Palatine College, Oak Grove Tower.

Roland and Morgan stood on the top floor of the tower, one old and one young, two generations of powerful men of the Holy Empire standing side by side, staring into the distance.

Roland glanced at the cracked stone slab under his feet, "To cause such a movement, it must be the result of your shot, who is the opponent?"

"A funny little guy. Morgan said lightly.

"Not only fun, but also strong. Roland carefully looked at the distribution of the cracks, his brow furrowed slightly, "Is that the player named Morning Star?"

Morgan smiled, "Did you notice him too? What do you think of him? Let me hear your judgment." ”

"I couldn't see through him at first, and I can't see through him now. Roland said, "Through his battle with the Ice Wolf King, I think he is a powerful opportunist, good at forbearance and outburst, so he has made certain arrangements in advance. ”

Thinking of the battle that happened half a month ago, the blonde young man smiled bitterly, "But I didn't expect that his ability was still above my judgment, and he actually defused the siege of the three students so quickly, making the situation fall into extreme passivity." ”

The defeat of the red team at the last moment seems to be due to the fact that Blaze inspired the [Favor of the Titans] beyond everyone's imagination, crushing the red team's offensive with terrifying force.

But the real turning point was in the tens of seconds of Constantine's breakthrough.

In just a few tens of seconds, Constantine easily repelled the two high-ranking knights, completely disrupting the rhythm of the red side, which gave Blaze the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

waited for the rabbit, but what was waiting for it was a lion.

"I underestimated his quality and that was the biggest mistake I made in this fight. ”

Morgan shook his head, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, you don't know that Morning Star, if I had told you in advance what a terrible existence he is, so that you can be prepared, maybe this battle will usher in a different outcome, but you know, there is never a word in the dictionary of soldiers, the battle is unpredictable, we can't expect everything to be under control." ”

Roland listened quietly, and after hearing those words from Rommel on the hot sand field, he became curious about the identity of the Morning Star.

"You've probably heard of the battle that took place four years ago on the Carroline border. Morgan said.

How smart was Roland, he could capture enough information in just one sentence, "Could it be that he is the young hero who saved the village of Mises in Carroli's mouth?"

"Don't be mistaken for a messenger of justice, there is only such a thing in knightly novels in this world. ”

The old marshal said, "He's a very dangerous bounty hunter, and at a young age, he can occupy a whopping sixth ranking in an organization like the Hunters' Guild, you know, that little guy in Mordred is only about ten now." ”

"Not only can't you see through him, but even I don't know what his intentions are in participating in the martial arts conference. The old man looked out of the tower.

Mordred, Roland knew the name, and before he came to the Palatine Academy, the owner of the name had been the most prominent presence in the Palatine Academy.

After being chosen as Diana's servant knight, Mordred left the Palatine Academy and traveled all the way, no one knew where he went, and it was only to this day that Roland learned that this great senior had actually entered the Hunters' Guild.

"Meron wants you to win this martial arts tournament and compete with that Highness for the position of Templar Guardian in the future, what do you think?" Morgan asked casually.

It was a very serious question of position, but Roland answered very calmly, without the slightest hesitation or doubt, as if this answer had been deeply seared into his soul for a long time, "I will do my best to defeat her." ”

Morgan glanced at the junior deeply, saw the firmness revealed in his eyes, sighed, and after a long time, said: "I don't like Meron this person, but it is undeniable that he is a very discerning guy, without his cultivation back then, you would not have had the opportunity to enter the academy, so it is understandable that you are grateful to him, but there is a limit to everything, don't become his puppet because of this." ”

"The soldiers of our empire have a tacit tradition, that is, they never ask about politics. The weather-beaten old marshal sighed, "So in the future, no matter which side you are on, as long as you don't do anything that endangers the empire, I won't care." ”

......

The semi-finals have been decided, and the next step is to decide who will play on both sides of the match

After half a day of discussions, the semi-final schedule was finally set, and on the morning of August 2 and 3, Morning Star vs. Blaze, and Rommel vs. Roland respectively.

After learning of this arrangement, the three people in the hotel were stunned.

Angela looked at the two beside her with strange eyes, "You two, do you want to go out and fight now?"

Blaze scratched his head.

Constantine said lightly, "Please be merciful to the head of the regiment." ”

"Haha, I'm not going to release water. Blaze said heroically, "You too, Morningstar, you must show all your strength when the time comes, otherwise I will win a lot of shame, hehehe......"

Angela snorted, "As if you have the chance to win, with your swordsmanship, I bet Morningstar can handle you with one hand." ”

"In the face of true power, skill is meaningless. Blaze rolled up his sleeves, revealing bulging muscles, "We savages, never afraid of any opponent, don't forget, how those three Paladin boys were beaten down by me." ”

Angela was speechless, indeed, Blaze, with his barbarian blood, could be feared by most swordsmen with his strength alone.

And after activating the terrifying ability of [Titan Favor], it is not an exaggeration to describe the mercenary leader as a war beast.

Angela couldn't imagine any way Morningstar could restrain Blaze.

"Morningstar, for the sake of you helping us win the team battle, let me tell you the only way in this world to defeat Uncle Ben. Blaze raised a finger and said mysteriously. "Listen to me. ”

Angela shrugged her shoulders, thinking to herself that this battle maniac was really boring, but looking at Blaze's serious appearance, it didn't seem like a joke, and she couldn't help but wonder.

"Our Barbarian's [Titan Blessing] can amplify its own abilities in all directions, and you have also seen the effect of this ability, once triggered, unless the opponent has an overwhelming absolute power advantage, otherwise..."Blaze showed a smug smile, "I am invincible." ”

"However, this ability has one of its greatest weaknesses, and that is that it is time-limited, and once this time limit is exceeded, our barbarian bodies fall into a state of weakness. ”

Angela was skeptical, "In other words, as long as you delay until the end of the time limit, this ability will be self-defeating, right?"

"That's right. Blaze nodded firmly.

Angela laughed heartily, "Fool, aren't you afraid to say this weakness in front of Morning Star...", suddenly, she caught the mercenary leader's cunning expression and realized that something was wrong, "Wait, how long is this time limit you are talking about?"

"It's not long, it's just an hour. Brezpi didn't smile.

Angela almost didn't spit a mouthful of saliva in Blaze's face, "Damn, what's the difference between this and no weakness? In a one-on-one situation, who might be able to support you for an hour under this perverted hand? Morning Star, I don't think you need to go up to the game the day after tomorrow, let's just beat him to death here." "Anyway, I was about to pounce.

Blaze gloated and leaned back as he waved his hand, "I'm not lying, as long as he can sustain me for an hour after I activate my bloodline ability, I'll throw in the towel, as for whether Morningstar can do it or not, that's his business." ”

Constantine said lightly: "I'll do my best, for the sake of you saying your weakness, I'll also tell you the way to defeat me, as long as you touch me, I'll admit defeat." ”

Blaze laughed, "Interesting, good." ”

The atmosphere at the moment is really a little weird, and the two who will soon become opponents are actually talking and laughing in the same room at the moment, exchanging ways to defeat each other.

However, the tension around the game seems to have vanished without a trace.

Constantine smiled, looked down at the novel spread out in his left hand, and held a sky-blue crystal pendant in his right hand.
