After Kong Ming walked out of the dwarf's shop, he continued to walk along the main road to the front, looking at the sky, it was already noon, and he didn't expect to stay in it for so long. A light rain fell from the sky, and there was a cold feeling on the face, and the pedestrians on the road hid under the eaves one after another, and pushed forward there. Kong Ming also ran under the eaves to see the weather, thinking that the rain couldn't stop all of a sudden, and walked some way forward, Kong Ming saw a mercenary bar, so he walked in. This is a very traditional mercenary bar, although this is in the center of Zealand City, the land price is a little more expensive than other places, but it is very wide, dozens of tables, around the bar, by the door is the bar service desk, the center of the bar has a length and width of about ten meters, about one and a half meters high ring, there are two swordsmen on it are competing, you come and go is very lively, around the ring around a circle of people, constantly whistling, shouting some different sounds, and the people sitting on the table to eat around are also shouting from time to time, the bar's waiters keep walking around, remembering some bets or menus。 Kong Ming found a two-person table on the inside and sat down. A waitress dressed in light armor walked over when she saw Kong Ming coming, holding a menu in her hand, handing it to Kong Ming, and at the same time asked, "Sir, also ask what you want to eat and what services do you need?"

"Do you have any other services besides food here?" asked Kong Ming strangely.

"Of course, you can buy the winner or loser of every tournament there, the minimum bet is a silver coin, you can also go to the stage yourself, we will give you a gold coin for each win, and depending on the amount of bets, you will be given a 5% rake. ”

"What is pumping?" asked Kong Ming, confused.

"Looks like you're here for the first time, aren't you?" the waiter laughed.

"Hmm. Kong Ming nodded.

"That's the case, if you come to power, we will give you a gold coin reward for every game you win, if you lose, we will give three silver coins, but many people will give too little money, and no one will fight, so we will generally give five percent of the money to the winning party according to the amount of money the guest gambles, for example, there are thirty people betting on you to win, and each person bets on ten gold coins, then when you win, according to the general rule, we have to give each guest ten gold coins, but we can only give them nine gold coins。 ”

"And what about a gold coin?" asked Kuming.

"There's also a gold coin, five of which are for the bar, which includes the venue, the services we provide, and the taxes in the city, and the other five silver coins for the jouster, and for the people who often come here to fight, these five silver coins are their big head, because the more people who gamble, the more they rake, and the richer they are, and the gold coin given by the bar is just a small head. The waiter said with a smile.

"What are the rules for gambling money, and what are the rules for fighting?"

"There are no rules for gambling money, you are here or at the bar to see which game you want to bet on, generally speaking, as long as the game does not start, then you can bet, the lower limit of the bet is a silver coin, there is no upper limit, if you win, we will charge a 10% margin. In the case of competitions, except for special requests from guests, we generally only arrange competitions at the same level. For example, a third-level swordsman versus a third-level magician, a third-level assassin versus a third-level thief, a third-level archer versus a swordsman, etc., anyone of the same level, whether he is a swordsman or a noble magician, can go up and fight. And if you are injured, the bar will give a certain amount of treatment, you see that the mage of the light system over there is our healer, of course, because of the limited ability, the treatment is also limited, and the treatment is to give a certain amount of medical expenses according to the condition of the injury, at most only one gold coin, that is, an appearance fee, but the quality of the treatment has nothing to do with us. The waiter said patiently.

"So what's a special request?"

"That's a lot more, like different levels of competition is a special requirement, and settling some small grievances is also a special requirement, oh look, said that the special competition is coming soon, and the next one is a match between a magic mage and a swordsman. ”

Kong Ming followed the waiter's gaze and saw a magician and a swordsman preparing in front of the arena, a few friends and the like next to them cheering them on, and two people dressed like waiters explaining something to them. Judging from the magician's magic robe, it should be a high-level fire-based magician, and the swordsman is a junior swordsman, which can be said to be equal, but everyone knows that the advantage of the magician is the distance, and it is unfair for the magician not to have a certain distance, unless he is a demon martial arts cultivator like Kong Ming, otherwise, letting the swordsman approach will directly mean the end of the battle, and in this small ring of more than 100 square meters, it can be said that the advantage of the magician has been completely lost, how can it be comparedBut Kong Ming saw that the magician was so confident, and there was a trace of the idea that the magician would win, and then he looked at the swordsman was also very confident, Kong Ming suddenly had a gamble, so he said to the waiter: "Bring me a fast food, a glass of white wine, and bet two gold coins, and the next game, the magician wins." As he spoke, he took out three gold coins and handed them to the waiter, but the waiter returned one gold coin and said, "You can keep this gold coin first, and we will eat first and pay later." As he spoke, he wrote something on the small book in his hand, and finally tore off a piece of paper and gave it to Kong Ming, "Sir, please take it, this is your gambling ticket, wait a minute, use it to get your winnings." Kong Ming took the paper and looked at it, and it was written that in the sixth game, the magician versus the swordsman, bet two gold coins. Take the note in your arms. The waiter left Kongming and walked to the service desk.

At this time, Kong and Ming watched the two swordsmen fighting, the level was too low, and there was no technical content, so Kong Ming couldn't raise too much interest, and besides, this was not a desperate fight, and there was not much to see. Kong Ming lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and couldn't help but think of those days in the war, those days that made people restless day and night, and the days when he was worried every day that he would never see the sun the next day after falling asleep. Suddenly, there seemed to be a person sitting opposite Kong Ming, and Kong Ming looked up, but it was Hu Siyue. Hu Siyue smiled, still holding the long sword of the Guards that Kong Ming had just sold, and said to Kong Ming: "As a swordsman, the sword is the swordsman's best friend, how can you give it up casually? Fortunately, I happened to pass by there, otherwise you will definitely suffer a lot of punishment after you return to the Guard." There was a hint of pride in his words. "Hehe, the sword is really a swordsman's most reliable friend, this sentence is not bad at all, but it is a pity that not every sword will get the same treatment, some are just ordinary friends, and some are good friends. And I've said it many times, I'm not from the Guards, this sword was just a drunken man I got drunk, and I don't even know who gave it. ”

"Why, seeing a lady sitting here, don't you think you should do something as a gentleman?" asked Hu Siyue.

"What should I do?" Kong Ming thought for a while, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Excuse me, do you want the third lady to come and have lunch together?" Kong Ming said flatly.

"There's no sincerity at all, that's talking to a lady like this!" Hu Siyue said angrily. With her beautiful face, coupled with Kong Ming's secret love, a simple sentence made Kong Ming lose his mind and dare not face Hu Siyue. "Hehe, what are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear me asking you?" Hu Siyue asked again. Kong Ming still didn't react at once, as a well-educated magician who had wandered among various nobles in the imperial capital since she was a child, at this moment, she was finally sure that Kong Ming had fallen into the trap that she had woven without her care. Looking at Hu Siyue, Kong Ming regained a little sense, and asked weakly, "May I ask the third lady what you want to eat?" said and took the menu on the table to her, "There is no sincerity at all, people have already ordered something." ”

"Hehe!" Kong Ming smiled awkwardly. At this time, the match between the magician and the swordsman finally began, and Kong Ming was temporarily freed from this embarrassment. I saw that the magician was wearing a fiery red magician's magic robe, holding a magic wand made of peach wood in his hand, and the top of the wand was inlaid with a red magic core, judging from the magic power emitted by the magic core, it was a fourth-level magic beast magic core. After he came on the field, he didn't pay attention to the swordsman opposite, but recited the spell there, which made Kong Ming look very strange, so he casually asked, "What is he doing?

"He's summoning his pets, and the mages are allowed to summon their own pets to participate in the battle before the game, otherwise it won't take long for the swordsman to take him down in such a small field. ”

Kong Ming nodded, indicating that it was clear, and Hu Siyue was once again sure that Kong Ming was not a member of the Guards, but just an ordinary senior swordsman from the countryside. At this time, the magician had already summoned his pet out, and it was actually a rare earth-walking dragon, which looked still young, and it was a fifth-level demonic beast. On the Huatian Continent, all people can have contract monsters as pets, and use pets to travel or fight, but magicians' pets can be summoned by magic, while other swordsmen, samurai, and archers can only be with their masters, I don't know why, there are many people who have studied for a long time and have not come up with a convincing answer. There are usually three ways to sign a contract with Warcraft, one is to use the eggs of Warcraft, and sign a contract with Warcraft before it is born, such Warcraft is generally very reliable and faithful, but their growth cycle is too long, and the consumption is too large, and more importantly, their combat effectiveness is not as good as the wild Warcraft of the same level, if you want it to grow rapidly, then you need a lot of magic cores or magic crystals to raise it; In this case, most of the Warcraft will die without signing a contract with that person, and the small number of Warcraft who signed the contract will bite the owner back to death under certain circumstances, because such Warcraft is usually stronger than its owner, although the contract stipulates that Warcraft cannot disobey the master's orders, but when Warcraft's resentment and the master's spirit cannot control Warcraft, it will directly face the Warcraft's backlash, which is allowed by the Warcraft contract, so this is a very dangerous contract to sign. The fourth-level magician in front of him summoned a fifth-level demonic beast, which belonged to the former and the last situation. It's just that Kongming can't tell which kind it belongs to. The dragon looked very tall, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately made the bar look small, almost reaching the roof of the house at a height of three meters, the scales on its back were gray, and its belly was slightly whiter, and its head shook in front of the magician, facing the swordsman. The swordsman was dressed in iron silver-white light armor, holding an ordinary sword in his right hand, and looked at the magician very calmly, without the slightest feeling of nervousness. There was a referee between the two, who was rambling to tell them some rules of the game, maybe a little longer, causing the audience below to be very dissatisfied, and the voices of boasting came one after another, but no one from the bar came out to stop this behavior, which is also a characteristic of the bar. After seeing that the audience's emotions were almost caught, Na Zhu finally left the ring and announced the start of the game.

After the start of the game, Kong Ming finally understood why the swordsman's confidence was so high, after he moved, everyone present knew that this was a swordsman of the wind system, such a swordsman is characterized by a very fast speed, as soon as the fighting spirit of the wind system came out, he revolved around the swordsman, so that every move of the swordsman looked very elegant, as if he was dancing, bypassing the dragon on the ground, and rushing towards the magician, this is a typical swordsman's tactics for the magician, after seeing the swordsman rushing over, the magician was not anxious at all, and directly ordered the earth dragon to go up and fight the swordsman, and he opened a magic cover, and then with the fireball continued to shoot at the swordsman, trying to make the swordsman busy, the swordsman saw the fireball flying over, hurriedly flashed to the side, avoiding the fireball, but avoided the fireball that the dragon attack was even more violent, forcing the swordsman to keep jumping from one side to the other, the sword in his hand was blocked by the huge claws of the earthly dragon, and gradually the force continued to weaken, twice the earthly dragon's claws slashed through the swordsman's armor, and issued a "quack, quack" At this moment, he suddenly saw him gritting his teeth, and an afterimage appeared between him and the magician, bypassing the huge Earth Walking Dragon, directly hitting the magician's fire shield, and the fire shield immediately dispersed, and the sword couldn't help but pause after breaking the fire shield, and the magician relied on this little time, and used the magic wand in his hand to block the swordsman's blow, it may be that the swordsman's afterimage consumed too much amount after hitting the fire shield, and I saw that the wand gently dissolved the swordsman's attack。 Immediately, it was the swordsman's close-quarters attack, the magician after blocking the swordsman's first attack, quickly cast the fire shield technique again, and at the same time used his wand to release a thick wall of fire, separating himself from the swordsman, the earth dragon saw that the swordsman broke through his own line of defense, his heart was very angry, turned around and rushed towards the swordsman, to entangle the swordsman again, but unfortunately the swordsman did not want to give the earth dragon a chance, he kept going around the front of the magician, so that the earth dragon was behind the magician, so that the three were in a line, then the role of the earth dragon was indirectly abolished。 It's a pity that this is just wishful thinking on the part of the swordsman, the magician is obviously also very good at fighting in this area, using the effect of the wall of fire, covering the swordsman's sight, and then flashing to the side, letting the earthly dragon pass by his original place, he is on the side of the earthly dragon, continuing to perform the fireball technique, harassing the swordsman's attack, the swordsman saw the magician flash to the side, he circled around the front of the magician, a fighting slash, and ran directly to the magician, the magician saw the fighting spirit slash flying over, he released a shining fireball, the fighting energy slash and the fireball collided together, there was a huge explosion sound and a flash of lightSeeing this, the swordsman's mood felt solemn for the first time, and the magician breathed a sigh of relief on the stage. When he found out that he was facing a wind swordsman, his heart felt heavy for a while, because in a small environment, the magician was a congenital weakness to the swordsman itself, not to mention that he was facing a wind swordsman, which was a swordsman known for his speed, and the earth dragon could not fully play its role in this environment. However, when the swordsman is forced to perform the afterimage attack, the mage knows that his chance to win has come, because the afterimage attack is an important attack skill for the swordsman, and this skill is a skill that sacrifices a lot of fighting energy in exchange for a moment of speed and attack power increase. In this case, the swordsman consumes a lot, while his magic power does not consume much, and the balance of victory has tilted in his favor. At this time, the swordsman was secretly bitter in his heart, he had seen that the magician had fallen into the trap he designed, but all the advantages were lost at once, although compared to the swordsmen of other departments, the consumption of the swordsmen of the wind system to perform this move was much smaller than theirs, but it was also a huge consumption, and he couldn't use it a few more times in his current situation. On the other hand, the mage is constantly hiding behind the Earth Walking Dragon, using the advantage of the Earth Walking Dragon to constantly attack him from behind, in one way he has to deal with a mage of the same level as him and a magical beast one level higher than him. Thinking of this, the swordsman suddenly opened the distance between himself and the magician against the convention, and retreated to the rear, and all the people were stunned when they saw this situation, because the advantage of the swordsman and the magician lies in the distance, and now the swordsman has opened the distance, isn't this the strength of this short attack on the enemy? The magician standing on the stage was also a little confused by the swordsman's movements.

Seeing this situation, Kong Ming's brows furrowed unconsciously, "What does the swordsman want to do?"

"I don't know. Maybe he has a long-range attack skill, anyway, just look at it. Hu Siyue replied.

"It seems that among the wind sword skills, there is a sword technique called the double split wind blade, which must be separated before it can attack, and it also has an ability that makes people stunned. Kong Ming said thoughtfully.

"What ability?" Hu Siyue asked strangely.

"Shadow clone, it can allow the swordsman to hide in those two fighting slashes, after the attack, it is as if the swordsman disappeared out of thin air, the most important thing is that the swordsman can switch between those two fighting slashes, after the attack, the swordsman appears in front of the target like a teleportation, this is a very terrifying sword skill, it is the special sword skill of the wind swordsman, and the swordsman of other departments cannot learn it. Kong Ming replied as he thought.

"Do you have this kind of sword skill? Then why don't I know?" Hu Siyue said strangely.

"Hehe, how can you know everything? This kind of sword skill is very difficult to practice, it is a very practical and popular sword skill, but apparently that the magician does not know the existence of this kind of thing. ”

"Hmph!" Seeing Kong Ming talking about something she didn't know really made her a little unhappy, at this time, the waiter brought the food of the two and put it in front of them, and the two watched the game while eating.

The magician obviously didn't expect to see the swordsman act like this, but he didn't let go of the swordsman because of this, and put the Earth Walking Dragon in front again, he hid behind the Earth Walking Dragon, and the moment he hid behind the Earth Walking Dragon, the Earth Walking Dragon also blocked his sight, and then the swordsman suddenly moved, and the two fighting qi flew to the back of the Earth Walking Dragon, which was the double split wind blade that Kong Ming said, and at the same time as the fighting spirit appeared, the swordsman also disappeared his figure. Seeing this situation, several people in the stands below shouted "Double Wind Blade,"

"It's a two-way wind slash,"

"Double split wind slash. ”

Listening to those people shouting, the magician had not yet reacted, stopped the magic he was preparing, and looked in the direction of the swordsman from the side of the earthly dragon, but he only saw a fighting qi slash flying over, and he was a little disappreciative in his heart, and did not mean to increase the thickness of the fire shield at all, and continued to prepare magic spells. But he obviously underestimated the power of the Double Wind Slash, only to see that the two Dou Qi Slashes seemed to be conscious, bypassing the Earth Walking Dragon and directly attacking the fire shield, and the Earth Walking Dragon was so close that his huge body could not move flexibly, and he could not stop the Fighting Qi Slash from flying over. In the mage's stunned, the first Dou Qi Slash directly shattered the fire shield, while the other Dou Qi Slash split the mage away and flew out of the ring.

"Looks like you've lost two gold coins, hehe. Hu Siyue laughed charmingly, her beautiful face, charming eyes, and moving voice made Kong Ming lost. "Look at what, nerd. She saw Kongming's gaffe and said flirtatiously. A person like Kong Ming has never experienced anything like this, how can he know Hu Siyue's thoughts, and said stupidly, "Look at you!" After finishing speaking, he completely regretted it, although this was his sincere words. Sure enough, after Hu Siyue heard it, her face sank, "Hmph, eat." Although Hu Siyue is not very old, the number of courtships in front of her is not a small number, after all, whether it is her family or her beauty, she has many admirers, and those admirers have spent a lot of effort for her slight smile, and people like Kong Ming who say such stupid things, not one hundred but also eighty, have long exercised a strong immunity, but seeing Kong Ming's unconscious confession still makes her heart move, although her mouth is annoyed, she is really happy in her heart, so her face does not show the expression that she should be annoyed, but has a stunned charm, making Kong Ming even more depraved in the love network she deliberately weaved. Seeing that Kong Ming was still stunned, Hu Siyue shouted again, "What to see, eat!" Kong Ming got rid of Hu Siyue's charm. When Kong Ming came back to his senses, Kong Ming's whole body broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about the loss of consciousness just now, there was a trace of fear in his heart, not for Hu Siyue's beauty, but for the vigilance he lost, if this was on the battlefield, then he would have died a long time ago, this is a lesson in blood, Kong Ming didn't understand, why he had this situation after seeing Hu Siyue, but he knew that he couldn't lose his due vigilance no matter when he thought of this, although Hu Siyue left the seeds of love in his heart, he could no longer let him indulge in this inadvertent tenderness。 The eyes also became sharper from confusion. On the contrary, Hu Siyue saw that Kong Ming came to her senses so quickly, and there was some strangeness in her heart, because she not only used her beauty to Kong Ming, but also added the magic "blessing" of the light system to Kong Ming , She is a light magician, and the blessing is a magic combined with the light spirit system, it can not only make people's wounds heal, but also affect people's minds while performing, making people feel the sacredness of magicians, and unconsciously make people lose a certain amount of control over themselves, and at this time, Kong Ming can wake up so quickly, which really surprised her a little.
