The day after laughing with Yura about the adventurers from the aristocracy, we encountered a squad of adventurers made up of noble children.

Everyone in this team comes from aristocratic families in Ari City, and even Yura knows most of them.

"They are not members of an unknown guild, but members of the Valiant Guild," Jura whispered to me, "They must have paid to borrow the name of the guild to participate." ”

"What is the strength of these people?" I asked.

"Very weak," said Yura, "I can destroy them alone." ”

I was shocked by Yura's words: "This is the battle for the top 100, every team that can stand on the current arena has its own skills, you said that you can destroy them with your own strength, is it possible that during this time, your strength has grown to a height that I can't imagine?" ”

"What are you guessing nonsense~" Yura said angrily: "I'm saying that their strength is very average and not worth mentioning." ”

"Huh?" I was puzzled: "If their strength was very average, then they should have been lying down a long time ago, how could they have been strong until now?" ”

Jura smiled slightly: "Soon, you will know the reason." ”

......

......

As Yura said, I did quickly learn why they had made it to this point, and it was indeed a talent, a talent that only nobles would use—sugar-coated cannonballs.

During the break in the break room, they approached us and explained who they were, promising that if they deliberately lost the game, they would be rewarded with a huge amount of money, and they would even be able to choose their favorite official position in the local town of Ari City - as long as it was not the position of the mayor of the local town.

Faced with this extremely tempting condition, I groaned for a long time and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm from Moonlight City. ”

The nobles who were directly rejected were so angry that they even said that they would make us suffer in the arena.

However, we still won the battle, and the reason for the victory made me laugh and cry - the other side was unwell and missed the battle collectively.

We win without a fight.

On the way back, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The martial tradition of the Zephyr Continent has been passed down since the time of the ancestors, during which almost every generation of nobles has the strength to surpass ordinary people.

However, at some point, this tradition and custom began to fade among the nobility, and the corruption of life and the laziness of thought, as well as the desire for power, began to rise among the nobility.

This phenomenon is especially widespread among the aristocratic circles of Ari City.

From the courage of Carter Adams, one of the legendary heroes, to the aristocratic squad who only knew how to buy with sugar-coated shells just now, but did not dare to fight, the gap during this period was simply the difference between heaven and earth.

Maybe it's because life is so comfortable?

I thought so.

......

......

The five-day battle of the top 1000 is over.

We went all the way smoothly and successfully entered the top 100.

According to Yura, the current strength level of the guild is comparable to that of the heroic guild back then.

Of course, this is only one of the happy events, and there is another thing, that is, the new Heroic Guild led by Jin Siqi has also entered the top 100.

In other words, I have two guilds at the same time that can compete with the heroic guilds of the past.

It makes me happy.

But I still know that with the strength I have so far, it is not enough to determine the outcome of a war.

And now, the day when the Zephyr Championship is over is a little closer.

......

......

The competition of the top 1000 is over, and the competition of the top 100 to the top 100 has officially kicked off.

It's still the knockout format, it's still the number of games a day, it's still five days of play, as if everything is the same as before – except for the strength of the opponent.

In the Top 1000 Competition, you may still encounter guys with average strength but good luck, but in the Top 100 Competition, each team is a team that has experienced more than ten games, whether it is tacit understanding or overall strength, it is more than one cut stronger than the previous opponent.

Stand in front of the event board and look at your opponent's guild.

All of our opponents in the Top 100 seemed to be from the Adventurer Squad in Ari City, which made me wonder if someone had deliberately arranged it that way.

However, after learning that the order of the event was chosen by random drawing, I gave up the idea of talking to the person in charge.

After that, I went to the adventurer's base, looked up the brief information of all the squads that might be opponents, and learned that the guilds they belonged to were all large guilds in Ari City.

When I got home, I passed the news to everyone, and Billy expressed his excitement, he felt that the stronger the opponent, the more he could show his strength, I expressed my helplessness, and warned him: "These are the elites of the big guilds, if you attack as impulsively as before, you may not even have a small life." ”

"Xiao Yi has a point," Yura said: "In the top 100 competition, almost every team has adventurers above level 10, and if you encounter a ruthless opponent, you may indeed die if you attack rashly." ”

Hearing this, Billy pursed his lips and stopped talking, but he still had an unconvinced expression on his face.

I didn't look at him and continued: "So, from now on, we have to plan and prepare for every game, and it's not a shame to throw in the towel if we meet that kind of invincible opponent. ”

"Throw in the towel?" Billy bared his teeth and said, "Xiao Yi, how can you say something that only a weak person can say?" ”

"Admitting defeat is not something that can only be said by the weak," I said solemnly, "Also, don't think that it is glorious to stand up and stand up, many times, seeing the situation clearly is the king." ”

"See what's going on?" Billy snorted lightly: "Xiao Yi, I think you're scared, right?" ”

I chuckled, shook my head, and said, "I ask you, you fight Emily, who can win?" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Billy frowned, "It's definitely her." ”

I nodded and said, "Well, suppose, you meet an opponent who is almost the same strength as her, what will you do, will you fight to the end, or admit defeat and leave?" ”

"Of course it's fighting to the end!" Billy said: "I can have such a strong guy as my opponent, how can I stop if I don't have a good fight?" ”

"And what if the other party will kill you because of it?" I asked, "Or if you are badly injured or even disabled in battle, and you will never be able to fight again, will you still choose to fight?" ”

"Definitely," Billy said, patting Godot on the back and saying, "Isn't it for him as a super priest, all injuries are a trivial matter." ”

Hearing this, Godot raised his head and said expressionlessly, "I can't cure my disability. ”
