Chapter 1 Contest
On the second day after the end of the academy competition, the Broadney Castle Tower and the others slept for the first time in a long time, and it was not until after dawn that everyone woke up one after another.
After reading the news of the sky, everyone also knew about Lawrence's death, although Lin Ziyue also suspected that it was the hand of Hasten or Senior Gunna, but after thinking about it, the two of them left in the middle of the night after returning to Broad yesterday to kill someone in the middle of the night and then came back, which was a little too blatant, so they dispelled the idea.
The time of the return trip has been set for three days later, and the remaining days are just right for Wang Ting, Zhang Buqing and the two juniors to get close to each other.
However, the next night, a late guest appeared in Broad, and it happened to be after Zhang Buqing and Wang Ting left, and everyone began to have dinner.
No one knew when she had arrived at Moonstar or when she had entered Brod, only to find out when everyone went to the restaurant.
"This time it was a bit of a delay, and I didn't catch up. Seeing Hasten and Gunna, the eldest lady said in a deep voice, she had learned that the castle tower had not won the top ten, and although she said something to explain, she didn't seem to be sorry.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Gunna's eyes and he wanted to say something, but in the end he was stopped by Haisen with his eyes: "Hu Lao didn't let us come for the sake of the top ten, but more to let us see the potential of human beings, that Chris is very strong." ”
"Hmm. Since he could make Haisen willingly call the last sentence very strong, which was enough to prove the strength of this person, the eldest lady responded and said that she knew.
Although Lin Ziyue and his entourage were at another table on the side, the communication between the three of them was not silent, so they were all in their ears, and Lin Ziyue, as the captain, felt that it was still necessary for him to confirm his conjecture.
"Lawrence in the middle circle, is it the eldest lady's hand?" Lin Ziyue walked to the table of the three and asked softly.
After all, the time when the eldest lady appeared was too coincidental, and the only ones who had the motivation to shoot at Lawrence were the students of the heavenly guard, although I don't know how she got to the second courtyard of the middle circle, and she didn't leave any clues in the heavenly news, but Lin Ziyue's intuition told him that even if it wasn't the eldest lady's shot, it must be related to the eldest lady.
Hearing Lin Ziyue's inquiry, Haisen and Guna were slightly shocked, thinking that this first-year grade was a little too bold.
But what the two of them didn't expect was that the eldest lady didn't burst out, but put down the dishes in her hand, raised her head, and glanced at Lin Ziyue with clear eyes: "Help the academy solve a little trouble, don't thank me." ”
Lin Ziyue's eyes jumped: "Please don't act like this in the future, human society has its own laws, if Lawrence wants to be unfavorable to the Heavenly Guard, he will naturally be sanctioned by the Second Branch and the Association of Strangers, and we don't need to take action." ”
A trace of incomprehension flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, and there was also a trace of displeasure: "You mean I did something wrong?"
"Miss, what does Lin Zi mean..."Hai Xin behind him just wanted to help Lin Ziyue explain, but was pressed by his brother's dodge.
Lin Ziyue felt the sudden serious atmosphere in the restaurant, but he didn't care at all, looked directly into the eyes of the eldest lady, and said, "Yes, it's wrong." ”
Hearing Lin Ziyue's words, the black clothes on Guna's body were windless and automatic, ready to stop the eldest lady at any time, and Haisen's arm on the side also tensed his muscles and was ready to save Lin Ziyue, after all, he was the captain elected by Hu Lao, and there was also a top 100 powerful grandmaster elder in the human race, if he was killed by mistake in a fit of anger by the eldest lady, the trouble caused would be extremely unfavorable to the celestial guard.
The eldest lady stood up, her height was only half a minute shorter than Lin Ziyue, she looked at Lin Ziyue, and then asked, "Then what should I do?"
"We didn't have to do anything, Lawrence did embarrass the castle tower in front of everyone that day, but it didn't hurt the interests of the castle tower, and even helped us achieve our goal. Lin Ziyue saw that the eldest lady's expression was as usual, so he continued: "Even if he has a grudge in his heart because of the events of that day, he can't be unfavorable to us from tens of millions of kilometers after we return to the Earth Star, isn't it." ”
Lin Ziyue hadn't taken over the incident from Zhang Buqing at this time, these were all things he thought of and did by himself, he couldn't restrain others, but at least he could restrain himself and influence the people around him.
The eldest lady looked at Lin Ziyue's clear eyes, which were as clean and translucent as the slightest impurity, and after a long time, she finally sat back in her position and said in a deep voice: "Okay." ”
Seeing this, Hai Xin hurriedly pulled him back to their table and pressed him back to his seat: "Lin Zi, don't talk about it." As he spoke, he glanced at the eldest lady from a distance, only to find that her face was as usual.
"This matter has not been resolved. Lin Ziyue shook his head, and then clicked on Tianxun.
"Lin, you're not going to report to the second department, are you? After all, it's our senior sister..."Monette hesitated, although the eldest lady's rash attack on Lawrence was indeed a violation of the law of the second department, but in her capacity, he was worried that Lin Ziyue would make things more complicated.
Ignoring everyone's eyes, Lin Ziyue had already connected to Tianxun, and on the other side of Tianxun was a face that everyone had never seen: "Uncle Dong, I'm in some trouble here..."
There was no need to explain much, Zhang Dong, who was paying attention to Tianxun, knew what was probably going on, and after learning some information about Lawrence from Lin Ziyue, Zhang Dong reassured him that he would let people deal with the rest of the matter.
After getting Zhang Dong's affirmative answer, Lin Ziyue hung up Tianxun with confidence.
A few hours later, it was reported that a Stranger had turned himself in in the Central Circle
The news, it is said that because of the bet on the middle circle of the first house and bankruptcy, in order to retaliate, so after the game, Lawrence took advantage of his unpreparedness to hit his mental power, which led to the final result, and the whole thing was settled.
Even if anyone with a heart can see that there is something greasy in it, but at least it is not a headless unjust case like at the beginning, and under the hints of various forces, no one will finally be held accountable.
There is still one day to leave the moon star, and the continuous battles in the past half a month have made everyone in the castle tower gain a lot, among which the Xiao sisters and Muji Monette have touched the threshold of the C-level, although Li Hui has suffered a heavy blow, but he has also broken through to the C-level a few days ago due to a blessing in disguise, and Muji and Monette are only one step away.
I was going to go to the inner circle of the business district on the last day of the moon star, and Haixin, who was in a good cup, was extremely restrained during this time, and he was already hungry, but considering that the identity of the seniors was not suitable for too publicity, everyone chose the drinking place in Brod's own bar.
...
"Young master, someone is looking for you outside. Everyone tasted the Qingsheng Xunxian in their hands in the bar, and Augustus, the butler, suddenly leaned into Gunna's ear and whispered.
"Who?" said Gunna, who sat alone at one end of a long table in the bar, frowning.
"He said his name was Chris, and if you knew it was him, I'd let him in. Augustus said softly, you are one of the thirteen great demons of the blood clan, but because the castle tower was brought by Guna, he was quite polite to everyone.
Hearing Chris's name, Gunna's eyes lit up and nodded: "Bring him in." ”
With that, Augustus left the bar, and a few minutes later, led Chris to the place.
"See you again. Broad's bar was not small, and the crowd was scattered at this time, so he didn't notice for a moment that there was one more person in the room, and Chris was taken to the long table where Guna was sitting and sat across the table from him.
Guna didn't put down the blood-red liquor in his glass, but just asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Say thank you, and I'm ready to fight you again. Chris looked at Guna with a battle intent in his eyes.
Guna chuckled: "Don't be polite, if you fight again, you will have a chance to talk about it later, I will travel far tomorrow, and I don't want to do it today." ”
"That's right, you're going back to Earth Star tomorrow, but you two didn't do your best in that final, although I won in the end, but I always felt a little uncomfortable, if you don't answer, I'll go to Haysen!" said Chris as he prepared to leave the table.
"He won't pay attention to you, try my wine. Augustus offered Chris a glass and placed it to his right hand.
Since the day of awakening, the nine generations of Chris's family have all been supernatural, and they are the first residents after the construction of the three circles of the moon and stars.
Pick up the wine glass and take a sip: "'Work No. 1?' in the inner circle, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing." For Chris, drinking is one of his few hobbies in addition to spiritual practice, but unlike Helsing, he is not interested in spicy spirits, but he has a lot of research on mellow and elegant red wines.
Guna raised his glass slightly, bringing it closer to his lips.
A silver light flashed in Broad's dimly lit bar, and a phantom flashed in Gunna's left hand, and he held the silver light that struck his glass.
"Don't challenge my patience. Guna stretched out his left hand, and a special coin fell from his palm and landed on the long table in front of him, "I said I wouldn't do it, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you." At the same time, Guna removed the glass in his right hand, and the fragile crystal cup at his side shattered into pieces, spilling wine on the floor.
Although Guna grabbed the coin, it didn't stop the momentum of the idiosyncratic coin, penetrating the air through the back of his hand, and finally shattering the wine glass in his hand.
Chris didn't seem to hear: "It's your turn, this bottle of wine is enough to pour many glasses." As he spoke, he put the glass in his hand, and it was exactly the same as the one where Augustus had placed it when he served him wine.
"Since you don't want to do it directly with me, but I really have itchy hands, let's change to a more elegant way. ”
"Use coins as a hostage, don't strengthen the wine glass, don't use abilities to change direction, attack from where you receive it, you can take it, and if you drink it, you win, how about it?"
Guna raised his eyes, a flash of interest in his eyes, he reached out and picked up the coin on the table, tossed it in the air and caught it, and so on: "The cup is not valuable, but many things in this bar are unique above the three stars, and they have no need to change if they are broken." ”
At some point, the coin was struck, hitting a nearby pillar and bouncing off Chris's glass, the silver coin pitch black, barely visible in the dim light.
The glass in front of Chris shattered with a crack, and his attention was drawn to the sound of the coin hitting the column, and he didn't notice the coin until it hit the glass, when it was too late.
Although the bar was large, the people present were not ordinary people, and they were also attracted by the sound of broken wine glasses, and turned their eyes to it, and then found Chris.
Lin Ziyue frowned, not thinking about why he appeared here and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Butler Augustus, who had already poured a glass of red wine for Chris and Guna respectively: "Young master doesn't have much time for entertainment on weekdays, don't disturb him." ”
Chris left his seat, walked a few steps to the side, and found the coin on the ground that had become black, and after a little sense, it turned out to be wrapped in dark attributes, so it was able to walk without a trace.
Guna placed the new wine in his hand in the corner of the table, which happened to be blocked by the pillars that Chris was in sight.
"Interesting. Chris smiled and tossed the coin with his ringhands.
The coin flew straight towards the wall, and the ability on it didn't dissipate, and instead of bouncing off the wall, it rolled down the wall, then bounced off a bulge the size of a grain of rice, spinning in the air.
Guna reached out to remove the coin from the air, but when his fingertips touched it, the coin suddenly changed direction, went down his wrist, and smashed a hole in the wine glass in the corner of the table.
"Yo. No need to look, Chris snorted softly when he heard the sound of the cup breaking, and then sat back in his seat. This time, the coin will be rolled seven meters away, separated by countless benches, tables and chairs, and two columns sealing the left and right angles, so I think I can taste the taste of Work No. 1 again.
Guna got up and walked into the darkness, while Augustus duly took away the fragments of the glass, then replaced it with a new one, and placed it in its original place.
Glancing at Guna in the dark, Chris seemed to feel that it was not enough to be safe, and then placed the wine glass on the wine table on the foot of the table, and after being blocked by the long table, it seemed to him to be foolproof.
In the dark, Guna glanced at Chris, who smiled ostentatiously.
"Brother Ziyue, what are Senior Guna and that Chris from the inner courtyard doing?" After the battle between the two began, everyone watched from afar with their own wine glasses, and Li Gui, who really didn't understand the meaning of the two of them doing this, finally asked.
Lin Ziyue smiled: "According to Chris, it is better than mental power, more than ** control, and more than the use of abilities, don't look at them as playing, but it is not as easy as coming in the ring." ”
In the dark, Guna retrieved the dark ability attached to the coin, and then flicked the coin high with his thumb towards the long table.
Chris was going to make a move, but according to the trajectory of the coin, it would eventually land on the edge of the corner of the table and not hit the glass, so his movements paused for a moment.
It was at this moment that the coins that were originally falling freely accelerated abruptly, and indeed landed on the corner of the table, but they bounced again, and finally landed on the rim of the glass, shattering the wine glass.
"You..." Chris wanted to say that Guna had lost by changing the flight trajectory of the coin, but when he saw Guna return to his seat from the darkness, he felt that he would not give up so easily, so after thinking about it, he chose to get up and walk a few meters away to pick up the coin, and after picking up the coin, he found out the clue, and the smile on his face was even better.
Li Gui looked puzzled: "According to the rules, isn't the senior going to lose?"
Lin Ziyue shook his head, he didn't know how Guna did it.
"The young master used the elements to change the quality of the coin, which is why it suddenly accelerated and turned. August's eyes flashed with relief, although Guna didn't say it, but in the back and forth of the coin, the two actually had some sympathy for each other.
"There's only one glass left. Guna spoke suddenly, then placed the glass in the exact same position as Chris, the black cloak behind him spread out like a pair of wings.
Chris sucked up the dark element that Guna had attached to the coin, and looked at the position he had already set up, his brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes kept roaming the field, thinking about how to attack.
While Chris was thinking, Lin Ziyue on the side was also demonstrating in his mind, just like the previous situation of Guna, there are pillars on the left and right, and the low altitude is the other tables, chairs and benches, if you don't use the ability to change direction, the only breakthrough is still in the air.
The coin in Chris's hand suddenly flashed red, and then it turned into a sword rainbow and flew towards the wine glass under the flex of his two fingers.
There was a crackling sound in the darkness, and countless phantoms appeared in front of Gunna, and with each appearance, the red light on the coin dimmed for a minute, until the sound stopped, and Gunna, who was half-bent over, straightened up from the ground with his intact wine glass, sat back in his seat, and stretched out his left hand as before.
The red light on the coin in the palm of the hand has long since disappeared, but at this moment, the original carved pattern and text on the coin have disappeared, and even become a little curved.
Putting the cup in his mouth, Guna took a sip of the glass of wine, and then got up: "Augustus, open another bottle for him." He turned and left.
Augustus looked at the direction Guna left, a smile flashed on his face, he didn't expect that Gunna, who had never been recognized by Hayson and the eldest lady, actually became interested in a human being, and took the initiative to show his kindness, which is a good thing.
While thinking about it, Augustus had already taken out a bottle of Work No. 1 from the wine cabinet: "This gentleman, No. 1 needs to wake up for forty minutes, you can drink a little more and wait." ”
Looking at Guna who didn't look back, Chris stood up, walked to the seat of Guna before him and picked up the smoothed coin, which was cold and long gone, and the scorching heat of his hand had long gone, Chris chuckled and withdrew the coin from the bracelet.
"No, save it for the next time you come to him. Chris waved his hand: "Tell Guna that I lost this time, but next time I will go to him again, so that he had better not be caught up by me." ”
With that, Chris made a gentlemanly salute in the direction of the others and turned away from Broad.
