165.Legacy Selection (1)
On the second Sunday of the inauguration of the Abbey of the Light of Truth, Ashfurnace made an exciting announcement. The selection of God of War Warriors has begun again, and this time four warriors will be selected, and the selected warriors will be rewarded handsomely.
The last time the selection for the God of War was held, the last warrior fell into the hands of Drogba, and Rommel withdrew from the tournament due to physical exhaustion in the final stages of the tournament. That time, Drogba got a bonus of 500 gold coins, although the prize this time was not announced, but according to insiders, the reward of the God of War warriors this time was beyond imagination.
The magnates of the Church and the Academy of Arius have left the Valley of the Ashhearth, but the ruins that appear in the Black Forest behind the Ashhearth have attracted adventurers who have come to attend the inauguration of the Light of Truth. The magic crystals of the Abyssal Ghost have a huge attraction for adventurers, and in the black market of the big cities of the Southern Swamp, a magic crystal of the Abyssal Ghost is valuable and in short supply.
Ashhearth Castle has a very generous treatment for wandering knights, but after so many days, none of the wandering knights are willing to join Ashhearth. It's not surprising at all, even the Wandering Knight is looking for a prestigious and wealthy financier, Merlin Tesla of Ashfurnace Valley clearly doesn't meet this standard.
Anyone familiar with the Valley of the Ashburgh knows that before the construction of the Abbey of the Light of Truth at Arius College, few adventurers were willing to take a boat for a few days, then walk a few days on a mountain road, and finally reach this poor and backward place. This is what Father Yuri knows most profoundly.
He was a victim of a failed struggle within the Church, and when he arrived in the Valley of the Ashheart, he was almost hopeless. In this poor countryside full of the barbarians of the Northlands, he had no possibility of making a meritorious achievement.
The idea of the wandering knight is similar, the nine knight families of the Ashfurnace Fort were not the wandering knights who joined the Ashfurnace Valley, but their roots are in the Ashfurnace Valley. The Nine Great Families themselves have been living in the Ash Furnace Valley for hundreds of years. But now there are only five families left. The head of the remaining four houses died when the evil spellcaster attacked the Valley of the Ashheart.
The vice president of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce has little interest in the God of War Contest in Ashhearth, but he can't resist the persuasion of Jeff, the leader of the Bloody Hand Chamber of Commerce. The Nissa of Arius College began before the moon rose and after the sun set. The time before the sun set did not belong to the Arian school.
The siege of the adventurer's camp by the fallen and robbers caused many adventurers to change their plans. Compared to the magic crystallization of the abyssal ghost, the small life is more important.
In the clearing between the Ashhearth and the Light of Truth, a tall white building was erected overnight. The white round stone pillars support a large eggshell-like leaf, and beneath the blade is a meadow of about 0.5 hectares. This is a Champ de Mars built by Merlin in the size of a later standard football field, and there are about 5,000 spectator seats around the Champ de Mars. If you count the special location in front of you, the entire Champ de Mars Square can accommodate almost 6,000 people watching the game at the same time.
The Champ de Mars is somewhat similar to the Colosseum in Rome, but structurally different. There is no clear boundary between the central meadow and the surrounding stands, which is not the case in Rome. They needed to prevent slaves and wild beasts from escaping from the Colosseum. So the stands around it are much higher than the Colosseum.
The Champ de Mars in the Ashhearth Fort is somewhat similar to the Central Gymnasium of later generations, there is no clear boundary between the stands and the playing field, and Merlin is not prepared to hold a life-and-death fight between beasts and slaves in the Champ de Mars, in fact, a God of War competition alone is attractive enough.
The frenzy of the World Cup in later generations is global in nature, and there is no nation that is not attracted by the charm of football. Merlin's God of War tournament is almost the same as the football game of later generations. If it weren't for the two Grey Golems, Merlin would not have been able to complete the construction of the Champ de Mars in the time of torment.
Six thousand spectators will hopefully surprise everyone who pays attention to Ashhearth, and the entire Ashhearth doesn't have that much population combined.
Many people have already watched the God of War tournament in Ashfurnace, and many people already know the rules of the tournament. But this time there is a new way to play, and everyone can participate and bet on the ball.
The Bohemian Chamber of Commerce made a bet, with Rommel's Poors at odds of 1-5 and Drogba's Cavaliers at odds of 1-1-25.
"Why can't the wandering knight participate in the God of War Competition?"
"So far, this year's God of War Warrior Tryouts does not accept applications from Wandering Knights, but Baron Merlin Tesla has already begun to prepare for the Wandering Knights' competition," the person asked was the beautiful and extraordinary Sulla, "If you have any questions, you can pay attention to the notice board of Ashfurnace Castle, please see, in the open space over there, there will be five new unit squares, which can accommodate different God of War competitions at the same time." ”
Following the direction of Sura's finger, the two gray golems crawled leisurely on the flat grass, leaving piles of white stones in their wakes where they had crawled, which had carved out different patterns on the grass.
The gray puppet with Ganquan can be regarded as a combination of infrastructure gods. Merlin's design idea is simple: clean and clear lines, thick and sharp connotations. Thick lines of white stone divide the grass into geometric shapes.
"Aren't you cheating?" Drogba's eyes were bloodshot.
"We owe Rommel this title!" Merlin smiled, "You should know better than I know what is going on!"
Drogba's face turned red: "Last time I won him, don't you think I shouldn't?"
"No, on the contrary, I think you need this title more," Merlin said meaningfully, "Do you think it would be possible for you to break through to the Bronze Horseman without this title?"
Drogba shook his head a little ashamedly, "Yes, you're quite right. ”
"You two will be my left hand and right hand in the future, you should look farther away, not worry about the strength of that hand!" Merlin looked into the distance, "Rommel's legacy crystallization was given to him by me, there will be more inheritance crystals in the future, and more knights will appear in Ashfurnace Castle." ”
Drogba gradually quieted down, and the blow of the previous night seemed to have subsided, but only he knew that there was a deep scar in his heart, which remained, indicating that Rommel had once again surpassed him as the victor.
