Lord of War

As Sean expected, his match was the first one, and he was very honored to be the first winner on the Ryan Kingdom side, and also the first contestant to successfully advance to the second round.

Of the thirty-three martial arts festival competitions, the first thirteen were scheduled to start in the morning.

Among the twenty-six contestants, ten are seed contestants, among which Sean is the first contestant to confirm the promotion, and the whole game only took 30 seconds, which is a whole ahead of the second contestant who confirmed the successful promotion One minute. When Sean's record was announced, no matter how much the seed players from other countries despised the Ryan Kingdom, they still had to remember the name Sean Connery in their minds, and the accompanying spies from other countries, At this time, it has already started to be busy.

Just as the Marquis of Flores was unable to provide Sean with accurate information on the silver group contestants from other countries, the spies from these countries also failed to collect accurate information on other contestants. In fact, everyone including Faxis Kingdom didn't really pay attention to the competition of the silver group from the very beginning, they all put their energy into the competition of the gold group until Xiao En turned out.

Especially the side of the Kingdom of Hales.

They were very clear about Zordo's strength, otherwise he would not have become one of the three representatives of the Kingdom of Hales to participate in the Silver Fighting Festival.

This time, among the 17 seeded players, there are only three from the Ryan Kingdom, and the remaining 14 places are divided among the other four countries. Among them, the fǎsis Kingdom occupies the most places, with five people: followed by four from the Principality of Robin, and then three from the Kingdom of Hales: and they are stronger than Robin in terms of comprehensive national strength and other aspects. The Principality's stronger Kalosa Tribal United has only two places.

From this point, it can be seen that even the fascist kingdom, which was almost conquered by the Chinas empire, is still far superior to the neighboring countries in the southern continent in terms of national potential and heritage.

However, after the first match ended, the people of Hales Kingdom did not find any trace of Zuo Du.

As if the world had evaporated, even though the Ryan Kingdom sent people to assist in the search after hearing of the accident, there was still no trace of Zuo Du. But in fact, at the end of the battle, everyone knew the result of the battle: Zuo Du's limbs were all crippled by Xiao En. There is no possibility of recovery.

And as a descendant of a marginal noble with not very pure and bright hair color, it is obviously impossible for Zuo Du's family to spend too much money to save him, and the greater possibility is to completely abandon him. But at this moment, black The attitude of the Kingdom of Hales is completely different from their usual habits. There is an attitude of never giving up until Zuo Du is found out. Normal people know what their purpose is.

Seeing the scenes on both sides of the street receding continuously, but the gate of King Ryan's capital was close at hand, a soft sigh suddenly came from inside the carriage.

"I never mean what I say. Since you have told me the secret, I will cure your problem." Sean's voice sounded in the carriage.

"I just don't understand." The person who replied was the Mr. Zordo who the Kingdom of Hales was looking for at this time, "Even if I tell you the so-called discovery in your mouth, you can't do it like me If you can quickly capture all moving trajectories,

You still have no way to master it. "

"That's not necessarily the case." Sean smiled slightly, but it was obvious that he no longer planned to continue this topic.

As for Zuo Du, after realizing that Xiao En did not intend to continue this topic, he also chose to remain silent. Of course, this situation also has a great relationship with his mentality at this time, because the choice he made at this time is obviously betraying the Kingdom of Hales, and as a native who has accepted Hales since childhood For the elite-educated people in the kingdom, this mentality is of course accompanied by a very strong struggle.

Soon, the carriage left the city gate and drove to the suburbs.

It was already afternoon, and it had been two or three hours since we left the Lion Arena.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window gradually turning green, and the traces of people getting less and less bó, Zuo Du knew that they had begun to move away from the scope of the royal capital.

After going forward for about ten minutes, the carriage finally stopped.

"You wait here."

Sean reached out to open the door of the carriage, and jumped to the ground in one step.

As for Zordo, struggling to get close to the car window, he turned his gaze to the flat ground outside the window, and then he saw a scene that made his heart beat faster.

About thirty riders wearing adventurer's cloaks were in the open space not far from him, and there was a somewhat worn-out carriage beside him. But if you look carefully, you can still see that this carriage is not a dilapidated carriage, but has been deliberately modified to become like this. In fact, this carriage should be a new one that has just been built from the factory. Brand new carriage.

But what really made Zuo Du's heart beat faster was not the carriage, but the dozens of riders scattered around the carriage.

The aura emanating from these riders is unusually cold and powerful, and almost everyone has an aura that is not inferior to his own, which is enough to prove that each of these riders has at least the strength of a high-ranking silver. And the most commendable thing is that the aura emanating from these riders can be perfectly harmonized together, forming an even larger and terrifying aura, even the next gold powerhouse may have a chance to compete.

Knights.

A special term suddenly broke into Zuo Du's mind.

Seeing the appearance of Sean and the others, one of the riders got off his horse and walked straight towards Sean, until he knelt down on one knee in front of Sean: "My lord, the Scarlet Knights are ready to set off at any time. "

"Then I will leave this person to you." Sean said in a deep voice, "Bring him back to the Void City and ask Heately to treat him."

"Yes." Dwight, the leader of the Scarlet Knights, replied in a deep voice, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of knights quickly surrounded them, protecting the carriage in the middle, and two of them got off their horses, and then moved the carriage The horse on board was replaced, and then he sat on the driver's seat.

The whole process was completed in silence, and the speed was extremely fast, without the slightest sloppiness, and Zuo Du was shocked again.

After confirming that all the work was completed, Dwight bid farewell to Rena and Sean, and then led the team to quickly head towards the direction of Fortress Tonis. Almost after walking about a hundred meters, another team of about a dozen cavalry joined Dwight, and the momentum of the whole team became a little bit stronger. According to Dwight's previous arrangement, before arriving at Fortress Tonis, the teams of the Scarlet Knights who will be sent out along the way to investigate will continue to come to meet up and bring various information to ensure that the road is safe. Anhui.

After watching the team leave, Sean returned to the carriage brought by Dwight and the others. At this time, he had already pretended a little bit and Rina had re-harnessed the horses, and then sat in the driver's seat. In the position, he drove the carriage back to the capital of Ryan.

Compared with the situation when he came out, the speed when he returned to the capital was obviously much faster, but Sean, who was sitting in the carriage under Rui Na's control, didn't feel any bumps.

This made it very convenient for Sean to think in the carriage.

Seeing through this passive skill known as a divine skill, Sean has already acquired it from Zordo, but after obtaining it, Sean was somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of this skill. Because the activation of this skill only requires six proficiency points, which means that this passive skill is only a regular fifth-level skill or a special fourth-level skill in the system's judgment, and it is different from the so-called "magic skill". "This statement is really a little different, and it doesn't fit the so-called "proficiency point consumes a lot of money" in Xiao En's impression.

After getting used to big players like Requiem, Soul Rescue, Dance of the Broken Wind, and Death of Snow Wind that consume dozens of proficiency points at every turn, Sean's impression of this legendary skill has always been that it consumes dozens of points. , but the current situation made Sean feel puzzled. After all, he now has strict requirements on the allocation of proficiency points that are almost harsh. If this branch can really be the one he knows, then it is very necessary to consume six proficiency points to activate, but if it is not what he wants Knowing that magical skill, it would naturally become a very wasteful thing to consume proficiency points to activate it.

This is why Sean is caught in a dilemma of contemplation.

I don't know how long it took, the greenery outside the car window gradually disappeared, but the number of people began to increase. At this time, many people were going back to the city, so Ruina drove a carriage and mixed in with the people entering the city. middle. Judging from past experience, judging from the current team situation, it may take more than forty to fifty minutes to enter the city, and it will be almost in time for dinner when we return to the Duke's mansion.

At that time, no one will know that Sean secretly left the capital on the way.

"Boom boom."

Outside the carriage, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Sean and Rina were both startled, because neither of them felt the presence of someone approaching. And being able to avoid the perception of Reina and Sean is enough to prove that this person's strength is definitely not weak, at least if the other party wants to play tricks, I'm afraid they have already succeeded.

"It's me." The person who knocked on the carriage door said, as if guessing what Sean and Rena were thinking at this time, "Floris."

Sean was stunned for a moment, but he still opened the door. Floris was not polite, and boarded the carriage in a flash.

After entering the carriage, Sean could see clearly that Floris looked very sloppy and messy at the moment, and he was also full of alcohol, like a vagabond who would get drunk and die on the side of the road at any time, no different from him in the past That kind of shrewd and capable calm temperament is completely different. It's just that when Sean saw Floris' eyes, he knew that the middle-aged man's attire was just a disguise.

"What? Do you really think I'm drunk?" Floris chuckled, then poured some wine on his hand, patted himself a few times, and took another sip of the wine, "Look, isn't this Is your body full of alcohol, your mouth full of alcohol?... You are really hard to find, I knew that you must have taken that Hales boy away. In this capital, there is no one other than you Others have the means."

"Then how did you find me?" Sean was still a little puzzled.

"This is even simpler." Floris curled her lips, "When I received the news that the boy was missing, I immediately rushed to the city gate to wait, and then I memorized the number of every carriage leaving the city. feature."

"Every carriage?" Sean was a little taken aback.

"Every one." Floris nodded with a smile, "Although your carriage has been replaced, neither the horse nor the driver has been replaced, so I guessed it was you....Of course, it doesn't matter if you guess wrong, Who would have trouble with a drunk? In fact, it's really sure to be yours, or because you changed your breath the moment I knocked on the car door." ...Well, I've only seen that smell on you. "

"Your nose is really as sensitive as the rumors say." Xiao En sighed helplessly, "What if I enter through another city gate?"

"Then you will find that the king is much stricter than you imagined." Marquis Floris said with a smug smile, "No matter which door you enter through, you will eventually pass through the recording point I arranged in advance. There I have already I have hired some painters to work there, so no matter what, I will be able to find you, Lord Void Duke."

"Okay." Sean held up his hands helplessly in a gesture of surrender, "Then what is His Majesty's attitude now?"

"His Majesty the King welcomes any behavior that can make any potential enemy country unhappy." Marquis Flores showed a knowing look in his eyes, "But this time I came to you, and I still have something to tell you. of."

Hearing the Marquis of Floris addressing himself as "you." Sean's expression also became serious.

Marquis Flores took out a document from under his shabby coat, and handed it to Sean. The latter took it with a serious face, and then opened it to check. It simply recorded a person's walking path in the capital, and other than that, there were some simple personal data records. The guy that the Marquis of Floris was eyeing was obviously not from Ryan, so his past and related background biographical materials were all blank.

After simply flipping through the information, Sean raised his head and looked at Floris with some doubts.

"Can't you see?" Floris asked with a smile.

Sean lowered his head and looked carefully again, this time he quickly discovered something unusual.

In this person’s walking path, more than eight points are located in various hotels, taverns and other places in the capital of Ryan. Even other places are basically places where information can be exchanged or obtained. .

"This is?" Sean raised his head, "Spy?"

"I don't think so." Marquis Floris shook his head, "My intuition tells me that the other party is coming for you."

"Aiming at me?" Sean was even more puzzled, "Could it be someone from Darbion?"

"No." The Marquis of Floris shook his head, "Although Ryan's management is relatively loose because of the martial arts festival, and there are many strong people coming in and out, but Dabion's old dǎng has basically been registered on the list , even if they are lucky enough to be able to infiltrate Tonis Fortress and enter the hinterland of Ryan, it will not be an easy task to reach the king's capital..." And after learning about this person, I also sent the shadow to investigate, and then I found that the other party It's from the north. "

"North?" Sean was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "Where is the trading capital?"

Marquis Flores nodded.

Xiao En looked down at the other party's profile again, and found that in the strength evaluation item, he filled in the high-ranking gold peak, but there was a scarlet extremely dangerous and teary eye marked next to it. So Sean asked again: "Extremely dangerous high-ranking Gold Peak? Is this person that strong?"

"The shadow's report is usually not wrong. Since he is marked as extremely dangerous, it proves that this person is very dangerous." Marquis Floris said in a deep voice, as if to prevent Xiao En from distrusting him, he added again, " I have already personally probed the situation. The aura emanating from his body is not strong, but it does give me a feeling of scalp numbness. Even if I personally shoot secretly, the success rate will not exceed 50%. "

Hearing what the Marquis of Floris said, Sean finally had to face up to this middle-aged man whose portrait had already been painted.

This is a middle-aged man with a very handsome appearance. The traces of time do not seem to have left too many traces on him, or have not damaged his appearance. On the contrary, it has added an extraordinary mature charm to him From the black and white sketches, Sean can also feel the mature vicissitudes of life emanating from him, as well as the bohemian temperament that seems to be born with him, just like a bottle of old wine Fragrant and charming.

Obviously, this painter is not an ordinary painter, and he is definitely attracted by the temperament of the other party, otherwise it would be impossible to draw such a vivid portrait.

It can be said that such a handsome man exists. If Xiao En has seen it, he will never forget it. But in fact, even if he searched all the corners of his mind, he didn't have any impressions—whether in this world or in the original game world, he didn't have any impressions about this person at all.

And such an extremely dangerous person who even the Marquis Floris, the king of darkness, said that he was at most 50% sure of the shadow, came for him, how could Sean ignore him? You must know that just from the hand that the Marquis of Floris showed when he approached the carriage just now, Sean knew that if the Marquis of Floris wanted to kill himself, it would be an easy task, even with Reina protecting him. Prevent.

At this moment, Sean finally knew what the "extremely dangerous" meant.

Seeing the solemn expression on Xiao En's face, Marquis Floris said again: "It seems that you really don't know this person."

"I really don't know him." Sean shook his head, "Wanshe doesn't have any impression."

"Then during the recent non-competition period, you'd better not run around in the mansion." The Marquis of Floris suggested, "After all, in the Duke's mansion, you still occupy the advantage of the terrain, and I believe that your followers also It's not a decoration... At least, if you want to play tricks in the opponent's situation, it's impossible to do it."

"Why?" Sean asked curiously.

"The aura on his body is like the light shining from a lighthouse in the dark, and it is impossible for anyone with a keen sense to ignore it." Floris said, "People like him are obviously not suitable for playing dark shā And no matter how you look at it, he is obviously not a low-key..., or a low-key person, so if he really goes to your mansion to trouble you, then it must be a head-to-head method, and it will definitely be a shock at that time Those real powerhouses in the capital."

"So you mean, even if he came to trouble me, it would be after the martial arts festival?" Sean asked back.

"This possibility is very high." The Marquis of Floris nodded, "Of course, if the other party doesn't know your existence, then he will definitely not trouble you. Just judging from the situation of the Fighting Festival, I think It is impossible not to know your case, unless . . . ”

"Unless I give up the martial arts festival, right?"

Marquis Flores nodded.

"What does His Majesty mean?" Sean was silent for a moment, then asked.

"Let you make up your own mind." Floris replied, "Compared to winning the championship in the silver group to show strength, His Majesty the King thinks that a living Duke of the Void is more valuable. Moreover, it is more suitable as a hole card."

"I see." Sean nodded, but did not answer the question of whether to continue participating in the martial arts festival.

In fact, Sean agreed to participate in this martial arts festival, largely for Ryan's stability. After all, his current situation is still with the chariot of the Kingdom of Ryan, so the two sides are actually in a situation where both are prosperous and both are prosperous.

Another reason is that Sean is still waiting for the Union of Chambers of Commerce to deliver what he needs. Although food and slaves will be shipped directly to the Void Territory, things like elemental gems will still be in the Void Territory. The transaction was completed here in the capital.

But no matter whether he continues to compete or not, Reina and the others still have to participate in the gold group's martial arts competition, so in the end he will still have to stay in the capital for a while.

"Actually, I'm quite curious, why do you think this person is after me?" Sean asked suddenly.

"It's still because of the breath."

"Breath?" Sean was a little dazed.

"I've noticed this man because of his business at Yorktown."

Sean knew about the Yorktown incident because it was recorded in this intelligence document.

The middle-aged man clashed with a group of mercenaries in a tavern in Yorktown, and a fight broke out between the two sides.

For Ryan, who was still in the state of the principality at that time, the mercenary group was not weak, at least there were two high-ranking gold powerhouses and several high-ranking silver peak masters in the team, such a mercenary group was already It's a very strong team.

But this team was wiped out by this middle-aged man in less than a minute.

Originally, the Principality of Ryan would not care about such a matter. But the biggest leak is that because both sides are fighting at the level of strong men, half of the townspeople of Yorktown were involved in the battle, so the battle resulted in the killing of more than two hundred civilians. This middle-aged man was naturally targeted by the Principality of Ryan. It's just that before the Principality of Ryan made a decision on how to deal with this person, the news of the victory over Dabiang came, so it entered the preparations for the Principality's promotion to the Kingdom, and the next thing Naturally, it was based on the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less. In addition, this person also compensated for the damage caused by Yorktown afterwards, so the Principality of Lane changed its mind of using force against this person.

Unexpectedly, this person went all the way south from Yorktown until he recently entered the capital of Ryan.

However, after entering the King's Capital of Ryan, the other party has always kept himself safe and did not do anything out of the ordinary. However, the Marquis of Floris still felt that this person was a little strange, so he sent people to follow up and investigate this, so naturally he had the information in Sean's hands.

"He has an aura very similar to yours."

These were the last words Marquis Flores said to Sean. (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
