Chapter 47: Gladiatorial Fights and Auctions
Cecil looked at Anne's worried look, and couldn't help but be moved, Anne should know that her strength is far beyond the level of knights of the same level, but seeing that she is still fighting with a worried expression, worried that she will be injured, this should be from the bottom of her heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, the little girl is really good to herself, and compared with Ophelina, Anne is even warmer to her heart.
"In the next game, the red team 9 Cecil, the blue team 9 Hagmi."
Cecil was thinking about his own thoughts when the hook-nosed steward suddenly called out his name. As soon as he came back to his senses, he realized that it was his turn.
Cecil stood in the crowd of knights and was reluctant to play, while in the blue team opposite, a level 55 earth knight quickly walked out. He was supposed to be the number 9 Hagmy on the blue team, and Hagmy slowly walked down the gladiatorial arena.
"RED Team 9, Cecil!"
Seeing that Cecil was still motionless in the crowd, the hook-nosed butler shouted again, but the urging and dissatisfaction in his tone were also revealed. This is the eyes of the audience focused on Cecil's face, Cecil blushed at this time, and really wanted to go up and punch this butler, but he still held back, and saw that the eyes of the audience were focused on himself. Cecil reluctantly made a knightly salute in the crowd and walked to the arena.
In the gladiatorial arena, the two sides saluted each other and began to fight, Hagmi was the Earth Knight, and Cecil's personal soldier Sanders was also the Earth Knight, both of them were ordinary Earth Temple professionals, and Sanders was also a level 60 Earth Knight. In terms of strength, it should be stronger than this Hagmy, Cecil came up and slashed at Hagmy with a sword with 30% of his strength, and when Hagmy blocked with his shield, it was as if he had received a heavy blow, and a huge damage figure came out of Hagmy's head.
Through this blow, Cecil knew Hagmy's strength, and did not rush to knock his opponent down, but attacked Hagmi with a lighter force, so that his shield could defend against Cecil's attack. The current battle did not require Cecil to give all his attention to the field, Cecil put part of his energy into the spectators on the field, and when Cecil saw Ophelina put a note in the dealer's red box in front of him, he knew that Ophelina had placed a bet on the match.
Cecil's swordsmanship changed, and he didn't even attack and started to defend, Hagmy didn't know why the other party suddenly showed weakness, but he didn't let go of this opportunity, and began to raise his gun to fight, the earth knight's weapon was heavy and heavy, plus the action was clumsy, it was not a big problem to dodge with Cecil's movement speed, but Cecil obviously didn't dodge, just kept raising his shield to meet the enemy, Cecil would take a step back every time he met a shield attack, and after a few rounds he was finally forced by Hagmy to the edge of the field.
At this time, Hagmi's gun stabbed again, Cecil still raised his shield to block, just when the gun stabbed on the shield, Cecil suddenly felt a huge force impacting himself to force himself out of the field, Cecil was furious, hurriedly used all his strength to stabilize his body, and then quickly moved to the right side of Hagmy, a sword slashed over, this sword Cecil used a strong force, Hagmy's shield just stalled on this sword, immediately this huge force flew up, and then flew 3 meters in the air and fell to the ground, Then there was a whoop and a mouthful of blood spat out of his body.
Cecil accidentally showed a little bit of his true strength, and the audience was shocked at once, and an ordinary blow from one person flew into the air with another earth knight of the same rank who successfully defended with a shield, which was simply incredible. His strength was at least 3 times that of the other party, and the audience was calculating what Cecil's ability was, and there was a lot of discussion under the seats for a while.
The hook-nosed butler obviously didn't expect such a situation on the field, and unexpectedly hurriedly commanded two people to come up and carry the person down. And Cecil on the field saw that he actually vomited blood, and he also felt that he was a little heavier, it turned out that he saw that Ophelina bet that he could win, in order to make Ophelina lose some money, Cecil had already made up his mind to lose the game, so he was pretended to play step by step, and then retreated to the edge of the field and was knocked out of bounds.
Who knew that when he was about to be knocked out, Cecil suddenly felt a huge impact of power in the final blow, which should be the Earth Knight's professional skill "Charge" is a charging battle array skill. It is obvious that the opponent wants to use this skill to knock himself out of the ring. In order to emphasize martial arts and avoid accidents, it is absolutely forbidden for both sides to use their skills.
The opponent's hidden foul behavior angered Cecil at once, his strength and endurance at this time were much higher than the opponent's, even this skill did not have enough power bonus to rush him out of bounds, so Cecil was angry and hit Cecil with a sword without controlling the power, and as a result, the opponent was seriously injured.
Cecil looked over to Ophelina, where she was jokingly mocking a young nobleman beside her, who looked like the Hagmi she had hit was the young nobleman's follower. Ophelina sat there smiling like a flower, but Cecil was very angry with her in his heart, he wanted to lose some money and make her lose some money, but he didn't expect to help her, maybe this is the will of freedom in the dark.
The next gladiatorial Cecil is more concerned, up to level 60, you can become a second-order profession in the temple, basically the same status as the Collins teacher at that time, to this level, everyone has more or less their own fighting experience or their own unique fighting opinions, the rules of this gladiatorial fight do not allow the use of skills, which makes the ingredients of fighting more pure, and makes people's martial arts more applied.
Cecil paid attention to the knights who were from the academy, some of them were experienced warriors, and some were a little immature but had their own style, and he did not pay attention to these gladiatorial fights at first, feeling that these knights were too different from his own attributes and had little value. But looking at Cecil but changed his opinion, everyone has their own advantages, many knights here are actually stronger than themselves if they have many combat skills alone, maybe one of the purposes of the nobles holding this kind of gladiatorial battle is to let those nobles be more advantageous to watch and collect various experiences to improve themselves, not just for fun?
Cecil kept watching the knights on the field fighting, and kept acquiring this knowledge from all directions, these knights talked about combat skills, in fact, none of them could compare to their teacher Collins, but each of them always had a little merit, and everyone absorbed a little advantage to accumulate a big gain, and Cecil, who realized this, even forgot his original intention of resisting this kind of competition, and watched the gladiatorial fight on the field with hunger.
In the end, as the battle between the two level 99 knights was decided, this carnival gladiatorial performance came to an end, and in addition to Hagmi, who was injured by Cecil, two other knights were injured by accident. The rest was not a problem, and the nobles present gave a warm applause, and each knight who participated in the gladiatorial fight received a grand prize of 1,000 gold coins.
Cecil thought that the gladiatorial fight was the last show of the day, but everyone was taken to the theater after coming out of the gladiatorial arena. Do you want to watch a play? Cecil was interested to see what was going on in the so-called theater, and perhaps even the legendary classical opera.
The theater was relatively empty, and the spacing between each seat was unexpectedly large, so that each attendant stood behind his or her own home. Cecil was really tired after standing all day today, thinking that this work was really boring, he couldn't eat, he couldn't drink water, and he even had to fight after sitting for a day, it seemed that the attendants who participated in this kind of banquet were really unlucky.
Cecil sat in front of Ophelina still in a noble and elegant posture, and the noble female companion next to him didn't know what to say, Cecil looked at the aristocratic man who was sitting with Ophelina in the gladiatorial arena just now, there was no knight standing behind him, Cecil thought to himself that he was really the master of Hagmi, just thinking, the noble man glanced over here, his eyes happened to meet Cecil, and the noble man's eyes showed a hint of resentment. Cecil couldn't help but feel a little worried, it seemed that he had inadvertently offended people again. But thinking that he didn't actually do anything wrong, if this noble lord couldn't think of making trouble for himself, it would be a helpless thing, so there was no need to worry too much.
At this moment, the hook-nosed butler appeared in front of the large stage of the theater again, bowed deeply to everyone, and said, "Distinguished guests, please wait, the auction will be held later. ”
Auctions? Cecil's eyes lit up, he had also participated in several auctions in the Lovaland continent before, but most of those auctions were held by players' guilds, and basically some equipment items were auctioned, and I don't know what NPC auctions will sell. Cecil still likes this kind of auction very much, even if he doesn't buy anything, it's also great to see the excitement.
Then a long table half a man high was brought up on the stage, and a gray-haired but energetic old man with a small golden hammer slowly walked up to the table, and then stood behind the table, and it was clear that he was the auctioneer of the auction.
"Archmage Vargas!" Someone in the audience screamed.
