Ari was led by one of the guards into a cramped break room. The guard was covered in armor and wore a helmet, and his face could not be seen clearly. After the guard sent Ari into the lounge, he turned and walked out, and said before leaving, "Just stay here, don't run around." I'll let you know later. ”

Ari stopped him and asked, "Eh, this big brother, tell me about it." ”

The guard turned his head and said strangely, "What did you say?" ”

Ari glanced at the empty lounge and said, "Why is it just me and the other contestants?" ”

The guard paused, a little puzzled, "You don't know? ”

Ari smiled, threw a small bag of gold coins to him, and said, "I'm just here to make up the numbers, and I don't know much yet." Brother, tell me about this conference. ”

The guard opened the bag and saw that there were more than a dozen gold coins, so he smiled and replied, "I don't know how you came here, haha, it's nothing anyway, I'll tell you." ”

I only heard the guard say: "Hey, this coming-of-age ceremony of the four princesses, although this swordsmanship conference is held, it will not be just a few formalities." ”

"Oh, dude, what do you say?" Ari asked with a smile.

"The people who come are all predetermined, and the game is also a cutscene, in fact, they are all for the four princesses to see."

Ari pulled the guard to sit down and said, "Isn't it all decided to win or lose?" ”

The guard was not irritated either, and explained: "People are predestined, except for you, who don't know anything, everyone else is favored by the nobles or the army. This competition is a springboard, show your face, and accept it naturally. As for who can win the first place, then I don't know, who doesn't want to be the guard of the four princesses? ”

Ari thought for a moment and said, "In other words, the game is fake, and the ending of the fight is real?" ”

The soldier in armor smiled and said, "You can understand it that way. ”

"Then why am I the only one here, and the others?"

"It's all in their respective lounges, and I'll call you when the time comes." The guard ignored the young man beside him who still had some puzzled eyes, and shook off the gold coin bag and limped away. The man walked out of the lounge, into the dark part of the hallway, and knocked on the wall. Then I saw a small door open on the wall, and the door was dark, and there was a rickety old man standing by the door.

I only heard the old man ask, "Does that little ghost believe it?" ”

The guard couldn't see his face clearly, but he saluted and replied: "I should believe most of them, and even if he doesn't believe it, the current situation will make him have to believe it." ”

"Well, you go first, and you can report anything at any time." After the old man finished speaking, he closed the small door on the wall. The guard looked around, saw that there was no one, and walked away.

Ari sat silent in the cramped lounge. Seeing the young man's gloomy face, the magic sword asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The young man said in his mind, "Since everything is predetermined, why does that blacksmith still want me to participate?" ”

"Didn't he say it was for his daughter's future and money?"

"Determination, determination, what is determination, don't you understand? In other words, his daughter has been favored by the aristocracy or by the army. ”

The magic sword couldn't think of a reason, and said as if uncertain: "Maybe you want to add a chip." ”

"Well, it's possible, but it's unlikely. Looking at it now, the two places are very suspicious, and this scheduled game is also suspicious, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out......"

"Let's run!"

Ari listened to the words of the magic sword and went out to look around. But I saw that there were guards outside the corridor, and forcing them out would only make a disturbance. The boy had no choice but to return to the lounge and take a step at a time.

Not long after resting, the young man was called out by a guard, and judging by the height of this person, it should not be the previous guard. The guard told the boy that the game would start immediately, and told the boy to get ready.

After waiting a little while, Ari started his first game. But the other party was a civilian knight, and the young man pulled out his sword and solved the knight in an instant. The boy came out of the gladiatorial arena and returned to the lounge to the cheers of the audience. Time passed, and the second game of the teenager was also coming soon.

Ari stepped up the stone steps to the colosseum paved with gravel. There were bursts of cheers, and the young man looked up and saw that opposite him was the blacksmith's daughter, Rennie. The young man was a little confused, and said to himself, "Didn't the blacksmith lie to me?" ”

Rainey, a girl with short red hair, dragged the giant sword and walked to the center of the field, pointed at Ari and shouted, "This time is different, I definitely won't lose to you!" ”

Ari sneered in his heart: "This woman's beautiful words are really good at saying, hey, don't let her win ugly!" ”

The magic sword Fachela also smiled: "I also think it's okay, hahaha, chop this woman's clothes to let her win, hahaha......"

Ah Rui pulled out the sword and flipped it in his hand, looking for the feeling of holding the lightsaber, but thinking about how to lose.

"Don't you want to win? I don't think it's okay to win. "The magic sword proposed.

"I can't win, the situation is unclear now, I would have known that I wouldn't have been involved. Lose earlier, go early. ”

Under the scorching sun, sweat oozed from the boy's face; Next to the giant sword, the girl sword squatted sideways. This battle was about to begin, when suddenly a fat man stood up in the stands on the nobleman's side, and the fat man shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Hainrich, since it is a sword fighting competition, can our Void Ancestor's envoys participate?" ”

King Leon Hainrich III looked at the fat man, frowned, and said with a smile: "Since it is a request made by the Void Ancestor Envoys, it is not impossible, but it is ......"

But the fat man kicked his nose in the face and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, presumably let me join now." And I'm also the younger brother of Lord Xuzu Fuzheng, and I also want to show my hands in front of the fourth princess. ”

King Leon thought about the relationship, and after thinking for a while, he agreed: "Since Your Excellency Tianling represents this Void Ancestor Country, I have also entered this request, and I have approved it!" ”

The fat man raised his eyebrows, licked his lips, and smiled as if embarrassed: "The fourth princess Celia is an adult today, and I am only one year older than her. If I get the first place, I won't be any guard, as long as the fourth princess agrees to take me on a tour. ”

It turned out that this fat man's name was Tianling, and he was the younger brother of Lord Xuzu Fuzheng, and since he came with the envoys this time, he was fascinated by the beauty of the fourth princess Celia. But the hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, and Celia was coldly eyed, so he made this decision at this time.

The fourth princess Celia felt disgusted when she saw the fat man, got up and hurriedly shouted to the king: "Father, how can you agree......"

King Leon just shook his head and motioned for Celia to pay attention to the relationship between the two countries. The fourth princess Celia was full of grievances, but she couldn't do it at this time, so she had to vent her anger on this fat man: "You listen to me, even if you get the first, you have to fight with me." I won, and I will agree to your request. ”

This fat man also has a big heart, so he hurriedly agreed. But there are already two people in the field who are about to fight, and it is not good to call anyone down. The king then asked the nobles in the stands, "Which of you think is better than the envoys of the Void Ancestor?" ”

A man in a dark green military uniform in the stands of the nobles immediately stood up and saluted loudly: "Your Majesty, the girl with short red hair in the field is named Rainey, and she has been favored by the 'Iron Wolf Knights'. It's better to call this girl named Rennie down and let the young man with the knife compete with His Excellency Tianling. ”

The King of Lyon thought about it and was right.

Rainey snorted at Ari in the middle of the pitch and was reluctantly taken down. Ari couldn't understand why this was the case, but felt that he was in an invisible net.

In the stands of the aristocracy, a dark-skinned man in leather armor touched another man next to him and asked in a low voice, "Barn, do you find it strange?" ”

The man named Barn was the head of the Iron Wolf Knights, and his full name was Barn Basheut. I saw that the head of Barn was about twenty-five years old, with short silver-white hair, and was dressed in a pitch-black armor, and he was unusually handsome. To his left was the dark-skinned man, and on his right was a woman with long chestnut hair. This woman wore a long white dress and looked unusually sweet; She leaned lightly on Barn's shoulder, her face full of happiness.

I only heard the head of Barn sneer, and whispered to the swarthy man, "Hyde, let's not get involved in these people's affairs. We watch ours, see how they make trouble, how they play. ”

The swarthy man named Hyde pondered, "As it seems now, there is probably something wrong with that girl named Rainey, or the group will not recruit her." ”

"Recruit, still have to recruit. It's just ......," the young leader smiled mysteriously, "it's just that we have to investigate, and when we recruit her, we can see if we can dig up the big fish behind her." ”

"Well, good!" The swarthy man nodded.

The fat man named Tianling ignored the person who wanted to take him up the stairs, and jumped directly into the gladiatorial arena from the stands. This fat man may want to show off in front of the fourth princess Celia, but this stand is more than five meters high from the gladiatorial arena below, and this fat man is a wine bag and rice bag. I saw the fat man jump down with a thud, and fell with a plop and gnawed on.

The laughter in the audience rose and fell like waves, but the fat man didn't seem to care, got up and walked up to Ari's eyes and smiled, laughing as if his mouth was full of oil.

Ari had never seen such a fat person, and the person in front of him seemed to be a big round ball. The boy couldn't help but feel disgusted, and took a few steps back with his knife.

But the fat man was too thick-skinned, and he narrowed the distance, and grinned in a low voice: "Eh, boy, how about making a deal?" You let me win, I'll give you ten thousand...... No, I'll give you 100,000 gold coins, how about it? ”

Ah Rui really smiled in his heart, and even looked at this fat man and became cute. He didn't want to be involved in this invisible whirlpool again, so he quickly nodded in agreement. Seeing that the young man agreed, the fat man hurriedly took a few steps back, put his palms in front of him, and put on a nondescript posture.

Ah Rui asked in his heart: "Is this big fat man powerful?" ”

"Huh, haha...... I sensed it, this ball of meat has no magic at all! But this fat meat should be delicious. The magic sword replied with a sneer.

Ari laughed and rushed towards the fat man with his knife in his hand. The fat man was also doing the same, pushing his palms wildly, as if countless air waves would be pushed out of his palms. Ari pretended to be in the middle of the palm and fell backwards in some exaggerated terms. The fat man didn't give up, and rushed while pushing his palms.

These two are like plays on the stage, and a discerning person knows that it is too fake at a glance. Seeing this, the King of Lyon frowned, and his face was gloomy; The fourth princess Celia next to her also didn't look very good-looking.

In the aristocratic stands, the swarthy Hyde patted Barnes on the shoulder beside him and laughed: "This has become a farce, and the face of the false motherland can be lost by this fat man." Hey, it's a shame to even take our empire with you. ”

Barn squinted at the farce in the field and smiled, "That fat man can't stand it." ”

"What?" Hyde looked confused.

It was not yet noon, but the sun was nearing the clubhead. Ari pretended to be invincible and rolled around on the ground, and the fat man chased after him. But seeing that the fat man was sweating profusely, his steps were becoming more and more vain, and his round face was gurgling with oil and water. The boy who was rolling on the ground was still thinking about why the fat man didn't come up with a handsome finishing blow, but he saw the fat man fall to the ground with a bang, unconscious.

Seeing the fat man fall to the ground, two people in white robes in the Void Ancestor envoy group in the stands immediately flew down and hurriedly went to the fat man to check. The two of them were full of astonishment after checking it, and one of them turned around and shouted: "The second son has a heat stroke...... and then jumped into the stands with the fat man on his back, and walked away with the rest of the people in the Void Ancestor envoy group.

There was a sigh in the entire arena, and some people in the envoys of the dark elves and Belmar laughed: "This time, the face of the Void Motherland has been lost by this Tianling." ”

Laughter and grin, this group of people from the Void Motherland walked faster.

The king of Leon wanted to laugh and was annoyed, laughing at the uselessness of this fat man named Tianling, and his anger ruined the atmosphere. The king sighed helplessly, and ordered the guards beside him, "Go and see if the Void Ancestor envoys need any help." The guard held back a smile and hurried away.

In the aristocratic stands, the dark-skinned Hyde laughed and exclaimed, "This brother of the False Motherland's Auxiliary Minister, I didn't expect it to be so useless. ”

"yes, it's totally rammed." Barn was laughing beside him, and the woman in the white dress next to him was also laughing, "Although his brother is a martial artist, he is a rare genius when it comes to national politics. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, and I said that these two brothers were both literate and martial, but I didn't think that my younger brother was a fool. ”

The laughter was like a wave, and there was a lot of laughter. Ari was stunned, his face was stunned, he didn't expect that the outcome would be like this, he had known that he would have pretended to be dead. But the matter had come to this, and there was no choice but to go to the center of the field and salute the king in the stands.

The King of Lyon didn't expect it to turn into a farce, and at this time he was on pins and needles, and he just wanted this funny convention to end as soon as possible. The king immediately asked, "Will, is there only one last game left?" ”

Will, who was cloaked in a red cloak, immediately stepped forward and saluted and replied, "Yes, it's just Dan and this boy in the field." ”

"Then it's over now, it's over soon." The king covered his forehead.

"Yes!" Will was ordered to retreat.

The fourth princess Celia had a good face, and said to King Leon with a smile: "Father, hasn't this kid in the field been recruited by others yet?" ”

"Hmm." The king raised his eyes and snorted.

"I see him as pleasing to the eye, whether he wins in the end or not, I will reward him as my guard." Celia thought for a moment and added, "If he wins, I'd like to go down and fight!" ”

The king sighed and said 'whatever you want'.

In the middle of the field, Ville handed over to Ari and went to the stands. The boy stood in the middle of the field under the scorching sun for a short while, and then saw a man in black armor coming out of the entrance. This person is also strange, covered in armor, only showing a pair of eyes, and I don't know if he is hot or not on such a hot day.

This strange man has a long sword at his waist and no shield. He walked up to Ari and didn't say much, just said, "Hello, my name is Dan, do you need to take a break?" ”

When the armored monster named Dan saw Ari shaking his head, he drew his long sword at his waist and made an offensive appearance.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Will's words fell from the stands, Dan rushed forward with his sword in hand. Ari wanted to play a trick and pretend to be dead, so that his loss this time would be more justified; I don't want the person named Dan to be a dead hand as soon as he makes a move, and he is completely motivated to kill.

Dan's speed was too fast, and the sword was at least years ahead. Ari's diagonal sword was separated, and he slashed when he turned around. Unexpectedly, Dan squatted down and moved down, slamming his shoulders and knees, and the magic on the long sword pulled into the air with the propped body. Ah Rui was startled, and exclaimed: "This, break the army and ascend to the dragon attack!" ”

The boy was lifted into the air with a long sword with an exclamation, and Dan Teng jumped up and slashed at Ah Rui in the air. Fortunately, Ari had a magical power to protect himself, and he was relieved of a lot of damage, but when he landed, he was already covered with sword wounds, and blood flowed. Fortunately, the wound was very shallow, and the boy was able to stand up again.

The magic sword couldn't help muttering: "That person's magic power is not as much as yours!" ”

Ah Rui smiled in his heart: "But I know more sword skills than me." ”

"Do you want that trick?"

"There are too many people to use it."

"Then admit defeat!"

"Look at this person's eyes yourself, when I let down my guard, when I admit defeat, this person will definitely take the opportunity to stab me to death." Ari smiled helplessly in his heart.

The magic sword Fachela looked at it intently under the perception, and saw that the armored man named Dan had bloodshot eyes and a long sword in his hand, completely trying to kill Ari on the spot.

Dan, who was covered in black armor, rushed forward quickly, his long sword in his hand three diagonal strokes, and his knees were at least in front of him. Ah Rui wanted to flash to the side, afraid that Dan would use the 'Breaking Army Ascending Dragon Strike' again. But this Dan sword momentum turned, and it did not use the 'Breaking Army Ascending Dragon Attack', but it was three consecutive diagonal slashes. Ari couldn't avoid it, so he had to raise his sword to block it.

The long sword struck the blue sword with a clanging sound. After Dan finished slashing three times in a row, he raised his leg and kicked Ari's stomach. Ari was kicked in the chest and abdomen, and rolled to the ground with splattered blood.

The magic sword hurriedly said: "What are you still hesitating about, if you are killed, there will be nothing." Why do you want to do so much, you die but two lives. ”

Ari stood up with his sword, his eyes were fierce, his left palm was clenched, and he shouted: "Come!" ”

Purple-black lightning converged in the young man's left hand, condensing into a black-purple spear. The spear was electrified, the black thunder was scorching, and the surrounding space was covered by lightning in an instant.
