Chapter 62 is famous

The Goddess Mercenary Group finally became famous, after all, winning consecutive victories in a best-of-three game and its pretending posture would be eye-catching no matter what, not to mention that the contestants here are elites from all over the continent. As a result, some people began to pay attention to this little-known little mercenary group.

............................................................................................................

"That's amazing, chick!" Ike said defiantly as he looked at himself surrounded by fire, and provoked the elven contestant who pulled up his magic bow and condensed the flame magic sword in the distance, "This kind of flame almost burned the hair on my tail black...... You don't need to be so ruthless, do you? Anyway...... How can a pretty girl like you play with fire in public?" Ike didn't seem to realize that he was in an embarrassing situation, but he was still provocative.

The fire-based spell elf named Ratty shook her head slightly, making her silky-looking fiery red hair look flowing in the flames of the arena.

"I've watched your game, and you're so fast, so fast that I can barely threaten you with a magic sword. As soon as Ratti's hand was released, the bow and arrow turned into fire magic immediately burst into Ike, the werewolf surrounded by the ring of fire. "Then, I'll have to deal with you with an area of effect damage that doesn't distinguish between the enemy and me!"

As soon as Latty's words fell, the magic arrow that shot at Ike exploded with a "boom" as it approached Ike.

"It looks very powerful, can Ike deal with this opponent?" Shangguan Ziyang's childish voice sounded in the rest area.

"Captain...... Alice stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan Ziyang's arms tightly, "Where have you gone?" Do you know how worried we are? Could you please ...... Don't play anymore and suddenly disappear?" Alice looked like she was almost going to cry.

"I'm sorry......" Shangguan Ziyang touched Alice's turquoise hair, "Don't worry, I'm not back again?"

"I don't think it's a big problem for Ike...... "said Patrick, the huge minotaur, "the only problem is how the opponent can keep Ike from getting close." As long as you can get close, the winner will be decided. Because in any case, the physique of the orcs is not covered!The elves are simply incomparable—hand-to-hand combat is almost no match for humans......"

"But it seems that Ike will have a hard time getting close to his opponent, after all, fire spells are the best at continuous range attacks of all the types. Unlike the Thunder element, it is also an area attack, and it can also have a paralyzing effect when hit...... But that's only explosive, as long as you dodge, you have a chance to counterattack, and the fire type is a continuous range attack. Amiri looked at Ike's situation on the stage and gave her opinion.

"No, don't rush to conclusions yet, let's look at the situation, I see that Ike was so confident when he came to power, there's no reason to be so embarrassed...... Speaking of the head of the group, you ...... Why did you go before?" Gu Xin asked Shangguan Ziyang in a disguised old voice.

"It's just some private matters, please don't care......" Shangguan Ziyang's calm tone paused, "I just want to confirm some things......"

"That'...... Have you got a result?" asked Gu Xin's disguised old voice slowly.

"There are results, but I'm really disappointed...... Speaking of you, how much do you know about your so-called 'divine language'?" Shangguan Ziyang asked Gu Xindao.

"'Divine Language'?" Gu Xin's disguised old voice was very puzzled, "Aren't you able to directly interpret the 'Divine Language', Captain, why do you still ask me?"

"I mean, how many people in the Great Qin Empire can decipher the so-called 'Divine Language'?" Shangguan Ziyang's tone was very serious.

"How many people know the 'Word of God'...... How to interpret the 'Word of God'...... "Gu Xin's voice repeated slowly, and then his body, which was covered by the wide cloak, slowly turned around, "Outside of the four great families that protect the country, of course, there are only 'gods'...... Or only those who are recognized by the 'gods' are qualified to study the advanced 'Divine Language' in depth...... Others, on the other hand, do not have that qualification, and at most can only learn ordinary 'divine language'. In other words, only the crown princes of the Great Qin Empire and the historians of the Shangguan family were qualified to learn advanced divine language—even the other princes and the heads of the Shangguan family, that is, those who inherited the title, were not qualified to learn advanced divine language...... The Shangguan Sheng you saw earlier, the kind of volley brush, is a kind of 'profound divine language'. ”

"In that case, there aren't many people who know the so-called 'Divine Language'?" Shangguan Ziyang asked, "And there's still a lot of practice to do?"

"Of course, there will not be many of them...... However, all civil servants must have a little understanding of the 'divine language', otherwise they will not be able to decipher the classified documents. The core clansmen of the four major families who protect the country basically know the 'language of God', which is said to be the 'inheritance of the ancestors'...... I don't know about this, but after all, the four great families were canonized from the time of the first generation of monarchs of the Great Qin Empire, that is, the 'God of War' of Great Qin, and they have been inherited until now, so it is not surprising that they can speak the 'Divine Language'. The princes of the empire know more or less different 'divine languages', and the crown prince must be proficient in 'divine languages', and he must study the advanced 'divine languages' in depth...... Not many people understand the others, and even if they do, they are only scratching the surface. Gu Xin's disguised old voice said slowly.

"Do you understand?" interjected Arath.

"I understand a little, I understand a little......" Gu Xin's tone was very modest, "After all, my teacher knows everything, so I will understand a little bit ......"

(It is said that from time to time, you can learn from Gu Xin's mouth that this teacher has a bull pen, I really don't know where this teacher is sacred?) Shangguan Ziyang thought in his heart.

"Cut-" Kenji on the side sighed when he saw Gu Xin's appearance, not knowing what it meant.

On the stage, Ike tried several times to break through to his close opponent Latty, but was always forced back by Latty's range fire spell, and almost burned out the bald lumps on his body.

"The little girl is quite hot, and she won't let my uncle and me get close?" I don't know why, how does Ike's words sound weird.

"Uncle, you look so unfriendly, how could I let you come!" Latty's words seemed strange.

"Hey, where do I look unfriendly? Don't you notice that I'm so handsome? Could it be that your aesthetic is biased towards that kind of ...... Don't you like men??" Ike pretended to be shocked, but he looked very underwhelmed, and it seemed that he had been damaged by Gu Xin.

"Hehe......" Ratty chuckled, "it doesn't matter to you what type I like...... You ask if you have been 'captured' by my beauty?"

"Maybe it's okay, why don't we have a deep conversation after the game?" Ike seems to have learned a lot of bad things from Gu Xin.

"Boom!" Fortunately, Ike reacted in time, because a pillar of fire surged under Ike's feet without warning, and if he hadn't dodged it in time, he would have almost set his big tail on fire.

"I'll go, it's so ruthless," Ike looked at the pillar of fire that skyrocketed, "and almost didn't kill me!"

"Why don't you just surrender and save time?" said Latty teasingly.

"Save time? Why? or we'll ...... then" Before Ike could finish speaking, a fire-based magic sword shot over, "Crooked, I won't show mercy if you're like this...... Even if you're a cute elf!" said Ike, dodging another fire-based magic arrow. But why does it always feel like what Ike said is getting more and more wrong?

Shangguan Ziyang turned his gaze to Gu Xin, who maintained a calm posture. But Gu Xin pretended not to see Shangguan Ziyang's gaze and remained silent.

"If you have the ability, then you can try it?" Ratty was still provocative while shooting magic arrows.

"Okay! As soon as Ike's words fell, his whole body "disappeared" directly on the stage.

"Do you think you can deal with me with speed alone?" Ratti confidently shook her thin transparent wings, and the whole person flew into the air, gesturing and chanting magic spells, and the whole person was surrounded by flames. "Get off the stage!" pressed the palms of both hands to the stage, and suddenly the flames that had surrounded Latty immediately rushed to the stage, completely covering the entire stage.

"It's such a big fire, it's just a step slower. Ike's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Ratti was startled, but before she could react to what to do, she felt a huge blow to the back of her head, and she didn't know anything for a moment.

But in the eyes of the rest of the audience, it was when Latty was releasing the fire magic that covered the entire stage just now, Ike didn't know when he "flashed" behind Ratty, and this was also the moment when Ratty just released the spell, and was smashed on the back of the head by Ike with both fists, and suddenly the whole person fell straight down like a kite with a broken string, and fell the stage that had just been scorched by his own flames.

"Wind Fighting Spirit? Unexpectedly...... There is also this usage...... I didn't expect such a low-level method to have such an unexpected effect at this time......" Gu Xin's disguised old voice said slowly, "It's really unexpected...... Or the elf was careless, and the effect was unexpected. ”

"What effect? What are you talking about, what the hell?" Shangguan Ziyang was very unhappy with Gu Xin's attitude of selling off the guanzi by only half of what he said.

"It's a way to distort the air and cause light to refract to achieve the effect of invisibility......," Kenji's cold and calm voice sounded slowly, "but this 'stealth technique' is too low-level compared to the formal stealth technique of light spells - even ordinary people can detect it when they get close." But this time, the elf on the other side thought that Ike had evaded her observation with speed, and tried to force him down with a fire spell, but unfortunately she didn't expect that this was just a low-level 'stealth technique', not a speed that was fast to the limit. ”

"The insider's words are really insider's. Gu Xin expressed his appreciation for this, "Orcs don't seem to have so developed limbs and simple minds, so they can use strategies @!"

"I think it's better for you to 'teach'!(Look at what Ike learned from you!!) Shangguan Ziyang's tone was very scathing.

"Speaking of which...... It seems that this is really the case!" Regarding Shangguan Ziyang's sarcasm, Gu Xin accepted it completely as appreciation.

Ike landed smoothly on the scorched stage, and looked at Latty, who was lying on the dark stage and fainting, and really fulfilled the sentence: I can't live by myself, and I make myself dirty.

"In the first game, the goddess mercenary group Ike won. The host announced the results of the game, and immediately several fiery red-haired elves flew in the direction of the rest place to check on the situation of Latty, who had fainted.

Ike took this result for granted, and after settling in a very forced posture again, he walked off the stage.

However, as soon as he stepped off the stage, the host said to the audience, "I just got the news, the Duke of Yan's Mansion said that it would give up the game, congratulations to the Goddess Mercenary Group for successfully qualifying!"

"Walter, I'm going to make a haircut??" Ike looked confused as he just stepped off the stage (eh, he won so easily??)

Everyone in the "......" Goddess Mercenary Group was speechless, because when the host announced the news, everyone obviously felt that the eyes of the audience were cast in their direction.

"I'm Cao, this goddess mercenary group is really strong, the Duke of Yan's Mansion actually took the initiative to admit defeat??"

"Anyway, I've never heard of this mercenary group before......"

"Yes, there is such a mercenary group, it seems that we need to understand it well. ”

"According to the old man's eyes, this goddess mercenary group is not a popular candidate for the dark horse of this single race. ”

“......”

“......”

“......”

"What do I think...... We seem to be famous all of a sudden?" Amiri said to herself, listening to the chatter of the people around her.

"If you want to get good results, it is almost inevitable to be famous, so it is difficult to keep a low profile...... I decided, starting with the next race, all of us going out and putting on our capes...... Patrick, don't nod your head, you can see it even if you're wrapped in a quilt. Gu Xin said to the whole member.

"No problem. Except for Shangguan Ziyang, who was wearing a cloak himself, and Ike, who had not yet arrived at the rest area, everyone else agreed.

"That'...... Let's go back......" Shangguan Ziyang said when he saw Ike return to the rest area.

"Like yesterday, you go back first, and I'll continue to observe here. Gu Xintou said in a disguised old voice without looking back.

"Understood, good luck then. Shangguan Ziyang beckoned the little white tiger to leave.

............................................................................................................

The Duke's Palace

"Click!" Shangguan Ziyang once again used one of the two crossbows that had accompanied him until now to shoot a crossbow arrow at the target two hundred meters away, and the crossbow arrow was firmly nailed to the edge of the target, almost missing the target, looking at the many crossbow arrows near the target, Shangguan Ziyang sighed - this was the only one of the arrow pods shot by Shangguan Ziyang that hit the target.

"The crossbow archer feel here is too far from the crossbow archer feel engraved with 'Great Qin Military Industry' at that time, right?" Shangguan Ziyang muttered to himself.

"It's your level that is too vegetable...... Alice on the side was full of contempt, and took the bow, and a magic arrow composed of green ** method was immediately formed on the magic bow. As soon as the hand was released, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and the magic arrow hit the target two hundred meters away.

"5 rings, fortunately, I didn't miss the target all the time like Lord Shangguan. Amiri, who was standing not far from the target, looked at Alice's target and said.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ziyang suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

"Anyway, the Duke of the Wind was called a guest by the Duke of Fire, causing the Duke of the Wind's students to no longer be able to practice with us...... Could it have something to do with my defeat of Duke Yan's students today?" Ike said as if he was looking at the two Loli who were practicing shooting at the shooting range.

"I think it's possible......" Shangguan Ziyang shot a crossbow arrow that missed the target again, and finally gave up the shooting feel of this kind of crossbow arrow with poor workmanship, and replied, "After all, although we only participated in the solo competition, according to common sense, Duke Yan should also know that our mercenary group is affiliated with the Duke of Wind, and has also obtained the privilege of directly entering the semi-final qualifiers...... Maybe your performance today did grab their attention. ”

"Speaking of which...... Kenji's performance is also very good...... It's just ......," Shangguan Ziyang turned his gaze to the side, observing Kenji, who was practicing with the half-orc Blue and Elas, brother and sister and Patrick the Minotaur, "there can only be one of the two of you in the end, or none of them will be left...... According to the schedule. ”

"I hope he can reach the finals and compete with him when the time comes...... You're one of the few people in the human race who feels powerful...... In addition to you, Lord Shangguan, who has mastered both magic and fighting spirit, and the deputy head of the regiment who has gained power with the help of tools, he is also one. Although Ike was speaking to Shangguan Ziyang, his voice was deliberately loud, and he deliberately said it to Kenji.

(etc....... When will I get vindictive? and...... Can magic...... That's really the so-called "other me", but then again...... Ike thinks so highly of me, what the hell, am I really that good? I don't even know...... Shangguan Ziyang was puzzled after listening to Ike's words.

"Oh, so confident?" Kenji's slightly hoarse but magnetic voice sounded slowly, "You don't have to worry about it...... Will you be able to make it to the finals?"

"The Sprinkle family is worried about you...... Don't capsize in some inconspicuous gutter at that time, it will be too much for the Sprinklers to look down on!" Werewolf Ike said contemptuously with his hands in front of his chest.

"I thank you for your auspicious words, but Your Excellency is really too worried. Kenji leaned against the pillar next to him and said unhurriedly.

Ike was about to say something when he saw an elf enter the range.

"Previously, there was a letter from the Shangguan family who sent an invitation to your mercenary group. The elf walked through the door to Ike, who was closest to the door, and handed the invitation to Ike.

Ike looked confused.

"Show me. Shangguan Ziyang took the invitation card from Ike's hand and looked at it a little, roughly meaning to invite the members of the mercenary group to the hotel reported by the Great Qin Empire for a banquet, and by the way, he said that he wanted to meet the leader of the mercenary group.

"Is it 'I really want to meet the leader of the mercenary group, and invite you to the banquet by the way'?" Shangguan Ziyang handed the invitation back to the elf after reading it, "If that believer is still there, please convey it, our mercenary group training tasks are very heavy, and we really don't have time to participate in this banquet." ”

"Okay. "The elf doesn't have any doubts, even though the entire mercenary group doesn't seem to be training. But in the spirit of professional ethics, the elf made the right move.

"What's the situation? Why did someone ask us to the banquet, and why did you refuse?" Ike asked, puzzled by Shangguan Ziyang's behavior.

"Actually...... There have always been doubts in the following...... Your Excellency...... Isn't it also from the Shangguan family?" Kenji's voice sounded slowly, "Why does it seem to be ...... Are you so unkind to the Shangguan family?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Ziyang's body.

"Speaking of which...... Indeed, there is a reason...... Now I keep my distance from the Shangguan family to prevent unnecessary harm. Shangguan Ziyang's tone was very calm, "I want to understand what kind of family this so-called Shangguan family is, and then I can confirm whether I will change my strategy towards it." If it really comes with that arrogance and prejudice...... Then what does it have to do with me?" Shangguan Ziyang's tone seemed to have changed a little, and it seemed to ...... With some strange emotional overtones, it seems to be ...... Angry?

"It sounds complicated, is there something unspeakable? Kenji didn't ask any more questions, but took a sip of wine from the flask around his waist, "Who doesn't have something unspeakable?" Lord Shangguan, you must relax your mind, and let the past go with him." ”

"If I could, I would like to. Shangguan Ziyang's tone gradually calmed down, "This is the reason why I have not been captured by the Gamma Empire, I have not been eaten by the beasts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and I have been alive so far." At this time, Shangguan Ziyang seemed to resurface, and the more than 200 black-clothed knights at that time were neatly pulling arrows on horseback, calmly shooting the cede knights in the air, and calmly facing the scene of death. And their deaths are all for themselves to survive.

"Then that's all for today's practice......" Amiri said to the Blue siblings and Patrick, and then turned to the absent-minded Shangguan Ziyang, "Lord Shangguan, why don't you take a good rest today and don't think about other things......"

"I didn't do much, but my chest was a little tight. That's all for today, adjournment. Shangguan Ziyang, as the head of the regiment, gave the order to dismiss the meeting, so everyone walked out of the shooting range one after another and went to the courtyard given by the Duke of the Wind.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Shangguan Ziyang was surprised for a while—Gu Xin, who was wearing a wide cloak, deliberately hunched over and pretending to have an old voice, was chatting and laughing with a young man in the courtyard. That's not the point, the point is, this young man, especially Ximen Chun of the White Tiger Clan-the "cat ears" with black and white lines that sell cuteness will expose you all of a sudden? And your voice that is neither male nor female, if it weren't for the typical male clothes and that name...... Wait a minute...... How do you feel like you suddenly don't know the gender of this guy? Is this a woman dressed as a man...... Or is it a pseudo-mother? think about it...... Hey, what's going on with this weird excitement????

Probably hearing the sound of footsteps, Ximen Chun, who was originally facing away from the door, turned around slowly, and his face, which looked like the feminine and handsome stroke of the Korean fresh meat on the earth, was suddenly covered with surprise. Shangguan Ziyang suddenly felt a trembling coming, his eyes turned to the source of the trembling, and the little white tiger on the side was trembling while looking at Ximen Chun while leaning on Shangguan Ziyang's calf.

"I didn't expect you to ......" Ximen Chun completely disregarded the image of Shangguan Ziyang in the direction of pounce, the expression on his face looked extremely lewd, this sudden change caught everyone present off guard, Shangguan Ziyang saw someone pounced, instinctively dodged to the side, the afterglow in his eyes saw that Ike's wolf claw had popped out, Kenji's hand was also on the hilt of the knife on his waist, Patrick had already aimed the horns at Ximen Chun who pounced, Alice's magic bow was also pulled up, and the Blue brothers and sisters even sacrificed their maces.

"Ran here!!" Ximen Chun quickly threw down the little white tiger on the ground with lightning speed, and hugged it tightly, as for how tightly he hugged Shangguan Ziyang didn't know, but looking at the little white tiger's violently struggling limbs and the expression of being about to die, it was estimated that it was unbearable, right?

"Lord...... Person...... Save...... I ......" The little white tiger was rubbed against Ximen Chun's face, struggling on all fours, and asked Shangguan Ziyang for help with a deadly expression.

"Hey!" Shangguan Ziyang, who reacted, pointed at Ximen Chun, who looked intoxicated, "You hurry up and let go of my friend, otherwise I will be unkind to you!

Ximen Chun seemed to hear Shangguan Ziyang's words, and finally came out of his intoxicated expression, but when he saw Shangguan Ziyang's appearance, he suddenly pointed at Shangguan Ziyang and shouted: "You were hiding here!!! I said that I didn't find you when I went to the Shangguan family to ask for an explanation last time, and the Shangguan family didn't admit it...... So you're hiding in the Duke's Palace...... Are you from the Shangguan family?"

"Am I from the Shangguan family in your business!Do you think I want to carry this surname??Also, let me emphasize again, let go of my friend, otherwise I'm not welcome!" Shangguan Ziyang completely suppressed Ximen Chun's momentum back, "Also, who allowed you to come here???"

"Speaking of which......" Ximen Chun's expression instantly became serious, and the speed of changing his face was much faster than turning a book. "Our Simon family would like to invite you to a banquet......

"I'm not available...... Shangguan Ziyang interrupted Ximen Chun's words without hesitation, "I'm not interested......

"Wait......" Gu Xin's disguised old voice suddenly sounded, and then Gu Xin walked to Shangguan Ziyang's side and whispered in her ear, "Promise, let's go and get to know each other." ”

(I'll go...... Don't you know, those Qin people are a special group of neurotics...... Shangguan Ziyang asked softly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Gu Xin nodded firmly.

"Okay, what do you say about this so-called banquet?" Shangguan Ziyang looked at the little white tiger who had given up struggling, and asked Ximen Chundao, who suddenly changed his face and looked serious.

"If you agree, why don't you prepare now, I'm here for you to show you the way. This is my father...... The elders of our people sincerely invite you. Ximen Chun's expression was very serious, and this banquet, there were also the other three major families of Great Qin present...... I think that as a member of the Shangguan family, although you are not with the Shangguan family for the time being, several of our elders still want to get to know each other - since I failed in the match with your team, I was invited as a messenger...... Everyone...... "Ximen Chun looked around at everyone", please prepare a little, and come with me later. ”

"Okay, no problem. Shangguan Ziyang pointed to the little white tiger that Ximen Chun was holding calmly, "But...... You put my friend down first. ”
