Chapter 1223: Ionia's Confusion
When Rhodes lamented that the war was about to come again, as a native of Ionian, Master Yi's attention was completely focused on those children.
Unlike Rhodes, although Master Yi has a keen insight beyond ordinary people, he has little strategic thinking, and many of his choices come from "I think I should be like this" rather than "what am I doing this for" - of course, this is not a criticism, Master Yi's choice is in a sense, but also more innocent, he never shies away from his likes and dislikes, and always maintains a clear concept of right and wrong, which is difficult for ordinary people to adhere to.
Well, the topic is a bit far away, in short, unlike Rode, who knows little, what Master Yi is thinking about now is how to save these innocent children.
As for Levy's past, he didn't think about it for the time being.
One yard to one yard.
Unfortunately, no matter what Master Yi said, Levy would never allow him to replace the children with himself - instead, he asked Master Yi to offer him a "vote certificate" in order to release the children.
"I know you very well, Master Yi." Levi pressed his broken blade against a child's vest, "You always stick to your sword path - this used to be admirable, but now it only annoys me...... And now, it's time for you to break your own kendo! β
"What do you mean?"
"Now you have two options." Levi's grinning grinned fiercely, "Either pick up your sword and turn around and kill that chattering guy, or watch me kill this kid in front of youβI want to see what choice the famous Master Yi will make when faced with such a dilemma." β
"I don't want to do anything with you." Master Yi didn't make any moves, just looked at this former friend quietly through the seven-eyepiece, "I also hope you don't force me." β
"I'm just pushing you." Levi laughed, "I want to see, even if I force you, what can you do - kill me?" Sorry, I didn't care about this for a long time! β
Although Levy never revealed his experience after leaving Salem Prison, it is not difficult to imagine that he is no longer the swordsman who fought in Ionia before.
Or rather, Levy never fought for Ionia, he was more of a lone avenger, Ionia didn't protect his family, and he didn't see Ionia as his allegiance, so he fell into a terrible madness when Irelia finally tried to stop his revenge.
And just like that, the atmosphere froze.
Seeing that Master Yi didn't plan to make a move, Levy broke his hand without warning - although the long sword was broken, the break was extremely sharp, and with a light touch, it was already more than three points into the flesh.
"Give me your answer!" Levy stared at Master Yi in front of him, who still hadn't made a choice, "Now! β
And under Levy's step-by-step pressure, Master Yi finally drew his sword out of its sheath.
The long sword flashed in front of Levy's eyes like a streamer, and he didn't even know where the sword was going, and Master Yi had already returned the sword to the sheath.
Levy subconsciously wanted to stab the broken sword in his hand forward for three more points - although Levy himself knew that he was able to leave Saleng Prison and be able to stand here by relying on the means of some big people, but at this moment, facing the calm and usual Master Yi, he fell into an abnormal mania, obviously the other party didn't say anything, but he unexpectedly had a feeling of ridicule.
At this moment, Master Yi's calmness seemed to him to be an accusation of his own weakness, and the man with the seven-eyepiece seemed to be saying, "It is precisely because of your weakness that you can't even protect your wife and children."
When Nameless Fire Rises and Streamer flashes, all Levy wants to do is stab the sword in his hand fiercely!
However...... Levy's spur is empty.
In this streamer, the left hand of the sword had been separated from his body, and after subconsciously exerting force, he heard the sound of the broken arm and the broken sword falling to the ground.
"Stop." Master Yi finally spoke again, "While everything is still irreparable, stop!" β
"While everything is not irretrievable?" Under the severe pain, Levy not only did not panic in the slightest, but even calmed down a little, "That's a pity...... Master Yi, what you don't know, everything is irreparable. β
"As long as you let the kids go......"
"Don't play dumb." Levy's face was pale, but his eyes were fixed on Master Yi in front of him, "Whether it's me or Ionia...... It's all irretrievable. β
"What do you mean?!" Master Yi was shocked, "What the hell is going on?!" β
Unfortunately, Levy had no intention of answering, he let go of the child in his arms, and then quickly pulled out a dagger and plunged it into his chest without hesitation - and although Master Yi had already stepped forward with his sword to try to stop it, it was too late.
After all, Master Yi's long sword failed to pick off Levy's left hand before the dagger was added.
The long body slowly fell to the ground, and Levy smiled rarely.
As Levy fell, the people who followed him also silently let go of the child, bowed to Master Yi, and then chose to leave in an orderly manner, and after they left, the parents finally hugged the children and cried bitterly on the spot - only Master Yi, he was completely stupid for the first time.
What the hell is going on?!
What the hell is Levy going to do?!
Master Yi didn't quite understand Levy's words, but Rhodes figured out almost everything - Levy put his own life and death out of the matter, and for him, death was a relief.
Levy was not a fanatical terrorist, although he did do much more than that.
That's right, under the arrangement of the person who rescued Levi from Saleng Prison, he participated in many assassination operations, and the broken sword was already drenched in blood.
These actions were more like a deal for Levy, and the reward for the deal was everything he was today - he had lost his reason to live long after losing his wife and children and stabbing his enemies, and Irelia's handling brought him completely to the opposite side.
Levy wasn't stupid, he knew what it meant to kill a captive, so after being broken and wounded by Irelia's sword, he was relentless.
However, Levy is still unhappy with Irelia's choice, and if he can, he hopes that Irelia will not stop his actions and then punish himself, instead of stopping them in the first place.
Levy's mind had fallen into a strange twist.
And for a person who is about to face death, and calmly accepts, or even faintly expects death, what Levy wants to know is probably "if Master Yi were himself, what he would choose to do"βwhat he wants to do, what he asks, from this point of view, in fact, this matter is unusually straightforward and clear.
Levy is a small microcosm of the current Ionians, where contradictions and confusion have become the main theme, and under this main theme, there is an undercurrent called civil war.
All...... It's just getting started.
