Chapter 165 Martial Arts Tournament (2)
In the third game of the competition, it was Suda's turn to send someone first again.
When one of the water dancers was dead and the other was unconscious due to poisoning, Suda sent Ander Poole directly to ensure that the battle could be won, regardless of his objections. Battle platform.
Ander Poole wore a set of silver-white full-body plate armor, and a closed helmet with a gorget connected to the shoulder armor. There were chain armor at the joints of each joint to supplement defense, and a belt was added to his waist. The knee-length blade skirt effectively protects the crotch.
His weapons are a page hammer and a half-sword. It seems that he plans to decide which one to use after confirming his opponent.
Hazan's original intention was still not to change players and let Yada play the third game. After all, Yada didn't seem to have expended much energy in the second game, and his Valyrian steel sword was completely useless against Ander Poole. Armor also has a restraining effect.
But Ian refused Hazan and asked to let Yada take a break.
Although in theory Yada, the water dancer master who possesses the Valyrian steel sword, is not afraid of Ander Poole, but since Ander Poole has the confidence to personally participate in this kind of fatal competition, Ian does not intend to do it from the beginning. Let your own people confront him head-on.
Let the people of Hazan bear any losses.
Seeing Ian's insistence, Hazan stopped talking. This was his game, and it was really unjustifiable for a foreign player to play three games in a row.
So in this scene, Hazan sent out the mercenary king Bali from the Summer Islands, a short black man who used a hand axe. It is said that in his tribe, people as short as him are not common, but everyone who laughed at him All tall people, without exception, were sent to meet death by him.
The two sides still started to salute each other according to the established procedure, but Ian did not continue to stay in the stands to watch the game. Instead, he temporarily excused himself from Hazan, left the Prince's Square, and walked around to the garden behind the front hall.
Because there, his cat gave him feedback.
Passing through the white marble arch entwined with smokeberry vines, Ian came to the side of a lavender field.
Celia and Rohr were already waiting there, and the two NPC knights under him were pressing a person against the stone tiles of the flower bed.
"Ian Darry?" Belz Poole, whose face was covered in blood, raised his head and looked at Ian who was walking in front of him. "You are indeed a player too. Where's Darren? Didn't he come with you?"
The moment he saw Ian appear, Belz finally understood that he had let the player get caught.
But what he couldn't figure out was that it was the captain of the bodyguard of Governor Tetrus who just called him, saying that the governor had something to say, but the other party actually turned around and handed him over to this man in red robe who often appeared next to Hazan. female.
What's this?
"Are you surprised? What? Do you think you will not be punished for your mission to the Neptune Palace in Braavos and convincing Neptune to instigate two water dancers to rebel against two water dancers and almost kill Prince Hazan?" Ian smiled and took the gift. The small bottle handed over by Liya.
"Hazan? The person who brought me here was the captain of the bodyguard of Governor Tetrus. Could it be that you even bribed him?" Belz looked at the small bottle in Ian's hand, had a premonition in his heart, and began to try to break away from the two. The suppression of a knight.
"Buy? No, Governor Tetrus has been our friend from the beginning." Ian greeted Belz's head with an iron-gloved hand, making him calm down instantly, "Celia is just I mentioned to him that Prince Hazan was dissatisfied with you, and he immediately agreed to hand you over."
"How is it possible? Hey! Wait, don't," Belz kicked his legs and tried to step back to keep himself away from the increasingly approaching vial in Ian's hand. "Where's Darren?" he shouted loudly, "I want to Meet Daeron, why didn’t Daeron come? Do you want to keep the profits from killing me?”
Before Ian could react, Celia laughed first. This guy actually still believes that Darren is the boss of this player alliance.
"What? Do you think you can still struggle? Well, I'll give you three minutes to prove your worth to me." Ian temporarily stopped what he was doing, "Tell me, give me a way to keep you alive." Reason to go down.”
This has almost become Ian's specialty. He can no longer remember how many players he has said this to.
It is a pity that everyone who heard this sentence did not survive. The only survivor, Ian, couldn't help but glance at Celia next to him, but she had not heard this sentence.
By the time you get caught, it's too late to prove your worth.
"Let me go, I will serve you. I will give you all the resources I will get from now on, including points. When victory is finally declared, you only need to choose not to agree, and the alliance will be automatically broken. , and then you can enjoy all the bonuses to yourself," Belz said quickly, "You don't need to give me any money afterwards, I don't want any."
"However, after we signed the alliance, I can't force you to provide me with any resources. That would be considered a backstab, and if you really gave me all the resources, wouldn't the alliance mechanism have no restrictions on you? Are you strong?" Ian shook his head, "This reason is not enough."
not enough? It’s not enough for me to work for you for free, so what do you need? Belz couldn't think of a better way to say it.
"Then let's change the question and tell me the specific strength of Ander Poole."
"This... are you sure you want to know? As soon as I tell him, he will know that he was stabbed in the back by his ally."
"In Prince's Square, no acting warrior can escape from the battlefield. Whether he knows it or not, it doesn't make any difference... But you are right," Ian opened Belz's mouth and poured the medicine in, "If you If you are judged by the system as a backstab, I won’t get your deducted points.”
Within a few seconds, Belz twitched and fell to the ground. The last light in his eyes asked, "What about the three minutes you agreed to give me?" ’
And the prompt tone of the auxiliary system also came from Ian's mind.
To be honest, Ian is still a little tempted by Belz's proposal to work for free, but unfortunately his current shapeshifter is only at the intermediate level, and he can only control two bodies at the same time - the main body and the cat monitoring Celia. There are more bodies to monitor Belz.
And if the player's allies cannot be controlled within his field of vision at all times, Ian will not want any allies. This has nothing to do with trust or not. What he wants is to kill all possible risks.
"Speaking of which," Celia stood behind Ian and said, "The proposal he just made seems very good. When our points add up to ten thousand in the end, I can give all the points to you, and then let the alliance It will be broken automatically. You will win alone. We will split the money after returning to the original world." At this point, Celia paused and forced a smile, "You didn't want to keep it all to yourself, right?"
"If I am the final winner, then of course I can accept it, as long as you are willing to believe me," Ian raised his eyebrows, "As for the issue of dividing the money, I can promise you that I will give you half. If We will not have new allies in the future. However, will you believe my promise? Since I came to this world, I have been living in lies every day. Even I don’t know which words in my mouth are the truth. ."
"I don't believe it," Celia smiled and shook her head frankly, "Just like you will never believe me, but I can tell you the truth. The real truth is that I will not seek death and never will. .”
Unless you are absolutely sure to kill me, you will never betray me. Ian translated her words in his mind, and then smiled: "Then I will never give you a chance to die."
"Okay, get rid of the body," Ian turned around and set foot on the road back to Prince's Square, waving to Celia, "then continue working, today will be an extremely long day."
