Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 102 Practice Time
"Uncle Cottle, I'm sorry to trouble you over there."

"Hehe, what about Master Claire, this is my duty."

On a towering tower beside the outer city wall of Black Horse City, a handsome young man in a mage's robe and a middle-aged man in gray armor with a sloppy beard and a shaggy beard walked around and talked with each other with smiles.

It was Claire and the city guard leader Cottle.

"Then, I will wait for the good news."

After bidding farewell to Cottle and leaving the tower, the smile on Claire's face disappeared instantly.

'Damn it, Cottle, you already decided that guy Reinhardt was going to win and just let it go? '

Three days have passed since the three viscount candidates met and negotiated.

Claire wanted to approach Cottle immediately, but was pushed and shoved by his subordinates, who turned him away on the grounds that he was busy.

He persevered, and after bribing him with some supernatural items, he just got the chance to meet today.

In fact, after being obstructed in various ways, Claire has already realized Cottle's attitude, but he still doesn't believe in evil.

Maybe after knowing the truth, Cottle will change his mind?
However... the results were not ideal.

Even though he heard that the Blood Race might have infiltrated the Dark Horse City, and there were many evidences that Reinhardt had an affair with the Blood Race, Cottle did not mean to strongly support them, but said that he would step up efforts to search the location of the Abyss Passage as a help to them .

Even though Claire made many promises in the name of the three brothers and sisters, Cottle remained unmoved.

'It's impossible for him not to know that Reinhardt may have become a puppet of the blood race!Letting this kind of guy succeed is basically equivalent to letting the blood race control the entire Hongsen collar!The consequences of this are not difficult to imagine! '

'Could it be that the sense of responsibility he showed before was all just a disguise? '

Claire was full of righteous indignation and puzzlement, and finally had no choice but to leave in a hurry.

On the gate tower, Cottle watched Claire's leaving back, still looking lazy, but there was a bit of loneliness in his eyes.

It stands to reason that the interference of foreign races in the succession of the title is already a matter of life and death for the family.But Clare's so-called evidence is actually still in the category of conjecture.

When it comes to titles, it is impossible for the guardians of the family to just listen to the words of one person and quickly believe that so-and-so has become a puppet of the blood clan. Otherwise, everyone will report to each other and even fabricate evidence, which will be a mess.

Of course... Cottle is [-]% sure that what Claire said is true.

His sense of responsibility is not false, it's just...

'A viscount family is just an insignificant grain of sand in front of this whirlpool.But as long as he protects himself wisely, even if the blood clan controls the family, as a silver powerhouse, he will be safe.The family vow is a constraint, but in turn, it is also a gold medal for avoiding death.Because no matter who controls the family, in the eyes of the patriarch, that guy Menggot and I are obedient fighters.Claire, I haven't lived enough. '

Cottle, who was born as a commoner, still hasn't lost himself in his current position. After gaining power, he bullies those people who are as humble as he used to be.However, compared with one's own life, the safety of others comes after all.

If the heir is attacked and he has to take action due to the oath, he will never do this kind of behavior of actively getting involved in the center of the whirlpool.

He withdrew his gaze, and said loudly towards the bottom of the stairs: "Bring the wine up!"

……

Claire returned angrily. After returning to the Black Horse Castle, he grabbed people and asked, "Where is Li Yongren?"

The servant replied: "The third young master is also undergoing closed training in the martial arts field today."

Claire frowned, signaled that after knowing it, he strode towards the martial arts arena.

The day after the consultation, Nora was the first to leave and rushed to the temporary territory.

He also had to stay temporarily in order to get close to Cottle and contact his mentor through Yuanxun.

As for Li Yong...

"The blood assassin is still in the city."

"Because they have defeated their plans many times, the blood race may have already set their sights on me."

"So, I won't leave until you two leave."

"They will be worried, worried that I will take the opportunity to leave Dark Horse City when I try to assassinate you, so that I will lose the best chance to assassinate me."

This is what Li Yong said.

But Claire is less convinced.

What did the blood clan focus on Li Yong?He felt that he, the bronze magician, was more threatening than Li Yong, a black iron rookie.

But...well, as an ally, as an elder brother, he still has to accommodate some of his younger brother's shortcomings.Too much self-confidence is actually just a small shortcoming.

In fact, he was always on guard against the assassin.

With the lessons learned from last time, he now has rings engraved with the Blink spell on his hands (he got it from the mentor by the way during the last teleportation), and he is ready to run away at any time.

I don't know if he has too much self-awareness. When walking in the city, he always feels that someone is hiding in the shadows and spying on him.

However, with ten flashes in his hand, he can open a distance of up to one kilometer in one breath. With such a long distance buffer, even if that guy has a record of assassinating Baiyin, he is not afraid at all.

In the final analysis, the death of the captain of the personal guard, Kate, was mostly dragged down by his father, the helpless Rudnor.

Just today, he has completed all the affairs that need to be resolved in the Dark Horse City, and has obtained the "communication device". The price is that at the end of this year, he must complete the subject assigned by his instructor, and must also achieve an assessment of A level or above...

Therefore, he intends to bid farewell to Li Yong and remind Li Yong by the way.

After all, after he left, Li Yong's reason for "leaving last" was self-defeating.

Neither of the two family guardians can be a help. If Li Yongzai stays here all the time, it will just let the already urgent time slip away.This is unacceptable to him who is eager to obtain the part of the territory stipulated in the covenant.

'Since that day, my third younger brother has been nesting in this martial arts field almost all day long, and no one else is allowed to enter. '

'Are you practicing some special secret technique? '

'Even if it's cultivation, could it be that he was able to break through the bottleneck of rank in just a few days and gain the confidence to face that blood assassin? '

Shaking his head, Claire walked straight towards the martial arts arena.

The door of the martial arts arena was closed tightly, and no voice could be heard from inside. He knocked on the door lightly, and only a dull voice responded.

But he knew that the transcendent inside the door must be able to hear the knock on the door.

Under Li Yong's order, ordinary servants dare not knock on the door, so they must understand that they are the only ones who will knock on the door at this moment.

Not long after, the door opened, and Claire frowned when she saw Li Yong's appearance.

The handsome noble boy was only wearing a vest and shorts at the moment, and a lot of sweat was flowing, making the vest tightly stuck to his body, revealing the color of his skin slightly.

Claire couldn't help thinking: "What kind of intense exercise is it that makes a fighter of Li Yong's level sweat so much?" '

Vaguely, through Li Yong's back, Claire seemed to see the tragic situation in the martial arts arena.

Different from Li Yong's usual tight clothes, the muscles shown in front of his eyes at this moment just show that he is not a frail scholar or a pampered waste aristocrat.

Li Yong's muscles are not the kind of bloated tendons, which will not make the whole person appear thick-backed, but like top swimmers, not deliberately showing their existence, but perfectly round, agile and full of strength , like a human-shaped cheetah.

Li Yong stared at Claire, not intentionally, but his gaze was like a hungry tiger staring at its prey, and Claire couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, knowing that the other party might not have completely escaped from the state of exercise.

"Claire, are you leaving?"

Li Yong looked Claire up and down for a while, and then he would feel better.

"You're smarter than I thought."

Claire took out a black communicator somewhat similar to the big brother Li Yong had seen in his previous life, and said: "This is the communicator I mentioned before, and I have already installed the power source for you. Now I will explain to you how operate?"

After Li Yong nodded, Claire started to explain and practice.

And at this time, from the open gate of the Martial Arts Field, two more figures appeared.

One was a plump black-haired beauty who was sweating slightly and wearing a mask, but it was Harenna who kept a disguise.The other was Kaya, who was still panting violently, wearing a training suit.

Claire glanced over the two of them from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Needless to say, this warrior named Helen, he has already seen the opponent's strength with his own eyes. Although he looks like a 2nd-level warrior who has just entered the bronze, his combat ability can defeat a 2nd-level knight with a complete horse and armor one-on-one. Unfathomable.

As for Kaya on the other side, a few days ago, in his eyes, although she possessed extraordinary qualities and didn't know what kind of power she used, her strength and experience were simply not enough.Now, there are faint fluctuations of battle energy, and the temperament of a warrior revealed is completely different from the past.

'Just these few days, how did they exercise? '

This may involve the secret of the other party. Claire didn't ask any more questions. Looking at Li Yong who was dripping with sweat, he didn't hand out the communicator directly, but gently placed it in front of Li Yong, and said with a corner of his mouth: "I am It took a lot of effort to get it, don't let this thing get damaged by water, keep it well."

"Ah."

"Also... I will set off right away, you'd better go back to your territory as soon as possible, and send someone to start searching. We don't have enough time!"

Li Yong waved his hand: "I know this in my heart."

"It's good that you know it!"

Claire snorted softly, consciously finished explaining the matter, then turned and left without further words.

Li Yong grabbed the communicator, closed the door, and put it into the space ring.

Claire once said that even in a place like the abyss passage, the communicator can work normally, so even if it is placed in the space ring, the information transmitted by the other party will not be lost.

So he naturally put it into the ring, the safest place.

Just like what Claire said, for the past three days, he stayed in the martial arts arena.

What they do is naturally to increase their strength.By consuming the cultivation resources left by Luna, the physical level can be improved at the fastest speed.

Reaching level 4 in physique means that he will gain the power of the bronze level.If you use the strongest hole card, the giant real body, you will jump to the top bronze combat power, and it is an extremely comprehensive bronze top rank. Among the bronze powerhouses, it is definitely the top!

Even if you meet the blood assassin who is about the same level of strength as Felix one-on-one, there is no need to be afraid!

As I said before, even with the resources of the Konrad family, it will take a month to raise my physique to level 4.

But now that he is no longer acting as the head of the family, he naturally has no way to unscrupulously use family resources to practice.

However, the overall quality of the resources left by Luna is higher than the cultivation resources in the family inventory, and the time required for this is also shortened.

If long-term efficiency is not considered, and only the fastest improvement is sought, and the resources in the ring are consumed by nearly half, there is hope for a breakthrough within a week!

And if we talk about the fastest way to consume resources, it is natural to keep exhausting fighting energy, energy, and physical strength, constantly consuming, and constantly using resources to replenish.

This can be described as a portrayal of Li Yong's life in the past three days.

In this martial arts arena, Li Yong was able to take out the Candlefire Great Sword without any scruples, and had a real fight with Haruna.

Continually consuming battle energy, polishing the body through battles, and constantly eating the resources of rare monster meat or herbal elixir, this is the most primitive, rustic and stupidest cultivation method, but it is also very effective and can maximize the use of resources Methods.

In addition to improving hard power, this process has also continuously improved Li Yong's soft power.That is, technique.Compared with his hard power, this soft power really can't keep up with his own strength.

Fortunately, the reason why Chaofan is extraordinary is that after taking this step, all kinds of abilities have reached the level of transcendence.

Being able to better control the self also means a stronger learning ability.

A hard-working partner trainer and mentor, coupled with sufficient resources, can practice without interruption. Thanks to this, Li Yong's swordsmanship and fighting skill levels have each increased by one level.

There are four types of sparring with Haruna.

Unarmed combat; use a weapon, that is, a candle-fired sword; use a weapon, and at the same time equip the armor of fire scales; activate the armor of fire scales to the maximum to reach the state of sublimation.

Occupying the advantage of weapons, when using the Candlefire Great Sword to compete with Haruna, his strength has faintly touched the bronze level, which is enough to pose a threat to Haruna.

If equipped with the Fire Scale Armor on this basis, his defense power will increase in a straight line, and the increase in strength of the magic pattern structure will also make his attack power truly reach the bronze level, and he will compete with Haruna.

If the sublimation state is activated, the increase in strength will increase again, and the explosive ability will be added, which can suppress Haruna head-on, achieving a [-]% winning rate.The main reason for this success is that it consumes too much battle energy. Even with the reserve of Li Yong's bronze-level battle energy, it can only last for a few minutes. Lamb's weak period.

While exercising and cultivating, he also had a reverie in his heart.

If the "giant physique" talent is awakened during continuous intense exercise, not only the basic strength will be improved, but it may reach the lower level of bronze, and the effect of the giant's real body will also become stronger. The strength of the rank breaks through the bottleneck of the silver rank in one fell swoop!Instead of being in an incomplete state like now, it can only be raised by 0.8 large levels.
