Ice covered Musa's palms and spread up his arms. The flames above his head condensed into a huge meteorite that was about to fall.
Musa closed his eyes and said with a pious expression, "Shaman God of the Barbarian Tribe, your people pray for your protection and protection!"
Ancient Barbarian Shaman's God's Protection!
Suddenly, countless ancient barbarian characters appeared on the big hammer. A milky white light bloomed and formed a protective shield that covered Musa and Ruili!
Meteorite!
To everyone's surprise, there was no earth-shattering sound or dazzling light. The milky white shield moistened everything silently. The meteorite gradually disintegrated and turned into a pile of gravel.
The flames were extinguished and the ice melted. Everything happened so suddenly, but … it was so reasonable.
"We … admit defeat."
After Kaka North finished speaking, the three brothers fell together. Their magic was completely drained. Even an ordinary person could easily throw them out of the ring.
Musa stood up with a pale face. His palms were frostbitten and his arms had turned purplish-red. The Ancient Barbarian Shaman's God's Protection blocked the Arctic Purgatory, but as a price, Musa, who prayed for protection, had to bear the damage caused by the ice.
After the referee announced Hammer City College's victory, Kane was the first to appear in the ring. He supported Musa who was on the verge of collapse. "I'm sorry. If I hadn't been eliminated, it wouldn't have been so difficult."
Musa shook his head with a smile. "It's not your fault."
Ruili walked over with her big hammer. She curled her lips and said, "Yes, it's my fault. Kane, you were eliminated because you saved me."
"It's good that you won. Ahem," Musa comforted her.
"Thank you to both sides for bringing us such a wonderful match!"
After a few days of competition, the commentator gradually put away his prejudice against Hammer City College. "At the same time, congratulations to Hammer City College for advancing to the finals!
Good luck to the Universidad Católica next year! "
In the spectator area of Night City College, Lyon looked at the serious faces of the kids and said, "Okay, don't think about Hammerhead anymore. Let's think about the next match."
"Hammer City College's Ancient Barbarian God's power and the mysterious Shaman's power are indeed troublesome, but before that, you have to pass the Royal Academy's test," Sarah said.
…
"I might not be able to go out tonight. There's a problem with the negotiation of a batch of goods."
Tiny Dot had been very busy these days. She had to deal with business during the day and take Kyle to Hammerhead at night.
"What is it?
Who are they? "
Kyle had heard a lot of news about the Academy Competition in the past few days. He was in a good mood after knowing that City of the Night had advanced to the semifinals.
"They're relatives of Grand Duke Puyol. They're more or less related to me by blood. They're trying their best to bargain with me. They probably know that I'm dumping this batch of goods, so they're pushing the price very hard," Tiny Dot said unhappily.
"I'll go with you. I have nothing to do anyway."
Tiny Dot nodded. With Kyle around, at least he wouldn't have to worry about the other party's threat. The encounter in the Fairy Forest had caused his caravan guards to suffer heavy losses, and he hadn't had the time to rebuild them yet.
Hammerhead was very cold at night because it was close to the Tula Kara Desert. Tiny Dot put on a coat and arrived at the manor where they had agreed to meet.
"Viscount Pulis, is this how you treat your guests?" Tiny Dot said with a cold expression.
After entering the manor, all the guards acted as if they were escorting a criminal. They brought him and Kyle to the main hall, and the main hall was also surrounded by a circle of fully armed guards. It seemed like they wanted to give Xiao Budian a show of strength.
"What are you talking about? Hammerhead is a barbarian city after all. I live too cautiously every day. I'm afraid that I'll be beaten to death if I say or do something wrong."
Tiny Dot could only endure the sarcastic Pulis. After all, he was a businessman. He couldn't afford to offend such a big client.
After sitting down, Tiny Dot ignored the servant who was serving him tea and said directly, "We risked our lives to transport this batch of goods across the Fairy Forest to Hammerhead. 500,000 gold coins is a reasonable price."
"I'll say it again. I didn't force you to cross the Fairy Forest. 300,000 gold coins, not a single copper coin more." Pulis looked as if he had Tiny Dot in the bag.
"You can't say it like that, Viscount Pulis."
Tiny Dot said calmly, "If I don't cross the Fairy Forest, this batch of goods will take at least a month to reach Hammerhead. You should know the price after a month. Don't talk about 300,000 gold coins, even 100,000 gold coins might not be enough."
"Don't be greedy. You can still make a few tens of thousands of gold coins."
Pulis' words made Tiny Dot laugh in anger. "I wasted so much time and lost half of my companions. Is it only worth a few tens of thousands of gold coins?"
"Yes. What else?
Sometimes, life is only worth so much. "
Xiao Budian took a deep breath, looked at the aggressive guards around him, and said coldly: "Since you have threatened me again and again, then I can only find other partners."
Pulis sneered. He stood up and clapped his hands. In an instant, all the guards unsheathed their swords.
"I've already spread the word. I don't believe anyone in Hammerhead dares to cooperate with you!"
The atmosphere in the main hall was tense. Kyle said helplessly, "Alice said that we can talk things out. Violence can't solve problems. I also know the price of this batch of goods. In the current market, it can easily sell for 600,000 gold coins. Viscount Pulis is almost there."
"Who do you think you are?"
Pulis coldly snorted, "You are wrong about one thing. Violence really can solve problems. Today, the contract is here. You have to sign it whether you want to or not!"
Pulis slammed the parchment contract on the table. The guards surrounded Kyle and Tiny Dot. If Tiny Dot didn't sign the contract, the guards' swords would be at their necks in the next second.
Tiny Dot gnashed his teeth. He didn't expect Viscount Pulis to be so shameless.
Kyle stood up and said, "We are all doing business. Why do we have to fight?"
"Noisy. Kill this fly for me!"
Pulis impatiently commanded the guards, "I'm talking business with your master. Who are you to speak?"
"Watch out!"
Ding!
The two longswords slashed at Kyle's neck at almost the same time. Xiao Budian was also stunned. In his opinion, Kyle was just a magician. Facing the longswords of the guards, he should have thought of a way to dodge or use a magic shield.
But Kyle just let the sword swing towards him. He didn't do anything. He didn't even blink.
Kyle looked down at the sharp blades on his neck and helplessly spread his hands, "I wanted to talk business with you as an ordinary person, but in exchange, you are indifferent and violent. I'll stop pretending. I'll lay my cards on the table."
"Kill him!"
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! No one could break Kyle's defense. With a body forged by the World Tree, ordinary weapons couldn't hurt Kyle at all.
Kyle grinned and said Blackie's line.
"Actually, I'm a demon king, the kind that eats people."
