Chapter 549: Scuffle
"He has sent so many messages to Zhao Yulong over the years, but he hasn't replied, is he in retreat? It's just that it's the winter solstice, and it's only half a year before the Thermidor next year, if the Celestial Clan doesn't take precautions, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!" As he spoke, Jing Rui injected the breath talisman in his hand with soul power and spread the news.
It just so happened that there was a knock on the door at this time, and for this reason, Jingrui had to quickly withdraw the transmission charm and go to open the door. But she didn't want Natalie to open the door one step ahead of Jingrui and welcome Gabriel in.
This was a surprise to him, it is said that since Jingrui lived in the princess's mansion as a mentor, Natalie would not get up until noon, and ordinary Jingrui did not dare to come forward to disturb even if he passed by the door of his room.
After all, as a princess, although her temper has changed, it has not improved at all in terms of getting up, but has worsened a lot.
And now it's only early in the morning, and Natalie should have slept half dead in the past, but she didn't want to get up so early today.
Just when Jing Rui was puzzled, he saw that there was another person after Gabriel, and this person was the Emperor of Heaven. Only then did he understand that Natalie was still afraid of being scolded by his father, so she took the initiative to come forward and behave.
It's just that the doubts in my heart have deepened a lot now, if Gabriel arrives, it can be understood, after all, I have been more or less close to him these days, and it is normal to walk around.
But the Emperor of Heaven is the ruler who manages the entire Protoss, and it is difficult to get out just by dealing with the affairs of the Protoss, so how can he have the spare time to come to the Princess's Mansion? Especially since Fang Cai Jingrui also sent the news to Zhao Yulong with a transmission talisman, and now that he has come here in a few moments, there must be a problem.
After all, according to Natalie, unless she gets into trouble, she won't see the Emperor once in a hundred years. So many times the reason why she got into trouble was not because of indulgence, but just to be able to see the Emperor of Heaven once.
And because of Jingrui watching over the years, she has long stopped getting into trouble, and the Emperor of Heaven will not put down his affairs and come to see him, at least he doesn't think that the Emperor of Heaven will suddenly feel that family affection is more important.
So, there must be something wrong with this. In this way, Jingrui's heart couldn't help but be a lot more vigilant.
Sure enough, just as Jing Rui guessed, the Emperor of Heaven did not come to visit Natalie this time, so as soon as he entered the door, he asked Natalie, "Where is Jing now?"
Natalie thought that the Emperor of Heaven came to see her this time, but she didn't expect that the first sentence she said was to ask Jingrui, and she felt a little uncomfortable. However, because of a few years of getting along, Natalie's attitude towards Jingrui is much better.
Therefore, although he is uncomfortable now, he does not hate Jingrui because of this: "He is in that room, and he gets up early every day to practice marksmanship." Many times I slept soundly when I was woken up by his fighting skills. This morning too, I think he's resting now!"
Emperor of Heaven: "It's good if he gets up, we just have something to look for him." ”
After saying that, he walked with Gabriel to Jingrui's room. At this time, Jingrui had already prepared the tea and put it on the table: "I heard a knock on the door just now, and I was about to go out, but I didn't expect His Majesty and seniors to come in." ”
"It's okay, I'm a person who doesn't like cumbersome etiquette. But your tea is really good, most of us in the West are coffee, and we rarely see this kind of tea, but there are a lot of them in the East, and when my army reaches the East, I must let them bring back a few more truckloads of tea, so that I can drink enough!"
Jingrui: "I still have some tea here, if Your Majesty likes it, you can take it back and brew it." ”
Emperor of Heaven: "No need! I came here because I had something serious to do with you." Gabriel told me the other day that you wanted to join the Twelve Constellations, and I was surprised. You don't have a long lifespan for a human race, why do you still want to become the Twelve Gods? You know, that means going to the battlefield to die!"
Jing Rui: "Maybe Your Majesty doesn't understand, but it is precisely because of my short life that I care more about whether my life is worthwhile." Anyway, I'm going to die after all, and these hundreds of years are just a snap of a finger for Your Majesty. If I had lived these hundreds of years like this, maybe within a few decades after I died, everyone would have forgotten me. I am not afraid of death, but I also hope for eternity. Since longevity cannot be attained, it is better to let me be eternal in the history books, so that at least someone can remember it after death. That's why I want to join the Twelve Divine Thrones and expand the territory for the Protoss! So that at least many people will remember me after I die. ”
After hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven hurriedly clapped his hands: "Good! Very good! The eldest husband should be determined to fight the world for himself." Speaking of which, I thought the same as you back then, thinking that even dying on the battlefield is ten thousand times better than dying in such an ordinary way!
But when he said this, his face suddenly became serious again: "But support is only support after all, but it doesn't mean that I can let you enter the Twelve Divine Thrones." Although I have this right, I also have to think about the whole world. After all, not everyone can sit in the position of the Twelve Divine Constellations, and the prerequisite for becoming the Twelve Divine Constellations is that you must have this strength. ”
Jingrui: "How can I not know Your Majesty's hardships, since Your Majesty feels embarrassed." I don't think it's better to have a fair competition like this, so that the entire Protoss can challenge the strong people who want to become the twelve gods. In the end, the winner chooses a candidate for the Twelve Divine Thrones, and if he wins, he becomes the Twelve Divine Thrones. I wonder what my mind is, Your Majesty?"
The Heavenly Emperor pondered for a moment, and then exchanged words with Gabriel before he made up his mind: "Yes, in this way, we can select the real powerhouse." But are you sure you have what it takes to be the Twelve Gods?"
Jing Rui: "I don't dare to say whether I can be a person, after all, there are countless strong people in the world, and I am nothing." But as long as I am given a chance, I will fight for it with all my might, even if it is doomed, I will never admit defeat!"
Emperor of Heaven: "Okay! Very good! Then you prepare, I will let the fallen angels pass the news when I go back today, and in a month, the election of the twelve gods will begin." ”
After saying that, he left the princess's mansion with Gabriel as he left the last bit of tea in his cup.
After the two left, Natalie sat down next to Jingrui and asked, "Do you really want to participate in that kind of competition?"
Jing Rui: "Of course! This is my only chance to become the Twelve Divine Constellations, and I can't give it up." ”
Natalie: "But now you're able to enjoy all the benefits of the Twelve Gods, and that position is just a name, so what's there to fight for." Not to mention how many injuries you will suffer during the competition, even if you succeed, when you get to the battlefield, you will really gamble with your life, and if you lose, it will really be gone, have you ever thought about this?"
Jing Rui: "How could I not have thought of it? This is my life, I long to go to the battlefield filled with gunpowder and even more eager for the bloody battle, maybe you can't understand me, but I am very sober, this is all I pursue!"
After saying these words according to his memory, he learned to walk out of the door and look at the sky when Zhao Yulong said this. Although he didn't believe the words himself, at least Natalie did.
Therefore, from the moment Jing Rui walked out of the door, for some reason there was a sting in her heart, and then she ran forward and hugged Jing Rui from behind: "But have you ever thought about my life?"
Jingrui: "Princess, your life is very good, why did you say this?"
Natalie: "No, my life is not good! I thought my life would be good, but I met you. You are something that I can't live without in my life, you can not think about yourself, but you can't help but think about me. What would I do without you?"
Hearing this, Jing Rui was shocked. He originally thought that Natalie and him were just ordinary friends, but now she has true feelings. But it seems that he did not do anything other than his responsibility.
Thinking about it, I have to blame it on the butterfly ring. "It's all Hu Yun, adding so many magic potions to it, it really hurts me!"
But Natalie still had to deal with it, so he gently removed her hand, turned to her, and said, "Princess, I am only a mortal, and you are a god." Not to mention the gap between the bloodlines, just the distance above Shouyuan, I am so much worse than you. Do you think that if you marry me, doesn't it mean that you will be left alone and widowed for thousands of years?"
Natalie: "So what, if you're dead, I'll be with you!"
"This ......" Jing Rui is not Zhao Yulong, and naturally he does not have the kind of resistance in his heart to women, so when he heard Natalie say this, Jing Rui was somewhat unable to control it.
After all, after all these years of contact, Jing Rui still knows a little about her. Although he occasionally plays a little temper, he is still a good person, and he is the type that Jingrui likes.
If it weren't for his special status at the moment, and he was still engaged to marry on the Celestial Clan's side, he really wanted to marry her.
But now, he only has the idea of getting out, if he continues to be entangled like this, he is afraid that he really can't control it, and then he will be really in trouble.
Fortunately, he was not stupid, and after a moment of silence, he finally found a reason: "That, princess, there is still a month to compete, I think I should go to Gabriel's predecessor to learn a few more tricks first, in case of emergency!"
After saying that, he ran away, leaving Natalie so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot: "Okay! You dare to run! Don't come back if you run away!"
A month is indeed not a long time, but it is very long for Jingrui. Because almost every day he came back from Gabriel, he would be questioned by Natalie with the same question.
And each time, he had to find a different reason to prevaricate, so much so that several times when he saw Natalie guarding the door, he wanted to go through the back door.
But fortunately, this month has finally passed, and at least after becoming the Twelve Gods, you can go to the battlefield and no longer have to entangle with Natalie.
And the efficiency of this god clan is indeed quite fast, even if there is a big event in the Celestial Clan, it will take at least a year or two to notify all the god kings. And in the Protoss, in just one month, all the powerhouses in the territory came to the imperial capital.
Of course, this is also related to the teleportation tools of the Protoss. Because Jing Rui has heard the word portal more than once, it is said that this kind of thing can teleport to another place in an instant without consuming too much soul power, which is hundreds of times stronger than the teleportation array.
Although Jing Rui didn't know who did this portal, there was no doubt that he could be sure that someone in this secret must have developed some novel weapons specifically for the Protoss.
Therefore, thinking of this, Jing Rui was even more worried about the Heavenly Clan. Although the goblins were not bad at technology, at least when he left the Celestials, he had not heard of anything as convenient as a portal.
But the most important thing now is to become the Twelve Divine Thrones, and only after becoming the Twelve Divine Thrones can he learn as much as he can about these things.
Now that all the contestants have arrived, Jing Rui counted and found that there were thousands of people. I can't help but sigh, if this is based on the duel method of the Celestial Clan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to choose the final winner in a year.
After all, two people are a game, and in the case of equal strength, maybe a few days of fighting will not have a result. And it will take 500 days for thousands of people to say less, this is still the first round, if there are only two people left in the end, I am afraid it will be a long time.
And the plan set by the Protoss was to attack the Celestial Clan in a year, and they would definitely not be willing to spend time on such a duel.
Therefore, for the election method of this competition, Jing Rui is really curious about what tricks the Emperor will use.
I saw that the Emperor of Heaven took all the thousands of people to an open space, and then set up a magic circle to trap everyone in it: "This is the place where you fight, this competition, there is no restriction on methods, weapons, and alliances, in short, as long as you don't kill people, you can play freely." Later I will say start, and you can do it, and the one who fights to the end will be the winner. ”
Who knew that as soon as the Emperor of Heaven finished speaking, someone in the circle protested: "But this is not fair, if my strength is the strongest, but I am targeted by them and attack together, then I will not lose?"
"Yes! It's so unfair! Maybe we fight with all our might, but some people will take advantage of the fisherman!"
But the Emperor of Heaven didn't care about it: "Fair? War is never fair, your enemies won't ask you if you're ready, if you need to rest, they'll just find the right time to kill you!"
"But now it's a selection, not a battlefield!"
Heavenly Emperor: "But what I want to select is someone who can go to the battlefield, not a reckless man who only has strength!"
At one point, naturally no one in the formation said anything more. After all, they also know in their hearts that there are not so many rules on the battlefield, and as long as they can survive, they have the right to speak.
Therefore, even if many people are not convinced, they have to accept it, because what the Emperor of Heaven said is right, those who are selected from here are those who are going to go to the battlefield.
And on the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether it is strong or not, fair or not. Just look at victory or defeat.
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, the Heavenly Emperor was also direct: "Very good! Since you all have no doubts, let's start now!"
The words were like an order, and it was only half a breath before many strong people scuffled together. Of course, there are also many "smart" people who want to reap the benefits and run in the opposite direction.
Of course, there are more of them who are constantly looking for people to form alliances. After all, there is a huge disparity in strength among these thousand people, and some weak ones are destined to be eliminated directly.
And in order to change the situation, they had to band together to form a team that was not strong. While most of the people in the team are not trustworthy, it's better than nothing.
And those who are strong and see the weak forming one team after another, they naturally feel threatened, and constantly form a team with people who are slightly familiar.
And so it went on that after a few hours, almost all of them had their own team. The original melee of 1,000 people instantly turned into a team battle between hundreds of small teams, which made it much more efficient.
And there will inevitably be some little people in the team who have knives in the back, but the results of these little people are not good, and the next moment they almost lose the team, they will be besieged by other teams.
In the end, the original hundreds of small teams, after fighting and merging, finally turned into several large teams composed of dozens of people, and Jingrui was mixed in one of the teams.
However, he didn't contribute before and after, but kept mixing in the major teams to avoid fighting. Although many people noticed him during this period, not many people cared about him because he was the lowest in the entire battlefield.
Occasionally, someone tries to pinch a soft persimmon and leave the team, but is quickly surrounded by other teams.
It's been a few more hours, and now there are not many people left in the field who still have the ability to fight, and those teams that were originally united have also collapsed and are fighting on their own.
As a result, Jingrui also lost his asylum. Coupled with the fact that his realm was the lowest, he became the target of all, but he did not feel intimidated by this, but smiled at them.
Then a move that couldn't be caught off guard by the Ten Thousand Guns Blood Realm actually made everyone in the field lose their ability to fight, but he was still full of vitality: "Your Majesty, I can be regarded as a success in this way!"
Emperor of Heaven: "Yes! You are very smart, you know that you can use the relationship of all parties to hide in the end, and you do have the mind to go to the battlefield." But you said before that when you are selected, you will also challenge the candidates of the Twelve Divine Constellations, so when are you going to challenge?"
Jing Rui: "Right now! I just finished warming up, and I just happened to have a fight with someone." ”
Heavenly Emperor: "You kid is really a monster, everyone else wants to rest as much as possible, but you want to start fighting immediately." I'll tell you! The candidates for the Twelve Divine Thrones are not simple, the realm is at least the tenth level of the King Soul Realm, so you are so sure that you can defeat them?"
Jing Rui: "I don't know if I'm sure to fight, anyway, I won't suffer a loss if I can fight with the strong, and even if I lose, no one will laugh at me." ”
Emperor of Heaven: "Okay then, who do you want to challenge?" The candidates for these twelve divine seats are ...... in order of strength."
Jing Rui didn't hesitate much after hearing this, but said casually: "Then choose the strongest lion god seat! I want to see if my tiger is powerful, or the lion is powerful." ”
