Black sail

Chapter 557 CXCI. The most luxurious year

The Arena Hotel is a closed area specially built for contestants, which are also divided into those with criminal history and those without criminal history.

The suspicious persons to be identified and the wanted criminals are in the same area, so the security is relatively tighter.

People with no criminal history must also stay in this closed area, but the activity space is larger. Press conferences can even be held in an empty outdoor landscape shed.

"Some people say that you used to work for Dollinger. Is that true?"

A reporter asked a very sharp question.

Quinlan was very embarrassed. Although he tried to keep a low profile, he could not resist the makeup artist's constant nagging.

"I don't quite understand your logic. Living in Port of Heaven for a while means I work for Dollinger, right? In that case, all the ship merchants and adventurers in the East China Sea would have to beg for food from Dollinger, which would also be considered working for him?"

The sorceress, who was wearing a leather collar around her neck and was dressed quite fashionably, answered the questions for Quinlan. She rolled her eyes, picked up the cup of fruit tea impatiently, and took a sip while biting the straw.

Kunlan was speechless. It would be more appropriate to let her handle it. After all, he was more realistic. Compared with other contestants who were worried and had their own agenda, he came to the royal court with the purest intention of earning a living by being an official. As long as he could make it into the top 100, he would just have to admit defeat.

The mainland martial arts competition is of high quality. The top 9 of No. must be a gathering of contemporary heroes, all of whom are outstanding people. He is not very sure.

"I understand! Quinlan thinks Dorian is not as good as Lister! Dorian was not worthy of the position, so he was deprived of the position of overlord. Quinlan is ten times better than Dorian."

A crazy-looking male reporter was writing furiously.

"Hey!"

Quinlan wanted to stop it.

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between this lady and the seeded champion, Quinlan? Are they a couple?"

The gossip soul of the female reporter is burning.

“I don’t think so…”

The sorceress also looked at Quinlan meaningfully.

"I understand! Kunlan's private life is in chaos! His essence is leaking a lot, I'm afraid he won't be able to win the first place in the martial arts competition!"

The crazy male reporter wrote furiously.

"What are you writing!"

The sorceress was also angry!

"I understand! Quinlan and his secret lover are acting like big shots!"

A crazy man is writing enthusiastically.

"No buddy, that's not a good way to write. Which newspaper are you from? Are you from the Adventurer's Guild?"

Kunlan was speechless. To enter the closed area of ​​the Arena Hotel, one had to submit an application to the organizer, the Alan Ministry of Culture, and only enter with an identity badge.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this somewhat neurotic reporter was from the Adventurer's Guild.

"I understand! Kunlan doubts the strength of the adventurers. The hall-level adventurers are all minions. The adventurers who come to participate in the martial arts competition this time can be killed at will by the magic sword Xiaolong."

Crazy book.

Kunlan will be screwed, and if you were in the East China Sea, I would chop off your head on the spot and drink it with wine.

Xiaolong, nicknamed Divine Sword, also came from the Far East. He is the most ruthless adventurer in the hall today. In terms of fame and mission records, he can be ranked at the top of the guild.

Also came to participate in this mainland martial arts competition.

The guild published a very popular book, "Basic Sword Skills Manual", which was compiled by him.

If the Perfect World is moved to the Western Continent, this book would be the Western Continent Swordsman version of "The Original True Explanation". The new generation is praised as the person who is most likely to defeat the Sword King, and they are all more aggressive, exaggerating and even using the word "God".

I am humble, even pretentious, and once said that if my level can be called a divine sword, then what should the next level be called?
He was pretending to be so cool, as if he could use Bankai, Hollowify, and finally use Crescent Moon Sky Strike to kill Yhwach in one second.

Quinlan is too tired to complain, let them do whatever they want.

This year's finals lineup is very luxurious. One is a great man who can talk about everything, that is a tough guy who can develop the Kola super-deep drilling, and the others are also great gods who are billions of light years away in knowledge.

Anyway, the newspapers exaggerate the event every year and every year there is hope of surpassing the first session.

And the Arena Hotel, a room that was not impressive at all.

There was no press conference.

Only one of Akaza's students understood that this year's value would definitely surpass the first year because of this person's joining.

"What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and dressed like a scholar questioned the person sitting in the corner of the room.

They used their connections to try their best to cover up the existence of this person. There was no reception, no messy makeup artists, and all the royal city troops nearby were driven away.

It's just because this person is involved with Akasa.

The middle-aged man, who is a student of Akaza, came to persuade Sackhead to retreat. He was the nameless axe executioner of Forgotten Port, the independent city where the Cross Alliance is located.

The time of life is no shorter than that of Akaza.

Because the teacher's experiments sometimes require materials that ordinary people cannot get, and he even has to go deep into unmanned restricted areas to get the corpses of ancient ferocious beasts as materials.

There are not many people who can be asked for help, and it is useless for a top-level adventurer to encounter dangerous things in the restricted area. Sackhead happens to be one of them.

Every nine hundred years, the power of the Jue Tian Di Tong weakens, and the door to the other dimension begins to become unstable, with many cracks appearing.

Eleven years ago, in the Northern Prison, taking advantage of the instability, many races from different dimensions were transferred in. One of the races looked similar to the people of the Western Continent. They were very magical material and possessed amazing intelligence.

The teacher was also a little anxious at the first moment, as this kind of material was rare. In the past three years, he had been asking Sackhead to hunt down or kill those escaped materials.

In order to prevent the secret experiment from being exposed, anyone involved with these materials must be killed.

It was only because Raglan, who also found a way to leave the prison, was willing to come back and cooperate with Akasa after seeing the wonders of this world.

The incident was briefly settled, and Sackhead, who had no work to do, returned to Forgotten Port and resumed his old business.

This time, Akassa did not summon Sackhead. It was Sackhead who came to the capital of Alan for some reason himself, which was quite unusual.

The sack-headed man has a weird skeleton structure, taller than a stage actor, and is sickly tall, like a stick insect. He carries an execution axe that looks like a sickle, and really looks like the god of death. He always wears a full leather coat with blood stains that have dried up countless times, and a black sack on his head, so you can't see his appearance at all.

You were regarded as a monster and were driven out of the mainland for a martial arts competition. No matter how strong you are, your appearance is a very important advantage. You can be seen as a heretic at first glance, which is disrespectful in front of the king.

It's just that his connections were too strong. With Akasa's documents, he was directly admitted to the finals. Even the Ministry of Culture had to bow to Akasa. A small secluded person can hide in the wild, a great secluded person can hide in the court.

In addition, the Ministry of Culture knows very well that if it were not for this great Buddha at the forefront, there would be no Ministry of Culture at all, and it would be replaced by the Art and Culture Corps. Akassar is also a big reason why all the court sorcerers, alchemists, etc. in the royal court have not been infiltrated by the military.

On the surface, Akasa is just an ordinary court sorcerer and medical consultant of the Northern Prison. Although his position does not seem to be very high, and many people don’t even know his name, he actually has a lot of say. He is second only to Augustus, the acting chairman of the Military Committee, and Cicero, the president of the National Bank. He can be regarded as the invisible fourth seat.

This sign is very dangerous, but Akassar also understands it. He doesn't care much about politics and never uses the resources of the royal court. He asks outsiders to do any troublesome things. It doesn't matter who the monarch is. I just want to be a court sorcerer. I am one of the few remnants of the previous dynasty who were not killed by the emperor. The drawbacks of the military government have also been taken into consideration. Without these scholars, the Eternal Sect can be slightly weakened, and the Dragon Lord's lackeys will become more rampant.

The King of Magic of the Tower Alliance seems to be unrivaled in knowledge and magical powers, but he is not necessarily stronger than Akassar.

"Can I say something?"
