Chapter 647: The Contest (5000 Words Chapter, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you)

In the name of visiting, the city lord Crane and Lord Vali used the matter of the candidate for the Knight of Light to join forces in front of Eliza at the first time, which Solanton did not expect in advance. It's as if the superior leader came to inspect the work, and the people below finally prepared all the inspection items that needed to be dealt with, but suddenly a guy appeared to stop the car in public and shouted a complaint, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable this feeling is.

In fact, Solanton had reached an agreement with Kraut and Vali on the matter of the candidate beforehand, and now the two suddenly changed their faces and gave Solanton a blow that caught him off guard. What made the priest even more angry was that Tenixiu, the captain of the Knight of Light Brigade he trusted the most, bit back at the most critical moment, making him unable to step down.

Tenishus was single-handedly brought up by Solanton using the relationship behind him, and the two have cooperated tacitly for more than ten years to govern the church in Garden City in an orderly manner, at least there is no major chaos, and the "political performance" is quite good.

A few days ago, Solanton specially came to the door to do ideological work on Tenixiu for the sake of this quota. At that time, as soon as Tenixiu heard that it was related to the overall situation, he immediately patted his chest and agreed, saying that he asked his disciple Rodin to voluntarily give up the candidacy. On the contrary, Solanton felt apologetic and promised a lot of benefits, but he didn't expect that today, at the most critical moment, Solanton suddenly appeared and stabbed him in the back, a fatal one!

Looking at the grim smile that flashed on Tenixiu's square face, Solanton suddenly realized that the central figure of this incident was not the Fat City Lord or Lord Vali, but Tenixiu!

- Will Lord Weishenme and Lord Vali grasp the exact time of Eliza's arrival and visit quickly?Will Weishenme change his face at the same time and shake out the matter of the candidate? This is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time!

Even if there is no excuse for the candidate, there will be other incidents, the purpose of which is to discredit the church of Garden City in front of Eliza (that is, in front of Cardinal Roger)!

In normal times, this kind of dispute over candidates and the like is a trivial matter, but there is about to be an important change in the internal personnel of the church. At such a sensitive moment, any detail can affect the outcome of a future shuffle.

Whether it is Solanton or the rebellious Tenisius, they are just a small pawn in the hands of the big guys. Including this conspiracy, it is also a game that is manipulated. However, for a pawn, failure means being discarded, so don't back down!

Tenithius had already begun to rub salt on the stab: "The Knight of Light is synonymous with justice and strictness, and I have adhered to this creed since I swore an oath in front of the statue of the God of Light. Now I see justice being blasphemed, and I cannot remain silent despite the threats of the powerful. ”

Eliza didn't expect that there would be a scene when she first came to Garden City, and she was more shocked: "What the hell is going on?"

"Miss Eliza, with your wisdom you should see it. Solanton had calmed down, "This is not an ordinary frame-up, but a conspiracy against the church in Garden City, I am very saddened that this conspiracy actually involves important members of the church, and it is my most trusted arm, or rather, this is a trick planned by Tenisius at all!"

Tenisius was prepared and immediately retorted, "Miss Eliza." Do you know that this 'Richard' is just an incompetent person, relying on the relationship of Solanton's cousin Mana, and I don't know how much bribes were used, he became the only candidate recommended by the church in Garden City, and the really powerful candidates were all suppressed and blinded by Solanton. I can guarantee with my life, everything that is said is the truth. Please do justice to Miss Eliza, so that the greed and lust hidden behind the brilliance can be hidden!"

"What do you do then?" Eliza looked a little confused for a moment, "You all seem to have a point......

"It's simple. Tenisius looked confident: "The facts speak for themselves. As long as the four candidates compete in front of everyone once, the truth will be revealed. ”

"That's right......" Eliza looked at Joanna inquiringly. Joanna is also a person who has seen the world, and bows slightly to her.

Paul observed his words and immediately said, "The winner is king, and strength is the most convincing thing." ”

This sentence faintly alludes to Samuel, and when I heard it in Joanna's ears, it felt particularly harsh, and she snorted coldly, without words.

Paul was a genius on the first day of the Longhuang Empire, one of the contenders for the Knights of the Holy Mountain Temple this time, and the words he said naturally had considerable weight, and Tenixiu and the others showed joy one after another.

Here, Eliza had stabilized her emotions and nodded: "Since this is the case, let them compete once, if anyone can win, I will use the privilege bestowed by Her Majesty the Holy Maiden to directly appoint him as an alternate Knight of Light." As for the loser, if he does have outstanding strength, I will also recommend it to my uncle to increase the number of candidates for Garden City, so please show your strength and perform well. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two candidates, Ommy and Met, lit up at the same time.

Turney said: "Miss Eliza is really wise, but it is not convenient to compete here, I suggest going to the arena of the church, Solanton, you have no opinion." ”

"Hmph, of course I don't have a problem. Solanton and Mana glanced at each other, their faces were a little ugly, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, so they could only take one step at a time.

The arena of the church is like a large ring, with auditoriums around it, so you can clearly see everything on the stage.

There was an extra young man beside Tenisius, who was none other than his disciple Rodin. Rodin was in his twenties, carrying a broadsword on his back, and his eyes were very sharp.

Solanton's brows furrowed tightly, Omi and Mette are okay, this Rodin is not simple, he is a little genius of the Yang Shao Kingdom, his potential is amazing, he has achieved the true inheritance of Tenishi, his strength has entered the division level for four years, and he has single-handedly broken through the vicious blood mist thief group, and he is famous, and his actual combat ability and experience are quite terrifying.

In contrast, although the real strength of "Richard" is also at the division level, his specialty is beast control, and his combat power is definitely not as good as Rodin's.

Under the attention of everyone, the three candidates walked to the arena one by one, and "Richard" seemed to be late.

To Eliza's surprise, "Richard" had a small eagle resting on her shoulder, followed by a leopard.

Chen Rui saluted Eliza from afar: "Miss Eliza." I'm a beast master, so, allow me to fight with my buddies.

"It turns out that Richard is a beast master!" Eliza suddenly became interested, "Of course you can!"

All four of them stood in the ring, and two beasts, to be exact...... Eh, a bird and a beast.

The rules of this competition are simple, the four of them attack each other. The loser who falls out of the ring or admits defeat will be judged to lose, and whoever can stand in the ring will be the winner.

Chen Rui's ears sounded Solanton's previous advice again-"Rodin's strength is too strong, try not to fight him head-on, try to knock Omi and Mette out of the ring first, and then try to show your strength." Try to hold on for a little longer, and even if you lose, you can have an explanation. ”

Too strong? For Chen Rui, this word is just ridiculous. Among the people present, there are only two people whose strength can barely catch their eyes, one is Paul, whose comprehensive strength has reached A-, the first stage of the Demon Emperor, and the first stage of the Demon Emperor. Chen Rui saw that Paul's strength was higher than Samuel's line, and he should be close to breaking through to the edge of the middle section; the other was Eliza, whose surface strength was C, and the real comprehensive strength was A, the middle of the Demon Emperor, which was higher than Paul's, especially the spiritual power had reached A+, it seemed that this little girl was able to become a disciple of the Holy Maiden in vain.

As for Rodin's strength, there is only the first stage of the Demon King of C-. And the other two related households, one is E. One is E-, which is not worth mentioning at all.

However, Solanton really values Chen Rui, who has "beast control skills". He also specially stuffed two scrolls to save his life.

With Paul, as the arbitrator, announced, the battle began.

Almost unanimously, Omi, Mette and Rodin attacked Chen Rui together.

"It's not fair! they're all attacking Richard," Solanton slammed to his feet, "It's a prior collusion haode!"

"Lord Solanton, you are an absolute layman when it comes to this kind of battle, generally speaking, in a melee, the first person to be solved is the one who looks weakest, who makes that Richard look vulnerable. Tenisius responded immediately, actually explaining it to Eliza.

Rodin has been lurking behind Omi and Mette, and he actually disdains these two people in his heart, but because he can't figure out the reality of "Richard", he lets these two idiots take the lead to find out.

The wind leopard beside Chen Rui roared angrily and took the lead to catch up, and Omi and Mette trembled at the same time, and saw a black shadow rushing like lightning. Omi, who bore the brunt of the attack, was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, hoping that his "ally" Rodin could help him block the leopard, but when he looked back, Rodin was gone.

Seeing that the wind leopard was about to pounce, Omi didn't care much, and immediately took out a scroll of the acceleration technique to activate, and the speed of the whole person suddenly doubled, but Omi did not choose to fight the wind leopard, but ran towards Meite like the wind, trying to cause trouble.

Met scolded in his heart after discovering Omi's intentions, he is a magic practitioner, his melee ability is almost equal to zero, it is impossible to withstand the attack of the wind leopard, once Omi succeeds, even if he does not die, he will have to shed his skin.

In a hurry, Mette threw Omi who had hedged over with a sluggish technique, and the wind-like "elegant" figure suddenly slowed down, and Mette hurriedly seized the opportunity to open the distance between him and Omi, and this time, the wind leopard was much closer to Omi.

"You bastard!" Omi had already cursed, and in a hurry, he threw out a bunch of scrolls, and explosions rang out, finally blocking the wind leopard's attack for the time being.

Although Mette's magic power is limited, he also has a lot of scrolls, and he and Omi use magic scrolls to explode each other while scolding, and the wind leopard, under Chen Rui's deliberate control, did not seize the opportunity to attack, but was sometimes tight and sometimes loose, making this farce even more exciting.

The fat city lord and lord below didn't expect such a scene, and their faces were a little ugly.

Solanton's voice rang out in time, full of sarcasm: "I'm really not very good at fighting, but it's the first time I've seen such a wonderful scroll battle, and it's also two 'future' knights of light. ”

Miss Eliza didn't bother to listen to this now, she was watching the "fierce battle" between Ommy and Mette with relish, and when she saw the "climax", she couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh.

In the audience, more eyes were focused on Chen Rui and Luo Dan, compared with those two harlequins, these two are the real protagonists.

The battle between Chen Rui and Rodin was also a chase battle, and it was Rodin who had the upper hand, and the broadsword in his hand was like a hurricane, chasing Chen Rui closely. Rao is the arena's enchantment is strong, and from time to time there are cracks on the ground that have been damaged by tremendous pressure.

Luo Dan's attack is very ruthless, the sword is not far from the point, if Chen Rui only has the strength of appearance, once he is hit, even if he is immortal, he will become crippled.

Chen Rui, who was passive, kept retreating and dodging, and several times he was in danger, and the ptarmigian baby bird standing on his shoulder was motionless. It was as if I was stunned.

Tenithius showed a winning smile, although Rodin can't be compared with Paul's kind of genius, but his qualifications and potential are among the best in the entire Yang Shao Kingdom, and in a few years, even he, a teacher, will be overtaken, just a beast master. Self is not enough to worry about.

Luo Dan shouted, and the broadsword in his hand burst out with a strong yellow light, and his sharp qi broke through the air and slashed towards Chen Rui, who had not yet gained a stable foothold. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Chen Rui seemed to have an idea, and rolled on the spot with a lazy donkey, narrowly avoiding the blow, and a ten-meter-long crack appeared on the stone slab on the ground under this blow, and the young bird also flew up because of Chen Rui's rolling.

Rodin was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue. He felt the light in front of him, and the intense light made his eyes tingle, and he couldn't open them for the time being: flashing?

Flash magic is the lowest level of light magic, mainly emitting dazzling light to obstruct the enemy's vision, and for a while, the audience's vision is also blocked.

Suddenly, Rodin, who closed his eyes, keenly sensed a danger and immediately blocked it with his sword.

The attack turned out to be a bolt ......of lightning, and Rodin suddenly twitched. The lightning was not powerful enough to be lethal. But he was temporarily incapacitated.

Immediately afterward, the feeling of danger rose again. To Rodin's heartbreak, this time it seemed to be a hundred and ten times stronger than the last time!

In the dazzling light, Rodin's screams were heard, and Tenisius's smug smile suddenly froze on his face.

When the light cleared, Rodin was seen rolling on the ground, his hands over his eyes and a terrible scream.

On the other side, Chen Rui had already climbed up, panting violently, the leather armor on his chest and abdomen was cut in half. What caught people's attention was that the young bird of the ptarmigan had appeared from Chen Rui's shoulder to his arm, and blood was dripping from his sharp beak.

"Rodin!"

This scene stunned Tenisius, and he couldn't believe his eyes, his genius disciple Rodin, actually lost!

This is not only a failure in the alternate knight competition, but also a defeat in another battle.

Solanton and the fat man were equally stunned, and even they themselves did not look at Haode "Richard", and miraculously knocked out Rodin!

"Impossible, what kind of despicable plotters have you resorted to!" Tenixiu roared, desperately rushing towards Chen Rui on the stage.

Chen Rui seemed to be physically exhausted from the battle just now, and he couldn't dodge for a while. At this moment, the figure of Paul, as the arbitrator, instantly appeared in front of Tenixiu. Before everyone could see Paul's movements clearly, Tenisius's huge body flew upside down, slammed into the wall dozens of meters away, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a while, leaving a large crack in the wall in the shape of a human, which showed the liliang of this blow.

"How dare you ignore the rules of the competition!" Paul said coldly, levitating in the air, this blow had the meaning of showing off his strength.

Ommy and Met, who had finally relieved the pursuit of the wind leopard, were horrified to see the scene of Rodin's defeat, and the tragic situation made the two of them shudder together, and the two who were still scolding and exploding each other just now looked at each other very tacitly this time, and then made a move in unison: jumped out of the ring.

Chen Rui snorted, and instead of rushing down the ring to chase Ommy and Met, the wind leopard slowly approached Rodin, who was rolling and howling underground.

"Master Paul. Chen Rui "reluctantly regained some strength and bowed to Paul, "I don't think there is any need for this battle to continue." Although I am not a soft-hearted person to my enemies, there are Miss Eliza and Mrs. Zun...... It's better not to let the ladies see too frightening scenes. ”

The wording of "Mrs. Venerable" made Paul's heart feel comfortable, and he felt very pleasing to the eye when he looked at this "beast master", and immediately nodded: "The fight is over! Ommy and Mace admit defeat, Rodin loses the ability to continue fighting, and I declare that the winner is Richard!"

Chen Rui saluted the audience again, and staggered out of the ring, Solanton and Mana hurriedly greeted him and helped him aside to rest, especially Solanton, who could hardly hide the ecstasy in his heart.

This time, it was all thanks to "Richard", not only did he succeed in the most important moment, and he won the battle for the candidates without dispute, but also thwarted the conspiracy of Tenixiu and Shili behind it! Of course, the flash scroll that Solanton gave him also played a key role - at least that's what the priest himself thought.

"Just now, Richard used the scroll of the flash spell at the critical moment, and then commanded the thunderbird to send out the lightning talent, and pecked Rodin blind when he was paralyzed by the lightning spell. Paul explained to everyone what happened to Chen Rui just now, although the flash technique also made Paul close his eyes, but with his saint-level strength, even if he only relied on his perception ability, he could clearly perceive everything that happened in the field - at least Paul himself thought so.

In fact, the flash technique, lightning, and the invasion of the thunderbird are just cover, the thunderbird has not yet pounced on Rodin, Chen Rui's trace of liliang has destroyed Rodin's defense, it can be said that his eyes were destroyed by this trace of liliang, to be honest, if Luo Dan's attack was not so vicious before, Chen Rui would not have made such a ruthless move. In short, it was in a "Richard" way, in front of everyone, that victory was achieved without any flaws.

According to Eliza's previous promise, Chen Rui has now become an alternate Light Knight, and he is one step closer to that Jihua.
