vs 204 Believer 4
In the audience, the priest noticed a number of problems. Several believers were surrounding him, and one by one they wanted to stop talking. It must be noted that this look of resignation does not conflict with the ecstasy on their faces.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?" The ring had not yet begun, and one of the fighters seemed to have something to offer, causing the fight to drag on a bit. The audience doesn't have much of an opinion on this, and it is important to know that this kind of thing, although uncommon, is not uncommon, and it happens a few times a day.
Anyway, for the spectators, they had a little time to make small talk before enjoying the final game of the night.
This kind of competition, no matter what it is for, but it is indeed an exciting and interesting competition for the audience, and it is very popular.
"That...... Your Excellency," although the priest himself was a complete commoner, this did not prevent others from addressing him with the honorific title of "Your Excellency," and he himself accepted it safely," and God gave me the ...... Tonight, that man named Lu Wu will emerge victorious......"
"Oh, that's good, you can bet on him to win. "Actually, the priest himself doesn't care about today's income, after all, because of the moon near the water, he doesn't care about a certain game for a long time. Anyway, God's guidance is never wrong - of course, if it is wrong, is it still called an oracle? Sometimes the oracle is vague, but sometimes, especially when the gods are pleased, it is very clear and understandable, and it can never be understood.
"The question is...... There's a little confusion here. Several men exchanged glances with each other, and one of them spoke. "This is his second match, and the Supreme Lord's guidance is that Lu Wu will win one match today. ”
"Nonsense, the Supreme Holy Lord is saying that Lu Wu will win the game, not 'a game'!" the other retorted angrily.
"He won the first game?" the priest asked casually. He now understands what everyone is arguing about. That is, whether Lu Wu will "win the game" or "win the game" tonight. In other words, whether Lu Wu will win or lose this game.
There should be no such argument, but human nature is inherently not content. They had already won a gamble, been saved from the mire of death, and had their feet on solid land. But in the blink of an eye, their greed forced them to go like moths to a fire, to another unpredictable quagmire.
Whether it is "winning the game" or "winning the game" is completely different opinions from person to person. When they couldn't convince each other, they chose to let the priests judge.
"The Supreme Holy Lord said that Lu Wu would win......" The priest didn't really want to answer this question. God saved them once, but charisma is always scarce, and no god can respond to the believer's request. True greed is impossible for even God to satisfy. Don't let that kind of believer go. "In that case, Lu Wu must either have strength or luck. ”
He vaguely confused the issue, and then, the small problems that had prevented the start of the bout seemed to be resolved, as the bout was about to start, the cheers of the crowd began to grow, and everyone knew that this was not a match between newcomers, one of whom had already won multiple times and proved his ability by his actual results.
Of course, Lu Wu in the ring didn't know what was going on below, he was just puzzled by the "raise" proposed by his opponent.
"What do you mean?" Lu Wu asked the master in a stolen voice. Don't look at the master's body (that is, the mobile phone) in the lounge at the back at this time, but on the one hand, it is a Bluetooth headset, and on the other hand, it is the master's perception ability, so there is still no problem with the dialogue between the two sides.
"Partner, have you forgotten the agreement?" said the master softly. "The opponent is not a newcomer, but a mid-range player, and he has the right to raise. ”
Lu Wu had to admit that he hadn't studied it very closely, after all, his current rank was a rookie, and there didn't seem to be any need to know about it before he had won enough victories.
"He has the power to raise," the master explained. "Raise and make this game a little bit more valuable. Partner, you must follow, otherwise it is tantamount to automatically admitting defeat. ”
"Why did he raise?" Lu Wu was puzzled.
"Obviously he saw your first game. The master replied. "Know you have at least two magic rings in your hand. So he wanted to win two at a time. ”
While speaking, a staff member had already come up, and the high-ranking warlock who had been standing outside the ring, looking at everyone with a boring expression, seemed to be a little moved this time. One ring at a time may be a satisfying trophy for rookie fighters, but for veterans, it's a bit inadequate. So the arena offers this service.
A staff member walked up and said, "What do you want to raise?" he asked.
"A magic ring. Lu Wu's opponent took out another ring from his body, put it in the staff member's hand, and then pointed to Lu Wu. "I know you also have a ring that you just won tonight. ”
Lu Wu also took out the ring he had just won and handed it to the staff. "Master, what if I exchange the ring I won for money and he doesn't notice?"
"Partner, you really didn't pay attention to those terms at all?" the master simply sighed. "Don't worry, you just have to offer something about the same price. ”
"If only I had been poor," Lu Wu said. "What if you can't provide something of the equivalent price?"
"It's too simple, just promise to pledge your most valuable property. The master replied. "That's the limit, it's the arena, it's not poker stud. Everyone competes in martial arts and martial arts, not on how much money they have. How can you win with a lot of money?"
"Game on!"
After this announcement, the opponent walked up slowly, moving his joints as he went, but stopped in midfield.
"You're not a fighter at all. He said, his eyes fixed on Lu Wu. Both of them were wearing short clothes, so they could easily identify their shapes. Lu Wu's figure is obviously thin compared to his opponent, and the most important thing is that he does not so much reveal a fierce aura as a scholarly aura. "If you admit defeat, you will suffer less. ”
If the rings of the two people are removed, Lu Wu estimates that ten of them will not be able to beat each other. The other party had a well-proportioned body, a thick neck, and muscles bulging high under thin clothing, as strong as a cow, and was obviously a person who had been professionally trained in physical aspects. Moreover, judging from his words and deeds, as well as the calluses that can be seen at a glance on his palms, he is afraid that he has spent more than a little or two points on exercise. However, both Amber and the master have long said that when the magic ring gives humans superhuman powers, all the original physical conditions have been canceled. Everyone is put on the same starting line, and there is no difference.
Even, those who have not practiced have an advantage over those who have practiced. Because they are freer, their minds are not limited by their inherent moves, and they do not have instinctive muscle reflexes, and they are able to do all kinds of things beyond imagination. A fat man who looks like a fat guy is likely to be more powerful than those brave and fierce professional martial artists.
However, this is an objective evaluation that does not take into account the psychology. And psychological problems are always a major key to competitive competitions. Not to mention anything else, a person who is not good at fighting, seeing this strong and capable physique in front of him without other preparations, is probably subconsciously a little stage frightened, and when it comes to fighting, he only has the ability to parry and has no power to fight back. This is an instinctive and knee-jerk reaction that has been cultivated by humans for a long time, and it is extremely difficult to overcome.
The reason why Lu Wu still has time to think about it at the moment, instead of being shocked by the other party's physique, is entirely because of the special training he had with Amber before. He was like a puppet and a pillow, and he was used as a toy by amber, and he was almost afraid of women. However, thanks to this experience, when he saw such an opponent, he did not have any stage fright at all. Anyway, the real strength is not in the arms, and there is no point in being tall and muscular.
Instead, Lu Wu was recalling Amber's introduction to him at that time, and suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have overlooked something...... Also, it's been a day since he said it, and he's already told Ivan about his temporary inability to go back, and I think Ivan will tell the red clothes. But I don't know if he will tell Amber...... How is Amber now?
Suddenly, it dawned on him that Amber seemed to have been snubbed all this time.
……
The living area of the Floating Fortress has been partially sorted out.
It's really true that this giant machine is called a "floating fortress". It's big enough to hold a lot of people and a lot of supplies, and all sorts of equipment. Especially people. Leaving everything else aside, the number of normal operators of the Floating Fortress is as high as 1,000.
Of course, it is not impossible to not have enough people, after all, this is the crystallization of high technology, and there are many systems that can switch between manual and automatic. At least it's not a problem on a daily basis. It's just that once the real war comes, both manual and automatic must be in place at the same time - no one will be happy to hear the news that the other side will scrap the operational capabilities of our multiple systems with a single shot of the main gun.
In short, the restoration of living conditions is a priority, if not for the future, but only for the immediate repair work. Because of the problem of accommodation every day, it is really troublesome to go up and down. Even if it is hidden, after changing the repair process, the matter is also prioritized.
The Sixteenth Legion has already sent quite a few people to help. Repairs on the ground and in the air are two different things, with the latter requiring more manpower – among other things, the transportation of supplies alone is an additional burden. Although professional soldiers say that they do not know anything about technology, they are still able to do some hard work more or less.
At this time, it is already night, and there may be people busy working in other areas, but in this living area, it is already silent.
Amber sat in her room, her hands clasped on her knees, looking at the empty void in front of her with some confusion. In her ears, she could clearly hear the dripping of water from the air conditioning system—after all, the Floating Fortress had been hit hard by the fall, and many pipes had to break. In the maintenance plan, these bits and pieces of inconsequential things are listed at the last step, and they are barely operational at the moment.
Tick tock, tick tock, the time is almost up.
That was what she saw in Lu Wu with her magic power, and the future that would inevitably come. In fact, it cannot be said to be "inevitable", because at that time, there was still a lot of room for maneuver, and there were many fragments in the future, just like a big tree has many branches and leaves. But after perceiving the future she needed, she has been pushing in this direction without sparing. Now, the countless branches of the tree have been cut off one by one, and what remains is the picture she was looking forward to.
In that scene, she waited for the person she was looking for—no complicated process, no dangerous journey, as long as she followed this path of fate, the person who could help her would appear at the Banshee's Gate and meet Amber.
If that's all, there's really nothing to hesitate about, but it's not that simple. At the same time that Amber finds his savior, Lu Wu will also usher in his real test. That's right, as an earthling from another world, and as a fellow party of Kaicha Goyat (or Kecha Goat's last resort and hope), Lu Wu's true identity will be completely exposed.
These two futures are intertwined, tightly intertwined, and have a close causal relationship, not the ivy tightly wrapped around the oak tree (a connection that may be broken), but like oil into water, completely tightly integrated, and even Amber immediately understands at a glance that it is impossible to separate the two.
Her savior is the end of Lu Wu.
