Hercules competitions are pure strength competitions, and any techniques that increase strength are not allowed. This red-eyed and irascible barbarian Hercules has obviously seriously violated the rules of the game, and should be directly judged to lose.

However, everyone in the castle hall turned a blind eye to the unusual appearance of the barbarian Hercules, and sent the red-eyed barbarian to the middle of the playing field with warm applause.

The referee stepped forward to check on the two finalists.

The referee was also blind, and after carefully examining the red-eyed barbarian, he declared him in normal physical condition and met the requirements of the game.

Then it's time to check Luke.

The inspection was more careful, and even the instrument was used to detect it.

Strictly speaking, Luke's use of arcane techniques to gain dragon blood is also cheating. But Luke's use of state-of-the-art equipment in Raging Waves City has not detected the impurity of his Terran bloodline, let alone the equipment of the Duke's Castle, which is many generations behind.

The barbarians are eager to prove that Luke's ability to enter the final battle of Hercules was due to the use of dishonorable means to cheat, thus denying the rumors that the Terrans are not weaker than the Barbarians at the root.

It can be recognized how the barbarian referee checked, and the Terran Hercules in front of him was an indisputable human being, not even of barbarian blood.

The helpless referee could only declare that Luke, the Terran Hercules, was in normal physical condition and met the requirements of the game.

He's going to lose anyway.

The referee announces that the two players are in their respective positions.

Luke slung the lever over his shoulder and glanced back at Baron Sergei.

At this time, Baron Sergei was already sweating profusely, and he didn't expect that Duke Celtic not only forced himself to buy Luke, but also dealt with Luke's opponents. Although I don't know what the crazy barbarian went through, his strength is definitely much, much stronger than what he gave ten days ago.

Can Mr. Luke still win against such an opponent?

If you lose, it's a different situation!

When Luke was looking around, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and the huge force that was pressed down instantly caused Luke's conditioned reflex, and his legs were almost at the same time, and his waist straightened to withstand the force of the downward pressure.

And said to the referee on the side: "You don't seem to have announced the start of the game yet, right?" ”

After all, the referee still had some professional ethics, and when he saw the red-eyed barbarian take the lead in attacking before he announced the start of the competition, he was ready to stop the game.

But the Duke of Celtic looked at him and made the referee immediately stop his action and say to Luke: "The game has begun!" ”

Now that he met the black whistle, Luke smiled: "You are the referee, you have the final say." ”

Then Luke launched a counterattack.

After the refining of the abyssal energy, his body had a great improvement from ten days ago. If you have such a wrestling opponent at that time, you may need to compete for stamina to win, and now Luke doesn't want to waste too much time in this kind of competition.

If it is delayed, who knows what other tricks the other party will make.

Luke steadied his stance and withstood the red-eyed barbarian's first burst of power. In the interval when the opponent adjusted his breathing and prepared to burst his strength for the second wave of attacks, Luke instantly exploded with all his strength.

The balance of the levers tilted with an unstoppable momentum, and even though the red-eyed barbarian resisted with all his might, and even the swollen veins burst, he still could not withstand the overwhelming momentum.

With the sound of bones breaking, the red-eyed barbarian sat on his knees, his head bowed and motionless...... I don't know life and death.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone stared blankly at the middle of the field, many of them were not ready, and the game was over.

Some people were still twisting their heads to talk, and then they looked back like this.

It's too fast!

And why is the situation in the field different from what you imagined?

The barbarian referee was equally dumbfounded, his eyes glazed over at the fallen barbarian, and his ears echoed the words of the Duke of Celtic to himself.

"This match is about the dignity and honor of the barbarians, and I believe that the barbarian Hercules, whom I have high hopes for, will win the match, and you must believe it too."

When the referee saw the red-eyed barbarian, he believed that he had won, but the result was ......

It's unbelievable.

Is this what people can do!

Luke lifted the lever to keep it at the standard height of victory, and asked the referee, who had not announced the result of the match for a long time, "How long do I need to keep this height?" You will declare me victorious! ”

The collapsed red-eyed barbarian did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he absolutely lost the ability to continue playing.

The referee looked at the Duke of Celtic, who really didn't dare to announce that humanity had won the championship Hercules.

The Duke's expression was unusually ugly, and if killing would solve the problem, he would not hesitate to kill this human who had humiliated himself.

However, since the result of the game has been produced, it cannot be changed. He can't kill everyone here, as long as someone leaves the ducal castle, the message that the human Hercules defeated the barbarian Hercules will be delivered.

Killing people not only doesn't solve the problem, but it also complicates it.

All sorts of countermeasures passed through the Celtic Duke's mind in a short time, and in the end he could only force out a smile and applaud.

The referee was relieved and announced loudly: "Congratulations to Luke, the Terran Hercules, for winning the final tiebreaker of the Hercules competition and becoming the champion of this year." ”

The Duke of Celtic took the lead in applauding, and the applause in the hall rang out for a moment.

The fallen barbarian Hercules is carried away by the soldiers, and the Duke of Celtic invites Luke to step forward and accept the gold belt that symbolizes the champion Hercules.

The Duke of Celtic put on the gold belt for Luke with his own hands, and then said, "I have something to say to you, come with me to the next room." ”

Luke replied, "Yes, Lord Duke." ”

The Duke of Celtic was also called Baron Sergei.

The three of them entered the room, the door closed, and the duke's own soldiers guarded it.

Duke Celtic put away his smile and asked with uncontrollable killing intent: "Can anyone give me an explanation for the result of the game?" ”

Baron Sergei immediately pretended to be annoyed and questioned Luke: "Mr. Luke, you promised me that I would lose the game, and you also received a check from me for 50 million Reichsmarks.

Why would you give me a contrarian result? ”

Facing the angry Duke of Celtic and Baron Sergei, Luke behaved very innocently: "I don't know what happened, according to the agreement I will let the game stalemate for a while to make the game more enjoyable, and finally try to stop and lose."

At the start of the match, my opponent attacked first, and I barely withstood the pressure. According to common sense, I should attack a wave and let his side sink to increase the suspense.

But who knew that guy was so useless, I tried to retract halfway, but it was too late. This is not at all the performance of a professional strongman, is the medicine that the Duke fed him excessive? ”

Luke put a black cauldron on the head of the Duke of Celtic, making Baron Sergei want to give him a thumbs up on the spot.

Now the pressure is on Lord Duke.

Lord Celtic's expression froze, and the killing intent instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Medicine, too much?"

"Definitely ate too much!" Luke reinforced, and took out the World Bank's check for 50 million Reichsmarks from his pocket: "I have received the money from Baron Sergei, and as an adventurer I will keep my promise, and there is no need for the Duke to let that poor barbarian Hercules take potions."

Seeing him like that, he almost lost his senses, and attacked with all his strength without waiting for the referee to announce the start of the game.

Of course, I also have a certain responsibility, and it is good to lose the game at that time. But didn't I want the game to be more like a game? And that's what it turned out to be.

I'm embarrassed to ask for any more money, so I'll ask the Baron to take it back. ”

Baron Sergei did not take the check, and said regretfully: "Mr. Luke has done something bad with good intentions. But ......"

Although Baron Sergei did not finish, the Duke of Celt knew that he was saying that he was doing too much and did not trust his loyalty.

Now the Duke of Celtic can't figure out what happened to this game.

Is it Luke and Sergey teaming up to pit themselves?

Or is the problem really on their side, they shouldn't let the barbarian Hercules take potions.

I'm afraid that even if he pulled the barbarian Hercules over, he couldn't explain it clearly.

The Duke of Celt looked at Baron Sergei and then at Luke, and saw nothing out of the ordinary, so he could only pretend to be a lake in this matter.

"Now that the results of the game are out, there is no point in pursuing any more. It's just that I originally planned to announce the lifting of the factory restrictions after the competition, but now it seems that I can only postpone it and find another opportunity. ”

Baron Sergei immediately said: "Lord Duke. We, the Terran merchants you trust, are all preparing for the lifting of factory restrictions. We sold all of our property to raise money, and a lot of the money for equipment and materials has been paid. In order to build factories as soon as possible to produce the supplies needed by the barbarian legions, we even borrowed a huge amount of foreign debt.

If you don't lift the factory restrictions, we'll go bankrupt immediately.

The next time you're ready to lift the factory restrictions, we may not be able to build a factory for you. ”

Luke said, "These days I live in the house of the barbarian merchant Lady Fikochik, who now has the most shops and workshops in the entire Holy Mountain, and she has even bought the best ironsmith workshop of Baron Sergei. ”

Sergei continued: "Mrs. Fekochik is a member of the barbarian Rocky family. If you don't lift the factory restriction this time, and wait for the next time it is lifted, the Boulder family will definitely not sell the shop workshop and build a factory for the Holy Mountain. ”

The Duke of Celtic didn't expect this night to be so tormented.

Those who buy the shops and workshops in the hands of the Terran merchants must be barbarians and nobles. If all the Terran merchants are bankrupt this time, even if the factory restrictions are lifted next time, no one will enforce them.

However, the production of the Terran champion Hercules this time has no less impact on the entire Tedgar Hills than the lifting of the factory restrictions.

The shackles of the Tedgar Hills have been opened, and it is impossible to give them a certain amount of space to exert their abilities, and to restrain them in the future.

But the pressure brought by the imperial army forced him to release the power of the human race.

"Sergey, you go out first. I have something I would like to talk to Mr. Luke about alone. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke!"

Baron Sergei withdrew, leaving only Luke and Celt in the room.

Celt observed Luke, and after a while, said, "I want the Storm Barbarian Magic Transformation Technique, you can make an offer." ”

After several days of testing at the Duke's Castle, the Storm Barbarians found no signs of decay, indicating that this was a constant magical transformation.

Combined combat effectiveness, the Storm Barbarians are enough to compete with the Blood Oath Barbarians. And because the Storm Barbarian can manipulate wind energy, it is more practical in some situations than the Bloodoath Barbarian who simply increases his strength.

In the case that the production of the Bloodoath Barbarians has not been able to be raised, the Storm Barbarians are a very good supplement. If the Storm Barbarians are productive, Duke Celtic doesn't mind replacing the Bloodoath Barbarians to reduce their reliance on the Abyss Temple.

Now that the Terrans are unstoppable, the Duke of Celts is even more imperative against the Storm Barbarians.

Therefore, Celtic's tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

Luke replied, "Lord Duke, the Abyss Temple also wants the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology. For exclusive enjoyment, the Apostle Victor also made me a sacrifice to the abyss. ”

To prove his word, Luke took out the sacrificial badge he had just received.

Hearing that the Abyss Temple even wanted the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology, and even had it exclusively, Duke Celtic immediately understood the thoughts of the Apostle Victor.

The Abyssal Temple is now a mess inside, and what they can offer the Barbarian Legion is completely sorry for the funding given to them by the Duke's Castle.

The appearance of the Storm Barbarians is a serious threat to the status of the Abyss Temple, and it is also an opportunity to improve its status.

With exclusive access to Storm Barbarian technology, the Abyss Temple will definitely ask for more funding.

Duke Celtic asked, "You gave the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology to the Abyss Temple?" ”

"Nope!" Luke put away the sacrificial badge, "I want to sell this technique to you, Lord Duke, and you will definitely give me a very good price and allow me to leave the Tedgar Hills safely with the money." ”

Duke Celtic nodded comfortably: "Only if I don't worry about the spread of the storm barbarian transformation technology, I won't kill you." You're smart, let's negotiate the price now. ”

Duke Celtic thought that the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology had arrived, but he didn't think about Luke and said, "The Apostle Victor wants me to wait two days before giving you this technology." ”

The duke frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"The Abyss Temple is preparing for an Abyss Descending, Lord Duke should know about this."

"Know! The Apostle Victor reported to me that the death of the four apostles had caused a heavy blow to the Abyss Temple, so they wanted to use this abyss advent to elevate the four apostles to fill the void. ”

Luke said, "The Abyss will come in these two days, and the Apostle Victor has given me one of the apostles on the condition that my deal with you, Lord Duke, be delayed for two days. ”

"What does this condition have to do with the coming of the abyss?"

Luke shrugged: "I don't know, after all, I don't understand the abyss." But the Apostle Victor seems to be convinced that as long as I accept the Abyss Transformation, I will definitely reject all your conditions and give him the Storm Barbarian technology. ”

Abyss!

The Duke of Celtic suddenly had a sense of crisis.

The Abyss Apostles are a bunch of madmen who can do anything!
