Chapter 35: Undercurrents
In a corner of the academy, in a dense wood, a castle-like building towers. Although it is a modern style, the design is close to the style of a traditional castle, and it looks magnificent.
This is where the Silver Nest is located.
On the top floor, Hatoma, dressed in a luxurious black dress, stood on the edge of the platform, condescendingly looking down at the crowd coming and going below.
"There has been news in the family, and we must win the first place in this club qualifying competition to show our strength. Behind him, a young man stood like a slave a foot behind Kuma, his face meticulous.
Kuma sneered and said with a slight mockery: "Is this the meaning of the family, or the meaning of my two elder brothers?"
The young man behind him didn't answer, just lowered his head slightly.
"Hmph, the family has only been prosperous for a few years, and they can't wait to come out and fight for power. Hatoma's face was cold, and his hands behind his back couldn't help but clench together.
"Regarding this qualifying tournament, I heard that the Olive Federation has invited Green, who has been in the limelight recently, as a foreign player. The boy said calmly.
"Green? It's a bit of strength to beat Tyron, but that's about it, it's just a defeat. ”
When Kuma heard the news, his face was not moved in the slightest.
"So...... The ...... of the Black Crow Society hesitated for a while, but the young man still said his question.
Speaking of the Black Crow Society, Kuma immediately recalled the mysterious girl with black hair and black eyes, Suzu.
I couldn't help but have a hint of jealousy on my face.
"Even I can't see through that woman's strength, and she obviously retains her strength in the entrance test...... But I also have hole cards that are not played, don't worry. It's just that I don't know where the military got this help, and her identity is by no means simple. ”
Slowly turning a jade ring in his hand, Kuma said thoughtfully.
"But the other side is clearly coming against us, does this mean the attitude of the military?"
The boy asked cautiously.
"The family has indeed developed rapidly in the past two years, and its hands have been extended to the army, and I don't know which bastard's idea, and he hasn't informed me in advance!"
"But if you think about it, it must have been the idea of one of my brothers, such a stupid idea, what do you say?"
The boy didn't dare to answer, but lowered his head.
The Morley family has been inherited for a long time, and the rules are extremely strict, no matter how much trouble the main family at the head is, if these subordinates really dare to intervene, they will immediately be in a different place, which is a profound lesson in exchange for countless blood.
After staring at him for a while, seeing that he was still silent, Kuma also felt bored, and turned his head to continue to look at the vast scenery outside.
"Julu City is too small to accommodate so many forces, and I will lead the Morley family to the peak!"
At the same time, in a luxurious room.
The furnishings in the interior are set up in the traditional oriental style, with screens, cloud beds, and ceramic vases all placed in carefully arranged directions, which looks elegant and noble.
A faint scent of incense lingers in the room.
Suzu was lying on the cloud bed like this, and a screen covered her, and she could only see the slender figure vaguely.
A man with the same black hair and black eyes as him just knelt down on one knee in front of the screen and reported to Suzu.
Stretching out her jade fingers, she slowly picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, Ling Jiao laughed, "Sure enough, Green still agreed to participate." ”
"Is that Green worth your expectations, but he just beat Taryn. The man in front of the screen asked suspiciously.
"Hmm...... He wasn't that simple, otherwise he wouldn't have been favored by Thea of the Brotherhood. ”
"Brotherhood...... What the hell is going on?"
"It's not something you should know, you just need to know that we are not enemies. ”
Suzu's voice instantly cooled down.
"Yes, my subordinates have overstepped, please punish Your Highness. A drop of cold sweat fell from the man's forehead, and his voice couldn't help but carry a hint of trepidation.
"Forget it, you are also an old man who has followed me for many years, don't make this kind of mistake again in the future. Suzu's voice reverted to a slightly languid tone.
"Only the Morry family is the opponent we need to pay attention to, they have the momentum to integrate the aristocratic forces of the entire Julu City, and even extend their hands to the army. Several regiments in Asapsar County had already discovered their tentacles, and even some mid-ranking officers had been bribed by them. ”
"That's why they asked His Highness for help. The man said.
"That's right, it's not convenient for the military to directly participate in the affairs of Julu City, but fortunately, the governor of Asa County has some favors with his family, and I happened to be a little bored, so I accepted this request. ”
"With His Royal Highness personally taking action, just a small nobleman in the countryside, he can easily fall into the quagmire. The man said complimentingly.
"That said, that Haruma is not an easy character to dismiss. If you want to pull up another group of forces in the academy and stabilize your position, how can it be so simple. Don't forget, the biggest fist in the entire Julu City is the Knight Academy. It's just that if he loses in my hands, it will be meaningless, only by letting him continue to lose miserably in the hands of others will his aura be peeled off layer by layer, and then his two elder brothers will probably be impatient to make a move. ”
With a twinkle in his eyes, Suzu gently picked up a chess piece and landed on the vertical and horizontal chessboard.
......
Green had stayed in the room again and practiced the Vientiane Rush moves, and until now he had only mastered a few moves.
A white-gold light lit up on the sword's body, and Green was calm and calm, and slowly swung the long sword, "Platinum Vortex."
A vortex air flow appeared in the air, and the furnishings in the room slowly swayed, as if they were about to be attracted to it.
With a swing of the sword, the vortex in the air was split.
Green looked to the door, "Come in."
Smack.
The doorknob was unscrewed, and Fat Tom walked in, still carrying a document in his hand.
"Green, take a break, you've been practicing all day, aren't you bored?"
"Boring? It doesn't exist, only being strong can make me feel the meaning of life. "Grimm is coloring.
"How strong does it have to be to satisfy you? Grand Knight or Sky Knight?"
"I don't know, as long as there are people who are stronger than me, I will continue to cultivate. ”
Fat Tom shrugged, "Okay. ”
Handing the document in his hand to Green, "This is the list of some players who need to pay attention to this qualifying competition, in addition to this year's students, the second- and third-year students also participated." ”
This Green was very interested, took the file, and carefully browsed it.
The first page is Kuma's information, in which he records his dozens of battles in detail.
has never been defeated, worthy of the first day of Julu City. And most of the opponents are knight-level, so it can be said that there is no water.
In the last entrance test, he didn't use all his strength at all.
After a moment of sighing in his heart, Green flipped back to Suzu's profile, which was unknown except for his performance on the entrance test.
Not...... Sumerian ...... Originally from Bandel City, he is also the heir to a very prestigious local viscount family, and was sent to the Knight Academy because of his talent.
There are also some information about the previous students, Green just looked at it and didn't pay attention to it, the academy's qualifying competition is only for the knight squire level students, and those students who are still in the second and third years are still knight squires have no potential.
After reading this document, Green raised his head and looked at Fat Tom, "More than half of this year's top twelve students have joined the Silver Nest, why is that?"
With a wry smile, he sat on Green's bed, "In the past two years, the Silver Nest has developed rapidly, absorbing many outstanding students, and there is almost a trend of dominance in the academy. And not only the Silver Nest, but the strength of the Morley family is also expanding more and more in Julu City, and with their support, the Silver Nest can continue to develop. Moreover, the Morley family has united several large families and has been putting constant pressure on us big business houses, which is why my father wants you to participate in the qualifying tournament and win some momentum for the Olive Federation. ”
I see, Green nodded, "I see, I'll do my best this time." ”
"It doesn't matter, it's okay to lose, anyway, our club has always been at the bottom of the three major clubs, although it can't compare to the two above, but it's more than enough compared to the small clubs below. Fat Tom comforted.
After a little more small talk, he took his leave.
Green began to continue his cultivation.
His vindictiveness is now one of his weaknesses. Although his cultivation speed is much faster than others, it is still difficult to make up for the gap with Kuma Sumer and others, they reached the knight squire seven or eight years earlier than themselves, and their fighting spirit is not at all compared to the genuine knights, but in order to lay a solid foundation, they deliberately stop at the knight squire level.
The Holy Elephant Fighting Qi in his body slowly flowed, and it was more than several times the total amount when he cultivated the Iron Wolf Combat Skill before, but the Vientiane Rush itself was not a combat skill based on fast cultivation speed, so his progress was not fast.
According to the current cultivation intensity, Green is sure that he will advance to the knight in half a year. It's just that I should also stay at the knight squire level for a while to lay a solid foundation......
After thinking about it, Green still shook his head, he didn't have a big family to support him, and improving his strength as soon as possible was the most important thing.
Anyway, I have the help of the system, and I just need to get enough attribute points.
In the competition two weeks later, with his cultivation speed, he was still a cut behind, how could he quickly increase his fighting spirit.
The herbs that can speed up the cultivation of Dou Qi, the most inferior Oh Leg grass also costs 300 credits, and he doesn't have so much time to earn it, and the points of the Brotherhood are only 30 points now, and they can only be exchanged for some high-grade wound medicines, and if they buy it, they are obviously enough with their current financial resources.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Green thought that Boru, as the owner of one of the three major trading houses in Julu City, must have collected some similar herbs, anyway, he still has a thirty-percent stake in Shangri-La Hotel, and it shouldn't be a problem to get some credit in advance, since that's the case, it's easy to do.
......
The next day, Green appeared in front of the Fighting Gym with a long sword on his shoulder, grinned, raised his legs and walked in.
