As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

The people of the Holy Empire are not so stupid as to allow such a prince to inherit the foundation accumulated by the Holy Empire over thousands of years.

"So... together?"

Lilina took off her mask and showed a rare smile on her face.

It seemed that this situation was completely within her plan.

After all, the purpose of her coming here this time was to find out the situation of Morning Star for Inissa.

Of course, she also hoped that...the man her best friend was dating would not be someone like Maxi.

She wanted to find out what kind of person the other person was, and she didn't want to be disturbed by others.

"Sorry, I already have a 'female companion'. Miss Sanctuary Judge, please go find someone else."

Chenxing shrugged, and took Ye Yue and Preciel into his arms, still not giving them any chance.

Not to mention that Lilina's act of taking advantage of me to get rid of Maxi has already caused me to suffer a loss.

This person who comes up to me on his own initiative...can't be anything good.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Chenxing doesn't think he is really charming. Even women of the level of the Holy Trial would be unable to walk when they see him.

Lilina definitely came over here for some special purpose.

It is even possible to obtain intelligence from the Kingdom of Grulith on behalf of the Holy Kingdom.

A mere Trial in the Holy Temple, isn't that too little?

This time, Morning Star stood in the atmosphere.

Seeing Chenxing striding in with his arms around the two women, Lilina frowned visibly.

Should we say that all men have the same character or...

I really don’t know what my best friend would think if she saw this scene.

but......

Still up for debate.

It is somewhat hasty to judge others just because of one thing.

What's more, Lilina also wanted to know what kind of ability this man who Inessa said would stand at the top of the world sooner or later had to make her best friend so fascinated.

Thinking of the life-size doll of Morning Star in the room where she and Inissa lived together, Lilina's face became increasingly worse.

Lilina even felt that compared with men, her best friend was more "vulgar".

As most people continued to enter the factory, Filius, the person in charge of this arena competition, slowly walked onto the arena.

Looking at the packed seats around him, Filius quickly noticed the Morning Star in the front row.

Even though Melody, the vice president, claimed that this Morning Star was definitely extraordinary, looking at his ordinary attire...

He didn't have any magic items on him, and even the long sword at his waist didn't look like a very special weapon.

The other party is really like what Melody said...

Is he the same kind of person as the legendary hero, the First Trial of the Templars?

"Cough cough..."

After paying attention to the time, Filius temporarily put aside all the questions in his mind.

The most important thing is to complete this arena competition safely.

Following a light cough, the entire arena suddenly became quiet.

This is the value of the Adventurer's Guild in this world.

Even Morning Star was curious about who founded this guild.

After all, there wasn’t much description of the Adventurer’s Guild in the original game plot.

There are even fewer related tasks.

But seeing that Maxi has restrained his arrogant temper, it is hard not to doubt the strength of the "mastermind" behind the Adventurer's Guild.

"First of all... Thank you very much for coming, adventurers. I believe you all know something about this annual arena competition, and this time... the rules of the arena competition have actually been modified to a certain extent..."

When Filius said this, many people present also frowned.

Have the rules of the arena competition been changed?

How come there has never been any news?

Or is it just the Black Sand Castle that was modified? But...it has been going on for so many years, why modify it at this time?

And when there are changes, there will naturally be...controversy.

"Isn't it a bit unfair to do this?"

"Yes! I spent a lot of money to buy equipment for this competition! And now the rules are suddenly changed..."

"Obviously, there are no announcements of rule changes in other arena competitions, so why is Black Sand Castle so special?"

For a while, arguments and noisy voices came one after another.

Although the majority of the voices were quarreling, those who were truly confident in their own abilities remained silent.

Because they all know that no matter how the rules change, one's own strength is the most important.

Would a truly strong person become completely unable to adapt because of one or two rule changes?

Even Maxi just sneered and glanced at the noisy crowd, his eyes full of disdain.

Standing in the center, enduring all of this, Filius even remained calm, with a kind-looking smile on his face.

Chen Xing was quite impressed by this performance.

What a pity, if only people like this could be accepted into the Grullite Kingdom...

Chapter 38: Dragon Falling Canyon

The sounds of quarreling continued, but gradually became weaker.

Looking at Filius who was standing in the center and looking around at everyone with a smile, the people who had just been arguing swallowed subconsciously.

The fear in his eyes... was hard to conceal.

"Everyone...are you done with your discussion? Once you're done, I'll continue explaining the revised rules."

Filius asked with a smile.

This time, no one responded.

There is only one reason, this seemingly weak girl actually has the entire Adventurer's Guild standing behind her.

An Adventurer's Guild that even the Holy Empire doesn't dare to provoke.

"Regarding the rules this time, the specific process is still the same as last time. We will use drawing lots to divide the groups. Four people will compete in a group battle first. The second round will be the same as before. The winning team will have an internal battle. The only qualifier will have a one-on-one elimination battle in the final round. However, the location of this team battle is no longer the bottom of Brokeback Mountain, but..."

As Filius explained, his expression became noticeably more serious.

In fact, even she didn't understand why Vice President Melody secretly changed the arena competition rules here in Black Sand Castle.

For that Morning Star?

But doing this won't help the Morning Star at all, right?

Instead, it made this arena competition...more than twice as difficult.

In previous years' arena competitions, the winning standard was simply the number of monsters hunted under the cliffs of Brokeback Mountain.

But this time...

"Next to the Elf Forest... the Falling Dragon Canyon!"

As soon as Filius finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

Falling Dragon Canyon?

That place is... the ancient battlefield where the first generation of the Holy Tribunal wiped out the last habitat of the dragon clan.

There have even been rumors that...

The dragons were not completely extinct.

The few dragons that survived in the end hid in the Falling Dragon Canyon.

Not only that, because of bathing in dragon's blood.

All the magical beasts in the entire Falling Dragon Canyon have more or less undergone a certain degree of bloodline evolution.

Some of them even mastered ancient magic that was originally only mastered by dragons.

Such a dangerous environment...

"Aren't you sending us to our deaths?"

As the first person stood up, the quarreling started again.

The Falling Dragon Canyon does indeed hide treasures lost by the dragon clan.

But the prerequisite for obtaining the treasure is that you must have the life to do it.

Only the elite troops of each country go in to explore. Letting them go is just sending them to their deaths.

Listening to the "condemnations", Filius looked towards the top of the arena with a headache.

Still wearing a robe to conceal her identity...Melody.

I really don't know what the vice president is thinking.

Isn't it clear that changing the rules in this way is intended to eliminate all unqualified people before the competition begins?

If other organizations do this, it is also normal.

But for an organization of the size of the Adventurer's Guild...

It is inevitable that there will be gossip.

"Opportunities and risks always coexist, right?"

Noticing that the argument was growing louder, Melody sighed helplessly and could only speak slowly.

People nowadays don't even dare to take this little risk, yet still want to take advantage of everything.

Little do people know that the current environment, even the Dragon Falling Canyon, is like a greenhouse compared to the era when giant dragons flew everywhere and angels and demons coexisted.

It is precisely because they have lived in the greenhouse for a long time that their awareness of danger has become lower and lower.

On the surface, the world seems to be thriving, but...

"If you can't even pass the Dragonfall Canyon, do you think... you can get the wealth and glory at the end of this arena?"

Melody's two sentences also made most people subconsciously shift their attention.

Those who were about to say something noticed the eye-catching special emblem of the Adventurer's Guild on Melody's robe, and they all fell silent for a moment.

That badge...

That is......

Only the high-ranking members of the Adventurer's Guild are qualified to wear it...

There are actually high-ranking members of the Adventurer's Guild coming to Black Sand Castle, a chaotic place where all races gather?

Could it be that this sudden change was instructed by the top leaders of the Adventurer's Guild?

Thinking of this, no one dared to ask any more questions.

Putting aside the other party's special identity, what he said... makes sense.

If you can't even get through the Falling Dragon Canyon, can you really get the wealth and glory you dream of by luck alone?

But among all the people present, only Chenxing cared more...

Who is that person under the robe?
