275 Jima's Inquiry
At the end of the first day of the game, the sun was already west, but the Sand Arena was still as bright as daylight due to the use of permanent lighting spells.
There are about one hundred players in each competition area, which means that everyone has to play about ten games a day, and there will definitely be rest and recovery in the middle, so it is not surprising from the morning game to the dusk!
But after the ten games, Delan did not leave the Sand Arena immediately, but continued to stay inside until the night was setting and the moonlight spread on the street, and there were few pedestrians. He came out of the arena...
It turned out that Daren's performance today was neither good nor bad, with 5 wins and 5 losses, but he himself was very dissatisfied.
There are 2 qualifying places in the four competition zones in the southeast, west and north. In other words, if you want to become the quarterfinals of the competition, you must become the top two in the Eastern Conference standings! To break through the siege from one hundred people, the winner and lose half of each, it is far from enough...
In the information compiled by Enid, 30% of the about 100 players in the East District are children of noble families, and the other 70% are civilian geniuses from the eastern border of the entire kingdom. Before the game, Daren was quite confident and set a goal for himself and never lose to any civilian. At the same time, he was able to win in the competition with the noble children! In this way, at least 7 wins and 3 losses were considered qualified!
But when I really felt the pressure... Even those civilian children, Daren, had a great difficulty in dealing with them.
After all, everyone was shortlisted after defeating the Sand Puppet, and they had the strength of a 7-star intermediate adventurer! Even if Daren counted the stars on his back, he was only 6 stars. Fortunately, he took a small mouthful of dragon blood and two rare mutant stars and "fighting techniques" to support him. Only then did Daren have the capital to fight with them. Even so, he still lost to two civilian geniuses today.
As for the three games facing the nobles...Dalen actually lost all of them.
Therefore, the brunette boy felt a little depressed, so after the game, while the effect of the recovery potion Enid gave him was still there, he simply practiced himself in the Sand Arena! Although he had no opponents, Deren also had iron wrist guards, which could summon his own sand man and practice with him.
It was not until the medicine was exhausted and no trace of fighting spirit could be squeezed out from his body that Dairen left the arena.
Just after I came out, I saw an unexpected person.
Jima - the introverted and shy priest girl who was in the same team as her during the holy war - she was actually standing bored on the deserted street outside the arena. When she saw herself coming out, she immediately showed a surprise expression, as if she was waiting for her?
In fact, since the last day of the holy war, Daren himself rushed into the black fog, he had never seen his three teammates again.
"I bought tickets to watch the game today, but I saw you!" Jima did not hide her surprise. "Dalen, I remember that your strength was at most close to 5-star junior warriors, which was similar to Captain Bart? But today I saw you defeated several 7-star opponents with my own eyes! We are less than a month apart, and you really surprised me!"
"Congratulations! I didn't expect that I also met such a powerful genius..." The girl covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"I thought you would leave Jumo City after the Holy War." Daren also had a surprise of reunion. A month of life and death led to a very good friendship between the four-person team.
"Why should I leave?" Jima blinked, "Captain Bart is used to wandering everywhere, and Barbara is not a local, but I am the priest of Jumo City Cathedral."
"Look at my memory." Deren slapped his head and laughed awkwardly. The two of them quickly walked to a tavern that was open all night.
"Is there anything important to wait for me to be so late?" Delan asked for a beer and a sweet wine that the lady preferred, and handed the latter to Jima.
Jima didn't hide it and nodded: "I actually want to ask you something."
"you say."
"The pastors of our church have been worried about something recently." The girl took a sip of sweet wine, but her face was a little bitter. "It was a task from the Cathedral of Light, and we were asked to pay attention to someone. Unfortunately, there were few descriptions given above, and we were asked not to make too much noise when searching, so we were unable to find it."
"So mysterious?" said Darenchi.
"Well... it is said that he is a person who can predict the future! And he should have a unique special mark of light!" Jima nodded, "In fact, the Holy See all over the mainland are looking for such people, but the above do not know what method to use. It has been confirmed that this person is likely to be in Jumo City at present, so let us pay special attention. This has made us errands search day and night."
Daren stood there holding a beer glass.
A huge wave caused in his heart.
Who can predict the future? Have special marks?
And...is it currently in Jumo City?
There is no doubt that Deren immediately thought of Enid! She fully meets these three descriptions!
"The characteristics given are too blurry, we have no idea at all, like a group of blindfolded cats ramming around in the room." Jima sighed helplessly, "That's why I'm here to ask you."
"What are you asking me?" Deren was startled, reacted a little loudly, and stood up.
Jima said "uh" and looked up at the brunette boy in confusion.
Daren quickly sat down again with a composure, pinched his thighs, calmed himself, and asked in an inadvertent tone: "Is there anything special about the person you are looking for?"
"It is said to be a heresy." Jima spread her hands, "so you must find it."
Daren raised his cup and drank with wine. The large log wine glass just blocked his face, so Jima didn't see his face changing wildly... Heresy? Everything about the day is still vivid in my mind today. The old woman in the white robe of the Holy See cruelly cut a player's head in public. Later, someone announced that the dead player was the so-called "heretic", so that everyone should not think about it and the game continued.
Delen doesn't know the exact meaning of the word heretic, but this does not affect his inferring a terrible fact - the Holy See may have to kill Enid?!
This possibility almost made Daren's heart stop beating.
But when he put down the beer glass, his face had become dull again, and he scratched the back of his head with a little dullness: "Why do you ask me? I have never heard of such a person..."
Jima showed a disappointed expression when she heard this: "Is this true? Actually, I vaguely remember that when we participated in the holy war together, you seemed to know the characteristics of monsters very well! You obviously had never encountered them before, but you seemed to know something in advance... I was wondering, could it be told by someone else?"
"Where is it?" Daren waved his hand quickly, "I am just good at observing and trying hard to analyze the conclusions... predicting the future, haha, only you pastors can do this. I remember that there is a very famous pastor skill called [Prophecy]?"
"Yes, [Prophecy] and [Great Prophecy] can only be mastered by advanced priests and sub-legend priests." Jima nodded vigorously, "But it is not possible now. No one can see the future clearly now, except for the great prophet, Lord Osborne, the Son of Light."
When she said this, her eyes could not hide her admiration.
