Chapter 237 Shuangye Town (II)

Walking on the street, Ferran looked curiously at the block in front of him, and beside him, Franca and Culona showed the same expression.

It was noon at the moment, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, but it was easy to distinguish their status from their clothes.Those who are fully armed are naturally soldiers, while those who wear shabby clothes basically belong to slaves and servants. On the contrary, those who wear different clothes but are clean and tidy should be the upper-class residents here. This is not arbitrary in Faerun, but because Those who come and go are accompanied by a familiar.

This is really interesting...

Seeing a man with the appearance of a falcon swaggering past him, Fei Lun was very curious. He could be sure that the other party did not use any special means he imagined to restrain these familiars, but these familiars showed But he was quite obedient, which made Fei Lun really puzzled. At the same time, he became more and more curious about this Shuangye Town.

"Do you feel out of place here, Delin?"

Thinking of this, Fei Lun couldn't help lowering his voice, and asked the black cat lying on his shoulder.In Fei Lun's view, Shuangye Town can gather so many familiars, either because the forces here have created some special means to restrain the familiars, or the core characteristics of the nodes here can be related to suppressing the familiars, otherwise those Why is the bear boy so obedient?At this moment, the familiars of other people seem to be normal, so Fei Lun has to think about the problem from another perspective.

"No, master."

Hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, the black cat first licked its paw, and then spoke softly.

"I just feel that everything is normal, and there is no threat to me here, but..."

"But what?"

"But... I don't know how to put it, I don't really want to make trouble here..."

Having said this, Delin couldn't help turning her head to look around, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"This is a kind of intuition, which cannot be explained in words. Simply put, it is like walking on ice, and you will instinctively walk lightly..."

"I see."

Hearing Delin's answer, Phelan nodded.Familiars always have weird intuitions that humans cannot imagine, and it seems that there is indeed something here.Or maybe it was because those familiars instinctively sensed some kind of danger, so they didn't dare to act rashly here?If this is the case, then what is it that can make these familiars turn from bear children into three-good students?

"Franka, how do you feel?"

Thinking of this, Fei Lun looked at Franka on the other side of him, and Franka shook her head when she heard Fei Lun's question.

"I don't feel anything, Master."

That's right, after all, it's not a regular familiar...

Just as Fei Lun was thinking, the voice of the man in the suit sounded again.

"Mr. Phelan, since you know our rules, you should understand very well that we need you to accept a test next."

"You mean the placement match."

Of course, Fei Lun understood what the man in the suit was talking about, and upon hearing Fei Lun's question, a smile finally appeared on the dead face of the man in the suit.

"It seems that Mr. Fei Lun really knows it. That's right. Since you joined our Shuangye Town, you must first participate in the ranking competition. Through the ranking competition, we can judge the power of you and your familiars. Intensity and level, so as to determine the level of residents to be given to you, I think Mr. Phelan should understand."

"of course."

Fei Lun didn't care about this. In the wasteland, fists are always king, and it is only natural to judge size from strength.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"We will go to the arena now, and after entering the arena, Mr. Phelan, you can choose one of the five demon guardians stationed in the arena to challenge, as long as you can get the approval of that guardian, or Defeat the opponent, then you can get the right to live in Shuangye Town... Of course, these five guardians are not easy to deal with, and please be careful, they are not kind people, one is not good, it is very likely to make you The familiar is injured... so please choose carefully, after all, everyone only has two chances, if you fail two challenges in a row, then you have to leave Shuangye Town..."

While listening to the man in the suit's detailed explanation, Fei Lun and his party were led by the man in the suit to the "arena" he called, and the so-called "arena" was actually just an abandoned equestrian field.It's just that it's different from what Fei Lun expected, this place is not deserted, on the contrary, it is quite lively.

"There are so many people here participating in the qualifying competition?"

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Fei Lun couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.Looking around, there are a total of five or sixty people here, plus their familiars, it is not a small number.

"After joining Shuangye Town, you can have an opportunity to upgrade once a year."

The man in the suit was not surprised by this, and quickly gave an answer.

"Many people have just come here and only dare to challenge the lowest-level guardians. Although they have obtained the qualifications to live in Shuangye Town, they will not be treated very well. But if they can pass the level-up challenge, they can Improve your resident level."

Having said that, the man in the suit showed a confident smile, then looked at Fei Lun and said.

"According to the rules, new entrants don't need to queue up and can challenge immediately. Which guardian do you want to challenge?"

As he spoke, the man in the suit glanced at the black cat lying on Fei Lun's shoulder.Although he is just an ordinary person, he is not a person with abilities, nor does he have a familiar.But I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running, so I have some understanding of the strength and level of familiars.Although Delin has demonstrated the ability to manipulate lightning at the gate just now, she is still in animal form. Generally speaking, the strength of familiars in animal form is relatively low. Therefore, in the eyes of the man in the suit, Faerun will probably Choose a relatively simple test.

But... Fei Lun said, why should he be compared with those weak chickens?
"Will I be able to play in the test of the Guardian?"

"This………"

Hearing Fei Lun's question, the man in the suit couldn't help being taken aback. Obviously, he didn't often hear such questions.Generally speaking, ordinary people are afraid of hiding from familiars, so why would someone take the initiative to seek trouble with familiars?But since Fei Lun raised this question, the man in the suit naturally had to answer it.

"This... is not stipulated in the rules, so it should be possible, but Mr. Fearon, you have to think clearly, no matter what happens in the arena, you will not be disturbed by others. In other words, if you If you die in the arena, no one will come to rescue you!"

"Okay, I know."

Hearing this, Fei Lun was even more excited. He glanced at the racetrack in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then gave an answer.

"Then, let's find the strongest one."

"………Aha?"

Hearing Fei Lun's answer, the man in the suit was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he finally realized, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Fei Lun.

"Sir, do you mean to challenge the S-rank guardian?"

"I don't know if it's S or M. In short, just call out the strongest one to serve you."

"Call out..."

Hearing this, the man in the suit had a completely dumbfounding expression on his face. He swallowed and looked at Fei Lun again.

"Mr. Phelan, have you really decided? You know, this guardian is very powerful, but his temper is also very violent. Once you step into the arena, life and death may be up to you!"

"I know."

This time, without waiting for the man in the suit to say anything else, Fei Lun waved his hand to interrupt his dissuasion.

"I have decided."

"All right………"

Hearing what Fei Lun said, the man in the suit couldn't say anything more, he could only sigh helplessly, and then led Fei Lun and his party towards the innermost arena.

Although the arena itself was huge, there were not too few people there. Soon, news spread that a newcomer wanted to challenge the S-rank guardian.For a while, many people even gave up their own promotion competitions, but flocked to the arena where Fei Lun was. First, they were very interested in that daring newcomer. Second, they also wanted to see the legend. The S-level guardian in the movie is very powerful.It is rumored that since the establishment of Shuangye Town, no more than ten people dared to challenge the S-level guardians, and none of them passed the level safely.And for many people who joined Shuangye Town, the S-level guardian is a rumored god, and everyone wants to see it.It's just that no one was stupid enough to do this kind of thing in the past, but now, since some people are willing to go up, then other people will naturally have fun to watch.

Under the energy network, rumors spread much faster than word of mouth. Soon, there were more and more people in the arena, which originally only had dozens of people, and soon exceeded a hundred people.Many people gathered around the S-level arena not far away to talk about this bold newcomer, and among them there were naturally strong presences in Futaba Town.

"Who do you think will challenge the S-rank guardian?"

Looking at the arena in front of her, a woman with short brown hair tilted her head with a smile, looked at the middle-aged man beside her, and asked.At the same time, she stretched out her hand and lightly stroked the familiar on her shoulder—it was a phoenix burning with flames all over its body, but under the woman's touch, this phoenix looked down intimately. He turned his head, touched the woman's hand, and let out a soft cry.

"Humph!"

Hearing the woman's question, the middle-aged man snorted coldly.

"Aren't you just a fool?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man grabbed the iron chain in his hand and pulled it hard. Accompanied by his movement, a lion-like familiar with a black body and two heads roared and stared fiercely. Looking at the arena in front of him.Sensing the gaze of the familiar, the other people who were standing in front of it immediately backed away, for fear that one of them would accidentally become the opponent's food.

"If you are really a fool, then what are you doing here?"

This time it was an old man who spoke out. Judging from his white beard and hair, he was probably at least 80 years old.At this moment, the old man was leaning on the wheelchair, squinting his eyes, and staring at the middle-aged man beside him with a sly smile.And behind him, stood an extremely beautiful woman.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the snake tail on her lower body.

"I'm just here to see the Guardian."

Facing the ridicule of the old man, the middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged.

"I've been in Shuangye Town for so long, and I've never seen an S-level guardian..."

"Then you go to challenge it, won't you see it?"

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the woman on the other side interrupted him with a smile, and when he heard this, the middle-aged man's expression darkened.

"Hmph, what does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing the middle-aged man get angry, the woman on the other side naturally did not tease him, but looked curiously at the old man next to him.

"Speaking of uncle, you have been in Shuangye Town for so long, and you are a living dictionary here. Tell us, what is an S-level guardian like?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him because of this, the old man gave a wry smile, and then sat up straight.

"I've lived such an old age, and I've never seen an S-level guardian. Generally speaking, S-level guardians will not accept challenges."

"what?"

Hearing this, not only the middle-aged man and the woman beside him were taken aback, but also the other people who pricked up their ears were also taken aback.It's no wonder that they have always believed that the only question of whether they can successfully pass the qualifying match and the promotion match, and those guardians will not reject their challenge, but now it seems that this is not the case?

"But the other guardians..."

"Other guardians are other guardians, and S-rank guardians are different."

Before the woman could ask a question, the old man shrugged and shook his head.

"Then what are you doing here, uncle? Aren't we busy?"

Hearing this, the woman curled her lips in dissatisfaction.But this time, the old man shook his head.

"No, it's different this time."

"different?"

"Yes."

While speaking, the old man raised his head and looked at the arena in front of him.I saw Fei Lun standing there, stroking the black cat lying in his arms.The old man frowned slightly watching this scene.

"In the past, there were people who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth tried to challenge the S-level guardians, but they were basically rejected directly, and they couldn't get on the arena at all. Now, since this kid has already stepped on the arena and stood There, it means that the S-rank guardian has accepted his challenge."

"really interesting…………"

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help narrowing her eyes, and looked carefully at the black cat in Fei Lun's arms.

"No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary familiar, there's nothing worth paying attention to at all."

"Then it's the person himself that deserves attention."

The middle-aged man answered, and then stopped talking.

And at this moment, all of a sudden, everyone felt a strange cold air suddenly emerge, and even the flame of the fire phoenix on the woman's shoulder seemed to have weakened a lot at this moment.Feeling the chill, the old man's complexion changed slightly, and he yelled in a low voice.

"coming!"

The cold wind howled.

Fei Lun raised his head and looked forward.In front, on the originally empty arena, a black shadow slowly emerged and descended from the sky.Seeing this black shadow, Fei Lun was taken aback for a moment, and then, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a mocking smile.

"Where in life do we not meet each other... don't you come here without any problems?"

Facing Faerun's greeting, the black figure didn't speak. Instead, it slowly rotated and turned into a shape that looked like a person wearing a black cloak.Then, the black shadow floated forward like a ghost, and at the same time, a sharp sickle emerged from the black cloak and slashed towards Faerun!
