Chapter 85
At the end of the fourth day of the Demon Martial Arts Exchange Competition, the ten players who entered the finals were finally determined.
In addition, in these four days of competition, there are also three people who have made it all the way to the finals and have not been defeated in the whole process, including Avella of the Lanluna Demon Martial Academy. O'Gorman, Hines of the Lemlas Academy of Demonic Martial Arts. Stukart and Orc Taylor.
These three people are the only three of them in this Demon Martial Arts Academy Exchange Contest to break into the finals with a complete victory and undefeated record, attracting the attention of everyone in the five Demon Martial Arts Academies, as if they can be called the pride of this generation, and they are admirable.
Of course, they can go undefeated because they have not met each other in these dozens of games.
Each match in the Demon Martial Arts Exchange Tournament is arranged by the Demon Crystal Orb, which is a finished product of magic alchemy that eliminates any possibility of cheating. From the first day of the competition to the fourth day, the three of them did not even meet each other, allowing them to enter the finals with a complete victory, which has to be said to be very lucky.
Because of this, when they see the results of the trio, people also start to look forward to their matches, and if they meet, I don't know how intense and exciting the process will be.
On the rostrum where the tutors of each school were located, everyone's eyes were on the competition field below, but there were also a few people whispering, while peeking at the two leading instructors of the Lemlas Demon Martial Academy.
In this regard, neither Nicola nor Lefeld cares, although the two have been nesting in Lemlas, but in fact, their strength has reached the stage of the top powerhouses in the Olawen Continent, and they are only one step away from becoming holy, and their hearts are more open-minded and broad than those of the mentors of these Demon Martial Arts Academy, and they don't care about the situation in front of them, but they are a little indifferent to not being happy or sad.
Among these people, there were only a few people whose expressions were very entangled, and that was a few leading instructors from the Lanluna Demon Martial Academy.
There are a total of six mentors who led the team of Lan Luna Demon Martial Arts Academy, four of them were purely happy for Avela's complete victory record, and the remaining two were really not happy because of Prince Randy, especially a mentor who originally planned to make Avela lose and make a fool of himself in the game, and found that Avella was still standing on the playing field in the end, and his mood could be described as extremely complicated.
It's not that they didn't do anything, but they were all lightly broken through by Avira, allowing them to see Avira's luck and strength again.
Day 4 ended a little early, before the sun had set.
After the competition, the ten finalists from each school were surrounded by students from each school and left.
Lemlas also has three players in the top 10, in addition to Hines and Taylor, there is also a magician girl - Erica.
Erica is a petite and delicate purple-haired girl with a cute baby face, and when she is quiet, she feels like a delicate Barbie doll. On the contrary, when she was furious, it was simply King Kong Barbie, which was very unbearable, and it was rumored that she still had dwarf blood on her body, so in addition to being a magician, she also had dwarf furious martial arts, and the weapon was a golden axe, even if there was no fighting spirit, it would be human life just to cut people up.
The people of Lemlas didn't expect that Erica, who is usually docile and cute, would sign up for the competition and make it all the way to the finals, they were all shocked, and they couldn't help but want to ask why this girl fought so hard.
By the way, Erica also has an identity, which is the granddaughter of the president of the Magic Guild of the Olawen Continent, and she is very talented in magic and a genius, so she can enter Lemlas to study.
"Congratulations." Jian Lu saw Erica coming over and said hello to her.
Erica's cute baby face suddenly added a bit of pink, glanced at him quickly, and said a little shyly, "Thank you." ā
Jian Lu nodded politely at her, and was about to leave when suddenly someone pulled her sleeve.
"Ge, Grafad, etc."
Jian Lu has always been a little tolerant of women, this kind of gentlemanly demeanor has been cultivated from the previous life, even if the girls he met after coming to this world are either so fierce that men hurt, or the vanity is so superficial that people can't bear it, but the things carved into his bones have not changed.
And Erica, this girl, although Jian Lu has not had much contact with her, but her classmates for a few years still know a little, knowing that this girl is usually quiet and docile, and only when she fights, she will go berserk, but she is a very real girl. It can be said that the women who can be selected for Lemlas are actually a kind of doer.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
Although he tried his best to soften his voice, Jian Lu's voice was naturally a little cold, and it was easy to misunderstand what he meant when listening to human ears, so Erica seemed to be even more nervous. But even though she was nervous, Erica persevered, looking up to meet his gaze.
"Grafad, IāI have something I want to tell you, you ......"
"Jane!"
"Mr. Grafard!"
Before Erica could finish her words, two voices rang out one after the other, interrupting her at the same time.
Jian Lu turned his head to look, and saw two people walking from two directions, one on the left and one on the right, and his heart was immediately congested.
At this time, the eyes of the two people were on Erica, one had deep blue eyes, the other was curious and exploring, and then when their eyes were on themselves, Jian Lu instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and there was a very subtle feeling, and he always felt that the eyes of these two people looking at him were so weird.
Jian Lu looked back at them silently.
Erica didn't get angry after being interrupted, but because of the arrival of these two people, the courage she had finally mustered was like a candle flame in the wind, which was instantly blown out by the wind, and her face showed a few points of confusion, and those who saw her side thought of her violent appearance on the field before, and they all had a toothache.
This contrast will not make men feel cute, only painful.
Hines came to Jian Lu first, glanced at the cramped Erica, and naturally recognized who she was, her eyes were slightly cold, but she smiled sunny and upright, and said in a harmonious voice: "Jane, today's game ended relatively early, if you are free, can you go somewhere with me?" ā
Hearing this, Jian Lu was a little surprised, but he still nodded.
At this time, Evera also walked up, she glanced at Erica who was shy with her head down, her expression was a little subtle, and she couldn't help but look at Jian Lu again, wondering in her heart, does this person like this kind of cute women like Barbie dolls? But looking at him, his eyes were still clear and cold, as if he was as lofty and indifferent as a thousand feet of red dust, and he really couldn't imagine how he was moved by love.
It only took a few seconds for Evira to understand with a woman's intuition that the girl Erica liked Jane. Grafad, but the man was too aloof to care for her.
She couldn't help but look at Jian Lu carefully, what was special about this person was the aura he expressed, just like a person who was detached from the world and didn't care about the world, clear and transparent, as if no one or thing could leave traces in those light-colored eyes, which made people inadvertently imprinted in their hearts, difficult to ignore.
This special aura, coupled with this superb face, is no wonder that people will be impressed, and then fall in love with him. It's a pity that the result is that the goddess is intentional and King Xiang is unintentional.
Knowing this, Evela felt a little playful in her heart, and immediately laughed teasingly: "Mr. Grafad is really charming, with such a lovely lady......" As she spoke, she smiled ambiguously at Jian Lu, her eyes were rippling and bright.
This kind of unfinished remark is the easiest to elicit reverie, and with Erica's face so red that it is about to drip blood, the onlookers can't help but want to coax. The reason for the lack of heckling was that Hines was a murderous bastard, and the students of Lemlas would not dare to provoke him at such a time.
Erica blushed, hurriedly said goodbye to Jian Lu, and ran away with her head down, no longer in the pattern of a female man on the playing field.
Jian Lu was a little surprised by Erica's reaction, he didn't know that Erica meant that way to him-only then did he know that Priestley was not joking when he said that someone admired him, and he was a little confused at the moment. It's just that no matter how confused he is, no one can find out that his psychological ups and downs are very huge, and he still feels very cold, as if he doesn't care about Avira's words, and it also makes people feel a little sympathetic to Erica's sister.
Seeing his expression, Avira sighed in her heart, feeling that this kind of man who does not eat fireworks in the world is as difficult to touch as a cloud in the sky, more difficult to overcome than an iceberg, but it is very challenging. Just looking at it like this, she has a kind of look that wants to see him fall in love after being torn apart, which must be very moving.
Hines said coldly, "Miss O'Gorman, please don't talk nonsense. ā
Evila smiled at Hines, and found that he had some murderous intent against himself, but for the sake of his good looks, he didn't take it to heart, and turned to Jian Lu and said, "Grafad, I don't know if you are free today, I want to invite you to a place." ā
Jian Lu: "......"
What day is it today, one by two people want to go to the same place with him?
However, compared to Hines, Jian Lu couldn't understand when he was so good with the heroine, so that the heroine actually came to him to go to a place in person? He couldn't help but be a little curious about the place the heroine said.
"He's not available." Hines put one hand on Jian Lu's shoulder, looking like a good brother, "We still have something to do, Miss O'Gorman, please take care of yourself." "You're not polite to give an eviction order.
"Really?" Avira looked at Jian Lu and was very disappointed when she saw him nod lightly.
Seeing this, Hines couldn't help but feel a little complacent, he had never felt that it was actually good that both of them were men like this, especially when he grabbed Jian Lu's shoulders wantonly, in the eyes of everyone, he would only think that they were good brothers, and it was easier to approach this person than women.
"Alright then, if you're free next time." Evira didn't force it, smiled, and turned away, walking in a dashing manner, without the annoyance and embarrassment of being rejected.
It's a powerful self-confidence.
Jian Lu couldn't help but wonder what the heroine came to him for, or did she see something?
After saying hello to Priestley, Amelia and the others, Hines pulled Jian Lu away.
The two of them walked around the campus of the Mapste Magic Academy, and soon attracted a lot of attention. In the past four days of competition, Hines has a lot of good feelings on his face, no matter what school he is, the strong are worthy of respect, especially this strong man is not only strong, but also has a good-looking face, and he has a lot of fans.
In contrast, Jian Lu, a visitor, was quiet, but he walked with Hines, and when he poked his face forward, he also turned his head 100 percent, and he couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.
Hines frowned secretly, suddenly grabbed Jian Lu's hand and walked to the side, passing through a small grove, turning a few more complexes, and gradually, there were fewer people around.
As the royal academy of the Mapste Empire in the Southern Continent, the Mapste Magic Martial Arts Academy covers a very vast area, and there are many places where few people even walk. I don't know how Hines led the way, they walked more and more remotely, and finally there was no one to see.
When Yomo had passed half a spell, the two of them stood in front of an inconspicuous grove.
"This is ......" Jian Lu didn't know why he brought himself to this kind of place, he looked left and right, with his eyesight, he soon found that this forest seemed to be calm, but in fact, there were a lot of things hidden, just the magic array in front of the woods, which made his eyes a little calm.
If it is an unimportant place, such a high-level magic array will not be set up.
"I've inquired, this is the forbidden place of the Mapste Magic Martial Academy." Hines said softly, "Jane, deep in this wood, I can feel that there is something important to me. ā
"Something important?" Jian Lu was a little surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to look at him, and found that his gaze was a little confused, confused, and seemed to be deeply attracted by something, and his face was sometimes confused, sometimes happy, and sometimes nostalgic.
Hines has never been a man without purpose, and there is something that attracts him to come here.
Jian Lu's eyes sank slightly, and he called up the system screen.
The system screen quickly showed the state of this forest one by one, breaking through the nothingness, presenting a complex terrain, mountains, rivers, swamps, and there was no shortage of them, and there were even red lights in it, representing the danger in it.
Jian Lu couldn't help but caress his forehead, this forest is actually connected to a different space, and it is estimated that which ancestor of the Mepuster Demon Martial Arts Academy integrated it into the academy as a place for students to practice. This is not uncommon for many magic martial arts academies or powerful and long-established families on the Olawen Continent.
The existence of different spaces has been known to people for a long time, and then it has been diverted by various means by the powerful to make it use, and it is extremely useful. There are many theories about the origin of this alien space, the most reliable of which is the alien space formed by the fragments of the continent destroyed by divine power during the Great War of the Gods.
Jian Lu looked at it for a while, and asked very calmly, "What do you want me to help with?" ā
Hines came back from his confused state, and when he saw that Jian Lu didn't even ask, he agreed to help, and he was overjoyed, and found that in Jian Lu's heart, he was really the most special.
"Naturally, I need your help." Hines smiled at him, "However, I'll have to wait until tomorrow's game is over." ā
Jian Lu looked at him, nodded, and didn't ask anything.
After checking, when the two were about to leave, suddenly Jian Lu's eyes were slightly condensed, and he grabbed Hines and hid behind a decorative boulder in the corner.
After a few minutes, Hines heard a faint footstep, and his eyes sank.
At this time, it was the time of the Demon Martial Arts Academy Exchange Competition, and the Magic Martial Arts Academy was very lively as the organizer, and the students also stopped watching the competition because of this, and these forbidden places set up for students were also stopped in use, and no one would come. And because the forbidden place is connected to a different space, and there is a magic array guarding it, it cannot be opened without a special magic key, and because of this, the Mapste Magic Martial Arts Academy does not need to send people to guard the forbidden place here, and the people from other schools will not know that this seemingly inconspicuous forest will be a forbidden place for the Mapste Magic Martial Arts Academy.
When he saw the comer, Hines's gaze deepened.
It was Avira.
She stood in front of the woods, frowned at the woods for a moment, then flipped up in her hands and tossed something up. It was a black bead the size of a baby's fist, like a black glass bead, hanging in the air, occasionally shining in the sun, it didn't feel ordinary, but it was nothing to say.
Seeing that black bead, Jian Lu's heart beat a little faster.
He could feel a kind of irritable dark attribute in the bead, which was clearly the power condensation of the dark goddess, faintly repulsing his light magic attribute.
Jian Lu can be sure that the heroine got a trace of divinity from the Goddess of Darkness when she crossed over, but if you want to talk about the power of the Goddess of Darkness, she has no inheritance at all, and Avira's current abilities are all cultivated by herself, as a former killer, she can be ruthless to herself, her talent is not bad, and her harvest is naturally higher than ordinary people.
So, where did the power of the dark goddess sealed in this bead come from?
There are a lot of doubts in my heart, but I can't understand them at this time.
Under the gaze of the two of them, they saw a few flashes of light on the bead, and then Avela withdrew it from her hand, as if she had determined something, and she turned away.
The two watched as Evela left, and it wasn't until a long time later that Hines spoke, "What was she doing?" The breath in that bead...... It's powerful. He tried to tell Jian Lu what he felt.
Jian Lu's expression was a little solemn, hesitated, and said, "I don't know either." ā
"Avira. O'Gorman, this woman is really suspicious. ā
"Hmm." That's the heroine.,There's a lot of things I'll do in the future.,Of course it's suspicious.ć
When Hines saw him and himself, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Jane, she seems to be very different from you, I don't know what her purpose is, you should be careful." ā
Jian Lu nodded, this is a must.
Seeing that he agreed readily, Hines was even happier, although Evila might have set his sights on the same thing as him, which made him a little unhappy, but he was still quite happy to let Jian Lu discover the true face of this woman and then keep his distance from her.
It's just that this joy disappeared in an instant when he saw the handsome red-haired young man walking towards him.
The person who came was none other than the eldest prince of the Edith Empire, Grantham. Edith, as one of the mentors of the neighboring team of the Editis Magic Martial Arts Academy this time, he represents the identity of the royal family, which is of great significance, showing that the Edith Empire attaches great importance to the academy exchange competition.
Seeing Hines and Jane Lu, Grantham's eyes narrowed and he stood in front of them.
The prince, who had suffered twice at the hands of Hines, had apparently recognized them, or rather, had already made Hines soar all the way through the four-day race, and the result of zero defeats had made the prince pay attention to his existence and then recognize him.
His handsome face was grim and stern, and his pupils constricted slightly when he saw the school emblem of Lemlas on the two of them.
"Long time no see." Grantham said coldly, "You two should still remember what happened in Etas Ishihara back then. ā
Hines is no longer the twelve-year-old boy he was back then, he has grown into a tall boy at this time, his face even has the same water chestnut horns that a man should have, his facial features are like knives, he is handsome and extraordinary, and his momentum is not inferior to that of an imperial prince.
He bowed slightly and said, "What do you remember?" Does Prince Grantham want to do something here? ā
Grantham sneered, his gaze swept over Jian Lu, and suddenly said, "Holy Son of the Temple of Light...... Scold. ā
Jian Lu looked at him coldly, bowed slightly at him, and was not surprised that he could recognize himself.
Although the Temple of Light is a behemoth in the Orawen Continent, but the interior is not an iron bucket, and it is expected to be infiltrated, presumably after the Holy Maiden Amelia of the Temple of Light and Alex, the third prince of the Edith Empire, got engaged, this ambitious eldest prince should have carefully investigated the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light.
As early as when they were in the Wenya Forest, when they saw them fighting for the Moonlight Flower, they had made a feud with this prince, and even after experiencing the incident of Etas Ishihara, there was no possibility of resolving it.
Although he did not speak, the atmosphere between the three of them broke into a solemn one, and there was a tension that was about to erupt, until-
"Prince Grantham!"
A voice sounded, and the three of them turned their heads to look, just in time to see Avila who came with her attendant Maria, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the three men who formed a confrontation, her eyes swept over them, and then smiled: "You know each other?" ā
Grantham reacted very quickly and smiled lightly: "There have been several encounters. ā
Neither Hines nor Jian Lu spoke, and there was nothing to say about the differences.
When Evera wanted to say something, Hines pulled Jian Lu away, and even looked at them, showing that he didn't want to see them.
This arrogant attitude naturally made Grantham secretly angry, especially in front of the woman he liked, it was really hateful, and he made a note of those two people again.
