Chapter 8: The Calm Before the Storm

"I'm on?!"

Mu Shiyu said in surprise.

Ji Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, she and I can't go for some reason, so you can only go." ”

"Uh, why?"

Ji Tian said: "Of course you want to eat for the rest of your life, don't worry, I will cheer for you." ”

Mu Shiyu was speechless, thinking about what he was here to do, and how everything was done according to what he said.

But after thinking about the strength they had shown in the wasteland Jitian before, he comforted himself that they were just low-key and didn't want to attract attention.

Mu Shiyu, who wanted to understand, took a deep breath and looked at Lu Ke, who had won dozens of games and still had a relaxed face.

Lu Ke smiled gently and said, "You seem to be the one who followed Ji Tian, don't worry, seeing that you are the first woman to participate, I will release the water slightly." ”

"Okay. ”

Mu Shiyu looked at the twenty stones on the table, some of them were large and some of them were small, and they were unremarkable.

There is no breath of magic array in it, it should be picked up casually on the road.

Mu Shiyu nodded and used the simplest and most effective method.

She found a plank to put the stones together, then picked them up and stood in the prescribed position.

"You're going to win more, but then you're going to lose your spot, and it's hard to hit the mirror in the back. ”

Having said that, Lu Ke still took it seriously, if he lost because he was not careful, then the money would flow out of his hands, which was naturally not what Lu Ke wanted to see.

There were bursts of cheering around, but no one wanted to pressure Mu Shiyu to win, they hoped that Lu Ke would lose, but they didn't have much hope for Mu Shiyu.

......

......

Ji Tian sneaked over and whispered to the person who pressed the bet: "I bet on Mu Shiyu to win." ”

The man looked at Ji Tian with a strange look on his face and said, "Are you sure?"

Ji Tian said: "Nonsense, if I'm still bored and joking, hurry up and hurry up, I can't press it at the beginning, by the way, how many are there now?"

The man did a rough math and said, "About twenty silver coins." ”

"Enough is enough, the money is for you. ”

In another place, Mu Shiyu was already ready, she swung the wooden board hard, and the stone suddenly shot like marbles towards Lu Ke.

Lu Ke smiled slightly, took a step forward, and waved the short sword in his hand like a phantom.

He didn't miss a single stone in the air, all of them were cut down right in front of him.

One...... Two...... Three...... Eight...... Twelve... ,

He counted silently in his heart.

The speed of the short sword has not slowed down in the slightest, and there is even a faint feeling that it will be faster.

Until...... There was not a single stone in the air, but he frowned.

He had been counting the number by the touch of his blade as he cut down the stones, from the beginning to the end, but no matter how much he thought about it, it had always been nineteen.

He remembered clearly, there were twenty stones, but what about the last one?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and suddenly he looked up, and something in his pupils grew larger and larger, and he felt a pressure pass through the tips of his ears.

It's tickling, it's a gust of wind.

A crisp cracking sound sounded, Lu Ke's pupils shrank, and then a crisp shattering sound sounded behind him.

Behind the road carving, the mirror had already shown cobweb marks, and the last stone was quietly embedded in the middle of the cobwebs

The process was so fast that Lu Ke couldn't react at all.

"This ......"

There was a sudden gasping sound around them, and people looked at Mu Shiyu in surprise and opened their mouths.

"This ...... This should be a mage, right?"

The people who witnessed the whole process looked at each other, and at this time, the people said weakly.

"It should ...... Right. ”

If Mu Shiyu wants to win, he must show his own realm, and once the realm appears, then the people around him will naturally feel it.

This realm is the same as Lu Ke, and even the energy contained in it is far stronger than Lu Ke.

And even more surprising was a trajectory, one that shattered the glass and stones.

In this trajectory, there are still faint pale cyan lines in the air that have not yet dissipated, and the world knows that lines are elements.

And among the eight major professions in the world, there is only one profession that can control the elements, and that is the mage.

However, mages are extremely rare, because mages are different from the telekinesis that the ninji relies on, and different from the array master's understanding of the formation.

The mage needs a singular affinity, an affinity for the perception of the elements.

And this extremely harsh condition makes many people shy away from this.

However, there are still some people who have succeeded in becoming mages, and they are surprised to find that the elemental can not only speed up their cultivation, but also command the elemental to attack others.

Either way, it points to one point, and that is that mages are really popular.

Although Lu Ke was also surprised, he recovered quickly, and he smiled bitterly at Mu Shiyu and said, "I really didn't expect that you turned out to be a mage, now that I think about what I said before, it's really stupid." ”

Mu Shiyu comforted: "Actually, the main thing is that you can't move, your swordsmanship is very good, if you have defense, it's really difficult for me to win." ”

Lu Ke said with some frustration: "You don't need to comfort me, I'm quite satisfied to be able to see the mage, but it's a pity that the money is gone." ”

Mu Shiyu was amused and said, "Don't worry, I won't take that money, it's useless to me." ”

"Oh yes. ”

Two voices rang out at the same time.

Ji Tian walked over with a pile of copper coins and said to Mu Shiyu: "This is all money, money, don't want it in vain." ”

Then he shouted to the people around him: "Don't want to poach people, she is my team, whoever digs me is in a hurry." ”

Ji Tian is like a mother chicken protecting her chicks at this time.

The people around them all laughed when they saw Ji Tian like this, and said, "Don't worry, I won't rob you of people, we are just curious about what the mage is like." ”

Ji Tian nodded very satisfied, put the money in his arms on the table, and shouted to Uncle Nine at the counter: "Uncle Nine, all this money is used to buy wine and meat, I invited it today!"

The crowd shouted, "Good!"

Frost Yusheng came over at some point, and said angrily: "I don't care what happens to you, anyway, the Ice Tooth Wolf King is mine, and no one can rob me." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

......

......

"Uncle Nine. ”

"Oh, you're here, do you have any plans to take on any tasks?"

"I want to take that S-class mission, can I not tell them......"

"Hehe, I believe that only you can take on this task, your strength is not only now, is it. ”

"Hahaha, did you see it..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it secret for you, but do you really want to do this task, I position this task as S-level, it's not a matter of difficulty, it's an endless trouble after completion......"

"Well, I know. ”

......

......

Ji Tian stood at the door of the tavern, it was already noon at this time, so the sun's eyes were a little dazzling, he squinted slightly, and said to Mu Shiyu beside him: "How about it, this is a good place, right?"

Mu Shiyu thought of his grandfather's evaluation of this place a long time ago, and said softly: "This place is indeed very good. ”

"So, as we said earlier, I want to know your purpose. ”

Ji Tian covered the dazzling sunlight with his hand and said, "Why...... Because I'm a mercenary. ”

Mercenaries live on tasks and make a living from tasks, and if this is a mission in the first place, then all this is a matter of course.

Mu Shiyu was silent.

"Let's go, it's only a short quiet for you, and then you're going to face a ferocious storm......"
