Chapter 301: The Mysterious Sterling
So what are the two who could be helpers doing now?
Lu Fan looked at the round arena in front of him that looked like ancient Rome, holding something like popcorn that he had just bought on the side of the road, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
"This is where the duel will be in two days? It's quite lively. ”
Even though Lu Fan had seen a lot of people in the city, he was still shocked by the crowd in front of him.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the arena, and there seemed to be a dealer who had set up a gambling game around, shouting loudly.
There are not many entertainment items for people from the other world, and the arena is very popular in many large cities as a place where you can gamble and watch.
In addition to the battles decided by both sides, some wealthy nobles would come here with their servants to participate in duels.
"Speaking of which, sir has not been to these places all along. ”
Xiao Qian looked at Lu Fan, who was shocked, and only then did she remember a little, it seems that since she knew Mr., except for a few short days in the Wusa Empire, Mr. has never been to these places......
"It's kind of interesting......"
Lu Fan nodded noncommittally.
Finally lined up in a long line and walked into the arena, and as soon as he sat down in his position, Lu Fan saw the fierce battle in the circular arena below.
It's a battle between a giant strong man and a skinny little man.
And when Lu Fan sat down, the strong man with two giant axes had already smashed the little man's long sword into a strange-shaped iron rod.
"Beat him up!
"Give him some color, Champion!"
The surrounding audience also shouted and cheered, and it was obvious that the strong man in the audience was a celebrity.
As for the little man...... Dressed in black, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he was obviously not favored by everyone.
And now he is fleeing all over the field, and without weapons, he obviously has no power to fight back.
That's what most people on the field think.
"This person seems to be a little familiar......"
Lu Fan's eyes have been on the little man's body, I don't know why, he always feels that he has seen this person somewhere, although he can't see the face, but he must have seen it recently.
The black-haired girl on the side squinted carefully for a while, and suddenly laughed softly.
Just at the same time, a laugh rang out.
The girl looked at the man sitting next to her right, this was a handsome blonde man, and he was also looking at Xiao Qian at this time, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Fan looked at the girl, then at the two people on the field, scratched his head, and asked with a strange expression.
"That strong man is going to lose. ”
The girl ignored the man and turned to Lu Fan and said.
Going to lose?
Hearing the girl's words, Lu Fan also took his attention away from the little man and carefully watched the situation in the beginning.
Truly.
The strong man seemed to have taken all the advantages, and the small man's weapons were not only abolished, but even the soft armor on his body appeared several cuts.
It's just that the careful Lu Fan found that the strong man was actually out of breath, and the two pillar-thick arms were also bruised, and the speed of swinging was getting slower and slower.
"The energy is overused...... They are already level 6 swordsmen, and the control of Yuan Qi is so poor...... It's really disappointing. ”
At this moment, Lu Fan heard the voice of the man on the side shaking his head.
Although the voice was very soft, Lu Fan still caught it keenly.
This guy isn't easy.
Sure enough, just after a slam blow from the strong man, his weapon sank deep into the ground, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.
And the little man obviously wouldn't let go of this opportunity, a silver light flashed, and two huge wounds appeared on the two arms of the strong man.
"I actually left my hand......" The girl's eyes flickered slightly, with the speed of the little man just now, it should be enough to cut off the two arms of this strong man directly.
The strong man's hands were in pain, and he could no longer hold the weapon, and at this moment, a dagger was already against his neck.
The masked little man had already appeared behind the strong man, and it was naturally him who was holding the dagger.
"It's over. ”
Lu Fan could also see that at least from the moment the two giant axes fell, all the movements of the little man were clearly grasped by him.
The speed is good, this is a guy who specializes in speed, and it's no wonder that he is so deflated when he comes up.
And the surrounding masses obviously couldn't believe that the strong man who had an absolute advantage just now had lost in a blink of an eye.
Immediately afterward, infinite anger erupted from the mouths of the group.
"It's noisy..."
The man on the side left his seat dissatisfied, but when he got up, he glanced at Lu Fan and the others again.
Feeling the gaze from the side, Xiao Qian raised her head and looked directly into the man's gaze.
This man... Why do you always pay attention to me and sir?
Feeling the girl's gaze as well, the man nodded politely to the girl and turned to leave his seat.
"This guy, give me a seed..."Lu Fan looked at the blonde man who left the crowd, "It's a nasty feeling." ”
I don't know where this feeling comes from, though.
"Killers. ”
Akane exhaled, as if the man was putting a lot of pressure on him.
"Killer?"
Lu Fan showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that handsome guy to be a killer.
"His strength is very high, I can't see it, and although he hides it well, I can still feel the faint smell of blood on his body, which I don't know how many people have killed...... This feeling has also been felt in Sister Suzu's body. ”
"......" Lu Fan touched his chin and was thinking about whether to follow this person.
However, at this moment, the victory or defeat had already been announced on the field, and Lu Fan's attention was immediately attracted to it.
The little man...... It turned out to be really an acquaintance.
"Let's go. ”
Seeing the appearance of the little man, Lu Fan laughed, got up and pressed the girl's head.
Although the girl showed a puzzled face, she didn't ask too much, and picked up the giant sword next to the chair and got up to follow.
"This wave is really profitable...... Half a year's travel expenses are available, and if you have this job, you won't be a killer if you know it......"
In the lounge, the little man was carrying a bag of gold coins, counting the number of them, and one side of his face was printed with a golden glow.
"If you're so short of money, why don't you help me with something?" Sterling?"
And at this moment, a voice that was both familiar and frightening to him sounded, and his hands could not help but tremble, and the gold coin bag fell off his hand and fell to the ground.
Lu Fan stretched out his hand to catch the gold coin bag, checked it in his hand, and looked at the familiar person in front of him.
It can't be said to be familiar now, if it weren't for the fact that he was facing himself head-on when he announced the winner just now, Lu Fan would not have recognized this person with a mask as Sterling.
This person had always given him the impression that he was a very timid rookie, and although his strength was already level 6 according to himself, Lu Fan didn't take it to heart.
And the performance in the fighting arena made Lu Fan reacquaint himself with this rookie.
No, he can't be defined by the label of rookie anymore.
The skillful fighting skills and the relaxed and freehand battle process all made Lu Fan begin to suspect that the guy who was caught red-handed by himself and Xiaoqian on the wall a year ago was disguised.
And he has never shown any confidence in front of Lu Fan, just like a tool man.
"Silver...... Lord Lu Fan!"
Seeing Lu Fan who seemed to be smiling in front of him, Sterling was startled at first, and then immediately shouted respectfully, even if he had a mask on his face, Lu Fan felt that he could see the smile on his face.
"What are you doing here, you're short of money, you need to make some extra money here?"
Seeing that Lu Fan didn't respond to him immediately, he immediately continued to ask, but his eyes were already fixed on the money bag in Lu Fan's hand.
"I'm not short of money. ”
Lu Fan scolded with a smile and threw the money bag back, "It's you, don't do your killer, fight here, and the skills are not bad...... Is there a secret I can't know......?"
"Where...... Where is this kind of thing......" A look of panic flashed in Sterling's eyes, but he was immediately filled with smiles, "You know, a guy like me who eats the last meal and doesn't eat the next meal will always be very short of money......"
"So Mr. said, come and do it with us, there should still be a lot of manpower on the side of the Yes Empire, I think your strength is quite good, is there any problem?" Obviously, Xiao Qian also felt that this guy who was full of running trains was very unreliable, so she interrupted him.
"Uh......"
Sterling was obviously a little embarrassed, he glanced at Lu Fan, then at Xiao Qian, and said cautiously: "If I am asked to join a certain force, it will be difficult to obey my fate." ”
"Huh?" Lu Fan showed a look that he thought was intimidating and terrifying.
“...... Of course, if it's to follow the adults, I'm still very interested. ”
Sterling's tone quickly changed.
"No way!"
Hearing this, Xiao Qian subconsciously denied his words.
Lu Fan was stunned, he hadn't reacted to what Sterling meant just now, and the black-haired girl's sudden refusal made him even more strange.
The girl obviously realized that there was something wrong with her reaction, her face turned red all of a sudden, and her speech was a little stumbling: "We...... Sir has another important thing, I don't need too many people around......"
Seeing the girl's shy appearance, although Lu Fan didn't know the specific reason, he still smiled and pressed the girl's head, and her hair was about to explode.
"Actually, I'm more curious about why His Excellency Sterling is hiding his strength. ”
Lu Fan finally said his true intentions.
Sterling's face changed at first, then showed a helpless expression, and said slowly: "...... For adults, it doesn't seem necessary to hide my strength or not. ”
"That's still a little different, strength can be hidden, and deliberately pretending to be cowardly will make people a little suspicious. ”
Lu Fan shook his head as he saved his hand from the mouth of the fried girl.
This kid is starting to bite when he's in a hurry, and it hurts......
“...... In any case, I have no ill will towards the adults. ”
As soon as the words fell, Sterling took the initiative to take off his mask, revealing the face that Lu Fan had seen several times before.
