Noble Emblem

,.

Originally, this tavern was very noisy, but because of the arrival of two big figures, both the mercenaries and the majority of idlers spoke much softer.

Several wine waiters hesitated. They looked at their dirty clothes and were hesitating whether to go up. But they soon breathed a sigh of relief because the nobleman who looked like a mage used a scroll to create a translucent magic shield. With the mask out, everyone present was relieved by this attitude of being a thousand miles away.

It's like two wolves breaking into the sheepfold, but the two wolves immediately locked themselves up, and the other sheep will naturally feel more at ease.

Zoe looked at the slippery table with some disgust. He finally suppressed the feeling of vomiting and pretended to be calm and said: "Sir, I don't know if it's an illusion, but you seem to... like me very much?"

In contrast, Beta seems much more comfortable: "It doesn't seem to, but it is true...a great swordsman, worthy of my investment to a certain extent."

Zoe said: "But I feel like you didn't seem to be so concerned about it before."

"Because you were not a great swordsman before." Beta said slowly: "The gold coin sacrificial ceremony will indeed make you a professional, but I am not sure which kind. At most, it will allow you to work in a job. , choose one at random. Being able to become a great swordsman shows that you are very talented and... extremely lucky."

Zoe smiled: “Just because of luck, you have increased your expectations and investment in me?”

"Luck is very important." Old God Beta smiled eloquently: "The great figures in history were able to achieve great things because they had luck. Luck, when it is strong enough to a certain extent, is called destiny. I think you are very lucky. After all, the profession of Great Swordsman is really not accessible to ordinary people."

Zoe laughed at herself: "If I were really lucky, I wouldn't be driven here."

"But if you weren't driven here, how could you become a great swordsman?" Beta looked like a magician at this moment: "Destiny is really a wonderful thing, it can work in completely unexpected ways. To help you get on the path you should be on.”

In fact, Beta didn't believe in fate. He even felt a little disgusted with this kind of thing. Especially after knowing about Emma, ​​he despised fate from the bottom of his heart.

But this doesn't mean that he won't use such mysterious and mysterious things to deceive people.

If you want to achieve great things, you must first learn to cheat.

Zoe thought for a while and felt that Beta made sense. How could he become a great swordsman if he hadn't been exiled here. He gently clenched his fists. Different from the weakness a few hours ago, he could clearly feel a strange power flowing through his body now.

There were many mercenaries around with giant swords. As soon as he saw these swords, he would feel familiar with them and even know how to use them and how to swing them.

This is a professional... Zoe felt that the whole world was different. Thinking about it before, he felt that his eldest brother was invincible, but now... he felt that he could kill his eldest brother at any time as long as he wanted.

"So, how should you invest in me." Zoe asked: "What price do I need to pay."

"This is the teaching of our Wojin Cult." Beta placed a handwritten book on the stage: "You can read it when you go back. When you decide to become a believer in Wojin, even if you are a light believer, you can come Find me. I can ask Goddess Wojin to directly upgrade your level to elite level. And I won’t charge you a single gold coin.”

Zoe was stunned for a while and asked: "With my current strength, how many gold coins do I need to upgrade to the elite level?"

"2,400 gold coins." Beta said the exact number directly: "I think your family's liquidity should not be that much."

Even Zoe's family couldn't afford 2,400 gold coins, and most of the nobles couldn't afford it, let alone Zoe, the exiled second son of a nobleman.

He gently took a breath of air-conditioning: "Is it so expensive?"

"So, why are there so few professionals? [.]" Beta shook his finger: "Besides, at least 60% of professionals will grow old before they can even reach the elite level."

"So what class are you?" Zoe asked looking at Beta.

"Master level." Beta replied.

"How far is the gap between you and me now?" Zoe asked with burning eyes.

"I can beat ten of you like this!" Beta smiled. In fact, he still said that he was only a third-level swordsman. When he chopped, he was like chopping cabbage. As long as he had enough physical strength, he could kill as many as he wanted.

Zoe was a little dissatisfied: "The gap is so obvious? What about when I reach the elite level?"

"I can barely hit two." Beta was still deceiving. In fact, he can defeat about ten elite level swordsmen without any problem.

Zoe became more and more dissatisfied: "I can't beat you even with two elites. You still say that the great swordsman is very powerful?"

Beta smiled: "What do you think the master level is? The gap of one stage, the distance of five strengths, two great swordsmen who have just entered the elite stage can beat a master level spell caster, which is already very powerful. Other professions , five may not be able to win. The great swordsman is recognized as a strong profession, but you are still not satisfied?"

Zoe didn't know much about professionals, so when he saw Beta was mocking and half-explaining, he knew that he had said something idiotic, so of course he smiled awkwardly.

Then his mood became hot, and when Beta saw this, he knew that the heat was almost over. He pointed at the mercenaries outside and smiled: "You can actually compete with them. No one here is your opponent. Of course, one-on-one is really meaningless. You can try one-on-five and see. Can you knock them down with your bare hands?"

Zoe said a little unconfidently: “It’s not that exaggerated.”

The mercenaries in the tavern were all muscular men, and they all looked fierce. Zoe felt that it was difficult to deal with even one of them, let alone five of them.

"If you can't win, it means you don't have the ability. In other words, you don't have the talent to fight. Some people are indeed like this. They obviously have abilities, but at critical moments they are unable to display them due to cowardice, timidity, etc. This kind of thing It is not easy for people to succeed no matter what they do." Beta said matter-of-factly: "So, if you lose, I will not invest in you again."

Zoe looked at Beta for a while, then smiled and said: "This is the test for me... Let me just say, it would be too strange for you to be optimistic about me and invest in me just because I became a great swordsman. It’s impossible for any noble to do such an uncertain business. Okay, since you think I can deal with five, then I’ll give it a try.”

Beta removed the sound barrier and made a 'please' gesture.

In fact, Beta has considerable confidence in Zoe. First of all, all the mercenaries present are lv1, the highest is lv2, and there are only three of them. This also shows that these people have not experienced many real battles at all. In a bare-handed battle, even five people cannot completely suppress a lv3 great swordsman.

As long as Zoe can fight steadily, there will be no problem even if she can deal with ten professionals who are lower than her, not to mention five professionals... The bug profession of Great Swordsman is so domineering.

Zoe walked to the counter and slapped the greasy black counter surface hard. After everyone's eyes were focused, he put down two gold coins and said arrogantly: "I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say, All of you here are trash."

Looking at the high-spirited Zoe, the mercenaries all had angry expressions on their faces, but they dared not speak out. After all, they were facing a noble, and there was also a noble who looked like a spellcaster next to them. They couldn't offend them. rise.

"I know you are dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter. Let's compete. You can send out five people at random and fight each other with bare hands. As long as you beat me, these two gold coins will be yours."

Zoe patted the counter again, and this time, the gold coin's bright yellow light immediately attracted everyone's attention.

One gold coin is already a lot of money for these mercenaries. Even if it is divided equally among five people, each person can get forty silver coins. This is the reward for several low-level tasks, and there is no danger. . With bare hands, the most you can get is to be beaten into a pig's head, so there is no danger.

"I'll do it!" Soon the first strong man stood up.

Several people stood up one after another, but they threatened each other with their eyes, and then only five people who seemed to be the strongest were left standing on the scene.

Then others moved the tables and chairs away, leaving a large open space in the middle.

Zoe laughed and walked in, and the other five people walked to the opposite side.

What happened next was just as Beta expected. Zoe did seem a little embarrassed at first, but after more than ten seconds, amidst the crazy roars of everyone in the tavern, he began to beat the opponent to pieces, and It's completely head-on. As for him, nothing happened. At most, he only had a slight bruise on his eye socket.

The Great Swordsman comes with the 'Tough Body' specialty as soon as he takes office. He has good resistance to physical and elemental damage. It is difficult to cause damage to him with weapons, let alone with bare hands.

Zoe looked at the five mercenaries who fell in front of her and laughed: "Although you lost, who makes me happy now? These two gold coins are also yours. In addition, I will pay for the drinking money of everyone present." ”
