Section 19 Knights of Light
Alicia was the first to stand up and cheer, and soon after, her voice was overshadowed by the crowd. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info There was a standing ovation of excitement, and the happiest were undoubtedly those who bet on Talon. Of course, because Daron is the No. 1 player, there are still a few people who bet on him, and most of them want to bet on their luck with Daron's high odds.
What makes Darlon's supporters happiest is that Talon basically passed the first game without injury. In order to survive until the last race of the third day, it is important to stay in good shape. Of course, Melus is also ready to cast healing magic on Talon at any time, and as long as it is not a major injury, she can basically recover quickly.
"Little brother, you are so strong, my sister is obsessed with you~" The black widow Nini Mande, who lost the game and was eliminated directly, did not show the embarrassment of the loser, but accepted the result very heartily. She was now approaching Talon with a courteous face, and even took the initiative to give her a hug.
"It's not a good thing to be hooked on a poisonous woman like you, so don't punish me like that. Daron was unmoved, and said with a wry smile.
"Hmph~ Interesting man. We look forward to seeing you again. Ninimander gave Daron a flying kiss and swayed the water snake's waist down the platform.
After announcing Talon's victory, the host also invited him back to the preparation room to rest. In the afternoon, he'll have to fight the No. 3 pick in their group for the second fight.
After a game in each group in the morning, it was time for halftime, with the spectators and players alike given an hour to lunch.
Alicia and the others still chose to gather in the restaurant of the "Solaris Manor" opposite the arena to raise a glass with Daron to celebrate the victory in the first battle.
Nibbling on a piece of chicken leg in her mouth, Alicia asked:
"Daron, I didn't hear the host's explanation clearly, is the player you fought against just now a member of the Thieves Guild?"
"Yes. Daron replied, holding a small piece of pie in his hand, "And she's also an assassin in the Thieves' Guild who specializes in assassinations." ā
"What kind of organization is the Thieves' Guild?"
"It's the darkest underground organization in our country, and its members are thieves or killers, and we don't know how it was founded. In short, it is a place where a group of talented people who have mastered professional theft and assassination techniques gather. ā
"How are the members?"
"Basically all the thieves and assassins in our country are members of that guild. ā
Alicia nodded, sighed, and snatched the lamb chops from Meluva's plate. Melusa, who had been robbed of food, looked at Alicia with aggrieved eyes, and looking at this scene, Daron couldn't help but have a word in his mind: the law of the jungle......
Kylloa wanted to give his chops to Meluva, but Daron did so first. After placing the lamb steak on Melevia's plate, and receiving an embarrassed thank you from the latter, he said to Alicia:
"As for the Thieves' Guild, I think you'll have a chance to see it for yourself when we get to our next destination, which is the Central City of Dicalren, aren't we going to hire thieves there. ā
"But if the Thieves' Guild is such a dangerous place, will it be as serious as the Mercenary Guild?" asked Alicia.
"Serious...... Probably not, if you want to hire a thief, you have to find the right place first. ā
"What do you mean?"
"Because the Thieves' Guild is an underground organization, it won't open its doors openly. The first thing we need to do is to find a liaison who will take care of the business. ā
"It's so troublesome. ā
"Actually, it's usually a shame to find the business of the Thieves' Guild, and the guests don't want to expose it, so there's no problem at this point. Daron swallowed a piece of steak in one gulp, enjoying the soft, firm flesh as he said, "Alright, that's the end of the Thieves' Guild topic. I've heard that there will be some personal information about the fighters on the big screen in the arena. Do you notice who I'm fighting the second battle with?"
"I noticed. "It's the man in the heavy white armor, with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other." ā
Daron stroked his chin, recalling such a figure.
"Darron, be careful. Kyeloa, who had been chewing slowly, suddenly said, "I also watched the player profile on the big screen, and the opponent you will fight next seems to be a Knight of Light. ā
"No!" Daron said with a rare look of surprise, "This competition is too unlimited, can the Knight of Light also participate?"
"I don't think there's a reason to stop the contestant if he wants to participate. Kylloa said as he took a sip of sweet wine. Instead of ordering another beer this time, he became interested in the restaurant's specialty dessert wine. Although the taste is strong, it is a special drink with a sweet and alcoholic flavor.
"This is a problem, do you want me to fight with the knights of God? Although I don't have too strong faith, I always feel like I'm going to be punished by God for doing this kind of thing. ā
"You don't have to worry about this, this match is a one-on-one duel between the two sides on the condition of fairness, so the goddess should acquiesce. ā
"I suddenly understood why everyone in their group was inexplicably duel one-on-one during the spot selection competition. ā
Alicia and Melusa, who couldn't interject from the conversation between Kyloa and Darron, looked at each other, and Alicia took the lead in asking:
"What do you mean by a Knight of Light?"
Daron glanced back at Alicia, as if he was about to speak, and finally threw the task to Kyllloa with his gaze. If you want to describe the Knight of Light, you have to involve the theological part, and Darron, who is particularly bad at this part, believes that Kyeloa can give a complete explanation better than him.
Sure enough, as soon as Kyeloa came up, he was involved in the mystical knowledge:
"The Knight of Light is the Knight of Faris who received the blessing of the Goddess of Light. They have the acquired divine power of holy attributes in their bodies, but as knights, they can use divine magic. ā
"Wow, isn't that the Demon Swordsman?" asked Alicia.
"It's different, because generally when we talk about magic swordsmen, we mean swordsmen who can use magic, but divine magic can't be considered magic, because divine magic doesn't need to be chanted, just pray, so even humans who don't have magical talent can use it as long as they believe enough. ā
"Didn't you say that my innate attribute is holy, and if I believe in the goddess of light, can I easily use divine magic?"
"Do you think the goddess is a wishing machine?" said Daron teasingly, "Do you think that if you say to the heavens, the goddess will give me strength, and she will respond to you?"
"And how can I use divine magic?" asked Alicia.
Kylloa shook his head and said:
"Divine magic is different from the magic system I learned, if you really want to learn divine magic, you have to ask the priest of Faris, I can't help you. ā
"Hey~" Sighing, Alicia suddenly said as if she remembered something, "No, since divine magic and magic are not the same thing, then why do you still teach me magic?
"Before, no. Kylloa said with a smile.
"What do you mean, do you want me to create my own magic?" asked Alicia, her eyes wide.
"That's right, as Yedam Galle did in the past. Kyeloa replied, "Through the teachings of the Moon Emperor Night, he created his own dark magic, which eventually developed into the later system of dark rituals. And you, who have special innate attributes like him, may be able to create a kind of magic by yourself. ā
"Teacher, I think you're exalting me too much. Alicia smiled wryly, she didn't feel like such a special person.
"I can't guarantee how likely it is that such an idea will succeed in you, but you are indeed the only person I know of someone with innate saint attributes. The use of magic is the perception, gathering, reorganizing, and releasing of Mana, and ordinary people cannot perceive the Mana of the two attributes of holy and dark in nature, but you are born with the perception of the Mana of the holy attribute, and even the talent of gathering in the body. In this way, after completing the last two steps, you can theoretically use the holy energy as you like. ā
"Ah, teacher, you say too much at once, I can't accept it!" Alicia felt like her head was going to explode, and if it was possible, she really wanted to go without magic for the rest of her life.
"Anyway, it doesn't hurt to learn the basics of magic first. ā
"Do you think I look like someone with a gift for magic?" said Alicia, gesturing to her drooping eyelids.
"Sage-sage. Melufa, who had been listening silently beside her, asked, "No one has ever used holy attribute magic before, so there is no rune record, so how can Alicia learn to chant?"
"Well, it's up to her. Kylloa glanced at Alicia and said, "As I said, this kind of magic can only be created by itself. ā
"Ah......" Alicia hung her shoulders weakly, feeling that there was a long road ahead.
After the meal, the three of Alicia returned to the stands, and Daron went to the preparation room. Soon after, the second match of the first group of the day will begin, and Daron will face the No. 3 pick in the group.
The two entered the arena from the entrances of the east and west directions at the same time, walked onto the circular platform amid the applause and cheers of the audience, and finally stood on either side of the host.
Daron carried the big sword and looked at the middle-aged man who was fully armed: the neat hairstyle combed back, the clean face without stubble, the white heavy armor, and the sword and shield held in the left and right hands.
The middle-aged man, who noticed that he was being stared at, returned the salute with a friendly gaze and solemnly performed a knightly salute peculiar to Faris.
"My name is Zanafar Belgander. After politely reporting his name, the middle-aged man then said something that surprised Talon, "I am a Knight of Light belonging to the Knights of the Hall of the Holy Kingdom of Faris, and I am challenging Your Excellency today in the presence of the Goddess!"
"The Hall of the King?!" Daron shouted in disbelief of his ears.
After the host's explanation, Kyeloa in the stands also trembled a little panicked.
"It's actually the Knights of the Hall of the French King?that's an elite knight directly under King Farris, why would such a person come to participate in such a competition?" Kelloya's voice was full of anxiety.
"What's wrong, Kyllora?" Alicia asked, puzzled, with a puzzled look at Kylloa.
"This battle, it is estimated that the ...... is hanging" Kelloa stared at the white-armored knight on the field and spat out such a sentence.
Seeing that the always calm Kyeloa would be so shaken, Alicia also understood the seriousness of the matter, and the audience all let out exclamations, and Mei Lufa was even more bitter and trembling on the side, their reaction was undoubtedly conveying a dangerous signal to Alicia:
This time, the opponent is very strong!
