Chapter 208: Participating in the Competition
Looking at Byron's handsome face, Lu Ling was a little dazed for a while, and couldn't help but start thinking in his heart, did he want to surprise himself?
However, Lu Ling is different from other girls, she has no so-called romantic feelings at all, and immediately asked Byron: "Don't sell it, tell me where you are going!" ”
"I really want to know?" Byron tilted his head and asked softly.
Hearing this, Lu Ling nodded again and again: "Yes, I really want to know." ”
"There will be a mercenary competition in Toryaci this time, and the mercenaries who win will receive great glory, so I'm sure you'll be very interested."
Byron's eyes were still looking motionless, and his mouth was responding to Lu Ling's question.
"How much does it matter to me to hold a mercenary competition?" Lu Ling originally thought that Byron was going to say something she was interested in, but for her, she really didn't care about those so-called false names.
"There is also a fringe to this competition, which means that the person who wins the final game also has a fringe benefit, which is to help the winner complete one thing." Byron saw that Lu Ling didn't seem to react much, and hurriedly added.
Hearing Byron say this, Lu Ling's expression changed slightly, and he looked at him and asked tentatively: "What do you mean?" Will I ask someone else to find my dad for me after I win the game? ”
At the mention of this question, Lu Ling's voice trembled a little, which showed that she was really excited at the moment.
"That's right, isn't it more effective to mobilize the power of the entire mercenary street to help you find someone than if you find someone alone?" Byron nodded and spoke his mind.
"But...... I'm just a fledgling hire, so how can I be sure I can win against so many people? Originally, Lu Ling was still a little excited, but when she thought of her current strength, she was inevitably a little stage frightened.
"It depends on how determined you are to find your father." Byron tilted his head and looked at Lu Ling's delicate little face, his eyes full of smiles.
Lu Ling thought about it again, and then nodded firmly: "Okay, I'm going to try anyway, I believe I can definitely win this competition." ”
At this moment, Lu Ling has already made up her mind, no matter what, she will do her best to fight, in exchange for the opportunity to find her father.
After a long drive, the two finally arrived at their destination.
When they got there, they found that there had already been a large number of people gathered there, and the two of them had already entered the area where the game was being held, and a group of people surrounded them.
The two looked at each other, and the leader was none other than Mu Ke, whom they had just fought against.
Mu Ke looked at the two of them, his eyes full of sarcasm: "We have been looking for you for so long, and now you are automatically sent to the door?" ”
"We're here for the race, what do you mean?" Byron looked at Muke and spoke without hesitation.
"What do you say?" As he spoke, Muke and his men came closer.
"What are you doing here? You are not allowed to bring personal grudges here during the competition, and if you can't abide by the rules here, just fuck me off! A tall man in uniform appeared out of nowhere, pulled away the people who were surrounding Byron, and spoke in a very bad tone.
Mu Ke looked at the man who came to relieve the siege, a little jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he left unconvinced before leaving here.
"Thank you, brother." Byron looked at the man with a little gratitude in his eyes.
The tall man also looked at Byron at this moment, and found that he had even muscles and calm eyes, he should be a powerful person, but since he was willing to thank himself, it showed that he knew how to be grateful.
In this way, the tall man had a little more affection for Byron, but on the surface he just hummed nonchalantly.
When the two got there, they found that the match was scheduled for three days later and that they had nothing to do anyway, so the two of them were now familiar with the place where they were going to play.
After they had visited all the places where they were competing, they went to the rooms arranged by the organizers to regain their physical strength at sea.
Time passed quickly, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and due to the rules set by the organizers, Mu Ke did not trouble them again, and the three days were quite leisurely.
When all the mercenaries arrived, the momentum was very huge, and the host held the microphone and announced in a loud voice: "The 151st Mercenary Competition starts now!" ”
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from below, which showed how much importance the mercenaries present attached to this game.
The applause on the floor stopped, and the host continued: "Now please invite the winner of the last mercenary competition, Mr. Tolford!" ”
Soon, Tolfo appeared in the cheers, and Lu Ling realized that it was not the person who had rescued her and Byron before? I didn't expect him to be such a character, no wonder Mu Ke was a little jealous of him.
Tolfo didn't say much when he came to the stage, that is, he said some of his previous successful experiences, and for the sake of absolute fairness in the game, he served as a staff member of this competition this time and did not participate in the competition, in order to allow more newcomers to emerge.
After that, it's all about the opening ceremony.
For these procedural things, the mercenaries present were very impatient, and they were eager for the game to start immediately, but because the organizer was too powerful, they didn't dare to show it even if they were impatient.
However, the long opening ceremony finally came to an end, and the official competition finally began.
The first event of the competition is a test of cooperative combat ability, where everyone is divided into two groups, and the team that wins all the people wins, and the group that loses all loses.
I have to say that this is also a game of luck, when those mercenaries get the grouping situation, they are immediately unhappy: "How can this be?" It's not fair! ”
Listening to the voice below, the organizer of this competition immediately said loudly: "What's the matter? Do you have an opinion? If you have an opinion, say it directly, don't mumble it below. ”
At this statement, those people immediately fell silent, and did not dare to continue to speak.
Byron and Lu Ling happened to be divided into a group, the two immediately looked at each other and smiled, Byron smiled and teased: "It seems that this is fate, we are destined to be on the same station line." ”
Lu Ling immediately responded with a smile: "Indeed, we are destined to be together." ”
Soon, the game began, and when it began, they found out that Mu Ke was also in a group with them, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the road was narrow.
"How? Buddy? Was it surprising to meet me? Chuck looked at the two of them with a meaningful smile.
The two of them just gave Mu Ke a blank look and ignored him.
It's just that their group decided to nominate a captain, so Byron and Muke, who were also young and promising, were easily put forward as candidates.
Byron was not interested in the so-called false title at all, he just said expressionlessly: "I don't want to be the captain, it's better to let this gentleman be the captain." ”
Seeing Byron's disdainful look, Mu Ke was a little unhappy, and immediately stopped Byron, and said in an unkind tone: "What do you mean by this?" Don't you want to compete with me? Today you have to decide with me. ”
Seeing Mu Ke insisting like this, Byron naturally would not shirk it, but he did not agree with the force competition that Mu Ke said in his mouth, after all, he knew Mu Ke's ability, but he was afraid that it would not only delay time and consume a lot of energy at that time, so Byron just looked at everyone present:
"In this way, it is better to vote for everyone, and the one with the most votes will be the captain, what do you think?"
Originally, everyone present had some leadership skills and was more inclined to him, but now I see that Byron knows how to respect people more, so except for Muke's people, most of the people present voted for Byron.
Originally, Mu Ke was still full of confidence, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon, his face was inevitably a little ugly, and he immediately stretched out a middle finger at Byron: "Boy, you wait, even if it's a mercenary competition now, I can't clean you up, one day I will let you know how good I am!" ”
Byron didn't care about Muke's threat, but raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "If you have any means, even if you want to do anything at this time, I won't stop you!" ”
"Hmph, you want to provoke me to do it? And then punished by the organizers? I tell you, there are no doors! After saying this, Mu Ke walked away directly, followed by his mercenary minions.
Faced with Mu Ke's sudden departure from the team, Byron didn't pay much attention to it, but turned around and spoke to everyone: "Since everyone has decided to let me be the captain, then I hope everyone doesn't move around at will, try to keep up with the team when you move, and if you find anything abnormal, please report it in time." ”
"Got it, we all remembered." Judging from Byron's response to Muke's behavior just now, everyone is even more sure that they didn't choose the wrong person to choose Byron as their captain.
Because the team led by Byron obeyed his orders very much, no one dared to trouble them for a while, but the men led by Muke were not so lucky, they were surrounded by a group of people not long after they left the main army.
The fight was raging, and by the time Byron found them, many of Muke's men had already been wounded.
Looking at Mu Ke's embarrassed appearance, Lu Ling's eyes were a little more happy, but thinking that it was the cooperation period, he couldn't help but turn his head and say to Byron: "Why don't we go and help him?" ”
Listening to Lu Ling's proposal, Byron thought it was true: "Listen to you, then help him!" ”
With Byron's order, the rest of the men rushed out, and soon defeated those besieging Muke.
The rescued Mu Ke glanced at Byron and said very unhappily: "Who wants you to save me?" Fake kindness! ”
