Chapter 38: The Boxing Match
"You want to watch a boxing match?"
"I heard that there is a boxing tournament here, and in order to cherish the rest of my life, I hope to do something meaningful and box. ”
"You?" replied to the waiter, looking Tarrant up and down, dressed as an adventurer, but his body was thinner than that of the sailors around him, and he seemed to be inferior to a sailor, "It is dangerous to fight. ”
"Danger is for different people," Tarrant smiled.
The sailor who had just mediated a brawl turned his head, "I'll take you." ”
He got up and walked to the side door of the tavern, and Tarrant put down his glass and followed, snickering from behind him from the other sailors, "He's dead." ”
A bearded fat man sat on a straw bale at the side door, and when he saw the sailor coming, he dodged in acquaintance, and when Tarrant approached the door, he was pressed against the armor by the beard, "Boy, the entrance fee is 12 copper coins!"
"He's coming with me," the sailor in front dropped a sentence.
"Please come in," the bearded man awkwardly wiped Tarrant's armor, "Don't worry." ”
The sailor walked ahead, and there was a dark flight of stairs, and Tarrant followed carefully, "You're a boxer?"
"It used to be, and now it's retired and living a rich life at sea. ”
"What do you call it?" Tarrant asked.
"You can call me a mouthfisher. ”
Mouthfisher shark, although Tarrant is not a sea adventurer, but he also knows some, the larger and ferocious shark, will attack the giant ships sailing on the sea, the bite force of the mouthfish shark can bite through refined iron, is a voyager's nightmare, this sailor must have some similarity with this sea monster.
"My name is Tarrant, how do I participate in boxing?" Tarrant was unclear about the rules of the underground black boxing.
"You can see how people fight first, the audience is on the first floor, and the boxing arena is on the second floor. The sailor turned forward at the top of a staircase.
The tavern originally had an underground floor, and Tarrant originally thought that the boxing ring was on the second floor, but he didn't expect it to be underground.
Coming to the audience seat on the first floor, it is already full of people, about three or four hundred, the area is much larger than the tavern above, the audience seat is in a ring, the middle is the boxing arena on the second floor, you can see the boxing match clearly from top to bottom, at this moment there are two people in armor in the boxing arena are slashing at each other, and the audience shouts loudly "Beat him! Beat him!"
"Can you wear armor and take a weapon?" Tarrant thought it was just a fist, but the people in the boxing arena were swinging their swords.
"It's okay, you can choose the way that makes you play the most combat effectiveness, the audience wants to see the blood, and the limbs that are carried out by the beating, and it doesn't matter how you do it. ”
"Then I can go on this way now?" Tarrant was wearing armor.
"Yes, you don't have to take away the spirit pattern bag, if there is anything in it, you can also use it, there are no rules, just defeat the other party and make the audience excited. ”
"Got it, I'll be on the next game", Tarrant was already in the groove, "where to sign up." ”
"When this is over, don't worry. ”
The two people on the stage moved very slowly, Tarrant was very boring to watch, and at this speed he could only go out and play with the goblins, and finally, one of the fighters slipped and fell to the ground, and the other rushed up and kicked hard with his foot, and the fight was over.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic shouts, and a halfling stood in the middle of the second-floor boxing ring and shouted: "The winner of this game is our 'heavy knight'! Who else wants to challenge our winner tonight?"
"It's time to sign up," the mouthcatcher stood up, "There's a knight here who wants to give it a try!"
The audience looked towards the mouthfisher, and the audience on the other side of the mouthfish quickly rolled to the side, and Tarrant stood up, "I'm going to challenge!"
Applause rang out, and the halfling pointed to Tarrant, "Okay, our knight, please come to the second floor." ”
"Follow me," said the mouthfisher, walking down the staircase where he had turned, "Tarrant, I'm sure you'll be able to defeat this victor easily." ”
"Let's try it", Tarrant was still enthusiastic just now, and now he was a little nervous.
The area on the second floor is much smaller, in addition to a boxing ring, there is also a small room for fighters to rest and change equipment, and a waiter stands at the door to greet him, "What's your name?"
It's the boxer's code name, Tarrant forgot this, the name has a sense of power, and before he could figure it out, the mouthfish shark on the side said, "Dolphin." ”
"Dolphin Rider, you can rest in this room. ”
Dolphin...... Tarrant smiled wryly, "Does dolphins have any special significance?"
"I love dolphins, it's sexy. There was not a hint of a smile on the face of the billfisher.
It was an unpleasant feeling, Tarrant had heard that sailors who had been on the sea for a long time had some bad habits, and he felt that he should keep some distance from this sailor, he did not want to go to the rest room, he could boxing now, and he said to the waiter: "There is no need to rest, you can start now." ”
"Okay, Dolphin Rider, please come with me. The waiter led the way to the boxing ring.
When Tarrant stepped into the boxing ring, the whole audience resounded one after another, and the halfling signaled quiet, and he shouted vigorously: "This is our brave dolphin knight, the odds are now 1:3, and the show will start immediately!"
The halfling walked up to Tarrant's side, "Fight casually, you can use props, you can kill the other party, understand?"
Taran nodded in agreement, he made two small jumps to warm up, pulled out his sword and swung it a few times, and it was a lot of pressure to be noticed by so many people.
The halfling stood between Tarrant and the heavily armored knight, "Spectators, start now!"
The challenge officially began, and the heavily armored knight moved along the small half circle of Tarrant, his eyes were very vigilant, and he shouted from his helmet: "Boy, you dare to challenge me, you can only carry it out!"
Tarrant observed his position, his footsteps were a little wandering, and the sound of his feet was also very loud, it should be the reason why his body was consumed too much, and when he attacked, he could counterattack, Tarrant stood quietly.
The occasional "kombat" sound from the audience was a little impatient, they didn't need to watch the situation on the field, they just wanted to watch the two scuffle together, and the bets they made proved that most people wanted to see Tarrant beaten flat.
At the urging of the audience, the heavily armored knight couldn't stand Tarrant's calmness, he swung his sword and slashed at Tarrant's neck, Tarrant lowered his head to dodge, and quickly hit the heavy knight's waist with his left fist, the heavy knight's armor blocked the attack, but he still staggered two steps to the right.
Before the heavily armored knight could adjust his stance, he rushed towards Tarrant again, and the tip of his sword stabbed Tarrant in the chest.
The attack was too hasty and full of loopholes, Tarrant blocked the tip of the sword, and his left fist struck quickly on the helmet of the heavy armor, which was knocked into the distance, and the heavy armor touched his nose and took two steps back in pain, shouting, "Damn beast, my nose!"
The audience let out curses, and the heavily armored knight looked like a fool, which made them very unhappy, and if this continued, the bet on him became a waste.
In the midst of the curse, Tarrant walked towards the heavily armored knight, the heavy armor swung his sword as a defense, but the timing was not grasped, the sword was swung too early, Tarrant raised a kick and kicked the heavy armor's right wrist, the sword fell to the ground, and Tarrant raised his sword.
"I surrender! I surrender!" Shigekashi screamed, and if he didn't surrender, he would have to be carried out.
"Kill this guy!" shouted in unison from the angry spectators, their gold coins evaporating, apparently hoping to see the heavy armor die in the ring.
Tarrant put away his sword and raised his hands in the air, allowing the heavily armored knight to roll and slide down the ring.
Amid loud applause, the halfling ran up to Tarrant, "Do you want to take on the next challenge now?"
"Go on. ”
"Dolphin Knight will take on the next Challenger Challenge, let's welcome the challenger 'Silver Staff Mage'. ”
It's a mage, Tarrant was a little surprised, the range of movement in the boxing world is too small, and it is difficult to dodge spells, and he prays that he is not the kind of mage in Tingwu Mountain.
A thin mage stepped onto the stage, small, dressed in tattered robes, and carrying a silver staff about the height of his, and Tarrant estimated that a punch in the mage's face would end the challenge.
After the halfling announced the start of the challenge, Tarrant walked forward quickly, before the attack was reached, the mage on the opposite side had finished chanting a simple spell, and the white energy bounced on Tarrant's body, without causing any damage, Tarrant was wondering about the effect of the spell, he slipped under his feet and fell to the ground heavily, the weight of the armor made his eyes black.
There was a laugh from the audience, and Tarrant stood up, the spell just now must be greasy, it can last for a few minutes, this state can't run quickly, and the next battle must be handled carefully.
The mage continued to chant the spell, and an arrow-shaped magical energy condensed, slowly emitting a white aura and ice arrows around it. Tarrant stopped, he had to dodge the blow first, the mage shot the ice arrow into Tarrant's chest, the distance between the two was enough for Tarrant to dodge, Tarrant leaned forward and could take the opportunity to close the distance between the two.
As soon as Tarrant leaned over, his center of gravity immediately lost his balance, his chin hit the ground suddenly, and his eyes hit Venus, damn greasy, he fell unconscious before he could get close to himself, and he could only use an unsightly method to deal with it, Tarrant walked towards the mage in slow motion.
This is exactly what the mage wants, slow down and give him time to cast spells, and the mage's fingertips instantly fire four magic missiles, and he walks towards Tarrant with his staff. Tarrant rolled on his side to dodge two missiles, and the other two hit his armor, leaving two dents, and before he could stand up, Tarrant found the mage standing in front of him, his staff pointed at his head, and fired four more missiles.
There was no way to dodge, Tarrant could only protect his head with his right hand, so that all the energy of the missile hit his right hand, and the cheap armor was directly knocked down with almost no protection, and Tarrant lost sensation in his right hand and could no longer hold the sword.
The winner will be decided soon, and the audience is excited, shouting, "Dolphin Rider, get up!"
The mage chanted a spell, no matter what it was, Tarrant was enough to fight back, if he kept the distance just now, the mage might still have a chance to win, the current distance, Tarrant had a chance to win, he grabbed the mage's foot with his left hand and stood up, two heads higher than the mage, he grabbed the mage's robe, although his right hand was not strong, there were other weapons that could be used, Tarrant's head slammed into the mage's head.
The emaciated mage couldn't withstand the impact, and fainted instantly, and the half-condensed energy ball spread out again. Poor short one, with too little actual combat experience, excellent mages will only keep their distance, and not take the initiative to step forward.
"Dolphin Rider" and "Dolphin Knight" sounded in the auditorium, marking Tarrant's promotion to the new darling here.
The halfling ran up to the stage, "Wonderful duel, let me see, our Dolphin Knight only defeated two people in ten minutes, who else dares to challenge!"
The auditorium was quiet, they needed the next challenger.
In a dark corner of the auditorium, a huge figure stood up, "I'm coming!"
