24. Junior Governor (13)

"What's the 'water demon', it's nothing more than a 'water whip'!"

The onlookers in the stands shook their heads, and several of the older ones looked disdainful.

Wrapped in a blade, it stretches and twists in the air like a creature's tentacles - this is clearly the "Water Whip", a transformational water attribute technique that literally shapes the flow of water into a whip-like shape to launch a mid-range attack on enemies. In the water attribute technique, this can be regarded as an upper-middle level technique.

With Roland's age, he can use the "water whip" and change his form freely in the air, which can be regarded as excellent. However, it is not wise to choose a "water whip" at this time.

"'The fox is a rare dual-attribute magician of wind and water, and he has quite a lot of practical experience in fluid manipulation, and he is afraid that he will be tricked by the other party if he dares to use the techniques of these two attributes. ”

An old viscount with a white beard stroked his beard and said, and the Castilian nobles on the side nodded their heads.

Don't use the other party's field of expertise - this is the iron rule of magician warfare, and apprentices who have learned a little magic understand this truth, but Roland deliberately ignores this truth and makes an irreparable mistake. In their opinion, this is a stupid move by Roland who lacks actual combat experience and is too confident in directing it.

This is the opinion of the "experts", the audience does not hear this high theory, and they are not interested in delving into it, they only care about who wins and who loses, and ...... Whether you make money or lose money.

"At the moment, it is 9 to 1 to buy Roland, and 'Fox is 2 to 1. ”

"So many?"

Vinia was a little surprised, and she was also taken aback by the huge difference as she had never been involved in gambling.

"After all, no one has ever seen the young master go crazy. ”

The spider casually responded. Clutching the ticket stub in his hand, his eyes fixed on the arena.

"We're making a lot of money now. ”

Valrhona not only held a large handful of bills in her hand, but also a basket at her feet, and Her Royal Highness the Dragon Princess, whose eyes were bloodshot, had an indecent hara hanging from her mouth.

"Golden Villa, Golden Carriage, Golden Yacht, Golden Bath, Golden Toilet, Gold Leaf Toilet Paper...... It's not enough, each one should be doubled, one for personal use, and one for mosquitoes. ”

"You're too greedy. ”

The spiders shook their heads, imagining the extravagant image, and looking at the Castilian cheering their heroes in the arena, God knows how many would hang themselves after the game.

"Leave me alone. ”

Valrhona was drowning in delusion. Hands trembled slightly.

"This time. This time I'm sure I'll be able to beat that black-skinned bastard......"

Obviously, in addition to the dragons' special love for gold, Her Royal Highness has not forgotten the shame of losing to Nidhogg in comparison of wealth, and she is sparing no effort to scavenge for gold to start a comparison war again. Be sure to overwhelm that black dragon bastard. A shame before the snow.

In front of this almost resentful obsession. Venia and the others could only retreat, and after a moment of silence, Gloria changed the subject.

"That...... Is it really a 'water demon?'

They had witnessed the power of the "Water Demon" at one time before. At that time, the water demon unleashed by Azdahaka showed amazing power and a wide range of applications, and if it weren't for Roland's presence, I am afraid that it would not be able to deal with it at all. Therefore, he was quite impressed by this technique, but the technique displayed by Roland at this moment was very different from the "water demon" he saw that day. Needless to say, the difference in the amount of water gathered is not much to say, and a single column of water cannot be compared with the network of water blades experienced at that time.

"Maybe somewhere, but ......?"

Before the words fell, the audience once again erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Perhaps disappointed, perhaps insulted, or trying to seize the moment, the "fox" kicked the ground and rushed towards Roland like a cannonball.

Without any exaggeration, the powerful storm propelled the black-clad swordsman into a gallop, and the wind wrapped around the tip of the sword spun at an extremely fast speed - no matter the form, the kinetic energy, and the rotational acceleration were indistinguishable from the cannonballs. Once hit, it will not be much better than being hit by a direct hit from a large-caliber artillery.

Under the protection of acceleration and rotational acceleration currents, it is impossible for the enemy to dodge or attack the "fox", and both himself and the audience are convinced of this.

Boom!

At the moment when everyone thought that the victory was about to be decided, the atmosphere exploded, and the white fog spread with the shock wave.

"This ...... It's!"

After being blown away from the set trajectory by the shock wave and barely gaining a foothold in a hurry, the "fox's" vision was already blocked by white, and he hurriedly summoned a strong wind to blow away the dense fog, but let the strong wind howl, the dense fog had no intention of dispersing at all.

"Could it be that the water vapor is used to create an explosive ......?"

"Exactly. ”

The fluttering sound echoes in the fog, and it is difficult to distinguish between the left and right, as if it is around, and it seems to be in the distance, obviously using air vibration techniques to interfere with hearing.

"It's a surprise, you know about the 'water vapor explosion. ”

The trick Roland used just now was the same as Azdahaka's past use of water vapor explosions to form a reactive armor-like effect to deflect the cannonball, except that the beam sword was replaced by strong electromagnetic waves.

It is not difficult for anyone who knows the inside story and the principle of the matter to guess the truth through the phenomenon, but the "fox" has not been exposed to the details of the battle before, and it is impossible for him to go to Alfheim to learn about it.

In other words, it is judged by one's own knowledge.

"Don't confuse me with the old old-fashioned grandfathers, I've been improving myself since the Seven-Day War. In order to one day, I will fight you greedy Charlemagnees. ”

The voice was still calm, and the blazing heat fermented in the air.

There is no way to imagine his experience, nor to know his ordeals, but the hatred and attachment attached to the words can be felt.

I am afraid that what has always supported this person to move forward and even survive is not only the simple patriotism and national feelings, but also the purer hatred. Take this hatred that can't be erased as food, and keep improving. Constantly working hard, even at the expense of the inherent concept and glory of a magician, he has worked hard to the point where he is now.

"Revenge ......"

"Exactly, this is the revenge of you devils with innocent blood on your hands, and it is the verdict of justice!"

The storm swept across the arena with a roar, and a violent updraft swept the fog into the air in one go, and when the storm subsided and the smoke cleared, the black-clad swordsman was stunned by the scenery in front of him.

"It's not that I can't understand your feelings, but I can also understand your thoughts. But before that. I've already saidβ€”"

20, 30, or more Roland raised their swords at the same time, as if a voice was being heard.

"I have no intention of backing down here, and I will definitely stick to it. ”

Exclamations rang out one after another, not just the audience. The noble magicians and Minerva also cried out in amazement at what they saw.

"Is it an operation system?!"

"No, no, how could it be possible to perform a spell on everyone present at the same time? That is only possible at the seven-wing level. No matter how genius it is. He's only ...... age!"

"Did you find a helper to pretend to be yourself? If so, this is a desecration of the spirit of the duel!"

"No way! The doors to the arena are closed, and the barrier that protects the audience from the spread is also played. ”

"So what the hell is this ......?"

"Semi-autonomic add-on 'fairy paradise-"

When everyone speculated that it was too unrealistic. The calm and loud interpretation of the black-clothed swordsman made everyone quiet down, and everyone held their breath and waited for the next speech.

"Use water to shape itself, refract light to project its appearance on the surface, and then add the add-on of 'Effect Maintenance and' Fairy Paradise to make it a semi-automatic water golem. That's pretty good, right? ”

"As promised. ”

All the golems replied together, their facial expressions changing in unison.

Originally, the "Water Demon" was a semi-autonomous technique, and its automatic search and reflection attack fully reflected this. However, due to the excessive burden of consciousness capacity and the high requirements for the user's adaptability, the development was terminated, except for the unsuccessful use of Azdahaka, the "water demon" has no other practical opportunity to test its value, it will be slowly forgotten in a safe along with other failures of the defense force research and development department, and then decay and disappear -

That's how it should be.

"Silas, what do you think is that kid's greatest talent?"

β€œ...... It's supposed to be 'Honkai use, right?'

"That's true, but it's superficial. To be precise, the child's talent is the ability to understand things. ”

Learning "Honkai" certainly requires unimaginable perseverance and perseverance in order to memorize all the structures and methods of destruction like a vast ocean, but this can only be regarded as rote memorization, at best it is just a static battle on paper, and in the face of dynamic battlefield changes and enemy adjustments, these small tricks are not useful at all.

Only by thoroughly understanding the principles of the technique and accurately grasping the opponent's thinking patterns and battlefield changes can "Honkai" start smoothly and exert the desired effect. What is needed for this is the ability to understand, to observe, to createβ€”these innate talents.

"'The basic power of the water demon comes from pressure, responding to different needs, and the changes in internal and external pressure shape the form of water, making it the eye of detection, the shield of defense, the blade of attack, and the fog of confusion, and theoretically achieve both offense and defense. However, the flaws are also obvious - the automatic process is low, the consciousness capacity requirement is too high, the physical characteristics of water are limited, etc., as long as the opponent is not a store outside of common sense, no matter which point of attack is used, the effect can be obtained. Butβ€”"

Roland corrected those flaws.

"Attaching the 'imaginary consciousness domain' to several water puppets can carry out a certain range of acting command functions, reducing the consumption of consciousness and increasing the flexibility and number of puppets. Coupled with the psychological chaos and all-round attacks caused by the large number of water golems, the water whip's monotonous attack pattern also becomes difficult to dodge - what a good idea. ”

"Really, what a smart boy. ”

A happy voice interjected, and before Silas could react, the voice suddenly changed.

"Ah, what should I do if I make people jealous?

"It's ugly that even that kind of imp would be jealous of a coward like you, Jerles. ”

"It's a shame to kill such a handsome guy. Ah, I really want to see what expression on his face and what kind of moving cry he makes when he is crushed on the bed and his legs are parted and violated?"

"Don't tell me about your disgusting fetishes, De Kir, do you want Lao Tzu to weld your asshole to death, and then open a skylight on your head instead of your asshole?"

"Don't make any noise, Reggie, I can't even look at him closely, oops, I really want to. I can't help but want itβ€”"

"Alas. It would be nice to be able to eat......"

"It's so annoying, I want to go home and sleep, I wake up early in the morning and I'm sleepy. ”

Seven voices suddenly plugged into the communication channel. Behind the seven figures on the top of the church, I could see through the gun scope. Silas's face also changed

"You are ......"

- Who can compare this beast? Who can make war against it? (Revelation 13:4)

That is, a verse in the holy book.

A word from a prophet after the monster that jumped out of the sea of visions.

Silas remembered the depiction of the monster.

- And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. There were ten horns and seven heads, and on the ten horns wore ten crowns, and on the seven heads there were blasphemous names. (Revelation 13:1)

Based on that monster and facilitated by special members, the members are named after the seven deadly sins defined by God, and can be called the strongest and most elite force of seven people in Alfheim - the beast.

-- Asking your name will surely become the seven deadly sins.

They are horror.

They are crazy.

They are the seven deadly sins of the original sin.

They are the manifestation of a calamity that is absolutely incorrect.

the arrogant Orgulous;

Jealous;

Rage of Wrath;

Sloth of Laziness;

Greed;

Gluttony;

Desire;

Each member has the ability to turn a city into purgatory, and only obeys the orders of the consuls, even higher than the direct guards. When all the bright and dark forces in Yalfheim are transferred to the general mobilization system and prepare for the next year's big war, this special unit will take on most of the field tasks, and when the audience in the arena is attracted to all the attention of the duel, they have already eliminated all the terrorists set as targets, and the scene has been cleaned up, which shows its strength.

Not only is the strength outstanding, but more importantly,

"Oh, that's all you want? ”

"Ahh ”

The middle-aged man in the priesthood robe (Cassock) had a trance-like expression, and many faces appeared on the solemn priesthood robe, perhaps dozens or hundreds, all eyes catching the teenager in the arena, and the viscous hunger floated out of the middle-aged man's mouth.

"I want to ...... Of course I want to...... I couldn't help thinking about it for a long time......"

"Of course, you are my shadows, my eyes and ears, my siblings, my minions, you are the result of my study of humanity, my doppelgangers of the seven deadly sins. It is only natural that there will be such a desire. ”

Combining alchemy and cutting-edge technology, Li Lin personally gave new life to the pieces of flesh, which is closer to the life created by God than Homunculus, and even has an independent personality, which can be called a perfect doppelganger.

"But it's not time yet, so bear with me for a while. Jerus and De Kiel remained to keep watch, and the others immediately set about their respective tasks. ”

"Yes. ”

The five black shadows bowed in unison, and the next moment they disappeared without a trace.

"Alright, let me see what kind of ending you want to arrange for this show. ”

The three-headed Q version of the villain propped up his chin and said like a song, behind him, two black shadows grinned in unison and laughed silently.

The smile that seems to stick out the tongue and makes the teeth that stick to the saliva reflect the cold light is not human.

οΌƒοΌƒοΌƒοΌƒοΌƒοΌƒοΌƒοΌƒοΌƒ

No one would think that there would be any suspense in a situation where dozens of people fight one, but this is in line with the rules of the duel - as long as there is no third party involved, the magician can drive the demon to fight. What's more, Roland uses a water block composed of spells, and he is not even a demon, so no one has any room for it.

Having said that, a sense of crisis, which is completely different from horror, is spreading in the body of the "fox".

The black-clad swordsman has dealt with many illusions created by magicians. It is clear that the effect they want to achieve is to shake the hearts of their opponents, intent on creating opportunities, and as long as they adjust their mentality, they can generally cope with the past.

The pressures in front of me are very different from those we have experienced in the past.

"Water Demon MK.2" is a variational technique, which means that in addition to disrupting the opponent with a water golem, it can also use physical means to directly attack the opponent.

Dozens of streams swept in, far from being fast enough to cut a diamond, but with enough power to incapacitate a single blow. Relying on the numerical superiority, it is completely possible to bring down the "fox".

"Endless ......!!"

The tip of the sword unleashed a lightning strike, and the water column collapsed in the thunder light. Surprisingly, the effect of lightning strikes is nothing more than that. A few of the water golems were distorted, most of them were unscathed, and those that were distorted quickly returned to their original state.

"How so?"

This is completely contrary to common sense, and it is usually just a matter of attacking water magic with thunder and lightning. No matter how powerful the technique. will suffer from the conductive properties of water. Even if you can't kill the practitioner on the spot, it will immobilize them and completely destroy the entire technique. But the ...... is in front of you

"It's pure water. ”

The blocks of water with Roland's face open together.

"All kinds of impurities are removed. The conductivity is drastically reduced enough to cope with lightning strikes of the average course. ”

"This little trick ......!!"

"It's better to give up and continue to cast lightning strikes. ”

"What?"

"The lightning strike just now electrolyzed a portion of the water and reduced it to hydrogen and oxygen...... Gases that are very flammable and explosive, can now be ignited by a single electric spark and induce an explosion. In addition, electrolyzed water produces toxic chlorine gas, and before it hits me, you will collapse due to an explosion or toxic gas. ”

In fact, the amount of water electrolyzed by the lightning strike just now is not much, and it is far from inducing an explosion and causing death, but if you insist on using a lightning strike, the only thing that will greet the "fox" is a large explosion and high-concentration chlorine gas.

"It's so gentle. ”

Spit out, and the black-clothed swordsman asked:

"Is this your original move? IMHO, it's not a complex technique that you can come up with at your age, but rather the result of a professional magical research institute. ”

His meaning is clear, the "water demon" is not the result of Roland's own work, but the work of someone else, and Roland is likely to have just plagiarized and processed a little.

This irony is very big, Cheng dΓΉ is not wrong.

"Uh, this is the result of the company's R&D team, and I've made some improvements......"

The voice gradually lowered, not ashamed of it, but touched some unpleasant memories - someone's cold words such as "just forget it with mercury", "It's good to be a sexy woman, it's like a killing machine from the future......

Why didn't he get a bespectacled head maid, armed with a shotgun disguised as an umbrella, a suitcase with a machine gun and a grenade launcher in the other, a grenade and dagger hanging under his skirt, and finally a good tooth to bite a steel knife...... Don't say it's a future killing machine, even if it's a governor, some people believe it.

"Anyway...... It's almost time for Your Excellency to show your true strength, right?"

Putting aside the sighs and annoyance, the boy asked.

Just as Roland had spare strength, "The Fox" didn't give it his all 100 percent, and in fact, it was a strange reaction to be surrounded by a lot of people, unquestionably believing in his opponent's promises and not preparing for the physicality needed to break through. But now it is meaningless to continue to retain strength, and only with an all-out blow can victory or defeat be decided.

Besides, there is only one way to achieve real victory.

"We don't speak for everyone, but at this moment, we do fight with our own stuff on our backs. If you waste your time like this, you will feel ashamed. ”

Since becoming the Governor of the District and beginning to work on reconciliation, Roland has been thinking about the "fox".

"Fox" is a self-proclaimed warrior, and in this era when personal prowess is beginning to decline, he is still like a knight charging at a windmill with a spear, walking alone and incorruptible in the cold world. Think, choose, make your own decisions, and rebel against Charlemagne's rule as a lone ranger -- such a man must have an incomparably tenacious will, and trying to convince him will not work by small means. For him, fighting is the act of colliding with the will of the enemy and defeating him, and the only way to truly defeat him is to fight with dignity and integrity, and to defeat him with a clear reason and a strong will.

Roland took a breath.

"Under ...... I don't want to lose, I have something to protect no matter what, even if I risk my life for this. ”

"Fox" did not say a word.

Never mind. As long as you convey your will, it's fine.

The young man was overflowing with consciousness and declared:

"With the will of my heart, I will take my body and defeat you here and now. (To be continued......)

PS: Although I am not a believer, I still wish you a happy Christmas Eve, and I hope that the single relatives will find their other half as soon as possible!
