The climate of the Lucia Mountains is cold, and the vast snowfields are like white deserts, and most of the creatures that can survive and thrive in this extremely harsh environment are highly aggressive, with poisonous insects and beasts emerging in an endless stream, and even dragons are rampant, but the presence of demons is very rare.

In the past century, there has been no demonic force in the Northland or even in the entire northern region, and even the demon priests of the War Fortress are mainly of devilish blood, which is not the same camp as the demons of the bottomless abyss, so most of the locals lack understanding of demons. Lyudmila and others, including Lyudmila and others, had never seen any kind of demon in their lives, and it was strange to hear the strange spelling of the name "Babu Demon".

As a mage, Nikita has more knowledge than her companions, but she has only seen a brief introduction to the Báb in the library on Beacon Hill.

"The Babu Demon is a low-level demon, similar in size to ordinary people, looking a little thin, but with a very cruel personality, but also very cunning, good at sneak attacks, it is said that it is transformed by the souls of those sinful killers, and can be called an assassin among demons." Nikita introduces her teammates to the Barb Demon according to the book records, and then asks Roland with little confidence, "Am I right?" ”

Roland nodded with a smile, affirming her statement.

Bloom held the wine bottle and thought: "It sounds like Ronnie's peers, this kind of sneaky guy will only be a shady person behind his back, and a head-on confrontation is a weak chicken, and sending me out can easily do it!" ”

"Who is sneaky? You're better off playing against demons and drinking than you. Veronica was unhappy that the dwarves had equated her with an ugly creature like the Babu Demon, "Let me say that since the demon is the Killer's Soul, I'm the best person to deal with him, after all, no one here knows the Assassin better than I do." ”

"The Assassin's specialty is to lurk in the shadows, and he is unprepared to sneak attack, there are no shadows to shelter in the ring, and there are no complex buildings, so there is not much room for the Babu Demon to use his strengths, so it is most suitable to choose the strongest person among us to deal with him." Nikita said slowly.

Lyudmila raised her eyebrows: "Needless to say, it must be me!" ”

"Under normal circumstances, Miss Mira's strength is indeed the strongest among us, but when it comes to berserk, I have the advantage." Vigraf objected. He is slightly less powerful than Lyudmila, and his increased strength after the rage can close the gap and surpass him.

Roland put down the roster in his hand and waved his hand at everyone: "Babu Demon is more difficult than you think, the results of the qualifiers are related to the time spent, if it is delayed for too long, even if you defeat Babu Demon, you may be eliminated, or I go to the safest." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was not able to fight anymore, after all, no one knew Babu Demon better than him, and he was not sure of rushing into the game, in case he was eliminated because of overtime, wouldn't it be very unjust? In order to ensure that the test is passed, it is the best choice for Roland, who has the greatest grasp.

At this time, thunderous applause rang out from outside the box, and Beowulf and Natasha appeared in the center of the arena, stopped to salute the audience, and walked hand in hand to the most prominent seats on the sidelines.

Next, a referee, Pastor Kord, introduced the rules of the game.

The tournament lasts for five days and consists of one qualifier round and four elimination rounds.

The tournament is played in a team format, with one team having to beat all members of the other team to win.

Teams can have no more than six members, and pets and regular mounts do not occupy a quota, but larger animal companions do need to occupy a quota.

All teams are not allowed to leave the city until they have completed the entire race to avoid accidents.

The Colosseum is equipped with a force field wall that separates the spectators from the arena, which cannot be destroyed by normal attacks, and this transparent wall does not interfere with the viewing of the game. The ground is also protected by a force field, so that it can't easily be blasted out of a crater by magic.

The flight altitude is limited to 30 feet.

Surrender is allowed in battle, and when surrendering it is necessary to lay down the weapon and hold your hands behind your head.

Attacking an opponent who surrenders will be disqualified immediately, and anyone who repents attacking the opponent after surrendering will also be disqualified.

Finally, the referee emphasized his authority: he could open the circle according to the situation on the field, and teleport those who surrendered, those who were banned, and those who were seriously injured and incapacitated out of the arena in time.

After talking about the rules of the competition, the next step is to announce the competition rewards in advance, which is the most exciting part of the entire opening ceremony for those adventurers who are eager to pan for gold in the tournament.

In previous tournaments, the rewards were simply based on rankings, but this year there has been a comprehensive overhaul that has been refreshing for all participants.

Roland listened to it and found that all the reward schemes proposed by him had been adopted, especially the change of cash rewards to "points" rewards, which faithfully reflected his intentions.

1 point can be exchanged for 1000 gold coins, which at first glance seems to be no different from direct discovery gold, but the main point is still to come: both sides can use points as chips to bet on the field, and you can also buy magic items in the equipment store and get a 10% discount.

This is Roland's intention, to induce the winner to take it all, and then go to consume, so that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Roland also noticed an interesting detail: he originally proposed "victory points" in the operation plan, with a slight modification in the official rules.

How is it retouched?

Changed "Victory Points" to "Kord Points".

To be honest, Roland doesn't like this kind of forcible title play, after all, he is a believer in Sindra, what does it mean to win "Kord points"?

Of course, he understood the reason for Beowulf and Natasha's revision, this festival was a competition, a stage for fame, and a good opportunity to make money, while the Kord believers represented by their couple paid more attention to the spiritual core of the tournament - a grand sacrifice to the god of competition, a magnificent hymn!

If they didn't have this mental motivation, why would Beowulf and Natasha tighten their belts and borrow money to hold this unprecedented event?

There has never been a purely sport-for-sport competition, and the elements of political and religious propaganda permeate many details of the tournament, not only the points, but also the prizes.

The winning team on the first day of qualifiers will win a bronze statue of Kord as a trophy worth 500 gold.

The team that advances to the quarterfinals on the second day will win a statue of Kord made of cold iron as a trophy, worth 1,000 gold.

The team that advances to the semi-finals on day 3 will win a silver-minted statue of Kord as a trophy worth 2,000 gold.

The team that advances to the semi-finals on Day 4 will win a gold statue of Kord as a trophy worth 5,000 gold coins.

The winning team on day 5 will win a platinum statue of Kord as a trophy worth 10,000 gold coins.

In order to control the competition schedule within 5 days, the threshold set by the qualifiers was raised accordingly, requiring the participating teams to send one person to fight against the monster decided by lottery.

Each team has only one chance to challenge, with a time limit of 5 minutes, and the first 4 teams in each group will qualify, and a total of 16 teams in the four groups will advance to the next round.

The 5-minute challenge time is really a bit tight, but considering that there are as many as 80 teams participating this year, there are not many ruthless characters who have the ability to solve the battle in 5 minutes, and from the perspective of serving the audience, the "appetizer" of the qualifiers should not be delayed for too long, otherwise it will inevitably kill the enthusiasm of the audience to look forward to the main competition.

The four groups of monsters that players will have to face are: the Human Lion, the Four-armed Orangutan, the Plateau Raptor Dragon, and the Babu Demon.

The overall challenge level of these four monsters is level 6, and in fact, they are not really equal in strength.

There are many factors that need to be taken into account to determine the challenge level, one of the most important of which is the environment.

For example, the four-armed orangutan is a magical beast that lives in the jungle and is good at climbing trees, jumping from high treetops to launch a surprise attack. However, when it comes to the arena where there are no trees to climb, it is difficult for it to give full play to its natural advantages, and its combat effectiveness is greatly limited. The raptor dragon is also in a similar way, and these two monsters are the easiest of the four groups to deal with.

The "Human Lion" is not as affected by the environment as the Raptor Dragon and the four-armed orangutan, and has spell-like abilities, more varied tactics, and is relatively more difficult to challenge.

Highland raptors, human lions, and four-armed orangutans are among the more common monsters in the Lucian Mountains, and adventurers often deal with them and have accumulated a wealth of hunting experience - even if they have not hunted themselves, it is not difficult to get detailed information from others.

Most of the participating teams know whether their luck is good or bad after the draw is over, and since the result of the draw cannot be changed, they can only use their brains to prepare the best challenge plan.

The Báb is different. Born from the abyss, the Tanari demon is very rare in the Far East, and very few of the contestants know its general characteristics like Nikita, and only a handful have seen the Báb demon in person. The teams that were drawn to Group 4 did not know how to start preparing for it, so they could only sigh that they were unlucky.

Roland knew a lot about the details of the Babu Demon and prepared targeted tactics, but he also wondered why he would use this rare local demon as the target of the qualifiers, and even more strange where did so many Babu Demon get it?

At first, he thought that the Priests of Kord had summoned them from the abyss using divine magic, but when he heard Tamara talk about it, he realized that the twenty bab demons were all gifts from the Twilight Foundation to Kitland.

Roland had heard of so-called "animal diplomacy". For example, it is not uncommon for a country to donate a national treasure to a neighbor to show friendship, and it is also common to give cats, dogs, and kangaroos, but it is a strange thing to give a demon as a diplomatic gift...... I'm afraid that only the clear-headed Miss Tamara can do it, and it will really be a long time to see! (To be continued.) )
