At this moment, the meeting room fell into a silence.
Sean could feel a strong, oppressive breath in the air spreading at a very fast speed.
"Star Locke?"
"Isn't Locke dead?"
"How many years have it been..."
"At least a hundred years?"
Shiran's eyebrows frowned, and the color of his anger gradually faded into a dignified color. He just stared at egger, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "are you sure? Is it really star Locke? "
Sean noticed that Silan's tone was particularly heavy and solemn, and even a bit of deep uneasiness. However, his face did not show any strange look. It seemed that he was just a little tricky because of the unexpected figure's appearance - Sean's eyes swept all the people present in the conference room one by one, and then he was surprised to find that none of these guys could really feel the uneasiness in Silan's tone.
They all expressed their fear and uneasiness clearly on their faces, with theout any concealment.
This made Sean, who was used to the atmosphere of intrigue in the land boundary, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Floating island people, how simple are they?
Sean didn't know how famous Locke was before. The only thing he knew was that he had made a hand with him before. However, because there were real eyes, Sean didn't feel how strong Locke was. On the contrary, he couldn't get any benefit at all under his men, so he had to choose to stay away in the end - from Sean's point of view, if he hadn't been present at that time, I'm afraid the team of Edgar and pyles would have been destroyed.
"I'm sure." Egger stood upright, somewhat military.
"Did you fight him?" Silan asked in a deep voice.
"No." Egger shook his head slightly.
"How do you know it's Locke?" Silan's face sank slightly.
"He showed his true face." Egger said in a deep voice, "he was supposed to raid me, but Sean stopped him."
"Sean?" Silan frowned and then turned his eyes to Sean standing next to Edgar. "Is that him?"
"Yes." Egger nodded.
At this time, all the people sitting in the conference room turned their eyes to Sean. But the look as like as two peas on each face, is only distrust and alert, and it is the same as Sean's appearance on all the floating people on the floating island.
Even Silan frowned.
But this guy who looks very hot tempered seems to have a more delicate mind and a slightly deep mind, because his eyebrows are not wrinkled and do not show the vigilance and hostility like others. It was only the contempt hidden in the depths of his eyes, but he could not escape Sean's observation after all - of course, if you count the orange halo revealed by the real eyes, Sean can be sure that the attitude of the floating island people towards the local residents will never be friendly.
"You stopped Locke?" Shiran said calmly, his head slightly raised, showing some arrogance.
Sean didn't answer, just looked at Silan calmly.
This is a middle-aged man who looks about thirty years old, but Sean knows his actual age is definitely more than that, because he is a superior saint. According to egger, Silan is a strong man who can compete with Levi, which means that Silan's combat experience and martial arts are also outstanding, at least ahead of many others such as egger and pyles.
However, the realm of Holy Land and personal strength can no longer represent everything. What can really represent "Absolutism" is only the perception of law. Although the superior Holy Land strongman has a slightly higher understanding of the law than the lower and middle Holy Land strongmen, the examples of the lower and middle Holy Land strongmen killing the superior Holy Land strongman are not rare. Because of this, pilus dared to challenge Levi with his wild blood, and even ignored the so-called top ten in the comprehensive list of floating Saint college.
Of course, he is indeed a genius himself.
And Silan is undoubtedly a member of the ranks of "genius".
But in Sean's view, the reason why Shiran refused to become the so-called top ten of the college was just that he couldn't stand the humiliation of failure. Of course, it does not hide the idea of failure - for example, "strong people like me are not listed in the top ten of the college, and the so-called top ten of the college 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.
Looking at Sean's impolite eyes, Silan's face sank and showed some impatience: "I'm asking you!"
Sean's face was somewhat ironic: "who's to ask? I didn't hear anyone talking to me. "
This attitude instantly made everyone in the whole conference room dissatisfied, and many people were extremely angry.
Edgar looked at Sean with a deep helpless look in his eyes. Although he and Sean haven't known each other for two days and haven't had a deep contact, he really knows Sean's character. Although Sean looks good and easy-going, this guy is really proud. If you don't respect him, he won't respect you either.
It's right that the floating islanders respect the strong, but the floating islanders also have a kind of superiority and arrogance from their bones. In their view, the local people belong to inferior existence. So no one will respect Sean until he has seen his strength.
Therefore, Edgar, who was caught in the middle, seemed quite helpless.
"Lord Silan, allow me to say a word." With a slight cough, egger could only speak when he saw that there was likely to be a big fight in the conference room.
"Say!" Silan looked away from Sean, turned to egger and shouted coldly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the sarcasm on Sean's face became more obvious.
Others may not see it, but Sean knows it clearly. Although Silan seems very angry, he doesn't have the idea of fighting with himself at all. Although the feeling is not necessarily accurate, Sean's intuition is telling him that Silan seems to be afraid to fight with himself, so egger's opening is tantamount to giving Silan a step down.
At this moment, Sean seemed to understand why Silan was not Levi's opponent.
Because Silan is too smart, it doesn't seem to be the style of floating Islanders. He always takes many factors into account in his work and keeps himself in the most favorable state forever. Therefore, he needs to spend a lot of mind to calculate. Naturally, he has no time to practice martial arts. Similarly, it lacks the indomitable and desperate momentum like Levi. Most of the time, he always chooses to protect his life first.
And such people, no matter how talented they are, their achievements are bound to be limited.
So, when Silan was defeated by Levi, he was doomed to surpass Levi in this life. Therefore, Sean can probably understand the reason why egger told him that the relationship between Silan and levy is still good. It's not that Silan is really so magnanimous and ignores the shame of losing to Levi, but that he is too smart. Being friends with Levi is more beneficial to his reputation.
"Mr. Sean is a friend of Lord levy. It seems that Lord levy brought him back to the floating island this time." Said egger.
"Levi?" Silan was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "Levi is unconscious now. How can he prove it?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Egger said, "Levi was surrounded only by Mr. Sean, and it was Mr. Sean who was protecting Levi. In addition, Mr. Sean helped me a lot along the way... To tell you the truth, if Mr. Sean wasn't there, I'm afraid neither Bierce nor I could survive. After all, the situation at that time was that we were all watched by Locke. "
"You mean..." Silan's pupils shrunk slightly. "Sean beat back Locke?"
"Yes." Egger nodded. "It was the front that drove Locke back, forcing Locke to choose to retreat. And judging from the situation at that time, Locke seemed to be very cautious about Mr. Sean. As for the specific reason... I don't know. After all, I wasn't the one who was fighting Locke. "
The meeting room was immediately in chaos like a fryer.
Everyone looked at Sean in disbelief, and the noisy discussion did not avoid the presence of Sean, one of the parties. In general, these people can't believe that Sean can defeat Locke, and it's still in front of him. After all, for them, Locke's reputation is like a special existence like a legend, which is their spiritual symbol and pride.
But now, there is a person who says in front of them that the spiritual symbol they worship has been defeated by a land boundary person they despise. How can the proud floating island people accept it?
Sean believed that if the person who said this at this time was not Edgar, one of the top ten of the floating Saint college, he would be called a traitor by them. Maybe it will become the same as those rebels who are thrown to do some hard work, and the same accompanying Sean will be imprisoned or challenged by them.
But now, all the things Sean guessed, did not appear.
Floating islanders do have their own pride.
Their pride comes from their soul, blood and race. This pride is the fundamental reason why the floating islanders have been standing for so many years without degradation or decline. They may be arrogant and slow, but that doesn't mean they can't accept other people's opinions, nor does it mean they will be arrogant.
Maybe egger's reputation is worth ensuring, so when he said these words, even if the pride they once believed in was broken, they didn't clamor to duel with Sean or do other reckless acts. Especially when Silan raised his hands and slowly pressed them, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided. Their eyes at Sean were no longer as vigilant and distrustful as before, but only a kind of respect for the strong.
To tell the truth, Sean can't understand the thinking of floating island people at all.
Because they are so different from the habits of the land boundary.
As Sean, who has been used to the game's "red name is strange, just do it directly", "PK if you don't accept it" and the land boundary's kind of "superficial alliance, secretly tripping each other" or simply arrogance, he feels that these floating islanders are just like saints. Of course, crazy people like pyles and smart guys like Silan are exceptions - but it also proves that wonderful flowers will never be lacking in the world.
"Please forgive our impoliteness." Silan pressed his hands across his chest and bowed slightly.
This is a very ancient ritual of worshipping gods. It is said that it is a ritual of the gods and people when they salute the gods in the dawn era - of course, that ritual is much more complicated. Today, this ritual retained on the floating island has been simplified countless times. The aristocratic ceremony on the land boundary is the product of this worship ceremony. Its simplicity is simpler than that of the people on the floating island, but it is slightly better in the degree of elegance.
With the salute of Shiran, the other floating Islanders in the conference room got up and saluted Sean. Even Edgar, 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 took it for granted. However, virtually, this move also implicitly conforms to the behavior benchmark of the strong on the floating island - of course, if it is in the boundary, many people will secretly gossip about Sean's attitude, but on the floating island, everything seems very normal.
The only thing to say about dissatisfaction is probably Silan.
But at this time, Sean not only showed the pride and attitude of the strong, but also had egger testify. No matter what aspect, Silan naturally won't take this topic again. As a shrewd character, Silan will only defeat his opponents in his field of expertise, but will never venture into the field he is not good at to provoke - if his halo had not changed from orange to light red, Sean would have been deceived by his sincere expression.
Looking at Shiran's performance, Sean couldn't help thinking of Sean hastin.
But when it comes to acting, the guy named the traitor of the Hastings family is better.
