Chapter 8: The Beginning

The Altai Chamber of Commerce, as the largest civilian chamber of commerce in Qiyan City, immediately demonstrated their strong execution - in just half an hour, an invitation and agreement were delivered to Leo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as he stepped into the door of the hotel with one foot, the financial officer of the Sweet Fruit Chamber of Commerce came over and was amazed.

"Since you have already crossed paths with the Altai Chamber of Commerce, why do you want to participate in our small Chamber of Commerce?"

Thinking that he was familiar with Leo, the treasurer complained a little.

The messenger of the Altai Chamber of Commerce made a special statement that in the future, Leo and Lindsay's food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be taken over by them. Although he couldn't figure out the key points, he understood at this time that Leo was definitely not an ordinary adventurer, and he must have something to do with Altai.

Even the kind of person who has to be treated respectfully by the big chamber of commerce, but he hides his identity and joins the sweet fruit chamber of commerce. Chu Yi thought that it might be a spy from the Altai Chamber of Commerce and broke out in a cold sweat, but when he thought about it carefully, a small Chamber of Commerce like them was not worthy of being treated so carefully by the other party.

Leo smiled wryly, and the treasurer sensed something and stopped complaining awkwardly.

After settling the remaining silver coin and the cost of the hotel, he and the Sweet Fruit Chamber of Commerce were completely settled.

However, judging from the expressions of the mercenaries who ran out of the hotel to say goodbye and kept waving, their respect for Leo may continue forever, and maybe there will be an intersection in the future.

Stepping into the transfer carriage of the Altai Chamber of Commerce, Lindsay obediently took the burden from Leo's body and smiled sweetly.

Although there were not many things, let the little girl carry them on his back—forget it, he shook his head, adjusted his sitting position, and opened the invitation.

The special paper had a strange feel, and Lindsay, who was poking her head aside, whispered to him that this was a paper unique to the main palace of Qiyan City, and only officials could use it, and she had seen it from her master when she was an apprentice before.

Could it be that the Altai Chamber of Commerce wants to use the power of Qiyan City to put pressure on itself?

Ridiculous thoughts, he said secretly.

Not to mention Strange Rock City, even if the entire border city is united, it can't put pressure on him. This is the self-confidence that comes with great strength.

Stopping his empty pride, Leo looked at the contents of the letter, raised his eyebrows, and Lindsay on the side also opened his mouth slightly.

As mentioned before, this is an invitation from the City Lord Palace of Qiyan City, and aside from the meaningless social official words, the content it expresses is actually very simple.

This afternoon, Mr. Leo was solemnly invited to participate in the warrior strength test of Qiyan City, which was held at the knight training ground in front of the City Lord's Palace.

In the lower right corner is the highest seal of the Castle Lord's Palace, indicating that this letter was personally passed by the Castle Lord.

"Strength test?"

Leo muttered to himself suspiciously, his first reaction was that Qiyan City and the Altai Chamber of Commerce would suppress himself in the name of testing?

"It seems that they are very interested in your true strength, but I think you only need to show the strength of a third-level warrior." Iros's words came, and Leo immediately realized that his guess was unnecessary.

The Altai Chamber of Commerce cooperates with Qiyan City to test their true strength in order to confirm whether they are qualified to earn benefits for them, or to confirm whether they can really grasp themselves - the unknown must be understood, which is the cautious style of businessmen.

If he is too weak, the Altai Chamber of Commerce will show its fangs, and if he is too strong, the Altai Chamber of Commerce may be too afraid to hire him.

"You don't, you don't understand the meaning of this letter, and you don't know what to do in the next moment, do you?"

As if sensing Leo's hesitation, Iros said with bad intentions.

Just listening to the voice, he could imagine the graceful face and meaningful smile that appeared on Iros's face when he said this.

"Show the right strength and make the Altai Chamber of Commerce think that I am a strong person who can be bound by the agreement, right?"

Fortunately, I figured it out at the last moment, and felt the slight sweat oozing from my back, Leo's face did not change, but he secretly said in his heart that it was so dangerous.

Iros stopped talking, presumably because he didn't see Leo's panic and felt depressed, and went away angry.

If he showed confusion and incomprehension here, the Moon Goddess, who had been teased and teased by him, would definitely not let go of this opportunity and laugh at him fiercely.

But he is the strongest knight of "Sword of the Riptide", even if it is the legendary goddess of the moon, it is still a little worse. Thinking so, Leo smiled smug to Lindsay, who was surprised by her.

The sound of the wheels of the carriage continued, and for about twenty minutes, the slight jolting disappeared, and Leo pinched Lindsay's sleepy face, and the latter woke up, blushing at the same time.

"It's here, please get out of the car."

Mavli pulled back the curtains, but out of the corner of his eye, he focused on the scene inside the car.

Got out of the predicament of panic and anxiety, and regained her spirits, Lindsay brought a little blush, and looked unusually cute and moving at this time.

It seemed that some speculation had arisen from that gesture of intimacy, and the groom's head was lowered.

Lindsay looked a little excited, and jumped out of the carriage gently, shaking her baggage, and she beckoned to Leo on the carriage.

Obviously, I don't mean that.,It seems that there is still a lot of experience to learn about how to get along with girls.。 Leo glanced at the groom with his head down, thought in distress, and got out of the car as well.

Behind them was the medium brick wall on the periphery of the main palace, and their carriage came in through a dedicated passageway, which alone showed the financial disparity between Taiyan City and Qiyan City.

In front of it was a vast arena, divided into many pieces by the group of knights who had removed their silver armor, and behind the arena was the castle-like building inside the main palace, which, judging from its ornate appearance, should be a place to work and stay.

There were also patrolling knights in silver armor, who should have greeted them beforehand, and they glanced at Leo and Lindsay, and continued their patrol work.

The groom entrusted the cart to the knights, and then led Leo and Lindsay to an open field, next to a loaded rack of weapons, all kinds of weapons.

The sound of the wheels turning suddenly came, and the strong white horse sneezed and stopped its hooves near the clearing.

It was the ornate carriage of the Lord's Palace, which had come with them, and at this moment a middle-aged merchant and a tall knight with a scar on his face stepped down.

"I've kept you waiting, this is the Light Knight Captain of Strange Rock City, Mike Hayden, and you're in charge of this test."

The middle-aged merchant approached with a smile and lowered his voice.

He couldn't help but look at the tall knight who had come as he approached, the scar adding a touch of vicissitudes to his resolute face, and his brown eyes turned around.

Perhaps the middle-aged merchant hadn't greeted him beforehand, but Michael glanced at Leo's not-so-strong body and frowned.

After the knights become believers, they will have the source of magic power, and the endless magic power will continue to wash their bodies, and over time, their bodies will become stronger and stronger, so it is a common way to judge the strength of the opponent by the appearance of the opponent below the third-level believer.

He himself is a second-class warrior and is convinced of this.

"Are you sure it's a warrior test, not a mage test?"

Mike said to the middle-aged businessman, he didn't deliberately hide his voice, and everyone could hear the contemptuous tone.

“・・・”

The middle-aged merchant smiled bitterly and secretly glanced at Leo, and was relieved to find that the latter's face was still calm.

"A knight like you, he can be defeated with just one hand."

Calm words came from his side, and Mike and the middle-aged businessman were stunned.

Lindsay looked up, in a tone that sounded like a statement of the facts of sunrise and sunset, and looked directly at Mike without fear.

No one took it seriously, and with his good knightly upbringing, he would not be angry with such a little girl, but these words were stuck in his heart like a thorn.

I'll have to give this guy a little color later, Mike snorted coldly and turned his head to the weapon rack in the clearing.

"Mr. Leo, Knight Captain McChai is a second-level peak warrior, he has learned a variety of swordsmanship, and his strength is comparable to that of a third-level warrior, please do not underestimate the enemy."

Seeing Mike walking away, the middle-aged merchant seized the gap and whispered to Leo.

can use his momentum to shake back an ordinary light knight, presumably his strength also has a second-level peak, but in the face of Knight Mike, who has been famous for a long time, it may still be a little worse. With this thought, the middle-aged businessman asked Leo to be more cautious, as for Lindsay's words, neither he nor the knights around him who began to join in the excitement and became more or more concerned.

Defeat Mike, whose strength is comparable to that of a third-level warrior, with one hand, is he possessed by the god of war, or is the legendary general of the empire coming in person?

It's ridiculous.

A sound of breaking the air came, and everyone's eyes were attracted to it, it was the knight's sword thrown by Mike, but everyone didn't realize it, it contained a strange strength.

Of course, except for Leo, there is no need for him to pay attention to the little tricks of the third-level warriors.

He deftly grabbed the knight's sword spinning in mid-air, and the knights around him let out a loud cheer, and Mike, who was not far away, flashed a strange color, he didn't expect Leo to catch it so easily.

His eyes were much more solemn, and Mike held his sword in both hands, staring at Leo not far in front of him.

The battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and everyone's mood was hot.

However, to everyone's surprise, Leo held the sword in one hand, looked at it for a moment, pinned one hand behind his back, and at the same time stuck the knight's sword on the ground.

Like the sound of a heavy blow breaking stones, the blade sank into the ground a little, and the smooth stone brick surface shook some cracks.

In full view, his only left hand, which he could use, left the hilt of the knight's sword that was inserted into the ground.

"Just with one hand."

He suddenly looked not far away, and in the crowd, along with many knights, he was watching his small figure and smiled.

It was as if his heart had been tugged up, and a burning sensation of excitement poured out, and Lindsay blushed and responded to Leo with glowing eyes.

The sound of gasping cold air poured out over the sea, this is no longer the extent of grandeur, it is simply a naked contempt for Captain Mack!

Even if you use one hand, you don't even need a knight's sword, does this arrogant guy want to defeat his opponent with his eyes?!

"This is terrible."

The middle-aged merchant huddled in the crowd, clearly feeling the anger of the knights around him, Leo was not only despising Mike alone, but also contemptuous of the knights' battles.

"You..."

Mike was completely stunned, the knight's sword in his hand trembling slightly, revealing his volcanic rage.

Not with a sword, but with one hand.

Idiot!

He scolded angrily in his heart, without a sword, a third-level warrior is estimated to be unable to defeat even a second-level warrior, Leo's actions are purely looking for death.

After all, he was not in the habit of bullying unarmed opponents, he thought so, and subconsciously relaxed the strength of his sword, and his body suddenly attacked Leo.

The white light reflected by the blade of the sword was like a meteor, and in the blazing shouts of the knights, it broke through the howling wind and pointed directly at Leo, whose face was calm!
