Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 84: There is nothing new in history

Views:

"Second Truth" is different from ordinary martial arts. In layman's terms, it is a sure-kill move!

This kind of martial arts is a martial arts technique that a fighter has studied to the extreme in a certain technical field.

The "Six Fighting Styles" are the six most powerful secrets recognized by the world for fighters. They are the top martial arts in the six fields of boxing, strength, legs, body skills, body protection, and control.

One of the Six Styles [Secret Art: Cannon Fist]: A skill exclusive to martial arts masters. Legend has it that the 'God Fist' Ralph became famous in an ancient civilization. His punches are like cannons, powerful enough to break through all kinds of magic and collapse mountains and crack armor!

The second of the six movements [Secret Meaning: Sky God Strike]: A skill exclusive to the qigong master sequence, with special qi strength, ignoring defense, and capable of beating an ox across a mountain!

The third of the six movements [Secret Meaning·Feng Xing]: A common body technique for martial artists, derived from the ancient martial art of "eight steps to chase cicadas". It comes and goes like the wind, walks like a ghost, goes wild and moves like a ghost, leaving a shadow!

The fourth of the six moves [Secret Skill·Lanqiu]: A universal leg skill in the fighter sequence, thirty-six ways of kicking the leg secret move, the air arc is like a blade, cutting stone and metal!

The fifth of the six movements [Mysterious Vajra]: Universal body protection for fighters, invincible and as solid as a rock!

Sixth of the Six Styles [Secret Art·Ten Hands]: A universal control martial skill for fighters, Cross Palace Hands, splitting tendons, breaking bones, twisting the head, one control to death!

... .

The debate on which of the two main branches of the fighter sequence, [Qigong Master] and [Martial Arts Master] is stronger and weaker has never stopped.

For warriors, the most intuitive way is actual combat.

Whoever wins the fight will be more powerful.

Today is the qigong master Capone Gonzalez, the director of the "Jizhen Martial Arts Academy", versus the martial arts master Qiang Hu, the director of the "Bahu Martial Arts Academy".

The two have competed several times in the past few years, with the outcome being 70-30.

The qigong master's endless fighting spirit makes him even more likely to win.

However, apart from the competition between the two masters and the competition between their disciples, the winning rate of the extraordinary first, second and third level [Martial Arts Master] of the "Bahu Martial Arts Hall" is over 80%.

These two results also clearly show the advantages of the two fighting schools.

One is strong in the early stage, and the other has great stamina.

... ..

"It's really lively today."

When Ren arrived at the Kyokushin Martial Arts Hall, there was already a queue to enter.

After all, the City of Glory is a city of mages. The most crowded place here is the magic tower, while the martial arts hall is relatively deserted on weekdays.

Today, there are not only some fighting prodigies who look strong, but also many mages wearing mage robes, nobles in gorgeous clothes, and hunters with various strange professions.

Fights between top fighters are not common. Watching this kind of fight will be beneficial to any extraordinary profession.

Renn often comes to learn boxing recently, and he bought a ticket and entered the venue with familiarity.

Ticket prices range from one to one hundred contribution points.

He spent a hundred points and chose a front-row seat where he could see carefully.

After all, he also spent a lot of money on "esoteric courses".

If you want to observe the martial arts of the two great masters and explain the secret martial arts courses, one class will contribute 1,000, and each master will teach five sessions. Whoever wins will speak first. This is the rule in previous years.

It sounds like 10 million lisso to learn a top martial arts skill is definitely a good deal. However, the reality is that it is impossible to learn a profound martial art in just one class.

Even if a master explains a lesson without reservation, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to learn it.

Mysterious martial arts are very powerful, but they are also extremely difficult to learn.

The more advanced the martial arts, the higher the requirements for understanding, qualifications, and hard work. It is not an exaggeration to say that it takes ten years to hone a skill.

There are no shortcuts for martial artists, only hard work.

Even if you know how to punch this punch, you still have to punch it thousands of times and practice it thousands of times before you can use a punch that can be called a "mysterious" power.

For ordinary people, this kind of public course is actually more suitable for high-level extraordinary beings to "attack jade with stones from other mountains", and is definitely not a shortcut for low-level extraordinary beings who are new to fighting to "fly into the sky".

These six mysteries are enough for an extraordinary person in the martial arts category to ponder for a lifetime.

But Renn didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Level 5 experts die every year in the City of Glory, and no one can guarantee whether these two masters will still be alive next year.

Simply, he spent 10,000 contribution points, which was also a huge amount of 100 million liso, to buy ten lessons from the two masters.

Because he has a "smart brain".

Even if you can't understand the high-level martial arts at the moment, record them so you can slowly observe them in the future.

The money spent for one lesson is actually no different than buying a lifelong personal trainer from two great masters.

This money spent is not a loss at all.

... .

The martial arts hall made a special arrangement today and built a steel structure terrace. It is estimated that the number of spectators exceeds 10,000.

Ren found his seat number, and there were not many people around when he took his seat.

The VIP position of the 100-point contribution is very good. The arena is right in the center of the field of vision. This angle is just suitable for "intelligent brain" recording.

After waiting for a while, people started to take their seats one after another, but the competition hadn’t started yet.

Renn, who had changed into a pig-head mask, was flipping through a potions book out of boredom, but suddenly, he heard a noise around him.

"Look, that's the eldest princess of Oma, Ymir Spurgeon! I didn't expect that she would actually come to watch the competition."

"The title of [Frost Sword Princess] is not for nothing. This eldest princess is also known for her strong sword skills..."

"Wow... It is said that His Highness Ymir is the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, but it's a pity that he is wearing a mask and can't see his face..."

"..."

Ren listened, looked up, and saw a large group of people walking in from a distance.

The first one wore a cold gold mask, a gorgeous palace swordsman uniform with gold and silver patterns, and a fishbone rapier at his waist. Behind her, there were also a group of menacing heavy-armored swordsmen guarding her.

At first glance, this splendid appearance looks like that of a top noble.

"Boss Ymir is really the eldest princess of Oma."

Ren glanced at the woman in the golden mask. Although her face was covered, her tall figure was still recognizable at a glance.

After all, during those days when she was recovering from her injuries in the wasteland, he had taken a good look at the figure of the eldest princess. This waist-to-shoulder ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, golden leg-length ratio... he was all too familiar with it.

Renn didn't expect to meet this "old acquaintance" here, who he didn't know whether he was familiar with or not.

... .

Ymir's pomp was huge, and he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered.

At this time, the melon-eating people also began to theorize.

"I heard that the territory entrusted to Her Royal Highness the Princess is to the west of the Alcoron Mountains. She came to the Glory City this time, and it seems that she planned to discuss the construction of a new city with Master Cavo..."

"If you want to establish a firm foothold in building a city here, you must be protected by the City of Glory in the early stage. Otherwise, even Omar's steam technology cannot withstand the waves of monsters in the wasteland..."

"Master Kawo has not shown up in seclusion for several years. Now the five major families are in charge of the city. If Omar wants to build a city here, it must be negotiated through the five major families. After all, the 'Glory City' is not the Omar Empire. In this territory, the five major families may not give them face..."

"Yes. Who knows if this is Emperor Omar's conspiracy to extend his hand to the City of Glory. It is not easy to build a city near the City of Glory..."

"You don't know... It's said that it is a king, but it is actually a distribution. Once the Omar royal family divides the territory, it will be completely far away from the center of power. Otherwise, my majestic princess, the territory will be the 'Alcoron Mountains' On the west side, the Machinery City has to be built from scratch? What kind of royal treatment is this? It’s not as good as any marquis lord... "

"..."

Those who can spend a lot of money to sit in the front row are more or less people who know the inside story.

Renn raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

These days, he also had a general understanding of the political situation in Oma and learned about the "reform movement."

This thing sounds very new in this world, but it has been played badly in the history of various countries in previous lives.

There are always striking similarities and repetitions in the process of historical development. Even in this extraordinary world, after society develops to a certain level, the original social classes will inevitably be adjusted.

The two major empires today are, to put it bluntly, a "semi-slave and semi-feudal society", with the nobles controlling most of the social resources.

When this social system develops to a certain extent, the contradiction between the nobility and the common people can easily intensify, which will inevitably lead to changes.

Generally speaking, it is the oppressed lower class who want "bottom-up" innovation. In layman's terms... it is a coup d'etat.

But this Emperor Omar is considered courageous and plans to carry out "top-down" reforms to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

It's a pity... It seems that it failed to shake the old aristocratic group that is deeply rooted in the empire.

This routine looks a bit like the "1898 Reform" of a certain dynasty in the previous life, or the "Meiji Restoration".

There was nothing new in politics, and Wren had roughly guessed the whole story.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened to the Omar royal family, he thought that Ymir had been assassinated before, and now he was entrusted to this remote place where nothing matters.

You can guess with your toes that this boss failed in the political struggle.

Renn didn't have time to worry about that, after all, the political situation had nothing to do with him, a little fellow.

Even if a big boss like Ymir fails in the struggle, ordinary people are not qualified to worry about it.

He is also very self-aware and has no intention of saying hello or anything like that.

... .

No one knew that this grand competition was being held in the martial arts hall.

The eldest prince of Omar, Quentin, and the most popular aide around the queen, Clemens F. Metternich, had quietly met with the heads of the five major families in the Glory City in the secret room.

Metternich, wearing a black cloak, was lobbying for something.

"Five city lords, do you really want to think about it again? Now that we have established an independent kingdom, our Omar royal family will recognize your thrones as soon as possible and form an offensive and defensive alliance. Our Omar Royal Academy of Sciences will also provide you with the most advanced technology. technological equipment. What we need is just some high-end magic resources and free trade priorities... "

"Now that the City of Glory has become extremely prosperous, you city lords will tolerate it. Your sons and daughters can obviously enjoy a stable life in the city, but because of the backward hunting system established decades ago, they must personally fight with those who have lost their heads. Just like the hunter on your belt, go out and participate in the hunting mission, right?"

"If I remember correctly, three years ago, Lord Kiplin, your youngest son was unfortunately lost in the fog during a wilderness hunting mission, right? Two years ago, Lord Arnold, your uncle was also involved in the 'Blood Canyon' hunting mission. Broken legs due to missing missions? And City Lord Kidd... "

"..."

The eldest prince Quenting came in person, which showed the sincerity of several major city lords.

Now everyone understands that the eldest princess Ymir has been crowned the king, and the succession to the throne has completely disappeared.

This His Highness Quentin is the future Emperor of Omar.

His statement carried great weight.

The heads of the five major families were also very moved by what they said.

Although they now control all the resources of the Glory City, they are no different from kings and lords.

But because of the hunting system established by Master Karl back then, they still have to personally participate in hunting missions and city defense like ordinary hunters, and the mortality rate is also very high.

At this time, the leader of the five major families, the Winster Patriarch, Kidd Ernst, said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, to be honest, we are very tempted by your proposal. But you also know that Master Kavo's The six-story magic tower stands at the highest position in the city from beginning to end... "

This was said very cryptically.

As long as Master Cavo is alive, he cannot overstep his authority.

Abandon the hunting capital and build a kingdom

If Master Carlo had chosen to build the city west of the desolate and dangerous "Alcoron Mountains" because of the power of the nobles, wouldn't it have been unnecessary

The eldest prince Quentin said nothing.

Beside him, Metternich stood up again and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, since this proposal was made by Omar, we will naturally negotiate with Master Cavo... Give me some time, I I can guarantee that Master Kawo will definitely agree."

These words were spoken with conviction,

No one noticed the meaningful glint in this staff member's eyes.

... ..

After hearing this, several clan leaders also breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be better if they don't need to come forward.

The hard times when our ancestors started their own businesses have passed. Who would be willing to work in the fields when the landlords can collect rent and enjoy themselves

Even if they are willing, what about the thousands of people behind their five major families

Can you really bear to watch your children die in the wilderness one after another

The five city lords looked at each other, nodded, and finally decided: "If Master Kawo doesn't agree, we will have no problem."

Metternich: "In that case, I wish our alliance a happy alliance in advance."

The five city lords showed joy on their faces, and they all bowed to Quentin with noble salutes, "When the time comes, we will rely on His Highness Quentin to take care of him..."

The atmosphere of the negotiation suddenly became very harmonious.

At this time, the eldest prince Quentin, who had been silent for a long time, also raised a smile and responded: "The alliance is beneficial to us all. It is an equal covenant. You don't have to be so polite."

When the five city lords heard this, their expressions became a little brighter.

They are a family of magicians themselves, and they have a covenant bound by the power of the contract, and they are not afraid of being plotted against.

"Oh... I almost forgot!"

At the end, Quentin added: "Before that, I have a small problem that I need help from all the city lords."

The five city lords: "???"

Quentin still had a relaxed smile on his face, but a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he said in a soft tone, "I heard that my dear aunt wants to establish a new territory here. I think you don't want to have a third territory either. Two glorious cities will appear..."
