Chapter 823 The battle between the fierce and the brave!
"Due to Ace Wallenstein's abstention, Wood Grando won the match between Group A and Group B of the semi-finals and advanced to the finals!"
Aisi surrendered, so naturally Ganesha, as the referee, could only declare Wood the winner.
Although Aisi's surrender was largely due to Wood's bribery, as I said before, there are no rules in this martial arts tournament. As long as you can win, you can do whatever it takes.
Therefore, bribing opponents or the like is naturally not considered an illegal operation. As long as the bankroll ability is strong enough and you can buy the championship, although the gods will feel disappointed, they will not say anything more. After all, this is the rule they made themselves.
.
Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sword Princess is almost at the end of her strength.
The Great Sage would win in this way just to save some face for Loki's family.
Hestia and Loki bickered on a daily basis, but this did not stop them from being members of the family. They were so close that they both wore the same pair of pants.
As soon as Aisi and Wood stepped off the ring, Wood used healing magic to heal all of their opponents' injuries.
As for Ais, who had fully recovered, after taking a surprised look at her physical condition, she immediately stretched out her hands to hold Wood's arm.
Don’t get me wrong, the reason why Sanwu girl acted like this is not because she has any interest in Wood, but simply tilted her head, looked at Wood seriously and said: “When will we start the practice of ‘Six Styles’?
"
Because of her physical injuries before, Aisi thought she would go home and lie down for a few days, but now that all her injuries have recovered, she naturally can't waste any time getting stronger.
Wood: (￣?￣), I would have known better not to bother myself just now. It’s all because of this gentlemanly demeanor that has nowhere to go...
"No matter what, you have to wait until I finish the game, and the next game is the duel between your team leader and Otta. Don't you care at all?"
Wood talked hard and finally stabilized Aisi, who wanted to become stronger quickly, and several of Aisi's daily accessories came over.
Among them, Tiona, who has an enthusiastic and open personality, directly went to Wood without any scruples and said: "Brother Wood, you can't be biased and only teach Aisi-chan. You have fought with us before, why?
I’ve never seen you give us such benefits.
No matter, no matter, we also want to learn the physical skills called ‘Six Styles’.”
What can Wood do about Tiona who is stalking her? In the end, he has no choice but to agree.
Anyway, as I said before, herding a sheep is also herding, and herding a group of sheep is also herding.
Besides, teaching Diona and the others would also be beneficial to Wood.
Wood will leave this world sooner or later, and if Freya finds out that Wood has disappeared long ago after the three-year period agreed with Freya, what should she do if she vents her anger on the other members of Hestia's family?
Even if Wood could kill Otta secretly, with Freya's methods, Hestia and the others would not be able to defeat Freya at all.
Therefore, Wood believed that it was necessary to sell favors appropriately to Loki's family. This was also the guarantee he left behind for Hestia and the "Mistress of Plenty" after he left this world.
Facts have also proved that Wood's efforts during this period were indeed effective.
Didn't you see that during the preliminaries, Loki's family took the initiative to help Bell and the others?
The more favors Loki's family owes him, the harder it will be to ignore Hestia's family in the future.
"The Fierce" is too strong to break through common sense. Bell has great talent and potential, but Wood thinks it is unrealistic to catch up with him within three years.
So Wood changed his target and placed his bets on Aisi. Aisi, who has learned magic and "Six Styles", coupled with her own excellent swordsmanship talent, plus Haruhime's "Ten Thousand Treasure Hammer", even if
The opponent is the "ultimate weapon", and he is not untouchable!
Hearing how easily Wood agreed to their request, Tiona and the others were obviously stunned for a moment. Originally, she wanted to tease Wood just for fun, but she didn't expect that little brother Wood would be so generous this time.
I agreed!
"Brother Wood, did I hear you correctly? Are you really willing to teach us the "Six Styles"?
To be honest, do you have a crush on me or my sister, or do you want to play with sisters? I heard that there are meat clips over there in Happy Street...
Before Tiona could finish her bad words, she was interrupted by Wood, who had a black hair, stretched out his hand and said: "Stop, stop, stop, I know Amazon girls are basically lively and open, but please don't drive casually.
I will agree to it just because Amazon’s physical fitness is quite good, and the ‘Six Styles’ should be very suitable for you.”
"You really don't have any other plans. You don't even have to pay the tuition this time?" Seeing that Wood, who could only get in and out before, was so generous this time, Lefia, who didn't have much idea at first, couldn't help but feel a little moved at this moment.
.
And just when she was in a good mood and just wanted to imitate Tiona and say a few nice words, and engage in "Six Styles" for free, Wood looked at her and said: "There is nothing wrong with what Tiona and the others said.
As for Lefia, I’m afraid you can’t…”
Lefia: (*｀へ′*), I know how such a cheap thing can happen in the world!
It turns out that it’s not that they don’t use money, but that they use a special “payment method”!
But why do you say that she, Lefiya, is not good? No matter in terms of appearance or appearance, she, Lefiya, is worse than Tiona and the other two sisters?
Is it because she, Lefia, doesn't have a twin sister or older sister, so she can't satisfy this guy's perverted fetishes?
Looking at Lefiya's eyes that looked at him with contempt at least three times in one second, and her expression as if she was looking at a scumbag, Wood immediately knew that this elf girl must have thought wrong again.
Lefia seems to be the innocent one among the four, but she is the real Lao Siji in her heart. Why does Mao always think like this?
In order to prevent his integrity and character from being questioned, Wood naturally immediately gave an explanation: "Don't get me wrong, saying you are not good is not questioning your femininity.
Instead, practicing the "Six Forms" has strict requirements on physical fitness. Amazon's physical fitness is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people. Although Aisi is a little worse, at least her level is high enough.
As for the elves, you may have a good affinity for magic, but you are too weak in terms of physical fitness, and your Lefiya level is..."
Lefia: "?(ノ｀Д)ノ)Okay, you don’t need to say anything, why don’t I just leave!"
After the match between Group A and Group B ended, extremely warm cheers erupted from the audience soon.
Because the next battle between Group C and Group D is also attracting much attention. It can even be said that if the "Great Sage" hadn't suddenly appeared, the battle between the "Brave" and "The Fierce" would have been the battle for the entire Orario.
The strongest adventurers have a battle.
As the leaders of the families of the two giants in Orario, whether they are "strong" or "brave", both of them have considerable popularity and popularity.
However, at this moment, there were obviously many more people cheering for Horta than Finn.
This is not surprising, because for such a large-scale event, the casino will naturally open a betting market. Compared with before the start of the last game, everyone thought that Wood and Ace, who were similar in strength, were "strong" and "brave" in their eyes.
The difference in strength is quite huge.
Seeing that almost four-fifths of the people in the entire stadium were cheering for the "strong man", Loki's family and others who were watching the game also had ugly expressions at this moment.
The game hasn't even started yet, and these spectators seem to have already decided that they will lose, and Finn is still the leader of their Loki family, so what's the difference between this and a direct slap in their face?
"There is no need to be angry, they have all placed their bets on the 'strong one' and naturally hope that the other side can win.
And in this environment, the most beneficial way to resist is to use your own strength to shut up these people."
Riveria was a little angry when she saw so many people badmouthing their Loki family.
However, as an elder, she is calmer and understands that there is no point in arguing with these people now. This is the labyrinth city Orario, strength is the last word, and strength is respected among adventurers.
If you want others to think highly of you, just show your due strength!
Just like the "Great Sage" at the beginning, isn't it the same? Before, everyone thought he was a newbie who could be manipulated at will. But after Soma's family and Apollo's family hit the wall one after another, who dared to underestimate him?
On the ring, Ota and Finn stood opposite each other, creating the most adorable height difference.
Ota is a pig-human orc with a strong build and a tall figure, even almost two meters tall.
Finn, on the other hand, is a small human being, and he is not a special individual like Mia, so his height is definitely no more than 1.5 meters, and he is even only about the height of a child about 1.2 meters.
Of course, although Ota is a bit of a licker, it is undeniable that he is indeed a quite pure warrior and will not look down upon Finn because of his short physique.
"Brave Finn, actually I have been wanting to fight you since a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, this gambling battle with the "Great Sage" indirectly fulfilled my wish.
What you can't hide from me is that you are not only a "Sword Girl", but you have also been upgraded, right? Although you disguised yourself very well during the preliminaries, don't forget that I was also an adventurer at LV7, so you
Can't fool me.
How about it? Even if your opponent is me, do you plan to keep hiding your strength?"
Hearing what Ota said, all the spectators present were surprised, because they did not expect that "Brave" Finn had secretly upgraded without anyone noticing, and did not announce it to the outside world.
.
From Ayesha at the beginning, then Ota, and now to the "Sword Queen" and "The Brave", when did this trend become popular?
In the past, when the adventurers among the dependents were upgraded, the main gods were even worried that others would not know about it, so they showed off and bragged everywhere, but now they are all "acting like pigs".
"Haven't you noticed? This feeling of hiding your strength and then being exposed at a critical moment is even more satisfying than taking the initiative to show it off!"
"Yes, I also discovered it. No wonder Freya and Loki were so silent before. It turns out they have mastered the true secret of showing off."
"And haven't you noticed? This trend of hiding one's strength was definitely started by that child..."
In addition to the routine of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, many gods have actually discovered that since Orario appeared as a troublemaker like Wood, the top adventurers have even begun to get involved.
Due to the emergence of the "Great Sage", those first-class adventurers have felt the pressure, and now they have broken through the original bottlenecks and improved their levels.
The level improvement of Ais and Finn is actually related to their last "Great Expedition".
During the few months that Wood and Ishtar's family entered the underground city, Loki's family actually organized an elite team to implement the "Great Expedition" plan that had been decided long ago.
And because of the deepest map of the dungeon given by Wood, the operation of Loki's family this time was smoother than originally imagined.
Ais and Finn were also upgraded during the "Great Expedition".
Finn, whose level was raised from LV6 to LV7, originally thought that he would finally rise up and compete with Orta, Orario's "ultimate weapon", to grab some positions as the number one brother in Labyrinth City.
But who knew that Otate revealed that he had reached LV8 during the war game with Ishtar's Familia.
He, Finn, struggled in the dungeon for several months in order to get this promotion. During this period, he was in many dangers. He finally thought he had caught up with Ota, but in the end, he went even further!
Although he, Finn, is a small human, he is very ambitious. Who knows this feeling, family members!
Seeing that Otta had seen through his hidden strength, Finn did not continue to hide it, but admitted generously: "Fighting Orario's ultimate weapon, I will naturally not be arrogant enough to continue to retain my strength.
And not only will I not retain my strength, I even plan to use some external forces.
Although I don't want to admit it, I really can't defeat you now.
But for the sake of Loki’s family and myself, I don’t want to lose to you here!”
Finn clenched the spear in his hand, and a powerful aura belonging to the LV7 adventurer erupted from his body.
"Grow big! Do what you can, countless treasures and countless wishes. When the bell rings, pray for glory and fantasy
Become stronger! This body that swallows the divine food will be given the golden light of the gods. Give it a hammer to return to the earth, and give you blessings."
At the same time, Haruhime, who was entrusted, was currently under the ring and chanted the magic of the "Ten Thousand Treasure Hammer" to add a level-increasing buff to Finn.
Finn's original level of LV7 was directly upgraded to LV8 with the buff bonus of the Ten Thousand Treasure Hammer.
At this moment, Ota, looking at the short Finn in front of him, felt a faint threat and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Finn, who had completed his level upgrade, felt the majestic and almost inexhaustible power in his body. He did not choose to waste time, but immediately clenched the spear in his hand and rushed directly towards Ota.
And when he saw Finn shooting towards him, Otta didn't show any fear, he just held the giant sword in his hand and rushed towards him.
