"Invite me to a gambling fight?"

Thor was surprised, he didn't expect that the reason why Antas was looking for him was such a thing.

To the northeast of the Red Maple Grove, in the territory of the Maurisian Country, there are two medium magic families.

Recently, near the border between the two clans, a gold mine was discovered.

For the battle for this gold mine, the two families fought fiercely.

As the battle expanded and spread to the world, the Mauris nation suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.

In the end, under the tough arbitration of the Magic Association, the two sides engaged in a capture the flag gamble according to tradition.

The so-called capture the flag gambling originated from the warrior competition between ancient city-states when they fought for territory.

Now the rule is that both sides hire the same number of magicians below the beginner level, or equivalent other transcendents.

Then, gather in a wilderness or island to compete for the flag to decide whether you will win or lose.

Those who go to war must not be born from two families in question!

The Magic Association used the Capture the Flag gamble to prevent the Magic from causing large-scale battles between families that affected ordinary people.

Because magic makes the power strong, and the battle between the families is a natural disaster for ordinary people!

"If it's a gold mine, it's not going to be a capture the flag fight, right?"

After listening to the reason for the incident, Thor was a little puzzled.

Gold mines are great wealth for ordinary people, but for magicians, turning stones into gold is not a pipe dream.

The price to pay for holding a capture the flag gamble may be more than ten gold mines.

Antas explains:

"It is said that at first it was just a small dispute, but then it became a real fire, and the more it got bigger. ”

"Seven days ago, Shengsheng turned a plain in Mauris into a great desert, completely alarming the Magic Envoy Association!"

"Or dispatched a title magician, so that the two families temporarily stopped. ”

Thor listened, and secretly hesitated.

He was confident, but not arrogant.

In this kind of capture the flag gamble, the two major families will never hire the weak.

Moreover, I like the magic trick with strange abilities the most, the kind that makes the enemy unguardable.

Although Mayne Corida's legacy and crystal nucleus keep him from being blinded.

But in essence, Saul is a name, a newcomer who has just really come into contact with the world of magic.

I've learned a lot this month, but except for the step-by-step growth of the magic circuit, everything else is hidden strength.

"Thor, what are you waiting for?"

"Twenty black magic stones, how many commissions do you have to do to earn enough twenty magic stones!"

"Those who participated in the Capture the Flag gambling fight were all for money, and no one really went to the death fight. ”

Thor understood, but he was still hesitant.

After three months of steady study, you can complete the magic circuit and be promoted to a full-fledged magician, do you still need to take risks?

Seeing that Thor was still undecided, Antas suddenly became impatient:

"In vain, I am so optimistic about you, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, it's just cowardly!

Thor was stunned.

The word "timid" echoed in my mind for a long time:

yes, what am I getting timid? like the moment I left Güell.

A vision of the magic world, an awe of the unknown, and a lack of self-confidence when you first arrive.

Before he knew it, he had put away his edges and corners, his edge was in the sheath, his sword was covered with dust, and he became cowardly.

......

It's just a gamble, if you want to climb the peak, how can you hesitate at the foot of the mountain, and the legendary road should move forward bravely!

"I'll go!"

The categorical tone surprised Antas.

Looking at Thor again, he suddenly found something strange, as if he had seen another person in the past month.

From the first meeting, the cowardice that shrouded Saul's body with the kind of hillbilly entering the city disappeared.

A sharp air rushed to his face.

"Alright, you are ready, and the morning after tomorrow, we will meet at the gate of the castle. ”

After that, Antas wanted to leave quickly.

At this time, Thor made him very uncomfortable, because he could no longer be as condescending as before.

However, Thor still had a question, and stopped Antas, who turned around:

"Why do you insist on looking for me?"

"It's not me, it's someone else, you'll see it then. ”

Antas walked away without looking back.

Two days passed in a flash.

During this time, Thor entered the library again, copying a batch of books.

In the morning, Saul seals the bedroom, carries a homemade backpack, and walks down the stairs.

At the entrance of the castle, at the doll where the information was registered, stood Antas, along with another man and a woman.

The female apprentice surprised Thor.

Brown hair, three-dimensional facial features, tall figure, and dark skin, exposed tattoos.

"Indigenous?"

When Antas approached, Antas immediately introduced:

"Matt Young, a four-year apprentice who is nearing the completion of the magic circuit, and Duoduo, an apprentice of Chimeng descent who specializes in buff magic. ”

The Chimeng people, like the Hill people, are all indigenous to the Xinao continent.

It's just that the distribution is different, the Sil are on the peninsula, while the Chimeng are inland in the north.

When it was Sathar's turn to introduce Thor, Antas suddenly stopped.

The black pearl-like woman of Chimeng descent smiled inexplicably on her seductive lips, and said:

"Saul Hayworths, from the city of Güell on the Hill Peninsula. ”

"At the age of sixteen, he was a demon scar from the sky, and he was amazingly talented, and he taught himself a strange and unique magic technique that devoured flesh and blood, and his physical skills were super strong. ”

"Who are you?"

Thor stopped abruptly, his face solemn.

The Chimeng woman said with a smile:

"Didn't I just introduce me, my name is Duoduo-. ”

"Antas, I'm out of this fight. ”

Thor said coldly, immediately staring at the woman and slowly retreating.

Stopping Antas, who was about to speak, Black Pearl glanced at Duoduo, and quietly watched Thor's movements.

It wasn't until he realized that Thor was very resolute, so he put away his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said seriously:

"Bazar, it's my brother!"

Thor stopped.

Unwilling to give up the totem and disgusted with learning magic, he left the family. ”

"You rescued them?"

Thor's words had no beginning or tail, but he knew that the woman in front of him understood.

"Me and the other siblings. ”

"When he left the city of Güell, he and the Hill boy disappeared. ”

In the end, Duoduo looked at Thor, and his tone was not cold, nor gentle:

"You hurt him so badly. ”

Thor shrugged his shoulders and said casually:

"Hurting him was a mistake, and I'm going to kill them. ”

Duoduo's face changed suddenly.

A few minutes later.

After registering the information of the long journey, several people left the Maple Grove Castle in a strange atmosphere.

They had to head north out of the maple grove and then overland east, a journey that would take about three days.

In fact, time is mainly wasted on this part of the road in the maple forest.

Ordinary horses do not survive for more than a few minutes in the maple forest, and the roads of the primeval forest are not suitable for cars.

So only on foot.

On the way, Saul realized that the leader of this operation was not Antas, but Duoduo.

And these three people are all members of the Red Maple Society.

Although she was a little dissatisfied, since she had invited her, Duoduo calmed down and began to add details that Antas had not said.

Thor also knew more information, and sighed:

"This time it's not small!"

Twenty fighters from each side of the bet were drawn to capture the flag on a desert island.

The commission is twenty black magic stones, and if you win, there will be magic scrolls as an additional reward;

The arbiter of the Magic Guild is a magician with the title of "Thunder Beast", and a mid-level magician who follows him is a well-known bounty hunter;

The two families of the gambling fight are GLP, who inherited the name of "Sandstorm", and Brutus, who inherited the name of "Fire Dragon".

The territory of these two families is bordered, and they are both relatively tough, so small frictions often occur.

The gold mine is just the fuse that completely stimulates the grievances of the past.
