Chaos is beginning to open, and hundreds of races are competing for hegemony.

Death and survival, war and destruction, nearly 10,000 years of war, the human race has risen and fallen on this continent. It was not until more than 700 years ago that the founder of the Bright Dynasty, Emperor Garan Lot, led his Terran warriors to chase the orcs in the west and the elves in the south, and the Terrans occupied the richest central region of the Belland continent and became one of the most powerful intelligent races on this continent.

The more than 100 years of the reign of the Emperor of Light was the most glorious period in the history of the Bright Empire, and the emperors who succeeded him after Garanlot rarely had outstanding monarchs.

When it reached the hands of the eighth emperor, Leopold, due to Leoper's weak personality and addiction to women's fun, the famous "Rebellion of the Thirteen Princes" occurred in history. Thirteen archdukes rebelled one after another, first sending Alantis to overthrow Leopold, and after Leopold was forced to announce his abdication, these archdukes attacked each other for land and profit.

The "Rebellion of the Thirteen Princes" lasted for nearly 30 years, and nearly 10 million Terran people and soldiers were killed in this civil strife of the Terran race. Only seven of the thirteen Grand Dukes who initially raised troops survived in the end, which are the current Seven Kingdoms of the Terran Race, namely Isaac in the west of the empire, Holo in the north, Kildan in the south and Norman in the east, as well as the three central kingdoms of Locke, Bardos and Rouge.

In the end, the Seven Kingdoms reached an armistice, and the countries were autonomous but still respected the ninth emperor of the Bright Empire as their co-masters, and all countries had the obligation to help each other in the face of foreign invasions.

After the "Rebellion of the Thirteen Princes", the Terrans have maintained peace for nearly two hundred years, and the current reign is the thirteenth emperor Konstantin. In recent years, although there have been occasional frictions between the seven countries, there have been few military conflicts of more than 10,000 people.

This history of the Bright Empire, which is almost known to the nobles, is a blank for Arthur, and it turns out that there is such a vast world in the Terran territory outside the Isaac Kingdom.

At this time, listening to old Harry tell the story is as wonderful as listening to a story, but I don't understand what the "Imperial Elite Academy Competition" has to do with the history of the Empire?

The reason why countries have been able to maintain relative peace among themselves in recent years is, on the one hand, that the strength of all countries is relatively balanced, and no one country can dominate it. On the other hand, countries agree to meet once every five years to meet the emperor together, and the division of interests between countries will generally be resolved through consultation and negotiation under the auspices of the emperor. Some disputes that cannot be resolved through negotiation will be resolved by competition between the two sides, and the defeated side will have to make concessions in terms of interests. As a result, the battles between the top warriors of various countries replaced the fighting of ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, reducing casualties and saving a lot of material and financial resources for the king.

There are not always disputes between countries that need to be resolved through martial arts, but each king has a competitive spirit and hopes that his high-end military power will be able to outperform other countries. Therefore, when the tenth emperor was in power, he proposed that each country select outstanding young warriors and magicians to conduct exhibition matches during the alliance. The battle between young warriors has little damage to the competition venue, which is more suitable for watching, and the level of young warriors and magicians also reflects the overall talent training level of a country, and can better reflect the strength of each kingdom.

In the beginning, the countries still selected outstanding young people under the age of 20 from the children of the nobility and the army, and then gradually evolved to participate in the academy.

Old Harry talked so much before he finished talking about the origins of the "Imperial Elite Academy Competition".

"I probably understand, the kingdom sent us to the Bloodshine Academy to participate in the Imperial Elite Academy Competition, and you plan to let me and Golie participate in it, so as to take the opportunity to leave the Isaac Kingdom. ”

"Not only our Blood Academy, but each kingdom has two places for the competition, plus the two academies directly under the empire, it is exactly sixteen academies. Through the elimination of two-by-two, the strongest academy is finally determined. Each time, the two academies sent by the Isaac Kingdom are selected from the 'Seven Flowers and One Flower', of which the Blood Glory Academy belongs to the guaranteed place, and the other place is determined by the seven strongest academies in the kingdom through a competition. ”

"And one more question, do I get paid to participate in that tournament?" Arthur blurted out out of mercenary habits.

Old Harry was so angry that he picked up the staff in his hand and knocked Arthur on the head twice, "This is glory! Under the gaze of the emperor and the seven kings, fighting against the best young generation powerhouses of the entire human race, this is an opportunity that no number of people can ask for, and you even ask for a reward!"

Arthur spread his hands, "Huey likes to fight with people, and Joan is a fool who likes to be in the limelight, but I don't want to do this kind of thing that has no profit and high risk, what if I am killed or injured during the battle?

Old Harry raised his staff and was about to knock it again, but Arthur dodged it in advance, "You are usually so smart, why are you stupid now? How can there be no reward for a game of this size? And the reward is definitely beyond your imagination!"

Arthur leaned in front of old Harry and smiled, "Then tell me quickly, if the temptation is enough, I am willing to take some risks." ”

Old Harry rolled a glance at Arthur and said slowly: "If you can pass two rounds in a row, that is, achieve the top four results, according to the past practice, the Isaac Kingdom will reward 30,000 gold coins and add a first-class nobleman." Each King will take out a Level 8 Excellence piece of equipment, and the Emperor will take out a Level 9 piece of equipment, for a total of eight Excellence pieces of equipment as a prize for the champion team. In addition, the Imperial Library will be open to the two finalists for three days, and each team member will be able to choose a tier-level Fighting Spirit Duel or Martial Arts from the collection. ”

Arthur's eyes straightened a little, and this time he was really tempted.

Excellent-level equipment and ground-level martial arts are all good things, but what really makes Arthur excited is the opportunity for the Royal Library to open, the hidden danger of his "Danyang Refining God" Fighting Qi Duel cultivation has not been solved, and Arya's mind is still lost in the dark, these Arthurs are powerless, and may be able to find the answer from the Royal Library.

"I've done something, I'm waiting for you to inform me at any time in the academy. Arthur said with a determined gaze.

Old Harry smiled, "You don't have a choice in this matter, because not only do you have to participate in the Imperial Elite Academy Competition, but you also have to complete another thing!"

"One more thing?"

"Something to do with 'Divine Judgment'?"

"Didn't you let me provoke them?"

"I told you not to provoke them that doesn't mean you should stop investigating Keynes. ”

"Isn't that the same thing?"

"It's not. You've been caught up in the misconception that it was the 'Divine Damnation' that assassinated Keynes, and you want to bring them down completely. But you ignore that 'Judgment' is an assassin organization after all, they are just a knife, and the assassination of Keynes and your mercenary group is an entrusted mission from someone else, and the killer who assassinated Keynes has already been killed by you, so you should no longer hold on to the 'Judgment', but find a way to find out the task client, he is the real murderer behind the scenes. ”

At this moment, Arthur suddenly realized that old Harry was right, he was a fan of the authorities before.

"Then how am I supposed to find the original mission client through the 'Judgment'? ”

Old Harry suddenly lowered his voice, "You go to Arrantis and find someone, he might have a way to try." ”
