Chapter 269: A sea of people
、、、、、、、
The central square of Saiya City, located in the center of the city, is a very wide open space at the intersection of the two largest main streets in Saiya City. Usually very lively, all kinds of small vendors will gather in the central square, forming a prosperous and lively area.
The two main streets, which cross into a central plaza, are also bustling and are the main streets in Saiyan City, with a variety of shops lining both sides of the street. But it's not the business that's famous, it's the martial arts hall, and on these two long streets, there are a total of five martial arts halls set up here, and these five martial arts halls are all big martial arts halls, and they are all ranked in the top ten martial arts halls. And the Cario Martial Arts Pavilion in Castoci and the Seth Martial Arts Pavilion in Tubat that Ryan wants to challenge are all on these two main streets.
Although the central square is very close to the Cario Martial Arts Gym, Ryan challenged Castoci this time and was not worried that the people of the Kalio Martial Arts Hall would be unfavorable to him. First of all, Ryan challenged in the name of challenging Castoci personally, and the people of the Cario Martial Arts Gym, including Castoci's father, the level 7 sword master Cario, had no right to interfere according to the rules of the martial arts gym. Secondly, there are too many people in the central square, and Ryan is not worried about the people of the Cario Martial Arts Gym, who dare to do things that damage the reputation of their martial arts hall in full view.
However, when Ryan took Katisha and the others to the central square, he was taken aback. There are so many people in the square that it can be described as a sea of people.
In the middle of the central square, a large wooden round platform several meters high was erected, which was very large, with a diameter of about forty or fifty meters long, which was completely enough for the movement of two people in a duel. This large round platform is after the lord of the city, Count Mockett, knows that Ryan and Castoci are going to duel. Built on the fly.
Ryan glanced over and around the big round platform, dense crowds of people stuffed the originally wide square very crowded, but. Fortunately, the lord of the city, Count Mocquet, arranged for many soldiers of the city guard to maintain order and control the chaotic flow of people within an orderly range.
Ryan wondered why the city lord, Count Mockett, attached so much importance to the duel between Ryan and Castoci, and seemed to treat the duel between the two as a huge event.
In Ryan's original thoughts, he didn't dare to come to the door to challenge Castoci, because if he came to challenge, it would become a challenge to their martial arts gym. If Ryan defeats Castoci, he fears that Castoci's father will lose face. Come out and duel Ryan. Therefore, Ryan asked Castoci to duel in the central square, the idea was just to duel with Castoci in front of many passers-by, so as not to cheat Castoci. Unexpectedly. After the city lord Count Mokt knew about the duel between the two, he actually held a duel between the two with great fanfare, which eventually led to a scene of crowds watching the duel.
When Ryan came to the central square, he immediately found that there was a problem, that is, there were too many onlookers. He couldn't even squeeze into the big round platform in the arena. This left Ryan speechless, and in the end, with the assistance of the city guard soldiers, he squeezed around the large round platform.
As soon as Ryan stepped into the open space on the edge of the large round platform, he saw the city lord, Count Mockett, sitting in the middle of a row of chairs.
"Ryan. What do you want to do with such a big stance? Count Mockett beckoned Ryan. Splitter asked.
Ryan took a closer look at Count Mockett and saw that his words sounded harsh. But his expression didn't seem to be lifeless.
"I just want to teach some lessons to those who dare to despise us in the Auburn Martial Arts. Lord Castle, I did it in full accordance with the rules of the martial arts hall. Ryan replied with a relaxed expression. However, Rui Anzhong was still a little worried about Count Mockett's reaction.
"Hmph, but you're too exaggerated, you challenged twenty-three martial arts halls in eight days, and all of them defeated each other, and now you have to challenge the four young masters in front of so many people." Count Mockett said indignantly.
Ryan smiled and didn't speak, he could hear Count Mockett's words, a little appreciative and a little annoyed, so he didn't speak, waiting for what the other man said next.
"Don't you Auburn Martial Arts Pavilion want to mess around in Saiyan City? If you have offended so many people, are you not afraid that others will join forces with others to boycott you? "Count Mockett seems to be thinking about Ryan.
"Hehe, we're going to leave Saiyan City in a few days." Ryan replied with a small chuckle.
"Oh! It turns out that you want to escape, no wonder you are not afraid of offending people? But what do you mean by handing over this mess to me? "Count Mockett seems to have anticipated Ryan's intentions for a long time.
"How can this be considered a mess? With the talent of the lord of the castle, with a slight movement of his little finger, everything can be settled. Ryan laughed and patted his ass.
"Humph!" Count Mockett did not speak, and looked angry.
At this time, Ryan already vaguely felt that this city lord did not object to his own approach, on the contrary, he seemed to agree with his own approach. It's just that Ryan can't figure out why the other party did it.
"Lord Castle, this duel has bothered you. I'm flattered that you arranged such a big scene! Ryan thanked.
"Hmph, then you have to fight hard and defeat the other party, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." Count Mockett still looked indignant.
Suddenly, Ryan immediately understood Count Mockter's purpose of supporting Ryan's challenge, perhaps Count Mockett wanted to take the opportunity of Ryan's crazy challenge to achieve his goal of suppressing the development of the martial arts hall. However, all this has nothing to do with Ryan, Ryan just needs to defeat the other party and achieve his own goals.
Next, Count Mockett ignored Ryan, and Ryan sat with Katisha and the others to rest.
It should be said that Count Mockett arranged this duel very well, and the area around the large round platform more than ten meters away was emptied by the soldiers of the city guard, leaving an open space. In this clearing, except for two places reserved for the two sides of the duel to rest, the remaining places were placed with many chairs, apparently for some people of status to come and watch.
On the periphery of the clearing, it is the place where ordinary spectators watch the duel. Because the large round platform is arranged very high, ordinary spectators can see clearly although they are far away from the large round platform.
Ryan looked around, and the dense crowd of people made all kinds of noises, which were more intense than when Ryan used to participate in competitive competitions. At this time, many people had already spotted Ryan's figure, and they began to shout Ryan's name loudly to cheer for Ryan.
Ryan didn't spot Castoci, but Ryan wasn't worried that Castoci wouldn't come. With so many people paying attention to the duel, if Castoci doesn't come, then he won't want to mess around in Saiyan City in the future.
After a while, Kastocchi finally arrived. But he did not come alone, but with six or seven companions. Ryan looked over and saw that it was Tubat who was walking alongside Kastoch. Ryan was stunned for a moment, but then realized that Castoch must have known Tubat, and it seemed that they were on good terms.
After Kastoch stepped into the open space of the Great Circle, he only nodded slightly to the lord of the city, Count Mockett, and then walked straight to the place where Ryan was resting.
Ryan hurriedly stood up, and Katisha and the others behind him also stood up to deal with the unkind Kastoch.
"Katisha, long time no see. You okay? To his surprise, Castoci ignored Ryan at first, smiling and greeting Katiza.
Katisha blushed, and after a little hesitation, she replied coldly: "I'm fine, I don't need you to worry about it." ”
Katisha's coldness suddenly made Castoci's smile freeze, and his face moved as if twitching. It took him a long time before he returned to his normal state, retracting his gaze at Katisha and turning viciously at Ryan.
Ryan stared at Kastoch without showing any weakness.
"You are very bold, last time I beat you to a serious injury, you are not afraid, you even dare to challenge me. I won't let you go so easily this time. Kastoch said coldly.
"Without further ado, let me settle accounts with you this time." Ryan scoffed.
"Settle accounts? Don't think that if you improve a little, you will have the ability to challenge me, you are still a level 5 swordsman, and you are not my opponent at all. "Castocchi obviously understands the strength that Ryan has shown when he challenges other martial arts gyms these days, and he knows something about Ryan's situation.
"Humph!" Ryan didn't want to say any more, he felt that instead of talking so much nonsense, it was better to speak with strength.
Castoci was furious when he saw that Ryan ignored him, but he didn't continue, he decided to wait and teach Ryan a good lesson.
But at this time, Tubat, who was next to Castoci, spoke, and his voice was a little yin and yang: "Hehe, last time you refused my challenge, I thought you were a coward." I didn't expect you to be so bold, not only to challenge so many martial arts gyms, but also to dare to challenge Kastoch. However, if you are lucky, you met Kastocchi, and the other person is better, and at most he will seriously injure you. If you meet me, I'll make your life worse than death. ”
Tubat's words didn't make Ryan angry, because Ryan knew that Tubat was such a person. Ryan just looked at Tubat with sharper eyes: "We'll see, you'll be next." ”
Tubat's anger swelled up, and instead of retorting to Ryan, he turned to Castoch and said, "Castoci, or you will give me this duel and let me deal with this arrogant boy." ”
"No, I'm going to do it myself, but don't worry, I'll teach him a good lesson." Naturally, Castoch refused, so many people paid attention to the duel, if he gave up the duel to Tubat, I don't know what other people would think of him.
Tubat turned to Ryan and shouted, "Boy, if you can save your life at Castoci's hands, I'll greet you well." ”
With that, Tubat and Kastoch turned and went back to where they were resting. (To be continued.) )
