In the gratitude of the bearded man, Thor and the strong man chatted.

Saul claimed that this was his first time at Byron Bian, and that he had made a bet on the occasion of the event, and that it was only luck that he could win. For the event itself, my understanding is very limited, and I want to hear a detailed introduction from the strong man.

The strong man laughed, the loss of the gambling money obviously made him feel good now, he picked up the wine vat and bumped it with Thor, and then patted his chest to make sure he knew everything.

This is exactly what Saul wants, a strong man who is a local resident and a veteran gambler, who must have more attention and understanding than ordinary people about the event itself.

Next, Saul asked very carefully, from the origin of the event to the grand occasion of the previous editions, from the quality of the contestants to the hot and cold favorites who won the championship. Then there are many rules about how long each tournament will take place, eliminations and promotions, finals, and so on.

Eventually, Saul's question returned to the gambling game, which was the topic that the strong man was most interested in.

From the mouth of the strong man, Thor learned that every arena competition is the main event of the year in the imperial city of Byron Bian, and its attention and excitement are even far higher than that of the spring celebration. And the reason for this is that Byron Bian was originally a martial country.

After all, apart from the Dark Council in the South and the Freedom Alliance in the North, the Knights have always been neutral on the continent. But sometimes if you want to be neutral, you also need to have some strength to resist the waves of annexation and invasion over the long years.

In terms of gambling, Saul learned about the approximate odds fluctuations of each event.

One of the things that most concerns Saul is the audience for this gambling game, and I heard the strong man say that almost every year, all the big and small families of Byron Bian will participate in different degrees. After all, this kind of fanatical national activity is the best time to grab profits.

In addition, it is said that during the annual event, the royal family will relax the gambling atmosphere of the people, after all, it is only once a year.

However, there have been two tournaments in previous years, and some local big families have relied on their power to maliciously buy participants to play match-fixing in order to grab more profits.

After the matter was exposed, it was ordered by the king to be rectified, because this filthy method was originally contrary to chivalry, and it was far from the purpose of the competition. Therefore, the overall atmosphere of the current arena events can be said to be relatively fair and just.

After listening to the strong man's narration, a glimmer of light flashed under Thor's eyes.

This is the ...... It's very interesting.

Then Thor fell into deep thought, and while there was a lot of noise around him, he sank into his own world.

The fighting in the arena below is still going on, and the fighting methods are roughly divided into two ways: flat ground fighting or horseback charge. The choice of method is agreed by the two sides before the match, and if both sides have their own opinions, the final decision will be made by tossing silver coins.

In terms of the use of weapons, Thor had seen the Warriors use swords, meteor hammers, swords and shields, and knights' spears. In short, there are many types, but most of them are long swords.

The real knight's spear was actually very heavy, belonging to the horseback weapon, with a thin pointed conical body and a long handle.

The so-called horseback weapon means that when you use this kind of weapon, you can't swing flexibly on horseback because of the weight of the weapon, you can only maintain a flat posture of spikes, and then rely on the charge and speed of the war horse to achieve the purpose of strong penetration and destruction.

Of course, the heavy lance is only one of the long-handled weapons, but there are also short-handled, lighter knight spears, etc.

Staunt and Diller watched from the sidelines with a lot of fun, although the competition below was all knightly classes, and in terms of fighting style, it was far from them. But at the end of the day, it's still a fight, a bloody sport that belongs to men.

"What's wrong with you, aren't you interested?" Seeing that Thor was silent for a long time, not looking very interested, Beth put her arm around Thor and shook it, pulling Thor back from his deep thought.

"Call them, we should go, I have some ideas about getting money. Thor held Beth's small hand with open fingers.

Then the four of them silently withdrew in the midst of the uproar of the audience.

Along the way, everyone was very curious about what Thor had done, but seeing his frowning and thoughtful expression, everyone didn't bother, and the people coming and going on the street were obviously not a good place to talk about things.

I found a hotel with good specifications at the boundary between the inner and outer city and opened three rooms.

Then Thor gathered his companions together in his room, and they sat around him with small round stools, like a circle of children waiting to hear a story, with a light in their eyes, wanting to hear what Thor had in mind.

Thor smiled deeply, resting his legs on the table, then gesturing at his back and legs.

"Damn! my reputation in life is ruined. Diller muttered as he lowered his head and helped Thor thump his legs.

"Less nonsense, since you are a man, what you say will count. Staunt and Diller helped Thor thump his legs, Beth's little hands pinching his shoulders behind his back, and Thor closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment.

In the past, when everyone came, they made a bet that whoever found the door to Byron Bian's secret realm first would enjoy the services of others, so now they are willing to gamble and lose.

"Say it before I break your dog's leg. Stant's face was black and urging.

"My thoughts, like your actions at the moment, are derived from gambling. Thor made a start.

Next, Thor told his companions exactly what he had said about his conversation with the gambler in the arena today.

"You mean we can gamble to make a lot of money during the event?" said Diller's voice, and Staunt immediately looked up, and it seemed that the two of them should be thinking about the same.

Beth behind her actually thought about it, but in the end she pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Impossible, the whole event lasted about half a month from the start to the end. Even if we weren't in a hurry for time, there was so little room to maneuver and we had limited funds. ”

"Thor still has about two hundred silver coins in his hand, and this amount will need to be multiplied at least a hundredfold to reach our goal for this trip. ”

"According to the current odds of gambling, even one-to-two odds are rare. This means that we have to bet all the money in our hands every game, and we have to win from beginning to end, we can't lose a single game, and if we lose, we have nothing. ”

"In addition, from the perspective of the tournament system, there are a lot of big and small games, but the problem is that we can't control the outcome of the tournament unless ...... We can have a way to get the contestants to play match-fixing. ”

"But this is obviously not possible, not to mention that the atmosphere of the current competition has been relatively fair, even if it affects the will of the participants, unless a few of us can have the energy comparable to the local big family, but we don't. ”

Beth's analysis was meticulous, but when she finished speaking, she noticed that the smile on Thor's face hadn't disappeared. This means that his analysis did not affect Thor, or that he did not guess Thor's thoughts, which made Beth even more curious.

Three pairs of eyes looked at Thor steadily, as if trying to see through his inner tricks.

Staunt and Diller grabbed Thor's leg with a look on their faces that if you make any more fools, we're going to have to exert ourselves.

"Your analysis makes sense, but it doesn't have much to do with what I'm going to do. But I can't say the details yet, because I just have a general idea, and I still have to consider some details. Thor replied aloud.

"Is it risky?" asked Stante.

"There are definitely risks in these gray tricks, but because the randomness is too strong, it is really difficult to judge whether the risks are big or not. Thor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes again.

Seeing Thor's mysterious appearance, Stint and Diller struck decisively, cursing and swearing, and carried the small round stool back to their respective rooms.

Beth coaxed in bed for a long time at night, and Thor didn't let go, only saying that he was still thinking.

In the middle of the night, Thor woke up and alarmed Beth.

"You don't have to go, it's just a trivial matter, you can sleep again, and wait for me to come back." Thor rubbed her head.

"No, I'm going too. Beth hung around Thor's neck, and she was so curious that she didn't even dream well.

"Then hurry up and get dressed. Thor was scared to pat her little ass.

Calling Staunt and Diller, and when everything was ready, the four of them quietly touched the streets of the outer city.

There was some excitement and anticipation in the eyes of the three of them, wanting to see what means Thor had to grab the wealth.

Thor looked back and forth, it was late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

"Let's do it, start here. Thor circled around a street lamp and kicked the base with his foot.

"Moving...... What are you doing?" all three were dumbfounded.

"Steal the street lamp, didn't you say it was done at noon? Hurry up, Staunt is responsible for shaking the lamppost loose, Diller unlocks the lock and takes out the magic crystal by the way, Beth and I follow behind to receive the goods. "Thor has clearly arranged everything.

But...... Why didn't I sleep well in the middle of the night and came to steal the street lamp with you? Beth also regretted that why the hell did I leave the warm bed, why did I stupidly follow along to join in the fun?

Since Thor called everyone up late at night, it was obviously not a joke, and several people muttered and began to move.

Stint walked in front and hugged the lamppost, shaking the whole street lamp loose, Thor and Beth easily followed, holding the lamppost and waiting for Diller to unlock and take out the magic crystal in it, and then received it in the ring.

The base of this street lamp is buried in a small square pit, and it is not buried too deep, and it does not require much effort to shake.

With the division of labor, things went easily, and in a short time, the whole street was completely dark. If you are not a resident of the surrounding area, you may not be aware of the change in the street surface.

After all, looking at the entire continent, there may be only freaks like Thor who will not sleep in the middle of the night and come to ...... Stealing street lights.

As for this suddenly blackened neighborhood, it may be a big news story tomorrow, but that's a headache for the city guard.
