Chapter 473: Furnace Arena
Qin Wei waved his hand, "It's late~I'm full~" He could only feel the metallic taste in his throat.
After the Gray Girl finished enjoying her share, Qin Wei planned to go to the rumored Furnace Arena to step on the point, he was already at a disadvantage in the away game, and he felt the need to give himself experience in advance.
And as he went out of his dwelling, he noticed that countless pairs of dwarven eyes were looking at him, not at the wonderful female elf of Greygirl, but at his own.
This is the opposite of what happened to them when they first entered the copper mountain yesterday, and even the gray girl noticed it.
"Qin, why are they looking at you all the time?" said the female elf worriedly.
"I think it might have something to do with the midday competition..."
Before Qin Lao's words fell, a slap with a lot of strength slapped him on the back of the waist, making him subconsciously jump forward a small step.
"Rub it!? Who!"
Qin Wei looked back and didn't see anyone, but then he remembered that the people here were half a meter shorter than him, so he immediately saw a face as soon as he lowered his head.
"Yo-hee, you kid forgot about me so quickly!?" said Manna with a shaky beard, but he said with a smile, not really angry.
"But why did you come here? You didn't come to us specifically!?"
"Of course I'm looking for you kid! You kid actually lied to me!"
"What do you mean?"
"King Magman's announcement says that you kid is not an elven follower, you are a friend of the forest!
"Why didn't you say it earlier? I was reprimanded by the one above me because of this!"
Alas, why does this tone sound so familiar? It seems that I just said it~
Qin Wei could only say embarrassedly, "Hehe~ Isn't this here to enter the Copper Mountain? Do you think you believe it if I tell you this directly? Will the guards believe it?"
Maina shook her head cooperatively, "I won't believe it! I'll arrest you!"
"Look, isn't it..."
"What is!? Even if it is!, it won't work!" said McNah huffing, "You've deceived me, you've deceived King Magman, so it's cheap enough to punish you!"
"Alas~Even you say that~" The corners of Qin Lao's mouth twitched twice.
"Of course, but this is the punishment given to you by King Magman, and my compensation will be calculated separately!"
"What's the matter!?" Qin Wei was taken aback, "You still have to compensate!?" What compensation do you want!?"
It was indeed the liveliest place, and it was still three hours before noon, and there were hordes of dwarves heading to the arena to take their places!
It has to be said that it was entirely the effect of the announcement issued by Magman, who spread the news that he was going to compete with the visitors of the Mist Forest throughout the hematite pit and even the entire copper mountain.
This attracted countless dwarves to come and watch.
Of course, the object of their attention must be Magman herself, and the mere fact that the Dwarven King himself is in battle is enough to attract attention.
As for Qin Wei, he is just a nobody, no one cares who he is, as long as King Magman has an opponent to fight.
According to Maina, the Furnace Arena has a long history, it used to be the place where the entire Copper Mountain excavation site concentrated iron-making tools, and the entire pit was melted by the scorching molten iron over and over again, turning it into a swarthy patch, but there is no doubt that the rock here is the strongest and cannot be easily shaken by magic.
As the ironmaking was gradually replaced by other mines, the pit became a great arena where dwarves could wield their weapons without worrying about damaging the pits.
And the sound of striking iron and sparks everywhere also gave this place the name of the furnace.
In this way, because of its sturdiness, because it is closest to the Jinshi Palace, it has become the most professional and largest arena in the Copper Mountain, and a group of great warriors familiar to the dwarves will emerge here from time to time, and this group of great warriors has also achieved the current Copper Mountain Kingdom.
And now, the Furnace Arena has rarely welcomed two special participants, one is the irreplaceable king of the Copper Mountain Kingdom, and the other is a human with a special identity.
This contest is destined to attract a crowd of dwarves who are already fond of joining in the fun, and the entire Fireplace Arena will be filled.
And such a grand occasion also caused some trouble for Qin Wei, he originally wanted to step on the point in advance, but was slowed down by a large number of dwarves who came to watch the play.
In the face of the temptation of such a competitive competition, the dwarves did not care about respecting the foreign guests, whether they were elves or humans, or simply the contestants themselves, they all had to squeeze around with them.
This reminded Qin Rank of the bad thing when he first entered the Holy City for a long time, but most of the good things that time were pushed and shoved by the old, weak, sick and disabled, and when it was the turn of the dwarves, these races with strong attributes competed more fiercely.
But in the end, they still have to go in, and in the words of Maina, "if the contestants can't even get in by themselves, what is the comparison?"
Qin Wei was deeply ashamed of this, he felt that if he relied on himself and didn't rely on any external help, then he really couldn't get in this time.
This professional miner's physique is stronger than that of ordinary dwarves, and in order to prevent his bets from being wasted in advance, Mini has tried his best to protect Qin Lao and the Gray Girl all the way.
But Rao was he, after such a heroic opening, he was also out of breath and collapsed to the ground as if he had lost half his life.
He said in a hoarse voice, "You guys go around by yourself first! I'm here to catch my breath~ I'll go out to pick up my brother later!"
The Gray Girl and Qin Wei were not polite to Mai Na, since the other party was sure that they would kill back and forth in the dwarf crowd again, then even if they went to see the arena, the two of them couldn't help much anyway.
The two of them got as close to the venue as possible to observe.
The entire arena is made of dark rock, and it looks like it has a solemn atmosphere.
And from the top down, the first is the staircase that is used as an auditorium, they are smooth and reflective, and they must have been worn by the dwarves' butts for thousands of years.
Then there was a large open space in the middle of the auditorium, and there were only a few stone chairs in the open space, and the one of them was even higher and wider, as if it were the exclusive seat of the dwarven king, but now that the king had not yet arrived, it was so empty that there was not even a shadow of a guard.
