"It's finally time for things to come to an end. ”

Luo Jia barely noticed who was saying this. At this point, a group of people sat in a circle, seemingly thinking about the same problem. But Luo Jia was just savoring the last trace of stimulant in his veins. The scorching and sweet honey-like liquid of molten magma still flowed through his veins. He could hear the comfortable screams of muscles, nerves, and skin, and he could even feel his bones trembling and colliding rhythmically with each other.

"After winning in the morning, he will most likely have twelve rings in his hand," another man's voice rang in Luo Jia's absent-minded ears. "Maybe more. Because it was certain that when he killed Gru, he had at least one ring in his hand, and another one from Gru's corpse...... In addition to this, he has also taken out at least one Ranger of the Moon, and the Mana Ring is standard equipment for the Rangers...... Considering other channels or something, it will only be more, not less. The voice continued. "Really lucky people. Rangers. He seemed to sigh as he said that. "It's a pity that Lu Wu is only a member of the local army, otherwise, this credit is enough to raise him to one level. ”

"However, didn't Luo Jia say that Lu Wu should use the price of three rings to charge his other ring. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a few rings, as long as the cost is big enough. ”

Yes, two days have passed, all conditions have been met, the prey has fallen into the net, and the hunters should have to tighten the ropes. From the standpoint of a third party, everyone has to admit that this is a simple, but ingenious trap.

In fact, this matter is also very simple, that is, the fighters in the arena can raise. Just like Lu Wu once encountered. When a player feels that raising is profitable, he raises in order to win more.

If you evaluate it from a completely objective point of view, you will feel that this is a very normal system design. The two fighters came to the stage to compete in the final analysis to win each other's magic rings. Everyone wants to win the ring and not be won away. With this utilitarian mentality, it is natural for a person to look for the weak to be an opponent and avoid the strong at the same time.

If the strength of a newcomer can be counted as a random value that cannot be estimated in advance, then those strong people who have a record of many victories have become the object of avoidance by others. The more often you win the championship, the more so. Because an easy defeat of the weak wins a ring, and a difficult defeat of the strong wins a ring.

And this kind of competition is not about honor and exercise, but about victory. Victory is everything, and the means can be chosen at will. Even with a dishonorable cold fist raid, a win is a win, and an inglorious victory is a victory.

Obviously, if you're facing an opponent in your next fight that will be difficult for you to overcome, a rational choice is to stop there and find a reason to decline. After all, there is no personal attachment between the fighter and the arena, and refusing to participate is only being blacklisted and not allowed to participate from the competition. And, as the famous saying goes, the hardest thing in the world is money, and the best thing to find is reason. It's too easy to find a good reason not to participate. This does not incur a real reputational loss. A magic ring is obviously worth a lot more than being blacklisted from the arena and never being allowed to compete, isn't it? Another rational choice is to find a ring that is no longer worthless, and lose the battle cleanly.

Obviously, these risk-averse practices are very detrimental to the fight itself.

On the other hand, the reality is that the audience doesn't like battles with a huge disparity between strength and weakness. Surrendering in battle will be exchanged for applause from the audience. Further, compared to those newcomers, the wins and losses between those strong ones are more attractive to the audience. When a fighter with a nine-game winning streak meets a strong player with an eight-game winning streak, this kind of game is full of anticipation and makes people willing to bet big, which is the best way to increase the gambling bet.

Therefore, if you want to attract the strong to compete with each other, this system will naturally come out. You can only win one ring against the weak, and you can win even more against the strong who has already won multiple times and has a bunch of magic rings in their pockets.

A system that makes sense.

However, there is one thing that few people care about here - that is, the master of the arena, the high-ranking warlock that everyone knows, is actually very powerful.

Of course, this is normal, and many people may know about it, but everyone doesn't care about it, and almost no one cares. Anyway, he won't fight (in this kind of place, who would fight a high-level warlock?), his normal duty is only to protect the safety of the contestants, what does it matter if the strength is weak? It can even be said that the stronger he is, the better, because the stronger he is, the better it can protect the fighters inside.

Although it is a bit strange that a powerful high-level warlock would actually preside over an arena or something like this in such a place. But what if he has another purpose? No matter what his purpose is, anyway, everyone wants to watch the game, not dig up privacy and insider information. So it's a little thing that no one cares about, and it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it. But there's another little secret to this, which is that when the two fighters raise before the start of the match, the high-level warlock will use magic to confirm the raises.

As mentioned earlier, when one side raises and the other side realizes that he is not betting enough (which is obviously going to happen), he can declare that he is betting his most valuable property, just as someone in the game of stud declares that he is studing.

Obviously, this is a very debatable and manoeuvre operation. Even if the person is an honest gentleman, many people can't tell what a person's most valuable property is, right? So, if this matter is to be decided by a person (if it is really to be done, it is estimated that an evaluation committee will be formed), and in fact it is also true, this matter is entrusted to magic. The owner of the arena uses magic to ensure the execution of this agreement.

That's right, not to use people to supervise the execution, but to use magic to ensure that the matter can have a result. In this respect, magic is much fairer than people.

And Lu Wu's biggest asset is his floating fortress.

That's the crux of this trap. Only in this special environment, the ownerless floating fortress in Lu Wu's hand can meet this requirement. It's impossible to change people. Let's say one against a general who serves as the commander of a floating fortress, this is clearly ineffective. Because the ownership of the floating fortress is not the general's.

The floating fortress in Lu Wu's hand was repaired after it crashed, making it a de facto ownerless. Now it is in whomever hands. This point, maybe Lu Wu himself has not considered it. As soon as it is magically decided, the Floating Fortress immediately goes to the victor.

Of course, if the timing is changed, then Lu Wu is very likely to choose to repay the debt. The Floating Fortress is in his hands, and even a high-level warlock cannot attack a Floating Fortress alone. But now the situation is different.

Because there is an archon who is here in the base camp.

Therefore, during this time period, all legal agreements and contracts must be enforced. There is no remorse, and there is no room for default.

"The first game this afternoon is the game of Lu Wu. Luo Jia heard another person say. "I'm not mistaken, Roga?"

"That's right. Luo Jia replied. In the afternoon, Lu Wu will have two games, the first and the last. Of course, there is a premise for the last game, and the premise is to win the first game. As for whether he will win......

When thinking about this problem, Luo Jia even forgot about the kind of energy that was still surging in him. This is a very debatable question. He looked up with interest. Thankfully, he's just a hired helper.

"Now we're going to have the final step, we have to get enough rings out. I've got two here. ”

"I have four rings, which I just bought from the sorceress. ”

"I have ...... too"

"Don't hesitate any longer, our plan is complete, and there will be no problem with the last step. ”

"Are you sure of our ...... Champion...... Is that okay?"

"Of course no problem, his brother is now in our hands, how can he refuse. And he's not a champion anymore, he's already lost three games in a row under my arrangement, so he's not very popular. ”

"What did his brother do?" asked Luo Jia with a little curiosity.

"It's nothing, just secretly selling high-authority things to businessmen from outside. But this time he really went too far, and a large part of the equipment couldn't be recovered. ”

"Ha, how is it possible? Where did the merchants come from, and where did the shipments go?"

"That's the way it is, and it's said that a lot of it is high-tech equipment that is strictly forbidden to go out...... The merchant disappeared all at once, and he couldn't find it. I guess I sold it to the Stygian Moon through the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance. Speaking of which, the Stygian Moon is really ...... They were all beaten all over the ground by Kecha Goat, and they were still trying to find a bargain from us. Among other things, I doubt that these devices will be able to pass through the area of control of Kecha Goat. Aren't they afraid of getting nothing and angering the Huiyue camp at the same time?"

"And what is his current crime?"

"Oh, the death penalty. ”

"Can you save him?" this time, Luo Jia became curious.

"No, but I can convince the champion that I can save him. Maybe he'll want revenge afterwards...... But by that time, the Floating Fortress was already in his hands, how could he get revenge on me?"

The topic was quickly over, as the crowd had already put together more than twenty magic rings.

It's a lot of money, but if it's compared to a floating fortress, it's a typical half-in-the-sky, and it's not worth mentioning.

"Anyway, the first game in the afternoon...... Success and failure are in this moment. Luo Jia, you have to follow Lu Wu's side well......"

"I know that I will try to encourage him to avoid abstaining from the battle. Luo Jia said lazily.

He walked out of the assembly hall and walked alone down the street. Although he was deeply involved in this matter, even including the damage to the airship with anti-aircraft artillery fire, he single-handedly planned it (to be honest, he felt that he had done so much and was completely worthy of those high commissions), but he was not the subject after all. Maybe he should think more about how to get rid of the anger of others after failure.

"You're Roga?" a voice suddenly rang out as he walked through an uninhabited alley.

Luo Jia turned his head. Then he saw a woman standing in front of him, a woman of peerless elegance and flamboyance. It is a supreme posture that will never appear on a mortal.
