Raise Your Sword Chapter 2: Friendship
The scene seemed to be quiet for a while, and Merlin was stunned. He couldn't help looking at his friends beside him, only to see that his gaze was dull and he still couldn't believe it.
Slowly, the surrounding people gradually dispersed, leaving the two of them empty, as if a boundary was drawn from the surroundings, and everyone stood far away.
Time seems to be passing slowly, Merlin saw Kate standing in the middle and slowly clenching his fist, he seemed to recover. Kate’s shoulders were shaking, and Merlin heard him muttering to herself: "No, this must be a mistake... I will never believe it! Show me... Show me Look, hurry up!" Kate spoke faster and faster, and at the end he called out.
Suddenly, Merlin was pushed aside, Kate rushed to the center of the bonfire, grabbed the wood block in the hands of Elder Xiuyi in everyone’s eyes, and then suddenly let out a miserable cry:
"No, this must be a mistake! A mistake!" Kate threw the block into the distance fiercely. Then he kicked the wooden barrel under his feet and shouted: "Some of you must be lying to me, stand up and tell me who it is! How could I be drawn to me? I don't believe it!" His eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he rolled frantically on the snow. Picking up wooden blocks.
The wind and snow hummed and blew among the standing crowd. Merlin looked at the figure crying in the snow from a distance. He clenched his fist and could only slowly lower his eyes. The surroundings were quiet and there was no sound. Some children were put their faces in their arms by their mothers, and the dusk became deeper and deeper.
"···Sorry, kid." The old man Xiuyi sighed and said, "Tie him up!" After speaking, he turned and left, and several hunters who had been prepared by the side suddenly rushed forward, taking advantage of it. Kate rushed up while digging through the blocks, and stopped his arm in one fell swoop.
"Damn, let me go!" Kate began to struggle frantically. He suddenly turned his head and bit on the hand of the tall hunter next to him. The opponent howled in pain and couldn't help letting go. Then Kate kicked another hunter in the stomach, and backhanded the hunter who hugged him from behind. Got out.
"Don't come here!" Kate drew the knife from behind, eyes bloodshot at everyone who was slowly approaching: "Don't come!" Then he suddenly turned and ran to the side, and everyone in the square followed The direction of his impact could not help but disperse, but more hunters pulled out their hunting knives and surrounded them.
As Kate escaped, the circle of people in the square was broken. Some women and children scattered around. The noise of snow stepping and the metal sound of swords hit one after another, and the noise was like water ripples. The crowd spread.
"Kate, put down your weapons, this is destiny!" one of the hunters shouted.
"Shit! Coward, in order to keep myself alive, I have to go to death, isn't that the case, why am I, why?!" Kate raised the knife in his hand and pointed at the people around him and said, "It's fair now , Whoever dares to ask me to die will die first!" He waved the knife in his hand from time to time and looked at everyone threateningly.
"Then let's compete, kid." said Khufu, a recent hunter, one of the strongest hunters in town.
waved everyone away, Khufu held up a knife and carefully looked at Kate. The two walked around in a circle. At this moment, Kate walked around to the side near the bonfire, and Khufu who was in the dark suddenly seized the opportunity and jumped over. , Yelled: "Drink"
The sound of the blade's impact was clearly heard in the snow. Khufu slid along Kate’s blade to his wrist along with the knife. Kate slammed the other side to the side, and then kicked him out, but after all his experience was not as hot as Khufu, Khufu turned away and moved away from the waist. As soon as he twisted, his shoulder slammed into Kate.
This shoulder collision directly knocked Kate a few yards away. Falling to the ground for a long time can not get up.
"Listen, this is fair to everyone." Khufu twisted the knife, held his backhand and put down his arm and said in a cold voice: "If you disagree, don't stand here before. , Didn’t you have the chance to leave? Didn’t you go outside the mountain? Has anyone stopped you?"
"Don't resist, don't force me to chop off your hand!"
Without any nonsense, Kate turned over and jumped up, holding the blade high, and slashing at Khufu, his power actually suppressed Khufu temporarily in the rage.
"If I leave, everything in the town will no longer belong to me! Isn't that what you think? Whether it's my house or everything else, right, this is the rule! Shit rule!"
The blade continued to make piercing impacts with the chopping. Khufu suddenly tilted the tip of the knife. Kate followed Khufu's blade and cut aside. Khufu seized the gap and slammed into Kate's body. Knee hit Kate's abdomen, and then slammed back the knife to cut Kate, Kate barely retracted the knife to support it in severe pain.
"Don't blame me!" The words fell, Hufu's explosive force knocked Kate's unstable blade, turned around, and then slashed Kate's wrist in the horrified eyes of everyone!
"Dang!" At this critical moment, a bow stood in front of the blade.
"Wait!" Merlin said eagerly, standing in front of Kate crouching to stop the final blow.
"Whh--" Kate's knife flew out and plunged into the snow.
"Merlin, you have finally come forward, Merlin, you want to help me, you are my best friend!" Kate sat down on the snow with tears, the campfire shining his sad look by his side, one day His world was not like this before, but now he is facing death.
"I don't know what to do." After Merlin finished speaking, he glanced at everyone around him. Those eyes were staring here one by one, as if with a powerful force dividing everything in the center of the square and everything around it into two. In the camp, he finally retracted his bow.
"No, you are the smartest, if you have a way, you must help me! I beg you for the last time!" Kate cried, but at this moment his eyes suddenly widened, as if thinking of something , Said: "No, I know, this choice is unfair."
Kate suddenly got up and ran towards the old man Xiuyi, shouting: "This is unfair!" Someone next to him wanted to stop, but the old man Xiuyi shook his head and walked back.
He suddenly stopped and looked back at Merlin, and said eagerly, "Merlin, you will help me, right? I'm your best friend."
"····I will do my best~IndoMTL.com~Merlin took a deep breath while looking at his friend’s eyes.
After hearing Merlin’s reply, Kate seemed to be relieved, and suddenly knelt in front of the old man Xiuyi and several other hunters and said, waving her arms and shouting: "Isn't our choice absolutely fair?" Everyone in the town should write their names on wooden blocks?"
"Yes, I assure you." The old man Xiuyi looked at the people next to him strangely and gave a positive answer.
"No, but as far as I know it's not like that!" Kate turned around and pointed at Merlin, and suddenly said, "Merlin, there is a woman in Merlin's room. That woman didn't write her name!"
"Wow——" All the people present suddenly burst into discussion, and their eyes began to slowly focus on Merlin.
"How did you know!?" Merlin was a little dazed by the blow.
"I went to find you the day before yesterday, and you went to collect firewood, so I saw that there is a woman in the window, a beautiful woman!" Kate seemed to use gestures to show how beautiful that woman is, but she was anxious. As if choking in his mouth, he couldn't say clearly.
"Kate, she is not from our town, she was saved by me on the road, I don’t know who she is!" Seeing the look of people around him getting worse and worse, Merlin quickly interrupted him. There was a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, when Kate heard these words, Kate laughed, spreading out her hands with joy, and said, "That's great. If this is the case, why kill me and just give this outsider to Bekal? We are all in the same town!? Right, Merlin, you said you would help me!"
The campfire crackled, and at this moment Jenny was sitting at home, and suddenly she raised her head and looked out the window with feeling.
