Chapter 29: The Contest (2)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Dressed in the man's robe he had asked for from Wilfredo, Doyle followed Link's footsteps as if he were not allowed to enter, but her increasingly feminine appearance made her more and more violent. This time, it's no longer the mage costume that stops the Wild Bee Wave, but a new pair of sharp horns growing on her head, even if it's only the length of a finger, enough to indicate her non-human blood.
It is very easy to distinguish the level of the monster, the larger the size, the stronger the strength, and the closer the appearance is to the human, the higher the rank. The people who are in the big pit are not unaware of this, they only dare to look with their eyes, and they no longer use words and ridicule, or even physical contact, like in Nax City.
The restraint of the people still did not calm Doyle's anxious mind.
Link decides to take matters into his own hands and help Wilfredo and Campano regain their gambling contract.
This is nothing, but Doyle just doesn't feel good, and he doesn't know why there is such an inexplicable feeling.
Without a normal childhood, Doyle doesn't know that this is a process that everyone goes through as a child - the fear that something more important will take away their parents' attention from them. She was unhappy because she was afraid that she would no longer be special.
Link, who was walking in front, obviously didn't think of it so much, and he was 'seeing' the town with a sense that was broader than his vision.
As Wengers said, time divides the town in two, and it is only at the turn of morning and evening that the 'White Town' and the 'Black City' briefly overlap, or rather, reveal their full appearance. The low wooden houses are located on the outskirts, and when the empty area is filled with tall stone towers, it no longer looks as obtrusive and eerie, just like any other human town. However, the stalls on both sides of the street are no longer limited to daily necessities. More of them are some strange objects, magic items, weapons and armor, alchemy potions, etc.
The fact that his temper is not as short as Vera does not mean that Doyle is patient, and after enduring it all the way, seeing Link getting closer and closer to the arena, Doyle finally couldn't help it.
[What are those three guys worth?]
Link was stunned for a few seconds before he understood what Doyle meant.
[You can't figure out why I should spend my energy and time participating in the contest?]
[Yes!] If the goal is only for the title. It's enough for me to go, you don't have to participate. The possession of the god of war has demonized Doyle's body, and his strength and elements have multiplied several times, and it can be said that he has recovered to the level of the original Dawn Knight. Although he didn't dare to boast that he would definitely win the final victory, Link himself was down, and it was difficult to guarantee that his identity would not be revealed.
[I decided to participate not just to help them. Originally, he didn't plan to come forward, but Lorelei set up YƬ Link to practice his fighting skills that did not rely on divine power, so as not to repeat Doyle's mistakes. Knowing that without the power of the pillar was nothing, Link couldn't refuse.
Back on the way to Kronberg. He already felt his own shortcomings, and the presence of Neam exacerbated this feeling. Divine magic and elemental resistance allow him to defuse most attacks, and he lacks a tough skin to resist purely physical attacks with his body, which requires learning corresponding combat skills as a counterattack.
To make matters worse, due to some past habits, Link has shown little interest in melee combat, preferring more ranged attacks. This makes his role even more difficult against melee combat. Lorelei, who was already aware of this, had long advised Link not to create artificial defects for himself, and if he did not correct them at the beginning. Once a bad habit is developed that cannot be changed, it can become a deadly hidden danger.
Before there was no time. It just so happens that now that there is a ready-made opportunity, Lorelei will not let Link lazy in saying anything.
[After the power of the Pillar of Fire is lifted, you should be busy awakening the Pillar of Earth, and with the increase in power, where do you still have the heart to do these foundations. ć
It makes sense, and Link can't refute it. I simply agreed.
All along, he has relied on transformation, elemental, and divine skills to defeat his enemies, and nothing has been done on his own. Be prepared if you can't use your divine powers, just in case.
The spirit sharing is broken, Doyle and Lorelei can no longer communicate directly, and she doesn't know that Link's decision to go down in person is fueled by Lorelei. is still complaining in my heart about the three new additions.
Wilfredo, who was leading the way, stopped, and the arena arrived.
"It's that guy. Doyle snapped into words.
Link followed her line of sight to see Helini, the merchant, who was standing on the other side of the street and taking off his hat in salute.
"As soon as I saw him, I wanted to beat him. The impulse that belonged to Vera was conveyed to Doyle, who was located in the direction of the surface.
"See you again. Several of Helini's men parted the crowd and walked to the side of the street where Link and his party were. Glancing at the new pair of horns on Doyle's head, the merchant asked in a determined tone, "You participated in the sacrifice yesterday." ā
Even if you change a set of clothes, you can't hide the strong smell of blood, how much should you kill before it will soak your skin and emit blood?
[I want to break his neck.] Doyle was angry and dissatisfied with Link.
[This guy may be useful to us, don't touch him for now.] Link had a hunch that the man who led them to the Great Pit might have something to do with the Arena's administrator, Karonda, who held the pact of all gladiators.
Seeing that Link wouldn't allow it, Doyle turned his head angrily, not looking at the merchant who was glued to him. She is more thorough than Vera in carrying out orders, and she is more reassuring to Link.
Link nodded in reply, refusing to say what had happened yesterday.
A look of disappointment flashed in Helini's eyes, "It's terrible, it's the first time I've seen such a bloody sacrifice in my decades of doing business here. Not only was the ground stained with blood, but even the outer wall of the arena had collapsed in half, and the fierceness of last night's battle could be imagined. ā
"yes, it's dangerous. Link just wouldn't say a word.
Seeing that Link was unmoved, Helini could only shift the target and pay tribute to Wilfredo, who had been missed by him at the beginning, "Oh, isn't this Lord Wilfredo? After speaking, he also bowed exaggeratedly.
Wilfredo pursed the corners of his lips and replied.
Helini keenly caught the small movements of Wilfredo's quick glance at Link. In terms of height and fame, the Lancers were taller than Klin, who had just arrived in the arena, and Wilfredo, who held the title of Athletic Champion, looked at a newcomer who had just arrived for less than a day with almost inquiring eyes......
"If you can survive last night's sacrifice, you won't be interested in ordinary battles. Helini lowered his voice, "Do you want to participate in the strong duel?"
Link turned his head to look at Wilfredo, "Championship race?"
"Yes. ā
Wilfredo's attitude confirmed Helini's suspicions, and the usually loner Lancer not only teamed up with the mysterious man last night, but also relinquished command. The master sent by Xindu is not like, putting aside the identity of the Gun Knight traitor, this man's words and deeds are full of casualness, and he can't be a nobleman. Mercenaries? have been wandering around the Great Trap and Befast all year round, and have never seen this person?
"Master duel, this is still a little interesting, I'm not interested in fighting ordinary people. Link deliberately created the illusion of arrogance, anyway, he had been acting like this all the way, and suddenly became humble and polite, which would make people suspicious.
Wilfredo's eyes were fixed on the ground, and he didn't say anything.
Helini high-fived him and said in an exaggerated tone that he had a way to get Link to skip the rule of qualifying for at least one championship in order to compete in a high-profile competition.
"If you're interested, come back in the evening, the arena is only open at night. With that, he took a group of mercenaries who were making the scenery back to the opposite street, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
"What is this person's identity?" Sensing the merchant's aura disappear into the arena's walls, Link asks Wilfredo about Helini's origins.
"Ostensibly a black marketeer, my true identity is probably only known to Calenda. Wilfredo shook his head, Helini was already here when he first arrived at the arena, and, from the dwarves, he learned that Helini was one of the few people who was qualified to meet Calenda.
"Do you need me to follow?" said Asa, who had been hiding in the shadows. The shadow thief's tracking skills are top-notch, and with the smell and smell that ordinary people can't detect, he can still track the whereabouts of merchants who have gone away.
"No, you can't deal with the ones around him. Link vetoed, but the appearance of a human being exuded was an inhuman smell.
"Monsters?" it wasn't Asa who asked, but Wilfredo, who only felt that the mercenaries were very strong, and didn't see anything strange about it.
Once again, Link said no, "It's not a monster, it's death, it's very light, similar to the living dead." ā
It was in this way that he did not let Doyle move Helini, so as not to startle the snake.
Rather than doubting Nature's children's judgment of the undead, Wilfredo just wondered why he couldn't feel Link's 'dead air'.
"You've just changed jobs, and you need to start over, and I'll guide you personally when you solve the problem here. There are so many people here that it's not a good place to discuss. "Originally, Link went out to play a few fights, to try to get a championship, so that he could participate in the arena that he could only enter at night. Since Helini said that there was a way, he also avoided showing his head, and fighting ordinary people would not help him improve his skills anyway.
"That'...... Shall we go back?" Wilfredo was eager to know how to fight in the Nature Temple, but his small place was not suitable for a master of Link's level, and a single spell could blow the entire building away.
"Go outside and find a cleaner place. "If the subject of practice is changed to Wilfredo, Link would be interested in giving it a try. (To be continued......)
