Chapter 7: Winning Love [II.]

Chapter 7 is a little late, I just went to watch "Journey to the West". Huang Bo's Wukong shape makes my eggs ache and crack~ Okay, don't talk nonsense, Chapter 7 is presented, ask for recommended votes and collections, the code word is hard!

When the person who was thinking about it appeared in front of him, Rachel could no longer control his emotions, hurriedly jumped off the table, pressed Ashley's shoulders tightly with both hands, and said excitedly: "Ashley, it's really you, why are you here?" Just when Rachel wanted to hug Ashley, Ashley used a little force, broke free from Rachel's embrace, took a few steps back politely, and said softly: "We're just friends!"

"Just friends!" Rachel muttered the words bitterly, and her body couldn't help but take a few steps back, and glanced at Ashley with a complicated expression, then lowered her head and fell silent.

Seeing such an embarrassing scene, Cohen sighed, picked up another wooden cup, poured a glass of black iron beer, walked up to Ashley, handed it to her, and said: "Hello, I'm Rachel's friend, Cohen of the Elven Clan, I often hear him mention you, and when I see you today, it's better to be famous than to meet!" After speaking, he raised his wine glass, smiled and clinked glasses with Ashley.

Ashley glanced at Cohen wisely, and after a while, said with a smile: "You are lying, Rachel never talks about me in front of other people, he is good to me, and he has always buried it in his heart!" After speaking, he raised the wooden cup and touched it, and without waiting for Cohen to say anything, he drank all the beer, and then said: "Rachel has never had any friends, I was very happy to see you help him in just now, he finally made his own friends!" Writing this, Fu Shen suddenly thought evilly: If I change the title of this chapter to (Rachel Cohen angrily, Ashley washes his face with tears) such a shameless and undisciplined title, it is guaranteed to be exchanged for countless recommendations and collections, the sky will be in great drought, the sky is empty, the well is empty, the great power ahead, you are careful. 】

Hearing Ashley's concern for him, Rachel couldn't be silent any longer, and just as he wanted to explain his feelings to Ashley, an arrogant and piercing voice suddenly sounded: "Adelaide, the god of rocks, Rachel, how did you appear in the Thursilver Fortress, I thought you were buried alive in the digger's passage." Could it be that I was drunk and dazzled by mistake?"

Ashley frowned and said displeasedly, "Fela, shut up!"

I saw a thin dwarf in the crowd come over and sneered: "Ashley, I advise you to check a little, don't talk to me and me in a crowded place, otherwise Arisandra will know the truth, in case you can't think of three long and two short, the deputy head of the dignified thunderwolf mercenary group will die like this, and it will not only lose your reputation!"

Hearing Fela's malicious slander against Ashley, Rachel clenched his fists, a violent murderous aura permeated his body, and yelled at Fela: "If you don't want to die, close your beak, and say bad things about Ashley, and I will tear down all the bones of your body one by one!"

Feira shook her head indifferently, laughed instead of anger, glanced at Rachel with contempt, and said: "A black iron-level waste actually dares to provoke a silver-level dwarven assassin, I want to see who dismantles whose bones one by one today!" After saying that, a pair of fine iron daggers with cold light were slowly pulled out of his belt, and his figure flashed, and the whole person jumped high in the air, and the double daggers stabbed towards Rachel's lute bones. The originally lively tavern was completely quiet as Fira's figure was completely quiet, and all the dwarves' eyes were on the dagger that shimmered with cold light.

"Watch out for his boning!" exclaimed Ashley.

"It's late!" Fira's grim voice sounded in front of Rachel, and in a few moments, the beautiful sound of the dagger slicing bones would resound in Rachel's body, and the thought of this made Fira's whole body tremble slightly with excitement.

But when Rachel's eyes were as steady as Tarzan and without a trace of panic appeared in Fira's pupils, a few wisps of uneasiness overshadowed the excitement and quietly touched Fira's nerves.

At the moment when the dagger struck, Rachel's body took a step back, and Fira's attack instantly failed, following the momentum of Fira's double dagger stabbing down, his left fist turned into a palm, and a pale yellow light attached to the palm, and with a big hand, he grabbed the two daggers tightly.

As a sour "creaking" metal grinding sound came out of Rachel's palm, Ferra looked at Rachel's left palm in disbelief and said in horror, "This can't be!"

Rachel held two daggers in his left hand, and with a flip of his palm, he grabbed Ferra's wrist tightly, and with a little force, he lifted Ferra up. Looking at Rachel's bloodshot eyes from rage, Ferra struggled desperately with all her strength, but Rachel's left hand clasped her hands tightly like iron tongs, and did not let go in the slightest.

"You!!!!," Rachel said word by word, and at this time Ferra looked like a corpse in his eyes. Rachel's waist arched slightly, and the front of her right fist was mixed with a pale yellow light, and she punched hard into Ferra's chest.

"Poof!" a dull tearing sound sounded in Ferra's back, and the tough leather armor couldn't withstand Rachel's terrifying punch, and a fist-sized hole resolutely appeared in the back.

Red blood flowed from Fira's nostrils and the corners of her mouth, her lips trembled, the pain that scraped her bones so much that she couldn't even speak, and her body trembled violently as Rachel lifted her body.

Ashley was sad when she saw Rachel's angry appearance, although Fera's malice just now, if Rachel really beat Fera to death here, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around. With a stomp of his foot, he wanted to step forward and save Fira from Rachel.

At the moment when Ashley was about to rush out, Cohen grabbed Ashley's shoulder, shook his head at her, and said, "If you go out of the city now to persuade Rachel to stop, it will definitely add fuel to the fire, and Fera will definitely be beaten to death!"

"But if you don't stop him, there will be no chance of recovery!" Ashley said anxiously as she looked at Cohen.

Cohen still shook his head and said calmly: "You have to believe him!"

While Cohen was persuading Ashley, Rachel mentioned Fira again, looked at the painful Fela, and said slowly: "Apologize to Ashley, or die!"

Ferra opened her eyes with difficulty, first turned her head to look at Ashley, smiled, then looked at Rachel, spit out, and said intermittently, "Phew, you... Ashley... The concubine... Sister-in-law, kill... Kill me!" he closed his eyes.

Rachel raised her right hand, gently wiped the saliva from her cheek, glanced at it, and muttered, "Very good, then I can't blame me!" After speaking, he rubbed his right hand against Fira's clothes and slowly clenched it. After a few moments, a yellowish glow gradually brightened.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

As Rachel punched Ferra in the chest, Ferra's leather armor tore through under the pressure of the powerful punch. Ferra was spitting blood at this time, her limbs had already hung down, and her anger was like a gossamer, but her eyes showed a monstrous hatred, staring at Rachel.

Rachel was attacked by the anger he stared at, and with a roar, his right fist stopped in mid-air, and pressed backwards, and a moment later, the earth elemental was frantically absorbed and gathered. Cohen secretly said badly, he didn't expect Rachel to use the high-level earth element compression technique, and hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow step, trying to stop Rachel's devastating blow, but he was a step too late.

Bursts of dazzling golden light burst out in Rachel's right fist and slammed into Ferra's forehead!

"Stop, Rachel!" Cohen and Ashley exclaimed, both of them reaching out at the same time, but the distance was so close that they could only watch Rachel's fist get closer and closer to Fira.

Ashley closed her eyes in despair, not daring to look at what was about to happen, and a wisp of tears flowed down her cheeks!

As Rachel's right fist was about to hit Ferra's forehead, a large calloused hand suddenly appeared and blocked Rachel's fatal punch.

"Smack!"

With a dull thud, with Rachel as the center, a strong air flow mixed with huge wind pressure instantly raged through the tavern, and countless tables and chairs were blown around. Cohen and Ashley were closest to Rachel, and both of them fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Rachel!"

"Arisandra!"

A calm voice rang out at the same time as Rachel's.

Cohen hurriedly followed the sound and saw a strong dwarf clenching Rachel's right fist, and the two looked at each other angrily, it was the thunder and the earth, and an invisible murderous aura gradually spread over the two of them.

Alessandra glanced at Ferra and said to Rachel, "If you want to fight, I'll accompany you, let Fira go first!"

"I can't ask for it!" Rachel didn't say much, and with a slight force of his left hand, Ferra flew out like an arrow off the string, slamming into a pair of tables and chairs, and there was no more sound.

"What are you doing?" Arisandra whispered.

Rachel said lightly: "He insulted Ashley just now, this is just a small punishment for him!"

Arissandra glared at Rachel, and hurriedly said to the two dwarves behind her, "Send Fera to treatment!" and then turned to Rachel and said, "This account will be settled with you in a while!" After speaking, she let go of her right hand, walked to Ashley's side, helped her up, and asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Ashley patted the dust off her body, stood up, and said, "I'm fine, it's good that you're here, otherwise Fira would have been more than lucky." With that, he smiled sweetly at Arisandra.

Seeing Ashley smiling sweetly at Arisandra, "That smile can only belong to me......!"

After Alessandra comforted Ashley a little, she slowly turned around and said to Rachel: "See you in the Soul Slaying Arena in an hour, it seems that the lesson last time was not enough, today I will let you remember it longer!" After speaking, he took Ashley's hand and threw a bag of gold coins to the boss as compensation, and walked out of the tavern quickly.

Before leaving the tavern, Ashley shook her head gently at Rachel, and as she walked past the dwarf, she whispered, "Don't go, please!" and followed Arisandra out of the tavern.

Watching Ashley leave the tavern, Rachel's clenched fists burst out, and Ashley's last kind request changed when the dwarf heard it: Because of your weakness, you can't defeat Arisandra. So, I had to follow him.

The twisted thought instantly took over Rachel's mind, and he quickly jumped onto a table and yelled at the tavern, "I, Rachel Black Iron Tomahawk, will you cheer me on in a moment?"

This time, no one responded to him, all the dwarves just looked at Rachel sympathetically, and many of the dwarves shook their heads and left the tavern. Looking at the crowd that gradually dispersed, Rachel jumped off the table weakly, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said to Cohen: "See, the person who was called a brother and a brother just now is a stranger. But I'm not going to back down, even if it's just me, I'm going to the arena. Cohen, you're left alone with me now, would you like to accompany me?"

Although he felt that there was a lot of something wrong with this matter, out of trust in Rachel, Cohen nodded without hesitation. With Cohen's support, Rachel's gloomy cheeks finally showed a smile. With some time left, Rachel dragged Cohen to the quartermaster to get a new steel axe, and when he received the iron shield, the dwarf hesitated for a moment and received another one.

Cohen sighed and said, "You want to fight hard for a while, don't you even take a shield?"

Rachel glanced at Cohen and muttered, "Arisandra is much stronger than me, and in terms of combat skills alone, I can't pose a threat to him except for the lava roaring battle axe, which can cause danger to him." It's also a helpless move to give up the shield, Cohen, can you promise me two things?"

"Say, I listen, if I can do it, I will do it!"

"First of all, no matter what happens in the arena, even if I am killed by Arisandra, don't interfere, because this is my most degraded dignity, the dignity of a dwarven warrior. ”

"Do you have the consciousness of death?"

Rachel nodded, acquiescing.

"Well, I respect your choice!"

"Xie Lu Xie, the second thing, if I die in battle, please bury me next to my parents' graves in the Copperbeard Cemetery, I have been lonely for so long, I hope I can be by their side after death. ”

Cohen was silent, was it worth it for the sake of an Ashley, but he couldn't say anything, let alone do anything, because it was a hurdle that Rachel had to overcome. After hesitating for a moment, Cohen took out all the stored items from the Life Elegy Ring, took off the ring, put it on Rachel's hand, carefully explained the function of the ring, and after making sure that Rachel could use it, he said: "I can't help with other things for the time being, this ring is temporarily borrowed from you, and it can play a role in a critical moment." When this challenge is over, let's go drink again, my friend!" he patted Rachel on the shoulder, silently encouraging him.

Rachel nodded heavily, his shoulders trembling irregularly, and at this time, he wanted to rush to the grave of his parents in the Copperbeard Cemetery, and tell them loudly: Rachel has friends of his own, and he is no longer the Rachel who is despised by the people. Thinking of this, Rachel grinned widely, smiled innocently, raised his right fist, and whispered, "For honor!"

"For honor!" Cohen reached out his right fist and touched Rachel, and from this moment on, the two of them could safely hand over their backs to their companions who were guarding each other. [Uh, okay, it's evil to write here, could it be that I have been seriously affected by some X novels recently, hey, I decided to go back and recite "Three Hundred Children's Songs" to purify my soul. 】

The Soul Slaying Arena, the largest arena in the Thorsilver Fortress, holds a huge martial arts viewing competition in the arena during the major festival celebrations of the dwarves. Another function of the arena is to encourage the dwarves to worship martial arts, and the internal selection of the dwarven army is unusually simplified compared to other races. First of all, you can fight the battlefield to reserve military merits, and when the military merits reach a certain rank, you can challenge the last two officers of this rank, and as long as you win one, you can replace the defeated officer and obtain the military rank.

According to the rules of the Dwarves, November when snow falls in Howling Canyon is the time when the Rank Challenge begins. At this time of year, a large number of dwarven armies gather at the Thorium Fortress to watch the annual Rank Challenge, and the entire Thursilver Fortress and the Soul Slaying Arena will be bustling with activity.

The last role is to allow both parties to use force to solve some unsolvable problems on the premise of notarization. And this role has always been loved by the dwarves, for no other reason, no matter how much quarrel there is, it is not as happy as a life-and-death battle. As a result, countless dwarves come here every year to fight and fight, just for all kinds of strange reasons.

And today, the battle between Rachel and Arisandra has long been a nowhere to be fought among the dwarves of the Thorsilver Fortress. When Cohen and Rachel walked into the arena, the arena, which should have been deserted, was now filled with many dwarves who had come to watch the battle. There are more good things to open a gambling game, Arisandra 1 to 1.2, Rachel 1 to 17, Cohen took out the last more than 300 gold coins, pressed Rachel with a brain, and after finishing the game, he casually stuffed the betting voucher into his bag and followed Rachel to the inner circle of the arena.

When the arena used for the challenge was displayed in front of Cohen's eyes, his eyes suddenly lit up: the entire challenge field was endless, and under the effect of the dwarven elemental shaping magic, it resolutely felt like a small biosphere, with mountains and rivers, rocky cliffs, desert Gobi, vegetation and creatures. A large image crystal floated silently above the arena, and it was said that under the control of a gold-level elemental, it could present a full 30,000 crystal images, which was breathtaking.

When the two of them stepped into the inner circle, Arisandra sat quietly in a break room not far away with twenty or thirty people. Rachel gestured to a dwarf in the crowd with a black axe on his back. He said to Cohen, "That man is the chief referee: Katok Silver Tomahawk." It is estimated that it will be the notarization of this duel. ”

"You're worried that this duel isn't fair?"

"That's not going to happen, if he's unfair, then the Thunderwolf Mercenary Group will be finished!"

Cohen thought for a moment, and suddenly said to Rachel, "I have something to talk to Ashley about, you won't mind, right?"

The dwarf shook his head and said, "Now I only have one thing on my mind, defeat Arisandra!"

"Don't worry, what I'll do in a while will definitely be beneficial and harmless!" Cohen finished speaking, walked quickly to the lounge of the Thunderwolf Mercenary Group, and knocked on the door symbolically, everyone saw that it was him, and they didn't have any good faces, only Alessandra asked lightly: "Is there something wrong?"

"Ashley, can I come out for a while, talk to you about something!"

Ashley glanced at Arisandra and asked for his opinion. Ariskandra nodded slightly, and Ashley walked to the door and whispered, "Is there something wrong?"

Cohen took out a folded note from his bosom, put it in Ashley's hand, and said, "Give this to Patriarch Clement, and the battle between Rachel and Arisandra can be a big deal!"

"Can I take a look?"

"It's better not to!"

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because Rachel is my partner, I don't want him to get hurt, and you don't want Rachel to get hurt, and you don't want Arisandra to get hurt. So, you can only choose to trust me!"

"Alright, I'll give this to the patriarch now!" Ashley said, turning and running out of the arena.

Seeing Ashley leave the arena, Arisandra's brows furrowed slightly, but after thinking about it, she just smiled disdainfully.

At that moment, Katok roared in a hoarse and deep voice, resounding throughout the arena: "We are made to fight, to break fear with hammers, to resist hatred with iron shields, we are loyal warriors of the god of rocks!!!!!!!!!, Adelaide Burl!

"Battle !!!!!!"

"Battle !!!!!!"

The entire audience in the Soul Slaying Arena stood up and shouted with all their might. Because what Katok is reciting is the song of the war spirit that has been passed down by the dwarves for thousands of years.

"Let's bestow the blessings of the god of rocks on Arisandra Silver and Rachel Black Iron on them. Guided by the warmest applause, welcome the two Warriors into the arena!!!!!!" Katok roared hoarsely, in exchange for wave after wave of applause, and Rachel and Alessandra finally stood in the arena once again.

And this time, for Rachel, it's a matter of life and death!

This battle kicked off.
