Chapter 238 Seeking the Shadow Area in the Blood Emperor's Heart
The people in the audience cheered when they saw Gilniv's appearance. Gilniv smiled and raised his hands to greet the people.
Then there was another louder cheer, which made Gilniv feel that his popularity in the empire had not declined yet, and he felt a little relieved.
"Thank you Your Majesty, then! Dear viewers, the long-awaited Battle of King Wu is about to begin. During this preparation time, please wait patiently." The words of the emcee were amplified by the magic props.
"King Martial!" This should have nothing to do with Gilniv, but Gilniv still stood in front of the stage and muttered to himself.
Gilniff knew the information about King Martial beforehand and had done some investigation before. After all, he had previously wanted to bribe King Martial to deal with Ainz Ooal Gown or Elizabeth. Monsters should be dealt with by monsters, right?
However, after the battle on the Kaz Plains, this idea was immediately abandoned.
"Your Majesty, who is King Wu's opponent?" The Holy Scripture Priest from the Theocracy spoke for the first time.
"I don't know. The arrangement of King Wu's competition this time was also decided on the spur of the moment. The organizer seems to have been unwilling to disclose it in order to increase the topic, and did not indicate it in the submitted program list." Gilniv also felt strange about this matter.
.
"So that's how it is..." the Holy Scripture Priest responded.
"But the only ones who can challenge King Wu in a duel are adamantine-level adventurers, right? Everyone from Silver Bird is here, so King Wu's opponent should be someone from the eighth level company, right? To be honest, I personally am
I don’t agree with letting precious adamantium-level adventurers participate in such a battle where they may lose their lives, and... it’s just for show.” Gilniv said, being able to retain a fighting force now is a hope.
"Really...I don't know who is stronger, King Wu of the empire or our Dark One? If I have the chance, I would really like to see it." The chief priest of the Holy Code said, and then he saw the petite female priest slightly.
After a little action, it was obvious that the pitch black mentioned by the chief priest should be the petite female priest.
Speaking of darkness...it should be the Theocracy's most powerful ace unit, the Black Scripture!
Is that female priest a powerful member of the Black Scripture? No wonder the members of Silver Bird had such a reaction when they came in. Gilniv paid more attention to the petite female priest.
But why did the Holy Canon Priest of the Theocracy say this? Did he want to show off his military power in front of him?
Although Gilniv had heard a little bit about the Theocracy's Black Holy Scriptures, he just judged his strength based on what he heard. Gilniv didn't want to suffer the third time.
I have seen King Wu's matches several times, and that opponent is not something that humans can defeat... After all, King Wu is an ogre, and a very powerful ogre. He has to defeat an ogre with powerful regeneration capabilities in a human body.
, it’s just nonsense.
There is a reason why Gilniv made such a judgment. The Theocracy attaches great importance to human beings. Logically speaking, the only people who can join the Ace Force should be human beings!
According to their philosophy, there are limits to human abilities, unless that person chooses not to be a human anymore... So it is still too difficult for a human body to defeat King Wu, right? Not to mention such a petite girl!
Uh... when he mentioned the petite girl, the face of the female devil flashed through Gilniff's mind again, remembering her sinister and cunning smile.
"This is just my personal wish. Please don't worry about it. Okay... Your Majesty, can you please give me your previous answer?" the Holy Canon Priest said.
Yes, now is not the time to dwell on this question. We need to explain it clearly first. Gilniv sat down, picked up a pen, and was about to write down the answer.
"Everyone in the audience! I've kept you waiting! The challenger is about to enter!" The emcee's voice came from the audience again. When Gilniv heard this, he stopped again. He was just curious about which warrior would be so unwilling.
I was ordered to challenge the famous King Wu.
But since it can be used as a gimmick by the organizer, the strength should be guaranteed, but are there still such strong people in the empire?
If he is really strong, no matter whether he wins or loses in this game, it is best to recruit him to serve the empire. Remember, this is how Gazef, the warrior captain of the kingdom, was discovered.
"Then! The challenger is invited to enter! The King of the Sorcerous Kingdom! His Majesty Ainz Ooal Gown!!" the master of ceremonies in the audience continued to shout.
"Huh??" As soon as Gilniv heard the name, the pen in his hand slipped directly from his hand.
The noisy arena suddenly became dead silent, and of course... the same was true in the VIP room.
Gilniv raised his head and saw that almost everyone had the same look on their faces as he had no idea what was going on.
However, the eyes of the two chief priests from the church were fixed on the confused Gilniff.
This! It seems! I didn’t have any auditory hallucinations. The name I heard just now was indeed Ainz Ooal Gown!
But why? Why is he here?
I have never heard of a king from any country going to a foreign country to participate in fighting competitions! Is this guy’s brain broken? No one with any common sense would do this!
But what surprised Gilniv even more was that he had been keeping an eye on the Sorcerous Kingdom's movements. If Ainz Ooal Gown entered the empire, he would definitely receive the news immediately.
This matter is the first priority! But now I have not received the report, which means...did he sneak over here?
Why would he do such a thing? Come to the arena? Could it be... it couldn't be so! Gilniv felt a chill on his back, and then felt a cramp in his stomach.
At this time, Gilniv noticed that the Holy Scripture Priest sitting in front of him raised his head slightly, and saw his sharp eyes through the gap in the hood.
This means... he thinks that he is the one who called Ainz Ooal Gown here! If the position were changed and it was him, he would judge the same way!
"No! Please wait!! This is a trap!" Gilniv quickly explained. This is Ainz Ooal Gown's plan! He definitely didn't call him here! What he has to do now is to let the Saint of the Theocracy
Chief Priest Dian understands!
Gilniv was very panicked and wanted to continue to explain something, and then glanced at the three bodyguards behind the Holy Code Priest. He was very worried that these three bodyguards would attack on the spot, leaving no room for conversation.
.
However, no, the three bodyguards did not make any unnecessary movements. Gilniv just saw the petite female priest raising her head slightly, and the black hair covered by the hood with a little pink hair was revealed from the front of the hood.
came out, and the right eye with yellow pupils was vaguely visible through the gap in the hood.
Gilniv was stunned for a moment... He forgot all the words of explanation he wanted to say just now, and stared blankly at this very familiar female priest.
