142. Rank as a gladiator
At noon, the annual gladiatorial group stage was completed.
Although it is possible to admit defeat by fleeing the border, there is still no shortage of gladiators who are directly killed by their opponents.
There was a commotion in the stands, and there was a heated discussion about the situation of this year's group stage, which was more exciting than last year, but more discussions were on Long Ge.
"Hell, the Harpy actually passed the group stage, how can a monster who has trampled on the Holy Church enter the finals!" The male spectator said resentfully.
"yes, she shouldn't have been qualified in the first place!" People around also said.
At first, people were expecting the Harpy to be defeated in the group stage and punished with justice, but now everyone's attitude has changed 180°, and in terms of the battle situation, the so-called Harpy has taken the limelight.
On the royal throne platform, King Charles is not particularly willing to see such a situation happen, but when the Dragon Singers made their debut and ended the three group games in one fell swoop, there was probably such a result.
This is seriously inconsistent with King Charles's original plan - thinking that Xia Zuo could not find a strong warrior, so he retreated.
The people in the audience also complained about the victory of the Harpy, King Charles could not use his power to prohibit her from fighting, and it was one thing that he could not repent, and on the other hand, the gladiator qualifications were determined by the church in the name of the god Maury, and the censors were all members of the church, and it was taboo to use power to interfere.
"There is no doubt about it, Xia Zuo, your slave has been promoted." Rupert sighed in Xia Zuo's ear.
Although Xia Zuo suggested not to call it that, Rupert was not reassured.
"I don't usually watch gladiatorial fights, but it's incredible! Long Ge knocked his opponent out of the field with a single blow every time, no matter how big the opponent was..."Jenny also said excitedly.
"But that's too monotonous." Rupert replied.
Xia Zuo was not surprised at all, the 45-level Long Ge, the opponents in the group stage were all in their twenties, only the lizardman in the first game exceeded LV30, and the other opponents could be imagined, as long as the two sides went there, there was no suspense in Xia Zuo's eyes.
"And is it lunch time now?" Xia Zuo asked casually, "It's in the afternoon to watch the finals." ”
"Not so fast, the referee is going to read out the names of the 32 finalists, Xia Zuo, why don't you look happy at all? Your gladiator has won. Rupert said.
"Long Ge's shortlisting is a sure thing, plus the other two players who have won seven consecutive games, there are currently 3 confirmed shortlists." Jenny touched her chin with her hand, recalling the many battles that had preceded her.
After clearing the gladiatorial arena, the referee's representative walked to the center of the arena, unfolded the manuscript in his hand, and then opened a amplified magic scroll, which immediately turned into a flame, which was thrown out of his hand by the referee and burned.
Creates a small blue circle that follows and is fixed in front of the referee's mouth.
"Now I'm going to read out the list of finalists for the anniversary fight."
The referee's voice was amplified by the circle - one way forward, so as not to get too close, and the caster himself was deafening.
The noisy audience was silent for a moment, and they all expected that the contestants they were betting on would be selected - most of the bets were made, except for Long Ge.
Even if you are shortlisted in the group stage, you can win a small amount of money, and the anniversary gladiatorial fight is supported by the nobles under the king's advocacy, and the odds are several times higher than usual.
"Igor, the one without a family name." The referee read out the first player to win seven in a row.
Some of the people in the stadium cheered, they were all people who were betting on Igor. Igor's seven-game winning streak is a sight to behold, making that cheer seem like a show-off.
At the entrance of the arena, out of a hawk figure, eagle head, erect human body, wearing a battle robe, feet for bird giant claws, hands and wings connected, shaped like a bat wing structure, turning joints claws stretched out, every inch of the body has feathers, no weapons.
This made Xia Zuo worry about his face, and he also had the word eagle, which was so different from Long Ge's popularity.
Eagleman Igor stood a short distance from the referee and raised his left wing to salute the spectators.
"Nemoanne, the unnamed one."
After the referee read the second seven-game winning streak, the audience cheered again.
She emerges from the shadows of the entrance, and unlike the other contestants, she has no feet, only a floating orange-red fishtail - a merfolk woman with a talent for floating.
Nemoanne wears a coat of the same color as the orange-red tail, which is light and fluttering, showing an exotic style. His jet-black hair was weightless, like swaying seaweed.
She didn't carry any weapons either, and all she used in the group stage was talent magic. It left a deep impression on Xia Zuo, because the mermaid clan often lives in the water, and there are very few merfolk who have mastered the magic of floating, let alone talent.
After coming ashore, the merfolk also needed water to sustain their lives, and with Nemoanne floated with several droplets and several irregularly shaped water clouds, which accompanied her into her nose and out of the three pairs of gills on the side of her neck.
In the end, she also stayed next to the referee, and because she was shortlisted, she flipped in the air in celebration, which was like swimming in the water for her.
"Long Ge, no family name, the above are the three players who have won seven consecutive victories in the group stage!"
The referee's voice was obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and Long Ge walked out.
There were a few spectators in the seat who were about to shout, and after only half shouting, they covered their mouths and smiled at the surroundings. Then there was a boo with the crowd.
Although Long Ge is insulting to the beliefs of the citizens, and the audience is not optimistic about her, no one will not be optimistic about money, and there are still a few people who quietly bet on Long Ge in order to win, but their faces are still disgusted by the herd performance.
Long Ge was the fastest of the three gladiators to reach seven consecutive victories, but he was put to the end.
There are three players who have won seven consecutive games this year, except for Ica and Chopper, who directly advanced to the finals, this year can be regarded as one more than last year, and the audience is looking forward to the final in the afternoon.
"There are 32 players in the finals, and there will be 16 groups of advanced matches and finals in the afternoon, and then the players will be supplemented..."The referee continued to look at the bottom of the list and shouted: "Six consecutive winners, Maggie Night Hunt." ”
There was a lot of uproar in the audience, because she was Eddie's gladiator, and many people bought Maggie to advance.
Maggie hesitated for a moment, and finally walked into the venue, and after coming to a stop around the referee, she kept her head down, not knowing how to face Long Ge, and how to circumvent the order that Eddie gave to her yesterday - once the gladiatorial fight encounters Long Ge, the curse seal will force herself to fight to the death with the other party, leaving no stone unturned...
Why didn't things develop for the better, he and Miss Long Ge both entered the borderless finals in the afternoon, there was an order, and he couldn't take the initiative to choose defeat, if Miss Long Ge defeated every opponent she met in the end, it would be a matter of time before she encountered her.
The uneasy Maggie raised her head and quietly glanced in the direction of Long Ge, but Long Ge smiled and beckoned to her.
Maggie was startled and looked away.
Long Ge beckoned, she opened her mouth slightly at a loss, did the cat-eared Asian girl see that she felt that she had no chance of winning? Fear? ... But that can't be helped, for the sake of freedom and Xia Zuo's goal, he must win.
Six wins in a row are complete, followed by five in a row, four in a row... Until the referee is surrounded by 30 players, the finalists are decided.
