Chapter 647 Competition (5000 word chapter, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day)
In the name of visiting, the city lord Kraut and Lord Walli immediately used the matter of the candidate for the Bright Knight to join forces to attack Eliza. This was something Solanton had not thought of in advance. It was like a superior leader came to inspect the work.
The people below have finally prepared all the inspection items that need to be dealt with, but suddenly a guy stops the car in front of everyone and complains about injustice. This feeling is very uncomfortable.
In fact, Solandon had already reached an agreement with Kraut and Walli regarding the candidates beforehand. Now the two people suddenly changed their faces and gave Solandon an unprepared blow. What made the priest hit the person even more shocked and angry,
Tenishiu, the captain of the Bright Knights who he trusted most, bit back at the most critical moment, making it impossible for him to step down.
It was Solandon who used the connections behind him to guide Tenisiu. For more than ten years, the two of them had worked together tacitly and managed the church in Garden City in an orderly manner. At least there were no big troubles, and the "political achievements" were quite good.
A few days ago, Solandon even came to do some ideological work with Tenisiu because of this quota issue. When Tenisiu heard that it was related to the overall situation, he immediately agreed and asked his disciple Rodan to voluntarily give up the candidacy. But Solandon
He felt sorry and promised a lot of benefits. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment today, Solanton suddenly appeared and stabbed him in the back, a fatal blow!
Seeing the cold smile that flashed across Tenisiu's square face, Solandon suddenly realized that the central figure in this incident was not Fatty City Lord or Lord Walli, but Tenisiu!
——Why did Lord Kraut and Lord Walli know the exact time of Elisa’s arrival and visit quickly? Why did they change their faces at the same time and reveal the candidate? This is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time!
Even if there is no excuse as a candidate, there will be other incidents, and the purpose is to discredit the Garden City Church in front of Eliza! Discredit Solandon, the person in charge!
In normal times, this kind of dispute over candidates would be a trivial matter, but the church's internal personnel is about to undergo an important change. At this sensitive moment, any details may affect the outcome of the future reshuffle.
Whether it is Solandon or the rebellious Tenisiu, they are just chess pieces in the hands of the big shots. This conspiracy, including this conspiracy, is also a manipulated game. However, for chess pieces, failure means being abandoned.
,So, never retreat!
Tenisiu has begun to continue to sprinkle salt on the knife he stabbed: "The Knight of Light is synonymous with justice and strictness. Ever since I swore an oath in front of the statue of the God of Light, I have been adhering to this creed until now. Now I can see it with helpless eyes.
Justice has been violated, and despite being threatened by powerful forces, I still cannot remain silent."
Eliza never expected that such a scene would happen when she first arrived in Garden City. She was even more shocked: "What on earth is going on?"
"Sister Elisa, you should have understood with your wisdom," Solandon had calmed down, "This is not an ordinary frame-up. It is a conspiracy against the church in Garden City. I am very sad about this conspiracy.
There are actually important members of the church involved, and they are my most trusted arms, or maybe this is simply a trick planned by Tenisiu!"
Tenisiu was prepared to fight and immediately retorted: "Sister Elisa, you don't know something. This 'Richard' is just an incompetent person. He relies on the relationship with Solanton's cousin Mana to
I don’t know how many bribes were used to become the only candidate recommended by the Garden City Church, but the truly powerful candidates were all suppressed and deceived by Solandon. I can protect it with my life, and everything I said is true.
.Please ask Sister Eliza to uphold justice and let the greed and selfish desires hidden behind the glory have no hiding place!"
"Then what should we do?" Eliza seemed a little at a loss for a moment, "Your opinions seem to make sense..."
"It's very simple," Tenisiu said with a confident look: "Facts can prove everything. As long as the four candidates compete in front of everyone, the truth will be revealed."
"Is that so..." Eliza looked at Joanna inquiringly. Joanna was also a person who had seen the world, and nodded slightly to her.
Paul observed his words and immediately said: "The winner is the king, strength is the most convincing thing."
This sentence had a vague allusion to Samuel. When Joanna heard it, it felt particularly harsh. She snorted coldly without saying anything.
Paul is the number one genius in the Longhuang Empire and one of the contenders for the Knights of the Holy Mountain Temple this time. His words will naturally carry considerable weight, and Tenisiu and others are all happy.
Here Elisa has stabilized her emotions and nodded: "In that case, let them compete once. If who can win, I will use the privileges granted by the Holy Maiden to directly appoint him as an alternate Bright Knight. As for who can win?
If the loser really has outstanding strength, I will also recommend it to my uncle to increase the number of candidates in Garden City, so I ask several candidates to show their strength and perform well."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two candidates, Omi and Met, lit up at the same time.
Turney bowed and said: "Sister Elisa is indeed wise, but it is not convenient to compete here. I suggest going to the church's arena. Solanton, do you have any objections?"
"Huh! Of course I have no objection." Solanton and Mana looked at each other, both of them looking a bit ugly. Now that things have happened, they are already riding a tiger and can only take one step at a time.
The church's arena is equivalent to a large arena, with spectator seats surrounding it, so you can clearly see everything on the stage.
A young man appeared next to Tenisiu, his disciple Rodin. Rodin was in his twenties, carrying a broad sword on his back, and his eyes looked very sharp.
Solanton's brows furrowed tightly. Omi and Met were fine with it. This Rodan was not simple. He was a genius from the Yangshao Kingdom. He had amazing potential. With the true inheritance of Tenisiu, his strength had already reached the master level.
In the past four years, he single-handedly defeated the vicious Blood Mist Bandits, becoming famous for a while, and his actual combat ability and experience are quite formidable.
In contrast, although "Richard's" real strength is still at the division level, his specialty is the art of controlling animals, and his combat power is definitely not as good as Rodan. Now we can only pray that he can perform beyond his level and create miracles.
Under the attention of everyone, the three candidates walked to the arena one by one, while "Richard" seemed to be late.
What surprised Eliza was that there was an eagle on "Richard"'s shoulder, and a wind leopard followed beside him.
Chen Rui saluted Elisa from afar: "Sister Elisa, I am a beast master, so please allow me to fight with my partners.
"It turns out that Richard is a beast master!" Eliza suddenly became interested, "Of course!"
All four of them stood on the ring. To be precise, there were two beasts...well, one bird and one beast.
The rules of this competition are very simple. Four people attack each other, and whoever falls off the ring or admits defeat will be judged as a loser. Whoever can stand on the ring in the end is the winner.
Solanton's previous warning rang in Chen Rui's ears again - "Rodan is too strong. Try not to fight him head-on. Try to knock Omi and Mate off the ring first. Then try to show your strength and try to hold on for a while longer."
, even if we lose, it would be nice to have an explanation."
Too strong? This word is just ridiculous to Chen Ruilai. Among the people present, there are only two people who can barely catch the eye. One is Paul, whose comprehensive strength has reached A-, the first stage of the Demon Emperor, and is also the first stage of the Demon Emperor. Chen Rui sees
Paul's strength is even higher than that of Samuel. He should be close to the edge of breaking through to the middle level; the other one is actually Eliza, whose superficial strength is C, but whose real comprehensive strength is A, the middle level of the Demon Emperor, which is better than Paul
High, especially her mental power has reached A+. It seems that this girl can become a disciple of the saint for no reason.
As for Rodan's strength, he is only a c- demon lord in the first stage, and the other two connections, one is e and the other is e-, are not worth mentioning at all.
However, Solandon really valued Chen Rui, who had the "Beast Control Technique", and specially stuffed two scrolls into him to save his life.
With Paul as the referee making an announcement, the contest began.
Almost at the same time, Omi, Mate and Rodan all attacked Chen Rui.
"This is not fair! They are all attacking Richard," Solanton stood up suddenly, "This was colluded in advance!"
"Lord Solandon, you are an absolute amateur when it comes to this kind of battle. Generally speaking, in a battle, the person who looks weakest is the first to be killed. Who makes that Richard look vulnerable?" Turni
Xiu responded immediately, actually explaining it to Eliza.
Rodin has been lurking behind Omi and Mette, and he actually disdains these two people in his heart. However, because he can't figure out the reality of "Richard", he lets these two idiots take the lead in exploring the details.
The wind leopard next to Chen Rui roared and took the lead to meet him. Omi and Mate shuddered at the same time, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him like lightning. Omi, who was the first to bear the brunt, was frightened and hurriedly stepped back.
He hoped that his "ally" Rodan could help him block this wind leopard, but when he looked back, Rodan was gone.
Seeing that the wind leopard was about to pounce, Omi didn't care much, and immediately took out a scroll of acceleration and activated it. His speed suddenly doubled, but Omi did not choose to fight the wind leopard, but like the wind
He ran towards Matt, trying to divert the trouble eastward.
After discovering Omi's intentions, Mate cursed in his heart. He was a magic practitioner and his melee ability was almost zero. It was impossible to withstand the attack of the Wind Leopard. Once Omi succeeded, his skin would be peeled off even if he did not die.
In desperation, Mate threw a slowness spell at Omi who was charging towards him. The wind-like "elegant" figure immediately slowed down. Mate quickly seized the opportunity to distance himself from Omi. As a result, Feng Leopard
Much closer to Omi.
"You bastard!" Omi had already cursed. In a hurry, he threw out a bunch of scrolls, causing explosions and finally blocking the Wind Leopard's attack temporarily.
Although Mate's magic power was limited, he still had a lot of scrolls. He and Omi were scolding each other while using magic scrolls to explode each other. Under Chen Rui's deliberate control, Feng Bao did not seize the opportunity to attack fiercely, but tightened and loosened at times.
This farce is even more exciting.
The fat city lord and lord below did not expect such a scene to occur, and their faces were a little ugly.
Solanton's voice sounded in time, full of sarcasm: "I'm really not very good at fighting, but this is the first time I've seen such a wonderful scroll battle, and it's two 'future' knights of light."
Sister Eliza didn't even bother to listen to this now. She was watching the "fierce battle" between Omi and Mate with great interest. When she saw the "**" part, she couldn't help holding her stomach and laughing violently.
In the audience, more eyes were focused on Chen Rui and Luo Dan. Compared with the two clowns, these two people were the real protagonists.
The battle between Chen Rui and Luo Dan was also a chasing battle, and it was Luo Dan who had the upper hand. The broad sword in his hand was like a hurricane, chasing Chen Rui. Even though the barrier of the arena was strong, there were also people on the ground from time to time.
Cracks caused by huge pressure.
Luo Dan's attack was very ruthless, and his sword never left the vital point. If Chen Rui only had the strength of his appearance, once he was hit, even if he survived, he would become crippled.
Chen Rui, who fell into a passive position, kept retreating and dodging. There were several dangers. The baby thunderbird standing on his shoulder remained motionless, as if petrified.
Tenisiu showed a confident smile. Although Rodin could not compare with a genius like Paul, his qualifications and potential were among the best in the entire Yangshao Kingdom. In a few years, even he, a teacher, would be surpassed.
.A mere beast master is not worth mentioning.
Luo Dan shouted loudly, and the broad sword in his hand erupted with a strong yellow light. The sharp energy shot out of the air and slashed at Chen Rui, who was not on a firm footing. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Chen Rui seemed to have an idea. He was a lazy ass on the spot.
Rolling, narrowly avoiding the blow, a ten-meter-long crack appeared on the stone slab on the ground, and the baby bird also flew up because of Chen Rui's roll.
Just as Rodan was about to pursue his victory, he felt a bright light in front of his eyes. The intense light stung his eyes, and he was temporarily unable to open them: Flash Technique?
Flash spell is the lowest level of light magic. It mainly emits dazzling light to block the enemy's sight. For a while, the audience's sight was also blocked.
Suddenly, Rodan, who closed his eyes, keenly felt a sense of danger and immediately blocked it with his sword.
"Zizi..." This attack turned out to be a bolt of lightning, and Rodan's whole body suddenly twitched. Although the power of the lightning was not fatal, it temporarily incapacitated him.
Immediately afterwards, the feeling of danger arose again, and what made Rodan terrified was that this time it seemed a hundred times stronger than the last time!
Rodin's screams were heard in the dazzling light, and Tenisiu's proud smile suddenly froze on his face.
When the light dissipated, Rodan was seen rolling on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands and making a shrill scream.
On the opposite side, Chen Rui had already climbed up, panting violently. The leather armor on his chest and abdomen was cut in half. It looked like this. If he were to dodge a little later, he would be disemboweled. What attracted people's attention was the baby of the thunderbird.
The bird has appeared on Chen Rui's arm from his shoulder, with blood dripping from its sharp beak.
"Rodan!"
Tenisiu was stunned by this scene. He couldn't believe his eyes. His genius disciple Rodan actually lost!
This is not only the failure of a candidate knight competition, but also the failure of another battle.
Solanton and Fatty were equally shocked. "Richard" who even they themselves were not optimistic about, miraculously knocked down Rodan!
"Impossible, what kind of despicable plot did you use?" Tenisiu roared and rushed towards Chen Rui on the stage desperately.
Chen Rui seemed to be exhausted from the battle just now and was unable to dodge for a moment. At this moment, the figure of Paul, the referee, appeared in front of Tenisiu. Before everyone could see Paul's movements clearly, Tenisiu's huge
His body flew backwards and hit a wall dozens of meters away. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while. There were large human-shaped cracks on the wall, which showed the power of this blow.
"How dare you ignore the rules of the competition!" Paul said coldly, suspended in the air. This attack was meant to show off his strength.
Omi and Matt, who had finally eased the pursuit of the Wind Leopard, were horrified to see the scene of Rodan's failure. The tragic situation made both of them shudder. The two who had been yelling at each other just now this time
They looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then they all made a move: jump off the ring.
Chen Rui shouted, and Feng Bao did not rush down to the ring to chase Omi and Mate, but slowly approached Rodan, who was rolling and howling underground.
"Lord Paul." Chen Rui "reluctantly" recovered some physical strength and bowed to Paul, "I think there is no need to continue this battle. Although I am not a person who is merciful to the enemy, but there are some here
Sister Eliza and Madam…it’s better not to let the ladies see such a shocking scene.”
The wording "Mrs." made Paul feel comfortable. Looking at this "beast master", he felt particularly pleasing to the eye and nodded immediately: "The competition is over! Omi and Mace have surrendered. Rodin has lost the ability to continue fighting. I
Announced, the winner is Richard!"
Chen Rui saluted the audience again and staggered down the stage. Solandon and Mana quickly greeted him and helped him aside to rest. Solandon, in particular, could hardly conceal the ecstasy in his heart.
This time, it was all thanks to "Richard" who not only succeeded in making a comeback at the most important moment and won the candidate battle without any controversy, but also defeated the conspiracy of Tenishiu and the forces behind him! Of course, that cable
The flash scroll presented by Langton also played a key role - at least the priest himself thinks so.
"Just now, Richard used the scroll of the Flash Technique at the critical moment, and then commanded the thunderbird to emit the lightning talent. While Rodan was paralyzed by the Lightning Technique, he blinded his eyes." Paul explained to everyone that Chen Rui had won the victory just now.
After that, although the flash technique also made Paul close his eyes, with his saint-level strength, even if he only relied on his perception ability, he could clearly see everything happening in the field - at least that's what Paul thought.
In fact, the flash spell, lightning, and Thunderbird's invasion were just cover. Before the Thunderbird could get close to Luo Dan, a trace of Chen Rui's power had already destroyed Rodan's defense. Yes, his eyes were destroyed by this trace of power. Honestly, if
Luo Dan's attacks before were not so cruel, and Chen Rui would not be so cruel. In short, he used a "Richard" method and won the victory without any flaws in front of everyone.
According to Eliza's previous promise, Chen Rui has now become an alternate Bright Knight, one step closer to that plan.
