Chapter 18: The Contest Begins
After a good night's rest, all the members of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group were in good spirits. The habits developed during this period of time have made it natural for Yi Hui to get up early in the morning to do exercise. Since we have arrived in a safe area, the way of training this morning has returned to the method of being at the headquarters of the mercenary group - Scott's chase! I have to say that at this time, Yi Hui can already make a few moves under Scott's hands, and he is not as embarrassed as he used to be. But Yi Hui's level was still not enough, and when it was almost time to eat breakfast, half of Yi Hui's body had been beaten into white flowers by the powdered white stick in Scott's hand.
9 o'clock on this day is the time for the competition between Jinli and Quinn, Scott also bet on it, and Yi Hui is also quite interested in it, so the two of them quickly finished breakfast and rushed to the practice range to wait.
When they arrived at the practice range, they found that he was not the only one who came early to occupy a good position, and they also saw Ibi standing in the front row watching from a distance.
The warriors began to debate the outcome of the fight, with the members of the convoy who had followed Mr. Merrim from the Garcia family generally agreeing that Kinley had a better chance of winning, while the warriors stationed in the Silverspring Valley mines unanimously agreed that Quinn had won. In the short period of time before the competition, there were still people who kept betting in the hands of the warrior who opened the banker, and the person received the money and received some cramps.
Yi Hui knew that ordinary bets could not make money, and the gambling was the one that made the most money, and this plate was so hot that he couldn't help but look at the warrior who opened the bet a few more times. One of the distinguishing features of the warrior compared to the other warriors was that he had a "Mediterranean" on the top of his head, but he was not very old, but his hair was thinning. As the saying goes: a smart head does not grow grass, which shows that this person is a shrewd person.
"Come and bet, there is still 1 hour to start, and if you don't bet, it will be over, the opportunity is rare!" Mediterranean shouted loudly, looking at his typical appearance as a casino horse boy rather than a warrior, and the level 1 warrior badge on his chest also exposed his level. It seems that this man's energy is focused on supplying the brain and marrow.
Yi Hui walked up to the Mediterranean and asked, "What are the odds now?" ”
Mediterranean counted the money and said without raising his head: "The odds of the second young master Bijinli are temporarily set at 1 to 1.5. Do you want to place a bet? ”
Yi Hui took out 10 gold coins from his money bag and handed them to Mediterranean, saying, "I will press 10 gold coins." ”
Mediterranean Mari wrote down the bet amount, the bet object and the current multiplier on a piece of paper, and then took out a seal from his arms and pasted it with sticky ink, and stamped it with a bright red seal and handed it to Yi Hui, "This is your ticket, take it yourself!" ”
"Skilled!" Yi Hui looked at the series of actions in the Mediterranean Sea and secretly admired it in his heart, what a talent. Yi Hui couldn't help but ask, "May I ask what this big brother is called?" ”
Mediterranean finally looked up at Yi Hui, and when he saw Yi Hui's good face, he said, "You can call me Neinan." ”
Yi Hui saw that there were not many bettors, so he leaned closer and quietly asked Neinan: "So, Neinan, in your opinion, who has a better chance of winning?" ”
"Who's going to win...... You can see this odds, there is no doubt that it is Master Quinn! Neinan was sloppy and did not answer Yi Hui's question from the front.
"Oh, I see, haha......" Yi Hui also laughed, and said secretly in his heart: "It's strange that the odds can see the winners and losers, the odds can only reflect the heat of the bettor, and the strength of this aspect is completely invisible." ”
Seeing that this Neinan refused to tell the truth, Yi Hui had no need to stay any longer. After all, Pingshui met, and Neinan belonged to the kind of person who was very shrewd, Yi Hui felt that there was no need for this person to be a deep friend.
The practice ground was crowded with people who had come to watch, and there was a small area in the front row that had been circled by Mr. Merim, and a few seats had been reserved for the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, so that Yi Hui could see it clearly.
Occam sat beside Mr. Merim in a formal dress, muttering in a whisper, "It's too much trouble for you to ...... this competition", but Mr. Merim still smiled calmly and elegantly, saying "It's out of the way". Shibel found some snacks such as jerky out of nowhere, sat on his seat and feasted on it, and when he saw Yi Hui coming, he hurriedly stood up and waved his hands to greet: "Brother Yi Hui, here and here, ...... here"
Breaking away from the crowd, Yi Hui came to sit down beside Xibei, unceremoniously grabbed the snack in Xibeiel's hand and ate it. Fortunately, Shibel has prepared a lot of snacks, I wonder if Yi Hui will shed tears when he eats all his snacks?
"Bring so many snacks, people who don't know think you're here to see the show!" The cheeky Yi Hui clapped his hands after eating other people's snacks, and had to tease a few words.
Yi Hui came as soon as he finished eating Jinli, he also grabbed a large handful of snacks and threw them into his mouth and chewed them, and said while eating: "It's delicious......
Yi Hui felt incredible when he saw Jinli sitting in the audience as if he was nothing. "Aren't you going to go down and fight Quinn? How did you get here? ”
Jin Li smiled and said: "These people are not specifically looking at me Jin Li, they are all supporters of their second young master Quinn, in their eyes, I will probably lose." ”
"And what did you just do?"
"I went to that bald man and bought myself 30 gold coins, yo, Quinn is here! This is the bet slip, you help me put it away! Jinli dropped a bet sheet issued by Neinan and jumped straight onto the field.
Quinn appeared in front of the crowd, waving to the crowd around him along the way. "It's a home game." Yi Hui thought to himself, Quinn's appearance reminded him of a certain idol star.
Jinli, who was also on the court, was ignored, and he was slowly drawing a hardwood blunt sword from the weapon rack on the sidelines and drawing it on the side, which was considered a warm-up exercise.
Quinn took the one-handed wooden knife handed over by his hand, waved it a few times to show satisfaction, and motioned for the referee to begin.
The referee was a high-ranking warrior named Kelvin among the warriors stationed in the Silversprings Pits, and he walked into the arena wearing light armor and motioned for Kinley and Quinn to stand on either side of the field. The soldiers who maintained order around the area kept the crowd one step beyond the training ground, and stood in a row to prevent the crowd from crowding into the field.
The referee first elaborated on the rules, which were nothing more than "no attacks are allowed" and "the fight will continue until one side falls to the ground or admits defeat". After announcing the rules, Kelvin took two steps back and announced: "The competition begins!" ”
Jinli and Quinn first performed a warrior salute to each other, and then they put on a posture with each other. Seeing that the competition had begun, the noise on the scene gradually quieted down, and the warriors who admired martial arts held their breath and observed every move in the field.
Although the two of them did not move for more than half a minute, there were already some skilled martial arts players who saw the clues, and the position where Quinn was standing was just outside the range of Jinli's charging and swinging sword attack, and his agility with a short blade was his strength. And Jinli's big sword is holding the diagonal finger upwards in both hands, and it can be raised high and slashed down when attacking, or it can be flattened to make a stab, which is a fast-attacking posture, but there is no obvious flaw in the opposite Quinn's one-handed knife across the chest, and Jinli can't find a good offensive direction.
Scott sat next to Yi Hui and whispered to Yi Hui: "Take a good look at Jinli's competition, this will be a great inspiration for your battle general, with my friendship with Jinli for so many years, I can see that he is taking it seriously this time." ”
Yi Hui nodded, and looked at the two people who were not moving in the field without blinking, for fear of missing a trace of movement.
"This is the two of them testing each other, after all, it's the first time they've met, and the level is comparable, no one will make a rash move, but once they make a move, I don't know about Quinn's side, but I believe that Jinli will definitely think about the backhand." Scott continued in Yi Hui's ear. "In one-on-one combat, Jinli has never lacked whimsy, and in the field of warriors, his talent is considered high."
As he spoke, Jinli attacked! Jin Li rushed two steps and leveled his sword at Quinn. In battle, the thorn is undoubtedly the fastest way to attack, from the human eye, the grasp of the distance between the left and right up and down and the distance and the distance is undoubtedly a better estimation of the distance between the left and right, and for the combat technique of the stab, it is impossible to correctly estimate the opponent's attack speed without rich experience. So, Kinley chose to use the thorn for the first round of attacks.
Quinn saw Jinli's sword stabbing as if it was a matter of course, he first retreated half a step to the right with his left foot, and the one-handed sword in his right hand latched against the side of Jinli's greatsword, avoiding frontal clashes and avoiding the disadvantage of weapons. The movement did not stop, and Quinn used the shock power of Jinli's greatsword to slash at Jinli from the right diagonal upwards with a turn.
Quinn's castration was quite fast, and in this knife he also used his own turn and the weight of his body, but he cleverly hid the left half of his body from Jinli's attack, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.
"Good!" Quinn's move caused the crowd to cheer, although there was also an element of joining in the fun, but Quinn's move was indeed ingenious, and it could be seen that the admiration of some fighters in the doorway was completely heartfelt.
Seeing Quinn's slash, Jin Li did not raise his sword to block it, but let go of the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and slightly sideways to dodge Quinn's move, and swept towards Quinn with the power of the spinning big sword.
The sweep of the great sword is usually used to distance the two sides, and Quinn is forced to take a few steps back by this sword. Jinli then swept the force of the sweep to bring the greatsword to the back of his body, and then an arrow suddenly picked up speed and asked Quinn to charge again.
"Slash!" Jin Li raised the great sword above his head, twisted his whole body into a reverse angle, and condensed all his strength into his arm, performing his most powerful move.
