Volume I.: The Imperial Capital Chapter 95: Seeing a Stranger in a Foreign Land
And Luo Lan, after leaving the airport with Fang Li, went straight to a huge circular building. The streets are full of people and dressed in all kinds of clothes, which shows the openness and tolerance of King's Landing.
"You Luobei, you don't have the peace you imagined." Fang Li quipped.
"Alas, my second brother and Sister Xue are both very utilitarian people, and the big city lord of King's Landing City is a fat man, and his power is also quite large, so they will definitely spare no effort to fight." Luo Lan shook her head and sighed.
"Then who will you support?" Fang Li asked curiously.
Luo Lan thought for a moment, then stretched out a finger and shook it.
“?” A question mark appeared on Fang Li's head, what do you mean, the first one? Or don't tell me?
"None of them!" Seeing this, Luo Lan rolled her eyes helplessly, "I'm too lazy to get involved in their struggle for power and profit, cultivating hard, and entering the Sky Star Academy is the right way." ”
Hearing this, Fang Li's eyes showed surprise, and he gave Luo Lan a thumbs up: "It's worthy of you!" ”
The two of them walked and walked, and soon came to a huge circular building, which was obviously quite popular, and the entrance was already surrounded by water, and the people in line were almost lined up on the main road!
"That's too many people." Fang Li was a little surprised, this was a gladiatorial arena! It's not a food court or an auction hall or something, why are there so many people? This martial arts atmosphere in Luobei is so fierce?
Luo Lan stared forward, and thought about what day it was today, but suddenly realized: "It seems that you came at the right time, these two days happen to be a unique festival in Luobei - the Gladiatorial Festival, every time at this time, the rewards for gladiatorial battles in the gladiatorial arena will be extremely rich, and there will be royal family salutes, so there will be a lot of people." ”
As he spoke, Luo Lan's eyes showed some fiery color, rubbed his palms, and said, "I haven't participated in this gladiatorial festival for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet it this time, and I also played with it." ”
"Yo, is our third prince going to be on it too?" Fang Li chuckled, "You little white face, you can't be beaten badly, right?" ”
"Who do you mean with a white face?" Luo Lan raised her eyebrows and rolled up her sleeves.
"What's the matter, let's have a fight?" Fang Li stretched out his finger and hooked it at Luo Lan, with a smile on his face.
"Humph!" Luo Lan snorted and said, "Come on, I'm afraid you won't make it!" You'd better hope that you won't be in the same group as this prince later! ”
"Otherwise, hum~"
Fang Li smiled, his eyes were also full of curiosity about this gladiatorial festival, and there was a high-spirited battle intent in his eyes, after I was promoted, I haven't fought happily! It's better to take this opportunity to have a good fight!
The two of them wanted to participate in the gladiatorial fight, but it was not as simple as they said, they directly lined up in the long queue in front of the gladiatorial arena, ready to sign up, and then, a blockbuster!
As for why there is no VIP channel or the like, according to Luo Lan, this is a rule set by the royal family, gladiatorial battles such as competitions with their own abilities, the prince and the common people are equal, there are no royal privileges or the like, even if Emperor Luobei comes, he has to line up obediently.
The two followed the crowd of black pressure and slowly moved forward, and this registration was an hour.
It took a full hour for the two of them to be in line. Then, when the registration officer who signed them up saw Luo Lan coming to register, he inevitably exclaimed: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince?!" ”
This exclamation immediately caused exclamations from the surrounding circles. The rest of the registration officers all looked at them, and the people around them who were signing up were also full of excitement!
"It's actually the third prince!"
"The three princes also came to line up to participate, and it is really the equality of all beings!"
"Let's do it later······ Don't offend the three princes. ”
"Wow, the third prince is so handsome!"
“······”
The people around came sideways, and exclaimed in their mouths, after all, the three princes are really not seen in the royal family on weekdays, and such big people have rarely appeared in public!
"We are all happy about gladiatorial fights, come on, everyone!" Luo Lan turned around and arched her hand to the people around her, smiled and greeted, and then took the token from the registration officer and walked towards the gladiatorial arena.
This thing is still very sassy as he walks, turning around, waving to the back, attracting cheers from behind. He glanced at Fang Li as if provocatively, and the meaning was clearly saying: Look at my popularity, is it high?
Fang Li glared at him helplessly, and immediately reported his name to the registration officer, who handed him a black token with "46" engraved on it.
After he took the token, he walked towards the gladiatorial arena, and after entering, he realized that the gladiatorial arena was not open-air, and there was a cave in it.
First, there is a staircase facing down, and after going down, there is a huge underground square, but the square is now divided into countless areas, and above each area, there are shimmering numbers hanging high, corresponding to the area.
Fang Li unleashed the power of his spiritual sense, probed upwards through the ground above his head, and found that there were independent circular rings separated above, and there was a layer of light array around each ring, as well as the corresponding stands and boxes, which were quite advanced.
In this way, the number on the token is the number of the group, first group for the group stage, and then stand out in the group stage, and then continue to compete? Just by looking at it, Fang Li probably guessed the competition system, which is very simple and easy to understand.
"Hey, what group are you in?" On the side, Luo Lan came to his side and asked.
"Forty-six, what about you?" Fang Li asked rhetorically.
"I'm thirty-eight." When Luo Lan heard this, she sighed with some regret, "It seems that we won't be able to meet in the first round." ”
"What is the format here, group stage plus knockout round?" Fang Li asked.
Luo Lan thought for a while, and then replied: "First of all, there are sixteen people in each group, and the draw is divided into eight groups, and the eight people who win will continue to draw lots and group until there is one person left, and that person will stand out from the group and enter the second round." ”
"The second round is a melee in the ring, and a total of 640 people who won the first round will enter the big ring in the gladiatorial arena, and the ring melee will be based on the length of time as the result, and the one who persists until the end will be the champion."
"Fighting in the Ring ······" Fang Li's eyes flickered slightly, this second round was interesting, I thought it was just an ordinary one-on-one elimination, but I didn't expect the second round to be this kind of big scuffle.
Dogfights are good! Muddy waters, it's good to fish.
Thinking of this, the corners of Fang Li's mouth seemed to reveal an evil smile.
"You... Why are you laughing so intimidatingly? Luo Lan glanced at the smile, and suddenly felt a chill in her back, it's over, the little devil in this guy's heart won't be released, right?
"Ahem." Fang Li coughed lightly, and then said again: "Thank you." ”
"Well, I'll go first." Luo Lan nodded, raised the token in his hand, and turned to look for Area 38.
Fang Li glanced at the token in his hand again, and also went to find Area 46. This total of 640 areas is still randomly distributed, and it really made it easy for him to find No. 46.
There were already eight or nine people standing in that area. There was a big man with his arms in his arms, his face was full of fierceness, and everyone else was far away from him.
What surprised Fang Li was that he saw a petite and delicate girl, who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pair of big eyes looking around timidly.
Such a small girl, all to participate? At this moment, Fang Li understood how fierce this martial style was! Among the nine people in his spiritual sense detection, seven of them were at the peak of the Xuanmen realm, and one person was in the realm of one day, and on that girl's body, there was no yuan power fluctuation, but there was a faint spiritual sense fluctuation coming out.
The pinnacle of the spiritual realm? Or is it the first time to enter the Little Soul Realm? The look of doubt in Fang Li's eyes flashed, and he couldn't figure out what level that girl's spiritual sense was in.
He restrained his Yuan Li for a moment, suppressed his aura to the peak of the Xuanmen Realm, and then walked in. The eyes of the nine fell on him for a moment, and then they looked away one after another.
What Fang Li didn't notice was that when he came in, the girl glanced at him, and there was a slight panic in her eyes.
After a few moments, the remaining six people arrived one after another. After the last person arrived, the "46" above the area turned golden, and then a layer of light curtain at the edge of the area slowly rose, and faintly formation fluctuations appeared.
"There are spatial fluctuations, and next, I'm afraid there will be teleportation." Fang Li sensed it slightly, and muttered.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a silver light suddenly lit up under everyone's feet, and immediately after, they were teleported directly to a ring. In the ring, in addition to them, there was also a person dressed in the official uniform of Luobei.
The man glanced at them indifferently, only paused slightly on Fang Li, and then spoke: "Since the people of the forty-sixth group have arrived, then let's start directly." ”
He stretched out his fingers and directly began to click randomly.
"You, and you, the first one. The rest of the people waited, waiting in the stands! The man directly ordered the two of them to come out, the two Xuanmen Realm peaks, and then took the rest of the people to the stands.
The competition between the two Xuanmen Realm pinnacles began immediately.
For the battle on the stage, Fang Li just glanced at it, and didn't pay much attention, he observed the performance of the other thirteen people, except for the girl, the others were quite calm, and they all looked like they had been in battle for a long time.
Strange ······ Is this girl her first time? A petite little girl, why do you have to come here to fight for life and death? There was a little doubt and curiosity in Fang Li's eyes.
"Curious? Curious why she's here? The official seemed to sense Fang Li's curiosity, and stood beside him, and actually opened his mouth.
"Please also ask your seniors to teach you." Fang Li's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly.
