Chapter 1894: Competitive Testing
If it takes all the best to fight with Emily, then it takes a lot of life to fight with Achilles.
It's hard not to play with my life, his casual stab is enough to pierce my body.
What's more, he's been using the power of fading when he fights me.
I'm quite unhappy with his use of the power of transformation, he can abuse me like a dog without the power of transformation, and if he uses the power of transformation, he doesn't play me like a chicken!
However, Achilles did not think so, and he thought that with my talent and the speed of progress, it would not be long before a national power would come to my door.
Hearing this, I was confused, why, the national power is idle enough to start doing such things as door-to-door challenges?
What's the difference between this and door-to-door sales?
Achilles explained: "Door-to-door sales are to sell goods, and the door-to-door consultation with you is a preliminary affirmation of your strength, and I want to test whether you can be qualified to step into the ranks of national power in the future." ”
I listened to it and said disdainfully: "This is your rule at that time, please, thousands of years have passed now, but I'm afraid that the national forces have long forgotten this set of rules." ”
Achilles was not angry at my disdain, he said calmly: "Not long ago, I just met several national forces, and some of them have drawn up the latest list of participants, two of them are your fiancées, one is Bai Yunying, and the other is Emily. ”
Listening to Achilles's words, I shrugged disapplausively, Bai Yunying and Emily are my fiancées This matter is well known to passers-by in Moonlight City, and the strength of Bai Yunying and Emily is also convincing to everyone, using them as examples to stimulate my growth still has a certain meaning and credibility.
Although it seems a bit naïve to make a fuss about the names and strength of the two, in order to stimulate the desire of newcomers to grow, it is still possible for Achilles to do this kind of thing.
So even if I don't take Achilles' words seriously in my heart, I still have to show him something in terms of performance and action, after all, people are kind, and we, as juniors, can't live up to his expectations.
So from that day on, my discussion with Achilles was also on the agenda.
During the discussion, Achilles was very interested in my Xilan sword technique, and he told me that in the Battle of Troy, he had fought side by side with a person who used the Xilan sword technique, and that person's strength was about the same as Emily's, but because of the subtlety of the Xilan sword technique, he was faintly close to Achilles in terms of overall strength, and became one of the few people who shined in the Trojan battle.
It's just that his strength is not good after all, and in the process of confronting the boss, he was hit hard by monsters one after another, and finally died.
Achilles' narration made me feel so twisted that I felt like he was cursing me to death.
However, looking at the vicissitudes and sorrows of his face, he probably said it unintentionally.
In short, Achilles' words are mainly intended to convey the meaning that 'the Xilan knife technique is a promising knife technique'.
I gladly accepted Achilles' advice.
In a blink of an eye, Emily and I had just returned home side by side, and found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.
Her long, soft blonde hair was coiled high, two oak hairpins were staggered in a bun, she was fair-skinned, her face was delicate, a pair of pointed ears were long, even longer than Emily's, and a pair of round earrings made of gold hung from the earlobes, which were unusually large, almost as big as bracelets, and I couldn't help but worry a little about whether the earrings would tear her earlobes.
After two more glances at the woman, I whispered to Emily, "Do you know her?" ”
Emily shook her head slightly.
As soon as I was about to step forward to say hello, the female elf stood up first, with a polite smile on her face, nodded at me, and said, "I've seen Elder An Xiaoyi." ”
I also politely returned the salute and asked, "Dare to ask why you came to my house?" ”
The female elf nodded and said in a deep voice: "I take the liberty of coming here, I hope you will forgive me, let me introduce myself first, my name is Sothia, and I am the owner of the Moonlight Tavern." ”
I have naturally heard the name of the Moonlight Tavern, but it is not a small storefront, but it is very deserted, only a dozen people sit and drink every day, and most of them are regular customers, such a non-profitable tavern, I naturally don't take it seriously.
I didn't expect the owner of the Moonlight Tavern to come to the door today, because he couldn't continue to operate, and he planned to borrow money to revive himself? Or do you want to sell me the Moonshine Tavern? Or are you planning to join forces with my café?
A series of questions came to my mind, and I pondered for a moment and asked, "It turns out that you are the owner of the Moonlight Tavern, who has been looking up for a long time, and I dare to ask you whether you are here today to discuss business matters, or ......?"
"It's not about business," Sosia smiled, "I'm here to deliver an invitation." ”
"Invitation?" My eyes rolled: "Is the Moonlight Tavern going to open a branch?" ”
"No," Sosia shook her head, "It's an invitation to Ms. Bai Yunying and Ms. Emily to come to the Moonlight Tavern for a discussion." ”
My eyebrows twitched, and I blurted out, "The trial of national strength? ”
Sosia stared at me for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "It seems that Elder An Xiaoyi already knows about this, and Achilles told you about it." ”
"So what Achilles said is true......" I muttered.
Sosia chanted a spell, and a delicate invitation slowly appeared in her palm, and she stretched out her hand, handed the invitation to Emily, and said, "Lady Emily, I invite you to participate in the trial in the name of the national power of Moonlight City, are you going to accept it, or refuse it?" ”
"I accept," Emily said without thinking.
Solemnly accepting the invitation, Emily held it tightly in her hand and asked, "When will this competition begin?" ”
"Three days later, in the morning," Sosia said lightly, "at the Moonlight Tavern." ”
Seeing Sosia off, we sat around the hall, staring at the two invitations on the coffee table in silence.
Yura, whose eyes were wide-eyed, was the first to speak: "I have only heard before that the national power will invite potential newcomers to take the competition test, but I didn't expect this to be true!" ”
"I've heard of it, too," Cagalli said, "but I haven't seen it." ”
"I've seen it," Princess Aurora said softly.
"Huh, you've seen the sparring test?" Cagalli asked, "When, where?" ”
"Well......" Princess Aurora recalled a little, muttered a few words to Milulu, nodded after being sure, and said, "The most recent one was two years and three months ago, and my father took me there. ”
"How?" I asked, "Isn't it cruel to take a test?" ”
"It's not cruel, it's intense," Princess Aurora said, "It's not uncommon for a test person to be slightly injured or seriously injured, but no one has ever died. ”
