Under the pretext of visiting, the city lord Kraut and Lord Wally used the matter of the candidate for the Bright Knight to join forces in front of Elisa, which Sorendon did not expect in advance. It's like the superior leader came to inspect the work, and the people below finally prepared all the inspection items that need to be dealt with, but suddenly a guy stopped the car in public and complained. How uncomfortable is this feeling.
In fact, Soranton had already reached an agreement with Kraut and Wali on the matter of the candidates beforehand, and now the two suddenly changed their faces, giving Soranton a blow that was caught off guard. What made the priest even more shocked and angry was that Tenishi, the captain of the Bright Knights, who he trusted the most, bit back at the most critical moment, preventing him from stepping down.
Tenisiu was single-handedly brought together by Sorenton using the connections behind him. For more than ten years, the two have cooperated tacitly to manage the church in Garton City in an orderly manner. At least there have been no major disturbances, and their "political achievements" are quite good.
A few days ago, Soranton even came to Tenishi to do ideological work on the issue of this quota. At that time, when Tenishi heard that it was related to the overall situation, he immediately patted his chest and agreed, saying that he asked his disciple Rodin to voluntarily give up the candidate spot. Instead, Soranton felt apologetic and promised a lot of benefits. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment today, Soranton suddenly appeared and stabbed him from behind, a fatal stab!
Seeing the cold smile on Tenishi's upright face, Sorendon suddenly came to his senses. The central figure in this incident was not Fatty Santo or Lord Wally, but Tenishi!
—Why did Lord Kraut and Lord Wali know the exact time when Eliza came and came to visit quickly? Why do you change your face and shake things about the candidates at the same time? This is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time!
Even if there is no excuse for being a candidate, there will be other incidents, the purpose of which is to discredit the Garton City Church in front of Elisa (that is, in front of Cardinal Rogge-sama)! Discredit him, the person in charge, Sorendon!
If it is normal, this kind of dispute over candidates is just a trivial matter, but there will be an important change in the church's internal personnel. At this sensitive moment, any details may affect the results of future reshuffles.
Whether it is Sorendon or the rebellious Tenishi, they are just small pawns in the hands of the big men, including this conspiracy, which is also a manipulated game. However, for chess pieces, failure means being abandoned, so never back down!
Tenishi has already started to add salt to the knife he stabbed: "The knight of light is synonymous with justice and strictness. I have been adhering to this creed since I swore an oath in front of the statue of the god of light. Justice has been violated, and I cannot remain silent despite being threatened by the powerful."
Elisa never expected that there would be a scene when she first came to Garton City, and she was even more shocked: "What's going on?"
"Miss Elisa, with your wisdom, you should understand," Sorenton said calmly, "This is not an ordinary frame-up, but a conspiracy against the Church of Garton City. I am very sad. This conspiracy There is actually an important member of the church participating in it, and it is my most trusted arm, or this is simply a trick planned by Tenishi!"
Tenishu was prepared to fight, and immediately retorted: "Miss Eliza, you don't know, this 'Richard' is just an incompetent person, relying on his relationship with Sorendon's cousin Mana, I don’t know how many bribes were used to become the only candidate recommended by the Garton City Church, but the truly capable candidates were all suppressed and deceived by Sorendon. I can guarantee it with my life, everything I said is true Facts. Miss Elisa, please uphold justice, so that the greed and selfish desires hidden behind the brilliance will be invisible!"
"Then what should I do?" Elisa seemed a little at a loss for a while, "What you said seems to make sense..."
"It's very simple." Tenishi showed a confident look: "Facts can prove everything. As long as the four candidates compete in front of everyone, the truth will be revealed."
"Is that so..." Eliza looked at Joanna inquiringly, and Joanna, who was also someone who had seen the world, nodded slightly to her.
Paul observed the situation, and immediately said: "The winner is king, strength is the most convincing thing."
This sentence vaguely alluded to Samuel, and Joanna felt it was particularly harsh in her ears. She snorted coldly and said nothing.
Paul is the number one genius of the Longhuang Empire, and one of the contenders for the Knights of the Holy Mountain Temple this time. His words naturally have considerable weight, and Tenishiu and the others showed joy.
Here, Elisa has stabilized her emotions, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, let them compete once. If anyone can win, I will use the privilege bestowed by the Holy Maiden to directly appoint him as an alternate light knight. As for If the losers really have outstanding strength, I will also recommend them to my uncle to increase the number of candidates for Garton City, so please show your strength and perform well."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two candidates, Omi and Meite, lit up at the same time.
Turney practiced and said: "Miss Elisa is indeed wise, but it is not convenient to compete here. I suggest going to the arena of the church. Sorenton, do you have any objections?"
"Hmph! Of course I have no objection." Sorenton and Mana looked at each other, both of them looked a little ugly. Now that things are going on, it's hard to get off the horse, and they can only take one step at a time.
The arena of the church is equivalent to a large ring, with auditoriums around it, so you can clearly see everything on the stage.
A young man appeared beside Tenishi, and it was his disciple Rodin. Rodin was in his twenties, with a broad sword on his back, and his eyes were very sharp.
Soranton frowned tightly, Omi and Meite were okay, this Rodan is not simple, he is a young genius of the Yangshan Kingdom, with amazing potential, he has fully learned from Tenishi, and his strength has entered the division level It has been four years, and he has single-handedly defeated the vicious Blood Mist bandit group, which has become famous for a while, and his actual combat ability and experience are quite terrifying.
In contrast, although "Li Cha"'s real strength is also at the division level, his specialty is beast control, and his combat power is definitely not as good as that of Rodin. Now we can only pray that he will perform at a super level and create miracles.
Under the attention of everyone, the three candidates walked to the arena one by one, while "Li Cha" appeared to be late.
To Elisa's surprise, there was a little eagle on "Li Cha"'s shoulder, and a leopard beside him.
Chen Rui saluted Elisa from a distance: "Miss Elisa, I am a beast master, so please allow me to fight with my partners."
"It turns out that Li Cha is a beast master!" Elisa suddenly became interested, "Of course!"
All four of them stood on the ring, to be precise, there were two beasts... well, one beast and one beast.
The rules of this competition are very simple, four people attack each other, whoever falls into the ring or admits defeat will be judged as a loser, and whoever can stand on the ring in the end will be the winner.
Soranton's previous advice sounded in Chen Rui's ear again - "Rodan's strength is too strong, try not to fight him head-on, first try to knock Omi and Meite out of the ring, and then try to show your strength and try to hold on for a while, Even if we lose, we should have an explanation."
too strong? To Chen Rui, this word is just ridiculous. Among the people present, there are only two people whose strength can barely catch the eye. One is Paul, whose comprehensive strength has reached A-, the first stage of the Demon Emperor, and the same is the first stage of the Demon Emperor. Chen Rui can see that Paul's strength is even higher than that of Samuel. , should have been close to breaking through to the edge of the middle stage; the other is actually Eliza, whose superficial strength is C, but the real comprehensive strength is A, the middle stage of the Demon Emperor, higher than Paul, especially the mental strength has reached A+, it seems It is by no means a vain name that this little girl was able to become a disciple of the saint.
As for Rodin's strength, only C- is the first stage of the demon king, and the other two related households are E and E-, which are not worth mentioning at all.
However, Soranton really valued Chen Rui, who possessed the "beast control technique", and specially stuffed two scrolls to save his life.
With the announcement of Paul as the arbitrator, the contest began.
Almost at the same time, Omi, Meite and Luo Dan all attacked Chen Rui.
"It's not fair! They're all attacking Richard," Soranton stood up abruptly, "This was colluded in advance!"
"Master Sorenton, you are an absolute layman when it comes to this kind of battle. Generally speaking, in a melee, the one who seems to be the weakest is the first to be dealt with. Who makes that Richard look vulnerable?" Tenishi responded immediately, actually explaining it to Eliza.
Luo Dan has been lurking behind Omi and Mette, and he actually disdains these two people in his heart, but because he can't figure out the reality of "Li Cha", he let these two idiots take the lead to find out.
The wind leopard beside Chen Rui roared, and took the lead to meet him. Omi and Meite trembled at the same time, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him like lightning. Omi, who was the first to bear the brunt, shivered in fright, and quickly backed away, hoping that his "ally" Rodin could help him block the leopard, but when he looked back, Rodin had disappeared.
Seeing that the wind leopard was about to pounce, Omi didn't care too much, and immediately took out a scroll of acceleration to activate it, and his speed doubled immediately, but Omi didn't choose to fight the wind leopard, but was like the wind. He ran towards Meite in an attempt to divert trouble.
After discovering Omi's intentions, Mette cursed in his heart. He is a magician with almost zero melee combat ability. It is impossible to withstand the attack of the wind leopard.
In desperation, Mette threw Omi, who was rushing over with a slow technique, and the wind-like "elegant" figure suddenly slowed down. Mette quickly seized the opportunity to distance himself from Omi. It's a lot closer to Omi.
"You bastard!" Omi had already scolded, and in a hurry, threw a bunch of scrolls, and there were explosions everywhere, finally temporarily blocking the attack of the wind leopard.
Although Mette's magic power is limited, he also has many scrolls. While scolding Omi, he used magic scrolls to explode each other. This farce is even more exciting.
The fat city lord and the lord below did not expect such a scene to happen, and their faces were a little ugly.
Soranton's voice sounded in time, full of sarcasm: "I'm really not very good at fighting, but it's the first time I've seen such a wonderful scroll battle, and it's two 'future' light knights."
Miss Elisa didn't pay attention to listening to these now, she was watching the "fierce battle" between Omi and Mette with relish, and when she saw the "climax", she couldn't help laughing fiercely while covering her stomach.
In the auditorium, more eyes were focused on Chen Rui and Luo Dan. Compared with the two clowns, these two were the real protagonists.
The battle between Chen Rui and Luo Dan was also a chasing battle. Luo Dan had the upper hand, with a broad sword in his hand like a hurricane, chasing Chen Rui closely. Cracks destroyed by enormous pressure.
Luo Dan's strikes were very fierce, and his sword and sword never left the point. If Chen Rui only had the strength of appearance, once he got hit, he would become disabled even if he didn't die.
Chen Rui, who fell into a passive position, kept retreating and dodging, several times in danger, and the young thunderbird standing on his shoulder remained motionless, as if he was petrified.
Tenishi smiled with a sure chance of winning. Although Rodin couldn't compare with Paul's genius, his aptitude and potential were among the best in the entire Yangshan Kingdom. In a few years, even his teacher would be overtaken. Well, a mere beast master is not worth mentioning.
Luo Dan shouted loudly, and the broad sword in his hand burst into a strong yellow light. His vigor pierced through the air, and he slashed at Chen Rui, who was not on his feet firmly. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Chen Rui seemed to have an idea, rolled on the ground like a lazy donkey, and narrowly avoided the blow. A ten-meter-long crack appeared on the stone slab on the ground under this blow, and the baby bird It also flew up because of Chen Rui's roll.
Luo Dan was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when he felt the light in front of him was shining brightly, the strong light made his eyes sting, and he couldn't open them for the time being: Flash technique
Flash is the lowest level of light magic. It mainly emits dazzling light to block the enemy's sight. For a while, the audience's sight is also blocked.
Suddenly, Rodin who closed his eyes keenly sensed a danger, and immediately blocked it with his sword.
"Zizi..." The attack turned out to be a flash of lightning, and Luo Dan's whole body twitched suddenly. Although the power of the lightning was not enough to kill him, it made him temporarily incapacitated.
Immediately afterwards, the sense of danger rose again, and what made Rodin's heart shattered was that this time seemed a hundred times stronger than the last time!
In the dazzling light, Rodin's screams came, and Tenishi's proud smile froze on his face.
When the light dissipated, Rodin was seen rolling on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands and making a shrill cry.
On the opposite side, Chen Rui had already got up, panting violently, half of the leather armor on his chest and abdomen was cut open, it looked like that, if he dodged later, it would be a disaster of disembowelment. What caught people's attention was that the young Thunderbird had emerged from Chen Rui's shoulder to his arm, with blood dripping from its sharp beak.
"Rodin!"
This scene stunned Tenishi, and he couldn't believe his eyes. His genius disciple Rodan actually lost!
This is not only the failure of an alternate knight competition, but also the failure of another battle.
Soranton and Fatty were equally stunned. "Richard", whom they were not optimistic about, miraculously knocked down Rodin!
"Impossible, what kind of despicable conspiracy did you use!" Tenishi roared, and rushed towards Chen Rui on the stage recklessly.
Chen Rui seemed to be physically exhausted from the battle just now, and he couldn't dodge for a while. At this moment, the figure of Paul as an arbitrator instantly appeared in front of Tenishi. Before everyone saw Paul's movements clearly, Tenishi's huge body flew upside down, slammed into a wall dozens of meters away, and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while, leaving behind The large cracks in the human form can be seen, which shows the power of this blow.
"How dare you ignore the rules of the competition!" Paul said coldly, suspended in the air, this blow meant to show off his strength.
Omi and Mette, who managed to relieve the pursuit of the wind and leopard, were horrified to see the scene of Rodin's failure. The tragedy made both of them shudder. They looked at each other tacitly, and then Qiqi made a move: jump off the ring.
Chen Rui shouted, Fengbao didn't rush down the ring to chase Omi and Mette, but slowly approached Luo Dan who was rolling and howling underground.
"Lord Paul." Chen Rui "barely" recovered some strength, and bowed to Paul, "I think there is no need to continue this battle. Although I am not a person who is soft-hearted to the enemy, some of you here Miss Eliza and Madam... It's better not to let the ladies see too scary scenes."
The wording of "Honorable Madam" made Paul feel at ease. Looking at this "beast master", he felt very pleasing to the eye, and nodded immediately: "The competition is over! Omi and Mace surrendered, and Rodin lost the ability to continue fighting. I Announce that the winner is Li Cha!"
Chen Rui gave another salute to the audience, and staggered off the ring. Sorenton and Mana hurried up to meet him and helped him to rest, especially Sorenton, who could hardly conceal the ecstasy in his heart.
This time it was all thanks to "Li Cha", who not only succeeded in turning the tables at the most important moment, and won the candidate contest without any dispute, but also defeated the conspiracy of Tenishi and the forces behind it! Of course, the flash scroll presented by Sorendon also played a key role—at least the priest himself thinks so.
"Just now, Richard used the scroll of the flash technique in a critical moment, and then commanded the thunderbird to use the lightning talent, and while Rodin was paralyzed by the lightning technique, he pecked his eyes blind." Paul explained to everyone that Chen Rui won just now. After all, although the flash technique also made Paul close his eyes, with his holy strength, even with his perception ability alone, he could clearly see everything that happened in the field—at least Paul himself thought so.
In fact, the attack of flash technique, lightning, and Thunderbird is just a cover. The Thunderbird has not rushed close to Luo Dan. Chen Rui's power has already destroyed Luo Dan's defense. It can be said that his eyes were destroyed by this power. To be honest Well, if Rodin's attack hadn't been so vicious before, Chen Rui wouldn't have made such a ruthless attack. In short, he used a "Li Cha" method to win without any flaws in front of everyone.
According to Elisa's previous promise, Chen Rui has now become an alternate Bright Knight, one step closer to that plan.
