Reida observed Roa's expression. The youth's originally gentle features had completely changed at this moment. The dazzling eyes, flowing like lava, met Reida's indifferently.
There was no emotion in those eyes, just like a high-ranking god looking down at the ants below. An irresistible majesty emanated from Roa's body. That irresistible pressure, like a mountain, pressed heavily on Reida's back.
The pressure was like a substance. Reida was already old, and her physical strength was no longer at its peak. Now, continuing to activate Deprivation Field, her body was already somewhat overwhelmed. At this moment, being intimidated by Roa's pressure, Reida only felt a sweetness in her throat, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Reida's expression became ferocious. She, a dignified Water God, was actually intimidated by a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.
Reida was an old-brand Water God. More than twenty years had passed since she became famous. She had never encountered such a thing before.
Roa's behavior could only be said to have low damage, but it was extremely insulting.
Reida gripped her long sword tightly, wanting to fight Roa to the death.
But reason was telling Reida not to do that.
Going up now would be a complete waste of life. She couldn't die, at least not the current Reida.
She was the Water God, the current leader of the Water God Style. If she died, but her subordinates didn't have anyone capable enough to take her place, then the situation would become quite chaotic.
It wasn't that she didn't have excellent juniors. Her granddaughter, Isolte, was an extremely outstanding junior. As Roa said, Isolte's future achievements would be very high, and even surpassing herself was not impossible. What she lacked now was time, and she, Reida, was not only Isolte's teacher, but also a protector.
So, now she can't be capricious, she can't be like when she was young.
Reida bit her lip and finally put the long sword back into its sheath.
She reluctantly dispelled the Field.
The invisible domain disappeared, and the feeling of slashes that might come from all directions disappeared at this moment. Reida snorted coldly, said nothing, but stared at Roa with very cold eyes.
Roa came to Reida, his eyes swept over Reida, and his gaze stayed on the girl beside Reida.
At the moment when Roa focused his gaze on Isolte, Reida took a step forward without a trace, blocking her entire body in front of Isolte.
At the same time, she looked at Roa with vigilant eyes.
Reida opened her mouth and said, "What do you want to do?"
"I can see that although that little girl is young, she has such attainments, but more of it is theoretical knowledge." Roa said slowly.
"So what?" Reida's expression was as gloomy as water, and her sharp eyes stared at Roa's golden eyes.
Roa met Reida's gaze without the slightest timidity. Roa said in a deep voice, "She needs to fight more masters now to grow, doesn't she?"
Isolte, hiding behind Reida, opened her mouth to refuse, but Roa didn't let Isolte say the words of refusal. Roa said directly, "I can help her, this is even a small apology for being a little rash this time."
Reida didn't speak, she didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.
"I can take her with me. There will inevitably be many people challenging me in the future. I can watch her and let her fight against those masters."
Reida still didn't agree. She remained silent. It had to be said that Roa was right, the actual situation was indeed as Roa said, and Roa's proposal was quite tempting.
Seeing that the other party hadn't agreed, Roa had no choice but to continue, "Of course, I won't let her die, nor will she lose arms or legs, after all, I'm right next to her."
This time Isolte couldn't sit still, she shouted, "Don't even think about it, you are a bad person."
Roa smiled when he heard Isolte's address to him. Looking at the somewhat ignorant blue-haired girl in front of him, Roa just said lightly, "Bad person? In your eyes, what is so-called good and bad? What is your definition of good and bad for things and people? Child, you are too naive, old woman, your disciple lacks training, in my hands, she can go further."
Isolte's face turned red. It was the first time she had been called a child by a young man of similar age, and she was reprimanded like this. A sense of shame surged into her heart.
However, these words meant something else to Reida.
This time Reida didn't remain silent, but asked directly, "What do you want?"
Roa smiled, returning to his original gentle and refined posture.
Roa said lightly, "I need you to do me a favor. I hope you can stand on Ariel Anemoi Asura's side and help her fight for the throne."
"Ariel Anemoi Asura?"
Reida frowned and recalled for a while, and soon remembered the person corresponding to this name.
That was a girl, a girl who looked gentle, but was quite bold and unrestrained in her actions. Occasionally, some rumors about the girl could be heard.
In short, Reida's impression of this little girl was not very good.
However, what puzzled Reida now was why Roa knew this girl. More precisely, the two belonged to the type that couldn't be reached by eight poles. Why would Roa make such a big fuss and even take action himself.
Although Reida was an outsider, as the Water God, her status was detached and refined.
Although she did not explicitly participate in the internal struggle of the Royal family, anyone with discerning eyes could see that although Ariel Anemoi Asura was recognized as the third heir, this throne actually had nothing to do with her.
Whether it was ministers or nobles, she had no one to support her.
And now, unless someone with enough weight speaks, this throne is destined to have nothing to do with her.
Does Roa have weight?
A Sword God naturally has weight.
As a major power, even a lower-ranked major power, not everyone can provoke them, especially large countries like Asura, who have families and dare not offend people like Roa.
If they really offend the other party, as long as the other party wants to, as long as they find the economic lifeline of the Asura Kingdom and sit there, they can cause unimaginable economic losses to the Asura Kingdom, and this loss is long-term.
This is still considered good-tempered. If they really provoke the other party, it is not impossible to break into the Royal capital and kill everyone.
Reida's eyes saw Elena standing behind Roa, watching the excitement with a gloating expression. The moment their eyes met, Elena immediately returned to her indifferent expression, and naturally shifted her gaze, not daring to look at Reida.
Looking at Elena, and then at Roa, Reida sighed.
She didn't know what kind of chips this princess named Ariel had taken out to make the Sword God, who was originally thousands of miles away, come here all the way from the Holy Land of Swords.
She could even make the contemporary Sword God try to persuade herself to join Ariel's team.
If there was really a deal, the price paid must be quite large, large enough to make a Sword God tempted.
"I don't know why, a little girl would attract so much attention. To be honest, I have already agreed to Darius's request, and under no circumstances can the kingship be handed over to Ariel."
Speaking of this, Reida glanced at Roa again, and saw Roa's indifferent attitude as always. Reida continued, "Now it seems that this is no longer something I can control. Roa, I can at most not obstruct Ariel from becoming the new king. As for letting me help her, that's impossible. If it weren't for Darius's help, I would have died in some small place. This is my bottom line, I hope you can understand."
Speaking of this, Reida once again grasped the long sword at her waist, and the muscles all over her body tightened again.
Unexpectedly, this time Roa was quite easy to talk to. Roa nodded slightly, which was regarded as agreeing to Reida's condition.
The two took a step back, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
The tense atmosphere disappeared, leaving only the crowd looking at each other.
No one would have thought that the two of them were still releasing big moves to prepare for a life-and-death fight the second before, and the next second they shook hands and made peace. The change of face was too fast, causing everyone to be caught off guard.
The most confused person was Isolte. She looked at Reida blankly. She was really confused.
Isolte tugged at Reida's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's going on?"
She inexplicably became a handyman following the other party, and she had to agree to a condition from the other party. No matter how she looked at it, it was a loss.
Isolte couldn't understand what Reida was thinking.
Faced with her granddaughter's question, Reida just said very calmly, "His strength is very strong, I can't stop him, you also saw that even if I opened the Field, I can't stop him."
Speaking of this, Reida paused, and looked at Isolte with gentle eyes, "As for you, child, you are not enough to carry the banner of the Water God Stream. You still need to train, and staying by his side is the best training for you."
"Ah?" Isolte was still a little confused, not quite understanding what Reida meant.
Reida said earnestly, "Let's do it this way. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made such a choice. You will follow him for this period of time."
After speaking, Reida turned her head and took a deep look at Roa. Her originally old face looked even more vicissitudes at this moment.
Reida said solemnly to Roa, "Then, I will leave my disciple to you."
Roa nodded slightly, Reida didn't say anything more, put the long sword into its sheath, and walked towards the depths of the palace.
In the gate, only Roa and Isolte were left.
The guards looked at each other, and after looking at each other, they all read some confusion from each other's eyes.
The time the two fought was not long. Although the momentum was huge, the battle ended in just a few breaths.
Everyone was not stupid. From Reida's concession, they could analyze a lot of things. The two had reached some kind of agreement, and this agreement made the two who were originally hostile to each other let go of their grievances.
After the guards figured everything out, they dispersed directly and went to their respective posts, no longer watching.
Elena fell into silence. She didn't expect Roa to be so fierce. Faced with the obstruction of the Water God, he chose to fight head-on, and he even made the Water God have no temper at all.
She was slapped in the face in front of her own yard, and looking at this posture, the Water God really planned to endure this.
And what did she just hear?
Roa actually wanted the Water God to participate in the battle for the throne, and wanted to use bringing Isolte by his side as a bargaining chip to make the Water God support Ariel.
Almost at this moment, Elena seriously suspected that Roa had some kind of PY deal with Princess Ariel, but after thinking about it carefully, Roa's visit this time should be the first time, and recalling Ariel's daily life, she didn't look like she knew Roa at all.
Elena fell into the same question as Reida, how did the two people who could not have any intersection get together.
Roa shrugged, patted Elena on the shoulder, and said, "In short, that's what you see now, don't be dazed, take me to find Ariel quickly."
Elena came back to her senses. Although there were still many confusions in her mind, it was indeed as Roa said, now was not the time to think about these things.
Roa turned his gaze to Isolte again, thought for a while, and threw the long sword in his hand to Isolte. Isolte took Roa's long sword with a blank expression. Those bright eyes looked at Roa, not understanding what Roa meant.
Roa said seriously, "From now on, you will hold my sword and follow me. If you meet someone who challenges me, you go first. If you can't beat them, I will take action."
Isolte nodded, looked at the simple long sword in her hand. The long sword was wrapped in a scabbard. The Windpipe was undoubtedly an extremely excellent long sword, but wrapped in this black scabbard, who could imagine that this long sword without any bright spots contained a divine weapon that would seal the throat with blood?
Feeling the heavy weapon in her hand, Isolte turned her head to look for Reida's figure, but Reida had left here, and only Roa and a few of them were left in the field.
Biting her lip, Isolte took a deep breath and stepped towards Roa's location. Isolte was also wearing a suit of armor, which looked very similar to Elena's armor. The quality was not clear, but it looked quite good.
There was no expression on Isolte's face. The girl stood silently next to Roa, holding the long sword in her arms, like a clay figure, following behind Roa.
Elena ran to Isolte, stretched out her hand and shook it. Elena teased, "Hey, future Water God, why do you look so unhappy?"
Isolte didn't speak, just stared coldly at the smug guy in front of her.
Roa was a little speechless, stretched out his hand to grab Elena's armor, pulled her in front of him, and said dissatisfied, "Hurry up and take me to see your Ariel."
