Chapter 50: The Colosseum

Lunatis held Geraint's black left hand with her ghost knight's characteristic left hand until Geraint slowly turned into black flames and disappeared.

Geraint disappeared completely.

Lunatis was immersed in a state of utter grief, and Geneross sat on the ground with a decadent expression. And the little girl's eyes were swollen and she kept sobbing. Elusa also looked at this scene with a sad feeling.

In fact, Elusa had seen Geraint in the village of Cansai, but she was not so impressed that she couldn't remember it for a while.

Tears rolled down Luna Tess's cheeks.

Why?

Fate sent him to me again, but at this time he was ......

Luna Tees slowly opened her dark red left hand, where there was a jet-black ring. It was Geraint's ring.

"I'm never going to be separated from you again......"

Luna Tees' eyes closed, tears streaming down her face, but her face was expressionless, and she placed the ring on the middle finger of her right hand. Later, she added leather gloves to her left glove. The features of the ghost knight are completely obscured.

..................

Blake and Roy were also taking the mission at the Mercenary Corps Department of Demon Cloud City at the time, but after they took the mission, they found that Genosis was missing, thinking that he took Elusa to do the mission first, and then Blake and Roy discussed it, and went back to the library directly after completing the task. However, when they returned to Peter's library after completing their mission, they found that Genosis was dragging Elusa's hand tightly as they returned to the library.

Roy saw that the atmosphere was not right, and Genosis's face was very heavy at this time, but his eyes were extremely determined. It's hard to ask anything.

Generosis wanted to ask the little girl with the big glasses about Geraint, but the little girl kept crying and couldn't speak, so Generosis had to give up and accompany Elusa back.

Unexpectedly, Genosis sprinkled dog food in front of Roy again: "Elusa, I lost a very important friend today. I can't lose you anymore, and you. ”

Then he hugged Elusa tightly. Elusa's face turned red again, and she said shyly, "Ah, others are watching." ”

Roy was indignant: (Can't you just stop spilling dog food in front of Black?) That guy just encountered setbacks on the road to love and didn't recover, and you and Elusa spurred us on every day. Find an occasion where there is no one else another day, and I will have to talk to you in private. )

..................

The next night, Peter asked, "Do you have any weapons at hand?"

Genosis was stunned: "Yes, but they are all incompetent weapons." Peter listened to the words of Geneross and took stock of the weapons that everyone could use at present, roughly as follows:

Genossis: Knight Short Sword X1, Knight Shield X1.

Black: Knight's Sword X1, Knight's Shield X1.

Roy: Rune Lightsaber x1.

Elusa: A staff of unknown quality from Roy.

Roy asked, "Uncle Peter, why are you asking this?"

Peter smiled faintly, "Roy, have you ever been to the gladiatorial arena to watch a game?"

Roy nodded, "Of course." The gladiatorial fighting matches I watched in the gladiatorial arena of the imperial capital of the Benlei Empire, many of the gladiators were above the fifth order. "But Roy is smart, Peter certainly didn't take everyone to the Colosseum to watch the game, so ...... He took the people to the gladiatorial arena to participate in the gladiatorial fight. Peter saw Roy's eager appearance, and said with a wry smile: "If you go, I won't allow you to use the rune lightsaber, your weapon can almost make you invincible in a single battle below the third order, then there is no point in actual combat training." ”

As far as the lower tier is concerned, the power of the rune lightsaber is too strong.

was seen through by Peter, and Roy was also quite embarrassed.

Roy suggested, "Why don't we spend money on a batch of weapons tomorrow and then go to the Colosseum tomorrow night." Otherwise, I don't have any weapons, and we don't have anything but money. ”

Peter shook his head and said, "My suggestion is to go to the blacksmith shop to build a suitable armor during this time, but it should be a little bigger, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go to the gladiatorial arena if the armor is not complete." While you're building armor, you'll go to the Mercenary Regiment Department to do more tasks to make up for the cost of crafting armor. At the same time, the cultivation in the morning cannot be left behind. ”

The crowd gladly accepted.

The next day, everyone came to a blacksmith shop in Demon Cloud City, and customized a set of knight heavy armor, a set of knight light armor, a set of swordsman light armor, a set of magician leather soft armor, and a knight's spear customized according to Blake's height ratio. A swordsman-style lightweight sword. There were six gold coins and eighty silver coins in total, and half of the deposit was paid first. The main reason is that the custom-made armor is too expensive, and the conventional armor is only eighty silver coins for a set, and if the special size is customized, the price is doubled.

The armor requires a slightly larger size in terms of body shape, and everyone is in the stage of growing taller, and if the size is not large, it will have to be changed in less than a month. The time given to the blacksmith was two weeks, during which time Genosis, Blake, and Roy were all busy with mercenary tasks, but in order to save money on accommodation, they no longer took on twenty-five missions at a time as before.

And probably stimulated, during this time, Blake actually broke through to the level of a four-star trainee knight. And Geneross will occasionally follow Elusa to practice fire element magic, and now Generosis can barely use fire attribute magic.

The two-week order time is up. Generosis and Roy go to the blacksmith to get the armament and pay the money. The reason why Roy wanted to buy an extra lightweight long knife was because the rune lightsaber's attack was actually more like a knife than a sword.

Everyone was a little excited that afternoon, and in the evening it was finally time to enter the gladiatorial arena for actual combat.

And the rules of the gladiatorial arena, everyone has roughly figured it out during this time. The more important rule is not to attack when the opponent has obviously lost his combat effectiveness. You can throw in the towel at any time.

In the gladiatorial arena of Demon Cloud City, the most gladiators are in the first order, one reason is that the demonic beasts in the Demon Cloud Mountain Range basically start from the second order, and the cultivators of the first order rashly enter the Demon Cloud Mountain Range is tantamount to death, but they can't gain actual combat experience without fighting, so the gladiatorial arena has become the area that first-order cultivators are most keen on.

In general, such gladiatorial arenas are set up in every major city. As Roy said, in the gladiatorial arena of his Benlei Empire, there were even fifth-order gladiators appearing.

And the gladiatorial arena is not just a duel between the strong, sometimes, the gladiatorial arena official will hunt some live low-level magical beasts and let them duel people in the gladiatorial arena. And this is a real life-and-death fight, which requires killing Warcraft in a flashy and exaggerated way to achieve the effect of a show. Of course, there will also be accidents, either killing the monster or being killed by the monster.

Of course, there is a duel between the contestants, there is an individual mode, a duo mode, and a team mode. The team mode is a team duel of three or more than seven people.

The gladiatorial arena of Demon Cloud City is very tall and looks magnificent and gorgeous. The exterior looks like a flat cylinder, and the internal structure resembles a bowl, and the dueling ring is located at the bottom and center of this "bowl". The "bowl" wall is the seat.

Peter then led the group into the arena.

After being guided by the staff, the four children came to the maintenance room. Because he had already understood in advance that he would need to wear a mask and that he would have to give another gladiatorial name, when he signed up, Genosis filled in Jenny, Blake filled in Starry Sky, Roy filled in Lyle, and Elusa filled in Flame. Everyone looked at Roy's name strangely and asked, "Does this name mean anything?"

An important reason for wearing a mask and being famous in a gladiatorial fight is that there are inevitably casualties in a gladiatorial fight, and this concealed identity can play a role in protecting the duelist, but of course it is not really useful.

Roy shook his head helplessly: "Wouldn't it be Lyle to spell Roy's letters in reverse." ”

Everyone was amazed.

The average duelist, ranging in age from seventeen to thirty, is almost impossible to appear like Genosis, who is just eleven years old. And the gladiatorial arena is ranked according to strength. If the winner cannot be decided within three minutes, the decision will be made according to the referee's decision. So it's either a win or a loss, there's no such thing as a draw.

And the Colosseum also accepts bets.

Betting is the main source of income for the Colosseum. The price of the ticket is very low, and the lowest ticket is only 15 copper coins. The tickets for the VIP seats at the front are relatively expensive, about three silver coins. Tickets don't actually make much money.

Peter finally explained: "Pay attention to safety, if you can't do it, surrender." Also, Elusa I didn't sign you up for the solo event, you only have a duo event with Genosis. With that, Peter left the preparation room.

Blake and Genosis laughed strangely in their hearts: as knights, how can there be a reason to surrender?

Through the exit, Generosis and Blake looked strangely at the ring outside the passage and asked, "Why is there an electric light here?"

They didn't know that the few high-power electric lights in the gladiatorial arena of Demon Cloud City were one of the few electrical appliances in Demon Cloud City.

The first to appear was Roy.

Roy entered the ring through the aisle at the signal of the staff. The staff saw that Roy was very young, and his heart was also very strange.

Horns roared outside. The lights are shining. Roy looked at the dazzling searchlight, and after getting used to it a little, he heard the host shout:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Colosseum of Demon Cloud City. The first gladiatorial fight I brought to you today was ......"

Then he waved his hand and pointed at Roy: "...... Swordsman Lyle! and ......"

With another wave of his hand, he pointed at Roy's opponent: "...... Axe warrior Leo!"

"Everyone has one minute to bet, and after one minute of betting, the gladiatorial fight begins!"

The audience was in an uproar when they saw Roy's short stature and looked at the strong axe warrior Leo: "You came to participate in the gladiatorial fight at such a young age, are the family crazy?" No one is optimistic about Roy's combat effectiveness at all.

Peter smiled in the last seat, and then the staff on the side of the aisle placed a bet and gave Roy ten gold coins.

However, the odds are naturally disproportionate, as no one believes Roy can win. And the odds of the axe warrior Leo were quickly depressed, and the lowest was only one to seven.

It should be noted that when placing a bet, the staff will give a betting ticket, and Peter bought ten gold coins, which have already arrived in the wallet of the gladiatorial arena, and when receiving the bonus, it does not include the money that bought the betting ticket, so the odds can never be less than one.

The odds of the prize for "Swordsman Lyle" are as high as 8.2 to 1.

At the beginning, the rules of the gladiatorial arena said that there was no draw, which actually simplified the betting procedure, and it could look fair on the surface, and it was convenient for the referee to blow the black whistle secretly.

The axe warrior Leo is a first-order six-star warrior with a wind attribute. Swordsman Roy is a first-order four-star swordsman with a thunder attribute.

However, with the exception of Peter, all viewers did not know that the attribute of "Swordsman Lyle" was not a wind attribute.

"Alright guys, the bets are over, the game is about to start, Are you really?Go!"

With the referee's wave, the host followed the rhythm of the referee's wave and announced the start of the game.

However, the game lasted only twenty seconds before it was over.

As soon as the referee waved his hand, Leo raised his axe and slashed at Roy. Roy will definitely not be stupid enough to fight you, your strength is two stars higher than Roy's. Roy was extremely fast, his footwork changed, and he quickly walked to Leo's side, and then slashed at it.

Leo was not slow to react, holding an axe to resist.

Roy smiled evilly. Then, the lightning magic of the Roy Ray Elemental Spirit Rune quickly flowed out of the weapon.

The long knife slammed on the axe with a crisp "ding!"

"Zizi, zizi!"

The thunder and lightning activated, and the axe warrior Leo suddenly felt his arm numb and was shocked, and at the same time, Roy's footwork changed again, deviating from Leo's front, and at the same time, Roy's long knife had come to his neck.

His arm was paralyzed by lightning and frightened by the rapid light of the sword, so the axe warrior Leo let go of his hand and the axe fell to the ground.

Roy held a long knife in one hand and rested it on the neck of the axe warrior Leo, proudly announcing, "You have lost!"
