429. Christina's Faith

The smoke and dust that filled the air obscured an area of more than ten meters.

There are a lot of particles in these soots, so visibility is naturally extremely low, not even half a meter. Falling into this area of smoke and dust is no different from entering a dark world where you can't see your fingers. Of course, because this is not a special field of magic, perception is still very useful in this hazy world.

There was a long black shadow, like a fish swimming in the water.

When I looked closely, I realized that this long black shadow was an arm.

The arm that came out with the fist was extremely strong, because there was an air flow moving in the direction of the arm, and a clear area of visibility was emitted.

It's just that where the fist fell, there was also a black shadow blocking it.

This black shadow is much larger than the arm, and the transverse width is also larger, which is obviously not a normal human body part.

When the fist is closer, the effect of the air flow is greater, and it is natural to be able to see that it is a piece of metal intercepted in front of the fist.

Black.

When the hard fist slammed into the metal surface, a strong air flow suddenly erupted from this origin.

Just like the eye of the storm of a tornado, all the smoke and dust poured out frantically along the spiral airflow, scattering all the smoke and dust in the eye of the storm with a radius of two meters, clearly revealing the two sides in the fight and confrontation. With the eruption of strong air currents, the envelope of smoke and dust undoubtedly spread a lot, but it was also significantly thinner, at least not as visible as at the beginning, not even half a meter.

The two people in the hands are no one else. It's Sean and Christina.

Sean blocked Christina's explosive punch with the Black King's sword face, judging by the power of Christina's punch. If it weren't for the Black King's material being good enough, the average high-quality material weapon would probably be interrupted by this punch.

It's obvious. Christina was really angry.

Of course, Sean already knew just by looking at Christina's face.

I saw that Christina's right fist changed slightly, and immediately the fist changed to palm momentum, and then pressed lightly on the sword surface, but like an adsorption force, Christina instantly approached Sean's side, and her left fist hit Sean's right rib at the same time.

Christina was extremely fast, faster than the average class powerhouse who was better at boxing, and Shaun would never have believed her if she hadn't used special means such as magic and arcane. It's just that no matter how fast Christina is. Sean didn't care too much, because speed was originally his strong point, so he chose to withdraw his sword and retreat very lightly, dodging Christina's punch.

However, Christina was unrelenting, and she was a bully, this time even using her right fist.

Her two fists punched one after the other, a bit like a regular boxing fighter's punching stance. But looking at the whistling wind that Christina brings with every punch, you can know if she is hit by her fist. How miserable the end will be.

Even if Sean wants to have a head-to-head confrontation with Christina, he will never choose to fight back in such a situation where Christina has the upper hand.

Patience has always been the last thing Sean lacks.

And after the previous ten minutes of offensive and defensive exchanges, Sean gradually groped out some very mysterious feelings. He felt that this was a great opportunity for him to break through, so he didn't mind being given the upper hand by Christina for a short time. After all, Sean had the upper hand far longer than Kristina from the moment he turned the other cheek with Christina - though Sean knew exactly why this was the case. But he still didn't keep his hand when he shot.

Christina, is concerned and chaotic.

Even Sean didn't know. Why does Christina care so much about herself. It seems that she made a deal with the demon believers, which made her feel very unhappy. At this moment, all the trust and friendship turned into anger and sorrow.

It is precisely because of this that Sean is even more afraid to have reservations - just kidding, his original realm is not as good as Christina, if it weren't for Christina's excessive mental consumption, so he couldn't maintain the realm, Sean would have been beaten by Christina as a punching bag. But at this moment, even if Christina can't maintain the field battle, her strength in all aspects is still stronger than Sean, and if it weren't for the frequent mistakes caused by the loss of anger and reason, Sean is not sure how long he can hold out.

But now anyway, Sean is really fighting with all his might.

The shape of the Black King is the shape of the imitation knight's sword, that is, the kind of knight's sword that fights immediately, which is more suitable for chopping, chopping, and chopping, and the weight of the sword body is mostly concentrated in the position of the tip of the sword at the front end. However, Sean almost never fights right away, so he also increased the amount on the hilt, and the blade of the sword was thickened and weighted, which is why the Black King was able to block Christina's punch without breaking.

The Black King in Sean's hand raised slightly, and the blade of the sword turned into a black shadow, but it was extremely perfect to cut into the only flaw revealed in Christina's punch attack - because it was too close, Sean's retreat was rhythmless and sometimes big and small, and even with Christina's punch became rhythmless, the situation that originally had the upper hand was brought into Sean's rhythm in this involuntary situation, so that after a right fist shot, the left fist could not be connected.

Sean's attack was mixed with this mismatch - the Black King's blade was accurately aimed at Christina's left fist, forcibly disrupting her rhythm, and then the long sword was raised, and the tip of the sword pierced into Christina's left shoulder blade. The next moment, Sean hit Christina with a backer, because he didn't leave his hand to hit with all his strength, and the powerful attack immediately knocked Christina back more than ten steps.

However, Christina is also hard, and the muscles of her left shoulder blade are clamped, and she is actually forced to retreat at the same time. It also brought Sean to step forward to keep up.

So when Kristina stabilized her figure, Kristina's right fist was once again pumped towards Sean's left cheek.

Sean had seen Christina's punch after going crazy before. Naturally, I don't want to be so short. But if he dodged, he would have to give up the Black King in his hands. Because Christina's left hand had already grasped the Black King's sword - Sean didn't understand what kind of skill Christina was exerting, holding down such a sharp Black King with her bare hands without any cuts, and even daring to block the Black King's blade with her fist.

In desperation, Sean could only let go of his short hand and dodge Christina's punch.

But I don't want to, Christina is also a veteran with rich combat experience, and when she sees Sean letting go of her sword and abandoning her sword, she won't take the opportunity to attack. Immediately exert force with your left hand. After pulling out the Black King, he threw the long sword with a flick and didn't know where to throw it, and at the same time stuck to Sean at a very fast speed, knocking Sean out directly with a more solid backing collision.

Forcibly knocked into the air by Christina, Sean, who flew out upside down, quickly adjusted his body shape in mid-air, and after a twist, the whole body became sideways, and his right hand sank to the ground and pressed, and the strength brought by Christina was immediately transmitted to the ground, shaking a huge mark. The ground around it caved more than an inch. And Sean also took this opportunity to turn his body, his center of gravity quickly sank, and the whole person immediately fell to the ground, once again turning all the impact into scattered force and shaking it into the ground. Larger spider web cracks form.

But by this time, Christina had already rushed over again.

In terms of fist and foot martial arts alone, ten Sean plus together are not Christina's opponents.

That's not to say that Christina is more than ten times stronger than Sean. But after coming to this world, all of Sean's thoughts were on sword skills. Even his profession follows swordsmanship. And one's energy is limited, if Sean is not willing to spend a lot of proficiency points to fill his own skill list. He is actually not much different from the geniuses of this world, so it will be difficult for Sean to compete with Christina without weapons.

This is exactly what Christina wants.

However, it was not the result that Sean wanted.

Facing Christina, who was attacking like a storm, Sean roared in a deep voice and did not hesitate to show his momentum.

As the prototype of the realm, Sean's current potential will no longer pose any threat to his life after he obtains the silver body, simply put, the current potential has a similar consumption effect as the domain - as long as Sean can withstand the consumption, then he can maintain the range force field of the potential forever.

Christina was hit by Sean's momentum in the front, and the speed of the whole person was immediately affected, and the speed of her movements slowed down significantly in all aspects.

This unexpected state of affairs made Christina visibly slightly distracted.

However, this loss of consciousness was only for a moment, and in less than a second, Christina had fully recovered. Although she can't expand the realm now, but for Christina, a momentum is not enough to restrict her actions - after all, the momentum is only a suppression of momentum, although she has touched the boundary line of the law, but this is not a law after all, it may be okay to deal with the strong people below the holy domain, but using the momentum to deal with the strong people in the holy domain can obviously only play a momentary role.

I saw that Christina's momentum surged suddenly, and the fighting spirit instantly burst out from her body, and immediately broke the suppression of Sean's "momentum".

Sean didn't expect Christina's reaction to be so fast.

After suppressing Christina with his momentum, Sean had already jumped and flew towards the place where the Black King had fallen. After not wanting to be broken by Christina, Sean suddenly felt a tingling pain in his head, and his body froze involuntarily, and then his ankle was grabbed by Christina's hand, and then Christina spun like a spinning top, and after two turns, Sean was thrown out.

It's just that Christina is not stupid, and the direction in which Sean is thrown is naturally far away from the drop point of the Black King - Christina has discovered that Sean who holds the Black King and Sean who does not take the Black King are two people at all. In this case, he naturally wanted to let Sean get as far away from the Black King as possible, after all, Sean was much easier to deal with without weapons.

was thrown out by Christina, and Sean could only quickly adjust his body in mid-air, but the tingling sensation from his head still made Sean feel a little uncomfortable.

But this time. Christina didn't press hard again, but watched Sean quickly adjust his body in mid-air. There was even a stumble when he landed.

At that time, Christina also experienced such a slow period of growth - first the maintenance of the field, and then the suppression of the momentum. Then came the rudiments of the field, and finally formed its own field. So for Christina, she knows very well what Sean's situation will be after being forcefully cracked by herself with the power of the law, and the severe pain is not much better than being blown out of the realm.

The only difference is that the pain level is slightly lighter.

Of course, there is actually a benefit to this.

It's just that Christina doesn't plan to say it, and as for whether Sean can grasp it, that's his own business.

Genius has the pride of genius.

"You've disappointed me." Christina said in a deep voice. She just stared at Sean expressionlessly, the only thing that shone was Christina's eyes, it was a kind of disappointment, a deep, deep disappointment, "Why? ”

Sean covered his forehead, glanced at Christina, and smiled, "Why?" …… Because I am a lord, a grand duke, I am responsible for my followers. It's like Diane said. This world is not only black and white, but also has a lot of gray. As businessmen often say, where there is demand, there is competition. Not all demons are evil, there will always be one or two good people. ”

"Huh." Christina laughed. There was some contempt in his voice.

"Don't believe me." Sean shrugged, "I'll just say two things you don't know." ”

Christina raised an eyebrow and made a deaf look. But the look on his face was still one of contempt.

In fact, in the earliest days. There is no distinction between executive and arbitrator in the Peace Council, and they basically have to intervene in everything. Nature. Because of this, many people were offended - no empire was willing to tolerate the existence of such a special force as the Peace Council, so the Seven Empires and other forces that did not like the Peace Council joined forces.

That alliance caused the Peace Assembly to lose two-thirds of its elite, and directly damaged its vitality. In addition to the Seven Empires, Deaththorn and several other powerful organizations that are no less powerful than Deaththorn are the source of the enmity between the Peace Council and Deaththorn. Of course, according to the character and ideas of the Peace Council, they naturally hold a grudge against the Seven Empires and other major forces, but it's a pity that the five old empires of the Cinnas Empire, the St. Joels Empire, the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Emilia Empire, and the Maggie Empire are too strong, and the Peace Council really can't do anything about them.

However, just because five of the seven empires couldn't do anything about them didn't mean that the other two empires couldn't do anything about them, so by a series of coincidences, the Peace Council easily destroyed the two empires - one of them slaughtered everyone including the royal family. Of course, the Peace Council also has a perfect excuse, that is, the empire has been corrupted to the roots, and the people have been living in misery - this is the most sensational of all the things that the Peace Council has done, because the corruption of an empire has completely wiped out the empire.

But it was also after this incident that the five old empires explicitly forbade the interference of the Peace Council - since that encounter with the cooperation of many forces across the continent, the Peace Council has indeed kept a low profile for a long time, and the position of arbitrator has also appeared. What the five old empires refused was arbitration by arbitrators, and even in non-essential and exceptional circumstances, they refused to allow the arbitrators of the Peace Council to arbitrate their subjects.

It can be said that the introduction of arbitrators is an innovation in the Peace Council's quest for breakthroughs and changes.

It's a pity that this plan ended in failure.

Because not everyone can accept the pure idea of the peace council in black and white.

After decades of deliberation, the Peace Council has made another astonishing move: adopt orphans and carry out brainwashing training.

After a brief period of failure, this method soon ushered in an extremely surprising explosive harvest period.

Because of the purity of faith, because of the simplicity of thought, because of the single-mindedness of quality, there are many more powerful cadres in the council -- these people's minds are not complicated, so they are easy to control. This allows you to perform tasks and train better. These puppet-like executors soon restored a certain amount of vitality and strength to the devastated Peace Council. In turn, it also made them more determined to cultivate orphans brainwashing.

It can be said that the executive officers of the Peace Assembly have only two origins: they are either orphans. Either the descendants of the martyrs.

Because only they can accept the idea of peace parliament in its purest form.

Christina is an orphan.

Growing up, she was exposed to everything she wanted the Peace Council to see, so her world was very pure and simple: either white or black, there was no so-called gray area. All that cannot be classified as white is black, and black is evil, and evil is to be erased.

This is what Christina has learned for more than 20 years.

Now, Sean sue sΓΉ Christina in this world actually has a third color. How can Christina believe it? In other words, she didn't go berserk on the spot, but patiently put on a deferential appearance, which is already very important to Sean's appearance.

"Elken, have you heard of it?" Sean spoke.

"Lord of Arrogance, one of the Seven Demon Kings." Christina replied, in a very indifferent tone.

"She's dead." Sean added, "It was killed by the demon king that Diane believed in." ”

When Christina heard of Elken's death, her face was stunned and surprised. However, after hearing Sean say the second half of the sentence, a look of contempt appeared on his face again, and he said: "Everyone knows the chaos between demons, and what is so strange about dog-eat-dog between them." Who knows what the conflict of interests is. ”

"Huh." Sean laughed too, his voice becoming a little brisk, "Elken wants to invade this world. She even opened the Demon Gate directly, and even the Demon Legion was already ready on the other side of the Abyss. They will only be able to invade when the Demon Gate is officially opened. …… However, this qiΔ“ was stopped by Nkos. I admit that demons are inherently chaotic creatures. But why would a demon you keep saying you had to destroy stop another demon from invading? ”

Christina opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

Instinctively told her that there was something wrong with what Sean said, but what was wrong, Christina really couldn't think of it.

People who believe in purity have one advantage, and that is simplicity of thought.

A simple-minded person, for Sean, is a good fool.

He said that it was true that Nkos had stopped Elken's invasion, but it was even more true that it was because Andrew was in this world and asleep in his own body. As long as Elken invades this world, the first thing he will definitely do is to kill him, in essence, Elken is on the opposite side of Enkos, so Enkos will kill Elken, which is the same as the "conflict of interests" mentioned by Christina.

Of course, because of the asymmetry of information, Christina did not know this.

"How do you know that the Demon Lord stopped Elken's invasion?" Christina's tone was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Because I was there." Sean replied, "You should know that I've given you a lot of information for the Peace Council, right? …… In fact, I have the ability to foresee, but this ability is not controlled by me, but occasionally flashes through my mind and makes me feel like a dream. So it's hard for me to tell which ones are dreams and what fate wants me to know, and until I get a clear answer, everything is fake for me. ”

Speaking of this, Sean paused slightly, and said in a more sincere tone: "The things I have told you have been confirmed to be true after my careful investigation, and I dare to speak." That's why the information I've given you is accurate. ”

"Didn't you say that the Demon Gate is on the side of the Northern Continent, it's the Medusa Chamber of Commerce......"

"Yes." Sean nodded, "Even I don't know, there were originally two Demon Gates. …… Because you have come to the Northern Continent, there is another demon gate, and I can only investigate the truth by myself. Unexpectedly, the door of the demon was already open, and there were even many little demons mixed in. Do you think that with the strength of your Peace Council, you can open two Demon Gate battlefields at the same time? ”

Christina was silent.

In fact, the Peace Assembly is indeed possible.

Not to mention two, even three is fine. But here's the problem. As a result, the Peace Assembly would also be extremely weak. If it is targeted by death thorns at this time, then the loss of the Peace Council will be very heavy. It is even possible to fall into a state of great vitality again. This is the real reason why the Peace Assembly has become more and more low-key over the years, because it is not as it was when it was first established.

"By some coincidence, Nkos helped me." Sean retained the truth of something before continuing, "If it weren't for him, I would have died at Elken's hands long ago. …… So, I owe Nkos a favor. Don't tell me that to make a deal with a demon is to become a heretic, I just know. I should do unto others as they would have treated me. ”

Christina remained silent.

"Is there a conflict of interest between Nkos and Erken? I don't know, and I don't want to know. Sean said softly, his tone a little unassuming, "I only know that the Southern Continent did not fall into the chaos of the demon invasion because Enkos killed Elken. …… Don't you think it's ironic that our world was saved by a great demon king? I acknowledge the efforts and dedication of your Peace Assembly. But I think you should also understand that many of the practices of the Peace Council are problematic. ”

"Excuses." Christina sneered.

"Excuses?" Sean wasn't annoyed, but smiled, "That's good." Let's talk about another thing. …… Do you know why the Peace Council and Deaththorn are rivals? ”

"That's because there's a lot of dark creatures in Deaththorn."

"That's half right." Sean shook his head slightly, "The other half, it's because Deaththorn once teamed up with the Seven Great Empires to trap your Peace Council." ”

Speaking of which. Sean directly told Christina the story of the earliest days of the Peace Council. These include the alliance of the Seven Empires, and the later "retaliatory action" of the Peace Council. Of course, there is also Sean's unique brainwashing sophistry: such as the cultivation of orphans, the brainwashing cultivation of the Peace Council, and the fact that the arbitrator has never been able to enter the inner circle of the Peace Council, etc.

Christina didn't show any special look on her face at first, but as Sean spoke, the more she spoke. Christina's face became more silent.

Both Sean and Christina are very smart people.

And smart people have an advantage, that is, some words do not need to be said too much and clearly, as long as the appropriate start is enough. Just looking at Christina's expression, Sean knew that he had successfully shaken Kristina's faith - this qiΔ“ was what Sean needed to do.

It's not about reversing Christina's mind.

Rather, it is shaken.

In fact, Sean is not sure that he will succeed, because people with pure faith have one problem: that is, stubbornness.

They will automatically filter out all heretical statements about their beliefs and only listen to the good side. Sean is obviously experienced with this, so he does not add too many personal emotions when he narrates the events of the Peace Council, but describes them in the tone of a third-party observer, and of course the most important point is the massacre of the Peace Council - Sean believes that this is a stain on the Peace Council, so they must not publicize it internally.

It's just that they don't publicize it, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Many forces and organizations on the mainland have records of this massacre, but very few people know that this matter was done by the Peace Council. Deaththorn happens to be one of these few people, and that's why Deaththorn calls the people of the Peace Council hypocrites.

But these real villains like Deaththorn don't have anything to praise for.

"Sophistry." Christina said coldly.

"Sophistry?" Sean tilted his head, then smiled, "Just think I'm a sophistry." …… But there are some things that you don't want to deny, and they don't exist. In fact, your Peace Council has done many things that are contrary to your purpose, and the Great Demon King whom you think is most hated and must be slain has succeeded in saving the world, even ...... Diane's first mission as a follower of the Demon King was to hunt down the Demon God Edward. ”

After a moment of silence, Sean said for the second time: "This world is not only black and white. ”

"You've given me information three times." Christina was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke, "Essentially, I only helped you get paid twice. …… This time, it's the third time. The deal between the Peace Council and you is cleared. And this is the end of our friendship. I admit that the world is not only black and white, but I can only accept black and white. ”

Sean also fell silent.

He just looked at Christina quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, Sean sighed slightly: "To be honest, I think it's easy to be friends with you, and I also hope to be friends with you all the time." …… But unfortunately, we can't unify our thoughts, you can only accept black and white, but for me, the world has many colors. ”

"I know." Christina nodded, she turned her head to look high into the sky, where Enkos and Edward were on the battlefield, "This time, I believe in your story. ”

Tale?

Sean frowned slightly.

Because Sean is also a smart person, he has already guessed Christina's intentions, but he is not going to ask.

"Your realm has taken shape, feel the pain of being suppressed by me just now." Christina turned her head and glanced back at Sean before she said, "You used to be my friend. But the one I know, Sean. Connery is dead. …… The next time we meet, we may have a different identity due to different positions, and I hope you can be prepared. ”

Sean just smiled and stopped talking.

Christina, on the other hand, only glanced at Sean again, and then turned to leave.

Aderoan, she is no longer needed on this battlefield.

Or rather, the battle of fate that had to be brought in was over. (To be continued......)

ps: Da Zhang, I originally wanted to update it with 3,000 words last night, but my wrists and elbows hurt, and the plot is not very complete, it's just a fight scene, so I didn't change it. After I came back from the hospital this morning, I also wrote today's update by the way and merged it into one chapter, so that this storyline will be more complete and not become a little headless and brainless.
