For gladiators like Zhang Long, the draft battle is the best chance to get rid of the rookie name. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThey will fight against rookies from other clans, and only with their first career victory in this match can they truly be recognized by the other gladiator brothers. So when Kayzon announced the news, every rookie was ready to show off his skills and prove himself.

For a trainer like Isenhard, the draft battle is an incomparably big problem. The significance of this battle was much more profound than it literally: like the Battle of Xinding, it was not a real public game, and there were not many ordinary people in spectators, mainly aristocrats or gentry. They often have initial investment goals in place after the new Ding battle, and they are waiting to make a final decision after watching this game. If the rookie battle is a audition, then the draft battle can be regarded as an official entry into the knockout round.

Therefore, the roster of the draft battle is no longer determined by a lottery that can be easily cheated, but the result agreed upon by those nobles and gentry after the game. In this way, who is in the favor of the battle list depends largely on the network power behind the various trainers, and Isenhard is clearly the weakest one in the background.

"I did my best. "Lady Elena said. On the evening of the eve of the tournament, they meet secretly in an inconspicuous tavern, and Yelena still wears a high-pointed hat and looks like a wizard, covering her face with the brim: "Your people will avoid Makqin's gothic, after all, the contradictions between the two of you are well known, and no one will support Makqin's wishful thinking of using his strengths to defeat yours. But I can't help the other combinations, the list is for you, you can solve it yourself. 」

As she spoke, she pulled out a hand-copied note and handed it to Esenhard. The trainer solemnly took it, opened it, looked at it, and asked, "Do you know the details of those opponents?"

"Not optimistic. Elena said, "Fekchuma was so good in the Xinding battle that the other trainers were eyeing him and conspired together to pick out the toughest opponent for him: Kraderau of the Makqin family. That guy is a step man, he was originally a soldier, he was demoted to a slave after a serious violation of military discipline, the foundation is very good, and he doesn't need the direct mark of Xinding's training, so we didn't see him in Xinding Zhan. Zhang Long's opponent is the classical style of the Powell family, called Baie, we have all seen it, the consciousness is very good, and the Xinding battle is overwhelmingly won. It seems that they want you to continue to wear the hat of "Phalanx is not good". 」

Isenhard nodded, "The Antestig's opponents were fairly well chosen, and it seems that they are mainly targeting the best of my men. 」

Elena glanced at him and choked, "Didn't I encourage those sluts to blow the pillow wind and do you a great favor?"

Esenhard smiled wryly, "Well, it looks like I'll have to reward Alfonso and them when I go back...... Chelsal's opponent, this ...... Tony of the Balstine family, do you know something?"

"I don't know, no clue at all. Yelena shook her head, "I only know that it's an Ambaru, newly bought from the dock slave market. Can't be taken lightly, the Balstine family never trains new kids, and has always only bought hands, and has a very good eye. 」

Esenhard nodded, shook hands with the Baroness and turned to leave the tavern, then went straight back to his mansion and summoned Fei Quma, Zhang Long, and Hai Shan to meet him at the gate.

"You three, come with me to meet an old friend. Esenhard asked the family to bring a carriage and sat them in with the three gladiators, informing them in the most concise and concise terms of what they were going to face tomorrow.

"Don't worry, master!" Phyruma was confident, "It doesn't matter if he's a Krader or something, he'll kill him with an axe!"

Hassana echoed, "Yes, master, don't worry, don't forget that I'm from Kurast, and I've probably seen more Ambaru people than you, so I know what is going on with them!"

Zhang Long held back for a long time, and only said, "I'll do my best. He could already hear the meaning of Esenhard's words: the three of them had already been targeted by their rivals, and those trainers had colluded with the nobles and gentry of the upper class to arrange their strongest opponents, and it seemed that they must nip these three possible rising stars in the bud. Fetsuma's confidence naturally has an element of recklessness, and Hassan's is more of a sycophant, but he himself is really a little apprehensive.

The carriage stopped in the red-light district of the southern district, and Esenhard led the three men out of the car, ordered the family to wait at the street corner, and then led the gladiators into a brothel. When the little girl at the front desk saw Esenhard, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "Master, do you want to lead your men down to open meat again?"

"Not today. I know that Eresa is in it, and I have invited her account, whether she is happy enough or not, let her come out for me quickly!" said Esenhard, shoving a gold coin into her little sister's pocket. She hesitated, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of money and ran inside. After a long while, I saw a beautiful black-haired woman with a very hot body and a wild eyebrows and eyes walking out of the corridor in disheveled clothes.

"Isenhard, you'd better give me a reason!" The woman was drunk and tied her skirt for a long time, and her tone was obviously dissatisfied: Who can be happy to be interrupted doing this thing? She finally tidied up her dress, proudly raised her beautiful face, looked at the three people behind Esenhard, and said with a smile: "It's for them, why did you kick me out? Even if you have a crush on the same girl as this king, you can play together!"

Esenhard snorted, ignored her, walked quickly to the bar and asked the little girl at the front desk who had just walked over and was standing, "Is there any sobering soup?" The little sister hurriedly poured a cup and handed it to Isenhard, the trainer didn't say a word, took the cup, reached out and pinched the nose of the drunk woman and poured it hard for her.

The woman coughed for a while, and when she woke up for the most part, her expression was even more unhappy, and she pointed to Esenhard's nose and complained, "Why are you running so late to disturb this king's chick?"

Zhang Long was dumbfounded: women run to brothels to play with women, this kind of scene does not appear much even in American dramas, and even if there is, most of the victims are five big and three thick men's wives, how can there be such a hot stunner? And this woman is "this king" when she opens and closes her mouth, can she be a prince-level nobleman? But if it is really such a noble existence, how can Esenhard have the courage to pinch her nose directly?

"Alright, 'Your Majesty,' don't make a fuss!" said Esenhard, teasingly, throwing a few gold coins at the front desk to pay the woman's bill, and then pulled her out of the brothel by his sleeve. Zhang Long and the other three followed behind, seeing Esenhard stuffing the woman into the carriage, and beckoned the three of them to get on the carriage as well.

"Hey, Hassan, meet again!" As soon as the three of them got into the car door, the woman waved to Hassan, apparently they had known each other before, probably when Isenhard sent him out on an errand.

The carriage went all the way, but the atmosphere in the carriage was very lively, first of all, Hai Shan introduced solemnly: "Fetsuma, Zhang Long, this is the daughter of the famous Brian, the descendant of the illustrious Cooper family, the king of the blacksmiths of Candras, Miss Iresa!"

What? "King of Blacksmiths"? What the hell is this? Zhang Long listened to one head and two big. The woman laughed heartily and said, "It's all nonsense in front, remember that I am the master of the Black Iron Crown, the king of the blacksmiths of Candras, and even the Griswa of Tristram has to bow when he sees me!" Zhang Long was a little surprised: it really meant literally, it seemed that the blacksmiths of Candras seemed to have established an organization larger than the guild, and they actually had the concept of "king" and "crown". After thinking about it further, Zhang Long couldn't help but be surprised: This woman is more powerful than Griswa?

Griswald, known to those who have played Diablo for the first and second generations, is a legendary blacksmith who lives in Tristram, the capital of Candras, and the creator of the game's ultimate Paladin's suit. If this woman can be better than him, wouldn't she be able to build better equipment? And it seems that she has a pretty good relationship with her boss, so won't her future equipment be lost?Hey, wait, her name ......

Ellesa, another inconspicuous low-level set in Diablo II: "Elesa's Finishing Mill"!

In the game's forums, some of the more serious parties like him have debated the meaning of this equipment, and some people believe that "Iresa" is a woman's name, and there must be something wrong with the translation of the set name as "finishing mill", it should be "Huarobe". Now that he had traveled to the dark world and seen this "Iresa" deity, it dawned on him: it turned out that this word was a pun! The king of blacksmiths, it must be normal for blacksmiths to have a fine milling furnace, and it is even more natural for the king to wear a gorgeous robe.

Solved a big question before the crossing, Zhang Long is still very happy, and this Elesa, looks really eye-catching, her temperament is different from those women she has seen before, in one word, it is "spicy"!

Belch...... It may also ...... Closer than the average friend?Because she was putting her claws on Fetsuma's crotchcloth, hehe smiled and said, "Yes, you are a big North guy, as compensation for your master's interruption of my good deed, will you stay with me tonight?"

The barbarian was completely stupid, his eyes were straight, and his mouth with a frozen smile made a "hehe, hehe" sound. Zhang Long also felt that his values had completely collapsed: What's the matter with this woman, both men and women eat it!

"That's enough!" Isenhard whispered, "Iressa, enough is enough, he's the one who's going to be on the field tomorrow! 」

Iresa pouted, "A hundred old women have ridden rotten things to fool me, no way, call Nadya or Suina, this king has coveted them for a long time!"

"You're enough...... "Isenhard smoked, "here, get off, there's no old bird and no crotch, only money, money, you know?"

Amid Iresa's protests, the crowd got out of the car and headed for a blacksmith's shop, apparently Elesa's lair. Esenhard gestured to the car-driver, who obediently opened the warehouse at the bottom of the carriage and took out a box, and followed the group into the blacksmith's shop. Iresa whistled and snapped her fingers, and the torches on the wall lit up in unison, and the room was brightly lit.

Wow, Zhang Long secretly exclaimed: she can actually do magic! Magic blacksmith, no wonder she can be king!

The chest was placed on the ground, and Esenhard reached out to open it, and inside was an axe blade, a spear head, and a short spearhead, the key parts of the three gladiators' weapons. Esenhard looked at Eresa, first handed her the list, and then said very seriously, "The three of them are my favorite newcomers, and you have seen their games, do you think you have any chances of winning against these guys?"

Iresa finally got serious, and after looking at it for a long time, she said, "It's not too big. Credlaw, Beye, and Tony are not fuel-efficient lamps, and you and Elena may not find much of it, but the intelligence of our blacksmith circle is clear. The strength of the three of them is no less than that of ordinary second-tier gladiators, and we are all surprised that they were forced into the draft, and now when we see this list, it can be regarded as clear that it was originally aimed at you. 」

"In that case, then please arm the three of them well, reforge their weapons, and help them win. Isenhard said, tossing a knack. Iresa's palm flipped on the spot, and with two clicks, static sparks flashed, and he had already taken it in his hand, and it turned out to be a beautifully carved magic rune stone.

"An Eddard, you're so generous!" Ileza smiled brightly, "Tell the three of you, what type of weapon do you want? 」

"I want to be domineering!" said Fetsuma excitedly, "the kind that can break people's bones!"

"It's not worth the price of breaking bones so easily," said Elleza, "but it's easy to be domineering. What about you, Haishan?"

"I'm sharp, right...... No, I want it to be a little lighter, I'm not that strong, you know. Hayson hesitated and replied.

"It's easy, it's up to you next, Sensai. If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Zhang Long, right? Xinding fought well, but he had to be more decisive in his attack. Iresa turned to Zhang Long and said in a guiding tone.

"Thank you, Miss Iresa...... Oh no, Your Majesty. Zhang Long was a little nervous: "I want to ...... Make my spear faster, I don't know if it's clear, it's ...... Is there any way to make it a little more flexible in its moves and receiving?"

Zhang Long, who is proficient in the game's setting, has already heard some mystery from the dialogue between the first two: this seems to be the magic modifier equipped in the game! Iresa only asked them to make one request each, which was obviously to create a blue suit with a word affix for each of them. Fetsuma's request to break human bones was supposed to be the most useful "crushing strike" in the game, and this attribute could not appear on regular modifiers, so it was rejected at once. And Hysan's desire for a lighter weapon is a very common modifier, and Eresa agrees very happily. So he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to be greedy first, and ask for the "increase attack speed" modifier that would be most useful for spear users, and even for all physical attack players.

Sure enough, Iresa's eyes widened, and she laughed and said, "Well, boy, you are greedy enough, and this king remembers you. It's the first time I've seen someone with such powerful performance at once! Esenhard, you've made a lot of money, and an Ed can't even buy him a weapon! Okay, I'm going to work, just send someone to pick it up before the game tomorrow. 」

Eresa gave the order to evict the guests, and Isenhard and his party set out on their return journey. Tomorrow's battle is definitely a tough bone for Zhang Long and them, but if they can win, they will definitely get more than they imagined.
