Chapter Seventy-Seven: Spectating the Battle
The five magicians of Simeone's team slowly walked into the circular arena. On the other side of the arena is their opponent today, the Fairling Mercenaries.
The two sides had not yet started the match, and Faraz, who was watching the game in the expensive box, had already shaken her head, and she had clearly seen the gap between the two sides of the game.
The Fairling mercenary team over there, it seems that the money bag is not rich, although the axe in the hands of the two warriors in the team is very sharp, but the few small gaps in the blade reveal their embarrassment; and look at the two pieces of armor worn by the warriors, I am afraid that the cheapest one, Farass is very skeptical that this thing can work, or is it just for the dignity of the warriors?
And the thief, who was wearing a cloak with a few patches in an inconspicuous place, and the color was old and unsightly, and Faraz looked sorry for him.
There were no magicians and priests in the entire Fairlin mercenary team, and Faras estimated that with their financial resources, they could not afford to hire them.
Look at Simone on the other side, each of these five magicians has elaborate magical items all over their bodies, such as the ring on Simone's hand, Faras knew that this thing was the work of his teacher Victor, and his teacher put this thing in the Blackstone auction house for auction, and sold it for 10,000 gold coins, and only people with a noble background like Simone could afford to use it.
Look at the baby-faced Buck and the diminutive Byron, the magic wand in their hands is inlaid with a fifth-level magic core, why does this thing cost thousands of gold coins, right? The pointed black hat on Carl Clarke's head is not an ornament, that thing can provide him with protection against three times of electric magic, and can also release a lightning spell, which is said to be the work of a student of Master Blair, and the price is only higher than the ring made by Victor.
Faras couldn't bear to look any longer, and she turned her head to see that Red and herself were also in the same mind. The two glanced at each other and smiled wryly in unison.
This scene was seen by Allendo, who asked strangely, "Look at your faces, it seems that you already know the result of this game?"
Faras shrugged her shoulders and said to Elendo, "Unless the gods of light possess the members of the Fairlin mercenary team, there is no way to turn the tables around." ”
Although Alendor knew that the strength of Simeone's magician team had the upper hand, he didn't understand such a resolute conclusion like Faraz, and he asked, "Is there such a huge gap in strength between the two sides?"
Red explained: "In terms of individual strength, we don't know much about the situation of the Fairling mercenary team, so we don't praise it. But the equipment of the two sides alone has opened up a very big gap. This gap is enough to change the outcome of a match between two teams of similar strength. ”
Faraz was afraid that everyone didn't understand, so he explained in detail: "Look at the Ferlin mercenary team, I estimate that the equipment of all team members will not exceed 20 gold coins, which is still calculated according to the price of the new purchase." ”
Allendo nodded, and he said, "I can see that Fairling's money bag doesn't seem to be very ideal. ”
Faras nodded and said, "yes." If you look at Simeone's side, all these magical items they have on them add up to a huge amount. But that's not all, there's more to them than what you see. Baker alone, there are no less than 20 magic scrolls in his arms, each of which is a third-level magic. I studied with them at the Royal Academy of Magic, do you know what other people say about Simeone and them fighting?"
Alina asked, "How do you describe it?"
With a smile on her face, Faras said, "When I was studying at the Royal Academy of Magic, there was a student who challenged Baker and he lost. Afterwards, the man who was defeated by Baker said to his friend: 'I was not defeated by Baker, I was knocked over by gold coins. ’”
"What do you mean?" Eleana clearly didn't understand the meaning of Faraz's words.
Red explained: "It's very simple, in that duel, Baker used a total of seventeen third-level scrolls, and one of them cost at least more than a hundred gold coins, which is more than two thousand gold coins. ”
Farass suddenly laughed, as if she had thought of something happy, and she smiled and said to everyone, "Someone made up a joke about this later." ”
"Ah, sister, say it quickly. Alina was the first to clapp.
Faras sat there and told the joke in a serious manner.
"One day, a magician approached Baker for a duel.
The two stood facing each other in the dueling arena, and as soon as they began, the magician said to Baker, 'How about a discussion?'.
Baker asked, 'What's the matter?'.
The magician said, 'I know you have a lot of magic scrolls, and you throw a few thousand gold coins every time you duel. Why don't you give me half of the gold and I don't fight back?"
Farass vividly expressed the expressions of the two people in the story, especially when the magician said "I won't fight back", which made everyone laugh for a while.
Alendor couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "They rely on external things so much, which is very detrimental to their own growth." ”
Before Faras could say anything, he heard the horn sound for the start of the race. Faras immediately said to everyone, "Let's watch the game first." ”
So the entire Lace team stopped joking and watched the game seriously.
With the opening of the colored barrier in the center, the match between Simeone's Wizard Squad and Fairling's Mercenary Squad officially began.
The five magicians of Simeone's wizard squad immediately tore open the magic scroll in their hands, and five huge fireballs roared towards their opponents. These five fireballs did not attack the opponent directly, but exploded a little in front of the opponent, and huge magical flames splattered out, blocking all the lines of the Fairling mercenary team's attack.
The magic scroll is released quickly, and it consumes almost no of its own mana, but it is much less powerful. Simeone magicians began to cooperate very tacitly, Baker and Buck kept pulling out the magic scroll and tearing it open, using the magic scroll to quickly cast spells to block the opponent's close line, while Carl and Byron slowly recited the spell of the fireball spell and launched an attack on the opponent.
Fireballs whizzed through the air, heading towards the area where the Fairling mercenary squad was located. The fireball exploded, and a large amount of magical flames erupted, forcing the members of the Fairlin mercenary team to shrink behind their two warriors and use the warriors' cheap shields to protect themselves.
