The Collection of The End

Imperial City, Arena Lounge.

In the somewhat noisy conversation, Kiriko pulled Tazmi aside to denounce.

"Didn't you say that the final round is a good one? What do you want to do when you get the first place? Now we can't leave if we want to."

"Are you too embarrassed to talk about me? Who is number four?"

"Who knew the opponent would be so weak!"

"…"

"…"

Tazmi and Kiriko looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads away.

Really, Lubbock was having a good time himself, and didn't even think about how troublesome he was on his side.

How could it be possible to stay when there was a girl who was going to kill someone if they disagreed, and muttered something like "If anyone can beat Tazmi, they should be eligible to be accepted as the 'eight room'". hand?

Tazmi is very doubtful that if he stops in the top eight, Hei Tong can cut all the top eight... Although he is not sure if other people have any life-saving means, but he does not dare to gamble.

The status of a "slightly powerful country bumpkin" is generally not taken seriously, and it is fine if you enter the finals and do not accept the imperial solicitation, but if you are regarded as a companion of a "killer mad emperor", you are afraid to turn around. The head will be on the wanted list.

"Heh... Are you worried that your boyfriend will be attracted by the prosperity of the imperial capital and finally change his mind?" Not far away, a gentle male voice sounded: "Don't worry, I think Tazmi is a good and responsible man."

"He/she is not my boyfriend/girlfriend!" Kiriko and Tazmi turned their heads in unison and retorted.

"Yes, yes." The owner of the gentle male voice responded with a smile.

"..." Kiriko glared at Tazmi and turned around.

He played really well...

"That, Mr. Run," Tazmi scratched his head: "Is it dangerous to try Teigu? I think she's worried about that."

This is a thin-bodied, mild-mannered young man wearing light blue traditional northeastern national costumes, with long pale blond hair tied into thick braids, soft facial features, green eyes, and a bookish air.

Although he doesn't seem to have any force value, when he is fighting against people, his whole person is like a willow leaf in the wind, his body is erratic, and often the opponent has not found anyone yet, and has been stuck to his neck with a short knife by Lan, and he has to admit defeat.

According to other contestants' gossip, he seems to be the fiancé of the female prefect of a certain province in the northeast. This trip intends to bring back a piece of Teijin so that she will no longer worry about the lack of high-end combat power in the province.

Being praised as a "good man" by such excellent men, Tazmi was even a little ashamed.

"Normally, unless you see Teigu, your first impression of it is 'ugly', 'useless', etc. In that case, it's best not to try it out, or it will probably give you a disapproval." Lan Answer Tazmi's question gently.

"There are no useless emperors, only incompetent emperors." Tazmi responded without hesitation.

The originally noisy lounge was instantly quiet.

The one who stayed in this lounge at this time was naturally invited to join the "Hunter" and was about to try out Teigu's competition conference winner. Although Tazmi won the first place, it was only the result of Hei Tong's deliberately throwing water. Half of the people in this room have never fought.

At this moment, the indifferent Zheng Heitong was leaning against the corner with her sword in his arms, wearing a brown leather suit, the black-haired boy named Wave was talking with the shirtless masked strong man named Bols. Seeing something, Seryu, who once had a relationship, was talking to a middle-aged man with glasses and a white coat who seemed to be called "Dr", with admiration on his face.

And after Tazmi said those words, they all looked this way in unison.

"What's the matter?" Tazmi pretended to be stupid while thinking to himself that he shouldn't have said this: "The empire has only made forty-eight pieces of emperor's tools, and each of them must have its own application, or in other words, there is no substitute for it. , how arrogant does it take to feel that they are more shrewd than the designers and skilled craftsmen who made them?"

"That's right, Tazmi, if you have this idea, I don't think Teigu will reject you, but it's useless for us to say it." Lan responded with a smile.

"So, is it possible that the Teigu for our trial is nearby? The Empire wants us to be judged by the Teigu first?" Will touched his chin and looked around.

This young man... Tazmi somehow felt that he was quite similar to Brand, perhaps in terms of speech, or perhaps in temperament, but it was impossible to tell if he scrutinized it carefully. Hand to hand combat.

"It shouldn't be, right?" Sai Liu fed the chubby dog ​​at his feet with the snacks on the table. "Since there are only forty-eight pieces of Teigu in total, they must be kept very seriously."

Oka's little follower... Although she had a relationship at the beginning, she should not have seen her face clearly in the dark, otherwise she would have killed her long ago with a knife, perhaps stimulated by the incident of Oka, she is now A staunch defender of the imperial law, she had accidentally listened to it before. She participated in this competition not for the sake of Tegu, but in the hope that she could use it to temper herself, in order to have the ability to punish all lawbreakers.

But she obviously didn't understand that the laws were always set by people. If the rebel army finally succeeded, the existing laws in the empire would only have to be revised in half. What would she do then?

"[Hope, yes, mask type, hiss...]" Borus said with heavy breathing.

"Then are you willing to change your mask in public?" Hei Tong looked up at him.

"[Ah...this...]" Boros shook his body and twisted.

Poros...a very tall, muscular man, wearing a bunt, the giant bull's head mask on his face is the clothing that covers the largest area on his body, and he is good at close-quarters fighting and various lock techniques.

Because of wearing a mask, he always spoke with a loud breathing sound, which made it difficult to hear clearly, so he had to speak word by word. However, there was one sentence that he said very smoothly and easily: Don't take off his mask!"

Tazmi even suspected at first that he might be a Nanman who really had a bull's head, but just pretended to be wearing a mask—until the mask was taken away when he fought against Hei Tong.

Beneath the bull's head mask is a... particularly delicate baby face, and the combination of the five and three thick figures can give those who see it a huge spiritual impact. Fortunately, it was only a rematch at that time, and few people saw it in the melee.

"Well, this is troublesome. In fact, I really want to dismantle one or two pieces of Teijin to see how they work." The doctor held up his glasses.

This "Doctor" was the most vigilant person in Tazmi's secret, because he never took any shots in the whole process. Whether it was the preliminary round, the semi-finals, or the finals, all his opponents fell down inexplicably with hemoptysis and were judged as failures. It wasn't until he met Hei Tong, who drove the sword directly to his neck, that he raised his hands to express his surrender.

He's probably controlling some invisible things like the original Lubbock, but it takes time for them to take effect, so if you're going to match him, it's right to control yourself as quickly as possible way of doing.

No... Wait, among all the winners, why is he hostile to him alone, and even thinking about how to deal with it if the two sides are hostile?

Is it a warning from Teigu [Universal Five Vision]? But not when it comes to other people...

call-

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and a slender female figure appeared there with the wind and snow.

At the same time, Tazmi's eyes froze, and "Future Vision" began to warn frantically, but failed to "predict" any danger.

"Winners of the competition," the woman said in a voice like the ice on a snow-capped mountain, "Congratulations on your qualifications to join the 'Hunter' and try out Teigu. The first place will also receive a mysterious prize provided by me personally."

"Ai, Ai, General Esdes?" Kiriko beside Tazmi whispered to him, his teeth chattering.

Don't be nervous, isn't this more suspicious? Even if it's an imperial general, she doesn't know our identity.

Although I really want to say this, I should leave this kind of self-inflicted thing to others.

Tazmi just bumped Kiriko lightly, and whispered "Be careful with manners", then looked up at the woman who appeared at the door.

Is she the general of the Empire? It doesn't look like... um...

It was a beautiful woman with blue hair and blue eyes. Her eyes were sharp and her facial features were cold. Even if she didn't make any arrogant expressions, she looked like a king who was patrolling her territory.

But that didn't matter, what really made Tazmi speechless was what she was wearing: a turquoise garland and a pure white veil on top of her head, a black-trimmed off-the-shoulder top and matching trousers on a white background, holding a Clusters of flowers, with a long white gauze hanging down behind him—this looks like a wedding dress, right? Imperial generals usually wear this?

Tazmi quickly glanced at the other people in the room, and found that they also basically had an expression of "I have never seen this situation before".

Slightly recovering from the shock or amazement, Tazmi found that General Esdes was walking towards him, and there was a... er... complex look in his icy and sharp eyes.

"Future Vision" once again gave a crazy warning, but still couldn't "show" anything.

Combined with the black pupil, this means that if you act rashly, there will be an incalculable death method, right?

After this mission is over, be sure to apply for work-related injury compensation to Chi Tong!

"Are you Tazmi's girlfriend?" Esdes came to Tazmi, but did not speak to him first, but looked at Kiriko standing beside him.

"..." Tongzi waved his hands again and again, quickly backed away, and even panicked to grab Porus's thick arm to show his closeness.

"[You, Hu Chi, are too thin to like.]" Poros looked down at "her".

"...!" Kiriko glared at Poros for two seconds, but didn't let go, and started pinching him instead.

"Pfft." Black pupil leaning on the wall sneered.

…I could laugh at this Lubbock joke for a year.

When Tazmi withdrew his gaze angrily and hilariously, he happened to meet Esdes, who also withdrew his gaze with a faint smile on his face.

I can actually laugh, and it looks a little cute...

"Do you have a brother?" Estes asked.

"No, I'm an only son," Tazmi replied suspiciously.

"Really, this is fate," Estes waved his arms and dropped the bouquet, revealing what he was holding: "As the first place in the competition, you are qualified to be my husband, proudly Put it on."

"..." Tazmi's face turned green when he saw the thing clearly.

It was a golden lock the size of an ordinary person's fist. The handle was also connected to a silver chain with a thick finger. The other end of the chain was connected to Esdes' wrist. Although it was very delicate, the overall It looks the same as the bell of the oxen.

He now really wants to kill himself who just thought she was a little cute.

"This is the imperial tool held by the empire. [Give the sky stars, give the earth flowers, and give people love]. At present, no one has been able to exert his power except as the 'highest-spec wedding dress'." The doctor said, "Young man, didn't you just say 'there are no useless emperors, only incompetent emperors'? Why don't you try to use its power."

"..." Esdes turned his eyes and glanced at the doctor, making him instantly stunned, then turned his eyes back to Tazmi and continued to wait for a response.

Calm, calm, Tazmi thought quickly under the situation of "Future Vision"'s life-threatening warning: Although this Teigu wanted the bride to put a lock on the groom's neck to show sovereignty, according to his own proposal The theory of "imperials don't make useless Teigu", it must not be so useful - although this theory has not been proven.

Since it is a wedding dress, it must be used by married women. The emperor is bestowed and distributed by the emperor, so the only one who will be given a wedding dress by the emperor is the queen, except the married princess.

If it is further ruled out, the princess may lose the emperor, and the possibility is not high. Then, under what circumstances does the queen need the emperor?

Of course it was when the emperor had to go out to fight.

Then the correct way to start this Teigu might be...

Tazmi took a closer look at Esdes' strange wedding dress, and soon found a pale gold neck ring and a small lock on her neck.

This is an imperial general, a powerhouse who can kill himself more than a dozen times by raising his hand...

However, since it is chained, it is better to give it a try.

Because the function of this Teigu is likely to be—

Click.

Tazmi backhanded the golden lock around Esdes' neck.

Perhaps it was unexpected, or out of confidence in his own strength, Esdes did not stop Tazmi's movements, but murderous aura began to condense in his slender and sharp blue eyes.

"I have the obligation to rule the world and start a new era, but when I met you, I almost forgot about this obligation."

Before she could do anything, Tazmi said in a low, hoarse voice:

"Oh, what a terrible woman, so your position in my heart is already as big as the world."

Estes was stunned.

At this moment, the images of the two people in each other's eyes are all changing rapidly. The country boy and the imperial general, the mysterious traveler and the stubborn **** the border, the desperate mandarin ducks who were frozen together and eventually dissipated, died in battles and The eternal separation of life and death transformed into an inhuman thing...

In the end, it was a handsome young man in armor with a long ponytail and a lady in blue dress who was playing the Qiang flute by the water.
