Chapter 21: The Pride of the Bretonians...
"Bang, boom"
Amid the roaring fireworks, the town of Shining Gold ushered in a new day with a loud noise. Come and read - Internet café,.!
The brilliant fireworks rising from the entrance of the town echo with the golden morning light, injecting infinite vitality into the town with dazzling brilliance. In the early morning, the town was already full of people, the streets, shops, and everywhere were crowded with people, this day was the carnival day that only happened once every three years in Shanjin Town, the Dragon City Guardian Selection Ceremony.
As the most powerful city in Bretonia, the Dragon City Guardians are basically equivalent to the strongest force in Bretonia. In addition to internal recommendations, Longcheng Guardian basically has only one way to recruit externally.
However, it is not known why such an important ceremony was chosen in Shining Gold Town instead of Dragon City, perhaps because Shining Gold Town is full of talents, it is the cradle of Bretonia's famous bloodline since ancient times, or maybe it is because Shining Gold Town is strategically located and extends in all directions. But in short, this is a rare opportunity for Shanjin Town, and it is natural to grasp it firmly.
From early in the morning, the town goes into a carnival, and as the sun gets older, the atmosphere cools down slightly - because the big names from Dragon City are about to arrive.
Near noon, from the far horizon, a huge black shadow rolled like a dark cloud, and the black shadow rapidly expanded in people's field of vision, and after a while, someone in the town exclaimed: "It's a dragon"
It is the symbol of Dragon City, the dragon located at the apex of life
The faint dragon power had already been suppressed from miles away, causing the townspeople to feel a little short of breath. However, when the dragon flew closer, Long Wei restrained a lot.
Because beside the dragon, several rays of white-gold light slowly bloomed, covering the dragon's figure, and the rich holy aura made people involuntarily have the urge to bow and worship.
"Hey, it's the Holy Light Sect."
In the inn, Wang Lu laughed coldly: "This selection ceremony of the Dragon City Guard, I probably understand what is going on. ”
Aya's face was also a little gloomy, and her green eyes stared straight at the dragon figure sandwiched between several holy lights in the distance, and shook her head gently: "Dragon City...... It shouldn't be like this. ”
Moments later, the dragon descended on the town of Shining Gold, circled around the town's central square, and began to descend slowly, and as it landed, the dragon's figure quickly shrank and gradually changed into a human form.
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be thirty or forty years old, full of majesty, tall and imposing, and people couldn't help but feel surrendered, and when he landed, the nearest circle of townspeople in the central square even fell to his knees involuntarily.
"Tsk, what a powerful king."
In the distance, Wang Lu looked at the square from the roof of the inn, feeling the faint coercion emanating from the middle-aged man, and preliminarily judged that the other party's level was about between high-level and legendary, that is, the transformation of gods. Such a strong man can crush Shining Gold Town to the ground with his thoughts, and now he just makes a circle of people kneel and worship, which should be the result of extreme convergence.
"Aya, do you know him?"
Aya's voice was a little low: "He is the Lord of Dragon City, Bedwell." "A hundred years ago, it was." But at that time, he could not tolerate such an offense. ”
Wang Lu sighed in understanding. Because right next to the City Lord of Dragon City, the three white-robed Holy Light Priests formed a circle, this position, to say that it is far-fetched to serve and serve, but the meaning of monitoring and control is a little stronger. But in fact, the three Holy Light Priests were only at the beginning of the high rank, and even if the three of them worked together, they would not want to compete with a god-level powerhouse like the Dragon City City Lord. Obviously, it was the Dragon City Lord Bedwell who was willing to fall, and if it was Aya, even if she only had the Jindan realm, she would dare to go against the three avatars - of course, so she was dead.
Because of Bedwell's existence, Aya was inconvenient to show up, so she waited quietly at the inn. Wang Lu was curious about the Dragon City Guardian Selection Ceremony, so he took Liulixian and the others to squeeze in the direction of the square.
By the time we arrived at the square, the selection ceremony had already begun. Bedwell didn't like to waste time, and after making a simple opening statement, he reached out and pulled out a high platform in the middle of the field and placed a crystal ball on the table.
"Next, people who have confidence in themselves will come to the stage, drop their blood on the crystal ball, and if the appraisal results are qualified, they can join the Dragon City Guard."
After a brief explanation last night, Bedwell turned around and stepped down from the stage, while two white-robed priests remained on the stage to preside over the evaluation, and another pastor stayed by Bedwell's side.
This is not the first time that the selection ceremony of the Dragon City Guardians has been held, and most of the people in Shining Gold Town are familiar with these procedures. Soon a young man stepped up to the stage with confidence, bit his finger and dripped blood onto the crystal ball.
The crystal ball flickered for a while, eventually landing on green. The young man paused for a moment, then looked at the two priests expectantly.
"Let's go down." A priest spoke coldly.
The young man's face turned pale: "But, but I have blood." ”
"The bloodline of the green excellent level is not qualified to become a Dragon City Guardian at all, go find a livelihood elsewhere, go down."
As he spoke, the priest reached out and pushed forward, and the young man staggered and fell off the platform.
The people below were discussing: "Alas, the bloodlines of the excellent level are not qualified to join, the threshold of this Dragon City Guardian is so high, I am afraid that the Holy Knights of the Holy Light Sect are nothing more than that." ”
"Yes, in other places, let alone green, even if it is a white-level bloodline, it is enough for ordinary city lords to focus on cultivating. And even the worst gray bloodline at least means that you can become a professional, where will you be like this, and be thrown away like garbage. ”
"Yes, the captains of the city lord's personal guards in some cities are nothing more than the bloodline of the excellent rank, and the Dragon City guards are really not easy."
As he spoke, another strong man jumped onto the stage to be identified, the strong man exuded an extremely dangerous aura all over his body, his strength was quite strong, and the crystal ball also showed a dark blue color.
"Well, it's close to a rare bloodline, that's good. It's a defensive bloodline that is biased towards the shield battle route, so it's even rarer. The white-robed priest nodded, "It's a pity that the Dragon City Guards don't lack shield guards, so you can go down." ”
The strong man was simply surprised: "Down, down?" I'm ......."
Before he finished speaking, the white-robed priest stretched out his hand and pushed, and the strong man fell down without any resistance.
After all, although he has excellent potential, and he has been honed and powerful, he is still vulnerable in front of high-level professionals. However, after the strong man was knocked off the high platform, he was soon surrounded by several richly dressed nobles, who tried to win over the power to enter his house.
The selection of Dragon City Guardians is very strict, and being eliminated is not necessarily because of their lack of strength, maybe they are just not needed by Dragon City. But for others, those who are eliminated are still invaluable and cherished resources.
"Generally speaking, only blue-purple, near-epic-level bloodlines will join the Dragon City Guardian nine times out of ten, but how can blue-purple bloodlines be so common? I've lived in Shining Gold for decades, and I've witnessed every selection ceremony, and the blue-purple bloodline has only appeared less than ten times so far. Every time it appeared, the people of Dragon City were greatly shaken. ”
A gray-haired glittering gold townsman said with emotion.
"Excuse me, has there been any Bredon dragon bloodline over the years?"
A young voice sounded in the ears of the old man, who turned his head and saw an unfamiliar face.
"Hello, I'm a traveling scholar from Kyushu, and I really want to know about the customs here." The young man smiled slightly, and there was a special strength in his smile, which made the old man unconsciously relax his vigilance.
"Is it the Breton Dragons?" The old man touched his beard, and his tone was quite proud: "Of course there have been many times, after all, this is Bretonia." This Brighton dragon bloodline, no matter how thin the content is, is green at the lowest, usually blue or even purple. And its true value is much higher than other bloodlines of the same level, I have gone through fifteen selection ceremonies, and every time the Bredon dragon bloodline appears, the priests of Dragon City will give them the highest standard treatment and entertain them alone. Hehe, that's the pride of our Bretonians."
"Entertaining alone? Understood, Xie Lu Xie. ”
One after another challengers came to the stage, and when they got off the stage, time slipped away quickly, as if it didn't take long, half a day had passed, the sun had gradually sunk in the west, and a long dark shadow was pulled out from the high platform rising from the square.
In half a day, many excellent bloodlines were indeed selected, and there were more than 20 people who reached the standards of Dragon City. Among them, there are three people in Shining Gold Town, and there is even a Bretonian dragon bloodline, which is quite a good result. After all, most of the people who heard about the reputation of the selection ceremony came to Bretonia, and even people outside of Bretonia.
As the sun set, the people in Shining Gold Town gradually dispersed, and most of those who failed the challenge left with their entourage, and those who came to see the excitement also felt that the ceremony was almost over, and there was nothing to see.
Dragon City Lord Bedwell waited quietly on the high platform for a while, it had been some time since the last challenger left, and there was no newcomer on the stage, he turned his head and said, "It's almost over, right?" ”
"The end? Just these people, how to end? ”
Bedwell furrowed his eyebrows: "Twenty-three, isn't it enough?" ”
The white-robed priest gave him a deep look: "You know what I'm talking about. ”
“…… There is already one, not enough? ”
"Your little actions in private, when we don't know the way?" The pastor said, turning his gaze to the bottom of the platform, "Many of the people who should have come up have not come up. ”
Bedwell snorted coldly: "The Dragon City Guardians are not recruited to capture the strong men, and those who don't want to come up, can they still be forced?" ”
The pastor said, "Of course it is not possible to force it, but it is possible to induce. As he spoke, he spread out his palms with a grim smile, and suddenly a rich fragrance wafted out.
Bedwell's body trembled: "This is, ambergris?" ”
"Hmph, yes, it's the irresistible temptation of the Brighton Dragons. I knew that you wouldn't do things honestly, so I brought it on purpose. I'd like to see how many dragon bloodlines haven't shown up in the past few moments. ”
"You?"
"Want to get your hands dirty? Please, with your strength, it will be easy to kill the three of us. ”
Bedwell gritted his teeth and finally did nothing. The priest lit ambergris with holy light, and the subtle fragrance quickly spread to every corner of the shining gold town.
A moment later, the priest on the high platform was pleased to see a few townspeople in the distance walking towards this place as if they had lost their souls, and thought to himself that this priceless treasure had not been in vain.
Although it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of killing chickens and taking eggs, this time there is so much harvest, how can it be earned.
At the same time, Wang Lu, who had lost interest in the selection ceremony and returned to the inn to prepare for the meal, was surprised to see the little girl in the kitchen suddenly lose her mind. As if she had suffered some blow, her body trembled slightly, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and she walked out lightly, as if she had been caught by a ghost.
Wang Lu only felt strange: "Ness, where are you going?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Aya beside Wang Lu also stood up.
