Chapter 1: Gotta add money

Fog Cage City.

As the largest trading city on the west coast of the Pander continent and the capital of the Fields Willway League, Fogcage City is undoubtedly a vibrant city.

The 'dynamic social gangs' in the streets are proof of this.

The streets are full of people, the artisans are doing a good business, and the 'craftsmen' who mingle the streets are also doing a good job of cutting their wallets...... The shouting and scolding were endless.

The arena in the center of the city is even more crowded, perhaps this is the most lively period in the more than 50 years since the establishment of the city.

Because the Lion Kingdom sent a noble mission to the city of fog cage to conclude an alliance.

For the leader of the Fields Alliance, Vidis, an alliance with the Lion Kingdom meant that his rule was recognized by the upper classes of the Pander continent.

This also meant that the leader of the alliance would henceforth be known as the "King of Vidis", and Fieldsway, a trade alliance of pirates and stowaways, would become a kingdom.

Therefore, for the sake of this major 'historical event' of the alliance between the two countries, the leader of Vidis and the Lion Kingdom jointly held a grand competitive event in the city of foggy cages.

And there was a rare improvement in law and order - the members of the 'Red Brotherhood' who used to be everywhere on the streets, selling all kinds of strange drugs and slaves, were all expelled from the city.

Standing in the lounge at the top corner of the arena, looking down at the bustling crowd of the city and the convoy of missions parked an entire street, Leon let out a long breath and removed the chainmail overlay from his head.

It was the first time in months that he had removed the covering gear in front of a person.

Because it's going to be his turn to play.

This is an unprecedented competition, and you can only wear designated armor and weapons, and you cannot use your own equipment to participate.

For the event co-organized by these two countries, the Lion Kingdom even took out a pioneer baron certificate that had not been awarded for a long time as a reward for the champion.

Becoming a pioneer lord may be the only way to make a class jump in this era of aristocratic rule...... But it is usually the descendants of the nobility who can become pioneer lords.

Ordinary people can't afford the cost and risk of territorial development.

Of course, those who can participate in this kind of competitive competition are usually not ordinary people.

Leon is also a special guy.

He's been in the arena for half a year now, and now he's even become the arena's resident swordsman, and he's always wearing a covered helmet.

This was mainly to avoid the eyes and ears of the Red Brotherhood.

This large-scale underworld organization that runs rampant throughout Pander is sparing no effort to send assassins to hunt him down. Or rather, they are hunting down the original owner of this skin, Leon Griffin.

And the secondary reason...... He's going to make money.

"Mr. Leon, it's different from the usual petty fights, but this time it's a good business......

Behind him, a fat man with a big belly of at least three hundred pounds of poop looked at Li Ang with a smile on his face. This is the owner of the Fogcage City Central Arena and the organizer of this event.

Leon looked left and right, and there were only the two of them in this secret room.

"Is it a business that makes me lose or makes me win?" Leon is no longer surprised by this kind of 'business', he has done this business many times in the past six months, and even the covered helmet came from such a transaction.

"See the man in the red armor over there, he belongs to Master Forcher, Duke of Alma...... Bastard. ”

The boss gestured to the arena below.

On the sidelines, a fair-haired aristocratic son was putting on protective gear with the help of several attendants, probably because his neck was hurt by the standard leather smock, and the noble prince kicked one of the attendants in the face and kicked the attendant on his heels.

An illegitimate child has no right to inherit, and naturally cannot have a title or a domain. However, it is estimated that this illegitimate son is very popular with the Duke, so the Duke used this method to make it possible for him to obtain the Pioneer Baron Certificate.

For the largest lord of the Lion Kingdom, it was not difficult to establish a pioneer barony in the wilderness, so that this illegitimate son could become a pioneer lord and have a legitimate fief and title.

On the contrary, it is not easy to obtain a pioneer certificate - due to the invasion of the border by the Chris's empire for many years, there are many nobles who have lost their fiefs, and there are more wolves and less meat, and the Lion Kingdom has not issued a new certificate for several years.

"So, you want me to help that boy win the championship of this competition? No wonder the first few games have been fought in formation......"

Li Ang pouted, this kind of formation battle is to divide the contestants into several groups for melee, and leave the last group to advance to the whole team, which is the best way for the master to bring his 'friends' to achieve good results......

"It's easy to talk to smart people...... That's right, Duke Alma is willing to pay a thousand dinars for this, as long as you can take Master Forcher to the final - the Great Swordsman he hired before was injured in the last match, and I must also change the members of his formation, otherwise it will be too fake......"

The boss's greasy fat face had already smiled like a flower, and he dragged a red wooden box from behind him like a trick.

The crate made a dull grinding sound against the wooden floor, and it was evident that it was not light, and it was not known how he managed to get the heavy wooden box upstairs without a sound.

The boss opens the wooden box, revealing a full pile of gold coins.

Gold coins, this is the only good thing in the world that everyone can truly love, and its charm is better than anything else.

Li Ang stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful, looking at the yellow and clear gold, feeling the heavy feeling, and his eyes showed a light of intoxication, as if he was holding a peerless beauty in his hand...... Atrium.

There are a thousand such stunning colors, which is really irresistible.

"Then it's decided, as long as Master Forchel can make it to the finals, you can take this huge amount of money."

The fat boss is obviously a qualified businessman, and from Li Ang's eyes and expressions, he seems to see what he looked like when he was young......

This kid will probably build an arena in the future......

"Alas...... Never mind! Leon reluctantly looked at the gold coins in his hand, let them leak through his fingers, and fell back into the box one by one with a crisp sound.

"Why? That's a thousand ......," the boss was shocked.

He couldn't understand if he could be a few years younger...... Well, if he can have a skill like Li Ang, then he will definitely put on his own battle.

1,000 dinars, that's a lot of money.

Moreover, most of the final opponents of the illegitimate young master also took the same business.

Li Ang looked up at the fat boss and pointed to the golden lion flag on a red background hanging on the wall of the arena: "The champion prize of this competition is the pioneer baron certificate!" ”

"That means that I can re-raise the knightly banner left by my father as a knight, and re-establish the knightly insignia that carries countless glory and glory on the Pander continent! This will be my best chance to step into the aristocracy! Do you understand? ”

The boss's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he knew that with the same equipment, the young man in front of him could indeed win the championship, and every game in the past six months has proved this.

But then, the fat boss heard a sonorous and powerful voice that made him breathtaking......

"Gotta add money!"

The boss wiped the sweat from his fat face: "Fifteen hundred dinars, no more......"

"One thousand eight! The Duke gave you at least two thousand dinars, right? ”

Li Ang's words made the fat boss break the defense.

"Okay, deal...... Mr. Leon, you are really ......."

The fat boss didn't know what to say, he now felt that this kid would probably be able to build chain arenas in many cities in the future.

Li Ang looked back at the fat boss and pointed to Forschel, who was wearing protective gear and jumping on the sidelines: "But this guy is really weak, maybe he can fall off the horse if no one touches him...... Are you sure this guy won't be suspected of winning the championship? ”

The boss wiped the sweat from his bald head again: "Young master of the duke's family, what if others suspect it...... It's yourself, don't be careless, the opponent is not weak. You'll have to bring Master Forcher to the finals for our deal to be done. ”

It's just that the fat boss doesn't know that in front of Li Ang's eyes, there is an interface that others can't see.

It shows some data that the Pande people would not understand even if they saw it.
