Of course, Quill would not slap his deputy commander. In fact, when she was yelling, the guards outside had already entered the inn. At this time, the owner of the inn immediately ignored the waiter he had called and shouted to the guards, "Catch that troublemaker!"
The guards were stunned for a moment. Then, they raised their spears and prepared to rush in from outside, but they had forgotten the existence of one person. Huang Huo raised the long sword in her hand. With a flick of her thumb, the cyan-steel sword popped out of the sharkskin scabbard with a clang. She grabbed the hilt with her right hand and swung the sword forward. A crescent-shaped flame swept towards the door.
Sizzle! The flame landed under the feet of those guards, burning a half-moon-shaped scorch mark on the floor less than an inch away from their toes. It was a warning sign.
The guards were just ordinary people. They were not as powerful as Xin. They were so scared that they froze on the spot and did not dare to take a step forward.
But just because the guards didn't move forward didn't mean that their knights would. A figure separated the front row of guards. With a loud shout, he wielded his sword with both hands and slashed at Huang Huo.
Huang Huo had already noticed the Knight in the group. She lowered her body and let the sword pass over her head. Her heart was as calm as still water. It was as if everything around her was reflected in her heart. She let the Knight's two-handed sword slash at the counter as the owner of the inn screamed in fear. It made a cracking sound and sent wood chips flying.
At the same time, the long sword in her hand was as red as fire. She stabbed the Knight's chest and abdomen from the bottom to the deck. Clang, clang, clang. After three consecutive stabs, the Knight was forced to take three steps back. He even had to abandon the two-handed sword that was stuck on the counter. After that, he pulled out a short sword to block Huang Huo's attack.
He could not help but turn pale with fright. He could see that Huang Huo was not weak, but she lacked combat experience. Otherwise, the warning sword would have landed on the guards instead of in front of them. Showing mercy in a place like Rosaleen's meant that the opponent was just a novice, a 'noble' swordsman who had never seen blood before.
This kind of person would often be flustered when facing fierce attacks because of distractions. When facing an opponent of similar strength, they would not even be able to display 30% of their strength. However, Huang Huo was not only calm when facing his attacks, but also dared to engage in close combat.
When Huang Huo attacked first, he even had the illusion that he was facing a little girl. Instead of a seasoned mercenary who had no regard for life and death?
What he didn't know was that although Huang Huo had never killed anyone before, she had already experienced countless life and death situations. The core of the path of the Jade Phoenix was the phoenix's nirvana and rebirth from the jaws of death. Maintaining calm under any situation was the most basic quality.
The Knight turned pale with fright. Huang Huo instantly sensed that his heart was wavering, which made her a little angry. In her opinion, every battle should be serious and serious. This was the basic respect for the opponent and life.
She swung her sword backhandedly at the man's short sword, cutting off the blade of the short sword that had been carved with three deep marks. The short sword flew out, spinning in the air and nailing itself to a wooden pillar not far away with a thud. Before the Knight could react, Huang Huo turned around and kicked his breastplate. Both the breastplate and the breastplate caved in. The Knight screamed and flew out from where he came from, knocking into several guards along with him.
There was a loud crash outside the Storm Shadow Inn, which lasted for a long time before it stopped. Huang Huo pursed her lips and looked in that direction silently. The long sword in her hand had already returned to its scabbard, and then she stood up straight again.
She wasn't surprised by the result. The Knight's strength was much weaker than hers, but he dared to be distracted during the battle. She didn't kill him, otherwise he would have been a corpse by now.
The atmosphere of this place made her frown. In the Nine Phoenixes, in the Jade Phoenix clan, there would never be such a blasphemous battle.
She wasn't surprised, but the others were. Other than Brando, the inn was almost silent again. Most of the guests in the inn were not fools. Other than the weak inn owner, no one would think that these guards could do anything to the young man.
After all, the strength that the young man displayed was at the level of the Elemental Realm. In Rosaleen, the only person who could suppress these Elemental Realm adventurers and swordsmen from the Nine Phoenixes was the Lord of Rosaleen's guard captain, Boban.
But they didn't expect that the little girl that Brando brought, who looked as delicate as a porcelain doll, would be so strong.
The long sword in her hand was quietly sheathed in the sharkskin scabbard, but at this moment, no one dared to think that it was just an exquisite decoration.
Adney, who had witnessed this scene, opened her mouth in an 'O' shape. Although she was a little impulsive, this didn't prevent her from seeing the true level of strength of Huang Huo. She was probably only a little bit weaker than herself.
"She, she, she …" Adney pointed at Huang Huo and trembled, "Is it her, Quill?"
The elf took off her longbow and shook her head, "Captain, pay attention to that young man …"
"What's there to pay attention to? He's not handsome." Adney answered casually, but she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and screamed, "Oh right, the Holy Sword of Ra! That guy is the bearer of the Sun God's sword! "
At this time, Brando pulled Incirsta up from the ground. He looked back at the door of the inn. He'd seen Huang Huo's performance earlier, and it was remarkable. He could see that Huang Huo didn't have much combat experience, but she was so sharp in her first fight. This could no longer be described as a genius.
This little girl is a natural warrior, but she's not necessarily a swordsman. Brando thought. He'd clearly seen that Huang Huo's understanding of swordsmanship was very superficial. At least, it didn't match her fighting talent.
The second thought in his mind was that Yura wasn't as good as her.
Yura was Aike's fiancée, the woman whose real name was Huang Yu.
"Let's go to your room and talk," Brando said to Incirsta, who was in front of him.
"It's my pleasure." Incirsta coughed with a wry smile. Brando hadn't held back at all. Although he was an undead, he was still injured quite badly.
He looked at Huang Huo again and asked, "She used the Desert Wind Swordsmanship?"
Brando nodded and said without hesitation, "Yes, she's the person Ghost Chariot is looking for."
"But the information said that she has a guard. Where is that guard?"
"He went to the port. I guess Lord Rosaleen has detained all the ships in Rosaleen's port. Mr. Liu wants to go to the port to confirm it. Now it seems to be most likely. Where are the sailors detained?"
Incirsta looked at him silently. "They should be in the city. No one cares about them. Lord Rosaleen just chased them off the ship. As for whether Ghost Chariot has placed any spies among them —"
He shrugged.
It was easy to talk to smart people. This person was indeed the Black Lord Incirsta from his previous life. Brando looked at him and suddenly had a complicated thought.
If I kill him here, it might save me a lot of trouble in the future.
"Mr. Earl, you seem to be very afraid of me." Incirsta saw many things in his eyes and said.
"I'm afraid of the Black Rose of Bramanto. There's someone who can make it bloom brightly in the dark," Brando said calmly. "If this person is right in front of me, what do you think I should do?"
"I didn't expect the Lord to think so highly of me. I don't know if I should feel honored or afraid …"
Incirsta smiled bitterly again and shook his head.
Brando just looked at him quietly. He pressed his hand on the Flaming Blade, the killing intent in his heart faintly discernible. Reason told him that he should draw his sword immediately, but in his heart, he felt that this name, which had left a deep mark in the war between Erouine and Madara, should not fall in this place.
In this shabby little inn, which was an unknown distance away from Erouine.
"I'll give you one more chance," Brando suddenly said. "If Lady Martha doesn't think you should die in this nameless place …"
The Soulfire in Incirsta's eyes lit up. "My Lord, you want to know the details of the war between the undead and the monsters in the Wilderness of Bones, as well as the motive of the undead to invade Erouine?"
Brando looked at him deeply. "Your astuteness makes my hair stand on end as always, Sir Incirsta."
"Soon, those Knights will call for more people." Incirsta didn't answer the question.
"It doesn't matter, they won't disturb me —"
Adeni stood by the counter that was split in half.
She watched as Brando brought the handsome young man in a black cloak upstairs. "What should we do? Should we follow?" She turned around and asked. "Did you see it clearly? Is that person really holding the Sacred Sword of Ra?"
"That looks like …"
"But it doesn't look like it either."
The Knight spoke one after another.
"Shut up." Adeni no longer had any hope for these people. She watched as the little girl silently walked past them, took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and put it on the counter. She then booked a room for the frightened shopkeeper.
It was as if the commotion earlier did not exist, and did not seem to care if the escaping guards would call for more people.
Adeni did not care either. She looked at the phoenix-shaped silver ingot on the counter with a pained expression. She moved her mouth and wanted to ask the shopkeeper if he knew how much money it was.
But Huang Huo had already turned around, parted the crowd, and followed Brendel up the stairs, leaving only her back view.
