Felder lowered his head embarrassedly, this old man was thick-skinned, and the general ridicule had no effect at all.

"Alger, I used to think that you and Felder were different, but now it seems that there is no difference, cheeky to receive a salary, even when I lost my memory, I didn't fall behind, and now there is no improvement at all, is it sick? Hmm, I guess it's a disease called laziness, and it was infected by Felder, right? Li Yi pointed his finger at another spirit.

"The custom of the ancient spirit, the longer I stay in a certain level card, the more room for improvement, I can become a gold-level spirit at any time, but if I am stuck in the green level, I will get more benefits." Alger immediately looked at his nose and his nose at his heart.

"Anyway, if you encounter a strong enemy, everyone will be finished together, so you can be naughty." Li Yi simply didn't care.

"Guys, a lot has happened before and after, we used to doubt each other, we used to go through hardships together, but time tested us, and we passed, and now sitting together is proof of doing a good job, so now we don't need to doubt, just move forward together, hesitation, doubt? No, no, there can't be anything like that, it's time to cheer up! Li Yi did a dry mobilization, but with little effect, these guys have their own ideas, and they are not young people who are easily excited, so it is difficult to motivate them.

"What about your enthusiasm?" Li Yi shook his head.

Isabella burst out of heartless laughter again, "What age is it, it's still enthusiastic, the more that kind of thing you have, the faster you die." ”

Pompeii, the largest city on the continent in terms of city-state area, is as big as three or four red rock city-states, and on the central axis are the palace of the Pompeii Empire, the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Council, and the Imperial College is in the center of the city-state, and its status is self-evident.

Seeing the wide moat and the blue-black ancient city wall that is dozens of feet high, the lion head carving on the city wall overlooks the bottom with a cold gaze, and the heavy iron gate is densely covered with spikes, this ancient and magnificent majesty is vividly expressed.

Li Yi went to the Sky Academy to see Edmund before, and asked Andelu to wait at the big hotel outside the city, but when he went out of the city, he met Su Wen, and after some chase and amnesia, he looked back, but found no trace of him, but there should be no problem.

The first impression of Pompeii is that of affluence, and the faces of ordinary people are shining with happiness, which only the faces of those who are well fed and drunk and have nothing to do, and the high welfare must bring about regional discrimination, discrimination against foreigners who want to be a member of the city, thinking that they will take their share of the welfare, as if they were stealing from them.

As soon as Li Yi entered the city, he felt this kind of gaze, that kind of indifferent disdain, and the atmosphere that was not hospitable at all made him very uncomfortable. Even if this place is magnificent, and there are many high-rise buildings, the distance between people and people is not at all narrowed by affluence, but on the contrary, the parties are united, and they are suspicious of each other, and if people think about others with their own ideas, then everyone else is disgusting and hated except themselves.

"These Pompeians, who don't know where their self-righteous superiority comes from, are like dung beetles holding dung balls, thinking that the eagles in the sky will snatch the." Li Yi sneered disdainfully, looking at the noon, he was hungry, and he really wanted to take out some food from the ring, but there was a smell of fragrance wafting from the street.

"I used to hear that the noodle soup in the city-state of Pompeii was very delicious, but now that I have experienced it myself, I feel like tasting it." Li Yi's index finger moved and decided to give it a try.

"I want a noodle soup with sauce."

"Four." The chef who was immersed in scooping the soup didn't lift his head.

Li Yi discharged four copper coins, but the people inside did not accept them. just looked at him with disdain, and only after a while did he speak: "Four silver coins, hillbilly, foreigners are poor, and it is estimated that they can't save four silver coins a month." ”

"Really? Four silver coins. Li Yi thought about it, and took out four more silver coins, the words of the person inside did not affect him, there are always some guys in this world who like to look for death, and it is too laborious to kill them one by one, and it also destroys appetite.

"Yo, the hillbilly has saved up enough four silver coins, so it's already ready, right? I first used four copper plates to cheat a bowl of noodles, but after being looked down upon, I immediately took out a silver coin. The man refused to give up, thinking that he had lost face.

Felder immediately took out a gold-level firearm and fired a shot at the man's face, and immediately it was a mess, and the noodles could not be eaten.

"You're sick, can't you wait for me to finish eating noodles before you worry about it?" Li Yi was furious.

"I don't have the patience you have, so let's go eat this damn noodle instead." Felder shrugged.

The city guards were drawn in by a huge commotion, and it was nothing short of a terrorist attack.

At this time, the person was already standing in front of Cassius. Paul had been there for a long time, and unexpectedly, he was almost twice as neat, except for the cynicism in his eyes that did not dissipate, he took a shower, trimmed his face, changed his short hair, looked very fresh, and looked like a high school student in a plaid shirt and jeans.

Seeing Li Yi walk in, Cassius, who was sitting behind the large pure black desk, stood up with a smile to greet him.

"You're here."

"Why not?" Li Yi looked around, this was a high-end villa of the Imperial Academy, with a black masonry structure and a zigzag layout, in front of which was a field of purple tulips, and rows of delicate buds and leaves grew on the fertile black soil.

"I'm still used to talking about business at the dinner table, let's start eating!" Cassius snapped his fingers, and several servants walked in.

"Eat, eat, I'm going to starve!" Paul screamed, and the dress and shower had brought Sven vanished without a trace.

Seeing the long table again, the food was very rich, and Li Yi just solved the lunch.

"What I call a big plan is actually an existential stake for me." Cassius's face was solemn, and the hand holding the fork trembled slightly.

"Well, this shrimp soup is delicious, and it feels very good to eat it with bread." Paul grinned, squatted in the chair, and loosened his trouser belt, in order to let go of his stomach, it was really ugly.

"It's a disgusting thing to eat with you." Cassius looked helpless.

"Survival? So I can take this opportunity to blackmail you? Li Yi asked thoughtfully.

"Well, this seems immoral, to be honest, we have also cooperated, and we have cooperated for a hundred days a day!" Cassius's expression was suddenly wonderful.

"Really? You can also enjoy the resources of the Academy, I just escaped from the Academy's pursuit, it's really unpleasant. Li Yi's face turned cold.

"Alas, in fact, neither of you will change your minds, I'll get to the point!"

The Imperial Academy is second to the first refers to Bruce, and then people think of the two heroes, Bruce and Cassius, all the time, Cassius is like Bruce's shadow being cultivated by the Academy, his strength is actually faintly more powerful than Bruce, the two are each other's rulers, competing with each other.

Cassius has always wanted to get rid of the shadow identity, he wants to replace the other party in the open, and he thinks that his talent is not weaker than his opponent.

"It turns out that your talent and strength are not weaker than that person, why does the academy still let you become the shadow of Bruce?" Li Yi was a little puzzled.

"Because, the spirit of the contract that the academy gave us at the beginning, his spirit can naturally suppress my spirit, specifically, the absolute wind realm formed by his three ethereal spirits is the nemesis of the absolute wind realm formed by my three ethereal spirits," Cassius was already angry, "Although I have a lot of resources, but I am also greatly restricted by the academy, even if my strength surpasses that of Bruce, I will still be suppressed, and it is doomed from the beginning." ”

"Isn't Imperial College afraid of your betrayal? I haven't been recognized, but I can't get the respect I deserve for my efforts," Li Yi picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, "Betraying the academy is a mess with me." ”

"If that were the case, I would have betrayed a long time ago, and the academy would have given me a chance to get rid of the identity of the shadow, this time, the battle for the top of Olympia." His noble air is filled with expectation and a strong conviction.

"Well, you're still making no secret of your ambitions, the Olympia Mountain Race, the name sounds like a gimmick, I just want to know, what can I get?" Li Yi put down his knife and fork and drank a cup of hot tea, indicating that he was full.

"You are so direct, but this also reassures me, if you win, my treasury, you are half of each of you, if you lose, I will kill myself, but I am also very grateful to you, my legacy, you are half of each of you." Cassius took off his rich robes, revealing a white robe and a short sword pinned to his waist.

"Okay, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, I am very moved by this condition, and you have shown enough sincerity." Li Yi applauded.

"I think it's not bad, but it's unpredictable to win or lose, don't blame us if you lose and kill yourself." Paul picked up a bunch of grapes and began to eat.

"You know what? Sometimes fate chooses you, but you don't know why, just like I don't know why I want to live as a shadow of Bruce, I've had enough of this life. Cassius waved his hand and withdrew from the feast.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with living as a shadow, and you don't have to surpass others when you're born, the purpose in your heart is the end, even if you surpass Bruce, you'll meet White Lanos, Red North, endless." Li Yi thought differently.

"I also know," Cassius smiled bitterly, "but I can't bear it, it's like wearing an ill-fitting garment and trying to take it off, I can't stand it in my heart, and if I don't pull it out, I'll die sooner or later." ”

"Well, it's your pleasure, I'm more looking forward to your vault, let's reveal it." Li Yi's eyes sparkled.

"Of course, my treasury does not have as many treasures as in Dark Rock City, and the things in your space ring must be far more valuable than the value of the ring itself, but they are very practical, such as a large number of memory fossils, spiritual power suppressants that are in great demand by the ancient spirits, and a treasure map about Pluto's Pupil of the Underworld, etc." Cassius pretended to be mysterious.

"Psychic suppressant?" Felder's eyes lit up, "You actually have such a thing, it's really uncomfortable to get stuck in the level with your own strength, the ancient memory inheritance, the solidification potion condensed by the moon essence is a spiritual power suppressant, which can help the ancient spirit to better get stuck in the level." ”

"What? Do you still want to get stuck at the green level? Damn, is there any special significance? Li Yi was furious.

"I don't know, the rules handed down from ancient times, you must be stuck in the green level, at least three or four years, I am afraid that if you are promoted to the peak of the green level, you will uncontrollably break through to the initial level of the gold level, so I chose the green level high level, it seems that Alger has the same idea, but when it is really dangerous, you can consider opening the self-seal in the body and promoting to a higher level." Felder said triumphantly.

"I don't know why you're so proud, it's really incomprehensible, you don't think it's a shame to not be able to beat others?"

"Anyway, there are Ruiman Silver Crossbow and Lang Well, they can save the day every time, so they just don't break through, and didn't you say it? Even if you beat Bruce, there will be more powerful White Lanos, Red North, endlessly. Felder was remarkable.

"Let me tell you about the rules of this Olympia summit competition," Cassius knocked on the table, poured Li Yi and Paul a cup of coffee each, and continued: "You all know Olympia Mountain, the Pompeii city-state leans on this sacred mountain, legend has it that in ancient times, the abode of the gods, the altitude is more than three thousand meters, and the height from the foot of the mountain to the summit is two thousand five hundred and sixty meters, I have climbed it with my bare hands, the terrain is not steep, and anyone who is a little physically strong can climb it, not to mention the explorers with spiritual protection, this competition, There are three explorers on each side, which means that Bruce's side will also find two helpers. ”

"Race hill climbing? I'm good at this! Paul slapped his thigh and rolled up his sleeve as if he was eager to try.

"It's not just climbing the mountain, in the middle of the game, we can snipe each other, the two teams are divided into the main and the wing, for example, our team, I am the master, you two are the wingmen, the master and the master can't attack each other, but you can fight Bruce, you can also fight Bruce's wing," Cassius said, "This is also a game where I think we can have a chance to win, if it is simply me and Bruce fighting, then it will definitely be lost." ”

"There are also some small rules, such as the battle can only be one-on-one, and the loser must return to the foot of the mountain to start climbing again, and when climbing, the spirit is not allowed to walk, and the whole process is guarded and guarded by the purple-level spirit, so there is no need to worry about the safety of life, if the sum of the three people to reach the top of the mountain is the shortest, they can win." He added.

"So, what good tactics do you have? For example, at the beginning, Paul and I took out the two wingmen of the other party, and then killed Bruce, uh, this is a one-sided slaughter, but it seems that that person also attaches great importance to this competition, and the wingman he chose is also a powerful person, right? Li Yi asked.

"The wingmen of this competition can't be more than eighteen years old, and it seems that they will all be the top geniuses on the mainland, the more famous ones, and it is estimated that there are some hidden characters, such as you, disguised as green-level explorers."

"How can it be considered a disguise? I just had to do it. Li Yi distinguished.

"I already have information on Bruce's two wingmen, one is a top genius from the Overseas Explorer Alliance, Charlotte, and the other is a senior student of your Sky Academy, Kurt, who is on par with Bruce, oh, Charlotte is a little weaker. Whoever wins the contest can get the Crown of the Ancient Spirit's Emptiness, and with this item, I will be able to perfect my three spirits' control of the sky, so that I can defeat Bruce in one fell swoop and turn him into a shadow. His eyes flashed with a flaming conviction, as if he were bound to win.

"How can I be sure that the powerful presence of Imperial College overseeing this game will not attack me? You know, I have a lot of treasures on me. Moreover, the degree of bias of the competition is also worth scrutinizing, are you sure that the academy gives you the same fairness? Since the beginning is unfair, how can the ending be fair? Li Yi sneered, he didn't believe that the Imperial Academy was simply to let Bruce and Cassius compete, Bruce's identity and bloodline must be more noble than Cassius, just like one is the emperor and the other is the archduke, it will never be possible to change positions, and Cassius's social circle is restricted, otherwise he would not have hurriedly found two people who had just met.
