Chapter 36: Friends
Although the Messiah is calm on the surface at this time, the excitement in his heart is not at all smaller than Lei Xiu, although he is not poor because he has depended on his sister since he was a child, he is by no means rich, although he is now admitted to Shenyuan Academy, it seems to be very beautiful, but he knows very well in his heart that in the future, he will only need more money, learn advanced elemental spells, buy and upgrade elemental staffs, and conduct elemental experiments, which is not a big money-burner?
Originally, he wanted to make money by becoming an apprentice of a potions master after arriving in the imperial capital, but now Lei Xiu has given him such a good opportunity to make money, so that he does not need to spend a lot of time to make money in a short period of time, and can devote all his thoughts to improving the strength of the elemental mage.
Thinking of this, the Messiah perked up and continued, "Okay, then I'll go and sign you up in a while, now the only additional gladiator competition is Kliman, you estimate that it will be the second one after him, do you need to prepare?"
Lei Xiu shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, you just notify me before you end the game, by the way, this money is for you, and I will win." ”
Taking the golden ticket handed over by Lei Xiu, Messiah glanced at it casually, but almost stared out his eyes, "Isn't it, a golden ticket of one million gold coins?
Lei Xiu hurriedly covered Messiah's mouth, and when he saw Wei Ya looking at him with suspicion, he quickly showed a bright smile, until the other party turned his head as if he didn't hear clearly, and then whispered to Messiah, "Can you be quieter? I also earned this money just now, a total of 1.7 million, you will press me all in a while!"
The Messiah moved away from Lei Xiu's hand and said viciously, "Did you earn it back? Did you rob the money of the Imperial Bank? Why don't you call me!"
Lei Xiu smiled and patted Messiah's shoulder and said, "Won't I call you for grabbing money this time, don't worry, there are 200,000 gold coins in it that I will borrow from you, and of course everyone will earn it together if you have money!"
Messiah's expression changed instantly, and he hugged Lei Xiu and smiled affectionately, "Good brother, then I'm welcome, I finally know what it's like to have a local tyrant friend now, it's so cool!"
Lei Xiu rolled his eyes helplessly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it was not the first time he had seen the Messiah's face-changing stunt, but it was still a little hard to believe that the Messiah, who had always been cold and arrogant, would have such a side, but this feeling was very good, maybe they could completely open their hearts to each other and the other side of their unknown side, so that they could be regarded as real friends.
At this time, Kliman's voice suddenly sounded, "Miss Wei Ya, you see, what is going on now is the gladiatorial competition between Eagle Knife and Grizzly Bear, the middle-aged man with a single knife is Eagle Knife, he is a very powerful demon fighter, he has a lot of combat experience, I have fought with him, and after a hard battle, it only ended in a draw." ”
Hearing this, Lei Xiu paused the conversation with the Messiah and turned his eyes to the gladiatorial arena, now his biggest shortcoming is actual combat experience, and he really doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to watch the masters fight, but the Messiah is not very interested in the gladiatorial competition, and takes the money to bet.
In the gladiatorial arena, Kliman's optimistic eagle knife was staring intently at his opponent at this time, his expression was cold and serious, his breathing was steady, and he knew at a glance that he was a veteran of a hundred battles, and the long knife was gently swinging regularly under the drive of his wrist, like a poisonous snake that could not stop sinking, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
Compared to the coldness of Eagle Knife, his opponent was completely different, this free gladiator called Grizzly Bear was tall and fat, his demeanor was very relaxed, and his hands naturally straddled his belt, looking at Eagle Knife for a long time.
The confrontation between the two sides did not last long, and the first to attack was the Eagle Knife, only to see a single knife in his hand suddenly swing, and a golden knife slashed towards the grizzly bear, but he himself moved to the left while swinging the sword.
With a sinister smile on his face, the grizzly slammed his one-handed pestle fist into the ground, and a semicircular earthy yellow shockwave shattered the knife in an instant, and then the fist changed direction in the air, and the shockwave actually turned around, plowing the ground into an L-shaped trace, and blasting towards the moving eagle knife.
Changing the direction of the shockwave is a grizzly bear's specialty, and the Eagle Knife has obviously seen it, and the flashes of the knife in the exhalation and raising the sound of the knife splitting the shockwave in half.
Grizzly Bear laughed, his tall and fat body was surprisingly agile, and as soon as he jumped up, he immediately closed the distance between the two, and his fists glowed with yellow earth elementals, and he hammered towards the head of the Eagle Knife.
Under the onslaught of the grizzly bear, the eagle knife was well guarded at the beginning, and it was able to take advantage of the gap to attack a few threatening times, but the opponent's fist power was too heavy, Lei Xiu and the others seemed to be able to hear the whistling fist wind in the audience, and the physical strength of the grizzly bear seemed to be endless, and the attack of this intensity did not change for twenty minutes, and gradually, the eagle knife only had the ability to parry, and his breathing became short.
Located in the VIP seat, Kliman's face became more and more ugly, not only because the Eagle Knife he was optimistic about at the beginning was completely pressed and beaten by the opponent, making him look disgraced, but more importantly, he had just invested heavily in the Eagle Knife, although 50,000 gold coins would not make him hurt his muscles and bones, it was enough to hurt his flesh.
Wei Ya glanced at Kliman with slanted eyes, and said with a hint of a nonchalant smile on the corner of her mouth, "Mr. Kliman, is this the gladiator you highly recommend to me?" Hey, fortunately, I didn't listen to you and bet on him, otherwise I would have to buy less cosmetics this month, I hope you don't bet too much, this result is too surprising." ”
A smile barely appeared on Kliman's gloomy face, "Miss Wei Ya said with a smile, in fact, the Eagle Knife is not weak, but his opponent is too strong, this gladiator named Grizzly Bear has definitely reached the Black Iron Rank, and his skill of changing the direction of the shock wave just now is enough to make him famous." ”
Wei Ya nodded, she admitted, ordinary demon fighters can't do this kind of skill.
Cheering up, Kliman laughed and said, "Forgive me for missing out, Miss Weiya, the next game is my game, if you can bet on me, it will be my greatest honor!"
After speaking, Kliman stood up, and without looking at Lei Xiu and the Messiah, who had already sat back in his seat, he walked to the preparation area accompanied by the butler.
At this time, a deafening noise suddenly sounded around, and many people waved their arms from the audience, these should be the people who bet on the grizzly bear to win, because in the gladiatorial arena, only the grizzly bear stood alone laughing at this time, and at his feet, the eagle knife fainted straight to the ground, and blood covered his body.
Messiah frowned and looked at the frenzied grizzly bear on the field, lightly touched Lei Xiu with his arm, and whispered, "Lei Xiu, are you sure you want to play? That eagle knife seems to have only half a life left if he doesn't die, this kind of gladiatorial competition is too cruel, do you want to think about it more." ”
Lei Xiu looked at the arena with bright eyes, and said excitedly, "What stupid thing are you talking about, Messiah, how can you not end the game if you have all the bets? Don't you think it's very exciting? The fight with these gladiators must be very cool, I can't wait!"
Looking at Lei Xiu speechlessly, Messiah covered his forehead and said, "Anyway, you take it easy, remember, safety first! If you really can't do it, you will admit defeat, I asked, as long as you admit defeat, the opponent will not be able to continue to attack you, although it is humiliating, it is better than losing your life here." ”
Shaking his head slightly, Lei Xiu muttered in words that only he could hear, "How can it be, I'm a disciple of Grandpa Roger, how can I lose here." ”
After about ten minutes of free space on the field, a middle-aged man wearing a one-eyed blindfold and a sleeveless vest slowly walked to the field, opened his throat and shouted, "Dear guests, congratulations, the time has come to feast your eyes, today at the request of a brave guest, we have added an extra game, this brave guest will challenge our newcomer to the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena, 'Black Crow'!"
"If you have watched the Black Crow match, you must know how fierce and powerful that kid is, but please pay attention, this challenger is not an unknown person, but a genius of the Mambo family of Luna City who has shown his demeanor in our gladiatorial arena many times, Young Master Kliman! This is definitely a wonderful gladiatorial fight, now we give you ten minutes to bet, please hurry up and bet! Ten minutes later, the game will officially begin!"
As soon as the one-eyed man finished speaking, a series of strange screams and roars sounded in the audience, and almost everyone took out their money bags to hand over the gold coins and golden tickets to the yellow-clothed waiters shuttling between the banquets, and replaced them with red paper tickets.
Seeing this, Lei Xiu jokingly said to Wei Ya, "Wei Ya, don't you bet on Kliman to win?" ”
Wei Ya glanced at Lei Xiu, and actually raised her hand, and a sharp-eyed yellow-clothed waiter immediately trotted over to several people, and said respectfully, "Guest, do you want to bet?"
Wei Ya slowly took out the money bag, opened it and rummaged through it, and finally found a gold coin from the money bag, threw it to the waiter in yellow and said, "I bet on Mr. Kliman to win, a gold coin." ”
The yellow-clothed waiter's face suddenly fell, and the bet of a gold coin was the smallest bet amount he had encountered today, but he did not dare to be disrespectful to the guests in the VIP seat, and after taking the gold coin, he still gave Wei Ya a red paper ticket, which was clearly marked with the words "Cleman Gold Coin One".
After the yellow-clothed waiter left with a depressed face, Lei Xiu pointed at Wei Ya while holding his stomach that hurt from laughter, "Hahahaha, Wei Ya, how much confidence do you have in Kliman to make such a heavy bet, but it's beautiful, I like it!"
Wei Ya secretly glanced at the Messiah who was also smiling beside Lei Xiu, as if she said a little casually, "Although I don't like him, everyone has known each other for a long time, and it's a little unreasonable not to buy him to win, but unfortunately I only have gold coins in my wallet, and I'm still a little distressed." ”
Lei Xiu smiled and pointed at himself, "Then you said earlier, I will lend it to you, I still have copper coins here, hahahaha." ”
Wei Ya pursed her lips and smiled, pointed to the arena and said, "Okay, don't laugh, the game is about to start, let's see Mr. Kliman's heroic appearance." ”
