The visitor who climbed to the top of the Red Lotus Tower was a woman with black hair and green eyes, wearing oriental-style clothing.
"You are finally willing to show up, Valut. I couldn't believe it when I heard that you single-handedly defeated Jin's team and won the martial arts competition. But you left a message specifically for me to come to the Guerrilla Association.
You, who haven't appeared in front of me in six years, what have you been doing lately?" the woman asked.
"Haha, yes, we haven't seen each other for six years, right? Wuxiang, you are still the same, lukewarm towards me. Do you have any plans to avenge the old man?" Valut said to Wuxiang.
"How is it possible? It's the result of victory or defeat. Why should I destroy my father's determination?" Wu Xiang said lightly.
"..." Walut was silent for a moment. He thought about the various reactions Wuxiang would have, whether it was anger, sadness, or the joy of reunion, but he did not expect that she had already fully understood this matter.
Don't care anymore.
"I came here because I wanted to convey something to someone who suddenly disappeared six years ago, that's all." Wuxiang said.
"Do you have something to convey?" Valut asked.
"That's right... Now, let me say, Walut. Why were you unwilling to face my existence at that time?"
The so-called "at that time", there is no doubt that Wuxiang asked about the situation six years ago.
"I don't know what my father said to you, but it has nothing to do with our relationship. It has nothing to do with other people."
"Yes, this is my problem." Valut took off his sunglasses, put them in his pocket, and showed his original appearance in front of Wuxiang.
"I didn't expect that six years have passed, and your unlucky face is even more shabby than before." Wuxiang stretched out her hand to Valut, "You were obliged to tell me at that time. You disappeared without saying a word, completely
It's your own fatigue. Since you took the initiative, you have something to say to me. I can listen to your explanation now."
"I'm sorry about what happened to the old man." Valut took a step forward and held Wuxiang's hand.
The two of them activated the Dragon Divine Skill and touched their hands before they separated. Wu Xiang showed an expression of uncontrollable surprise on his face. Feeling the impeccable and powerful force coming from his not thick palm, Wu Xiang confirmed that Valut was present.
His current skill has far exceeded his current self.
"Because it was impulsive, there is no need to say such embarrassing words. I don't know how much you know about the duel between me and the old man. I will start from the beginning."
Walut has told Ling once before, and now he can explain things clearly without even organizing words.
"The old man originally planned to let a more talented disciple inherit the Tai Dou style. The person he originally liked was Junior Brother Jin, not me."
"How is this possible? You are the eldest brother among us, and you have long been regarded by everyone as the family governor (heir to the head of the family). All of us are following in your footsteps. And how could my father ignore my feelings and do this?
This kind of decision..." Wuxiang asked incomprehensively.
"Haha, I don't care about it now, but at the time, the old man's vision of people was quite accurate. After all, there are people outside the world. It was only after traveling outside these years that I realized that I was just a frog in the well when I stayed in the dojo. But in
At that time, I was young and energetic and couldn't accept his statement at all. If I can't inherit the school, but stay with you shamelessly, how can I accept that kind of thing..."
"Valut...you are so stupid. Do you think my father would really make that kind of decision?"
"Yes, maybe the old man was really testing me. But at that time, I was so passionate that I asked the old man to let me and Junior Brother Jin compete to determine who the successor would be. The old man did not accept my request. He proposed that
He came to replace Junior Brother Jin in a duel with me. Then, I didn't see that he was showing mercy to me during the fight, but took advantage of the flaw he showed when he stopped his attack to kill him... This is the truth back then. Not only that.
He killed the old man who raised me since I was a child, and the victory was not achieved by relying on his true strength. For us warriors with high self-esteem, this false victory is so unbearable."
Valut confessed the inside story he knew to Kirika without reservation.
"I see. No wonder my father asked Jin to witness the victory or defeat between you and him. But, Valut, you misunderstood."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"My father was already suffering from a strange disease and was running out of energy. Even without that competition, he would not have had a few days to live."
"...What...!?" Valut was stunned, his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.
"That's not to be merciful, but that you have really surpassed him at the time, and you don't have to feel humiliated by it. You can see your end in battle as a martial artist, instead of being entangled in the bed with illness.
Then he died of pain and weakness. His career as a martial artist came to a perfect end in this battle with his disciple. Is there anything more satisfying to him than this? Father, he was enjoying himself
He died in battle with satisfaction and joy."
"How could such a stupid thing happen...what...I was completely used. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!!!"
Walut laughed wildly, sweeping away the depression in his heart.
"Thank you, Kirika. Now I have finally solved the doubts in my mind. Back then, I had just obtained the Ukujiden a few years ago, and I was just a kid who had not even mastered it. How could I defeat the Realm of Reason?
A strong man. Now that things have happened, let’s put aside the merits and demerits of right and wrong. Now I am finally no longer confused.”
"Oh, if you hadn't been avoiding me for the past six years, I should have told you the truth. Then let me ask you another question. I heard that you announced to all the audience at a martial arts conference that you would go back and inherit the martial arts style.
Dojo. Are you serious?"
"That's right. The experience of these six years was by no means in vain. Now I have finally seen the light of reason and obtained the 'qualification' to inherit the family (head). Even though the old man is still in peak health, I
I am also confident that I can defeat him head-on. In the near future, I will return to the dojo to inherit the old man's mantle, and as Iemoto, I will reinvigorate the master style."
"I didn't expect you to have reached this level. The feeling just now was indeed not an illusion."
"Wirika, I hope you can go back to the dojo of the Republic with me. Being a receptionist in the Guerrilla Association is just a waste of time and life. Your talent is not worse than mine, but when we fought just now, I found that you and Liu
There’s not much progress compared to a year ago. I’m not even close to being a proficient person now, right? I’m still far behind that guy Jin.”
"You are such a person... In terms of martial arts, it is indeed as you said. I have been a little slack over the years. But I come and go as fast as I can. Who do you think I am?"
Valut touched his nose awkwardly and smiled.
"You want me to break away from the Guerrilla Association, but what about yourself? I heard that you have been working as a thug for the Body-Eating Snake all these years, what are your plans?" Wuxiang has already heard from Ainan that in the capital,
Things that happened.
"Well... I have no plans to leave the association for the time being. But if I had to choose between the association and you, I would definitely choose you."
"Okay, that's your business. Then at least tell the snake's information and its purpose. What is the black ball on the top of the tower just now? Why did you go to the royal capital to attack the royal city?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know the details about this. A few of us executors just acted according to the apostle's instructions. I heard from people I know in the association that they are different spaces and piles, but when I heard it, they were troublesome things.
You’ve forgotten it once you’ve heard it. And it’s not just this Red Lotus Tower. The other three Towers of Liber’s Four Wheels have similar things. As for the purpose of the association... it’s probably to make the Ring of Radiance appear.
"
Valut then pointed to the huge motionless puppet weapon beside him, "This is the Ring Guardian Fantasy that our people brought out from the Grancel underground. That Colonel Richard was almost killed. Thanks to us
A soft-hearted guy here saved his life. But unfortunately, it is not under my control."
"It's enough to get this information. But doesn't it matter if you tell me directly like this?"
"It's okay. I think you will know it soon. It's a matter of sooner or later. After all, the tasks assigned to us by the association are almost over. Even if your Guerrilla Association wants to do something, it's probably too late. I'll pass.
I will leave Liber Kingdom in a while. I will not force you to follow me, I will go back to the dojo first and wait for you."
"What if I never go back?" Wuxiang asked.
"Then I will wait until you change your mind." Walut replied.
"You are a big fool. Although Jin is simple, his experience as a guerrilla over the years has made him mature a lot. But you still seem to be as naive as you were then." Wuxiang said to him with a smile.
"Maybe. After all, I'm just a rough guy who doesn't know anything except wanting to become stronger. I can't compare with you who are smart and smart." Valut is quite calm about this aspect.
"This pure pursuit of martial arts is also what makes me fall in love with you. Okay, I promise you. I will go back this year. After all, I have been traveling long enough. But it's like you don't intend to leave.
Like the body-eating snake, I have no intention of leaving the Guerrilla Association. I will apply to the Leman headquarters for transfer to the branch of the Republic. It doesn’t matter if you understand that we are trying to keep each other in check."
When Kirika finally nodded, a smile appeared on Walut's lips.
"Haha, that's fine. I've said before that in my mind, if I have to choose between the association and you, the answer to either choice will only be you. Just act according to your wishes. Although I think it's too late for you.
We have taken a step forward. However, the association itself has plans to avoid casualties as much as possible, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
"Although what you said is unclear, at least you have no intention of stopping me, right, Valut."
"Yes, just do whatever you like. You are not the kind of woman who would be bound by her man."
"With your guarantee, I feel relieved. It seems that the person to pick you up has arrived, and it's time for me to return to the association."
The sound of the airship rolling up the air came from the sky, and the red airship of the association gradually approached the Red Lotus Tower.
Kirika is currently a member of the Guerrilla Association and plans to avoid appearing in the sight of other members of the association as much as possible.
Walut watched Wu Xiang's back go down the stairs and stared at the place where she disappeared for a long time.
It wasn't until the girl's clear voice sounded beside him that he turned around.
"Brother Valut, it's a bit unexpected that you, a fighting maniac, would show such a side." Ling appeared and said to Valut.
"No, this is the real me. The sense of liberation after years of suppression is gone, this feeling is really wonderful." Valut's face was still full of spring breeze.
"Revealing information to the members of the Guerrilla Association is not part of the plan, right? Although they are all insignificant details... well, forget it, it's just right. In this way, my arrangements can be carried out in advance.
Will you still go to the Emerald Tower with me?"
"Why not? After completing the task, it is our executors' freedom to spend whatever time we want."
Ling nodded to Varut, and the two of them jumped onto the association airship one after another.
Under Ling's command, the driver's enhanced Jaeger changed its course, turned north, and flew towards the Emerald Tower in the west of the Loriente region.
