Chapter 45: The Winner Wins Glory, and the Loser Returns to Hades!
Kyle began to draw on the straw paper with charcoal, and he drew quicklyββββ he had done it seven or eight times last night, and he had to look a little bit anyway.
Soon, he drew a knife with a straight and narrow blade, nearly a meter long, but in the eyes of the Tyguras, this weapon was also a type of sword, and there were only two types of knives here: scimitar and dagger, so this horizontal knife was considered a sword.
Yes!
It's a horizontal knife.
As a kind of regulation in the Tang knife, the Tang knife in the modern general sense refers to it.
Kyle was very fond of this look in his previous life.
You can hold the knife with both hands and with one hand. Kyle also deliberately sharpened the tip of the knife, and the back of the knife at the tip of the knife was also changed to a seven or eight centimeter long blade, so that the piercing performance of the knife could be greatly enhancedββββ and the blade mixed with a large amount of pure gold was tough enough to withstand such a shape.
in the materials from which it is made.
Pure gold and Aoneng steel weigh half a ton together.
With such a large mass, coupled with Kyle's 'Void Power' support, this knife is very fast to swing and can have high kinetic energy (the Void Force only makes the gravity smaller, and the mass has not changed), and the physical attack power is very powerful.
Dougan took the blueprint that Kyle handed over, looked at it and said:
"Everything else is fine, but ......... Don't you think this sword is too short? It should be at least two feet longer (up to one and a half meters in length), otherwise how will you fight against those huge enemies? β
"After lengthening, the knife ... Does the strength of the sword change? β
The lengthening of the blade doesn't have much effect on Kyle, with the help of 'too weak power', his arm can swing multiple pieces, and the frequency of the knife's attack is as high. And the longer the blade, the faster the speed at the tip of the blade when swinging, and the stronger the power it will exer.
"What impact can it have, Kyle boy, this sword is a weapon with more than half of the pure gold content, and it's not made of steel!"
Kyle thought about it, of course, just pretending.
"Alright, master, please, I don't know when I can get the sword."
"Don't worry, soon, wait a week, I can build your sword, it won't take long, okay, you guys, leave now, I'm going to hurry."
"Ford, you tell Reutt that this year's equipment won't be missing his ......... You can come over with Kyle Kid in a week to get a sword, and little Evans, you're not as cute as you were when you were a kid. β
"Don't use that word, old man, I'm not a pet!"
Dougan glanced at Ford.
"That's why I said he wasn't as cute as he was when he was a kid."
Ford smiled helplessly, covered Evans' mouth, pulled him and Kyle to say goodbye to Dogan, and turned to leave.
It wasn't until the Thunder Flame came out that Ford let go of Evans' mouth.
This made Evans very dissatisfied: "Grandpa Ford, why do you have to be so patient with that dwarf, even the Elder Dansa Viendulio has not been so rude to me, although he is the best craftsman in this city, I don't believe that there is no better one in the Empire." β
"Young Master Evans, there really is no better craftsman in the empire than Dogen, and the other dwarven craftsmen are not inferior to Dogen, but no one dares to say who can surpass them, and the relationship between them is good, and if you offend Dogen, you will offend everyone."
"Is that all?"
Ford said helplessly: "Actually, Master Evans, Dougan is dissatisfied with your mother............ Although the gnolls are large in number and fierce and cunning, without the intervention of the demon lord avatar, if there are dragons in the battle, they will not be able to threaten any village at all, and they will not be a real threat. β
Ford sighed and continued.
"But Mistress Kudelia hasn't been seen in public for three years, and the dwarves will pay the price for not fighting this year......... We owe the dwarf no standing to hold him accountable for his rudeness. β
Hearing this, Evans lowered his head.
The three of them were followed by dozens of knights, and they returned to the castle without saying a word.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Afternoon......
Today is a 10-day Sunday.
On this day, people perform formal prayer worship services for the deities they worship.
The main beliefs of the Platinum Empire are Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Cassano, the god of war, while the metal dragons, who are the ruling class, and a large number of dragonborn, worship the platinum dragon king as the origin ancestor.
As for who the Dragon King believes? Then no one knows.
Other widely recognized true gods, such as Hades Hades (you read that right, that's the name), the Elemental King, and the moon god Nora, have relatively few followers in the empire, while Terra, despite being the supreme existence of the entire Taiyang system, is the only god in the Golden Elf Kingdom.
As the state religion of a hostile state, Terra is recognized in the Empire.
But they are not allowed to be proselytized.
After all, apart from Gaia, the demigods are the true masters of this world.
And the evil ones who believe in Cerindra, the Abyss King, and the Abyss Lord find one, and kill one.
On this day.
The rituals performed by the people who believed in Gaia were simple. There are no shrines, statues, not even clergy, just kneel and pray for a crystal chakra today, but you need to touch the earth with bare feet to count.
And the devotees of Cassano can go to the shrine for prayer ceremonies.
The shrines of the Gi exist in all races and nations, and due to the wide influence of the Gi, many races have a tradition of gladiatorial competition today, and the dominant race and regime of the Tygulas, only the Republic of Norin, ruled by the Moon Elves, does not have this tradition.
Meantime!
This day is also the day when the shadow of the Dark Moon shines brightest, and even during the day, the outline of the Dark Moon is clearly visible.
In the legend of the Giants.
Souls who have died, but are still wandering on the earth, will go to the underworld today, and under the light of Hades, Hades, the person who has failed and died today will not be able to turn into a wraith and curse his opponents.
You can only enter the eternal sleep in the underworld, waiting for the opening of the next reincarnation.
The Hippodrome at Sharpsburg is twenty meters high, oval-shaped, and capable of holding more than 10,000 people, similar to the appearance of the Roman Colosseum.
The two ends of the longer one were carved with huge dragon-shaped statues, the dragon's tail hung down to the ground on both sides of the arena, forty meters tall from tail to head, on one side was a five-headed dragon, and on the other side was a metal dragon with a crown-like protrusion on its head, it was obvious that it was the platinum dragon king and the five-colored dragon queen, they opened their mouths at each other and roared, and their bodies seemed to pounce at each other.
Such majestic statues can only be carved with magic.
Because of Reut's trials, Kyle will also face twenty gnolls here today as a gladiator, please the god of war and the audience, and win his first honor in life.
Although he doesn't care about this at all!
Kyle's prep area is underneath the Platinum Dragon King statue, while the building under the Dragon Queen statue on the opposite side is full of monster cages.
Reuth and Evans sit on the highest point under the statue of the Dragon King, a status symbol, as the cheapest seats are under the statue of the Dragon Queenββββ which is also the most dangerous in case of a monster riot.
And Ford didn't follow.
Due to Kudelia's pregnancy, she is now at her most vulnerable stage, vulnerable to attacks by the Throne of Bones, the Blood Dragon Society, and other organizations. Kyle reckoned that one of Ford and Reut must be watching from inside the castle, guarding Cudelia.
Judging from their performance in recent years, this is indeed the case.
Kyle checked the equipment on his body, there was nothing special, it was leather armor, leather boots, leather helmet and leather gauntlets, and a knight-standard steel longsword, if there was anything special, it was that the armor was made of gnoll skin.
This made Kyle a little nervous.
However, it is very hateful to the jackals, who have an extremely keen sense of smell, and can prevent them from passively avoiding the battle and affecting the visual experience of the audience.
See nothing wrong later.
Kyle asked a fat man next to him:
"Mr. Garth, when will it start, and I'll be the first to play."
This fat man is the administrator hereββββ arenas are all places under the official jurisdiction of the Empire.
"Lord Kyle, when Taeyang and Dark Moon are above the heads of the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen respectively, it is estimated that it will begin, as for you, it is the third to play, and the first two are the disputes of adventurers, who came here to solve the problem with swords and magic under the gaze of the God of War, and will not be held accountable after that. Do you need to watch these two matches? β
"Thank you very much."
Kyle didn't want to wait in the prep area either.
- It's boring!
"You're welcome, please come with me."
He led Kyle to a room on the third floor, presumably his own. "You can watch it here, but as soon as the second one is over, you'll need to get to the starting point quickly."
"No problem!"
"Then please take care of yourself."
The fat man didn't stay here long, the gladiatorial fight would start soon, and he still had a lot to deal with.
Without making Keldo wait, a moment before the time the fat Garth had said, a tall, bald samurai with tendons, a red cloak, and golden half-length armor appeared.
He stepped on a floating metal disc and came to the center of the arena, at the same height as Reut and Evans.
Seeing the golden-red holy power that was swollen all over this samurai's body, Kyle understood. This is a Templar...... It should be a Templar Master, a super-level powerhouse at the same level as the Great Knight and the Sword Master.
Kyle hadn't met him, though.
I guess I used to meditate in the temple of Fort Sharps, or I came here recently.
Moreover, he is also the host today.
I don't know if it's magic or holy power, but Kyle guesses it's the latter, as the Templar is famous for their battle songs and criesββββ and the class's transcendent nature and epic power are all related to 'roars'.
His voice resounded throughout the arena.
"Citizens of Sharpsburg, I am Templar Maynes, the presiding officer of today's game. The light of the sun has not yet fallen, it is still the time of the living, but the light of the dark moon has begun to flourish, and the eyes of the king of Hades are watching here, and under the witness of our lord Cassano, the victor will win glory, and the loser will return to Hades!! β
