Chapter 224 Maintaining the Status Quo
......
"These are the personal ranking data of the current contestants. Let's take a look at them together."
Jiang Yu got the data. Distributed to everyone.
“This strength ranking is measured based on the performance in the previous knockout rounds and the treasure hunt. The current number one is undisputed, our captain.”
"I heard from the teacher that many ancient magic clans have gone to Venice. Guess what they are here for?" Jiang Yushen said mysteriously.
"Watching the finals?"
Jiang Yu shook his head, "The competition is not so attractive to those magic clans."
"It can't be to send his daughter off. Right?" Mo Fan said casually.
“……”
The air suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Yu looked at Mo Fan with a strange expression.
No, why does this guy’s brain circuit behave like this every time?
Can you guess this?
“Really?” Mo Fan looked confused.
"Nonsense!" Zhao Manyan was speechless.
“Look at his natural talents and forbidden skills, how could he not be attractive?”
The strength Lu Cheng showed in the game was already beyond the specifications. Yes, but it is within the rules, which has also led to the competition committee now discussing the rules and restrictions regarding Lu Cheng's appearance in the next events.
However, there is a high probability that Lu Cheng will be prohibited from using those forbidden techniques that are unknown to the public, especially the two large-scale summons launched in the treasure hunt competition.
The first dark creatures were not bad. Although there were a large number of them, they were all warrior-level, and those dark creatures were particularly sensitive to light magic. It was relatively easy for high-level light mages to deal with them.
Of course, it is only easy for light mages to deal with it.
But the subsequent large-scale "Dragon Tide Summoning" directly leveled the entire treasure-hunting space!
Hundreds of leader-level dragons feel as if they are suffocating in the middle of a demon empire, with dragon breath flying all over the sky!
Not to mention high-level mages, super-level mages are confused when faced with that kind of scene!
“Of course, it’s not a gift. After all, a handsome, invincible, talented, over-the-top, kind-hearted man with an exaggerated background is very attractive to girls...” Zhao Manyan paused.
"I really can't find a woman who can match him."
Jiang Shaoxu's face darkened.
You say I’m not good enough for him, right?
“I don’t know anything else, but for now, the Victoria clan has officially announced that it supports the further development of the two.” Zhao Manyan said.
“You can think that they are here to steal men.”
Lu Cheng's domestic information has basically been investigated by these people. Starting from Bo City, to the Magic City, and the Imperial City, from personal interests to daily life, his father hates him, why is he not a woman!
“Speaking of which… where is the captain?” Zhao Manyan asked.
"I haven't seen him since the treasure hunt ended."
"He went to Athens." Jiang Shaoxu said.
“Where is he going and why?” Zhao Manyan asked in confusion.
"I said I was going to see the goddess election ceremony. He asked me if I wanted to go. I said I wanted to practice in seclusion, so he went by himself." Jiang Shaoxu said.
The corner of Zhao Manyan's eyes twitched slightly, "As expected of him."
After the treasure hunting competition, it was a critical period to improve his strength, but Lu Cheng ran out to play.
However, there is no room for improvement in his strength. He is already a high-level cultivator.
“Is he interested in the Parthenon goddess?” Zhao Manyan asked suspiciously.
"Fuck! It's possible!"
With Lu Cheng's current background and strength, if he really wants to compete with him, apart from the Victoria clan, the only one who can compete with him is the Parthenon.
Moreover, Lu Cheng is a retail investor and has no home in the country.
"Okay, okay, where did you take the topic?" Nan Jue interrupted.
"He contacted me yesterday. He won't be able to come back during this period. At least we have to play the next two rounds by ourselves."
"You can fight by yourself. There are five leaders in our team now. Isn't this just a casual fight?" Zhao Manyan said there was no pressure.
With the funds obtained during this period and the resource support obtained from the treasure hunt competition, Mo Fan's Flame Demon Dragon has been officially promoted to leader, as has Mu Nujiao's Storm Demon Dragon, plus Mu Ningxue The Ice Dragon Grand Commander, Jiang Shaoxu's Dark Moon Demon Dragon, four high-blooded dragons, and Jiang Yu's Night Rakshasa have also been promoted to commanders. The five commanders came to the field with a pestle. This was not a casual fight. ?
“That’s not necessarily the case.” Nan Jue said.
"Yalong is not invincible. If the opponent finds a way to restrain himself, it will be difficult for us to defeat him. Team competition requires coordination, and just stacking firepower will not work. Moreover, in such an important game, you Are you planning to get through?"
"Uh..." Zhao Manyan looked embarrassed.
"Isn't there someone taking me flying?"
Why bother with C when you can just lie down?
......
The battle for schools is in full swing, as is the election of the Parthenon goddess. Since Ander did not commit suicide, she still has the highest voice in the Parthenon election battle.
"People from the Holy Inquisition have recently surrounded the city of Athens. You should know why?"
On the sacred mountain, Astraea's room.
Lu Cheng seemed to have walked into his own home, lying there as if no one else was around.
"What do you know? Wherever they want to go, can I stop them?" Lu Cheng yawned.
"Esendel is here, right?" Astraea said firmly.
The power of the Holy Inquisition spreads all over the world. Essendel appeared in Venice before the final judgment was issued by the Holy City, but then disappeared without a trace.
In this case, either he is dead or he is hidden.
The arrest warrant of the Holy Inquisition Tribunal is world-class. No country or magic force dares to cover it up. People targeted by the arrest warrant only need to provide a little information, even for high-level mage. It can be considered a big windfall.
But Essendel disappeared for so long without any trace, and the people from the Holy Inquisition also began to move closer to the city of Athens. It is only possible that those people have narrowed the scope.
I feel that Essendel has made one of the craziest decisions in the world, and he is hiding in this huge election.
"Do you want to become a goddess?" Lu Cheng asked.
“Not very interested.” Astraea said.
She has no interest in the position of goddess, nor in Parthenon. Everything she has done in these years is to protect herself, to survive from the crazy woman Ilyssa.
Getting to this point was not what she wanted, but she had no choice.
Ilyssa will not let go of any threat, including those she once allies. The fall of Essendel has already made it clear.
"Then what do you want?" Lu Cheng asked curiously.
“Tell me, and I’ll see if I can help you realize it.”
Astraea looked strange, “You want to do something in Parthenon?”
< br>When Lu Cheng started to change the topic, it meant that this guy had impure thoughts.
"Answer my question first, what do you want?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Maintain the status quo." Astraea said.
"I'm used to this kind of life. If big changes suddenly happen, I don't think I will be used to it."
"To put it bluntly, you still can't let go of the past." Lu Cheng Sit up.
“Aren’t you the same?” Astraea said.
“It’s different.” Lu Cheng said.
"Whether I can let it go depends on whether you can let it go."
Astraea sat down, "Are you still angry?"
"A little bit." Lu Cheng leaned in On Astraea's legs.
"Originally I thought I was no longer angry, but after returning here, I suddenly found that my anger is not so easy to reduce."
"Are you jealous? Eat a dead person Vinegar?”
"Don't talk about dead people, I can even be jealous of a dog. I am far more stingy and careless than you think. I will retaliate."
"Then why don't you retaliate? Don't say it was because of me. Before, Black Dragon I already understand what happened to the Emperor, you bastard.”
“ Because it’s troublesome. Revenge also takes time and effort, but I can’t get anything after revenge. It’s such a loss. In comparison, I would rather lie on a chair and bask in the sun.”
“Then. What are you doing now?"
"Look at the mountains."
"You still want to see the water, right?"
"Not..."
"Get out!"
"Get into bed?"
"Beasts ! ”
"I am."
"..."
