Chapter 1,068 Starting

Maybe someone also made a request, or maybe it was the unintentional threat in his request that kept the children from falling into the hell of endless conditions.

Seeing that these little guys were silent, Lin Xiao asked softly: "So, are you ready?"

The children winked at each other and communicated with their eyes for a while before Rowan came forward and said, "Sir, we are ready."

"Okay. So, old friend, are you ready?" Lin turned to Juan again.

Huan couldn't wait patiently, waiting for the person in front of him to bargain with a group of half-grown children. Naturally, he nodded heavily and said, "You can leave at any time."

"Okay. Then Stone, please give the starting order. Everyone is in position."

Stone is no stranger to giving orders as part of his physical fitness test. He walked up to everyone and raised his right hand. Some of the children were scrambling to get to the front, while another group stood behind the pile of children, leaning closely together.

There was no gunshot or whistle, just a simple wave of his hand. Stone shouted: "Start!" and everyone started to move.

Of course, the children at the front rushed out at the lead. However, except for the first few who were really running hard, the people at the back seemed to be running carelessly. They even stood shoulder to shoulder as they approached the gate, forming a human wall and blocking the road leading out of the gate.

Juan, who was at the end of the queue and wanted to rush to the front, reluctantly stopped himself to prevent himself from knocking over a few brats. Although that person didn't say it clearly, Juan still knew which of that person's conditions he should abide by. At least don't hurt these children, that's the most basic thing. So facing the human wall and unable to kick anyone away, he had no choice but to stop.

While keeping a distance from the children, Juan said: "Oh~oh, boys, I am not your enemy. How about blocking my way like this?"

A boy who seemed to have succeeded in his plan and was looking triumphantly turned his face sideways, looked behind him, and said, "It's the same for everyone. If you have the guts, just bump us away. As long as you touch us, you lose, remember?" ?”

Juan looked at the young man who dared to speak to him with admiration and said, "I have to praise you for your bravery in blocking a magician. But have you ever thought about it, I am not your enemy. I am with you." But there was no bet, but with that man. The same is true for you. The question is, you blocked me, but didn't stop the man. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Because in addition to us all becoming losers, I can't I can’t see that if you do this, there will be different results.”

"What?" The children, who were a little confused by what Juan said, looked around dumbly. Some people even pulled themselves back with all their strength when they were held up by other children and unable to move. It was a pity that no matter how they looked, they could not see the familiar face of the magician, only another guest.

The somewhat confused children looked in the direction pointed by the guest and finally saw the familiar figure. The magician who made the bet with them ran towards a wall next to the courtyard. About three steps away from the wall, he jumped with all his strength, stretched out his hand to put a hand on the wall, and turned sideways in a whoosh. Following closely behind him was the gray short-haired cat.

All the children who saw it were dumbfounded. Juan made up for it at the right moment and said, "Don't ever think that a formal magician can be deceived by your little minds. Your intentions are clear to us. The difference is clear to us." The thing is, some people will refute your opinions; some people will use your ideas to their own advantage. Since you no longer limit the route, and he does not intend to use ordinary running to solve today's problems, then you Are you going to block my way and make me lose a bottle of wine?”

Among the children who were left to lead the blockade, the biggest and smartest-looking kid immediately broke up the wall and said to Juan Javier, who was here as a guest: "Quick, magician, follow us." We know the shortcut to the bell tower."

At a time when someone no longer intends to use conventional methods to determine the winner, Juan is not very confident in the so-called shortcuts mentioned by the children. But at the moment, if you don't want to admit defeat directly, that seems to be the only way.

Even if you have no choice, you can only keep up. Under the leadership of a group of children, Juan also experienced once. In the glamorous place of the Holy City of Estali, there are dirty and smelly alleys that are not so glamorous.

Don't look at these children living on such a street in the past. They can only hide in the dark corners of ditches like mice, doing things that decent people don't want to do, or doing some sneaky things. Ever since they met a magician, none of the gangsters who had controlled the children dared to cause trouble for these children again.

When these children returned to the street again, they behaved unhindered. This was the agreement I made with the magician before, not to hurt anyone or break anything, and there were three kittens behind me to supervise. Otherwise, dozens of young people will take to the streets, and they will make a mess wherever they pass.

On the other side, Lin, who no longer planned to take the normal route, engaged in an Assassin's Dogma-style parkour exercise. Compared with modern parkour on Earth, except for the non-existence of various meaningless somersaults, the rest of the movements are complete.

All kinds of climbing, jumping, hurdling, sliding, or rolling after jumping from a high place, one principle that Lin grasps is not to stop. And the strength of the feet is three times that of the hands. As long as you can use your feet to solve things, such as in a narrow alley, you can step on the wall and the roof left and right, and you won't have to use your hands and feet to climb up stupidly.

As he headed towards the clock tower of the Technical Guild, he didn't exactly follow a straight line. In the three-dimensional terrain, the shortest distance to the bell tower must consider the issue of height. Sometimes the obstacle ahead is too high. Although I have the skills to climb and descend quickly, I can take a detour and pass it in less time.

And this competition has transformed from a race that originally tested physical fitness into a parkour sport that tests the limits of the body.

Since his body became demonized, Lin has not seriously tested his limits except for the battle with the lich in bed. But in the process of parkour, the various performances that he witnessed gave Lin a completely different understanding of the coordination of his body.

Whether it is stepping on the clothesline hanging high between the houses, the sense of balance shown. Or when descending rapidly from the roof of a house, during the process, he stepped on the railings, dug his fingers on the window sill, and jumped around like flowing water. The body coordination displayed was something that he could not have imagined in his fat house days. of.

And in many places, thanks to human hands, Lin actually made it difficult for the gray cat Hardy who was following him. You must know that it is a cat. Cats can easily reach places where humans cannot appear. This is a common perception. Hardy never thought that one day this fact would be reversed.
