Chapter 96: One Power Down Ten Guilds
Seeing that Lin Peng was very interested in the "Top Ten Sword Saints" he mentioned, Xide sat down and said, "More than ten years ago, the situation in the Europa Continent was stable, so some people were idle and launched various lists, including the Ten Sword Saints, and the Ten Sword Saints rankings were also the most valued list. Because those who could be on the Ten Sword Saints rankings were all famous people on the Europa Continent, either they were generals or palace guards of a certain kingdom, or the leader of a mercenary group. In short, these people were very famous, so when the news of the Ten Sword Saints rankings were released, the top 30 quickly appeared."
"But Lin Peng, you also know that the area of the Europa Continent is not small, and there are many kingdoms of all sizes everywhere. It takes some time to enter some places, so it is a time-consuming and laborious thing to go all over the place to visit those sword masters. However, there is a young Count of the Holy Roman Empire who is very concerned about this matter, because one of his uncles is among the top 30 of the sword masters. So after discussing with his uncle, he began to travel around the Europa Continent to compete with the sword masters everywhere, and finally came up with this list of the top ten sword masters that can convince most people."
"But how to say that, the people on this list of the top ten sword saints were already thirty or forty years old at that time, and they were engaged in some dangerous jobs, either fighting on the battlefield while sick, or being alert to the enemy's attacks in the palace. So now, I think there are only one or two people left in these top ten swords, but these two people are probably using big swords because their physical fitness is better than others. So when the top ten sword saints were listed, the biggest controversy caused was that some people felt that big swords could not be considered swords, and should be divided into heavy weapons together with axes, hammers, and maces."
Hearing Xide say this, Lin Peng couldn't help but look at his great sword, nodded and said, "Yes, this great sword is a bit special compared to other swords. And to be honest, at the same level, the great sword is quite superior to other swords, because if the quality of other swords is not up to standard, it will be easily destroyed by the great sword; so there is a saying in our Eastern Continent - one force will reduce ten times, and there are also many sword masters in our Eastern Continent who choose great swords."
"One force reduces ten times?"
After thinking for a while, Xide nodded and said, "This sentence is well said. Even if a person with superb swordsman skills is difficult to withstand the strongman's full strength. A few years ago, when I was in the palace, I saw a nobleman with good swordsman's skills. He had to fight with a slave who was more than two meters high. As a result, he could still have some advantage in the early stage. As a result, he was accidentally swept away by the slave with a stick. If he hadn't blocked it with a sword at the last moment, he would have broken a lot of bones."
Speaking of this, Xide suddenly smiled and continued, "I can take you to meet that slave. After winning the duel with the noble, he became a free man and followed me to participate in several battles, so he and I have a good relationship. And now he is using a big sword as a weapon. You can..."
"Forget it, I'd better not ask for trouble."
Lin Peng quickly waved his hand and said, "I am quite self-aware of my strength, so I think I can't beat the strongman you mentioned in Xide; but then again, Xide, are you really not going back?"
"Go back? How do you go back?"
Xide said with a wry smile: "Now I am deported by the king. It is great to be able to stay in the kingdom to hide my name, because the king must know that I am still in the country, but he agreed to do so, which means that he is still considering the friendship of the past; and to be honest, I think the king has been very good to me, because let's not talk about anything else, I almost made him unable to become the king back then, so it would be great that he didn't kill me directly."
"That's not that Sid, you have a very high reputation among the people, so he doesn't dare to do anything to you."
As a person who knows Xide's life, Lin Peng knew very well that Afonso VI actually wanted to kill Xide, but at that time, Xide was famous in both the folk and the palace, and his reputation was high, so he could only choose to exile Xide to vent his personal anger.
"Oh, I..."
As soon as Xide said, a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance made Lin Peng and Xide alert at the same time, because Lin Peng and Xide are now located in a small town on the border of the kingdom, and there is no special place in this town. Simply put, there will be no more than double-digit outsiders entering the town throughout the year, even if they just want to take a break and have a meal while rushing, Xide chose such a small town for seclusion.
Most importantly, as an outsider who was unwilling to be named, when he came to this town with his wife, he was not favored by the locals. So even though Xide spent a lot of money, he only bought a piece of land on the edge of the town... According to Xide, Lin Peng was the only outsider he had seen in the past three months.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens to the owner of the horse's hoof sound, he should have come to find Xide, because if you walk further in this direction, you will soon see the sea.
"Lin Peng, if you have any questions, you can ride my horse away from here, because these people are obviously here to deal with me. If they have any malicious intentions towards me, I don't want to implicate you."
Sid pulled out the spear on one side, took a deep breath and continued, "If possible, I hope you can take my wife with you. She will tell you where to go. At that time, as long as you send her to your destination, she will give you some money to leave the Iberian Peninsula."
Lin Peng shook his head, picked up the sword and said, "Our Eastern continent has another saying called "Under the collapse of the nest, how can there be a complete egg? I will definitely not be able to escape now, so let's fight with Xide."
As soon as Lin Peng finished speaking, five fully armed knights appeared in front of Lin Peng and Xide.
"Brother, we're late!"
The leader took off his helmet and turned over and got off the horse.
