Chapter Ninety-Five: The Arena
In the courtyard, the conversation under the big tree continued, mostly the girl, and the black cat in her arms only occasionally raised its head to look at her, and let out an incomprehensible meow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info, however, the girl still looked very interested in it, as if such an exchange was something she would cherish so much.
More than ten meters away from the girl, among the flowers where the black cat appeared before, a strange eyeball that was so transparent that it could almost be seen that only a shallow outline could be seen was hiding in a dark place inside, and it silently paid attention to everything that happened in the yard, and was not noticed by anyone.
It's just that, unlike a certain doppelganger ability, this means of long-distance perception is not yet mature, and its function is not complete, which makes Xia, as the caster of the weird eyeball, unable to know other information such as sound in addition to the scene she can see, which makes her feel like she is watching a mime.
Because of this, she became very interested in the conversation between the girl and the cat.
"Leia Gouradley, ...... with that person What the hell are they talking about?"
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Bu, who was standing in the shadow corner, couldn't help frowning, his heart was constantly teased by this unknown, and he was a little inexplicably curious.
In the original world, she had mastered the skill of lip reading through training, but because the pronunciation of the languages in the two worlds was not the same, now she can only be regarded as proficient in this language, and there is no difficulty in normal conversation, but she does not know enough about the detailed connection between pronunciation and mouth shape. Therefore, she could only vaguely recognize a few words from the girl's mouth, bits and pieces, but she could not reduce them to complete sentences.
What's more, the other party who is talking to the girl is still a cat?
Do cats speak cats......
Well, please forgive me, she really doesn't understand!
At the very least, she couldn't make out any information from the cat's mouth that would help complete the conversation.
"Hey, if only the technique of this technique could be perfected......"
She whispered to herself, a little pity in her tone. Because, the consumption of bloodline power is far smaller than that of the much smaller Scouting Eyeball, and its ability to collect sounds has indeed not been studied by itself, and she will probably not be able to achieve the corresponding gains from her long-term tracking journey.
Detective Eye One!
Well, that's how this ability is named for the time being.
She made such a decision in her heart, and nodded secretly: If the ability is further improved, it will be the Eye of Scouting 2.0 version, that is, the Eye of Scouting No. 2.
And at this moment, the picture she perceived suddenly changed, like a screen that had been disconnected from the power supply, and it went black in an instant, making her instantly lose the sense of the strange eyeball.
On the other side of the yard, however, the transparent eyeball, which hid in the flowers, like a fragile foam pricked by a needle, popped to the ground, silently shattered, and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
"Hmm...... Is the time up?"
Xia didn't have a surprised expression, she opened her eyes, and a certain index finger pressed on the pulse of her wrist was also released, from the calculation of the number of heartbeats, she knew that the duration of the eyeball this time was about six minutes, compared to her last attempt, this has been extended by more than ten seconds, which is a good progress.
"However, there is still a lot of upside. ”
She glanced up in the direction of the City Lord's Castle, and said silently in her heart, but it was all kinds of assumptions and ideas about how to strengthen and perfect this method of exploration.
As for the black cat, Leia Gouradelli... And the girl who lived in the city lord's mansion......
The Hand of the Witch and the Lord of Villidi City...... What is the relationship between the two?
She speculated wildly in her mind, but finally shook her head and decided not to explore for the time being. She raised her right hand, pulled her hood down, and gathered the Mist Cloak on her body before turning and walking into the shadows.
Actually, that's the direction she came in.
You must know that she came out this time not for the secret of a certain black cat, but for a certain arena located on Baileda Street in Beicheng District! Compared with the relationship between a certain magic kitten and an unknown girl in the city lord's mansion, she cares more about the secret of the 'war spirit' that is closely related to herself.
After all, it's about the initiative of her and a certain little fox in the deal, and its importance is self-evident.
......
This time, there were no surprises that distracted her again, and she came to the northern part of Vilidi City, and she understood why the old butler said that when she reached Baileda Street, it was easy to see where the arena was. Because, such a huge building, its presence is really hard to ignore!
The arena of Villid's City, the full name is Bired Arena, this is a huge circular building, it is not too high, it is not enough than one-third of the magic tower of the Witch's Hand Branch, which is claimed to be one of the tallest buildings in the entire Vilidi City, but its area is much larger than the former, and its appearance reminds Xia of the giant stadium in the original world, or a famous Colosseum, The opera house, however, is full of architectural styles belonging to this magical world on the outside, and it looks a little heavy as a whole, like a terrifying beast lying down. But at the same time, it has its own unique and charming lines, which looks wild and heroic, which makes people look at it and feel a strong desire in the heart, yes, it is a strong mixture of blood and violence, glory and victory.
Perhaps it should be said that it is the romance of men?
"Tsk......"
Standing nearby, Xia Dan pulled the corner of the hood with her hand, looked up at the lying beast, she took a deep breath, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned: "It smells... It tastes good!"
Her actions did not attract the attention of others, because the shocked expression on the faces of those who came to the city for the first time and saw the arena for the first time did not surprise those who knew the place well, and even made them smile and exchange a look of deep meaning that only they could understand.
It's just that the true meaning of a certain cloaked girl is completely different from the feelings of ordinary tourists, which they can't know.
"Hey, are you here to sign up for this year's competition?"
A voice not far away caught Natsu's attention, and she turned her gaze to see two people dressed as mercenaries talking.
"Yes, of course! I also participated in the competitive tournament last year, but I met the fourth place in the qualifying round and lost all of ......
"Oh, that's unlucky!"
"Hmph, this time, I'm definitely not so unlucky!Wait, my strength is much stronger now than last year, and I will definitely be able to enter the main arena where only the strong are qualified to compete!"
"Haha, I don't think so...... Because, this time I'm here too!"
"Boy, do you want to fight me right now?"
"Come, come, come, fight, fight, who's afraid of whom?"
“......”
Xia watched speechlessly as the two guys over there changed from like-mindedness at the beginning to a farce that provoked each other and almost fought in the end, and couldn't help but shake his head and didn't pay attention to it anymore.
She turned her head to look at the long line of teams that were going to sign up for this competitive competition, but she was a little surprised at the popularity of this competition, you know, there are still more than ten days before the competitive competition that a little guy said, and it can start signing up so long in advance, and there are still a large number of people who are enthusiastic and scrambling to rush over, and even intensify, presumably it is indeed as Abu Little Ghost said, it seems to be very famous!
Perhaps, maybe you can see a pretty powerful guy?
She cupped her chin with her right hand and thought with some interest, but instead of looking in the direction of the tournament registration area, she turned around and walked towards one of the many entrances to the arena.
Compared to the registration area, there are no long queues at the entrance gate, and although it is a little crowded, the situation is much better.
Yes, she wasn't ready to join in the excitement and sign up for this competitive competition.
As for the reason, it's actually quite simple, it's one of her principles.
Because, she's a killer.
For a killer, it is very irrational to show his strength or fighting methods in public, and even make everyone known.
Although she is no longer in the original world, and she no longer makes a living as a killer, if she doesn't want to be studied and cracked by people with ulterior motives one day, it is a more conducive choice for her survival. After all, she has seen so many people and things in this magical world for so long, but she knows that the bloodline power she has is actually a little special!
Compared to those sharpshooters, axemen, swordsmen, or spearmen, she always felt that her bloodline power was much more complex and more powerful.
Perhaps, the only thing that can compare to her is the magicians... No, to be more precise, it's the magical ability of a little girl who is said to have a dark attribute physique!
She didn't know much about other magicians, but her intuition told her that a certain little fox that she was familiar with or thought she was familiar with, that girl was no less than she was hiding behind her back!
That's definitely a black-bellied magical girl, well, quite cunning and unfathomably hidden!
Thinking about what she had seen and heard around a certain little fox, she felt that she had definitely not underestimated that terrible creature.
War Spirit ...... What the hell is it, and will it really work for her?
It really... Can you be mastered by a weird puppet physique like yourself......? Does it have a boosting effect on its own strength?
Not...... I'm afraid I won't know until I try it!
Natsu's eyes flickered slightly, and after a short wait, she paid a modest entrance fee and stepped through the door of the famous arena.
After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and she still believes in this famous saying.
I hope that I can find the answers to these questions in this arena......
