58. Poor Brave Man
Compared to the first two trials, the rules of the last trial are obviously much simpler... It's a one-on-one elimination system with a draw. Since there is no ranking difference, there is no need to worry about losing. However, it is obvious that even if you want to show yourself, winning and moving on to the next round is undoubtedly the best way. Therefore, each knight is immediately eager to fight.
Amy was also in the crowd. After half an hour's rest, she was full of fighting spirit. Even the soul gem on her chest emitted a faint glow, as if cheering her on.
"Now we will begin the drawing of lots. Knights, please come up on stage one by one!"
The referee announced the order of the draw, and Amy only then realized that there were originally hundreds of knights but now there were only less than a hundred people. Everyone was standing there in high spirits, and began to draw lots one by one following the referee's words. Amy naturally walked among the crowd and was followed by Xiaotang. Obviously, she no longer had the mood to talk as before, but was a little nervous and even her breathing became heavier.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Hearing the increasingly heavy breathing beside her, Amy immediately turned her head and asked with concern, to which Xiaotang quickly replied:
"No...it's okay, I'm just a little too excited!"
"Wow...Okay, then you just watch your step and I'll adjust. Being too excited is the easiest way to make mistakes!"
"Yeah, I will!"
Amy smiled and didn't pay attention to the slightly strange tone in Xiaotang's answer. She immediately walked forward. At the same time, the discussion in the audience seats sounded again:
"Hey, hey, hey... Where are Jack the Ripper... and the Blood Knight? Why can't we see them?"
"How should I know? They've probably all been eliminated!"
"How is that possible? Didn't you just see it? Putting aside the Blood Knight, Jack the Ripper was the one who killed the Master of the Labyrinth. How could he be eliminated unless he forfeited?"
"Maybe he just gave up! After all, if someone like that really became a Guardian Knight... who knows if he'd turn against the Hero and the others on the battlefield!"
"makes sense……"
"You can't say that. Maybe they are hiding in the crowd right now!"
"Well~~ That's true. After all, both the Blood Knight and Jack the Ripper seem to be hiding their identities. The Blood Knight has armor, and Jack the Ripper has barrier magic. Maybe they're hiding among these contestants right now!"
"It's possible. After all, neither the Blood Knight nor the Ripper has ever revealed their true appearance except during the competition!"
"..."
The sound of discussions echoed throughout the entire arena. Even the brave team on the platform seemed to be searching among the crowd for the two extremely active figures in the maze. However, as mentioned in the previous discussion, no one knew who the Blood Knight without his armor was, and the mysterious Ripper was shrouded in a layer of illusion magic. Therefore, no one knew what he really looked like, so it was obviously impossible to find him.
"Blood Knight... I didn't expect Ai Xue to be so lucky to find such a strong opponent!"
Unlike the audience below, they naturally knew that Amy, who was previously in the maze and was known as the Blood Knight, was the person chosen by Ai Xue. Therefore, they naturally glanced at Ai Xue with envy and jealousy. Of course, there was no malice in their eyes, it was just a simple envy. Ai Xue also showed a rare look of pride, without being too humble:
"That's right, my little...my knight is the strongest!"
Well, the extremely boastful and asking-for-a-beaten tone immediately made everyone grit their teeth, and then as if by tacit understanding, all their eyes fell on Zun Tian who was standing aside... Sure enough, they saw the other party's increasingly ugly expression.
It's no secret that Zuntian likes Ai Xue. After all, he has openly pursued her. Therefore, there are many examples of the brave team joking about the two of them. However, every time Zuntian looks like he wants the joke to come true, but Ai Xue always smiles... She really treats it as a joke and never intends to make it come true.
At first, everyone thought that it was just her nature. After all, the hero was the designated savior of the continent. Anyone who could reject the hero's proposal of love must be either emotionless or just like girls... Until now, after meeting the Blood Knight, they realized... this beauty is already taken!
What's more important is that this master seems to be quite powerful, and it is said that he seems to have a close relationship with Ai Xue. No wonder Zuntian is not his opponent... Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zuntian with a little sympathy.
Although Zun Tianren was a bit arrogant and immature, he was still a kind and good young man. Of course, lust was obviously not encouraged, but putting aside the fact that this world was polygamous, it was normal for him, as a hero, to have a few female confidantes... It was just a pity that this king of girls, who could be said to be invincible, had fallen into the hands of Ai Xue and the Blood Knight. This was really...
Well, just take a look, just take a look, and cut a melon by the way!
“…Tsk~”
As if sensing the mixed feelings of sympathy and anticipation, Zuntian blushed slightly, clearly feeling embarrassed. He snorted in displeasure and glanced around the crowd once more. Not finding the Blood Knight, he couldn't help but think to himself,
"Just hide. I don't believe you won't put on that bug-like armor of yours when we're one-on-one later. When I find you... I'll take a good look and see if you're worthy of Ai Xue!"
His eyes were filled with a strong sense of unwillingness to admit defeat. He was a brave warrior, the savior of this world. How could he possibly lose to a knight who appeared out of nowhere? Absolutely impossible!
The discussion in the stands was heated, and the people on the field were equally enthusiastic. As the knights finished drawing lots one by one, it was soon Amy's turn. However, Amy stood there in a daze. After a long while, Xiaotang beside her suddenly asked:
"Hey, little Amy? What's wrong with you? It's your turn to draw lots!"
As she said this, Amy showed a somewhat distressed expression on her face. She immediately turned her head and said to Xiaotang apologetically:
"Um...Xiaotang, can you...take me up there to draw a lot?"
The emotional line can sense the flow of the life line, thereby determining the location of the life form, while the beast intuition can prevent danger. However, in the final analysis... Amy is still blind!
She...can't see where the lottery table is!
59. What to be found
(There is something I am thinking about how to add in... Hmm... Good stuff!)
"Uh... yes, you can, but... why?"
Amy's sudden request made Xiaotang slightly stunned. Although she agreed, she couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression. Amy couldn't see but could hear it from the other party's tone. She immediately smiled and pointed to her eyes, saying without hesitation:
"Um... I forgot to tell you, my eyes... can't see!"
Previously, she had been able to determine Xiaotang's location because she could always see Xiaotang's 'line', which in turn made her misunderstand the fact that she could see. Furthermore, the time she had communicated with Xiaotang was only the interval between two trials, so naturally there were some misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, and then...
"What the hell! What the hell is this! I can't see it?!"
The sudden roar instantly attracted the attention of most of the knights around. The next moment, Xiaotang realized what he had said. He immediately covered his mouth and leaned forward to carefully examine Amy's blinking eyes. He immediately stretched out his hand and waved it with curiosity, then asked:
"Um...really can't see?"
“Well, I really can’t see it!”
Being able to feel the other party's line in the east, Amy could probably sense what the other party was doing, and immediately smiled and answered very frankly.
"No, this... forget it, let's draw lots first, and we'll talk about it later!"
It seemed like she wanted to say something, but after taking a look at the referee and the curious eyes around her, Xiaotang said this immediately, and then seemed to unintentionally pull Amy and walk directly towards the draw table.
"Just walk forward, four steps, then reach out and you'll touch it!"
After bringing Amy closer and giving her a whispered reminder, Amy nodded in understanding. Although she didn't mind being discovered by people around her that she was blind, that would obviously have an impact on the subsequent competition, and Amy was obviously not very happy about it... What she wanted to show was her true strength level, not the sympathy of other knights!
"Number 32, please step down!"
After following Xiaotang's instructions and successfully drawing her own lot, Amy immediately walked back down the stage and then returned to the preparation area, following her memory. Meanwhile, Xiaotang also quickly and casually drew her lot and then came to Amy again, and then...
"Be honest!"
The words that came out of his mouth were like an interrogation, and the serious tone made Amy laugh:
"Explain what?"
"About your eyes. If you really can't see, then what happened in the previous battle? And since your eyes... why did you still become a knight? Everything... Explain everything to me clearly!"
With both hands excitedly grasping Amy's shoulders, Xiaotang immediately said this in a deliberately subdued tone of excitement. Amy was also a little dizzy from the shaking, and immediately replied hurriedly:
"One... one by one... wait... wait, don't be anxious, don't be anxious... I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Amy felt a little dizzy after being shaken. After Xiaotang finally calmed down, she sorted out her words and said without hiding anything:
"Actually, there's not much to explain. First of all, it's absolutely true that I can't see, but to some extent, I can see... well, to be more precise, I can see living things... For example, I can see clearly your attempt to secretly pull out my hair right now!"
With the big roll of eyes, Xiaotang immediately withdrew her hands in embarrassment. In fact, she was still very fond of Amy's long pink hair and had wanted to touch it for a long time!
"What was that fight about? You were... No, when I saw you fighting that Ripper before, your reaction didn't seem like that of a blind man!"
Such sharp fighting instincts, such light yet honed movements, it's not something a blind person can do!
"Ah... well, it's probably my body's instinctive memory, or some kind of battle intuition... maybe I was actually very strong in the past!"
Amy explained in an uncertain tone.
"Probably? Or? What the hell?"
Xiaotang was obviously not satisfied with the uncertainty in her tone, but Amy didn't care and said casually:
"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I don't have any memories of what happened a year ago!"
"No...why do you have amnesia? What's wrong with you?"
The complaint that came out of his mouth instantly earned him another eye roll from Amy:
"Can you speak? You're the one with the problem...or rather, if we're talking about a problem, it's obviously more serious than mine!"
The seemingly ambiguous words made Xiaotang speechless for a while. After a long time, she said:
"Well then... you... you..."
After you had been talking for a long time without being able to come up with anything, Amy immediately interrupted:
"So, do you have any questions? If you can't remember, just wait until you do. By the way, the next match is yours!"
The referee had already started calling numbers, but this guy was still dwelling on these things. It wasn't until Amy reminded him that she suddenly realized what was happening and immediately said:
"Then I'm off to the game. See you later!"
"Well, see you later!"
With that said, Xiaotang hurriedly ran towards the competition field. Amy, however, had no intention of watching the game because she couldn't see. Instead, she just sat there and closed her eyes. The next second, her consciousness slowly sank into a strange white space.
That was a space that was accidentally opened after she obtained the Amazons armor. In it was a vast white scene like the one in front of her. There was nothing there, but Amy always felt that there seemed to be something here. Therefore, when her consciousness entered it at this moment, she immediately wanted to find it out... Although she didn't know what it was, her subconscious told her clearly... It was a very important thing, and she... must find it!
"So what exactly is it..."
The strange thing was that in this white space, Amy found that she could actually see things. However, all she could see was the white in front of her and her own shadow under her feet. It has to be said that this was a little disappointing!
60. Broken Contract
So was it my summoning mistake... or was it a failure?
Long, bright silver hair stretched from head to ankle, reflecting a faint light. The bright red eyes with a hint of gold blinked with confusion and bewilderment. If you looked closely, you could even see tiny tears in them.
He was about 1.23 meters tall, and could stand upright even in this small cell. His face, which was more cute than beautiful, yawned loudly, and then he began to look at his body as if he was very curious.
He looked here and there as if he had just gained a body, and even put his fingers in his mouth and sucked on them, and then...
"Unappetizing……"
Nonsense, of course my own fingers can’t taste good!
It was a completely instinctive thought to complain. Seeing the girl in front of her who was probably less than ten years old, wearing only a loose top like a dress, revealing a pair of smooth legs, Leisa felt that for a moment she really... wanted to cover her face!
Well, to be exact, she was covering her nose. After all, when she was looking at the other person just now, an evil wind came from nowhere and blew the other person's clothes, and then she saw something she shouldn't have seen... Well, it felt like something was awakening all of a sudden!
"Ah~~ I'm a little hungry..."
She sniffed, then touched her belly, making such a cute sound. She looked around and didn't see anything edible. Her eyes immediately turned and fell on the only figure in the cell at the moment: Leisa.
“Tap tap tap~~”
The bare feet stepped carelessly on the cold ground, and Lesa felt a sudden pang of pain, but the other party didn't care at all and ran straight to her. Then he blinked a pair of pitiful eyes and looked at her:
"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"
Completely ignoring the surrounding atmosphere, and not noticing that Resa was currently restrained, as soon as she opened her mouth to say this, Resa's face flushed again, and she could only shake her head helplessly:
"Sorry, I don't have anything to eat!"
She is now a prisoner. Not only has she lost her magic power, but all her magic props have also been looted. It can be said that she is completely penniless. Food and other things... except for her own flesh, she really has nothing!
"Woo~~ I'm so hungry... so hungry... so hungry~~"
A voice filled with resentment suddenly emanated from her mouth, like a spoiled child's cry, which made Resa feel guilty from the bottom of her heart... Not being able to feed such a cute little sister was a heinous crime... No, why would she have such a thought?!
You have to know that Resa only looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, but in fact she is not like that. With decades of military experience and the iron will she has cultivated for revenge, how could she be so easily influenced by a little girl... At this moment, she instantly recovered from the inexplicable heartache just now, and when she raised her head again to look at the little girl in front of her, there was already a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"I'm hungry~~~"
It seemed that she had not noticed Resa's vigilance and alertness towards her. The little silver-haired girl was still communicating with her childish voice, but at this moment, Resa suddenly spoke:
"If you want to eat...it's not impossible!"
"Hey? Where? Where's the food?"
The last time she ate seemed like a long time ago, and at that time she was not eating with her own body, so she had long missed the taste of food. When she heard that Leisa had a way to give her food, she immediately flashed in front of her, and her cute big eyes looked at Leisa brightly.
"..."
Calm down, calm down, Leisa... Don't be tempted. The other party is a devil. He will definitely not look like this. This is definitely a conspiracy... Yes, this is a trap. You must hold back and not be distracted by "beauty". You must make the most rational judgment... Yes, be rational!
"You were summoned by me, so you must listen to me!"
First try to see if the contract is useful. After all, it is a demon summoned by her own demon-slaying. Therefore, when Lessa moved her wrist, a fiery red rune instantly appeared on the back of her hand. She saw it and touched her heart. She always felt that the rune in front of her seemed to have some connection with herself. What is that?
She immediately began searching her memory, and after thinking for a while, she finally revealed an expression of sudden realization:
"I know, you are... Master! Master, Master, Master!"
