It was the afternoon of the second day. Li Huailin was participating in the S-rank professional round-robin tournament in the arena of Brasov City, the capital of the neutral nation. Since today's matches were cross-faction matches, he was arranged to participate here. Of course, today's matches were also unusually easy. The main reason was that the Dark Side's most capable player, Magic Kitchen, had been successfully defeated by Li Huailin. Today's opponents were all very tanky players. Li Huailin unsurprisingly obtained four wins and improved his team's score to 13-11. He also rose to 12th place. (Some of the players had one less match, so their rankings were higher.)
Looking at the current point ranking, there were a total of 31 matches. Li Huailin only had 7 small matches and 2 big matches left. If there were no surprises, the final result should be 20 wins and 11 losses. Li Huailin estimated that with this ranking, he should be able to enter the top 10, so there should be no problem for him to participate in the finals.
Conveniently, Li Huailin also looked at the results of the other players. He found that the newcomers this time were all pretty good. Li Huailin's company's newcomer, Famous General Talent, was currently ranked 16th. In other words, he had a chance of entering the finals. Jiang Xueyi was ranked 20th, so he also had a chance. The best performance among the newcomers was the guy called Sharpshooter from the ZTE Group. His current ranking was even higher than Li Huailin's. Above him were the names of a few people that Li Huailin was more familiar with. Magic Kitchen, Worlds Apart, Feng Yiliu, Like The Wind, Jade Emperor Summoning, and so on. In the elimination zone, apart from a few regulars (who were also eliminated last season), Li Huailin also saw the name of Fire Beacon Lianzhan. It seemed that he was also having a hard time.
But speaking of matchups, Li Huailin discovered a more troublesome thing, and that was Anran's matter. Li Huailin's necklace now had a record point on Anran's body. It was all for the Heirloom of Honesty that Anran had. Previously, he planned to take away Anran during the competition and then conveniently obtain it. In the end, the plan went well, but now there was an accident. He realized that he had missed the match between him and Anran when he was banned from the previous competition. He only realized this matter now. Wasn't there no reasonable way to get it back?
"Are we going to hack Anran to death?" Li Huailin did some research. This was a bit troublesome. He was the only Cleric in his party. This … wasn't too good.
After thinking about it, there might still be a chance. After all, even if they didn't meet in the round-robin stage, it was still possible to meet in the finals. Even if they didn't meet in the finals, they might still meet in the Nations Cup. Anyway, he had to try all reasonable methods first. If it didn't work out, he would think of another way. Anyway, he wasn't in urgent need of this item now.
Although the Heirloom was related to an S-rank mission that Li Huailin had completed, he still didn't know what it was used for. Sometimes, it would even deduct Li Huailin's attributes. If it wasn't for the sake of seeing what rewards he could get after completing an S-rank mission, Li Huailin wouldn't have bothered to do it.
Li Huailin pondered as he walked. He looked at the time. It was already 2 o 'clock in the afternoon. Until now, he still hadn't received any notification from Tianyu Company. Logically speaking, the company should have seen the situation on the forum by now. But why hadn't there been any response until now? It was very strange.
Since Li Huailin couldn't wait for it, he didn't intend to deliberately look for it. The competition was over. Li Huailin walked in the direction of the teleportation point as he walked.
"Huh?" As he walked, Li Huailin suddenly saw a familiar figure. Moreover, it was coming out of a place that he was very familiar with.
"Heaven's Corner?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised. Heaven's Corner didn't have a competition today, and the place he walked out of was a little strange. If he remembered correctly, there was only one building in that direction, and that was Brasov's Cathedral. It was also where the Radiant Church's headquarters was located.
Heaven's Corner didn't see Li Huailin. This was because Li Huailin was currently standing at the entrance of the teleportation point. There was a lot of traffic here, so Heaven's Separation probably didn't notice him. Li Huailin looked at Heaven's Corner and didn't come to the teleportation point. Instead, he directly walked towards the south side of the city.
"Should I follow and take a look?" Li Huailin was a little curious. Since the other party came from the Cathedral, did that mean that they were in contact with the Pope? He recalled that the Cathedral had also issued a quest to find Heaven's Corner. Could it be that other players had already completed the quest, so Heaven's Corner had already contacted the Pope?
"Ah … Forget it." After thinking for a moment, Li Huailin decided not to follow them. There were fewer players there, and Li Huailin didn't have any tracking skills. If he followed them, it would be very embarrassing. However, Li Huailin still decided to find out what the other party was going to do. Of course, the target of his inquiry was the Cathedral. After all, Li Huailin was now a Cardinal of the Radiant Church and a confidant of Pope Caroline. There shouldn't be a problem with this kind of thing.
Thinking up to this point, Li Huailin directly walked towards the Radiant Church. Now, he should be able to enter and leave without being stopped.
At the same time, in the main city of the Humans, Blessed City, preparations had begun for the prisoner offering ceremony. The streets had been crowded with commoners who were ready to watch the ceremony. After all, it was the first time for humans and demons to capture a marshal of the other side, even though humans and demons had been fighting for hundreds of years. Naturally, they had to come and watch this historic moment.
Many other players had also come to watch the commotion. When they saw that a large number of NPCs had gathered here for some unknown reason, they gathered to see if there were any Hidden Quests. For a time, the entire street was filled to the brim.
In the Palace, Anthony was also dressing up and preparing for the speech he would give during the ceremony. In this aspect, Anthony was still lacking. Fortunately, Marina was more knowledgeable and had already written a script for Anthony. Now, Anthony was thinking of a way to memorize it, but at this moment, he was interrupted by a guard.
"What? You said that Gordon wants to see me? Now? "Anthony looked at the Royal Guard who was reporting to him. Of course, Gordon had already been escorted into the city. The ceremony was, of course, just a show. Anthony didn't expect Gordon to want to see him at this time.
"Yes, Gordon kept saying that he wants to see you, Your Highness. He also said that it's something closely related to the survival of the Humans. I didn't dare to be careless, so I immediately came to report," the guard said.
"Idiot!" Knight Captain Delnate immediately shouted. "Are you stupid? The other party is the Demons. How can you believe his words!? Do you know what time it is now? The ceremony is about to begin. Do you want everyone to wait? "
"Yes, Captain," the guard quickly admitted his mistake.
Anthony, on the other hand, didn't find it strange. Delnate's words made sense, and Anthony didn't want to see Gordon. He really had nothing to say to the Demons. However, Marina, who was arranging his clothes behind him, suddenly said, "Interesting. Your Highness, why don't we go and see the Marshal of the Demons? It's something that concerns the survival of the Humans. I'm a little curious. Your Highness, aren't you curious?"
"Curious … I am a little curious," Anthony said. "But the ceremony is about to begin."
"Yes, Your Highness. It's not safe. We don't know what the other party is planning. They are the Demons. We can't trust them at all." Delnate, who was next to her, also vetoed from a safety perspective.
"They only want to see me?" Anthony asked. "Didn't the others say anything?"
"Yes, they said it's a very important matter. They must not let others hear it," the guard relayed.
"Hmm … okay." Anthony thought about it and nodded. "Let's go and see what they have to say."
Just as Delnate was about to object, Anthony immediately stopped him. "Don't worry. It won't take much time. Besides, I'm not a guy who can't even truss a chicken."
After saying that, Anthony walked out. Delnate had no choice but to follow behind Anthony.
Soon, Anthony brought Marina, Delnate, and a few royal knights to where Gordon was being held. Although he was a prisoner, Gordon still had to go on stage later. So, he couldn't look so bad that others wouldn't recognize him as the Marshal of the Demons. So, Gordon's cell was still quite clean.
In the cell, Gaden was shackled with magically enhanced combat aura disrupting shackles. With Gaden's heavily injured body, it was impossible for him to break free. But even so, Dernate was still very nervous. He kept staring at Gaden who was sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"I'm here. What do you want to tell me? And it's something that concerns the survival of the human race? I'm really curious to hear what it is." Anthony took a step forward fearlessly and looked down at Gordon in the cell as he asked, "What's wrong?
"Is it … the new king of the human race …" Gordon looked up weakly. Anthony was wearing the emperor's attire for the ceremony, so it was very obvious. No one else in the human race dared to wear this, so Anthony confirmed Anthony's identity. "Hmph … Hahahaha …"
"Oh, a defeated general is still laughing? Don't you know what to laugh about? Tell me, "Anthony said with a frown.
"I'm laughing at how idiotic you humans are. No one actually discovered that the Duke of Aquitaine is a traitor …" Gordon said while laughing.
"What?!" Dernate was shocked.
"Hmm?" Anthony was also stunned. Then, he instantly became angry. "What nonsense are you talking about? Someone … just kill him!"
