Chapter 265: Chess Pieces
It's done.
At the moment when his eyes fell on the lookout, the young man felt something, and he was distracted and sideways to resist a huge tail pin that quickly pierced with the thick shield on his back, and at the same time, let go of the axe spear that was being used in his left and right hands to wrestle with the giant demon scorpion in front of him, and let it be taken away by the magic scorpion's claws, and he took the opportunity to jump back and withdraw from the attack range of the demon scorpion.
The boy broke away from the battle, and the scorpion did not continue to attack.
The human beings in front of it gave it an extremely difficult feeling, and after fighting for a long time, its ferocity had long been extinguished by fatigue and pain. On the other hand, this human being, except for the wound that caused him at the beginning, and then fought all the way to the present, he was like a loach and did not spare his hands, and he was helpless at all, and at the moment, he was still full of energy like a little strong, constantly teasing it.
So after throwing the axe spear in anger, it was the one who had a chance to breathe.
It is not very intelligent, how do you know that the teenager was injured at the beginning, it was deliberate, so as to take the opportunity to use the blood well, and the wound that is still bleeding from the young man at the moment, as well as the remaining physical strength of the two of them, is a powerful proof.
At this point, the tide was turning.
The Great Knight is in danger of dying when facing the Spellcaster, but this does not mean that the Great Knight is necessarily weaker than the Spellcaster. As soon as the demon scorpion first appeared, the boy knew that the one in front of him was only one of the weaker spell-casting beasts, and as long as he avoided its several spells and waited for its magic power to be exhausted, it would become meat on his chopping board.
With this thought, he dragged all the way to the present, and saw that the tail needle of the demon scorpion no longer sprayed flames for a long time, but stabbed it directly, and he knew that it was time to decide the victory with one blow, so he simply threw away all useless equipment, and after withdrawing from the battle, he even took off his armor, leaving only a broadsword in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the audience instantly thundered with joy, and people were shocked by the young man's determination to break the boat, and even those on the lookout were a little surprised.
"It's bold, or rather, crazy enough. ”
"Are you planning to finish the battle? Then you don't have to give up your defense. Oh, those people shouted really well, they were indeed madmen. ”
"Or is it a show, or is it for the convenience of performing knightly skills, but it is not known. ”
Listening to the discussion of the three business owners, the middle-aged gentleman was silent. Like a statue, he was unmoved by the outside world, and his eyes narrowed slightly when the young man in the ring set up a knight's posture. Under the eagle's eye, it can be clearly seen that the knight's power that the young man poured into the broadsword is revealing a strange scarlet blood. The broadsword was stained with blood and covered with a different color, which ordinary people could not distinguish with the naked eye, but it was revealed under his observation.
Seeing this, he couldn't help rubbing his chin and secretly said something interesting.
After that, under his gaze, under the gaze of everyone, the boy quickly slew the demon scorpion, and the gladiatorial arena once again turned into a boiling ocean.
At this moment, on the lookout, not only the middle-aged gentleman, but also the other three eyes looking at the bloody young man also began to imply a deep meaning.
"I have a plan called internal and external attack. ”
"You have to get a lot of bait to do it. ”
"Isn't there one in front of us?"
"It seems that we are a mind, but can this person use it?"
"No matter how rebellious a person is, if he can pay attention, it will not be a problem. ”
"When you promise to make heavy profits, and at the same time use power to suppress people, you can subdue it under the two-pronged approach. ”
Has this been a strategy to deal with the rest of the chambers of commerce?
Looking at the three business owners in the conversation, the middle-aged gentleman nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, a gust of night wind blew in, and his figure suddenly dissipated like smoke and dust, and returned to the void, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this scene, the three merchant lords came back to their senses and bent down solemnly towards the place where the middle-aged gentleman had disappeared.
"Greetings to the Wizard Elder!"
......
"Sir, why do you still look a little unhappy that you won the contest and took almost all the rewards in the beast fighting column?"
"That's right, not to mention those treasures, just the gold coins are enough for our manor to last for several years, and if I receive the reward, I would have been happy for a long time!"
At this time, it was not long after the end of the gladiatorial arena competition, and the streets were crowded with people. On the other hand, a carriage was driving in the flow of people, but there was silence in the carriage.
Even after washing his body in the lounge after the game and changing into clean clothes, the young man who still couldn't hide the smell of blood on his body saw that the two girls only cared about him, and he didn't shy away from it, and his originally ugly face improved a lot.
"No upset. He smiled reluctantly, "Didn't you see that when you just went with me? Not only did I get the reward, but I also joined the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce." ”
At the mention of this, the two women's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, sir, when you say that, I think again, when the Black Reef merchant saw you nod his head and agree to join them, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself, ahem, I haven't seen a big man like him smile like a child!
"I guess he's excited to recruit such a master, sir, you're amazing!"
These two silly girls, the young man shook his head and smiled.
How did they know that before they joined Black Reef, they had already become pawns in the hands of the top three chambers of commerce.
Thinking of the three people who had secretly met him before the Black Reef Merchant, thinking of the huge interests in their words, as well as the invisible coercion hidden in the dark, and thinking of his helpless nod under the pressure of the situation, his heart was like a layer of haze, and even the expressions along the way were unconsciously a little dark, even the two women could detect it.
It's ridiculous that when he noticed that there was a gaze on the lookout, he secretly shouted for luck, innocently remembering the days of prosperity and peace in the future. After experiencing all kinds of talents, he suddenly woke up, it was the same in any world, there were open and secret battles everywhere, and this was neither a civilized society in the previous life, nor a relatively complete area under the rule of the Holy See, as long as he was in it, he couldn't hide from it anyway.
Moreover, the game between the top leaders is even more dangerous, and one carelessness is the abyss. Now that he is involved in the game, I really don't know if it is a blessing or a curse, but it is certain that he will still need to walk on thin ice in the future.
Thinking of this, he had a headache and unconsciously pinched his eyebrows.
In a world where the strong are respected, if they do not reach a certain level of strength, they will not be able to get rid of the fate of becoming a pawn after all.
Thinking of the three of them talking to him, a trace of the abyss that leaked out intentionally or unintentionally, even as a great knight, could not detect its deep and shallow aura, and the young man's desire to become stronger was once again blazing.
"What's the matter, sir?"
Linda looked at the young man who was lost in thought, his face was uncertain, and whispered to Maggie beside her with some concern.
"I don't know. Maggie replied in the same whisper, for fear of disturbing the boy's thoughts, "Do you want to warn him that the carriage has stopped halfway?" There was no one on this road, it was too quiet, and I was a little scared. ”
"Let's ask the driver first. I don't know what's wrong with him, and I stopped the car for a while without moving. ”
"Hmm. Maggie nodded, then knocked on the partition at the front of the car, "Coachman, why did you stop all of a sudden?"
There was silence outside the carriage, and they didn't even hear the sound of the horses on weekdays, and the two goddesses tightened their faces, remembering all the terrible stories circulating on this side of the port, and they subconsciously looked at the young man beside them.
At this time, the boy had also come to his senses, and when he saw the two girls looking at him helplessly, he did not speak, but stood with one finger in front of his mouth, and made a booing motion.
