Chapter 185 All eyes on the showdown

As night fell, the city lights lit up like stars on a star map.

In Shangcheng District, in the high-end villa area built next to the river, there is a fishing platform with wooden guardrails next to the artificial lake.

Lin Xiao stood on the second-floor balcony of a small single-family house, looking at the shadowy lake, thoughtful.

After an afternoon appointment, Margaret told me about the whereabouts of the [Philosopher's Stone].

And this is indeed a 'secret'.

After all, many forces and powerhouses are flocking to the eighth-level materials.

For the federal authorities, the better this secret is kept, the less difficult it will be to seize the [Philosopher's Stone].

Therefore, only politicians like the team leader with all-hands and eyes can get first-hand information.

However, this secret turned out to be a return gift for the 'date', which made Lin Xiao feel a little complicated.

First of all, Margaret, as a woman, is a little unpredictable.

Secondly, Lin Xiao became more and more suspicious of the connection between the team leader and the Greedy Demon God.

Because according to the legend, when the greedy demon god covets treasures, he will never do it himself, and often achieves his desires by manipulating humans.

But no matter what—

Lin Xiao's eyes were deep, and he looked at the pitch-black tinder in his palm like a black sun.

I will always go to the ruins of King Solomon.

Not only to find the mythical substance, 【Philosopher's Stone】.

It also confirmed his guess and found out the truth about the final two demon gods.

Looking sideways at the dark lights of the neighbor Chu Yun's house, Lin Xiao calmed down, went back indoors, and walked towards the virtual cabin with a bright silver shell.

At eight o'clock tonight, it will be a duel with Augustus, the great emperor of the northern kingdom.

The whole world will focus on this duel, and at the same time, it will also know the true face of the epee man under the helmet.

This is not only to show power, but also to take due responsibility for the people and things that you value.

Lin Xiao lay in the virtual cabin, his body was scanned by infrared rays, and he calmly said:

"Connect, start."

The consciousness passes through the endless white light, and the body seems to pass through the torrent of information.

With the exclusive achievements of the whole server, a soft electronically synthesized female voice sounded beside her ears.

"Player 'Epee Wufeng' has connected, welcome back, champion."

The moment the epee man appeared in the cloud hall, all eyes immediately focused on him.

This is the hero who made a lot of deeds in the source world and saved the entire Golden State in reality!

With eager eyes, the players gathered around the man in black armor, cheering and cheering:

"Come on, big guy!"

"You can make Emperor Augustus accept the challenge, boss, you are so fierce!"

In the minds of the players, this champion is the top boss in the game; and Augustus is the unattainable powerhouse in reality.

Now, this boss is actually going to confront Augustus.Everyone was a little unbelievable, and expected him to defeat the strong with the weak.

"No matter what you look like under the helmet, I will support you!" The players laughed happily.

"Kill your father!"

The epee man nodded slightly, carrying the hot meteor sword on his back, and stepped towards the teleportation circle.

hum.

The teleportation light was on, and Lin Xiao's eyes were sharp.

Murder!

*
As early as three days ago, the news that the epee man had scheduled a duel with Emperor Augustus had detonated all major forums.

Media campaigns, news promotion, players blowing water... All walks of life showed strong concern for this duel.

On both sides, one is the 'Guo Shi Wu Shuang' who is at the peak of the seventh order.

The other showed the sixth-level peak level during the Star Cup, and now, it may have reached the seventh-level strength.

The duel between the seventh ranks is enough to ignite the audience's adrenaline, detonate expectations and passion!
However, the audience also knows that even if they are both at the seventh level, there is still a gap.

Augustus the Great was the leader of the northern kingdom. He fought against the seventh-order monsters in the deep sea all the year round, and he developed a heart as cold as an iceberg.

Although the epee man is the champion of the Starry Sky Cup and once killed the sea monster 'Theseus', his deeds are still not enough for Augustus.

After all, the rare deep-sea monsters of the Federation are commonplace in the North——

Emperor Augustus led the Northern Fleet to attack all year round, and what he hunted and killed was the seventh-level monster of the same level as 'Theseus'!
Of course, the federation also has its own crisis.

The northern kingdom is plagued by monsters in the deep sea, and the Federation is threatened by the resurrection of the demon god.

In the eyes of the masses, only a legendary saint can solve the threat of the demon god...

The support rate on the Internet showed a [-]-[-] split.

Thirty percent of the audience who supported the epee man were actually not optimistic about his winning rate.

Even though the epee man made rapid progress, he reached the seventh level in just two months after winning the championship.

As a seventh-rank rookie, facing Emperor Augustus was no different from committing suicide.

People from all walks of life commented:
"Fighting against Emperor Augustus and then revealing your identity is a good marketing strategy. The premise is that you don't lose too badly."

"I can't think of a way for the heavy swordsman to win... unless he is also a strong man at the peak of the seventh step?"

"Haha, one month's strength has leaped a big step, and signing a contract with the devil is not so fierce!"

"Augustus also lost before, so who lost? People like Jiang Shang Tianshi and Jinlong Zhenjun. How can the epee win? Do you know if you don't have that strength!"

Zhenjun Jinlong's eyelids twitched while surfing the Internet.

I have never fought with Augustus, little netizens, don't talk nonsense!
However, the news that little brother Lin Xiao was going to confront Augustus really surprised Zhenjun a little.

Although he supported Lin Xiao in his heart, he still had a trace of doubt...

Augustus holds the legendary Odin's sharp spear 'Kungunir', which gives the impression of being too powerful.

Unless little brother Lin Xiao can gain the power to compete with the divine aura on the Eternal Spear.

For example, the legends circulating in the federal state, the power of the demon god...

Jinlong Zhenjun's complexion suddenly became strange, thinking of the man in black armor who ignited triple flames all over his body to fight against the Hydra during the heavy rain on the Golden Continent.

Brother Lin Xiao, it seems that he really has the power of a demon god!
The Atlantic Ocean, the vast expanse of sea.

Fanshatian, who was sunbathing, lowered his sunglasses, leaned on his arm and said:
"Oh? The epee man is going to confront Augustus and reveal his identity?"

"Yes." The manager said cautiously, "but his chances of winning are too slim...the opponent is the Queen of the North."

Fan Shatian grinned, showing a frightening smile that he thought was very kind:

"Guess why Augustus agreed to fight the epee man?"

The manager broke out in a cold sweat: "I, I don't know."

"That must be because the epee man offered a condition that could make Augustus's heart flutter. That condition is definitely related to the increase in strength."

Looking up at the blue sky, Fanshatian recalled the man in black armor on the small island who seemed to be invincible forever, and said hoarsely:
"It's really strong... I also want to touch the same field as them as soon as possible..."

The manager was puzzled.

"Forget it, it's impossible for a mortal like you to understand." Fan Shatian sighed, "How many days are left in the voyage?"

"20 days."

"It's been a good journey, but I'm going to end it early."

Fan Shatian reached out and pressed his broad palm on the manager's head, like stroking a child, and said with a smile:

"I'm going to chase my own..."

Fan Shatian pursed his lips, his eyes showed a strong desire to chase, his whole face was extremely fierce, and he said in a low voice:
"Martial arts."

The Kingdom of the North, Thousand Winters City.

The atmosphere was cold, and in the iron-gray domed palace, Consul Anna stopped the senior officer who wanted to see him and said:

"Master Augustus is preparing for an important confrontation, and no one is allowed to enter."

A trace of hesitation appeared on the face of the senior officer, and he said:
"I came here precisely for this matter. I'm not questioning Lord Augustus' decision, but, is it worth condescending to condescend against a card master who has just entered the seventh level?"

"First entry to the seventh level?"

Anna sneered and said, "You underestimated Lord Augustus' vision, and at the same time you underestimated the heroes of the world."

The officer was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, his eyes were a little unbelievable.

An opponent who can make Lord Augustus seriously prepare for the battle...

Could it be that the epee man is really an Xeon card master with the strength of 'Guoshi Wushuang'?

how can that be?There are very few national warriors in this world, not to mention that a month ago, the epee was only at the sixth level!

Anna saw the hesitation on the officer's face, she didn't sneer, and secretly said:
"That epee man can take the initiative to mention [Sanctuary], and his vision is already at the same height as Lord Augustus..."

Although, it is still impossible for him to defeat Lord Augustus.

But it is indeed necessary to show the respect due to the strong!

The main hall of the palace is luxurious and majestic, but the queen's room is simple and simple, with white navy hats placed on neatly stacked beds.

Augustus was tall and slender, dressed in casual home clothes, standing barefoot in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, combing his long blue hair like a waterfall with a comb in his hand, and his eyes were indifferent.

She then changed into a white navy uniform, white stockings and high boots.

The moment she put on the white military cap and lowered the adjustment, her temperament suddenly became harsh, like a queen on the frozen ocean.

"People chasing [Sanctuary]."

Augustus put his chin on his hands, his eyes were full of thoughts, and he whispered to himself:
"I hope...you really satisfy me."

*
The time was approaching eight o'clock in the evening, and the arena in the virtual world was full of seats.

The high-level venue projection in the center can perfectly show the style of the seventh-level duel, so the audience is not hesitant to buy tickets to enter the venue.

Real cheers swept across the venue like a tide, and players with different images shouted the names of 'Epee Man' and 'Augustus'.

More viewers poured into the major broadcast rooms, swiping the barrage excitedly and expectantly.

This is the night when the epee man reveals his identity, and it is also the night when Emperor Augustus shows his demeanor in front of the world!

In Honeysuckle University, many students guarded the public projection in the cafeteria, looking forward to the appearance of both parties.

"I don't know what the epee man looks like..."

Carlo sat beside Jolena and said curiously, "I guess it's an uncle?"

Qiao Linna was dragged by Carlo to the cafeteria, saying that she wanted to feel the collective atmosphere, she lowered her head to review her homework, looked up at the projection, and said lightly:

"You'll know later...it will definitely shock you."

In the investigation team, Sigrid set up a small table and chairs beside the hospital bed, covered with potato chips, pudding, and strawberry cake, scooped up the jelly and watched the broadcast on the TV, and said vaguely:

"Lin is about to appear!"

Brother Chu Yun, who was wrapped up like a mummy with only his eyes exposed, glanced at the little secretary's feast of snacks out of the corner of his eye.

Did you and Lin Xiao come to my ward for a spring picnic...

Solomon Winery.

A snake slithered into the meeting room from the door, and seeing Lord Lucifer staring at the live broadcast on the screen, he couldn't help being stunned:
"Are you watching Lin Xiao's live broadcast?"

"No." Lucifer said flatly, "I just accidentally clicked on it."

Samuel: "..."

Can't believe it!

The glamorous Beelzebub was gnawing on the fried chicken, eating rudely, sucking his finger, and said with a sneer:
"Isn't he just concerned about the black dragon envoy? But."

Beelzebub changed the subject: "Seventh-order human confrontation is quite rare...I have beer here, you can drink while watching."

Samuel was heartbroken: "Drinking beer in the winery, you are sorry for the wine I brewed!"

"How can you eat fried chicken with red wine?" Beelzebub said contemptuously.

Turning his head to look, Lucifer picked up one of the fried wings, took a sip, then picked up the goblet, and took a sip gracefully.

Beelzebub and Samuel were dumbfounded.

Elegant, so elegant!
Boiling cheers suddenly sounded from the screen projection. It turned out that a well-known commentator was on stage.

"Gentlemen and ladies, tonight's arena will focus the attention of the whole world!"

The commentator Leo said passionately: "One of them is the champion of the Star Cup, an epee man."

"The other one is the 'Unparalleled Scholar' of the Northern Kingdom, Augustus!"

With Augustus' status, Leo didn't know why he agreed to a duel with the epee man.

All you need to know is that this game is the most valuable game that I have commented on in recent years!
The commentary pushed the emotions of the scene to the highest point, and shouted amidst the applause that was very close to reality:
"Next, let the field card start beating!!"

In the midst of everyone's attention, the field card rotates and freezes on a somewhat strange map.

The first thing that catches the eye is a gigantic steel ship, like a solid war fortress, with four big chimneys spewing smoke.

And around the ship, there is an endless ocean, which is infinitely close to the "sea place".

"The two sides will fight on the ship and the sea! This ship will be the only bunker, and it is also the terrain that card masters need to use!"

Leo paused for a moment, his tone hesitant: "But for a seventh-level card master, whether a bunker is needed may be a question mark."

The barrage flew over: "Hahaha."

"The classic 'dropship' map, huh?"

"Here we come, Field Killer is coming with a big sword in his hand!"

Leo said loudly: "Let us invite you, both parties will appear!!"

A beam of teleportation light fell next to the large funnel on the aft deck.

The man in black armor held a large pitch-black sword in his hand, inserted the sword into the deck with a 'clang', and folded his hands on the hilt.

The domineering and awe-inspiring posture aroused enthusiastic shouts from the audience.

When another ray of light fell, the cheers in the arena suddenly stopped.

It seems that there is an invisible cold wind that freezes the reality and the virtual.The indescribable majestic aura is incompatible with the entertainment atmosphere of the virtual world.

The cold wind lifted her long blue hair under the white navy cap, a slender figure wearing a white navy suit, wearing military boots, standing on the bow deck, staring coldly, holding Odin's eternal gun!

Queen of the North, Augustus!
