Erwin was undoubtedly full of regrets and remorse for not having accomplished anything last night and spending the night quietly like this. He regretted very much that he had left such a good girl next to him without doing anything. He moved his feet and pushed it down in one fell swoop. Instead, he wasted his brain cells thinking about some messy and unnecessary things. At this point, he even wanted to die. I originally thought that since I couldn't do it, I would get up early and feast my eyes on Susan, who was only wearing a thin shirt and underwear. But who knew that when Erwin opened his eyes on the bed and woke up from his sleep, Susan had already finished dressing and was wearing it. After washing, her graceful body was completely covered by thick clothes. Therefore, Erwin was not in a good mood early in the morning. And what made Erwin feel even worse was yet to come. When the two of them had finished a simple breakfast in the hotel and were about to leave this small town, they were blocked by a group of people at the entrance of the hotel. This group of people obviously looked like mercenaries. There were about twenty people. Everyone was fully armed, with all weapons and armors. They gathered at the door of the hotel with great momentum, scaring the somewhat wretched hotel owner. Only half a head popped out of the counter. This group of mercenaries was obviously targeting Erwin and Susan. After they saw the two of them walking out of the hotel, they became confused for a moment and then calmed down. Their eyes fell firmly on the two of them. Some of them had already Subconsciously, he reached out to touch the weapon on his body, looking like he was coming from a bad place. Seeing this scene, Erwin immediately thought of the hunters he threw out of the hotel last night. He didn't expect that the hunters would have the confidence to entangle a group of mercenaries to come for revenge. However, Erwin looked around and did not find the group of hunters, although he could not remember the appearance of the group of people now. The leader of this group of mercenaries turned out to be a pretty woman in her thirties, which was a bit unexpected for Erwin. This woman was standing at the front of all the mercenaries. She had been sizing up Erwin and Susan after they walked out of the hotel, and Erwin didn't want to be outdone. A typical Lorenzo beauty, with long red chestnut hair and an extremely tall figure, at least close to 1.78 meters. She is not even more impressive than Erwin, but she is definitely not thin, but has amazing curves and a pair of charming eyes. Although she has a cold light, she is undoubtedly a very charming woman. It¡¯s hard to imagine that such a charming woman would be related to the same gang of hunters last night, but other than that, Erwin couldn¡¯t think of anything else that got him into trouble. However, Erwin soon realized that he had thought wrong. After the woman looked at the two of them up and down, she waved her hand to the people behind her, telling them not to act rashly, and then walked to Erwin with a pair of ridiculously long legs. In front of Irvine and Susan. Facing such a woman whose height and aura were not inferior to his own, Erwin couldn't help but frown. Susan next to him also had a cold look on her face, and the hand on her side had quietly touched her back. Wing bow. "I am Lidia, the leader of the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group. I need to ask you about something." Lidia said, with a very obvious coldness and condescension in both her tone and demeanor. I don't know if it's natural or intentional, but Erwin can clearly feel the other party's faint hostility. Erwin raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He looked around and then landed on Lidia's face. He looked directly at her with astonishing eyes without flinching: "But you look like you are just here to ask questions." It's so simple. Besides, do I know you?" Erwin's words immediately caused a commotion among the more than twenty mercenaries behind him, as if a group of people were suppressing some anger. Erwin did not even doubt their next moment. He would draw his weapon and charge forward angrily. This made Erwin even more confused. He couldn't help but look at his behavior in the past two months. Except for what happened last night, he should be harmless to humans and animals, and he should not have provoked other people at all? "It's true that we don't know each other, but did you entertain a man wearing gray armor and a black cloak in this tavern last night?" Lydia stared at Erwin with her eyes, as if she wanted to smear him on his face. All subtle expressions are monitored. Erwin was completely stunned, then turned to look at Susan, who was also stunned. Neither of them expected that the woman in front of them was actually targeting Rex. "Yes, that's an acquaintance of mine." Erwin answered truthfully. There is nothing to hide. Putting aside this matter, you only need to ask the owner of the tavern to find out that this group of thorn flower mercenaries By blocking the door so early in the morning, it was obvious that he had already understood everything about last night's situation. And what Erwin is more curious about is, what are these guys looking for Rex for, and thenWhy did he come to me so aggressively? "Do you have any problem with him?" The only thing Erwin can think of is that Rex did something unfriendly to this group of mercenaries during the process of investigating the Final Cult or the murderous maniac, which resulted in People came after me. But Erwin didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the group of mercenaries immediately broke out into a bigger commotion, shouting and cursing, and almost came up. Erwin and Susan suddenly realized from the behavior of this group of people and the various yells and curses that Rex seemed to have caused a lot of trouble. "Where is he now?" Lidia did not answer Erwin's question, but asked with a cold face, but there was excitement in her tone that could not be concealed. Erwin's frown immediately deepened. He didn't want to get involved in disputes that had nothing to do with him, even if one of the parties was an acquaintance like Rex, but the attitude of the group of mercenaries in front of him was really bad and too domineering. If Erwin had to choose, he would definitely choose to side with Rex instead of this group of strangers. "I have no obligation to tell you where he is. If you have any excuses, go find him yourself." Erwin said in an indifferent tone. If the other party's attitude was lower, he wouldn't mind chatting. , he adopts a high-pressure posture from the very beginning. Either he is used to being domineering or his head is kicked by a donkey. "Really? Then you'd better not regret it. Even if I use torture, I will dig the news out of your mouth." Lidia's eyes turned cold, and the more than twenty mercenaries behind her had already drawn their weapons. , just one shout away from taking action. Just when Lidia raised her hand to signal the mercenaries to arrest the two people in front of her, she saw the young man suddenly reaching out and holding the long sword at his waist and drawing it out. Lidia¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She thought that the young man was going to take the lead, so she quickly took a step back and grasped the hilt of the long sword with her other hand. "It's a pity that Erwin didn't intend to take action against this charming royal sister. He just took out the Zantetsu Sword from his waist, and then waved it lightly to a place where no one was standing next to him. The weather today is good. The sun shines on this small town early in the morning. Through the eaves and through the people standing, it reflects a dazzling light on Erwin's fallen iron sword. Hongguang. There seemed to be a transparent, colorless ripple oozing out from the Zantetsu Sword, and rushing forward, plowing a straight and thin sword mark on the stone ground in front of the hotel, cutting everything along the way - in Nearly seven or eight meters away from everyone, there was a carriage parked that had not been used for a long time. The ripples spreading from Erwin's iron sword instantly crossed the distance and passed by the carriage. , this rather small carriage made a clicking sound, and then broke into two smooth halves. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the group of mercenaries who originally drew their weapons and planned to take action looked at this scene in stunned silence. They saw Erwin, who was just a young pretty boy in their eyes, swiping his sword in the air and cutting the carriage a few meters away in half. Then he assumed that the sword was aimed at his body, and in the next moment, many gasps of air suddenly sounded. Lidia, the leader of the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group, also acted stiffly. She had just raised her hand but had not yet waved it down. The other hand was tightly holding the hilt of the sword at her waist, with a gloomy look on her face. Looking at the young man in front of her uncertainly, she didn't know whether she should be glad that she didn't take the next step, or regret that her anger and courage were destroyed by this cold sword. At the same time, there was only one thought left in my mind. "Gate of Rank" Not only this group of blind and arrogant mercenaries, but also Susan was looking at Erwin with surprised eyes at this time. Although she knew that Erwin would He became very powerful, but I never expected that he would become so powerful. Seeing that the mercenary and the lady in front of him were completely shocked by him, Erwin could not help but feel a little complacent in his heart. He learned this skill from the system after level ten, although it was often used in the game in the past. , but this is the first time I have used it. [Claw Wind Sword Technique] Sends out a wind sword energy forward, the damage is the basic attack power level*, cutting damage, causing bleeding effect on unarmored/cloth armor/leather armor/light armor, damage range 10, consumption of physical strength/ l10 skill recovery time 6 This skill [Claw Wind Sword Technique] is equivalent to a sword attack with a height of more than three meters and a distance of more than ten meters. It is something that can be achieved after obtaining the title of Black Bronze Medal.?The high-damage skill learned is also a very important long-distance attack method for melee professions in the physics department. It is one of the must-learn skills for almost every player. Moreover, the [Claw Wind Sword Technique] Erwin is learning now only has PI and can only cut out a line of sword energy. The higher the level of this skill, the more sword energy it can cut out and the wider the range. When it reaches the highest level, At the highest level, you can even slash out ten fan-shaped sword energy attacks at a distance of tens of meters with one sword, which is a real visual impact. Erwin's move [Claw Wind Sword Technique] is completely out of the category of military swordsmanship or advanced combat swordsmanship. In terms of power, it is even much more powerful than the martial arts or secret techniques used by many strong men who have entered the gate of rank. It can shock everyone. It's natural to live with Lydia and her Thorn Flower mercenary group. Erwin put his Zantetsu Sword back into its scabbard. The reason why he exposed his hand was not only because he felt itchy, but also because he didn't want to fight with these people for no reason. As long as this woman named Lydia was not an idiot. Or maybe her head was really kicked by a donkey, so after Erwin used [Claw Wind Sword Technique] to cut the carriage in half in the air, she should not continue to cause trouble for him without overestimating her abilities. As for the thorn flower mercenary group that has any disputes or disputes with Rex, just go to him directly. Erwin is not in the mood to play with them. "Let's go." Erwin turned back to Susan and said, the latter nodded slightly, and the two of them were surrounded by more than 20 stunned mercenaries and Lidia, whose face was uncertain but did not dare to stop them. In tangle, he walked towards the two black-maned horses tied not far away. However, just when Erwin and Susan were about to mount their horses and leave, the mercenaries all stared at Lidia. The leader of the female mercenary group took a deep breath, and the anger in her heart immediately returned to Lidia. Irvine quickly swelled in this understatement of contempt. She turned around suddenly, pulled out the long sword in her hand and pointed it at Erwin, who had already walked not far away. Erwin heard the noise, but he did not stop. Instead, he threw his and Susan's luggage on the horse and prepared to get on the horse and leave. If this group of people really dared to overestimate their capabilities and continue to attack the two If people do it, then Erwin wouldn't mind teaching them how to behave well in such a cruel world. "You are indeed very strong, very powerful. Even if we are together, we may not be your opponent." The anger in Lidia's heart grew stronger and stronger, and the hand holding the sword even trembled with excitement, "But even if Put our lives on the line, and I will let you reveal the whereabouts of that murderer." More than twenty mercenaries immediately cheered, excitement and blood immediately surged into their hearts, washing away the memories of El who had just been killed. Wen Na's sword suppressed the feeling of humiliation that made him dare not move. Erwin immediately paused as he mounted his horse. He slowly turned around, his expression as cold as ice and snow, and the horrified aura burst out from his dark eyes, like a bucket of cold water in winter, dousing the excitement and enthusiasm of the mercenaries. Yu Jingjing, like an invisible big hand, grabbed their throats hard, and the rising and falling sounds of each other suddenly stopped. "What did you just say?" Erwin stepped closer to Lidia step by step. His sword had not been drawn out, but Lidia, who met his eyes, seemed to have been hit hard in the chest. She couldn't help but groaned and said to her. took a step back. This is the change after entering the gate of rank, which is enough to transform the mood into momentum, and then condense it into the substance to affect people. There was once a strong man at the seventh level of the Rank Gate who made an army tremble with a cold snort. Erwin was far from being able to do that at this time, but let a man with only the strength of an elite warrior do so. It is still easy for a woman to feel fear. "You said that the man in gray armor and black cloak that I served at the bar last night was a murderer?" Erwin asked in a much lower voice than before, but the pressure contained in it made the mercenaries around him As silent as a cicada. At this moment, Lidia was facing the huge pressure from Erwin, her eyes had to be slightly averted, but she still gritted her teeth and said as if she did not admit defeat: "Yes, he is a murderer, we are all chasing him. " As soon as the voice fell, Lidia felt the pressure suddenly lighten. She couldn't help but open her eyes and found that the powerful and scary young man in front of her had a solemn face, but the focus of his eyes was no longer on her. Erwin's mind was already filled with doubts at this time, and naturally he was not in the mood to continue to create psychological pressure on the leader of the mercenary group. Is Rex a murderer? Erwin couldn't help but think of Rex's ugly face and extremely strange behavior last night, and more importantly, Erwin asked Rex what kind of nightmare had caused him to look so exhausted and haggard. appearance, his answer made ElWen even had the urge to draw his sword for a moment. "If I said that I dreamed that I was this new murderer, would you believe it?" What the hell is going on? Erwin couldn't help but curse in his heart. He even began to regret why he didn't let Rex explain the matter clearly last night. Although Rex looked like he didn¡¯t want to say anything, Erwin didn¡¯t want to get involved in Rex¡¯s matter from the bottom of his heart. Although Erwin had decided to find something for himself to do as early as in Sand Shield City, when the matter came to pass, he still gave a very vague answer at Rex's invitation. Rex should have seen something was wrong when he refused Erwin's help last night. At this moment, Erwin felt his hand being held firmly by a cold and soft hand. He turned around and found that Susan had come to him without knowing why. "Calm down, don't be impulsive." Susan looked at Erwin with clear eyes, giving him support and comfort in this way. Erwin took a deep breath, then calmed down, and shook Susan's hand gratefully. Susan smiled slightly, then turned to look at the confused Lidia and her Thorn Flower mercenary group, and said in a clear and firm tone: "The people we know may not be the same as you said. There may be some misunderstanding, we can put down our weapons and talk about it." Lidia was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, agreeing to Susan's proposal. And at this moment, Erwin looked at Susan's exquisite and beautiful profile, and suddenly felt in his heart that he had done the right thing by taking this girl with him.
