Chapter 22 - Before the First Round

After the challenge, Lu Ming sat in the crowded audience and began to watch the performance of the organizer, Count Artus Lecod, the Fire Storm Beast, and the Little Tree Spirit in the carnival crowd.

Before the game started, Lu Ming looked around. This jousting arena under a large park in the business district is really nice. Although it can only accommodate about 20,000 to 20,000 spectators, it can also bring a lot of income to Paris City.

Illuminated by the brilliant magic lamps on the ceiling, the Count of Lecod began his one-man show. Like Lu Ming, it is very easy for him to deal with his opponent. Just like Lu Ming, if it was really a life-and-death duel, the other party would probably be killed by Lu Ming or Lecode in an instant! It's just that the difference between them is that both humans and Pokemon can kill in an instant and can only rely on Pokemon to kill enemies.

Unlike Lu Ming, a magician, Lecod is more of a Pokemon trainer than a warrior, magician, archer, or the like.

In the first game, under the strong attack of the Fire Storm Beast, the opponent only lasted less than two minutes before being won very easily. In the second game, it was obvious that Lecod had some small mistakes when he was with the little tree spirit. But before the Fire Storm Beast went down, Lecod learned Lu Ming's method, let the Fire Storm Beast use the light, and let the little tree spirit rely on photosynthesis to slightly strengthen a little bit when he played, and then beat the opponent a little bit more dangerously.

"Sunny has no speed-up effect on the little tree spirits, is it because the characteristic is not chlorophyll? Or is it because there is no feature at all? Lu Ming looked at the little tree spirit who was happy to win his opponent in the ring, and whispered to himself in Chinese.

"Congratulations, Count Lecod! Relying on the little tree spirit recruited from the park, he easily defeated the opponent! ”

After Saldaro's unsavvy commentator announced that the winner was Count Lecode, a member of the jousting staff handed another magic device to Count Lecod and asked him to say a few words to the contestants and spectators.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to Paris City to participate in and watch the Warcraft Assist Battle Tournament organized by my Artus Lecod. As you think, Warcraft can be our partner. They can be guards, buddies, buddies, and sidekicks! To prove it, I held this contest! ”

"I hope you can learn that those monsters can also be loyal companions through this competition! So please enjoy showing your own strength and your own Warcraft in this competition! Believe in yourself and your partner! You will be the strongest! ”

"Oh~!!" As if in response to Lecod, most of the audience and contestants shouted.

Only contestants like Lu Ming who were forced to participate and were cheated did not scream.

After a long and smelly speech, the Count of Lecod said, "Because we have a lot of contestants, we use a double-elimination format. When a contestant is defeated, they will enter the lower bracket, where they will fight their way through the repechage! In addition, we will be divided into four teams, southeast, northwest and northwest, and the top four will be determined in the four martial arts arenas in the southeast and northwest of Paris City! The semi-finals, finals, and third-place matches will be held in the square outside the Lord's Palace! ”

"Then I declare that the Warcraft Assist Battle Contest is now officially begins! The first round of the competition will start at 7 o'clock today! Don't miss it! ”

Soon, Lu Ming and other contestants began to withdraw one after another, preparing for the evening competition. They don't have as much time as the audience has to listen to the nonsense of Count Artus Lecode.

"It was a great game." Outside the martial arts arena, Lu Ming and the very excited Kanina and Ella met Lily, Miral, Sham, Jack and others who came to watch the game.

"Wonderful? I'm almost depressed! Lu Ming stepped forward, hugged Lily in his arms all of a sudden, and complained a little angrily.

"But in this way, you can also be quickly accepted by those nobles, and when you are promoted in the future, there will be no trouble." Sham got into Lu Ming's arms and smiled and relieved Lily.

However, Lu Ming didn't think so. He was still a little dissatisfied, so he laughed in the ears of his two fiancées: "Go back and see if I don't get you two pregnant!" ”

Hearing this, Lily and Sham's faces turned red all of a sudden.

However, just as he walked out of the entrance of the martial arts arena and came to the ground, Lu Ming saw a person from a distance.

"I saw an acquaintance, you guys wait for me." In this way, Lu Ming only said one word to everyone, and then took Kanina's Luka to chase that person.

"He's going to see an acquaintance, why did he take my Luka?"

"He has his considerations, so don't complain."

Although it was a little strange, Lily and Sham chose to take everyone back to eat first. After Lu Ming came back, he was ready to watch the evening game.

On the other side, Lu Ming and Luka were following the man closely, walking through the streets that had become crowded because of the Warcraft Assist Battle.

It wasn't until they managed to get out of the crowded street that the man plunged headlong into a small alley with no people.

But when Lu Ming and Luka came here, they found that the man was gone.

"Luca uses her sense of smell to find her!" Looking at the empty alley, Lu Ming immediately ordered the roadcard on the side.

Hearing this, Luca immediately sniffed in the air, then stretched out his hand and pointed to a corner of the alley.

Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't talk nonsense, just hit it with a fine snow, freezing that place!

"You're a bleak soul! What are you doing here!? Before being completely frozen, a little girl in a black Hanfu suddenly jumped out of the place where the fine snow hit, narrowly avoiding the attack of the fine snow.

"I don't think I need to talk much nonsense about a thug like you!" Lu Ming smiled slightly, and said to the little spirit fairy while taking out the Pihaim magic staff.

"I'm just helping those centaurs hold you back, there's a thug there!?"

"It's useless to talk too much! Take the move! Seed machine guns! "I don't want to say more, Lu Ming directly shot a seed machine gun.

A series of seeds were hit by Lu Ming at the little spirit fairy, but the little spirit fairy suddenly held up a turquoise shield and completely blocked the seed machine gun.

"Is this protection?" Looking at the shield held up by the little spirit fairy, Lu Ming frowned slightly.

"I'll take the snow and the seed machine gun, but you'd better lie here obediently!" The little spirit fairy smiled weirdly, and then used the seed machine gun on Lu Ming!

"Luka Use Protection!" The same skill is blocked in the same way. But in the next moment, Lu Ming suddenly moved at high speed, and ran in front of the little spirit fairy from the wall of the alley.

"Telekinesis!" But before Lu Ming could make a move, the little spirit fairy's eyes launched bursts of blue fluorescence, and a mysterious force restrained Lu Ming's body and smashed it viciously against the wall.

"Plot!"

Lu Ming knew that telekinesis was a superpower-based skill, so he could break free from the shackles of superpower-based attacks by relying on the skills of the evil system that were immune to superpower-based attacks. Moreover, the moment he broke free, Lu Ming also launched an attack on the little spirit immortal!

"Go hard!" Knowing that it was impossible to dodge this blow, Xiao Lingxian chose to exchange injuries for injuries, and the moment Lu Ming's secret plan hit her, she forcibly slapped Lu Ming's chest.

However, Lu Ming's luck was very good, and the little spirit fairy's strength did not make Lu Ming fall into a state of numbness.

"Nitrate Charge!" "Waves of water!"

After standing firm, Lu Ming launched an attack again, so that the little spirit fairy had to hastily use a counterattack to defend against Lu Ming's move.

A water-based fluctuating energy ball was hit by the little spirit fairy, and it was right on Lu Ming's body, which was wrapped in flames. In an instant, a large amount of water splashed in all directions, and the scorching water vapor overflowed, obscuring Lu Ming and the little spirit fairy's vision.

But even under the attack of the water fluctuation, under the cheating of the water curtain and water vapor, Lu Ming's magic wand still hit the body of the little spirit fairy, hitting it to the ground in an instant.

However, in the next moment, the little spirit fairy suddenly turned into a black fox in a burst of fluorescence, jumped up from the black Hanfu, bit the arm of Lu Ming's hand holding the magic wand, and knocked him down.

"Damn! Go get the Poké Ball! ”

Under the torture of the sharp teeth of the black fox tearing at the flesh and blood, Lu Ming forcibly endured the pain, took out the mobile phone from his clothes, and took out a poke ball from the mobile phone and smashed it on the fox's head.

The moment the Poké Ball smashed on the fox's head, the Poké Ball opened, sucked the fox into the ball at once, shook it slightly, and was caught by the Poké Ball.

"Ha~ha~ha~" gasped, Lu Ming poured a bottle of primordial bottles. With the help of Luka, he took the Poké Ball and stood up with some difficulty.

"Luka, let's go home."

"Whew~!" ――

"Didn't you go to meet an acquaintance? How did it come to this? Lily couldn't help but ask while helping Lu Ming, who was not lightly injured, to take off his clothes.

"I didn't say I was a friend. And, that's pretty good. Although it hurt so much that he grinned his teeth, Lu Ming still had a hint of a smile on his face.

"You guy, you can't do this again. I'm not a free doctor! After giving Lu Ming a recovery blow, Jack, who was dressed in a rich man's clothes, said a little angrily.

"Got it. I didn't mean to do this, either. Sighing helplessly, Lu Ming walked into the bathroom with Lily's support and washed off the blood stains on his body.

But during this period, Lu Ming had a very unruly relationship with Lily, and it wasn't until Sham urged them that he put on a set of laundry clothes and walked out of the bathroom under Lily's service.

At this time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

It's time to get ready for the night's game. However, the little spirit fairy who had helped the centaur drag him appeared in Paris City, so Lu Ming had to be careful. While it is unlikely that the Grand Duke of Musberheim would personally deal with his little baron, it is unlikely that a nobleman who has a good relationship with the Centaur Viscount will be as magnanimous as the Grand Duke.

Moreover, the appearance of the little spirit fairy also indicates that this Warcraft Assistance Battle Contest is not as simple as it seems?

Just when Lu Ming was feeling uncomfortable with the Warcraft Assisted Battle Contest because of the appearance of the little spirit fairy, in a high-end mansion for guests at the other end of the aristocratic district, Count Harvin Leggett, another confidant of the Grand Duke of Hadis, was listening to the reports of several nobles' subordinates in the study.

"Those blue-skinned monsters, the Lifesuckers have cleared them of all that is left, and they have fled into the depths of the forests of Typhon and Helen. Don't worry! ”

"From the participants in this competition, we have identified several suitable candidates for the program, and with the right guidance, they will be good pathfinders."

"Lord Amani has once again made contact with the Nether Church, and while they have abandoned their plans to continue their march into Puru, they have promised the Church to continue our plans to help us."

Hearing this, Count Leggett suddenly spoke: "Those gloomy monsters are not worth believing. The last time they said they were helping us, ended up using Yusaha Sachi to help them gain a foothold in Pulu. If we cooperate with them, we must be the ones who are unlucky in the end! ”

"Yes, Lord Count!"

"Be careful, Lifesuckers of Longor. So what the purpose of the dark and evil things to help us is unknown, and don't trust people who shouldn't be trusted, like Yusaha Sachi's girl! ”

"Yes!"

Count Leggett glanced coldly at his men and asked, "Is there anything else?" If it doesn't work, go and ask Amani to get in touch with the undead team to which Lu Ming belongs. This army, which even a force like the Gloomy Church, does not dare to have the slightest disrespect to the army, if it can be subjugated to our feet, then Erepos and Tartarus, and even the entire Miracaissa, do not have to worry about the threat of the Manjes Empire! ”

"But Lord Earl, the Immortals have already shown hostility when we were working with the Shadow and Longor. I don't think they're likely to join us. ”

"Don't forget, our sword-biting wolf is one of them. With him, plus a little lie and sacrifice, they can obediently contact us and help us! ”

"Okay. We know we're going to get Master Amani in touch with the Undead Force. Several of Count Leggett's men looked at each other, and then they all agreed with some reluctance to Leggett's somewhat hypothetical plan.

But at this moment, the captain of Leggett's personal guard suddenly walked in and said respectfully to Count Leggett: "According to the report of our spies, the little spirit fairy used to bewitch the church is gone. ”

"What?! How could she be gone?! ”

According to the spy, at that time, he saw Baron Lu Ming, the sword-biting wolf, who had been following the little spirit fairy since he left the martial arts arena. In order to get rid of his tracking, the little fairy walked around the city randomly, and as a result, he threw off the spies. But Baron Lu Ming didn't know if he had lost it. ”

After listening to the words of the captain of the guard, Leggett suddenly laughed.

"The end of the immortal team is amazing! I just don't know if other people will be as powerful as him! ”
