Chapter 62: This is a stratagem
Because the situation in Stilwell City is a bit delicate, the venue of this year's Stilwick Provincial Mercenary Tournament was moved to Minsk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On the day of the info competition, in order to cheer for their fellow villagers, many people came to Hulala, a resident of Minsk, and even the big wife and fast-legged old lady crowded into the crowd and looked eagerly at the stage.
In the lounge, Mira said to Xiaofeng in surprise: "How do you know that our first opponent is a mercenary group under the name of the Holy See? ”
Xiao Feng said expressionlessly: "Knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, besides, in order to select the Holy Maiden this time, the Holy See has applied for mercenary qualifications for each candidate, and has formed many teams to participate in the competition, which is already a well-known thing." Today we are going to meet such a candidate team, called the Sonorous Rose Squad. ”
Mira nodded, looked at the beckoning cat worriedly, and saw that she didn't react, so she sat next to her with confidence, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her thigh, and she didn't need to look at it to see that it was already bruised.
Quickly rubbed Xiaofeng's shoulders and pounded his legs affectionately: "Xiaofeng, seeing that you are so calm, you must have already made up your mind, right? By the way, can you arrange for me to play later, after so many years, my mother took the initiative to come to see me, and I really want to show myself in front of her. ”
Xiao Feng looked at the fast leg for a while, took out a notebook from his arms, crossed out a name with a pen, and added the fast leg. Taking advantage of the time of chanting words in Xiaofeng's mouth, Mira quickly took a look, only to see that the book was densely drawn with symbols and lines, and she was almost completely incomprehensible.
Xiaofeng closed the notebook: "Although the other party is a C-level mercenary group, but the ones sent are only some novices who have just obtained the mercenary badge, do you have confidence?"
Mira raised her hand very consciously: "No." These holy female candidates are all middle-level priests, almost as strong as a beckoning cat, we can't beat it at all, haven't you seen me being bullied by her every day?"
Xiao Feng said with a straight face: "Not everyone is as unproductive as you. Although it is true that the intermediate priesthood is a headache, the purpose of participating in this kind of competition, the Holy See's purpose is to select virtue rather than ability, and the focus is on the selection of character and heart. So, I expect them to come up with heads-up for us. ”
"I've arranged who and what to do when you get on the pitch, you have to follow the instructions on the slip of paper step by step, otherwise I can't guarantee victory. ”
Mira stood on the stage, looking at the timid little girl holding the staff opposite, feeling that her whole body was full of courage, so weak and windy, maybe she could push her down with one finger. He secretly looked at the note in his hand again to make sure that he was not mistaken, so he had to suppress the restless thoughts in his heart.
When the referee announced the start of the match, the little girl immediately cast the shield of light, and at the same time summoned a light rat to guard her side, looking nervously at the big devil in front of her. Yes, as soon as the matchup list came out, their captain had already detailed how terrible Mira was.
Any kind of group battle is just a joke for anyone who can summon the Scourge Legion, so when the captain decides on a strategy for a heads-up wheel battle, no one disagrees. As the one with the most defensive spells and the strongest survivability in the squad, the little girl became the first to appear, and her task was to consume Mira's mental power as much as possible and create a chance for the second and third companions to appear.
In this way, when Mira deserted for a while, and finally decided to follow Xiaofeng's instructions, the little girl did not launch any attack at all, but just brushed layers of shields on herself, and the light rat only crouched in front of her master and squeaked at Mira, and did not rush up to entangle her opponent as quickly as she usually did in training.
"Alas," Mira suddenly sighed, "all I know are murderous tricks, and summoning the undead is even more terrifying and brutal, how can I bear to make a move on such a lovely girl? God, why let me go through such psychological torture?" He paced a few steps on the stage, and suddenly sighed sadly: "No, I still can't make a move on you, you can beat me down." ”
The little girl still maintained a look of full vigilance, but finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing? Are you using a psychic attack? ”
Mira scolded in her heart, what am I doing? How do I know what I'm doing? This is all a script written by that second-class Xiaofeng, even the eye movements, gestures, and tone are all set to death, just like rehearsing a drama in school.
But scolding and scolding, the play still has to be played, Mira hugged her head and made a violent psychological struggle: "The big husband can't bully women and children, let alone such a beautiful and lovely girl, I'm sorry, I admit defeat." With that, he jumped off the platform.
There was silence on and off the stage, hallucination, it must be an illusion, didn't this Mira hear that she was very powerful, and she went down without any beating? The little girl was also in a daze, and after thinking about it, she blushed again, and she didn't know what she thought.
When the referee announced that "Mira of the skeleton squad has failed the battle, and the next player Lyle will be invited to the field to challenge", the little girl was still thinking about it with her cheeks in her hand, and suddenly saw One-Eye standing in front of her with a long sword as if smiling, and she suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, I will also admit defeat." ”
In the blink of an eye, One-Eyed's opponent was replaced by a girl with long silver hair, and when she chanted the first incantation with a cold face, One-Eyed had already turned her back on her face and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle: "Win without a fight, win without martial arts, I won't play anymore." With that, he jumped down as well. The silver-haired girl gritted her teeth and signaled to the referee to admit defeat.
In this way, you go back and forth, the two sides have not played a round, but they have alternately conceded defeat like a marquee. When the fourth fast-legged actor stood on the stage with a smile, there was already a boo below, and the audience who bought the outer plate shouted loudly: "It's too dark, refund the ticket, it's okay not to play." ”
Fast Legs was triumphantly making a circle to his father and fellow villagers, and a black-haired girl quietly came on stage, she interrupted the referee's introduction with gestures, and sneaked not far behind Fast Legs before shouting: "That thief, I, Sona, want to challenge you with dignity, you are not allowed to run." ”
Fast legs were startled by the sudden voice, but fortunately, he had memorized the contents of the note well, and a swift wind dodged the light bullet from Sona, and pouted the corners of his lips: "They all admit defeat, if I don't admit defeat, I won't play with you." After speaking, he landed steadily after a chic backflip and an air spin of 1,800 degrees, winning a mountain-like voice, and even more good deeds shouted rhythmically to Sona who was still on the stage: "Admit defeat, admit defeat, get out of class, get out of class." ”
Sona's face was flushed with anger, her eyes were full of tears, as a young man with ideals, morality, culture, and discipline, she always wanted to prove that she was no worse than anyone else, and this tournament had long been regarded by her as the best stage to show herself.
However, she also knew that the Holy See's purpose this time was to value virtue rather than ability, and if she insisted on it forcibly, she would inevitably get a comment that she loved vanity and lost virtue. Even if he steps down, there is still a sister Sophia who is comparable to him in the back, according to the current frequency of the two sides going on and off, Sophia can still stand to the end, so she still has a chance to play in the next game. Thinking of this, Sona held back the tears in her eyes and said, "I, I admit defeat." ”
"Admit defeat so quickly, but that's right, you've never been my opponent, and you don't have to lose face in front of the public if you admit defeat earlier. ”
As soon as Sona walked to the stage, this familiar voice came from her ears, and her face changed dramatically: "Isabel, why are you?"
The beckoning cat smiled like an old cat who had just stolen a salted fish: "What? Do you want to go back and compete with me again? Unfortunately, you have already admitted defeat, and the referee will not let you." ”
Unlike the previous people, Xiaofeng didn't give the beckoning cat a note at all, nor did she give her any instructions, and there was only one word for her: win. According to Xiaofeng, the beckoning cat was originally at the same level as the opponent, and now it is not subject to so many codes and dogmas, as long as it is released and all kinds of tricks are used, it is basically a sure win.
Sona hated to step down, and cheered up her sister who seemed a little timid: "Sophia, don't be afraid of her, we will definitely be able to defeat her after these few days of special training." Have you forgotten how she bullied you when you were a child?"
Sophia stood tremblingly opposite the beckoning cat, bowed her head and said, "Hello, Isabel." ”
The beckoning cat smiled and said, "It's Sophia, I didn't expect my opponent to be you." Alas, when I saw you, I remembered that when I was a child, I helped you sew rag dolls, took you to steal holy water to wipe your wounds, went to find you lost in the middle of the night, and helped you deliver love letters to Knight Keriel, all of which are vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday. ”
Sophia's head hung lower: "I, I'm not going to fight with you, I admit defeat." ”
It was almost boiling on and off the field, this gorgeous god reversal, this bloodless victory, or rather, it was more like a comedy than a mercenary game. Compared to the gloomy sadness of several priest girls, the silver teeth were broken, and several bad embryos of the skeleton mercenary group threw Mira and Xiaofeng high together, but they didn't catch them well, and they fell into their ass.
When Mira covered the sore spot and showed Xiao Feng a thumbs up, Xiao Feng bared her teeth and tried to maintain a calm expression: "This is a ploy." ”
