As the elf woman swung her sword, something that looked like a magnetic storm was rising around her.
The crackling sound of lightning instantly disturbed the drones present. They fell to the ground helplessly, temporarily losing the ability to move.
"Well... you are hopeless." The elf woman glanced at the man: "There is too much internal damage, and it is too late to send him to rescue now. I'm sorry."
She announced the man's death almost emotionlessly, without emotion and inhumanely.
"I, it doesn't matter to me..." the man replied weakly: "But, at least, save my son!"
"Understood." The elf woman replied calmly and began to approach the reversed car.
Then something amazing happened. The seemingly weak elf woman actually turned the car over with one hand and rescued the people who were trapped under the car.
"It's okay. We can still save this," she said. She looked at the teenage boy who was also lying in a pool of blood and dying, but only had his right arm broken, and said.
"Son... son... I leave it to you!" The man died after finishing speaking.
"Understood." The elf woman said boldly, took off her cloak, wrapped the injured child and then picked it up.
At the same time, more security drones rushed to the scene, seemingly wanting to cause trouble for this "unlawful" woman. - Indeed, she just used some method to knock down a large number of drones to the ground.
It's obviously "breaking the law".
It is illegal to act bravely and save people's lives. It is also illegal to ask for help. What is going on in this country?
Then the elf woman swung her sword again. The big sword in her hand was swung with one hand easily, cutting into the void. The electromagnetic storm raised caused all the surrounding drones to be numbed to the ground. It was simply this automation.
The nemesis of the system.
She adjusted the position of holding the child, put the dying child on her back, and then turned to look at Bedivere: "You should feel guilty. In the face of injustice, you only seek to protect yourself, and save the lives that can be saved."
Stand idly by and watch. You should feel guilty."
Those words stung Bedivere.
Before the werewolf youth could react, the woman had already sprinted away. Before more drones appeared and surrounded her, she stepped on the wall of a high-rise building and climbed up, reaching more than ten floors in a few dozen seconds.
's roof.
Her feet are like magnets, able to cling to walls. In the past, Bediwell might have been more surprised, but now that Bediwell can use [Wolf Step], he can also cling to walls.
If you do it, you won't be surprised.
Bediwell doesn't know if the thing she uses to climb the wall is [Wolf Step]. But she can indeed use superhuman strength, and why does the sword in her hand look so familiar...
"Let's leave quickly." Sherricha took Bedivier's hand: "Don't get involved in trouble."
"But that man..."
"He's dead. He can't be saved." Sherrichard declared in a cold tone. His statement was almost the same as that of the elf woman: "Do you want to guard his body, help him clear his name, and bury him by the way?"
?"
Bedivere had no way to refute. He put down his tea cup and hurriedly followed Sherrichard to escape from the scene of the incident, just like the other people who were enjoying afternoon tea. After such a disgraceful thing happened, he couldn't continue to enjoy this kind of thing anyway.
It’s afternoon tea.
A few minutes later, in the park in the city center.
"Ha, ha, ha... it should be fine if you escape here." Sherrichard gasped.
"I'm sorry." Bedivere also gasped slightly: "I messed up the date."
"Huh? You didn't do anything wrong, we were just unlucky." The Snow Lion girl shook her head and said, "But strictly speaking, you didn't mess up the date. Thanks to you, I saw the wonderful annual drama. See
I can't help but laugh at how depraved this city and this country can be."
(Ah this...)
"Stop talking about that. You're not willing to give in, are you?" Sherrichard asked again: "After all, I was scolded by that woman, huh."
"It's not that I'm unwilling..." The werewolf youth scratched his head: "It's just that the Elf woman made me very curious. I want to see her again and ask some questions."
"When you were dating me, were you still thinking about other women?" The Snow Lion girl covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Stop teasing me." The werewolf young man puffed his mouth slightly childishly.
"Yes, I won't tease you anymore." Sherrichard took out a copy of the artifact fragment and said, "Fortunately, she hasn't gone far yet. You should be able to roughly locate her location using the [Yingqi Orb]. The remaining details,
Just use your invincible intuition to think of a solution."
"You're teasing me again." Bedivere pouted.
"Because it's fun to tease you." Sherrichard said with a cheerful smile.
The werewolf young man shook his head and took off the golden armband from his left prosthetic arm: "Let's get started."
A few minutes later, a certain hospital was on the roof of a dozens-story building.
The elf woman asked the hospital nurse to help her wash her blood-stained cloak. Before the cloak dried, she waited on the roof of the hospital and sat down to rest.
"Huh?" Then she noticed some movement, woke up, and put one hand on her big sword.
"Don't be nervous, we don't mean any harm." Bediwell walked out of the rooftop exit, followed by Sherrich Chad: "I just want to ask you a few questions, ma'am."
"Oh, the little wolf from before." The elf woman hummed. She penetrated the holographic disguise on Bedivere's face and saw Bedivere's true face.
"I will not apologize for the reprimand just now," the woman said, "because you really should feel guilty."
here we go again.
"I originally planned to rush forward to save people..." Bedivere groaned.
"But you didn't. You hesitated. Even if the lady behind you didn't stop you, you would have come up with a better reason to stop yourself, wouldn't you?" The elf woman said: "With your ability, you can deal with just a few
It shouldn’t be difficult to use a drone to escape with the injured. You didn’t do this just because you were afraid of trouble. Such hypocrisy, Xiaolang.”
Bedivere's brows twitched.
"But this matter has passed, so don't mention it." The Elf woman got up from the ground, stood the big sword in front of her, and pressed her hands on the hilt of the sword. Although she was a woman, she showed a
A majestic look.
"You came here to find out my identity, right?" She said: "I have no need to hide it, just tell you. I am Sword Saint Claire, the Sudanese ambassador to South Africa. Although it is
Ambassador, Sudan should soon sever diplomatic relations with the Republic of South Africa."
"Sudan..." Bedivere snorted. No wonder Claire, as an elf woman, can move freely in a country with extremely strong racism like South Africa, and can even carry a sword.
A mystery was solved. No wonder Bedivere thought Claire looked so familiar. Bedivere had seen the information of several famous sword masters in Europe before. Maybe he had also met Sword Master Claire accidentally.
You must have recognized her now. As one of the few female sword masters, Claire is naturally particularly eye-catching.
Immediately afterwards, Bediwell asked worriedly: "Could what you just did be the trigger that led to the severing of relations between the two countries...?"
"Ah, no. Don't worry about that." Claire said: "The severing of diplomatic relations is an existing problem between the two countries and has nothing to do with the little thing just now."
Bedivere breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite this, an ambassador like Claire actually risked antagonism with South Africa just to help a civilian. It can be said that she did not know what to do.
...Or maybe her sense of justice overwhelms all of this, and the so-called "property" is just a dispensable thing to her.
"Nice to meet you, Sword Saint Claire." Sherrichard made a brief bow at this time, neither humble nor overbearing: "I am Sherrichard Sphinx."
She deliberately did not use the old surname "Oppenheimer" but instead used the surname Sphinx. It seemed that she wanted to let the other party know that she was the president of the Sphinx Consortium and the adopted daughter of Father Sphinx.
"Sphinx...interesting." The elf woman laughed, and then her eyes fell on Bedivere.
"Bedivere. Just, Bedivere." The werewolf youth replied. His full name is actually "Beidilov of Western Siberia. Beowulf", but no one knows his past, so this full name is actually "Bedivere of Western Siberia."
The name means nothing.
"I know you, Captain Bedivere. From TV." Sword Master Claire replied: "Then, what kind of wind brought you two here?"
"Do you know Sword Saint Yak, or Sword Saint Joseph?" Bedivere went straight to the point.
"Oh, interesting question." Claire smiled lightly: "Why do you want to ask me about the whereabouts of other sword masters, Xiaolang?"
"These two sword masters, at least one of them, have been sighted in Bretonlia, South Africa. They are traitors to Great Britain and have caused huge destruction in the kingdom. We are hunting them down." Bedi
Weir said frankly: "I don't know if there is any connection between you sword masters, but if you really know the sword master Joseph and the sword master Jacques, I hope you can provide me with some clues. I
Really need to find them."
"Find and kill them?"
"Find them and arrest them. They will be responsible for their actions that destroyed the kingdom." Bedivere continued.
"I understand. You can be considered a member of the Great Britain camp." Sword Master Claire nodded.
Bedivere frowned, a little dissatisfied with the other party's statement: "Is there some kind of [Juggernaut camp], and you are all in the same group, right...?"
"No, there is no such thing, you can rest assured." Claire smiled: "A sword master is a sword master. The six sword masters in the west and the six sword masters in the east are all independent of each other and do not interfere with each other.
The mission of the Sword Master is only to maintain the balance of the world, but we each do our own things and we are by no means working together."
Hearing this, the werewolf young man breathed a sigh of relief.
But there was a subtle sense of inconsistency in her words. She said it as if the Sword Master was some kind of "chosen one."
"Your guess is right, Xiaolang." As if she knew what Bedivere was thinking, Sword Master Claire smiled calmly and said: "The reason why Sword Masters are Sword Masters is not because of their superb swordsmanship and their popularity in the world.
unanimously recognized. The reason why sword masters are sword masters is simply because they were chosen by the holy sword."
"Holy Sword...?"
She flicked the hilt of the big sword in her hand: "For example, my [soul-stealing sword - Fragarach]; or the tempest sword carried by the Sword Saint Joseph;
Another example is Gleipnir of Sword Saint Arc."
It was also the first time that Bedivere knew the names of the holy swords in the hands of the other two sword masters.
"The inheritance of the Holy Sword follows a certain fixed mechanism. The Holy Sword will choose its own master. Those who are not chosen by the Holy Sword will be no different from holding the Holy Sword even if they are holding mortal iron. Only those who are recognized as the master by the Holy Sword
, she deserves to have the title of Sword Master and be able to use the true power of the Holy Sword." She smiled and said: "So you see, even a weak woman like me can have considerable power since I became a Sword Master.
.Although I may be the weakest among the sword masters, there are eleven people stronger than me."
I don't know if she is joking or serious.
"You said that Sword Master Joseph and Sword Master Jac betrayed Great Britain. I reserve my opinion on this." Sword Master Claire said again: "I have said that Sword Master serves the Holy Sword, and his duty is to maintain the world."
Balance. Those two sword masters must also act according to the will of the holy sword and do what they think is right."
"How is it possible...! Could it be that the Holy Sword allowed them to damage the peace of Great Britain and destroy the Holy City of Camelot?" Bedivere asked unconvincingly: "How many people died because of this! The whole city was ruined because of the Sword.
Saint Joseph's betrayal was ultimately wiped out! Does the Holy Sword really allow this to happen? Is this maintaining the balance of the world?"
"I don't know. The considerations of the Holy Sword are profound and great, far beyond the reach of human intelligence. The two Sword Masters would do this, and they must have their own ideas. If what the Sword Masters did was too far away from the Holy Sword
If they do so, their power will be withdrawn and they will no longer be able to use the Holy Sword. I believe that Swordmaster Joseph and Swordmaster Jacques will not be stupid enough to take such risks.
But you are right. I am also skeptical about their attempt to destroy the Kingdom of Great Britain.
That was definitely not a just act, at least I couldn't see the slightest bit of justice in it.
Maybe, there is a very low possibility that they would rather give up the power of the Holy Sword to do this. I don’t know what their reasons are.”
"So...are you willing to provide us with clues about the two sword masters, Miss Claire?" Bedivere asked tentatively.
"I may disappoint you. I don't have many clues about Sword Saint Joseph and Sword Saint Ark." The elf woman replied, "But I may know where you should look."
"So——" Bedivere was happy for half a second.
"Don't worry yet." She added: "I can't tell the difference between right and wrong in what they did. As a fellow sword master, I don't want to cover them, but I also don't want to, um, betray them so easily. If you want
If you ask for information from me, we should follow the ancient tradition."
"Ancient tradition...?"
"Duel with me, little wolf." Sword Saint Claire raised the holy sword in her hand, [Soul-stealing Sword-Flagrak], and pointed it directly at Bedivere: "If you can defeat me in an upright manner,
, I will tell you everything."
"You must be kidding me..." This sudden and unexpected change surprised Bedivere.
