Section 3 Arena City: Tirtin

As the autumn sun shone brightly, Alicia, Daron and Melua were resting halfway up a small hill, while their horses were tethered to graze. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Because Talon chose a road that was both quick and easy, it was not too hard for everyone to stop and go along the way. At this moment, Alicia sat calmly under the tree, untied the kettle at her waist, and took a few sips to her mouth. Daron took out the whetstone and began to sharpen his sword, while Merus looked at the back of their path with a worried expression.

A dark blue black-maned horse dragged the haggard Kelloa slowly, and when it reached the nearest tree to Alicia, Kelloa couldn't wait to rub off the horse's back, held his waist, staggered to the shade of the tree, found the most lush part of the grass, carefully landed on one knee, and then carefully put the side of his buttocks up, and the tangled expression on his face relaxed a little.

"What's the way you look about constipation and hemorrhoids?" Daron saw Kyllloa's painful appearance, and felt as uncomfortable as swallowing someone else's snot

"How many years ago was the last time I rode a horse, and my waist and ass were falling apart!" Kelloa grumbled, rubbing his waist and grimacing.

"Sage, are you uncomfortable?" Merus came to Kyle with a shy face, and sat down on her knees with her hands on the ground, and anyone who looked at it could spell out the hairs on the girl's face at the moment, "I'm worried about you."

Kyrloa's eyes accidentally glanced at the position of Meluvia's chest, and remembering that he had violated the girl's sanctuary with his hands in the morning, he couldn't help but turn his head and said as if he had squeezed words out of his teeth, "No...... I...... It's okay!"

"What's okay? My face is red, and if it hurts, I can say it, we can rest for a while. Daron said it cheerfully, but it drew a vicious glance from Kyeloa.

Daron didn't understand Kyle's displeasure at all, but what he didn't understand was how the atmosphere between the master and apprentice had become so greasy and crooked overnight.

Alicia quietly observed the others, seemingly drinking water one sip at a time, but in fact, because she couldn't help but grin, the water ran down the corners of her mouth.

"Sage-sama, if your ass really hurts...... "Melueva said as she grabbed her cheek with one hand and twisted her body, "do you want to...... I'm going to rub it for you?"

Kylloa didn't speak, falling into a state of rigidity. Alicia squirted out the water that had not yet been swallowed, and Daron was startled by the girl's overly caring words, and he turned his head to Alicia with some envy and said:

"Alicia, my butt hurts a little too. ”

"Do you want me to kick your feet for you?"

"Hmm~ It doesn't hurt anymore now, thank you!"

After a proper rest and regrouping, the four continued on their way. After a stretch of winding mountain roads and forests, and after crossing a hill, a huge city was visible on the plain.

It was a spectacular sight for Alicia, as the city was built on a vast freshwater lake, like an island. The city is a small circle of its own, and the shape of the lake is a large circle, but because the city is located close to the land below, the lake that surrounds the city is shaped like a moon with a slight loss, and it is also like a round cake that has been bitten. Where the city is adjacent to the land, the lake is narrow, and a bridge spanning 100 meters becomes the only entrance and exit to the city.

Looking at the place where Alicia is located, you can see that there is a huge circular gladiatorial arena in the center of the city, covering an area of about one-twentieth of the entire city, which is also quite imposing.

The concept of a city and a town is completely different. The town is an area where the main function is to accommodate a small number of residents, and there are also trading places such as bazaars, hotels, and arms dealers, but the main purpose is to make people live. The difference between the city is that in addition to the function of making people habitable, there is also a certain trade and commercial value. Cities are often built on the mainland, and trade is more frequent, so commerce and economy are more developed, especially the port city, which can be said to be the trading hub of Galbadia.

Because of this development, the city is dozens of times larger than the town, and in order to manage such a huge place, the state will set up a mayor's office and a security department for each city. The town also has a mayor, but he doesn't have any power. The power of the mayor is to manage the economy and personnel of the city, and at the same time, he has the authority to control the local guards.

"That's Tirtin. Daron said happily that the three days of the trek were coming to an end, and everyone was smiling because they would soon be able to take a hot shower and lie down in bed.

The four of them quickened their pace, and finally stepped on the ground, and suddenly, as far as the eye could see, Alicia saw a large number of passers-by, some of them were on their way to the city, and some had just come out of the city. A carriage passed by Alicia, and the children in the carriage waved happily at her, and Alicia smiled at the woman holding the child in response.

Finally, they came to the huge bridge that connected the land and the city, the bridge was made of wood, and the handrails on the side were covered with chains at intervals, and in the event of a crisis, the bridge should be able to be suspended, so as to achieve the purpose of sealing off the city.

Because there were many travelers coming and going, the four of Alicia chose to dismount and move forward. Alicia looked left and right, a column of pigeons swept across the sky in a neat formation, fish were faintly visible under the lake, the trees on the road across the bank were low, and the oncoming autumn breeze carried the fragrance of nature.

Turning her eyes straight ahead, a large iron door opened inward, and for a moment Alicia had no way of knowing how big it was, as her neck ached from looking up at the top of the door.

After being inspected by the two soldiers at the gate, everyone entered the interior of the city without any problems. As far as the eye can see, the crowds of people and the endless stream of pedestrians are eye-opening, after all, this is not a small town like Fermoran that can be ridden in about ten minutes, and there are quite a lot of people gathered here.

Being in it, Alicia felt that this city was a little too big, although in her memory, the royal capital Yebasta was much bigger than this, but whatever it was, Alicia now just wanted to take a good look at the lively city of Tirtyn in front of her.

On the top of the building in front of her, the sharp corners of the arena came out in the distance, after all, it was a large place that took up one-twentieth of the city's floor area, and Mei Lufa now thought to herself, when it was settled, the first thing she would do was to run to see what should be considered a magnificent building.

"Why is it so lively, it must be in time for some kind of event?" said Daron with some surprise, he had been to Tirtyn City a few times before, but he had never encountered so many people.

"Oh, if it's an event, how can I miss my share!" said Alicia, full of energy.

"Just ask someone after that. Okay~ We have a lot of things to do in this city, where to go first?" Except for Alicia, everyone is a voting hotel, and Alicia has to go to the Adventurers' Guild first.

"It's your money, you can't fly, so let's go to a resting place first. Kyeloa, the eldest in the group, finally got her mind, and Alicia was afraid of his naturally fierce face, so she could only obediently agree.

Around a quarter of the city, a hotel on the east side of the arena called "Solar Manor" ended up winning the favor of the four. It is a high-rise building with five floors, but even through the windows of the rooms on the fifth floor, you can only see the solid stone walls outside the arena, and you can't see any corners of the arena.

As a building that occupies one-twentieth of the city, the scale of the arena reflects the special significance of Tirtyn as a city. Tirtin's various industries were able to flourish, and a large part of them came from the income of this arena.

The outer wall of the arena is as tall as a city wall, and around this outer wall is a circle of circular wide passages used for the market. Here, vendors selling a wide variety of snacks and goods of all sizes gather and are bustling with activity.

Four rooms were booked in the "Solar Manor", and after everyone unloaded their luggage, they all gathered in the restaurant on the first floor. Even though it's daytime, there are a lot of people gathered here.

"Lady, four beers!" said Alicia, as she sat down around a four-corner table. Although the four of them were all trying to moisten their thirsty throats immediately, as soon as Kylloa heard the word "wine", a little fear involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Alicia, you and Meleva are both underage, so it's better not to drink. Kylloa wanted to use this reason to get Alicia to change the alcoholic drink to something else, but Alicia had already guessed a rough idea when she saw Kylloya's expression, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Kyloa, you're worried about us, but you actually don't want to drink bar?" Alicia deliberately pointed, making Kylloa embarrassed.

“...... Drinking alcohol keeps the mind from clear, which is not a good thing for magicians. ”

"Oh~ You're right, if you don't have a clear mind, you may not even be able to distinguish your own bed. Seeing that Alicia meant something, Meleva suddenly showed a shy expression and lowered her red face.

“...... Drink less. For the bad Alicia, Kylloa finally had no choice but to compromise.

In this way, everyone quenched their thirst and rested while chatting freely. After all the topics were over, Kyeloa glanced at the long sword pinned to Alicia's waist, looked at Alicia meaningfully, and said:

"Alicia, take out the sword you got at the Necronomicon Mountain and show it to me. ”

After hearing this, Alicia obediently untied the long sword and put it on the table, and Kyeloa immediately picked it up, held it in his hand, and carefully examined it, and without the others knowing, transmitted a little bit of her own magic into it.

"What's wrong?" asked Alicia, puzzled.

"You said this sword was originally a magic sword, but now it's like this, right?" Kelloa shook the sword in his hand as he asked Daron and Alicia. Hearing the word magic sword, Mei Lufa's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at the sword.

"To be precise, in the beginning, it was a holy sword, then it became a magic sword after the prince became a demon, and now, it has become what you have in your hand. Daron added.

"Well, no wonder. Seeing that there was originally a little bit of holy light power left in his hand, but because of his short grasp, the long sword that actually began to emit a trace of electric light, Kellloa seemed to verify some guesses in his heart, nodded and said, "So, this is a sword whose attributes will be replaced by itself according to the magic power in the master's body." ”

“......”

“......”

Because Kylloa is immersed in his own thinking world, Alicia and Daron are confused. When Mei Lufa saw it, she reminded her teacher and said:

"Sage-sage, I don't think anyone will understand you when you say that......

"Oh, okay......" Kyeloa cleared his throat and slowed down his speech to speak his thoughts in as easy a way as possible to understand, "First of all, I think legends are exaggerated, and there is no weapon in this world that can change attributes according to the change of the owner's mood. This sword turned into a magic sword, which is supposed to have started when the Prince of the Undead fell and learned necromancy. At that time, the dark attribute magic in the prince's body flowed into this sword, transforming it from a holy attribute to a dark attribute. ”

"What is the holy attribute, and what is the dark attribute?" What she heard gradually surpassed Alicia's cognition, so she couldn't help but ask a question.

"There are only five kinds of elven powers in this world, earth, water, fire, wind, and thunder, but in fact, the god of light and darkness also left two attributes of mana all over the world, which we call the holy attribute mana and the dark attribute mana. The holy mana forms the sun and the moon, the dark mana forms the night and shadow, the holy mana represents life, and the dark mana represents death. Because the mana of these two attributes is directly attached to the two gods, the power that guides these manas is not called magic power, but divine power. ”

Seeing that Alicia was still puzzled, Kyeloa decided to skip these obscure contents and directly changed the topic and asked:

"Alicia, do you know the innate nature of human beings?"

Seeing Alicia shake her head, Kyeloa explained:

"The process of unleashing magic is the process of drawing the mana that exists in nature and adopting it for one's own use. Different people will have different fits for mana with different attributes. The higher the fit for a certain attribute, the easier it is for the body to condense the mana of that attribute, and the attribute with the highest fit is called the innate attribute. Some people have a high compatibility with ice-based mana, so they will be more suitable for using ice-based spells, such as my apprentice Merusa. ”

Hearing Kyeloa introduce herself, Melufa's tongue stuck out in embarrassment.

"And I'm good at thunder attribute magic, because my innate attribute is thunder. Kelloa said this, glanced at the long sword that had been placed on the table by him, shining with a faint silver light, and continued, "This is a wonderful weapon that can switch its own attributes according to the innate attributes of the sword bearer, the previous master was good at necromancy, so it became a magic sword, but just when I held it just now, I could feel a trace of the holy attribute Mana, I think, this is because Alicia, you are carrying it." ”

Her eyes widened, and Alicia didn't understand what Kyllloa meant, but Melevia, who was a magician, seemed to understand some clues and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Teacher, could it be that Alicia is ......?"

Seeing that Merus was so surprised, Daron panicked and said:

"What's wrong? What is Alicia?"

Nodding unhurriedly, Kyeloa looked at Alicia, who was a little flustered by her words, and said:

"Alicia, as far as I can guess, your innate attribute is holy. According to my years of historical research, you are the only one with this innate attribute other than the Holy Maiden of Light of Farris. ”
