Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

The flames were restrained by the chains, and the residual temperature even distorted the space a bit, but they still failed to gain the upper hand in the battle.

"Skills up to standard, come again!"

again?Can't come!

"For so many years, I have been confident that I am stronger than my master. I never thought I would not be able to defeat you!" Turtledove took a few steps back, temporarily stopped attacking, and hummed unwillingly, "With such talent in swordsmanship, I can defeat my master!" It's no wonder."

Dispel nodded: "I accept your praise without hesitation!"

"That was already my strongest move just now, and I have never had a defeat so far. Unfortunately, I still can't beat you, but it can be regarded as an end to my persistence for so many years."

Her voice was a little desolate, a little lonely, a little unwilling, a little sad, a little lonely.

"Hey, hey, are you going to admit defeat?" Dispell taught, "You don't even trust the sword in your hand, are you still a swordsman? How can you win if you fight with this mentality! How can you go far on the path of the sword?"

Chapter 120 Five Flying Cherry Blossoms

In just two sentences, it was like the awakening bell striking the turtledove's heart.

Years of obsession have shaken her will?is that so?

The long-term assassination mission affected her original intention of holding a sword?is that so?

It was the first time in her life to taste the fruit of defeat in kendo, and it crushed the self-confidence she had built all along, isn't that right?

The turtledoves asked themselves, perhaps it was so?Thinking about it, the sword in his hand couldn't help shaking.

At this moment, Dispel spoke again: "What's wrong? Are you shaken?"

Turtledove didn't respond, and Dispel didn't care about her. He just said to himself: "I have been called a swordsman genius since I was a child. Everyone who saw me using a sword said that I was the one they had seen. The strongest swordsman said that I am self-taught, and I was born to become a legend of swordsmanship!"

Dispel's words caught the turtledove's attention.

"But these talents they mentioned are commonplace things in my opinion, and they are not worth mentioning at all."

These words were somewhat Versailles, but Turtledove listened patiently, wanting to hear what Dispel had to say.

"Draw the sword, swing the sword, and draw the sword. Until I was 12 years old, I always used these three moves to fight. At first I used a branch that I broke off, then I picked up a thick stick, and then I used a harder one. The iron rod, the broken sword... When I realized it, I was called the number one swordsman in the kingdom by them!"

"They made me sound amazing, but in fact, I don't know much about swordsmanship. I'm just waving my hand to survive!"

Turtledove was silent after hearing this, thinking that it was no wonder this guy's swordsmanship was so peculiar, it turned out to be honed in life-and-death fights over and over again.

"The more I fight, the more confused my heart becomes. After every victory, I ask myself, 'What are you swinging your sword for now?' At first it was to survive, and later it was for things like 'The First Swordsman'" name, but is this really what I want? It seems not!"

"If I can't get the result by asking myself, I'll ask others, but others can't answer my question, so I can only keep searching, keep asking, while asking, while looking..."

Speaking of this, Dispel suddenly became a little excited, and his whole body seemed to be full of light: "It wasn't until I met those guys who were high above and didn't treat people as human beings that I had some guesses, maybe my sword was for It exists for love and justice!"

turtledove:"……"

Has your thought changed a little too quickly?Also, love and justice, are you a child?

What she didn't know was that Dispel was indeed in the second year of middle school at that time.

"With this in mind, I taught those guys a lesson, even if I was punished for it, I didn't care. During that period of time when I had a goal to fight for, I could feel that my sword was sharper!"

"Unfortunately, I soon lost my goal again, because I found that I am not a person who wields a knife for protection and peace, so I came here to find the answer."

Turtledove: "Hey, I gave up too quickly!"Also, which side is this? '

"The strong here all use magic, and there are too few pure sword masters, but this novel fighting method makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart, and even the speed of swinging the knife has become faster. Until that moment, I finally understand the reason why I am still wielding the knife now!"

Turtledove asked aloud, "What is it?"

She felt that the person in front of her had said so much just for the next words.

"There is no particular reason, I just think that swordsmanship is fun!"

Turtledove was silent again after hearing this. Swordsmanship is fun?Is this why you are still wielding your sword?What a mess!

"Do you think it's unbelievable? Or do you think the reason is not enough?" Dispell laughed, "But it's really just that simple reason."

"It's not a means of survival, it's not a famous name, it's not for love and justice, and it's not for leaving a legend in the way of the sword. It's just for fun, so I will continue to use the sword."

"At that time, I was amused by my own idea, and then I thought about it, isn't this what those guys often talk about, the original intention of swordsmanship?"

Turtle Dove seemed to understand, and murmured to himself: "Is this the original intention of swordsmanship?"

This person wants to use his own experience to tell himself that he has lost his original intention of using a sword?

"I don't know either!" Dispell said, "In short, after that, I felt that my strength had improved significantly, and I enjoyed every battle. That feeling seemed to let go and figured it out. , pulled it out, as if breaking free from the shackles, it made my whole body feel comfortable."

'Wait, did something weird get mixed in just now? '

Not noticing the strange eyes of the turtledove, Dispel was still immersed in his speech: "In order to play...ah no, in order to respect the opponent, I began to give my sword swinging skills one name after another, what is Wuji? Endless silence, sun marks, moon breaking stars, and fire refining water chaotic wind soul, but in fact, the names of these moves are not fixed, and you can call out whichever one comes to mind during the battle."

turtledove:"……"

"By the way, your sword name shouldn't be called casually, so far, it seems that everyone except me has a move name corresponding to a move, and I don't know why they spend so much brainpower thinking about what to use in battle. trick."

Ignoring the second half of the sentence, Turtle Dove replied: "Yes, Wuyueliu's sword skills have their own names, and these sword moves were created after hundreds of battles, and they were learned after sweating, so remember Remembering the name of each move is not only a respect for the predecessors, but also a responsibility to oneself."

"Hmm... understandable-so, after I've said so much, have you found your original intention now?"

The turtledove closed its eyes, restrained its breath, and said, "No! Not at all!"

Dispel: "..."

Waste of saliva!

"But... now, I can face the next failure calmly!"

The eyes that were opened again were full of firmness and openness, which were completely different from before!

Dispel praised him: "This is the look a swordsman should have!"

Turtledove paced forward, without the graceful walking posture it had when it first appeared on the stage, and completely gave up the pride up until now.

'What am I now wielding my sword for?Dead teacher?A moonless mission?Persistence for many years?Or this sword in your hand?It seems that these reasons are not...'

Seeing the opponent approaching, Kira also slowly inserted the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and the two made a clear friction sound.

"No moon stream..."

'See! '

"Sakura Slash!"

As if traveling through space, the distance of three meters jumped in an instant. The figures of the two were still facing each other in the last instant, but they switched positions in the next instant.

The turtledove turned its back to Dispel, leaning forward in a slashing shape, and the long sword in its hand seemed to cut out countless cherry blossoms.

With his back to the turtledove, Dispel's movements remained unchanged, as if he hadn't moved half a step from the beginning to the end. The long sword was completely withdrawn from the scabbard, and the scabbard and the scabbard made a crisp collision sound, which was exactly "drawing the knife, swinging the knife." , Receive the knife" is the last step.

"One knife flow, Juhe, people punish!"

Stab it!

Sword marks emerged from Turtle Dove's body, from the left shoulder to the right belly, more than two inches long, cutting through the chest-length kimono, leaving a cruel wound on her snow-white skin, spraying blood.

"Beautiful cherry blossoms!" Dispel praised, and then walked forward without looking back. The book said that real men never look back at the results of their battles.

"Thanks for the compliment! Ugh—"

Turtledove fell down with a plop. Before she passed out, a scene from many years ago flashed in her eyes. It was her first day of sword learning.

In spring, cherry blossoms dance.

Chapter 120 Six, Why Don't You Let Me Become a Believer of Jeref

"I must have looked so cool just now!"

After leaving, Dispel was ecstatic in his heart, secretly proud of what he said and did just now, but he didn't borrow a magic crystal from Kira to record it.

"I think the battle just now will be a good movie! Especially the last sentence 'very beautiful cherry blossom', ah, I am so handsome!"

Dispell was talking to himself while walking, his body twisted as if he had an epilepsy, "I can't imagine that is what I can say! Sure enough, the novels I read in the past two days are not in vain!"

Dispel felt that if he were the protagonist in the novel, he might have already fascinated the female swordsman named Turtledove, although he only had the sword in his heart... oh, now there are more novels.

After not taking two steps, he ran into Erza who had just arrived.

"Yo, Erza! What a coincidence!"

"Dispel? Uh, what's going on?"

It’s no wonder Erza was wondering, it’s because Dispel’s expression was a bit weird. How should I put it, if she used a novel she borrowed from Leibi to describe it, it would be “that kid is so handsome”… ...or "That kid is really bad"?

"Oh, it's nothing. I just met a swordsman with great potential. It feels really good to abuse food!"

Ersha knew who he was talking about as soon as she heard it: "Is it the last of the Three Feathered Crows? It seems that Gerald is the only enemy left!"

After speaking, her pace became faster, and Dispell followed immediately.

"At this time, Kira should have already met Gerald, right? You rush over now, maybe they are all finished..."

"That's why I have to hurry up. Between me and Gerald, we must make an end!"

Dispel complained: "Cut! Come on, you can't do anything!"

"I can! I will end Gerald's crime with my own hands!"

However, Erza's pretentious firm tone did not change Dispel's opinion.

"The feeling of love and hate intertwined is very uncomfortable! I know this feeling very well. I really love and hate novels these days. I love them and let me see a wider world, but I also hate them. Break my sword heart."

"Really, if I was asked to destroy those treasured books, how could I do it!"

Elsa: "..."

"Hey, it doesn't feel good to have love being stifled in the bud, right?" Dispell said sarcastically, "Obviously hope is in front of you, but because the person you like has been brainwashed and your temperament has changed drastically, this feeling of loss It's hard!"

"So that guy Kira is right. Human beings shouldn't set a flag, otherwise it will only lead to tragedy."

"Shut up!" Erza yelled, and then thought of something, "What do you mean by brainwashing?"

Dispel patted the back of his head: "That's right, you don't know these things! That's what Kira told me a few hours ago. The reason why Gerald is so pursuing the resurrection of Jeff from the Tower of Paradise is because because……"
