Morning in the Tower of Swords

"Then why don't you take up your sword to defend your pride? It is entirely possible to defeat me. If you are worried that I will not be able to bear it, can't those just now prove it?"

"...So you understand it this way? But according to what we said before, as long as I agree with your strength, it's enough. There is no need to decide the real winner, and I don't want to waste energy here."

Skadi stood up clutching his right arm, the expression on his face was as calm as water, and he didn't feel frustrated at all, as if the fierce fight just now was just a play with his companions.

"Even if I picked up the sword, you haven't taken the initiative to make a move before this. You are all passively resisting my attack. Facing an invisible opponent, you only need to stab from the gap, and I don't even have any way to advance." Defense."

Seeing that Skadi had completely given up on continuing the fight, Gavial also wanted to take the initiative to check and treat the injury on her arm, but was stared back by Jogo on the way, Gavial could only resent Confidently put down the mace in her hand, and took out the recovery medicine spray bottle she had with her.

The result of the examination was that her hand was not broken, but sprained and bruised. Even Jogo couldn't help admiring that the killer whale meat was tough and durable, even if it was compared with the world.

"And judging from the things I explained to me just now, you still have one of your strongest abilities that you haven't used, right? It's the power to 'change the rules'."

Although Skadi didn't know that Platinum Star's strongest ability was to stop time, it didn't prevent her from being highly vigilant about it, and her purpose of this trip was to find the "key" and talk to the "omniscient" Kelsey exchanged information, other than that, other energy-consuming behaviors were meaningless.

In this regard, Jogo could only nod pretendingly, as if he agreed with Skadi's reason.

But in fact, before the two started fighting, he hadn't unlocked the time-stop ability at all, and it only existed in theory.

"Yeah, let's do it like this, remember that our victory has not been decided yet, and you haven't lost yet, but since you have chosen this way, you have to unconditionally agree to our treasure hunting cooperation, you take what you want things, and I'll just take the shiny Cazimir Knight gold coins, no problem?"

"……something wrong."

The upright Skadi objected unexpectedly to Qiaogo, which made everyone present vigilant, especially Qiaogo who was facing her, because he understood that some people may belong to the good camp, but they are not Definitely lawful, maybe even chaotic.

He's a typical one himself, just able to switch as needed.

If Skadi is determined not to keep her promise in order to achieve her goal, then Jogo will have to take tougher measures. It just so happens that he just tested the ability unlocked by a 30.00% matching degree, and there are no surprises. That is stop time.

Although it is only for an instant, it still means that the leap from the "Platinum Star" to the "Platinum Star World" has been completed, and with the precision and speed bonuses that can catch bullets, it can also be achieved in an instant. become the key to reversing the situation.

Let's see now, what will Skadi do...

"According to the agreement, don't I still have to apologize to you?"

"...Oh, oh, there is such a thing, that, do you want to find a quiet place to come alone?"

Hearing what Skadi said, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, but only Jogo's behavior was very strange, and when he thought of some peculiar killer whale customs, he almost couldn't hold back and was about to overflow The excited expression on his face almost broke the invincible expression.

So he could only lower his head slightly, and then lowered the shadow of the hat brim.

"Thank you doctor for your thoughtfulness, but don't care about my face at all. Even for a person like me who has lived in the ocean for a long time, the deep sea is still full of unknowns. No one can guarantee that he will not make mistakes, so basically I have already gotten used to it. Feel free to apologize for the misunderstanding.”

What are you used to? Hey!Don't say it so imaginatively! !

It's no good, let's make a quick decision. If this goes on, Jogo feels that he is going to burn his body again and turn into a ghost knight.

"Then hurry up and leave immediately, Margaret... Oh no, Linguang, please contact Raytheon Industries and ask them to arrange an armed cargo vehicle for us as quickly as possible."

"Okay, doctor, but since this mission is in the territory of Casimir, you still need someone to accompany you there, preferably a local knight, because if it involves knight treasures, it can better request The cooperation of local insiders and the proper protection of the Casimir ruins."

... Are you implying yourself?

But having said that, what Linguang said is correct, the Knights’ Treasure is simply the tombs of the ancient knights, although in order to meet the needs of the times, Linguang had to agree to "borrow" something from these respectable ancestors. But I still hope to protect their last trace of decency as a modern knight.

And Linguang should also know the shortcoming that the stand-in messenger body will be relatively weak, so he can't let the doctor go out alone like before. At that time, Yoshikage Kira was accompanied by La Gouzi and Red Cub.

But Jogo also cannot let Linguang's "willfulness" go. The Rhodes Island branch needs Linguang to preside over the initial work. This is not only because she is the only person with excellent commanding skills besides the doctor , and she needs to check and balance those guys who want to make small moves in the name of Yao Knight.

Because she was the most exposed person after the knight competition was suspended, and under the operation of capital, the headline "Rehabilitation for the Glorious Knight" can be seen everywhere, so as long as Linguang is in charge, many forces that need to take public opinion into account will have nothing to do with Rhodes Island .

Charney was also very glad that he was on the right side at this time, otherwise, even if he worked hard, Meshko would probably have pushed him out as a scapegoat for persecuting Yao Knight.

"It makes sense, then... let Li follow me."

"..."

Linguang stared at Qiao Ge, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, which made him rub the bridge of his nose, then put his hands on her shoulders, and stroked her hair calmly.

"Then add Maria, she can fix cars."

Raytheon Industries moved very quickly. The instructions given by Qiao Ge were as effective as the orders of their own chairman. In less than two cigarettes, an armed logistics truck with the logo of Raytheon Industries arrived at Rhodes Island. At the gate of the stronghold, a group of four people were carried to the address provided by Skadi.

A Casimir village called Water Drop Village.

As a mechanical engineering enthusiast, Maria is of course familiar with driving, but Jogo, who is sitting in the co-pilot, has his hands folded in front of his chest, his expression is cloudy, and his face is hard and iron-blue, just like It's like just coming out of the wrought-iron stove and soaking in cold water.

Even Maria didn't know where her brother-in-law was unhappy, because she wanted to concentrate on driving, so she didn't dare to ask for the time being, but Li stretched out her upper body from the window between the rear compartment and the front seat, He wrapped his arms around Jogo's neck.

"What's the matter, my dear doctor, it's not okay to always look so preoccupied. You should smile when you see me. After all, I'm the best person to protect you, isn't it?"

"...Thank you, Rubble, but where did you learn these words?"

"I didn't learn it from anywhere, so I naturally wanted to say it."

So you are also the big-eyed leopard boss?

However, there are really many groundhogs and groundhogs on the Kjerag Plateau. Perhaps Li’s ancestors immigrated from Kjerag, but Jogo is not stupid enough to take the initiative to ask if you know What happened before becoming a slave, if she wanted to, she would say it herself.

"Why does the doctor look so depressed and disappointed? Could it be that my way of apologizing violates the customs of the land people?"

No, just because your way of apologizing is too land-based, I was about to loosen my waistband, but in the end... that's it? ? ?

Skadi’s faint voice came from behind Li, and she was ghostly without footsteps. You must know that given her weight, Jogo thought that there would be a heavy pounding sound like a seal bouncing, and it might even affect her body. The weight ratio to the freight car is balanced.

But in fact, nothing unusual happened when she walked around in the car, and even her footsteps were softer than ordinary people. In the noise of the vehicle, Jogo could only hear it by using the precision bonus.

Perhaps this is also some kind of skill of Skadi, who can evenly distribute her weight on the ground around her body, greatly reducing the pressure, so that she will not step on the land with one footprint and one crater.

Only when the truck passes through the border checkpoint of the Great Knights, or the weighbridge at the toll booth, will the value displayed on it tell Jhogo that the truck is full of a "monster".

Fortunately, Raytheon Industry's management work is very professional, and no one even came to check the "goods" in their car, otherwise Skadi would have to expose his weight in public, and I don't know if she would mind, but in short, Jogo believes in Girls' weight is the secret truth.

Orca girls...probably the same.

Otherwise, why is her weight file column covered by black boxes in the game?

"No, it has nothing to do with you. It's just my usual expression of thinking alone. You know, I used to be a marine biologist, but the endless disputes forced me to temporarily give up my beloved career and rush to one after another. Maybe one day, I will die in the battle, and I am mentally prepared for it."

"But I just want to be buried in the sea, let my body drift with the current, and gradually sink into the place I yearn for... So Miss Skadi, I have to say that my request to you before was actually selfish, I think I hope you can forgive me for learning more about the ocean that people on land cannot know from you."

These words made Skadi involuntarily empathize with her. She is also in danger in hunting and killing large "creatures" for the sake of the sea she loves and the people she wants to protect.

If Skadi is allowed to choose her burial place, there is no doubt that she will die in the sea, but the difference between the two is that the ocean is Skadi's hometown, if it is not for the treatment of the ghost shark, she will die at any time. He has the right to choose his dreams, but the doctor does not. For him, all these are elusive.

"I never knew that there are people on land who have deep feelings for the sea. I will tell the doctor. If everything goes well, I may have the opportunity to show you. When you open your eyes on the sea, the brilliant The starry sky dripping down the eye sockets, the boundless waves brushing the cheeks, it is tears and the taste of home...all these are beautiful, can the doctor also understand?"

"Yes, I can……"

boom! !

The sensational scene has finally been paved. Jogo was about to accept Skadi's sincere words, but he didn't expect that just as he opened his mouth, he heard a loud noise, and the vision in front of the car window was suddenly covered by a piece of sand lifted by the explosion. It was so strict that it made Maria tremble all over with fright, and she almost stepped on the accelerator subconsciously and rushed straight over.

Fortunately, Jogo immediately called out the Platinum Star, firmly supported the accelerator pedal with his fist, and "stepped" on the brake with his other fist instead of Maria.

We can't blame Maria, this is a habit she developed during the racing training of the knight arena, because there were many such mechanisms on the track at that time that were used to interfere with the players' sight, or more importantly, to provide entertainment for the audience , and there is only one technique that Zofia taught her, that is, when it doesn't exist, just rush over it.

But it doesn't work in reality. Jogo is also a person who has communicated and cooperated with several mercenary groups. He knows very well that this is someone oppressing and robbing the road, and the explosion that did not directly hit the vehicle is just a Warning, if Maria really stepped on the accelerator, she might just fall into the minefield.

"Sister, brother-in-law?"

"Don't panic, Maria, park the car and leave the rest to me. Miss Skadi, please stay here first. If you need your strength as a last resort, I will let you know."

Jogo immediately exchanged glances with Li, and the two got out of the car at the same time. Although armed vehicles can defend against ordinary bullets and arrows, it is impossible to survive the explosion. How about solving the problem blocking the way ahead?

Sure enough, the moment they got out of the car, many people, like the Viet Cong, got out of the thick grass on both sides of the road immediately, holding bows and crossbows and aiming at Qiao Ge and Li.

In this regard, Qiao Ge can only say that the original ecology of Casimir outside the Great Knight's collar is really well maintained. Except for this abrupt road and the railings that are only a few tens of centimeters high, the vegetation on both sides is simply like that of a virgin forest. degree.

When the two sides were confronting each other, a small man with a brown-red tail and an assassin's veil came out from behind the bushes, proudly announcing their unilateral hegemony.

"The vehicles of your Raytheon Industries were requisitioned by the integration movement. Since the Kazimirs are the enemy of Ursus, I will make up for you afterwards... Wait, you, are you a guy!??"

Recently, since the Integration Movement successfully created an artificial natural disaster in Chernobog, they have been ordered by the leader Tallulah to stay still, and some of them have even been directly transferred from combat service to reserve service. To put it bluntly, they were arranged to dig mine.

Most of the people in the integration movement were fighting with their blood and courage. Of course, there are also some perverts who want to fish in troubled waters, commit crimes, or even satisfy their own distorted desires. But no matter what their purpose is, Talu La's actions disappointed them all.

The blood will cool down after a long period of slack, and people will gradually realize what kind of stupid thing they are doing, while perverts feel that they have no chance to display their "talent", so these two types of people are looking for opportunities to escape alone integrated sports teams.

The impact of this turmoil is not just that the integration movement has lost some combat power, because at this time, even ordinary integration personnel who are not so high in IQ and just drifted with the flow before have reacted.

"I joined the integration movement to get revenge on those who oppressed me, and to build a country or even a world dominated by infected people, and now I still have to mine like before, and the food is so bad!! I don't fucking Do... it's over!"

Although under the restraint of the cadres, these people are only at the stage of complaining, and they dare not escape from the organization like those who are bold, cautious, or uniquely capable, but the panic inside cannot be stopped at all.

However, Talula, the leader, reacted flatly to this, and just ordered the cadres to prepare military resources slowly, as if the radical leader who commanded a group of mobs and dared to capture Qiecheng suddenly changed to another person .

But in fact, Tallulah still arranged some countermeasures, such as letting the most mobile kingslayer lead a team to capture or even kill a few defectors as a warning to others, that is, Big Bob's team and Mud Rock squad.

If they are willing to come back to accept punishment, it is just an arrest, and if they resist, the Kingslayer squad with full mobility will definitely not be able to fight against a group of heavy armored personnel or even cadres who wrapped themselves in a human-shaped fortress, but this Does not prevent the Kingslayer from using explosives to carry out his executions.

Just like W's favorite ambush tactics in the integration movement.

But when Kingslayer followed Big Bob's fleeing footsteps and came to Casimir, she found a problem, because her entire team was traveling lightly, so she definitely couldn't carry a lot of mortars or bombs. Heavy weapons such as machine guns that can be put into battle immediately, some are just origin stone explosives.

In this case, even if they catch up with Big Bob, it will be useless, because they cannot immediately pose a threat to their heavy armor, and if Big Bob runs away wholeheartedly, the kingslayer will have no time to arrange explosives, so why not Carrying a dagger and a short knife all the way chasing Ding Ding Ding scrape Sha?

Therefore, in order to completely deter Big Bob, one cannot just follow him, but predict his itinerary, and set up an ambush ahead of his route. In that case, he needs someone who can carry all her team members, and it is best to hide his identity. Fast transit too.

Moreover, the kingslayer learned by intercepting and interrogating the bounty hunters who kept pouring into the border of Casimir that there seemed to be rumors that several knights' treasures had been unearthed near a certain village recently, each of which contained a coveted massive amount of ancient treasures. Knight gold coins.

Kingslayer once had a personal relationship with Big Bob in terms of tactical cooperation. She knew that Big Bob's dream was to retire after the integration movement was successful, and find a peaceful countryside with a sum of money. Opening an Originium worm farm to spend the rest of his life, but the infected person's career has not yet been successful, and he naturally didn't get enough money.

Therefore, Kingslayer speculated that the reason why Big Bob came to Casimir, who was equally hostile to the infected, was for the money in the knight's treasure. As long as she drove to the village first and set up an ambush, she would be fine Big Bob doesn't deliver it himself.

Now, there is only a shortage of soldiers... Ah no, it is a vehicle that is convenient, it is best to be a truck from another logistics company, or an ordinary commercial company, if you can grab a truckload of supplies to fight The Teeth Ceremony was a perfect start.

So the Kingslayer team turned into a group of robbers on the spot. They planted explosives on the road and waited for the victim to come to their door. If it was a small vehicle, let it go. There is no time to waste that At the time, they only stopped large trucks that could hold the entire team.

Things went "smooth" than Kingslayer expected. Not long after she set up the bomb barricade, a vehicle with Raytheon Industry printed on it drove over from a distance. Although Kingslayer knew that this was a powerful Colombian company International Arms Company, but still ordered to rob him.

It's just that she temporarily decided to give compensation after the event, so as not to cause additional enemies to the integration movement at this stage. Anyway, in the eyes of the kingslayer, when the matter of Big Bob is resolved, she will also have the treasure of the knight's treasure. Must win, is it not drizzle to lose a car?

BOOM!

The bomb detonated, the vehicle stopped abruptly, and the people in the vehicle were forced to give up resistance. Everything in the plan was as smooth as silk, until she saw the face of the man who got off the co-pilot.

! ! ! !

Although it seems that there is something missing from the appearance in the impression, and there is more of an inexplicable temperament, but the Kingslayer will never admit it wrong. This is the strategy of stopping the integration movement with unparalleled power alone. , A man who "tortured" himself until he almost lost his heart.

Rhode Island, Ph.D.

A man who used to compare the hardness of Big Bob's armor with hair or other hairs.
