The imperial city, the guards division, the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The voice of the Dragon Queen Hilda gradually faded away. At this moment, a figure stepped on the lake water and landed in the pavilion in the middle of the lake … He came in front of the Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo.
"Teacher." Quark, who had just come to the Sacred Swordsman's side, had a solemn expression. "Do we need to do anything?"
The Sacred Swordsman was silent.
"Teacher?"
Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo slowly exhaled. "As long as the Dragon Emperor's barrier remains, the army outside the imperial city will not be able to enter. With the current strength of the guards division, the Forbidden Army, and the City Defense Force, it is simply unrealistic to want to control so many professionals."
"Teacher! The Dragon Queen has added the champion's reward … The Dragon Race's holy pool is equivalent to directly leading to the Holy Domain, reaching the heavens in a single bound. These professionals participating will go crazy. In this case, the imperial city will probably … "Quark frowned." Why would Queen Hilda give such an absurd order? "
"Absurd?" The Sacred Swordsman shook his head. "In my opinion, it is not absurd."
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
The Sacred Swordsman said faintly, "King Amos has already conquered all the countries. Although the world is now in a mess and the Kingdom of Elnis is already exhausted, it should be time to rebuild the world. However, we have no choice but to let a reality appear earlier."
Quark was stunned and seemed to be deep in thought. "You mean … the dragons of the continent?"
"The reality before His Majesty is … Apart from the dragons of the continent, he no longer has any enemies."
The Sacred Swordsman sighed and said, "Perhaps to the Dragon Queen who is the strongest, this current bit of power is not enough to enter her eyes. However, if the kingdom is allowed to continue to develop, I believe that one day, with the combined power of all the humans in the world, there will be a day when the Dragon Queen will fear them. Quark, now that the power of the entire new generation has gathered in the imperial city … Now, do you still think that this national tournament is just Her Highness the Princess' willfulness? "
"Does His Majesty not know?" Quark frowned. "With His Majesty's ability, he should have thought of this, but why does he still …"
"Who knows?"
Sword Saint Li Youlo shook his head. "No one has ever understood the thoughts of our emperor … Perhaps, he has never thought of dealing with the dragon race. Perhaps, he is now satisfied with having the entire world under his control … Perhaps, he truly dotes on the princess."
"Are we just going to watch?"
The Sword Saint was silent for a moment before he quickly said, "Take my order and order all the guards in the city to open up all the defense points in the city. Do your best to protect the civilians … We can't mobilize the guards and the city defense forces. The only thing we can do now is to … do what we can."
"Teacher, you?"
"I'm going to stay here for a while." The Sword Saint looked at the calm surface of the lake. "Ji Lian has fused with the Swordsoul Beast for a longer time than I thought … The power hidden in his body is probably even stronger than the Peace Between Man And Nature."
Quark subconsciously looked at the lake where countless broken swords of powerhouses were buried. A trace of envy flashed across his eyes.
The Sword Saint suddenly said, "The third Swordsoul Beast in the Sword Barrow should be born soon, but when it matures, I'll find a way to graft the bloodline of the highlands onto you from Ji Lian or the Peace Between Man And Nature so that you can have your own Swordsoul Beast … Quark, you've been following me for so many years, it's time for me to give you something in return."
"Thank you, teacher!" Quark knelt down to express his gratitude in surprise.
"Go." The Sword Saint waved his hand and said, "Remember, do what you can."
Looking at Quark's figure that was already far away, the Sword Saint sat on the stool in the lake pavilion and stared at the calm surface of the lake silently. "This storm came much faster than I thought. Yamos, are you caught off guard, or are you already prepared …? "
…
…
"We're not prepared at all!"
At the venue of the tournament, at the exit of the first building in the second stage of the tournament.
Dr. Görs furrowed his brows. He looked at the pale-faced Snève and Tina beside him. The three of them had crawled out from the examiner's killing intent attack in the end.
Even so, after crawling through the long path of killing intent, the trio's various resources had been greatly reduced, let alone their individual SAN points, which were practically ravaged to the bottom.
Originally, after clearing the first building, the contestants would be given some time to rest so that they could continue with the following challenges. Of course, they could also choose not to rest.
As for Dr. Görs and the other two who chose to rest first, they had not even sat down for more than a few minutes when the Dragon Queen's voice of changing the rules of the tournament rang out.
"Damn it, if I knew this would happen, we wouldn't have rushed to the first stage of the challenge so quickly."
Dr. Görs was quite confused at the moment. Not only him, the contestants who walked out of the first stage of the challenge were also confused.
"What do we do?" Tina looked up at him.
Dr. Görs gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it … Let's find that Luo guy first. The storm is about to start, fighting alone is not good for us!"
…
On the platform of the first building.
Holding a bone sword, the ordinary-looking young man glanced at the white-haired Sanctuary Master who had rolled off the platform and whose corpse had long since turned cold. Then, he slowly stood up.
"You're really reckless … Hilda." He smiled faintly and slowly walked down the steps of the platform. "Alright, I've collected most of the materials anyway."
Just as he walked down the platform, he jumped down into the hall below. At the same time, the motionless corpse of the white-haired Sanctuary Master under the platform suddenly trembled.
Then, the white-haired Sanctuary Master's arm suddenly shot up …
…
…
Almost all the contestants, whether they were in the second stage or the first stage of the elimination round … Even those who had been seeded early on and were the favorites to win the tournament were at a loss.
"This isn't a joke! This really isn't a joke! I saw the Orb! "
The Orb that fell from the sky fell directly into the first stage of the elimination round. Then, under countless gazes, it fell in front of a child who came with his family to join in the fun.
The Orb did not fall directly into the ground. Instead, it suddenly stopped and finally floated in front of the child … The Orb emitted a brilliant light.
The child in front of him subconsciously reached out to grab the Orb.
"No! Don't touch it! "The child's father screamed in horror at this moment.
However. The Orb had already fallen into the hands of the curious child.
He was very young, only a few years old. It was the age when he was full of curiosity about the unknown. When the Orb fell into his hands, the child raised it up and said happily, "Dad, look! Dad! "
Suddenly, it darkened.
The Orb suddenly fell to the ground, together with — with the child's palm.
"No —!" The child's father let out a mournful scream. The child whose hand had been chopped off fell to the ground, twitching in pain as if he couldn't breathe.
"The Orb! It's mine —! "
The child's father subconsciously hugged the child who had fallen to the ground tightly … He raised his head and saw countless gazes from all directions. They were like the gazes of hungry wolves. Together, they built a wall of darkness in front of him, blocking him.
Soon, the child and the child's father were drowned by the dark wall.
In his despair, he let out a final, mournful, and hateful roar … In the end, even his voice had already disappeared.
…
"You evil ghosts! I won't let you go even if I die … "
He abruptly opened his eyes, only to find that the terrifying gazes around him had disappeared … He was already in an alley behind a house.
At this moment, the child's father saw a handsome young man … who was holding his child with one hand.
"It's you … who saved me … I seem to have seen you somewhere …" The child's father was stunned, and then hurriedly got up, "My child! How is my child, is he … is he … "
"He's not dead, just fainted." The young man handed the child back to the father, "But I didn't get his palm back. Maybe it was trampled and can't be connected."
"It's good to be alive …" The child's father murmured, but he was so sad that he couldn't help but kneel down and cry.
"Hurry up and find a safe place to hide." The young man looked into the distance, "I'm afraid this chaos won't stop until dawn."
With this, the young man walked out.
"Sir! May I ask who you are … I don't even know your name! "
"I don't belong here." The young man didn't turn his head, "I don't belong here. It doesn't matter to you whether you know my name or not."
Looking at the back of the young man, the child's father was stunned … Suddenly, he remembered where he had seen this young man!
Yesterday, on the street of the king's city … this young man was the new champion of the fighting arena under the princess before the national competition started.
Hugging his child, he subconsciously chased out of the alley … Then, his footsteps stopped here.
He didn't see any trace of this young man. What he saw was the burning venue of the competition … The sparks were rising slowly, and the heat could be felt clearly even here.
Countless residents of the king's city were running away, and screams could be heard everywhere.
High intensity battles between Professionals could be seen everywhere … To the child's father, that was a demonic power.
Just a simple attack from them was enough to shatter rocks.
He was still holding his child, but he suddenly sat down on the ground, "How could this be … How could this be …"
The place where the flames engulfed was his home with his child.
…
…
He swung his sword in a circle, and several Professionals who surrounded him were instantly sent flying.
Mo Sang stabbed his sword into the ground and roared, "I am the number one follower of the general, Mo Sang. If you're not afraid of death, come and let me kill you! I'm so angry, I said I don't have the Orb! Which son of a bitch is framing me?! "
"Kill him! The Orb must be in his hands! "
"You're not afraid of death! I want to fight twenty of you! Come on! "
A-few-moments-later.
Mo Sang was indeed born with great strength … The Professionals who fainted in front of him had piled up into a small human mountain, but he was still not out of breath and his face was not red.
Perhaps it was because the deterrence was enough, no one dared to step forward anymore … Mose finally found the time to talk to his little brother.
"Little brother, it's very dangerous all around! Don't leave my side! "Mo Sang said in a rough voice," I'm very strong, but I can't run fast! If you go too far, I won't be able to catch up! "
"Thank you, Mr. Mo Sang."
In fact, since the beginning of the battle, Mo Sang had been protecting them very well. Even though the battle gradually became fierce, Boss Luo and Nan Xiaonan were not affected at all.
Perhaps, this was what Mr. Luo meant by convenience. With a bodyguard like Mo Sang … Mr. Luo's easy mode — Nan Xiaonan thought.
Regarding Mo Sang's protection, Boss Luo asked curiously, "Mr. Mo Sang, you've been protecting us. Aren't you afraid that we'll harm you in the end?"
"My mother said that people who ask these questions are usually good people who think for others!" Mo Sang said in a low voice, "Little brother, you're afraid that I'll waste my strength, right? Don't worry! My endurance is very good! When I was plowing the fields in the countryside, I was the one who plowed everyone's fields! "
"… The villagers in your hometown must be very sad when you leave the village." Nan Xiaonan could not help but say.
"Hey! How do you know? "
"If it were me, I'd be sad too." Nan Xiaonan shrugged, then waved her hand and said, "Mr. Mo Sang, let's not talk about this … Do you know how many roads there are to the palace from here? What's the easiest road and what's the hardest road? "
"Why are we going to the palace?" Mo Sang asked in surprise, "I haven't found the Orb yet."
Nan Xiaonan rubbed her bangs and said, "We don't even know who has the Orb now. How are you going to find it? Do you still remember what the Dragon Queen said? Only the person who brings the Orb to her will be the winner. In other words, no matter who gets the Orb, they'll have to go to the Dragon Queen. "
"I understand!" Mo Sang suddenly nodded, "Good plan! Why didn't I think of it! We just have to wait for the person with the Orb to appear at the end, and then we can snatch it! "
Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth, and said with a bitter smile, "I don't feel the thrill of being praised by you at all … If you can think of this, others can certainly think of it as well. Maybe there are many people who are hiding near the entrance of the Royal Palace, waiting to hunt us down. Even if we go there now, we'll at most be one of these hunters, and won't have much of an advantage."
"Then why did you ask me the way to the palace?" Mo Sang did not understand.
"If everyone can think of it, the person who gets the Orb will also think of it." Nan Xiaonan shook her head and said, "The palace will definitely be there. The key is which route the person who gets the Orb will choose. Generally speaking, the longer the Orb is in the hands of the person, the more dangerous it will be. Generally speaking, the person will choose the shortest route and hand the Orb to the Dragon Queen as soon as possible to win. But at the same time, the route is also the most dangerous … If the person who gets the Orb is smart enough, he may choose the route that seems to be the most difficult and the longest … Now, do you understand what I mean? "
Mo Sang thought for a while, then shook his head and said confidently, "I don't understand!"
"… If it weren't for the fact that you still have some use." Nan Xiaonan gritted her teeth and muttered, then said in a deep voice, "We have to choose the most difficult and time-consuming route to ambush, understand?"
"Understood!" Mo Sang nodded heavily, then said, "But, if the person who gets the Orb is not smart enough, he will not take the longest route, but the shortest one. Won't we miss the opportunity?"
Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth subconsciously.
This was a f * cking … Soul Interrogation?
"In that case, let's go directly to the real end and wait," Boss Luo said softly at this time, "Go to Queen Hilda's side and wait for the Orb to appear."
…
…
A moment ago.
The battle had not yet begun … but the Orb had already rushed from Queen Hilda's palm to the sky.
Outside the competition venue.
The soldiers were busy transporting the corpses of the contestants who died during the competition to a temporary resting place — a temporary wooden house.
There were dozens of such wooden houses in the vicinity … Now, they were all filled with fresh corpses.
"It seems that these houses will not be enough before sunset."
The wooden cart stopped, and the soldier dragged out a corpse that had just stopped breathing, then threw it into the house. Then, he turned his head and sighed, "I'm tired. At this time, I really want to go to Old Carl's pub for a drink … What happened to you?"
"Just now, did the corpse move?"
"Corpse?" The soldier looked at his colleague in surprise, then he was startled and said subconsciously, "Maybe it's not completely dead … Whatever, it's injured like this. Even if it's saved, it will be disabled."
"Okay … Maybe I saw it wrong."
They closed the door, then continued to push the wooden cart back to the competition venue — At this time, the Queen's voice had just sounded.
