Chapter 16: Night Practice
Kirk and Spartacus also didn't know each other and became partners. Spartacus came this time to discuss night training with him. The Marseille Dionysian Festival is about to begin, and Spartacus is eager to defeat Cress, who holds the title of God of War, in Marseille. He needs someone to spar him now. Vero has been training with him for too long, and he knows the roots, and the effect of sparring is not obvious. Kirk is a rough man with rough hair and poor basic skills, but he has rough skin and thick meat, strong explosiveness, and good imagination, which is more in line with Kress's characteristics. So the two came and invited Kirk to go to the beach to train together in the evening.
Kirk thought about it and finally decided to agree to the invitation of the two. If nothing else, just rush this guy to be the invincible Spartacus in the future. Training with him is bound to be very rewarding. It's like the sparring partner of the national table tennis team, and pulling out the team is the champion of the world world. His own melee is a wild road, and compared with these professional players, there is a big gap. If it weren't for the strong equipment, not weak attributes, and the use of the opponent's winning mentality, he would not have had a chance to fight with Spartacus.
It's 8 p.m., and the three of them agreed to train at the beach at 12 p.m.
Seeing off Spartacus and Vero, Kirk welcomed three more guests, this time the one-eyed dragon, the shield munitary, and the sorceress. Kirk was a little surprised that it was already night, and the slaves who were supposed to be in the cattle pen were still running around. Giant Shield MT said that he had given the greedy Ashur some bribes, but could only stay here for a while.
Kirk had already guessed their intentions, apparently for the sake of the current nemesis of the Contractors, the American cult leader Audi.
Sure enough, the one-eyed dragon went straight to the point: "Are you in the same group as the veteran Audi?" After becoming a gladiator, do you also plan to knock out our bones and suck the marrow, squeeze them dry and then kill them? ”
Kirk made it clear that "I became a gladiator to live better and protect my interests, and I don't plan to emulate that bastard from Audi." ”
The sorceress looked up suddenly, and Kirk noticed that she had beautiful lake-green eyes, which were as clear as lake water, and possessed endless attraction.
After a long while, the sorceress whispered, "His words are true, at least for now. ”
Kirk realized that he had been cast by the woman with a spell similar to Detect Lies, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Don't be nervous." Judun MT hurriedly explained: "We just urgently need to know if you are our enemy. Now prove that you are not at least not yet. ”
"What are you going to do?" Kirk asked, it was clear that under the pressure of survival and the pressure of Audi, the remaining contractors had united, and the three in front of him were the leaders who had been pushed.
"We're ready to join forces, for the time being, get rid of Audi." The one-eyed dragon sounded hoarsely.
"He's a veteran." Kirk was not optimistic about them.
"There are 14 of us." Judun MT said.
"You can't challenge him directly." Kirk shook his head.
"That's the problem, and that's why we're coming to you." The cyclops continued to say slowly, "We need information, we need solutions. ”
Kirk decided to give them a hand, certainly not for free.
"I have the solutions you need and the information you need for the main quest, but what good can you give me?" Kirk is also straightforward.
"He's your enemy, he'll loot you before he kills you!" The sorceress snorted softly.
"Yes, he's an enemy, but I'm definitely ahead of you." Kirk laughed. At the moment he is a gladiator, not a raw material to be slaughtered. Dionysian is just around the corner, and gladiators are short of people. Audi would not risk angering Battitas and killing another gladiator. Kirk is in a strong position at the moment.
"How much do you want?" The sorceress was silent for a moment.
"It's up to you to be sincere, but I promise you the reliability of the methods and information provided."
"Space Verification!" The one-eyed dragon was decided.
After a verbal battle and bargaining between the two sides, Kirk finally gained 10,000 survival points and 3 pieces of [Mi Tami Cake] to replenish his health. It's not the best, and it can only replenish 50% of its health in 5 seconds, but it can be used in battle.
Due to the overconsumption in the space, coupled with the drag of Chubby, Kirk's drug reserves are not much, and with the consumption of Spartacus combat, the current inventory is urgent. These three pieces of cake can solve the urgent need.
The 10,000 survival points are reserved for [Odin's Summons], which belongs to the endless money-burning black hole, but as Kirk's last life-saving hole card, it is still fully prepared and relieved earlier.
The contractor's side is not a loss, 10,000 points sounds like a lot, but if the 14 contractors share it, it's just a drizzle. They are now like headless flies, and what they need most is a way out and a plan.
Kirk said slowly: "This space has a hidden main quest. “
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three people on the other side changed, although they had some guesses, they could not find a solution to the current predicament. This [Arena Mode] actually has a main quest?
"Is it about gladiator status?" The sorceress said softly, it seems that this person with a heart has guessed the clues.
"Well, the mainstream of this world is gladiatorial fighting. You are now a raw material, and you need to obtain the status of [Gladiator] or [Support Gladiator] within 4 days, before the start of the Marseille Bacchus Festival, you can join the training camp as a gladiator, and then appear in the Colosseum. This is a hidden main quest and has no hint before it is triggered. If you can't achieve promotion smoothly, you will join the gladiatorial fight as a slave, and the benefits will naturally be very different. Kirk said.
"Now our main trouble is Audi." The one-eyed dragon asked.
"Well, but it's actually the same thing. If we get gladiator status, Dionysian is coming, he can't blackmail us. What are the requirements to become a gladiator? The sorceress whispered.
Kirk glanced at her, a very clear-headed and calm woman.
"Only by fighting head-on and defeating a gladiator can one have the qualifications to become a gladiator. Now that the Dionysian festival is about to begin, the training camp is seriously lacking in gladiators. You can think of a way, and Batitas will get you promoted. According to the law of gladiators, on the premise that raw materials give up the right to surrender, gladiators cannot refuse the challenge of raw materials! You can use this as an excuse to give priority to strengthening a fighter who is durable, and directly drag Audi and take up his training time, so that he will not have a chance to blackmail you. Kirk told it all.
At present, Audi, as a veteran, has a dominant strength and a transcendent status, and poses the greatest threat to Kirk. Kirk definitely didn't want to see him take all the benefits to himself. You have to muddy the water to fish in troubled waters. It is best to use this group of contractors to contain Audi for a while, and then find a chance to get rid of Audi when he becomes stronger.
The sorceress gave Kirk a deep look and smiled, "Good idea." Every day in training, we focus on strengthening one person to challenge Audi, and he has no reason to refuse. As long as he continues to occupy the quota for his training, he has no reason to blackmail under the pretext of training raw materials. "Although reinforcement requires lending out your equipment and medicines, it is much better than squeezing them clean.
Kirk saw a gleam in the one-eyed dragon's eyes, and it seemed that this guy had made up his mind.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Kirk went to the edge of the woods where he had agreed, and saw that Spartacus and Vero had arrived, and the two were training with wooden swords. The strength of the gladiator is not only superhuman talent, but also the result of hard practice. The two of them kept training themselves, and they didn't spare the slightest hand in the fight, and they couldn't see that they were good brothers practicing, and they looked like enemies in a life-and-death duel.
In the distance, the moon hangs high, the Adriatic Sea shines in the moonlight, the waves gently lap on the beach, the mangroves by the sea make a sparse sound in the sea breeze, and the salty and fresh taste of the sea is refreshing.
Kirk couldn't help but feel excited, and he smiled as he walked towards the two of them who were practicing hard.
Vero and Spartacus stopped, and Vero smiled: "You are very punctual, I am tired of being beaten by this demonic beast, and now it is your place." He threw the training wooden sword over.
Spartacus shook his head: "Let him use the weapon he has at his disposal, I can't feel enough threat with a wooden sword, and the effect is limited." ”
Kirk was not polite, and directly pulled out two murder weapons from the space, and the pale green and dark blue blades shone in the moonlight, and he rushed directly to kill.
"Good momentum!" Vero nodded, it seems that it is no accident that this "raw material" can force the awakening of the Spartacus bloodline.
"General!" Spartacus parried, blocking Kirk's slashing knife. Then one used force to unload, and the other skillfully stirred hard, and Kirk felt that the long knife in his right hand could barely grasp it, and immediately withdrew the knife, finally not letting Spartacus pick up the weapon.
The two men smiled and strangled fiercely again.
"Watch your steps. Space is your best weapon. Make the most of the space. Vero pointed out loudly.
"The so-called combat technique is the skillful use of space and time. Space and time are your best weapons. Do everything possible to use what you do best against what the other person is not good at, and you win. Vero continued.
Kirk felt a flash of lightning pass through his mind, and many places that had some feelings but were confused seemed to light up all of a sudden.
