In such a scene, if it were someone else under Xia Ya's subordinates, they would have rushed forward long ago. But Philip is a delicate and cunning person, and after he suffered a big setback, he became more cautious, and he didn't have an immediate attack. I didn't go to look at the three people in the store, just to avoid exposing their tracks, but when I lowered my head to eat, I concentrated and listened carefully.
Dax saw Philip's appearance, and he remained a little vigilant in his heart. After all, Philip's description is not bad, and Philip also had the strength of a high-level warrior at the beginning, and his gestures were implicitly imposing. It was only after Dax saw that Philip's hand was disabled, he secretly felt relieved... With such a disability, no matter how high his previous ability was, I'm afraid it would be abolished. Not a big threat to myself.
The owner of this shop accepts Philip's love. Although Nene was driven away last time, the main contributor was Xia Ya. Philip was beaten down by Nene in just one encounter. But since Nene waited for the horse thief to leave, the people in the town were quite dissatisfied with the shop owner, which made the owner a lot of anger. Seeing Philip coming now, the resentment in his heart has been vented. He moved the stool and sat in front of Philip, eating, drinking and chatting with him. Talking about the current situation in the town recently, the boss sighed repeatedly.
Dax originally had doubts about this guest dressed as a samurai who just came in, but seeing that the boss had a heated conversation with him, it seemed that he was indeed an old acquaintance. The owner of this shop looks like an ordinary person, and there is nothing to doubt it...
Philip didn't get bored after listening to the boss rambling for a while. After a few words at will, he deliberately looked at the empty store and smiled, "It seems that your business is not very good."
"It's not! Ever since you and the lord drove away those horse thieves, the people in the town have hated me and never come to take care of my business. Alas, it's getting harder and harder every day..."
Philip smiled deliberately: "Oh, it's not bad today, isn't there a table of three guests?"
Saying that, he casually pointed his finger and said with a smile: "It seems that he is also a passenger passing by. Looking at this dress, it should be quite generous."
What he said, the voice was not loud or small, but it was just deliberately so that Dax could hear it. It's just such "inquiry", but it is full of small talk, and it does not attract suspicion at all. Dax listened, but he was relieved.
Although Philip was dressed as a samurai, but... At this time, it is not uncommon for people who go out to carry weapons with them to protect themselves. Besides, Philip's behavior after entering the door was nothing to do with it, and his hand was disabled, so he didn't pose much threat to Dax.
The boss listened to Philip's words and quickly lowered his voice: "Shh!!"
He glanced back, turned around, and his face was a little panicked: "Don't be loud! These three people don't seem to be easy to provoke, especially the man, who didn't know what happened just now. As soon as I approached him, I fell to the ground, he gave me something to eat, and I stood up again... You say, is this a legendary magic?"
Hearing this, Philip smiled deliberately: "I don't know, but you should be careful, now there is a chaos in the army, and those who dare to go far, who have no ability, don't provoke others."
The boss smiled: "Of course, I will serve you well until the uncle is satisfied, so that I can make more money."
The two were talking and laughing like this, although they lowered their voices, but their expressions were normal, that is, they were just greetings from ordinary people. When Dax heard the last, he stopped listening.
It was Philip, but he secretly thought in his heart: Magic? Does this guy still have magic
When he entered the door, he saw Adeline holding a knife against his neck, obviously being forced by the man at the table, and he already regarded Dax as an imaginary enemy in his heart. Just secretly waiting for the opportunity to act.
After chatting a few words here, the boss said goodbye, and went over to help set up the table at Dax's table again, and brought some food up and put it away, but he was afraid of Dax. .
Adeline sat down again, but her face was serious and she said nothing. Daphne looked at Dax, then looked at Adeline, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Dax, since the words have been made clear, please be careful with your words. In fact, you Escorting us all the way, we are still very grateful."
After a pause, Daphne remembered something and said, "What did you say 'the strong do not compete with the world' just now, what does this sentence mean?"
Dax glanced at Daphne, then at Adeline, and saw that although Adeline was still awe-inspiring, she couldn't help but reveal a little curiosity in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "I What to say, I'm afraid some people will think that I'm just guessing a lie, so don't say it."
Adeline raised her eyebrows: "Hmph, if you like to talk or not, as long as you don't provoke me again, then..."
"Oh?" Dax laughed: "It seems you want to hear it?"
"You... you love to talk or not!" Adeline turned her face away.
"Well, when you want to know something, you should always be more polite when you ask someone for advice." Dax smiled bitterly and touched his nose, "Actually, the meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand, it means... "
As he spoke, he peeked at Adeline, but saw that although Adeline turned her head, her shoulders were a little stiff, and it was obvious that she was eavesdropping.
He had no intention of teasing Adeline again, and after coughing, he said cheerfully: "Actually, the meaning of this is to be understood literally. The strong do not compete with the world. However, the strong are not us. A master in the ordinary sense. The strong, the strength of the strong!”
"The strength of the strong?" Daphne's eyes moved: "How do you say it?"
"Naturally, he is someone who is much more powerful than an ordinary expert." Dax considered it for a while, but the two girls in front of him were ordinary people who didn't know much martial arts. "It was really difficult, and he pondered for a while: "The real powerhouse refers to those who are truly above the world, such as... Lord Merlin of Landis, God Emperor of Odin, etc. people… "
Merlin and God Emperor Odin, I am afraid that in terms of personal reputation, the two most famous masters in the human world, Adeline and Daphne naturally know the names of these two people.
"The real powerhouses are not the high-level warriors and high-level magicians we are talking about... but the existences that have surpassed these levels."
After pondering, Dax continued: "Such a powerhouse already possesses extremely strong power, and a city can be destroyed with the power of one person! With the power of one person, an army can be blocked! If such a powerhouse comes Intervening in the world, I am afraid that it is to destroy the city and the army, and it is not a difficult thing to do."
The two girls nodded when they heard it.
God Emperor Odin has not taken many shots in recent years, but Merlin's deeds are known to the two of them. Although Merlin's affair was a shame for the Byzantine Empire, and the upper levels had a lot of cover up, the identities of the two girls were not simple, so naturally they knew something.
"Merlin alone repelled a Byzantine naval fleet in the past. Such strength is the real powerhouse. Just imagine, if such powerhouses use their power to intervene in secular disputes, then this world , but it's messed up. The emperor's subjects, the laws and regulations, all have no effect on these people. If this is the case, if a strong person wants to destroy a country, wants to do some damage, a forbidden magic magic bomb Going down, even if there are thousands of troops, they will be wiped out in an instant! Even if it is a majestic city, it will be like a piece of paper in front of such a strong man! In that case, what rules are there in this world? The world is in chaos!"
When the two girls heard Dax's words, they nodded in agreement. Even Adeline couldn't help turning her head back, sitting up straight and listening carefully.
"These powerhouses have too much power, and these powers, no matter what they do, once they intervene in the mundane world, they will easily disrupt the rules of the world and the original order structure. Many years ago, this world There are some wise and strong people on the board who made an agreement."
Dax said, and took another sip of wine to moisten his throat: "The content of this agreement is: the strong will not compete with the world."
Looking at the faces of the two girls, Dax smiled and said: "The source of this agreement is very ancient, what era was it set in the earliest time, it is impossible to test, but at least one can be known. Among the first few powerhouses who proposed this rule, there is one person who is clear... This person is Saint Laurent Garros in the ancient city of Babylon! The strongest one, although the mysterious Saint Laurent Garros never participated in the disputes on the mainland, only guarding the ancient city, but in order to prevent more and more strong people from intervening in the world and disturbing the world, in a very ancient era, Saint Laurent Garros and some of the strong men at that time made this agreement together. All strong men among human beings must abide by it. If they do not abide by it... they are the common enemy of the world! We can jointly crusade the guys who don't keep the promise."
Daphne listened and sighed softly: "That Saint Laurent Garros is also selfish."
"Of course." Dax smiled and continued: "In the original time, those powerhouses abide by the agreement. After all, if they can cultivate to that level, basically all kinds of desires for the world have been eliminated. , and have no interest in intervening in worldly affairs. But people are always people, and there are always some secular connections that cannot be separated. Occasionally, some strong people do not abide by the agreement, intervene in the world, and cause some troubles. And later, Gradually, an agreement was formed. Every other world, the strong human beings in this world will gather together once again to meet again, and everyone will continue to abide by the agreement. And this meeting, I heard that it is once a hundred years, also listen to It's said to be once every thirty years... But I don't know this, I think those strong people should be old monsters with long lifespans."
"The most recent meeting, according to what I know, seems to have been thirty years ago, and the place of that meeting seems to be in the imperial city of the Odin Empire. At that meeting, almost all the strong people on the mainland could reach. Now, Saint Laurent Garros, Lord Merlin, and of course God Emperor Odin are also there. As for the other powerhouses, although some of them are top-notch, they rarely show up in the world, so everyone may not know their names. I just heard that at that meeting, there seemed to be some contradictions between the strong men, and they fought hard, almost destroying the imperial city of Odin. But that time, there was an accident... "
"Accident?"
"Well, unexpected!"
Dax's expression became more serious: "One of the earliest advocates of this agreement is Saint Laurent Garros, so each generation of Saint Laurent Garros will shoulder the responsibility of maintaining this agreement, if anyone dares to violate it. , then Saint Laurent Garros will also come forward to punish. Saint Laurent Garros has always been the strongest powerhouse. As long as this guy exists, other strong men, even if they are not convinced, can only abide by this agreement. But in Thirty years ago... Saint Laurent Garros can no longer suppress others."
"why?"
"Just because of the contemporary God-Emperor Odin!" Dax's eyes flashed: "The contemporary God-Emperor Odin is really a powerful person who has not been seen in hundreds of years. Thirty years ago, his strength was completely comparable to that of God. The contemporary Lord Saint Laurent Garros has competed! Although God Emperor Odin has been strong in all dynasties, this generation is exceptionally strong! Even Saint Laurent Garros can't completely suppress him. Fortunately, that time , I heard that God Emperor Odin was not able to defeat Saint Laurent Garros... So, this agreement was reluctantly maintained. However, God Emperor Odin is the emperor of a country after all! In his capacity, how could he not intervene Secular? As a human emperor, it is natural to revitalize the country and destroy the enemy country! Is it too embarrassing to have a powerful and unparalleled ability, but can't use it? So... There has always been a rumor that many strong people on the mainland have I am worried that once the Emperor Odin continues to be strong, one day, when his strength has surpassed that of Saint Laurent Garros, this agreement will be torn up... At that time, even Saint Laurent Garros will not be his opponent, this world Come on, who else can suppress him?"
