Chapter 249: Futaba Town (II)
Walking down the street, Pheren looked curiously at the neighborhood in front of him, and beside him, Franke and Kurona had the same expressions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was noon, and there weren't many pedestrians on the street, but it was easy to distinguish their status from their clothing. Those who are fully armed are naturally soldiers, and those who are dressed in shabby clothes are basically slaves and servants, on the contrary, those who are dressed differently, but are clean and tidy, should be the upper class inhabitants here, this is not because of the arbitrariness of Feren, but because those who come and go are followed by an envoy.
That's interesting.........
Seeing a falcon-like demon swaggering past in front of him, Fei Lun was curious, he could be sure that the other party did not use any special means to restrain these demons in his imagination, but these demons were quite obedient, which made Fei Lun really a little puzzled, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about this Futaba Town.
"Delin, do you feel anything wrong here?"
Thinking of this, Fei Lun couldn't help but lower his voice and asked the black cat lying on his shoulder. In Fei Lun's opinion, Futaba Town was able to collect so many demons, either the forces here created some special means to restrain the demons, or the core characteristics of the nodes here could be related to suppressing the demons, otherwise why would those bear children make demons obedient? At this moment, it seems normal to look at other people's demons, so Faeron has to think about the problem from another aspect.
"No, master."
Hearing Feron's inquiry, the black cat first licked his paws before speaking softly.
"I just feel like everything is normal, there's no threat here, but ........."
"But what?"
"But......... I don't know how to say it, I don't really want to make trouble here........."
Saying this, Delin couldn't help but turn her head to look around, and there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"It's an intuition that can't be explained in words, but it's like walking on the ice and instinctively slowing .........down."
"I see."
Hearing Delin's answer, Fallon nodded. The demon always has a strange intuition that humans can't imagine, and it seems that there is something here. Or maybe it's because those demons instinctively perceive some kind of danger, so they don't dare to act rashly here? If that's the case, then what is it that can make these demon capitals go from bear children to good students?
"Franca, how do you feel?"
Thinking of this, Franca looked at Franca on the other side of him, and when he heard Feren's inquiry, Franca shook his head.
"I don't feel anything, master."
That's right, after all, it's not a regular demon.........
Just as Faren was thinking, the voice of the man in the suit in front of him sounded again.
"Mr. Ferron, since you know our rules, you should know that we need you to put to the test."
"You mean placement matches."
Of course, Fei Lun understood what the man in the suit said, and when he heard Fei Lun's inquiry, a smile finally appeared on the dead face of the man in the suit.
"It seems that Mr. Faeron really knows, that's right, since you have joined our Futaba Town, then you must first participate in the classification competition, through the classification competition, we can judge the strength and level of the power that you and your demons have, so as to determine the level of the inhabitants to be given to you, I think, Mr. Feiren should understand."
"Of course."
Fei Lun didn't care about this, the fist was always the king in the wasteland, and it was a matter of course in terms of strength.
"So, what are we going to do?"
"We'll go to the arena now, and after entering the arena, Mr. Ferron, you can choose one of the five demon guardians stationed in the arena to challenge, as long as you can get the approval of that guardian, or defeat the other party, then you can get the residency of Futaba Town......... Of course, none of these five Guardians are easy to deal with, and be careful, none of them are very good, and one bad one is likely to hurt your demons...... So choose carefully, after all, everyone only has two chances, and if you fail two consecutive challenges, then you will have to leave Futaba Town........."
While listening to the detailed explanation of the man in the suit, Fei Lun and his party came to the "arena" he called under the leadership of the man in the suit, and the so-called "arena" is actually nothing more than an abandoned equestrian arena. It's just that unlike what Feron expected, this place is not deserted, on the contrary, it is quite lively.
"So many people here in the placement tournament?"
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Faeron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Looking around, there are about fifty or sixty people here, and with their demons, it's quite a lot.
"When you join Futaba Town, you will have the opportunity to level up once a year."
The man in the suit was not surprised by this, and quickly gave an answer.
"A lot of people have just come here, and they only dare to challenge the lowest-level guardians, and although they have obtained the qualifications to live in Futaba Town, they will naturally not be too good in terms of treatment. And if they are able to level up the challenge, they can increase their resident level. ”
Saying this, the man in the suit showed a confident smile, and then looked at Fei Lun and spoke.
"According to the rules, new entrants don't have to queue up and can challenge immediately, which Guardian do you want to challenge?"
As he spoke, the man in the suit glanced at the black cat lying on Fei Lun's shoulder. Although he is just an ordinary person, he is not a capable person, and he has no demons. But I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs run, so I have some understanding of the strength and level of the demon. Although Delin had already shown the ability to manipulate lightning at the gate just now, she was still in animal form, and generally speaking, the strength of the animal form was relatively low, so in the eyes of the man in the suit, Fei Lun would probably choose a relatively simple test.
But............ Pheren said, why should he be compared to those weak chickens?
"Will I be able to play in the Guardian's test?"
"This ........."
Hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, the man in the suit couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't often hear such a question. Generally speaking, ordinary people are afraid to avoid the demons, so how can anyone take the initiative to find trouble with the demons? But since Faeron raised this question, the man in the suit naturally had to answer it.
"This ......... If it doesn't go down in the rules, then it should be okay, but Mr. Pheren, you have to think clearly, no matter what happens in the arena, you won't be disturbed by others. In other words, if you die in the arena, no one will come to save you! ”
"Okay, I got it."
Hearing this, Faeron's heart was even more excited, only to see him glance at the racecourse in front of him, ponder for a moment, and then give an answer.
"So, let's go find the strongest one."
“……… Huh? ”
Hearing Fei Lun's answer, the man in the suit was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he reacted, and looked at Fei Lun with wide eyes in surprise.
"Sir, do you mean to challenge the S-rank Guardian?"
"I don't know if it's S or M, anyway, just call the strongest one out and serve."
"Call it out........."
Hearing this, the man in the suit had a completely crying and laughing expression, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Faeron again.
"Mr. Ferron, have you really decided? You know, this guardian is very powerful, but he is also very short-tempered, once you step into the arena, then I am afraid that life and death will not be up to you! ”
"I know."
This time, without waiting for the man in the suit to say anything more, Fei Lun interrupted his dissuasion with a wave of his hand.
"I've decided."
"Okay........."
Hearing what Fei Lun said, the man in the suit couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh helplessly, and then led Fei Lun and his party towards the innermost arena.
Although the arena itself was large, there were not a few people, and soon, the news that a newcomer wanted to challenge the S-class guardian suddenly spread. For a while, many people even gave up their promotion matches, and instead flocked to the arena where Faeron was, firstly, they were quite interested in the daring newcomer, and secondly, they also wanted to see the power of the legendary S-class guardian. It is rumored that since the establishment of Futaba Town, there have been no more than ten people who dare to challenge the S-class guardians, and none of them have passed the level safely. And for many people who join Futaba Town, the S-class guardian is a rumored god, and everyone wants to see it. It's just that basically no one was stupid enough to do this kind of thing before, but now, since some people are willing to go up, then others will naturally be happy to have fun to watch.
Under the energy network, rumors can be much faster than word of mouth, and soon, there are more and more people in the arena that originally only had a few dozen people, and soon more than a hundred. Many people gathered around the S-class arena not far away and talked about this bold newcomer, and naturally there was a strong presence in Futaba Town.
"Who do you think would challenge an S-Class Guardian?"
Looking at the arena in front of her, a woman with short brown hair tilted her head with a smile, looked at the middle-aged man beside her, and asked. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked the demon on her shoulder -- it was a phoenix with flames burning all over her body, but under the woman's touch, the fire phoenix lowered its head affectionately, touched the woman's hand, and let out a soft sound.
"Humph!"
Hearing the woman's inquiry, the middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"Aren't you just a fool?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man grabbed the iron chain in his hand and pulled it hard, and with his movements, a demon with a black body and two heads, like a lion, roared and glared at the arena in front of him viciously. And perceiving the gaze of this demon, the other people who were originally blocking it also immediately retreated, for fear that one would accidentally become the other party's food.
"If you're a fool, then what are you doing here?"
This time it was an old man who spoke out, and judging from his white beard, he was probably at least eighty years old. At this moment, the old man was leaning on the wheelchair, squinting his eyes, and looking at the middle-aged man beside him with a sly smile. And behind him, stood a woman of great beauty.
Of course, the premise is to ignore the words of the snake tail on her lower body.
"I'm just here to see the Guardians."
In the face of the old man's ridicule, the middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged.
"I've been in Futaba Town for so long, and I've never seen an S-class guardian........."
"Then you go and challenge it, won't you see it?"
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the woman on the other side interrupted him with a smile, and when he heard this, the middle-aged man's face sank.
"Hmph, what does this have to do with you?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing that the middle-aged man was angry, the woman on the other side naturally did not provoke him, but looked at the old man next to him curiously.
"Uncle, you've been in Futaba Town for so long, it's a living dictionary here, tell us, what is an S-class guardian like?"
"Don't look at me, I don't know."
Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, the old man also smiled bitterly, and then sat up straight.
"I've lived so long and I've never seen an S-class Guardian, and in general, S-Class Guardians don't take on a challenge."
"What?"
Hearing this, not only the middle-aged man and the woman beside him were stunned, but the other people next to him who pricked up their ears were also surprised. It's no wonder that they've always thought that placement and promotion matches are only a matter of whether they can successfully pass them, and those Guardians won't refuse their challenges, but now it seems that this is not the case?
"But the other Guardians ........."
"Other Guardians are other Guardians, but S-Class Guardians are different."
Without waiting for the woman to ask, the old man shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"So uncle, why are you here here? Aren't we busy? ”
Hearing this, the woman pursed her lips dissatisfied. But this time, the old man shook his head.
"No, this time it's different."
"Different?"
"That's right."
As he spoke, the old man raised his head and looked at the arena in front of him. I saw that Fei Lun was standing there, stroking the black cat lying in his arms. The old man frowned slightly when he looked at this scene.
"It's not that there haven't been people who don't know the height of the sky and tried to challenge the S-class guardians, but they were basically turned away and couldn't get on the arena at all. And now, since this kid has stepped onto the arena and is standing there, it means that the S-class guardian has accepted his challenge. ”
"That's interesting............"
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but squint her eyes and looked carefully at the black cat in Feren's arms.
"No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary demon, and there's nothing worth paying attention to at all."
"Then it's the person himself who deserves attention."
The middle-aged man answered, and then stopped talking.
And at this moment, suddenly, everyone felt a strange chill suddenly appear, and even the flame burning by the fire phoenix on the woman's shoulder seemed to have weakened a lot at this moment. Feeling this chill, the old man's face changed slightly, and he shouted in a low voice.
"It's coming!"
The cold wind howled.
Feren looked up and looked ahead. I saw that in front, on the originally empty arena, a black shadow slowly emerged and fell from the sky. Seeing this black shadow, Fei Lun was stunned for a moment, and then, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
"It's really a life where you don't meet......... Don't come unharmed? ”
In response to Faeron's greeting, the black shadow did not speak, instead, it slowly spun and turned into a form that seemed to be a person wearing a black cloak. Then, the black shadow floated forward like a ghost, and at the same time, a sharp scythe emerged from the black cloak and slashed towards Faeron!
