Chapter 696 The Prince of Refuge(1/2)
The wooden clock usually has a calm and restrained aura, and it also has a "tranquil", "cool" and "young" temperament.
When strangers see him like this, it is difficult to associate him with things related to "high combat prowess". They will generally think that he is a "noble and beautiful young man with a particularly good temperament", which will lead to various wrong judgments.
'Luy' is such a person who has made wrong judgments. Although he has heard others say how powerful 'Tom' is, he has never seen it with his own eyes. In addition, he 'subjectively' feels that others' words are too exaggerated and contain too much.
A lot of subjective components and not accurate.
Therefore, he has always doubted 'Tom's' true strength and... gender.
…
Lu Yi saw Kurian opening the back door for 'Tom', and his dissatisfaction quickly overflowed. His mind became hot, and he walked over angrily, and pressed down the process sheet that Kurian was filling out.
He said sullenly: "Kurian, in the military camp, you must follow the rules of the military camp. Everyone is watching. Are you embarrassed to open the back door without permission?"
Kurian didn't understand the little thoughts in this guy's mind, so he smiled and said: "Lu Yi, do you want to have a fight with Tom?"
Lu Yi turned to look at 'Tom', his eyes filled with fighting spirit, "If you can pass my test, you must be a qualified adventurer."
"Haha~" Mu Zhong laughed out loud and said: "I said before that you are narrow-minded, why haven't you changed at all? In this case, let's have a fight."
Lui: "That would be great."
…
After the current test competition in the 'Warrior' test area ended, the next tester was the wooden clock, and the person in charge of the test was replaced by Lu Yi.
Both sides were holding the same wooden sword, standing twelve meters apart in the middle of the field.
As a bystander, Kurian acted very calmly. He picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Seeing this, a good-looking young officer immediately came over in a cowardly manner, "Kurian, what's the relationship between those two? They don't seem to be in a good relationship. I wonder if I have a chance?"
Kurian glanced at this man strangely: "What are you talking about? Didn't you see that these two are men?"
"Ah...ah???Male...Male? So cute? How is that possible?"
"Believe it or not."
"Hey... okay, men will be men. Speaking of which, don't you three know each other? Why did they start fighting?"
"Lu Yi doesn't believe that the other party is very powerful."
"Hiss... there is another 'strong', haha~ Are you lying to me? Look at that girl's tender skin and tender flesh. If she is strong? Then I can even say that I am an eighteenth-level super warrior.
"
"Stop being narcissistic, they started."
…
After the battle on the field officially started, the momentum of the wooden clock suddenly changed, as if it had changed from a harmless little white rabbit to a ferocious tiger that was killing one by one. The contrast was so great that it was staggering.
.
Outside the field, the young officer shrank his neck and showed a frightened expression: "Kurian, what happened to your little cute friend? This, this, this... this murderous intention is worse than the iron-blooded ones who have been together on the battlefield for more than ten years.
The veteran is also scary, he seems to be specialized in this field."
Kurian replied: "I have always been puzzled... Another thing is that he said he is in his thirties this year."
"Ha~? There must be something wrong, right? You can still be so young in your thirties, except..." - The next words involved taboos, so it stopped abruptly.
There are no traces of age on the appearance of the elderly. In the past, there were races of gods, demons and demon agents, and individual magicians. After the invasion of other worlds, there may even be an 'otherworlder'.
These things are not accessible to ordinary people, so this little officer would talk and then suddenly stop talking.
…
Back to the testing ground.
The wooden clock is holding a wooden sword, with a dangerous momentum, moving forward step by step.
Lu Yi used several enhanced skills in succession, then used 'Multiple Slashes' to charge forward.
Continuous 'Multiple Slashes', each one is faster and stronger than ordinary slashes, and can also produce a dazzling sword light that expands the attack range.
This is a common start when Lu Yi fights with others. In the past, every time he used "Multiple Slashes", he would be in close contact with the target, but this time...his skills were all over, and his blade was not even connected to the opponent's.
Not even the corners of clothes were touched.
"?!"
He was surprised when the other party started to fight back.
The weapons of the two sides connected, and with the first 'bang', Lu Yi felt a force much greater than his own. Then, the opponent's swords attacked densely and violently like a violent storm.
At this time, Lu Yi understood the strength of the opponent and his own narrow-mindedness. The person who could use such swordsmanship must be a swordsman who has been immersed in swordsmanship for decades.
Ping ping ping pong!
Mu Zhong used his heavy sword to bully others, leaving Lu Yi with many flaws. After dozens of blows, he turned his wrist and hit the opponent's back of the hand with the side of the tip of the wooden sword in his hand.
Lu Yi's right hand suddenly went numb, and his strength in holding the sword was greatly reduced, and then the wooden sword was easily knocked out of his hand.
One of the parties loses his wooden sword, and the outcome is clear for both sides.
…
Lu Yi held his right hand with his left hand and stared blankly at the wooden sword that fell to the ground: Lost like this? Lost so easily...lost?
He still has many powerful skills that he has not used yet, and he has no chance to use them.
Facing the opponent's fierce sword attack, he had no time to use his skills.
This competition was his complete defeat...
——Thinking of this, Lu Yi gritted his teeth, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, suppressed the shame in his heart, and bowed to 'Tom': "You are really powerful, I apologize to you for my narrow-mindedness.
,sorry."
Those who dare to sincerely admit their mistakes will surely reach higher heights.
"I accept your apology."
After Mu Zhong said this, he turned around and returned to Kurian's side.
Kurian secretly gave a thumbs up: "Captain Tom is not only good with the short sword, but also very powerful with the long sword."
Mu Zhong: "Stop flattering me and finish your work first."
"oh oh--"
…
Kurian was in charge of testing the 'Shield Warriors'. There were not many people using shields. When he was busy until noon, he didn't see any 'Shield Warriors' who needed to be tested, so he left the rest of the work to others and himself.
Then he left the military camp with 'Tom'.
By the moat.
The two found a quiet place and talked about things.
Mu Zhong asked curiously: "Kurian, when did you help the army?"
Kurian smiled awkwardly: "I have relatives who are commanders of the 'Elged' army."
"What about your wife? Why didn't you see her?"
"Mia is now in the 'Salmon Temple'." - The 'Salmon Temple' is the main temple of the Summoner.
"Why is she there?"
"Her sister-in-law is the envoy there."
"...I suddenly realized that your network of connections is so deep."
…
"Ahaha..." Kurian laughed twice, then abruptly changed the subject: "By the way, Tom, what do you want to say?"
Wooden Bell: "The 'devil agent' we met before appeared in 'Elged', and he wanted to hire me to work for him."
"Working?"
"It's just to prevent the weapons made by the dark magician named 'Kusri' from falling into the hands of 'Elgard', no matter what method is used."
"Well... we had expected that other dark forces would get involved."
"After all, it's a big event. It's normal to have anticipated it, but it's just like this that I feel a little strange."
"What's weird?"
"I don't know, it's just a feeling, a feeling. That's why I came here to get the inside information about the 'Operation Crusade'."
"..."
Next, the two talked for a while.
Kurian thought for a while and decided to reveal some information to 'Tom', "This 'crusade' is apparently to defeat the dark magician, but in fact it is to seize the 'magic weapons'. The Lord of 'Elgard'
The government and the 'Salmon Temple' have completed private negotiations, and the 'magic weapons' snatched will be used jointly by both parties."
"What's the reaction from the empire?"
To be continued...
