practice without sharp edges, which fully demonstrates its daily use.
"Look, it's right there."
Gazef led everyone into the courtyard and pointed to the corner.
There, a slovenly man was holding a knife and huddled in the corner. He looked at the practice sword equipment opposite him in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.
"...This is really serious."
Gegelan made such a statement the first time he saw that man.
"Then, is that the rumored genius swordsman who can compete with Master Stronov?"
Climb looked incredulous.
"It seems that he did encounter a monster."
Evileye seemed to wrinkle his brows under the mask without any trace, and then said these words calmly.
Everyone immediately saw the man's despair and the nature of the man who had become a lost dog. They were completely unable to compare him with the genius who had fought equally with Gazef Stronov.
The swordsman drew the equal sign.
Even Li Ge became thoughtful.
"This seems to be more serious than the situation in the original work, right?"
What exactly did he encounter?
Thinking about such things, Li Ge turned his eyes and gave Gazef a look.
Gazef understood immediately and stepped forward first, walking into the courtyard.
Not long after, Gazef came to Brian Anglaus.
"You're still here, Anglaus." Gazef looked down at Brian, who was huddled in the corner, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't ask you to have a good sleep after eating and taking a shower.
?”
Gazef's voice caused a slight reaction in the man named Brian.
"...I can't sleep."
A hoarse voice sounded from the man's mouth.
"As soon as I close my eyes, I can't help but think of everything I saw that day, as if it was all right in front of me, and it's impossible to sleep."
The man's voice was not only hoarse, but also quite weak, giving people the feeling of a dying man leaving his last words.
"...Are you really Brian Anglaus?"
Gegelan couldn't help but speak out, his voice full of doubts and doubts.
Brian turned his eyes and looked at Gegelan.
"……Who are you?"
It was clear that what he saw was a female warrior who was so strong that she could easily crush him to death, but there was not even a hint of shock on Brian's face, and his voice was still so feeble.
"I am Gegelan!" Gegelan shouted in a rage: "The warrior of the adamantite adventurer team [Blue Rose], Gegelan, remember it, Brian Anglaus!"
However, these words only received a scornful reaction from Brian.
"A steel-level adventurer?" Brian said without hesitation: "It's a shame that you can talk about something of that level in such a high-sounding way."
"What did you say?" Gegelan seemed to be insulted, and his eyes burst out with fire.
"It's nothing, I'm just giving you a piece of advice." Brian still looked weak and said, "Even the highest-level adamantium-level adventurers are only humans at best, weak and powerless humans."
"You may have put in a lot of effort for this, and have worked hard to hone your skills in order to reach this level, but unfortunately, I have to tell you, all of that is useless."
"As long as you encounter real monsters and real strong people, human beings will be ravaged no matter what."
"From now on, it's better not to be so confident in giving your name. This is for your own good."
Such words were not so much self-destruction as they were words of complete despair, which made Gegelan furious.
"You actually said such things, you bastard, can you be considered a man like this...!?"
Gegelan grabbed Brian by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and roared loudly.
Brian offered no resistance at all and looked at Gegelan with unfocused eyes.
That look made the anger in Gegelan's heart disappear.
At that moment, Gegelan let go of his hand and dropped Brian.
"Give up, this guy is hopeless."
She gave this evaluation.
"The heart is completely dead. To describe it as broken is a bit too gentle. This guy can no longer be called a swordsman or a warrior at all. He can only be regarded as a walking corpse. The best way to deal with it is to let him die.
Destroy yourself."
Gegelan scolded him mercilessly, but it didn't bring about even the slightest mood swing from Brian.
"this……"
At this moment, even Climb felt a little pitiful for Brian.
"Psychological trauma? It's a symptom that is very similar to human beings."
Evileye didn't know whether he said this with ridicule or sympathy.
These three people were all disappointed with Brian's performance, and it could even be said that they felt pity.
This shows how serious Brian's condition is.
"Your Excellency Brighaut."
Gazef could only ask Rige for help.
Li Ge had been observing Brian from the sidelines. After being called by Gazef like this, he showed a thoughtful expression.
After a while, Li Ge fixed his gaze on the knife in Brian's hand.
Just as he was holding tightly to the last life-saving straw in his heart, Brian only held the knife tightly, allowing people to clearly feel the struggle in his heart.
Li Ge's eyes flashed slightly.
"Click..."
Suddenly, he drew his knife.
"————!"
At this moment, whether it was Gazef, Brian, or even Gaegran, Evileye, Climb, and others, their expressions changed greatly.
As Li Ge drew his sword, a terrifying sense of fatal crisis burst out in everyone's heart.
The entire courtyard suddenly turned into a battlefield, full of pressure.
