Chapter 5: Letters, Sealed Nobles
In all fairness, to be able to break into the top ten of the St. Tancienburg Military Academy, the strength of the heavily armored swordsman Danny is really good.
However, bad luck was on his part, when he unloaded most of his armor and finally found his opponent in the "Realm of Stones" field...... situation, closer to Daxiu Victor caught him first.
Five skeleton soldiers with bone scythes and shields surrounded them, and what was even worse was that a thin mist gradually rose in all directions, and the speed was extremely slow at first, but when Danny was entangled by those skeleton soldiers, the speed of the thick black mist suddenly accelerated.
Necromancy: Dark Mist.
The demon's innate skill is a kind of spell-like ability derived from the bloodline, which is an acquired spell for human necromancers, but for the demon, it is a talent inspired from the bloodline, which cannot be replaced, changed, and even many times cannot be chosen.
But once solidified, the power of the same level is indeed more powerful than the spells of human necromancers.
At least, in most cases, like the kind of once-in-a-millennium necromantic genius, can practice acquired skills comparable to innate or even further, this situation is another matter.
After all, nothing in this world is absolute.
In this case, with Zhu Peng's powerful control ability over summons, in fact, with these five skeleton soldiers, Zhu Peng could flatten down the heavily armored swordsman Danny in front of him, but considering the level of Daxiu Victor himself and the many teachers and classmates around him, Zhu Peng still didn't choose to do so after all.
The five skeleton soldiers rushed out of the thick black fog in a group of two to attack Danny, and under Zhu Peng's exquisite control, the two skeleton soldiers were one in front of the other, not on the same kendo line, so that Danny had no chance to explode and make a big move to explode two instantly.
After a few moves, he quickly withdrew, and the other two skeleton soldiers rushed up to fight and consume, the last skeleton soldier filled the position, and the two skeleton soldiers who withdrew returned to Zhu Peng's side to extract white bones from the grave to repair them, which are all branch skills of the spell of skeleton resurrection, and it is impossible for skeleton recovery not to repair the bones.
Under the deployment, the skeleton soldiers under his command always maintain the rhythm of three to one at full state.
The thick black fog that could barely reach out to Danny, the heavy armor swordsman, was admired by the surrounding audience after the perspective of the off-court spells.
While admiring the subtlety of the necromancy, they also sighed at the comfort and calmness of Zhu Peng's play. The mage takes the dog and lets the baby fight with the opponent, while he hides behind and calmly casts spells, which is undoubtedly a very classic tactical play.
However, what amazed the professionals even more was Zhu Peng's sharpness when he sensed the arrival of his opponent, and his ability to grasp the heat like a warm water warming frog when he cast the dark mist.
"But Daxiu's skeleton control ability has improved so fast, with Danny's strength, he can actually be entangled with three skeleton soldiers. ”
"Either this kid has hidden his strength before, or he is frustrated in love and proud in the field, but after being stimulated, his strength has improved. Alyssa and Kenner had a fight, and for a teenager of this age, this kind of thing is really a huge trauma. The two teachers whispered to each other as they watched the game, and the teachers could often pay attention to the students with a relatively detached attitude, because of experience, there were really few things they didn't know.
Since his physical energy is limited, his combat effectiveness will inevitably decline with the continuation of time, but the physical strength of the undead is unlimited, and after luring the enemy deep into the country several times not only failed, but let the other party really take advantage, Danny, who suffered some minor injuries, could no longer hold back.
The vindictive spirit erupted, and he frantically swung the great sword in his hand like a mad bull, rushing in the direction he had guessed.
Even if you can't get lucky enough to rush in front of the caster, you must at least break out of this fog, otherwise the initiative will be in the hands of the enemy, and the longer the time drags on, the more invincible you will become.
However, he didn't know if Danny was lucky or unlucky, and he guessed that choosing a direction really pointed directly at the necromancer Zhu Peng.
How much range can the dark mist laid by a second-order necromancer be, looking at Danny who rushed towards him with a fighting aura spreading around him, Zhu Peng frowned slightly, his slender fingers stretched out, and pointed forward, accompanied by the chanting of incantations and the infusion of necromantic magic.
The three skeleton soldiers in front of Zhu Peng, who had just been repaired, suddenly became thick and strong, every bone on their bodies and the sickle shield in their hands grew into an extremely hideous extension, and the soul fire in the skull burned even more vigorously!
2nd Order Necromancy Enhancement Spell: Bone Sharpness.
The next moment, under the master's command, three skeleton soldiers with a faint blue light scattered around them rushed towards Danny, the heavily armored swordsman who had exploded in fighting spirit.
Formal necromancers can already summon zombies, and there are corpses in the burial pits of the Realm of Stones, but in the eyes of others, the second-order necromancer Daxiu Victor did not choose the traditional summoning of dead corpses, but chose the white bone strengthening spell Bone Sharp.
Such a spell configuration is a little worse in terms of stability, but in terms of short-term explosiveness, it is still better than the traditional spell configuration.
The three skeleton soldiers strengthened by spells were not at all the same as the previous battle state, and the bull-like Danny thought that he had slammed into the steel wall, and the three bone scythes were slashed straight at the head and forehead, one in the middle and at the waist and kidneys, and the other was slashed down...... Male dignity.
It's not just that these three skeleton soldiers are just like warriors, and their fighting style is fierce, but what is even more terrifying is that the two skeleton soldiers behind them are also quickly pounced, and when they successfully merge together, they must be dead and alive.
(Daxiu's magic can't be too much left, damn, fight again!) Suddenly crushing the secret medicine in the dentures, Danny's physical strength exploded for a while, how could he not know that this cheap secret medicine would inevitably hurt the body, but for a child like Danny, this competition or job fair is too important.
In the Immortal Empire, swordsmen are far less expensive than mages...... It seems that no matter where you are, the swordsman is not as expensive as the mage.
Mages who have graduated from the academy can find a good job anywhere, but swordsmen who have worked hard to hone their martial arts skills are different, if they can't do their best to show themselves in this rare opportunity, they may be miserable in the future.
With a desperate and decisive forcing potential, in Zhu Peng's surprised gaze, a sword smashed the middle of the three skeletons in front of him, and then the heavily armored swordsman Danny staggered towards Zhu Peng with the knife wounds on both sides.
At the last moment, he even threw away the big sword in his hand, but it didn't matter, as long as he was forced to get close to deal with a delicate necromancer, Danny was convinced that the physical pressure he had polished for more than ten years could crush the other party, and he had almost seen glorious victories and generous recruitment conditions coming to him.
Zhu Peng took a step back, avoided Danny's hungry dog's pounce, and watched the other party slip and fall in front of him with a five-body throw, this guy just raised his head and was about to get up, Zhu Peng took a step forward and slipped out of his sleeve and held a stone in his hand, held it high, and waved it down.
Bang!
The stone shattered, blood trickled down Danny's hair, and the young man, who had a lot of enthusiasm for battle, rolled his eyes and fainted...... Not all mages are not good at melee combat, if you are not afraid of vivisection, the one in front of you can perfectly show you what it is: a cracked tiger and leopard, what is called: a bear with bare hands.
(Actually, I'm TM for your good, I started to knock drugs at such a young age, and I will find that I can't do it when I knock it.) This kind of secret medicine similar to stimulants, simply eating it actually does not have much effect, as long as you don't really consume too much physical strength and need to replenish it, then it won't be long before the drug properties will be excreted by the body's immune system along with urine.
But if you take the secret medicine after a continuous physical outbreak, the hormones in the drug are fully absorbed by the body, the disadvantages and harms will follow, the hormones in the drug will gradually inhibit the body's own hormone secretion, so young people take this medicine, eat and eat and find that they can't do it, they lose the hormone secretion provided in such drugs, that is, drug dependence, and it is a drug three parts poison, foreign hormones and the body's own natural secretion of hormones, in terms of safety is incomparable.
If it weren't for himself, the young man in front of him would have more opportunities to show, Zhu Peng was somewhat apologetic to him, so he didn't pull out the talisman dagger he carried, but smashed him with a stone and forcibly interrupted the effect of the medicine.
In fact, drawing a sword across Danny's neck can also win, and it is more personable and graceful, but Zhu Peng did not do that.
In the stands around, the cheers and shouts among the people were full of cheers, hand-to-hand combat, instant victory and defeat, and the reversal of the situation when the blood was seen, which was really exciting and exciting!
"I'll go, it's hard enough, the stones are all smashed. Ordinary necromancers don't have that kind of strength, do they?"
"I'm more concerned about whether it's a plus or a minus, misestimating the situation and being assaulted by a melee striker. But very calm, there was no panic to put the melee down, the general caster does not have this courage, I have a niece who is also a spellcaster, and the first time I went to the battlefield, I was directly frightened by the blood. ”
"Send an invitation to this Danny, the quality is still very good, but unfortunately he was eliminated in the first game, and there is no chance to continue to show himself. But it's a good thing for the Corps, it's easy to recruit and there are few people to rob. No matter what kind of discussion was going around, Zhu Peng summoned the skeleton soldiers and turned around and left the arena.
........................
Today's game is over, because my side ended relatively quickly, so most of the top 10 matches have not ended yet.
Holding a book of necromancy spells, Zhu Peng sat down on the special seats prepared by the school for the top 10 contestants. Daxiu Victor's two enemies, Alyssa and Kennerton, are also in the middle of the match.
Daxiu may not have expected it, but Zhu Peng was quite puzzled, Alyssa and Kennaton's strength is actually good, even if they play head-to-head, they may not lose to Daxiu, not to mention that it seems that it is very difficult for these three to get the first place, so is it really necessary to create a tragedy and kill yourself first?
If it's just a love killing, it's not very like, Alyssa has already chosen Kennaton, and killing herself is even more unnecessary for this little couple, right?
I thought, followed the game from time to time, and looked through the books in my hand from time to time.
In fact, Zhu Peng doesn't know much about the words in this world, especially spell books, which are even more difficult to read through.
But there must be a spell model in a spell book like this, looking at those figures, Zhu Peng, who has a legendary necromancy cultivator, can easily reverse the spell it represents, and even through this ability, he even translates the text corresponding to the spell in the book.
A book quickly turned down, Zhu Peng learned dozens of low-level and medium-level necromancy, the spell model and formula are basically the same, but they correspond to the basic rules of each plane world that are slightly different, and there are certain adjustments, Zhu Peng has the corresponding spiritual power, understands the relevant basic rules of this world, and then learns and casts spells easily, but Zhu Peng can't show too much, after all, as Daxiu Victor, a young man, he can't have too many spell reserves.
After all, it is a declining aristocracy, and Daxiu Victor is not in a position to start learning from a young age.
Kennathan is a Warcraft knight, and the advantage of being a rich man is that there are as many as five of them alone, all of which are raised and trained by servants, and they are brought out for different environments and different situations when they go to the battlefield, which is a very popular professional advancement among nobles and wealthy businessmen.
As long as the mount rank of the Warcraft Knight is not higher than that of the knight, the other professions will pinch their noses and admit it, but this is the case, and from time to time the mount gnaws the nobles.
Of course, it's hard for this kind of thing to happen to Kenaton, although he is sloppy, but he is not hasty, and he knows to work hard when he should work, otherwise Alyssa, who has a high eye, will not look down on him.
Alyssa is an elemental summoner, which is also a money-burning profession, poor summoners can only communicate, persuade, and subdue the summoning elements by force, while the rich people take all kinds of gems and various element crystals to tempt them, the difference is like the poor sling silk chasing her sister with her face and eloquence, and the rich man directly smashes it with money, and the quantity and quality of the sister must be different under the same circumstances.
And Alyssa is also a second-order assassin part-time, this is the message that Daxiu Victor was stabbed and exchanged his life for his life, in fact, there is no need to be so tragic, people like Zhu Peng can see Alyssa's martial arts skills at a glance.
Although this rather organic woman washed away the cocoon skin caused by hard practice of martial arts with medicinal water, but the eyes of a person like Zhu Peng can judge her martial arts path through her clothes through her muscle lines, of course, this ability is different from having a code in her eyes and no code in her heart, seeing through the muscles, bones, and meridians, and the beautiful skin is the opposite but cannot be seen.
Both of them have good strength and good luck, and the strength of the opponents they meet is below them, but both of them are obviously damaged by the appearance of Daxiu, and some are not in shape.
Alyssa was better, Kennerton, who needed to fight in close combat, almost capsized in the gutter because of his trance, and in the end, it was the blazing tiger monster he sat down that successfully saved the scene, but this also caused a burst of boos from the surrounding field.
This continent worships power, even if you are a nobleman, you are rich and powerful, if you don't have power, you will be looked down upon, and it is even more difficult to subdue powerful subordinates, just like the administrative system of the entire immortal empire, which is supported by the majesty of the immortal emperor, otherwise how can there be room for those cabinet ministers who are full of brains to be powerful, and they would have been assassinated by the strong a long time ago.
Now they have an immortal emperor covering, and the assassins who dare to kill the administrative minister in the imperial capital are basically made into human specimens by the emperor and put in the study.
In the High Demon World, the political power must rely on the existence of the strong, the Immortal Empire, the Holy Empire, the Orc Empire, and the Holy Dragon Empire, even if it is the most democratic and free business alliance, if it were not supported by a hidden old monster, it would have been destroyed by other forces eight hundred times.
With the end of the first day of the academy top 10 competition, everyone came and went home with fun, and tomorrow will be more exciting, because from the top five matches, the game will be a large number of death row prisoners, monsters, and little devils to enhance the sense of actual combat, today's game is just exciting, from tomorrow, the game will be doubly bloody.
The Undead Empire belongs to the Dark Empire, and the civilians here do not need to suppress their bloodthirsty desires and the evil of human nature, but because of this, the crime rate of vicious events in the Undead Empire is far lower than that of the Business Alliance or even the Holy Empire, the Holy Dragon Empire is because of the strict criminal law, not to mention the Orc Empire, where the tribes killing each other is considered daily life, not a crime.
The Immortal Continent, in addition to these five rogue powers, the major powers are also surrounded by some affiliated kingdoms and principalities, each of which forms a force and also fights against the erosion of the Endless Abyss World.
There is both cooperation and mutual attack between all sides, although each side has dirty feelings, and I wish the other party would die as soon as possible, but in the context of the abyss invasion, I am also a little afraid that the infinite expansion of the abyss rift will really swallow up which big country.
Therefore, a dark empire like the Undead Empire can have noble elves as high-ranking officials, the iron-blooded generalissimo of the Holy Empire is a fallen paladin, and the Orc Empire has a large number of human shepherds, and in the context of the abyss invasion, all kinds of civilizations, all kinds of cultures, and all kinds of races have been forcibly mixed together to form this gorgeous and colorful world.
Returning to the dormitory, Zhu Peng received a personal letter from the fortress, which was actually Lotali Irons.
The handwriting on the letter paper is beautiful, it is hard to imagine that this is actually written by a hand who has been holding a sword for many years, in contrast, Zhu Peng's words are like those written by primary school students, when holding a knife, holding a sword, and holding Fang Tian's halberd, Zhu Peng can control Ruyi with strength, but when he holds the pen, he writes very quickly, but except for Zhu Peng himself, I am afraid that no one can understand what he writes. Or maybe he can write well, but he's too lazy to bother with that.
Lotari's letter said that Victor's longbow had been tested and was indeed suitable as a military auxiliary weapon, and that the merits had been reported to the military department, but ...... Lotari didn't say it in the letter, but she wished Daxiu Victor all the best to get a good result, if Daxiu Victor was really Daxiu Victor, he might be confused, even if there were some guesses, he couldn't be completely sure.
But the core of Daxiu Victor is Zhu Peng now, and Zhu Peng instantly understood that if he could get good results in the top ten competition of the academy, then the military department would not mind the icing on the cake, otherwise, the situation would be difficult to say.
Everyone knows that sending charcoal in the snow is far more precious than icing on the cake, but it is precious because it is contrary to common sense.
The real nobles are also different from the real nobles, and being sealed to a good place is of course different from being sealed to a poor mountain and wilderness.
flicked the letter in his hand, sighed that it was good to be handsome, and then Zhu Peng wrote a reply letter with a pen, with the means of spy wizards and dragons, it is completely conceivable that the girl with a budding heart will not be able to sleep tonight.
In fact, it was true, through some means, Lotali, who received the receipt of the letter that night, held the letter to her chest and happily circled around the room, a letter of no more than 800 words, she read it word by word for more than two hours.
However, after the joy was the gain and loss, Lotari sat down in front of the mirror after putting down the letter, and at this moment she washed off the potion that had been covering her face.
In the army, in addition to the mysterious and terrifying, respected mages, the appearance of a white and pure girl has too great an impact on the morale of the soldiers, so Lotari has been applying a potion to cover up the ugliness for many years, but she herself did not expect that the long-term application of the potion will have the effect of sunscreen.
Because of the influence of high demons in this plane world, the average life expectancy of human beings has reached about one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty years old, and if it is a high-level powerhouse, it can extend its life span and stay young forever, but it is not good for women to be much older than men.
In ancient China, it was said that the twenty-eight best human body was like a crisp, which refers to a sixteen-year-old fresh girl, not to twenty-eight years old, in ancient China, because of the general short life expectancy, a woman is already an old woman over twenty-five years old.
Lotari-Irons sighed in his room, and the old priest of the god of the underworld also sighed in his room, although he did not peep, but with his strong spiritual power, the old priest could still feel the unstable mental state of this little niece.
Originally, old Irons hoped that his only granddaughter could rush all the way to the Sanctuary (Legendary) rank on the battlefield with her anger, but now it seems that there is no need to think about it, with the current mental state of Lotali-Irons, let alone sharpening herself in the battle array, don't be in a trance and be beaten by the weak to the strong.
This is also the unavoidable pain of many nobles and wealthy businessmen in the High Demon Plane: there is no successor.
Whether it is cultivating martial arts or magic, only by entering the Sacred Domain can one be dominant, and only by entering the Sacred Domain can one gain a long lifespan, although it is very difficult to live in this war-torn continental Sacred Domain...... But no matter what, he can control his own life destiny better than halftones or commoners.
However, the theorem of wealth and sadness for three generations also exists in this world, with the blessing of the ancestors, there are all kinds of wine and brocade clothes, such as jade beauties, how many noble sons are willing to work hard in such an environment, and even be born and die?
After mixing happily in this life, you have earned it, and if you work hard, you are likely to hang up halfway, and the promotion to the Holy Domain does not mean that you have good qualifications, if you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to succeed, how many people are stuck in the Holy Realm for a lifetime, crying for this, laughing for this, and going crazy for this.
It's not that these noble second generations and rich second generations are stupid, but they have enough vision and experience to see the hardships and hardships in between, and they have more choices and easier ways to live: many difficulties are made extremely difficult because you see this difficulty.
And the majority of ordinary civilians, there is no other way to choose, they don't want to live a miserable life, they can only grit their teeth and risk their lives to impact, so in the high magic world, they are also rich and sad for three generations, and they have no strength of their own, and the wealth that their ancestors left you with ten lifetimes of inexhaustible wealth is difficult to keep, and the commoners rely on the huge base, and the noble class cannot accept the strong people in the holy realm who continue to emerge.
Because the aristocratic class itself represents power, and the nobles without power are far inferior to the commoners.
Therefore, the old Irons, who has been fierce all his life, almost used the whole clan to act and deceived Lotali, although this is a little unfair to a girl, but who makes her the only qualified one among the younger generations?
If she doesn't stand up and fight for the success rate that is still okay, if she replaces her father and uncle who are full of brains, she will really send them to the battlefield to add food to the demons.
"Alas, more than ten years of hard work were ruined by a little bastard. However, if that little bastard has enough qualifications, it is not a bad thing. The old priest, who had stood side by side with old Irons as a comrade-in-arms, murmured.
Limited by his own vision, the old priest didn't know that there was a secret method in this universe, known as the muddy water harvesting pill method, Lotari was already a third-order solid foundation, abundant Yuan Yin, and with the excellent technology of a humanoid automatic cannon, the way of the Sanctuary that they were struggling to pursue was actually not so difficult.
Of course, a high-level dragon like this is not so easy to find.
........................
The next day, death row prisoners, monsters, and little devils from prisoner carts were put into the real venue, and the killing was almost white-hot at the beginning of the game.
Warcraft and little devils are not counted, as long as the death row prisoners in the arena successfully kill the academy students, no matter what crimes they have committed before, they can be directly pardoned, even if it is treason, in fact, there are still very few people who will commit treason in the undead empire.
Hades/Immortal Emperor, this one is the strongest person in this continent for thousands of years, and his status is comparable to that of the Casa Witch Emperor in the wizarding world, it is better to commit suicide directly if he betrays his country, that will at least be much easier.
The top five finalists were decided yesterday, and the draw made up today's list of matches:
Daxiu Victor vs Kennerton Hart
Nicholas Long vs Zorro Wilson
Alyssa was lucky to have a bye and advanced directly.
In fact, there are many ways to avoid the unfairness of byes, but there is no need, who dares to say that luck is not a kind of strength?
As long as the academy can maintain the relative fairness of the game, it is enough, absolutely fair, it is not necessary, and it does not exist in this world.
The scale of the second qualifier is much larger than the first round of the competition, not only the investment of death row prisoners, Warcraft, and little devils, but even the tickets are much higher, but the annual top ten competition of the St. Tancienburg Military Academy is like a New Year for people here, as long as there is a little spare money at home, you must buy tickets to come in, otherwise you will be embarrassed to say hello to others when you go out.
After a whole year of hard work, I can't even save the money to watch the top ten competition of the college with my family, how is this mixed!
The magma field made of spells flowed with earthfire magma, and even high-temperature flames poured out from the ground crack from time to time.
This can be said to be a very bad restraint terrain for the necromancer, but it is very advantageous for Kennerton, the Warcraft Knight.
Daxiu Victor specifically mentioned before he died that Kennaton had a heavily purchased Earth Fire Dragon cub, which was the only mount Kennaton had cultivated with his heart, the Flame Wurmon, with thick skin and thick flesh, strong strength, and the ability to spit out high temperature and blazing flames, people were born to live in the volcanic range, this kind of site is like going home to the Wurmmon, and I like it very much.
Warcraft Knight Kennaton is at the beginning of the third order, Daxiu-Victor is high in the second order, originally relying on the strength of the necromancer profession, the more the first order is nothing, and the victory or defeat of each other is still unknown, but now Kennaton and himself have entered the mature stage of the third-order earth fire dragon, two to fight Daxiu-Victor, and there is also a geographical advantage, which leads to the odds of Daxiu-Victor in off-the-counter gambling to soar.
"Sometimes, appropriate concessions are also a manifestation of wisdom. In such a situation, in such an environment, I will find it tricky to go up. ”
"Yes, let's see when that Daxiu Victor will retire, if he retires after irreparable serious injuries, it will greatly reduce the overall evaluation. ”
"They are all young people, and I heard an old friend of mine say that this Daxiu and that Kennaton also have an emotional dispute because of a girl, and when they meet in this case, I'm afraid no one will back down. ”
"Alright, alright. Not to mention, the carnage as an appetizer has begun, so let's enjoy the game. "Outside the court, the middle-level managers of those major forces are talking to each other, and there are even some high-level bigwigs.
No way, if you go through the normal process of recruiting, I'm afraid that seventy percent of the people recruited are relatives and children of their own people inside, and the remaining two and a half percent are cheap goods that pull down the upper limit of next year's salary.
Otherwise, every time something happens, the big guy above has to come out to the platform to wipe his butt every time, it's not okay to do this, you have to recruit someone who can really do the job to come in.
A Warcraft knight in armor riding a flaming dragon, a necromancer in a military robe who has decided to kill, will fight and bite on the blazing arena, and the victor will trample on the bones of the defeated to greet flowers and applause.
Empire, the weak are not needed.
