The night is low, and the lights are on.

However, the city of flowers did not fall silent from the hustle and bustle of the day, and as the night deepened, the prosperity of the night began to be revealed.

Vendors take advantage of the last moment of the day to sell their best and the taverns and restaurants on the street welcome a variety of customers.

The cries of hawkers and the solicitation of warblers on the streets are noisy, and the thieves and swindlers who are struggling to survive in the darkness of society also start their day's work at this time.

The well-dressed rich and nobles were ready to spend a lot of money on the gold kilns, and some of them carried all kinds of weapons on their bodies, and at a glance they knew that they were mercenaries and warriors, walking in groups of three or five on the streets, and the bustling crowds came and went, all in their own directions, making the city seem more drunk and lively than during the day.

Lianhua City is one of the four famous cities of the Wind-Storming Empire, and it is the main city of the Flying Flower Lordship of the Wind-Storming Empire.

The Wind Empire is one of the three major human empires on the Dongsheng Continent, the Wind Empire is located in the northeast of the Dongsheng Continent, and a river of light divides the empire into two parts, the Northern and the Southern Regions, from east to west.

Located in the middle of the Northlands of the Empire, the city is one of the largest cities in the Northland region of the Windswept Empire.

Most of the Northlands are cold, with winter for most of the year, so a large area north of the city is a land of followers of the goddess of ice and snow, Tyranstoya, and even the Lord of the Gods, the god of light, is slightly less influential here.

Here, not only ordinary people, but even most of the nobles and even the emperor of the empire are believers in the goddess of ice and snow.

In the square in the middle of the city stood a magnificent statue of the goddess of ice and snow, at the foot of which was filled with all kinds of offerings, some of which were valuable, but no one dared to steal them, not even the poorest beggars or the most greedy thieves.

On the edge of the square is a huge building, the city's most famous venue, the Bloodflame Arena!

The origin of the Bloodflame Arena is ancient, and its history is even longer than that of Lianhua City itself.

It is said that in ancient times, it was the gladiatorial arena of the warriors of the ogre clan, and with the passage of time, it slowly evolved into a stage for warriors of various races on the continent to compete and communicate and even fight to the death.

Day after day, time passed, and various vendors and warriors began to gather around the arena, and due to the increasing flow of people of all kinds, after many years of multiplication, it developed into the current Lianhua City. It is precisely because of this ancient arena that Zhuanhua City has been able to rank among the famous cities on the mainland.

The Blood Flame Arena occupies a vast area, with a height of more than 100 meters, and the stands around it are all made of heavy bluestone strips simply piled up, without any decoration. Some places have been dilapidated, looking extremely crude and unaesthetic, but there is an ancient and vast iron and blood aura that permeates the whole stadium, and the stands are surrounded by a circle, and the huge space vacated in the middle is the place where people fight.

There are several ways to compete in the arena, from relatively civilized competitions to brutal battles of life and death.

Due to the long-term war in the Dongsheng Continent, the people here advocate force, coupled with the bloodthirsty nature of human beings, the competition of civilizations has been rarely seen, and the bloody and brutal life and death battle has become the mainstream way in the arena.

The rules of the arena are that the winner is in control of everything, including the life of the loser, so a defeat here is equivalent to losing a life, because almost no one will spare the opponent, and the brutal battle has already forged the warrior's emotions as cold as steel.

The winner takes everything, and the loser leaves everything, which has become the default law here.

The battle of life and death has one-on-one and team battles, and the most eye-catching is the Ten Prisons Reincarnation Battle, that is, a person challenges ten warriors sent by the arena within ten days, and cannot quit halfway, one a day, and needs to win ten consecutive games to end the game, the reason why it is called the Ten Prisons Reincarnation War is because each of these ten battles is like the next hell, and one cannot be lost, and losing is death!

Nightly battles in the arena are usually held by the owner of the arena, Marquis Mario, the lord of Lianhua City, and the battles in the arena are usually fought between slave gladiators in the arena. Other nobles in the city can send their own slaves to participate, or sit in the village to defend the battle, or challenge other warriors, and the arena also accepts the challenge of warriors from other places who have traveled in the past, as long as they follow the rules, everything is fine!

At this time, dinner time has passed, and people are pouring towards the Blood Flame Arena one after another, every night it is crowded with people, and the tickets for the arena have already been sold for two months, and the tickets for the day have been resold by the hawkers to ten times the high price, and it is still difficult to find a ticket.

And the arena is about to stage a dazzling fighting magic, and the bloody and exciting harvesting of life makes the crazy people even more crazy.

Above the gate of the arena is a huge magic shadow wall, which displays the images of the various warriors who will play that night and the odds offered by the casino for each warrior.

The hall next to it was also crowded, except for the window that sold tickets for the arena because there were no tickets to sell and there was no one, the other windows were casinos that accepted bets, and there were long queues. Some people gamble on pleasure, and some people gamble desperately to get rich.

The other window, where there was no queue, was open for challengers to sign up, and only one staff member sat there in a daze.

In the soft light, a piece of carefully cooked calloin on the delicate plate in front of Neo is emitting an enticing aroma, and the crystal glass is inlaid with intricate gold patterns, the golden pattern is made of real gold, and the exquisite wine glass is said to come from the mysterious elves, who alone have the skill to embed tough gold into fragile crystals.

The wine in the glass has a deep, heavy red color that is intoxicating before you even reach your mouth. In the dining room, a band is playing beautiful music, the volume of the music is just right, and even the flowers used for decoration on the table are carefully selected, and the faint fragrance of the flowers and trees is mixed with the fragrance of the food on the table.

Famous for its nearly 300-year-old beef dishes, this restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in the city, and Neo had his old butler Warwards wait in line for three days to get a spot.

Neo laughed at the thought of the old butler's sad and disappointed eyes, but how to say it, the old butler had been following his father Baron Brinton since he was a teenager, when his father was also in his youth, and the old butler grew up with his father, although he was a master and servant in name, but in fact he was like a relative.

The old housekeeper did not marry or have children, and cared for him like an elder in the family. Now, although his father has passed away, the old housekeeper still does not change his loyalty, and has traveled thousands of miles from his hometown to take him back to inherit the family business.

Neo's hometown is located at the northern end of the Windswept Empire, and it is a small town surrounded by maple trees, hence the name Maple Grove.

Fenglin Town is a small place in the countryside, relatively isolated, and there are very few people, only a few thousand people, speaking of which, the natural environment around the town is good, with the sea in the east and the vast Warcraft Forest in the top.

However, the town has no money and resources, and its armament is very low, so it cannot develop at all. The only good thing is that he may be too poor to even look down on robbers, so he is calm and peaceful, and has not been swept away by the war.

Neo's mother died when he was very young, and his father, Brinton Anderson, was born as a civilian, and he didn't have any outstanding martial arts, and he was only a great knight until his death.

My father worked hard all his life, took the initiative to charge forward in every battle, narrowly escaped death several times, and was injured and sick, and died early when he was over 50.

Because of his father's bravery, he was canonized as a baron by His Majesty Ferdirando, the emperor of the Wind-Blowing Empire, and also obtained the small territory of Maple Grove Town.

Baron Brinton sent Neo to Lianhua City since he was a child, and used all his connections and resources to send his son to study at the famous Dragon's Roar Knight Academy in Lianhua City, hoping that Neo can get out of Maple Grove Town and have a higher starting point in life, and no longer have to work as hard as himself.

Maple Grove was already very poor, and his father spent almost all of Maple Grove's income on Neo's spending in Lianhua City, which made the already poor town even worse.

Baron Brinton was originally lenient, but in order for his son to have a relaxed environment in Lianhua City, he repeatedly raised the taxes of Maple Grove Town, and the high cost also paid off handsomely, and Neo had just graduated and was already a junior knight.

The Great Knight is a high-end martial force among beginner cultivators, and he is even more remarkable in the remote and small place of Maple Grove Town. Every time he thought of this, Neo always prayed silently in his heart, don't worry, father, I will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will definitely make Maple Grove Town rich and strong. And this year happened to be Neo's graduation from the academy, thinking that his father and son would reunite, and he could help his father do something, but unfortunately God didn't follow people's wishes, and Neo didn't even see his father's last face.
