Volume 2 Puppets Chapter 30 Desert Terrain

Chapter 30 Desert Terrain

After watching three different duels in different arenas, Lore and Sohya were invited in advance by the arena staff to prepare for the duel later.

"You say, what kind of dueling venue will our captain choose?"

Nolans was very curious about this, when he watched the game just now, Lore looked very serious all the time, and Nolans also tried to ask, but Lore didn't even pay attention to it, which was completely different from the previous grinning appearance, and seemed to really value this duel.

Aiqi thought for a moment and said, "The three games just now, two forest battles, and one city alley battle, in the case of being unfamiliar with other terrains, I think she should choose a similar one!"

Rick immediately chimed in, "Well, Edge, you're right!

Nolans glanced at Rick, after all this time together, he had discovered that this woman had a more perverse temper than Lore, and in addition to showing Edge's brainless appearance, she looked like she was superior to everyone.

Oh! That's right, she's also very nice to Leah, first because she thinks this little Lori is very good with her appetite, and then when she learns that Leah is Edge's sibling, it gets even worse!

Nolans touched his chin and nodded, "That makes sense! But our captain's mind, who knows if she will use common sense to play her cards! Kylo, what do you think she will choose?"

Kylo was holding his chin with one hand, looking at the staff who were busy preparing in the arena from the transparent glass window with a slightly sideways face, and when he heard Nolans' words, he said without looking back: "I don't know." In short, she shouldn't choose a water war!"

Nolans had a black line in his head: "Do you still need to say this?! The ghost knows that the captain will not choose a water battle!"

Kylo replied casually, "Then why are you asking me why? I'm not a roundworm in her stomach, who knows what she's going to choose!"

"Who made you brainy? Who don't you ask?" Nolans then asked, "Kylo, if it were you, what would you choose?"

"Hmm," Kylo said perfunctorily, "if it's me, then I'll pick a desert terrain!"

"Desert?!" Nolans felt like his mind wasn't keeping up for a moment.

Several of the others looked at Kylo curiously.

At Soxia's instigation, Ellie, who was sitting next to Kylo, asked, "Kylo, why did you choose that?"

Kylo shrugged and said, "Just take it!"

However, Kylo's answer was completely unsatisfactory to several people, and he still had a questioning expression.

Kylo was a little helpless, he sat up a little straighter, and said: "I really chose it randomly! The so-called real-scene duel is only a test of people's ability to adapt to improvisation, as long as the ability is enough, any scene will be the same! However, if you have to explain, there is some reason to choose the desert. โ€

Nolans had an expression that he had seen through a long time ago: "I know, explain it!"

"How do I feel like you're interrogating a prisoner!" Kylo glanced at Nolans with some dissatisfaction.

Nolans smiled and said, "How come? I'm eager to be taught by the big guy! Tell me quickly! Why did you choose the desert?"

Kylo sighed and explained, "First of all, Lore is not familiar with this kind of duel, and it is easy to suffer if the terrain is too complicated! โ€

"Makes sense! The desert is empty and there are few obstacles!"

"Secondly, Lore is a fire attribute, if the desert environment is created more realistically, it will be somewhat beneficial to Loer!"

Several people nodded again.

"In the end, Lore's opponent is a full-time swordsman, although Lore's current martial arts strength is already good, but if you want to compare with other people's more than ten years of specialization, how can it be so easy! The desert terrain and the desertification of the ground can play a role in limiting the opponent's ability to move a little. โ€

Aiqi nodded: "That's true, if a swordsman wants to defeat a magician, the best way is to get close to the opponent with his body speed!"

Leah wondered, "Kylo, why didn't you make a move with Lore in advance?"

Kylo said: "This is her own duel, what is the matter if I step sideways? Besides, with Lore's stubborn temper, if I tell Lore in advance which scene is better, then she will definitely not choose according to me!"

Leah thought for a moment, then sighed, because what Kylo said was the truth.

Nolans said: "It's okay, the captain has a secret weapon, how can he lose?"

Nolans bit the words "secret weapon" very hard, and everyone present understood it except for the three Ric.

With the strength of the "edge", I'm afraid that Soxia's weapon will break down all of a sudden!

However, Kylo didn't seem to agree, shook his head, and said, "That's not necessarily! If you want me to say, Lore's chances of winning, well! Half and half, depending on how she plays, Lore is still too inexperienced, to be honest, I don't think much about her." โ€

Nolans was surprised, "How's that, Captain, doesn't she have ...... Is there a secret weapon?"

"Wellโ€”" said Kylo casually, "I told her not to use it. โ€

"What?!"

Nolans' eyes widened, and even his voice was an octave higher.

Leah and Aitch also have hellish expressions on their faces!

"Kylo, why don't you let Lore use it?"

Kylo thought for a moment and explained simply: "There are many people, so it's better to keep a low profile as much as possible! โ€

Leah and Aitch thought about it and felt that Kylo had a point, it didn't matter if it was fair or not, the key was that Lore was now targeted by an unknown enemy, and no matter how much fanfare was used "edge", who knew if there would be anyone with a unique vision in the audience?

Although Lore has already used it in public in the academy competition before, it is better to be careful if you can't help but take precautions!

Of course, Nolans can understand, but whether he can accept it or not is not necessarily, the expression on Nolans's face is more tangled, how tangled, and he muttered to himself: "Then who should I buy to win later?"

At this time, the arena area, the smoke specially created by magic in order to maintain the mystery, finally slowly dissipated in the opening remarks of the host.

After the terrain of the arena was fully revealed, in the special box, Nolans and the others looked at Kylo together.

Even Rick couldn't help but glance at Kylo more, and said in surprise: "It's really a desert, you guessed quite accurately!"

Kylo smiled slightly, but didn't respond.

Strictly speaking, this map is not a desert, but more like a transition between desert and desert.

The desert terrain with a radius of hundreds of meters, undulating sand dunes, uplifted sandy rocks, and even a few half-dried poplar trees, everything is almost the same as the real desert, the biggest difference is that the area is much smaller!

Lore and Soxia are in two opposite corners of the desert, Lore is wearing a red tight dress, and the mask on her face only leaves the position of the two eyes, and Soxia is the same, only the color of the clothes is blue!

At this time, the game had not officially begun, and the host was still inciting the crowd watching the battle, introducing the two players in the dueling arena in an extremely exaggerated tone.

Although Kylo and the others already knew that Sohia had participated in a duel here, when they heard the cheers from the audience, everyone realized that Sohia was actually the long-term winner of the arena.

"Did she come here a lot before?" asked Kylo casually.

Ellie was stunned for a moment, then realized that Kylo was talking to herself, and quickly replied, "Iโ€”I don't know." She didn't tell me. โ€

"Oh, that's right!" Kylo turned his head away, asking no more.

Ellie secretly regrets in her heart, Kylo usually rarely speaks except for answering questions, and most of them are still communicating with teammates, although Ellie always runs to Kylo when she has nothing to do, but she often can't say a few words, which finally Kylo took the initiative to talk to herself, and she could only answer a "I don't know", Ellie felt very aggrieved in her heart.

Nolans stared at the big screen in the box with his eyebrows wrinkled, trying to guess from the actions of the two contestants who had the better chance of winning, but he couldn't tell at all.

There was no way, Nolans had to listen carefully to the host's introduction again, but the host's words were full of exaggerated modifiers, and he couldn't hear the professionalism at all!

Seeing that the host's opening remarks were becoming more and more exaggerated, Nolans had no choice but to turn his gaze to Kylo again.

"That...... ...... by Kylo"

Kylo glanced at the obscene Nolans and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Nolans smiled: "This...... Kylo, which of the two of them do you think will win?"

"Didn't I say that? Not necessarily!"

"Hey, Kylo, stop kidding, you're so smart, you've even guessed the map the captain chose, how can you not see which of the two of them will win?"

Kylo frowned, "What the hell do you want to do?"

Nolans rubbed his fingers and said, "It's nothing! It's just a gamble! Kylo, you can make a bold prediction!"

Kylo tilted his head to look at Norans for a moment, smiled, and said, "I really can't guess whether I win or lose, I can only tell you some of my thoughts." โ€

"You say!" Nolans was respectful, and sent a tea to Kylo.

Kylo said: "I don't know much about that Sohya, but considering that she is the daughter of Dean Marcus, I try to think as high as possible, plus her experience is definitely richer than Lore, so I am more optimistic about her!"

Nolans wondered, "Then I'll bet on Soxia to win?"

Kylo shook his head: "No, I suggest you bet on Lore to win. โ€

"Why?" Nolans once again felt like he was running out of brains.

Kylo explained: "Lore is our captain, you have to have confidence in her! After all, Lore has been doing well lately, and judging from her map selection this time, it shows that she has learned to use her brain! This is a big improvement! What do you think?"

Nolans hesitated.

Kylo continued, "Besides, what do you think will happen to you if you let Lore know that you didn't buy her to win?"

Nolans: "...... I'll think again!"

Before the host announced the start of the game, the two of them were also silently looking at the scene in front of them.

Lore crouched down, reached out and grabbed a handful of sand, feeling the delicate and hot touch of the sand, then looked up at the blazing sunlight created by the Philosopher's Stone, and couldn't help muttering, "This is too realistic!

Of course, Lore didn't know that she had made the same choice as Kylo, and this choice was completely unexpected by Soxia, she never expected Lore to choose such a map.

However, Soxia is not stupid, and after a little thought, she senses her disadvantage.

Whether it's a forest or a town, with many obstacles, Lore's magical advantage will be limited, and now, if Soxia can't successfully approach Lore, she will only be passively attacked by magic!

However, Soxia was not anxious because of this, on the contrary, Lore chose such a scene, which shows that she is also very jealous of herself!

In this way, a duel with suspense can better reflect a person's strength, and Soxia enjoys the thrill of turning the tables against the wind more than one-sided crushing!

Soxia gently stroked the long sword in her hand and sneered slightly: "This kind of competition is interesting! I hope you can let me enjoy it!"

The host's lengthy opening remarks finally came to an end, and Nolans went to place a bet before the market closed, not knowing which side he was betting on would win.

With the host's order to "start the game", Sohya and Lol on the field made moves almost at the same time!
