The entrance fee is 20 silver coins, 1 silver coin for each person knocked down, and 200 for all knockdowns. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info means that the dueling arena will get 400 credits, and only 220 credits will be spent in total, and they will net 180 credits anyway, which is a good calculation.

However, Beichuan only came to familiarize himself with the equipment, and he also got a lot of silver coins just now, the 30 silver coins rewarded by the mission, Phildo gave himself 50 silver coins, a total of 80, and it is still acceptable for him to take out 20 to adapt to the equipment.

And then there is the question for him, can the gauntlets be brought into the arena? The fighting glove is probably fine, but this gauntlet does belong to armor.

After thinking about it for a moment, Kitagawa began to ask the gray cloak.

"Can I use my own equipment in a duel like this?"

A sneer seemed to emerge from the shadows under the hood of the cloaked man.

"I'm afraid it won't work, it's forbidden to use sharp weapons here, after all, it's just for some civilian entertainment, it's not good to be too bloody."

"What if that's all there is to it?"

Kitagawa flashed his gauntlets.

"Huh? It's just an armour, and if you give up the chance to choose a weapon, that's fine. The cloaked man touched his chin and nodded.

It seems that this arena will allow newcomers to choose wooden weapons for competitive purposes, so what will it be? If you can see how to fight with various weapons, it will be very helpful to pay the mark.

"What are those weapons?"

The cloaked man smiled and explained, "Huh! That's a lot, shields, one-handed swords, two-handed broadswords, sticks, crossbows, bows and arrows, throwing spears, that's all, do you have any questions? ”

"No, I chose to give up the opportunity to choose a weapon with my gauntlets."

"Excellent! Please pay 20 silver coins, and I'll give you a certificate of appearance, and you can take it to the arena entrance and give it to the bearded Finn at Corridor 22. ”

Kitagawa pulled out 20 silver coins and exchanged them for a signed green letter.

He then said goodbye to the cloaked man and walked towards the corridor at the entrance to the arena.

The 24 corridors of the arena are arranged clockwise, so that from every angle here you can see a dark hole in the corridor, numbered 1 to 24 from 1 o'clock to 24 o'clock. Caves 5 to 24 are open, and the 20 openings are like the mouths of man-eating monsters, devouring the lives of groups of warriors. The entrance from No. 1 to No. 4 is sealed, and it is easy to find No. 22 Yongdao after turning around Beichuan less than half a circle around these four entrances, this Yongdao is nothing special compared to others, but the hustle and bustle faintly coming from the entrance forms a huge contrast with the quietness of other Yongdao.

Beichuan walked in, the road was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and only a pillar of light in front of him diffused to barely see the road under his feet.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that although these 24 passages all lead to the main arena of the arena, they have their own merits, and each corridor represents a competitive style, for example, No. 5 is good at long-range weapons, especially bows and arrows, and takes long-range killing routes. But No. 6 is a good sword and shield, that is, a shield + one-handed sword, and it takes the route of defense and counterattack...

However, with the exception of the first to fourth numbers, it is said that the semi-finals will only be played during the competitive tournament, and no one knows what kind of monsters are stationed there.

At the end of the No. 22 corridor, Beichuan saw dozens of black figures shaking, and from time to time there were a few curses, and the voice was rough and full of anger.

"It's all meow, stand in line for Lao Tzu, and you're going to appear soon."

"Angel, hand over your dagger! I can see it reflecting! Do you really want to kill? ”

"Which bastard stole Lao Tzu's trouser belt!"

...

All right! It seems that there is no need to look for it, I think this is the bearded Finn, right? Beichuan saw the bearded man shouting around in a conspicuous place, and his heart was clear.

Without hesitation, Beichuan directly took out the proof letter and said loudly to the bearded man in the crowd: "Hello, Finn! I'm new, am I going to give you the testimony? ”

Yes!

Beichuan spoke, and after everyone turned around, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and dozens of black shadows stared at the letter in Beichuan's hand, and then a fierce discussion broke out.

"Look! This guy is holding a green proof letter! ”

"If I'm not mistaken! He must have gotten it after refusing to play and use the weapon! That has the signature of the Ash Cloak on it, well! Very arrogant young man. ”

"Angel wants to join forces or not, you play with him first, and then I will find a chance to be him!" A lewd-looking boy with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek said to another teenager with a strip of cloth wrapped around his head.

"Humph! Last time you said that the result of joining forces? You hit me in the back, and my head still hurts! The cloth-striped boy pouted dissatisfiedly.

...

"Don't even scream, then show me your letter!" The bearded man's rugged voice rang out, and the crowd fell silent.

Beichuan walked over and handed him the letter of proof in his hand, and the bearded man handed the letter back after carefully looking at the signature of the seal, and said indignantly: "Gray Cloak, these bastards! Is this a smashing of your own field? Or let this kid go in and die? ”

After the bearded man finished scolding, he slowed down, and then said to Beichuan with a serious face:

"Imp! Listen to my uncle's advice and go back early! The danger of this place is not what you can imagine now, and although it is a wooden weapon on the surface, there are still people who can use this thing to exert the power of the real thing. Disability is a trivial matter, you are still young, don't throw your life here. ”

Beichuan came to test the equipment, and he couldn't listen to this kind of almost verbose persuasion at all. However, just as the bearded Finn was persuading Beichuan, a yin and yang voice suddenly interjected.

"Aha! Lord Finn has started pretending to be the Virgin again, does it work? Little brother's own choice, but you want to intervene, are you really nosy? ”

At first glance, Kitagawa was a slender man, this guy had long blond hair that stood out even in the dark corridors, and with his unusual pale complexion, he looked like a vampire who had been obsessed with darkness and blood for many years. The reason why he is said to be slender is because there is really no taller and slender person than him in this group of five big and three thick Nord strong men.

The bearded Finn heard that familiar voice,

My heart jumped and I knew that I might not be good today,

This guy is the manager of Yongdao 23 (here is the 22nd), although the proximity does not mean that the two neighbors are harmonious. The fighting style of No. 23 Yongdao tends to be secretive, weird, and sneak attack, while No. 22 advocates violence, just head-on, and breakthrough, which seem to be born to rush, coupled with the conflict of personality of the two managers, so No. 22 Yongdao and No. 23 Yongdao almost always fight first as soon as they enter, and then one side lies out, which has almost become a convention.

Of course, in the other 18 corridors that are usually opened, there are many people who are not used to fighting each other, and the high-level of the arena seems to be happy to do so, after all, the arena must have blood, passion, and competition.

Finn glanced at the slender figure and said in a heavy tone, "Ah Hao, this is a fight between us, please don't involve others, okay?" ”

The two exchanged a few words.

"Hey! The choice is yours, boy, but remember! You're a Nord! The slender figure left a meaningful word, laughing and leaving.

"This damn guy!"

Finn scolded secretly, turned his head to look at Beichuan's green face and sighed, "Hey! See the boy with the strip of cloth tied around his head? His name is Angel, and he was originally a blacksmith apprentice, but he walked here out of curiosity, and was provoked by Ah Hao to sign a 'gladiator' contract with the arena. It's been three years, he's been playing here for three whole years! For the past three years, I have been struggling every day in this hell of this world, and I don't know how long he can fight..."

Hearing the bearded uncle say this, the people around him more or less lowered their heads, and they had more or less similar experiences. Forced by money or situation, they are kept in captivity like monkeys fighting each other for people to watch.

"I'm just here to fight, and I'm leaving! It's not that serious. Uncle Finn, you can't break the rules and not accept my letter, can you? I paid for it. What's more! I'm not a weak chicken without a hand, and I'll make everyone who wants to take me down remember my fists! Kitagawa raised his armour.

"Hey! I really can't stop you—" The bearded man looked down, and he seemed to see another victim who had been tempted by money to lose his mind.

"I'm a Nord! I'll keep fighting! Until you knock everyone here down! Kitagawa suddenly felt that his pride as a traverser exploded.

I'll keep fighting!

In the dark, the cloth-striped young man heard Beichuan's passionate and arrogant declaration, and the battle intent in his eyes gradually began to burn, and he suddenly spoke.

"Please don't say that! Uncle Finn! I'll keep fighting! Someday I'll beat everyone here! Fight this arena! ”

"Angel! Are you still fantasizing about breaking that legend? That's just a gimmick on the Arena side, no one can beat everyone and walk out! Someone said this in a depressed, desperate tone, but he did not stop the boy from continuing.

"Nope! I'm sure there are people who have gone out like this! The boy repeated what he had just said, but no one cared.

Finn looked around, looked at the people with different expressions, and then returned to Beichuan: "Look! This is it, Rugertown Arena! A desperate land full of endless battles, tell you the truth! The situation in the other corridors is much worse than here, and almost all of them are outlaws. I don't have the power to stop you, I just want you to understand what kind of enemy you're going to face, and then, even then, do you want to join in? ”

Kitagawa smiled and handed the green letter to Finn: "Of course! ”

Finn's eyes froze

"Welcome to Corridor 22! I'm the manager here, Finn! You can also call me bearded. Newcomer! Put your name on it! ”

"Kitagawa."

"Excellent! Temporary member Kitagawa, the rules here are like this, there will be ten members of the Yongdao in each round, two people each, but there is only one winner, so you are both allies and enemies, remember! Losing combat effectiveness is defeat! I'll arrange for a companion to play with you in a moment, do you need a glass of rum? ”

Finn took out an old metal flask from his bosom and handed it to Beichuan with a solemn expression, like a veteran seeing off his comrades.

The other side

23 Yongdao Road,

It's almost the same layout as the No. 22 corridor, but it's not as noisy as No. 22, and it's surprisingly quiet...

A flirtatious voice broke the silence

"Hey! Guess what I saw today, little ones? ”

No one answered.

There seemed to be nothing in the darkness, and the air was filled with a truly disgusting rancid smell, and the whole corridor seemed so quiet that you could hear a needle falling to the ground.

"Isn't that good! Little ones, you have made great progress today! But little Leeds, I hear you breathing! ”

The black shadow flickered, and then a slender figure slipped away, and this thin black shadow appeared under the only light source in the corridor,

If you look closely, the slender figure is the No. 23 manager, Ah Hao, and the one he is holding in his hand is a dirty girl. At this time, the girl was struggling hard, trying to break free of Hao's hand that was grabbing her ear.

"Yo, I said Liz, if you don't pay attention to hiding yourself like this, you'll easily die later! ~This time, I'll give you a little punishment! "Say it, the cold light flashed in Ah Hao's hand, and the blood light burst from the base of the girl's ears. As the ears were cut off, the girl's body also fell to the ground, and the strange thing was that the girl did not say a word even if her ears were cut off, but quickly disappeared into the darkness at an extremely strange speed.

"Not bad! Little Leeds! I can't hear your breath this time, but I can smell your blood ————! ”

Swish!

The black shadow flashed, and the emaciated figure reappeared, and he still carried the familiar black shadow in his hand...

"Na! How about cutting off another one this time? Little Leeds? ”

This time the girl was not struggling, she just looked at the emaciated man calmly.

A flash of disappointment flashed across Hao's face when he saw the calm in the girl's eyes, and he let go of his hand and let the girl fall to the ground again.

"Alright! Little Leeds, you've passed this time! The gauze to stop the bleeding is under the third brick in the left-hand direction under your feet. Hurry up, you've only got 5 minutes, because I'm going to send you on the pitch. ”

The girl quickly disappeared into the darkness when she heard this...
