Ariel was a little silent when asked about the key points.

It's a fact that once they take him, that team is destined to be in a natural headwind in the tournament, and even risk being kicked back as soon as they arrive in Nanta City.

He said a little uncomfortably, "There are already elves in your team, so it shouldn't cause their malice. ”

"Don't hit my name." Xiren reminded him: "Stupid lion, take a closer look, do I look like a normal elf?" ”

"......" After he mentioned this, Ariel realized that the elf in front of him did not have any magic fluctuations.

Elves are not like humans, they have no need to hide their magical aura...... Unless, he's a special elf with no talent.

Ariel's eyes darkened, but unexpectedly, he didn't grasp Xiren's pain point and began to mock.

He just silently turned his head and looked at Li Li.

"I just need you to take me to this tournament, and I'll do the rest alone. I don't need your academy to give me anything, and after the competition, I will also withdraw from the Heavenly Sword Sect, so you don't have to worry about any of my intentions. ”

Although Ariel's voice was low, the confidence and pride implied in it were very obvious.

"Come on."

Collins complained mercilessly on the side: "You were restrained by my sister with one hand just now, don't pretend now, right?" And my brother hasn't competed in the first four years, and if nothing happens this year, he will definitely go to Nanta City, do you think you can beat him and the Children of Light? ”

Ariel: "......"

Why can such a round mouth say such sharp words?

After motioning for Yao Tan to give Ariel another antidote, Li Li squinted slightly and asked one last question.

"What's the prize for the first place?"

Ariel's face suddenly turned unpleasant, and he stared at Li Li deadly: "How do you know?" ”

"I'm not stupid."

Li Li said coldly: "You want to participate in the competition in Nanta City by all means, it is definitely impossible for you to just naively want to prove that orcs are stronger than elves, that is something that only fools do." ”

Yao Tan took Li Li's words, smiled and continued: "And under the nose of Nanta City, it is impossible for you to do something dangerous like undercover, more importantly, in the past few years, the □□ of demonic beasts has been frequent, and the East Tower City is separated by the middle of your two tower cities, so it is impossible to go to war directly." ”

Collins also laughed, shook his wand, and said leisurely: "So what attracts you is definitely the contest itself, in other words, the prize of this contest...... But what is the prize that can make the little duke of the lion clan in Beita City lose their minds and be willing to take risks? I'm also curious. ”

"The resources of North Tower City are not barren, and the Lionheart family should get whatever they want."

Xiren lowered his eyes and looked at him with a complicated expression, "So what you want is probably something that is unique to Nanta City, and it is the rarest of things." ”

"Are you curious about why we know? Do you suspect that Li Li used soul magic to spy on your heart? Collins pointed at Li Li, and then pointed his finger at Yao Tan in the far corner.

"As early as when you entered East Tower City and had nothing to do but let Cell lead you around the Ares Battle Academy, he was idle, so he deduced that you might want to join the Ares Battle Academy and go to South Tower City to win some special items."

Yao Tan smiled shyly, looking innocent.

"Oh yes, we already know about the tournament, after all, I'm Ulysses' brother! It's just that Nanta City is too far away, and we really don't worry about these old men at home, so we haven't decided whether to apply or not. Collins laughed and gave Sikong Ember a flying kiss to Uncle Wang.

At this moment, Ariel finally put away all his contempt for the Heavenly Sword Sect team in front of him.

He looked at the four of them with a solemn expression, and a sense of frustration and strange pleasure that he had never felt before came to his heart at the same time.

It's been a long time since I've had this feeling of meeting a competitor among my peers.

The room fell silent.

Ariel's eyes were lowered, and he looked at Li Li's right hand, which was no different from that of an ordinary person.

He suddenly spoke: "You have only used your left hand since just now, and you also chose to use your leg when you restrained me, not because of combat habits, but because your right hand is injured, right?" ”

Then, Ariel's gaze moved to Sikong Ash's empty lower limbs, but he didn't mention his broken leg, but only turned back and asked Li Li meaningfully.

"Perhaps, you also want to give the people you care about a new lease of life?"

Li Li frowned, not understanding what Ariel was trying to say.

However, hearing this, Xiren's face suddenly changed, and he stepped forward sharply and stared at Ariel tightly.

"Are you sure it's going to be the prize this time?!"

"Sure." Ariel seemed to have expected the elf to hear something strange, and he just tilted his head back slightly uncomfortably, avoiding getting too close to the overly stunning face.

"But it's the treasure treasured by the elves, and it only produces a little bit every year...... How could it be taken out as a prize for the competition! Xiren was obviously a little emotionally unstable.

Ariel said in a flat tone, "I don't know the reason, but you have to believe that the Lionhearts still have the ability to spy on these little news in advance." ”

He paused, his deep voice raising a little.

"If I get the jackpot, I'll only get one-fifth, and the rest will be yours."

Li Li listened and wondered, one fifth? How would this jackpot be divided if it was a magic item or a scroll with terrible magic sealed in it, and should it be cut into five pieces?

However, before she could speak, Xiren over there had already taken a step back and looked deeply at Sikong Ash's broken leg.

Then, he said firmly: "Okay, deal!" ”

The other three were stunned, and none of them objected.

Seeing this, Ariel raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your teammates don't seem to know what it is, and you don't ask for their opinions?" ”

"Although Xiren is not smart, he will not do stupid things easily, and there must be a reason for him to say this." Yao Tan said gently.

Collins scratched his head: "Isn't it just going away to Nanta City?" It's a big deal, I'll take all the people to the Thorn Rose family to protect them first. ”

Li Li bowed his head indifferently: "They are right. ”

"......" Ariel's expression was a little complicated.

Just now, these people could still think so far based on a little clue, but now they go along with their teammates' resolutions without saying a word, without considering the pros and cons.

Aren't humans the most profit-oriented race?

Xiren endured the smug smile that he couldn't suppress, and said seriously to everyone: "The thing he said is a god-level treasure of the elf clan, and it is said that it can give people a new life and cure all diseases and disasters——"

"Fountain of Life"

Chapter 60: The studious orc

Since both sides take what they need, it's now a deal.

Ariel glanced around at the group, got up and straightened his light brown hair, and then lukewarmly prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly stopped before leaving.

At some point, Collins had spread out a blank piece of parchment, dipped a quill pen in ink, and quickly filled it with something, and looked at Ariel with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Little Duke...... Ah no, Ariel. Let me briefly introduce myself. ”

I, Corinth, the second in line to the throne of the Thorn Rose family, an intermediate magician, and the patron and honorary vice-president of the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”

"On behalf of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I would like to sign a contract with you, could you please come and take a look? If that's okay, you can sign it. ”

I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs run, I've seen Wells draw up so many contracts, and now Corinth can draw up a contract in the same way.

Ariel didn't object, and went straight to take the contract.

It's just that after seeing the regulations above, his expression is slightly strange.

In addition to the points just mentioned, Collins has several more detailed points in this contract.

"During the contract period, both parties are obliged to keep this transaction confidential, so Party B is obliged to abide by all the student rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect......"

It seemed like there was no problem, until Collins spoke—

"In the future, you can call me Vice Dean just like the other students." Collins touched his stomach and shy to Ariel.

He paused and said enthusiastically, "Come, this is our dean, this is our teacher'......."

Ariel listened expressionlessly as Collins installed positions for everyone, and asked coldly, "So what about the students?" ”

Corinth pointed to the elf beside him, and said sincerely, "This, this is your senior, Xiren." ”

Xiren leaned against the wall, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and showed a meaningful smile: "In the future, remember to call the senior, little lion." ”

Ariel grimaced with a cold face and crossed out the line very decisively, and then signed his name at the bottom.

"Dreaming."

He decisively dispelled the elves' delusions.

In the end, Li Li stood up, took away the contract book from Ariel's hand, neatly left his name on it, and then said lightly: "Okay, don't bully Ariel, he will also be our teammate from today onwards." ”

Fortunately, in addition to taking advantage of his mouth, Xiren did not show any resistance to Ariel joining.

He was also an outlier among the elves, and he didn't think the orcs were rude or savage, so it was naturally impossible for him to attack Ariel with these words. In the same way, the latter cannot be said to be posturing or hypocritical...... At present, it seems that this elf is more like a half-orc in the traditional sense than he is.

The two glanced at each other, but it was rare to tacitly believe that the other party was a clear stream among the orcs/elves in their hearts.

Now that Ariel has signed the contract to become the tentative fifth member of the team, it is imperative to go to the White Spire to register his information so that he can submit his request to the Spire Council to travel to Southtower City after the team is officially formed.

The smoke in the house cleared, Yao Tan opened the door, and several people walked out of the dimly lit room.

When he was about to leave the door, Li Li suddenly turned around and apologized softly to Ariel.

"Sorry, I just got a bit heavy."

"It's fine." Ariel's face didn't wave, and then he added: "If you break the contract, I will be more severe than you at that time." ”

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say." Li Li also looked at him with a serious face, and shook the sword in his hand: "My sword can be faster." ”

……

Inside the white spire.

A drowsy Carey stood guard at the information registration desk, looking at the bustling antechamber, and he suddenly missed Wesley a little.

His reckless lieutenant had been transferred to another busy but more well-paid position, and he hadn't seen him for days, and I wondered if the kid had remembered the previous agreement to drink together.

Speaking of which, with all the wages he saved last month, he overpowered the ranking of the first team of the Heavenly Sword Sect and surpassed the Wallace Academy of Magic, but why hasn't the Heavenly Sword Sect arranged a fifth teammate yet? Are they so arrogant that they are ready to use the scores of four people to exceed the total score of the other five?

Kerry was thinking about this in his mind when he saw a familiar figure approaching in the distance.

The swordsman at the head is none other than Li Li.
