Chapter 464: Core Disciple Challenge
With Midi's understanding of Verna, the other party was able to bear to refuse even the Ice Lotus Elixir, and undoubtedly longed for something more valuable.
And as long as Midi agrees, presumably, she can also learn more about the secrets of the Crystal Dragon Castle from Verna.
However, Midi also knew very well that since it was something that the Black Dragon High Priest of the Death Scorpion Family wanted, it would never be easy to get it.
Not to mention the difficulty of the Crystal Dragon Castle as a relic, the competition between the genius elites from the major families alone was enough to make Midi cautious.
If you're not careful, you may even put yourself in it directly.
So, until he really knows the specific details, he will definitely not make any guarantees lightly.
"I'm going to say a bad thing, I have to know all the details before I can give an answer. Midi replied quietly, "And, before discussing this matter, the most important thing for the moment is to defeat Kanis." ”
"I'm sure you won't let me down. Verna smiled seductively again.
The Black Dragon High Priest quietly left the alchemy workshop, leaving the pensive Midi alone.
Early the next morning, the challenge of the core disciples, which had been rumored in the Death Scorpion family, finally kicked off.
In fact, the challenge itself is fairly simple.
As long as the Black Dragon Priest is present, after the two sides have made a blood oath, they can immediately enter the arena to compete and determine the winner.
However, after all, this is a challenge to determine the qualifications of the Mosoblay City fighters, and there are all kinds of entanglements of interests involved in it both clearly and secretly.
Not only that, but as a human being, Midi is also a master alchemist in pharmacy and mechanics, coupled with the strong rise in the past two weeks, and even the close interaction with Verna, which has become something that the dark elves want to get to know up close.
Who called Kanis to also pursue Verna during this time?
Although most people are not optimistic about Midi, since it is the talent recruited by the stern martial arts chief Hawke, it should not be a problem to survive a few rounds under Kanis.
So, this challenge is not only about interests, but also about a lot of highlights.
All kinds of factors are intertwined, and before the real battle sides arrive, the arena within the Death Scorpion family is already full.
"I didn't expect there to be such a big show. When Midi finally arrived in the arena, he was slightly surprised.
Of course, more than ninety percent of these viewers are unfamiliar faces to Midi.
However, just by virtue of the powerful Cheng Dù and the sharpness of the aura emanating from his body, Midi was able to easily distinguish the location of several strong people from the crowd.
The strongest, of course, are the deacons and elders who are in charge of presiding over this challenge.
Secondly, there is Midi's immediate boss, the Alchemy Elder, and the Law Enforcement Elder who wants to see Midi's death.
Of course, the aura of the Black Dragon High Priest who entered with Midi was also admirable.
However, in addition, on the box on one side, Midi also felt two strange but powerful aura, which was firmly locked on him at the moment.
He looked up and immediately saw two dark elves, a man and a woman.
The two dark elves each occupied a corner, and no one around dared to approach them.
The woman was a gunsmith with a large hand cannon at his side, and the man, dressed in black with a blade hidden behind his back, was clearly an assassin.
They stood proudly outside the crowd, like lone wolves hunting, exuding an aura that made people feel cold on their backs.
"That's?" said Midi, frowning slightly.
"The core of the family, the male one is an assassin, ranked fourth, called Nimes, and the female one is a gunsmith, ranked third, called Akdina. On the side, Verna replied lightly.
Most of the core children of the family usually don't see the head of the dragon, and they either practice in a specific area with a high concentration of dark magic for a long time, or they are outside to perform difficult tasks to earn contribution points.
Even an arrogant guy like Kanis rarely stays in the cave except for circling around Verna.
But this time, the two core children ranked third and fourth actually appeared at the same time, just to watch such a challenge.
The fourth-ranked Assassin is a level 64 master, and the third-ranked gunsmith is a level 65 master......
Midi quickly assessed the strength of the two.
All of them are a cut above Kanis, and there's no doubt that rank isn't their only advantage.
"Are these two core disciples here trying to test my means?" said Midi.
But the next moment, Verna's mocking expression immediately made Midi realize that she was thinking too much.
Obviously, the two core disciples did come to watch the battle, but they definitely didn't want to see Midi, who was only level 62, but Kanis, who was also a member of the core disciples.
"I really didn't expect you to come, Akdina. The pale Assassin Nim glanced at the gunsmith who was ten meters away from him, and said in a strange manner.
Akdina, whose name was called, just snorted coldly and mocked: "I'm just curious, what kind of awakening has Kanis's bloodline power reached, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before he surpasses you, right?"
"Hmph......" was poked in the sore spot by the other party, and Nim, who was originally born with an ugly face, sank his face even more at this moment.
You must know that there is also competition between the five core disciples, and every other ranking, the priority is one level lower.
In other words, whatever the fifth place does, it must be ranked after the fourth place.
For example, if Kanis, who is ranked fifth, wants to use a vein, and Nimes, who is ranked fourth, wants to use it, then the vein will be given to Nim for use without any time limit.
He could even take it forever as long as he wanted to, while Kanise had no choice but to wait.
That's the scary thing that comes with prioritization.
He will make you a head lower than the person you want to beat, always one step behind, never able to catch up, and thus become a "one step away" that cannot be crossed.
Therefore, each of the five core children is extremely sensitive to rankings.
Since Kanis possesses the powerful bloodline power of the "Iron Scorpion", his true strength cannot be measured by obvious ranks, but must be evaluated by actual calculations.
Therefore, as soon as Kanes heard that he was going to have a challenge match with someone this time, Nimes, who ranked fourth, immediately came over in order to get a glimpse of the opponent's strength.
It's just that after seeing Midi, who is only level 62, Nim was immediately disappointed.
"I originally heard that Hawke recruited a ruthless character, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary level 62 ghost swordsman. Nim shook his head, "Although it is indeed not easy for a human to survive in the Dark Regions, it is impossible to challenge the core child of the Death Scorpion, he will definitely be smashed into pieces by Kanis." ”
"Not necessarily. "Don't forget, although this kid is only level 62, he is still an alchemist who has refined seventh-level potions, and recently, it is said that he has taken a place in the mechanical workshop, and that technomaniac Buck is full of praise for him." ”
"So?" Nim wondered, would these non-combat skills help the current challenge?
"So, I don't think the elders will watch him die, and of course, it will be impossible to defeat Kanis. "Anyway, Nimes, you can't see what you want." ”
The gunsmith, who ranks third in the core of the family, has obviously learned how to look at problems from the height of the "family".
Because, as she said, the higher-ups of the Scorpion of Death were also preparing for Midi's defeat.
"Midi won't be Kanis's opponent, but we can't let this person die in this kind of place, please concentrate on it, and the three of us will have to work together to save the person in a critical moment. "The deacon elder who was in charge of presiding over this challenge spoke directly to the alchemy elders and law enforcement elders on the left and right in the form of magic communication.
The alchemy elder nodded immediately, after all, Midi's storage zài was equivalent to greatly increasing the value of the alchemy workshop and mechanical workshop under his command, and he naturally hoped that Midi was alive.
On the other end, although the boss of the law chief had a face, he finally nodded.
Although he doesn't like Midi very much, compared to the interests of the family, what can a little love be counted?
"Elder Law Enforcement, you have to think about it a little. On the side, the deacon elder smiled slightly, and persuaded him, "This time, the head of the family gave Midi a chance, which is equivalent to selling a big favor. And if we can take action at the critical moment and save Midi, it is equivalent to adding favor to human favor, and when the time comes, what potion will he refine and what weapon he will design, won't they all be captured?"
"Hmph, of course I know, when the time comes, I will do my best, I just hope that this human kid will not be killed as soon as he comes up. The law enforcement elder narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Viewers are looking forward to seeing humanity in battle, win or lose.
The core children are looking forward to seeing humanity test the details of Kanis, whether they are alive or dead.
The elders, on the other hand, looked forward to the greater benefits of Guòmidi's defeat.
All kinds of thoughts are surging back and forth in this arena, like a large net full of gloom and indifference.
It's just that for Midi, this qiē is not a problem.
As long as the sword in his hand is still there, he can move forward to cut through a piece of heaven and earth.
"Are you ready?" Midi asked calmly as he stepped into the arena, which was covered with white sand, and looked at the heavily armored black dragon knight on the opposite side.
