Chapter 34: A Break in the Rare Peace
"Please accept me as a disciple! Please! ”
Zhou Yan sat on the chair, supported his chin with his hands, and deliberately turned his gaze to the side.
He's distressed right now. Although part of it came from the young man in front of him who suddenly found him for some reason and insisted on accepting him as a disciple himself. But it's only a tiny fraction.
Zhou Yan's real distress came from Louise, who had only left for a long time before the arrival of this young man.
That day, after waking up after a battle with Zhao Fukong, Zhou Yantong Guò Louise was puzzled in many ways. However, Louise didn't stay alone to talk to Zhou Yan just to clear his mind.
She still has a request, or a deal?
Time goes back to that day.
The noisy prince Sairukay had been dragged away by Margaret, and Zhou Yan was still in great shock about it.
However, after asking a certain question, he was threatened by Louise with a smiling expression. Zhou Yan, who sensed some kind of crisis, wisely closed his mouth.
Louise sighed, not knowing what she was worried about. At this time, she no longer had a trace of liveliness, and her frowning made her look full of exhaustion.
"So, can you grant me a request?" Louise looked directly into Zhou Yan's eyes, her blue eyes flashing with a light called determination.
"If I can do it, I'll try my best." Zhou Yan did not rashly agree, but took a cautious attitude.
Louise nodded, and said with an extremely serious expression, "Please win the championship of the Stardy Martial Arts that will be held next month." ”
Zhou Yan, who heard this term for the first time, couldn't help but be stunned: "Stadi's martial arts show? ”
"Yes." Louise smiled: "Of course, you don't have to promise me now, it's better to understand it first, and think about it before answering me." ”
After that, Zhou Yan went to learn about the Stadi martial arts as Louise said.
It was a continent-wide event organized by the Stadi Academy, a neutral place between the three great nations of mankind. All races except the demons can participate.
The festival is held every 10 years, and although there is no race limit, there is a limit to age. Among the participants, for example, human beings were prescribed to be fifteen to thirty years old. As for other races that have a longer or shorter lifespan than humans, the age is limited according to proportion.
The eventual winner will be crowned king. Of course, the title of this king has nothing to do with politics, but is just a symbol of honor. As a grand event that almost the whole continent will boil over, the winner will not get a name. Every year, the Stadi Academy, as the organizer, comes up with a prize that is enough to cause a sensation.
The prize for the champion of the last martial arts tournament was something called "Divine Realm Fragment", which is said to allow people to enter the world where the gods are located for a short time. And that thing, in the end, was won by the current Juggernaut of the Urakhanate of the Ula Khanate. In recent years, he has been called the Juggernaut
is the sword king of the last martial arts meeting.
And the thing that will be taken out as a prize for this martial arts show is the tears of the goddess that are claimed to be able to heal a qiē.
Tears of the Goddess? I always feel that it is a name that has been used rotten, and the effect of all kinds of things with the same name is similar, and they are all items of the restoration fù class.
When he learned about this thing, Zhou Yan had already complained fiercely in his heart. But when it comes to Tears of the Goddess, whether it's checking books or asking the staff lady of the Adventurer's Guild. Except for knowing that it is a prop of recovering against the sky, other aspects are unknown.
Originally, Zhou Yan also had an intelligence source, that is, writing gods, which were read as waste, and they were actually pit glass. However, this also involves another irritability in addition to the previous two troubles. Yes, irritability, not distress.
Li, ran away from home. Although this statement is somewhat incorrect, it is true if you look at it only in terms of results.
On the day when he formed a new bond with Youyou, Zhou Yan was ready to find the lost god (little) spirit (child) after that. But before he could start searching, he heard Li's voice in his head: "Yan you idiot! Why haven't you come to me yet? Forget it! I don't care, I'll be with Liu, Yan or something, I don't care! ”
Then, no matter how Zhou Yan, who remembered that he could talk through guò thoughts, called, there was no more response from there.
The only thing I know is that I'm probably with the cat right now. As for why they came together, Zhou Yan didn't understand.
"What the hell, that guy is obviously the enemy, you idiot!" Zhou Yan cursed in a low voice, incredibly, he was not worried about Li's safety.
"I, I'm stupid that's why you don't want to teach me?" A young man who heard only the last four words was stunned.
And I don't know what Louise really thinks. Let herself win the championship of the martial arts meeting, then the only thing she can think of about what she wants is the tears of the goddess. But what exactly does Louise intend to pay? And for what does she need such a thing? Can cure a qiē of Cunzài because Louise is suffering from some kind of terminal illness?
Or is it like those stories, that Louise secretly has some lover who is injured and in a coma? But Louise was only twelve years old, and I always felt that this statement was very untenable.
Besides, this martial arts show allows the shedding (death) of blood (death), let yourself work so hard, what kind of reciprocal exchange does Louise have? Could it be that she was rewarding herself? Well, but she's only twelve...... It's not in my range...... But...... It's not impossible......
However, Zhou Yan still didn't understand one thing, that is, why did Louise think he could win?
When he saw Akali and Zhao Fukong, Zhou Yan would not be surprised to see any other characters. And when he thought of those possible characters, Zhou Yan deeply understood how weak he was. So why does Louise think she can win?
Zhou Yan, whose brain hole was getting bigger and bigger, his doubts were getting bigger and bigger, and his thinking was becoming more and more confused, couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Alas. ”
"Why are you sighing? Can't I do it because I'm too stupid? The young man seemed to have been hit by Zhou Yan.
"Uh, what?" Zhou Yan, who had just realized that he had inadvertently ignored this young man just now, shook his head: "I'm sorry, what I said just now wasn't aimed at you." ”
"And as I said, I'm not qualified to teach others. Actually, I'm very weak, if you're looking for it, you'd better find a really powerful person to teach you. ”
But hearing Zhou Yan's words, the young man did not waver: "Please be sure to accept me as a disciple, so that I can participate in the Stadi martial arts exercise that will be held next month." ”
"So why do I have to create a competitor for myself!" Zhou Yan couldn't help but complain.
Then I finally felt inexplicably irritable because there were too many things I couldn't understand, so I ruthlessly turned on the poisonous tongue mode: "What are you thinking?" One month? Do you want to win the championship in a month? Where do you think you're from X? I apologize to those who have been preparing for years or more! ”
"You're just going to give away someone's head, right? That's a race to kill! Do you think it's everyone drinking tea and chatting with the amiable? If you want to die, you can find a high place and solve it head-down now, you don't have to delay it for so long, right? ”
I didn't expect that Zhou Yan, who was still very kind yesterday, would suddenly say such poisonous words, named Rudy, a young man who was an ordinary Winter Rock City guard before, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"I, I know it too...... Myself, very weak, but I have a reason to go......"
However, in the face of the young man's insistence, Zhou Yan just sneered: "Huh? Do you think you're the hero in a hot-blooded comic? Sorry, you're older than me, right? It doesn't meet the requirements of the teenager at all! Why do you have to go? Are the other participants just going to have fun? Or do you think you have a reason to go, and you can win? Do you really think you're the hero? ”
"I ...... I ......" Rudy, who was speechless by Zhou Yan's poisonous tongue, his face turned red and he couldn't speak.
"I'm sorry to bother you!" In the end, Rudy could only bend down and bow and say such a sentence, and then left with a humiliated expression.
After Rudy's figure disappeared, Zhou Yan sighed. He didn't just say that to mock Rudy, it was better to make the other party angry like this than to send the other party to death with unrealistic fantasies.
Well, in fact, Zhou Yan didn't think about it so much at all, he was completely just unhappy with himself. A series of poisonous tongues against Rudy are just to vent their frustration. Maybe there's a little bit of kindness in it, but it's only subconscious.
Also, Zhou Yan really doesn't think he has the ability to teach others. In his opinion, he is just a struggling weakling.
Since Zhao Fukong and Akali can all save zài, will there be those zài who are completely beyond the limit of Zhou Yan's cognition? Every time he thought of this, Zhou Yan felt powerless.
