"Father, mother, I really want to participate in the fighting convention …"

"Get lost!

Let's see if you dare!

You're itching for a beating! "

This was a conversation that appeared in almost every aristocratic family in the Holy City in recent days. It was all because of the change in the rules of the fighting convention. The naughty children couldn't control their inner turmoil, and they all wanted to participate. They all had a kind of honeyed confidence that they would become heroes who saved mankind if they went. Punching the Sea Serpent and stepping on the demons would be cool.

No one knew who gave them such confidence!

Even the children who hadn't graduated from school wanted to join in the fun!

They didn't even look at their own standards. They weren't even mid-level fighters!

Were they rushing to their deaths like this?!

The foreigners also started to grumble. Who knew that there would be such a thing this time? If they knew that there was no limit to the number of people this time, they would have brought more people.

But in fact, they couldn't bring many people to participate in this convention. What if they brought all the strongest warriors in the clan to the base camp?

Were they waiting to be broken through?

Don't show off your brilliance here. When you go back home, your home will be torn down.

As for why the rules were changed, no one was too clear.

The main thing was that the changes were also very strange. The fact that there was no limit to the number of people seemed to be a great advantage for the Golden Banner, who had the home ground, or for the entire human force. However, if there was no limit to the level, each race could still rely on their strong individual ability to obtain a ranking.

The fighting convention was not simply a matter of numbers. Maybe the mid-level and high-level fighters would be tired out, but who heard that the master-level fighters would be afraid of more people?

Especially the mages, if the mages went up, they would use Thousand Miles of Ice. How could they play?

If there was no limit to the level of the participants, the Pope on the human side could still appear, but at the same time, the First Priest on the Sea Serpent's side could also appear. Previously, the Second Priest appeared and almost tied with His Majesty the Pope. This time, the First Priest was replaced with the older, uglier, and more mysterious First Priest. Could His Majesty the Pope really win?

The change in the rules made the people with brains jump. Although they didn't understand why it was changed like this, there was definitely a problem.

Only the little ones who only knew how to have fun thought that this was a good thing that could "show the strength of mankind". They all jumped up and down, wanting to register. In the past two days, there had been butlers and guards of various races standing outside the registration office. They caught every one of them they saw. It was easier than catching rabbits.

They couldn't even beat their own bodyguards … God knows why they wanted to participate in the tournament.

The brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth: "I won't!

Even Xu Jun is participating in the event that I want to participate in!

I cannot fall behind him! "

The naughty child's parents finally couldn't take it anymore and slapped him on the butt. "You want to compare yourself with others?

Who is Xu Jun? How can you compare yourself with him? "

To put it nicely, he was a hero. To put it bluntly, he was just an orphan without parents. What could such a person have to worry about?

Let alone a fighting tournament, he even dared to challenge the Demon King. If he had a family, parents, and brothers, would he be willing to do such a thing?

Who would do something like this, where one's life could be at any moment?

Only the Toloman Family was relatively quiet. The youths in the family didn't make a fuss about going to the tournament to seek death.

The eldest young master of the Toloman Family, Kaspinder, was definitely going to participate. Last time, he was one of the three contestants on the human side. With his serious attitude and style that didn't hurt people's lives, he attracted a group of fans. Ever since he became a magician and scholar, that was the first time he walked into the public's eyes. And because he still had very powerful strength and control over the family, he was also expected to become the only patriarch in the history of the Toloman Family who was "not handsome, not romantic, and had wrinkles".

… It didn't seem like it would make anyone happy.

Kaspinder Toloman had two cousins. The one named Larde was a typical member of the Toloman Family. Putting aside whether he was strong or not, his flirtatious behavior and flirtatious smile were very good at attracting girls. From this point alone, he was definitely a typical member of the Toloman Family.

The younger one was in his early twenties. His name was Ska. He was considered handsome, but he had a bad temper and was prone to causing trouble. It was because of this that he was sent to the academy in the south to temper this child's temperament. This year, Ska's studies were successful, so he returned to the Holy City with his friends who went to the south with him.

Ever since the rules of the fighting tournament were changed, almost all the naughty children were waiting for Ska to show up. If Ska took the lead to sign up, they could use this as an excuse. At that time, all the noble children in the city would cause a ruckus, and their parents wouldn't be able to suppress the naughty children.

The Regus Family's Sig and Yma even formed a "Freedom Alliance". They were afraid that it wouldn't anger their parents to death.

However, ever since Ska left Xu Jun's house that day and returned to his own house, he shut himself in and didn't come out. They didn't know whether this guy was grounded or he didn't dare to participate in the tournament.

Speaking of which, it seemed that Deinister also shut himself in and didn't come out for a long time …

No one knew what Ska and Deinister were feeling. At Xu Jun's house, they were shocked beyond belief. Your Majesty The Demon King actually had that kind of relationship with their good friend (good senior) Xu Jun. This was really unexpected.

For two days, Ska and Deinister had a tacit understanding to stay in their room and not eat or drink. It was as if they were going on a hunger strike to die.

Their respective families were worried to death. When they asked what happened, they didn't say anything. They just stared blankly and looked like they had lost weight.

"What's wrong with this child?" The Pope sat at the head of Deinister's bed and looked at his clever and well-behaved (?) son.

The Pope almost burst into tears when his adopted son became like this. "Gnar, you follow him every day. Did you see anything wrong before?"

Gnar was holding a bowl of meat soup. When he heard the Pope's words, he rolled his eyes in his heart. Who was the one who said that the Saint had to learn to take care of himself when he was old? Even the Guardian Knights couldn't follow him every day.

The Pope also knew that Gnar had been busy since he came to the Holy City. He studied with several Knight Commanders every day and couldn't see Deinister. He knew this, but he felt even worse. "My little Deinister, how did he become like this … Gnar, go and find Xu Jun to see him. Maybe Xu Jun knows something …"

If possible, he really didn't want to have contact with Xu Jun at this time. If one more person knew about Deinister's current situation, Deinister's position would be more dangerous.

A smart and quick-witted Holy Son would arouse the dissatisfaction of many people. So what if he was a silly Holy Son?

The Pope didn't want Deinister to have a "mentally retarded" stain in his life. So when Gnar proposed to let Xu Jun come to see Deinister, he refused.

Hearing the name Xu Jun, Deinister's dull eyes finally moved slightly. "Xu Jun …"

This weak voice made Gnar and the Pope widen their eyes and almost cry with joy. Deinister finally woke up!

But then two streams of tears came out of Deinister's eyes. "Father, Xu Jun and the Demon King … QAQ How could the Demon King be like this … Gnar, I smell the meat soup in your hand. Bring it quickly. I'm starving …"

At this time, Gnar and the Pope didn't have time to ask him what happened.

The relationship between Xu Jun and the Demon King was not important!

Let Deinister drink some soup first!

This meat soup was secretly made by Gnar. It must be known that in order to show their piety, they usually didn't eat meat or fish. Now … Well, His Majesty the God of Light is wise and benevolent. He will definitely understand Deinister's feelings.

So what everyone saw was a closed door of the Holy See. They didn't know if the Pope had obtained some exclusive information. Now that the Saint didn't come out and the Pope also closed the door, the people who presided over all kinds of activities outside were the Archbishop and the Saintess, Her Highness Eyre. These two were also taciturn. They were afraid that outsiders would get something out of them.

What could they get out of them?

Can't they be more generous?

Almost at the same time, the Emperor of the Golden Banner also began to close the door. Patriarch Toloman went to see him twice. Patriarch Kiel and Patriarch Regus also went to ask him twice. Both times, it was the Second Prince who answered. They didn't even see the Emperor's hair before they were sent out.

This seemed to add a touch of mystery to the upcoming Martial Arts Conference.

The beastmen, mermaids, wood elves, and water elves all began to move. They had long been in contact with the major human clans. In the past, during Grace Day, they often gathered together to communicate.

Not only for the Martial Arts Conference, but also for the various matters after Grace Day.

Every year, after Grace Day, the various forces would have a period of cultural exchange. Many of the leaders of the major forces wouldn't leave immediately. Instead, they would seek further economic and cultural cooperation.

Some races, led by the beastmen, would often say that humans were cunning and despicable. However, they had no choice but to do business with the cunning and despicable humans.

Even the Snow Lion Clan, a small clan in the Far North, had to send their thick elephant skins and tusks to the human market in the North to sell them.

The mermaids' pearl corals, the wood elves' burning wood lanterns, the water elves' water gemstones and water storage stones, and even the Red Fox's heavenly sparrows were all very popular among the humans. However, they didn't have many people and weren't good at business. They couldn't ship goods to human settlements every day. They could only rely on the merchant caravans of the major clans to buy from them.

As time passed, this mutually beneficial alliance grew stronger and stronger. The human nobles would provide them with some information and act as their backers. They only needed to lower the price of their goods. Their losses were within an acceptable range.

Alliances began with business. Up until now, almost all the clans participating in Grace Day were connected to their respective clans. They were bound together for good or ill.

The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion tribe sat together with the patriarch of the Lodi clan, who had been their ally for a long time. They discussed the various things that had happened recently and how to deal with them.

Large clans like the Sand Scorpion tribe didn't attach much importance to the fighting tournament. Anyway, they had lost the first place and there was probably no hope for the second place. They didn't want this undeserved reputation. They just wanted to be in the top ten. The order didn't matter, as long as they didn't lose face.

They weren't like some small clans who fought desperately for a ranking just to not be looked down upon. In the end, it was all for naught.

With this mentality, the Shaman of the Sand Scorpion tribe was naturally more relaxed. He leaned on the sofa with the patriarch of the Lodi clan.

"The rules have been changed, but since we can't see any problems now, let's not worry about it." The patriarch of the Lodi clan was in his sixties or seventies. He maintained himself like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His beard was very neat and symmetrical. He wore a small vest and leaned on the sofa with a big belly. "What did you say just now?

Do you know that Xu Jun? "

The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion tribe narrowed his eyes and smiled. "He went to our place a year and a half ago. When he went to pick the Red Snake Fruit, he saved my clansmen. Because our clan had a conflict with the nearby demons at that time, he comforted us and said 'we will definitely kill the Demon King'. He's a pretty good young man."

The patriarch of the Lodi clan nodded. "It seems that it's true. He really went to challenge the Demon King. That's why Your Majesty The Demon King looked at him as if he wanted to eat him.

I know that your clan and Xu Jun are old friends, but it's better to stay away from him. There's no need to provoke the demons at this time. "

The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion tribe nodded in agreement, but in his heart, he thought that it would be better to help Xu Jun as he had saved several cubs of his clan. It was hard to repay this kindness. Although the Sand Scorpion tribe didn't dare to confront the demons, it was still possible to secretly send some Red Snake Fruit ointment to Xu Jun.

It was said that when the Demon King looked at Xu Jun, his eyes were almost burning. It was really scary.

The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion tribe shook his head. The relationship between the orcs and the demons was not particularly tense. Xu Jun went to challenge the Demon King mainly for the sake of the humans. But now, it was the humans who said to stay away from Xu Jun to avoid getting into trouble.

Humans were really a group of terrifying intelligent creatures.

The other larger clans were also not too worried about their ranking. They knew that this ranking was fake and would not affect their foundation.

The Red Fox Silver Snake Clan was obviously more nervous. They begged their grandfathers and grandmothers to hug their thighs. Near their clan, there were desert bandits and horse bandits running rampant. It was said that they also had the backing of the Serpentis. They had even changed their equipment, so they didn't dare to fight back.

Normally, they could not afford to ask for help from the larger clans around them. They could only hope to get a few more allies during Grace Day. It would be best if they could ask for more money to change their clan's equipment. This way, their warriors would not be chased around by a group of horse bandits.

Although these small clans were relatively weak, the various goods they produced were really good. Their investors were also willing to give them some money to buy long-term peace.

After the matter was settled, they talked for a while about various interesting things that had happened in the Sacred City recently. The name Xu Jun was mentioned again and again. What was strange was that this guy did not seem to be an ordinary warrior, but an adventurer and explorer. Why did so many clans know about him? So many people said that he was a good person and was worthy of being friends.

Occasionally, a few people expressed doubts about Xu Jun's character, but they were strongly refuted. "He dared to beat up the Sea Serpent for the sake of the mermaid at the banquet. Do you dare to do that?"

After thinking about it, it was probably because he had been to many places and knew many people. Moreover, he had angered the Serpentis at the banquet … so his favorability had increased all of a sudden?

However, in the end, everyone could not help but sigh. "Such a good young man. Why did he really go and challenge the Demon King?

That's dangerous! "

The author has something to say: I'll finish writing about the other clans in one go. The next chapter will talk about Junjun the Brave and Xixi the Demon King going shopping.

Or rather, it was something that happened after everyone went shopping.

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
