"The young man is too modest, and all I have is a vulgar temperament cultivated by power and money. It is the son's transcendent temperament that I admire, and it makes people miss the 'Heavenly Valkyrie' and 'Demon Dragon Princess' that I was fortunate to meet in the Holy Light. ”

"The Celestial Valkyrie, once one of the members of the New Saint Generation of the Holy Light, I know this. But the 'Dragon Princess' ......"

The name that he had never heard of in the night when he had just come to the world, even if he looked for it in Ye Yixi's memory, there was no relevant record.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, 'Demon Dragon Princess' is the name that the Heavenly Spirit Empire secretly gave her. If it's her previous title as the 'Shadowless Assassin' when she was a new generation of Saint Light, you should know it. ”

"This is natural. ”

But the first time we met, I was so familiar with the conversation, and before I knew it, I began to put the young man in front of me who was a few years older than me in my heart.

"Prince Arthur is from the imperial capital of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, I don't know if you have heard of the Forest of the Apocalypse?"

"Even the forbidden land that the royal family of the Heavenly Spirit Empire is not qualified to enter, I can't imagine that the young man of the night actually knows?"

"After all, it took the best of the clan's strength to find a little bit of relevant records. On the contrary, Prince Arthur would know about the forbidden places hidden by the royal family of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, which is even more suspicious. ”

The harmonious atmosphere of conversation a second ago became awkward, and the smile mask on Nightnight and Arthur's faces instantly froze.

"Hahaha~"

Laughing heartily, the smile returned to Nightnight and Arthur's faces.

"Everyone has secrets that can't be said, and now they can get along on an equal footing. ”

"Xiye is my real name, and I don't need to be politely called Jiagongzi in the future. ”

"I'm the same, Arthur is my real name. I'm not used to being called a son. ”

The two of them, each with a ghost in their hearts, became friends so easily.

Interesting conversations pass the time, and Nightshade and Arthur also avoid the boredom of waiting.

......

The symbolic building of Qingxia Pass, the arena with a history far beyond the city, and the open-air building that subverts the cognition of the Fighting Spirit Field in the Machine Spirit Continent are also the selection venues for this Qingxia Pass.

The boring selection officially began, and it didn't make Nightshade and Arthur pay attention to the fighting style and skills at all. The evening inadvertently glimpsed the gloom beneath the auditorium.

It wasn't originally built for the sake of the machine spirit master, and the bottom of the auditorium was a cage except for the passage to enter. Although the cage is empty now, the sense of dilapidation and scarred mess all speak of the tragedy of the place.

"Nightfall, do you know what this building was built for?"

When the audition officially began, Arthur's abrupt words rang out in his ears, and he couldn't continue to concentrate on the cage where he could only see a corner.

"The ancient arena in Qingxia Pass, apart from the fact that it can be used for mercenaries to fight. ”

"It is true that letting mercenaries fight is a great purpose, but there is also a more important and cruel purpose, in order to entertain the power of the nobles, to carry out underground gambling and let the machine spirit master and the phantom beast fight. The cage below is where the phantom beasts and imprison machine spirits used to be kept. “

"It's disgusting. ”

"It's a place full of bad tastes, but it's also a place of execution for the most heinous people who use phantom beasts to execute the most heinous. In some ways, the former mercenary capital has been able to exist in a stable order for a long time, and this arena has a lot to do. ”

"Is there two sides to everything?"

"That's true, even if you now support some people to make Qingxia Pass back into the mercenary capital, there are always some bad aspects that you don't know. ”

Arthur, who suddenly began to preach, had a feeling that his inner thoughts were being spied on.

"You shouldn't be salty and bored to tell me this, right?"

"It's nothing but I don't want it, the owner of the treasure house who abandoned me is just a fool who thinks the world is infinitely better. ”

Words that can't be ignored, and the night begins to be wary of the 'friend' in front of him.

"Why do you know?"

"I've said that I'm also one of the candidates for access to the Treasury, and my instincts have already warned you at the first glance. ”

"Then we'll see you later. ”

The urging of Snow and the cat sounded in his head, and Yuya got up from his seat. Unexpectedly, Arthur not only did not show any intention of stopping, but also got up from his seat.

"I'll definitely see you again, Qingxia Pass will be given to you as a meeting gift. ”

Even if the guards behind him opened the spiritual power enchantment, Arthur's unscrupulous words did not cause a commotion.

"Childe, the prince has asked to see you. ”

"No, we're going back to the imperial capital. ”

Without thinking, Arthur gave the order directly to the guards and said goodbye to the night.

"The prince of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, Paboshul Arthur, who is known as the 'noble prince', seems to be different from the records of the Bird Pavilion, and is a human with energy. ”

Unconsciously, a smile automatically appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also started to act after watching Arthur disappear in the evening.

......

The audience above could not feel the horror of the cage, but the selection team members who fought on the ground below without the restrictions of the fighting spirit platform were constantly being tempered by the aura of death precipitated in the cage all the time.

"Being able to continue fighting in this atmosphere, it seems that the students of the blue wolf seniors are not all greenhouse flowers. ”

Inside the seemingly empty cage, Mutsu muttered to himself with disgust on his face as he hid his figure with the help of illusions.

[Mutsu, the night is ready]

Despite his reluctance, the night is unable to telepathize, and the cat can only act as a messenger to deliver information.

"Received ......"

Finally, there was no need to continue waiting in the blood full of precipitation, and the illusion was lifted, and the hands formed a new seal.

'Illusion: Corridor of Terror-'

......

The constant aura of death around him tests his heart, and the opponent's fighting skills are displayed with all his might, causing his body to gradually fall into exhaustion. But in order to be able to participate in the Continent-wide Instrument Spirit Master Competition, both parties selected continued to wave the machine spirit in their hands by relying on their desire for fame, power, and wealth.

Roar Roar Roar

The beast that spread from the heart to the brain screamed, and the body that was pulled by desire lost its motivation in an instant.

The two sides who were obviously fighting fiercely suddenly stopped and sat down on the ground, and the audience was in an uproar.

But in the next moment, the deafening explosion echoed in the minds of every audience, and dust rose from below, and all kinds of spiritual power cannons scattered out in all directions, panic, noise, and fear instantly emitted into the hearts of every audience.

"The illusion is complete, and then please disperse the audience to every corner of Qingxia Pass. ”

【Understand】

By the time Mutsu stepped out of the cage, the tens of thousands of spectators who had packed the arena had disappeared without a trace.

"An illusion that covers the entire arena in the blink of an eye, and is also capable of channeling the deepest fears in everyone's heart. It is even possible to use the Chinese surgeon as the source of infection to further spread fear. What a terrifying illusion. ”

Silently crossing the space, the blue wolf appeared beside Mutsu with emotion.

"It's just a city-destroying level illusion, and it can't even break through the barrier to protect the VIP seats, so it's not worthy of such praise from the blue wolf predecessors. Why are you here, Mu Qing, the city lord of Qingxia Pass?"

"At first, I did sit next to me, but I went up to the top to make a pat on the back of the prince. ”

"In that case, these minions of the Qingxia Pass City Lord that you hate will be handed over to you. ”

Not intending to hear the blue wolf's response at all, Michinoku ignored the existence of the highest high-level barrier and rushed up at full speed.

"I'm really anxious juniors, I don't know how to wait for my seniors. ”

Ignoring the powerful guards directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Qingxia Pass City Lord who rushed around, the blue wolf crossed the space without hurrying and dodging the various spiritual attacks that flew in.

"Pursuit—"

The guards who stood in the air were just about to fly upwards, and the barrier shaped like a fishing net formed out of thin air, depriving them of the ability to volley.

......

In the blink of an eye, the people in the audience disappeared at an unimaginable speed, and the contestants who participated in the selection also collapsed on the ground and lost their mobility. As the escort of many VIPs, he subconsciously wanted to take action, but he couldn't adjust his mentality, and the masters who needed to be guarded in front of him had fallen weakly one after another.

"It's worthy of being chosen as a guardian, and sure enough, this simple hypnotic formation doesn't work. ”

Before he could check the master's situation, the young man with pure white hair smiled and talked to himself and walked out of the corner.

"I also want to clear the site as soon as possible, but not against the rules with my mother. Then you will suffer a little more, and remember that you brought it upon yourselves. ”

Even if a boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old made a ridiculous declaration, the nearly 100 guards around him were all in a posture of battle.

"It's really a qualified guard, although they were all excellent mercenaries. ”

The pure white mystical formation pattern in his right hand began to flicker, and the evening night ignored the menacing guards around him and walked towards the entrance of the passage.

"Being deceived by a flash formation without a trace of attack power, I can't even avoid a simple immobilization formation, so it's no wonder why the blue wolf seniors didn't choose you mercenaries who were once excellent. ”

The pure white formation pattern of the fist of the right hand was also shattered, but after the right hand was stretched out again in the next second, the light blue formation pattern painted by the thunder and lightning pattern took shape.

"This is the punishment of disqualified mercenaries......"

With a mischievous smile, Yuya imprinted his right hand on the chest of the first guard who blocked his front.

Pale blue electricity splattered in all directions, and it wasn't until it spread to each of the guards' bodies that the momentum began to wane. At the same time, accompanied by the crisp sound of the barrier shattering, the night disappeared into the passage leading to higher ground with super-fast moving speed.

......

"Enemy attack—"

A strong man who can be in charge of the prince with a foreign surname in the Heavenly Spirit Empire discovers the illusion and warns him as soon as possible.

"It's too slow, get ready to die-"

With an angry shout, the solid wall behind him was instantly shattered into a huge round hole.

'Phantom - Elimination of the Five Senses'

did not hesitate to sneak attack, but what appeared in front of Yuan Zheng was a silver giant shield that perfectly blocked the attack.
