Midnight was quietly hiding in the shadows. The night was its natural disguise. Its devil pet did not deprive the ghost cat of its stealth genes. Although it was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, it was seen by the Marquis de Bougemana. But after that, it could control its hiding ability more and more skillfully, keeping its eye on the target until she returned to her room and fell asleep.
The black kitten licked the back of his hand with satisfaction, ran back to his owner with a sense of pride, reporting the news. It knew that Feiqi would naturally praise him and reward him.
The devil is cunning, don’t believe in the devil, because the devil never believes in humans. Not every devil wants to deceive humans—or no one will sign the devil’s contract—but every human wants to deceive the devil. It’s hard to say who started to deceive whom, and it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that even with the binding power of the contract, the devil never thinks that the situation can be controlled by contract alone. Feiqi also thinks this way.
"The Marquis of Bourgemana wants to kill me with the devil's hand. This is a temptation. She just wants to know how much impact it will be for killing a person from the Hall family. Alas, that woman studied the devil, but as long as she is not a devil, she will never know that the devil can detect lies through changes in her soul." Feiqi used chalk to draw a sketch on the ground, with four characters "I", "Devil", "Milk", and "Sun", and now another "Tes" is added. He drew the characters online, wrote the background and relationships to clarify the whole thing.
"Behind me there is the Hall family. It can be seen that the ‘I’ family is quite powerful, which makes the Marquis very afraid." Unfortunately, Master Hall's memories are all unsightly. There are only a few that are really useful, and they cannot provide information in this regard. "Now it is certain that her main purpose is to make Gresham as strong as possible in the church system, protect the entire family and prevent being harmed by the fork-way demon. In other words, she has figured out the problem in the agreement at that time. It is precisely because of this that after she heard that Gresham could be exempted, she signed a new agreement without hesitation."
"It's a pity that even if her old agreement cannot affect Gresham, I have a Gresham breach of contract agreement in my hand - it means she paid the money, but it won't change anything. The devil is so bad!" Feich shook his head, and became more determined to not make a deal with the devil. "No matter whether she will fall deeper and deeper in the future or wake up, there is always one thing that is certain: tonight, she originally planned to kill me, and she was going to use the hands of the hiring Knight Tse."
Feiqi judged that after signing the contract, Bogeymana went to find Tse again, which is likely to have terminated the murder plan. But this possibility is not 100%, so Feiqi still needs to be particularly careful in tomorrow's competition. Although he can be resurrected if he dies, he can only do it secretly. If he is cut off his head and stabbed his heart in front of everyone, how can he be resurrected? This is unexplainable! The church will definitely investigate. Once the high-level priest comes, Feiqi will definitely reveal his feelings, and he will have to die. Obviously, being killed is never a good deal, and there will be no mistakes.
"It's time to prepare for tomorrow's test." Feich stood up and searched his room. His room, like other Monster Hunter's rooms, serves as both a bedroom and a storage room. Although he uses most of the space to store books and keep cats, there are also some armor and weapons.
Ice Peak Fortress never lacks armor and weapons, and will never treat formal members unfairly. Everyone can choose what they like. Of course, quantity is one thing, quality is another. The best armor here is just a few sets of breastplate, no heavier ones. The protective effect of the whole body armor is better, but you must find a sophisticated craftsman to customize it, and it costs a lot. The cheapest ones will not be less than 1,500 gold coins, and the more exquisite ones will have to be added 20%. The annuity of a small manor is only 500 gold coins. It takes three years to save it to make you imagine having such armor.
Feiqi has a piece of leather armor, which is made of extremely thick animal skin. Then these thick leathers are sewn layer by layer and stuffed into them to enhance the protection effect. This winter they have harvested a lot of leather from wild animals, so most of this leather armor is new. If you look carefully, you can see a row of sewn words in the corner of the leather armor lining: "Wummama protects Feiqi", and you will know whose craft is this.
The roe armor is slightly heavy, and it is already considered a Chinese armor. The protective effect is second only to the scale armor, which is quite good. The main reason is that this thing is very convenient to maintain. If it is broken, just find a piece of leather to make up. The scale armor needs to be replaced, the breast armor needs to be beaten and beaten, and the chain armor needs to be reinstalled... For monster hunters who are going to take risks outside and have no servants, the roe armor is the best choice - but this is not safe in duels.
Anti-cut, stabbing and blunt attack, the leather armor has weaknesses. Feiqi thought about it for a while, took out the leather armor along the maintenance line, found the filling layer, took out some hard bristles, and then stuffed a few thin iron sheets to protect the heart, ribs, and waist. In order to keep warm, the leather armor in the Bingfeng Fortress has a collar, and Feiqi also stuffed the thin iron sheets into it.
The iron piece was originally used to protect the corners of the book. It was made very thin and could be cut with scissors. I wish I could tear it open with my hands. I had basically no protection ability. However, doesn’t Feiqi have a legal armed seal? This is a spell specially used to strengthen weapons and armor. Others value their improvement effects on weapons, while Feiqi pays more attention to saving lives.
Put on the leather armor, the iron sheets stuffed in immediately began to shift, and all fell down in the interlayer of the clothes. Feiqi concentrated his mind and used the law to arm the law. The power of the seal started from his arms and immediately penetrated into the leather. The thread that had just been disassembled was re-sewn and tightened, and the iron sheets squirted to the most appropriate position, and then closely integrated with the leather part. The collar of the leather armor tightened, and the iron sheets formed a whole circle of protection around the neck. The clothes became tight and fit, and did not hinder movement - but it was still as heavy.
Feiqi took a dagger and stabbed it into his stomach. The dagger broke while penetrated. The sharp metal only pierced the skin without a fatal threat, but the magic seal was consumed a lot. Take out the dagger fragments and Feiqi used the magic seal again, and the damage of the leather armor can also be slowly repaired. However, it is obvious that sewing and repairing it first and then using the magic seal will save more power.
After experimenting several times and leaving some small wounds on his body, Feiqi basically understood. Legal armament can give Legal armor the effect similar to high-quality half-body armor (after all, only the upper body, no leg protection), and good protection for cutting, pricks and blunt attacks, especially it can reduce fatal damage and make it "look" less fatal. Feiqi wants this, and he wants a "reasonable reason why I'm not dead."
"When I have the chance, I'll try putting ceramics inside, and we'll make a set of composite armor too!" Feiqi tried to cast spells in this "armor jacket", and then found that the metal sheet inside would affect the operation of the lightning-squeezing spell, that is, there would always be electricity leakage, hurting others and oneself. Although for a resurrected devil, fighting to the death is nothing, the painting style is too ugly, and it's not good. Then he thought of ceramics and composite armor.
"By the way, I still need protection under my crotch, but what should I do? Iron sheet?" Feiqi put down his armored jacket, yawned and began to worry about other things.
The night passed, and the next day began with a hangover-hard morning. At this time, no one said that the quality of the wine stored in the Bingfeng Fortress was good, and they all hated why they didn't drink less yesterday. Really smart people, such as the residents of the Fortress, and Tse, who was still fighting today, were all energetic and full of confidence.
The assessment ground is set up on the training ground, and there is no need to clean up here, which is very convenient. The Gresham patrolman was wearing military uniform, pressing the top of his head with a lobster iron guard, and patting it from time to time, leading the Paladins to the scene. They were in bad condition, and even worse than the hired knights of the Marquis de Bougemana next door. Of course, on the one hand, the hired knights have a higher alcohol tolerance, and on the other hand, if they really fight, the Paladins will quickly get rid of various unfavorable states such as hangovers with the help of magic, and their combat effectiveness will still be better.
"Get started now." Gresham threw himself into the seat prepared by Kelle for him, and announced: "There were four new monster hunters in the Ice Peak Fortress last year, which was a very good performance. The latest one to start training was Feige Hall, now called Feige Snowman Ice Peak. Overall, he can represent the training level of the newcomer in the Ice Peak Fortress, so it was merged into a game."
"Tsebeck, you can test Fitch's combat ability. This is not a duel, not a life-and-death battle, it's just a test. Show your level, but don't cause serious injuries. Well, enter the venue, you are not children anymore."
The muscles on Tse's cheeks twitched, and then entered the field with a long sword and a shield. Feiqi held a crossbow and a mace was hung on his waist. The combination of far and near obviously had an advantage at the beginning and could take the lead in attacking. However, this advantage only had a chance to have a one-hit attack, and it would be suppressed by the sword and shield combination, so both sides were relatively fair.
What is unfair is the armor. Tsez is wearing chain armor in leather armor. Although it also has a bit of a composite armor, it is far from being as strong as Feich, who has been strengthened by the legal armament. Moreover, he does not wear a helmet, and Feich also wears this pointed iron helmet to protect his ears and the back of his head.
The paladins whispered and expressed contempt for the cowardly guardian of Feich. After all, this is just an assessment and will not hit the head. The helmet will only affect the sight and movement, and it is more important to play beautifully. And use a crossbow?
"You just ran up to the city wall and used a crossbow! The kind that fired a barbarian net!" Obviously, the Paladin of the Sunset Mountains was very clear about the fortress's defense tools: "Haha, did you dig a pit in advance?"
When Tse heard this, he frowned and looked at the ground, which caused a burst of laughter. Feich was not in this list. He jumped hard on the field for a few times, then came to Tse and showed him the crossbow: "Look, there is no metal, only wooden poles, the top is flat, just one shot."
"Okay." Tsez nodded and returned: "This sword is blunt, but it will still hurt if you get knocked."
He didn't seem to have much hostility when he heard his tone, but Feiqi decided to be careful. He and Ziss were far apart and secretly used the "God of God" seal to increase his luck.
Gresham shouted "Start", and Fitch picked up the crossbow and shot. He aimed at Tse's belly, and the crossbow arrow was halfway through and was thrust by the long sword, and then he hit the unprotected neck by a devil. Everyone present was stunned, "How do you calculate this?"
If the crossbow arrow hits the neck, it is equivalent to the killing effect, and Fisch should be considered to win. But this is the long sword that is pushed over. Even if it is a real crossbow arrow, how much lethality can be left? This can only be determined by the subjective judgment of the main officer, or the people on the field decide by themselves. As a result, Gresham did not announce that Fisch won, and Tse just stopped, and did not say that he had lost, but continued to rush forward with a long sword.
Feiqi frowned and his eyes became very sharp. He quickly took back, threw away the crossbow, but did not take out the nail hammer, but raised the goddess's holy emblem high, cast magic in the name of divine art, and created lightning to attack Tse.
The opponent's metal chain armor helped a lot. After the shining lightning, Tse fell to the ground and fainted, but his limbs were still trembling uncontrollably.
Feich obviously won.
Chapter completed!
