Volume 2 The Puppet Chapter 29 The Arena and the Principal
Chapter 29 The Arena and the Leader
Sohia and the others soon came to Lore, and Rick and Ellie both showed shy expressions, but in front of two different people.
Lore looked at the people who suddenly appeared strangely: "Why are you here?"
Sohya said angrily, "Are you embarrassed to ask me? Didn't you say you were going to duel with me today?"
Lore said: "Yes, I haven't forgotten, I don't need you to remind me! So I didn't come early in the morning!"
Sohya said, "Then why don't you wait for me to come along?"
Lore asked rhetorically, "Why did I come with you? Are we familiar with each other? Also, I came in advance to see if you had set a trap for us in advance!"
"I'm going to trick you? hehe! What a joke!" Sohia laughed angrily, "Besides, if you're here to step on something, shouldn't you be in the arena right now?"
Luoer's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and he said with a slight emptiness: "I can't just go shopping!
Rick glanced up at the sign that read "Adventurer Certification Office" not far behind the people, and said suspiciously, "You guys shouldn't be here to register adventurers, right?"
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Lore simply stiffened his neck and said, "So what?"
Rick's eyes lit up: "Seems to be quite interesting! Let's go sign up!"
Myron sighed, and had to intervene to stop him: "Miss, Lan Ze does not allow students in school to register as adventurers!"
Rick frowned and said, "So what? Miss Ben is not from Arashizawa!"
Vickers advised, "Then it's even more unnecessary, miss. Besides, with your noble status, registering as an adventurer is really detrimental to your noble image. ”
Rick wondered, "Really?"
Vickers said solemnly: "Really!"
Rick frowned, "Forget it, barbarians, and this, Sohia, right? When will your duel begin?"
Lore also looked at Sohia strangely: "Yes, how is the duel going on?"
Soxia was a little disgusted by Rick's commanding attitude, but replied, "Come with me!
Sohya walked towards the arena area of the guild with a few people, and explained: "I have already said hello to the person in charge in advance, and I will arrange a temporary one for us today! By the way, I forgot to tell you, the person in charge of the arena is a relative of mine, but you don't have to worry about her favoring me, she is not that kind of person, you can rest assured of this! But for the sake of fairness, you can choose the terrain of the arena later!"
Aitch was curious, "Arena terrain?"
Without waiting for Soxia to speak, Nolans suddenly interjected, "I know this question. Yes, the Adventure Guild is for adventurers, which is completely different from the arena of our Academy. ”
Lore wondered, "What's the difference?"
Nolans said: "To put it bluntly, the arena of our academy is a large open space, two people fight face to face, and no one can avoid the other! But the arena of this adventure guild is different! It is made of a super large compound magic array, and the terrain inside can be freely changed and combined, deserts, grasslands, forests, cities, and even the deep sea can be created, of course, the area is definitely not that large!"
Nolans was fine with his explanation, but Lore and Rick frowned at the same time.
Rick said, "Isn't it an illusion again?"
Nolans was stunned: "I don't know about this." ”
"It's not a fantasy. Kylo suddenly said, "This is real shaping magic, there are all kinds of materials in the venue, and they can be shaped according to the scene that people have designed in advance, and basically everything can be designed except for creatures." ”
At some point, Ellie, who had been walking side by side with Kylo, looked at Kylo with admiration and exclaimed, "There is still such an arena?
Lore glanced at Ellie with some displeasure, and said to Kylo, "This magic arena is so powerful, why don't we use it?
"Because it's not cost-effective. Kai Luo said, "If you want to build a venue like this, you need a lot of space, otherwise it won't work at all, this alone is unrealistic, unless the academy leaders have hot brains and are willing to merge another space magic array into such an arena at any cost, otherwise, it will not make sense at all!"
"And what this kind of magic array is only a fake with its own shape, even if the terrain of the Falling Dream Forest is copied, what can it do? The truly dangerous magic beasts cannot be made! At best, they are just a tool used to make money! There is no need to do this in the academy, it is better to practice it realistically!"
Sohya glanced at Kylo with some surprise: "You know a lot! This kind of arena can really play a limited role for experienced adventurers, but for novices, it can help them adapt to the adventurous environment as soon as possible, and for those ignorant nobles, it is also a little more fun, which can make them pay more easily!"
Leah suddenly asked curiously, "Then if you add such an arena and an illusion together, won't you be able to solve the problem of Warcraft?"
Kylo smiled and said, "How can it be so easy! Not only is it more expensive to do this, but it also has to take into account the problem of fusion between different magic arrays, which is more troublesome than a simple illusion! More importantly, do you think that illusion you encountered is really that simple?
Leah let out a thoughtful "oh", not knowing how much she understood.
Kylo shook his head and asked Sohia again, "The identities of the people involved in the duel should be kept secret, right?"
Sohya nodded, "That's right. Both sides of the duel wear special masks and uniform costumes, only in different colors, in order to better distinguish bets from spectators in the stands. ”
"Can you gamble here?" asked Nolans, intrigued.
"Absolutely, it's also fun for rich people. Also, those who participate in the duel will also be paid regardless of whether they win or lose. But it doesn't matter, we're just borrowing the venue and giving the arena manager some more income by the way. ”
"I don't care about the remuneration or anything like that!, we're not short of money!" Lore showed the face of a wealthy nouveau riche, "I'm more interested in this arena now!"
"Lor, wait a minute!" Kylo suddenly called out to Lorre.
Lore was curious: "What's wrong?"
Kylo pointed to the other corner and said, "Come here!"
Lore didn't know why, but he followed honestly.
Aitch and Ellie frowned almost at the same time.
Sohia laughed, "Looks like this Kylo is going to teach her some experience in advance!
After only a few moments, Lore and the others returned, but the expression on Lore's face seemed strange.
Sohya said, "Ready?"
Lore nodded slightly.
"Let's go!"
Soon, under the guidance of Soxia, several people were quickly taken to the head of the arena.
However, what no one expected was that this person in charge would be a woman, and a woman who looked very wild.
When Soxia and her party arrived, the woman was leaning back in a chair behind her desk and smoking, her two slender jade legs resting casually on the table.
"Auntie, we're here. Sohia's tone was very respectful, and it was completely a gesture of greeting the eldest sister.
However, none of the Lore people felt that Soxia's attitude was problematic at this time, because this woman really looked like a big sister.
Dressed in a black dress, with flaming red lips, her face was pale, and on her hair was a lifelike purple phoenix hairpin, the most conspicuous thing was the narrow scar on the left side of her face from the tip of her eyebrows to the corners of her lips, which looked so hideous and terrifying, but her smoking action had a strange sense of elegance.
Seeing this woman full of aura, Lore and Like suddenly felt a little weaker, and Leah's eyes revealed a faint panic.
"Sit casually. The woman casually pointed to the seats in the room with her cigarette, and then asked, "Sohia, which one is your dueling partner today?"
Sohia turned her head to look at Lore, who replied consciously, "It's me." Hello, I'm Loreland. ”
"Lance?" the woman raised her eyebrows slightly, "Lance's daughter?"
The woman picked up the cigarette in her hand, took a puff gently, and then closed her eyes as if to taste it for a while before slowly exhaling the smoke.
"I'm Jennifer Ranka. ”
The woman's voice is very good, and the slightly drunk smoke voice looks very magnetic.
Again, Lore said politely, "Hello Miss Jennifer, thank you very much for providing us with an arena this time. ”
"The venue is simple, it's just a matter of getting started. But—" Jennifer flicked the ash from her hand, "haven't you heard my name?"
Lore was a little strange, but still replied honestly: "I really haven't heard of this." ”
Jennifer smiled: "That guy Lance, he didn't even dare to mention my name!hehe!"
Lore was curious, "Do you know my father?"
Jennifer laughed, "It's an old friend!
Jennifer was obviously smiling, but there seemed to be a strange feeling in her eyes: "It's all in the past, there's nothing to mention!"
Lore couldn't help but become more and more curious about this woman, and made up her mind to ask her father for clarification next time!
Jennifer had already shifted the topic to this matter: "I have already arranged your duel, but it's still early, there are still a few games ahead, you can go and see it first, Soxia is already quite familiar with this kind of game, you shouldn't have any experience yet, it's better to get familiar with it first! Soxia, you take them there!"
Soxia nodded in response, and then left with a few people, hurried over, hurried away, a few words, but the woman smoking a cigarette left a deep impression on several people.
