Spikes
The contract rune resurfaced, and the gold coins on Dacko and the others' side were returned, and Sevier's gold coins fell directly into a table on the other side of the casino. It was the next game between Darko and Gafreřák, and Sevier's gold was all bet on the victory of Darko by the power of the contract.
After putting away the gold coins, Phyllis and Liya both let out a long breath, obviously if they lost all the gold coins they had overdrawn from the family, they would also need to pay a certain price. Kevin turned around and thanked Phyllis and Leah from the bottom of his heart, a gamble he wouldn't have been able to take part in without their support.
Phyllis smiled arrogantly, and was about to boast about it, but saw Kevin's body go weak and collapsed directly to the ground. Phyllis jumped up in fright, Dacko and the others immediately surrounded her, Lia hurriedly stepped forward to support Kevin, and after a few spells, her nervous expression eased slightly.
"Kostner is fine, he was overly nervous during the gambling game, and as soon as he relaxed after the gambling game, he fainted, just compensated for the 'sexual' fainting, and he could rest for a while. Leah explained the situation to Darko and the others.
Knowing that Kevin was fighting so hard, Darko and the others were all in awe, and they all knew that Kevin had fought to this extent for the sake of this team. Although it may seem like the gamble has nothing to do with the Alchemy Grand Prix, it is in fact inextricably linked, and many matches throughout history have proven that it is not uncommon for off-court gambling to determine the outcome of the game.
Darko and Otto picked up Kevin and were about to leave, but Wendy pointed to the wall to the side, "Look there." ”
On that wall was a magical projection of the information of each team in the Alchemy Grand Prix, which had been there before the start of the qualifying round, and now with the reduction of the number of teams, the information introduction of each team on the team has also become more, so the entire wall is still filled with dense information. Dakko looked at it and saw that all kinds of information about their team had been excavated, and the previous alchemy products, the fields they were good at, and even the time they had reached the master level were all described. Looking in the direction of Wendy's finger, I saw that there was the corresponding information about the famous pen used by Darko, the inscriptionist, and when he saw it clearly, Darko was stunned for a moment.
Phyllis shouted directly, "Oops! Death withered and became the tenth-ranked master! It must be the Alchemy Guild that changed the ranking of the top ten." ”
Liya thought for a while and said, "The ranking of famous pens in history is inseparable from the finished inscriptions of the corresponding inscription master. In our last win over Tyrone, who possessed Fallen Stars, Darko's Death Wither was ahead of Fallen Stars, taking its place in 10th place. ”
Darko and the others looked at each other, for famous writers, the ranking of the Alchemy Guild was the absolute authority. At that time, Kevin gilded the Apoptotic Cloud Silence, and they also saw that it contained a lot of technical content, but no one expected that this magic pen would be in place just like that, and it would rise to a higher ranking. Kevin was still fainting from weakness, unaware that he had become one of the ten most famous pens.
Darko turned his head to look at Kevin, whose eyes were closed beside him, his brow still furrowed. Dakko knew that Kevin's brow would not be stretched until the final results came out. In every round of this game, Kevin never let up, just hoping to win the final matchup.
At this moment, in this gambling game, Kevin has done his best, and the news of this gambling game has already spread, and it has affected the 'wave' movement of the odds of both sides of the game. But will this have an impact on the outcome of the semi-finals?
……
A few days later, the Colosseum welcomed the semi-finals of the Alchemy Grand Prix. As the knockout rounds progressed, half of the teams were eliminated in each round, and there were fewer and fewer matches in each round, with only four teams competing in two matches in the semi-finals. Although there were fewer games, there were more spectators in the stands, and even some people who didn't buy tickets managed to enter the stadium and gather in the aisle to watch the game.
The two semi-finals will see the winner of Group C and Group B 2, Gafreřák, take on the winner of Group B 1st and Group D 2nd Darko, and the winner of Group A 1st and 2nd Group C will play Rochechren 'Goalkeeper' against the winner of Group D 1st and 2nd Group A, Kostner. This process has been proven in previous editions of the Alchemy Grand Prix, where two teams that have met in the group stage will have to wait until the final to meet again if they are undefeated in the knockout round.
The Darko team waited in the waiting area for the start of the game, the first game was against Gafreshak, and it was the first time they played in the first game. Darko remembered the causal connection of 'chaos' and 'chaos' on Seville's body, and always felt that something would happen.
The incident in the casino that day was seen by many people, so after the news leaked that day, it directly led to an abnormal 'wave' in the odds. As of today, the odds for Gafreřák's 5-10 minute loss to Darko have dropped to just 1.21, indicating that more and more people are betting on this period. Because the Darko team had beaten the Nairobi team in 8 minutes, the odds of even bringing the Gafreřák team to beat the Darko team in 5-10 minutes have dropped again and again.
Sitting in the waiting area, still looking worried, Leah looked at Kevin and asked, "They're probably not caring about the money at all, and they're not affected at all?" Will they use very violent means to kill us, even if they give up the finals, and they still have spare orc warriors?"
Kevin sighed lightly, "Miss Lopez, you have been worried many times today, but I don't have god-level prophecy, how can I be unpredictable prophet?" After all, the other party only bet on 50,000 gold coins for us to win, but the game may still be completely detached from the off-field odds, this kind of uncontrolled competition is actually not uncommon in history, who said it well?"
Kevin temporarily fainted after gambling that day, but fortunately regained consciousness a few hours later, causing Darko and the others to have a false alarm. But in any case, it's good to be able to win one game before the official ring match, and the momentum has already prevailed.
Darko also chimed in, "In short, we just play in the ring according to our strength, we are not afraid of anyone, although they are orc leaders, our Aceba has also learned a lot of tactical skills, and we will not lose to each other." ”
Phyllis clenched her fists and said, "That's it, it doesn't matter if they want to make trouble or not, we just kill them in a fit of anger, what are we afraid of, we are no worse than them in terms of real strength!"
Otto nodded heavily.
In the anxious waiting of several people, the game finally began, and the six people walked into the armed zone, several members of Gafreshak's team did not seem to have anything unusual, and Sevier even smiled at Darko and the others across the ring.
There was no 'waste' of time, and the Darko team was directly involved in the rush as soon as the game began, and everything was armed according to their prior drills. Compared to the previous games, this time the defense of Aciba has been strengthened mainly to deal with the stronger attacks of the orc commanders.
Darko was fully acquainted with the wiping of Death, and the indigo-colored magic pen was held securely in his hand, copying intricate glyphs on parchment. For the sake of defense, Darko only needs to copy a support glyph, compared to Kevin, who is more busy, and he has to make a lot of changes to the gloves, while retaining the attack power, but also strengthening his defensive nature, so that Aciba can greatly reduce the damage when blocking.
At 27 minutes, Kevin finally forged the two fists and 'handed them over' to Wendy, who enchanted the two gauntlets at great speed, but they were two different enchantments, the left hand was a hard one that emitted a light blue glow, and the right hand was a durable one that emitted an orange and yellow 'color' light. The different enchantments of these two gauntlets are based on Aciba's defensive habits, and are suitable for blocking and grappling, respectively.
Otto is facing a certain challenge, this time he has to prepare a special defensive 'medicine', which is also a more difficult one among the special 'medicine'. He opened his field almost the entire time, carefully performing slow motion. But compared to the fast 'manipulation' of others, some ordinary spectators in the stands prefer to watch Otto because of the slow speed that can be understood. So the cheering for Otto gradually gained the upper hand in the cheering voice, which made him even more nervous. Fortunately, he had practiced many times in the past few days, and finally there were no mistakes, and he prepared the 'medicine' before the time deadline.
After a series of armaments, Assiba has turned into a complete ironclad turtle, if the full armor used by the Diaz team can be called tough, then the current Aceba is terrifying!
In the voice of the chief referee, the iron gates on both sides gradually opened. Ashiba didn't run out at a very fast speed, because it already knew that it was necessary to focus on defense, not to rush too hard, to maintain a certain speed to resist the opponent's momentum, and then to do a full defense. Wait until the explosive power of the opponent's orc command is exhausted, and then find a gap to counterattack, in order to maximize the initiative. But on the other side, the orc leader of Gafreshak's team also walked slowly and even step by step, like a zombie.
Phyllis muttered to herself strangely, "What are they doing? Shouldn't they attack as soon as possible, how can they go so slowly?"
Leah guessed, "Maybe it's charging, preparing to burst the strongest blow, or is it about to blow itself up?"
Wendy shook her head and said, "Don't guess, just wait and see." ”
Dakko also nodded, they had already done what they needed to do, and even now anxiety would not help.
Although neither side was fast, the ring was only that big, and Asiba and the orc leader eventually met in the center of the ring. Asiba looked at the crumbling orc leader strangely, and simply punched him, although Darko told him to use defensive counterattack tactics, Asiba was not inflexible, and did not hesitate when it was time to try.
Ashiba punched out and hit the orc commander directly in the face, and the orc commander was directly knocked out of the air, rolled on the ground twice, and was motionless with one kick of his feet, and died like this.
For a moment, the entire Colosseum fell silent, and everyone, including Team Dako, did not know what was happening. After a few seconds of silence, there was a commotion in the Colosseum, with shouting, shouting, scolding, taunting, whistling, and so on.
Sevier was enjoying his face, closing his eyes and opening his arms to bathe in the sound of the audience against them, laughing happily.
"Wha......ha
As the second in line to the throne of the Gafreshak family, Joyas stood behind Sevier with a respectful face, "Thank you, brother, thanks to you this time." That guy Salver, I've long thought he was unpleasant, if it weren't for your brother and you leaving the family, where would he have a chance to become the first in line to the throne?"
Many people think that all teams will do anything to win the Alchemy Grand Prix, but they don't know that the competition will also give way to other interests. For the Gafreřák family, who started out as a casino, the most important thing is to control the gambling game and ultimately achieve the goal of making money. As for the goal of winning the championship, it was not in the plan of the Gafreřák team from the beginning to the end. Even if they win this game against the Dakko team to reach the final, they will play a fake game in the final to earn more profits. Having monopolized the business of casinos in major towns, the money earned by the Gafreshak team from playing match-fixing in the Alchemy Grand Prix has long exceeded the value of the championship prize, not to mention the loss of an orc leader. But on the other hand, only the Gafreřák family, who opened the casino, was able to make money in this way.
"I'm not a member of the Gafreshak family anymore, Salver is naturally the deserved first in line of succession, but he is not a simple person, no matter how down-and-out he is, he can't be despised either, you know?"
Milley on the side was still unconvinced, "Brother, in terms of bloodline purity and talent in all aspects, where is Salver better than you? If you hadn't insisted on giving up your profession as a priest of discipline, your father and the elders would not have driven you away." ”
Sevier was silent for a moment before he said, "Whatever you think, I have never regretted becoming a prophet. ”
On the other side of the ring, several members of the Darko team were also a little dazed in the face of the sudden victory. Otto rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "When did Aciba's attack become so strong?"
Darko said in a deep voice, "It's not that Aciba is too strong, it's that the other party's orc commander is too weak. ”
Wendy was still staring at the corpse of the orc leader in the ring, "What the hell is going on? Even if the Gafreshak team gave the orc leader a hibernation mixture, it wouldn't take effect until 6 minutes later, right?"
"Ahh
"It looks like they're playing tricks on the orc leader's life force. "As the god of the Church of Life, Ria is very sensitive to this, "If you want the orc leader to be killed with one blow, the only way is to reduce its vitality through secret methods, maintain a little vitality in the ring, and then be killed in seconds, it seems that this is the plan of the Gafreshak team." ”
Darko suddenly realized, "Gafreshak's team has gained a huge amount of money in this game at the expense of an orc commander, and it is really daring to give up." ”
There was a commotion in the audience at the Colosseum, but Ashiba in the ring was sad and angry. It looked at the orc leader who had fallen to the ground, he had lost all his life, and as a warrior of the orc, he had died without a single punch, which had to be said to be a kind of sadness.
"Whew!" Ashiba let out a roar of rage, drowning out all the sounds in the Colosseum for a moment, and slowly raised his right fist in the direction of Gafreshak's team.
Seeing this scene, Sevier's smile gradually froze on his face, and he looked at Ashiba and whispered to himself, "Are you declaring war on me?" Okay, I accept it, hehehehe, hahahaha......"
