Lord of War

At this moment, the conference room fell into a silence. ※%,

Sean could feel a strong and oppressive atmosphere spreading in the air at an extremely fast speed.

"Lock of the Star Realm?"

"Isn't Locke dead?"

"How many years has it been..."

"At least a hundred years?"

Sila En's brows were tightly frowned, and the fury on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a solemn expression. He just stared at Iger so closely, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "Are you sure? It's really Star Realm Locke?"

Sean noticed that Sheilan's tone was extraordinarily solemn and solemn, and there was even a bit of deep uneasiness hidden in it. However, there was no weird look on his face, and it seemed that he was just a little troubled by the appearance of this unexpected person——Sean's eyes swept over all the people present in the meeting room, and then he quickly Surprisingly, none of these guys could feel the uneasiness in Xilaen's tone.

They all showed their fear and uneasiness clearly on their faces, and they didn't hide it at all.

This made Sean, who was used to the intriguing atmosphere of the world, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Floating island people, how pure-hearted are they?

Sean didn't know how famous Locke was before. The only thing he knew was that he had fought him once before, but because of the Eye of Truth, Sean didn't feel how strong this Locke was. On the contrary, he couldn't get any benefits at all from his subordinates, so he could only choose to escape in the end - from Xiao En's point of view, if he hadn't been present at the time. I am afraid that the teams of Iger and Piles should be completely wiped out.

"I'm sure." Iger stood upright, with a bit of a soldier's demeanor.

"Have you fought against him?" Sila asked in a deep voice.

"No." Iger shook his head slightly.

"Then how do you know it's Locke?" Sheilan's expression sank slightly.

"He showed his true colors." Iger said in a deep voice. "Originally he launched a surprise attack on me, but was stopped by Sean."

"Sean?" Sheilan frowned.

Then he shifted his gaze to Sean who was standing next to Iger, "That's him?"

"Yes." Iger nodded.

At this time, all the people sitting in the conference room turned their eyes to Sean. However, the expressions on everyone's faces are only distrust and guard, which are exactly the same as the expressions of all the floating people Xiao En saw on the floating island, without any difference.

Even Sheilan frowned.

It's just that this guy with a very hot temper seems to have a more delicate mind and a slightly deeper scheming, because his brows are only unwrinkled, and he doesn't show the same guard and hostility as the others. It's just the contempt hidden deep in the eyes. But after all, he still couldn't escape Xiao En's observation - of course, if counting the orange halo revealed by the Eye of Reality, Xiao En can be sure that the attitude of the people of the floating island to the residents of the land boundary will never be so friendly go.

"It was you who stopped Locke?" Sheilan said in a calm tone, his head slightly raised, appearing a little arrogant.

Sean didn't reply, just looked at Sheila with a calm face.

This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties, but Sean knows that his actual age is definitely more than that. Because this is a high-level sanctuary powerhouse. According to Iger, Silane is a strong man who can compete with Levi, which means that Silane's combat experience and martial arts are also outstanding, at least a lot ahead of people such as Iger and Peles .

But the sanctuary realm. The level of personal strength can no longer represent everything, and what can truly represent "absolute theory" is the perception of the law. Although the upper sanctuary powerhouses have a slightly higher understanding of the law than the lower and middle ranks, it is not uncommon for the lower and middle sanctuary powerhouses to kill the upper sanctuary powerhouses. And because of this. That's why Piles dared to challenge Levi with his blood of the mad god, even ignoring the so-called top ten powerhouses in the so-called comprehensive list of the Floating Holy Academy.

certainly. He was indeed a genius in his own right.

And Xilaen is undoubtedly also a member of the ranks of "geniuses".

Just in Sean's opinion. The reason why Xilaen refused to become the so-called top ten in the academy was simply because he couldn't bear the humiliation of failure. Of course, it's not like there is no idea of ​​​​covering up the failure-for example, "the strong like me are not ranked in the top ten of the academy, and the so-called top ten of the academy is just a false name." After all, in this world, no matter where it is, there are always a lot of onlookers who don't know the truth.

Seeing Xiao En sizing him up unceremoniously, Xie Laen's face darkened, showing a bit of impatience: "I'm asking you something!"

A bit of sarcasm appeared on Sean's face: "Who are you asking? I didn't hear anyone talking to me."

This attitude immediately made everyone in the conference room look dissatisfied, and many people were even more annoyed.

Iger glanced at Sean, and there was deep helplessness in his eyes. Although he and Sean have only known each other for only two days, and they haven't had a deep relationship, he really knows Sean's character very well. Don't look at Sean's easy-going and easy-going appearance, but this guy is the real one. His pride is deep down, if you don't respect him, he won't respect you either.

It is true that the people of the floating island respect the strong, but the people of the floating island also have a kind of superiority and arrogance that also comes from their bones. In their view, the people of the land boundary are inferior existences. So no one will respect Sean before seeing Sean's strength.

Therefore, Iger, who was caught in the middle, seemed quite helpless.

"Your Excellency Xilaen, please allow me to say a word." With a light cough, seeing that there was a possibility of a big fight in the conference room, Iger could only speak.

"Say!" Sheilan turned his gaze away from Sean to Iger, and shouted in a cold voice.

Looking at the scene in front of him. The sarcasm on Sean's face became even more apparent.

Others may not be able to see it, but Xiao En is very clear. Don't look at Xi Laen's fierce behavior, he seems very angry. But in fact, he didn't even have the idea of ​​fighting with himself. Although the feeling is not necessarily accurate, Sean's intuition is telling him that Sheila seems to be a little afraid of fighting with him, so Iger's opening is tantamount to giving Sheila a step down.

At this moment, Sean seemed to understand why Sheila was not Levi's opponent.

Because Xilaen is too shrewd, this is not like the style of the people of the floating island at all. He always takes many factors into consideration when doing things, so that he will always be in the most favorable state. Therefore, he needs to consume a lot of mind to calculate, and naturally he has no time to practice martial arts. In the same way, it lacks the indomitable and desperate momentum like Levi, and often chooses to give priority to saving his life.

And such a person, no matter how talented they are, their achievements are bound to be limited.

Therefore, from the moment Silane was defeated by Levi, he was destined to never surpass Levi in ​​this life. Because of this, Sean can probably understand why Iger told him why the relationship between Silaen and Levi is not bad. Not that Theraen was really that generous. Ignoring the shame of losing to Levi, but he is too shrewd, and being friends with Levi is more beneficial to his reputation.

"Mr. Sean is a friend of Lord Levi, and it seems that Lord Levi brought him back when he came to the floating island this time." Iger said.

"Levi?" Sheila was taken aback for a moment. Then he said softly, "Levi is unconscious now, how can he prove it?"

"This is what I saw with my own eyes." Iger said. "Mr. Sean was the only one around Levi at the time, and it was indeed Mr. Sean who was protecting Levi. Plus, along the way, Mr. Sean also helped me a lot... To be honest, if it wasn't for Xiao If Mr. En is here, I am afraid that neither Piles nor I can survive, after all, the situation at that time was that we were all being targeted by Locke."

"You mean..." Sheilan's pupils shrank slightly, "Sean repelled Locke?"

"Yes." Iger nodded, "It was to repel Locke head-on, forcing Locke to choose to retreat. And judging from the situation at the time, Locke seemed to be very scrupulous about Mr. Sean. As for the specific reason... I don't know. Be clear, after all, it wasn't me who was fighting Locke at the time."

The conference room suddenly became chaotic like a frying pan.

Everyone looked at Sean in disbelief, and the noisy discussion did not avoid the presence of Sean, one of the parties involved. Generally speaking, these people couldn't believe that Sean could defeat Locke, and it was still in a head-on fight. After all, Locke's reputation is like a special existence like a legend to them, and it is their spiritual symbol and pride.

But now, someone said in front of them that the spiritual symbol they worshiped was actually defeated by a person from the boundary they looked down upon. How could the proud people of the floating island accept it?

Sean believed that if the person who said this at this time was not Iger, one of the top ten members of the Floating Holy Academy, he would definitely be branded a traitor by them. Maybe, he will be thrown to do some hard work like those rebels, and Sean who came with him will also be imprisoned or challenged by them.

It's just that now, everything Sean had guessed did not appear.

The people of the floating island do have their pride.

Their pride comes from the pride of their soul, blood, and race. This kind of pride is the fundamental reason why the people of the floating island have been able to stand for so many years without degrading or declining. They may be arrogant, but it does not mean that they cannot accept other people's opinions, nor does it mean that they will be arrogant.

Perhaps Iger's reputation is worthy of guarantee, so when he said these words, even though the pride they once believed in was shattered, they did not clamor for a duel with Sean or other reckless behavior. Especially when Sheila raised his hands and slowly pressed them down, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided, and their gazes at Sean were no longer as vigilant and distrusting as before, but only A kind of respect for the strong.

To be honest, Sean couldn't understand the thinking of the floating island people at all.

Because their habits are too different from those of the land boundary.

As Sean who is used to the game's "red name is a monster, just do it directly", "if you don't accept it, you can pk", and the "superficial alliance, secretly stumbling each other" or simply being supercilious in the game, he It feels like these floating islanders are like saints. Of course, lunatics like Piles and shrewd guys like Sheilan are exceptions—but this also proves from the side that there will never be a shortage of weirdos in the world.

"Please forgive us for our impoliteness." Sheilan crossed her hands and pressed lightly on her chest, then bowed slightly to salute.

This is a very ancient ceremony of worshiping the gods. It is said that it is a kind of etiquette when the gods salute the gods in the dawn era-of course, that kind of etiquette is much more complicated. The etiquette preserved on the floating island today has already It has been simplified countless times. The aristocratic rites in the land are the product of this god-respecting rite. Its simplicity is simpler than that of the floating island people, but it is slightly more elegant.

Following Siran's salute, the other floating islanders in the conference room also stood up and saluted Sean. Even Iger, who was standing beside Sean, saluted Sean without hesitation.

Sean didn't know how to return the gift. Based on the principle of doing more and making more mistakes, Sean didn't say much, but accepted it calmly with a face of naturalness. But invisibly, this action also implicitly conforms to the behavioral benchmarks of the strong in the floating island—of course, if it is on the ground, then there must be many people who secretly slander Xiao En's attitude, but on the floating island On the above, everything looks very normal.

The only one who wants to express dissatisfaction is probably Sheila En.

But at this time, Sean not only showed the pride and attitude of a strong man, but also Iger testified from the side. No matter what aspect is considered, Silaen will naturally not use this topic again. As an extremely shrewd character, Xilaen will only defeat opponents in the field he is good at, but will never venture into the field he is not good at to provoke - if it is not for the halo on his body has changed from orange to yellow Turned into light red, Sean was almost deceived by his sincere expression.

Seeing Sheila's performance, Sean couldn't help but think of Sean Hastings back then.

It's just that when it comes to acting skills, the guy dubbed the traitor of the Hastings family is even better. (To be continued..)
