As the night went on, the number of pedestrians and tourists on the streets outside gradually became less and less, and the previous noise of cheers and celebrations had long since fallen silent.
"??"
"It's so late..."
"Liana, Hain hasn't come back yet, will something happen?"
Alvin looked outside the inn again, and then he couldn't help but worriedly asked Liana who was sitting there in the living room.
Originally, Alvin was in Karsus City and was seriously injured in the previous demonic attack on Karsus. However, after learning that Liana was reborn after her death and was taken to the floating island. After being rescued by others, he immediately borrowed a griffon from the Karsus Air Corps and flew here, and successfully found Liana, Princess Shirley and the others before dark today.
Of course, in addition to finding Liana, he also learned about everything that happened on the floating island and the results of the competition.
For example: The Legion of Light participating in the competition was almost completely wiped out. Keith, Scott, Hein and Shirley were all eliminated. Instead, the daughter of the great magician Jessica, who sneaked to the Floating City and participated in the competition, entered. The top eight?
Naturally, Jessica's daughter is just what they say to the outside world. People who call themselves the 'Legion of Glory' must know the true identity of the other party, but they tacitly know it and do not know it. I won’t publicize it to the outside world.
"Hain?"
"Didn't he say that he has to wait for tomorrow's duel list?"
"After all, that list is only posted at the arena. Maybe it will take some time to come back, right?"
Liana turned her head and looked at the blue moon and red moon in the sky. Then, seeing that it was indeed getting late, she could only comfort Alvin in this way.
'rest assured! '
"He will be fine, at least not on this floating island."
At this time, Lana on the side said coldly with an expressionless face.
The facts are indeed what she said. Although there are many people on this floating island and they are very mixed, everyone has to admit that:
The security here is really good. No matter what race you belong to, even if you are a demon race that everyone shouts about on the continent of Elsaria, as long as you don't cause trouble or cause trouble here, you will definitely be safe on this island. Absolutely not Even if things like being attacked or besieged happen, the safety of life and property can be well protected. Even if you wander outside in the middle of the night or go to the night market, there will be no problems.
Naturally, except for those who were drunk and made trouble, or for other reasons ran to the edge of the floating island and jumped down. After all, those high elves' lawbreaker guards or the fire demons and fire elements outside the floating island He won't protect the kind of idiot who seeks his own death.
"That's right!"
"Alvin, just relax!"
"We have been here for so many days, and Hain is more familiar with this place than Karsus City. There is no way he will be fine!"
At this time, Shirley on the side also came over to comfort him.
Not long after she came here, Hain and Scott came. Speaking of which, they had stayed here for almost two months and had already visited all the places they could visit. In addition, the other party is a not very weak mage, so nothing will happen to him.
"Is that so?"
"All right……"
"I'm not worried, I just..."
"I just saw that he has been out for so long and hasn't come back yet, so I asked."
Seeing that Liana, Lana and Shirley all said that, Alvin thought for a while, then he had to calm down and said coquettishly.
It's no wonder, he just came here not long ago, he's not familiar with this place and he's still wary of it. And since Liana, Lana and Shirley all said that, it's hard for him to say anything more. .
"You said..."
"female……"
"I mean Jessica's 'daughter', can she win the final game?"
After waiting for a while, looking at Keith and Scott who didn't know what they were talking about in the distance, after thinking about it, Alvin suddenly asked again.
Alvin, who had just arrived today and only knew the results of the top eight in the competition so far, but did not know the specific process or whether the remaining seven players were good, suddenly asked curiously.
"ah?"
"I'm not sure about this..."
As a last resort, Liana looked at her sister.
"What do you see me doing?"
"Like you, I have been cultivating recently and don't have time to pay attention to too many games!"
Lana looked away indifferently.
She only watched some competitions and stuff in the past two days, and she only watched her own people. As for others, she really didn't know much about them.
"Alvin!"
"I know this!"
At this time, Shirley came over.
"Among the remaining players, there are only three or two who are good. As long as you are a little careful, there will definitely be no problem!"
"I promise!"
Shirley said excitedly.
After all, that person is a legendary being. Even if he comes into the young body of the Archmage, it is not something that ordinary people can resist. However, the other party can easily reach the top eight and even defeat her, Shirley. The familiar Tohsaka Rin was defeated easily, which is proof!
Anyway!
Shirley firmly believes that they will win the final victory in the end, and work hard to keep the world as peaceful as it is now, and resolutely prevent this floating island and the terrible Azeroth Empire from barbaric invasion here!
"Yeah?"
"But I'm still a little worried..."
After pondering for a while, Alvin still had some doubts.
Judging from the information he has been exposed to and learned so far, he always feels that things are not that simple.
You know, the Azeroth Empire, that is, this floating island, was so powerful that it could withstand the continuous attacks of the ultimate weapon and finally defeated the arrogant demon clan, and even captured the terrifying god of Chaos alive! Now, although their girl...that Jessica's 'daughter' has chosen to take action herself, that is not absolute.
"ah!"
"Hain is back!"
At this time, before Alvin could say anything else, Shirley, Liana and others all stood up cheering.
It turned out that a blue-haired guy rushed in at the door, and who was that person if it wasn't Hein who had gone out to wait for news earlier?
"Everyone!"
"The order of tomorrow's duel is out!"
Hain waved the piece of paper in his hand and spoke loudly and excitedly before the people who were resting and waiting in the post house spoke.
"What is it?"
"A list?"
"Let me see it quickly!"
Shirley rushed forward immediately, reached out and grabbed the list arrogantly, and then read it by herself.
"ah!"
"Oops!"
"Tomorrow's opponent is actually that Solanlian?!"
Immediately afterwards, she exclaimed for the first time.
"What?"
"Solanlian? The guy who summoned monsters?"
"No way?"
"!!"
"This is bad..."
Hearing Shirley's exclamation, Liana, Lana, Keith and Scott gathered around them, and all exclaimed after the final decision.
"??"
"Who is Solanlian?"
"Is she great?"
Alvin, who just arrived today and didn't go to the game, obviously didn't know who Solanlian was, so he naturally didn't know the real reason for everyone's exclamation.
"I don't know if it's powerful or not, but it's just that it's difficult."
"This is really troublesome!"
Shirley took down the piece of paper, then sat on the sofa, folded her arms and frowned, thinking, as if she wanted to figure out a way to defeat the enemy.
"It's really awesome!"
"That guy's summoning magic is very tricky!"
"Today, during the game, she summoned an entire Void Legion in the arena, and she almost drowned the chief of an orc tribe in the Azeroth Empire in an instant."
At this time, Keith, the commander of Karthus' air force, spoke up and explained to Alvin.
Then, when he came forward and saw the list clearly, he, like Shirley, shook his head and sat aside thoughtfully, folding his arms and stopped talking.
"A legion?"
"No way?"
"How is it fair to compete like that?"
He actually had to challenge an army by himself. For that kind of thing, Alvin felt that if it were him, even giving them two holy swords would be useless!
It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, let alone countless hands. Therefore, if it were him, he would lose anyway!
"Where is the fairness?"
"well……"
"Alvin, you probably don't know yet, right?"
"In my first game, I met an unreasonable wizard. He didn't want to play magic with me, and he killed me with one shot while I wasn't paying attention. I didn't even have time to open the shield at that time... …”
Not to mention it was okay, but when it came to fairness or something, Hain sat aside with a sad face.
He still remembered that before the game, he was full of confidence, but as soon as he came on the field, he met an unreasonable wizard of the same age. At the beginning of the game, when everyone had just lifted the magic ban and had no time to cast spells, It makes no sense to beat him to death with an ordinary weapon called a "firearm"!
"hateful!"
"The six angels probably can't defeat those blue monsters, right?"
"What should I do now?"
"Is it possible that we can only find other ways to defeat her directly before she calls?"
Liana also began to worry.
No matter how she calculated, she didn't think that six angels could deal with that group of monsters that could fight at close range and attack from a distance, and were also very durable. It was said that they were called 'Void Walkers', so she started racking her brains to think about it, and Plan to make plans for this.
"it's useless!"
"That person summoned very quickly. The other party opened the portal and ignored it. I don't think I can defeat the other party in such a short time!"
"That's hard!"
Lana was not optimistic about her sister Liana's boring plan. Anyway, if it were her, she wouldn't have any good ideas.
"Isn't that the end?"
"I think we should go to those people to protest. Solanlian is obviously committing a foul. How could she summon so many monsters like that?"
"no!"
"I need to find someone to talk to someone about it!"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was unfair. She slammed the table and stood up. Then she planned to go to the palace to find a friend who she could talk to and see if anything could be changed.
"No need!"
"Alvin, stop her!"
At this time, a voice sounded at the top of the stairs, and then, a young female magician wearing a high elf-style red robe and long black hair walked down gracefully, twisting her waist.
"!!"
"Great magician?"
After seeing Jessica arriving and being pulled by Alvin, Shirley had no choice but to stop.
"teacher!"
"ah!"
"Lady Jessica..."
"Your Majesty the Archmage!"
Seeing that the person coming was the great magician Jessica, Hein, Keith, Scott, Liana and her twin sister Lana, who were resting and chatting in the lobby of the inn, stood up one after another.
"Okay, everyone, please sit down first."
"besides!"
"Alvin, you too."
Jessica didn't say much, she just nodded to everyone, then signaled Alvin to let go of Shirley, and then asked everyone to sit down, without showing any restraint.
"Tomorrow's opponent is that Solanlian?"
"It's really surprising..."
"But that's not the biggest problem we have to face now."
After walking to the table, picking up the list and taking a look at it, Jessica sighed and put it down, obviously not thinking about it.
"??"
"Great Magician, is there something wrong?"
Shirley saw Jessica's face, and after noticing her frown, she asked with some anxiety.
"There is one thing, I hope everyone is prepared!"
However, Jessica did not explain directly, but paused, as if preparing some words, and then slowly spoke.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone did not dare to interrupt, and after seeing each other's faces, they stood up straight, waiting for the legendary magician's instructions.
"Just now..."
"The Divine Realm is occupied by the army and mages of the Azeroth Empire."
"Even the goddess's divine body has been captured and sealed. I'm afraid she won't be able to exert more power in the next game."
Jessica said sadly, and this was what she wanted to say to these people when she came down from upstairs.
"!!"
"What?!"
"this!!"
"The divine realm has been breached? How could it happen?"
"ah!"
The next second, of course, everyone who heard the shocking news stood up in shock and looked at Jessica in disbelief.
"not good!"
"This must be a trap!"
"quick!"
"Ms. Jessica, bring the goddess down quickly, we will protect you and fight out!!"
Soon, while everyone was still shocked and digesting, Alvin was the first to react, and immediately found his weapon and urged anxiously.
Others did not dare to neglect after hearing Alvin's words and seeing his actions, not to mention being shocked by the unbelievable thing Jessica just said, and immediately prepared to get their own Weapons and armor.
"No!"
However, Jessica rejected Alvin's kindness and stopped the others.
"We're not leaving!"
"The game will continue!"
"Now, that's really our only chance..."
But Jessica spoke calmly, with a look of loneliness and bitterness on her face.
"But!"
"They have captured God's Domain, why don't they leave?"
Alvin was stunned for a moment, and then asked loudly in confusion.
The Divine Realm is where the goddess Lucillis lives, and now, the people on this floating island are so crazy that they dare to attack the Divine Realm, and they even captured and sealed the goddess's divine body without warning. The other party has done that. , How can he stay here?
"Yes!"
"We're not leaving!"
Facing Alvin and the bewildered Heine, Keith, Scott and others around her, Jessica nodded with determination.
"actually……"
"I just discussed it with the goddess."
"We all think that the reason why they attacked God's Domain is because they saw through the goddess's disguise?"
"But fortunately they have no intention of breaking the rules and taking action against us, and the reason why they do that is just to restrict us."
"in order……"
"Maybe it's to prevent the goddess from having endless magic power during the game?"
As she spoke, Jessica shook her head as if laughing at herself.
Sure enough, their ideas were still too naive. Queen Azshara must have seen through them. However, although the other party would not attack them directly due to the rules, they immediately sent out a powerful force to capture the divine domain. On the one hand, it has the meaning of demonstration, but on the other hand, it is undoubtedly to completely cut off the source of the goddess's endless magic power!
Perhaps, the other party has already determined that in this case, it is absolutely impossible for their glorious camp to win the final victory?
"ah?"
"But, then we just do nothing?"
Alvin was anxious.
If the goddess loses her divine body and no longer possesses endless magic power, then even he who is not a mage can imagine what will happen during the game!
Now that there is no hope of victory, they are still here. God knows what those people will do to them after the game is over. Moreover, if the other party does not stop and directly sends people to capture the goddess, they can It’s all over!
Anyway, this kind of feeling of "people are fighting for each other" is very bad. In Alvin's opinion, everyone should at least leave here first. As for what to do after leaving, that is something to consider later?
"That's why I came down!"
"Liana!"
"And Lana!"
Jessica didn't explain, but turned to look at Liana, who was looking frightened, and Lana, who was frowning and didn't know what she was thinking.
"You are all 'Mikos of Light', and the competition is about to end in the last three days, so..."
"In these three days, you will be responsible for supplying magic power to the goddess. No matter what, you must hold on until the end of the game!"
"We must win!"
At this point, Jessica was a little helpless about the Azeroth Empire's raid and the brazen attack on the God's Domain, other than breaking her teeth and swallowing it in her belly.
After all, the goddess's immediate exit was always a bit opportunistic or suspected of cheating. But now, the other party only counterattacked after finding out but did not trouble them again, which is enough to explain some problems.
Therefore, she planned to continue the competition within the opponent's rules and win the final victory, so that the opponent would have nothing to say!
By then, even if they still can't stop each other from coming into this world, at least they can negotiate and get back some of their things?
"yes!"
"Lady Jessica, don't worry, I understand!"
"me too!"
"Teacher Jessica, I will definitely do my best!"
Although they didn't know what they wanted the two sisters to do, or how to do it, Liana and Lana still walked out together and promised loudly.
"!!"
"Shirley?"
"Where are you going again?"
However, at this time, before Jessica had time to say anything, she saw Shirley angrily break away and walk out without Alvin paying attention, and then Hain naturally asked worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about it!"
After saying that, Shirley slammed the door angrily and left, not knowing what she was going to do.
"Shirley?"
"Wait for me!!"
Hain was about to chase him out, but was stopped by Jessica's hand.
"Let her be."
"It just so happens that there are some things that she needs to confirm?"
After shaking her head at Hain, who looked surprised, Jessica, who frowned, slowly spoke and said this.
"ah?"
Hain was a little at a loss. He didn't know why his teacher Jessica said that, and he didn't know what he wanted Shirley to confirm⌒) Remember the monthly ticket~♡
