Grey Merchant frowned when he saw the result.
It would be disadvantageous for them if they sent out someone first. Their opponent could choose who to send out first.
However, this thought only appeared for a second or two before disappearing. Although it was disadvantageous for them, the range of the battle was limited, which was a great advantage for them. The referee probably did this to balance things out.
Grey Merchant stopped thinking about these trivial matters and began to think about who should go up first.
Should he go up first, or should he let the evil woman go first?
He only knew about Dorcas, and Dorcas was definitely not the one he was looking for. Besides, Dorcas had a reputation. His bloodline had been exposed long ago. Grey Merchant's gemstone dragon bloodline naturally countered Dorcas, so it should not be a problem for him to fight Dorcas.
However, if he went up first, would Dorcas go up first?
Probably … After all, Dorcas was a pureblood wizard who supported the Declaration of Wheat, and Grey Merchant was a bloodline wizard. With his personality, he might be the first to jump out.
If he could get rid of Dorcas first, the other wizards would be easier to deal with. The only variable was the nose on the stone slab. Would he be a contestant? Would he?
While Grey Merchant was thinking, a light barrier suddenly covered their heads.
At the same time, the black-robed referee's voice entered their ears, "You have three minutes at most to discuss. Oh right, in this light barrier, external energy is completely isolated. You can discuss as much as you want, but it's best not to communicate with your mouth. "
The isolation of external energy meant that their communication through the Spirit Bond would not be detected by others.
Grey Merchant raised his head and thanked the referee, then turned to look at the evil woman. His voice came from the Spirit Bond, "I'll go first."
The evil woman floated in the air and did not reply. Instead, she looked at Grey Merchant with disdain, as if waiting for him to give a reason.
Grey Merchant pondered for a moment and told her his analysis.
After the evil woman heard this, she sneered, "Your analysis is correct, but you only see one aspect of the situation. You know about Dorcas, so why can't he know about you? "
Grey Merchant, "My identity has not been exposed."
The evil woman's half-exposed face revealed a disdainful smile. "As expected, even though the former you and the current you have similar strength, there is still a huge difference in essence."
Grey Merchant did not say anything.
"Can't you see?"
Hui Shang: "See what?"
The evil woman: "Do you still remember the situation outside when we stepped out of the door of the hanging staircase?"
Hui Shang recalled that when they stepped out of the hanging staircase, there was actually no one outside. At that time, they were very puzzled. Cang Jin had clearly said that they were there. Why couldn't they find them?
Soon after, the black-robed judge appeared and gave them a small test.
When he thought about this, Hui Shang vaguely understood what the evil woman meant.
If the other party didn't know of their arrival, why would they hide in advance? Why would the black-robed referee propose a test?
Moreover, the black-robed referee was so strong that the Cang Mirror Being could even let him be the referee. Why not let him deal with the target directly? The answer was obvious.
Seeing the flash of understanding in Hui Shang's eyes, the evil woman continued, "Do you understand now? This referee might not necessarily be on the same side as Cang Jin. After we came out of the hanging staircase, he also came out after a while. Maybe he was in the same place as those people before. "
"Do you remember what he said when you introduced yourself? He knows who you are. "
"If he knows who you are, and he might not be on the same side as Cang Jin, he might even be related to those people. Why do you think Dorcas doesn't know that you have the bloodline of the Gem Earth Dragon? Who knows, he might have already leaked your information. "
The evil woman said calmly, "Not just you. Maybe he leaked our information too."
Hui Shang was speechless this time. The evil woman's words were not without reason. Although it was all speculation, the evil woman's intuition had always been sharp, and the doubts she raised were indeed inexplicable.
In the way of survival for wizards, it was not wrong to be too cautious, but it was a sin to be too optimistic.
If Dorcas really knew that he had the bloodline of a Gemstone Earth Dragon, Dorcas definitely wouldn't have gone up. Then his assumption would not exist.
"It's either me or you. You want to go first? "Hui Shang said in a deep voice.
The evil woman: "As long as you activate your bloodline, your information will be exposed. But I'm different. The parts I had yesterday are different from the parts I have today. Even that black-robed judge can't predict what organs I'll modify today. "
"As for me, if they deal with it based on past information … Haha, empiricism will get you killed."
At this point, even if the evil woman did not express her opinion, her meaning was obvious.
Hui Shang thought for a moment and finally nodded, "You can go first. However, you have to be careful of that strange nose. It has a certain probability that it is … "
The evil woman waved her hand, "I understand. You don't have to say it. However, compared to the nose on the stone slab, I'm more concerned about the wizard who can cast illusions. I have a feeling that he's not a nobody. "
After saying this through the spirit bond, the evil woman took the initiative to untie the bandage on Hui Shang's wrist. She slowly floated forward and finally passed through the light barrier to arrive at the center of the arena.
The Wise Ruler saw the evil woman pass through the barrier and understood that she would be the first wizard to go up.
This was not surprising. He had the least information about the evil woman. As a Modification Wizard, no one could tell exactly how often she changed her bloodline, limbs, and organs.
Therefore, everything about the evil woman, including her tactics, skills, abilities, talents, and bloodline, was unknown.
No one knew which of her abilities would work against them. Therefore, the woman's appearance was more stressful for Angor's side than the gray merchant's.
However, Angor's team already had a plan. Angor would fight Hui Shang, and Dorcas would be the one to deal with the evil woman.
When the evil woman showed up, a symbolic light barrier appeared around Angor's side so that they could discuss among themselves.
However, Dorcas did not need to talk at all.
Looking at Dorcas's back, Vail opened his mouth and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Don't be fooled by a witch like you were back then."
Dorcas had originally thought that he was walking very confidently, but when he heard Vale's words, he almost stumbled.
Dorcas calmed himself down and put on an indifferent look, "I'm not who I used to be anymore. Just wait and see."
"Let's see how you're going to lose."
Dorcas grumbled, "I'm going to return victorious!"
With that, Dorcas no longer had the mood to argue with Wai and strode to the center of the stage.
On the other side, Hui Shang sighed when he saw Dorcas going up first. He was now sure that Dorcas already knew about him.
Otherwise, Dorcas would have waited for him to go first, considering his dislike of Blood Wizards.
Now that Dorcas showed up before the evil woman, it meant that the evil woman's guess was correct. This black-robed judge might not be on the same side as Hidden Mirror Man.
But even so, he was willing to be the judge, and Hidden Mirror Man agreed to it. This was something worth thinking about.
A limited confrontation, but not an enemy?
Was this some kind of survival rule in the underground maze?
While Hui Shang was guessing, Dorcas had already reached the center of the stage and lazily pulled out the red sword at his waist. With a flash of red light, Dorcas twirled the sword around before pointing it at the ground. He then stretched out his other hand and hooked his index finger at the evil woman in what he thought was a dashing manner.
The evil woman floating in the air didn't get angry at Dorcas' provocation. Instead, she clicked her tongue twice, "Red Sword, Dorcas … It's a bit different from what I imagined."
When the evil woman called out Dorcas' name, she purposely paused for a moment.
Dorcas asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
The evil woman said, "The Dorcas in my mind is a gentleman. He wouldn't hit a woman. But I didn't expect that you would be the first to fight me. "
Dorcas snorted, "I'm no gentleman. Aren't you just trying to make me go easy on you? I won't. "
Dorcas didn't even wait for the Wise Ruler to start. He pointed his red sword and his entire body seemed to merge with it, turning into a red line that slashed towards the evil woman.
Faced with this sudden red line, the evil woman's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, but she didn't panic at all.
Just as the red thread was about to touch the evil woman's body, the bandages suddenly spread out from the evil woman's body at a speed as fast as a phantom. They were like white tentacles that wrapped tightly around the red thread.
As the red line was wrapped up, Dorcas' figure slowly appeared.
Dorcas shook lightly, trying to break the bandages around his sword, but the bandages' tenacity was beyond his imagination. He used a lot of strength, but apart from loosening the bandages a little, they didn't show any signs of breaking.
However, the loosening of the bandages allowed Dorcas to smoothly pull out his sword.
Dorcas didn't hesitate. With a flash, he prepared to go around her back.
But before he could do anything, an enormous pressure descended from the sky.
Dorcas and the evil woman were both suppressed by this pressure and fell from the sky. The one who had released this pressure was, without a doubt, the Wise Ruler in the air.
"I didn't say that attacking before the start is a violation of the rules. This is the only time. If you do it again, I will directly throw you out of the arena. "
After saying this, the extremely powerful pressure slowly dissipated.
Dorcas and the evil woman finally had a chance to breathe.
Dorcas flipped over, mumbling something as he returned to his original position. The evil woman once again floated into the air, but a haze flashed through her eyes.
Before, she had only guessed that Dorcas and the others had made some sort of deal with this black-robed judge and obtained their information. But now, it seemed that the black-robed judge was on the same side as the other party.
Although it was called a punishment, there was actually no punishment at all. In fact, the descent of the pressure had directly wiped out all the pheromones floating in the air.
This was tantamount to destroying the evil woman's baiting spell.
Although the evil woman's teeth itched with hatred, she didn't dare to say anything in front of the Wise Ruler's powerful strength.
She could only glare fiercely at Dorcas.
Dorcas felt the fierce glare and turned around. But at this moment, the evil woman put away her evil look and laughed, "The judge was right to stop you. Your actions are not gentlemanly at all."
Dorcas said unhappily, "Don't talk about gentlemanly things. I'm not gentlemanly."
"Is that so?" The evil woman suddenly smiled. "Six years ago, I went to Manda Plane to attend a small tea party. I met an unfamiliar witch at the tea party. Someone asked me a question. She asked me which man was the most gentlemanly in the world of adepts in the southern region. Guess who that witch was talking about? "
Dorcas asked suspiciously, "From what you're saying, the gentleman she was talking about wasn't me, was it?"
The evil woman said word by word, "Yes. Yes. Oh."
Dorcas was shocked by this news, but the Wise Ruler in the air had no intention of gossiping. He directly said, "If you have the ability, then let's chat while we fight. I now declare that the battle begins. "
Dorcas immediately began to attack as soon as the Wise Ruler's words fell.
As for the 'gentlemanly' question that the evil woman had mentioned, he didn't care at all. Victory was the most important thing before anything else.
However, the evil woman didn't stop there. She continued to dodge as she continued, "Do you know why she said that you were the most gentlemanly male adept of the Southern Region?"
Dorcas didn't answer, and his attacks became even more ferocious.
The evil woman answered her own question, "Because she said that you never fought with women. Even when a woman stepped on you, you still wouldn't draw your sword. "
Dorcas's movements suddenly paused, but soon, he became even faster than before.
The evil woman: "Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. Her name is … Yuna. "
Dorcas looked up and narrowed his eyes.
…
"Yuna?" Angor repeated the name in a low voice. "Is there such a wizard in the Southern Region?"
Angor looked up and saw Khael looking at him. Khael thought Angor was asking about him and quickly shook his head. "S-sir, I've never heard of her either."
Khael didn't forget to drag his fellow apprentice aside. "What do you think?"
But Wa's expression was subtle. After a while, he said, "Yuna, I know."
Both Angor and Khael looked at Khael in surprise.
Khael considered. "When Dorcas went up, didn't I tell him not to get played like a fool by a witch?"
Khael nodded. "Yes, I remember. I wanted to ask about it, but … "He didn't want to gossip.
"That witch is Yuna. She was still an apprentice like us back then, and we went on adventures together for a while."
When Wa Yi said this, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
