As far as I could see, the captain of the Royal Guard at Fort Riptide couldn't see the end at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Teridas pulled me to the side of the road, and the guards galloped past on horseback, just glancing at the two of us without stopping.

"How are you?" Suddenly, a white steed stopped in front of me.

I was admiring the spectacular horse team at Riptide Castle when I was interrupted by a familiar voice.

When I looked up, I saw that the person on the horse took off his silver helmet, revealing short black hair and a handsome face, which was Yun Xiaohan.

"Ahh It's you! What a coincidence! "I was also very happy to see Yun Xiaohan.

"How did you get here?" Yun Xiaohan parked the horse to the side of the road and got off the horse.

The guards were still moving at high speed, horseshoe trodden and dusty.

"I have something I want you to help with!" I can't wait.

"Really?" Yun Xiaohan was a little surprised, and looked at Tyridas beside me again: "You guys came to Riptide Castle, does Severn know?" ”

"Nitya informed him on the way." Tyridas replied.

"You're the Shadow Priest from last time." Yun Xiaohan recognized Tyridas, but he and Tyridas were only one-sided.

"His name is Tyridas." I smiled and introduced, "Last time I was in Silvermoon City, it was the Yongge Rune that he helped repair. ”

Yun Xiaohan nodded.

"Is this your first time at Riptide Castle?" Yun Xiaohan held the helmet around his waist and asked.

Tyridas didn't speak, but I said excitedly, "Yes! My first time! ”

Yun Xiaohan smiled and said, "Then I'm going to take you on a good tour." ”

By the time he spoke, the horse team had already crossed the bridge over the Arathi Heights.

"Where are you going?" I asked, looking at the back of the guards.

"Riptide Castle and Silvermoon City signed an agreement to establish a magical city-state, weren't you there when the agreement was signed? We're going to Hillsbrad Hills to start construction. Yun Xiaohan said, put the helmet on his head again, and turned over on his horse: "You go to Rapids Fort first to find a hotel to stay, and I will come back in two days and take you around." ”

"Okay." Tyridas nodded at Yun Xiaohan, who also responded politely, and then pulled the reins, and the horse neighed, and immediately galloped to catch up with the large army.

Magical city-states? Isn't that Dalaran?

I remembered that the original Dalaran was indeed built on the Hills of Brad.

"Let's go." Tyridas said as he looked at the distant backs of the guards.

"Yes."

The two of us stayed at the hotel in Riptide Castle for two days, and Yun Xiaohan really came back.

Yun Xiaohan, as the host, led me and Teridares to wander around the city, excitedly introducing the urban layout of Riptide Castle.

There is pride and pride in the words.

"It's a coincidence that you've arrived, and there's been an event recently." Yun Xiaohan was full of smiles, looking particularly excited.

"Oh? What activities? Tyridas asked.

"The Countercurrent Arena at Fort Riptide is back open, and there's going to be a great show tomorrow!" As he spoke, Yun Xiaohan pointed to the poster posted on the wall: "See, the most fierce duel of the year!" ”

"Duel?" I looked at the scene on the poster, and suddenly felt that the design of this gladiatorial arena looked so much like the grandstand in the copy on the day of the battle for the first kill?

So he turned around and asked, "I don't know what kind of duel it is?" ”

"At the beginning of spring this year, a female mage came from Silvermoon City," Yun Xiaohan recounted endlessly: "This female mage has defeated more than ten human warriors of Riptide Castle in a row in the gladiatorial arena of Riptide Castle, and she is invincible!" ”

Speaking of this, Yun Xiaohan's hands clenched the dagger at his waist, and he seemed to be eager to try.

"So, tomorrow is the performance of the female mage?" I asked curiously.

"Haha, isn't it?" Yun Xiaohan said with a smile: "There are two challengers to Riptide Castle today, and that mage, as the champion, accepted the challenge and found a partner!" It's a warrior she's ever defeated, a very strong warrior! ”

"I don't know what the name of that female mage is?" I asked.

"Her name is Serena." Yun Xiaohan replied.

I was a little disappointed because I didn't know the mage with that name, and it didn't seem to be a member of the old guild.

However, Yun Xiaohan's hospitality is difficult to resist, so let's go and take a look.

With that in mind, I decided to watch tomorrow's game.

……

The next day, Yun Xiaohan took me and Teraidas to the "Countercurrent Arena" on the outskirts of Fort Riptide.

This "Countercurrent Arena" was built and put into use very early, and legend has it that King Soladin ordered him to design and build it when he first founded Alatho, and its main purpose was to train and select knights. However, as the human kingdom became unified and there were fewer wars, it was used as a venue for arenas, offering gladiator duels to the citizens of Fort Rapids.

Nestled in the forest on the outskirts of the city, the Countercurrent Arena occupies a vast area and has a magnificent architecture, which contrasts with the lush forest plants around it, making it very ancient and majestic. It seems to be modeled after a Roman temple, with simple and elegant columns on the outside. From a long distance, you can see the neat marble columns outside the arena, dozens of tall stone pillars enclosing the outer wall of the arena into a rectangle, and the gate is very imposingly decorated.

When I got closer, I realized that on the dozens of marble columns, from left to right, each of them had a human relief carved on it.

"These are gladiators who have won brilliant battles in the Countercurrent Arena." Yun Xiaohan saw that I was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but introduce.

I curiously touched the lifelike reliefs, walked from left to right to the far right, only to find that the last few pillars were blank.

"Why isn't there here?"

"This is for the warriors of the future." Yun Xiaohan replied with a smile.

I counted seventy-two pillars, but there were only about fifty warriors carved into them.

"Are there only about fifty in a few hundred years? This is also an exaggeration. I stuck out my tongue and sighed.

Yun Xiaohan just pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

"Let's go inside." Tyridas said.

"Okay."

The three of them walked through the gate to the interior of the Countercurrent Arena and climbed up the dark staircase to the stands.

There were so many people who came to see the performance today, and Yun Xiaohan had pre-booked three positions with excellent viewing angles, just facing the gate where the gladiators appeared.

After taking their seats, Teridad and Yun Xiaohan chatted.

At first, I was bored, I didn't like to watch fights or duels, and I used to hate PvP when I played games, and I was a PvE player in the truest sense of the word.

At that moment, the crowd in the stands cheered loudly, and the surrounding spectators stood up, and I looked towards the entrance of the arena.

It was a female human mage and a male human warrior, the mage girl wore a wide magic hat, veiled, a glittering white gold-rimmed cloth robe, and a beautiful staff on her back, while the warrior beside her was tall, almost twice as large as her, full of muscles, wearing a dark silver armor, and holding a huge axe, which was held on her shoulder.

Probably because of the female mage, the audience applauded and cheered for a long time, and it could be seen that the expectations for this pair were very high.

I looked at them carefully and made sure I didn't know them.

However, my eyes lit up when I saw another pair that appeared as challengers.

It was two hunters, the one on the left was a Night Elf girl, wearing a dark green dress, gray leather armor, long silver hair combed into a long braid, hanging down on the left shoulder, carrying a glittering bow and arrows, and a snow-white leopard. On the right is also a Night Elf hunter, with long silver hair scattered over his shoulders, carrying a voodoo longbow and a beautiful pink spore bat.

Yes, it was the two comic hunters who caused me to be bugged into the game world, "Crazy Smile" and "Deng Wenyue".

"Who are the two of them?"

"They're the challengers today." Yun Xiaohan crossed his fingers, put them on his knees, leaned back on the seat, and showed a lazy smile.

Challenger? Are Foolish Xiaoxiao and Deng Wenyue going to challenge that powerful female mage "Serena" and warriors?

My eyes sparkled as I waited to see the show.
