"You two are not residents of the slums, right? Why are you here? What's the matter?" The middle-aged man stared at Boom and asked coldly.
This man was wearing a slightly worn leather armor, with a huge sword tied to his back. But the most concerning thing was that he only had one arm.
This world is very cruel, so let alone people with "deficiencies" like the other party, even people with sound hands and feet can hardly guarantee food and clothing.
Therefore, both Rikka and Boom felt that the other party's question was a bit abrupt, or very bold. Even if they were not sure of Rikka's strength, the mage robe on Boom was more than just a decoration.
"We are just hanging out, we don't have any harm, and we are planning to leave immediately." Although Boom is not afraid of the other party, he does not want to cause trouble.
As a mid-level magician, Boom is now farther and farther away from ordinary people. This is inevitable, and it is also the transformation that must be experienced before becoming a strong man.
However, in the bottom of Boom's heart, he always believed that he was a poor man, the little thief from the wooden house in Augu City. Even if Rikka is around now, even if he eats expensive food every day.
Therefore, he was moved by the slums for no reason. This feeling was not sympathy, let alone pity, but an understanding of sympathy for the same people.
"Anyway, since we've already come, it's time to make it clear." The one-armed middle-aged man took a step back slightly, and his right hand quietly rested on the hilt of the sword.
Boom didn't feel anything about this, and he still looked cold. But Rikka instantly drew out the two meteorite swords, and blocked him in front of Boom like hair.
The standard fighting qi user's starting position, and the familiar smell of fighting qi leaking out. These are the growth after killing countless mercenaries, and they are the biggest source of Rikka's confidence.
In Rikka's eyes, anyone who dares to challenge Boom is the target of her death. No matter who the opponent is, they must bear Rikka's wrath.
The beast-like pressure spread in the air, and Boom felt a palpitation in his heart, and almost collapsed to the ground. As for the one-armed man opposite, his body was already trembling slightly.
"Qi Gang Fighting Clothes!" However, the one-armed man only hesitated for a few seconds, and then roared and condensed his fighting spirit into a piece of shining armor.
This is a fighting spirit body protection technique that can only be mastered by high-level knights. It can not only resist the attacks of ordinary blades, but also reduce magic damage.
At this moment, the one-armed man's face no longer had any ferocious expression. He took a step slowly, the giant sword humming in his hand.
But maybe it's because the giant sword itself is a defective product. After countless battles, it can no longer fully demonstrate the master's strength.
Therefore, in Boom's view, the opponent's fighting energy fluctuations seemed very messy, and even extremely ugly. But just when Boom was about to use the black wood staff, Rikka beat him to it.
"Gift of liberation, Chuwu! Qin...hey? Brother, why are you trying to drag me down!" Rikka was startled by Boom, and her beast-like aura instantly weakened a lot.
"This is Highgarden, are you crazy? You actually plan to use sword skills." Boom looked at the other party dumbfounded, and then pointed at the twin swords of meteorite.
Turn around and sprint! Rikka was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and she arrived in front of the one-armed man in an instant. The giant sword was cut off at the waist, and a hole was torn in the Qigang battle suit.
Drops of blood fell in the moonlight, and Rikka walked back to Boom with a smile, without even looking at him from the beginning to the end.
For this kind of crappy guy, if Boom hadn't stopped him with words, Rikka would have killed him directly. This is a world where the strong is respected, the truth is always cold, and the only one left alive is the victorious side.
"A strong little girl, a high-level warrior? Hahaha, I didn't expect that a strong person like you would become a lackey of a noble! What a sad soul!"
The one-armed knight raised the giant sword again. Although the injury on his shoulder was very serious, he still mobilized the fighting spirit in his body.
Half of the giant sword continued to spit out light, and the one-armed man assumed a strange posture, and then rushed towards Rikka without hesitation.
When Boom saw the opponent's action, his expression changed instantly. However, he did not attack, but instead grabbed Rikka.
"Knock him out and don't kill him." Although Rikka was extremely dissatisfied with this, she still followed Boom's wishes. The right arm hidden in the leather sleeve turned tan, and the one-armed man fell into a coma at this moment. p>
A high-ranking knight, the rarest combatant in the Principality of Cisse. Boom squatted on the ground coldly, holding the black wooden staff tightly in his hand.
A moment later, Boom seemed to have made up his mind and launched the Zodiac Bomb. Since the opponent's identity was suspicious, it would be better to kill him directly, rather than leaving hidden dangers for himself and Rikka.
But just when he was about to take action, the children who had previously picked up candies gathered around him. They were seen crying and blocking in front of the one-armed man, constantly begging Boom and Rikka for forgiveness.
"Big brother, big sister, I don't want these candies anymore. Can you please spare uncle? I beg you."
"Uncle is a good man. He always buys us delicious food. Please don't kill him, okay."
"Kill us, uncle did this because of us, he is very pitiful..."
Various voices echoed in his ears, and Rikka looked at Boom at a loss, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious. But Boom frowned and looked at the one-armed man carefully.
The worn leather armor, the broken giant sword, the bleeding shoulder, and the slightly trembling palms. After calming down, Boom discovered that the other party might really be just a poor man.
But how should we explain the identity of the high-level knight? A bad guy who cares about the slums? A strong man who is ostracized? A frustrated mercenary?
"You are not allowed to hurt these children, kill me, and then leave quietly." The one-armed man who woke up at some point struggled to get up, completely ignoring his injuries.
He tried hard to protect the children behind him and drive away the little guys. But none of the little guys left, and even many poor people gathered around.
"Unflinching faith, backed by the obsession of hope, firmly believe that the future is a better tomorrow."
"But...when did I say that I am a good person?"
Boom said slowly. Since he had decided to kill the other party, he would not consider anything else. What's more, in his current state, the other party would not let it go.
"I didn't expect that I could hear the knight's oath before I died. You are definitely not a devil, let alone a noble man."
"Since you are out for a stroll today, are you interested in going to another place? Your Excellency the Magician."
The one-armed man was helped to his feet and looked at Boom with a smile. Because he was now certain that although the little girl was powerful, the decision-maker between the two was this inconspicuous young man.<
/p>
Boom nodded, and then followed the other person deeper into the slums. As for Rikka, she was still holding the two meteorite swords at this time, with a look on her face that she would not allow strangers to enter.
