Section 563 - Fifth Round
A pleasant feeling of coolness rises from the stomach and goes down the spine to the brain, and the accumulated fatigue is instantly dispelled, and the person becomes refreshed again.
It is no wonder that the refreshing effect of "heart-relieving pulp" is sought after by so many people.
"It's really delicious, I like it very much!"
Rehaqi took a big sip again, representing his satisfaction with practical actions.
Bringing him such a drink at this time is really a blessing in disguise.
"None of the people you caught this morning seem to be what you're looking for. ”
The head of the intelligence department came over, and the cup in his hand seemed to be the same "heart-relieving pulp" drink prepared by Qilanya herself.
"Yes, the Slans must be very well hidden, and we can't relax. ”
Rehazy was not discouraged by his return to work, he had no way out, so even being discouraged would not help the current predicament.
In just one day, the isolation zone and checkpoint outside the gladiatorial arena stopped six incidents of rushing cards, killed one person, captured 15 people, and captured 357 suspicious people outside the isolation zone, during which 31 exchanges occurred, 19 suspicious people died, more than 20 people were seriously injured, and more than 200 soldiers were killed or wounded.
These shocking figures made the Lingjing security team gasp, and those who dared to make a move against the military in the city were by no means good men and women.
If it weren't for the Imperial Intelligence Department's application to the Imperial Court and the forced cooperation of the military, it would not have been discovered that the Imperial Capital was hiding so many bold hidden dangers.
However, after the preliminary interrogation, there was still no trace of the Slan Dragon Knight.
"I think it's very unlikely that the Slans will be hiding in the audience. ”
As a cooperating intelligence officer, Qilanya, who is also very familiar with the situation in Lingjing City, put forward her own guess.
With the unique perspective and way of thinking of women, coupled with the result of nothing during the day, it may be proved that the Slans will try to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor during the gladiatorial tournament in a way that no one can imagine.
"Is it possible that the Slans hidden in the gladiatorial arena are members of the organizers or contestants?"
As the day of His Majesty's visit to the gladiatorial arena approached, the pressure on Rehaqi increased, and he had to once again set his sights on the confinement of the four major chambers of commerce. Inside a huge gladiatorial arena that looks like a castle.
What will be the outcome of this operation, no one dares to bet!
Even the head of the intelligence department would rather be busy in vain, accompany this subordinate to make a big move, and even make such a big move, rather than have any accidents.
He didn't even dare to bet on the probability of 1 in 10,000, or even 1 in 10,000.
The entire Ministry of Intelligence had to mobilize everyone and go all out to ensure that His Majesty the Emperor would be present in the gladiatorial tournament until the end of the spectators.
"It is difficult for the people of the four major chambers of commerce to operate the gladiatorial competition to get outsiders involved, even the lowest-ranking attendants are carefully selected, and the possibility of letting the Slans enter temporarily is not high. It's the contestants."
The sound of the big stall head crying at night suddenly stopped.
The origins of the contestants from various provinces within the empire are very complex, and it is absolutely unimaginable to accurately verify them one by one.
"Kiranya, did you find anything in the Colosseum today?"
Rehaqi looked at the female intelligence officer Qilanya and secretly held her breath, sincerely hoping to hear some good news.
Although the four major chambers of commerce, the organizers of the gladiatorial competition, did not allow the intelligence department to stick their minions into the gladiatorial arena at will, they did not care that only two or three people were secretly watching in the audience.
"General, Rehaqi, I think so too, there are indeed a few contestants who look suspicious!"
The opening of the big stall. Coupled with the questioning of her colleagues, Qilanya recalled a little and nodded solemnly.
"Whew!Who is it?"
Rehazy's eyes widened and his ears pricked up.
"Numbers 516, 731, 748, 911, 1314, 1599, 2048, 2495. There is something suspicious about the background information or battle table of these eight contestants. ”
Qilanya's work has always been meticulous, and she took out a stack of leather paper from the square leather satchel she carried with her.
The Slan Empire had begun to promote paper as an administrative consumable, and the Tessie Empire lagged far behind in this regard, precisely because the paper was thin and light, allowing more information to be recorded. The refinement of administrative and many other aspects of work, the Slans have virtually thrown the Tessi out of the countless streets.
"I'll see!"
Putting the cup aside in his hand, the big stall took the leather paper. Rehazy immediately brought a torch and illuminated the contents of the vellum.
"The main characteristics of the Slan Dragon Knight Morin, black hair and black eyes, medium stature and thinness, gold dragon, black knight heavy armor, loss of battle spirit, good at dragon slaying giant sword, light element affinity talent"
Whispering words in his mouth, the big stall head sobbed slowly and looked at the investigation materials compiled by Qilanya, a piece of leather paper corresponds to a contestant, and their physical characteristics and guesses.
If Lin Mo stood here, he would be very surprised that the Tessie had cleared his old bottom.
"Four of them are in line with the characteristics of black hair and black eyes, one is a light type warrior, one is a light type spell caster, three people have an unknown battle qi level, one uses a giant sword, and one wears black heavy armor. ”
Although she had just cooperated with Rehaqi's work, Qilanya hit the nail on the head.
A series of keyword characteristics make these contestants recorded on the leather paper more and more suspicious in the eyes of the big stall head and Rehaqi.
The two men glanced at each other, obviously surprised that the female intelligence officer Qilanya had inadvertently made such an unexpected progress.
As for those contestants who died in the duel area, blood and death naturally ruled out their suspicions, and the Slans could never let a loser assassinate His Majesty, the emperor of the Tessie Empire, otherwise they would not have sent a dragon knight to carry out this assassination mission.
"Every round of battle will gradually bring the dragon knight of the Slan people to the surface, and maybe in the next round, the dragon knight will be exposed!
The head of the intelligence department nodded at the female intelligence officer, obviously appreciating her ability, and handed the leather paper back again.
On the side, Rehaqi swallowed bitterly, he had spent a lot of money and a lot of manpower and material resources of the Intelligence Department in vain, and he had also caused heavy casualties to the military. finally found the entry point again, but found nothing, but made a wedding dress in vain, allowing Qilanya to discover the clues.
"Kirania, you've surprised me!"
Rehaqi suppressed the sense of loss in his heart, and barely squeezed out a smile.
For this result, he is helpless, even if Qilanya takes a big credit, it is not terrible, at least his secondary credit still can't run.
"Don't say that, Rehazy, if you hadn't found your way. No matter how much I know, I can't find a goal!"
The eyes blinked deliberately, and Qilanya showed a shy smile.
"Rehaqi, Qilanya, tomorrow you two will be in the gladiatorial arena, keep an eye on every contestant for me, I am responsible for looking outside, and I must dig out that Slan Dragon Knight before the day after tomorrow. ”
The big stall leader glanced at the two subordinates. He picked up the cup again, walked into the distance, and waved his hand without looking back more than ten steps away.
"Come on, Rehazy, don't let me down!"
"Your Excellency, General. I'm going to get that Slansaur Knight out!"
After drinking the "heart-relieving pulp" in the cup, Rehaqi, who was in good spirits again, jumped in place and followed.
While the sun of the holy flame has not risen tomorrow, the suspect in the cell will have to go through it in person. Maybe he'll be able to get some unexpected surprises.
"Rehazy!
Qilanya shouted at the back of her colleague.
Rehaqi didn't say anything, just turned his back to her, clenched his fists and waved. I won't lose to this female intelligence officer.
The benefits given to each contestant by the organizers of the Colosseum are quite effective, allowing each contestant to fully recover their body and battle qi or magic before entering the stadium the next day, and at the same time, the high-level healing potions and the healing spells of the Bright Priest go hand in hand, in addition to the mutilated limbs that cannot be reborn, it is enough to turn serious injuries into minor injuries, and minor injuries are completely unhindered, which not only allows the contestants' combat power to return to their peak state again, but also allows the audience to continue to watch the tense and tragic high-level battles.
Therefore, as the final stage of the competition progresses and the number of participants decreases, tickets for the audience seats in the Colosseum become more and more expensive, but they are still hard to find.
In the same seats in the spectator seats, the ticket price in the fifth round of the event was almost ten times the ticket price of the first round of group elimination.
There are more than 130 participants in the fifth round of the battle of death with Lin Mo, and many famous masters who have been temporarily inserted have been added, which adds to the variables and watchability of the event.
Before dawn, figures appeared in the audience, waiting impatiently for the curtain to open.
"47 games in the fifth round, 1599 winners!"
Through the guò wind system spell amplification, the host of the gladiatorial arena, with the elegant tone of the aristocratic magnetic voice clearly and loudly spread throughout every corner of the gladiatorial arena.
In the duel area, the warrior in black heavy armor held the giant sword in his hand high, stood next to the corpse of the opponent who slashed from head to crotch and cut into four pieces on the spot, and let out a murderous roar to the audience outside the arena.
"Oh my God!
"It's a terrible sword skill, my legs and stomach are shaking, but it's so exciting!
"I won! Well done, 1599! I'm willing to have a baby for you!"
When the audience was in an uproar, the magnetic voice of the host sounded again.
"Please rest for a quarter of an hour, the next game is the contestant 748 against the contestant 3166, special reminder, 3166 is a temporary participant, he is from the Hiss family, this is a real never-ending death duel, I think everyone will be very much looking forward to it, in addition, I would like to announce to you a good news, tomorrow, our great and holy emperor of the Tessie Empire, Hoka Majesty, will come to this gladiatorial arena in person, and enjoy this wonderful and fierce event with everyone. ”
The previous news made the audience boil again, the powerful and powerful slaughtered vulnerable civilians, although they insisted on upholding the rules of the gladiatorial competition, but the organizers finally made some compromises, allowing the Hiss family to use the gladiatorial competition to avenge their eldest son.
Except for a very small number of people, most of the contestants are going to die, so it is better to sell their favors to Duke Grosso Heath, so as not to carry this black cauldron for the contestant number 748 in vain.
In the eyes of many spectators, the contestant with number 748 directly gave way to the death list of the god of the underworld. The Hiss family's shot is definitely a thunderous blow, and there is no chance at all.
This may be a little unfair, but there has never been fairness between the wealthy and the common people in terms of privilege.
The second piece of news that followed was like a heavy alchemy bomb, which silenced the audience for a moment, and then erupted in cheers that could almost knock the entire arena upside down.
"Long live Hoka!"
"It's such an honor to be able to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Tomorrow must be my lucky day, I'm going to bet on every fight!"
"Thank goodness it's tomorrow! I have to prepare the most beautiful clothes, or I'll be dead in front of Your Majesty." ”
"Book me a ticket now, I want a ticket for tomorrow! The closer you get to the Emperor, the better!"
". Twice, ten, no matter how much, if you don't book tomorrow's tickets, you won't come back!"
The commotion caused by the news that His Majesty the Emperor had personally attended the gladiatorial tournament caused the rest to be delayed for at least ten more minutes.
It wasn't until the organizers couldn't tolerate the chaos in the audience that it was about to affect the whole course of the event, and the host who was instructed once again spread his elegant and aristocratic tone to everyone's ears.
"Now we have a contestant for this one, number 748 and number 3166! Number 748 is a controversial contestant with a cunning mind. unimaginable means, but also a cruel and cold heart, the level of battle qi is unknown, and the combat skills are unknown. Exclusive weapon armor unknown, oh my God, like a mysterious warrior, then let's look at his opponent. Number 3166, uh, okay. Just now, everyone rushed to book tomorrow's seat tickets and delayed a lot of time, and I won't waste any more time, so let's fight!
When the tournament enters the fifth round, the host of the organizer begins to introduce the information and characteristics of each participant to the audience, providing them with a reference for betting.
From this time on, the amount and number of bets are incomparable to those of the previous rounds, and the spectators who can afford to buy tickets for the fifth round are all people with some wealth, which can bring huge profits to the organizers.
When the host made the opening introduction, he was interrupted by the organizer's steward, and the event went straight to the theme.
"Number 748, Nameless Rat, today is the day you pay for your life for the eldest son of the Duke, Young Master Graciano. ”
No. 3166 is a spellcaster, shrouded in a pure white bizarre suit, which seems to be stacked and interlaced with layers of armor leaves, as well as hard protection of the joints, as if the armor of the warrior is actually a set of extremely high-level magic robes, not only has excellent physical and magical defense, but can also bless and increase the caster's spell effects.
The dragon knight, dressed in gorgeous light armor and holding a two-handed sword, cautiously looked at this specially-dressed opponent, not taking the other party's threatening words to heart at all, if this kind of could be of any use, he, the dragon knight, would have died thousands of times in previous battles.
"Judgment!
Several finger-thick branches extended from the top, wrapped around the cavity, and a silver staff the size of a fist with a long hexagonal prismatic crystal pointed at Lin Mo, and a pure white aura exploded in the void in front of the magic crystal at an inch sharp angle, and then a beam of light as thick as a baby's forearm shot out.
Rumble!~
With an alarm, Lin Mo, who flashed three or four steps away for the first time, saw that the position where he was standing was blasted by the beam of light, and a shallow pit more than a foot deep was blown away.
Although the power of the explosion was not comparable to the fireball, he knew very well that the light armor on his body would never be able to resist that beam if it were not for the evolution of the golden dragon.
Once hit, it will never be much better than a 12.7mm standard steel core bullet.
But this was not the most important thing, what surprised Lin Mo was that the spell released by the other party turned out to be
"Light spells!"
Lin Mo suddenly spat out a word from his mouth.
With the affinity of the light elemental system, he was naturally very familiar with the characteristics of this elemental attribute.
Compared to other active elements, the attack power of the light system is not very strong, and even like the space system, it will only really exert its own aggression when it is at a high level.
Prior to this, mid- and low-tier light spells were basically defensive and healing biases, or off-the-cline applications such as expanding horizons, interfering vision, or flying briefly.
When he was about to enter the final stage of his assassination plan, he encountered a light mage in a duel tournament, and he was very good at fighting.
The Hiss family unexpectedly sent a light magician, which made everyone in the audience feel unbelievable.
However, no one doubted that it was a priest or a god general of the Light Divine Court, because only the Shadow Killing Hall in the Seven Killing Temples of the Dark Sanctuary accepted the assassination mercenary business, and the people of the Light Divine Court never accepted hiring to avenge others, and the power of the Duke of a Terran Empire was not enough for this folk light talent organization to take seriously.
"Hmph, I'll see how long you can hide, or just be judged!"
As a trump card of the Hiss family, the light god Autumnberry snorted coldly, and then the spell spell in his mouth did not stop, and the staff turned again, and another sharp beam of light shot out.
Compared to other elemental energy, the attack speed of the light system is comparable to that of the space system-
