Chapter 13 Fearless of God
Rosie found Lu Yuewu in the courtyard.
She is practicing swords. The red Luan sword is like a dancing elf in her hand, bringing a gorgeous sword light. The blade blew a sharp wind, rolled the grass leaves, and roared. The sword body reflects the sunlight and shines, which is enough to confuse the enemy's sight. It made them fall into a rainbow-like fantasy in their dazziness and suffocated by the sudden sweet sword kiss.
A flower shelf that you don't like in. Rosie commented in her heart. "Hey," she shouted, "don't think I will be grateful and grateful to bring breakfast to my room."
Lu Yuewu ignored her. She focuses on sword dance. Between the wrist turning, the sword body was like a long dragon, and the dragon's voice poured straight into her ears; her footsteps were steady and moderate, drawing a perfect circle on the white stone floor. Rosie cursed in a low voice and turned away angrily. But before leaving, she expressed her inner thoughts in anger.
Lu Yue danced a sword flower and stopped recruiting. The swordsmanship I practice is different from yours. She said behind the mage, "Just like the spells you learn are different."
Rosie suddenly turned around and stared at her. How do you know?" She questioned in a low voice. Her fingers subconsciously flipped up and down, dazzlingly, as if it were the prelude to her upcoming spell.
"Everyone can see it. Although I am a swordsman, I also have two eyes.
Rosie tightened her body and still refused to relax. She treats her partner like an enemy. What do you want to say?"
Lu Yuewu first put away her sword and approached her, completely unaware of the alert in her eyes. I don't mind your sometimes rude comments - it does liven up the atmosphere. But..." Lu Yuewu stopped five steps away from Luo Xi. Her brown pupils were calm and deep, which showed Luo Xi bowing her waist and grinning. The premise is that you have to respect others.
"You don't need to teach me a lesson!" Rosie roared, "All those who tried to do this were played by me - including my mentor, that self-righteous stupid old man... You don't want to be the next!"
She is not bluffing. Lu Yuewu realized it. But she didn't mean to do that. I'm just reminding you." She said, "You can take it as a wind in your ear and make false noise. I am a swordsman and I believe in my swordsmanship. Just as you believe that your spell is omnipotent, I also believe that my sword is invincible. But one thing you should keep in mind: don't dictate in areas you are not good at. After saying that, she passed by the other party and walked to the house.
Rosie suddenly became silent. She didn't seem to hear Lu Yuewu's last sharp duty. There is nothing omnipotent." She whispered, "What's more, no sharp sword is invincible."
"Yes." Lu Yuewu, who passed Rosie, stopped. She turned her back to her and whispered, "The sword of my heart. I believe in her, and she will cut through the thorns and be invincible.
"But General Baisheng also had a defeated battle."
"But the sword body was not broken because of this, and the setback made the blade sharper."
Xiu Luoxi didn't say a word. Lu Yuewu turned her head and looked at her. She is like a stone sculpture, motionless. She guessed that the mage was immersed in memories. I have seen you play chess with Li Ou. Straight and rampaging. Lu Yuewu slowly said, "You can change your tactics and move forward in a roundabout way; you can also speed up the pace and suffocate people with continuous attacks... In the end, you will defeat your previously unmatched opponents. But what about being your opponent? She knows all about you. The most difficult person you have ever been to be yourself.
She has no intention of exploring other people's secrets, and such persuasion is the limit. That's all she said. Lu Yuewu walked to the house again. Sweat-soaked clothes clung to her body, and a chill rammed into her chest and back. When the sea breeze blew, she felt the unwarranted cold in the tropics. Weird weather. As she thought, she raised her foot and crossed the threshold.
"Wait." Rosie suddenly stopped her.
"What? Is there anything else?"
"What you said is very beautiful... I know... I know..." She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say that word. Apology and gratitude blocked her mouth. Amber eyes flashed with the sparks of trouble. Damn it!" She cursed in a low voice.
Lu Yuewu seemed to see through her thoughts, "I didn't pay attention to it." She said softly.
"I'm not apologizing to you." She denied it loudly, and her voice covered some subtle noises. I just want to say, don't tell Leo about today.
"What happened today?" Lu Yuewu was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"What else!" Rosie became impatient, "My spell. I am very different from other people's spells. And..."
Can't Leo see it? He knows magic better than me. But I finally understand what she is referring to. ...Your secret."
"I have no secrets!" She still tried her best to recognize it as usual.
Lu Yuewu turned a blind eye to this. I'm not a long-tongued person. She looked directly into the other party's dodged eyes, "People always have secrets that they don't want to share with others. But we won't always be like this. Now it is only because... we still can't talk about trust, which can make each other's backs rely on each other. But..."
"But what?"
Their eyes are intertwined. Lu Yuewu said clearly and seriously, "I think Li Ou has already guessed that you didn't stay here just for gorgeous and charming flawless gems."
Luo Xi opened her mouth and intended to refute, but a shrill piercing the eardrum suddenly sounded, like a dull bell hitting the heart from far and near, and each sound was more urgent and frightening.
Lu Yuewu frowned, "The alarm bell."
The alarm bell was loud, and the quiet streets in the past made a lot of noise at this time. The frightened shouting mixed with the barking of dogs and cats, turning the bells that transmit information into a messy paste, making it difficult for them to distinguish the source of the alarm. Rosie cast a directional spell as quickly as possible, which revealed the source of the sound - the port dock. It sounded from there and then spread quickly. At this time, the Silver Maple Leaf Street across the street also sounded.
"Where are you going?"
Lu Yuewu has run out of the door, and the long sword has come out of its sheath.
"Sword group spire." Leo is there." If it's Black Dawn, he will be in danger.
"It won't be good for you to go." Rosie stopped her, "If it's really black dawn, can you resist their spells and crossbows?" You are the only one. He is safer than us in the spire of the sword group.
"I'm his guard." Lu Yuewu said, "This is my duty. Rosie, "Her eyes shot directly into Rosie's amber-clear eyes." This is the difference between you and me. This is my sword. And what about you? Where is your faith?
Luo Xi was silent for a short time, and then she raised her head and caught up with Lu Yuewu in front of the door. I'll go with you." She said.
Lu Yuewu looked at her and said, "You stay at home. You are a mage, and the mage is in danger like an alchemist. They are all rats that everyone shouts to beat." You will be killed by people who have lost their minds. After saying that, she pushed open Rosie, who held the door frame, and closed the door. Just stay at home. Guarding our home is what you should do now.
The sudden alarm plunged the sword spire into a brief chaos. Everyone rushed to the courtyard, looking frightened and pale. They talked in a low voice, although Leo couldn't hear what they were saying. But Li Ou recognized the word from their neat mouth: "Black Dawn." Yes, besides them, who else will make the whole city sound the alarm, tremble and frighten them, and even fail to summon up the courage to fight? Leo stood in front of the narrow window and looked down from the spire of the Tower of Insight. The alchemists in the courtyard have disappeared in a blink of an eye and must have hidden in the obsidian spire.
"We have even lost the will to resist." Stunas suddenly sighed beside him, "Do you know why?"
"Because we have magic puppets, we have sword spires, and we enjoy knowledge as vast as the sea..."
"These are enough, or even too many." The incumbent's insight nodded and did not hesitate to praise him. You are beyond my imagination, and a pair of eyes can see the decay behind the prosperity. He motioned Leo to continue.
So Leo skipped the lengthy permutation and complained directly to the core, facing the results that most alchemists refused to believe. That's why we are extremely vulnerable. Foreign things will eventually be buried by time. Only one embroidered needle can tear down and demolish thirteen towers.
"I didn't pick the wrong person." This time, Stunas's tone was a little sincere.
But I still don't feel lucky. Leo didn't let this out. But why are you so pessimistic? He thought for a moment and asked in a different way. This topic has also been asked but has not been asked. Stunas's pessimism almost affected the whole tower of insight, which was silent at any time, as if it had become a death prison.
The clerk did not respond directly. Do you remember the oath when you joined the guild? He asked.
"Of course I remember." That sentence shocked the heart and made people unforgettable. Fearless of gods."
"Yes, fearless of gods." The official looked up at the sky almost close at hand, and the sun emitting white light seemed to be within reach. But if you reach out, you will definitely be burned by it, just like the truth. But the god has passed away. He turned his head to look at Leo, but Leo still couldn't see his eyes clearly. Compared with the illusory gods, the black morning light is more real, so..."
"...So the oath has become a bursting bubble."
"We have fallen more thoroughly than the mage." Leo actually heard a touch of bitterness from Stunas's words. At least the mage's oath is not empty.
"Magic lasts forever." Li Ou shrugged his shoulders, "At least they haven't said magic."
"Those who say so will become slaves of magic. Unfortunately, this is happening to us." Several gorgeous beams of light suddenly stabbed into the sky and defeated the clouds. The dazzling light squeezed into the narrow window and bombarded their eyes, illuminating the room brightly. In the blurred eyes of tears, the eye of insight looked straight at the pillar of light fearlessly. He straightened his back and was the only shadow in the white curtain of light. The beam of light quickly dispersed, and the five spires that could be glimpsed outside the narrow window had flowed colorful spiritual light, and the magic wandered like a mirror wall. The slaves of alchemy have been frightened. Stunas did not hide his disgust and ridicule.
Their discussion was soon interrupted by those who came to recover.
"Stay here and don't go anywhere." Stunas stubbornly ordered. So Li Ou stood in the corner and watched the person standing at the table. As soon as the bell rang, they put on black robes and ran to the thorny harbour. At this time, they all returned safely, and they had nothing but soaked sweat and dust on their faces. Leo guessed that the situation might not be bad.
"How's it going?"
An alchemist took off his black clothes and threw it on the chair. He wiped his sweat, then suppressed his breath and answered clearly, "It's not the black dawn, it's a misinformation of the guard."
"The guards are not so stupid. There is always something that drives them crazy."
"It's a ship." Another said, "A three-masted sailboat rushed into the port at full speed, crashed countless boats and sampans, and the bow seemed to have cut through a huge ship and finally rushed ashore. The guard thought it was an attack, so they sounded the alarm.
Stunas nodded, "I see." The city is windy. A little wind blows and grass is thought to be the attack of thousands of troops and horses, and a little fire will be regarded as a mountain forest fire. A ship may be full of explosives. Who does that ship belong to?
"There is no mark." One person replied. Leo found that he couldn't see what they looked like at all. They seem to wear some kind of magic props, which can blur their appearance and make people unable to recognize them. He can only tell who they are by their voices. The ship has no flag, and there is no life on it.
"There is no life?" Li Ou couldn't help answering.
They looked at each other and were silent. There was no answer, as if there was no response as a wax figure.
The clerk was calm as usual, "Answer his question." He ordered.
Li Ou felt that their eyes were strange and puzzled, but they still obeyed the order.
"There is no life, even mice and cockroaches are dead." One said, "When the guard boarded the ship, it was like being magicd to death."
"It's not magic." Another person retorted and told what he had seen and heard. It was a brutal murder. The body was covered with sword scars and blood stained with red cabins.
"Does anyone recognize who they are?"
The news of one person made Leo feel scared. They are fully armed. The man said, "But it's all about steel. They are all Leo Islanders.
"Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"We never make mistakes." The man hated Leo's questioning, but was forced to give orders. There is a mermaid statue in the cabin, as well as an ugly statue of the octopus sea god. The fishman is guarding the sea god with a long gun. This kind of faith is only worshipped by Leo Islanders.
Li Ou didn't care about the mockery in his tone.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was a horror that seemed to have been following him. Once he relaxed, the hairy chill came like a shadow, encroaching on his mind and making him unable to get rid of the terrible idea. Omen, curse; omen of death, curse of death. Such a raging smile from a shabby voice like a ghost ran back and forth in his head, which was a cloudy magic sound that he could not resist with all his strength. He leaned weakly against the wall warm by the beam of light, but he didn't feel any warmth. Only the polar cold surrounded him, making him tremble and frightened him of the impendent death.
Stunas noticed his strangeness. What did you think of?"
Li Ou struggled to raise his eyes, and the shadows of the people in the room swayed left and right in front of him. As long as there is someone. He thought tiredly. Then he closed his eyes for a while, when he opened them again. Those ghosts quickly dissipated in the sun, and the devil's whisper disappeared. His eyes gradually became clear, and his ears only echoed with the inquiry of the eyes of insight. It was just my hallucination, and he thought comfortingly that it was just an illusion. I must have spent too much effort on the intrigue. But comfort is only comfort. He knows better than anyone that the omen may not come true, but death can often accompany him.
"What's wrong with him?" Leo heard Stunas ask this.
"He has a cold." And another voice replied, "It's just a fever."
At this time, the feeling of people under his body came, and he was shocked to realize that he had sat in a chair at some point. Stunas and his men are standing in front of him. What's wrong with me?" He heard his voice become more unpleasant and harsh than the sound of a tattered conch.
"I fainted for a while." Stunas said, "The doctor said you had a cold, but I don't believe it." I don't believe it either. I just defeated Mr. Futa before. He has clear thinking and accurate words. How can he be like a cold? What do you remember? Or what have you experienced? I think you are more like being cursed.
Curse? Li Ou grinned and pulled the corners of his mouth. There is an uncomfortable astringency in the mouth, which is the smell of medicine. I will only be cursed by Rosie. Leo thought briskly. However, what I think is one thing, and the truth is another thing. His mind is gradually clear, and he can think slowly. Am I really cursed?
"It still has to be checked in detail, but it has been inseparable."
Well, if that's the case. Then what he saw before was not false. I saw the shadow of the ghost. Li Ou swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth with difficulty. On the day we returned, we met the ghost ship unexpectedly.
"That legend?" One person sneered.
"It's not a legend." Li Ou leaned his heavy skull against the edge of the back of the chair, looked at the triangular ceiling and said, "The fog permeates the sea, and the huge ship is like a deep-sea beast. The crew was addicted to fantasy, but died of drowning and suffocation, and seaweed grew out of their mouths and noses. Those scenes made Leo shudder. There is also a ghost who invaded the dream and turned into an inner nightmare.
"If..."
"There is no if!" Leo interrupted another person, "This is the truth. Every dead crew member is a Leo.
"So, it was the gods worshipped by the Leos who killed them." Stunas lowered his head and muttered.
"But the god is dead."
"That's why it's even more complicated." Stunas looked into Leo's eyes and said, "Lio, what else... strange things happened to you. Don't hide anything."
What else can there be?" Large areas of dead fish, seabirds that fell off the cliff and died. Will the curse stem from these? Leo didn't believe it at all. It's exactly the same as the omen of a crow landing.
It's too early to say it's an omen. That time of smuggling..." Stunas asked, "Where have you been?
"Pirate's nest, the black widow's nest. Her men are all Leo Islanders.
