Master Kuigang and Ezio walked into Mr. Yankee's room, and the two of them chose a remote place to sit down.
Ezio asked, "Something went wrong with my mission?" Ezio said in an inquiring tone, but the determined look in his eyes indicated that he already knew the answer.
Kui Gang nodded helplessly: "I think you should know that the speaker is old and has already intended to retire." There has been a storm in the Shadow Council, and many factions have begun to compete for the position of Speaker. ā
Ezio couldn't help frowning and said, "Apparently you were also implicated, that's why someone reached out to me?"
Kui Gang stood up and paced lightly: "That's right, you should understand that after the Speaker leaves, a seat will be vacated in the Shadow Council, and I am a member of the Council handpicked by the Speaker. This changed in the eyes of other parliamentarians. So I didn't intend to wade into this muddy water, but unfortunately, the dirty water splashed itself. In the alliance, you and I have the best relationship, and they don't dare to attack me blatantly, so they point the finger at you. ā
Kui Gang said, turned on the processor on his wrist, and the virtual screen turned on, and the picture kept flashing on it: "This is the surveillance video of the shadow." On the second day of your mission, a master left with his disciples, and I checked his route, and although it was a big circle, the final location was the Decay Forest. ā
Ezio couldn't help but stand up, "Who is he?"
"I'd love to find out, but it's the only piece of information I can find!" Kui Gang said, touching his beard, "Obviously, someone doesn't want us to know more." So the failure of your mission this time makes sense. ā
Ezio couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really ridiculous to use this method in order to deliberately sabotage my mission. Emot's rampage, it's really a shame that they came up with it. ā
"That thing is weird, you really don't know where it went?" asked Kui Gang with a solemn expression.
"If I find it, I'll definitely hand it over as soon as possible. The reward for this task is very objective. Esther said earnestly.
"The problem now is that, as a Shadow Master, mission failure isn't such a ridiculous thing. Kui Gang said with a little concern, "Shadow has always focused on mission completion rates, and now it is in turbulent times. So you'll not be able to access these high-paying top-tier quests for a long time to come. ā
Ezio waved his hand helplessly: "It's just right, I can take a good look at my new disciple." ā
"In short, be careful. Quigang patted Ezio on the shoulder, "I'll take a stand in the upcoming Shadow Council." ā
"Maybe you should fight. ā
"Forget it......"
According to the holographic map recorded on the identity chip, East walked to the fourth area, the virtual battle zone. As Ezio said, what Esther needed most now was to lay a good foundation, and before the first practice, he needed to improve his abilities as much as possible.
As soon as he entered the area marked with the large number "4", Esther heard a burst of excited shouts. He looked at it and was a little stunned for a moment.
It's a huge square that seems to have no edge. Floating above the square are virtual fighting arenas. The base of the arena is equipped with a shaped reactor, which can keep the huge arena suspended in the air and remain still. A semi-circular energy shield rises around the arena to prevent both sides of the fight from getting too involved and spreading to others. The ground of the fighting arena is only a dozen meters, and a huge virtual screen stands under each arena. There was a crowd of people in front of the screen, shouting excitedly. In the center of the screen is a battle scene in the arena, and at the bottom are two columns, red and blue. The figure keeps rising and falling, while the top is beating with huge numbers.
"This is the place to place bets, and if you are interested, you can make a lot of money here. Esther turned around and saw the sturdy boy of 1.9 meters standing beside him at some point.
"My name is Luther, and you can call me by my nickname, Iron Mountain. The sturdy boy held out his hand.
East smiled and said, "I'm Easter." Nice to meet you. When the two of them clasped their hands together, Esther was surprised to see that the purple-gold force in his body was boiling, and the other party also looked at Esther in surprise.
After letting go of his hand, Luthor couldn't help asking, "You also belong to the side of the light?"
"I don't know where I belong now. Thinking about the darkness in his body and the purple-gold Force, Esther could only smile bitterly.
"It's okay, at least it doesn't affect us being friends, does it?" Luthor said with a smile.
"Why did you choose me?" asked East, puzzled, "I mean, we don't know each other, so why are you sure we can be friends?"
Luthor smiled, "Because here, only we can be friends." Naga's girl is too strong, so strong that she doesn't need friends or teammates at all. And the red boy is too gloomy, and always likes to be alone. Come to think of it, only the two of us are more normal, of course we want to be friends. You see, the first practice is the most dangerous. ā
Esther couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you say that?"
"You know, the four of us are appointed apprentices. The four of them, Master Quegang, Master Ezio, Master Nataxia, and Master Baia, have high expectations for us. While this is good news, it is also a red flag. Luther said seriously, "The first time you practice, you are allowed to have casualties. So many times, these young disciples who are not chosen will gather and besiege us. In the past disciple practice, there have been more than one case of the so-called genius falling. Although we are strong, it is good to deal with two or three, once we encounter a team that cooperates tacitly, even Naga may not be able to retreat with all their bodies. ā
Saying this, Luther paused: "So, we need to team up." ā
"I'm weak. Esther looked at Luthor and said seriously, "I've only been in contact with the world of the Force for a few days, and sometimes you and I are teammates, and it's very likely that you're a burden. ā
Luthor smiled slightly, and he took a deep breath, "The Force guides me to stand here. And I trust my instincts, we have three more days, at least in those three days, I can make some changes for you. ā
"For example?"
"The most basic training!"
Luthor led East to the innermost level of the Virtual Arena, which was too deserted compared to the excitement outside. In the corner, a small arena was perched to the ground. Luther stepped forward, pulled out ten silver coins, and threw them in.
Then he and Esther walked to the center of the arena.
"Whether or not to start martial arts practice. An electronic speaker sounded.
"Of course, go into self-selected mode. Luthor said with ease.
I saw that the base of the fighting arena suddenly moved, and then slowly rose into the air, and a transparent energy shield swayed around it.
"It's a training ground for young kids, although it's a bit expensive. But there's something good about it. As he spoke, Luthor saw a platform slowly rising in the center of the arena, and Luthor beckoned Easter to come over, he turned on the virtual screen and said, "This has the most basic combat skills that Shadow provides." Covering melee and ranged, pick one you're interested in, but my build yƬ is to choose melee epee trifecta, I looked at your table at the time of testing, and the ranged ability is already very good. You're short of melee!"
Ista nodded, and set his sights on the basic course, the Epee Triple Link.
At this moment, a weapon rack rose from the outskirts of the arena, and Luthor stepped forward to take two alloy swords and then tossed one to Easter.
"The so-called heavy sword is accurate and ruthless. The meaning of the emphasis is to kill the enemy with a sword!" Luthor finished speaking, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and with a low shout, the long sword suddenly slashed down, and although he was standing in the distance, Esther could still feel a fierce murderous aura rushing towards him.
Then Luthor took a step forward, and the sword slashed diagonally, and the next moment he moved again, and the sword slashed out horizontally!
The three movements were done in one go, and East felt as if a mountain had crashed into it!
"Triple Epee - Vertical Slash, Diagonal Slash, Horizontal Slash! There are only three movements that can be varied in a thousand ways, as long as you can skillfully use these three movements, your basic exercises will be completed. ā
In this way, Esther made his first friend after entering the Shadows. Although Esther didn't know much about Luther, the Force guided them and made them trust each other, just as they had said. And East is slowly beginning to agree with this statement, the Force is really a wonderful power!
In the following time, East began to study seriously. Don't look at Luther's five big and three thick, but his mind is extremely meticulous, he will record every mistake of Esther in detail, and then correct them one by one during the break. At this time, Esther seemed to see a familiar shadow, it was his captain - Kane.
And just like that, the dull day passed, and Esther and Luthor made an appointment for tomorrow's practice before returning to their lodgings. The cubs' accommodation is not good but definitely not bad, the only problem is that each dormitory is a double room. And when East pushed the door and walked into his dormitory, he saw his roommate, and the next moment he couldn't help but shiver.
The roommate who sat on the edge of the bed and closed his eyes turned out to be the red boy. At this moment, the temperature in the entire dormitory seemed to have dropped to freezing, and Esther even felt a little stiff.
"I'm sorry, but I can't control my power at night. The red boy opened his eyes, and his blood-colored eyes looked at Esther calmly, "I'll try to suppress it, but it's going to be a little cold at night." ā
Esther smiled reluctantly, unlike what he had seen, the red boy was very polite, and after saying these words, he closed his eyes again.
After Esther closed the electronic door, he walked to his bed and lay down, feeling the chill in the air, he looked at the red boy and said, "My name is East, it's nice to meet you." ā
"Scarelli, you can call me the Ice Serpent!"
