Chapter 160 The Road Ahead (Meow is still rolling)
"Then Mr. Knight, I leave it to you, Gulea——!"
Sitting on the carriage, An excitedly waved to the two of them, while Gu Leiya looked at the carriage going away with a sad expression on her face, giving the impression that she was a puppy abandoned by its owner. She looked almost whining.
"Then...let's go too."
"Yes..."
The road to Hogarth Peak is not easy, after all, in this era, the towns were far apart. So Duanmuhuai and Gu Leiya could only go there on foot, but.........
It’s really hard.
Listening to the chirping of birds around him and looking at the scenery in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.
Generally speaking, traveling itself is a very boring thing, especially traveling such a long distance, it would be really difficult if there is no idea of passing the time. Not to mention that Gu Liya is still the kind of boring person who basically doesn't talk - just like now, she is following Duanmu Huai without saying a word, and she has no idea what she is thinking.
Haaah…………
Normally, An would still be there to make jokes, but now that An was gone, Duanmuhuai realized how important the presence of Her Royal Highness the Princess was. If she were here, at least the atmosphere wouldn't be so dull. In fact, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, the best combination is for An to accompany Gu Leiya to Hogarth Peak and form a team with Ogis. But it was obvious that An hoped that he could get along well with Gu Leiya, so he deliberately formed a team like this.
But...what should I say?
Looking at Gu Liya, who was bowing his head in silence next to him, Duanmu Huai also scratched his head. He himself was not a cheerful and outgoing character, and few people dared to talk to him on weekdays.
The girls around Duanmu Huai all have different personalities. The most lively among them is An, followed by Lorena. However, this priest girl is not like An who makes trouble regardless of the occasion. He only speaks when necessary.
In contrast, Ogis, Gulea and Audrey are all taciturn types, but the three have different ideas.
Although Ogis doesn't speak a lot of the time, she is actually just observing. How should I put it? It's similar to how natural researchers observe animals. Although they observe, they don't interfere without authorization.
As for Audrey, she gives the impression that she has no thoughts at all, and seems to have no self. She is more like a doll than Ogis.
Gulea, on the other hand, feels like she has been thinking about it but has difficulty expressing it.
It was like now, Duanmuhuai could sense what she was mumbling to herself, but couldn't say it.
That's what I said, but it would be too tortured if I just kept going like this.
"I said..."
"That..."
However, just when Duanmuhuai was about to talk, Gu Leiya seemed to have made up her mind and looked at Duanmuhuai. The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Then...you first?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Knight, you have to say it first..."
As she spoke, Gu Leiya lowered her head again, and faced with Gu Leiya's reaction, Duanmu Huai was equally speechless.
"Well...the weather is nice today."
"Well...yeah..."
"………………"
"………………"
No, I really have nothing to say.
Um?
Fortunately, at this moment, Duanmuhuai saw several figures walking towards the front of the mountain road. Seeing these figures, Duanmu Huai also became energetic. No matter whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, at least he is a human being, right? How much can relieve boredom on the road!
However, when he saw clearly the person coming from the opposite side, Duanmu Huai's expression suddenly darkened.
I saw several tall guys wearing golden armor walking on the mountain road, and among them were several prisoners, including men and women, old and young. At this moment, these prisoners are being surrounded by these golden-armored soldiers, and they are walking forward dejectedly.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai immediately narrowed his eyes, because he had already seen the true identities of these golden armored soldiers through their long ears.
Elf... Is this the elf of this continent?
In many stories, the impact left by elves on people is that they are nature-loving, proud, and beautiful. But in the world of Xinghai OL, elves are not something worthy of praise. Whether it is the elves on the novice planet or the spirit race from the star sea world in the universe, they are not a good thing in the eyes of players.
Basically, most Inquisitor players have only two attitudes towards the elves in the world of Xinghai OL.
Either destroy them completely or turn them into slaves. There is no need to think about peaceful coexistence, and there is no hope of joining forces to fight against the enemy. The dark elves and wood elves both deserved death, and the arrogance of the high elves was equally unbearable. Not to mention that the elves on this continent actually dare to standardize human beliefs in the form of an agreement - this alone is enough for Duanmuhuai to put these despicable long-eared aliens on the trial list.
Because of this, Duanmuhuai stopped when he realized that the visitor was an elf. Gu Leiya's reaction was a little slower, but she also stopped hurriedly and looked at Duanmuhuai in surprise, as if she didn't know who he was. What do you want to do?
"Wait."
Sensing Gu Leiya's gaze, Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and then placed his big golden sword across the middle of the road, blocking the opponent's way.
Soon, the high elves on the opposite side also discovered the existence of Duanmuhuai, but they had no intention of stopping and walked straight towards Duanmuhuai. At the same time, the leading high elf drew his sword, pointed at Duanmuhuai, and shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way immediately, we are performing official duties!"
Facing the threat from the high elves, Duanmu Huai didn't care. He just looked at the prisoners and asked.
"What crime did those people commit?"
"Do you even need to ask? They violated the Platinum Treaty and worshiped false gods without authorization. They will naturally be arrested!"
"False God?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"What qualifications do you, low-level aliens with long ears have to interfere with human beliefs?" "What did you say?!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the leading elf soldier roared angrily, raised his weapon and swung it at Duanmuhuai. However, the next moment, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed his head. Then he squeezed hard, and then saw the elf soldier's head being crushed like a walnut, and instantly turned into a corpse.
"Enemy!!"
Seeing this scene, the remaining high elf soldiers also hurriedly drew their weapons and rushed towards Duanmu Huai.
"Go to hell! Alien!"
Facing the high elf soldiers rushing towards him, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and then threw the headless corpse in his hand towards them. At the same time, he turned into an angry bull and crashed directly into the enemy in front of him! He didn't even take out his thunder axe, he just made fists with both hands and blasted at the high elves!
Facing the menacing Duanmu Huai, the high elf soldiers were stunned. At the same time, a wave of fear instantly surged into their hearts, turning into invisible shackles that restricted their further actions. Before the high elves could make another move, Duanmu Huai stretched out his two big hands, grabbed the two high elves, lifted them high, then held their heads and bumped them together hard!
"Bang!!"
Under the bombardment of Duanmu Huai's giant hands, the heads of the two high elves were directly smashed into pieces. At the same time, the remaining high elves also raised their palms, and thunder and lightning burst out from their hands, hitting On Duanmu Huai's body. However, the magic of the high elf was not painful at all to Duanmu Huai. He rushed forward directly to face the magic attack of the high elf, stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm of the high elf that released magic, and then pulled hard to both sides! He directly tore the high elf in half from the middle! !
In an instant, the army of high elves guarding the human captives suffered heavy casualties. The last high elf saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly tried to escape. However, Duanmu Huai just raised his palm towards him, and the next moment invisible gravity bound its body, pulling the high elf back directly.
"Bang!!!"
The high elf's thin body was knocked to the ground, letting out a painful wail, while Duanmuhuai just stared at it coldly and asked.
"Where are you going to send these prisoners?"
"…………You……Who are you? Are you a rebel?"
"That's not the answer I'm looking for."
Facing the High Elf's inquiry, Duanmu Huai's feet moved slightly. The next moment, accompanied by a shrill scream, the High Elf soldier's legs suddenly broke in an impossible direction.
"Answer my question."
"North, North Tower Fortress! There is a prison specially used to hold rebels and prisoners!"
"Where is it?"
Facing Duanmuhuai's questioning, the high elf soldier did not dare to say anything this time. He gingerly took out the map from his backpack and handed it to the latter. Duanmuhuai took the map, glanced at it, and clicked on it. nod.
"Very well, then you can go and die."
"Wait a minute, you can't. I have already answered your question. Please spare my life..."
However, before the high elf soldier could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai stomped on its head. Then Duanmu Huai stood up and looked to the side. To his surprise, the group of human prisoners did not take the opportunity to escape at this moment, but huddled up in a trembling ball and hid beside them, not daring to move.
"You can go."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand. After hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the latter stood up as if he had received an amnesty, nodded to him timidly and thanked him, and then left in a hurry.
It was only then that Gu Leiya walked to Duanmu Huai and asked uneasily.
"Mr. Knight, why did you do this?"
To be honest, Gu Leiya couldn't react at all to what happened just now. After all, Duan Muhuai took action so quickly that when Gu Leiya realized that something was wrong, the group of high elves had already been almost killed by Duan Muhuai.
"Because I am the judge."
Duanmuhuai stood up and looked at Gu Leiya.
"Miss Gulea, do you know what the duties of a judge are?"
"Huh? This..."
"Protect humanity, fight against chaos, and eliminate all threats to humanity, that is to say..."
Having said this, Duanmuhuai glanced coldly at the corpses of the high elves on the ground.
"Any race that is hostile to humans is the target of my destruction, whether it is an elf, a dragon, or even a god."
What's more, this world is Duanmu Huai's own fragment of the world. How could he tolerate the appearance of a race that oppresses humans in the fragment of the world he holds?
Is he still a judge?
“But…………maybe…………”
Facing Duanmuhuai's answer, Gu Leya hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice.
"Maybe...human beings are also at fault?"
"This has nothing to do with me."
However, Duanmuhuai's answer bluntly interrupted Gu Leiya's rebuttal.
"I am the judge, and my duty is to protect mankind. It's that simple."
Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai stared at Gu Leiya.
"On the contrary, Miss Gulea, which side are you on?"
"Huh?"
"Answer my question, Miss Gulea."
Duanmuhuai stared at Gu Leiya and spoke slowly.
"Would you choose humans or dragons?"
