He's a-comin...
In the previous duel, Percival told me if I kept dodging it could mean I was looking down on my enemy, so now let's not do that and start fending off Yan's attack
Swings, stabs, there are only two kinds of attacks that can be used right? Although the direction will make the variation different
I repelled all of Yan's attacks and tried several times to counterattack so as not to look like I was caving in. Actually I should feel sorry for seeing Yan who looks to put everything into this fight
At least in this way he will not feel humiliated...
After dozens of attacks as well as an equal number of stalks, Yan was exhausted. He was breathing fast and sweat was pouring all over his body
"Is that enough, young master Yan?"
"Yes... I'm sorry that I'm tired, miss." she said.
I walked towards the weapon rack to put this borrowed sword back there, Yan also did the same
"You fought quite well, young master Yan, your path of becoming a martial artist will definitely succeed,"
"Is that so, Miss? But my stamina..."
He had a good technique, his sword flow continued to accelerate like a rushing river. Maybe if he was a little more refined then his stamina did not quickly run out
"It wasn't so fast.... There are people who are growing even weaker huh...?" eh?
"What do you mean, young master?" Ask me to wonder
"Ah, that... I used to be able to swing my sword all day, but the more I get tired..."
Hm... Did he suffer from a certain disease?
"Can I be a good soldier Miss?"
"No-no, you can't pursue the goal of being a soldier, it's just a way to reach a higher goal of martial artists,"
"Oh! Is that so? So what is my ability to become a Ruby warrior?"
Ability...
"What I need is not those who can defeat dozens of people alone, but those who can stand firm before your enemies how many or how terrible they are. You leave the rest to me, I'll try to keep them alive,"
Maybe Ruby's good warrior criteria is discipline, enough of that
"I knew a determined martial artist who ended up tired of his military career even though it was very successful, but in the end he could die with a satisfied smile in the hands of someone stronger than him. You know who I'm talking about, right?"
"That's... Feng Xian's..."
I heard that the news of Feng Xian's death spread quickly, and with it the spirit of the martial artists decreased. Well... For hundreds of years they developed it but still lost against the Ruby knight...
"Let me tell you something that the bird did not say, Feng Xian managed to get our strongest knight motivated and now he is on the same path as you, Feng Xian, did, and martial artists are on the move,"
"Whoah! Is that true, miss?! So Feng Xian's spirit managed to reach his opponent even though he lost... I want to be that kind of person!"
He took the weapon back on the shelf, this time he took the spear
"Let's fight one more time, miss!"
"Ughs.... I don't think so long ago, as long as you knew my stamina was much weaker than yours." I said.
"Ehh.... Well I'm not pushy, thank you for the fight before," he said, saluting
But it's strange when he says that he actually gets weaker as you get older, I mean it's true that you age anyway... But Yan was still even younger than Li
Hm... Maybe it is true that he has a certain disease, I advised him to check in at the doctor when Qing's condition had become more stable.
When I was about to go back down, Yan decided to train a little longer. So I left him there alone to practice, while myself wanted to go back to the library to find a new reading
More science I got wasn't bad either, was it?
Hm?
But as I passed by Hu's room, I felt a strange chill from inside. The door of the room was not closed tightly so that the air could come out, was it really the process of making pills where it was?
Wouldn't it be better to do it out in the open?
"Miss Ryuu?" Hu appeared from behind that door
He wanted to close the door but was surprised to see me
Then... What's in his hand? A sculptured statue of wood? How does it look familiar?
"Sorry miss, must the aura be bad huh?" So he understands
"Are you making another pill?"
"That's right, the ingredients do have a very thick and pungent aroma and air" he replied
"Is that so? But as long as the effect is good then it doesn't matter, please help in the future Mr. Hu,"
"Y-Yes, miss,"
He closed the door, was there anything he was trying to hide? Feng told me to open up to me, right?
Hm...
I think there's a reason behind the secret, some of which I probably shouldn't even know even if Feng said he'd be open.
.
Once again I say being here is so soothing to the soul, the feeling I get here is similar to being in a temple away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's silent yet noisy at the same time because of the wind, the chirping of birds, the chirping of birds, and the sound of insects constantly ringing
Some people certainly choose to be in a place like this rather than urban huh? I don't dislike it, but because I still have things to do so...
Maybe in the future when all my goals have been achieved I will often play here, if this place still exists anyway... I hope it's still
Let's hope that the fire of war that I might have fizzled out of here, let's hope that God doesn't bring down a disaster to this place
Strange enough when someone prays to him that he doesn't do something huh? People usually ask for something
Let it...
Speaking of conquest, I'm worried about my army again
Being here though it calms the soul but I also can't tell what happened to Kyouka and Ruby's army, I hope they don't start rebelling
Ughhh....
Come to think of it again the chances of them rebelling were quite high as well!
Especially when I left, didn't they even become unruly?!
Arghh! I need to get home as soon as possible!
"Miss Ryuu!"
"Well? What's up?"
He approached me
"Eh? Didn't you come here to eat?" ask him
"That's right, but since the door was closed so I continued walking,"
"Oh... Indeed so. The Xia family usually only gather at dinner, because we are a busy family knows," he said
Looking at him, it seemed like he had the most tenuous time...
"Yesterday just because you came we had lunch together" Li continued
"So what now? I'm so hungry,"
"Hehe, I'm hungry too. We're going straight to the kitchen! We're asking for new food!" answerable
"Ehh... Is the other one like that?"
"Of course not, but since I haven't seen the kitchen for a long time so I'm taking you there, '" huhh...
"All right..."
The kitchen has a very rich aroma of spices, but on the other hand it looks quite gloomy as well... Minimal lighting, and ventilation, it deserves the fragrant spices that are cooked continue to be here.
Inside the kitchen were two seniors working on something, they were making steamed bao bread. One was preparing water for steaming, one was chopping meat
"Auntie! Uncle!" Sapa Li's
"Young lady? What made you come here?"
"We're both hungry so we're here" Li replied
"Eh? But you can ask the waiter who is there,"
"All right now I want to take a look around,"
This girl's... He does whatever he wants wherever he is...
But why do I smell this bad again?
"Li, do you smell bad?"
"Rubby smell? All I smell is the spice,"
This stench was the same as the one coming out of the room that belonged to Li's father
Hm... Maybe it flew all the way here, but...
It turns out to be very suspicious, I mean the movements of Li's father. Although I previously said there were some secrets to keep, I felt that the secret was quite dangerous
Or is it just my feelings?
Hm...
Come to think of it again... The statue I saw earlier in his room had some similarities to the one in the hole where the Devil came out from inside the ground...
The aura in his room...
Uh!
"Li! I have to go to your father's room, come with me!"
"Eh? W-Why? He said you're hungry, should I come anyway?"
"There's no time to explain everything here, come on!" I pulled it by force
"Ehh..."
We walked quickly through the hallway of the Xia residence that I had passed through several times already, if my guess was correct then the situation was quite serious. And also it can lead me to the mastermind behind all the strange events so far
There is a great power that tries to reverberate in the shadows, weakening us to the point where we humans can be attacked easily later.
But who is the question
As far as I know the unwritten laws regarding the prohibition of war against us are still in effect and it is remembered that all the races that live on Kelfia, Elves and Dwarves remember that very well, Dragon and Seraphim cannot forget it, then who?
"Your father may have been deceived by a group,"
"Eh?"
"They are also the masterminds behind the incidents that have befallen Qing at the moment,"
"Wait a minute, isn't that dangerous?"
"Eat it I want to make sure, what do I guess by opening this door,"
We got to the front of his room, the aura felt even more concentrated, the smell released was also more disgusting than before
I held the door, ready to open it
"Maybe it's not what I thought,"
Not only did I open, there was a familiar cry from inside. We both knew whose voice it was and so we were both very surprised to hear it
I immediately pulled the door and saw the horrible reality behind it.
