13 Conclaves
8 p.m., [Colorful Reef Tavern]
"Hello Miss Ariel~ Do you have a reservation?" The young lady at the tavern bar smiled.
Ariel moved his sunglasses down to reveal half of his eyes and looked at her: "Yo, Xiaohua, you're on duty today~"
"Yes~"
"Go open a VIP room and treat my little sister well~" She patted the young girl in her arms.
"Yo! Who is this? Xiaohua asked in surprise.
"Sophia. We met yesterday at the arena~" Ariel replied.
"Okay, please register here, I'll take care of the formalities for you now." Xiaohua took out the registration board and handed it to her.
Sophia kept her head down, seeming a little shy. After all, it was the first time for me to enter this kind of place, and if it weren't for the favor I owed to Ariel in the arena yesterday, I am afraid that I would never take the initiative to enter this kind of place in my life.
Under the leadership of Xiaohua, Sophia came to a warm room, which had a lot of space and all kinds of equipment for dining, entertainment, and massage.
"Miss Sophia, what do you need to drink?" Xiaohua sat beside her with a smile.
"Fruit... Juice will do~" She whispered in response.
Looking around the room, whether it is furniture or various leisure and entertainment facilities, they are all high-end brands that I have never seen before, the surface of the furniture is delicately carved, the huge ceiling lamp inlaid with colorful jewels, and the floor and table top are spotlessly clean......
These are things that I have never been exposed to in the guild orphanage!
The 19-year-old has been living in an orphanage in the second district for as long as she can remember, eating a fixed portion of food every day and receiving a pitiful monthly living allowance.
The orphanage has a rule: they are only responsible for raising the children until they are 18 years old, and when they reach adulthood, they must officially join the 'Killer Whales' and become a member of the guild warriors.
She has been a member of the guild for a year, and after undergoing rigorous training in magical skills, she has become an excellent 'Burst Mage', and her ability is to have super explosive burst magic.
With unremitting hard work and hard work, this young girl was soon given permission to enter the arena!
(It's not so much a license as a matter of obedience to the guild's arrangement.) )
The 'Killer Whales' guild has the right to allocate the quota of participants in the arena in District 2, and they will arrange a list of fighters to enter the arena the next week a week in advance, and Sophia is one of them.
Yesterday was also her first time in the arena to compete.
I had only learned the rules of the arena from books and memorized them, but when I actually walked into this platform full of violence and killing, I found that the clichés I had learned in books were just useless words!
After all, only the strong man who really has the strength is the king here!
To be honest, Sophia didn't want to participate in the arena because as long as she stepped into that arena, she would become a murderer of strangers! Even though it is permissible to kill people here, she yearns for peace and does not want to do so.
But when she told her instructor what she really thought, he just glared at her coldly and left a sentence:
"The guild raised you, not for you to cry in the future and stick your neck under the enemy's butcher's knife, shouting long live peace, while your head falls to the ground and becomes a fish ball in other people's mouths!"
Even so, Sophia, who stepped into the battlefield, still prayed for peace, and she even naively hoped that the fighters in the arena would sit in place very tacitly until the end of the game ten minutes later, when everyone was safe and returned to their own areas!
But fantasy is fantasy, the huge temptation brought by the 20 fish balls placed on the stone pillar in the center of the battle platform will still make many people greedy, and even sacrifice the lives of others in exchange! No matter who fires the first shot in the battlefield, the battle will be on the verge of breaking out!
It is impossible to change reality on her own, and she knows this very well!
Therefore, she still chose to fight!
Even just a few powerful bursts of magic can deter enemies without killing others.
However, she was 'lucky' to meet Ariel, a strange girl known to the world as 'Blood Roland'.
Although the two of them live in different areas, the name of Ariel, the president of the 'Hermit Crab Guild', has long been resounding throughout the concentration camp!
A tough woman who was originally only a rumor appeared in front of her, and she is using her body to block the enemy's attacks for herself!
At that moment, Sophia's heart was pounding.
Looking at the tall and majestic figure of Ariel standing in front of him, both men and women will be thrilled at this time, right?
……
"Excuse me, Miss Ariel, where has she been?" Sophia looked up and asked Xiaohua, who was serving beside her.
"Miss Ariel asked me to leave you a message saying that she has something to do and will come back to pick you up in an hour~" Xiaohua replied softly.
"Well... Okay~" Sophia nodded.
For the first time in her life, she was in such a luxurious place, and everything seemed so foreign that she didn't even know what she was going to do next.
"You look a little nervous~" Xiaohua said, taking a delicate glass and filling her with juice.
"Before Miss Ariel returns, let me serve Miss Sophia~" Xiaohua smiled and sat down beside her.
……
At the same time, in front of the door of box A391.
Ariel stood in the doorway, looked around, and when he was sure no one was noticing, reached out and touched the mural next to the doorframe.
The house number at the top of the door frame changed instantly, from A391 to [Coral One]
After entering the door, the house number changes back to its original appearance again.
In the room, two figures were already waiting for him at the large round table.
One is Roclay, the leader of the notorious bandit guild 'Breakaways' in District 3.
One is the octopus monster Cree with half a tentacle sticking out of the top of his head.
"Why are you two minutes late?" Roclay propped his chin in his hands, his eyes fixed on her.
"I'm sorry to open a room for my little playmate~" Ariel stuck out his tongue and laughed mischievously.
'Bang! With a bang, Roquere slapped his palm on the table, and the water cup next to him was shaken, and the tea flowed to the ground.
He stared at Ariel without saying a word, a rather serious expression on his face.
"Silly girl, how many times has Roclay stressed it to you? Don't always be late at times like this...", Kree, who was sitting on the sidelines, hurriedly said in a round.
"Yes... I'm sorry..."Ariel lowered his head and sat down obediently, his hands clasped tightly on his knees, not daring to look up at him.
"Repeatedly!"
