Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 89 Winning or Losing in Martial Arts Contest
The afternoon assessment was held in the large classroom in the barracks. The space inside was spacious and suitable for fighting. It seemed that the evaluation committee had given it some thought.
As soon as Shen Zhimo got off the carriage, someone led him in. The space was about 400 square meters, and the ceiling was more than four meters high. The windows were opened more than three meters high, and the light was projected down, illuminating the surrounding area very brightly. The floor was elastic and
The tough oak wood had several cracks and was filled with brown blood spots. It was obvious that the soldiers were not too friendly when practicing.
Vernal, Administrative Officer of Thorn Bird City, Heiman, Director of the Personnel Department of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, Isaac, Coordinating Commander of the City Defense Command, and Linton, Bishop of Thorn Bird City of Holy Light, all sat expressionlessly at the table in the front row, staring coldly.
Look at the few candidates in front of you for the assessment.
The first person is Rodan, the gryphon knight. This man is tall and thin. He wears a set of leather armor. His face is full of violence and killing. His thin wrists seem to contain all kinds of strength. Only warriors who have been baptized on the battlefield can do this.
Such a powerful momentum.
In addition to the Holy Knights, the Griffin Knights are the most elite troops in the empire. They have absolute air superiority. The soldiers who can be selected into the Griffin Army are all carefully selected. It is not an exaggeration to choose one out of a thousand.
Every knight has extremely powerful strength and combat experience. They are thoughtful, brave and resourceful, and have the courage and ability to match a hundred. Any enemy who sees them will tremble from the bottom of their hearts. This Rodan is the military commander.
The selected elites are by no means simple.
The second person is Morgan, the deputy leader of the Crystal Glory Mercenary Group. The military department is the backstage boss of Viper’s Fang, so the Prime Minister naturally does not show weakness and supports their enemy Crystal Glory. This Morgan once went deep into the Hillilgan Desert alone.
The Canyon of Despair, exploring the ruins of a civilization that has been lost in history, fighting against the vicious zombies entrenched there, and retrieving several ancient evil magic books for the Ministry of Magic to study. His courage is very commendable, and he was also captured by the regent.
The king praised him for his extraordinary courage and knighted him, making him a number one figure.
The third person is Patrick, the captain of the guard of Count Duwe of Tulip. Count Duwe is a confidant of the Prince Regent, and his subordinate Patrick is a senior swordsman who is proficient in swordsmanship and has a glorious record. At that time, there were people who were very popular for assassinations.
Count Tulip was in a very dangerous situation. Patrick single-handedly challenged ten assassins with extraordinary skills, but he still managed to survive, beheading three people and capturing two alive. His tyrannical swordsmanship was undeniable.
The fourth person is, of course, Shen Zhimo, who was recommended by the Ministry of Magic. Apart from a few entries in the household registration, this person has almost no records. I have never heard of his name before. It seems to be a mystery from where he came out. Since magic
The Ministry also wanted to get involved, so we had to give them face.
The four examiners on the rostrum were whispering to each other, seemingly intimate, but in fact they were scheming. You plotted against me, and I ran against you. Director of the Personnel Department, Heyman, took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "Your Excellency, Mr. Isaac, Mr. Bishop Linton, this
What do you think about this matter?"
Isaac snorted: "What do you think? How many benefits did your Human Resources Department give to the leader of the mercenary group to get him to agree to be the Sheriff of this broken city?"
When mentioning the Broken City District, Vernal looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Everyone signed up according to the rules set at the beginning. There are no benefits or disadvantages."
Heyman retorted: "You even sent out gryphon knights, your military department is really willing to spend money."
Isaac's eyes widened and he was about to get angry: "Since we are facing recruitment from the whole society, why can the mercenary captain come but not the gryphon knight? Is it possible that the Ministry of Internal Affairs still wants to intervene in the city's security management?" He didn't dare to say it openly.
When talking about the Prime Minister, we point the finger at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"City defense is city defense, and public security is public security. Don't confuse them with each other. When public security is improved, it will be easier for our Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect taxes. Isn't it a contribution to the empire? Look at the several urban areas that your military department is responsible for. They are in a state of chaos. There are people everywhere.
You are beggars and gangsters, how much tax can you get? If you can’t collect taxes, how can you feed you losers?"
Isaac was speechless and snorted again.
The Holy See has obtained the regent's benefit promise, so it naturally wants to speak good words for the people on Earl Tulip's side. Bishop Linton prayed to the Holy Light devoutly and decided to remain neutral for the time being, saying: "The Holy Light tells us that we must have a heart of tolerance.
, kind heart, in my opinion, everyone has their own merits, why not have a fairest duel, whoever wins will win, and the loser must not complain. Also, the Ministry of Magic has also hired people
, they have nothing to say about what the outcome will be."
Isaac thought to himself: "The secret report said that you bought four beautiful female slaves and locked them up at home to play sadistic games every day. You still talk to me about mercy. It's so fucking shameless." He felt that the arguments were just words.
Li, you can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you either. Not everyone will be satisfied. It's better to follow Bishop Linton's method and have a real contest. The Griffin Knight won't lose anyway. He nodded in agreement:
"Your Excellency, the Bishop is absolutely right. Sheriffs need to be in good health to be competent. Director Heyman, aren't you afraid?"
Heyman remained calm at all, as if he was very confident in himself, and sneered: "What's the matter, just rely on your strength to fight. I hope you won't regret it then."
Up to now, a few people have basically made a verbal agreement, which is nothing more than the principle of winner takes all.
Isaac opened the directory, browsed through it, and said, "Why hasn't the person named Saga recommended by the Ministry of Magic come yet? If he doesn't come, he will be disqualified!"
"Wait a moment, time is not too tight anyway." Bishop Linton did not want to offend the most powerful department in the country, not to mention that the Ministry of Magic, regardless of the military or the Holy See, has inextricably linked interests. The relationship is very important, so I'm afraid
He couldn't bear the blame from the archbishop.
The three candidates waiting on the field not only looked at each other covetously, but also were extremely angry. This birdman from the Ministry of Magic really didn't take others seriously, so there would be nothing to say later.
There were heavy dragging footsteps outside the door, as if they were coming! Everyone craned their necks to see who this Saga was, and the Ministry of Magic did not hesitate to push him out to fight against the major forces.
The first person to come in was the guard who announced: "I would like to inform you all, Sir, Mr. Saga has arrived."
"Let him in."
The door opened, strong sunlight filtered in from the outside, and everyone's eyes were focused on the visitor.
Because of the backlight, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could see that this man was tall, with extremely broad shoulders, and a head of black flowing shawl-long hair. The short-waisted blouse made his figure even more powerful. The cigarette butts on his mouth were clearly extinguished, and they were spitting out from time to time.
White smoke - actually holding a cigar in his mouth, his posture was indescribably arrogant and domineering. He walked toward the center of the large classroom with his pointed-toe riding boots inlaid with metal soles, his shoulders swaying sloppily, and his face had a joking expression, and
He still looks like an evil smile. Is this still a candidate recommended by the Ministry of Magic? Why does he look more and more like a murderous and swindling pirate?
The three players on the court were very calm and did not look at him twice.
