Chapter 4: The Battle of the Training Room
Nick City is the second largest city in Edel, and it is only slightly weaker than the City of Light as the national capital.
When you come to such a place, if you follow the original youthful nature of a group of people, you would have already run out to have fun, but now you can't.
One is that most of them feel a little nervous, and after five days it will be the divine selection, and even the famously lazy Tom the Fat Man starts training as soon as he settles in, not to mention how hard the others work.
The second is...... They don't have any money.
The rich must have come in the comfortable carriage of their own home, or even the flying boat that hired the temple, how could they ride in a broken carriage collectively like them, and endure bumps along the way.
And in a big city like Nick City, not having money is really a kind of frustration.
For the first three days, everyone stayed in the makeshift hotel. This is the temple's free accommodation for all candidates, one for every three people, just so that Jerry and the three of them don't have to be separated.
It was also here that the three rural teenagers saw another level of power for the first time. From the outside, there is only one house where they live, but as soon as they walk in, there is a cave, and the space seems to be infinitely extended, as if no matter how many people live in it, it can accommodate it.
Jerry was very curious about this magical effect, and although no one came forward to explain it, he already decided in his heart that it should be arranged by the priests of the temple.
Radiance, fire, ice, wind, and even space are the power that can be wielded by humans, and Jerry is thrilled just by thinking about it.
In addition to the rooms for the candidates, there are some relatively simple training facilities in the temporary inn, but even these "simple" facilities have opened the eyes of the fat man and others, and they will soon stay there and are reluctant to return.
Jerry wasn't fascinated by those things, his goal was not to be a warrior, but to be a priest, and to be the greatest priest of all.
But unfortunately, the vast majority of people around the world do not know the specific requirements of becoming a priest, let alone how to conduct targeted practice, and he certainly does not know. At the same time, he did not have the patience of Robben, and could soak in the church and pray and meditate all day.
He was the only one left in the room, but it also gave him the opportunity to ponder the mystery he already had - the tarot card.
Tarot cards are not uncommon in the continent of Mara, with a total of 22 main cards, each with a unique meaning and meaning. At the same time, in Jerry's memory, there is another set of tarot cards, which is generally similar to the tarot cards in the Mara continent, except that the meaning of some of the individual cards is different.
But whether it is the tarot card of this world, or the other one in his memory, it is not much different from the one in his hand.
Even apart from the basic style of the tarot card, he couldn't find any connection between the card and the normal tarot card.
Patterns - completely different.
Numbering - not at all.
The name - and even more so I can't find it.
Even the material, he couldn't tell what the card was made of, it looked like gold, but how could there be such light and hard gold. He'd even tried to sharpen the card with a dagger, but the sharp tip couldn't even scratch a mark.
It wasn't your average dagger, it had been crafted by old Harry during a drunken rise, and he had never encountered anything that could not be sharpened before.
"What did Daddy leave me?" Jerry stared at the tarot cards, hoping to see something.
If someone else had gotten this thing under that circumstance, they would have wondered if it was the Holy Mountain that had given him this treasure or something, but Jerry wouldn't.
After discovering that the pendant left for him by old Harry was missing, he decided that the tarot card had popped out of it.
Even if it weren't for the fact that the miracle of the Holy Mountain was too big, he would wonder if that thing could have been caused by his father...... After all, Harry Sr.'s ashes are buried there.
It's just that when the news of the miracle of the holy mountain came out, he immediately dispelled this idea, just thinking that it was a complete coincidence.
After a while, Jerry, who was staring at a tarot card, felt that his eyes were a little sour, and he had to reluctantly admit that he still couldn't see any mystery.
At this moment, a sharp knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Jerry wasn't in a hurry to open the door, and each room in the makeshift inn was protected by special magic, not only did he not have to worry about being destroyed, but he was also able to block out sounds. Of course, the sound of knocking on the door is an exception.
He hid the golden tarot cards before he walked over and opened the door, but the moment he opened the door he regretted that he was so slow.
Outside the door was Lena, one of the two girls who came with Jerry, and when she saw the door open, she panicked and shouted, "Oh no, Tom, they're fighting with someone!"
Listening to Lena's words, Jerry rushed out without saying a word. Among these people in the village of Blue, Lena's physical condition is relatively poor, at first she is still leading the way, but soon Jerry pulls her away.
Held by Jerry's big hand, Lena's face turned a little red, but the former, who was in a hurry, didn't notice this. He was thinking about hurrying over to help now, because he heard Lena say that Robben was also with the fat man.
With the fat man's body and the strength of half a day and half a hard work, Jerry basically doesn't have to worry about him suffering or anything.
The only thing that worried him was the thin Robben, but this worry was not also afraid that he would suffer, but the opposite.
The whole village of Blue knows that among these young people, the most powerful must be Fat Tom, but when it comes to the most fighting, it is Jerry, a little guy who aspires to become a priest.
This situation is due to the experience he had when he had not yet met Harry Sr., and of course Harry Sr.'s "good teaching" also had a little effect.
But putting aside the factor of combat power, when it comes to the craziest and most ruthless junior in Blue Village, no matter who it is, the first thing that comes to mind must be Robben, the boy who has not grown a few taels of meat and is always silent and seems a little introverted.
There was once a group fight between the teenagers of Blue Village and their peers from another village, this kind of thing is very common in the Mara Continent, and the adults on both sides don't care much, anyway, it's okay if you don't die or get seriously injured, and the other wins and loses win or lose a little bit of a small injury or something, just let the younger generation feel the atmosphere of the battle in advance.
At that time, under the leadership of Jerry's sharp knife and Tom's meat shield, the boys of Blue Village won a big victory, but just when the victory was divided and both sides were about to withdraw, an unexpected happened.
No one noticed when Robben arrived, and when they did, he was grabbing a rock and smashing it into the head. Blood splattered on his face and even in his mouth, but his expression remained as calm as usual......
The training room was already in front of him, and Jerry had already let go of Lena and rushed ahead by himself.
He was now worried that Tom would not be able to control his impulses, and Robben would go crazy with him. Although according to the rules set by the temple, there is no restriction on fighting in the temporary inn. But this indifference is confined to self-defence, and the party that instigates the fight will be punished with the most severe punishment - expulsion from the inn and disqualification from the Holy Selection.
Fortunately, the situation inside made him breathe a sigh of relief, although the atmosphere was already very tense, but there was no fight.
With Jerry and Lena's arrival, all nine people from the village of Blue had gathered in the training room, and across from them, eleven teenagers of their age were cursing at them.
Jerry noticed at a glance that there was a person in the middle of them, and what was more special was that this guy not only had a circle of black blue on his right eyeframe, but also had a clear palm print on his left cheek
"What's going on?" asked Jerry, coming to Tom's side.
Soon, he knew the cause of the contradiction between the two sides.
The boy with the palm print on his face was named Stanley Blomfield, and was said to be the son of a small city lord.
I'm afraid that this Stanley is used to being arrogant, and when he saw that Claures from Blue Village was extraordinary, he immediately thought about it, and he didn't say foul language, and he did not say anything when he came up.
It's a pity that he didn't know that although Claurel was a girl, even the fat man was afraid of her when she got into a fight, so you can imagine what kind of muzzle this guy hit.
The dark blue on his eyes and the palm prints on his cheeks were the response that Laureth gave him. This is still the faster move of his companions, otherwise I am afraid that the memorial that Lauris gave him will be more than that.
It's enough to know this, since the other party provoked it first, then he doesn't need to have any more concerns.
Without worrying about being punished, who were the teenagers of Blue Village afraid of?
Jerry took a step forward and said, "Fatty, give you three!"
"You're ready!"
Tom's face was gloomy, and his teeth were rattling, and those who knew him well could immediately see that the fat man was already tempted to make a move.
And there is only one reason why he hasn't done it before, that is, there are many people on the other side, and he is not sure of victory, but now with Jerry's arrival, he believes that it is enough.
Before the people on the other side could figure out what this meant, Jerry had already rushed out first.
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
Jerry has a famous quote in his memory that doesn't exist in this world, and it seems that he did exactly that, and went straight to Stanley as soon as he made a move.
Ten of the eleven people, including Stanley, were still in a daze, and only one of the blue-haired curly-haired men shouted a punch at Jerry, trying to push him back to rescue Stanley.
However, the corners of Jerry's mouth twitched slightly, and he just turned around and avoided his punch, and at the same time grabbed his wrist with a stretch of his hand.
The two faced each other all of a sudden, and the moment they looked at each other, Jerry's bright gaze made Curly Hair shudder, and he finally reacted that from the beginning, the other party's target was not Stanley, but him!
What is the king of thieves, of course, the most powerful one.
