I am Honkai!

Although he was prepared, the prosperity of the imperial capital was beyond Selene's imagination. Compared with the villages and towns he saw along the way, it could be said that there was a difference between cloud and mud.

"This is really a majestic creation!" Standing on the dome of the sky, looking down at the towering and huge palace, Selene couldn't help expressing such emotion.

I have heard about the height of the palace, but when I really saw it, I was still surprised and my heart was ups and downs.

Under the towering city walls, there are row upon row of buildings. At a glance, there is no end in sight... The imperial palace in the center of the imperial capital is so resplendent, majestic and majestic, towering into the clouds, like a palace in heaven.

It is worthy of being the capital of a thousand-year empire.

It took thousands of years to support a city with the power of the whole country, and it was only then that such a magnificent and prosperous city was born. It is no wonder that people from all over the world flock to the imperial capital like moths to a flame.

Perhaps, in the eyes of these imperial people, this is heaven, and this is their lifelong goal.

"He can be replaced!"

"Man... er, as it is!"

At this moment, Selene couldn't help bursting with great passion deep in her heart. She was yearning for it, and she admitted that... she was a bit of a power creature, and her desires began to emerge unstoppably.

Wake up and take over the power of the world, drunk and beautiful... Ahem, she yearns for it too!

However, Selene looked at the imperial capital where the crowds were constantly flowing, and the fiery heart quickly calmed down, "If there is no power, everything...is just vain."

The most prosperous city in the Empire is also the darkest city in the Empire... especially for those naive outsiders, this is a real hell on earth.

However, it is only relative to the weak, and Selene and Sebas——

Are they weak relative to the world?

...

Soon, Selene and Sebastian appeared outside the imperial capital where people were coming and going.

Then, Selene discovered that the people of these imperial capitals were very good at judging people by their appearance.

When they saw a local prostitute coming from a small place in the countryside, they would look at them with disdain, and when the visitor was a powerful and powerful person, they would look like they were flattering and flattering.

And when he saw Selene's gorgeous silver armored figure, he quickly lowered his head, bent over and backed away, not daring to speak in front of her at all, even the imperial guards who had collected tolls in front of civilians before Withered, he didn't dare to make any moves to show off his might.

It seems that he regards Selene's silver armor as the army of the empire.

In fact, it is not to blame for their fear, after all, the gang of military warriors in the empire have a bad reputation.It was only after Selene walked away that they resumed their discussion.

"Could it be the guarding general who returned to Beijing to report on his duties?"

"Possibly an aristocrat."

"Then why didn't you make a carriage?"

...

Amidst the discussions of the people of the empire, Selene and Sebastian walked into the imperial capital.

The emperor is very lively, and there are thriving scenes everywhere.

At least, as far as I can see so far, the imperial capital is indeed prosperous. Without the level of technology, it is even more noisy than Academy City. As for the decay and darkness hidden under this prosperous appearance, it is unknown.

I don't know if there will be any "kind" nobles who will take me in. Thinking of this, Selene took Sebastian to wander around the business district of the imperial capital.

Generally speaking, a crowded tavern is the best place to inquire about news.But Selene particularly disliked the environment and atmosphere there.So there is a plan to visit the downtown area.

Along the way, looking at Selene's delicate face, it's not like no one planned to seek wealth and wealth, but Sebas glanced at her, and some people with bad intentions also dispelled certain thoughts in their hearts.

Slip away, can't be bothered.

Apart from these small episodes, Selene had seen enough in the downtown area, and she was excited to try all kinds of food from all over the world.

And Selene didn't forget her purpose. Although the environment was noisy, she had sharp eyes and ears and could easily hear what they were talking about.

In the conversations of these men, Selene heard several key words.

"Minister Jolly is about to retire", "General Budd becomes the new 'empire's strongest'", "Huangquan Temple Martial Arts Conference" and so on.

Among them, the most frequently heard is the "Huangquan Temple Martial Arts Conference". Except for a few news, this group of people are basically talking about the upcoming Huangquan Temple Martial Arts Conference in the imperial capital.

As the highest boxing temple in the empire, the Huangquan Temple has been giving favors to the people since it received donations from the empire. In exchange, the Huangquan Temple needs to send some of the most outstanding talents in the temple to serve in the empire.

And this time, the martial arts conference jointly organized by Huangquan Temple and the empire is to absorb fresh blood or obtain high-quality soldiers. The empire has had too many rebellions in recent years, and the army's suppression operations have been somewhat powerless.

The outstanding performers in the competition will receive generous rewards from the empire. In addition to the basic material money, the winners can even ascend to the sky in one step and directly obtain an official position in the imperial military!For this reason, there are many active military elites participating in the competition.

And hearing this news, Selene suddenly became interested.

"Isn't this just for me?"

------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Let's go, Sebastian, you go find a house first, and I'll sign up."

Thanks to the guidance of "kind-hearted" passers-by, Selene successfully found the bulletin board of the empire. Seeing the latest news on the "Huangquan Temple Martial Arts Conference News" posted on it, Selene instantly became excited.

Zhengchou has no way out, so this is here!

Soon, Selene and Sebastian came to the registration office for the martial arts tournament, a huge building like an ancient Roman Colosseum.

After passing through the reception hall, Selene arrived at the display place smoothly. At this time, it was said that there was a sea of ​​people here. Because of the martial arts meeting, too many people came to participate, and there were some caravans among them. There was a lot of traffic, besides the melon-eaters, there were also a large number of players from Huangquan Temple and the military.

The rest, as can be seen from their different styles of clothing, should be local elites from all over the empire.

It seems that the rewards of the Huangquan Temple Martial Arts Competition are not simple!

"Get out...don't even look at your body! Still want to participate in the martial arts competition?! Get out of here...uh..." Originally, when Selene approached, the yellow-faced Zhuang who was in charge of the registration Han Zheng sprayed a thin young man with saliva, and when he was about to drive away, he suddenly saw Selene who stood out from the crowd.

"...Sorry, vulgar person, for disturbing this little... my lord, this way please." The yellow-faced man was going to address Miss, but found that Selene was wearing silver-white light armor, and immediately changed his compliments word.

After all, as a vulgar person, I was able to climb to this position, apart from my own courage, it was because of my wit and strength. This noble young lady looks like a big shot at first glance, and I can't afford to offend her.Judging by the way she is wearing armor, she should be here for the competition, so she can't be called Miss.

"May I ask what your lord is doing here." Ignoring the opinions of the commoners, the yellow-faced man immediately invited Selene to the first row. As for whether to jump in line, who dares to have an opinion!

Selene didn't answer, but looked at the back of the thin young man leaving, and asked in confusion: "Why can't he, according to the announcement on the list, isn't everyone from the empire allowed to participate?"

Hearing this, the yellow-faced brawny sighed, and said, "My lord, you don't know about this. Like them, they come here to compete without looking at their weight. Don't look at him poorly. He should be nearby." It was sent by an underground gambling house, and after participating in the competition, the purpose is to increase the winning rate or odds of a certain player, and then make a cold profit."

"And our duty, apart from being responsible for the registration process, is to prevent and screen such things... I can't say anything about it."

"So that's how it is." Selene suddenly realized that there is no shortage of smart people in any world, and all kinds of black-box operations began to be used before the martial arts competition started.

And the empire still has so many hard-working soldiers at this time, presumably because Minister Jolly has not retired, the old emperor has not died, the empire is still hanging his last breath, and when Ornest comes to power, the empire will also completely go to war. destroy.

"Help me sign up."

"Yes!"

Seeing the yellow-faced strong man in front of him taking out his pen and writing vigorously after being notified, Selene couldn't help being a little amused. A strong man over two meters tall with a palm as big as a palm fan was holding a hand that was not as small as him. Finger big pen to write documents...

Is this Zhang Fei piercing a needle?

"Okay, please take it, my lord." After printing the final seal, the yellow-faced man respectfully handed the meeting certificate to Selene.

"Oh, thank you." After receiving the certification form, Selene got up and was about to leave, but she had a sudden thought and said, "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Kinza."

"Well, I remember you, see you by fate."

......

Because she got the certificate form of the martial arts competition, according to the above description, Selene can first enter the arena to watch related games for free.The martial arts tournament will start in two days.

Just like that, holding her certificate form, Selene came to the auditorium in the arena under the guidance of the waiter.

After hearing the long corridor, as soon as she entered the arena, Selene was attracted by the continuous cheers, and one game had already ended.

In this huge Roman-style arena, except for a huge viewing room in the middle of the eastern auditorium of the arena, the other auditoriums are divided into four floors, and the seats are all in the form of stairs. Surrounding the lowermost playing field.

The higher the level, the more prominent the status or wealth, and Selene is currently on the third level, which is a special seat for the contestants.

Selene immediately made a seat, and soon, the next game began.

Following the referee's introduction, one of the youths with a fierce temperament came out first.

If someone who is knowledgeable sees this young man, he will find that this young man is not simple. Although his face is covered, his deep and dark eyes never let go of any suspicious things. His knees are slightly bent when he walks. With every step, the toes will touch the ground first, and it seems that it will pounce like a cheetah at any time!

This is the attitude of dark professionals!

His opponent, on the other hand, was dressed in a classic Huangquan Temple practice uniform, with a hulking back and arched muscles.

At this moment, he was wearing a knuckle on his bandaged palm, his eyes were sharp, as if no movement could escape his sight.He looked at his opponent, the assassin, very vigilantly.

"start!"

Following the referee's order, the young man who looked like a dark professional dropped several smoke bombs in an instant, and the field was filled with fog.

Seeing this scene, Selene felt a little familiar, a bit like Mist Ninja's silent assassination technique.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound coming from the back of the Huangquan Temple player. This sound can be ignored by ordinary people, but in the ears of these fighters, it was like a stormy sea. He turned his head suddenly, and at the same time Get on guard!

However, he only saw a finger-sized throwing knife stuck in the ground behind him.

is a trap!

Zheng!

The Huangquan Temple player's heart tightened, and he turned his head immediately, but it was too late, he only felt a sharp blade passing by!Without even thinking about it, the right arm swung out instinctively, and at the same time, the legs and waist quickly exerted force, and it was ejected backward like an arrow from the string!

Swish!

In a blink of an eye, the Huangquan Temple player quickly retreated three meters away, but there was already a burning pain in his throat, and a wound half an inch deep spanned his neck.

Obviously, if the reaction of the Huangquan Temple player was a little slower by a fraction of a second, his arteries and trachea would be mercilessly severed by the sudden attack!

"Still fighting, you already..."

The Huangquan Temple contestant followed the prestige, and at this time the young man was standing where he was just now, holding a short knife about two inches long, and the tip of the knife was showing a trace of scarlet.

"continue!"

------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"continue!"

After a roar, the Huangquan Temple player sank down with a horse step, his waist began to accumulate strength, his fists were clenched tightly, and the finger tiger army thorn was spinning rapidly in his palm as if it had a soul, which was dazzling.

Then, the Huangquan Temple contestant took a sudden step, held the army thorn with his backhand, and stabbed towards the opponent's head like a bright lightning!

呲——!

There was a tooth-piercing sound of metal rubbing, and the two clashed instantly. Because of the high speed, countless afterimages were produced, and they crossed each other in the blink of an eye!

Just like a movie film, the first second is fast forwarding, and the next second is still. The two stood back to back at a distance of half a meter, and they were still.

Cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the Huangquan Temple contestant, and he lowered his head slightly, only to see a wound that was big enough to part his flesh and blood across his chest, and his white bones were exposed in the air.And the tendons in his right hand and wrist were also severed, and he could no longer exert force.

But the young man from the assassination team behind him felt even worse. His original black combat uniform was suddenly covered in large swaths of blood, and there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body!

With a beep whistle, the game ended, and the medical staff who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the center of the arena and carried the two out.

The referee then declared the game a draw.

After a moment of silence, the circular building that looked like an ancient Roman arena suddenly burst into thunderous applause, and the cheers continued.

Sitting in the auditorium, the first thing Selene felt was the extremely warm atmosphere in the auditorium.

The cheers came one after another, like stormy waves crashing on the shore. The huge sound waves made it difficult for each other to hear each other when they were speaking at close range.

Soon the next game will start...

......

In the afternoon, Selene walked out of the Imperial Arena a little bored. In the auditorium, Selene watched the game all afternoon. In addition to the Huangquan Temple, various genres also appeared on the stage, and it was dazzling for a while of.

But Selene was also tired from seeing the back. After all, after watching for so long, no one's strength could catch her eyes, and everyone's strength was too weak. Isn't this just a child's play in her eyes?

Looking around, there is no one who can fight.

"Hey, let's go find Sebastian, I don't know where he bought the house...Let me check...um! I found it." Through the induction of her own family members, Selene easily sensed Sebastian's location.

"This is it?" Selene looked at the small villa that was okay, and nodded slightly, it was okay.

Although the area is small, it has more modern sentimental buildings. It uses its own straight lines and silver steel windows to give people a sense of novelty, generosity and comfort.
