Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Out of precaution against these temple guards, Attila did not rush to find Milin immediately even if the ban was lifted.

But the suppressed longing gradually took over Attila's mind because of that piece of mille-feuille.

After several consecutive meditations, I was interrupted by the figure of Milin who appeared in my mind.

Attila, who had received the power of the light side of the system, understood that he was falling into some kind of anxiety.

Especially because of missing Milin, the Nord werewolf that flashed from time to time made Attila even more anxious.

"Is it jealousy?" Attila said to himself in the meditation room:

"But why am I jealous?"

You can't be jealous that the werewolf can make snacks for Master.

If this was the reason, then Attila should have been jealous of Ella and gone crazy with jealousy.

Unable to understand the source of this anxiety from the knowledge learned in the temple, or not wanting to face the most likely cause, Attila felt that he should meet Milin quietly.

Otherwise, this anxiety will one day affect Attila in a dark way.

In fact, when Attila was anxious because of the thought of the Nord werewolf, he could already feel the dark side growing in his heart.

Although Attila knew that if he really fell into darkness, Milin wouldn't care much.

But this path that was obviously chosen by myself changed due to the influence of other people.

Attila was still unhappy, and she was even more worried that if she really fell into darkness, Milin would no longer trust her because of this incident.

Knowing that she would really fall into the dark side if she continued to think like this, Attila shook her head and temporarily put these anxious thoughts behind her.

She began to think seriously about how she could meet Milin without attracting the attention of the temple guards.

"Have you encountered any difficulties in practicing?" Seeing Attila looking at an untouched dinner plate with a look of no thought, Erland asked, sitting opposite Attila as before.

"It has nothing to do with you." Attila's attitude did not change, even though she already knew that the temple guard in front of her no longer had any hostility towards her master, but instead showed respect for Milin from time to time.

Attila discovered that even after such a big incident, not many people in the temple knew that Milin could use the two powers of light and darkness.

It seems that someone is deliberately covering up this matter.

Not sure what these temple guards who still regard Milin as an assassin think, Attila will certainly not feel good about it.

Erland, who didn't mind Attila's attitude, thought for a while and said:

"If you can't calm down, you can adjust your emotions by practicing swordsmanship."

For Force users, swordsmanship is also an extension of personality and emotions.

Using corresponding sword skills in different emotions can exert greater power.

Likewise, these sword skills can also actively adjust the user's emotions.

"I don't want to compete with you guys in swordsmanship." Attila refused directly.

When Attila began to receive light side training in the temple, he naturally also received instruction on swordsmanship.

And compared to when Mirin taught her swordsmanship, he skipped the words and taught directly by example.

The swordsmanship training in the temple is more formal, or more academic.

Either a group of apprentices receive guidance from a master, or two people compete with each other while a bunch of people watch.

But regardless of the training method, Attila felt like a monkey being watched.

"if you need…"

"No need." Attila interrupted directly before Elend could express his suggestion.

Competing with Erland, whose strength is close to that of a master, Attila believes that this behavior will only bring her closer to the dark side.

"Then" Erland, who didn't care much about Attila's rejection, thought for a while and made another suggestion:

"You can try going to the Colosseum"

"Colosseum" Attila was slightly startled, asking the Force user to hold a durable steel sword to compete in a fighting skill? Bullying children?

"Of course you can't use the holy sword, nor can you use the skills of the light side. Your identity as a temple guard must also be kept secret."

Elend said, seemingly knowing what Attila was complaining about in his heart.

"Is this allowed in the temple?" Attila heard from Elander's words that this suggestion was not a whim, but that many temple guards had already done this.

"This can be considered a tradition of the temple guards."

Elland thought about his words and explained:

"In addition to looking for talented apprentices from young children, the temple will also look for suitable apprentices in the Colosseum."

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Attila asked strangely.

Even though he was born as a grassland dweller, Attila knew about the Colosseum in the imperial capital.

You must know that although the cities of the prairie people cannot build a miniature version of the Colosseum, they will still circle fences and hold fighting competitions with the characteristics of the prairie people.

But Attila never knew what this tradition of fighting games had to do with the Temple Guards.

"Because the temple rarely directly selects winners as new apprentices." Erland explained the tradition a little bit.

Directly choosing the winner is what the assassins do. The temple guards value the players in the arena as something other than gladiators.

If Milin was there, he would definitely say that Sis would not only choose the winner.

"I see." Attila nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Elend and asked, "Were you chosen like this?"

"I am a war orphan who was brought to the temple since I was a child." Elend replied not surprised that Attila would ask this question.

"Well, if I go to a fighting competition, do I need to take on the task of finding apprentices?" Attila asked.

"That's not necessary. Although it is tradition to find apprentices through fighting competitions, this is the matter of the temple guards who are qualified to accept apprentices. They do not need permission from the temple."

Erland explained again.

"Well, I understand." Attila, who seemed to immediately lose interest in the matter, ate the cold food.

After finishing eating, Attila simply left the temple without any hesitation.

Remembering that the temple guards had another way to sign up for the fighting competition, Erland, who was about to inform Attila, missed the opportunity.

Attila, who left the Mountain of Light without being stopped by anyone, did not lament how much the free air was nostalgic, but walked towards the Colosseum with an increasingly brisk pace.

Compared to what Erland said, Attila didn't care at all about practicing swordsmanship to mediate emotions during the fighting competition in the Colosseum.

Attila just remembered that Master Milin seemed to like watching various fighting competitions in the arena when he was in Iscalon.

Although there is also the small city of Escalon, except for the Colosseum to improve the livability of residents, there are no other entertainment projects.

Especially after the public bathhouse began to be renovated, Milin often took Attila to spend time in the Colosseum.

Attila felt that if he participated in a fighting competition in the Colosseum, he would definitely meet Milin.

Moreover, meeting in the Colosseum can avoid the surveillance of possible temple guards.

At the same time, you can also show your master the results of your practice in the Guardian Temple during the month.

It can be said to be a win-win!

"Are you going to sign up for a fighting competition?" The staff of the Colosseum looked at Attila, who was only as tall as his chest, with doubtful eyes.

"Isn't it possible?" Attila said with his head held high.

"Well, it's not impossible, it's just...forget it, which kind of fighting competition do you want to participate in? Team battle? Survival battle? Or beast fighting?"

The staff hesitated for a moment and then asked without asking in detail.

"Survival battle" Attila gave a direct answer. There is nothing more suitable to show the results of cultivation than a survival battle.

"A hundred-man survival battle?" The staff's eyes became subtle.

"Well, how much is the registration fee?" Attila said and was about to pay.

"No, no, you don't need to pay the registration fee." The staff said quickly.

"?" Attila was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that he had arrived in a hurry and was still wearing the warrior uniform of the temple guard.

Compared with the hooded robes that the temple guards usually wear when outside, the shape of this samurai uniform is more special. At least the residents living in the imperial capital can recognize this as the symbol of the temple guards.

It was obvious that the staff member recognized Attila's identity from his attire.

"..."

Attila discovered that his plan to conceal his identity and sign up for the beast-fighting competition had an accident before it even started.

At this time, should we reuse the "assassin" training we received from Milin?

Seemingly sensing that Attila was looking at him with an increasingly dangerous look, the Colosseum staff quickly said:

"Don't worry, we will help you hide your identity."

Seeing the reaction of the staff, Attila suddenly had an idea and asked:

"Then can I choose my own game?"

"Of course, it's in compliance with the regulations." The staff member said quickly, while complaining in his mind that this kind of thing should be handed over by others, so why was it his turn.

"Okay, thank you." After saying that, Attila turned and left the registration office of the Colosseum, intending to find a suitable place to stay during this period.

The temple guards were all ascetics, and the money in Attila's pocket was still the pocket money he had saved before, so he had to use it sparingly.

Seeing Attila leaving extremely neatly, the staff thought for a while but did not tell them that the Colosseum would provide a special residence for the temple guards.

Who knows what the character of this seemingly young guardian of the empire is, and what if he is tasked with some special mission? It's better not to disturb.
