Chapter 42: The Old Gambler

Bypassing the periphery of the Warcraft Forest, there are two tall cliffs, thousands of meters high, magnificent, there is a sloping and extending road in the middle of the cliff, and the valley is full of miasma that is diffused, in the middle of winter, the heavy snow covers the broken stone slabs on the road, but you can still vaguely see the footprints of human beings. net

This is what Geming called Black Blade Canyon.

Looking at the cliff walls covered with moss traces on both sides and wrapped in ice crystals, Duan Lie was confused, he had always thought that Ge Ming felt that there was no better facility in the War Spirit Academy so he brought himself into the Demonic Beast Forest, and quickly improved his cultivation by hunting and killing demonic beasts, but the truth was obviously a little different from what he imagined.

"What are we doing here?" Duan Lie scratched his head in some confusion.

Ge Ming smiled and said, "You sit down first and listen to me." ”

Duan Lie looked around, either the snow-covered earth or the rocks with thick ice, where to sit.

"I'll stand. ”

"That's fine. Ge Ming said: "Tokai itself is much stronger than yours, and it is impossible for you to defeat him when you cultivate in the Battle Soul Academy, so I brought you here." ”

He pointed to the slope of the mezzanine road: "Walking along the road from here, it is the intersection of several major towns in the empire, that is, the hinterland of the Black Blade Canyon, where there is a specific place composed of many complex forces, called the "Black Blade Gladiatorial Arena", I will give you a letter, go there, you find a person called "Old Gambler" Guy, he will teach you the thunder fighting spirit and thunder skills, the next part of the road, you have to go by yourself, remember, your time is a month to two months, arrange your own time back and forth, you should be able to remember the road I just took you, well, when you come back, just follow the path you came. ”

After the fat man finished speaking seriously, he handed over a dirty envelope with a few oil spots to Duan Lie, and then gave a bulging bag, Duan Lie weighed it, and there were at least fifty gold coins in it.

The more Duan Lie listened, the more confused he became: "Hey, aren't you going with me?"

Ge Fatty's rare face blushed, and then returned to normal: "I won't go, oh yes, just find the old gambler and give him the letter, oh, and gold coins, this guy likes gold coins the most, and also, if he asks me how I am, you can say ...... It's a miserable mix......"

Throwing down Duan Lie, who was confused by the second monk, the fat man fled like a snowball, and for the fat man who disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, Duan Lie was stunned at the entrance of the Black Frontier Canyon for more than ten minutes.

"This fat man, alas, ......"

There is no way, since he is here, he has to see what kind of place the "Black Blade Gladiatorial Arena" is, walking down the canyon ramp, Duan Lie thought that it would become more and more gloomy, who knew that it would not even be two hours, and the terrain was getting more and more open.

Although the heavy snow in midwinter completely covered the hinterland of the valley, when he entered the belly, Duan Lie also found a small forest, the trees here are all cold-hardy, even in the very low temperature season, they still maintain a lush appearance, finger-length needles on the shade of the trees that cover the sky with the cold wind swaying weakly, and the sound of rustling comes and goes.

Faintly, Duan Lie could hear occasional bursts of noisy noises from the depths of the silent forest.

Walking in the direction from which the sound came, there were traces of felling, and then the terrain became more and more flat, and even though there were thousands of peaks on all sides to block the sun, the light inside was abundant.

After walking for another hour, an open gravel road appeared, obviously a man-made paved gravel road with the remnants of the night's snow, but not much, as if someone had cleaned it, and further on, the gravel road became a stone road, and at the same time slowly turned from desolation to prosperity.

Through a thick fog, there were fighters in leather clothes and velvet jackets in the open area in front of the stone road, and at the same time, the shouting and shouting reached Duan Lie's ears, and there were already brick and stone houses in front of him, one by one, messily placed on the stone road.

It's like a small town, not big in size, but it's well equipped: a vendor selling scones, a butcher chopping frozen hard meat, a fighter squatting next to him with a wooden plank and still selling monster furs, a sweeping aunt not far away sweeping the snow in front of the door, and her neighbor actually gesturing at the door with a knife and gun.

The more Duan Lie looked, the more he felt the novelty: What is this, a hodgepodge?

Even the town where the battlers and ordinary people intersect that even Coldwind City does not have has appeared so strangely.

Of course, Duan Lie's novelty was quickly attracted by the tall circular gladiatorial arena not far away, which was a huge gladiatorial arena made of rocks, Chinese-style architecture and simple style, but there were traces of European style, and the noisy drumming sound came from the gladiatorial arena, although it was thousands of meters away, it was still very clear.

And every time a horn came from the gladiatorial arena, the entire canyon would be shaken three times because of the cheers that followed, and the cheers were very frequent, it seemed that they would appear once in a few minutes, or maybe once in ten minutes, anyway, after Duan Lie came in, he heard no less than five or six times in less than an hour.

Every time the horn sounded, Duan Lie also found that whether it was a hawker or a sweeping aunt around, they would all glance in the direction of the gladiatorial arena, some were happy, some were annoyed, happily spread their legs and ran, and those who were annoyed threw a roll of paper on the ground, and then went their separate ways.

Duan Lie, who didn't understand what the Black Blade Gladiatorial Arena was, scratched his head, and simply looked for someone first, he walked to the side of the sweeping aunt, and asked very politely: "Auntie, can I ask you about someone? ”

The aunt raised a pockmarked face, the broom in her hand was beaten, and she replied, "Is there any money?"

"Huh?" Duan Lie was stunned: "Yes, not much, what's wrong?"

"Give me five silver coins, I'll tell you......" Auntie reached out and wiped her oily apron.

“......”

Duan Lie reluctantly sent five silver coins, smoothly inquired about the old gambler's residence, and walked along the stone road of Heifeng Canyon Town, which was not even a city wall, for about half an hour, and finally came to the outside of a row of old broken stone houses, according to the route given by the aunt, in front of a house with wooden signs hanging on the beams.

Interestingly, Duan Lie found that this was actually a downtown area, because the beams of each stone house were hung with wooden signs, and there was a mess of everything: "Li Ma Tailor House", "Hei Feng Tea Room", "Tutu Weapon Shop"......

There are so many things, and even the names are very strange, and they are simply based on their temperament, and it turns out that this is a shop.

In front of each shop, there is a burning stove, which connects the walls of each stone house, and the sound of the wind is like a monster roaring in the dark night, blowing a row of chimneys on the roof of the stone houses bulging with green smoke......

"Old Gambler......" Duan Lie looked for it from house to house, and after a while, a ridiculous wooden sign came into view.

Bet to win in the pharmacy!

Duan Lie almost laughed out loud after reading it: Old gamblers, bets must win, it's really appropriate.

It seems that this is the place he is looking for, Duan Lie patiently stepped forward and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door with nearly a dozen holes, and before he could go in, a pungent smell of medicine and choking black smoke swept over his face, and Duan Lie almost fainted directly.

"Ahem, ahem, is there anyone?" Duan Lie covered his nose and walked in, the light inside was extremely dim, basically like a small black room, only a few rays of sunlight shone in through the only window in the northeast, reflecting the house full of wreckage.

"Huh, the old gambler seems to be a secret pharmacist. Looking at the bottles and cans scattered in every corner of the room, Duan Lie generally understood that the old gambler ran the industry.

And just after he finished asking, an old man who was dirty walked out, with black and white unkempt hair piled up on his head like a chicken nest, and a thin and thin face like a demon who had just crawled out of the graveyard, the old man staggered out with sleepy eyes, squinted his eyes and looked at Duan Lie for a long time before saying: "Do you want to dispense medicine?" There is a price list at the door. ”

Duan Lieqi was happy: "I'm sorry, I'm not here to dispense medicine, I'm here to find someone?"

"Who's it for? I don't have anyone else here but me. The old man said very reluctantly, turned his head and was about to go inside, and kept muttering: "Why did you lose again, damn lightning, it's really not angry." He threw something he didn't know on the ground and stomped on it twice.

"Old gentleman, are you an old gambler?" Duan Lie asked.

The old man paused, and didn't look back: "It's so fresh, didn't you look at the signboard in front of the door before you came in?"

Hearing this, Duan Lie concluded that this old man was the old gambler in the mouth of Ge Fatzi, so he simply explained his intention and took out the letter: "Old man, I was introduced by Vice President Geming, and there is a letter from him?"

"Who?" the old man stopped as if he had been struck by lightning, and immediately turned around and touched it like a half-blind man, his thin and thin face came to Duan Lie's face and was about to be pasted when he froze, snatched the letter in his hand and opened it and stared at it for a long time, before he said something that almost made Duan Lie faint to death: "Damn, my eyes are getting more and more useless, help me find my glasses first." ”

"......" Duan Lie was speechless and rummaged around the room, and soon found an eye with the thickness of the bottom of the bottle.

The old man put on his glasses, finished reading the letter, and suddenly crumpled the letter in anger, threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times: "Damn fat man, push everything on me." ”

After scolding rudely, the old man pushed the frame of his glasses and asked very dissatisfiedly: "You are the fat student, the one who is going to duel with Tokai?"

"Yes, old sir. ”

"Damn it. The old man scolded again, and then said seriously: "Go back and tell Ge Fatzi, I have a clear price here, even if I help him teach you to fight spirit, you have to collect gold coins, there is no money to come, hurry up." ”

The old man was shocked as he spoke, Duan Lie was stiff after hearing this, and then he remembered that the fat man had given himself a gold coin bag: "Old man, wait, I have gold coins here, and it was Vice President Geming who asked me to hand them over to you." ”

"Gold coins?" The old man's eyes suddenly widened, bursting with brilliant light, and at this moment, even Duan Lie was not sure if the old man had returned to his light.

A gust of wind snatched away the gold coin bag, the old man opened the mouth of the bag and looked inside, suddenly not as hateful as before, and said with a smile: "Haha, lovely child, your arrival really makes me happy, you look very handsome, don't you? Come with me, from today onwards, you can make this place your home." ”

Looking at the old gambler's inconsistent reflections dumbfounded, Duan Lie could only say: "Ya wipe, the old money fan ......" kneeling and begging to share
