Midnight has been quietly hiding in the shadows, and the night is its natural camouflage, and becoming a demon pet has not deprived it of the stealth gene of the ghost cat in its bones. Although it was a little rusty at first, it was seen by the Marquise of Pohimana. But then, it became more and more adept at mastering its hiding abilities, keeping an eye on her target until she returned to her room and fell asleep.

The black kitten licked the back of her hand with satisfaction, ran back to her owner with a sense of pride, and reported the news. It knew that Feige would naturally praise and reward it.

The devil is cunning, don't trust the devil, because the devil never believes in humans. Not every devil wants to deceive humanity - otherwise the devil's pact will not be signed by anyone - but every human wants to deceive the devil. It's hard to say who started scamming whom, and it doesn't matter. Importantly, even with the binding power of a contract, the devil never thought that a contract alone could control the situation. Feige thought so, too.

"The Marquise of Pohimana wants to kill me by the hand of the devil, it's a temptation, she just wants to know how much of an impact it will make to kill someone from the House of Hall. Alas, the woman studied the devil, but as long as she was not a devil, she never knew that the devil could detect lies through the change of soul. Fei Qi drew a sketch on the ground with chalk, with four figures: "I", "Demon", "Milk", "Sun", and now "Zis". He draws lines between the characters, writing backgrounds and relationships to sort out the whole thing.

"Behind 'me' there is also the Hall family, and it can be seen that 'my' family is still quite powerful, which makes the Marquis's family very jealous. "It's a pity that Young Master Hall's memories are full of unsightly things, and there are few things that are really useful and can't provide information in this regard. "It is now certain that her main purpose is to make Gresham as strong as possible in the church system, so that the entire family can be protected from being harmed by the fork in the road. In other words, she has already figured out the problems in the original agreement. It is precisely because of this that she did not hesitate to sign a new agreement after hearing that Gresham could be exempted. ”

"Unfortunately, even if her old agreement doesn't affect Gresham, I still have a copy of Gresham's breach of contract - she paid for it, but it doesn't change anything. The devil is so bad!" Feige shook his head, becoming more and more determined not to make a deal with the devil. "Whether she'll sink deeper and deeper or come to her senses, one thing is certain: tonight, her plan was to kill me, and she was going to use the hand of the hired knight Zis. ”

Feige judged that Pohimana went to Zis after signing the contract, most likely ending the murder plan. But it's not 100 percent, so Feige will still have to be very careful in tomorrow's tournament. Although he can be resurrected after death, it can only be done secretly. If he had been cut off and his heart stabbed in front of everyone's eyes, how would he have been resurrected? There is no way to explain this! The church will definitely investigate, and as soon as the high-ranking pastor comes, Feige will definitely show his stuff, and he will have to die for the rest of the world. Obviously, being killed is never a good deal, and you can't go wrong with being careful.

"It's time to prepare for tomorrow's test. Feige stood up, his eyes searching his room. His room, like the other Monster Hunter's rooms, serves as both a bedroom and a storage room. Although he devotes most of the space to books and cats, he also has some armor and weapons.

Icepeak Fortress is never short of armor and weapons, and it will never treat its full members badly, so everyone can choose what they like. Of course, quantity is one thing, quality is another, and the best armor here is just a couple of sets of cuirass, nothing heavier. The protection effect of the whole body armor is better, but it must be specially tailored by a skilled craftsman, and it costs a lot of money, the cheapest will not be less than 1,500 gold coins, and the more delicate ones will have to be increased by two percent. The annuity of a small manor is only 500 gold coins, and it takes three years to have a chance for you to fantasize about having a set of such armor.

Feige had a leather armor, which was made of extremely thick animal skins, and then these coarse thick skins were sewn in layers, and some fur was stuffed into them to enhance the protective effect. This winter they harvested a lot of beast leather, so this leather armor was mostly new. If you look closely, you can see a row of sewn words in the corner of the leather armor lining: "Wu Mama protects Feiqi", and you will know whose craftsmanship it is.

The leather armor is slightly heavy, it is already considered a medium armor, and the protective effect is second only to the scale armor, which is still quite good. The main thing is that this thing is very easy to maintain, where it is broken, just find a piece of leather to sew and mend it. The scale armor needs to be replaced, the cuirass needs to be hammered by a blacksmith, and the chain armor needs to be reloaded with iron rings...... For Monster Hunters who are venturing out and have no minions, leather armor is the best option - it's just not safe in a duel.

Anti-cut, anti-stab, anti-blunt attack, there are weaknesses in leather armor. Fei Qi pondered for a moment, disassembled the leather armor along the maintenance line, found the filling layer, took out some hard wool, and then stuffed a few thin pieces of iron to protect the heart, under the ribs, and on the side of the waist. In order to keep warm, the leather armor of the Ice Peak Fortress has a collar, and Feige also stuffs a thin piece of iron in it.

The iron sheet was originally used to protect the corner of the book, and it was deliberately made very thin, so that it could be cut with scissors, and it was impossible to tear it with your hands. However, doesn't Feige have the Law Armament Seal, which is a spell specifically designed to strengthen weapons and armor. While others value its improvements to weapons more, Feige is more focused on saving lives.

Putting on leather armor, the iron pieces stuffed in it immediately began to shift, and all of them slid down in the sandwich of the clothes. Fei Qi concentrated his mind and armed himself with the law, and the power of the law seal started from his arm and immediately penetrated into the leather armor. The threads that had just been disassembled were re-stitched and taut by themselves, and the pieces of iron wriggled to the most suitable position, and then tightly bonded to the leather part. The neckline of the leather armor is tightened, and the iron plate forms a whole circle of protection around the neck. The garment became tight and fitting, and it didn't get in the way of movement – but it was just as heavy.

Feige took the dagger and stabbed him in the stomach. The dagger broke at the same time as it penetrated, and the sharp metal only pierced the skin, there was no mortal threat, but the consumption of the magic seal was very large. After taking out the fragments of the dagger, Feige re-applied the magic seal, and the damage to the leather armor was slowly repaired. However, it is clear that sewing and repairing first and then using the method printing will save more power.

After experimenting a few times, leaving a few small wounds on his body, Feige basically figured it out. The Legal Armament gives leather armor an effect similar to that of a high-quality bust (after all, it only has an upper body, no leg protection), and it is good for protection against cuts, stabs, and blunt hits, especially when it weakens lethal damage and makes it "appear" less lethal. Feige wants this, and he wants a "reasonable reason why I'm not dead."

"I'll try to put ceramics in it when I have the chance, and let's make a set of composite armor too!" Fei Qi tried to cast a spell while wearing this "armored jacket", and then found that the metal pieces inside would affect the operation of the lightning bolt spell, that is, there would always be electricity leakage, hurting others and hurting himself. Although for a devil who can be resurrected, desperate is nothing, but it's not good if the painting style is too ugly. That's when he came up with ceramic and composite armor.

"By the way, the crotch still needs to be protected, but what should I do? Iron Piece?" Feige put down his armored jacket and yawned and began to worry about something else.

The night passed, and the next day began with a morning of hangovers and headaches. At this time, no one said that the quality of the wine stored in the Ice Peak Fortress was good, and they all hated why they didn't drink less yesterday. Really smart people, such as the inhabitants of the fortress itself, plus the Qi Si who is still competing today, are all in good spirits and look full of confidence.

The assessment ground is located on the training ground, so there is no need to clean up here, which is very convenient. Inspector Gresham, dressed in military uniform, pressed the top of his head with a lobster iron gauntlet, patting lightly from time to time, and led the paladins to the scene. None of them were in good shape, and they were not even as good as the hired knights of the Marquise of Pohimana next door. Of course, on the one hand, the hired knights drink a lot more, and on the other hand, if they really fight, the paladins will quickly get rid of various disadvantages such as hangovers with the help of divine arts, and their combat effectiveness will still be superior.

"Let's get started. Gresham threw himself into the seat that Kyled had prepared for him, and then announced, "Icepeak Fortress had four new Monster Hunters join last year, which is a very good performance. The last of them to start training was Fitch Hale, now known as Fitch Snowman Icepeak. All things considered, he was able to represent the training level of the newcomers to the Ice Peak Fortress, so it was combined into one game. ”

"Ziss Baker, you're here to test Feige's fighting abilities. It's not a duel, it's not a life-and-death battle, it's just a test. Take out the level, but don't cause serious injuries. Okay, let's get into the venue, you're not kids either. ”

The muscles in Zis's cheeks twitched, and he entered the field with his sword and shield. Feige was armed with a crossbow and a mace at his waist. The combination of near and far obviously has an advantage in the beginning and can be the first to attack. But this advantage only has a chance to strike, and then it will be suppressed by the combination of sword and shield, so the two sides are relatively fair.

It's the armor that's not fair. Zess wears chain mail on top of the inlaid leather armor, although it also has a bit of composite armor, but it is far less than the Fitch who has been strengthened by the Law Army. And he didn't wear a helmet, and Feige wore this pointed iron helmet to protect his ears and the back of his head.

The paladins whispered, despising Feige's bag-like protection. After all, this is just an assessment, and it will not hit the head, the helmet will only affect the sight and movement, and it is more important to play beautifully. And with a crossbow?

"You just ran up to the city wall and used a bed crossbow!The kind that fires barbed nets!" Apparently the paladins of the Sunset Mountains were very clear about the defensive tools of the fortress: "Haha, did you dig a pit beforehand?"

When Zess heard this, he frowned and looked at the ground, which caused the hall to laugh. Feige was not one of them, he jumped a few times on the field, and then came up to Ziss and showed him the crossbow: "Lo and behold, there is no metal but a wooden pole, and the top is flat, just one shot." ”

"Okay. Ziss nodded and replied, "This long sword is blunt, but it still hurts to be knocked once." ”

Listening to his tone, there didn't seem to be much hostility, but Feige decided to be careful. He distanced himself from Zis, and secretly used the "Divine Grace" magic seal to increase his luck.

Gresham shouted "start" and Feige picked up his crossbow and fired. He aimed at Zis's belly, and the crossbow was halfway through the flight and was struck by the sword, and then the demon sent a blow to the unprotected neck. Everyone present was stupid, "How can this be counted?"

If the crossbow hit the neck is equal to the killing effect, it should be counted as a Figee win. But this is a long sword, even if it is a real crossbow arrow, how much lethality can be left? This can only depend on the subjective judgment of the chief officer, or the decision of the people on the field. As a result, Gresham did not declare Feige victorious, and Zis only stopped, did not say that he was defeated, but continued to rush forward with his long sword.

Feiqi frowned, and his eyes became very sharp. He quickly stepped back and threw away his crossbow, but instead of pulling out the mace, he held the goddess's emblem aloft, and cast his magic in the name of divine magic, creating lightning to attack the zis.

The opponent's metal chain mail helped a lot. After the flash of lightning, Zess lay on the ground and passed out, his limbs still shaking uncontrollably.

Feige was clearly victorious.

Feige apparently didn't spare his hand at all.
