Chapter 29 Competition (2)

Dressed in the man's robe he wanted from Vilfredo, Doyle followed behind Link, looking like a stranger's attitude, but her increasingly feminine appearance greatly reduced her evil spirit. This time, what stopped the mage's clothing was no longer the mage's clothing, but a pair of sharp horns growing on her head, even if it was only the length of her finger, was enough to show that her non-human bloodline.

It is very easy to distinguish the level of monsters. The larger the size, the stronger the size, and the higher the level of humans, the higher the appearance. People who are hiding in the Great Screw will not not know this. They only dare to look with their eyes and no longer use words to make fun of them like Nax City, or even physical contact.

People's restraint still cannot calm Doyle's anxious mood.

Link decided to come to the scene in person to help Wilfredo and Campano regain their life contract.

This book is nothing, but Doyle just feels unhappy and doesn't know why he feels such an inexplicable mood.

Because she did not have a normal childhood, Doyle didn't know that this was actually a process that everyone would go through in childhood - fearing that there were more important things to take away parents' attention from themselves. Her displeasure was because of fear of the uneasiness that caused by her no longer being special.

Link, who was walking in front, obviously wouldn't have thought so much. He was "looking at" this town with a broader perception than his vision.

As Wengers said, time divides the town into two. Only when the morning and evening alternate, "White Town" and "Black Town" will briefly overlap, or show a complete appearance. The low wooden houses are located on the periphery, and the empty area is filled with towering stone towers, and it no longer looks abrupt and weird, no different from other human towns. However, the hawking goods are placed on the stalls on both sides of the street, which are no longer limited to daily necessities. More of the strange objects, magic props, weapons and armor, alchemy potions, etc.

A bad temper does not mean that Doyle is patient. She endured it all the way. Seeing Link getting closer and closer to the arena, Doyle finally couldn't help it.

【What are the value of those three guys?】

Link was stunned for a few seconds before he understood what Doyle meant.

[You can't figure out why I have to spend my energy and time participating in the competition?]

[Yes! If the purpose is just a title. I'll go, you don't need to participate.] The possession of the God of War has deviled Doyle's body, and its power and elements have increased several times. It can be said that it has returned to the original level of the Dawn Knight. Although I dare not boast that I will definitely win the final victory, but Link will not be able to come out of his own.

[I decided to participate not just to help them.] I didn't plan to come forward, but Lorelai suggested that Link exercise his fighting skills that do not rely on divine power, so as not to repeat Doyle's mistakes. I knew that the power of the pillar was nothing, so Link could not refuse.

As early as the way to Krenberg, he had already felt his shortcomings, and the appearance of Neham further aggravated this feeling. The magical and elemental resistance can allow him to resolve most of the attacks. Without a tough skin, he cannot rely on his body to resist pure physical attacks. This requires learning corresponding combat skills as a counterattack.

What's worse is that due to some past habits, Link is not very interested in close combat and prefers ranged attacks. This makes it more difficult for him to fight against close combat characters. Lorelai, who has already realized this, has long advised Link not to create artificial flaws for himself, and if it is not corrected in the early stages, once he develops a bad habit that cannot be changed, it will become a fatal hidden danger.

There was no time before. Now there was a chance to be ready, and Lorelai said that he would not let Link be lazy.

[After the power of the pillar of fire is lifted, you should be busy awakening the pillar of earth. As the power increases, you will have the heart to do these foundations.]

It was reasonable, but Link couldn't refute it. So he agreed.

He has always been able to defeat enemies by transforming, elements and magical skills, and nothing is done by himself. He must be prepared just in case if he cannot use his divine power.

The spirit sharing was broken, Doyle and Lorelai could no longer communicate directly. She didn't know that Link decided to personally end up with Lorelai's help. She was still complaining about the three new joiners in her heart.

Wilfredo, who was walking in the front, stopped and the arena arrived.

"It's that guy." Doyle suddenly said.

Link looked along her sight and was the merchant Helini, who stood on the other side of the street and took off his hat to pay tribute to himself.

"I wanted to beat him as soon as I saw him." The impulse belonging to Vera was conveyed to Doyle, who was in the face.

"Meet again." Helini's men separated the crowd and walked to the street where Link and his group were. Their eyes swept over the new pair of horns on Doyle's head. The merchant asked in a confident tone, "You guys participated in the sacrifice yesterday."

Even if you change a set of clothes, you cannot cover up the strong smell of blood. How much should you kill so that even your skin will emit bloody energy?

[I want to break his neck.] Doyle angrily vented his dissatisfaction with Link.

[This guy may be useful to us, don't touch him for the time being.] Link had a premonition that the man who brought them to the big trap might be related to the manager of the arena, Karenda, who holds all the Gladiator's life contracts.

Seeing that Link was not allowed, Doyle turned his head angrily and refused to look at the businessman who was sticking his eyes to her. She was more thorough than Vera in executing orders and reassuring Link.

Link nodded and answered, refusing to reveal what he had experienced yesterday.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Helini's eyes, "It's so terrible. I've been doing business here for decades, and this is the first time I saw such a bloody sacrifice. Not only was the ground stained with blood, but the outer wall of the arena collapsed by most of the time. The intensity of the battle last night can be imagined."

"Yes, it's very dangerous." Link just refused to reveal a few words.

Seeing that Link was unmoved, Helini had to change his target and show his attentiveness to Velfredo who had been missed from the beginning, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Velfredo? I have a bad look and I didn't see you." After that, he bowed exaggeratedly.

Velfredo curled his lips and said a hush to be considered a reply.

Helini keenly captured Vilfredo's quick glance at Link's small movement. Regardless of height and fame, the Knights were taller than Clin who had just arrived in the arena. Vilfredo, who had the title of competitive championship, looked at a newcomer who had just arrived less than a day with a close look...

"Since I can survive last night's sacrifice, I'm sure I won't be interested in ordinary battles." Helini lowered his voice, "Do you want to participate in the Lidou Arena of the Strong Confrontation?"

Lin? It means that what is now is a watch? Link turned his head and looked at Velfredo, "Champion?"

"yes."

Velfredo's attitude further confirmed Helini's speculation. The Gun Knight, who has always been alone, not only formed a team with this mysterious man last night, but also gave up command. The master sent by Xindu? Unlike, put aside the identity of the Gun Knight's traitor, the man's words and deeds are full of scattering. It is impossible for him to be a noble or a mercenary? He has never seen such a person in the Great Screw and Befest for many years?

"Is the duel between experts? This is a bit interesting. I am not interested in fighting ordinary people." Link deliberately created the illusion of arrogance. Anyway, he has been acting like this along the way, and suddenly becoming humble and polite will make people suspicious.

Velfredo stared at the ground without making a sound.

Helini clapped his high-high and used an exaggerated tone to indicate that he had a way out, allowing Link to skip the rules of winning at least once before he could participate in high-standard competition.

"If you are interested, come back tonight, and the Arena of Lidou will only open at night." After saying that, he brought a group of mercenaries who made the sets back to the opposite street and soon disappeared in the crowd.

"What is this person?" After feeling the businessman's breath disappearing from the high walls of the arena, Link asked Vilfredo about Helini's origin.

"On the surface, he is a black market businessman, but only Karenda knows his true identity." Velfredo shook his head. Helini was already here when he first arrived at the arena. Moreover, from the dwarfs, he learned that Helini was one of the few people who were qualified to meet Karenda.

"Do you need me to follow?" Asa, who has been hiding in the shadow, appears. The shadow thief has the first-class tracking skills. With the breath and smell that ordinary people cannot detect, he can still track the whereabouts of the merchant who has gone far away.

"No, you can't deal with those around him." Link vetoed, but the human appearance emitted an inhuman smell.

"Monster?" The question was not Asa, but Vilfredo. He only felt that the mercenaries were of great strength and did not see anything strange.

Link said no again, "It's not a monster, it's dead energy, very light, almost like a living dead."

That's how he prevented Doyle from touching Helini, so as not to alarm the enemy.

It’s not that he doubted the judgment of the undead by the Son of Nature. Wilfredo was just wondering why he couldn’t feel the ‘death aura’ in Link’s mouth.

"You have just changed your job and need to start over. I will personally guide you after you solve the problem here. There are so many people here that it is not suitable for discussion." Originally, Link went out to play a few games and strive to get a championship, so that he could enter the Lidou Arena, which can only be entered at night. Since Helini said there was a way, he also saved himself from showing up. Anyway, fighting with ordinary people would not help improve his skills.

"Then...we'll go back?" Velfredo was eager to know the fighting method of the Temple of Nature, but his small place was not suitable for masters of the level of Link. Any spell could blow up the entire building.

"Go outside and find a cleaner place." If the practice object is replaced by Vilfredo, Link would still be interested in giving it a try. (To be continued...)
