Chapter 54 So that's it

East City, the gathering place for the richest group of people in Yorkshire. If religious buildings with strong colors such as St. Mark's Cathedral and Victory Bell Tower have now become a symbol of Yorkshire's external appearance, then this is the place with the strongest historical sense of Yorkshire.

Especially in a block located in the south of Dongcheng District, all kinds of ancient buildings and stone streets still exuded an ancient flavor in this era. This is the most central area in Yorkshire. Although there are not many people who can live here, each of them has the ability to determine the fate of countless people.

And this time the destination "Betty" restaurant is located here.

As one of the oldest restaurants in Yorkshire, "Betty" has a small front and even looks a bit old. However, in this old Gothic building with red brick houses, it is precisely because of the rich historical background of the restaurant itself that it has been open until now.

When eating here, what you eat is not something, but a taste, a taste of history.

There were three cups of cherry-red fruit wine on the table, and the faint fragrance of wine filled the nose. The atmosphere around it seemed very quiet, and there seemed to be a vague sound of a violin.

This is the only closed private room in the restaurant. Wang Yue, Annie and Zowei sat around, but nothing was said. He just looked at the two women in front of him with their eyes, their eyes were bright and thoughtful.

After putting together the experiences of the past and after two lifetimes, Wang Yue did not have much experience in dealing with women, especially when he was forced out to eat like today, and he didn't know what to say. He was determined not to come, but he couldn't bear to see this opportunity to approach Annie. Moreover, he had some questions about this sudden test and did not figure it out, so he needed Annie to explain it to him.

The training camp after the test was arranged in Kandahar City, which is obviously very important for Wang Yue's next move. The salon is now hiding in the original Harpists Guild and the headquarters of the current Overseas Business Federation...

So, although he was reluctant, Wang Yue still followed.

"Are you still having some doubts about this test?"

After sitting down, she just ordered a few glasses of pre-dinner wine. Annie handed over the ordering to Zuowei, who was beside her, and then she didn't give any discount when talking to Wang Yue, and went straight to the topic.

"It's something I don't understand. Isn't the newcomer challenge always scheduled at the end of the year? Why did this year be several months ahead of schedule?" Wang Yue nodded.

"To be honest, before Leo came, I was a little surprised when I received this news, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt normal. After all, our northern provinces have been calm for too long recently, and some people are unwilling to be lonely again! There has always been a saying in your Tang Kingdom, which is called "long separation, long separation, long separation, long separation, actually, this is the reason!"

Anne curled her lips and sneered suddenly.

"I'm not willing to be lonely? If you have a long separation, you will be together. If you have a long separation, you will be together? Is there any inside story to say this newcomer challenge?" Although Annie said this vaguely, Wang Yue still heard something unusual from the tone of her speaking.

"That's right. This newcomer challenge is no longer a matter of our Iron Crusader family, but also includes three other large fighting schools in the northern region. To put it bluntly, it is actually a special fighting exchange competition." Annie obviously knew some of the tricks here, so she didn't shy away and explained it very bluntly.

"Oh? It covers the fighting and exchange competitions in the entire northern region. This is a big deal!" Wang Yue instinctively felt that there were some problems here. If it were just a simple exchange activity of several schools, it would definitely not be so hasty...

"Are you saying that this matter was actually something that someone deliberately promoted behind the scenes?" An idea suddenly popped up in his head. Wang Yue said it out loud, but as soon as he said it, he felt something was wrong.

Although Anne invited him to dinner this time, the two of them had only met a few times, and they had never even said a few words, and they had no friendship at all. In this case, it was clear that they were just talking in a simple and profound way, and what they asked was a bit out of line.

"It has nothing to do with you. Just show me a good performance." Sure enough, after hearing Wang Yue's words, Annie immediately avoided the important things and slightly. However, she was afraid that Wang Yue would feel uncomfortable. After thinking about it, she explained a little: "I am not particularly clear about the specifics, but I can tell you something I know."

"Although more than a hundred years have passed since the era of the Great Revolution, the country's technological development is changing with each passing day, and the emergence and development of guns have almost fatal impact on fighting techniques, there are still many people who have been practicing fighting techniques. And due to the situation, various schools have broken many traditional taboos in order to survive and began to promote and spread more ordinary people. But this situation is not something that everyone is happy to see... So some people rack their brains and use any means to make trouble."

"They don't want to see a fighting world without disputes in the four northern provinces!"

"So there is this special exchange competition? Is it necessary to artificially create hatred between schools?" Wang Yue frowned, and said with a slight clarity: "No wonder this test was made by military people! People who practice fighting skills are strong and most young people are brave and cruel. If they disagree, they will cause disability. Especially many people are unwilling to be lonely and want to make a living by relying on their abilities. They either join gangs as thugs or become thieves and criminals. However, in small cities like Yorkshire, the human resources they die every year, I don't know how many such people are attacked. However, no matter how powerful the fighting skills are, people are flesh and blood, and they are not much better than ordinary people in front of guns. Is it still difficult for the army and the police to deal with it?"

"Things are not as simple as you think." Annie had not spoken yet, and Zowei, who was standing aside, suddenly interrupted: "A master who is famous for fighting will definitely not be willing to be lonely. Whether it is for making a living or for something, in short, he will teach many people the skills of fighting, and most of whom can practice fighting skills well will not be unknown. Over time, if several generations of people are entrenched in a region, it will naturally form a force centered on fighting skills, which is intricate and complex, forming various networks of relationships. To a certain extent, this force is actually a fighting school, just like you Iron Crusader. Once a school is formed, it has centripetal force and occupy one side, it will soon form a huge influence in the local area."

"And this influence is transcendent and difficult to restrain. To a certain extent, this will destroy the local social order..."

Wang Yue thought about it and nodded, deeply agreeing with Zuo Wei's statement.

He turned out to be the largest pirate leader in the Federation. Before he integrated the Wanshaxing system, although it was a paradise for pirates, there were hundreds of forces, big and small, just like a scattered sand, doing their own things. It was actually not a big harm to the huge federal government...

It was not until he emerged and formed the Wansha Alliance with the power of a level nine spiritual master. Nearly one million vicious pirate warriors were completely unified, holding 100,000 warships, and sitting on forty-three planets of all sizes. With a shout-out, he was regarded as a thorn in his eyes by the Federation and gradually became a major concern in the eyes of some people.

I compared my own experiences and put them in this world, the principle is actually the same. Not to mention that the level of technological development in this world has just begun, and it has not been a century since the beginning of cold weapons. Nine out of ten people who practice fighting skills are full of blood. In order to better inherit and survive, the threshold for teaching fighting skills has also been lowered, and there are almost no teachings. No matter how many of them can truly obtain true teachings, just as more people are practiced, the uncertainty factors in society will naturally increase.

They are all young men in their twenties, young people. When encountering problems, can you expect them to only reason? Jokes, just reasoning, what's the use of practicing fighting skills? The strong qi and blood, the temper that is just a little bit, who can control the matter when it comes to an end?

What's more, practicing fighting skills well is also a big trouble. Those masters are devoted to this and practice to a certain level. They must go out to explore and find people all over the world to compete and confirm. In order to improve their martial arts level, it is really an ordinary thing to take action without mercy, and to kill someone.

Then, you beat someone to death, and their sons and daughters come to take revenge and revenge, endless. Such a group of people are together, and it would be strange if there is no one to control them, it would be strange if they cannot become a gangster.

To use a famous saying from the ancient Tang Kingdom in the Eastern continent, this is a typical "chivalrous and martial arts violation", and it is the most incompatible with mainstream society in peaceful times.

The simplest way to use the crusaders themselves as an example. The Iron Crusaders were formed from several knights who survived the church's expedition. Although they had always had close ties with the government's army in the following hundreds of years and had a good foundation for cooperation.

But then again, you, a fighting genre that is only circulated among the people, are sent to the army for development. Even if only a small part of them can be left in the army and have certain powers, over the years, after calculating, the result is already amazing.

So many students are in high positions and hold military power. What are you going to do? Rebel?

Even if the Iron Crusader itself does not have this meaning, who can really rest assured? Such a genre with a long history really needs to have other ideas. At that time, it will be a naked mutiny!

Although this is just a possibility, no matter how many, this possibility exists.

"The four northern provinces cover a large area and have always been a place where military strategists must compete for, so some people above are not very relieved about us..."

"Then we artificially create conflicts and hatred, and ask several schools to kill each other. This is what we meant clearly, and most people can see it, right? Then we still have to attend this exchange meeting?" Wang Yue frowned.

"No? That won't work." Annie smiled, her smile seemed a little cold: "This time it was the military that took the lead. She used our newcomer challenge. It was an exchange and volunteered to participate, but if you don't participate, you can try it. Of course, there are some shoes for you to wear. Now everyone wants to live a good life, and no one wants to face it. Even if there is, they don't dare to stand out, for fear of shooting the first bird. But even if they participate, there is nothing to worry about. Our schools are all the same. They have mixed relationships in their respective regions and have official articles. Just follow their rules so that nothing will happen. Otherwise, if those people catch the handle, it will not be so easy to get out."

"So this test is to add this exchange match to me on behalf of the Iron Crusader?" Wang Yue pondered for a moment and stared at Annie.

"This test is just a preliminary test, followed by a training camp and re-examination. Finally, you can only choose the final candidate when you arrive at the headquarters, so you don't have to worry now. I don't know what the final result is? In short, you will have two days off first, and then go to Kandahar City with me. If you can pass the training camp smoothly, you will immediately become an elite student at the headquarters. At that time, there will be more advanced teaching of fighting secret techniques, which is enough for you to benefit for life."
