"I told you, it's not a story, it's real …" Tomno said angrily as he leaned on his crutch. "Of course, I was part of the team that fought against this monster."
"Uhh … really?" Li Huailin asked. "The city is going to fight against this armored man?"
"Yes," Tomno nodded. "At that time, I was still a guard in Dolerid. Dark clouds loomed over the city, and I knew something bad was going to happen."
"Hey, how many times have you told this story? You've already made it up. Dark clouds loomed over the city. Are you going to tell the story?" Li Huailin couldn't help but interrupt.
"Do you want to hear it or not?" Tomuno didn't care about Li Huailin's identity and shouted in annoyance. He was already at the age where he knew his destiny. Why would he be afraid of the emperor of the mainland or the emperor of a minor continent?
"Alright, alright, go ahead." Li Huailin also hurriedly said.
"Anyway, it was a cloudy day." Tomno glanced at Li Huailin and continued, "I was resting in the patrol room when I suddenly received a report that the armored man was killing people in the city. I didn't believe it at first. After all, it was a character in the story … "
"Wait, wait …" Li Huailin quickly interrupted, "No, you said the story of the armored man existed before?"
"Yeah, I heard this story when I was a child. Of course, I didn't believe it either," Tomno nodded and said.
"Uhh … that is to say, this story actually appeared a long time ago." Li Huailin nodded. "Then you really met the armored man?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Listen to me, "Tomno continued. "Of course, I didn't believe it at the time, but the city had already sounded the alarm. Of course, I had to go and see what was going on. So I set off with my team to the scene of the incident. Unexpectedly, we actually saw the armored man … "
Tomuno suddenly turned to Vilna, who was standing beside Li Huailin. "Yes, it's the armor that looks similar to this one. But it's still different. I still remember the armor that the armored man wore. Although yours looks similar, it's not the same one."
"Looks like it really is your dad …" Li Huailin whispered to Vilna.
"Yes, my father's armor is very similar to mine. They were made by the same craftsman," Vilna said.
"In short, when our team arrived, what we saw was a scene that I will never forget for the rest of my life. At that time, an armored man covered in blood stood on top of a pile of victims. The scene was terrifying. I was so scared that I couldn't move at all. I've never seen such a terrifying scene, "Tomno continued.
"Ugh … he killed a lot of people?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes," Tomuno nodded. "According to our statistics, at least a thousand people were killed. They were all ordinary civilians, so we didn't know the enemy's goal."
"But Master Tomuno, if something really happened, why didn't the officials record it?" City Lord Lamton asked, "I didn't see any records of this in the official documents."
"You idiot!" Tomuno yelled. He didn't care if Lamton was the city lord or not. "It was the time when the undead invaded. Too many people died. How could they record that a thousand people died here? Or rather, no one cared about the thousand people that died here. "
"When the undead invaded?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, it happened at that time." Tomuno nodded.
"It happened more than a hundred years ago when the Undead Emperor Hoppes invaded, right?" Li Huailin confirmed.
"I said so." Tomuno nodded again. "I remember clearly that I was really worried. After all, I heard that the situation at the frontline was very tight. Many of my colleagues had been transferred to the frontline to participate in the battle. I was worried that I would be transferred away. The frontline was really scary. There was a slim chance of survival. In the end, I didn't receive any orders to transfer."
"Yeah." Since Tomuno was so clear about it, it was probably true. "Then continue. Didn't they kill people randomly? How did you survive? "
"I really want to say that I fought with them with my wits, but I don't think I can fool you." Tomuno looked at Li Huailin and smiled. If he were to tell others, he would probably tell them how he managed to negotiate with the enemy and escape. However, when he looked at Li Huailin, Tomuno didn't have any intention of bragging. "The truth is that my legs turned to jelly. I didn't dare to move. My mind was blank. I thought I was dead for sure. In fact, many of my teammates charged forward, but the enemy was too strong. They couldn't defeat him at all. I didn't go forward and survived. "
"So how did …"
"Young man, don't be anxious." Tomuno said, "The enemy killed my colleagues easily. At that time, I thought I was dead for sure. I didn't expect the enemy to suddenly stand on the spot, pick up the thing in his hand, and stare at it."
"The thing in your hand?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah. At that time, I also noticed that the enemy was holding something in his hand. It was a shiny thing. I couldn't see what it was, but the enemy kept looking at it," Tomuno said.
"Shiny thing …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Okay, then?"
"Then, the enemy seemed to study the thing in his hand. He spent some time, then shouted a few words to the sky. After that, he left." Tomuno spread his hands and said, "Yes, the enemy let me go. I didn't escape."
"Wait, wait, wait …" Li Huailin quickly said, "The enemy left and shouted a few words to the sky? What did he shout? "
"I don't know. I don't know what language he used," Tomuno spread his hands. Tomno shrugged. "It's not the common tongue, but I clearly remember hearing a name."
"What name?" Li Huailin asked immediately.
"Sello Logan," Tomuno replied.
"Huh? Sello Logan? "Li Huailin was a little stunned. Why did this guy appear again?
"Yeah, I don't understand the language he shouted, but I can still hear the name Sello Logan clearly," Tomuno nodded. Tomno nodded. "Sello Logan should be the name of the inventor of magic. I don't know how this armored man is related to Sello Logan, but it seems like he … doesn't like Sello Logan very much."
"Doesn't like him?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah, when he shouted, his tone was very angry and hateful. It felt like he had a grudge against Sello Logan," Tomuno said. Tomno said, "Although I don't understand their language, their tone is very clear."
"Grudge?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. "How is that possible?"
"Ugh … Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Lamton asked.
"No, it's not that …" Li Huailin quickly shook his hand. He just couldn't help blurting it out. That's right, it's a little strange. I heard from Darrocos and the others that Sello Logan seems to have a good relationship with Sello. After all, Sello Logan was also introduced by Sello. Why does he suddenly have a grudge against him? I really don't understand.
"That's the end of the story." Tomuno sighed. "Now that I think about it, I still feel a little regretful. Although I managed to escape, as a city guard, I didn't fight for the people of the city. I could only sit on the ground and escape with my life. I feel very ashamed …"
"You haven't seen this armored man since then?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah, at least not for the past 100 years," Tomuno nodded. "That's why everyone thinks it's just a legend. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would've thought it was just a legend too …"
"I understand." Li Huailin nodded. "Thank you for your help, old man. If there's any problem, I'll disturb you again. Is that alright?"
"Come anytime. This old bag of bones can only tell stories now. If you want to hear a story, come find me," Tomuno nodded.
Li Huailin waved his hand, and City Lord Lamton, who was standing beside him, naturally pushed Tomno away. Li Huailin didn't say anything and pulled Vilna to the side. Of course, the guards didn't follow them. It was obvious that Li Huailin was going to talk about something confidential, and they didn't dare to eavesdrop.
There was no one around, so Li Huailin asked Vilna, "Vilna, this armored man should be talking about your father, right? You don't have any siblings, right?"
"It should be my father, but …" Vilna was also puzzled. "But why did my father attack this city? As a god, why would he want to make life difficult for the civilians? It doesn't make sense. What grudge does he have with Selor Logan? I really don't know. "
"Isn't Selor Logan close to your father?" Li Huailin asked.
"Well … To be honest, I've only seen Selor Logan once, and I don't remember it very clearly. I was still very young at that time," Vilna said.
"Ugh …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Well, from what I've gathered so far, I can only come up with one answer."
"What is it?" Vilna asked.
"Your father is crazy," Li Huailin said.
Vilna was speechless.
