Chapter 68: The Ceremony (1)
"Woo woo!" The loud horn sounded in the sky, and on the spectator seats in the oval-shaped "Thorn of the Wind" arena, all kinds of aristocratic flags were fluttering, representing 70% of the ruling power in the Violet country, and the aristocratic representatives were gathering in the famous arena in this Violet University Town.
The Thorn of the Wind, the name of a great knightly unit in the history of Violet, pierces the heart of the enemy like a blast. In the chaotic northwest continent, the countries fought endlessly, and in a certain period, the enemy invaded, and the knight army of the Wind Thorn used their actions to defend the dignity of the knights, protect the weak, fight against strong enemies, and fight for the monarch, from generals to soldiers, almost all of them died, blocking the invading country from the country.
In honor of this great unit, the largest arena in this university town is named after it.
"Bell!" a knight academy slammed a spear into the enemy's round shield with a dull thud, and the audience cheered at the sight of this brilliant blocking skill.
In the center of the audience, Wang Xiaotian yawned boredly, watching the battle between the two knight cadets, he felt very bored.
has seen several big battles, Wang Xiaotian has seen countless orcs and humans fighting to the death, that is the most thrilling and direct battle, and these knights on the field, their movements are fancy, and their fighting skills seem to be exaggerated and exquisite, but it is more like a performance than a real fight.
However, the aristocrats outside the venue watched it with relish and commented from time to time.
"Let's see, is that move just now has the majesty of the Luanwei Knight's "Knight Spike", look at that knight young man, the arc of his spear, and the young man's high-spirited posture, he really deserves to be the descendant of the Luanwei Knight!"
"Hey, you see, that block, the cross arm is up, when we were studying, this action was practiced hard for a while, this young man did it very standardly......"
Comments like these filled the audience.
These nobles, large and small, most of their territories have been peaceful for a long time, at most they are some small thieves, naturally there is no real fighting and fighting, and they see it with relish one by one, as if they are the kind of masters with extraordinary force.
What they saw was the elegant fighting posture and aesthetic movements of these aristocratic academies, such an elegant battle, this is an aristocratic fight, as for the blood and flesh splashing and shouting for their lives, this is not in the heads of these noble lords.
"This is the atmosphere of the nobles of the royal capital," Patrizi, who was sitting next to Wang Xiaotian, looked at Wang Xiaotian's bored appearance, chuckled and explained in a low voice: "Hehe, these pampered guys don't have the opportunity to fight, so these fights full of fighting skills can provoke the kind of romance of duels in their hearts." ”
"Then what's the point of us looking at these things?" Wang Xiaotian muttered dissatisfiedly, sitting here like a fool watching the two bells and whistles "duel", this is a waste of time and a waste of life in Wang Xiaotian's opinion, instead of having this idle time, it is better to go to sleep.
Patrizzi looked at Wang Xiaotian a little helplessly, he covered his forehead and said: "This is the graduation ceremony of the university town, let the students have a duel in front of many nobles, on the one hand, it can make the outstanding students attract the attention of the nobles and get a good future, on the other hand, it is naturally to show the strength of our country." ”
Seeing that Wang Xiaotian pursed his lips with some disdain, Patrizzi also felt that this was very false, and continued to speak helplessly.
"Well, so many years ago, the rituals in the university town began to turn a little sour, and it was really boring, but there was a banquet ceremony in the colorful hall of the Academy of Magic tonight, this time, you must cheer up and participate!"
Wang Xiaotian was also a little helpless when he heard Patrizi's words, this guy seemed to have to go in and out of various high-class places on behalf of Dick, although he didn't know why, but he still replied weakly: "I know, I know, I must go at night." ”
Saying that, Wang Xiaotian, who really couldn't stand it, stood up and walked out of the arena.
George followed, Wang Xiaotian was a little bored wandering outside the arena, and soon, a tall figure came into Wang Xiaotian's eyes.
"Sean, I know that your Iron Fist Brotherhood will be very strong in the university town, and when I want to play later, I will finish a set of fighting skills, you pick a good hand for me, cooperate well, let Young Master Ben be in the limelight, hehe, gold coins are not a problem. A cadet in a knight's suit, he stood in front of Sean and whispered.
"Hehe, don't you believe in my Sean's reputation, I promise you to win beautifully and win the applause of all the gentlemen!" Sean rubbed his hands, and his body was like a bear.
Receiving the money bag handed over from the knight's student, Sean smiled even more sincerely.
When the knight uniform student left, Wang Xiaotian walked out of the shadows not far from Sean as if nothing happened.
"Mr. Sean, long time no see," Wang Xiaotian greeted politely.
"Hmm, who!" Sean turned around, his eyes were sharp, like an angry bear bursting, and when he found out that it was Wang Xiaotian, he calmed down again, he frowned and said: "What about the guy I arranged to guard nearby! Damn, you dare to be lazy for me." ”
"Here," there was a plop, and one of the stunned students was thrown out by George.
"Hey, Mr. Sean, I didn't expect you to have this kind of business," Wang Xiaotian looked at him with a smile.
Sean didn't care either, and generously admitted: "These rich noble young masters, if they want to make a good name in the fighting ceremony, I can arrange good hands to fulfill them, hehe, you can also make some money, why not." ”
Sean didn't even have a trace of shame about this kind of black match, and he was very accustomed to it.
On the contrary, Wang Xiaotian was a little dumbfounded, is this still an academy for the country, it seems that power and money are the best weapons to win honor.
"Mr. Wang Xiaotian, look at it, hehe, we, the civilian students, even if we win the game, in the end what we get is not a future, but the revenge of all the noble students, we just honestly set off them, on the contrary, maybe one day you will be thrown to the front line and die in which conflict. Sean was very open-minded.
As he got in touch with Sean, Wang Xiaotian found that this academy, which ostensibly cultivated talents, had actually been completely monopolized by power, and if the future generals or future managers of this country were all these crooked melons and cracked dates, Violet was afraid that it was almost over.
