Chapter 2724: Evil Woman
Seeing the result, Gray Merchant frowned slightly under the mask.
If they were allowed to send out players first, it would not be very advantageous for them, as the opponent could choose who would go on the field in a targeted manner.
However, this thought only appeared for a second or two, and then disappeared. Although this was disadvantageous to them, the battle limited the scope, which was very beneficial to them. It was estimated that the referee did this for balance.
Thinking of this, Gray Merchant no longer entangled in these trivial matters, but began to think about who would go on the field?
Should he go on the field himself, or let the evil woman go on the field first.
He only knew Duokes on the other side, and Duokes was definitely not the one he was looking for. Moreover, Duokes' reputation was well-known, and what his bloodline was had long been exposed. Gray Merchant's Gem Earth Dragon bloodline naturally restrained Duokes, so if he came to fight Duokes, it should be no problem.
But, if he went on the field, would Duokes go on the field?
It should be... After all, Duokes was a pure-blooded wizard who supported the Maidi Declaration, and he was a blood-source wizard. With his personality, he might be the first to jump out.
If Dox can be dealt with first, the other wizards behind will be easier to deal with. The only variable is the nose on the other side of the stone slab. Will he be a contestant? Will he go up?
While the Gray Merchant was thinking, a light shield suddenly covered their heads.
At the same time, the voice of the black-robed referee came into their ears: "You have up to three minutes to discuss. By the way, in this light shield, the external energy is completely isolated. You can discuss as much as you want, but it is best not to communicate with your mouth."
The isolation of external energy means that their communication in the mind band will not be noticed by others.
The Gray Merchant looked up and thanked the referee, then turned to look at the evil woman. His voice had already come out of the mind band: "I will go first."
The evil woman floated in the air, without replying, but looked at the Gray Merchant with a disdainful look, as if waiting for the Gray Merchant to give a reason.
The Gray Merchant pondered for a moment and spoke out his analysis.
After listening to the story, the evil woman sneered: "Your analysis is correct, but you only see one aspect. You know Dox's information, why can't he know your information?"
Gray Merchant: "My identity should not have been leaked."
The half-exposed face of the evil woman showed a scornful smile: "Sure enough, you in the past and you now, even if your strength is similar, are still very different in nature."
Gray Merchant remained silent.
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Gray Merchant: "What did you see?"
Evil Woman: "Do you remember what happened outside when we stepped out of the hanging ladder door?"
Gray Merchant thought about it. When they stepped out of the hanging ladder door, there was actually no one outside. They were still very surprised at the time. The Mirror Man clearly said that they were there, so how could they not be found.
Then, the black-robed referee appeared and put forward a small test for them.
When thinking back to this, the gray merchant vaguely understood what the evil woman meant.
If the other party didn't know they were coming, how could they hide in advance? How could the black-robed referee put forward a test?
Moreover, the black-robed referee is so powerful that the Cangjingren can even let him be the referee. Why not let him deal with the target directly? The answer is already obvious.
Seeing the enlightenment flashing in the eyes of the gray merchant, the evil woman said: "Do you understand now? This referee is not necessarily on the same side as the Cangjingren. After we came out of the hanging ladder gate, he also came out a while later. Maybe he was in the same place as the group of people on the opposite side before."
"Remember what he said when you introduced yourself? He knows who you are."
"Since he knows your identity, he is not necessarily on the same side as the Cangjingren, and he may even have some connection with the group of people on the opposite side. Why do you think that Dox doesn't know that you have the bloodline of the gem earth dragon? Maybe he has already revealed your information."
The evil woman said lightly: "Not only you, maybe all our information has been revealed."
The gray merchant had nothing to say this time. What the evil woman said was not unreasonable. Although they were all guesses, the evil woman's intuition has always been sharp, and the doubts she raised are indeed unexplainable.
The way of survival for wizards is that being too cautious is not wrong, but being too optimistic is a sin.
Let's imagine the worst result. If Dox really knew that he was of the blood of the Gem Earth Dragon, Dox would never go on the field. Then his idea does not exist.
"It's either me or you. Do you want to go first?" Gray Merchant said in a deep voice.
Evil woman: "As long as you activate your blood, you will basically expose your own information. But I am different. The parts on my body yesterday are different from those on today. Even the black-robed referee can't predict what organs I will transform today."
"For me, if they respond according to past information... Hehe, empiricism is deadly."
Speaking of this, even if the evil woman did not make a clear statement, the meaning is already very clear.
Gray Merchant thought for a moment and finally nodded: "You can go first. However, you have to be careful of the strange nose on the opposite side. There is a certain probability that it is..."
The evil woman waved her hand: "I understand, you don't have to say it. However, compared with the nose on the stone slab, I care more about the wizard who can perform illusions. I always have a feeling that he is not an unknown person."
After the evil woman said this in the mind band, she took the initiative to untie the bandage tied to the gray merchant's wrist, slowly floated forward, and finally passed through the light shield and came to the center of the arena.
The wise master watched the evil woman pass through the light barrier and already understood that she would be the first wizard to appear on the gray merchant's side.
This was not too unexpected. He had the least information about the evil woman, and as a transformation wizard, no one could clearly judge the frequency with which she replaced blood, limbs, and organs.
Therefore, everything about the evil woman, including tactics, combat skills, abilities, talents, and bloodline, are unknown.
No one knows which ability of the evil woman will restrain her. Therefore, the appearance of the evil woman is more stressful for Angel's side than the appearance of the gray merchant.
However, Angel's side has already decided on a countermeasure. Angel will fight against the gray merchant. When the evil woman appears, Doakes will naturally be the one to deal with it.
After the evil woman appeared, a symbolic mask also appeared on Angel's side for them to discuss.
But there was no need to communicate at all, Doakes just threw his hands and played.
Looking at Doakes's back, Vai opened his mouth, and finally suppressed a sentence: "Don't be fooled by a witch like you did back then."
Doakes thought he was walking very gracefully, but when he heard Vai's words, he almost staggered.
Doakes calmed down and pretended to be indifferent: "I am no longer the person I was then, just wait and see."
Vai: "See how you ended up in a disastrous defeat?"
Doakes said angrily: "It's a triumphant return!"
After speaking, Doakes was no longer in the mood to argue with Vai, and strode towards the middle court.
On the other side, the gray merchant sighed slightly when he saw Doakes appearing first. Now it was almost certain that Doakes must know his information.
Otherwise, given Doakes' dislike of the Bloodborne Wizard, he would definitely wait for him to play.
Now that the Wicked Woman is on the scene, Doakes has already appeared, which means that the Wicked Woman's speculation is correct. This black-robed referee is not necessarily on the same side as the man hiding the mirror.
However, even if it is not one party, he is willing to be the referee, and the person hiding the mirror also agrees, which is very intriguing.
Limited confrontation, but not complete opposition?
Is this some kind of survival rule in the underground labyrinth?
While the gray merchant was guessing, Doakes had already stood in the center of the field. He lazily pulled out the red sword from his waist. The red light flashed. Doakes held a sword in his arms. Finally, he tilted the sword to the ground and stretched it out. With the other hand, he thought he was cool and raised his index finger at the evil woman.
The evil woman floating in mid-air was not angry at Doakes's provocation. Instead, she clicked her tongue twice: "Red Sword, Doakes...it's a little different from what I imagined."
The evil woman paused deliberately when she read Doakes's name.
Doakes asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Evil Woman: "The Doakes I imagined was a gentleman who wouldn't hit a woman. But I didn't expect that you would be the first to duel with me."
Doakes snorted a few times: "I'm not a gentleman. Don't you just want me to be gentler when you say this? I can't do that."
After Doakes finished speaking, before the wise master's words could begin, he pointed the red sword and his whole body seemed to merge into the sword, turning into a red line and drawing towards the evil woman.
Facing the sudden red line, although a hint of surprise flashed in the evil woman's eyes, she did not show any panic.
When the red thread was about to touch the evil woman's body, Wu Feng's automatic bandage suddenly spread out from the evil woman's body at a phantom speed, like white tentacles, wrapping the red thread tightly.
And as the red thread was wrapped, Doakes' figure slowly appeared.
Doakes shook slightly and wanted to shatter the bandage wrapped around the sword, but the bandage's toughness was beyond his imagination. He used great force, but apart from loosening the bandage a little, there was no sign of it being broken.
However, the loosening of the bandage also allowed Doakes to successfully draw out the sword.
Doakes didn't hesitate, dodged and prepared to circle his back.
But before he could make any move, a huge pressure fell from the sky.
Doakes and the evil woman were suppressed by coercion at the same time and fell from the air. The releaser of the coercion is undoubtedly the wise master in the sky.
"I didn't say that taking action before starting is against the rules. It's just this once. If you do it again next time, I will throw you out of the arena."
After saying this, the extremely powerful pressure slowly dissipated.
Doakes and the Wicked Woman finally have a chance to breathe.
Doakes turned over and returned to his original position while mumbling something. The evil woman also floated into the air again, but there was a hint of haze in her eyes.
It was only speculation before that Doakes and others made some kind of deal with the black-robed referee and obtained their information. But now it seems that the black-robed referee is in the same camp as the opponent.
It was said to be a punishment, but in fact nothing was punished. Even the arrival of coercion directly cleared all the pheromones floating in the air.
This is tantamount to breaking the evil woman's spell.
Although the evil woman was filled with hatred, she still did not dare to say anything in the face of the powerful strength of the wise master.
He could only cast a vicious look at Doakes.
Doakes felt the fierce look and looked back. But at this time, the evil woman put away her evil expression and said with a sweet smile: "The referee was right to stop you. Your behavior is really not a gentleman."
Doakes said angrily: "Stop talking about gentlemen. Gentlemen and I have nothing to do with each other."
"Really?" The evil woman suddenly laughed and said, "Six years ago, I went to the Manro plane to attend a small tea party. At that tea party, I met a strange witch. At that time, someone asked a question, saying which man in the southern wizard world is the most gentleman. Guess who the witch is talking about?"
Dox said suspiciously: "From what you said, the gentleman she is talking about is not me, right?"
The evil woman said word by word: "Yes, oh~"
While Dox was shocked by the news, the wise master in the air did not have the mind to gossip, and said directly: "If you have the ability, talk while fighting. Now I declare that the battle begins."
As the wise master's voice fell, Dox immediately began the offensive.
As for the "gentleman" issue mentioned by the evil woman, he didn't care at all. Win the battle first and then talk about other things.
However, the evil woman did not stop talking. While dodging with some strength left, she continued: "Do you know why she said you are the most gentlemanly wizard in the Southern Territory?"
Dox did not answer, and his attack became more fierce.
The evil woman asked and answered herself: "Because she said that you never fight with women. Even if you are stepped on by a woman, you still refuse to draw your sword."
Dox's movements suddenly paused, but soon, he became faster than before.
Evil woman: "Oh, right. I seem to have forgotten to say that her name is... Yuna."
Dox raised his head suddenly, and his pupils shrank.
...
"Yuna?" Angel, who was standing on the sidelines, repeated the name in a low voice: "Is there such a wizard in the Southern Territory?"
Angel raised his head and met Kael's sight. Kael thought he was being asked, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Sir, I haven't heard of it either."
After Kael finished speaking, he did not forget to pull Wai, who was also an apprentice, to him, "What do you think?"
Wai had a subtle look on his face, and after a long while, he said, "Yuna, I know."
Angel and Kael were both stunned and looked at Wai.
Wai thought for a while, "When Dox came on the stage before, didn't I say that he shouldn't be fooled by a witch like he was back then?"
Kael nodded, "Yes, I remember. I wanted to ask at that time, but..." Sorry for gossiping.
Wai: "That witch was Yuna. At that time, she was an apprentice like us, and we had adventured together for a while."
When Wai said this, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
