In the expectant gaze of the onlookers, Alex suddenly raised her left hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under everyone's gaze, she scratched her cheek slightly.

"Well, I don't have a weapon yet."

“.…..”

There was a deathly silence around him.

"Miss Alex, don't you have a shield on your left arm?" Alex broke the silence.

"Huh? A shield is a shield, and a weapon is a weapon. If you only have a shield, you can't attack. ”

"Didn't you have a weapon with you on your way here?"

"Hmm...... I used to have a long sword, but a month ago I wanted to use it for hunting because I ran out of food, but I accidentally got stuck in the target's body and was taken away by the crazy cow. ”

“.…..”

Is this guy stupid? After hearing the girl's words, the people who couldn't help but imagine the scene in their minds complained powerlessly in their hearts.

"Phew-I see, it would be nice to say this kind of thing at first? Did those few minutes of silent confrontation just now make any sense? ”

"Huh? At first, it was just a short-circuit in the brain, but then should it be the atmosphere? Or is it that the expectant gaze around her is too heavy......" Alex had an embarrassed expression on her face.

"I see, you don't have to say it." Shalom interrupted her, "But unfortunately, this is the kiss of death, daggers, daggers, double blades, and chain blades can still be found, but thieves who use long swords are not. Why don't you make do with a short sword, a short stick, a crowbar or something? ”

"Is this something that can be improvised!"

And it seems to have something cruel mixed in, it's an illusion.

"It's all a loss anyway, so it doesn't matter what the process is."

"Why are you so sure I'm going to lose! And the purpose is to get to know each other, right? Isn't it pointless not to use the weapon of your habit? ”

"Speaking of understanding, there is no one in the entire organization who knows His Highness Hill better than me, and even the sleeping face at night and the recipes for each meal are clearly investigated."

"No one has talked to you about it! By the way, you're already at the level of a stalker! ”

"So what to do? Now go to the blacksmith shop above and forge one? ”

"It's too late to say that, right...... If you have at least one wooden sword......"

"If you have a wooden sword, you have it on the shelf behind you?"

“.…..”

Silently turning to fetch a wooden sword from the shelf, Alex saw Ciel's weapon placed on the ground at the edge of the field, and picked up a long stick from the shelf.

"That...... Ciel, that's not what you usually use. ”

"It's okay."

What doesn't matter? Do you mean that you can win with a weapon that you are not good at? Alex, who felt that she was being underestimated, slowly ignited a fire in her heart.

"Speaking of which, what's Ciel's rank?" With her right hand brushing the flaxen hair that was scattered next to her cheek behind her ear, Alex asked casually, pretending not to care.

"Level 20."

“.…..”

Can't win. Absolutely not winning.

The fighting spirit that had just been ignited was instantly hit, level 15 and level 20, the gap in the middle was only level 5, but you must know that it would take a few months for ordinary adventurers to only climb to level 1 with difficulty. A level 5 gap is enough to span a few years of effort by most people.

Unwilling to go down to the predictable and ugly defeat, Alex opened her mouth to make other attempts.

"Well, that, Ciel, you see, it's hard for the weapons in our hands to withstand the strength of our level, so why don't we both use the attributes of about level 10 to fight? I don't have any other intentions, do I? I just think that this will be more thorough, don't you? ”

"Yes."

"So simply!?"

Seeing Ciel's defenseless stance, Alex felt as if she had become filthy. But such a mentality only stayed in the bottom of her heart for a moment, and the next second, she put on a posture to prepare.

"Hmph, I'm here to let you know the cruelty of the adult world." Looking at Hill's ignorant face, the 16-year-old girl, who was still underage, silently said in her heart.

Remembering what she had learned in the village, Alex moved her body slightly to make a defensive stance, her eyes glued to Hill as the situation in the field was on the verge of escalating.

-- At this juncture, I would like to talk about the composition and general level of the mainland's basic combat strength.

There is no accurate data on how many people currently live on the continent of Trensa. Many years ago, an agency tried to launch a census, but the plan quickly failed, because there are many races on the continent that are difficult to clearly determine the number of races - for example, the stone people who usually sleep in the rocks are no different from ordinary stones except for one awakening every five years; There are also Moors who can split and multiply at will, either as one or as a group -- and so on are the racial barriers that prevent the census from going smoothly. However, according to the rough speculation of the available data, the population of the intelligent race is roughly around 5 billion. Of these five billion intelligent lives, more than seven CDs are ordinary people with no combat effectiveness, including commoners, citizens, aristocrats, merchants, lawyers, actors, and other common professions. The average adult's level is generally around level 5, and the maximum level will not exceed level 10. It's just human data, other races will go up and down more or less, but it won't be very high anyway.

Less than one-third of the remaining combat professions are almost all adventurers, adventurers are not only a basic profession, but are more used in dungeons and wild adventures in this category of people, they operate in areas where humans cannot survive and monsters are rampant, and gain experience by killing monsters to reach a higher level.

Once the level 15 is exceeded, the adventurer can go to the adventurer's guild to transfer to the superior profession, and the specific way out can be recommended by the friendly receptionist sister with reference attributes, which are generally the advancement of the current profession. In addition, there are some people who are favored by the gods, and these rare lucky ones are born with quite high qualities, and can become the superior profession to which their talents point at the beginning of the adventure. Taking risks is not easy for most people, with 80% of all adventurers under level 15 being adventured. In any town where adventurers are active, an adventurer of a high-level class will be a popular star.

Kiss of Death takes the elite route, and all the members involved in the battle have a level of 15 or higher. However, even so, when the two people in the audience started to move with a tenth-level attribute, no one could see clearly when Hill instantly crossed a distance of 4 meters and stabbed Alex in the head with another section of the long stick.

At that moment, Alex's heart suddenly felt alarmed. Just now, she cautiously spied at Ciel, who was standing straight opposite, and muttered in her heart. Hill didn't put on any stance, just stood on the ground with a long stick in one hand. This is completely a layman's posture, and the various flaws on her body seem to attract Alex to take the initiative to attack, but Alex is completely unmoved, her strength is all in defense, she stared closely at Hill who was standing in place, waiting for the opportunity to use the shield defense to break Hill's balance, and use the long sword in her right hand to instantly kill the enemy. Battles around level 10 cannot be decided instantly, which is a huge advantage for the defensive counterattack.

However, at this moment, Ciel's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and before Alex realized what was happening, the field of vision was completely occupied by a yellow circle, which turned out to be the end of the long stick, and it would take some time to realize this.

Alex's heart almost exploded at that moment, and it was the instinct that had been trained over the years before thinking. The round shield in her left hand was in place almost at the last moment, and she turned her left hand from the inside out, slamming the shield into the stabbing stick, trying to deflect it to one side.

The shield and the stick clashed together, and Alex's heart sank. It wasn't that the power that was coming back from the shield was beyond her expectations, but on the contrary, the stick was almost deflected aside at the slightest touch, a huge contrast to the speed at which it stabbed - even so great that one thought it was a fool.

But of course this can't be foolishness, the only explanation is that Hill didn't use his power on the stick, which means that he didn't target the head in the first place.

Alex's peripheral vision saw Ciel's body suddenly spin outward, and in the process his stick hand had moved from the end to the center of the stick, and with the force of Alex's shield hitting the stick, Hill spun the stick around and struck Alex's back knee from the side with the other end.

This is almost a certain blow, Alex's body is still stiff when making defenses, not to mention that she is holding the shield with her left hand, and now she is also attacked by her left knee, trying to stop the remaining hand, and protect the lower joints that are simply out of reach, with the human body structure is simply impossible.

It all happened in a flash of light, and the surrounding members of Kiss of Death saw the girl's predicament at this time before they could figure out how Hill launched a surprise attack in an instant. Of course, they applauded Alex's defense with a stroke of genius just now, but at this time, they had already judged the girl's end in their hearts. Just eat this long stick, the girl will lose support and fall to the ground, and the competition will basically come to an end.

However, in this deadlock, Alex made a move they didn't expect.

The upper body is still stiff after exerting force, but the lower body can still make some moves at this moment. Since it is impossible to defend and avoid, it is simply to take advantage of the situation. Alex bent her knees in that moment and sat down on the ground. Her calves were pressed against the ground, and at the same time, she leaned back and lowered her upper body, and for a moment, her back was only a dozen centimeters away from the ground. And where Hill's long stick struck, it also changed from her back knee to her upper arm.

In terms of the damage suffered, the situation is much worse now than before. The stick in the back knee was only numb for a while, and it was certainly easier than it is now. But rather than losing directly like that, the girl's would rather trade her pain for the opportunity to struggle in the unknown.

The girl's will and self-esteem were recognized by the onlookers, who waited for the blow to come.

Bang -

After the body staggered, Hill stood there with a long stick in his hand, looking at the girl who got up and covered her left arm and screamed in pain, and did not choose to continue the pursuit.

Alex clutched the part she had been hit and screamed, then looked up and glared at Ciel with red eyes.

"You guy—"

The onlookers' angry expressions on the girls in the field were roughly understandable, and the speed at which Hill erupted just now really didn't look like a level 10 attribute, even if he was suspected of violating the rules, it was reasonable......

But the girl's words were not what they thought.

"You guy - just secretly released the water!"

Alex said as she glared at Ciel.
