Chapter 123: The Battle of the Tiger and the Wolf
"Young master, it's better for me to rest for a while. You see, it's already night. ”
A man in his thirties with a fair face said. He wore a tight-fitting leather trench coat, and the hem and cuffs of the trench coat were decorated with a circle of thorns. On the chest of the trench coat, a cross is suspended in flames. the Ankh of Flame, the emblem of the captain of the Guardian in the Grant family; If you add an extra sword to the lower left corner of the cross, it is the deputy commander; As for the Grand Commander, the sword and axe are interlaced underneath the ankh to distinguish them.
Langdon, 32. He is at the peak of his life, and the level 20 Awakened Person, who is known as the most outstanding swordsman among the captains of the guard, has a bright future in the Grant family. With his talent, with another seven or eight years of kung fu, he can be promoted to deputy commander, or even grand commander.
Today, though, he's still a captain of the guard. Otherwise, Diego wouldn't be able to command him, even though there was an element in it that promised to provide Langdon with a ten-gear fencing board. There is a clear hierarchy among the nobles, taking the Grant family as an example, ordinary children can rest and transfer captain-level figures. The deputy commander will only obey the orders of the family dignitaries, and the grand commander will only be responsible to the patriarch.
Status, strength, and authority constitute such a hierarchical society.
"Captain Langdon, I know that according to the process, we should choose a place to camp now. But now the fat man has found the traces of that damn guy, that Ellen, he humiliated me, which is equivalent to humiliating the entire Grant family! Diego gritted his teeth and said, "So what we have to do now is not to rest, but to find Eren as much as possible." If I don't break him to pieces, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”
Langdon was helpless, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master." As long as that Eren dares to show up, I will do what you want. ”
Diego sneered, "Remember, the best part has to be done by me." ”
"It's nature." Langdon bowed slightly.
"Young Master, ...... over here" The voice of a fat man came from the forest ten meters away, Diego stretched out his hand, several guards and cockscomb heads walked first, Diego walked behind them, and Langdon was at the end of the line.
The captain of the guard looked at Diego in front of him and shook his head slightly. He didn't know what the little guy named Alan had done, Diego did not have a good reputation in the family. He is bitter and mean, and his voice is weird, and he will repay him. If measured by the heir of a family, Diego is really not qualified. However, he showed a rare talent in the Rubik's Cube sequence, and was favored by the sequence master Lawrins, so the Grant family readjusted the allocation of resources to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to mobilize a captain of the guard like Langdon.
In the Grant family, Diego is also an outlier. However, it is rare to hate someone like this, and it is conceivable that the boy named Alan must have severely damaged Diego's self-esteem. Maybe outsiders don't know, but within the family, captains like Langdon know that Diego is actually a person with a lot of self-esteem.
At the same time, he is also sensitive. The reason why he has such a heart is probably related to his mother, who is not from a noble background. Diego's mother, before marrying into a wealthy family, was just a drunken dancer in the twilight. If it weren't for Diego's father's renegotiation, the Grant family would not have accepted such a woman into the family. Even so, Diego's childhood was still spent under the strange gaze of others.
If it weren't for Diego being favored by Lawrins, and showing Xiàn out of the talent of the Rubik's Cube sequence. Then his best outcome is to be sent to the battlefield in the outer realm, and it is completely unknown whether he can return.
Now it's a different story.
The Grant family has included him in the sequence of family heirs, and of course, considering his origin and temperament, Diego must not have a relationship with the patriarch. However, it is not difficult to enter the family elders' council, and the family's inheritance in the area of magic energy and armament, if there is no accident, will eventually be handed over to Diego to be responsible.
This is a future family dignitary, and it is necessary for Langdon to have a good relationship with Diego no matter what aspect he considers, especially when this young master takes the initiative to show favor to him. What's more, exchanging the life of a little ghost for a ten-gear fencing, no matter how you calculate it, Langdon feels that he is not losing money.
As for the origin of that little ghost, I don't think Bescord will make a big deal about a side branch.
Langdon has no psychological burden at all, and only hopes that he can find Alan before the end of the autumn hunt. Otherwise, this good thing that fell from the sky will be in vain.
It was late at night, but some of the animals in the forest had not fallen asleep. Like the old pine, they are one of the nocturnal creatures. Ground rats sleep in old dens located in tree hollows or under soft soil during the day, and come out of their nests at night. They feed on nuts and forage at night to avoid most dangerous species.
But apparently, a pachyscale python hanging upside down from a pine branch is an exception. The pythons that inhabit the whispering forests have thick scales, and ordinary swords slash across them, leaving only a white mark. The python is the natural enemy of the earth rat, and it is silently lowering its body from under the tree, and slowly opening its bloody mouth, and is about to swallow the earth rats that are busy eating nuts under the tree, when two figures suddenly shoot out from a cloud of grass ten steps away.
The earth rats were startled and ran away, keeping the python busy for a while. So this third-order dangerous species looked at the two uninvited guests with resentment, and the two figures were entangled like the wind. In the dim darkness of the night, the flickering sword light and the light of the bright red source power complemented each other. In the midst of the entanglement, the clanging sound of collision was non-stop.
Suddenly, a flash of fire lit up in the python's eyes. The flame light pulls out a graceful arc, like a moon ring. It's just that this moon wheel is made of fierce flames. The hot moon exploded, and the flames rose into the sky, like a heavenly fire. Frightened, the python hurriedly shrank back and hid under the canopy of the old pine.
The explosion spread to the ground seven or eight meters around, and the flames ignited some fallen leaves and dead branches. In the firelight, Alan gently licked the deep wound on his right hand, which had been torn open by the claws of the bloody hand. But if Alan hadn't fought for his life and slashed at the bloody hand and neck, then this wound would not have fallen on his hand, but on his heart.
Bloody Hand also frowned at Allen, the boy was more difficult than he had imagined. He used his blood tracking ability to find Eren before, but he was discovered in advance by this alert teenager, so the two chased and fought in the woods. During this period, Allen was extremely resilient, and even under the almost overwhelming strength of the bloody hand, he still escaped repeatedly. And in the process of fighting, he showed even more ruthlessness that was unusually human.
That kind of ruthlessness from the bone marrow makes Alan not only ruthless, but also ruthless to himself. Under the onslaught of the bloody hands, he used the strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries and fighting for his life several times. As long as it's not a lethal attack, he'll fight back even if he's beaten. It's like a wolf that tears off a piece of meat from its prey whenever it has the chance.
The bloody hand is a killer, and the ultimate goal of the killer is to kill the target, but if he has to pay a serious injury in order to kill the target, or even sacrifice his own life, the bloody hand will not be willing to do this. So there were several times when he could have taken Alan's life, but he could only miss it in the case of taking care of himself. It's not a big deal to pay for a slight injury, but if it's a serious injury, the bloody hand has to think about the consequences.
Especially if you have been in trouble with another company recently, if you let your opponent hear the news that you are injured, you are afraid that you will not immediately attack your company and territory?
The bloody hand has his own scruples, and Eren is not like that.
His source power and physical strength were nearly exhausted, and if it weren't for his ruthless and decisive fighting style, I am afraid he would not have lasted so long. Alan tried not to think about how long he could hold out, as long as he didn't fall, he had to fight for his life to the end.
"You've been able to make it this far, you've been amazing. Honestly, I admire you, boy. If not, we'll stop tonight and wait for tomorrow when the sun rises. It's rare for me to be so generous, so you see, you shouldn't refuse this suggestion, right? Bloody hands said, trying to look sincere.
Of course, he is not such a "generous" person, but intends to use words to slack Allen's fighting spirit, so as to completely defeat him in one fell swoop.
Alan looked at the bloody hand steadily, he had experienced so many life-and-death battles, how could he be deceived by the bloody hand in a few words. What's more, the bloody hand said the truce, but his eyes kept scanning the important parts of Allen's body, obviously looking for an opportunity to attack. He smiled freely, leaving Bloody Hand with a bright smile, but he turned around and ran away, so angry that Bloody Hand screamed and continued the next round of chase.
As soon as he passed through a few old pines, Allen suddenly felt a pang in his heart and stopped categorically. A cold light suddenly passed through his nose, and with astonishing strength, a spear easily plunged into the rough old pine tree, and the end trembled alone.
Alan turned his head to see a pinch of fiery red, cockscomb-like hair gently shaking in the night wind. Grant's family guard, Rude, grinned, "Found you, damn boy, we can't sleep until now, we have to pay for it with your life!" ”
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back! The shape shì couldn't be worse for Allen, and the sound of breaking through the air was already sounding behind him, and the bloody hand was already chasing closer. Behind the cockscomb, the lights flickered, and it was obvious that Diego and his men were also chasing after him. Allen's heart suddenly moved, and he threw himself in the direction of the light.
The bloody hand swept in and chased after Allen. Suddenly I saw the lights flashing in front of me, and there was a strange man with a cockscomb-like hairstyle, and he was on the move. At this time, Diego had already heard the news and rushed to the scene, and when he saw the figure rushing from his own side in the Qing Dynasty, he shouted with joy in his heart: "Alan, I finally found you!" ”
"Diego!" Alan shouted, and then whispered, "Look who's behind me!" ”
Diego looked behind Allen and saw the bloody hand through the light of the guard's flashlight. He suddenly remembered that Alan had said that he was going to find a helper to trouble him. Diego was not surprised, Alan could be regarded as hitting the iron plate this time, and he immediately shouted: "Captain Langdon! ”
Langdon had already noticed the bloody hand, and the aura of source power exuded from his body was much thicker than that of Allen. Let Diego drink it now, without hesitation. At that moment, the sword on the waist is unsheathed, and the person is like sliding on the ice. In an instant, he swept past Allen, and stabbed his sword towards the bloody hand.
At the end of the sword, the cold light of the source force had already been towards the bloody hand cover. Eren has his own other guards to greet him, and Langdon is bent on taking down the strongest of the opponent!
