"House, you're doing a great job!"

When you walk into the clubhouse. Hevier did not hesitate to praise, and was very satisfied with Li Ba's performance just now.

"This is all taught by the master!" Li Ba played his cards according to the routine, and his tone was very humble.

"Hevier, your obedience is indeed good!"

Cruise, who was accompanying him, said this with a smile, looked at the purple turban on Li Ba's head, and half-jokingly said: "His style is better, very avant-garde!" ”

"Of course! This bandana was hand-picked by me! "Hevelle was very proud.

This headscarf was indeed chosen by Hyvier, and she asked Li Ba to wear it. The specific intention is not out of image, but deliberately covering the lock buckle on Li Ba's forehead.

The top-level magic tool written by the first alchemy master of the empire is used to imprison a servant, and it can be imagined that there is something unusual about it!

The children of the big family in the capital city are all keen-eyed, and once they recognize the lock god buckle, they can deduce the depth of the strength of 'House'.

Hai Weier's trip is to shame and completely suppress the arrogance of her sworn enemy. Before you play, of course, you can't expose your own details, so as not to make the opponent wary.

This hijab was born.

"House!"

Cruise is good, calling out Li Ba's flower name, and giving a kind reminder, "Julia's servant, with superb fighting skills, and is a very small number of angry blood warriors among the barbarians, with strong physical strength and not weak defense, and will play later...... You have to be careful! ”

For his main target this time, or the opponent, the barbarian Watson. Li Ba has long understood.

Barbarians are gifted with divine powers. Originally, hand-to-hand combat power was extremely strong. There are also a very small number of Raging Blood warriors of their race. Possess a strange talent between enemies. It can instantly increase its own strength tenfold, reaching a terrifying level.

An ordinary barbarian warrior, with a strength of about five to seven levels, has been fully embodied in his cellmate Arquette. However, this kind of Raging Blood Warrior, when he induces his talent, his physical strength can instantly increase to the height of level eight, or even level nine.

If you talk about the ability to fight hand-to-hand alone. Invincible!

Because of this, Julia, a beautiful woman with breasts, won a lot of prizes in the Tulip Club with her obedience. Among them, the vast majority are sponsored by Hywiel.

For Cruise's suggestion, Li Ba expressed his heartfelt gratitude. At the same time, he was a little curious, he wanted to see how strong the barbarian's angry blood warriors were?

Traveled a hundred meters. Straight ahead. A tall domed building appears. From the outside, it is gorgeous and low-key, very Eastern European characteristics.

Walk through the door and see the golden splendour. Splendid. The hall of nearly 1,000 meters is paved with silver bricks and inlaid with gold edges. Extreme luxury. The dome is 100 meters high, and the top is polished with crystal. If you look up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds.

All around, there are stairways leading upstairs. From the ground floor to the dome. It is separated by two circular cloisters and is constructed into two circular stands. There are many tables and chairs. It's just that so far it's empty.

Everyone, or indeed all the nobles attending the meeting, gathered in the rotunda at the moment, listening to soft music and enjoying a rich and delicious buffet.

As far as the eye can see, a richly dressed nobleman, holding a cocktail, in groups of three or five, clinking glasses and talking. Among them, most of them are young people. There are also a few older ones.

"Jenner, take House to dinner!"

Hywiel arrives. Attracted a pair of eyes. Many young aristocrats flocked to greet each other with flattering smiles.

The heir of the Rose family, the daughter of the sky, and is still single. One can imagine how attractive Helvey was to these young aristocrats.

Followers have access to the clubhouse. But they can't dine with their hosts. This is the basic etiquette of the nobility.

In the southwest corner of the hall, there are several rows of long tables with various types of food. This is the dining area of the entourage.

When Cruise takes Hevelle to belong to their aristocratic circle. Jenner led Li Ba to the entourage dining area.

"House, the game will start after lunch, you eat less to avoid affecting your performance!" Jenner kindly mentioned it. Anyone who fights immediately with a full stomach will be affected.

“OK！”

Li Ba smiled and nodded. In my heart, I didn't take it seriously. When he walked to the entourage dining area, Li Ba unintentionally swept his eyes and found an acquaintance.

A strong man, sitting on a chair in the dining area, nibbled on the whole roast sheep alone, drank ale, and feasted as if there was no one around.

Arquette!

Li Ba was overjoyed. This ugly-looking man is his good partner in the gladiatorial arena and his cellmate Arquette.

Walk briskly, as Liba came behind Arquette. The stout man still didn't notice it, and ate and drank to himself.

"Dude, how about a bowl of ale for me?" Li Ba said with a grin.

"Do it yourself...... Black! It's you! ”

Arquette was disgusted by people who disturbed his meal. When he looked up and saw Li Ba, he couldn't help but be full of surprise.

"I'm so glad to see you again!"

Arquette stood up and gave Li Ba a bear hug. Li Ba patted him on the shoulder, his heart was warm, and he said with a smile: "I'm also very happy!" ”

Pulling up a chair, Li Ba sat down. At the same time, he introduces Jenner to Arquette. In addition to being a little stuffy, Jenner is not bad, and he is very polite and greets Aquit.

The three of them sat together, and then began to talk while eating.

"Brother, it's been a good time!" Li Ba teased with a smile on his face. At the same time, his eyes looked over to the circle of nobles, and in the midst of the crowd, he found the owner of Arquette, who had to pay a lot of money for his fat woman that day.

Aquiger knew what Li Ba was trying to say. Facing Nunu on the fat woman's side, he whispered: "A widowed old woman, inheriting the title of a dead man, has some money in hand, and wants to break into the upper nobility...... She needs my help, and she is reluctant to do that to me! ”

From Arquette's mouth, it was learned that the fat woman's husband was a baron during his lifetime, and the family owned several mines, and belonged to the nouveau riche category. After her husband's death, the fat woman had no children under her knees. Naturally, he inherited the man's title.

After that, she didn't know what **** luck she had. The mines it owns have been explored to contain magic crystals. A rare ore that resembles the crystal nucleus of a mutant beast.

The fat woman made a windfall as a result. Money on hand. Want to squeeze into the upper nobility. Knowing the deep background of the Tulip Club, therefore, under the planning of the strategists around him, he decided to use Arquette to open a shortcut to the upper nobles.

As a result, Arquette escaped the clutches of the old woman, and with the help of the other party, he obtained a magical potion that strengthened the barbarian's physical strength and had miraculous effects. Its own combat power has been greatly improved.

Li Ba understood after hearing this. He didn't ask much about Arquette's current strength. Anyway, it's not as good as yourself. A brief description of his experience with the Ross family.

It was learned that Li Ba was accepted by Havier as a servant and given a surname. Arquette was very touched, or envious, "Li, you are still lucky to follow the right master!" ”

Li Ba smiled. I guessed in my heart that if it wasn't for his existence that day. Arquette is most likely to be taken in by Helvier. The reason is very simple, Arquette's physical combat power is also very strong, and he is definitely a gifted person among the barbarians, with great cultivation potential.

At the time of the conversation. Julia's subordinate Watson. Came with a group of companions. He saw that Li Ba was chatting with Arquette very speculatively, and when he passed sideways, he snorted coldly and said, "Call a yellow-skinned pig a brother." What a disgrace to our barbarians! ”

Arquette glanced at Watson, his face slightly moved. Then he unceremoniously ridiculed each other: "A mongrel who betrayed his ancestors dares to call himself a barbarian!" ”

Watson has already walked past. Suddenly turned around, his face was full of fierce light, like a devouring person, stared at Arquette, and said slowly: "You will pay for your words!" ”

Then, he left directly and walked to a dining table not far away.

"Brother, do you know him?" Li Ba asked curiously. He could hear some clues from Arquette's tone.

"A traitor!"

Arquette said this, looking a little lonely. Li Ba saw it in his eyes and didn't ask. Because he knew that if Arquette wanted to say it, he would have said it.

Lunch was just a vignette. The entertainment program that follows is the main event. Therefore, the meal was very short, and it ended in about 40 minutes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the bell. The nobles gathered around the hall walked up the staircase. On the side of the dining area, everyone stood up and went to meet their master.

"Let's go!"

Liba and Jenner walked towards Hevele. Arquette, of course, went to join his master, the fat woman. When he got up, Li Ba noticed a fierce look and stared at his side.

The owner of this look, you don't have to guess who it is. Not only against him, but more also against Arquette.

Liba opened his mouth, trying to warn Arquette to keep an eye out for the guy named Watson. I thought about it, but the words came out of my mouth.

Hu obeys his own self and completely obeys the master's instructions. If this is the case, why bother.

At the staircase crossing to the south, Li Ba and Ha Wei Er's converge. He was obedient to his duties, half-bowed, and his right arm raised. Hyvier smiled in return, stretched out her hand on his arm, raised her snow-white neck, like a proud swan princess, and slowly stepped up to the stands.

The hall has two ring stands. The second floor was a gathering place for ordinary nobles. In the grandstand on the third floor, there are only five long tables, and except for the children of the five major families, the rest of the people are not qualified to sit here.

Hevelle led Li Ba and Jenner to a long table in the southwest corner. This should be her old seat. Not far away is the host's house, Cruise. Hevel's nemesis sat directly across from her, across the hundred-meter hall. The 'crotch brother' sat in the southeast corner.

As for the table in the northwest corner, there sat a handsome young man of about thirty years old. He is Calvin, the heir to the Sicks family, and is a well-known merry son. Wearing a white dress, with a mustache, and a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, he is very charming.

His two entourage, all of whom are hot beauties, are accompanied by him on the left and right.

The children of the five major families are here. After-dinner entertainment, start immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tulip Club!"

Cruise's words rang out. Above the hall, the dome made of polished crystal, the light flickered, and soon a face appeared, it was Cruise.

Li Ba could see clearly that the Cruise people were not far away, with his right hand resting on the crystal ball on the table, and after that, his image appeared on the dome.

Obviously, this crystal ball, and the whole dome. They are all alchemical items made of magic.

"Everyone is an acquaintance, so I won't talk nonsense. It's still the old routine, the first show. Warrior's Heart! ”

On the dome, Cruise smiled and said slowly: "I think everyone knows the competition system, and interested friends can send out servants to compete in pairs and fighting skills...... As for the lottery, it is up to the two sides to discuss, which side does not dare to take the call, there is no need to compete. Automatically throw in the towel! ”

After succinctly stating the rules, Cruise's right hand slowly left the crystal ball on the table, and his image faded from the dome.

"Let's go!"

Drink it in one gulp. Cruise's image completely disappeared from the dome, and after that, the light shone brightly, and the dome began to flash human faces. There was no movement on the third floor. But on the second floor, there were dozens of nobles. Almost at the same time put his hand on the crystal ball on the table.

It's just a few seconds. The image of the dome freezes, and a fat pig's face appears.

"I got it! I'm number one! ”

The owner of the fat pig face is Li Ba's old acquaintance, the dead fat woman. At the same time, she is also the hostess of Arquette. She attended a tulip party for the first time. With good luck, I took the lead and shouted happily.

The entire dome. are all occupied by this old woman's fat pig face, which makes people speechless.

"Marie Curie. You're ready to send out a servant! ”

Seeing the fat woman continue to laugh at herself. Cruise couldn't help but put his hand on the crystal ball and urged. He is the master of the house. He has the right to preside over and can easily control all alchemy items.

"Arquette, fight for the old lady!"

The fat woman came back to her senses, and immediately became aggressive, sending her own right-hand man. A figure jumped down from the second floor and came directly to the center of the hall, and it was Arquette.

At the end of the meal, all the furnishings in the hall were removed. At the same time, there is an additional weapon rack in the southeast corner. Various types of cold weapons are placed on it.

Arquette is the first to play!

Li Ba was a little surprised. Seeing that the children of the five major families, including their hostess Hai Weier, they were all calm and motionless. Obviously, they let the ordinary nobles on the second floor play first, and the finale was of course placed later.

"Marie Curie, I'm here to play the first game with you!"

On the crystal screen of the dome, the face of a middle-aged nobleman is displayed. This man is thin, and he looks very funny side by side with the fat woman's big face.

Sou!

A samurai jumped down, looking burly, not much different from Arquette, although not as good as Arquette.

"Old Paulian, you bet, I'll take as much as you want!"

The samurai who appeared in the back of the game, when he and Arquette looked at each other. The fat woman's wanton words sounded again.

"The first game, let's have a good time, just 10,000 gold coins!"

The nobleman named Borian cast a lottery. After hearing this, the fat woman shook her head, her nostrils turned to the sky, and she snorted: "10,000 gold coins is too little, I will invest 100,000 gold coins!" ”

According to the rules of the tournament system, the two sides are divided into defenders and challengers. Arquette was the first to go down and was naturally reduced to a defender. The opponent is a challenger and must place a bet first. The defending side has three options, accept, don't accept, and increase the bet.

The fat woman now chooses the last one and increases the bet. If the challenger does not follow, even if it loses, the 10,000 gold coins that are bet in advance need to be taken out as a lottery head.

To put it simply, this format betting is quite similar to stud, not only comparing strength, but also courage and financial resources.

100,000 gold coins is not a small amount. The noble face of the challenge hesitated, saw the opponent's proud fat face, and was reluctant to throw out 10,000 gold coins in vain, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "I took it!" ”

Clang!

The two masters negotiated here. On the other side, the bell rang and the game began immediately.

Arquette's opponent dodged to the side of the weapon rack and took a hammer gun. This hammer resembles a spear, except that the head of the spear is in the shape of a round hammer, and the weight is not light.

Arquette also took a weapon. A steel shield for heavily armored cavalry.

Rumble!

With weapons in hand, the two launched a fierce attack at the first time. The sound of hammer guns and steel shields colliding with each other immediately resounded throughout the hall.

"This guy is no match for Arquette!"

Li Baren was on the third floor, and when he looked at it, he had already made a judgment after less than two or three rounds of fighting between the two sides. I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and Arquette's strength has improved a lot, and his physical strength is probably close to level eight.

And his opponent, that samurai, should be a power-type evolutionary, and his strength is around level seven. According to the rules of the tournament, it is forbidden to use magic fighting energy and abilities of various attributes. However, there is no restriction on the two types of evolutionaries, the Strength and Agility types.

Therefore, most of the subordinates participating in the competition are mainly these two types of evolutionaries. Then there are the barbarians who are known for their strength, and some high-ranking samurai who are proficient in the art of fighting.

For ordinary evolutionaries, it is very difficult to reach the high level. In this regard, Li Ba knows best.

Arquette's opponent, a seventh-level power-type evolutionary, uses the resources on him, if given to others, it is estimated that he can cultivate a ninth-level warrior.

This shows how difficult it is. At the same time, it can also be seen that his master deliberately cultivated him to participate in the Warrior's Heart competition.

It's just that if you run into Arquette, this samurai is unlucky. His master was even more unlucky, destined to lose all his money.

Ho!

Under a hard encounter. Arquette roared, slammed into it with a steel shield, and the brute force exploded, directly knocking the opponent's hammer gun away. He approached with a single stride, and the steel shield slammed into him again, leaving the opponent's samurai with no choice but to fight with his body.

As a result, the person was directly knocked more than ten meters away, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up.

In the first game, Arquette won!

His master, the fat woman, won a hundred thousand gold coins, and also grew a face in front of many nobles, grinning excitedly.

The end of an event. The victor is a fat woman, who can choose to withdraw, or continue to let Hu obey the guard. The old woman didn't think about it, and chose to continue to defend it.

Arquette has no say and has no choice but to follow his master's will.

In the case that the five major families did not send people to fight, Arquette showed strong physical combat power and superb fighting skills. Without a break, he swept and won ten games in a row.

The fat woman won nearly two million gold coins. At the same time, he has a long face, and he can't close his mouth with joy.

"Dead fat pig, it's time to stop!"

Grandstand on the third floor. Li Ba looked at the fat woman's pig face, and couldn't help but scold in his heart. He is the most numerous, and in Arquette's current state, he will continue to fight, and there will still be no one to match those ordinary nobles.

Since the end of the 10th game, no one has challenged anymore, and it has been proven.

However, in the grandstand on the third floor, the children of the five major families began to show signs of making a move. On the other side, in particular, the guy named Watson, who stared at Arquette with an unkind expression, whispered in the ear of his master Julia, and had a bad momentum.

"Miss, let me go!"

Li Ba took the initiative to ask for battle. It was up to him to defeat Arquette, and in the current situation, it was the best way to protect the opponent.

Hevel is not a fool, on the contrary, Bingxue is smart. Of course, she knew the relationship between Li Ba and Arquette, and she also knew the reason why Li Ba took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Good!"

Without hesitation, Hevier was very face-saving, and raised her hand towards the crystal ball racket in front of her. However, almost at the same time, Julia, who was sitting across from her, also reached out and patted the crystal ball in front of her.

This woman seemed to have been eyeing Hyvier for a long time, and her shot was half a beat faster. As a result, the dome shimmered, and her bewitching face was displayed on the screen of the water mirror.

"I'm sorry, Helvy, I got the first shot!"

Julia's bewitching face was filled with indescribable pride. At the same time, Watson, who was standing beside her, smiled fiercely and made a throat seal gesture at Li Ba.

After that, he jumped down. (To be continued.) )
