The Colosseum, one of the most iconic buildings in the god-given city of Kempera, is also the main venue for important festivals, celebrations and large-scale events.

In particular, the "factional wars" held in the last two months of each year attract a large number of residents from surrounding city-states and countries to watch.

The large number of immigrants means that more food and resources are consumed, and it also stimulates an already thriving trade.

Not to mention, hotels, pubs and restaurants are already overcrowded, and some late arrivals have to rent private houses.

If we follow the statistics of modern economics, the GDP from October to December is probably much higher than the sum of the previous nine months.

Everywhere in the streets and alleys, you can see guys dressed in characteristic ethnic costumes, some of them alone, some with their whole families, and some even with dozens of heavily armed guards and servants.

In addition, many rare non-human intelligent beings have also begun to appear in the city.

For example, a few minutes ago, Lu Li saw a special creature with silver eyes flashing with silver light, which could be transformed into anything he saw through observation, whether the other party was male or female, old or young, human or animal......

Just as he was amazed at the astonishing changes the city had shown in recent days, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder from behind.

"Hey, Captain, don't be in a daze! we're here!" Agnes reminded aloud, waving a staff made of the Trickster's Horn.

"Arrived, so soon?"

Lu Li hurriedly raised his head, and sure enough, he found that not far in front of him was the entrance to the back door of the Grand Arena.

A lion man was sitting in a chair, yawning boredly, as he handed random numbered badges from wooden boxes to adventurers who had come to participate in the knockout round.

Those who get the number plate will enter two rooms according to the odd and even numbers to wait for the second round of the draw, and whoever wins the lottery will arrange a match, and the winner will enter the next round of the round, and the person who wins three consecutive games will qualify.

I have to say that this is a relatively fair way to eliminate, after all, even if you are lucky, it is impossible to encounter the weak in all three games.

Glancing at the sparse waiting crowd, Diodorus smiled and said, "Captain, you and Agnes wait here slowly, let's go to the audience to cheer you on." I believe that with your strength, it will not be a problem to pass the knockout round. ”

"Uncle, come on!meow!" Meow Lori waved her small fist vigorously.

"Captain, take it easy and try not to show too much strength. Apollonios pretended to be very experienced.

"Hehe, okay, I got it. ”

Lu Li smiled disapprerovingly, carrying the heavy giant sword on his back, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he came to the back of the silver group team.

Agnes, who had already qualified for the battle, went straight through the passage, handed over her number plate, and then disappeared at the end of the entrance under the guidance of the staff.

Hearing the deafening shouts and cheers erupting from time to time in the arena, Lu Li suddenly had the illusion of being in the ancient Roman era.

It's just that the gladiators are fighting their own kind and beasts, and he is up against adventurers with mysterious supernatural powers.

If the situation allows, he doesn't want to expose the transformation ability of his new weapon "Elemental Reaper" too early, and is ready to use the half-hung swordsmanship he has learned in the recent period to defeat his opponent with the two attributes of wind and fire.

Of course, melee combat has never been Lu Li's strong point, and he knows that very well, so the best way to do it is to surprise him.

While he was silently thinking about the battle strategy, the team slowly moved forward, and before he knew it, he was at the front.

The lion man who was in charge of handing out the number plates saw Lu Li, and immediately showed a surprised expression: "Huh, isn't this a watcher? When will you come back?" Ryan also made a bet with me two days ago, saying that you will definitely catch up to participate in the knockout round, and it seems that this time he won. ”

"I've been a bit short of time lately, so could you please do me a favor and help me put together the three knockout matches. ”

Although Lu Li couldn't recognize who the lion man in front of him was, he still judged from his tone that the other party must be Ryan's relative, and he planned to try to see if he could go through the "back door".

"Three games a day, no rest, are you sure?" the lionman opened his mouth wide, his eyes shining in disbelief.

You must know that adventurers with similar strength will consume a lot of magic and physical strength in each battle, and it is impossible to recover without a good rest for a whole day.

Like this, three games a day either have absolute confidence in your own strength, or you are arrogant to the extreme.

Lu Li nodded lightly: "I'm sure! It's best to play three games together, it's really not okay to arrange three opponents to play together at the same time, I hope to get the qualification before noon." ”

"You're such a madman! Okay, I'll put three fights together. Here, this is the number plate, you don't have to go to the lottery, just go inside and wait. The lionman threw a wooden sign with otherworldly symbols written on it on the table.

"Thank you!"

Lu Li politely bowed, picked up the sign and walked into the dim passage, and after about two or three minutes, his eyes suddenly opened up.

At the end of the passage was a simple stand made of marble, and all the contestants who were ready to play sat on the steps, watching the battle going on on the field while patiently waiting for their appearance.

Through the intricately carved guardrails, he saw that in the center of the arena, two adventurers were staging a wonderful competition.

One of them is the beautiful young girl Agnes, who constantly fuses wind and fire to unleash an incredibly powerful explosion, shockwaves and rubble scatter in all directions, and even with the protection of defensive magic, the heat wave can still be clearly felt in the audience.

As for the other side, a rather young female elf, who looks less than a hundred years old, fights through the vitality generated by the fusion of earth and water attributes, and quickly allows the magical plant seeds she carries to take root and sprout, and in the blink of an eye, the bare ground becomes a tropical jungle.

In particular, vines covered with stingers are estimated to lose their combat effectiveness as long as they are scratched a little bit.

The two of them create one and destroy the other, both of which are the type that pursues large-scale killing, so the visual effects are very gorgeous, which makes the audience addicted.

However, anyone with a little knowledge can see that if this battle is not unexpected, the son of the forest, Suma, will lose.

Because he needs to maintain so many plants, the mana consumption must be much faster, and Agnes only needs to hold out until the opponent's mana is exhausted, and naturally he can win the final victory.
