Section 186 Sufficient x grounds for x
The fighting venue was to the north of the castle, and it was originally a jousting ground for noble knights.
The site is huge. It is now divided into six blocks, each about 800 square meters. Black lines are drawn on the edges, and a simple division is made with a rope. There are at least a few thousand people seated in the auditorium.
Now, one of them, covered with a faint gray light, had two men fighting inside. Nearby, a small number of soldiers, servants, and cooks sat in the stands, cheering for the two men in the field, who sometimes shot at each other from a distance, and sometimes fought in close quarters with their knives drawn.
Several men in gray robes stood aside, watching the battle on the field. Humphrey and Boreh stood beside them, taking notes on something from time to time.
After a while, Beau called a stop. "Is the time up, is the score out?"
"It's out." A man in a gray robe said, and the gray light mask on the field disappeared. The two men who fought were teleported. "It was Mr. Jepp who won, 180 points. Mr. Dong Zheng is 124 points. β
"Front-line combatants, the score should be about ten times that of them." Humphrey groaned. "Hmm, is the teleportation function turned on in case of serious injury?"
"It's on." The gray-robed man said. "Need to be tested?"
"No, not yet." Humphrey said. "The test is too expensive, so we won't be able to do it."
The gray-robed man nodded. "Then, the venue is ready for use, please pay for it as soon as possible."
"Okay, we'll do it." Humphrey sighed. "That's a lot of money...."
"Is that really good?" After the gray-robed man left, Bole leaned over to Humphrey's side and whispered. "Teleporting in a near-death situation is the greatest guarantee of safety, and we don't test it..."
"It's okay." Humphrey said. "They should be able to protect themselves, and many of them will surely like a little surprise and excitement."
Bore's mouth opened wide. "Even if you say so..."
"I'll admit the problem then." Humphrey said. "Because the staff in the arena were asking for too much, we had to save on some parts for the sake of the team's profits... So be it. β
"I... All right. Remember, I advised you, Mr. Humphrey. β
"Of course, I'll remember to thank you." Humphrey smiled and said.
They walked towards the exit. Behind them, two men from Kanna and Sibia's team stepped onto the arena and began the fight.
In the corner high up, the hooded Saktas said to Rhea, who was wearing a Saints team coat and also wearing a hood. "It's a sure thing. Jacob and Kendeillo were willing to attend; Alan and Arnold agreed. β
"They all made conditions." Rhea said.
"And he agreed." Saktas said. "First show your strength, then make some compromises, and they will all agree."
"Can you also make some conditions?" Rhea asked.
"If only it had been faster." Saktas said. "Maybe it's possible. This kind of thing, the more you go to the back, the more weightless it becomes. What conditions do you need from me? β
"Two." Rhea said. "The winner is entitled to choose any piece of equipment from the loser; The top three finishers are eligible to challenge anyone on the field, and the opponent may not refuse. β
"It's... He may not say yes. Sachtas said. The purpose is so obvious that it is equivalent to directly saying: I want to challenge you, and I want your equipment. Let's take a detour. Aren't you trying to win over the Two-Headed Vulture? It's up to me to make one condition: the winner is entitled to choose any piece of equipment from the loser. β
Then the Phuket captain mentioned the latter clause: the top three are eligible to issue a challenge. In this way, they may ignore the risks and agree. β
Rhea thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, that's it."
----
"They've all said yes. Damn it! What's going on? What kind of fighting tournament do you ignore hunting? β
In the crystal ball, Vidlov complained to Pudge. Mei Qiuli saw it and felt a little funny.
"It's not a bad thing." Next to him, an old man with an old face and a sad face said. "In this way, without the hindrance of those people in the council, we should be able to get the first place."
"That's just as well." Widlov said, looking at Phuket. "Even if it is a spirit, what does it have to do with us? We are not afraid of him! β
Phuket didn't speak, a thoughtful look.
Grew up. Now, he's a terrible person.
Mei Qiuli looked at his face in the crystal ball and sighed like this.
Once upon a time, not for a long time, only a dozen or so scenes ago, when he started plundering here, the leader of the two-headed vulture was still the tall, silver-haired old man. And this half-bald young man is just a little follower next to the old man.
What's that man's name? Yelika? He looks majestic, and his usual combat strength is also strong, but he is powerless in the face of Dores's toxins.
Under the poison, Mr. Yelika will not only not oppose the looting, but will take the looting as a necessary price, as a means of atonement. It just makes people laugh off their big teeth....
But this one will not give in so easily. Mei Qiuli still had some vague impressions: when she checked the equipment she took from him, she found that many of them were bubbles; There are also some who have already been judged to have succeeded in the seizure, but they still appear with him later.
Rhea's plan seems to be to take advantage of this person? Maybe it will be very helpful. However, this man's appetite will not be small.
Just as he was thinking, Rhea entered the room with a few of the saints.
After a brief greeting, the two of them entered the hut and began to talk individually. And the content did not exceed Mei Qiuli's expectations, Rhea promised to give the other party a large sum of money, a few items that could cover the debt, and a premium to buy some of their materials.
That's a lot of money, but the requirement is that at least one of the Two-Headed Vultures must finish in the top three in DTPH's solo fighting tournament and give all the proceeds to Rhea.
"I refuse." Mr. Phuket, as Mei Qiuli had predicted, turned down the obviously problematic deal. "Our plan is to take first place in the hunting tournament, not some inexplicable solo fight."
"On our side, the conditions proposed by the head of the Sakthas regiment have been agreed to by the DTPH team. In other words, in the course of the competition, anyone who defeats an opponent is eligible to receive a piece of equipment from the opponent. But he also put forward new conditions: it is forbidden to pick and see, and it is forbidden to see what is on the other party. If you make the wrong choice, the opportunity is null and void. You don't know what's in everyone on other teams--- we know. β
Rhea offered a valid reason. But Phuket still refused.
"Add another 200,000 and buy 200,000 more of your materials." Rhea raised his stack. "It's guaranteed to be higher than your hunting profits."
"Nope." Phuket still shook her head. "Our plan has been set and will not change."
Rhea glared at the other, stood up, pushed open the door and walked out. Mei Qiuli laughed loudly.
But after a few moments, her laughter stopped. For Rhea pushed the door open again and walked back with a hateful smile on his face.
"Mr. Phuket, I have bad news for you." She said. "When the king heard about the plan to hold a fight, he decided to cancel today's hunt and go to the arena to watch the final stage of the fight."
"Do you think the brave warriors of the Two-Headed Vulture can bear not to participate in a fighting tournament with great rewards when the hunt can't take place?"
Phuket's face sank.
"Now, we can have a good talk, right?"
