"I know, I know very well that she's not. Being able to sit peacefully with both of us, I knew she couldn't be. It's just that in the face of that kind of breath, my hands are really itchy. I really want to fight her soon. ”

The murderous aura and fighting spirit burning in his eyes gradually extinguished with Klaus's reminder, and the cold smile on his face gradually converged. As his emotions calmed down, Anthony's expression began to become a little lazy, as if the emotions just now had drained his energy.

"You're such a hopeless fool. In my opinion, it's probably not that easy for you to really fight her. With her character, she probably won't go all out at the beginning. You'd better think about how to completely force her strength out first. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Klaus picked up the wine glass in his hand again and drank the last liquor in the glass. As the empty cup was gently lowered by him, Klaus, who was making a final reminder to Anthony, stood up from his seat as he spoke.

Although he was once an enemy with Anthony, he was an opponent who really needed to be separated from life and death. But at the same time, the two of them are also best friends. Therefore, Klaus does not want to see Anthony's pride, and certainly does not like to see his frustration.

For Klaus, Anthony has always maintained that the way it is for the best. As your own opponent, as your own friend. It's best to be able to keep going like this.

It's just that before his death, Anthony finally passed away first, for his favorite adventure, in order to achieve the great cause of killing gods.

And now, in this world where he was summoned as a brave man with merit in his lifetime, Klaus hopes to be able to go on like this with Anthony for more and longer. At least this time, he wanted to go first. Let the other party also experience the pain of losing the opponent.

"Haha, yes. The courage of the hero, the domineering spirit of the king, and the unique divine power of the gods are actually mixed with each other. It's a real child of heaven. The heroic king of the demigods? Or do different experiences make different legends?

If I want to see her true strength, I'm afraid I have to prepare well. Regardless of the outcome, there is another person to deal with besides her. Although compared to the gods here, I'm afraid that that there is more like a demon. ”

Haha laughed, not paying the slightest attention to Klaus's words, and not intending to understand Klaus's inner thoughts. Anthony still followed his own thoughts.

Whether in life or now, Anthony is the type to do when he thinks of it. I thought of becoming a mercenary, so I left my rich family and became an ordinary mercenary.

wanted to slay the dragon, so he rushed into the dragon island with his own mercenary group and fought with those dragons. I wanted to kill the gods, so I looked for traces of the gods everywhere and challenged the gods.

Anthony's whole life has been an incomparably brilliant and wonderful life because of his free character. And in the end, he was very appropriate, because his character fell into the challenge of the gods.

"You can do it yourself, I'll go back first. This time, don't die too fast. Your head is reserved for me. After a deep look at Anthony, who was smiling merrily, Klaus turned and walked towards the door of the tavern.

Everything that should have been said has already been said, and it is almost time for him to go back, and his summoner is probably already starting to worry. After all, their station is now full of wounded.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be waiting for you to die first this time. I promise. With a toothy grin, Anthony waved at Klaus very casually. But the most important agreement was made. Last time, you gave me a funeral, and this time I'll reluctantly pay you back, if there is no accident.

"Hmph." He snorted, not knowing whether to respond or refuse. Klaus's figure also disappeared into the night with this soft grunt.

"Life is really challenging. And this challenging life is the best. Isn't it, old man. Raising the glass of beer in his hand, looking at the golden liquid in the glass, Anthony whispered to the glass that reflected his face as if talking to himself.

"Roar~" Faintly, it seemed that a subtle but majestic roar came from somewhere. At the same time as the roar came, there was a dark shadow in Anthony's eyes that was stretching his massive wings.

Night covered the sky, and as time passed, the heavens and the earth were completely plunged into darkness. Midnight approached, and the tavern, which had been brightly lit, had its last light extinguished as the guests gradually left.

The end of the tavern business heralds the end of the day, and the time has come to midnight of the next day. In the silent night, everyone began to fall asleep.

No one knew that the brave men of the three nations had a simple meeting in this tavern. No one knew that in the deep darkness of the night, there was also some kind of shadow that was gradually spreading.

——

The next day, the final repechage match of the crown battle came as scheduled. Participating in this repechage match are the Orange Country, which was eliminated by the Red Country, the Yellow Country, which was eliminated by the Purple Country, and the Green Country, which was eliminated by the White Country.

When the Yellow Country gave up this repechage match on the grounds of lack of combat power, in the end, only two countries were left in this repechage match, the Orange Country and the Green Country. And the mode of the competition has also changed from a round-robin match of three countries to a head-to-head competition of two countries.

And the result of the repechage match on this day did not surprise Zhuang Xiaoyuan. After Huang Zhiguo abstained, Orange Country directly defeated Qing Zhiguo with an absolute advantage of two consecutive wins to obtain the last place in the semi-finals.

At this point, the four countries in the semi-finals were decided. After the repechage match of the day, the draw for the semi-finals was also held in advance in the evening of the same day.

I don't know if it's a fateful arrangement, or if it's a complete coincidence. In the end, it was the team of the White Country that faced the Red Country. And the country of orange, which has just been promoted from the repechage, will face the country of purple, which has defeated the two major powers of the country of white and the country of yellow, and the biggest dark horse in the battle for the crown this year.

"Is this lucky or unlucky? I didn't expect us to really match. How's that, the game I proposed, do you still have to do it? ”

When the draw for the semi-finals is over, the Red Country and the White Country will officially face each other. Anthony came to the team of the Red Country for the first time, and confirmed to Zhuang Xiaoyuan with a smile.

"Of course, wash your neck and wait. After that, we'll help you get back to the people in the Purple Country. Nodding, in the face of Anthony's reconfirmation, Zhuang Xiaoyuan agreed without hesitation.

As for Zhuang Xiaoyuan's decision, the rest of the Red Country did not express any objections. Last night, they had already discussed the gambling game. Therefore, no one was surprised by Anthony's sudden words.
