Chapter 9: The Village of Boshka

The band played exciting music and ushered in the annual junior sword fighting competition. The knights and performers in the gladiatorial arena cheered for the equestrian tricks before the start of the competition, and the voices of the audience came and went.

The Junior Sword Tournament officially began.

The huge arena is divided into eight sections to start the game, and each arena has a certain interval between the witnesses to move around.

In front of the auditorium was the special seat of the Marval family, and Manro and Riel were also fortunate enough to be invited to enjoy this seat.

The organisers did not prohibit people from betting on the players because they enjoyed it themselves.

Most people have already thought about who they will bid on, and most of them are perennial seeded players, or big dark horses who have won championships.

For first-year contestants like Dye Qi, no one cares about them at all.

The venue where Dye Qi is located is the sixth venue, in the corner of the venue. But this is also very good, being judged by people will more or less affect the performance.

The opponent in the first round was a girl, very weak, and it seemed that it was the first time that people were staring at her, and she became a little timid.

"Game on!"

Under the order of the witness, the players in each venue took action.

"Well, please advise. ”

The girl in front of Dye Qi pulled out the long sword at her waist and said.

"Please advise. ”

He also drew his sword and raised it against his enemy.

The conventions set the criteria for determining victory and defeat, and most of them did not deviate from the Imperial dueling methods.

The weapon destruction is judged to be negative;

The weapon is judged to be negative when it hits out of bounds;

The player hits out of bounds and is judged to be negative;

The player's surrender is judged to be negative;

The player's loss of mobility is judged to be negative.

For children who can't control their swords well, making their opponents incapacitate is the easiest way to win.

But people like Dye Qi, who can already control their own swords, will choose to fly or break their weapons when they don't have to.

The most important thing right now is to win the first round.

Before the top 32 in the group, the official uniform stipulates that the winner will be determined by the "one-hit battle".

In the so-called "one-hit battle", both players have only one chance to play the sword, which can be at the same time or sequentially. A hit must meet the criteria for a win to be considered a winner.

Most of the time, no one wants to be beaten up.

Seeing the assault of Dye Qi, the girl also hurriedly took out her sword to block, but the difference in strength was huge, the long sword in her hand was knocked away by a blow, and after the crisp collision sound, the iron sword in the girl's hand was obliquely inserted into the sand outside the boundary.

"On the sixth occasion, the winner is dyed. ”

Dye Qi didn't expect the first round of the game to be so easy. At this time, he also understood the reason for the official use of "one-hit combat". Quickly weed out those who are weak.

Still, I'm sorry for that girl.

"With such progress, it is estimated that we will be able to enter the top 32 in the afternoon. ”

Seeing the constantly changing players in the field, Dye Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"The Charles'... Is it dying?"

At this moment, a boy's voice came. Dye Qi looked back, and the boy had short dark blue hair and was wearing the red and white clothes of the Marval family.

"You are..."

Dye Qi knew that the other party was a nobleman, so he couldn't be lazy in his words.

"Marwar Dinger, the second son in the family. ”

"Hello. ”

Dye Qi bowed and said, he knew that the heirs of these hereditary aristocratic families had the right to learn high-level swordsmanship, and if Dingge also participated, his hope of winning the championship would be very slim.

"I watched the game you just played, the sword is sharp and fast, and it uses high-speed swordsmanship. ”

"That's what you're saying. ”

"Your strength can definitely enter the top sixteen, but in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Dye Qi was stunned.

"In the quarterfinals, you will meet Satters, his brute force swordsmanship is not something that ordinary people can bear. ”

"I know that. ”

He was well aware of Satters' strength, after all, the two had lived in the same orphanage for about four or five years.

But in the fight with Satters, he had to win.

"After all, it's just low-level swordsmanship. ”

Dinger left this sentence and went to the arena, leaving only Dye Qi with a back.

"Low-level swordsmanship..."

It is not surprising that the aristocracy looks down on these lowest things.

Although he didn't like that kind of high-minded attitude, Dye Qi still wanted to see how strong Mavardinger's swordsmanship really was.

"Lord Sheng Hua asked Manro to come and see, probably because of him. ”

Dye Qi saw Manro in the audience, and if there was anything he could learn in this competition, it was probably Dinger's swordsmanship.

Come to think of it, Dinger's strength must not be underestimated.

"On the first occasion, Marwar Dinger won. ”

Before Ran Qi walked to the competition venue, he had already heard the news of Dinger's victory, although it was not at all surprising, but he did not expect the game to end so quickly.

"It's worthy of the Marval family, I made a bet right. ”

"Did you see it just now? ”

"Not at all. ”

Similar emotions kept coming from the audience, and all the remarks were focused on the game just now. Although Dye Qi didn't see the game, he learned from the audience that the game only took a short moment.

That's the kind of guy that Satters defeated him?

Dye Qi couldn't help but think.

"And sure enough, it came. ”

The first thing Ding Ge saw in the distance after stepping down, after all, his face was completely different from that of Westerners. It's not hard to recognize.

"Got it, this is the gap, the swordsmanship. ”

Dinger patted Dye Qi on the shoulder, and although the words were harsh, there was no hostility.

"But you still lost to Sarthus?"

Dye Qi asked.

"No, it's my first time and I know if Satters is a three-time champion. ”

Only then did Dye Qi understand that the reason why Satters was able to win before had a lot to do with the fact that these real masters did not participate.

"Even if it's Satuss, he still uses low-level swordsmanship, which is completely incomparable to my family tradition. ”

Dinger looked at Satters, who was playing on Court 4, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

Pity is not mercy, but sorrow for low-grade goods.

"On the fourth occasion, Satters won. ”

Unsurprising results.

Glancing at Sarters, who had finished the match, both of them had a sense of tension, but according to the rules of the convention, it was illegal to duel privately during the event.

The two knew that even if they wanted to fight, they would not be in a hurry at this time.

Back on the sixth court, the witness and his henchmen were ready to preside over the second game of Dye Qi. This time he was confronting a boy his age, but interestingly, he was using a great axe instead of a sword.

There is no restriction on the choice of weapons for contestants, so each weapon is in stock.

However, Dye Qi has no experience in fighting with axes, so he can only rely on common sense to fight his opponents.

"The game is on. ”

The opponent rushes out first, and in a "one-hit battle", the first player is often more advantageous.

The giant axe fell, and the large area in front of it almost became the opponent's attack range, and Dye Qi knew that there was no room to dodge, so he blocked it with his sword.

The sword and axe collided, and in an instant, Dye Qi felt a huge push pushing him away in an instant, and he hurriedly plunged his sword into the sand to stabilize his body.

"One-hit combat" does not mean that you can only attack once, but that you can only perform one move per attack. In this way, the swordsmanship of speed flow is also completed.

But because of this, the opponent's attacks will not stop.

Same skills, same tactics. Dye Qi understood his intentions, which was to push himself out of bounds.

"In that case!"

Dye Qi raised his sword sideways and entered the range of his opponent's attack, but then he swung his sword and slashed through the opponent's axe without mercy, using his strength to strike.

That's one of the tricks that Manro told him to defend and counter-attack.

The opponent didn't expect that someone would dare to take his attack, and he obviously panicked, and that's it, he was easily taken out of the field by his own strength.

"On the sixth occasion, the winner is dyed. ”

The witness said.

Although he was victorious, he also left a long blood mark on his arm, although it was not unbearable, but the next battle would become more difficult.

Youluo in the special seat also saw the situation of Dye Qi, she still remembered the bet between the two last night, and she came here to watch the game just to see Dye Qi's embarrassment.

"It's obviously meaningless, why am I enjoying it? ”

Yuro asked herself, but couldn't think of an answer.

She didn't have much interest in anything after the injury, but why did this bet make her so interested?

For her, this feeling was also the first time.

"As long as he loses, I'll be able to go back to the way I used to be. ”

Yuro admonished herself.

"On the sixth occasion, the winner is dyed. ”

While Yuro was thinking, Dye Qi's third game was over, and although the process was a little tortuous, it was a victory.

For Dye Qi, nature is a good thing.

"Dye Qi's performance is very good. ”

Riel said to Manro. Because the two of them are sitting in the special seat, they can also see the situation in the field very well.

"So far, it's been his normal play. ”

Manro was well aware of Dye Qi's strength, and he knew that so far, Dye Qi had not attacked with all his might.

"Probably before the top 16, Dye Qi will win. ”

Manroe said yes, but his eyes were fixed on Marwar Dinger in Court One. From time to time, I get caught up in thought.

In his opinion, Dinger's swordsmanship was even above his own, but his swordsmanship had an indescribable familiarity, as if he had seen it before.

However, since he was born nine years ago, he has never been to Makarxia except this time, and he has met with the people of the Mawar family.

It was precisely because of this that this familiarity made him feel strange.

"On the sixth occasion, the winner is dyed. ”

Meanwhile, Dye Qi qualified for the round of thirty-two in the fourth match. This is not what Manro expected, in his opinion, Dye Qi's strength can at least enter the top eight.

"Next up is Satters. ”

Manro looked at Dye Qi, he knew the conflict between the two, but before the quarterfinals met, Dye Qi still had two games to deal with.

Although these two games are not too difficult for the current Dye Qi, he knows that the more proud he is, the easier it is to capsize in the gutter.

What he has to face is the guy who used to bully him, and before he meets him, Dye Qi has no intention of admitting defeat.
