I have to say that naming is an art, and so is the codename.

What kind of code name can perfectly show its own temperament and be enough to deter challengers is a question worth studying for Siegfried, who is a descendant of epic heroes.

So Siegfried Nibelungen held his chin in a rare way and put on a serious thinking expression.

However, Roland was already prepared for this question.

After some careful consideration, the paladin gently stroked the hilt of the sword on his waist and said calmly: "My power comes from the Holy Light, and I am a servant knight of the Elliottard family, and I have sworn allegiance to Constantine Elliottard for life, and my master is from Winterfell, so my code name is 'Winter Paladin'." ”

Roland gave himself this code name after much thought.

First of all, Roland believes that Constantine can definitely guess the location of his participation in the trial, and if Constantine comes to the sixth floating island in the future, he will definitely come to find his whereabouts as soon as possible, and the code name is the best clue.

With this codename, when Constantine came to the arena, he would be able to follow the map.

And deliberately telling Samantha Constantine's name is also the second-hand preparation arranged by Roland.

Unexpectedly, Siegfried glanced at Roland mockingly, and then put on an expression of hatred for iron but not steel, "Your brain has been brainwashed by the bullshit knight theory of the Church of Light and the Holy Empire, the powerhouse of the dignified Holy Domain, and actually gave himself this kind of mentally retarded code name with a sense of disobedience." ”

"Oh, what's your code name?" Roland wasn't angry either, quietly watching the other perform.

"Code names should be as domineering as possible, so that every challenger will be afraid and retreat when they hear it. ”

Siegfried's expression at this moment was as solemn as that of an orator in the center of a theater, "At the same time, it must also have the weight of an epic, showing my noble lineage and background." ”

"So, I've decided, my code name, the full name is 'Epic Last Demon Law, Shura Sword God, Panlong Warrior, Immortal, Supreme King, Invincible. Siegfried kept gesturing with both hands, and the stars flew in his mouth.

Roland: "......"

Hearing this long list of codes that are extremely full of middle and second atmosphere, and can be directly used as the cover of folk stall literature books by picking a small paragraph, the corners of Samantha's mouth twitched fiercely.

"I'm sorry, young trialist, there is a strict word limit on the number of characters in the code name of the integral crystal, and the number of code characters in your code is already seriously exceeded, and it seems too ...... Too ...... Have all one's goods in the window. Samantha took a deep breath and said,

With her extremely strong professionalism, she resisted the urge to spit out the word "idiot" and turned to the more euphemistic phrase "flashy".

"What the hell are you doing?" Siegfried shook his head dissatisfied, sighed and said, "You Doomsday Arena really don't have any humanistic feelings at all, it's really in vain to blind me with such an infectious codename, it's okay, I'll delete the second half and keep the first half, it's okay, right?"

Samantha continued to smile, but a bruise appeared on her forehead, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, your code name...... It still seems too long. ”

Roland shook his head secretly, expecting a person with a clear brain circuit like Siegfried to understand Samantha's good intentions, it would be more realistic to pray that the Abyss Demon would convert to the Lord of Radiance.

Siegfried didn't give up, and continued to chatter, "Then I'll change another one, it's called 'Daddy of the Winter Paladin', if someone has no opinion, I think this code name is not bad." ”

Roland silently pulled out the Holy Cross Sword beside him, and the Xue Liang Holy Sword released a murderous aura.

"Well, it looks like someone has an opinion. Siegfried shrugged, "I'll think about it a little more and change it to 'I'm from hell', it's all right, right?"

"I'm sorry, but according to the relevant laws, regulations and policies of the Doomsday Arena, this code name of yours will not be used. Samantha said coldly.

"Holy, this kind of operation?" Siegfei's eyes widened, "Which idiot's laws and policies are these?"

Samantha said righteously: "According to the "Naming Rules Manual" formulated by the first generation of sword wielders in the arena, the gatekeeper has the right to refuse to adopt all trial codes involving lust, violence, blood, terror, and cults, and revoke the code names. ”

Samantha said with a serious face: "The word 'hell' implies a hint of blood and violence, violates the naming regulations, and if you insist on adopting it, you will face the judgment of the Arena Law Enforcement Team, and in serious cases, it may even alarm Your Excellency the Sword Bearer." ”

Siegfried said angrily: "your sword-wielder, let's not talk about anything else, in terms of violence, the entire plane, where is there a more violent place than your broken arena that summons the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm to fight each other?

......

In the end, under Samantha's gritted teeth and constant veto, coupled with Roland's dry-mouthed persuasion....

Siegfried finally reluctantly changed the code name to a relatively normal "Dragon Slayer Warrior", and kept sighing that this code name was simply dirty and could not show his prestige.

Lest he regret it temporarily, Samantha immediately collected the crystal, quickly imprinted the code name into Siegfried's crystal with a special spell, and then threw it back.

"This two-story house is an allotted residence for you. Before leaving, Samantha angrily threw down the two keys. "Remember, in Doom Arena, your current activities are limited to the outer cities. ”

"When can we go to the inner city?" said Siegfried with a grin.

"When you have more than 1,000 points in your crystals, you will be able to enter the inner city. ”

Samantha said coldly, "Remember, only those who can enter the inner city can be called truly strong, and the battles in the outer city are not worth mentioning at all compared to the inner city, so you can do it yourself." ”

.........

Although Samantha's attitude is cold and arrogant, I have to say that the treatment given to trialists in the Doom Arena is really good.

When they opened the door, Siegfried and Roland were each struck by a living room and living room decorated with extremely luxurious and elegant decorations, comparable to the residences of the great nobles of the Middle Ages.

The marble floors are spotless, and the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling flicker in a soft light...

The long square table made of mahogany, the lifelike oil paintings, and the giant two-handed swords and round shields nailed to the walls all exude a thick and simple atmosphere.

In a glass cabinet in the corner of the living room, glasses and wine bottles are also displayed, and the shiny and ruddy liquid ripples in the wine bottles.

Seeing the wine, Siegfried was immediately overjoyed, without saying a word, walked to the cabinet, picked up the wine bottle, and without using a cup, he directly twisted the stopper and drank it.

Roland glanced at him, "You're not afraid of being poisonous?" Although we are now in the novice protection period, who knows if anyone will want to plot against us? ”

"There is no poison in this world that is effective against the descendants of the Divine Dragon Vein. Siegfried waved his hand nonchalantly, "If you want to kill a dragon veiner, poisoning is the stupidest thing to do. ”

After pouring a few sips of wine down his throat in a row, Siegfried threw himself on the sofa in the living room and said lazily: "Didn't I say that people must enjoy it when they should enjoy it? ”

"I'm pretty sure there's no poison in this wine, would you like a bottle?" Zieg shook the other bottle in his hand.

"No, according to the precepts of the Church, paladins are forbidden to drink for life. Roland glanced at Siegfried lightly, walked to a large oil painting in the living room, and examined the contents.

"It's boring!" Ziggy took a sip of wine in his mouth and lay down on his back.

Roland didn't bother to pay attention to the drunkard, but concentrated on studying the oil paintings on the wall, and Roland, who was born in an orthodox knight's academy and trained by the church, had an unusually strong interest in history and art.

The painting depicts a warrior with a giant sword on his back, standing among corpses and flames on the ground, looking up to the sky and roaring.

Not far in front of the warrior stood a black dragon that stood above the sky and the earth, and the dragon lowered its head and looked down indifferently at the brave man who charged at it, like looking at an insignificant ant.

The sky was dyed dark red with the flames of the burning earth.......

The artist's attainments are extremely good, whether it is the use of lines or the combination of paints, it is a masterpiece, skillfully creating a tragic, bleak, like an epic battle landscape.

Roland's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Siegfried, "I remember, you seemed to want to give yourself a code name just now, called 'I'm from hell', why do you want to use this strange code name? This title doesn't seem to fit your usual character." ”

"You can think I'm bored. ”

Siegfried yawned and absentmindedly played with the bottle in his hand. "I just wanted to tease that girl in black, that's all. ”

Roland stared at Siegfried solemnly, "Is that really the case?"

Siegfried rolled over, changed to a more comfortable position and lay on the sofa, with his back to Roland, and did not answer Roland's question, as if he was sleepy.

Seeing that Siegfried was silent, Roland sighed, and could only put this strange thought that suddenly appeared in his mind behind him, and continued to examine the oil painting on the wall.

After a while, Siegfried, who was cold and seemed to be asleep, suddenly turned over again, and said in a daze: "Have you ever seen the real hell? And the unimaginable sense of despair in hell?"

Roland was startled and turned his head sharply: "What are you talking about?"

However, Siegfried on the couch was already snoring like thunder......

By the time he woke up the next day, Siegfried seemed to have forgotten about it and returned to his previous state of being in good spirits.

Roland didn't mention yesterday's events either, and was calm and calm on the surface.

He was keenly aware that his casual words yesterday were very likely to have faintly touched the depths of Siegfried's heart, some dark memories that he did not want to recall.

Everyone has their own unspeakable past, and there is unspeakable sadness buried in their hearts.

Roland was like that, Constantine was like that, and Siegfried seemed to be an exception.

However, Roland now knew that this was true even for a warrior like Siegfried who seemed to be eternally hot-blooded and heroic.

"Let's go, let's go fight. Siegfried slammed the sword that had belonged to the Nibelungen on his back, kicked the door open, and walked eagerly towards the tall tower in the distance.

......

Half a year later, the Tower of Trials.

The Tower of Trials is home to a large number of gladiatorial arenas, each of which is a separate space covered with magical barriers to ensure that no matter how fierce the battle is, it will not affect the outside world.

A young strong man stood solemnly in a gladiatorial room, wearing a robe made of the skin of a giant beast, his exposed skin was bronzed, and his arms were painted with pale lines, and an aura of primitive savagery came to his face.

The door of the gladiatorial arena opened, and a young man with a huge sword on his face walked in, with a cynical expression on his face.

Seeing this young man, as well as the dark red magic giant sword in his hand, which is now very famous in the entire outer city, the beast-robed powerhouse's gaze became more intense, "You are the rumored 'Dragon Slayer Warrior', a trialist who has won a total of ninety-nine consecutive victories in half a year?"

What came out of his mouth was the lingua franca of the continent of Icadia, but the accent was strange.

"Exactly. Siegfried said lazily. "What plane are you from? ”

The beast-robed warrior said in a deep voice: "I am Gru from the Gulun Continent, my code name is [Ten Thousand Beast Warrior], the beast god is above, today, your winning streak will be ended by me." ”

Zieg Fei casually lifted [Balmunck], "Beast God, sorry, I haven't heard of it. ”

Gru took a step forward, "In that case, I will give you a lesson that you will never forget, so that you will always remember the power of the Beast God, the Dragon Slayer Warrior." ”
