"The bet is tomorrow's hunt."

"Whoever hunts the most steppe wolves wins."

"If I win, you're going to tear up the contract. Of course, I will help you pay the liquidated damages and give you another 500,000 soles. ”

"And if you win, I'll do as you say, and I won't get near her again!"

Arthur stared at Roy.

He knew Roy's details—it was only a first-order moon shadow.

Although he is also a first-order, in terms of actual combat, the combat power of the first-order sword cultivation is much higher than that of the first-order Moon Shadow.

He can rely on the first-order skill of sword cultivation "Steel Breaking Technique" to kill the steppe wolf in one blow, while Moon Shadow can only "speed" at the first order, and it is not easy to kill the steppe wolf.

The characteristics of each lineage are different, and different inheritors have different periods of strength at different levels, and Moon Shadow will not gradually become stronger until at least the second level learns "stealth".

And sword cultivation, after mastering the talent "Sword Mastery" and the "Steel Breaking Technique", which can be called an early divine skill, is also at the level of first-order strength, and its offensive ability is among the best among the eighteen inheritances.

He was confident of winning the bet.

I saw Roy stretch out two fingers.

"There are two loopholes in this bet."

"First, the rules are not perfect. The steppe wolf must be killed by you and me personally, hiring others, and killing by mending knives is not counted. ”

"Second, the rewards are not equal. Arya is my maid, and it's a matter of course that you don't get close to her, so how can it be a reward for coming to you? ”

"So you agreed?" Arthur couldn't help but show a sneer, "The rules can be done as you say, as for the reward, what do you want?" ”

"Super doubled." Roy looked at him with a smirk.

"Huh?"

"If I win, you're going to pay me a million soles. And, since there is a gambling contract, there must be a notary. The hunt was organized by the Qin family, and the gambling contract should also be witnessed by the Qin family. ”

He wasn't worried that the Qin family would favor Arthur.

Arthur did a lot of hard work for Qin Xiang, but there were more people who befriended the Qin family.

The more famous the family, the more important it is to its reputation, and this bet has no conflict of interest with the Qin family, and it is impossible to cheat for Arthur.

After all, the world of the inheritor is cruel, and as long as he can show the value of not losing to Arthur, he will naturally be favored by others.

"Then it's a deal!" Arthur gritted his teeth.

The million-dollar bet made him feel a little unsure, but he didn't think he was going to lose the bet.

He already had experience in hunting steppe wolves.

As long as you don't lose, even if it's a 10 million bet, what's the matter?

Moreover, Arya is his obsession.

Every boy has an obsession with his first love, even if his feelings for Arya are no longer pure.

It's more of a vindictive mentality, and a naked possessiveness.

Arya was in front of him, and he didn't want to give up this unique opportunity.

After making an appointment, Roy took Arya back to the carriage.

Arya's eyes were full of worry.

Roy soothed her and spoke his mind.

Everyone knows that with Arthur's stubborn personality, just verbal warnings can't stop him from making small moves in secret.

The Arnold family is not strong at the moment, and Roy doesn't want to involve his father Renault, so he has to put this matter on the table to solve it.

So, he had to accept the bet.

For the inheritors, the most direct way to solve the problem is to show their own force.

At the same time, with the Qin family as a notary, he guaranteed that Arthur would not break his promise.

As for losing?

Just kidding, with a double inheritance, when he faces opponents of the same level, it is equivalent to having double the spiritual power and double the inheritance skills!

At the same time, the two legacies of Moon Shadow and Judgment can also complement each other's strengths.

Moon Shadow's "Body Control" and "Swiftness" compensate for the Judgment's mobility, and the Judgment's "Eye of Insight" and "Consciousness Acceleration" strengthen Moon Shadow's frontal combat ability.

In the face of a single inheritor, the advantage of a double inheritor is overwhelming.

What's more, Roy began to prepare for his future battles in the year he awakened to become an inheritor.

In the past three years, he has made a large number of practical props for this purpose - there is no saying that props are not allowed in the gambling contract.

Originally, when he participated in the hunt, he had the intention of testing his actual combat ability, but now Arthur sent it to the door, giving him a million for nothing, and at the same time solving Arya's problem.

Three birds with one stone.

However, the only point of this bet that made him hesitate was the bet.

The bet is Arya.

There are some things that cannot be measured by money and reason, and these things are often more precious.

For example, feelings.

Roy knew that if he didn't explain why, even if he won in the end, there might still be a gap between them.

He didn't want Arya to feel like he was using her as a tool for a purpose.

"I promise you, Arya, I won't lose." He said.

"I trust you."

Looking at his solemn expression, Arya sneered.

"I always feel that the young master has been helping me and protecting me, just like a knight."

Roy also laughed: "Then you are my Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The carriage drove back to Arnold's house, and Roy pulled Arya out of the carriage, only to see that Harvey had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

When he saw Arya dressed in a brand-new maid outfit, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then gave Roy a thumbs up wordlessly.

Thank you for your hospitality!

"Sorry, I waited."

Roy walked over and saw a black box on the table.

The black box was about a meter long and fifty centimeters wide, and when Roy saw it, he immediately understood what it contained.

Harvey bowed slightly: "I've already brought things for you, you can inspect the goods." ”

Roy took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and slowly opened the black box.

Inside the black box lay a pitch-black composite crossbow, a drawing, and an arrow box containing five crossbow arrows.

This drawing is the final draft of the spiritual power compound crossbow that he and Master John finalized, and you only need to refer to the drawings to roughly grasp the use of this crossbow.

Roy picked up the crossbow and examined it closely.

The bowstring is taut and fixed between the two pulleys of the crossbow, and the bow has been fully tightened, and it fits the crossbow arm in an exaggerated arc, like a loaded pistol, and it can pour out unparalleled power in an instant.

What caught his eye the most was the way the crossbow was wound, which Master John had improved by adding a psychic mechanism, changing it from a torsion winding to a bolt winding.

Combined with a sniper scope mounted on the crossbow arm......

There's a bolt sniper inside smell.

There is also a small pendant on the crossbow body, which is used to carry the arrow box, and there are a total of five crossbow arrows in the arrow box, all of which are enchanted spiritual crossbow arrows, as long as the arrow body is not damaged and deformed, it can be reused.

The more Roy looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down, and Harvey pouted on the side, but the envy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Men naturally like all kinds of weapons, especially this spiritual power compound crossbow, the performance is not to mention for the time being, the appearance is absolutely stylish.

Even if it's a toy, he wants to order one and keep it at home.

However, when he thought of the cost of this crossbow, it was obviously only a low-grade spiritual weapon, but it was sold at a price close to that of a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and he still sighed depressedly.

His pocket money this year has long been overdrawn.

"This crossbow is pitch black, and the way it is wound is like a bolt-action rifle, so let's call it a black sniper!"

Roy played with it for a long time, and then reluctantly put it away.

He went back to the room to change into a strong suit, then picked up the black box and nodded to Harvey: "Let's go!" ”

The two of them got into the carriage and galloped in the direction of the World Tree.

"I suspect you now that you are the illegitimate child of my family."

Harvey snorted and said, "Last night I told my dad that you were going to come to my ranch as a guest, and he didn't say a word, just let me pick a thoroughbred horse for you as a welcome gift!" ”

Roy was a little embarrassed, although he understood that as the inheritor, it was normal for the Rudolph family to want to befriend him.

But the black sniper Harvey gave him hasn't even touched the heat yet, and this time he's going to give him the Erlan thoroughbred.

The favor owed is not a little bit.

So he said seriously: "You have helped me pay the bills in advance, my uncle has already helped me a lot, how can I take advantage of you again!" ”

Harvey was happy: "What are you polite to me?" I'll tell you, my dad is actually famous for picking on doors, and since he likes you so much, it would be better to pick up some wool from him. Mounts are a necessity, and you'll come to my house to buy them sooner or later anyway. ”

Roy sighed, "You can't say that. ”

Even if Harvey really just has pure good intentions, he has his own bottom line.

There is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again, the black sniper's favor has not been repaid, and this time he can't continue to accept gifts from them.

The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the World Tree.

"Really...... It's huge! ”

Standing at the foot of the World Tree, Roy craned his neck and sighed heartily.

Its trunk is tens of meters in diameter and extends upwards into the sky hundreds of meters high, and its leaves are evergreen all year round and never wither.

This World Tree is the lifeblood of all Sidnia, and without it, humanity would still be wandering on the continent of Eden, unable to find its own home.

"Don't look at it, in the future, we will graduate from the Inheritor Academy, and we will come to attack this world tree every day, no matter how beautiful it is, we will get tired of looking at it." Harvey laughed.

The Inheritors are the top combat power of Sidney, and their only mission for hundreds of years has been to conquer the World Tree and conquer all the small worlds in the World Tree.

Because the last message that God left to mankind before leaving the continent of Eden was to guide them to attack the World Tree.

Legend has it that when humans conquer the last small world of the World Tree, the gates of the divine realm will be opened.

Humans who have entered the divine realm will be immortal, their souls will live forever, and they will have eternal life.

Although I don't know if this legend is true or not, for thousands of years, the inheritors of Sidneya have been attacking the upper worlds of the World Tree from generation to generation, and they are indeed working in this direction.

"Is this where I will end up in the future......?"

Imprinted the behemoth in his mind, Roy followed Harvey into the entrance to the World Tree.
