470. in the first place

At this moment, there was a silence in the conference room.

Sean could feel a strong and oppressive aura in the air that was spreading at a breakneck speed.

"Locke of the Astral Plane?"

"Isn't Locke dead?"

"How many years have this been......"

"At least a hundred years, right?"

Sylarn's brow furrowed, and the look of rage on his face faded into a solemn one. He just stared at Egger like this, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "Are you sure?" Is it really Astral Locke? ”

Sean noticed that Sylarn's tone was extremely heavy and solemn, and there was even a little hidden uneasiness. However, there was no strange look on his face, and it seemed that he was just a little troubled by the appearance of this unexpected figure-Sean's gaze swept over all the people in the conference room, and then he was surprised to find that none of these guys really could feel the uneasiness in Sylarn's tone.

They all clearly expressed their trepidation and uneasiness on their faces, and did not hide it in the slightest.

This made Sean, who was accustomed to the deceitful atmosphere of the realm, feel extremely uncomfortable.

How simple-minded are the people of the Floating Island?

Sean didn't know how famous Locke was before, the only thing he knew was that he had fought with him once before, but because of the True Eye, Sean didn't feel how strong this guy named Locke was. On the contrary, he couldn't get any benefits from his subordinates at all, so in the end he could only choose to flee away - in Sean's eyes, if he was not present at that time. I'm afraid that the ranks of Iger and Pyrus should be wiped out.

"I'm sure." Egger stood upright, with a bit of a military demeanor.

"Did you fight him?" Silarn asked in a deep voice.

"Nope." Iger shook his head slightly.

"And how do you know it's Locke?" Sylarn's expression sank slightly.

"He's showing his true colors." Iger said in a deep voice. "Originally, he launched a surprise attack on me, but he was stopped by Sean."

"Sean?" Silar frowned. Then he shifted his gaze to Sean, who was standing next to Iger, "Is that him?" ”

"Yes." Iger nodded.

At this time, everyone sitting in the conference room turned their eyes to Sean's body. However, the only look on everyone's face was distrust and wariness, which was exactly the same as the first look of all the floating people that Sean had seen on the floating island, and there was no difference.

Even Syllain frowned.

It's just that this guy who seems to have a very hot temper seems to have a more delicate mind and a slightly deeper scheming, because his brow is only not wrinkled, and he does not show the same guardedness and hostility as the others. Just contempt hidden in the depths of the eyes. But after all, it still couldn't escape Sean's observation - of course, if you count the orange halo revealed by the True Eye, Sean is completely sure that the attitude of the people of the Floating Island towards the inhabitants of the Realm will definitely not be friendly.

"You're the one who stopped Locke?" Silarn said in an indifferent tone, his head slightly raised, looking a little arrogant.

Sean didn't reply, just looked at Sylar with a calm face.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, but Sean knew that his actual age was definitely more than that. Because this is a high-ranking Sacred Domain powerhouse. According to Egger, Sirah is a strong man who can compete with Levi, which means that Sylarn's combat experience and martial arts skills are also outstanding, at least much ahead of people such as Egger and Pirus.

But the realm of the Sanctuary. The level of personal strength can no longer represent a qiē, and what can truly represent the "absolute" is only the perception of the law. Although the upper Sacred Domain powerhouse is slightly higher than the lower and middle rank in terms of the perception of the law, it is not uncommon for the lower and middle Sacred Domain powerhouses to kill the upper Sacred Domain powerhouse. And because of that. That's why Pyrus dared to challenge Levi with his mad god bloodline, and even ignored the so-called top ten powerhouses in the comprehensive list of the Floating Saint Academy.

Of course. He's a genius in his own right.

And Silain is undoubtedly also a member of the ranks of "geniuses".

Just in Sean's opinion. The reason why Syllain refused to be the top ten of the so-called academy was simply that he couldn't stand the humiliation of failure. Of course, there is no idea of hiding the failure - for example, "None of the strong people like me are ranked in the top 10 of the academy, and the so-called top 10 of the academy is just a false name". After all, in this world, no matter where it is, there are always a lot of onlookers who don't know the truth.

Looking at Sean's unceremonious gaze at him, Xiran's face couldn't help but sink, revealing a little impatience: "I'm asking you!" ”

Sean's face showed a bit of sarcasm: "Who do you ask?" I didn't hear anyone talking to me. ”

This attitude instantly made everyone in the entire conference room look dissatisfied, and many people were extremely annoyed.

Iger glanced at Sean, and there was a deep look of helplessness in his eyes. Although he and Sean have only known each other for two days, and the contact is not deep, he is really clear about Sean's character, don't look at Sean is very talkative and easy-going, but this guy is really proud to the bone, if you don't respect him, he won't respect you either.

It is true that the people of the floating island respect the strong, but the people of the floating island also have a kind of superiority and arrogance that also comes from their bones, and in their opinion, the people of the earth are inferior. So no one will respect Sean until they have seen Sean's strength.

Therefore, Egger, who was caught in the middle, seemed quite helpless.

"Your Excellency Sylarne, allow me to say a word." Coughing lightly, seeing that there was a high chance of a big fight in the conference room, Iger could only speak.

"Say!" Silar looked away from Sean's and turned to Egg's, and shouted coldly.

Look at the scene in front of you. The sneer on Sean's face became even more apparent.

Others may not be able to see it, but Sean knows it all too well. Don't look at Xila's appearance so fierce, he seems to be very angry. But in reality, he had no idea of fighting with himself at all. Although the feeling is not necessarily accurate, Sean's intuition is to tell him, and Silarn seems to be a little afraid to fight with him, so Egger's opening is equivalent to giving Siraen a step down.

At this moment, Sean seemed to understand a little bit as to why Sylarn was not Levy's opponent.

Because Shelarn is too shrewd, it doesn't look like the style of the Floating Islanders. He always takes many factors into account when doing things, so that he is always in the most advantageous situation. Therefore, he needs to spend a lot of mind to calculate, and naturally he has no time to practice martial arts. In the same way, there is a lack of indomitable and desperate momentum like Levy, and many times he will always choose to save his life first.

And such a person, no matter how talented he is, his achievements are bound to be limited.

Therefore, from the moment Sirah was defeated by Lévy, he was destined to be impossible to surpass Lévy in this life. Because of this, Sean can probably understand why Egger told him why Sylarne and Levi have a good relationship. It's not that Schillar is really that generous. Ignoring the shame of his defeat to Lévy, he was too shrewd, and being friends with Lévi would be more beneficial to his reputation.

"Mr. Sean is a friend of His Excellency Lévy, and it seems that his visit to the Floating Island this time was brought back by His Excellency Lévy." Iger spoke.

"Levy?" Silarn was stunned for a moment. Then he whispered, "Levi is unconscious now, how can I prove it?" ”

"This is what I saw with my own eyes." Iger spoke. "Levi was the only one with Mr. Sean at the time, and it was indeed Mr. Sean who was protecting Levy. Plus. Mr. Sean has also helped me a lot along the way...... Let's be honest. If it weren't for Mr. Sean's presence, I'm afraid Neither Pyrus nor I would have survived, after all, we were both targeted by Locke. ”

"What do you mean......" Sylarn's pupils shrank slightly, "Sean repelled Locke?" ”

"Yes." Iger nodded, "It was the head-on repulsion of Locke that forced Locke to choose to retreat." And judging from the situation at the time, Locke seems to be very scruple about Mr. Sean, as for the specific reason...... I didn't know, after all, it wasn't me who was fighting Locke at the time. ”

In the conference room, it was suddenly chaotic like a fryer.

Everyone looked at Sean in disbelief, and the noisy discussion did not shy away from the presence of Sean, one of the parties. By and large, these people couldn't believe that Sean was able to defeat Locke, and that it was in a head-on fight. After all, Locke's fame is nothing short of a legend for them, a symbol and pride of their spirit.

But now, there is a person who says in front of them that the spiritual symbol they worship has been defeated by a terrestrial person they despise, how can the proud people of the Floating Island accept it?

Sean believed that if the person who said this at this time was not Egg, who was one of the top ten members of the Floating Saint Academy, he would probably be called a traitor by them. Maybe he will be thrown into some drudgery like those rebels, and the same accompanying Sean will definitely be imprisoned or challenged by them.

It's just that now, all the things that Sean guessed have not appeared.

The people of the Floating Islands do have their own pride.

Their pride comes from the pride of their soul, blood, and race. This pride is the fundamental reason why the people of the Floating Island have been able to stand for so many years without degradation or decline. They may be arrogant, but that doesn't mean they can't accept other people's opinions, or that they will be empty-sighted.

Perhaps Egger's credibility was guaranteed, so when he said these words, even though the pride they had once believed in was shattered, they did not clamor for a duel with Sean or other reckless acts. Especially when Xilaan raised his hands and slowly pressed down, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided, and they looked at Sean's gaze, which was no longer as vigilant and distrustful as before, but only a kind of respect for the strong.

To be honest, Sean couldn't understand the thinking of the people of the Floating Islands at all.

Because they are so different from the habits of the earth.

As Shaun, who is accustomed to the game's "red name is weird, just do it directly", "PK if you don't accept it", and the kind of "superficial alliance, secretly stumbling each other" or simply just a little bit of empty eyes, he feels that these floating island people are like saints. Of course, a madman like Pyrrhus and a shrewd guy like Schillar are an exception - but it also proves that there is never a shortage of wonders in the world.

"Please forgive us for our faux pas." Syllain crossed his hands and pressed lightly to his chest, then bowed slightly.

It is a very old ritual of worship, which is said to have been a ritual used by the gods to bow to the gods in the Dawn Age - of course, it is much more complicated, and the ritual that has been preserved on the Floating Island has been simplified countless times. The aristocratic rites on the earthly realm are the product of this kind of godly rites, and their simple procedures are simpler than those practiced by the people of the Floating Island, but they are slightly superior in the elegant manners.

As Sylarne saluted, the other Floating Islanders in the conference room also stood up in unison, and then saluted Sean. Even Egg, who was standing next to Sean, also did not hesitate to salute Sean at this time.

Sean didn't know how to return the gift, in line with the principle of doing more and making more mistakes, Sean didn't say anything, but accepted it as a matter of course. However, invisibly, this move also alludes to the behavior benchmark of the powerhouse of the floating island - of course, if it is in the earth realm, then there will definitely be many people who secretly slander Sean's attitude, but on the floating island, everything seems very normal.

The only one who can say that he is dissatisfied is probably only Sylarn.

But at this time, Sean not only showed the pride and attitude of the strong, but also had Egger testifying, no matter which aspect he considered, Siran naturally would not take advantage of this topic again. As a shrewd figure, Schillar will only defeat his opponents in his own field, but will never venture into the field he is not good at to provoke - if it weren't for the fact that the halo on his body has changed from orange to light red, Sean would have been deceived by his sincere expression.

Looking at Xila's watch, Sean couldn't help but think of Sean back then. Hasting.

It's just that when it comes to acting, the guy who was dubbed a traitor to the Hastings family is even better. (To be continued......)
