Chapter 34: The Bet

In the blink of an eye, the hall on the first floor of the Adventurers' Guild was noisy, and the non-self-conscious onlookers were expecting a good show called a duel to happen before their eyes soon, but except for some of them who really wanted to pay tribute to the Red Scorpion Adventure Troupe, many of the people who cheered for Dambert didn't actually really support the red-haired Red Scorpion Leader.

The so-called higher the hand, the harder the fall, some people who usually dare not speak out about the behavior of the Red Scorpion Adventurer Group want to take the opportunity to watch Dambert's jokes, they are on the side of the Red Scorpion Adventure Group on the surface, but in their hearts they are quietly biased to the side of Urs, hoping that the young man they see can really teach Dambert a lesson.

Of course, if that big guy can't beat Dambert, that's okay, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him.

β€”β€”The people who started the commotion thought in their hearts.

"You're in trouble, my captain." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was about to get out of control, Gloledon hurriedly came to Urs's side and whispered, "Dambert is not an ordinary fighter, and the responsibility for this incident should have been borne by me personally!" ”

The old thief knew the strength of the current leader of the Red Scorpion, so he was sincerely worried that the young man would lose to Dambert under the noses of so many people......

Not to mention the question of shame or disgrace.

In his past adventure career, he has seen many young and vigorous adventurers like Urs, often because of the momentary enthusiasm, only to be frustrated in front of something they simply cannot challenge, and those with slightly less psychological quality may even lose their self-confidence and sink forever under such blows.

Glorydon didn't want Urs to take such a big risk to stand up for himself.

At the same time, Dambert listened to the cheers of the hecklers, and knew in his heart that some of them were shouting with the expectation that they would be killed.

Unlike Gloriden's extreme self-esteem, the reason why he was able to climb to the position of the leader of the Red Scorpion Adventure Group now was not because of his enthusiasm to stick a knife in the ribs of his companions, but because of his hard power as a high-level warrior and various strategies and tactics that were refined into the bone marrow.

Dambert likes to think of risk and benefit as the only two indicators worth paying attention to to judge whether something is worth dealing with or avoiding.

Urs's challenge to him in a duel seemed to be impossible for him to refuse in the current atmosphere, but it was precisely because of this that he thought that the young man in front of him, who was a knight of the Imperial slave, was deliberately playing tricks on him.

And, what does defeating a two-star adventurer mean to the Grand Master of his Red Scorpion Adventure Group in full view?

Just because the other party scolded himself for being a red-haired monkey?

If so, if the whole city one day called him a monkey, wouldn't he be so angry that he slaughtered the city?

The head of the Red Scorpion pursed his lips and said childishly, and then replied to Urs clearly and bluntly: "Save it, young man, I am not interested in the challenge of nobodies. ”

"In that case, I propose that we bet each other a little." Urs lightly put aside the old thief who was worried about him, stared into the man's eyes and continued to add, "If you outperform me in a duel, then Mr. Commander, you can take this thing." ”

As he spoke, the black-haired young man took a small bag sewn of purple satin from the pocket of his shirt under the leather armor of his cloak and lifted it into the air to show it to everyone present, and then opened the mouth of the bag, and stretched it into the depth of half his forearm as if performing a magic trick.

"Dimensional Bag!" Those with a little discernment and insight immediately recognized the true face of the bag.

It was undoubtedly a magical item.

The storage mode of the Dimensional Bag is very useful for adventurers who often need to go out on missions, because the items stored in the Dimensional Bag do not affect the weight of the holder's body, and the small and portable nature of this magic storage tool makes it more worry-free in battle than heavy adventure backpacks.

In the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the corridor of the hall, some adventurers looked at the dimensional bag in Urs's hand and involuntarily showed greedy expressions from their eyes, while in a dimly lit corner of the hall on the first floor of the entire guild, a mysterious spectator covered by a hooded black robe obscured his body watched all this in a low-key silence.

The scene returns to the floor of the hallway near the front desk of the Guild Hall, and Dambert confirms that his eyes are not mistaken and pinchs his chin in contemplation for a moment, carefully examining the expression on Urs's face with two half-narrowed eyes.

Surrounded by human voices, he thought about it for about ten seconds, during which he glanced at the front desk of the hall not far away, and found that the lady in charge named Irina had disappeared at some point.

That half-elf little Nizi...... Could it be that she was scared away by such a formation?

The red-haired man rolled his eyes.

Then, looking back at Urs, he replied, "Not enough. ”

"Mr. Commander, insatiable greed will ruin your reputation."

"You don't have to worry about my reputation. To challenge me, you'll have to add a decent magic item. ”

"Look at this ring, then." Knowing that Dambert's greed had begun to be aroused by himself, Urs then motioned to the former and the members of the Red Scorpion Adventure Group in front of him to step aside for the time being.

Then, looking at the straight corridor leading to the door of the Guild building, he estimated the range of the trajectory, raised his left hand and whispered, "Cro-Atash"

Phewβ€”β€”!

In the next second, a strong wind pressure immediately whistled along the straight trajectory in front of the young man's eyes, and quickly and accurately stopped in the mid-air position in front of the main entrance of the association.

"Charging Ring!" Immediately, someone in the Red Scorpion Adventure Group pointed to the Impact Ring on the middle finger of his left hand and exclaimed.

"That's right, it's a charged ring that can unleash a destructive wind blast every day." The Ring of Aura Impacts was removed from his fingers, tossed into the air and caught it, and then placed it in the dimensional pouch in his other hand.

Seeing the magical energy that the Impact Ring had just released under the guidance of the young man, Dambert once again estimated the risks and benefits of the matter, and after a while, he finally walked back to the opposite side of the young man with a grin on his face, waving his hand to signal that his followers did not have to help him.

Moments later, the middle-aged man with short red hair untied the medium-sized steel shield on his shoulder and mounted it on his left hand, and his right hand pulled out a broad-bladed hybrid greatsword from the sheath at his waist.

The blade of the greatsword shimmered with a chilling glow, proving that it was also a magic weapon like the cursed blade behind the young man, but most of the enchantment effects attached to it were related to the water and ice of the elemental realm.
