The sky was filled with stars, like silver pearls scattered in a black basin. The fine snow was flying in the air, and the ground was covered in white mist, like the mist on a jade plate. The sky and the earth were one. The white snow was scattered under the starlight, or the white snow was smeared with the starlight? The moon became the clear boundary between them.
I raised my head and looked up. A trace of crystal appeared in my eyes. Who was the one who said that even though we were separated, we would see the same moon? Would they be looking at the same sky?
It had been four years. How was his family? For me, silver strands must have appeared in my black hair. When did I start to become sentimental?
A hand suddenly touched my left shoulder lightly. I turned around and saw that it was Xiao Xi. He didn't say anything and looked at me meaningfully. Then, he looked up at the sky like me. Just like that, we didn't say anything and stayed in the courtyard for nearly half the night...
That day.
It was still noisy outside. I had the illusion that I had suddenly become an outsider, as if I was looking at a group of ant-like humans.
He smiled and shook off this thought. After all, he still had to walk the path.
We arrived at the venue early in the morning. This time, we didn't travel with Sylvie and the others. When we arrived, it was already overcrowded. If it weren't for the fact that we were participants, I don't think we would have been able to enter!
I looked at the Chiefs from afar and saw many familiar figures. The most eye-catching one was still Ison's armor. I think he was representing Ordin, right?
He shifted his gaze to the side and saw a group of mages surrounding Lloyd. He represented Babylon.
I saw Namifiya talking to Edwina in the priestess 'seat.
Farther away, I seemed to see Roman Lieutenant Milo.
When I looked away, I caught a glimpse of a familiar face. When I looked back, I could no longer see that face.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes and think, Am I seeing things?”
Xiao Xi saw me rubbing my eyes and asked,""What's wrong? Can't sleep well?"
I answered uncertainly,"I am." I think I saw Sheena just now."
Xiao Xi and Ta Zi's eyes were filled with shock."The priest from the Great Marsh?"
"I'm not sure." I tilted my head.”
I made a prompt decision and shouted,"Red Thorn!”
A few seconds after shouting, Red Thorn quietly appeared in front of me and said,"Master, do you have any instructions?"
I ordered,"Find out who's coming from the city. Don't let anyone suspicious go!"”
'Cause I feel like something's brewing around me...
The competition was based on a registration system, so although there were nearly a thousand people in Minerva, only about 200 people participated. This was because even if the rankings were out, it was useless. The people selected by the countries were mostly the top 30. Including the special students, there were a total of more than 300 people competing.
The music started and the competition had already begun. When they were drawing lots, Xiao Xi walked over and said,""Kaede, you're more accurate at grabbing things. Just take care of the tower! I should be fine for the time being!”
I nodded and said a few words before walking towards the tower.
As soon as I saw Ta Zi, I jokingly shouted,"I'm here to support you!"”
"I'll be relying on your guidance later."”
I patted my chest and said,"Leave it to me!"”
"If the difference is too great, it's useless even if I give you some pointers... Take out everything you've learned from Sins'!"”
After that, I told Ta Zi not to use his full strength right from the start. I told him to check out the other party's background first before sitting down in his number zone.
At this moment, he could still hear some miscellaneous words beside him.
"It's him, that disciple of Sylvie.”
"The one just now seemed to be the special student who followed Sinners.”
I hated the chattering sounds. It was like having someone talking to you in the cinema. I turned around and glared at them. I didn't expect it to be much quieter from then on.
In the first round, Ta Zi won very easily. According to my estimations, he should have a red badge now. When he looked for Sinses to learn martial arts, he didn't forget to look for Yiman to cast the Gravity Technique on him. I think he didn't dare to forget what I told him before!
After six or seven matches, I slowly realized that Xiao Xi's opponent quickly disappeared from the board. Not long after the start, his opponent's name tag was taken off. It was almost like killing his opponent in an instant!
Ah! She suddenly wanted to watch Xiao Xi's match…
While I was thinking, there was a fluctuation at the side. I turned around to look at the tower. In this match, the tower met a mage, and it was a black mage!
I called Tazi over and said to him softly,"You've encountered a black magician. Pay attention to the range of his gravity spell. Don't relax your mental strength to prevent his charm. When there's fog around, get out as soon as possible. That's the fog of slumber.”
I told him that many of the black magicians were chanting spells and signs, and asked him to repeat them to me. Only after there was no mistake did I let him go up and compete.
After the start, the tower quickly approached the mage. It was not afraid of him because he was a black mage. What a joke! If he was still afraid, he could just kill himself with a Dark Demon who could summon Death Knights behind him!
Pagoda kept waving his sword, not to hurt the mage, but to disrupt his incantation.
At this time, the words I said just now echoed in Tower's mind.'Black magician, you're not easy to fight. I mainly want you to win without paying too much. Don't look for his flaws, let him reveal himself. You just have to disrupt the time he's chanting.”
Because not everyone can cast a spell with a wave of their hand. Even I need to recite it silently.
Gradually, the mage could not hold back anymore. He could tell that the tower did not intend to hurt him, but he kept dodging. How could a mage's stamina compare to a swordsman's?
It wouldn't be long before he ran out of stamina, and those who didn't want to get hurt would get hurt.
The area around the tower became blurry. I hurriedly shouted,"Retreat!"
Tower didn't forget what I said either. I called out to him and he immediately retreated. That mage's magic wasn't that strong either, so he couldn't envelop the entire arena with the fog of slumber. I shouted to Tower,"You can rest outside first.”Then, he laughed.
Meanwhile, Ta Zi was seriously resting.
After a moment, the mage inside seemed to know that the tower wasn't fooled and dispersed the fog. Once the fog disappeared, he glared fiercely at me. I raised my chin slightly and looked at him, as if to say: "What? Bite me!" He looked like he was asking for a beating…
It would be even better if he could help Ta Zi while he was at it.
As soon as Tower saw that the mage's fog had dissipated, he raised his sword and charged forward without a word.
Usually, mages were at a disadvantage against swordsmen. From the fog of slumber just now, I felt that this mage was still not mature enough. I shouted to the tower in the middle of the field,"Raise your battle energy and chop! He still had to dodge the fog! I don't care about anything else."
Xiao Xi didn't hesitate at all when she heard my words, and her fighting spirit instantly rose!
When the tower swung its sword at the mage, the mage gritted his teeth and completed Barren's Bite without dodging.”Tower retreated a few steps. A long gash appeared on the mage's body, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The instructor immediately beeped to indicate the winner's ownership. A few priests rushed over to treat the mage's long wounds.
However, Tower seemed to be fine. After taking a few steps back, he stood firm. It seemed that his Combat Aura was far superior to the Mage's Barren Bite.
"If he didn't complete the Barren Bite, my sword would have split him in half!"”
I squinted at him and joked,"How about this? Try my Barren Bite?"
"Go and try it with the instructor!" Even if I have a few lives, it won't be enough."
The people around them felt a little baffled.
After healing, the mage walked over and said,""You have good eyesight. Without your guidance, this swordsman probably wouldn't have won so easily.”
I nodded in agreement and continued,"My mission is to make it easy for him to win.”
The mage was stunned. After a while, he bowed and left alone.
I looked around and saw that there were fewer people. It seemed that it wouldn't be so easy to meet them later. At this moment, there were less than 200 people left.
The mage just now was not very inexperienced. Those who could use Desolate Bite were at least red badges. It was only because he did not seem to have enough mana, coupled with the mage's weakness, that it created the illusion that the tower was playing him in the palm of his hand. Ta Zi's battle energy was also at full strength!
After the priests checked the tower and confirmed that it was fine, they encountered another headache in the next battle. Their opponent was a warrior.
The lightness of the tower was most afraid of encountering a warrior with such a strong defense. It would make every move fall on the warrior's body like an itch. When the body was weak, it was the moment of victory for the warrior.
Before officially going on stage, my mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of any possibility to push the tower's ranking forward!
Suddenly, I thought of a method. At this moment, Ta Zi happened to walk over. I was about to speak when I heard a woman beside him say to the person beside him,"Look! Again, this swordsman would always ask this red-robed mage.”
I immediately glanced at him. She seemed to see me looking at her and said unwillingly,"What are you looking at?"
I ignored her words and whispered to Ta Zi,"Do you know how to counterattack?"
Tazi shook his head, indicating that he wasn't sure what I was referring to.
Actually, I thought that when a Warrior is strong in both offense and defense, it's impossible for him to take care of both sides at the same time. This means that when he attacks, his defense must be very weak. This is the main point. Attack when he attacks!
This was a huge bet, just like the counter-punch in boxing. If he failed, he would fall to the ground and not get up. If he won, he would have a chance to hit his opponent!
After explaining to Ta Zi, I added,"I won't make a sound this time, in case he finds an opportunity.”
Then, he spread his hands and said playfully,"In any case, there are still a few priests after you fall.”
Ta Zi frowned and his head trembled, not knowing what to say…
That woman seemed to have been near me for some time. I muttered to myself,"He lost so quickly. No wonder he was so talkative.”However, his voice was deliberately loud for the woman to hear.
"Who are you talking about?!" The woman said angrily.？”
"I'll talk to whoever answers," I said leisurely.”I realized that I had become a ruffian again…
"Do you know who she is?" Someone immediately chimed in.”
I shook my head.”
"She's the daughter of the General's manor, not someone you can afford to provoke!"”
I looked at the venue and said,"A daughter should stay at home and play with her pets. She should learn female skills. Why are you competing with others?" No wonder he lost."
I said to myself again,"When a pretty girl comes out, she will lose every time."”
It was the truth! What else could win other than his background?
How can there be such a unreasonable person like me in the world? They didn't meet each other, so they didn't know how to reply to me. Their breaths were hanging there, and their faces were red.
I made a shushing gesture and said,"You guys aren't the main characters. Let me watch the show properly!”
Just as I was talking, the tower had already started fighting. That kid did as I said. If the warrior didn't move, he wouldn't move either. He would lure the other party into attacking and then find an opportunity to attack. However…if there was no opportunity, he would have to dodge his attack…
According to my observations, that fellow was used to slashing and hacking. His center of gravity was in front of him, and there were many opportunities on the two sides of the back. At this moment, I instantly thought of the whispers of the wind. I slapped my forehead and thought,"Is there such a good thing that you don't want to use?”
After telling Ta Zi about it with a whisper of the wind, Ta Zi's expression didn't change at all. I couldn't help but admire his acting talent. After hearing the good news, he could still act as if nothing had happened.
I had just finished using Whisper of the Wind when the Warrior lowered his center of gravity and threw a heavy blow forward!
