"Lorent" Royal City.
Located in the deepest part of the entire royal capital, is the royal city built on a hill. You can see from a distance a city wall connected by more than twenty round towers.
Isolating the people of the royal capital from the royal city, coupled with the height of the hill, gave the entire royal city a sense of superiority over everyone else.
On the west side of the hill where the royal city was built, there is a huge arena. The "Imperial Trials" over the years have also started in this arena.
This kind of competition is not only a grand event, but also a part of the way for the Kingdom of Li Yestije to show its military power to outsiders.
Wow!
Wow!
With the noisy crowd.
Tang Zheng came to the arena with some heartache and sat down at the outermost seat.
He looked towards the huge ring located in the center of the arena. From his position, he could only see the figures on the ring.
Just such a location cost him 5 silver coins!
"It's really a money-making business."
Tang Zheng glanced at the densely packed heads of people sitting around him and sighed inwardly.
As a witness to historical events, it can indeed satisfy some of the curiosity.
but!
If he had known that the price was so expensive, he would not have come. After all, he already knew the result.
Tang Zheng thought helplessly.
The warrior captain and the nail clipper haven't appeared yet, but there are several figures on the ring below, as if they are doing inspection work.
The position located directly north of the arena is the only round tower-like stand in the entire arena that is a large block higher than other positions.
No need to guess.
There should be a viewing platform specially provided for the nobles and royal family of the kingdom.
Compared to the almost lively atmosphere in other areas, the location where the round tower stands is a bit too quiet.
So much so that this situation gradually affected other areas, just like pouring cold water on this fiery atmosphere.
Even the voices of discussions around him gradually became much quieter.
Tang Zheng reached out and tugged on the collar of his burlap clothes, shrugged his shoulders in boredom, and watched the scene calmly.
Others may not know the reason for this slightly weird atmosphere, but he knows something.
This level of competition is ostensibly to find powerful warriors for the country and to promote the country's strength.
But actually!
From the very beginning, the "Imperial Trial" has been a stage for the nobles to show off their subordinates and demonstrate their military power.
All civilian participants are just stepping stones for these noble adults. This involves the aristocratic system of the kingdom itself! Except for the eldest son of the major nobles, the other second sons cannot inherit the title. This extends to another title in the aristocratic system, "Knight"! This title has no fiefdom and is limited to the noble class of one generation, but it is still the goal that the second sons of the nobles strive to obtain. This is not only for the noble status, but also because once you obtain the title of "knight", the royal family will pay a high salary, and you basically don't need to worry about life. certainly. This is also the strategy of the royal family, allowing the descendants of these nobles to form a new generation of "royal supporters"! This is why the "imperial trial match" exists, and it can be regarded as an aboveboard strategy. Therefore, outstanding noble children who stand out in the competition will be awarded the title of "Knight". However, starting a few years ago, participating noble members or subordinates were gradually defeated by some civilian adventurers, which caused dissatisfaction among the nobles. And now! The appearance of Gazef and Brian pushed them all the way straight to this place. Let the "Imperial Trial Combination" become a stage for a duel between two civilians! "Ha." A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face. He could now fully imagine that the faces of those nobles would definitely not look good at this moment. After Gazef's victory, he actually deserved to receive the title of "Knight", and as a result, the position of "Warrior Commander" was re-drawn. It was against this background that it emerged. The reason why this duel is known as the "Legendary Battle" among civilians is because the "Imperial Trial Match" was canceled after this competition. Apparently no noble wanted a second warrior chief to appear. but. This has nothing to do with Tang Zheng. Compared with the big tomb in the future, these things are just small troubles after all. No matter how dissatisfied the nobles are, this competition can neither be stopped nor ended! About 10 minutes passed. Tang Zheng's expression became serious, his eyes became serious, and he looked at the future warrior captain and the nail clipper who were walking towards the ring at the same time. After the two entered the ring, they shook each other's hands and seemed to say something. only. From the audience seat where Tang Zheng was currently sitting, he could only clearly see the figures of the two of them, so naturally the conversation between them could not be heard. soon! The two separated again, turned around and distanced themselves from each other, and then stood face to face. At this moment! The noisy voices in the entire auditorium all disappeared, and everyone looked closely at the two people on the ring, for fear of disturbing the duel between the two. Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost the next moment.
Gazef and Brian moved at the same time. There was obviously a distance of about twenty meters between the two sides, but after just a brief charge, the two of them had already collided with each other.
when!
when!
when!
The two sword-shaped weapons collided instantly, causing fierce sparks to burst out.
"So fast."
Tang Zheng's eyes were filled with astonishment, and he could barely capture the figures of the two of them. Especially the swords wielded by the two men were not clearly visible at all.
All you could see were sparks appearing one after another around the two of them.
Tang Zheng tilted his neck back.
They are simply not the same kind of creatures as ordinary people!
The strength shown when the two sides collide is something you can't feel at all when watching anime.
Seeing a battle of this level with his own eyes, Tang Zheng truly realized the unbridgeable gap between ordinary people and these powerful men!
Is this only around level 20?
Inexplicably, Tang Zheng suddenly felt the despair that Nail Clipper felt when he faced Shalltear.
The title "nail clipper" is not a derogatory connotation!
Whoosh -
On the ring, Brian's body suddenly flashed with a light blue light.
The next moment!
As if teleporting, Brian appeared behind Gazef.
but!
Gazef seemed to have expected it. He rolled his body and closed the distance again.
"Is this martial arts?" Tang Zheng's eyes widened a bit.
"Martial Arts" is a technique that is not found in the "YGGDRASIL" game and is unique to other worlds. It can be understood as a warrior's magic.
When using it, you need to consume something called "concentration." Simply put, it is mental concentration. The more you use martial arts, the more fatigue you will have on your brain.
It is a value that does not exist in the game, but it is closer to reality.
Whether in the anime or in the Bunko version of the novel, the power embodied by "martial arts" is actually not weak.
It's just that the level restrictions of humans make martial arts not seem so strong.
Suddenly -
Buzz!
The attribute panel appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
"The skill "Water Acceleration" was discovered, which requires a basic warrior occupation. The current conditions are not met..." "
The "genius" occupation is activated, has been successfully transformed, and meets the learning conditions. Do you want to spend 1 skill point to learn it?" "
When Tang Zheng saw the information that appeared on the attribute panel, his eyes showed surprise and surprise, and he murmured to himself: "So this is how skill points are used!"
