On April 2, 566 in the Altino calendar, the second day of the competition in the free city of Siam was announced, because of the scratching of the previous day, the contestants had a strange sense of solemnity, and no one knew whether there would be any amazing masters in today's competition.

But in Gengoro's estimate, this is extremely unlikely, because a special case of non-progression like Lancelot's is not so casual.

Lancelot and Hua Ruohong are both confirmed to advance, and before April 4th, there should be nothing else to do except practice behind closed doors, but the two of them coincidentally came to the arena in person. Not to observe the remaining opponents, but their companions, were ranked in the preliminaries today.

If it was Hanajiro or Gengoro, this competition would not be feared at all, but at this moment, Lancelot couldn't help but wonder, let a with almost zero martial arts come to the stage to compete, wouldn't it be just waiting to collect the corpse?

Ten days ago, when he and Hua Ruohong were studying martial arts under the harsh supervision of Hanajiro, Gengoro seemed to have brought Yuxue somewhere for secret training. It is unknown why the content is written, but the screams of killing pigs and a series of explosions faintly heard from a distance always make listeners shudder, and it is difficult to imagine what horrific training poor Shet is undergoing.

When we met at dinner, I saw Gengoro smiling and full of confidence, while the Shetman was completely skinless, as if he had been trampled by a group of wild beasts, but under Gengoro's reply to the spell and forcibly healed, there was no reason to even avoid practice, and soon after the meal, he was dragged by the collar and taken to special training. Listening to the hoarse wail, Hua Ruohong, who had never understood the situation, praised from the bottom of his heart, the ninja really couldn't bear it.

"Hey, don't you boss, don't you want to share weal and woe? Brother, you can still eat!"

"You're sick in the brain! I was talking about cooking together, so the fourth child is in trouble, the most important thing we should do is to toast and eat food here, so as not to violate the oath, cheers!"

“...... I despise your immoral and indecent acts, but this time, I privately agree with you, and have another drink!"

Lancelot and Hanajiro, who knew it well, secretly exchanged such conversations, and after that, they silently toasted in celebration, but fortunately they did not become a classmate of the Sheters, and they were poisoned by the cold-blooded teacher.

In any case, the acceptance moment of hard training is at this time. With a nervous mood, Lancelot, as the boss, came to the scene dressed in black, staring at the rebuilt ring, paying attention to the big and small movements, but unexpectedly found that he had also become the target of others' attention.

It's not a sneering gaze like yesterday, but when you show enough strength, weird clothing becomes an attractive and unique style.

Awe, curiosity, fear, jealousy...... 's eyes, projected from all directions, Lancelot, who became the focus of attention, had a fluttering sense of vanity for the first time. But when he noticed that several eyes from the VIP stands from several sides also moved to this side, there were also warning signs in his heart.

It's not bad to be noticed, but it's worth being cautious when you become a target, and Lancelot wasn't negligent about this vigilance, so he snorted, walked to the corner of the spectator's stand and sat down, keeping a distance from Hua Ruohong.

As if to affirm the effect of the special training, Gengoro did not attend, and Hanajiro seemed to go out all night, and as soon as he returned to the house in the early morning, he fell asleep on the pretext of making up for sleep.

It didn't take long for the third game of the day to come, the referee sounded the gong on behalf of the start of the match, and the 100 people participating in the third game were looking for a suitable opponent. Lancelot soon found Yuxue in the crowd.

According to the inevitable rules that do not need to be added, the Shetters are not allowed to participate, so Gengoro helps him cover his eyes and ears with a special method so that outsiders can't see it.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In the shouting of killing, hundreds of people on the stage faced each other, this experience Lancelot and Hua Ruohong were no strangers, and they also saw that after Youxue looked left and right, he ran towards a knife man, as if he was planning to attack his back, but the man found out first and counterattacked with a knife.

What kind of life-saving tricks did Gengoro teach? Lancelot was very curious to see what kind of magic Yuxue used to turn things around, but unexpectedly, he saw blood spilling out of the tent like a fountain, and the body of the Shet swayed, and a long sharp scar was cracked on his shoulder.

"You...... You actually use the innate sword qi...... Kill me......" Sheter rolled his eyes and hurriedly said, "Good knife technique!" Then he turned over and fell to the ground, his limbs wide open and fell to the corpse next to him.

"Mai...... Senior, senior, Ghost Hidden senior was killed, how could he be killed?" Hua Ruohong, who was panicked, ran over and grabbed Lancelot's sleeve and asked fiercely. The latter's mind was also blank, but what was really inexplicable was the knife-wielding assailant.

(odd...... Strange! My knife didn't touch him! Why did he die, it's hard to ...... Could it be that I am a genius, and my martial arts have suddenly advanced greatly, so my innate sword qi is not rushed?Ah!!) He can't find an answer to this question, because in the fierce fighting ring, people are not allowed to think stunned, especially fools.

The "ah" was the scream of someone secretly cutting him away from behind, and the fallen corpse was pressed against the Shet, who stuck out his tongue and died tragically, and was pushed away by Youxue, who secretly opened his eyes, with his hand.

Lancelot saw all this, and his heart turned to laughter, and then he saw the snow in the cover of the pile of corpses, like an unobtrusive maggot, slowly wriggling, silently approaching the fierce warriors around him, and secretly touching their heels and legs, and those people immediately fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and lost consciousness.

Some people were shocked by the sudden defeat of their opponents, but they were crawled close by the "maggot killer" and stabbed the needle under their feet with their fingers, and simultaneously duel the opponent's footsteps.

Yuxue's movements are secretive, and the clothes he wears are even more mysterious, playing the hidden role of protective colors, and it is obvious that Gengoro has already drawn up such a strategy.

In this way, more and more people fell to the ground, and the speed was several times more than the previous battles.

Finally, when a knight with a lightsaber had defeated his opponent, looked around and saw that he was the only one standing, and was so excited that he was about to cry out for victory, his legs went numb, and he immediately stretched out his legs and stared at him and fainted. After that, Yuyuki, who became the victor of course, slowly stood up from the ground.

"I won, I'm the winner of this game!"

But when the audience woke up from the sudden change of shock and understood Yuxue's tactics, thunderous shouts immediately rang out in the audience.

"Despicable dwarf!"

"You're shameless!

"The shame of the martial arts, this can also be regarded as a martial arts competition? You are simply here to cheat marriage!"

In the shouting and scolding of the audience, fruit peels, paper scraps, stones, mud and dust...... They were thrown into the ring by the angry crowd, and some even threw their swords and weapons in anger, trying to cut the despicable dwarf into eighteen pieces.

"Isn't this kind of behavior too despicable for Mai, Mai senior, Ghost Hiding Senior, why would he use such a method?" Hua Ruohong, who was shocked by the despicable behavior of the Sheters, pushed Lancelot and anxiously asked, purely mentally, this young man was probably the most chivalrous person in their group.

Lancelot rolled his eyes, dazed, unable to answer half a sentence. A lowly martial arts Shet, if he wants to win, of course, he can only use unbright methods, but how can he explain to Hua Ruohong that the four knights of the white night with high moral conduct will make such an obscene behavior in a fight?

"No, on the contrary, Onizo is the holiest Templar I have ever known. ”

Just when the two were stunned, a soft and beautiful voice sounded, and Gengoro, who was more elegant than any beauty in the world, quietly arrived. He looked at Hua Ruohong, and his expression was extremely solemn and serious.

"Little Brother Ruohong, things can't just look at the appearance, you listen to me tell you slowly. As if he knew the doubts in the hearts of the two, Gengoro spoke with a solemn look on his face.

"The cruelest thing in this world is the struggle between people. In order to stop these struggles, in addition to moving them by God's mercy, it was sometimes necessary to end them with war, which was the purpose of the Knights Templar's existence. Yet even with such a correct purpose, war after war inevitably resulted in many casualties. What a cruel test it was for the Templars, who had to face murder while having mercy on the one hand. It is clear that the war was caused by one or two people, why did so many innocent soldiers have to be sacrificed.

So, if we could get rid of the mastermind before the war started, wouldn't we be able to avoid more casualties?That's why the Four Knights of the White Night needed ninjas, and Ikzo was on such a mission. “

"The so-called ninja is to try to achieve the greatest goal with the least sacrifice. As long as he can save more people, no matter how hard it is, no matter how unbright the means are, and no matter how much others spit on him, Onizo always silently tolerates, abandons all right and wrong, and dedicates himself to serving the ideals of the gods. It is an ordinary person who is particular about personal reputation for a while. Even if an individual is pointed at by a thousand people, he can endure it with a smile, which is the highest meaning of ninja, and Onizo is such a great person. ”

At this moment, Hua Ruohong suddenly understood, it turned out that the ghost hiding predecessor was so amazing. Seeing him on the stage being beaten all over his face by the garbage thrown by everyone, he still had that simple smile on his face. Hua Ruohong suddenly had a sour nose, he deeply realized his insignificance, and he was ashamed that he would doubt the ghost hiding seniors.

At this time, Gengoro patted him on the shoulder, sighed, there were tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let us praise him from the bottom of our hearts for the great spirit of sacrifice and dedication for Kizo, come, pray for him with me!"

By this time, Lancelot had already opened his mouth wide and was speechless. Gengoro is talking about great things, but what does this have to do with the competition to recruit relatives? Looking at the two people who were intoxicated with their eyes closed and praying in an atmosphere of holiness, Lancelot couldn't help but sigh, maybe being a god stick would be better than a thief!

(though...... Human stupidity is such a sin!) Not wanting to be the target of everyone's attention, Lancelot left before the results of the game were revealed. Walking on the street, pedestrians on both sides cast strange eyes, dressed in black, he bowed his head and pondered, troubled by a few troubles.

Shi Cunzhong became a seeded player, but for some reason, the Shi family's actions turned low-key, and they haven't seen the pro-guards wandering on the street recently, if it's to take care of them, then now they can remove the camouflage and breathe, but after thinking of revealing their true colors, they were regarded by the crazy masses as the public enemy of the rivers and lakes, and chased and slashed ten streets, so they had to give up this tempting idea.

There are many annoying things, and the most reassuring of them is Fenghua's reaction last night.

"I don't believe in heaven or fate, and I swear that I will let you leave this rotten place and be free no matter what!"

This is the promise he made to Fenghua last night, although it is a little impulsive, but it is a promise he made from the bottom of his heart, as long as he can do it, he will work hard to fulfill it.

But the reaction elicited by these words was unexpected, and Fenghua's delicate body trembled, as if in disbelief, muttering his promise. Her eyes were closed, and her skin had always been pale, and it was difficult to know her emotions, but from that moment she fell into a foggy expression, you could still feel her mood agitated.

"Willow ...... Brother Liu...... You said...... You're going to get me out of here......"

"Yes, the husband has said everything, and the horse is hard to chase, are you happy?"

This question could not be answered, Fenghua suddenly faded and disappeared like light smoke, no matter how much she called, she no longer came out, it is conceivable that she is hiding from herself again.

"Strange...... Having said anything wrong?" Lancelot sighed, "Women are such troublesome creatures, even if they become ghosts. ”

Having said that, you can't put all your heart on Fenghua, and your own martial arts are also something worth worrying about.

I thought that the current martial arts were enough to deal with, but the embarrassment of causing problems in my body when I used too much force made me feel overwhelmed. Others have strong internal strength, they can make contributions, and the internal force in their own bodies is so strong that everyone is shocked when they see it, but it has become the source of their own distress.

If I have such skills, why don't you let me use them freely? The god who is in charge of fate must be a wicked demon who takes pleasure in playing tricks on people.

Coming out to hang out just to relax, but the surname who likes to be lively, but Lancelot unconsciously took away the flower street in Siam City, where the characters are mixed, easy to cause disputes, he is too strong in the past two days, less contact is better, and he wants to leave at the moment, but the path is not familiar, and he gets lost, and finally comes to the remote part of the flower street.

The so-called flower street, which can be said to be an entertainment place, simply put, is a concentration of all kinds of museums, prostitution houses, and restaurants, in which women serve with color art, and there are different qualities with the price.

A few days ago, Lancelot and Youxue went out for a stroll, and the two were separated, and he also came here, and there was a disgusting episode.

At that time, Lancelot looked around blankly, and suddenly several women dressed in fancy clothes, with a gust of rich incense, ran past with a smile, with a very happy expression on their faces, Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and had already been hugged by the waist.

When I turned my head, it was an old man blindfolded with a red handkerchief, and he was playing children's buyi's hide-and-seek with these women.

"Haha, beauty, I've caught you now, and I don't take off my clothes obediently. Why is your waist so thick and your milk so strong, you ...... You're a kitchen dishwasher!"

As the old man spoke, his hands climbed around, causing goosebumps to run up Lancelot's head in an instant.

"Fat, fat your dad!"

Angry like a volcano erupting, Lancelot kicked the old man [***] down, thinking that bullying the old man was not done by the eldest husband, and resisted the urge to make up for it, just at this time, there was snow to find, and the two left the place together.

"Headache! Why did you come here again? Where is the way back?"

Revisiting the old place, remembering the unpleasant experience of the previous trip, Lancelot frowned.

Now in the remote area, whether it is the house construction or the wine girl, it is a low-consumption shoddy goods, and even walking on the road, you can clearly hear the fierce moans of men and women in the houses on both sides.

Without blushing or feeling his heart racing, Lancelot had a surprisingly nostalgic feeling. Since I can remember, I have grown up alone in the mountains, and the only one who has been my companion and taught me everything is a dead old man who does not know his name.

When he was growing up, the old man taught himself to read, but he never taught anything. All the knowledge beyond the mountain was occasionally obtained by the dead old man at night, or reminiscing about the past martial arts and battles, or telling myths, poems, and heroic legends.

In particular, there are all kinds of heroic legends, all of them are extraordinary in martial arts, with bravery and chivalry, against a powerful enemy, although the process is difficult, but in the end they can still overcome all difficulties with wisdom and courage, and achieve immortal careers.

For Lancelot, who was young and trapped in the mountains, these magnificent and fantastical stories were deeply rooted in his heart and became his goal in life. I don't know how many times, he hopes that he can be like the heroes and heroes in the story, majestic in front of the people of the world, and the road he wants to take, no one in the world dares to stop it, and no one is not afraid! To have such a momentum is to be worthy of a man's life.

Mixed with the experience of the old man's long life, the image of the hero seems to be a little biased, but it is much clearer and clearer. Such as "since ancient times, heroes are lustful", "only a man who can hug the women around him can embrace the whole continent" These big man thinking patterns have also been instilled into Lancelot's brain after subtlety. Therefore, he always subconsciously likes to run to the flower street and willow lane, before he has established his own martial arts, it seems that this can get closer to the heroes in the poem.

Fang was stunned, there was a noise of people next to him, and there was the sound of something falling to the ground, so he wanted to turn his head to look, and he had already hugged his thighs tightly.

"Huh, brother, aren't you my brother who I haven't seen for many years? Why don't you come to Siam and don't get together with my old brother, you really live up to our friendship of being born and dying together!"

Lancelot was taken aback, and among the current several identities, there was only one who would be mistaken for such a person. But he has already changed his disguise, will he still be mistaken for Liu Yidao? At the moment, he pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and got ready, but as soon as he made a move, there were already more than a dozen big men around him, all of them with angry eyebrows, and they did not have good intentions.

"Don't think that a lot of people will work, what do you want?" Lancelot decided to strike first.

"I don't want to do anything, we just want to ask the honorable driver, how is this account calculated?" the leader waved the steel knife in his hand and said quickly.

This must be the wind of Liu Yidao's account, anyway, it's useless to explain, let's settle it with strength!

"Hmph! There are a lot of people on the mainland who have to settle the accounts of this uncle, how old are you?" Lancelot pulled out his sword and said proudly: "If you want to settle accounts, come up and see who will settle accounts in front of King Yama first!"

Although it has not been promoted to the first-class realm, when the martial arts cultivation has made great progress, a strong sense of oppression is forced in all directions with the blade, so that these dozen people understand that the surrounding party is not an ordinary character, and they show fear.

"Good...... Good guy!" Everyone took a few steps back, and the man at the head exclaimed: "Eat overlord rice and scoop overlord chicken, and dare to be so evil, and leave a name!"

"Overlord Rice, Overlord Chicken?" Lancelot was stunned, vaguely understanding that he had made a mistake, but for a moment he was stunned, he could take advantage of the opportunity to shoot down more than a dozen knives and sticks.

"You don't want to live!"

With a loud shout, the treasure knife was cut out in a circle, cutting the attacking weapon into two, and then drawing a knife circle, killing everyone with their heads and running away in a hurry.

Driving away everyone, I remembered that there was a disgusting thing holding my thigh, and when I looked down, it seemed that it was the old man who caught him in hide and seek, and he was angry and wanted to kick him away.

"Alas, Shaoxia, it's really thanks to you, without you today, my old bones would be miserable. ”

The two sides officially took a look at each other, and Lancelot's head thundered, and the three souls and seven spirits were so shocked that they all flew out of the sky, staggered back a few steps, and pointed their knives straight in front of him.

"Okay, dead old man, you're finally fucking chasing you down the mountain!"

On the other hand, the competition with snow caused an uproar in the field, and the referees talked about it. Judging from the results, out of the 100 people participating in the same game, only he has the ability to fight, but it seems quite strange that he will be awarded the victory.

Originally, the referees ruled that "those who fall to the ground and do not move are considered losers" in the rules, and judged that Xue was disqualified from the game from the moment he fell to the ground. However, Yuxue retorted that the referees were nameless on the grounds that "I didn't fall to the ground and didn't move!" Of course, this is a text loophole that Gengoro had caught beforehand.

In the end, the referees had no choice but to declare that Youxue had won, on the grounds that trickery is also one of the strengths, and what the competition seeks is a man who really has the strength to stand tall. This verdict made many people stunned, but a rumor also spread among the contestants, the judges' verdict was the result of accepting Dongfang Xuanhu's instructions.

The truth of the matter, except for Dongfang Xuanhu, belongs to Gengoro who knows best, because it is all in his budget.

In the Shen family's mansion, Gengoro smiled slightly, playing with the fine needle in his hand. Youxue used this needle in the morning to secretly calculate dozens of martial artists in the fierce battle, and at this time, the thin needle shone with a unique blue light in the sun.

"Blue Blood Divine Needle!" Hanajiro next to him was a little surprised. The Blue Blood Divine Needle is a token of the Great Snow Mountain, an organization that specializes in cultivating killers and making all forces awe-inspired, and the first lesson for each killer to come into contact with poison is to deploy a Blue Blood Divine Needle of his own.

Although it is self-blended, there are several herbs in it, which only grow within a hundred miles of the Great Snow Mountain, and it is difficult to collect them in other places, otherwise how can it be used as a token between the killers.

"The Blue Blood Divine Needle is a token of the Great Snow Mountain, and if it is not held by the disciples of the Great Snow Mountain, it will be immediately listed as a target for killing, where did you get this thing?"

"The Qinglou Alliance and the Great Snow Mountain have a certain amount of contacts, ten years ago in a joint operation, the Great Snow Mountain sent a hundred special blue blood divine needles to the Qinglou, this time for the convenience of action, I took my son-in-law's name card, borrowed one from the Qinglou headquarters. ”

The son in Gengoro's mouth is the head of the Medici family of the Seven Great Sects, and Hulegu, with his face, can borrow this thing from Qinglou.

This is also the reason why Dongfang Xuanhu makes people promoted. Under normal circumstances, no one would want to be an enemy of the Great Snow Mountain. Gengoro smiled, but there was a deep reason in his smile.

"Second brother, in your eyes, what is abnormal about the actions of the Dongfang family this time?" is not to say it directly, but to discuss it with the people around him in a way that guides thinking, so that others can understand what they want to say, this is Gengoro's consistent style.

"First of all, it's very strange, among the seven major sects, the martial arts Wang family is the strongest, and the Medici family and the Shi family are in second place. To choose an alliance object, although the Wang family is strong in force, it is far away in martial arts, and the head of the family is notoriously war-averse, not an ideal object. However, the Shi family and the Medici family are similar in strength and have a feud with each other, and the Dongfang family didn't even consider it, and directly chose the Shi family, which is the first suspicion. ”

Hanajiro groaned: "This level of military alliance should be quite psychologically prepared before it is concluded, and in the course of things, there is no reason to stop because of the actions of several other companies that have heard the news and blocked it, this is the second suspicion, which makes people unclear about their plans." ”

"Actually, it's not that complicated!"

Gengoro smiled and explained to Hanajiro: Summing up the recent eavesdropping information and what the Oriental family did, he estimated such an answer. The so-called Siamese recruiting relatives is actually a third-rate trick of the Oriental family, first using the name of military cooperation with the Shi family to provoke the attention of all forces, stir up their own market, and then repulse the Shi family and sell it at a new price.

The competition is only on the surface, and the faction that intends to cooperate with the Dongfang family to develop weapons must show its strength in this recruitment, and the Dongfang family will finally form an alliance with the winner, which is much more reliable than simply finding the Shi family.

However, this practice also allows Gengoro to see clearly the thinking mode of the high-level of the Oriental Family, or the Oriental Xuanhu.

"Dongfang Xuanhu himself is quite ambitious, but he seems to be indecisive in his approach. Since its establishment, the Oriental family has been in the business of casting weapons, declaring that it will not participate in the struggle for hegemony on the mainland, and strives to maintain good exchanges with all forces, which is why it has been able to stand until now. ”

Gengoro said: "Until this generation, Dongfang Xuanhu was not willing to do this, and wanted to further expand the power of the Dongfang family, so he was ready to move, but he was unwilling to give up the security under the peace for hundreds of years, so he tried his best to implement his plan without offending anyone. ”

Hanajiro said: "In this way, it seems that you don't have a high opinion of the old ghost in the East!"

Dongfang Xuanhu's mentality, just like a greedy turtle, is ambitious, but his actions are timid, and he just wants to hide in a safe shell to act, not only is it difficult to make a decision at a critical moment, but his vision is also easy to be delusional due to his narrow vision. Gengoro shook his head and said: "In the past, the spirit of the ancestor of the Oriental Family Liuyang to create a family is no longer seen in his descendants, and this kind of thinking mode will not be a big thing." ”

If he heard this criticism and knew that he was looked down upon like this, Dongfang Xuanhu would definitely be furious! But Gengoro, who spoke, didn't care, and the sneering man who applauded on the side never took anyone seriously.

"Bang, Bang! Great, the subordinates of the black-hearted demon really have an excellent monster!" Hanajiro said: "The topic is very interesting, so I would like to ask, what kind of person do you think is the person who achieves great things?"

"This ......"

To achieve great things and dominate the world, it takes the right time, place, and people, and many conditions to cooperate, and people who can meet these conditions, even if they set their sights on the heads of the seven major sects, there are not many people on the current mainland.

But what about the future......

It won't be too long, five years at most......

In the end, Gengoro didn't answer, just quietly cast his eyes on the blue sky outside the window.
