Chapter Ninety-One: The Challenge of the Brave and Brave

The Ramp of the Light of Wisdom, even among professionals, is considered to be the path of the brave, and only the strong who have both courage and self-confidence dare to rush down the ramp. Of course, there are always people in the world who will save zĂ i, and there will always be some ordinary people who do not hesitate to use their lives as bargaining chips in pursuit of excitement, imitating professionals to rush down the ramp, so that most of them are dead, and there is often not necessarily a successful one among a thousand attempts.

Every professional has a body that far exceeds that of a normal person, even if it is the weakest mage in the profession, the strength, speed and reflexes are not comparable to an ordinary person, running down a sixty-degree slope, even if it is only a few tens of meters in height, for speed, balance, Coordination and on-the-spot reaction ability are a very strict test, not to mention this ramp of more than 1,000 meters, if you can't control your speed, when the frequency of the swing of your legs can't keep up with the speed of movement, or when the reaction is insufficient, and you trip over the gravel and weeds on the ground, the final result is to roll all the way down, and finally the body is crushed, maybe high-level professionals can barely save themselves, but low-level professionals and ordinary people have no chance of being spared, so maybe the country of mages calls this ramp the light ramp of wisdom, but in the Farrar Empire, this ramp used to have a more appropriate name- Death Ramp, and the canyon below is known as the Canyon of the Dead, only in the last few hundred years, the official name of the two places is no longer called the Death Ramp and the Canyon of the Dead, but the people often still maintain the original name.

More than 400 years ago, the Neutral Land was just established. At that time, the Falar Empire's external expansion was in a very strong stage, often waging small-scale wars abroad, and the country was also very unstable internally. Rebellions of the lords have become the norm. During this most chaotic time of the empire, a special kind of gambling was popular in the north of the empire, and each time one or two ordinary people would challenge this death ramp, with the success and failure of the challenger, and the time the loser held on as the content of the bet. Such a gamble is undoubtedly cruel, like the oldest gladiatorial arena, but it is also full of appeal. Those who fail to challenge will surely die, while those who succeed in the challenge will receive huge prizes. You can leap into the ranks of the rich. As a result, countless people have joined the game, both as challengers and as bettors, and everyone who has participated is engaged. Even some Black Iron Rank professionals joined in. Of course, the organizers or bookmakers are not idiots, since their success rate will be slightly higher than that of ordinary people, so their bonuses will be much less than those of ordinary people, but they can also be considered a good income. For this kind of gamble, initially the Farrar royal family did not care and did not intervene, but over time. After a few years, the gambling was played more and more frequently, most of the time. Nearly 100 people would die in the Canyon of the Dead in a month, and much of the ground below the ramp was soaked in coagulated blood.

In the face of the ultra-high mortality rate, the royal family of the Farar Empire finally couldn't sit still and began to announce the ban on this kind of gambling, but due to the lack of control of the royal family, there are still a large number of nobles who ignore it and still hold regular challenges. For this reason, the imperial family sent a request for help to the neutral place for the first time, asking the mercenary guild and the adventurer's guild to work together to ban the cruel gambling game, and the final result was that the gambling game was completely banned, and the neutral place was equivalent to being officially recognized by the Ferrar Empire, and at the same time showed its own strength, and since then no surrounding forces have ever fought the idea of a neutral place. The royal family of the Farlar Empire is the party with the greatest gains, taking advantage of this opportunity, the royal family has eliminated or weakened several of the most powerful families in the country, greatly strengthening the influence of the imperial power, and taking this opportunity to slowly stabilize the empire.

After that, Bout and Farrar joined forces to build a metal chain guardrail on the side of this wisdom light ramp, and if those who were not strong enough had to take this ramp, as long as they climbed the chain and rubbed it down a little bit, it took four or five hours, and there was a good chance that they could reach the ground along the lĂŹ. In this way, although the mortality rate of ordinary people and low-level professionals who follow this path is still very high, it is much better than the nearly 100 percent and 90 percent in the past.

Now stretching down in front of the girls is this ramp that was once covered in the flesh and blood of countless challengers who were tempted by money. The steep ramp is not flat, and the ramp is full of raised gravel, and the weathered stone shows sharp corners on the ground, like a sharp knife buried in the rock. The lower half of the ramp is slightly better, no longer bare rocks, but covered with grass, but sometimes the weeds become tangled and create natural obstacles that cause a lot of trouble.

"Be careful. Pannis took out seven pairs of gloves that had been bought in the Third Flame City and distributed them to everyone, the gloves were made of thick canvas, and a large number of thin wires were woven into the canvas with a special process, without affecting the dexterity of the fingers, the maximum length of the gloves was ensured, even if the hand held a sharp blade and cut hard, it would take a long time to destroy. Such gloves can be used to match the metal chain on the side of the steep slope to control the speed of the downward rush. While handing out gloves, Pannis said uneasily: "Catherine, you change your combat boots, your boots are embedded with metal at the bottom, which is not suitable for wearing now, you can change into ordinary boots, Vivian and Lina, you two roll up your robes a little, make sure that the hem does not exceed the knees, so as not to affect the movement of your legs, Freya, you must not use the anchor bolt on the ankle to slow down for a while, otherwise it will definitely roll down, Eva, you, oh, you are fine, you can still stay in the air." ”

"You've been infected by your eldest sister. Vivian snickered, although she listened carefully and took every instruction to heart, the mage girl couldn't help but tease: "In less than ten minutes, how many precautions have you already said, hehehe." ”

In fact, ridicule is ridicule, but the girls have a very strange feeling in their hearts about Pannis's nagging. The girls still remember clearly that just a year ago, whenever faced with a dangerous environment, although Pannis would also remind everyone of the main points and tell how to avoid danger, but almost never like in recent months, long-winded to say such a lot of content, but more after the reminder to feel at ease, only in the most dangerous time to remind a word, until the recent period, Pannis's long-winded time skyrocketed, this change in attitude, let the girls silently look in their eyes, remember.

"Remember the experience I had a while ago on the Whispering Swamp Sogu Tree Net, remember the point of running on it, and the feeling here is similar. Pannis slapped Vivien's soft hat with his hand, and continued to advise in the protest of the mage girl: "Never leave the range of the chain, make sure that you can grab the chain as soon as you raise your hand, if you feel that the speed is a little too fast, hold the chain for the first time and gradually slow down, rather slow down than let the speed get out of control, if you need to slow down, don't hesitate, accelerate too fast when you rush down, and the slightest hesitation may be out of control." Don't be nervous if you really get out of control, as long as you don't leave the chain, just hold on to the chain before you fall, well, if it's too fast, it may hurt your arm, but don't let go, as long as you hold the first impact, the rest will be much easier. Okay, that's basically it, it's best to go down one by one, so as not to have an accident, now I'll go down first, and check the firmness of the chain by the way, I don't want to go halfway down, and find that the chain has been rusted and broken, and I can't cry when the time comes. Moore, you are the last in line, and you can take care of it after I go down, and you can deal with any problems. By the way, I will notify you with the flashing of the powerful crystal lamp after I go down, and every time it flashes, it means that the previous person has landed safely, and the next person can set off. ”

"I can't stand you anymore. Moore said with a headache: "I beg you, hurry up, if you keep grinding, the moon is going to come out, really, how can a Legendary-level professional have problems here." ”

"Well, okay, I'll go. Pannis scratched his head, feeling a little annoying to himself, so he coughed dryly, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the edge of the cliff. The girls hurriedly gathered around and looked down, and through the twilight, they could see that Pannis was almost without stopping and running down the sixty-degree hillside, stepping on the solid stone face with every step, and after dozens of seconds, the back had turned into a small black dot in the girls' sight, and after a few seconds, even the small black dot became a blur.

"I'm reminded of Rachel, who is afraid of heights. Although facing the rather dangerous slope, the girls were still not a little afraid, but Lina still had the heart to jokingly say: "She will have weak legs at a height of dozens of meters, if I pull her here, I guess I will cry on the spot." It's decided, when we go back, tell her how we feel now, and her expression will be very exciting. ”

"She's going to hate you to death. Although she couldn't see Pannis, Catherine's eyes were still staring at the ramp uneasily, and she replied casually: "Be careful that she will find a way to get revenge on you." ”

"Haha, I'm not afraid. Lina tilted her head and said, "Besides, I'm just kind enough to share the experience of the trip with her, hehe." ”

Catherine rolled her eyes, ignoring the unsane fellow. After waiting for nearly two more minutes, the light of the crystal energy lamp flashed below. Catherine sighed and said, "He's in the end, it seems that there is no problem, while it's not dark yet, Lina, you can go down, as for Vivian, I'll carry you down in a while." ”

"Sister, have you forgotten, I have weight loss pills. Vivien stopped in front of Lina and said, "I can't fall to my death even if I jump directly, let alone run down the chain, I'll come next." ”

"Then you have to be careful. Catherine thought for a moment, but did not stop Vivien's impulse, fastened her backpack for her, and patted her on the head: "Go, come on." (To be continued......)
