Chapter 18: The God of the Arena (5)

What's the matter? Why did he suddenly make a 180-degree turn when he had just taken the honor of the Champion and the Chosen One as light as a feather?

Bollis, Altyn, and Eufrittin looked at Gu Shiyu with puzzled expressions on their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Gu Shiyu nodded at them and said, "I am not only fighting for my honor, but also for your honor, and for all my friends who support me." What could be more important than that?"

The bankers stood up and said, "Then the game will be set in three days, and I hope you will prove to the world that you are the chosen one." ā€

York also stood up and said: "Gu Shiyu, although I was defeated by your men, thanks to your kindness and generosity, you did not execute me, but I will not show mercy to my subordinates because of this, you will see what my true strength is!"

Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to it." ā€

The Bankers and York left, while the White Priest and Boris remained in the chamber.

Eric sighed, "You have seen that the Holy Light Island is very calm on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging underground. Although the Imperial Council is said to be the highest authority on the island of Light, in fact, the bankers are secretly plotting to control the situation on the island of light. We think the contest is fair and reasonable, but they are stirring up objections from ignorant citizens. They are not asking for fairness and justice, but only for their own benefit. If you win, it means they're going to lose a huge amount of money, which they absolutely don't want to see. For the sake of fairness and justice, for the sake of the future of the Isle of Light, I hope that you will thwart their plot in the arena and defend your honor and dignity. ā€

"I will. ā€

"They will not be idle for three days, they will certainly be plotting some vile and shameless schemes, and I strongly advise you to stay in the Capitol before the game begins, lest you fall for their tricks. My elite guards can keep them out of the Capitol and arrange for someone to try your food and water, so you don't have to worry about your safety. ā€

"But if York uses magic to fight Gu Shiyu, he will be very powerful. I'm worried that the rain won't be able to beat York. Pollis voiced her concerns.

"Yes, York is indeed the most powerful of the five of you, especially when he is equipped with the Angel Alliance. But Gu Shiyu is the real chosen one, and he has not yet discovered all his potential. What's more, he also possesses the Tears of the Gods, a divine bow from hell, and even has the power to shoot the Gods, which is why it was named the Tears of the Gods. Gu Shiyu still has a chance to win, and I believe that the gods will protect him and will never let him lose!"

This is the first time that Borris, Altyn and Everyfretin have heard from an authority that Gu Shiyu is the chosen one. They became excited and looked at Gu Shiyu with admiration.

The Prophet paced slowly and said, "Nevertheless, he needs your help. The battle in the arena will be the most brutal ever. Only by winning ten consecutive Challenges will you be eligible to stand at the top of the arena and take on the ultimate challenge. ā€

"Tell me, how can we help him?" said Eufritin.

"York will definitely take the Angel Alliance into battle, and Gu Shiyu's Angel Alliance is still missing a prophetic sword. So from the point of view of equipment, Gu Shiyu has the upper hand. But you are all very powerful heroes in the whole world, and your vast combat experience and unmatched fighting skills can help him turn the tide very well. Are you willing to selflessly teach him your combat experience and skills?"

"Yes, we are even willing to protect him with our own lives, to protect the Chosen One, if the need arises. Alkin and Eufritin, holding their right hands in front of their left chests, stroking their beating hearts and vowing.

"Me too!" Boris's expression was determined.

"Thank you!" Gu Shiyu said movingly: "I won't let you down." ā€

The arena, which had been dusted for more than twenty years, was reopened, causing a huge stir on the island of Light. While there are a lot of good people who disagree with this, the gore and cruelty also excite a lot of people. Some of them are retired or active fighters, some are young people who want to become warriors or heroes, and some of them are unable to swing their swords like strong warriors, but they pin all their expectations on the fighters they support, imagining that they are standing in the arena and fighting, enjoying the adoration and cheers of the crowd.

The latest figures of the two contestants have also been released:

The do-gooders compared the combined stats of the two one by one, and came up with York's combined skill points as:

43 Offense, 40 Defense, 38 Magical Power, 34 Knowledge

Gu Shiyu's comprehensive skill points are more difficult to calculate, because no one knows which set of equipment he will choose to play.

Choose equipment one, Gu Shiyu's comprehensive skill points are:

Offense 28, Defense 28, Magical Power: 27, Knowledge 26

The advantage of choosing this set is that it can equip the Holy Blood Vial, which automatically heals and restores stamina.

Choosing equipment two, Gu Shiyu's comprehensive skill values are almost close to 35, the advantage is that he can overcome the magic of level 1 to 4, and the disadvantage is that he cannot equip the holy blood vial.

The two men are strong and weak, and the people in the tavern quarrel with each other.

"Of course York is strong, his comprehensive skills are much higher than Gu Shiyu, not to mention that he has studied magic for so long in the Blancada School of Magic!

"But after York left the Blancada School of Magic, he vowed not to use magic again!"

"You're wrong, York used magic to fight Boris in the siege match! When York and Gu Shiyu duel for the first time, York promised not to use magic in order to prevent Gu Shiyu from using the Tears of the Gods, and he was defeated by Gu Shiyu. According to reliable sources revealed by the bankers' servants, in the arena, York will not be bound by his own oath and will definitely use magic to fight Gu Shiyu. ā€

"But if Gu Shiyu is equipped with the dragon king's divine power, York's magic advantage will not be brought into play. ā€

"Then York can still use top-level magic, he can summon the elements to fight for him, or use thunder bombs to attack Gu Shiyu!"

"The question is whether York's mana reserves will last until the final two-man showdown. ā€

"It should be possible. If York had run out of magic reserves after the tenth challenge, Gu Shiyu would have run out of them. In terms of fighting skills, Gu Shiyu is definitely no match for York. ā€

"But Gu Shiyu has the tears of the gods, which is a treasure that everyone is afraid of......"

"The two were at the same pace, both at peak shape. If Gu Shiyu can't get rid of York, how can he use his bow and arrow to carry out long-range attacks?"

"In that case, in the end, York should win!"

"Yes, everyone has always been optimistic about York, and he will definitely beat Gu Shiyu. ā€

"Then let's keep betting on York, but it's a pity that the fools who bet on Borris, Altyn and Eufrittin are gone. ā€

"yes, I was still betting on Boris, which is unlucky. ā€

"Haha, this is not a competition, who can have a child, why bet on her?"

Everyone in the tavern burst out laughing.

"Did you find it, how can Gu Shiyu learn twelve skills? Isn't a hero only able to learn eight skills at most?"

"Yes, I feel strange too. Some people say that he is very talented and has obtained two sparks. ā€

ā€œ...... How so? He's not really the Chosen One, is he?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" the people in the tavern cried angrily: "He is a despicable and shameless liar, how can he be the Chosen One!"

"Hey, do you know what monsters are going to be fighting them in the arena?"

Yesterday there were several large ships with at least a hundred werewolves, lizard-shooters, monitor lizards, and bison. ā€

"There were also dozens of ogres and cyclops in the evening. ā€

"What kind of ultimate monster is the tenth level?"

"I heard that I was going to get some phoenixes and golden dragons to fight, but I was afraid that these flying creatures would escape, so I probably chose Hydra or Beamon Behemoth. ā€

"Oh my God, I hope they make it to the tenth level and don't get killed by the monsters early, otherwise there will be nothing to look at. ā€

In the dark corner of the tavern sat a man in a black robe, slightly diminutive. I could see her face a little clearly by the red light from someone else's pipe, hey, wasn't that Renesas?

As Ressa stepped off the boat, she was stopped and whispered by the gray-robed shaman sent by the chief priest Eric.

That's when Ressa learned that the bankers wanted to arrest her for cheating. If they really caught her, wouldn't she be beaten? Ressa was startled and hurriedly hid in the crowd.

She lingered in front of the Capitol for a long time, but the Capitol was heavily guarded and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

The tens of thousands of tickets in the arena have long been sold out, and now to buy tickets to watch the competition, you can only buy black market tickets from scalpers.

But how can Renesas still have so much money? There is no money for dinner yet.

Dinner has to be settled, and admission tickets have to be obtained.

But where do you get it? If you can't do it, you have to steal it.

This little girl's hands and feet are very neat, not to mention that she can walk on the trees, and she has the ability to fly on the eaves and walk on the wall.

However, the punishment of the thieves on the island of light is very severe, and if they are caught, they will all cut off their arms, and they will be shackled in the square for a day.

Cutting off the arm is already frightening, and it will be shackled for a day, and I will die of shame.

Renesas walks aimlessly through the bazaar. There had been a few old men who had walked past her, and their money bags were faintly peeking out of their waists, and they only needed to reach out and touch them. But Renesas hesitated, and the opportunity was fleeting.

"Don't steal them. Renesa swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, "Look at their gray hair, it's not easy to make money, maybe there are still many people in the family waiting for them to buy food and go back." If you want to steal, you have to steal from the bankers, they have a lot of money, and it doesn't matter if you steal a little. ā€

But the bankers never came to the bazaar, and the people who came to such places were ordinary people. Renesa finally spotted a gorgeous carriage on the street and hurriedly followed, both happy and nervous.

There were also a few big men with big shoulders and round waists and unshaven beards around the carriage, who looked very fierce, but I was afraid that they were this person's bodyguards.
