When the first rays of morning light appeared in the east, Caesar opened his eyes punctually, then turned over and got out of bed, washed and tidied. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just today, the battle for the top 10 places in the selection for completion will begin.

If you enter the top ten, you can get the qualification to enter the Black Wing Battle, which is also the premise of the follow-up investigation and rescue plan. If you can't get into the top 10, then you can't talk about anything after that.

"So you're not going to the jousting scene with me?" Caesar asked, looking at Russell and a little strange.

In all the previous competitions, Russell would basically find a hidden corner and press Caesar on the spot.

After all, although Caesar's disguise is almost perfect, if there is a disciple-level figure who uses the eye of insight to investigate in person, there is still a possibility of seeing through it, and Russell's existence can ensure Caesar's basic safety.

Unexpectedly, in such a crucial battle today, Russell instead said that he would not go.

"So is there something urgent?" Caesar knew Russell's personality better, and he could faintly feel that this old man, who was always not very polite, was actually quite kind to him, so he knew that Russell could not be there, and there must be something more important that must be done today.

Russell sighed, still the same sentence as before: "The investigation on my side is also going on, specifically, let's talk about it when we enter the Black Wing Battle." ”

"Is it tricky?" asked Caesar.

"Pretty tricky. Russell paused, then continued, "I don't doubt you'll be in the top 10, as I said yesterday, if you can, try to get as high as you can." ”

Caesar smiled: "I know, but there's no need to repeat it, in order to save Teacher Lan and Kiki, I will definitely be the first." ”

Unexpectedly, Russell shook his head and said: "It's not to emphasize repeatedly, but to revise it - it's not enough to simply compete for the first, if you can, try to be the first." ”

Caesar was taken aback, and then frowned: "If you win the first place, it may be too dazzling, and if you don't make it, you will be summoned directly by the commander." ”

"The Grand Commander is not available right now. Russell said.

Caesar didn't know why Russell was so sure, probably because of the results of his investigation these days. Listening to Russell's words, Caesar nodded and said calmly: "Okay, then fight for the first." ”

Russell patted Caesar on the shoulder, then turned to go out the door, and his figure disappeared from Caesar's vision in a few flickering.

Caesar withdrew his gaze and carefully checked the final preparations, only to make sure that the disguise was still perfect, and then he took a breath and walked out of the door of the Moon Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he left the door, before he took the first step to the competition venue, Caesar was stunned, and then his face became serious, staring at a figure on the side of the road not far ahead.

It was a teenager about his own age, who even looked younger than himself, and was crouching under a street lamp on the side of the road with some boredom.

I don't know why, out of some kind of instinct that Caesar himself can't tell, he knows that the other party is waiting for him.

Caesar thought for a moment, and walked forward.

The boy looked at the same time, then stood up and asked simply, "Kassa?"

"Well, it's me. Are you?"

"Oh, introduce yourself, I'm Ze. The boy looked at Caesar and said.

Caesar raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. If I'm not mistaken, one of the two opponents I was about to face today was a battle mage named "Ze".

What is this guy looking for himself before the competition?

Aze didn't show his intention, just stared at Caesar up and down, and then asked directly, "Are you going to the venue together?"

Caesar was silent for a moment, regained his composure, and nodded generously: "Okay, let's go together." ”

Walking out of the Acropolis where the Moon Chamber of Commerce is located, and then entering the desert oasis, the two of them didn't speak along the way, just walked side by side, and those who didn't know might even think of them as passers-by who didn't know each other.

But in fact, Caesar really didn't know the other party, and he didn't know what the other party's purpose was to go with him.

Walking on the wide city road of the desert oasis, Aze was the first to speak: "I heard Barbara talk about you, and I am still a little curious when I think about it. I heard that answer from you: Fighting is fighting. ”

Caesar snorted and said, "So?"

"It's nothing. Aze waved his hand and said, "I don't mean anything special, it's just a personal habit, before a very important duel, I used to meet my opponent in advance, because I don't like the feeling of knowing what the opponent is like when I get on the court, and I am very out of control." ”

Caesar grabbed one of the adjectives in his words and asked, "Very important, is this contest so important to you?"

Aze smiled: "Of course." You don't know what this national selection is called......

"Selection for the sake of completion?" said Caesar, seemingly casually.

"Yes, it's just to make up for the selection. Aze's tone was a strange taste of sighing.

Caesar calculated, there was still some distance from the venue, he thought for a moment, and asked in as natural a tone as possible: "I've heard of this statement, but to be honest, I don't really understand the meaning......"

Caesar was personally involved in the previous Dragon Path mission, and the two things in the third layer of the Dragon Path were called "Complete" by the Battle Mage, and the other was called "Homecoming".

From that moment on, Caesar had a huge doubt in his mind, that is, was the battle mage incomplete?

Because only when it is incomplete in itself does it need to be complete, it needs to be complete.

If it is already perfect in itself, why should it be completed?

"Aren't we battle mages the most perfect professionals?" Caesar asked quietly, asking what he had been wondering all along.

Aze heard Barbara say that the Casa in front of him was from a fourth-level city, so he didn't doubt that he was there, but he just glanced at Caesar deeply and said, "You really don't know? ”

Caesar shook his head and said calmly, "I really don't know. ”

Aze sighed, and a well-hidden disdain flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by him.

I only heard him say in a rather indifferent tone: "It's nothing to tell you, anyway, sooner or later it will be announced to the public." You're right, of course, we battle mages are the most perfect professionals! But more than ninety percent of the people in the dynasty are not real battle mages. ”

Caesar listened carefully and did not answer.

Aze continued: "We came to this plane a hundred years ago to conquer it, but unfortunately in the final battle, something seemed to have gone wrong, so that we could not take the south immediately, but were blocked north of the Hengduan Mountains. But it's not a big problem, the real problem is: our back road is broken. ”

Caesar nodded, he had been in the north for a few days, and he had learned a lot about some basic common sense.

Battlemages are not natives of this world, but from a higher plane called Sendlo, who established their kingdom in this world and took root because they failed to complete the conquest, and on the other hand, because their path back to their homeland was cut off for some unknown reason.

In other words, the powerful Northern Battle Dynasty was actually some wandering battle mages trapped in this world.

“...... When you were a child, you received the 'blessing of the warrior', right?" At this time, Aze suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Caesar was stunned, as a wind and thunder mage, of course he had not accepted the blessing of the warriors, but this was also one of the common knowledge of the northern kingdom. All newborns receive this special blessing, which seems to be a custom in the northern country.

"Of course I've been blessed. Caesar lied without blushing and heartbeat, paused, and asked, "But why did you suddenly ask about this? The so-called blessing of the warrior is just a ritual." ”

"Ceremonies, of course...... No. Aze raised his voice slightly, with a smile on his face, "If you don't accept this blessing, I'm afraid you won't be able to live to this day." In fact, all battle mages born in this backward indigenous plane must accept the blessings of the warriors, or they will die!"

Caesar had a look of great surprise in his eyes, this time he was not pretending, he was really surprised, because he had never heard of such a statement.

Faintly, Caesar seemed to have caught something.

I only heard Aze continue: "To put it simply, a battle mage born in Sendelow is the perfect battle mage. And those born in this plane can only survive by receiving the blessings of the fighters, as well as the abilities of some battle mages. As far as I know, apart from the Grand Commander and the First Disciple, there are no more Sendlo-born battle mages in the dynasty. We're just half-finished products, that's why we have a completion plan. ”

Caesar was speechless.

To be honest, the impact of the other party's words was a bit big.

In this way, the opponents that the Wind Thunder Empire has been facing, the battle mages of the Northern Kingdom, who have been giving the south a great oppressive force a hundred years ago until today, are not their strongest postures?

At this moment, Caesar suddenly understood why Russell was so heavy these days.

He must have also investigated from some sources, about the true meaning of "completion",

If the Wind and Thunder Empire has been facing incomplete battle mages, then there is no need for much, as long as all the school-level figures of the Battle Dynasty make a supplement, then the south will be finished, and there will be no room for resistance at all.

"I ...... Before...... Never knew that. Caesar was silent for a long time, and finally exhaled and spoke in a difficult and low voice.

"You're from a fourth-tier city, so of course you won't know. Aze said lightly, "Even in the most central city of the dynasty, not everyone is qualified to know these things. ”

Caesar took a few deep breaths again, tried to adjust his mood, and asked, "Why are you telling me when few people are qualified to know?"

"Oh, because I feel sorry for you. "Desperately trying to come here from a fourth-tier city, desperately trying to get a winning streak with that speed, today is the most crucial and decisive competition, you will still fight desperately for the top ten, but you met me." Honestly, you're out of luck. ”

Caesar looked at the plain expression of the young man in front of him, and listened to the other party's emotionless tone, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

This is probably the kind of genius who has a high IQ but a low emotional intelligence, God has given them a strong talent, but it makes their minds different from ordinary people.

Dare to run to the venue early in the morning to find yourself to come to the venue, and say such a big thing, is it because you pity yourself?

What the hell is this logic?!

"Thank you. Caesar suddenly laughed.

"Thanks for what?" Aze frowned.

"Thank you for telling me the meaning of completion, honestly, I'm really grateful, this information is important to me. Caesar said earnestly, "But you were wrong about two things. ”

Aze's brows tightened, and he felt that the reaction of the country kid in front of him was not what he wanted, exceeding his expectations and judgments.

"Which two?" his voice lowered involuntarily.

Caesar raised his finger and smiled: "First, my previous winning streak was not obtained by 'desperate', you are not me, so please don't pretend that I used a little strength." ”

"Second ......" Caesar stopped, looked at the competition venue already in front of him, and said lightly, "I'm not here to compete for the top ten today, I'm here to win the first place." (To be continued.) )
