Chapter 148 Everyone get out of the way, I’m going to start showing off
Although High Priest Ryan is only at level 6, his status is extremely special. Not only did he order Pierce Holy Light Knight and Archbishop Duer who were sitting on the stage to stand up, When greeted, even Count Aini was very considerate.
The appearance of Ryan was, of course, to obtain the qualifications of a thousand captain for Xu Lai. Only by keeping in touch with Xu Lai and even sending his favorite apprentice to Xu Lai's territory, did Ryan understand the current situation of Xu Lai What kind of strength does it have.
In Ryan's eyes, none of the 20 heroes on the stage was important.
Especially when he learned that Xu Lai was already level 14, he made up his mind to help Xu Lai obtain a reinforcement group of 3,000 people.
What does level 14 mean? The Count Aini sitting in the middle of the general stage is already in his forties this year, but he is only level 22.
Of course, that is because Count Aini has been resting on his laurels for more than ten years, and his life of extravagance and extravagance has long corroded the human aristocracy.
But even so, Talosi, the former commander of the orcs' army and a talented wolf cavalryman, known as the Wolf General, is only level 35.
Level 35 is of course an extremely terrifying level, but it was gained by Talosi after nearly twenty years of fighting. Among the leaders of the entire stronghold, he is considered a high-level one.
Currently, the highest level in the human race is Earl Aini, but level 22 is only 8 levels higher than Xu Lai.
Therefore, as long as Xu Lai's specialization is not chosen blindly, the effect will definitely be greater than the 20 heroes on the stage, or even the 30 knights combined.
For this reason, High Priest Ryan felt that it was completely necessary and appropriate to sacrifice a little favor and face.
The awarding ceremony was temporarily interrupted due to the arrival of Ryan and the others. Several of them whispered something on the stage, and none of the heroes and knights in the audience could hear it.
However, everyone’s eyes were uniformly cast on Xu Lai, and many people frowned almost instinctively.
There is no way, Xu Lai is wearing a magical armor, and on his head is a high-level treasure, the Crown of Dragon Teeth, which increases 4 points of intelligence, 4 points of spirit, and a full 60 points of head defense.
The legs are rune trousers, and the feet are high-end treasure magic boots. Of course, bows, arrows and lances cannot be brought out, but swords are allowed.
Although the saber on Xu Lai's waist is not unsheathed, it is a level 5 reinforced Baizhan steel sword seized from a bandit leader. It is more powerful than his original high-quality Payne sword, so Xu Lai directly gave the Payen sword to Su Ya.
This level 5 Hundred Battle Sword, the bandit leader himself was not willing to use, and it was always wrapped in an exquisite scabbard.
Unfortunately, following Xu Lai out to fight for four days and four nights, the originally exquisite scabbard became stained with blood. Even if Xu Lai cleaned it carefully, it was still stained.
But because of this, many people felt the killing intent of this Hundred Battles Sword from the scabbard before it was unsheathed, especially those knights who were also experienced in hundreds of battles. and apprentice knights.
The war is approaching, and Aini doesn't have enough knights of his own, so he can only temporarily confer these 4th and 5th level knights into knights.
The former is a professional rank, and the latter is a title of nobility. They are both knights, but they have different meanings.
Most of the heroes don't understand this. They only know that they, who have been selected from thousands of people, are still alone. Not to mention weapons, they don't even dare to wear equipment.
This guy who came later was not only fully armed, but also stood in front of them with two men. He was just pretending to be in front of them.
We are all heroes, don’t they have any subordinates around them?
It's just that on such an important occasion today, everyone tacitly agreed not to bring them.
While the discussion was still going on on the stage, the two heroes who had just been decorated looked at each other and approached Xu Lai one from the left and the other from the right.
"Brother? Do you know what the occasion is today? It's enough for you to come up here wearing armor and a blade. I can't let you throw these things away for a while."
"But you still have Bringing two men up here is too disrespectful to Count Aini and the nobles, isn’t it?” Stay behind Xu Lai.
Although Xu Lai's equipment has extraordinary defensive capabilities and is at least an intermediate level treasure, it does not fit in a complete set. It looks like it was put together temporarily, which is really uncoordinated.
As for Tahan and Yan Feng, one is wearing a noble knight suit, and the other is a dashing hero suit. Not to mention being better than them, they are not far behind those nobles on the stage.
With the two door gods standing behind, although the two heroes wanted to show off, they really didn't dare to get close.
Xu Lai was forced to come here by the war mobilization order, and he was already unhappy. High Priest Ryan brought him to the school grounds without any explanation, saying that he would help him find a small official position in Aini.
Although High Priest Ryan had good intentions, his good intentions made Xu Laiwo very angry.
Although he has only been in this world for more than a month, Xu Lai has always been a hero. Now he is somewhat accustomed to his status as a hero. If he is asked to lower his head and act like a dog, he will feel comfortable.
Both are heroes. Of course Xu Lai can't tell other people's information at a glance, but from the fact that the other person doesn't even have any decent clothes, it can be seen that these two guys don't have much ability.
Otherwise, even if you don’t wear armor, it shouldn’t be difficult to spend some gold coins to buy a luxurious uniform in Stone Castle.
Xu Lai is already considered an extremely stingy person, and he is never willing to spend a lot of money. After he came to Stone Castle, he also thought about buying two sets of more expensive clothes after meeting Ryan.
This thing is a facade, even if you spend a little more money, it is worth it.
So after just one glance, Xu Lai said to the two of them impatiently: "Go away." The people on the stage could hear it, but it was not low enough for the people around and even some of the onlookers below the stage to hear it. For a moment, everyone's attention shifted to the two heroes, and the crowd in the audience began to whisper, and some even raised their hands to point at a few people.
A hero is born into a high position, can command monster soldiers at will, and is not from the same ethnic group as them, so he naturally has to bear this kind of criticism.
Xu Lai was able to turn a blind eye to these, but the two heroes who had just been humiliated could not bear this kind of criticism.
However, due to the pressure from Tahan and Yanfeng, the two of them always gritted their teeth, and no one dared to take another step forward.
Perhaps the discussion on stage came to an end, or perhaps the actions off the stage were noticed by the people above, and the argument between Aini and Ryan finally ended.
Count Aini, who was in his 40s, stood up with his fat body and said:
“High Priest, you have also seen that this Xu Lai has conflicts with others as soon as he comes. What should I do if I don’t obey military orders or commands when we start a war?”
Lian had no choice but to glare at Xu Lai angrily, and then said loudly:
"But if such a level 14 hero can't be used well, how can we humans defeat those orcs?"
Lian shouted out the level 14, which immediately made Xu Lai the focus of the audience again. .
You must know that almost all the experience in this world must be gained bit by bit with real guns and knives. Even the experience gained from opening a treasure chest must first defeat the monster guarding the treasure chest.
So, levels and levels are the hard problems of this world.
What's more, Xu Lai still has 30 points of reputation on him. Although it is not much, many nobles present have no reputation. Xu Lai's 30 points of reputation are enough to make him stand out from the crowd.
Of course, for the heroes behind Xu Lai who have not yet touched the threshold of reputation, they can only feel the inexplicable aura of Xu Lai.
But the people in the audience can feel this invisible pressure, so the targets of their criticism and pointers just now are the two heroes who stretched out their fingers towards Xu Lai, half of them No.
The level that Ryan shouted loudly made Aini quite unable to step down.
A hero of this level means that he has at least level 15 specialization, and the bonus he brings to his subordinates is unknown.
Even some of the little nobles on the stage have the idea of transferring troops to Xu Lai's name. If he, Aini, doesn't even hire such a hero, isn't he clearly telling others that he has selfish motives?
Staring at Ryan fiercely, Aini said helplessly to Xu Lai:
"Xu Lai, although you have reached level 14, you missed the general assessment after all.
Many people in the audience Heroes are all determined by their own abilities. It's not fair for me to eliminate them at will.
Well, you can pick any one of the following people as your opponent, as long as you win against any one of them. , you can be this captain.”
In the name of fairness, Aini left Ryan speechless.
He didn't need to say anything else. Although he didn't watch the whole process of these people's point-and-shoot assessments before, he knew most of their levels.
At least half of the heroes here, apart from their superior attributes, may not even be able to defeat a trainee infantryman.
So he had a lot of confidence in Xu Lai. Even though he was forced to do this, Aini still only planned to give Xu Lai a captain of thousands.
Ryan couldn't help but look at Pierce and Duer who were present, but they shook their heads. After all, the temple generally does not interfere in government affairs and military affairs.
Ryan also sighed in his heart. Human beings have been forced into this situation, but they still cannot unite as one.
But let’s just say one thousand people. I hope that with Xu Lai’s blessing, these one thousand people can play at the level of the main force.
Ryan had just adjusted his mentality, but he immediately heard words that made him want to beat that brat to death on the spot.
“Your Excellency, I think everything in this world is inseparable from the word justice.
Since I have missed it, I should bear this mistake myself. I cannot Because of a little relationship and favor, others were deprived of opportunities."
As he said that, Xu Lai glanced at the two heroes, only to see their faces turning blue and white.
Pierce was stunned for a moment on the stage, then smiled and said to Ryan: "Lian, this person you picked is quite interesting."
Lian couldn't laugh, he gritted his teeth and said: "Interesting person. ****”
The dignified high priest was so angry that he cursed. The crimson archbishop on the side shook his head helplessly and comforted:
“Haven’t you seen it yet? This young man People have their own ideas, and he is not someone who is willing to take advantage of others.
There are still four days before the decisive battle. Anyway, I think this young man is a good candidate. Why don't you ask Ryan about it later. Meaning.”
