The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 135: Clayton's past

Views:

Gorgeous sword waves surged towards Clayton like turbulent waves. The bloody God of War looked solemn and resisted all the sword waves one by one with his super-fast reaction ability. He wore a pair of fine iron gloves on his hands, and the sword wave hit the gloves with a clanging sound. They were like an airtight iron wall. No matter how fierce Regnar's offensive was, they still remained. No sword wave can break through its defense.

Regnar shook his hand, pulled out the light-swallowing sword from his back, and then activated Shadow Transmutation. This time he teleported directly to Clayton's shoulder. He made a slashing action before teleporting. After his body shuttled through the space, his slash hit Clayton's neck. Cut it off.

But he was destined to be unable to succeed, because the bloody God of War's kick arrived first and kicked him away. Clayton had already twisted his body when Regnar pulled out the Devouring Light, and at the same time raised his big feet high. At this time, Regnar activated Shadow Teleport and teleported to Clayton's feet as if cooperating with him. Then the Blood God of War exerted his strength, and Regnar howled miserably.

"Brother Regnar!" Inelis exclaimed. In the past two days, the little girl ran to the training ground at night to watch Regner and Clayton train.

Clayton has been training with Regnar for four days. Originally, he only planned to make do with Regnar for one night so that he could give Inelise an explanation. But I didn't expect that Regnar benefited a lot from that night's training. From then on, this guy actually encouraged Inelis to call Clayton every day.

Although Regnar was a little in awe of the Scarlet God of War, Inelis never did. In the past two days, Creighton had been annoyed by the little girl, but he never had an attack. He just came over with a frown and pretended to be Regnar. He is a sparring partner, but his attacks have been getting heavier and heavier recently. But Regner didn't really care. Anyway, it was just a skin injury. Just apply some medicinal wine and it would be fine in two days. Besides, the training effect without pain will not be much better.

"Big man, you are bullying Brother Regnar!" Inelis shouted, jumping on her feet, with a bit of reproach on her face.

"Hey, it's his own fault, okay." Clayton looked innocent: "I gave him a set of weapons and he's still like this. What can I do?"

"I don't care. If anything happens to Brother Regnar, I won't be able to spare you!" Inelise's partiality was not even covered up.

"..." Clayton was speechless.

"Don't worry Yi Ni, I'm fine." Regnar walked out of the shadows. Although he was breathing heavily, his face was not pale. It seemed that Clayton had been merciful just now.

Clayton glanced at Regnar with some admiration. Although he didn't exert all his strength with his kick, he felt that Regnar would lie on the ground and groan after taking the kick. But he didn't expect Regna to get up so calmly. It seemed that this kid had not only improved his fighting skills a lot in the past few days, but his ability to withstand attacks had also improved significantly.

"How did Lord Clayton discover my next move just now?" Regnar asked. The reason why the Blood God of War was able to kick him just now must be that he had prejudged his position after teleportation, but Regnar was very Curious, how did he do it

Clayton smiled: "It's very simple. What you just made was a slashing action. No matter how you think about it, the neck is the most suitable position for slashing. At the same time, your eyes have been staring at the position near the back of my head. So I am more certain of your next move."

"So that's it." Regnar nodded. This ability to judge the opponent's next move in an instant through the opponent's movements, expressions, and observation points is indeed very terrifying. If Regnar could discern his opponent's movements as easily as Clayton, then the battle would become much simpler.

"Okay, this is just the combat experience accumulated over the years. You can practice deliberately, but don't be greedy for success. This is not something that can be achieved overnight." Clayton proudly used two human idioms to express his universal skills. My language has improved again.

"Thank you for your advice." Regnar bowed slightly and saluted. Although Clayton and Regnar did not have the title of master and apprentice, the Scarlet God of War's guidance in the past few days had indeed benefited him a lot. Clayton was influenced by him. It's not too much to bow down.

Clayton looked at Regnar who was covered in bruises, calculated the time, and then said, "That's it for today."

"Okay." Regnar agreed. He was indeed very tired today.

"You've made a lot of progress in the past two days." Clayton praised him, "I'm in a good mood tonight. You go take a bath first, and then come to my place to have a drink with me."

"As you wish." Regnar replied, there were not many opportunities to drink with Clayton.

The wine brewed by the orcs had a mellow aroma and was extremely powerful. Regnar was not very accustomed to drinking it at first, but after living here for a few days, he gradually got used to the violent taste, and after tasting it carefully, he felt Another flavor.

Clayton took Inelise and Regnar back to his room, and then sent someone to get two bottles of good wine and some snacks to go with the wine, while taking care of Inelise's taste. Clayton also asked the guard to get a pot of human fruit wine, which was already the lightest drink in the eyes of the orcs, while juices from humans or elves without any alcohol content were not welcomed by the orcs at all.

Regnar poured a glass of wine and then stood up respectfully and said, "I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you Master Clayton for working tirelessly with me these two days to train."

Clayton frowned and waved his hand: "Boy, when we orcs drink here, we don't have as many twists and turns as you humans do. Drinking is drinking, and chatting is chatting. Don't spoil the mood by coming here to toast or to express gratitude."

"He's right, what you did is really not suitable for drinking with orcs." Garona's voice rang in Regnar's mind.

Regnar was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled: "Okay, I won't go on too much. Come on, Lord Clayton, let's drink this."

"That's pretty much it." Clayton nodded with a smile and then added: "Don't call me an adult or a villain in the future. Just call me Clayton. According to you humans, I am in this orc empire. There is neither an official position nor a title, so I'm afraid you are blind when you call me "sir"."

"Well, from now on, I will be brave enough to teach you Clayton directly." Regnar also knows the temper of the Blood God of War. For things like this, just follow his wishes. Simply put, it will come to you as you like.

Clayton took a knife and cut off a medium-fat piece of mutton and put it on Inelise's plate: "Eat, little one, eat more to gain strength."

"Ine doesn't have much strength." Inelise pouted and said, "I don't want to be as muscular as you, the big man!"

Clayton was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you don't need any strength. But you have to eat more to grow taller and more beautiful, just like the little girl with blue hair."

"Can you really be like Sister Anne?" Inelise asked.

Clayton looked at Inelise with a smile, and then nodded seriously: "Yes, as long as little Inel eats more and grows up quickly, she will definitely become a beautiful girl who is not inferior to Annelotte."

After hearing this, Enelise picked up the knife and fork and started eating seriously. Seeing Enelise eating with her mouth full of oil, Clayton's eyes flashed with love and sadness.

Regnar grasped this very keenly. He had another drink with Clayton and asked casually: "Speaking of which, I always feel that you seem to be extra... um... extra affectionate towards Yi Ni. Is there a reason? "

Clayton swallowed a piece of meat and said, "So there is."

"tell me the story?"

"..." Clayton fell into silence.

Seeing that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have mentioned, Regnar hurriedly said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'm just curious."

"There's nothing I don't want to say." Clayton sighed: "It was all decades ago, so it's okay, it's okay anyway, so just talk about it casually."

Regnar and Inelise both looked attentive.

"Hey! You humans are really naturally gossipy!" Clayton couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, don't delay, speak quickly!" Inelis said, waving her little hand.

"Okay." Clayton asked suddenly: "Do you know how I learned Common Language?"

"Didn't you learn it yourself?" Enelise said.

"Of course not!" Clayton said: "How could I do such a troublesome thing as learning a language? Do I have enough to eat?"

"That is how the matter?"

Clayton showed a look of reminiscence: "Because I once lived in the human world for a year."

"Oh?" Regnar suddenly became interested.

"I had just grown up at that time." Clayton said: "Although I was the tallest among the tribe, I was still a rookie warrior. The first time I went on an expedition with the tribe was the battle with the Black Fang Clan. The reasons and experiences of the battle I can’t even remember clearly. But the result was that the Scarlet Warsong Clan suffered a disastrous defeat.”

"Oh, big man, it turns out that you also lose sometimes." Inelise said.

"That's not true." Clayton touched Enelise's little head: "Everyone fails sometimes, and no one can be undefeated forever."

Enelise slapped Clayton's big hand away: "Keep talking, you lost the battle, what happened next?"

"Later?" Clayton said: "Then naturally we were chased and escaped. The remaining few of us were chased out of the wild plains by the Black Fang clan and came to Yegesen

Forest. Later, I got lost with them in Yege Forest. I was alone and seriously injured. When I passed out, I thought I was going to die. "

"But a human saved you?" Regnar guessed.

"Yes, humans saved me." Clayton admitted: "It was a mother and daughter, they lived in a small village near Yesong Forest. They saved me, they took me back home, You gave me food and cleaned my wounds, and I survived."

Clayton took a sip of wine, looked at Inelis and continued: "That little human girl is as old as Inelis, has the same blond hair, blue eyes, and the same innocence and cuteness."

"What happened next?" Enelise asked.

"Later? Later, I recovered from my injury. In order to repay them, I helped them go hunting to make money. Although most people in the village were afraid of me, with my efforts, they gradually accepted me and even let me Taking them hunting together. I did it for seven months, until that day..." A flash of pain flashed in Clayton's eyes.

"What happened that day?" Regnar asked.

Clayton took a deep breath and said: "That day... that day the orcs invaded that human village, and the clan that invaded was my clan, the Bloody Warsong clan."

"..." Regnar and Inelis were both silent.

Clayton continued: "They discovered me soon. With my help, the orcs finally chose to evacuate, and I followed them out of the human village. But even so, one-third of the Villagers died at the hands of my people.”

"Then the mother and daughter were..." Enelise asked tremblingly. Although she couldn't bear to hear the result, she still asked.

"No..." Clayton said, "I was living in their woodshed at the time, so naturally I wouldn't let them be harmed by the orcs."

"That's it..." Inelis patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Clayton was silent for a long time, and then said: "Later, I gradually gained a position in the Blood Song, and I came up with the idea of repaying them. I asked around, and finally learned... They were killed by other people who lost their families after the orc invasion. The angry villagers hanged them. And the reason..."

Clayton lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The reason is that they once helped me, an orc."
