Chapter Seventy-Nine: No Bottom Line
News of Huey's challenge to Arthur quickly spread throughout the Academy.
This is not only a contest between two people, but also a contest of the strength of the academy's magic department and the martial arts department, and every competition between magicians and martial artists has attracted the attention of students and even professors on both sides.
As the two most powerful of the four wonders of this year's freshmen, the battle between the two is basically the battle of the king of wonders.
Although the King of Wonders is a title made by the students in private, it is also recognized as the strongest by this class of freshmen, and every Wonderful King who comes out of the academy is the object of competition for the wealthy nobles of the kingdom.
On the third day of the martial arts competition in the magic department, Arthur became the focus of attention as soon as he appeared, and almost every gaze that looked at him was eager.
Regardless of whether they had a crush on Arthur before, Arthur represented the Department of Magic, and once Arthur won the competition with Huey, all the students of the Department of Magic would feel like they were a head above the students of the Martial Arts Department.
Moral went directly to Arthur's side, "Boss, you deliberately went over there to provoke yesterday, right? You must take me with you next time, I can still help you if you really want to fight." ”
Arthur directly gave Moral a roll of the eye as an answer, and Moral, who had won two matches in the tournament, had already begun to swell.
Morar didn't have this kind of awareness, and continued with a calm face: "Boss, do you know, this matter is simply too sensational, I heard that it has alarmed the vice presidents on both sides, Harry Sr. and Morey. ”
Arthur was a little surprised, he always thought that his battle with Huey was just a child's game in the eyes of the academy's higher-ups, and at most it attracted the interference of Professor Ogu.
"What is the attitude of old Harry?" Arthur asked curiously.
"I heard that the two vice presidents have acquiesced to the competition between you and Huey, and they have made a bet, and it is said that the bet is not small. ”
Arthur looked incredulous, "Who are you listening to, how can a bet between the two vice deans reach the ears of one of your students?"
"Don't believe it, I have reliable sources of information anyway. Not only is the vice president making a bet, but there are also people in the academy who will win in the end, and I heard that there are many professors involved. ”
Arthur suddenly became interested, Arthur, who had mixed with Tony and them before, was no stranger to these at all, "Who's bigger?"
"Boss, you're one to five, Huey is one to one. ”
Arthur said thoughtfully, "So they still think Huey has a better chance of winning?"
Morar thought that Arthur minded and persuaded him: "The main reason is that there are many students in the martial arts department, and there are many people who press Huey's victory, so the dealer deliberately lowered Huey's odds, but our side supports you to win." ”
Arthur bowed his head and said nothing.
"Boss, you must defeat that orc, I bet you on winning with 100 gold coins!"
Arthur rolled his eyes twice, hooked his finger at Moral, brought him closer to him, lowered his voice and said, "You press 1000 gold coins for me, Huey!"
"Ahh
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"Boss, you have to think clearly, that's the King of Wonders, and the face of all the students in our magic department!" Moral blushed.
"Can the King of Wonders be eaten?" Arthur had never taken these titles to heart, and that period of life as a young mercenary had left a deep imprint on his thoughts, "False names are never as important as gold coins!"
"You can also win with 1,000 gold coins, but be sure to spread the bet, don't surprise or collapse the dealer. ”
"No. 2 pick, No. 3 ......" Austin on the stage has begun to count down.
"Remember what I said, press Huey to win. Arthur gave another command before hurriedly jumping onto the stage.
As soon as he looked up, Arthur was stunned, and Joan, the fool, was looking at himself with a smile.
After Golly and Huey, the other two strange flowers also met in advance.
Both looked at each other with smiles, and even after the Austin Grand Wizard announced the start, the two had no intention of making a move.
"Let's discuss, you don't use the Fire Dragon Scroll, how about we fight with our real skills?"
"I'm not a fool, why should I give up what I'm good at. ”
Arthur glanced at Joan fiercely, and scolded in his heart: "What you are good at is smashing with gold coins!"
"In that case, don't smash it with the fire dragon technique, you give me the money of the magic scroll directly at a discount, and I admit defeat and let you win. ”
"How much do you want?"
"You know my abilities and magic equipment, if you really want to fight, you may not be able to win with six fire dragon techniques, right? Between brothers, I will count you cheaper, and I will give you 3,000 gold coins in this game!"
Joan thought about it seriously, "Deal." ”
"Let's do it. ”
Joan really didn't use the magic scroll again this time, but slowly threw out a "beaded fireball", and the three fireballs shot at Arthur in the shape of a "pin".
"Oops, that's amazing!" Arthur turned and ran, jumping straight off the jousting ring.
As the examiner, the Austin Grand Magician's nose was almost crooked, and the two of them openly negotiated the price and cheated in front of themselves, "If you two little bastards fall into my hands, see how I clean you up!"
The duel between the two strange ones ended like a child's play, disappointing the students who were waiting to see a wonderful duel like yesterday's strange battle.
"Boss, you're too bottomless now, aren't you?"
Arthur smiled bitterly, "I really can't win this time, that fool keeps smashing the fire dragon technique, and I can't get close to him, it's better to fool him directly for 3,000 gold coins, even if I win the prize in the end, it's not this number!"
"Boss, I'm really convinced of you now!" Moral gave Arthur a thumbs up.
......
Inside the College Library.
As soon as the magic array flashed, old Harry appeared at Sarain's table, picked up the fragrant teacup on the table, tilted his head and poured it all into his mouth.
"Calm your mind, comb your meridians, and improve your perception, Youbi Tea is really a good thing!" Old Harry was still snorting with his eyes closed.
"I heard you made a bet with Vice Dean Morey?" asked Shalene looking up.
"Oh, why don't you play cards according to the routine, I praise the tea, shouldn't you say give me some?"
Salyn laughed and said, "But I don't have anything extra, maybe I won't be able to drink it in the future, that place is becoming more and more unstable." ”
"It's a shame to have such a good thing!" said old Harry, smacking his lips and shaking his head, but did not continue to answer Saraen's words, "You know about the bet?"
"Isn't it the news that you deliberately released it yourself? I'm really curious what you gambled with him and need to make it known?"
"His earth-level high-grade exercise 'Flame Heavenly Thunder' does not spread a little wider, and I am worried that he will not admit it if he loses. Old Harry said smugly.
"He's willing to take out his housekeeping skills?" said Salyn's tone full of surprise.
"No matter how powerful the exercises are, they will die, and he still wants to take them to the coffin? Not to mention that the things I took out to bet on are also worth his fight. ”
"You're really bothering about that kid. ”
Old Harry let out a long sigh, "That bastard from Keynes has been gone for a few years, and there hasn't been even a message. I didn't understand what he meant by sending that kid here when he left me?"
Shalene pondered for a while, then slowly spoke, "There's something I haven't had time to tell you yet, and I want Arthur to do it for me. ”
As soon as Saran spoke, Old Harry's eyebrows rose, "No, I don't agree, you have no way back from that!"
