More than a thousand meters northwest of the Alchemy Guild's alchemy tower, there is a huge circular Colosseum. At this time, the Colosseum was crowded with people both inside and outside the stadium, because today was the day of the opening of the Alchemy Grand Prix.

The Colosseum in St. Yale's is also a very famous landmark, and its usual role is not to hold competitions such as the Alchemy Grand Prix, but to show battles. Its name is the Colosseum, but the fights in it are not only Warcraft, slaves of various races will be brought to the ring to fight, and the slave trade of the Stuart family in St. Yale is also very prosperous because of the Colosseum.

The Colosseum itself is a huge gold cave, and every gladiatorial fight here sells a large number of tickets and is priced according to its popularity. Because of this, as long as you let your slaves fight in the gladiatorial battle, the master can get the money regardless of whether he wins or loses. However, the loser gets less, the winner gets more, and the loser also has to bear the risk of slave death. And many people who have money and have nowhere to spend it often come here to watch gladiatorial fights.

In contrast, the Alchemy Grand Prix is much more harmonious, at least in the early stages without fighting and bloodshed. But for those who watch gladiatorial fights all day, it's not bad to have an occasional change of taste. According to the process, the first is the opening ceremony, followed by the qualifying round. The qualifying round is very tight, and all the participating teams will be ranked in one day, and the top 16 will advance. There are more than 70 teams participating in the competition, and it is also a very tedious task to complete the ranking in one day, which fully tests the organizer's organizational ability. But this Alchemy Grand Prix has been held for more than 250 years, and the Alchemy Guild is familiar with it.

Each orc's attack power will be tested in the match to be ranked, which also makes the match very fast. Such a game is naturally far less exciting than the orc ring duel, but it still attracts many people to visit. After all, no matter how boring this competition is, it is also part of the Alchemy Grand Prix, and the advantage is that the ticket price is cheap, and some ordinary people who want to be vassal and elegant like to get a ticket to the opening ceremony to join in the fun.

The south gate of the Colosseum is a gate for contestants to enter, and a row of Alchemy Guild guards guard the door, and ordinary spectators are not allowed to enter from there. But there was still a large crowd of onlookers, craned their necks outside the cordon formed by the guards, most of them were people who had not even bought tickets for the opening ceremony, and could only watch here, and maybe they could see the appearance of the contestants.

There are many celebrities among the contestants, and if you are lucky enough to get an autograph, you can sell it for a lot of money if you become an alchemy master in the future. These onlookers did not wait in vain, they had already seen multiple teams of players walking into the Colosseum, and there were three players who had been staying at the door, neither entering nor leaving.

"Look at those three people, they look like they're contestants, and there's a beautiful female elf. If I could buy such a slave, I would surely lie in bed with her every day. ”

"Hey, keep your voice quiet! Don't you see that her two companions are burly and strong men, and they don't know how you died when they hear you!"

"It's weird, which team is this? It seems that the elf is probably from the Lopez family, but there is no Lopez team name among the participating teams. ”

"You're all alone! I know this team. Yesterday I saw on the casino's entry list that there was a team that included members of the Lopec family, and not only that, but it also included the name of the Nike Rimmons family, but strangely enough, the name of the team was Dako. ”

"It's weird, you see the other teams, most of them are named after families, churches, and magic academies, why are they so special, like a joke?"

"Maybe it's a few friends who organized it spontaneously, and it doesn't represent any faction. Whatever, they're all celebrities anyway, and they're definitely waiting for the other three teammates if they don't enter now, so I'm going to have to hurry up and get an autograph!"

The three people standing in the doorway were none other than Leah, Otto, and Wendy. Wendy was still wearing the enchanted cloak, completely covering her body and face in the dark, the inside of the cloak was swollen by the air currents, and she was floating in the air, and she looked like a strong man of Otto's size on the outside. Otto, on the other hand, had replaced his armor with a normal robe, his brown hair neatly tied up, and he did not look at all the downbeat of his time in the slave market, but looked like a noble child, busy signing autographs for the onlookers on the periphery. Leah was holding a crystal ball in her hand, pacing back and forth, with an anxious look on her face, and the crystal ball had been chaotic magic fluctuations, and the picture never appeared.

The crowd on the periphery was suddenly separated, and Kevin squeezed into the runner's tunnel, and after conducting identity verification, he ran over in two steps. Leah hurried up to meet her, "Costner, you're finally back, where are Darko and Phyllis?"

Otto stopped signing, but turned his head and asked, "Haven't you found Dakko yet?"

Wendy floated over and silently tore open a silent enchantment magic scroll, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Kevin took a few breaths before shaking his head and said, "Traces of a fight were found on the northern part of the city wall, and a large section of the city wall was damaged, and then the traces of the fight went all the way to the mountains in the northwest, I don't know if it has anything to do with Dako's disappearance." The Alchemy Guild's city defense forces had already gone to investigate, but Phyllis still had to go with her, but she drove me back and said let's pass the qualifying match first. ”

"That's what it is, but at least you're back, and four is better than three. Wendy sighed, and the hoarse voice came from inside the cloak, and even with the blockade of the silent barrier, she still used the sound of a blaster, which showed that she was very cautious.

Leah jumped up suddenly, "What's the matter, she's a decomposer! If she doesn't come back, your enchantment can't be carried out, it seems to be four people, but in fact, without Phyllis, only three of us can play a role, and the other teams are not vegetarians! Want to rely on three people to enter the top 16, isn't it too confident?"

Kevin shrugged his shoulders, "There's no way around it, didn't you expect it a long time ago, and if you can't find Darko, Phyllis won't come back." Even if she comes back, I'm afraid she doesn't have the heart to compete, and it's hard to say how much of a role she can play. ”

The four of them were silent for a while, and after a long time, the surrounding voices suddenly filled their ears again, and the effect of the mute enchantment had disappeared. "Let's go in and get ready, if Darko and Phyllis can get back before the game, they'll find us." ”

Several people walked into the arena in silence, and Leah looked at the end of the runner's passage reluctantly, and stomped her foot fiercely before turning around and walking into the arena. After entering the Colosseum, there is a long corridor that leads directly into the arena. Leah was angry, but Darko and Phyllis couldn't get in touch, so they had to point the finger at the game, "What kind of breaking the competition system, you can sign a contract at the time of registration, to ensure that only the team players can arm the orcs, you can arm the orcs before the game, wouldn't it save a lot of time in the qualifying match?" ”

"How can everything be as we wish, and the contestants are not present, it is a once-in-a-century encounter. Kevin smiled to himself and said, "If you are armed before the game and use it directly in the ring, it will not be an alchemy Grand Prix but a Beast Grand Prix, and it will be a lot less enjoyable." Although the vast majority of the audience can't understand the process, the focus is on joining in the fun, that is, to pretend to be able to understand, and only then can they have the capital to brag to others. But if the time is too long, they will find it boring, so the half hour given to us by the Alchemy Guild is fully considered and carefully calculated. ”

Liya was complaining to herself, but she didn't expect Kevin to analyze the reason seriously, she immediately blushed, pointed at Kevin and said, "You can! It's not you who lost Dako!

"It's come to this, let's stop fighting and think of a way first. Otto coughed and took out a roast chicken from the spatial ring, "Costner was busy all night last night, do you want to replenish some energy?"

Kevin took the roast chicken with an embarrassed face and started to nibble directly. After Otto's reassurance, Leah also knew that Kevin was also tired last night, and sighed and stopped talking.

Wendy groaned for a long time and made a sound, but strangely enough, she didn't use the blast bomb to make a sound, but said directly in her own voice, "Actually, I have a method that can use air magic to break down magic materials, but it takes a lot of time, and it is far less efficient than the disintegration technique of undead magic from flesh and blood, so it is not suitable for such a competition." ”

Kevin hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of chicken legs, and hurriedly asked, "Can you also use qi magic to decompose magic materials? Why haven't I heard of it?" It must be a very technical magic, if you use it, will your identity be revealed? ”

Wendy hesitated and said, "This decomposition technique does require a bit of skill, and although I have never used it in front of others, I am afraid that someone with a heart may be able to deduce my identity from it." ”

Leah's eyes lit up, "Then we can hold our ground and see how the skills of the other teams are, in the early stage of the qualifying competition, when each team is armed with orcs, you can basically see the ranking, if the three of us are not enough, you will not be too late to make a move." ”

Ranked matches are not about facing off in the ring, but about testing the attack power of each team's orcs, based on which they are ranked. And the early arming process is open and visible to all. Although most of the audience just watched the excitement, for master players like Liya, they can roughly guess the later results just from the early process.

Wendy shook her head, "No, my decomposition technique is too inefficient, I roughly calculated it, and it will take more than twenty minutes to decompose it with my method to decompose enough magic essence." I only have less than ten minutes left to enchant, so I'll have to make a decision before I start playing. ”

Hearing Wendy say this, several people fell silent for a while. In the end, it was Wendy who spoke, "I decided to make sure that the team passed the first round, even if there was a possibility that my identity would be revealed. ”

Otto was well aware of the power of the Stormwind Church, and said worriedly, "You have to think about it, if the Stormwind Church knows that you are here, it will be troublesome." Although there are no saint-level powerhouses in the Storm Church now, if so many powerhouses are surrounded at the same time, even you will definitely not be able to escape. And then there are three cardinals, none of which you can contend with. ”

"I know," Wendy's voice sounded calm, "but now that I'm on this team, I'm going to have to do my part for the game, and I can't help you find Dako, but at least I'm going to do my best to win the game." What's more, haven't we analyzed it before, even if my identity is exposed, they won't catch me in the arena in the context of the Alchemy Grand Prix, which is equivalent to being an enemy of the Alchemy Guild, so as long as we pay attention to it. ”

Leah was also moved by Wendy's persistence, and she nodded, "Don't think about it so much, maybe the Storm Church is still searching around like a headless fly, and no one comes here to watch the game." ”

Kevin clenched his fists confidently, "Come on, as long as we enter the top sixteen in qualifying, even if there are two less people, our strength is enough to advance!"

In front of the passage, the sky light appeared in the stadium, and the cheers of the audience like a landslide and tsunami. The four men walked into the Colosseum with their heads held high.
