Chapter 135: Before the Duel
Soon, three days passed in a flash.
55th Floor, Iron, Grantham.
Today's Gransom is a little different than usual.
As a large city, Gransom is usually very lively, not only
PCs act in their own way every day, and players are often active in all areas of the city, setting up stalls, doing quests, replenishing resources, buying items, and everything is on display.
But today, careful players can find that Grumsam, who was already very lively, has risen to an unknown number of levels.
PCs aside, those players who have their own things on weekdays are no longer engaged in the work at hand, no more stalls, no more tasks, and even players who came out to buy various items have given up their original plans, one by one rushed to one direction, their expressions are still excited, like a star chaser, their eyes are full of enthusiasm.
Players who didn't know what was going on followed those people curiously to see where they were going and what was happening in that place, and soon, they found that the direction they were going in was the direction of the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights.
Outside the gate of the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights, there is a wide square, however, it is not so much a square as a dueling arena, surrounded by a circle of ladders layer after layer, all the players who rushed here sat on the ladders one after another, one next to the other, from the inside out, in a circle after another, the black pressed human heads were connected, a pair of arms waved on it, accompanied by noisy noises, cheers, cheers, and cheers, turning the scene into a mess, look at the number of people, There are at least a thousand people at full capacity, and the number continues to increase, and even if there is no place to sit on the staircase, the players will have to squeeze others to sit down.
In the dueling arena, the members of the Blood Alliance Knights wearing the uniform armor of the Guild are working hard to maintain order on the scene.
"Hey, hey, what you said was a duel was fought in private? What's going on with so many people? β
In one of the corridors in the dueling arena, Luo Tianhuan saw that the ladder platform was actually densely packed with people, and he was sweating profusely, and when he thought that he was going to duel with Heathcliff in front of so many people, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and calm.
"I don't know......" Asuna on the other side hurriedly defended herself, saying that it had nothing to do with her. How did the news of your duel with the regimental commander leak out? It's really troublesome to maintain order on the scene......"
I don't know what's going on, the news that Luo Tianhuan and Hitzcliffe are going to duel leaked out, and then, the whole Ian Grant was a sensation, and almost all the players were excited, and they all rushed to come to Grandsam on this day, so such a situation was formed.
However, it is understandable that such a situation will be formed, after all, whether it is Luo Tianhuan or Heathcliff, the identities of the two are very unusual, one is the strongest player of SAO, and the other is the president of the strongest guild, no matter who it is, they are the objects of longing for ordinary players.
Now, such two characters are going to duel together, and those players are naturally crazy.
"If I let me know who leaked this news, I must let him know why Hua'er is so popular!" Looking around, looking at the duel arena that was usually deserted and deserted, but today it was very lively and almost full, Luo Tianhuan scolded angrily.
At the same time, Luo Tian fantasized about it, in addition to himself, the only people who knew the news were Kirito, Asuna and Hizzcliffe, and among these people, the one who would leak the news was the most likely Hizcliffe.
Do you want to defeat your brother in front of the public and further increase your prestige?
No way! If you can, my brother not only wants to let Heathcliff, the killer of a thousand knives, know why the flowers are so red, but also use the writing wheel eye to create an illusion for him to be by a large group of brothers and Guichelun women, so that he can know the taste of chrysanthemum residues!
"Oh, by the way, Kirito, how much did you bet on that bet?" Ignoring Luo Tianhuan's complaints, Asuna turned her head to look at Kirito next to her and asked.
"This gamble is very risky...... Kirito let out a long sigh. To be on the safe side, I bet a total of 20,000 KΓΆll, 10,000 Hitzcliffe, and 10,000 Celestial. β
"Well, I ...... too," Asuna sighed as well. It would be nice to know who is stronger, so I'm sure I'll make a profit! β
WTFοΌοΌ
"! You're even gambling on it!? What the hell do you think this duel is!? Hearing the conversation between Kirito and Asuna, Luo Tianhuan was even more uneasy, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, only to feel that he was super sore now!
"It's not us, it's someone else, we're just involved." Kirito hurriedly raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.
Asuna smiled stupidly: "Well, after all, you duel with the head of the regiment, this is a super event that caused a sensation in the entire Aingrant, and there are many players who come to see the excitement at the same time, but also see the benefits from it, so they opened a gambling game, intending to make a lot of money." It's not just us, but many people are involved. β
Luo Tianhuan couldn't help but cover his face: "Okay, just start the gambling game...... But the point is, you didn't go all-in to win! We're friends anyway, don't you have faith in me? I now have a sentence that my mother sells criticism, and I don't know when to talk about it......"
Kirito scratched the back of his head: "Well, it's mainly because you and Hitzcliffe are too strong, and even Asuna and I can't judge which of the two of you is stronger, let alone the others, so the odds of each bet are five or five, and many people are like us, betting half each, although they can't make a big profit, but at least they don't lose." β
"I ......" Luo Tianhuan didn't know how to describe these idle people. If I had known who had opened a bet, I would have let them know why the eggs hurt so much! β
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, the head of the regiment has come out, you should hurry up. Kirito, we're going to keep order on the scene too. Sticking out her head and looking at the scene in the dueling arena, Asuna urged.
Luo Tianhuan looked out and saw that Hitzcliff had come out of another aisle in the dueling arena, holding a cross shield in his hand, with a sword in the shield, facing so many people, his expression was calm and calm.
With the appearance of Hitzcliff, the players on the ladder platform suddenly let out high cheers and shouts, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a high point.
In this world, even if the strength is basically invincible, it is still so good at pretending to be 13, is this product possessed by Long Aotian?
Seeing Heathcliff's forced appearance, Luo Tianhuan complained in his heart, then took a deep breath to calm his nervous mood and prepare to play.
But as soon as he stepped out of his front foot, he stopped, thought of something, turned around, and said to Kirito and Asuna indignantly: "There is one more thing, there is a bet that you don't even call me, you are too unrighteous enough!" Here's a million KΓΆll, Kirito, you help me take it and bet on it and I'll win! Brother is so confident! β
As he spoke, Luo Tianhuan transferred a million Keer to Kirito, and then, with a wave of his sleeves, he walked out without taking a single cloud with him......
"Hiss......" Seeing that Luo Tianhuan's eyes didn't blink, he turned around a million Ke'er, and Kirito and Asuna couldn't help but gasp.
One million Ker, all bet on him to win, isn't he afraid of losing, and then lose money? Is he so confident in himself? Or is he so rich?
But in any case, as soon as you make a shot, it's a million, which is simply ......
There is no humanity in the trenches!
β¦β¦
Here, the audience on the stage saw that Luo Tianhuan also appeared, and once again let out bursts of cheers and shouts.
"Wow, ahhhh It's out, it's out! The black-clothed sword god is big! Come on! I love you! β
"Don't lose! I've staked all my possessions on you! β
"Not only is the strength strong, but in this situation, you can be so calm, this kind of heart is really admirable......"
β¦β¦
In an instant, the topic of Luo Tianhuan was instantly detonated, and there were many discussions, but I don't know why,
The direction of the topic is gradually tilted.
"Husband! Come on! You are the best! β
"Husband, your sister! You give me a little reserve, don't be so shameless! He's my husband! β
"Ahhh Lord Luo Tianfan, whether you are a man or a woman, I will give you a monkey! β
"Luo Tianhuan is mine, you go away!"
"Everyone has the right to chase Luo Tianfan, we compete fairly!"
"Fair play for your sister! A man, give me death! β
β¦β¦
Because Luo Tianhuan's peerless beauty has reached the level of killing both men and women, the competition in the scene is extremely hot.
Although the scene was very noisy, Luo Tianhuan still heard a lot of words that he shouldn't have heard, and the whole person was instantly stunned.
Although it is a very cool thing to have a girl to admire, but if it is a brainless fan, forget it!
Brain-dead powder or something, it's terrible!
Moreover, there are still men among these brainless fans? it! Brother doesn't do it!
Luo Tianhuan suddenly tightened his chrysanthemum, feeling like a little lamb entering the wolf pack, surrounded by a pair of aggressive eyes, and emitting an oozing green light, he couldn't help but want to escape from here immediately, hide at home and not come out.
Under tremendous pressure, Luo Tianhuan walked in front of Heathcliff, almost ten meters away from Heathcliff.
"You're here......" Looking at Luo Tianhuan in front of him, Hitzcliff smiled slightly.
"Well, I'm here......" Luo Tianhuan subconsciously responded, and after reacting, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.
In any way, this kind of dialogue is no problem, but it still feels full of immediacy.
Heathcliff noticed that Luo Tianhuan was a little restrained and nervous, glanced around, and couldn't help but shake his head after seeing those crowds, and said: "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't know that the news of our duel leaked out like this, Luo Jun, I'm causing you trouble, looking at your appearance, you shouldn't like this kind of noisy scene very much, right?" β
Load, keep loading! Don't think I don't know, you're the one who leaked the news!
Luo Tianhuan could hear the hint of schadenfreude in Heathcliff's tone, and couldn't help but despise Heathcliff for a while, took a few deep breaths, and said lightly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's start quickly, the audience can't wait." β
"As you wish." His hand swept across the void and opened his personal interface, and Heathcliff immediately applied for a duel to Luo Tianhuan in front of him.
At the same time, in front of Luo Tianhuan, a box also appeared.
Seeing that Heathcliff chose a duel mode in which whoever loses if their HP drops to half first, Luo Tianhuan narrowed his eyes slightly, is this the rhythm that wants to convince my bloody heart? But is that really the case?
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Tianhuan agreed to Hitzcliff's application for a duel.
As the duel began, between Luo Tianfan and Heathcliff, a countdown similar to a fighting game appeared in mid-air, and was silently counting down.
Heathcliff's expression became dull for a moment, and he raised the shield in his left hand, and there was a sword stuck in the shield, as if the shield was a scabbard, and Heathcliff slowly pulled out the silver-white knight's sword inside.
Luo Tianhuan stretched out his hand, put it on his waist, held the hilt of the Soul Eater with five fingers, and silently pulled out the Soul Eater, the tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the ground, and looked at Heathcliff in front of him as plain as water.
In order to complete the third quest of the dungeon, while there was still a little time, Luo Tianhuan began to rack his brains, thinking about what strategy to use next to deal with Hitzcliff.
It is clear that in the duel waiting for the next one, the person who is in a bad situation should be himself.
After all, the person opposite is not an ordinary player, but the administrator of SAO, a GM-like existence, and a GM duel, from the player's point of view, this is simply an act of looking for death, when have you ever heard that a player can defeat GM?
Even Luo Tianhuan didn't have the confidence that he could 100% defeat Hitzcliff, who had the right to be an administrator.
However, he is not completely out of the woods to defeat Hitzcliff.
In this kind of public, in order to hide his true identity, Heathcliff must not dare to use the administrator's permissions wantonly, firstly, the functions that directly act on others cannot be used, otherwise they will definitely be goofs, and secondly, the permissions similar to direct invincibility cannot be used, otherwise anyone can see that something is wrong.
According to the plot details of the original book, Luo Tianhuan felt that what Heathcliff could use was a function to freeze his HP above the yellow state, or a function to break through the limitations of the SAO game system in an instant in case of emergency.
In previous battles, Heathcliff had also been using these two functions, and these two functions alone were enough to make him invincible.
Among them, the HP will not drop below the yellow half-blood, which can be regarded as an alternative invincibility, and Heathcliff uses this function in the current duel mode, then he is directly equivalent to invincibility.
In any case, the opponent could not push Heathcliff to half blood, so how could it be possible to win?
Luo Tianfan is the same, facing Heathcliff as a player, no matter how strong he is, he has no chance of winning in the end.
However, as I said before, he is not without a solution.
Luo Tianhuan conservatively estimated that he should be able to force down Heathcliff, who only uses the semi-invincible function, and with some small tricks and small means, Heathcliff, who only uses the semi-invincible function, should not be able to help himself.
Therefore, the final result is still very controversial.
However, the plan has never been able to catch up with the changes, and Luo Tianhuan doesn't know what changes will happen in this duel, so he won't really lose, and the result of losing is to join the Blood Alliance Knights with Kirito.
However, these are just Luo Tianfan's thoughts, and before the fight starts, no one knows what the real result will be.
