Chapter Forty-Seven: The Battlefield of Flames
After spending a few more days in the City of Ten Thousand Fires, the seven of them had almost finished turning all the places in the city. After turning the whole city, the seven had the idea of leaving.
Now, in the martial arts arena in the city, Hua Xi and Xue Ji are competing, and the others are watching from the sidelines. As soon as the contest was over, the seven of them were about to pack up and leave.
The competition between Hua Xi and Xue Ji is not uncommon now, and everyone who often comes here basically knows that there are such two people. These two people have appeared here very frequently these days, so they have naturally been noticed.
Although there have been quite a lot of battles, every time the competition has to win the applause of everyone. The battle between Hua Xi and Xue Ji is wonderful in the eyes of mortals, and there are many subtleties in the eyes of monks.
In short, the two of them played well, and the others watched and learned well. As for whether you can learn it or not, it depends on the individual.
For those viewers, in addition to these, they are more concerned about one thing: this time, who of these two will win half the way?
Hua Xi and Xue Ji have competed many times, so naturally it is impossible for them to be all draws. When the winner was decided for the first time, Hua Xi lost, but he was not convinced, and the two competed again, and Xue Ji lost.
Xue Ji lost, she naturally didn't accept it, this back and forth, the two of them won and lost each other, and others also knew that the strength of these two people was equal. For their victory or defeat, they do not say "one move", but "half a move". Because whoever loses the day before will be broken back the next day, and the gap of one move seems to be a bit big for them.
There is a casino near the tournament ground, which was opened by the owner of the tournament himself, and there are various gambling games in it, and naturally there are also gambling games about the two.
The game is played in three situations, two of which are won by one side and one is drawn. Unlike other games, all odds are 2 to 1. In addition, today every bet is about the same.
In fact, if you think about it a little, you will know that the casino can transfer a copy no matter what. But gamblers don't care about this, they think that if they win, they will win a share of the money.
The battle between Hua Xi and Xue Ji ended soon after, and the result was a draw. This time, both sides played very well, there were not many mistakes, and the mistakes that occurred were remedied in time.
As you can see, they did their best. Even if they don't talk about anything else, after stepping down, the two of them are so weak that they can't even fight, which can already show that they tried their best.
It was noon at the end of the competition, and considering the recovery of the two, everyone decided to leave tomorrow morning, and returned to the Yinghuo Inn to rest first.
After arranging the two, Wang Ling took care of Xue Ji, and Feng Yan took care of Hua Xi. They also made a special medicinal soup for the two of them, for fear that the two of them would be left with the root of their illness.
The two knew that this was something very important, so even though they couldn't accept the taste, they still drank it.
Moonglass, Moon Shadow, and Nightink found a table in the inn lobby and ordered a little bit of food. They ate slowly, but they looked around and listened from time to time.
This is collecting all kinds of "gossip", the main force is Yueli and Yemo, one is originally interested, the other is forced by life, the two have different methods of intelligence collection, but it is difficult to distinguish between high and low in intelligence collection.
Moon Shadow is here to learn. Yueli felt that Moon Shadow had already started to take the assassin route, so she had to learn to gather information, especially under normal conditions.
When Moon Shadow is almost complete, she plans to leave this to Moon Shadow while she concentrates on trading and researching the team's equipment.
To this end, she specifically recruited Night Ink to teach Moon Shadow how to succeed as an assassin, and now mainly teaches intelligence gathering.
Yueli also understands that Yemo has been crawling and rolling for so many years, and some methods must not see the light of day, so she specially told Yemo not to teach those methods that have gone too far for the time being.
Yemo also understood this, but he didn't even think to teach that. Not to mention anything else, looking at Moon Shadow's innocent face, I feel guilty about teaching a little bit of a method.
In fact, there is no need for this method to collect intelligence in the Savage Ancient Land, and you can basically have everything if you ask directly. So this was just training, but I didn't expect to really get important information.
"Eh, did you hear that there was a sudden fire on the other side of the Flame Battlefield......
"Aren't you kidding...... Who doesn't know that the Flame Battlefield has a name because it has been burning with flames all year round, and what is the matter with a sudden fire, isn't it always on fire?"
"Eh, look at my brain, I was confused for a while, and I said the wrong thing...... It wasn't on fire, but suddenly the flame was vigorous, but in a quarter of an hour or so, the fire suddenly went out!"
"How is it possible, that's Suzaku-sama's divine fire, how can it be extinguished?"
"Strange or strange, the fire suddenly burned again after it was extinguished. But this flame...... It's not as exuberant as it used to be, and the temperature feels a lot lower. ”
"It's all cold...... No, how do you know it's low, you've been there?"
"Brother, are you kidding...... How dare we go to that place, if we go, we won't be able to do it directly! This is what I heard from a half-orc brother. ”
"Oh...... That's right...... That's not right, is that...... He knows that the temperature of the flames of the Flame Battlefield has changed?"
"Huh, yes...... How does he know?"
At this time, as if they had realized something, the two of them said in unison:
"The Flame Battlefield has begun!"
And then they were like suddenly deflated.
"Hey, what do you say we're excited about, but we can't go anyway. ”
"Hey, too, after all, it's an ancient battlefield, a place that only monks can go!"
"Hey, I suddenly want to cultivate, so I can go and see it. ”
"Then you want to go...... Yesterday I said that I would never touch it if I was too tired to cultivate, but today I will change my hexagram, can you be firmer?"
"Anyway, it's just a mouthful of addiction, I can't cultivate my physique, and besides, it's so big, it's already too late. If you think about it, it's good to be an ordinary man for the rest of your life. ”
"Don't sigh about life here, don't you still have a life at home?"
"Can you not mention this terrible thing, I just had a busy day yesterday, and I really don't want to do it......"
"You can't leave it alone, can you?"
Next, there is some talk about farm work, which is of little value to Yueli and them.
"Look, Shadow, this information has been found so inadvertently. So, this first step is to find this kind of place where there are a lot of people, and their small talk often reveals a lot of information, do you understand?"
Moonglass took advantage of the situation to teach, and Moonshadow nodded.
"Second sister, I understand. ”
"Good, Shadow is so smart. ”
As she spoke, Moonglass touched Moonshadow's head.
At this time, Yemo looked at Yueli.
"You want to do it too...... Impossible. ”
"Ahem......"
Yemo, who wanted to speak, was directly choked by this sentence, and he was not a child!!
"I wanted to ask if you're interested in this flaming battlefield. ”
"Oh, let's gather the relevant information first, and then we'll talk about it later. ”
