Chapter 165: The Event
On the outskirts of the Holy Emperor City.
Colosseum.
Today is the five-year Day of the Empire of Light, the greatest event in the Empire.
The four major realms and King Arthur's kingdom will each send masters in their respective fields to participate in the battle, which is also the only way for the Empire of Light to promote and appoint new forces.
These competitions are extraordinary, and there are no identity restrictions for the masters who participate, as long as they are the citizens of the Empire of Light. Although the rules are very simple, if you really want to participate in the Great Competition of the Holy Emperor City, it is definitely not that simple.
First of all, you must first obtain the qualification to participate in the Holy Emperor City competition before you can stand on this competition platform. And obtaining this qualification is like a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops.
Cultivators must first participate in the Great Contest in their respective fields, and after obtaining the top ten rankings, they can obtain a pass ticket to enter the Holy Emperor City Grand Competition, and with this pass ticket, they will also have the qualification to participate in the Holy Emperor City Grand Competition.
The Empire of Light has four realms and a kingdom, which is ruled by four Archbishops of the Holy Vestments, and one kingdom is the kingdom of King Arthur. Needless to say, how big the four realms and kingdoms are, not to mention how many heavenly pride and powerhouses, so the people who can participate in the Holy Imperial City Competition are all the leaders of the four major realms and King Arthur's kingdom. And if you want to get a pass ticket in the four major fields, this is not easy.
Every year, fifty people are drawn from the four major realms and King Arthur's kingdom. The rest of the list of candidates is the young people selected by the Holy Light Church.
To put it bluntly, this big competition is actually to provide a chance for cultivators to rise to the top, and for the Empire of Light, this big competition is also to inject some fresh blood into the empire.
Because this involves the future of the Empire of Light and the continuation of the Holy Light Church, this five-year Holy Imperial City is extremely rigorous. The Holy Light Church sent cardinal archbishops to arbitrate the competition, which is enough to see how much the Empire of Light attaches great importance to the Holy Imperial City Dabi.
And some big families and big names of major forces will also come to watch the battle, although it is called to see the excitement, but in fact, it is all to pick up leaks, look for young people with potential but have not won the ranking, and then make friends in private.
No one knew that there would be rain in that cloud, in case among the people eliminated by these Holy Emperor City Great Competitions, there would be an eighth-order master in the future, then these forces would make a lot of money.
During this Holy Imperial City Competition, the big names of the Empire of Light will come to watch the battle, so the attraction of this competition is not ordinary. The young talents of the empire all dream of performing well on the test table, and if they are favored by any of these forces, they will be accepted under their command to obtain better resources, so this big competition is a good opportunity for them to rise to the top.
Recruiting young masters with potential is the foundation of ensuring the strength of forces. Except for the Holy Light Church, all the forces here will poach some Heavenly Pride in the Great Competition every year, and finally cultivate them into their own mainstays, which is also the reason why they can still stand at the top of the empire after the fall of the masters of these forces.
And this year's big competition is more eye-catching than in previous years. Just because this year, there was a special person who was invited to participate in this big competition.
Why is this person special, just because this guy is famous and is a celebrity in the entire Dark Light Continent.
He is most famous not for how high his cultivation is, on the contrary, he is a waste without any strength. It's just because this guy has that piece of paper marriage contract, and the party to this marriage contract is the most dazzling pearl of this empire of light--- Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden.
This Roy came down to participate in the big competition, which surprised everyone, because everyone thought that the Dark Empire would not agree to this condition, after all, this Roy was a waste.
But this Roy really came to participate, no one knows what he thinks, but his participation has a little benefit, that is, it makes this Dabi a lot more highlights, and on top of those major gambling games, there are also some gambling gimmicks.
The test site of the Holy Emperor City was one mile on the outskirts of the city, where the terrain was flat and the area was wide. A circular gladiatorial arena covering a radius of several kilometers is located in the middle of it.
When I woke up in the morning, the gladiatorial arena, which had been unusually quiet on weekdays, was boiling. Vendors set up small stalls in the arena, and everything from beer and fried chicken was available. And the civilians also put down their work, and all ran to this gladiatorial arena to join in the fun.
The gladiatorial arena was arranged with six rings, each of which was equipped with a barrier magic array, and when the magic array was activated, it could withstand the full force of the ninth-order Great Perfection.
This arrangement is to ensure that when the two sides compete, the energy generated will not affect the crowd of onlookers, nor will it damage the venue. And for thousands of years, it is true that no one has the strength to destroy the magic array of this ring.
The gladiatorial arena also set up special seats for spectators, and wine and food were arranged for some VIPs to enjoy. After all, it is a grand event once every five years, and the people who can sit in this viewing table must be extraordinary. If the hospitality is not careful, it may cause some trouble.
At this time, in the gladiatorial arena, the surrounding audience seats were also full, and the main stand was already full of people, and everyone was waiting for the start of the competition with great interest.
The big names of the Empire of Light have arrived, and their eyes have been fixed on these young talents who participated in the competition.
Some of them have already made bets off the floor and want to make a fortune on this big match.
The gladiatorial arena was so lively, but Li Yanbei was not in a good mood.
He looked at the battle book in his hand, and his face was very ugly.
"This is the opponent they set up for me for 100,000 silver coins?"
Shaking the battle table in his hand, Li Yanbei had a smile on his face.
"Why do I feel so unreliable?"
Handing the battle table to Jester, Li Yanbei sneered coldly and said,
"Jester, I think you'd better get ready. If this guy is real, you're going to have to hurry up, because I think Chris is a bit exaggerated. ”
Seeing the flickering expression on Li Yanbei's face, Jester shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression,
"Your Excellency, you're thinking too much. Although Baron Chris carries the name of the second son of waste on his back, when it comes to these unpopular Dao Dao, he may not have more experience than him in the entire Dark Light Continent. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Li Yanbei was slightly stunned.
"Is this guy so powerful?"
Jester scoffed and said,
"Baron Chris's waste name means that his cultivation level is not good, but the second son is very knowledgeable. ”
Li Yanbei was confused.
"What's the learning here?"
The smile on Jester's face grew mysterious.
"Our esteemed Baron Chris is a good speculative and black money, and the dirty transactions he does in private are only you can't think of, and there is nothing he can't do, which is why he was ranked as one of the four wastes. ”
Li Yanbei's eyes widened.
"I'll go, this guy still has such a hand?"
Jester reached out and took the battle watch, then said softly,
"Beverly Siakam, second place in the main city of Edinsburg in the Star Realm, recommended by Grand Duke Casillas. The strength is sixth-order intermediate, and in the Starlight City Competition, he won the tenth place again, just taking the last train of the Holy Emperor City Competition. ”
When Collinde heard the name, he nodded slowly. He stepped forward and took the battle table, and said lightly,
"I know this guy, there's a detailed record of this guy in the Shadows. This Siakam talent belongs to the middle and upper ranks of the younger generation, and there is some luck in being able to get the ticket to the Holy Emperor City Dabi. Even if he really participates in the big competition, with his strength, the most he can do is to break through the first round. ”
Hearing this, Li Yanbei was slightly puzzled.
"I can't figure it out, this Holy Imperial City's Dabi is so important, why should this young man give up, even if he can't break through the first round, this kind of talent should be valued by some forces, making him give up the opportunity to show on such a big stage, I really want to know how this Baron Chris persuaded him?"
"Isn't that easy?"
Jester snorted.
He was approached by Chris in Edinsburgh and promised him a job in the Casillas family. You also know that with his strength, it is difficult to break through the first round, and even if he breaks through the first round, it may not be higher than the treatment given by the Casillas family, plus Chris gave him a few thousand more silver coins, he will also be benefited, why should he not do this?"
Hearing Jester's explanation, the doubts in Li Yanbei's heart were solved.
He shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, it's really rich to make ghosts grind. These waste guys really know how to figure out the psychology of others. actually let such a young handsome man fall down in front of their group of waste. ”
Jester snorted.
"My lord, he didn't bow down in front of Baron Chris, but lost to this world of the jungle. ”
Hearing Jester's words, Li Yanbei sighed secretly in his heart. And just as he sighed, a familiar shout suddenly came from the distance.
"His Highness Roy, His Highness Roy!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Yanbei couldn't help frowning slightly.
"It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived. ”
Turning around, Li Yanbei looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Chris not far away, waving his hands at him excitedly.
