Like all important festivals, the God of War Festival in the Shang capital of Sikrd is also a festival shared by the whole continent, but the celebrations in other places are not as grand and lively as those jointly organized by the descendants of the god of war such as the royal family of Gelaru and the Church of War.

Returning to his original form, Roger took Luna, who had rarely let go of his official duties, and walked all the way from the station of Swords and Roses to the city of West Kerd.

Although the entire city of West Krde was crowded and lively because of the God of War Festival, the alert level of the Sword and Rose Station did not rise but decreased, and only some important buildings remained guards. Less important buildings such as the Rose Heart have been able to relax their restrictions and welcome guests of all races.

It's just that the price is much higher than usual, which is enough to scare off all the civilians, and the "Rose Heart" is not a hotel open to civilians in the first place, and now the price has doubled. However, even though the price of the "Rose Heart" is high, there are still many nobles from all over the world who stay in this famous inn in the name of the elves.

Most of these people were able to meet the beautiful elves as they wished, after all, the elven visitors had always liked to stay in the inns of the Sword and Rose Residency run by some elves and half-elves. But most of the elves these people have seen these days are heavily armed and murderous, which is quite disappointing.

Of course, these heavily armed sword dancers and rangers are also here to participate in the "Great Duel" after the God of War Festival. Although the Elven Sword Dancers have never won the championship due to disadvantages in terms of physical strength and strength, they are in the early stages of the competition. These formidable sword dance masters are definitely the last opponents that most contestants want to encounter.

Gorgeous and powerful sword dance, in this one-on-one situation. It's definitely a nightmare for those who are not flexible enough. Sadly, the vast majority of the warriors. It's not even flexible.

Seeing that the number of sword dancers participating in this year's competition is significantly higher than in previous years, the heads of the participating delegations of some countries with the main force of the warrior profession are distressed. Although the upper limit of strength has been limited to below the legendary level, the top level masters of the elves are obviously not comparable to the top masters of the human race, and the rich experience brought by relying on the long years alone is enough to make most of the people who try to outperform the elves in their moves deflated.

Although there are such powerful alien masters as elegant elven sword dancers, sturdy dwarven defenders, strong orc gladiators, and so on that they continue to pour into the merchant capital of Sikeld, today is still the safest and most harmonious day in the merchant capital this year, so harmonious that even the Sword and Rose mercenary group, which has never allowed outsiders to enter the station, has opened the station to do small business.

Seeing the paladin popping up around the corner and grabbing the thief with bad intentions, Roger raised an eyebrow and bought a small fruit snack sold by a half-elf on the side of the road, and handed it to Luna, who had been holding his hand tightly.

The Terran paladin with the scale-like badge on his chest with a straight face glanced at the druids on Roger and Luna and the Luna Priest's class badge. So he took the thief, who obviously wanted money and didn't want his life, and went straight to the big prison south of West Kerd. Immediately after the paladin had left, a priest with a sword with a sword and an axe on his chest had the mark of war intersecting swords and axes on his chest. Roger and Luna similarly glanced at the two clerics from different churches and ignored them.

These clergymen and city guards are ubiquitous in the streets and alleys, which is the reason for the rapid increase in the level of law and order in the commercial capital of Sikeld these days. Under the constant monitoring of a large number of detective arts, those who do bad things will always be the first to be discovered, and then immediately arrested by the clergy and city guards who are hiding everywhere.

Although there are some "small grudges" between each other, many times, the major temples advance and retreat together in the name of the Church of the Gods. Celebrations for the god of war, such as the God of War Festival, are the most important things that the major temples pay attention to when maintaining the face of the gods.

After all, the God of War is also the strongest in the Heavenly Realm. The status in the heavenly realm is not low, and the other gods have to give some face.

A few days before a similar celebration for the gods begins, the Church of the Gods sends a large number of clergy, such as paladins and priests with swords, to help keep the city safe. No matter how dirty it is in ordinary times, in such an important festival. The royal families and the major shrines will unanimously stop all disputes for the time being, and work together to maintain the peace and stability of this festival.

This tradition has been around for a long time, and the reasons for this have long been unverifiable. However, the more reliable theory is that on the birthday of the gods (similar to the New Year's celebration for all the gods), a singer who was popular on the mainland at that time performed a song for the gods in the celebration. They were attacked and killed by cultists, and the gods who had not been able to listen to the famous song were furious. One after another sent divine envoys and holy spirits, and even one god even descended directly in the form of a doppelganger to directly uproot the cult that was very popular at that time.

It is said that the pure soul of the singer was successfully crowned the god of music after this, but it is a pity that the "Divine Comedy" that could not be sung was not retained even by the new god of music due to various reasons, which became a great regret in the hearts of the world and the gods at that time.

After that, every time such a large-scale celebration belongs to the gods, the divine power and the royal power will put aside each other's suspicions and work together to maintain the safety of the festival. And those cultists and devil worshippers who feared that the world would not be chaotic also died in these festivals after trying to make trouble several times but suffering heavy losses one after another.

Therefore, during the period when the God of War Festival was held, it became the most harmonious and stable few days of the year in the Shang capital of Sikeld.

Several half-elf children laughed and circled around Roger and Luna, dancing the traditional elven dance, which made Luna laugh happily. These half-elf children are usually under the heavy protection of adult half-elves, and it is rare for them to come out to play like today, so they all have a lot of fun. And these kids are half-elves. So I'm especially interested in interracial couples like Roger and Luna.

But it's because the attention is on Roger and Luna. A child accidentally fitted on a passing pedestrian.

Seeing the tall figure slowly lower her head, the half-elf girl, who was originally full of fear and uneasiness, burst out laughing: this tall orc warrior with unusually developed muscles was also unusually developed. One of its legs was thicker than the thin waist of a half-elf girl, but its large, rugged face with a small fruit mask looked extremely funny.

The little girl timidly whispered an apology to the tall orc warrior, and although the orc warrior only shook her head to indicate that she didn't mind, the half-elf little girl quickly left under the tugs of her friends.

The orc warriors only watched them away with a smile on their faces, and there was no beastly coldness in their eyes that ordinary orcs often have. However, even though the orc warrior did not open his mouth, the two large protruding fangs still made the orc warrior's face look unusually hideous. If he suddenly spoke, the wide mouth of blood alone would probably directly frighten these half-elf children.

Notably, this orc bears the mark of war on his chest where swords and axes intersect. He is a believer in the god of war.

"Well, it's not something I want to look horrible." Shaking his head in annoyance, the orc warrior looked down at Roger and Luna. After a slight pause on Luna's long ears, the orc warrior turned all his attention to Roger, "Is Your Excellency here for the Grand Duel as well?" ”

As he spoke, a strong battle intent suddenly burst out from the orc warrior's body. However, this orc warrior did not lock on Roger's body, obviously it was just the natural emanation when he saw the strong.

However, in this regard, Roger just shook his head indifferently: "No, we are just here to play, and we don't plan to participate in the Grand Duel." What's more, we can't participate either. ”

"Phew, it's a pity, I, Kolot, like to challenge a strong man like you." Patting the two giant swords behind him with some regret, the orc warrior who couldn't see the specific bloodline was very helpless to bow to Roger and Luna. I went straight to the registration place for the Grand Duel: the Colosseum.

Looking at the figure of the tall orc warrior slowly moving away, Roger frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, Jay?" Luna's voice rang out from the bottom of Roger's heart. Ever since the Soul Fusion Ritual, Luna has fallen in love with this direct way of communicating with her heart. From time to time, I will whisper a few words to Roger.

"This orc warrior is very strong, and I am afraid that he will be a great opponent of Alice. And we have seen three masters of this level along the way. God knows how many masters have popped up now. Roger smiled and shook his head, "But this has nothing to do with us anymore, I have done almost everything I can, and the rest can only depend on her own efforts." Let's go, let's continue shopping. ”

"Hmm." Feeling the joy from the bottom of his heart, Roger tightened his grip on Luna's hand and pulled her towards a stall selling trinkets.

While Roger and Luna were shopping leisurely, Alice and the others were still nervously preparing, and the mercenary Wang Lance, who had been paying attention to Alice's training, looked at the paper in his hand and frowned.

There aren't many names on paper, but they're all contestants with strong enough strength to pose a threat to Alice.

It is worth mentioning that the paper in the hands of the mercenary king is still a new product from the elves, and it is currently sold at a price much higher than the luxury price of commonly used paper such as parchment. However, with the relationship between the mercenary kingdom and the elven clan, the mercenary king easily got a lot of new paper for free.

Of course, the Mercenary King didn't have the time to think about these papers at all now, and his mind was all on this list.

"The strongest in a hundred years." The Mercenary King sighed in his heart, and his brows furrowed deeply, "This is really the worst situation. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, the mercenary king finally made a certain decision.

The next day, the Grand Duel officially opened. However, unlike previous editions, this time, after the opening speech, the mercenary Wang Lance did not leave immediately, but slowly took out a long sword in a quaint sword box in front of him and raised it high.

It is a famous sword that was used when the god of war was still a human body, and it is not an artifact, but it is a holy sword that is like an artifact: the sword of demon breaking!

The world was in an uproar. (To be continued......)
