Chapter 12: The City of Ammar and the Hippodrome

As you can guess from the name alone, the city of Ammar must have a certain connection with the Ammar River, and the city of Ammar, as one of the three main cities of the principality, was indeed named because of its proximity to the Ammar River.

Despite the fact that the Ammar River meanders for tens of thousands of miles and eventually empties into the Storm Sea of the Duchy of Auberdine, as the largest river in the Duchy of Loop, and possibly even the longest river in the middle of the continent, it has very different names among the different Duchies, and the name "Ammer" is only recognized in the Duchy of Loop.

The Ammar River is as wide as the ocean, the vast and boundless, the radius does not know how many miles, at a glance the water and the sky are connected, the sparkling waves reflect the sunset, the sky is full of autumn reeds and there are countless ferries across the river, it is very magnificent, extremely beautiful.

Cheng Ye looked at this mighty river, thinking that it would be difficult for birds to cross this Ammar River in one go, and if there was no ferry, I am afraid that no matter how powerful the demon protector would be able to cross it with his own strength.

However, after all, there have been almost no wars on the mainland in recent years, and even if you don't spend money, you're afraid that the demon protector can easily find a ferry willing to take him across the river, right?

As for Ammar City, as one of the three main cities of the Principality of Lope, Ammar City is close to the Earl Forest, although there has been no war for a long time, but it is in a dangerous terrain, and it is also in the middle of a very critical transportation artery, so it is still built with a majestic white boulder city wall, the ancient talisman and cheetah reliefs on the city wall are clearly visible, and there are not many magic watchtowers on the top of the fortress, and the cheetah battle flag on the green background of Phnom Penh is hunting and flying.

Seeing such a majestic main city for the first time, Tianxun and Chengye seemed to want to sigh something, but all they could say was a simple "slot" or "I'll go".

At this time, the others had already lined up to enter the city, and they naturally didn't have time to appreciate the magnificent main city, so they had to follow quickly.

Unlike ordinary small towns, the gates of Ammar City are long and dark, and the exit from the inner side of the city seems to be far away, like a small hole that will shine, and you can vaguely see a round of sunset setting in the distance, and the fiery red light spills obliquely into it, but it does not penetrate far before it is swallowed up.

"We ...... Do you want to go directly to the arena?" Cheng Ye asked Wang Tianyu in a low voice.

"Of course not," Zhao Qianyu didn't know when he had already walked to the two of them, if you count the eagle riding on Wang Tianyu's shoulder, it would be the three of them, "Let's go find a place to rest first, and then go to the arena to warm up." ”

Although the city gate cave was extremely dark, Cheng Ye could feel Zhao Qianyu's gaze and the rare gentle smile on his face: "Puff up your chest, you are a demon master who is high in the eyes of the common people, how do you look like an old farmer in the countryside rushing to the market?"

Cheng Ye suddenly heard this, straightened his waist and walked to Zhao Qianyu's side, but his pretended arrogant posture was completely shattered the moment he stepped into the city.

Cheng Ye is used to living alone in the forest, even if he is occasionally dragged to the town to drink at night by Zhao Qianyu Hanling or Wang Tianyu Tianxun at night, but the town is just a small town, and every night except for the tavern, he can no longer see any lights, except for the gamblers gambling and drinking, he can no longer hear any sound, so now when he enters the city of Ammar at dusk, he thought that he would see a quiet city that will sleep, but he never thought that this place is still ...... Brightly lit.

The street lights illuminate the flat bluestone pavement like daylight, the street is full of pedestrians, from time to time there are young men and women holding hands to stop in front of the stall to buy some snacks and accessories, the girl giggles from time to time, and the young man on the side looks at the young man's smile, his face is full of happiness.

Unlike the few people who wrapped themselves tightly, the young people in the city were dressed very simply and plainly, and they were also extremely refreshing and cool, and the women's clothes were also extremely cool, or more excessively naked, and most of the women and girls on the street were wearing short-sleeved short skirts, and even the white and tender pieces on their chests were mostly naked, which made people stunned.

On the street, the strong man with the flat burden put down the flat shoulder to wipe the hot sweat on his forehead, untied the kettle tied around his waist and drank in small sips, the fat man in exquisite clothes leaned on the railing upstairs to drink, from time to time pretending to laugh heroically or pretending to sigh melancholy, and there were even a few teenagers sitting in front of the barbecue stall, eating meat and pouring wine while telling jokes loudly, laughing from time to time.

The wealth and grace of the whole world seem to be concentrated in this big city, which is so warm and exciting, and so rich that it is intoxicating.

Cheng Ye thought that he didn't have any savings, and Wang Tianyu, as a paladin, was even more destitute, so they thought that they were going to live in those humble restaurants temporarily, just like they had spent the night in the abandoned castle before, but they didn't want to say that Mo Yan, who didn't know how many years of life and how much wealth he had accumulated, even Zhao Qianyu and Han Ling had a lot of wealth in their hands, although the two were used to frugality, but since they were rich people, they naturally began to care about enjoyment, so the last few people picked an inn in the city that looked extremely high-end, and then asked for the best room, and then went to the Demon Soul Arena。

The Demon Soul Arena is located in Beicheng District, the overall shape is oval, nearly 100 meters high, and the interior is divided into a main arena and twenty-four sub-arenas, which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators at the same time, including one hundred and twenty VIP boxes.

This is not only a place for demon hunters to exchange ideas, but also a place for various forces to show their strength.

Who knows if there are any Demon Protectors who come for the rewards they can get after winning a match?

Here, competition is divided into three categories, the first is the game, that is, the competition with each other, and it is forbidden to kill.

The second is a life-and-death struggle, which is used to resolve irreconcilable disputes.

Finally, there is the bet, where the arena acts as the referee, and both sides of the bet send an equal number of demon protectors to play, and the final winner will get everything in the bet.

In fact, gambling is just a type of life-and-death fight in a sense.

There are also three types of competitions, one-on-one, two-on-two, and group battles, where group battles are based on the number of people, but generally five to seven people.

Walking into the arena, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge stone tablet with dense names carved on it, seeing the confused eyes of Cheng Ye and Tianxun, Han Ling casually explained, these are the guys who died here.

Cheng Ye sighed with emotion: "I can't imagine that people like the Demon Protector will die here in obscurity because of this kind of thing, and I don't know what they ...... before they die."

Zhao Qianyu looked at Cheng Ye and responded indifferently:

"The moment they enter the arena of life and death, they should be ready, they do it themselves, and they just suffer it, there is nothing to be sorry for. ”

Such an indifferent Zhao Qianyu made people a little unaccustomed, and the duck tugged at the corner of Han Ling's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Why is he a little abnormal today?"

Han Ling smiled and didn't explain too much, just replied, "Maybe I remembered something bad." ”

Signing up to become a competitive player is as simple as filling out a form with your name, age, and soul and paying a gold coin to receive your initial Black Iron Badge.

However, Han Ling took out a bronze badge, which was really unexpected.

Cheng Ye was only stunned for a second, and then decided to fill in his demon soul as "armor" as Mo Yan said before.

It is worth noting that when registering, the staff always looked like they were business-like, they didn't care about their age at all, and the office speed was extremely fast, and they had already handed a rule explanation to Cheng Ye while receiving the form and gold coins.

In the Arena, matches can only be played in the main arena if you have won more than 10 consecutive games or have a high medal level. Novices like them can only be played in the sub-arena - in fact, they are assigned to the seventh sub-arena.

It is said that there are twenty-four sub-arenas, which are divided into different areas, including two categories: game area and life and death area, each of which is divided into three ways, one-on-one, two-on-two and team battles. So, in total, there are six segregated rings.

It is worth mentioning that no matter what level of gambling fight, it will be played in the main arena.

Han Ling saw that he was the next to play, and left first, while the others had nothing to do and simply watched a one-on-one competition.

The names of the two sides are "Phantom Visible" and "Invisible Assassin" respectively, and just from the titles, it can be seen that these are two agile demon protectors who are good at assassination.

The two looked at each other from afar in the two corners of the ring, and at the same time entered a state of alert, and even the surrounding spectators quieted down, waiting with bated breath for a wonderful battle.

"Shadow Walk. ”

"The phantom is invisible. ”

The two of them whispered their stunts at the same time, and then their figures disappeared into the ring in an instant.

"What an amazing ability," Ori whispered, "and it really disappeared out of thin air." ”

Zhao Qianyu had a trace of flame in his fingertips, and a trace of light bloomed in his eyes, "The temperature has also disappeared." ”

Cheng Ye rubbed his eyes and looked at the stands, and said convincingly: "These two people really live up to their reputations, do you say they are fighting at this time?"

'Who knows, I can't see it!' Tianxun pouted.

One minute passed, five minutes passed, fifteen minutes passed......

No one saw how they fought.

"That..... How's your battle going, two players?" The young-looking teenage referee cautiously asked into the air, but received no response.

Just kidding, the assassin duel is based on a hidden figure, who will risk revealing their identity to answer you!

Another ten minutes passed, and most of the audience had already eaten snacks and drank juice to talk about Zhang San, Li Siwang, and Ermazi's parents, everyone was already drowsy, and Zhao Qianyu even beckoned to play dominoes, and the referee finally couldn't bear it anymore, while scolding "The old lady is really XX (unspeakable) XX (damaged image)" while smashing a pure gold ball of light to the ground, and at the moment when the golden ball burst, the two figures appeared.

Nothing seemed to have happened to these two agile demon hunters who were very good at hiding themselves, except for switching places with each other.

The two of them couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

"XXX (Ammar's foul mouth) is which XX (Long live harmony) thing grouped these two XX (emergency silence) things. The referee continued to scold, "You two, this is a draw, both XX (keep civilized v) to get off the stage!"

"Get out of here!"

The crowd watching the battle looked at the two who had stepped down from the stage and were speechless for a while.

The audience next to him booed.

"In the next game, Yeling will play against the Thunder. ”

Then everyone saw Han Ling, dressed in white, walking on the field with a smile on his face.

"Tsk," Zhao Qianyu said in a low voice, "I really pretend to be a master of the world." ”
