Chapter 6 Gambling Fight I
The Angel Empire was founded by force, and the folk martial arts prevailed, and they were most fond of exciting and bloody slave fights. Commoners spent a silver coin for a day in the tavern, and nobles liked to go to the slave market to buy slave fighters at high prices, and to represent the family in gladiatorial fights at private banquets. First, it can show the power of the master, and second, if the slave is favored, it can be sold for a good price.
The Adventurer's House has a small gladiatorial arena next door to the tavern, made of large granite blocks and smooth and level.
It is divided into two floors, the lower floor is the ring, about more than 100 square meters square, surrounded by a five-meter-high stone wall, and the upper floor is the spectator's stand, a circle of stone fences is built around the edge of the ring, and the audience can lie on the stone fence to watch the gladiatorial performances in the field.
As soon as they heard that there was a duel, the guests in the tavern immediately exploded, and a swarm of bees flocked to the gladiatorial arena, and in an instant, the stone fence on the second floor was completely impassable.
"Who's fighting against the rabbit?"
"It seems that that guy's name is Alex, and he is a genius magician of Alpha Academy!!"
"There's a good show to watch now, and rabbits aren't fuel-efficient lamps!"
......。
Catherine, Bullock, and Big Mouth grabbed a position at the front, and had an unobstructed view of the ring below. I saw Robert and Alex standing opposite each other, and they were about five meters apart.
Robert looked lazy, folded his hands around his chest, looked at Alex with his eyes half-open and half-closed, and said, "Pole man, can you start?"
Alex didn't answer, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, his right hand raised his wand, and a moment later, a dazzling magic smooth flashed, and a magic shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, the audience immediately applauded loudly.
"This kid has a set! He has learned to recite incantations. ”
"It's worthy of coming out of Alpha Academy. ”
"Just this silent spell, not many adventurers can do it!"
......。
Robert was taken aback, knowing that this silent hair was a very clever spell-casting skill of a magician, and the caster could cast a spell without moving his hands, opening his mouth, or making the slightest sound, and he could cast a spell without warning in advance, which was extremely difficult to prevent. At that moment, the lazy look on his face disappeared in an instant, he took a deep breath, brushed it, pulled out the dagger with his backhand, and whispered: "It's a little interesting." ”
Without hesitation, Alex recited the incantation, pointed his wand at Robert, and with a snort, a fist-sized fireball shot away like a meteor.
Robert felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he jumped to the left, avoiding the fireball, which landed where he had just been, and with a bang, burst into flames the size of a dustpan.
As soon as he stood still, Robert wanted to rush forward. Who knew that the fireballs were like a series of cannons, one after another, and they didn't stop for half a minute. Robert dodged left and right, dodging the fireballs one by one, although he was not injured, but he was also embarrassed, and scolded: "The pole man is really strong, the uncle will catch you in a moment and let you do pole dancing." ”
Alex scolded, "Death is on the verge of death, and your mouth is hard!" As soon as he spoke, he couldn't recite the incantation, and the fireball launch suddenly failed to connect.
At this moment, Robert used his rampage skill. The figure flickered, and in the next second, he was already in front of Alex, and he was really moving, only to hear a sound properly, and the dagger had already pierced Alex's magic shield. The light of the magic shield dimmed for a moment, and then vanished.
You know, this rampage skill can instantly double the speed, although the level is not high, but it is extremely difficult to learn, and there are not many people among thieves who can use this skill.
When everyone saw this scene, they immediately applauded.
"I'll just say this rabbit is okay!"
"It seems that Alpha Academy is nothing more than that!"
......。
Alex Wan didn't expect that Robert would run out of skill, and in shock, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly activated the flame ring on his left hand, and a dazzling magic flash flashed, and a shield burning with flames immediately appeared in front of him.
(Note: On the Illusory Continent, the grades of magic equipment are divided into seven levels - ordinary, magical, rare, boutique, legendary, sub-artifact, and artifact.) Because of the scarcity of magical equipment, people's pursuit of them is almost crazy. For example, this Ring of Fire is a very valuable grade of magic, and it contains a flame shield that can be activated with a little bit of magic. )
Robert knew that this flame shield was very powerful, not only defending, but also burning those who touched it, and jumped backwards on his toes.
Alex let out a heavy breath, and secretly said in his heart: "It's so dangerous! Fortunately, I have this Ring of Fire, otherwise I would have lost!"
As soon as he saw the wall of fire, Robert secretly cried out, knowing that as long as he was burned by the wall of fire, he would have to be seriously injured, so he hurried to the left, preparing to attack behind him.
Alex seemed to see through his plan, and placed three walls of fire on his left, right, and back in succession. In this way, Alex was in a sea of fire, already invincible, just wanted to release the fireball technique, but found that he had little magic left, reached into the storage bag to get the magic potion, and was stunned on the spot.
It turned out that he had used up his magic power with a crazy spell just now, and immediately went to get the magic potion, but suddenly remembered that all his potions had been drunk when he was hunting poisonous lizards.
You must know that magic is the life of a magician, and a magician without magic cannot cast any spells, it is just like fish on a chopping board, only to be slaughtered, and there are only two ways to recover magic, one is meditation, and the other is to drink magic potions. Meditation takes a lot of time, but a mana potion can quickly replenish mana.
Robert quickly circled around Alex a few times, and when he saw a wall of fire burning around her, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and said to himself, "I'm the sun." It seems that I have to use that trick!" Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he used his stealth skill.
Everyone saw that the space was distorted, and then Robert's figure slowly faded and disappeared in an instant.
The audience immediately exploded and erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Look, the rabbit has learned stealth skills!"
"This is true genius!"
"I can't do it, I have to use invisibility potions, hey~~, I'm really old!"
......。
You must know that although the level of stealth skills is not high, it is very difficult to practice well. For example, in the dark, a thief can be invisible, but in public, it is even more difficult to be completely undetected, so most thieves use invisibility potions, although the price is expensive, but this is also a helpless thing.
Alex chuckled in his heart, looking at the empty arena and knowing that something was wrong. He had planned to lure Robert over and attack him, as long as Robert passed through the wall of fire and was seriously injured. Now Robert actually used the stealth skill to make it clear that he was playing peek-a-boo with him, and his magic was not good, and once the wall of fire disappeared, it would be lost.
Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a crisp voice say loudly: "Okay, let's admit defeat! Robert, you show up!" Alex heard Catherine's voice, and was immediately embarrassed. She wanted to show herself in front of her girlfriend, but who knew but she was greatly embarrassed, and was about to say something, when she suddenly saw a distortion in the space in the southeast corner of the gladiatorial arena, and Robert's figure slowly appeared.
As soon as Robert's figure appeared, Catherine threw a money bag at him. Robert caught it, checked it, glanced at Alex again, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, put his right index finger in his mouth, and whistled loudly with a "shh~~". The whistle sounded throughout the arena, drowning down the noise of the crowd.
This whistle is Robert's signature, and whenever he is in a good mood, he can't help but whistle loudly.
Alex stared at Robert viciously and scolded loudly: "Damn rabbit, you are lucky this time, uncle, I don't have any magic potions, don't let me see you next time, see you once!" He used the last bit of magic to amplify his voice several times so that everyone in the audience could hear it clearly, just to let everyone know that he failed only because he didn't have a potion, not because he was not strong.
