The villa sits quietly in the night, with the cold moonlight shining on the courtyard wall, outlining its simple outline.
In the owner's simple bedroom, there was a messy bed shaking sound.
After the sound died down, Luo Gesi rested his head on the pillow and spread his eyes blankly on the bed. He stared blankly at the gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and allowed Alina to make various movements on him.
Human nature is difficult to change. For example, Logos doesn't like to lose in debates without enough benefit.
As usual, he won, but also lost, when he argued with Alina about ways to improve the Möbius strip magic technique.
Rogers felt that he had carefully considered his words, and there was nothing in them that could really offend Alina.
But maybe it's because Alice is coming tomorrow, or maybe Alina noticed that he was about to lay the foundation stone.
Or maybe this unreasonable guy has always wanted to do this, but he has always been cautious since the groundbreaking ceremony, and it was only now that the other party found an excuse.
But no matter what, he was already being straddled by Alina and pinned down on the bed, suffering the dull pain from his neck miserably.
shame! What a shame! We can never go on like this again! You must get the power that will be returned a hundred times!
Luo Gesi slowly closed his eyes, searching in his mind for various possibilities that could enhance his physique.
In addition to conventional enchanting and drug-taking explosives, you have to find a method that doesn't cost too much and can be effective at any time.
The believers of the Pain Walkers seem to have a special ability. They can accumulate pain, and then when necessary, they can explode with physical functions far beyond their previous capabilities.
Unlike joking artists who forcibly unlock the body restraints and will immediately experience huge backlash, the price paid by the followers of Pain Walkers has been paid in daily practice.
But Rogers did not have any masochistic tendencies, and was very resistant to such outrageous things as whipping himself for nothing.
However, as a scammer, there should be the possibility of bargaining.
Moreover, in addition to pain, torture, and clarity, the realm of the pain practitioner is also incomplete.
He thought that if it was a false disability, such as feeling mentally unable to stand and walk without a cane, and could only return to normal when he chose to stop accumulating strength, then it should be considered...
If the hypothesis is established, the next thing needed is to think about how to sacrifice and trade.
"What are you thinking? Why don't you wake up and resist? It's so boring..."
Alina stood up slowly, gently swiping her slightly moist lips with her thumb, and the small tiger teeth in her mouth were looming with the movement.
Rogers opened his eyes and felt the tickling caused by the falling snow-white hair on his face. He wanted to say something cruel, but in order to avoid more ravage, he finally chose to shut up silently.
Power, he longed for power more and more.
Seeing this, Alina pinched Logos's cheek gently, her face showing that she was satisfied after the incident. She stretched out her hand and smoothed the loose nightgown on her body, turned over and lay aside, with her head resting on Logos' arm.
"If you want to agree to the riding fight, you have to start early. Otherwise, if you delay it for a few more days, the royal family may send someone here. If they want to watch the battle, a lot of unnecessary trouble may arise."
She adjusted the pillow position slightly to make herself more comfortable, and then said softly.
"The royal family? Didn't you learn enough from the last time you tried to judge me?" Luo Gesi frowned slightly when he heard this and said.
"No matter how slow they are, they can still notice the impact of your sunset speech. Maybe they came here for this reason." Alina slowly closed her eyes, as if she was ready to fall asleep.
"Understood." Luo Gesi responded with a yawn. After using his magic power to extinguish the crystal lamp with a snap of his fingers, he held it behind his head and slowly fell asleep amid his chaotic thoughts.
…
The next day, the sun had just risen, and the faint morning light filtered through the mist, giving people a hazy feeling.
After Luogesi finished his breakfast, he opened the magic book and sketched a few sentences on the pages, trying to contact the bottomless pit.
【inform! The Pain Walker generously acknowledges your idea, but He needs a sacrifice of sufficient scale before he can contact the present world with enough blessings. 】
Logos was not too surprised by this. After all, the daily blessings given to him by the gods of the Abyss would dissipate quickly and could not last for a long time. The only high-ranking privileges obtained from honest merchants were sacrifices. Kevin, a very important person, was chosen as the main course.
As for the miracle of kingship, it was only possible through the combined efforts of the gods and a large-scale sacrificial ceremony.
In addition to the pain walkers, there were several gods who took the initiative to provide various methods to enhance their physical fitness, but the costs were higher and more unacceptable, which made him ignore them the moment he saw them.
On the same day, Alice came to the territory of Logos, followed by Earl Braid and Earl Devin, and after that, many nobles with interests in the Green Valley also came one after another.
They were all fighting for the horse fight between Luo Gesi and Arkan. No one thought that Luo Gesi could win, but losing to the young patriarch of the tribe on horseback in a riding duel was not a shameful thing.
Logos's willingness to fight was enough for many lords to praise Earl Breed for his heir's bravery.
In the two days after Alice arrived, Rogers never had a good night's sleep again, just because of the endless arguments and bickering between Alina and Alice.
The white clouds wandering in the sky indicate the irreversible passage of time.
When the day of the riding battle arrived, the sun shone brightly on a vast green grassland.
Rogers stood in the center of a temporary wooden platform. He was still wearing a half-sleeved white shirt and black knee-length shorts, listening to the instructions given to him by Earl Breed and many "uncles" in decent attire in front of him. .
As a nobleman, he had learned equestrian skills since he was a child, but because he had not experienced any knight training, and because of his previously undisciplined temperament, this so-called equestrian skill was just about being able to ride.
"Just do your best." Earl Breed touched Rogers's shoulder, and then looked at Alice and Alina, who were standing beside his son, wearing a robe-like brown top and black breeches:
"Both of you, too. Safety is the most important thing. You just need to put some magic spells on the outside to interfere. If you feel the situation is critical, just dismount and quit the race."
He didn't understand the reason why the two girls joined the cavalry fight. After all, no matter how fast the magician cast spells, it was unlikely that he could withstand several cavalry charges.
But after all, it was just a capture-the-flag battle with no intention of winning. He just regarded it as a child's play and did not dissuade him.
"I will keep it in mind." Rogers nodded obediently and looked back at the scene of nearly a hundred cavalrymen lined up under the wooden platform with their lances tilted.
To be honest, he was shocked when he first saw it. Looking at it now, he still thought it was very spectacular.
It was only now that he had a clear concept and real feeling of "Hundred Cavalry".
The knights of the Breed family wear strong and neat armor, which reflects the light of the metal due to the sunlight. The feathers on their helmets sway in the wind, and the various war horses under their crotches are tall and strong.
There were only nearly a hundred people, and when they lined up and crowded together, they gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
It's a pity that Arkan did not agree to the request of 666 cavalry. Otherwise, Luo Gesi would like to see the scene when thousands of cavalry collide, which will definitely be more spectacular and exciting.
"Go ahead."
Earl Breed patted Logos on the shoulder, and many of the lords beside him also encouraged the three of them.
"The Saint represents the Breed family in a riding battle with the Eastern Territory. The royal family will probably be even more uneasy after hearing the news."
Earl Devin looked at the three people leaving and spoke to Earl Braid beside him in an inexplicable tone.
"Now that things have happened, this level of excitement has long been dispensable."
Earl Breed shook his head and sighed, then sat on the wooden chair behind him, picked up the tea that the attendants had placed on the wooden table next to the chair, and began to sip it.
Many lords who came to watch the battle also took their seats, waiting for the start of the battle under the service of their attendants.
…
Rogers was riding a black horse. He held the reins and stepped on the stirrups. He walked out of the team and drove the horse slowly towards the center of the field. He met Alkan on the opposite side before the duel.
The buttocks are a bit stiff, the horse's body is a bit wobbly, the sun is a bit too hot, and the reins are a bit rough.
That was all he felt at the moment.
What was different from him was that Alice and Alina, who were both wearing ponytails behind him, looked calm.
"Logos Braid! What have you done to the goddess?! And the food provided by the people you lead, have you also tampered with it?!"
Arkan, wearing a taupe short-sleeved top, rode alone to the opposite side of Logos, and opened his mouth to scold him with a stern expression.
His face looked sallow, as if he was dehydrated and malnourished.
Rogers did not reply immediately, but carefully looked at Alkan's expression. Slowly, he raised his chin, raised the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out an evil and maniacal smile:
"Are you so anxious because you like her? If you win, I will tell you in detail."
Arkan's eyes widened when he heard this. His hands holding the reins were clenched, and his knuckles highlighted the concentration of strength. His blood also boiled, filling his arms with sprouting veins.
"What, do you want to liberate the power of the Silver Rank to fight me? I am the son of the noble Earl, the Baron of Morotan.
"Come, fight here. As long as you fight once, I guarantee that your tribe will see what real fear is tomorrow."
Rogers held the rope with one hand and touched his cheek with the other. He leaned forward in the direction of Alkan, pretending to be proud of asking the other party to come and fight quickly.
The reason why the Eastern Territory has not really taken action against the Santan tribe is simply because the lords are constantly arguing and are not willing to contribute first, and the Santan tribe has not really moved into the Green Valley yet.
After all, war is not only a continuation of politics, but also the final resort when conflicts become irreversible.
If the Eastern Territory can unite and not care about the resources, troops and other expenses, it won't take long to sweep the Santan tribe.
Even the Braid Territory has the ability to deal a fatal blow to the Santan tribe. This is physical suppression.
The only thing that needs to be considered is that it may cause too much loss and affect the development of the territory.
Therefore, as long as Arkan's mind is not confused to a certain extent, he must not take action against Logos before the start of the game due to personal grudges, under the noses of many Eastern lords.
After all, apart from profit, what noble gentlemen value most is dignity and honor.
"You will pay the due price for those few words you just said."
Arkan raised his head to the sky, and the dazzling sunlight made him close his eyes. After several deep breaths, he opened his eyes and gritted his teeth and said this to Luo Gesi, and then drove his horse back to his team.
Pain seekers enjoy not only physical pain, but also psychological pain.
Luo Gesi touched his chin, looked at Alkan's figure with a smile, and began to think continuously in his heart.
"What goddess? What did you do to her?" Alice asked behind him, frowning.
"We just chatted for a few words. That guy probably has some special hobbies and imagined random things." Rogers shrugged slightly and drove back to his team to prepare for the game.
Alice glanced at Alina in silence and said nothing more. She understood that with the other party's presence, nothing more could happen.
The requirement for the traditional riding fighting of the Santan people is to first find an open space, and then plant three eagle flags around the open space.
Winner is a player who can completely capture three flags, or obtain two flags before the time limit expires, or capture the enemy leader.
As a leader, in addition to smoothly allocating and commanding the cavalry under his command, he also has to consider whether to capture the flag first or charge directly to the opponent after the game starts.
For a galloping cavalry team, turning around together is an extremely complicated and time-consuming matter. If they encounter a charge in this situation and fail to respond well, they will lose more than half of their chances of winning.
However, after the entire charge, if the opponent divides their forces at the beginning and tries to capture the flag quickly, they are likely to fail quickly.
There are too many considerations like this, and everything depends on the commander's decision-making.
Therefore, even if the Logos family's cavalry equipment is superior to the opponent's, it may not be able to lead him, a useless commander, to victory.
"This... Young Master, is it really okay?"
After hearing Rogers' instructions, the cavalry captain's eyes showed confusion under his helmet, and he confirmed again and again in a hesitant tone.
"No problem." Rogers confirmed immediately.
"Follow your will!" The cavalry captain clenched his iron gloves and beat his chest. After responding loudly, he drove his horse through the team and gave instructions.
The powerful horn sound suddenly resounded on the grass, and the cavalry of the Rogers family also divided into two groups and galloped towards the two large flags stuck in the ground in the distance.
The ground shook due to the stamping of the horses' hooves, making a low rumble, like the beat of drums.
Rogoth turned his horse's head, first looking at Arkan who was leading a large group of cavalry in leather armor to rush towards him, then he looked at each other with Alice and Alina, pulled out the whip tied to his leg, and rode the horse. Rush straight towards the opponent.
The nobles who were sitting on the high platform watching the battle looked at the three cavalrymen who were charging towards the large group of cavalry. They all opened their eyes wide. Earl Devin couldn't help but stand up and whispered:
"What do they want to do?"
[Alice has launched the Enlightenment Bonus on you, and you will receive many bonus bonuses. 】
[When the sky is clear, your strength will be doubled, and doubled again when the sun is shining. 】
[Your attacks will be guaranteed to hit, knock back, grant real damage, combo bonus, armor breaking bonus...]
[Your recovery and precise control of magic power will be greatly improved. 】
[You will gain a premonition of crisis and receive a substantial agility boost before being attacked. 】
[You can dissolve or disrupt the magic flow within ten meters. 】
【……】
Luo Gesi's silver hair was flying in the wind, prompt boxes kept popping up in front of his eyes, and seemingly endless strength kept pouring out of his body.
This was one of the reasons why he wanted Alice to receive the enlightenment bonus early.
The advancing wind hit his face, causing him to narrow his eyes.
"Hahahaha! Idiot! I didn't expect there to be such an idiot! Are you bringing two women here to die?!"
Alkan looked at the unarmed Rogers, who was galloping towards him on horseback, with a wild and joyful smile on his face.
The world has been praising the wisdom of Rogers Braid, but he never imagined that he was so stupid now.
The magician didn't want to keep distance, but actually dared to rush towards him and his cavalry.
Although most of his elite soldiers were unable to compete in the past few days due to vomiting and diarrhea, he had to call in ordinary tribal cavalry not far from the valley to supplement the number.
Originally, he was still a little worried about this, but now, he was thinking about how to keep Luo Gesi alive under the trampling of horse hooves.
