Chapter 1815 Competition Test
If competing with Emily requires all your strength, then competing with Achilles requires risking your life.
I can't help but risk my life. His casual thrust is enough to pierce my body.
What's more, he has been using the power of transformation when fighting me.
I'm quite dissatisfied with him using the power of transformation. He can torture me into a dog without using the power of transformation. If he uses the power of transformation, he can't play with me like a little chicken!
However, Achilles didn't think so. He believed that with my talent and the speed of my progress, national forces would definitely come to me for discussion in the near future.
I was confused when I heard this. Why, the national power has become idle enough to start doing things like door-to-door challenges?
How is this different from door-to-door sales?
Achilles explained: "Door-to-door sales are selling goods. Coming to you for discussion is a preliminary confirmation of your strength. I want to test whether you are qualified to step into the ranks of national power in the future."
After hearing this, I said disdainfully: "This was your rule at that time. Please, it's been thousands of years. I'm afraid the national powers have long forgotten this set of rules."
Achilles was not angry because of my disdain. He said calmly: "Not long ago, I just met several national forces, and some of them have already drawn up the latest competition list. Two of them are you. My fiancee, one is Bai Yunying and the other is Emily."
After listening to Achilles' words, I shrugged disapprovingly. It is well known in Moonlight City that Bai Yunying and Emily are my fiancées, and everyone is convinced that Bai Yunying and Emily are very powerful. The examples they used to stimulate my growth still have a certain meaning and credibility.
Although it seems a bit naive to make a fuss about the two people's names and abilities, in order to stimulate the newcomer's desire to grow, it is still possible for Achilles to do this kind of thing.
So even if you don’t take Achilles’ words seriously at all in your heart, you still have to show off to him in terms of performance and actions. After all, he has good intentions, and as juniors, we can’t live up to his expectations. Bar.
So from that day on, the discussion between Achilles and I was also on the schedule.
During the discussion, Achilles was very interested in my Xilan sword technique. He told me that in the Battle of Troy, he had fought side by side with a man who used Xilan sword technique, and that man was only as strong as Ai Millie is almost the same, but because of Xilan's exquisite swordsmanship, he is faintly approaching Achilles in terms of overall strength, and he became one of the few who shined in the Battle of Troy.
It's just that he was not strong enough after all. During the confrontation with the boss, he was severely wounded by monsters one after another, and finally died.
Achilles' story made me feel very uncomfortable, and I felt like he was cursed to death.
However, looking at the vicissitudes of reminiscing and the sadness on his face, he probably said it out of his heart and unintentionally.
In short, what Achilles said mainly wanted to express the meaning that "Xilan sword technique is a very promising sword technique."
I readily accepted Achilles' advice.
In a blink of an eye, it's today. Emily and I had just returned home side by side after our competition, and we found that the atmosphere in the hall was wrong. When we looked carefully, there was an extra person, a very mature-looking elf woman.
Her long soft golden hair was tied up high, with two oak hairpins intertwined in the bun. She had fair skin, a delicate face, and a pair of long pointed ears, even longer than Emily's. Hanging was a pair of gold round earrings. The earrings were extremely large, almost the same as a bracelet. I couldn't help but worry that these earrings would tear her earlobes.
After looking at the woman twice, I asked Emily in a low voice: "Do you know her?"
Emily shook her head slightly.
As soon as I was about to step forward to say hello, the female elf stood up first, with a polite smile on her face, nodded to me, and said, "I have met Elder An Xiaoyi."
I returned the favor politely and asked, "May I ask why you came to my house?"
The female elf nodded and said in a deep voice: "I apologize for taking the liberty of coming here. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sosia, and I am the owner of the Moonlight Tavern."
I have certainly heard of the name Moonlight Tavern, but its store is not small, but it is very deserted. There are only a dozen or so people sitting and drinking every day, and most of them are regulars. Naturally, I will not take it seriously for such an unprofitable tavern. thing.
Unexpectedly, the owner of Moonlight Tavern came to visit today. Is it because he can no longer operate and plans to borrow money to revive his business? Or do you want to sell the Moonlight Tavern to me? Or are you planning to do joint business with my cafe?
A series of questions emerged in my mind. I pondered for a moment and asked: "It turns out to be the owner of the Moonlight Tavern. I have admired you for a long time. I would like to ask if you are here today to discuss business matters, or..."
"It has nothing to do with business," Sosia said with a smile, "I'm here to send an invitation letter."
"Invitation letter?" I rolled my eyes: "Is the Moonlight Tavern going to open a branch?"
"No," Sosia shook her head and said, "It's an invitation to Ms. Bai Yunying and Ms. Emily to come to the Moonlight Tavern for a discussion."
My eyebrows trembled and I blurted out: "A trial and competition of national strength?"
Sosia stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that Elder An Xiaoyi already knows about this. Achilles must have told you."
"So what Achilles said was true," I murmured.
Sosia whispered a spell, and an exquisite invitation slowly appeared in her palm. She stretched out her delicate hand, handed the invitation to Emily, and said: "Ms. Emily, I invite you to participate in the name of the national power of Moonlight City." Do you plan to accept or reject the trial and competition?"
"I accept" Emily said without thinking.
Taking the invitation solemnly, Emily held it tightly in her hand and asked, "When will this competition start?"
"Three days later in the morning" Sosia said lightly: "At the Moonlight Tavern."
After seeing Sosia off, we sat around the hall, staring at the two invitations on the coffee table without saying a word.
Yura, whose eyes were wide-eyed, was the first to speak: "I have only heard that national power would invite potential newcomers to undergo competition tests. I didn't expect this to be true!"
"I've heard of it too," Cagalli said, "I just haven't seen it before."
"I've seen it," Princess Aurora said softly.
"Ha, have you seen the competition test?" Cagalli asked: "When and where?"
"Yes." Princess Aurora recalled it for a moment, then murmured a few words to Mi Lulu in a low voice. After confirming, she nodded and said, "The most recent time was two years and three months ago. My father took me there." Go."
"How about it?" I asked, "Will the competition test be cruel?"
"It's not that cruel, it's just very intense," Princess Aurora said: "It's very common for test subjects to suffer minor or serious injuries, but no one has died."
