Looking forward to another world.

The royal capital, Gazef's home.

As the kingdom's warrior commander, Gazef's house was undoubtedly much smaller than the mansions where the nobles lived.

It was a mansion located outside the downtown area, not so much a mansion, but a residence of well-to-do citizens.

"Is this where you live?" Gagaran looked at the mansion in front of him, and said to Gazef who was beside him in a somewhat unexpected way, "How should I put it, it's completely different from what I imagined."

Apparently, Gagaran thought that the place where Gazef lived should be bigger and more luxurious than this, at least not inferior to the noble mansion.

"My family only has me and an old couple as a helper. There are only three people in total. It would be a waste for me to use that kind of place." Gazef said, "I'm also not used to living in a place that is too luxurious, maybe it's because I am a It’s because of my commoner background, those nobles often laughed at me because of this.”

"I think this place is very good." Clem said to Gazef with a serious face, "It feels like home."

"Thank you." Gazef smiled slightly at Climb, and continued, "By the way, I didn't expect everyone to come together. If I knew it, I should have ordered the servants to prepare something to entertain you."

"No need, we're not here to be guests, we're just here to join in the fun." Gagaran shook his hand and said, "After all, I still can't believe it, that Brian Anglaus would lose The heart is reduced to being taken in by one's opponent."

"What?" Clem turned to Gagran and asked, "Master Gagran has seen Lord Anglaus?"

"I've seen it before." Ge Gelan spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like this. I also participated in the King's Imperial Tournament back then, but I was messed up by a certain warrior leader."

Gazef next to him suddenly smiled wryly.

Ge Gelan ignored Gazef's feelings, and spoke while recalling.

"I have never talked to Brian Anglaus, but I have watched the finals of the Imperial Tournament, and I have seen the duel between Stronov and that man."

"At that time, Brian Anglaus was already a super-skilled swordsman. In the entire imperial tourney, he was probably the only one who brought a real threat to Stronov?"

"Although it's not good to say such things in person, in the industry, we actually agree that, in terms of talent alone, Brian Anglaus will surpass Stronoff."

Gagran's words made everyone look at Gazef in unison.

Gazef did not deny this, and obviously believed that, in terms of talent, he was not as good as Brian Anglaus.

That's why Brian Anglaus is regarded as a genius swordsman, and this is the recognized proof of his talent.

"Even after losing to Stronov, such a man never showed any discouragement in his eyes, and didn't have the slightest intention to give up. Instead, he stared at the winner with eyes full of fierce fighting spirit." Gaglan Said like this: "That's why I find it unbelievable that men at that time were actually defeated."

For this reason, Gagaran couldn't help but want to come over and see what Brian Anglaus has become.

On the contrary, Evileye, with a look of lack of interest, just followed in silence, as if he was not interested in Brian Anglaus' current situation at all.

She seems to be more interested in Li Ge, who has been silently staring at Li Ge's back, not knowing what she is thinking.

Li Ge also came over, or maybe he was invited by Gazef.

In the end, he still agreed to Gazef and came with him to check on Brian Anglaus' situation.

He was very curious, whether Brian Anglaus was still the same as the original book, and he became what he is now after encountering that incident.

So, Li Ge spoke like this.

"What happened in the end, you can find out by asking in person."

Saying that, Li Ge took the lead and walked towards Gazef's house.

Everyone at the scene followed immediately, and under the leadership of Gazef, they entered his home.

…………

Although Gazef's house is not big, it still has a courtyard dedicated to practicing swords for himself.

The courtyard is not big, and there are no flowers and trees planted. There are only a few swords placed in the corners for practice. There are no sharp swords, showing their usual usefulness to the fullest.

"Look, there it is."

Gazef led everyone into the courtyard, and pointed to the corner.

There, a sloppy man was holding a knife, huddling in the corner, looking at the practice sword set on the opposite side in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"...This is really a serious illness."

Gagaran made such a statement the first time he saw the man.

"Then, is that the legendary swordsman genius who can stand up to Mr. Stronov?"

Climb had a look of disbelief on his face.

"It seems that he did encounter a monster."

Evileye frowned under the mask seemingly imperceptibly, and then said these words lightly.

Everyone immediately saw the man's loss of soul and the nature of the man who had become a bereaved dog, and they were completely unable to compare him with the genius who had fought Gazef Stronov evenly. The swordsman drew an equal sign.

Even Li Ge thought about it.

"This seems to be more serious than the situation in the original book, right?"

What exactly did he encounter?
Thinking about such a thing, Li Ge turned his gaze and gave Gazef a look.

Gazef understood immediately, stepped forward first, and walked into the courtyard.

Not long after, Gazef came before Brian Anglos.

"You're still here, Anglaus." Gazef looked condescendingly at Brian, who was huddled in the corner, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't ask you to take a good night's sleep after eating and taking a shower. ?"

Gazef's voice gave the man named Brian a slight reaction.

"……can not fall asleep."

A hoarse voice sounded from the man's mouth.

"As soon as I close my eyes, I can't help thinking about everything I saw that day, as if everything is right in front of my eyes, and it's impossible to fall asleep."

The man's voice was not only hoarse, but also quite weak, giving people the feeling that a dying person was leaving his last words.

"...You guy, are you really Brian Anglos?"

Ge Gelan couldn't help but speak out, his voice was full of strong doubts and doubts.

Brian turned his gaze to Gagaran.

"……Who are you?"

Obviously what he saw was a female warrior who was so strong that he could easily crush him to death, but Brian didn't even have the slightest hint of surprise on his face, and his voice was still so weak.

"I'm Gagaran!" Gelan shouted angrily, "Geglan, fighter of the steel-ranked adventurer team [Blue Rose], remember it for me, Brian Anglaus!"

However, this sentence only got Brian's snorting reaction.

"Steel-level adventurer?" Brian said without hesitation, "It's a shame that you can talk about something of that level so grandly."

"What did you say?" Gagaran seemed to be insulted, his eyes burst into flames.

"It's nothing, I'm just giving you a piece of advice." Brian said, still looking weak, "Even the highest-ranked steel-ranked adventurers are at best human beings, weak and powerless."

"You may have put in a lot of effort for this, honing your skills desperately to reach the current state, but unfortunately, I have to tell you that those are useless."

"As long as you meet a real monster, a real strong man, the existence of human beings will be ravaged no matter what."

"In the future, don't give your name so confidently anymore, it's for your own good too."

Such words were not so much self-defeating, but rather complete heart-to-heart discourse, which made Ge Gelan furious.

"How dare you say such things, you bastard, can you be considered a man like this...!?"

Gagaran grabbed Brian by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and yelled loudly.

Brian, on the other hand, didn't resist at all, looking at Gagran with out-of-focus eyes.

With that appearance, the anger in Gagaran's heart could not help but disappear.

At that moment, Gagaran let go of his hand and dropped Brian.

"Give up, this guy is hopeless."

She gave this evaluation.

"The heart is completely dead. It is too gentle to describe it as fragmented. This kind of guy can no longer be called a swordsman, but a warrior. He can only be regarded as a walking dead. The best way to deal with it is to let him live Self-destruction."

Gagaran began to criticize mercilessly, but it didn't bring Brian even the slightest mood swing.

"This……"

Now, even Climb felt that Brian was a bit pitiful.

"Is it mental trauma? It's a symptom that fits human beings."

Evileye didn't know whether to say this in mockery or sympathy.

All three of them were 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 Brihot."

Gazef could only turn to Li Ge for help.

Li Ge had been observing Brian from the sidelines, and only after being called by Gazef like this did he show a pensive expression.

After a while, Li Ge fixed his eyes on the knife in Brian's hand.

As if tightly holding the last life-saving straw in his heart, Brian is the only one who holds the knife tightly, so that people can clearly feel the struggle in his heart.

Li Ge's eyes flickered slightly.

"Crack..."

Suddenly, he drew his knife.

"------!"

At this moment, whether it was Gazef or Brian, or even Gagaran, Evileye, Climb and the others, their complexions changed drastically.

Following Li Ge's movement of drawing 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.
