A day later, the preliminary stage of the Mercenary Tournament was over.

The 100 players who won the preliminary round, plus the 28 seeded players selected by the Mercenary Association, a total of 128 players, will compete in the final stage of the Mercenary Tournament.

For the Mercenary Association, the final stage of the Mercenary Tournament is the beginning of the real competition, and it is the beginning of the real money to attract rich and status nobles to come and watch.

For some nobles and wealthy people, the finals of the Mercenary Tournament are worth watching. Or do you still expect the nobles to surrender their identities and watch two reckless men who can only have some superficial martial arts skills and can't even fight on the stage? It's a shame, isn't it?

Therefore, as soon as it came to the final stage of the Mercenary Tournament, the Mercenary Association directly increased the ticket tenfold. In doing so, the Mercenary Association not only intends to make more money, but also wants to keep some poor and undocumented people out of the door.

The skyrocketing ticket prices did not reduce the audience, and the real aristocrats, the real rich people don't care about the ticket fee, they care about being able to have fun watching the game.

In addition, the Mercenary Guild has also set up some boxes, which are for some nobles with more status. Ordinary people can't buy tickets to these boxes even if they spend more money.

Another way for the Mercenary Association to make money is gambling, not only betting on which player will win the championship, but also betting on who will win each game.

In this regard, the Mercenary Association made the information of the 128 finalists into a booklet and sold it to those who wanted to bet and participate in the bet.

It can be said that no matter who is in that world, it is human nature to gamble. Therefore, the gambling of each Mercenary Tournament will attract countless people to participate and inject a large amount of money. Even Ryan wanted to use this gamble to make a fortune.

As soon as the brochure introducing the information of the players was released, it was sold out, and the price was so cheap that almost everyone who followed the Mercenary Tournament wanted to buy a copy. Unfortunately, the number was limited, and in the end, the Mercenary Association had to print an additional batch to meet people's needs.

The release of the pamphlet also made Ryan a celebrity in addition to the popular winners.

People who don't show fighting spirit and are not even swordsmen can actually break into the final stage. Ryan relied on a strange stick, a magical stick technique, his legs to kick people by surprise, coupled with a swordsman's spirit, some despicable and shameless means, to break into the final against all expectations, which in itself is a very remarkable thing.

Many people grit their teeth with hatred for Ryan, but they still have to admit that Ryan still has a certain strength, although these strengths are very contrary to the spirit of a swordsman.

After carefully reading the booklet, Ryan found that his odds for winning the championship reached one to one, and this odds were not the first to the bottom, although he was in the bottom few, but it can be seen that the mercenary association still thinks that Ryan has a little bit of strength.

However, Ryan is still very self-aware, even if the odds of a thousand are very high, he will not bet on himself to win the championship, this is simply a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return.

The booklet only has the original winning odds of each player, and the actual winning odds are constantly changing, and you need to go to the mercenary guild betting points to find out.

The booklet does not have odds for every game, and the odds for each game are constantly changing.

Ryan looked at the schedule to find out who he was going to be against in his next race and found that his luck wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

Ryan managed to avoid the favorites who won the championship, and the mercenary tournament attracted more than a dozen high-level swordsmen, including several level 6 swordsmen.

Ryan's luck is not very good, the reason is that although Ryan's opponent is not a swordsman level, only a level 4 swordsman, but the opponent has a lot of combat experience, which can be seen from the opponent serving as the deputy head of a small mercenary group.

Ryan's opponent in the next game is called Nate Stud, a 35-year-old, level 4 swordsman, serving as the deputy head of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, with rich combat experience and good at fire attribute fighting spirit.

Ryan carefully compared the strength of himself and his opponent, and simulated the game scenario in his mind, and came to the conclusion that he was only fifty percent sure of defeating his opponent if he used all his methods, including killer skills. This grasp is very high, after all, Ryan has just won a level 3 swordsman before, and compared to level 3 swordsmen, level 4 swordsmen have not changed in essence except that the level of fighting spirit is much higher.

So Ryan plans to see what the odds are for his next game?

Ryan dressed up a little bit and didn't bring gear like his signature stick. He put on his coat and hat, and walked slowly to the Mercenary Society.

There are many more people on the streets of Kata than before, there are many more people doing business, and there are all kinds of clamours everywhere.

Ryan didn't pay much attention to the people around him, he had been on the same road several times recently, and the novelty had long since disappeared, and besides, he was thinking about the bet in his heart right now.

A moment later, Ryan came to the Mercenary Guild, there was no game today, so there weren't many people on the arena side, and almost all of them were concentrated in the mission hall.

Recently, the mission hall of the Mercenary Association has long ceased to publish tasks and has become a betting point for mercenary tournaments, so as long as people who want to bet on bets, they will basically come here to understand the odds and bets.

Ryan goes to the wall where the odds for each game are published and looks up the odds for his own game.

It didn't take long for Ryan to find his match and he saw that he was priced at 3 to 1 to win, while Ryan's opponent Nate Stead was 1.5 to 1.

Obviously, the Mercenary Association is not optimistic about Ryan, although Ryan has won many games before, but a player who is not even a swordsman, if he wants to win a level 4 swordsman, this is something that has never happened. The reason why Ryan's odds are not set higher now is that he is worried that Ryan will be able to miraculously defeat his opponent.

Ryan thought about it carefully and finally decided to bet his entire net worth on one gold coin to win. This is the money that Ryan has worked hard to save in Moya's blacksmith shop for more than half a year, and after betting this one gold coin, Ryan only has a few silver coins left on him.

But Ryan wasn't worried, and if he won the game, he would have won the bet, which was good. If you lose the game and you lose the bet, it's okay. Because I won so many matches in the previous preliminary round, the prize money has not yet been collected from the Mercenary Association. Ryan doesn't know exactly how much money he won, but he guesses that there are at least a few gold coins.

After placing his bets, Ryan returned to the blacksmith with the voucher.

Daddy Moya already knew that Ryan had participated in the Mercenary Tournament and had entered the finals, and he knew even more about the equipment that Ryan had built himself. However, Daddy Moya really has no interest in these fighting competitions, maybe he would have been interested when he was younger, but now he is only interested in his own business. So Daddy Mo Ya still asked Ryan to strike iron as usual, but it was only slightly less than before.

The next thing Ryan has to do is to repair the Yin Stick, in the last match, the Yin Stick was cut by the opponent through several gaps, the largest of which was the opponent's last sword that almost cut the Yin Stick, cutting into a depth of nearly half of it.

As a blacksmith, it is very simple for Ryan to repair the Yin Stick, but now Ryan is thinking about another thing, that is, when he met a level 3 swordsman in the last game, he was already cut off by half of the diameter, and the next game is against a level 4 swordsman, so will the Yin Stick give the opponent a sword cut? This is very likely.

Therefore, Ryan now not only needs to repair the yin stick, but also needs to thicken and harden the body of the yin stick.

After being busy for a long time, Ryan completed the repair and thickening of the body of the stick, and a thickened stick was born, and the new stick was about ten pounds heavier than before.

Ryan waved a few **** sticks slightly, and found that the weighted stick did not have much effect on the performance of the stick technique.

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little more confident about defeating his opponent.

Ryan has to rest well and be ready to fight a tough battle, Ryan has already simulated the situation of the game in his mind before, but Ryan also knows that these are all on paper, and the most important thing is to be improvised.
