Chapter Twenty-Six: Falling Star City
The next day, Regner was at ease, and since he was bored left and right, he had to buy tickets at Inriris's insistence and take her and Irene to watch the battle of Kordak. Spectators didn't have to prepare for any other formalities to participate in the game, so they went directly to the Colosseum through the guest portal and waited patiently for the game to begin. Fortunately, the autumn afternoon sun is mild and the autumn breeze is cool, and if it is summer, I am afraid that few spectators will have the patience to wait here to watch what game.
"Brother, your performance yesterday was really inferior!" Iniris yelled.
"Well, weren't you in the hotel yesterday?" Regner was stunned.
"No, Uncle Kordak and Sister Vera brought us over to watch you play. Innellis shook her head.
"After all, there is still a certain danger in this kind of competition, although Brother Cordak and Sister Vera said that they were relieved, but in the end they couldn't help but run over. I just didn't tell you. Erin whispered softly, her long silver hair cascading down like a silver waterfall in the moonlight, attracting the attention of many people.
However, she deliberately left her long hair in front of her face to cover her severely burned face. Erin is a girl after all, even if her personality is optimistic and open-minded, she will inevitably feel a little inferior because of her own flaw. And since seeing the innocent and lovely Inilis, her inferiority complex has become even more obvious. If it weren't for Regner's strong invitation, she wouldn't even be coming out today.
"Brother, you said that they will be okay today, uncle, right?" asked Iniris with some apprehension.
"Don't worry!" Regner was full of confidence: "Boss, although you are only level thirteen, he is a man who has been a mercenary for nearly ten years. You know, that's a mercenary, and most of the enemies are humans or orcs with fighting spirit, how can hunters who can only hunt and kill demonic beasts without brains compare with him? If you talk about the richness of combat experience, I don't think those old hunters in their forties or fifties are necessarily comparable to him. And Sister Vera has been a mercenary for some years, and she just broke through two days ago, reaching level twelve, completely reaching the average level of the competition. What's more......"
"Hmm, what's more important?" asked Inilis, staring wide-eyed with curiosity.
Regner touched the little girl's head, and he paused to see Innerys' expression. The little girl's delicate and cute face and such an innocent and curious expression are a perfect match!
Innellis slapped Regner's wolf claw off with her small hand in protest. Regner smiled, then said with a fluttering eyebrow, "What's more...... Hey, hey, hey...... The boss and Sister Vera have been together for almost ten years, what is the saying? hehehehe...... Men and women work together without getting tired. With the tacit understanding of the two of them, there is no big problem in passing this game. ”
"Oh~~~" Iniris stretched out her voice, with a bit of "I know" expression on her face.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's up to them to make a big fuss about this arena in the mercenary world of Falling Star City. Regner said with a smile, and Erin on the side was obviously unhappy with Regner's call of her big brother and sister, and she hammered Regner in anger.
The three of them talked and made trouble, and Innellis and Erin's long hair and wind chime-like voices attracted the attention of many people. But Regner didn't really care, anyway, he had been showing other faces for the past two days, so he wasn't afraid that others would recognize him.
About half an hour later, the contestants also appeared on the competition venue one after another through the portal. The arena was originally nearly a thousand meters in diameter, and the Regna people sat relatively far back. The three of them watched the game very vaguely. But fortunately, Regner's eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people, so Kordak and others were also discovered.
"There, Boss!" Regner pointed.
Innellis and Erin barely made out Kordak in the direction Regna was pointing. Then the blonde little Nizi began to shout loudly with an excited face.
"Alright, well, they can't hear ......," Regner quickly pressed the agitated Inniris.
"Hmph, you didn't perform well yesterday, and today I want to see how well my uncle and sister behave. Innellis wriggled her petite body in protest, but the disparity in strength doomed her to useless work.
"Sit here quietly and watch, how can you little girl be a crazy person?" said Regner helplessly.
"Alright, Ini, don't disturb the others, it's not good. Erin patted Innellis as well.
Under the persuasion of the two partners, Iniris finally quieted down. At this time, yesterday's host finally finished the rules of the game.
It is worth mentioning that since the fourth group is less than a hundred people, the host announced that for the sake of fairness, each contestant who makes it to the end of the competition will automatically receive an extra badge as compensation at the end of the competition.
After the host announced the start of the game, the entire arena began to boil.
Kordaq pulled out his two-handed greatsword from his back, then nodded at Vera without saying a word and rushed forward.
Regner is right, Vera and Cordak are companions who have been together for nearly a decade, and they are also lovers who can give their lives for each other. The two of them had a tacit understanding that was even better than Regner had imagined.
Communication between Kordak and Vera can even be done without words. With just one look and one movement, Vera could easily read what he meant, and then support her arrow to the position that Kordak had in mind. In the same way, Vera doesn't need words, as long as she is in danger, Kordaq can always appear by her side in time.
Although Vera's personal ability is not the top, as long as she is given a certain distance, the single lethality of her archery skills can even be comparable to that of a mid-level mage of the same level. Not to mention Kordak, although his rank is not the pinnacle among the contestants, his rich combat experience and fierce momentum make his combat power comparable to the top of the contestants.
And the tacit cooperation between these two people allows each of them to exert 150% of their strength. Therefore, although it was only a two-person team, the small group of Kordak and Vera became one of the strongest groups among the contestants.
In just half an hour, Kordaq and Vera had taken down six or seven of their enemies. If it weren't for the fact that no dead hands were allowed in this tournament, their record might have been even more terrifying. But even so, Regner knows that Cordak and Vera will undoubtedly qualify.
"How's that? Regner said triumphantly.
"Hmph, I'm embarrassed to say, look at the uncle and the eldest sister, and then look at yourself!" Iniris's little face was full of hatred.
"Ini, Regner, he must have a reason for doing this. Erin persuaded.
"That's it, Irene, I still know me. Regner said.
The three of them watched the game while bickering, and before they knew it, the game had come to an end. There were less than fifteen people standing in the entire arena, and Kordak and Vera were included. The two of them didn't have much pressure during the whole battle, although they suffered some minor injuries, but for the mercenaries who licked the blood with their knives, they obviously wouldn't take these small injuries seriously.
"It seems that the preliminaries are still very easy. Kordak gasped and said to Vera, although the two were not injured, an hour of fighting was still very exhausting.
"The group was staring at us, and it looked like we were going to have another fight. Vera pouted at Kordaknunu.
Kordak turned his head to look, it was a group of three, two warriors and a ranger, and it seemed that they had found Kordak and the two.
"Do you want to fight again, man?" called Kordak to the three men not far away.
"I'm sorry, but my companion is missing a badge. One of the leading fighters said, his tone polite.
"Nothing. Kordaq waved the two-handed greatsword in his hand lightly, and grinned, "You also have to have the ability to take it, and there is not much time now." ”
"Thanks for the reminder, but we always have to try. The warrior nodded, then pulled away.
"I'm on. Kordaq said softly, and then brandished his two-handed sword and charged at the two warriors.
The host of the contest used magic amplification to remind him that the game would be over in one minute. Vera moved her shoulders a little boredly, she could see the depth of the three people, although the strength was not bad, but the real fight was not necessarily the opponent of the two of them. Moreover, the game was over with one minute left, and the three of them couldn't defeat Kordak in a minute, even if they took drugs.
So, she just symbolically pulled out the game's special arrows from the quiver and fired a few arrows at random to distract her opponent while waiting for the game to end.
But that's when the mutation happened, just as Vera shot her arrow softly. An inexplicable coldness came from behind her, and Vera was startled, but before she could react, a huge impact came from behind her. Vera staggered forward, ready to distance herself from the sneak attacker behind her.
But the man who shot was obviously a veteran, and although Vera tried her best to dodge, the guy still accurately predicted her actions. With the power of his feet, he jumped in front of Vera with precision, and a delicate dagger in his hand was shining coldly in the afternoon sun.
