The Hope arrived at South Cape Island at around five o'clock the next morning. Lu Xi opened his eyes on time and looked at the other side: maybe the power of his requiem technique was too strong, and the two girls hadn't woken up yet. He exhaled a slightly turbid breath, feeling that the physical strength and magic he had consumed in the crystal illusion had basically recovered, and then he completely relieved himself and slowly got off the boat.

Cape South Island is the southernmost inhabited island of the Dominion of Neosfia, and it is also the base of its Second Fleet, with more than 30 naval warships of all sizes, more than 5,000 sailors, and nearly 10,000 staff and guards of various shore facilities. With this small military base as the center, after such a hundred years of development, it has gradually expanded into a town of considerable scale, and ordinary townspeople should have the appearance of twenty or thirty thousand people.

Of course, Mr. Tucros could not have been "in retreat" in such a noisy place, but on some uninhabited island off the coast of South Cape. It is said that it is already very close to the critical point of the world's leyline changes, the four seasons are like summer, the elements are active, and the aura is abundant, it is a good place for practice, and it is also known as the "horizon of the realm". Lu Xi felt that although the name was a little immediate, it was still quite lofty, but after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that the place should be the legendary equator.

Well, it's the equator! No wonder......

…… Isn't it just the equator?

For the first time, Lu Xi felt that too much knowledge was not a good thing, once he saw through the essence of this world, many romantic settings would not be budding at all, and there would actually be a lot less fun in such a life.

Ignorance is a blessing! Lu Xi thought.

Speaking of which. Mr. Tarcros went into retreat in order to break through the legend, but he didn't even know that his pillow man was a legendary being whose time could be counted in centuries. Is this a reversal of True Lies? If he really knew that his wife's strength had actually reached the point where he could stand tall on his mountain. Will the relationship between the two be as good as it is now?

Ignorance is really a blessing! Lu Xi thought. The important thing is that it should be said twice.

Lu Xi found an uninhabited beach and sensed the heavy sea water. Soon he found a blue emperor swordfish playing in the offshore waters. This behemoth, which is more than four meters long, can be regarded as one of the overlords of the offshore waters of the Neosfia Islands, but under the mind control technique, it does not even have the ability to resist at all, and willingly becomes Lu Xi's mount. While riding the fish, he opened the true eye of the god of war, circled the path for half a circle, and soon found his target.

The place where Mr. Tacros retreats is not an uninhabited island, but a coral reef. The exposure to the sea is only two or three meters square, and the terrain is not flat.

When Lu Xi rode the Emperor Swordfish close to the island reef. He was standing on a rugged reef, tall and swordsman. Although standing in the midst of the stormy waves, it is as stable as a rocky mountain, and it is indeed quite a kind of master grandmaster.

Lu Xi jumped onto the rock with a quick step, patted the swordfish behind him, and threw it a piece of high-energy compressed food as a reward, before unlocking the mind control.

"Is it Lu Xi? Your Excellency Belencaster, right? I thought it would take you at least twenty minutes to find this place, but I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of perception. It's impressive! The other party stood in place, watching Lu Xi and the swordfish wave goodbye, with an interesting smile on their faces.

Mr. Tucros should be almost sixty years old this year. However, as a transcendent person who is about to break through the legend, the activity of the body is by no means comparable to that of an extraordinary person. Now he looks like he's in his early forties. He has dark brown hair, unremarkable features, and is of medium height. The body is considered to be strong, but it is far from the point of the devil's muscles. Purely from the point of view of appearance. This is an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere in this world, the kind of sad little transparency that will be forgotten as soon as you rub shoulders.

He wears an elven soft-scale armor that doesn't interfere with his movements. Carrying two long swords on his back, he was fully armed, but he behaved quite kindly, his bearing was solemn but not cold and arrogant, his expression was gentle, but there was no flattery. As an elder, he actually called Lu Xi with a very formal honorific title, which made the latter somewhat flattered while secretly rejoicing. It can be seen that this swordsman whose strength has reached the golden 10th rank should be a person who values etiquette, knows how to advance and retreat, and is steady and flawless.

According to Tempest, before he officially took over the Implied Legion, Mister Tucros was Uncle Derenth's most relied on right-hand man. After she took the throne herself, it was Mr. Tacros's unequivocal support that allowed her to control the core lifeblood of the organization in a short period of time.

He glanced Lu Xi up and down, slowly showed a satisfied smile, and nodded slightly: "Your body seems to be thin and slender, and your posture seems to be a little lazy, but in fact, you exercise quite well, and you are a child with great perseverance." ”

"You've won a prize!" Lu Xi felt a little embarrassed. Now if he has time every day, he does have to practice the swordsmanship, staff and boxing skills he has mastered, on the one hand, of course, to be more familiar with the routines, but more to pretend to be forced, and he also enjoys the wonderful feeling that this body has broken through the limits of the human body, fluttering like a fairy, and even about to break free from the shackles of gravity - because the ordinary physical fitness of the strength of the people in this world far exceeds the limit of the people of the earth in his hometown, many martial arts movements are so gorgeous and exaggerated that he can't even hold back the TV movies and animations in his hometown, But it's really practical. This setting is actually very satisfying to Lu Xi - however, he has never really worked hard to exercise his body, and in terms of hard work, he is much worse than Lim and Nicole, let alone compared to his little disciple Kalman. The child's body "inexplicably" became healthier and healthier, and it suddenly seemed to burst out the vitality and diligence accumulated in bed for the previous six years, and now he spent more than twelve hours a day studying and exercising.

As a result, Lu Xi, who is a teacher, can feel a deep sense of frustration and guilt from his disciples every time. Just like when he was a student. The top student at the same table in the evening self-study paper is seriously reviewing her homework, but she feels the same when she is flipping a novel.

However. It's not an egg. We all know that human beings are such creatures full of original sin and lowly inertia. To know. Although Lu Xi had a little guilt back then, the hard-working honor girl at the same table did not save his fallen soul after all, and in the end he could only lend him his homework every day to copy. And we have already said before that Lu Xi, who has a system cheat, can never be out of shape even if he overeats every day and lies still holding his figures. Under this premise, if he could really have the diligence and dedication of Guo Juxia, maybe he would have already unified the Three Realms and overthrown the goddess, so why bother with the fact that he is almost 4 million words now.

It's not my fault! Diligent, self-motivated, focused, hardworking, and energetic protagonists who are full of positive energy are outdated. Now everyone is pretending to be ...... Ah no, I mean the calm and indifferent intellectuals. If you exercise every day and sweat all over the body, how can you be "elegant", how "proud", how "noble", how "cold"?

Not to mention how magnificent Lu Xi's heart has begun, he is naturally very calm in his expression, which is very in line with the recently popular protagonist style. Mr. Tacros nodded again, not knowing what had been added to his mind, and his smile became more and more satisfied: "And, for your age, it can be said that you are quite generous and dignified. This kind of spirit. It is by no means something that can be cultivated by being born with a lot of knowledge, but it is closely related to your mind and measurement. Very good, very good! Lu Xi? Lord Belencaster, look. You are a person who can do great things and is worthy of entrusting the future! She is indeed worthy of Miss Wind! ”

This is obviously a compliment to yourself. But Lu Xi had a feeling of fidgeting and wanting to find a crack in the ground to get into. I don't know if you have a similar feeling, like this kind of suspicion of sycophancy. It is said by a simple and loyal person like Mr. Tacros, but it is very shameful.

I think you're a decent and rigorous person. Lu Xi laughed dryly: "That." Your compliments really make me embarrassed. However, if you really think so highly of me, why don't you also release the water and hand over that token directly to me? ”

"Also? Looks like Orr, Sid, and Uchiko let you through easily. Tacros sighed slightly with a distressed expression.

"No, no, no, it's not easy at all, your lady, well, Aunt Firatir, almost killed me! No, no, no, it's worse than killing me, and I'm almost dragged into endless fantasies by her, and I forget who I am. ”

"Well, the insider's attainments in spiritual magic and illusion are indeed terrifying! Even if I am accidentally pulled into the illusion by him, I will be suppressed by her and have no room for resistance. To deal with such an illusion master, only to quickly attack before she unleashes her ability, and must not give her too lenient spell casting space. Tapros nodded, a look of understanding expression.

No, you don't understand at all. If your wife is really willing to come down seriously, even a legendary-level master will be played to death by her, and you, a "meagrely" gold 10th order, no matter how you rush to attack, it is useless. The right choice in tactics may not always be able to break through the trench in strength.

Again, ignorance is a blessing! Sure enough, it's more appropriate to say the important thing three times.

"In any case, I am receiving orders from Lord Drense after all, not to mention that this is related to the happiness of Miss Windwind." Mr. Tacros suddenly turned his face and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Lu Xi, please also face my sword with a real attitude towards actual combat!" ”

“…… Well, you've changed a little bit of your attitude! Didn't you just say that I was pretty good? ”

"I'm appreciative of you, of course, but that's just my superficial judgment based on the first image." He smiled: "I'm a rough man who learns swords, but I don't dare to think that I really have the so-called wisdom of knowing people." If you want to see your weapon in a short period of time, I'm afraid you can only rely on the dual swords in your hands, right? Swords don't deceive, I believe that in my heart. ”

Lu Xi sighed in his heart, knowing that it was impossible for him to really convince the other party to release the water. This kind of upright and peaceful person doesn't seem to have any personality, and he is serious to the extreme in terms of personality and ability, and he seems to be good at nothing. However, seriousness does not mean rigidity, seriousness does not mean paranoia, they are not dead brains that eat the ancients, and their upright and peaceful style of action often means that they have no shortcomings at all.

To be recognized by this kind of person, there is no point in clever off-the-shelf tricks.

Lu Xi thought silently as he took out the Sword of the Dawn Knight from his bracelet, but did not pull it out immediately.

The other party nodded, without a smile, but there was a satisfied look in his expression. He clasped his hands back and pressed them on the hilts of his twin swords, but he only heard a loud sound of "dang chang", as if he had suppressed the sound of the tide.

"There are still ten minutes left before the high tide, and before that, the winner will be decided, right?" He said loudly.

Lu Xi nodded, but he was constantly groaning, thinking to himself that you are such a serious person, and you are almost sixty now, but the effect of drawing the sword is still so pretending. Sure enough, every so-called moderate, deep down, is actually a sullen secondary school teenager? Or is it that men are all teenagers or something?

It's too pretending, I don't know if it's easy to pretend to be thunderbolted? Remember the last person who pretended to be so forced, well, was he blinded or cut lightly? Why can't you squeeze it clearly?

Since the other party wanted to lose his character, Lu Xi naturally couldn't tease him along, so he just stretched out one hand and gave the other party a thumbs up, and the other hand slowly pulled out the Dawn Knight's long sword. If it is only based on the formation of the two sides drawing their swords, the victory and defeat will be divided if this fight is not fought.

Wait, this setting sounds familiar, huh?

In Lu Xi's entanglement, the other party's dual swords have been ushered in in two ways. A sword slashed straight down in the air, accompanied by turbulent waves on his side, quite an earth-shattering momentum; The other sword went straight into Lu Xi's middle door, but when it was halfway through, the tip of the sword suddenly trembled, and it looked at Lu Xi's waist and eyes, looking changeable.

He clearly uses two kinds of swordsmanship, and he is powerful all the way, and he is dexterous all the way, and his attributes are clearly very different.

"Skillful hands?" Lu Xi thought to himself: "Sure enough, this kind of so-called serious people are not only sullen, but also have the potential to be refined!" (To be continued.) )
