Chapter 205 – 199 Farhist Tournament
Before the finals of the tournament, the losers from the semifinals were preparing for a match to decide third and fourth place, but Hwanin lost interest and went to the waiting room with Yurpa to see his girls.
But she couldn’t meet him.
He was stopped by Farhast’s knight who was blocking the passage to the waiting room.
=Visiting the finalists is strictly prohibited.=
“We are the same party and colleagues as them.”
= Still impossible. During this period, even if you are the lord of the castle, you will not be able to approach it, so please give congratulations and encouragement to your colleagues after the finals.
Even if the lord of the castle came, I couldn’t meet him. Hwanin thought that there was nothing he could do and turned her steps back.
The reason is clear.
‘Perhaps it’s to block any room for denial to intervene.’
For example match fixing.
=I’ll buy 70 copies by winning the silver wall!=
=20 pieces of silver iron walls.=
=Please give me 5 red greatswords~.=
=Of course, winning is a silver wall! With Silver Iron Wall 100!=
=I’ll buy 1 silver iron wall and 1 red greatsword.=
= No, why are you sharing your life like that? Then whichever wins will be a loss?=
=Gezi, a collector of tournament tickets.=
=Ah.=
Outside the arena, under ornate panels near the entrances, escorted by knights, administrators run the gambling business.
One silver coin per ticket, up to 100 tickets per person can be purchased, and the amount of money is exchanged according to the number of tickets according to the dividend.
If match-fixing was possible, making money would literally be as easy as pouring water into it, and since people do anything to make money, they must have blocked access with the holy spirit.
‘It’s calculating.’
And also conscientious.
There is even a saying that warriors and warriors live on honor and die on honor. If rumors spread that he approached participants and entrants for match-fixing and was rejected, the face and honor of Seongju himself and the lives of the entrants are at risk.
It is a choice that cannot be made without a certain degree of discipline and rationality to avoid such unsafe factors and to obtain profits only from exchange fees while taking the honorable benefit of protecting the property of players and buyers in match-fixing.
Hwanin, who came out of the stadium, had a few hours left before the finals, so he and Yurpa walked around the area looking at souvenirs, seeing people, and having lunch.
Among them, the one that caught Hwanin’s attention was the booth’s souvenir booth, which was stylish and comparable to Earth.
= The girls are very popular. I think it’s the best ever.=
“Portrait rights… Nothing will be the same.”
A huge number of people were gathering and purchasing portraits of Isilite and Anne, as well as replicas of weapons and armor.
The fact that her women’s faces were being sold to unknown men and women made her a little uncomfortable, but the fact that she felt uncomfortable made it even more amazing, and she put her hand on Yurpa’s waist and was walking down a crowded street. .
Seeing the match prediction betting panel installed in a conspicuous place, Yurpa suddenly asks, curiously.
= You don’t bet? By his own eyes, he must already know who will win. =
“I know, but buying one will make the other dull. I won’t buy it because I think it will be more difficult to appease the sullen side than to gain dividends.”
= Pooh. That’s it. Especially if it’s Miss Anne, she’ll pout and squat down in her chair and pout her mouth.
The image is naturally pictured in my mind. Even if she is frowning and having fun, if Hwanin kisses her, she will laugh and cling to Hwanin’s neck, as if asking when she was upset.
Hwanin, who enjoyed a casual date with Yurpa, returned to the stadium 10 minutes before the start of the finals, and found a person waiting in front of his designated seat (1 gold coin) door, staring at him with an expressionless expression.
The person standing against the wall with his arms folded also waved his hand slightly when he saw Hwanin.
I looked at the black feathers shining like obsidian in the sunlight pouring in from the window for a while, then opened my mouth.
“What is Captain Cedwin doing here?”
=Someone gave me an order. Today is the Sabbath, and I’m going to pamper myself even on a day like this. Tsk tsk.=
Arel = Kedwin answers with a grin with a stylish black beak. His unique personal pronoun refers to only one person.
Hwanin felt the eyes of people passing by and glanced at him, and he opened the door to the reserved seat and said,
“There are many eyes to see, so go in and talk.”
=Um.=
A man of the leadern tribe, nearly 2.5m tall, untied his arms and bowed his head as he passed the door.
Hwanin frowned slightly as he watched his muscles clearly show through his clothes.
When he came to deliver the invitation to the lord of the castle, he didn’t feel it, but since it was less than a meter away, something strange caught his senses.
It is different from what I feel for professionals such as Isilite, Anne, and Yurpa. What is this?
Yurupa, who was looking around, closed her hood and whispered to Hwanin.
= I’ll wait outside because something important is going to happen. Someone should stop them from entering.=
“Please.”
Hwanin, who softly kissed Yurupa’s lips as she slipped away, stood next to Arel-Kedwin, who was standing on the railing and staring at the stadium overlooking the stadium.
“…….”
=…….=
Arel = Kedwin spoke first as he silently watched the staff arranging the large dance floor.
=Hey, have you ever been taught by someone?=
“There is, but it will be different from what Captain Cedwin thinks.”
= I see. I guess so. Well…… After all, do you see people’s actions clearly? Ah, this is different from Fenri’s orders. I want you to join this old man’s chatter for a while before I tell you the dreary story I’ve been ordered to do, so please be at ease. Heh heh heh.=
Arel-Kedwin, who said that if you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to, didn’t feel any sense of choice. It will literally be sincere.
Hwanin answered while concentrating more on the sensation he felt from Arel=Kedwin.
“Looks like you can see Captain Cedwin. I am read.”
= Oh, read…… That sounds like a wonderful day. As for me, when I look at someone, I see them somehow. How will your opponent move? How it will come out, how it will attack and how it will avoid it.=
“…….”
= I just thought it was because I felt a little better than normal. Why, isn’t there one or two toxic strong guys in every village? I thought I was one of those people.=
Arel laughed, saying that he was a little proud of his peers because he couldn’t do it, and after a while he let out a short sigh.
=The day after I had my coming-of-age ceremony, I realized that I was wrong through a herd of beasts that attacked the village. I came to realize that not only the adults in the village, but also the older brothers and sisters who guarded the village couldn’t do the same thing as me.
From the day he single-handedly stabbed and killed twenty or so animals, Arel had a question engraved in his mind.
Why can’t those people avoid being attacked by animals/monsters? Why can’t those people poke the gaps that animals/monsters reveal?
The question deepened as he got stronger, and turned into a thirst on the day he turned 22.
And two years later, 24-year-old Arel, who had slaughtered all the monsters in the forest near the village with a single sword, left the village where he was born and grew up with only a single sword, wanting to know why he was able to do this.
For the next three years, he wandered the northern, central, and southern Radsea with only a sword and a bag full of food.
When he was challenged to a fight, he fought regardless of whether it was a normal person or a professional person, an animal or a monster, a monster or a heteromorph. He fought and won
Although there were some adversities and hardships, he never threatened his life.
=No, there was, but that’s not my problem because even if I was a 8th or 9th grader, my life would be in danger. How do you deal alone with monsters that the army should have to deal with, such as Grand Beetle King Callaface and Gigantic Rhinosaur?=
Arel’s story reminded me of an leadern creature. A turtle the size of a skyscraper that carried a mountain on its back.
=Anyway, I went around like that, but I couldn’t find an answer. Then, 42 years ago, he set foot in Farkhist, the preparations for the festival, and that’s where he met the damn bastard. The kid who only talks about the subject of gom-tang-i.=
Know? Arel-Kedwin, winking with a wink, was full of flair.
Arel, who was hooked by the long-tongued guy, said that if he won the Masters Tournament, he would tell him what he was curious about.
And he participated in the Masters Tournament in the previous year, and won the championship there too…….
“So you joined the Royal Guard.”
= Yes. There, he fell for candy coating again and took over as the general manager. =
“So, did you hear the answer?”
= Ha! They said it was because I was a genius. No, who doesn’t know that? I’ve been wandering around for years and I’ve been told that you’re a genius! Can you guess what the child said?=
“I would have said that was an irresistible truth.”
=…… That’s right. That’s true, but I only heard scoldings for making it complicated.=
At that time, Seongju brought all the talented people in the castle and confronted them. Arel fought hundreds of people in the body of an unemployed man and defeated them all, and what about Arel who heard that in such an exhausted state? The story of accepting it.
After that, it was as Yurpa had said.
He became the leader of the Guards Warriors (among the people he defeated, there was a former squadron leader), and said that he had served as the leader of the Farghist Guards for 46 years.
A rough picture is drawn. The man in front of me must still be unable to escape from the time he wandered the meadow.
‘No, he must have wanted to throw off all the cumbersome things on his shoulders and wander the meadow as freely as he did back then.’
Such a mind was revealed as the deterioration of the title referring to the lord of the castle.
‘Choose? If he twists me, he kicks me out.’
…… Called.
And what he wants to say to himself is this.
‘Aren’t you interested in becoming the general manager?’
=Are you not interested in the position of general manager?=
Arell said while sweeping the crest of his neck.
= I’m not saying this because it’s my master. The lord of the castle is basically a person of character, and he doesn’t overuse his authority, unlike those idiots in Kravery and Wayford. He treats you according to your abilities, praises and rewards good deeds, and scolds and punishes bad things. He’s being fair. =
“…….”
=If you have the heart, I will recommend it directly to the lord. If it’s you, you’ll be enough to serve as the leader of the next generation of royal guards.=
Both Hwanin and Arel were aware of their opponents’ skills during the conversation.
While talking, I attacked with countless illusions, received an attack, avoided an attack, blocked an attack, and read and looked at the opponent’s number.
Meanwhile, Hwanin died 51 times and Arel died 49 times.
It’s a workshop that didn’t use the power of the spirit master at all, but it’s the same with Arell that there is a hidden one.
Whatever it was, if he and Arel were to face each other directly, the match would be decided in an instant after looking at each other without moving for about 5 minutes.
‘The result will be my defeat with a 51% chance.’
Hwanin closed his eyes and let out a small breath. Arel = My heart, which had heated up while fighting with Kedwin, slowly cooled down.
Buzz buzz…….
The spectators are slowly getting hotter.
In the eyes of the open soul, the spectators are seen as a huge lump of aura. The arena is a vessel of aura. The spectator is the contents of the bowl.
Hwanin, who watched for a moment as the staff carefully checked the performance stage, which was 9 times larger than before, quietly opened his mouth.
“I have a goal to do, so I can’t mail it to the Farghist. I have colleagues and lovers who follow me.”
= I see. Too bad. If you came, I would be able to clear my head and leave.
Hwanin replied in a feminine voice.
“Who can force a human being like you and me?”
=…….=
“People like us are human beings who walk on their own feet on the roads they please. Even if it is the wrong way.”
Arel-Kedwin, who had been caressing the crest of his chin without expression, suddenly felt relieved, and then let out a big, deep sigh as if to let go of all the worries and worries in the world.
And his mood changed.
Hwanin felt it. If we fight now, we will fight 100 times and lose 90 times.
Goosebumps run down his arms and neck. Did the anguish that weighed down his heart and head be resolved and his skills improved?
Arel-Kedwin, who had a smile on his eyes that was cool to look at, said.
=I wish I had heard that story 41 years ago.=
“If you had listened to it then, you wouldn’t have felt as liberated as you do now.”
= Kwk kwk. Yeah, that’s righthaha!=
Arel-Kedwin, who burst into a joyous laugh as if his insides were hollowed out, tapped Hwanin on the shoulder and said,
=If you don’t mind, visit my house anytime. To you, even the youngest daughter, who is like a treasure, is worth it!=
“I can’t give you a definitive answer.”
Arel-Kedwin, who laughed again at Hwanin’s reply, handed the Hwanin a luxurious token engraved with a white bear, and then turned around and said,
=This is the message from the lord of the castle.=
‘Your death is like the death of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of people, so please take care of yourself. Also, don’t hide your identity. The mark of our family will protect you’
“…….”
Hwanin felt it. He said that this was what the lord of the castle showed when he invited him to the castle.
= I don’t know what the lord of the castle meant to say such a thing, but the lord of the castle is not a great person to talk nonsense. If it’s enough to say that to someone like you, there must be a good reason.=
Therefore, Arel-Kedwin left, leaving behind the words that he hoped that he would not ignore the message of the lord of the castle.
Hwanin stared blankly at his empty seat for a long time while holding the sign.
While Hwanin lost his mind, the final match between Isilite and Anne returned to Anne’s victory amid tremendous shouts.
Isilite always took a defensive attitude and won the victory through a counterattack.
Anne, who always neutralized the enemy with a defensive attitude and won the victory.
It was because he gave up all of that style in the finals and went only to the attack.
A red greatsword that swings vigorously. The Giant Warhammer fell to block such a great sword and smash the torso, knees, arms and shoulders.
The smoke stand, which was paved with straight stones, was mercilessly smashed, and the phase power attached to the weapon became visible, creating a roar whenever they collided with each other.
The cheering cheers were high for both, but in comparison, Isilite’s was slightly louder.
Isilite, who wielded a 2.3m tall red greatsword like a longsword, was beautiful like a demon goddess, and the storm-like attack leaving a red afterimage looked so cool and gorgeous that even an outsider could see that there was something in it.
Anne also had a lot of fans because she was beautiful enough to be called a silver goddess, but her dynamism was divided into a weapon and a shield, and her footwork was also more static than Isilite, who moved dizzyly, so her splendor was relatively less revealed. There will be a difference
However, the crowd went wild because both performed equally amazing moves.
And expected. May Isilite, her mere 4th class warrior, defeat Anne, her 6th class mixed class, to become her catharsis for the underdog.
But such a thing is practically impossible.
Usually, the difference in sangyeoktong(桶) leads to a difference in skill. As long as they do not have overwhelming skills, the chances of winning for the lower grade are close to 0%.
It would have been possible if Isilite alone had learned defense and weapon skills from her phantom, but after Anne offered her virgin to her phantom and pledged her love, she changed even her shield to a small one and through her phantom You have accumulated proficiency in combat against humanoids.
The weapon skills and skills of the two are similar, but Isilite is higher. But her phase power is far superior to Anne’s. Anne’s proficiency in handling her phase power was much higher.
A defense specialist who lives there.
Isilite’s chances of winning were very low, and she knew that, so she decided to put her down early.
It was for this that she opened her onslaught as soon as her Great War began.
Kwakwawang! Kuwang, Kagagak, Kwaaang!
Giving Anne’s arm a strong load with her wrath-like attack by pouring her phasic power generously, Isilite caught her Anne holding her shield, her arm shaking slightly.
As planned. If it was my master, he would have set up countless trapezoidal plans leading to the 5th and 6th steps here, but she herself was limited to eliciting this reaction.
Isilite grabbed Redrick’s hilt with both hands and pushed her phasic power into it.
And when she sparred, she turned to Anne’s arm and shield, which did not shake no matter how much she was beaten…….
=Haaaaa!!=
=…… ?!=
She slammed Anne’s shield with the strongest and best attack she could deliver.
Kkwagwagwang-!!!
The red greatsword, Redrick, emits a red light for an instant, and the moment it hits the light of brilliance, an intense blow-type phase force explosion occurs and swallows Anne whole.
The explosion shattered the floor blocks, dented the ground, and created a dust storm mixed with a red haze.
If she had been attacked like this, she would have suffered a great blow no matter how much she hugged her.
Strongly swing Redrick with a cotton ball to blow away dust. And I tried to hit Anne, who might be revealing her gaps, but…….
=…… !=
= Ouch. You’re really cute Hide that she’s fully capable of dealing with Red Rick. =
When Isilite witnessed Anne erecting her shield, surrounded by a thin film of light, her pulse was blown away.
Taking a long exhalation, she lowered the red rick and opened her mouth.
= Whoops. I’ve been hiding it to win you over somehow…….=
= Whoever hears it will know that I am overwhelming? Do you know that our Dalian win rate is higher than yours?=
=That’s just a contest of skills.=
Isilite replied, ‘I have to pay for what was done.’ Her eyes widened and her shield and warhammer erected as she looked at Anne as she approached, then smiled broadly.
Then he raised his hand to the judge in the distance and declared.
= I lost. I’m out of phase power.=
Wow…… !!!!
The fierce cheers of her crowd poured out on Isilite, who was covered in sweat from the excessive use of her phasing powers.
Although she surrendered, it was because she had shown herself to overwhelm her opponents with fierce and flamboyant skill all through the day.
Isilite waved her hand towards her audience with a small smile on her limp face, and her Anne dazed, then grimaced and helped Isilite, who was nearing her phasic exhaustion. The sun moved her steps to where her priests were sitting.
Aaaaa…… !!!!
The sight of two beautiful young ladies making friendship again pours out loud cheers. But Anne was not happy.
I could hear her chanting Dew Seul-yi’s name more than her own.
= Woo. I won, but why do I feel like I lost…… ?=
=This means we lost but fought well.=
Anne narrowed her eyes and looked at Isilite, then pinched her side breast meat, visible through a gap in her armor.
=It hurts.=
=If you can’t speak, I don’t hate you.=
Anne grumbled at her words, but had a smile on her face that she couldn’t hide.
