The last team battle of the Knights of the Temple Selection Contest finally started. The competition in the team battle was far more intense than the previous two rounds, because the contestants as commanders could not make a move themselves, and could only dispatch soldiers under their command to fight in formation. As a result, the difference in strength between the two sides is tantamount to non-existence, and both have returned to the same starting line.
The weapons used in the battle are all specially made. After being hit, they will be automatically sent out of the field, and all the opponent's soldiers will be "eliminated", or the opponent will admit defeat and win.
Paul skipped the first round as the riding champion and directly entered the second round of the 24-man finals, becoming one of the top four with an undefeated record in the round robin.
The semi-finals were eliminated by lottery. Paul once again drew his old opponent Stanwell and tried his best, but finally lost with a slight advantage. Stanwell and another Sovrin entered the final.
Although the results of the semi-finals have been quite excellent, and the expected goals of the Knights of the Temple have been completed, Paul still feels very frustrated. Because the Pope and the two patriarchs will be present to watch the final finals, and Her Majesty also said that if she wins the championship, she may also attract the attention of the supreme angel and gain unimaginable benefits... However, all of this is not possible now up.
Paul looked at the sparse figures in the square and sighed. The championship and runner-up finals, which attracted the attention of thousands of people and were attended by the pope and the patriarch, were about to begin. Originally, he was supposed to show his strength to everyone on that stage, but now I can only be a spectator like so many losers.
He was in a bad mood and didn't even want to go to the arena.
"Paul." A familiar voice sounded from behind, with an alluring sweetness.
Paul knew who it was even if he didn't look back. He frowned and asked, "Elisa, what are you doing here? Aren't you with Richard all day?"
"Why, are you jealous?" Eliza giggled, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk."
Paul frowned even tighter: "Where is Richard?"
"I gave him a bouquet of rare ice-blue roses and asked him to pass it on to the half-elf. He spent a lot of effort during this time, but unfortunately, in the eyes of the half-elf, he is just a toad."
Hearing the news of Chen Rui's setback, Paul felt much happier: "What exactly are you looking for?"
Elisa looked around and stopped, "There are two things that are very important to you. The first one can be told to you for free."
"There is a price to pay for the second thing?" Paul looked suspicious: "You talk about the first thing first?"
"You don't know yet, your follower, Li Cha, has already become the Guardian Knight of the Holy Light in the Temple of the Holy Family, just when he was left alone by the Holy Maiden for the first time."
Paul was startled, and expressions of surprise, gloom, and anger quickly intertwined in his eyes—the Holy Light Knight is the highest among the three ranks of guardian knights, possessing special power and status, and is directly authorized and appointed by the patriarch. Ordinary guardian knights may not be able to reach this level in their entire lives. Paul himself abandoned the Temple of Thunder of his teacher Passari and joined the Temple of the Holy Family. There is no hope of winning the championship, and it is estimated that he can only become the lowest Bai Yao knight. In the eyes of the outside world, this is already a very high honor, but it means that he, a majestic saint-level powerhouse, will bow his head to that former follower in the future. How can this make the heart proud? Paul accepts.
"Li Cha" is just a lowly beast master, what method did he use to attract the attention of the saint? Thinking of "Richard"'s concealment from him, Paul felt intense resentment in his heart. Could it be that this guy has been using him to enter the holy mountain, with the purpose of using this springboard to step on his head
Thinking of this, the resentment turned into a cold murderous intent. In fact, Paul's "misunderstanding" was half right. Chen Rui really used him to enter the holy mountain.
Sensing the murderous intent in Paul's heart, Elisa smiled even more: "What are you thinking? Do you want to salute Richard in the future?"
"Hmph!" Paul's face sank after being poked in the sore spot, "Miss Elisa, is this your second thing?"
This kind of address has already shown Paul's extreme dissatisfaction, and Eliza didn't think so and kept smiling: "If you don't want to live under his shadow stooping for the rest of your life, then we can have a good talk about the second one." something happened."
"Oh? Are you going to deal with him? Haven't you gotten very close to him recently?" Paul thought he had heard it wrong, but suddenly thought that Elisa and Joanna were also close friends in the boudoir, but turned their backs Going to send Joanna to a dead place like the island of storms.
Seeing Eliza's smiling face, Paul couldn't help feeling chills, and gradually calmed down: "He is now being used by Her Majesty, and if there is any accident, Her Majesty will track it down..."
"What the teacher values is Li Cha's special value. If the value is no longer or is transferred, there is naturally no reason to continue to value it." Eliza's smile became more serious, "Once my plan is successful, Miranda and Li Cha will not become a threat, and the teacher will not blame him, the only thing I need now is a helper."
"What can I get?" The other party was Elisa, and Paul didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked about the benefits.
"Silver Guardian Knight, full support for the Loman family. In the future, I will help you become a Holy Light Guardian Knight."
"that's it?"
"Isn't that enough? I should be the one to help you get rid of the threat of Richard without taking responsibility. Of course, I also need to take the opportunity to get rid of Miranda. This is a win-win cooperation." Elisa said lightly. Looking at Paul, "Besides, what I promise is within my ability. If I promise greater benefits, do you think I am sincere?"
Paul thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "When will you do it?"
A strange light flickered in Elisa's eyes: "Now!"
Neither of them knew that behind them, a hidden figure was leaving silently.
Bright Holy Mountain, the garden building of the Temple of the Holy Family.
This is actually a big garden, planted with various flowers and plants, filled with sober aromas, and there are many trees in it.
"What are you doing here again?" The half-elf Miranda stood at the gate of the garden, looking at Chen Rui with a cold face. Chen Rui held a large bouquet of blue roses behind his back.
"This...for you." Chen Rui handed the blue rose hidden behind his back forward.
"Ice Blue Rose?" Miranda was slightly surprised, "Where did you come from?"
According to the lines taught by Elisa, Chen Rui said: "I spent a lot of effort to buy it. This kind of ice blue rose is said to be very rare, and it can be planted directly to survive. Don't you like flowers..."
"That's right, but the flowers you send, no matter what they are, are annoying." Miranda interrupted Chen Rui coldly.
"Sorry to bother you, Miss Miranda." Chen Rui showed a frustrated expression, "In any case, the flowers are not wrong, but I am wrong, I know you like them, before you leave, please accept these ice blue roses. Because I really don't know how to take care of them, and you can't bear them to wither like this."
Miranda lost her coldness slightly, and finally nodded. The ice blue rose is an extremely rare flower, and its fragrance and pollen are quite beneficial to her practice.
The half-elf took the flowers from Chen Rui, took a breath of the fragrance, suddenly frowned, looked carefully, and picked out a few blue grasses from the roses, his complexion changed drastically: "Vanilla!"
Vanilla vanilla is even rarer than ice blue roses, but its characteristic is ecstasy, which can make people who smell the fragrance lose their strength quickly, and it also has an additional attribute, that is, it has a certain aphrodisiac effect.
"Despicable!" Miranda immediately reacted, and in the sound of anger, the vanilla was turned into ashes. At the same time, Chen Rui was thrown away by a huge force, and before landing, he was caught by a figure. That figure was Eliza.
"Miranda! What are you doing?"
"I'm going to kill this shameless guy!" Miranda was extremely angry. She never thought that "Li Cha" would be so bold and despicable, and dared to use vanilla to misbehave her. Just now, he accidentally inhaled it The scent of vanilla, the strength has begun to show signs of decay.
"Li Cha is a good friend of mine, it's fine if you don't accept his pursuit, how dare you lay a poisonous hand on him!" Elisa put down her "good friend" who was seriously injured and pale, and stretched out her hand, a ball of white light enveloped him. Staying at Chen Rui, he rushed towards Miranda.
Before Miranda could open her mouth, Elisa was approaching like lightning without any explanation, so she had no choice but to fight. The two graceful figures began to separate and attack quickly, and the movements could hardly be seen. The fallen flowers and leaves affected by the force were flying all over the sky, "Boom !" Miranda's figure shot backwards, staggering back.
Due to the medicinal properties of vanilla, the half-elf didn't want to fight, so he quickly chanted the spell, with a white light in his hand, and wanted to cast "Light of Extinction" to repel Eliza. At this time, a warning sign suddenly appeared in my heart, I suddenly interrupted the spell, and slammed into my body, avoiding a deadly sword shadow behind me, but I was still hit by the rest of the force, blood overflowed from the corner of my mouth, and a slash from behind Shocking red marks are spreading.
Miranda showed pain, more because of the mental backlash caused by forcibly interrupting the spell. Before she had just landed on her feet, she heard a whistling sound in front of her. Unavoidable, she blocked it with her arms.
"Crack!" Amid the sound of bone fractures, the whole person was thrown backwards by a huge force, breaking countless flowers and trees along the way, and finally fell on the biggest ancient tree. The ancient tree trembled and dropped countless branches and leaves. The body of the half-elf slowly slid down and sat on the ground. This time, he was seriously injured and could no longer stand up.
Looking at Eliza and Paul who was attacking her, Miranda finally understood, ice blue rose, vanilla, sneak attack... This is obviously a premeditated attack! The mastermind of the conspiracy is none other than Elisa! As for "Li Cha", it was just being used!
"What about the body of light, can it be immune to this?" Elisa raised a giant hammer in her hand, and sneered with undisguised satisfaction: "How is this compared to the awl you used last time? I didn't expect that I would return it to you so soon! Don't try to ask for help, the teacher has already gone down the mountain to the Holy Light City to watch the final of the Temple Knights, and the guardian knights and attendants around me have already been dismissed by me."
Miranda desperately wanted to gather the strength to escape or to fight back, but the effect of the vanilla had been fully exerted, and the seriously injured body could not gather any strength, but instead gave birth to a strange heat.
"It will take some time for the effect of vanilla vanilla to wear off, Paul, you go and watch her first. Don't kill her for now, I will still be useful later."
Paul nodded, and walked over, the two-handed giant sword "Hua Guang" in his hand glowed with an icy cold light.
Elisa jumped up and came to "Li Cha", and when the white light was removed, she saw "Li Cha" lying there who was as angry as a gossamer. Elisa hugged Chen Rui: "Li Cha! How are you doing?"
Chen Rui barely opened his eyelids: "Just now... what happened?"
"That bitch Miranda wanted to kill you, and now she has escaped." The white light not only hangs "Li Cha" for a while, but also has the effect of isolation.
"Miss Miranda..." Chen Rui's gaze became darker, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Why did she do this?"
"She doesn't deserve you!" Elisa gently stroked Chen Rui's face, with a faint brilliance in her hands, "You and me, we are best friends, no matter what happens, I will be by your side .”
The power of that brilliance made Chen Rui feel very comfortable, and his eyes gradually calmed down: "Thank you, Eliza, I'm afraid I can't do it."
"Don't worry, with me here, I will do my best to cure you." Elisa's voice became softer and softer: "I am your most trustworthy friend and the closest person."
"The most trusted friend..." Chen Rui murmured, "The closest person, Eliza..."
"Are you really going to die?"
"Am I really going to die..."
"Can't hold it anymore? You can't just die like this!"
"I can't take it anymore... I can't die like this..."
Eliza's eyes glowed with a strange light, and she induced her step by step: "We must first pass the words of the soul to the closest people..."
"Send the words of your heart to those closest to you..."
"Who is the closest person?"
"Eliza..."
A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Elisa's mouth. She possessed a special spiritual power that could manipulate the opponent's thoughts to a certain extent, but this spiritual power was not omnipotent. Unless the opponent was willing, the stronger the opponent's will, the stronger the resistance. The stronger the sex will be, once she fails, she will suffer a terrible backlash, so she can't use it easily.
In Garton City, after Elisa heard the story of inheriting the words of the soul and confirmed it, she began to plan all this. She wanted to make Chen Rui a servant and seize his "Words of the Heart" power. Unexpectedly, Chen Rui finally chose Paul. But Elisa still didn't give up, and started a series of plans. After Chen Rui demonstrated the ability to communicate with the phoenix egg, she became more determined, and finally laid out the game, and now it is close to the end of the success.
This time, not only can he get the words of the soul, but he can also eradicate the deadly enemy Miranda. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Pass the words of the heart to Elisa." Eliza's voice became softer and full of temptation.
"Pass it to Elisa..." Chen Rui's eyes gradually glowed red.
