Free Web NovelChapter 112: Child of Destiny
At noon the next day, Lucien arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.
It was not as crowded as imagined; only five people from Wing Province had made it into the top one hundred.
However, it had to be said that the champion and the third-place winner were both from Wing Province.
As for the others, Lucien was not familiar with them, did not know them, and had no mood to get to know them.
The gap between them was simply too vast. Even among the entire player base of the Dragon Kingdom, Red Bean Cake was the only one who could make Lucien take a second look.
Although she was just a female player, her strength was definitely not weak. That hidden class, Spirit Summoner, was very strong and could even threaten him.
City Lord Li very skillfully handed the three gold equipment gift boxes to the players in the top one hundred.
There was no need for any procedural formalities; as long as their identities were confirmed, the rewards were given immediately.
After giving out the rewards, he immediately ushered these few people out, leaving only Lucien and I Have 28 Centimeters behind.
At this moment, I Have 28 Centimeters was feeling a bit nervous.
After all, everyone else’s rewards had already been given out, but it had suddenly stopped when it reached them.
He was afraid that the City Lord of Yizhou would embezzle his reward.
The third-place reward included two pieces of dark gold equipment and a Boundary Breaking Talisman!
Actually, this couldn’t be helped; after all, the Nine Great Guilds had done this sort of thing plenty of times over the years.
However, he was clearly overthinking it; the nine great city lords did not have such narrow perspectives.
To them, it was just a few Immortal-grade items and a few pieces of dark gold equipment.
Seeing the nervous expression on I Have 28 Centimeters, City Lord Li smiled.
"Wait a moment, the second-place winner of this Martial Arts Tournament, Red Bean Cake, will be here shortly."
As for Lucien, he was even less worried at this moment.
It wasn’t as if he hadn’t dealt with the other party before.
He knew that this person had quite a few good things in their possession.
An Immortal-grade item or an Immortal-grade Skill Manual probably wouldn’t even catch the other person’s eye.
However, compared to last time, perhaps because there were outsiders present, City Lord Li was not as enthusiastic toward Lucien.
The two of them didn’t even speak from beginning to end.
Soon, the City Lord of Qingzhou arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion with Red Bean Cake.
However, when Lucien looked at Red Bean Cake at this moment, his hand trembled involuntarily.
This woman was quite pretty, but her heart was too dark.
You just cast skills a bit faster, did you really have to concede as soon as the fight was over?
However, on the surface, Lucien did not show any displeasure.
The City Lord of Yizhou motioned for them to sit down.
After Lucien and the others sat down, he slowly began to speak:
"There is actually a reason for suddenly holding this Martial Arts Tournament."
Lucien had also been suspicious; after all, the last time, there had been no such thing as a Martial Arts Tournament being held.
Moreover, judging from some rumors, other countries, except for Japan, had almost all held Martial Arts Tournaments.
This situation even caused the players in Japan to be full of complaints.
After all, in the Martial Arts Tournament, as long as one could win a prize, they could obtain better equipment to improve their own strength.
Yet this time, Japan was completely silent.
They couldn’t even see the high-ranking officials of Japan even if they wanted to.
They only knew that for the past few days, the Native Residents of Japan had been very busy, as if something was about to happen.
"Lord City Lord, what is the reason?" Red Bean Cake asked first.
At this moment, the City Lord of Qingzhou said with a very solemn expression:
"The national fate in Japan has encountered problems. For some unknown reason, Mount Fuji over there will erupt before long."
"Huh? What does this have to do with us? Could the volcanic eruption over there affect us?" I Have 28 Centimeters looked at the City Lord of Qingzhou with great curiosity.
Lucien, however, fell into silence; this seemed to have something to do with him. fгeewebnovёl.com
Although the dragon egg had absorbed the national fate of Japan, it had also been suppressing Mount Fuji, preventing it from erupting.
He had taken away the dragon egg, directly affecting the entire national fate of Japan.
This must be the reason for the eruption of Mount Fuji!
The City Lord of Qingzhou continued:
"Life and death, death and life; although the unstable national fate will cause Mount Fuji to erupt..."
"Once Mount Fuji erupts, their entire country might even be destroyed."
"However, it certainly won’t affect us."
"But misfortune and fortune are interdependent; the national fate of Japan will also erupt, selecting a Chosen One."
"With this Chosen One, it is possible for this volcanic eruption to instead become a good thing, and it could even allow their national fate to rise to a higher level."
"Therefore, we hope that you can compete for this Chosen One, so as not to give Japan a chance to fight back."
Lucien was very confused; could this Chosen One actually be contested?
Surely their national fate would choose someone from their own country; how could it possibly choose someone from abroad?
Perhaps seeing Lucien’s confusion, the City Lord of Qingzhou explained again:
"The method for national fate to select a Chosen One is very simple: it uses the national fate to condense into a National Fate Boss. Whoever can land the final kill or deal the most damage will become the Chosen One."
"However, this time, the Chosen One can only be born among you Chosen Ones."
Lucien finally dispelled his doubts; so that was how it worked.
It seemed that because of his rebirth, the impact on this world was quite significant.
"Alright, I will try my best to compete for this Chosen One this time."
Red Bean Cake and I Have 28 Centimeters also nodded.
Although the two of them might not be as good as Lucien in terms of attack power,
they still had the confidence to compete for the final blow on the boss.
Perhaps after fighting this so-called National Fate Boss, they would have the opportunity to catch up with Lucien’s footsteps.
Seeing the eyes of the few people filled with fighting spirit, the City Lord of Qingzhou was very satisfied.
"Hmm, I hope so! All countries in this Destiny are eyeing this National Fate Boss in Japan, and they will definitely send experts to participate in this competition."
"I hope that the three of you can join forces, so that the probability of winning the National Fate Boss will be higher, and you can look out for each other."
The words of the City Lord of Qingzhou made Red Bean Cake and I Have 28 Centimeters look at Lucien very eagerly.
Lucien was simply too mysterious; for so long, they had never seen him cooperate with anyone else.
If they could establish a relationship because of this cooperation, it would definitely be of great benefit to them.
However, upon hearing the word "cooperation," Lucien frowned subconsciously.
He had always been used to acting alone because having too many people made it easy to expose himself.
Although the Nine Great Guilds were finished now, Lucien was still used to being alone.
"Let’s talk about it when the time comes; if it’s really necessary, we will join forces then."
Seeing Lucien refuse, Red Bean Cake and I Have 28 Centimeters were somewhat disappointed.
At this moment, the words of the City Lord of Yizhou reached Lucien’s ears.
"I know you have a Ghost Artifact on you, but the special skill on the Ghost Artifact will be greatly weakened if used against the National Fate Boss; it should only have one-third of its effectiveness."
"Moreover, using a Ghost Artifact will lower your own Luck; if your Luck is too low, it is very easy for accidents to happen."
Lucien looked at the City Lord of Yizhou, but seeing that the other party did not open his mouth, it seemed that the other party was using telepathic transmission to specifically remind him.
As for the reduction in Luck, Lucien had never been afraid of that.
His talent was not for show.
It was just that he didn’t know the special skill of this Ghost Artifact would be weakened against the National Fate Boss.
It seemed that when the time came, he must be careful when using the Ghost Artifact to fight for the final blow on the boss.
He certainly didn’t want the boss he had worked so hard to fight to end up benefiting someone else.
