"House, you did a great job."
When walking into the club.
Haiwei'er was not stingy in her praise and was very satisfied with Li Ba's performance just now.
"This is all due to the master's teachings."
Li Ba followed the routine and his tone was very humble.
"Haiweier, you are indeed a good follower."
Cruise, who was accompanying him, said this with a smile, looking at the purple scarf on Li Ba's head, and said half-jokingly: "His style is better, very avant-garde."
"Of course I hand-picked this headscarf," Haiweier said very proudly.
This headscarf was indeed chosen by Heverl, and it was she who asked Li Ba to wear it.
The specific intention was not for image, but to cover up the magic lock on Li Ba's forehead.
A top-notch magical tool crafted by the empire's greatest alchemist, used to imprison a subordinate.
You can imagine that there is something unusual about it.
The children of the big families in the capital all have keen eyesight.
Once they recognize the magic lock, they can deduce the depth of House's strength.
Heverl's trip was to avenge her shame and completely suppress her rival's arrogance.
Before taking the field, of course, one cannot reveal one's own details, lest opponents become wary.
This headscarf was born from this.
"House" Cruz was a nice person.
He called out Li Ba's nickname and gave him a kind reminder, "Julia's retinue has superb fighting skills and is one of the very few wrathful warriors among barbarians.
She has strong physical strength and defensive power."
Not weak, you have to be careful when you play later."
Regarding his main target this time, or rather his opponent, Watson the Barbarian.
Li Ba already knew this.
Barbarians are gifted with divine power.
Originally, the hand-to-hand combat ability was extremely strong.
Their race also has a very small number of angry blood warriors.
Possessing weird talents, he fights against enemies.
It can increase its own strength tenfold in an instant, reaching a terrifying level.
An ordinary barbarian warrior has about the strength of level five to level seven, which is fully reflected in the inmate Arquette.
However, when this type of angry blood warrior activates his talent, his physical strength can instantly increase to level eight or even level nine.
If we just talk about hand-to-hand combat ability.
Invincible Because of this, Julia, a busty beauty, won a lot of money at the Tulip Club with her followers.
Among them, most of them are sponsored by Heiweier.
Li Ba expressed his sincere thanks to Cruise for his advice.
At the same time, he was also a little curious.
He wanted to see how powerful the barbarians' blood-wrath warriors were.
We walked a hundred meters.
Directly ahead.
A tall domed building appears.
From the outside, it looks gorgeous yet low-key, with Eastern European characteristics.
Walking into the door, you will see the splendor and splendor.
Magnificent.
The nearly 1,000-meter-long hall has a floor paved with silver bricks and inlaid with gold edges.
Extremely luxurious.
The dome is a hundred meters high, and the top is polished with crystal stone.

When you look up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds.
All around, there are stairways leading directly to the upper floors.
From ground floor to dome.
It is separated by two circular corridors and constructed into two circular stands.
There are many tables and chairs arranged.
But, so far, it's empty.
Everyone, or rather all the participating nobles, were gathered in the rotunda, listening to soft music and enjoying the rich and delicious buffet.
As soon as I caught sight, I saw a richly dressed nobleman holding a cocktail, clinking glasses and chatting in small groups.
Among them, most of them are young people.
There are also a few older people.
"Jenner, take House to dinner."
Heavier arrives.
Attracted pairs of eyes.
Many young nobles swarmed over, with flattering smiles and proactive greetings.
The direct heir to the Ross family, she is truly a proud daughter of heaven, and she is still single.
It is conceivable how attractive Heverl is to these young nobles.
Followers can enter the clubhouse.
But he cannot dine with his master.
This is the basic etiquette of nobles.
In the southwest corner of the hall, there are several rows of long tables with a variety of food on them.
This is the entourage's dining area.
When Cruise took Hevel to their aristocratic circle.
Jenna led Li Ba to the entourage dining area.
"House, the game will start after lunch.
Eat less to avoid affecting your performance," Jenner said kindly.
Anyone who fights immediately after eating a full stomach will be affected.
"ok" Li Ba smiled and nodded.
In my heart, I didn't take it seriously.
When walking to the entourage dining area, Li Ba accidentally glanced around and found an acquaintance.
A strong man sat on a chair in the dining area, chewing a whole roasted lamb alone, drinking ale, and feasting as if no one else was around.
Arquette Li Ba felt happy.
This ugly-looking man is his good partner in the arena and fellow prisoner Arquette.
Walking quickly, when Li Ba came behind Arquette.
This strong man still didn't notice and was eating and drinking as he pleased.
"Brother, how about a bowl of ale for me?"
Li Ba said with a smile.
"It's you who can do it yourself" Arquette was originally very disgusted with people who disturbed her meal.
The moment he looked up and saw Li Ba, he couldn't help but be filled with surprise.
"Nice to see you again" Arquette stood up and gave Li Ba a bear hug.
Li Ba patted him on the shoulder, feeling warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I'm very happy too."
Pulling up a chair, Li Ba sat down.
At the same time, he introduced Arquette to Jenner.
Apart from being a little bored, Jenner was a nice person and nodded politely to Arquette.
The three of them sat together, and then started talking while eating.
"Brother, are you living a good life these days?"

Li Ba teased with a smile.
At the same time, he looked toward the aristocratic circle.
Among the crowd, he found Arquette's owner, the fat woman who wanted to buy him for a big price that day.
Aguire knew what Li Ba wanted to say.
He pursed his lips towards the fat woman and whispered: "A widowed old woman inherited the title of a dead man.
She has some money on hand.
She needs my help to break into the upper class nobility, and she is not willing to do this to me."
I learned from Arquette that the fat woman’s husband was a baron during his lifetime, and his family owned several mines, making him a nouveau riche.
After her husband died, the fat woman had no children.
It was natural to inherit the man's title.
After that, she didn't know what luck she had.
The mines he owns have been explored to contain magic crystals.
A rare ore similar to the crystal core of mutant beasts.
The fat woman made a fortune from this.
Have money on hand.
Want to squeeze into the upper class nobility.
After learning about the profound background of the Tulip Club, and with the planning of the advisers around him, he decided to use Arquette to open a shortcut to the upper class nobility.
Therefore, Arquette escaped from the old woman's clutches, and with the help of the other party, she obtained a magic potion that had miraculous effects on enhancing the physical strength of the barbarian.
His own combat power has been greatly improved.
Li Ba understood after hearing this.
He didn't ask much about Arquette's current strength.
Anyway, not as good as myself.
Briefly, he talked about his experience in the Ross family.
It was learned that Li Ba was accepted as a follower by Haiwei Er and was given a surname.
Arquette was very moved, or rather envious, "Li, you're lucky, you followed the right master."
Li Ba smiled.
I guessed in my heart that if he hadn't existed that day.
It is very likely that Arquette will be taken into custody by Havel.
The reason is very simple.
Arquette's physical combat power is also very strong.
He is definitely a gifted person among barbarians and has great potential for cultivation.
While chatting.
Watson, Julia's retainer.
Came with a group of companions.
He saw Li Ba chatting enthusiastically with Arquette.
When he passed by, he snorted: "Being brothers with a yellow-skinned pig.
It really embarrasses us barbarians."
Arquette glanced at Watson, his face slightly moved.
Then he retorted unceremoniously: "A bastard who betrayed his ancestors dares to call himself a barbarian."
Watson has already walked over.
He suddenly turned around, with a fierce look on his face, as if he was biting someone, staring at Arquette, and said slowly: "You will pay the price for your words."
Then, he left directly and walked to a dining table not far away.
"Brother, do you know him?"
Li Ba asked curiously.
He could hear some clues from Arquette's tone.

"a traitor" When Arquette said this, he looked a little lonely.
Li Ba saw it in his eyes and didn't ask any further questions.
Because he knew that if Arquette wanted to say something, he had already said it.
Lunch was just a sideshow.
The entertainment program at the end is the highlight.
Therefore, the meal was very short and ended in about forty minutes.
Dang Dang Dang With the crisp bell ringing.
The nobles gathered around the hall walked towards the staircase one after another.
Everyone in the dining area stood up and went to join their master.
"Let's go" Li Ba and Jenna walked towards Heiweier.
Of course, Arquette went to join his master, the fat woman.
When he stood up, Li Ba noticed a fierce look staring at him.
He knew who the owner of this look was without having to guess.
Not only for him, but also for Arquette.
Li Ba opened his mouth, wanting to remind Arquette to pay attention to the guy named Watson.
After thinking about it for a while, the words came to my lips but didn't come out.
The subordinates can't help themselves and obey the master's instructions completely.
That being the case, why say more.
At the entrance of the southern stairway, Li Ba and Haiweier met.
He adhered to his duties as a retinue, half-bowed, and raised his right arm.
Helwell smiled back, put her hand on his arm, raised her white neck, and slowly climbed onto the stand like a proud swan princess.
The hall has two circular stands.
The second floor is where ordinary nobles gather.
There are only five long tables in the stands on the third floor.
Except for the children of the five major families, no one is qualified to sit here.
Havel took Li Ba and Jenna to a long table in the southwest corner.
This should be her old seat.
Not far away is the host, Cruise.
Helwell's arch-enemy sat directly opposite her, looking at each other from a distance of 100 meters across the hall.
Brother Crotch sits in the southeast corner.
As for the table in the northwest corner, there was a handsome young man in his thirties sitting there.
He is Calvin, the direct heir of the Sickles family, a well-known romantic son.
Wearing a white dress, with a mustache, and a charming smile at the corner of his mouth, he is quite charming.
His two entourages, all hot beauties, were by his side.
The children of the five major families have arrived.
After-dinner entertainment begins immediately.
"Dear guests, welcome to the Tulip Club"
Cruise's words sounded.
Above the hall, the crystal-polished dome shone with light, and a face soon appeared, it was Cruise.
Li Ba could see clearly that the Cruz man was not far away, with his right hand resting on the crystal ball on the table.
Afterwards, his image appeared on the dome.
Obviously, the crystal ball, and the entire dome.
They are all alchemical items created by magic.
"We are all acquaintances, so I won't talk nonsense.
It's the same old routine, the first show.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Warrior's Heart."
On the dome, Cruise smiled and said slowly: "Everyone must be aware of the competition system.
Interested friends can send out followers to compete in pairs to compete in physical strength and fighting skills.
As for the lottery, it is up to both parties to discuss it themselves.
Which side does not win?
If you dare to accept the move, there is no need to compete and you will automatically admit defeat.”
After briefly explaining the rules, Cruise's right hand slowly left the crystal ball on the table, and his image faded away on the dome.
"start" Drink it in one fell swoop.
Cruise's image completely disappeared from the dome.
Afterwards, the light shone and faces began to flash across the dome.
There was no movement on the third floor.
But there were dozens of nobles on the second floor.
Almost at the same time, he put his hand on the crystal ball on the table.
Just a few seconds.
The dome image freezes, and a fat pig face appears.
"I got it, I'm the first" The owner of the fat pig face is Li Ba's old acquaintance, the fat lady.
She is also Arquette's mistress.
Her first tulip party.
I was lucky, I got the first prize, and I yelled with joy.
The entire dome.
They were all occupied by this old woman's fat pig face, which made people speechless.
"Madame Curie.
You can send out your retinue now."
Watching the fat woman continue to enjoy herself.
Cruise couldn't help but put his hand on the crystal ball and urged.
He is the master.
It has the right to host and can also easily control all alchemical items.
"Aquette, fight for me" The fat woman came to her senses and immediately became aggressive and sent out her capable followers.
A figure jumped down from the second floor and came directly to the center of the hall.
It was Arquette.
At the end of the meal, all the furnishings in the hall were cleared.
At the same time, there is an additional weapons rack in the southeast corner.
Various types of cold weapons are placed above.
Arquette goes first Li Ba was a little surprised.
He looked at the children of the five major families, including his mistress Haiweier, who were calm and motionless.
Obviously, they wanted the ordinary nobles on the second floor to play first, and of course the finale would come later.
"Madame Curie, let me play the first game with you" The face of a middle-aged nobleman was displayed on the dome's crystal screen.
This man is thin, and when placed side by side with the fat woman's big face, he looks quite funny.
Whoosh A warrior jumped down.
He looked tall and strong.
Although he was not as strong as Arquette, he was not much different.
"Old Paulian, you place your bet, I will take whatever amount you want."
The samurai who appeared later was confronting Arquette.
The fat woman's arrogant words sounded again.
"The first game, just to have a good time, just 10,000 gold coins."

The nobleman named Borian made the winning bid.
After hearing this, the fat woman shook her head, turned her nostrils to the sky, and hummed: "Ten thousand gold coins is too little, I will invest 100,000 gold coins."
According to the rules of the competition system, the two sides are divided into defenders and challengers.
Arquette was the first to end, and naturally became the defender.
The opponent is the challenger and must be placed first.
The defender has three options: accept, not accept, or increase the bet.
The fat woman now chooses the last option and increases her bet.
If the challenging party does not follow, it will be lost.
The 10,000 gold coins bet in advance need to be used as a lottery.
To put it simply, this betting system is somewhat similar to Stud.
It not only compares strength, but also courage and financial resources.
One hundred thousand gold coins is not a small amount.
The challenging noble looked hesitant.
Seeing his opponent's smug face and his unwillingness to throw away 10,000 gold coins in vain, he thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take it." clang The two masters are here to negotiate.
On the other side, the bell rings and the game begins immediately.
Arquette's opponent dodged towards the weapons rack and took a hammer gun.
This hammer is similar to a spear, except that the head of the spear is in the shape of a round hammer and is heavy.
Arquette was also armed.
A steel shield specially designed for heavy armored cavalry. boom With weapons in hand, the two men immediately launched a fierce attack.
The sound of the hammer gun and steel shield clashing head-on, immediately resounded throughout the hall.
"This guy is no match for Arquette."
Li Baren was on the third floor, looking around, and he had already made a judgment after less than two or three rounds of fighting between the two sides.
After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Arquette's strength has improved a lot, and his physical strength is probably close to level eight.
As for his opponent, the samurai should be a power evolver, with strength around level seven.
According to the rules of the competition, the use of magic fighting spirit and various attribute abilities is not allowed.
However, there are no restrictions on the two types of evolvers, the strength type and the agility type.
Therefore, most of the followers participating in the competition are dominated by these two types of evolvers.
There are also barbarians who are famous for their strength, and some high-level warriors who are proficient in fighting skills.
It is very difficult for ordinary evolvers to reach high levels.
Li Ba knows this best.
Arquette's opponent was a seventh-level power evolver.
If the resources used on him were given to others, he could probably cultivate a ninth-level warrior.
This shows how difficult it is.
At the same time, it can also be seen that his owner deliberately trained him to participate in the Warrior's Heart competition.
However, this warrior was unlucky when he encountered Arquette.
His master was even more unlucky and destined to lose everything.
Hoo In a head-to-head encounter.
Arquette roared, and slammed into him with a steel shield in his hand.
The brute force exploded and directly knocked away the opponent's hammer gun.
He stepped closer and the steel shield hit him again.
The opponent's warrior had no way to avoid it and could only resist with his body.
As a result, the man was knocked back more than ten meters and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Arquette won the first game His master, the fat woman, won one hundred thousand gold coins, and was able to show off her face in front of many nobles, grinning excitedly.
An event ends.
The winner, the fat lady, can choose to quit or continue to let her followers defend the ring.

The old woman didn't even think about it and chose to continue defending.
Arquette has no say and has no choice but to obey his master's will.
When the five major families did not send anyone to fight, Arquette showed strong physical combat power and superb fighting skills.
Without any rest, they actually won ten games in a row with a sweep.
The fat woman won nearly two million gold coins.
At the same time, he was very proud and happy from ear to ear.
"Damn fat pig, it's time to stop" The third floor grandstand.
Li Ba looked at the fat woman's pig face and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He knew best.
With Arquette's current state, if he continued to fight, there would still be no opponent for the ordinary nobles' retinue.
Since the end of the tenth game, no one has challenged again, which can be proved.
However, in the stands on the third floor, the children of the five major families began to show signs of taking action.
Especially on the opposite side, the guy named Watson was staring at Arquette with an unfriendly expression and whispering in the ear of his master Julia, which already had a bad momentum.
“Miss, let me come” Li Ba took the initiative to ask for a fight.
Judging from the current situation, letting him defeat Arquette is the best way to protect the opponent.
Havel is not a fool, on the contrary, Bingxue is smart.
Of course she knew the relationship between Li Ba and Arquette, and also knew the reason why Li Ba took the initiative to ask for a fight.
"good" Without hesitation, Heverl raised her hand to slap the crystal ball in front of her.
However, almost at the same time, Julia, who was sitting opposite, also reached out and patted the crystal ball in front of her.
This woman seemed to have been eyeing Hedwig for a long time, and her shot was half a beat too fast.
As a result, the dome flashed with light, and her charming face was displayed on the water mirror screen.
"I'm sorry, Heverl, I got there first."
Julia's enchanting face was filled with indescribable pride.
At the same time, Watson, who was standing next to her, had a hideous smile on his face and made a throat-squeezing gesture towards Li Ba.
Afterwards, he jumped down
