Lord of War

Number: 3; Time: 10:25.

Contestant: Sean Connery.

This is the information recorded on the identity card Sean got.

The number next to the number is naturally the number of the battle arena, like the number three, which means that Sean should report to the third ring.

The scale of the Lion Arena is already comparable to those of the Empire Arena, so in fact, there are more than a dozen sub-arenas with an area of ​​about 500 square meters and the most central one. An open-air circular field of more than a thousand square meters. Basically, there are various duels in the sub-arena area every day for people to have fun, and the central open-air ring-shaped duel field is open once a month, but on the third, sixth, ninth, and tenth of each year 2. There will be more large-scale bloody competitions in these four months.

But for this martial arts festival, the interior of the fighting arena has naturally undergone a series of renovations and planning.

Although King Ryan's speech was arranged in the central open-air ring arena, but because of the preparations made by the magicians in advance, his voice naturally spread throughout the arena. After this speech was over, the official martial arts competition started, so there was naturally a crowd of people in the fighting arena at this time, and many people chose to go to the arena area they were interested in to watch.

Among them, the most popular ones are naturally Sean's No. 3 ring and the ring competitions of several other talents who are obviously valued by all countries.

Fortunately, because of the structure and layout of the fighting arena, the contestants entering through the Blood Gate do not need to act together with other people, but have a special channel exclusively for them.

Follow the instructions of the personnel in the arena. Sean soon came to the player lounge in the third ring area.

Here, there is already a young man who is resting with his eyes closed.

This is a young man with reddish hair, but it is not as red as the young man from Hales Kingdom that Sean saw before.

Sean didn't spend long in the Kingdom of Hales in the game. Therefore, things like the customs and habits of this kingdom are naturally not very clear. The only thing Sean knows is that the Kingdom of Hales is a kingdom of pure blood. Basically, there are only two types of people in the country, namely, nobles with red hair and commoners with mottled hair.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Hales are all brothers bestowed by the founding emperor. If their bloodlines are traced back, they are basically the same ancestors, so the nobles of the Kingdom of Hales will more or less have red hair. color. It is said that the source of the red hair color is the unique blood of their ancestors, so the brighter the red hair color, the purer their blood. Therefore, as long as you see people with red hair in the Kingdom of Hales, they are basically nobles or their descendants.

As for the common people, the highest status they can achieve in their lifetime is a lifelong nobleman of the real power faction. But even though this noble status cannot be hereditary. However, their children can also obtain a series of elite education that is not inferior to ordinary nobles before their father dies, but whether they can climb back into the ranks of nobles depends on their own efforts and talents. without

Although the system of the Kingdom of Hales is somewhat deformed compared to other countries, it is unexpected that the Kingdom of Hales has a strong cohesion and centripetal force. There has never been a reactionary born. This is indeed difficult for many people to understand. However, as Xiao En who came from the Earth Federation, it is not difficult to understand this, because the real technology and strength are in the hands of the upper nobles,

Unless the lower class people leave the country, they can only do things in full accordance with the rules of the game of the Kingdom of Hales.

Because of this, when Sean saw the Hales boy in the lounge, Sean knew that he must be a blood relative of a Hales nobleman. Of course, if judged from the hair color. The blood of this young man is probably so thin that he is almost no different from a commoner. This is also a manifestation of the extremely cruel competition in the Kingdom of Hales, even if he is an heir born of a nobleman. But if the hair color is not red enough, then he will be exiled by the family.

In the Kingdom of Hales, being exiled by a noble family usually only means one thing.

That's orphans.

But the young man in front of him may be lucky, because his hair color is not enough to make him exiled.

It's just that the more this is the case, the more dangerous this type of person is.

Sean sighed helplessly.

The Marquis of Floris did give Sean some basic information about this opponent, which naturally included a portrait. But the sketch of the portrait is in black and white, so naturally there will be no information about the shade of the opponent's hair. Originally, Sean thought that the distant relative of a certain nobleman recorded in the data was just a kind of politeness, but he didn't expect that it was actually a kind of kindness. Very understated modesty.

In the Kingdom of Hales, a country with pure bloodlines, the young man in front of Xiao En may not be able to enter the sight of noble families above the earl title for the rest of his life, because for Hales nobles at this level, he and those who are ruled by the family Orphans in exile are no different.

Hearing Sean's footsteps, the young man slowly opened his eyes, looking at Sean with an unusually cold look: "Are you my opponent this round?"

Sean chuckled and nodded slightly.

"Hmph." But he didn't want to, and the other party sneered even more contemptuously, "Then I advise you to surrender earlier."

"Why?" Sean knew that a Halesian like this was very difficult, but he didn't expect that the other party would have the courage to ask him to surrender as soon as he opened his mouth. Could it be that the other party didn't see that there was still some gap between the two of them? ?

Sean felt that the other party was also very hardworking.

"You are not my opponent." The other party said in a deep voice, "I will give you three seconds to surrender when you are on the court. If you are not willing to surrender, then it's okay, but I guarantee you will feel extremely sorry for it regret."

"Oh?" Sean felt that the other party was really very arrogant, and this kind of arrogance was far beyond his strength. To put it bluntly, it was completely equivalent to ignorance. "Then what will you do if I don't surrender?"

"Then you will be in great pain." The young man grinned grimly, and used the common language of the mainland in the first half of the sentence. But the second half of the sentence is Hales official language, "I will break your limbs in an instant, and then jam your throat, so that you can't speak or struggle at all, so that you can fully feel The pain of suffocation and the fear of imminent death. At that point, you will regret why you didn't follow my advice in the first place."

Sean kept a hint of doubt on his face at the right time.

Then he saw the bloodthirsty desire in the other's eyes.

He felt a little pity for what happened to the other party, in fact, for Hales orphans like this who were on the verge of exile. Sean did have that tinge of pity. After all, their life experiences in the past might not be much better than Cecilia's in that period of escape. Similarly, Sean is also very clear that in order to finally be able to stand here today and represent the Kingdom of Hales in the competition, this poor boy has paid a lot. What a great effort and cost. But these are not reasons for Sean to sympathize with the other party.

The teenager didn't speak again, and Sean didn't talk to him again.

Soon, a voice full of unique melodies sounded, and Sean and the boy knew it tacitly. This is when the duel begins. then. The two turned around and walked towards the passages on the left and right. There are two passages in these lounges, one is lit with red light and the other is lit with blue light, which just corresponds to the color of the ID cards in their hands, so there is no need to explain that they are Know which way you want to go.

After a brief dark journey, the two see light at the end of their respective paths.

As the exit approached, bursts of cheers resounded like waves one after another.

"Now! Both contestants of the Martial Arts Festival have officially appeared!" A deep voice sounded from the edge of the ring. His voice didn't sound particularly loud, but it was very clear. This is obviously the credit of the amplifying magic circle, "The one in blue is Zordo from the Kingdom of Hales. Although he has the strength of a high-ranking silver man, he has the ability to survive for three minutes under the hands of the strong gold man." Combat records!"

Hearing the host's words, Sean finally understood why the host had such an arrogant attitude.

From a certain point of view, there is an insurmountable gap between silver masters and gold powerhouses. Only a very small number of so-called "strongest silver" like Xiao En are barely qualified to challenge gold powerhouses, but at most That is to say, to achieve a record similar to self-protection or being able to escape from the hands of the strong gold. If it wasn't for Sean himself not being a native of this world, and having an attribute panel that could be compared to the gold powerhouse, he wouldn't be able to confront the gold powerhouse at all.

Therefore, Zuo Du was able to sustain the attack of a strong gold man for three minutes, which indeed had enough arrogance.

Especially this Hales boy has not yet reached the level of the upper silver peak, at best, he is at the level of the sixth level, the eighth level or the ninth level. Of course, it doesn't rule out that the gold powerhouse has the suspicion of being merciful, but this is more proof that this Hales boy named Zordo does have the potential to be valued.

However, although the host has tried his best to promote the good news, he still failed to win the favor of the Ryan people.

"Hush!"

Bursts of boos and jeers echoed in the surrounding stands, some of which were even mixed with a few curses.

The faces of a dozen or so people who should be from the Kingdom of Hales looked extremely ugly amidst the boos and jeers. Obviously they didn't expect such a result, so it was inevitable that a small physical conflict broke out in the stands first, but fortunately the conflict was not too violent, of course, it may also be due to the difference in strength, anyway, it was a disadvantage Instead, it was the Ryan people, but the conflict was quickly stopped.

"The one in red is our Lord of the Void, Sean Connery!" After briefly introducing the Halesian named Zordo, the host suddenly roared in an extremely excited voice , "About the deeds of the Duke of the Void, do you think I need to repeat it!?"

"No need!" A burst of more fanatical shouts almost toppled the dome of the entire No. 3 ring.

The Hales boy named Zuo Du looked coldly at the strong and obvious front and back attitudes of the audience in the stands, and he clenched his teeth with a ferocious expression. Then he looked at Sean who was about two hundred meters away. From Zordo's point of view, he didn't think Sean was so powerful, after all, Sean was not much older than him. He subjectively thinks that Sean is just a nobleman who grew up under the shadow of his ancestors, and he even thinks that the so-called "Duke of the Void" is just a nickname, because he has never seen such a young duke .

Of course, there are still some rumors. After all, in some ancient countries, if a duke died suddenly, his eldest son would naturally succeed him. And Ryan has just been promoted to a kingdom. To actually give such an important duke title to a young man, this must be some kind of emperor's mind to appease him.

"I'll definitely make you guys stunned in a moment." Zuo Du whispered with a ferocious face, "I'll let a guy faint in front of you like this. I'll even make him incontinent!"

There is nothing more exciting than humiliating a Duke in front of the entire Ryan Kingdom.

Even if the Duke is just an embroidered pillow.

"As for the judgment of victory or defeat, as long as one party surrenders, it will be considered over, and once someone surrenders, if the other party continues to shoot. Then both parties will lose the qualification to continue participating. Of course. In addition, once one party is ruled to lose If the combat ability or the difference in strength between the two is too large, then one side will be directly judged to be disqualified." As usual, the guy who resembled the host continued to say in a deep voice, "The winner will enter the next round of competition.  … In the end, I have to remind the two of you that although there are no restrictions on the competition, I still hope that no one will die here as much as possible.... Please prepare yourself!"

Xiao En moved his hands and feet a little, and then drew out the long sword at his waist.

This is a long sword that is pitch black, whether it is the hilt, the hood or even the blade. They are all as dark as an abyss, and they seem to have an unspeakable dark atmosphere. However, there was no dark aura exuding from the entire long sword.

This is the product of Xiao En's transformation of the dead bones in the first stage, the Black King.

Although the entire long sword has not been completely remodeled, so the specific attribute values ​​​​and related special abilities cannot be seen yet, but through some tests, Xiao En can be sure that this long sword has indeed brought him absolute agility. growth advantage. At the same time, the long sword also has dual special effects of breaking magic and breaking qi. The former can directly annihilate all magic reaction effects; the latter has a similar effect to "Sword Wound. Dark Collapse" that can reduce the power of all battle qi skills. Effect.

These changes alone are enough to make the Black King far more valuable than dead bones.

At the same time, it has also demonstrated that the future value and power of the Black King must be above the dead bones.

After checking his own situation a little bit, after making sure that there was no problem, Sean made a gesture. This is one of the rules of the Ryan Dou Arena. Any match must be confirmed by both parties before it can start. And the young man named Zuo Du made the ready gesture a few minutes earlier than Sean: he made this gesture almost when the host said "Please get ready".

After confirming that both parties are ready, the host didn't talk nonsense, and directly shouted: "The game begins!"

In an instant, Xiao En had fully understood the fighting style of Zordo, the boy from Hales.

This is also a person who relies on agility to make a living, and it is a relatively rare advanced class of fast stealing.

This young man has excellent reflexes and dynamic vision, because he rushed towards Sean at a very fast speed almost the moment the host announced the start of the game. However, he failed to escape Zuo Du's lock after several successive turns during high-speed movement.

Both sides are charging at each other at breakneck speed.

Although the arena's playing field is nearly 500 meters long, in fact the positions of the two sides are only less than 200 meters away from each other. Such a large space is just to allow the battle to have more room to play. But when faced with two contestants who choose to fight fast, such a wide field naturally becomes a decoration, because the two sides will have a contact battle in three seconds.

fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Eleven meters.

When the distance was close enough to Sean's shot, Zuo Du's eyes instantly locked on Sean's right shoulder. , cut, etc. any action. The first thing to react must be the shoulder of the hand holding the sword.

From this point of view, Zuo Du's actual combat experience is obviously very rich.

And the moment he saw Sean's right shoulder move, his speed suddenly increased again. Instead, he rushed towards Sean without retreating, and at the same time his gaze moved from Sean's right shoulder to Sean's sword.

This is a special ability that he has mastered through countless life and death trials, and it is also a special ability that only people with enviable dynamic vision like him can possess: judging the enemy's attack trajectory. Of course, in the game, there is also a matching skill. This is a very difficult passive skill. After mastering this skill, you can see the trajectory of almost all tangible attacks.

At this moment, Zordo could see Xiao En's stabbing sword.

my left shoulder? Zuo Du sneered, then turned sideways slightly, he knew that he was in sight of victory.

So at this time, the distance between him and Sean was less than four meters. And as long as he is allowed to take a step forward, then he can lock all of Sean's attack distances, thus allowing the rhythm of the battle to completely fall under his control. Then he can realize what he said to Sean in the break room earlier.

Dodge sideways, success!

Zordo successfully dodged Xiao En's attack, and the excitement that the victory was coming appeared on his face instantly.

But!

The next moment, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his limbs!

what happened! ?

Zuo Du's mind became a little dazed and blank at this moment. He was completely unable to comprehend what had happened. But he can at least know. He was definitely under attack. In an instant, Zuo Du's first reaction was to pull back immediately. He had to open the distance first, and then figure out how the opponent attacked him, otherwise he would never win this battle.

From this point of view, Zuo Du's reaction and combat experience are indeed very rich and sufficient.

It's a pity that his opponent is the group of people whose combat experience and skills can almost be said to be at the top of the world.

The consciousness of stepping back and keeping a distance has already descended from Zuo Du's mind to his body, but his body has not faithfully accepted it. Instead, they disobeyed like soldiers who disobeyed orders. So in the next second, all the spectators on the ring clearly saw Zuo Du fell to the ground.

Although none of these people figured out exactly what happened. They didn't even catch the traces of Xiao En and Zordo from the beginning to the end, but at this time they still broke out an amazing wave of cheers. Only those people from Hales Kingdom looked at the field solemnly. With their strength, they could barely see the figures of Zuo Du and Xiao En, but how did Zuo Du get tricked? Yes, but they also couldn't see clearly.

"No wonder you were so arrogant in the waiting room before." Xiao En smiled slightly, and then put his sword back into its sheath, "It turns out that you have mastered two special abilities....Extremely fast capture and detection. I thought it was gold to fight you It seems that I was wrong because the strong didn’t do anything serious to allow you to last for three minutes. It’s really no problem to have these two abilities to last for three minutes.”

"Are you humiliating me!" Zuo Du roared angrily.

"Yeah, I'm really humiliating you." Sean nodded with a smile, "Let me think about it, what did you say in the lounge just now?"

While pretending to be in deep thought, Xiao En took a step forward, and then stepped on Zuo Du's throat.

This action naturally made Zuo Du feel hard to breathe.

However, even though he really wanted to reach out and tear off Sean's feet, no matter how he ordered in his mind, his hands and feet didn't move at all.

"Don't waste your energy in vain." Xiao En leaned down slightly, and then said with a smile.

As for Zuo Du, when he heard Xiao En's words, his face became even more difficult to look.

Not only because of difficulty breathing, but also because of fear, because Sean spoke the official language of the Kingdom of Hales. Usually when a person can speak the official language of a certain country, it also means that the other party can fully understand the official language of the country. In other words, Sean naturally listened to Zordo's threats and humiliation to Sean in the waiting room.

"I've cut off all the tendons in your limbs, so you can't control your body." Sean continued to speak in Hales' official language, "And now I'm stepping on your throat again, are you Aren't you having trouble breathing?...Hey, do you think this sounds like what you just said to me? What's breaking your limbs. And then stuck your throat, making you completely speechless and unable to speak Struggling, allowing you to fully feel the pain of suffocation and the fear of imminent death. '...Well, how does it feel?"

While talking, Sean's feet also increased their strength.

Soon, Zuo Du's face became as pale as a pig's liver.

But at this moment, Sean's right foot relaxed slightly.

Zordo immediately let out a violent cough. But a second later, like a drowning man finally being saved, he began to gasp desperately. A breath of fresh air. Even those Hales people far away in the stands could see Zordo's chest heaving violently like a drum.

"It's better to breathe in the fresh air." Xiao En's right foot increased his strength again, and Zuo Du immediately fell into the pain of suffocation again.

After repeating this two or three times, whether it was the stands, the host or even the so-called referees. It has also been seen that the situation is not good at this time. It's just that whether Zordo should be ruled to be incapacitated immediately has fallen into controversy. Because Zuo Du didn't seem to be seriously injured at this time, and he was obviously still capable of fighting, but no one knew why he didn't get up.

"I, I admit..."

Before Zuo Du could say the word "lose", Xiao En stepped on it again, making him completely speechless.

"There are some things, don't say them too early." Sean said with a dark face. Shen Sheng said.

"You...what on earth do you want to do!"

"Tell me your detection skills." Sean said in a deep voice.

"What is the skill of seeing through?" Zuo Du was a little confused.

"It's how you saw that I wanted to stab your right shoulder just now." Sean continued.

see through. This is a passive skill known as a close combat skill, it can see through the trajectory of almost all tangible attacks. Although this passive skill can only see the approximate attack range at a relatively low level, once it reaches an advanced level, you can see the aiming point like a crosshair. You can dodge as you want, block as you want, parry as you want, and counterattack as you want.

Of course, the proficiency points required to burn skills are also extremely large.

However, compared to the difficulty of getting started with this skill, a large number of proficiency points is nothing.

Sean didn't get this skill in the game at the beginning, he just heard that it was powerful, but now he officially has the opportunity to get this skill, how could he miss it.

"Even if I tell you, it's impossible for you to learn it!" Hearing Xiao En's words, Zuo Du immediately retorted without hesitation, "It needs..."

Sean stepped on it with one foot, and soon Zordo coughed violently again.

"You just need to tell me, whether you say it or not." Sean said coldly, "If you say it, I will let you go. But if you don't say it, I can guarantee that you will never live long. … ...But you can rest assured that I will not kill you here, but you must know that I am a duke, how many ways do you think I can make you disappear secretly in the capital of Lane?" Speaking of this, Sean continued Added in the official language of Hales: "Of course, you can barely survive at the beginning, but it will happen to you when the time comes, and sometimes it is a terrible thing to live. But if you are willing to tell me, I will There is still a way to heal your injury, and it is not a problem to even improve your strength."

Ben still had a stubborn expression on his face, and Zuo Du, who obviously would not bow his head easily, showed a trace of hope for survival when he heard Xiao En's last words.

For an exile like Zordo, who is almost no different from an orphan in Hales, after Shawn cripples the mobility of his limbs, his family will definitely abandon him completely, and he will become an orphan than an orphan, A useless person needs an even more useless existence. For a marginal person like him who has worked hard to prove himself and even paid a lot of price to get to where he is today, this result is obviously more uncomfortable than killing him.

Therefore, at the beginning, he really put life and death aside, anyway, living has no meaning anymore. And being able to see Xiao En's deflated appearance, Zuo Du also thought it was a very pleasant thing, so of course he would not tell Sean the secret of "seeing through".

But I have to say that Sean is indeed worthy of the title of "magic stick".

A few simple words made Zuo Du shake.

"I...I can tell you." Zuo Du said in a deep voice, "but how do you guarantee it?"

"I don't need to promise you, and you have no right to bargain." Sean moved his right foot away from Zuo Du's throat, "You can only choose to gamble."
