Chapter 7 The 1:1000 Bet
After Vane and Irina left, Cornelia stood there awkwardly for a while.
Bing Zhixiao didn't speak, he was leaning under the stone pier with a pamphlet and reading, and Cornelia didn't know what to do.
Zuihou or Cornelia broke the awkward atmosphere first, stepped forward and asked, "What are you looking at, can you let me take a look?"
Bing Zhixiao closed the booklet: "No. ”
Cornelia didn't expect him to answer like this, and she was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to say next.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the other side of the dueling arena, and the onlookers were all talking.
Cornelia wanted to go over there to see what was going on, and just took two steps and turned back: "Ice childish, don't you want to take a look?"
"Uh-huh. Bing Zhixiao also followed, he was actually not interested in these competitions, and only took a look at them when he passed the time.
In the crowd, on a 40×40-meter-long square stone platform, two people stood facing each other, one in his twenties holding a staff of red gems, and the other holding a book of magic books in his hand, wearing a very well-made green magic robe, and a medal of intermediate magician hung on the robe.
Intermediate magicians are also known as green-robed mages, and although green magic robes can be bought anywhere, there is an unwritten rule in the wizard world that the color of the magic robe is used to distinguish the level between magicians.
The other man held a broadsword in both hands, and wore only a scale armor on his body to protect himself. As a fighter in hand-to-hand combat, a piece of scale armor is not enough.
The people around the stage were all talking and pointing at the magician on the stage.
When Cornelia saw that the magician was dressed so gorgeously, he must have been a person of status, and after listening to the onlookers, she exclaimed, "He is Herroha!"
"Huh?" said Ice Childish, looking at her inquiringly.
Cornelia explained, "Bridget Herroha belongs to the Bridget family, one of the five great families of the imperial capital. I heard that he has been studying magic at the Royal Inner School, but I didn't expect to become an intermediate green-robed magician at such a young age!"
"Is the Royal Colonel good?" asked the Frozen Evil a question that he asked knowingly.
Cornelia said, "Of course. The students of the Royal Inner School are all personally instructed by the court magicians, and they are basically taught by one teacher and one by one, which is much better than learning in the academy. It's just that the Royal Colonel is only for the children of the Pope's family and extremely noble nobles, and my father originally wanted to send me to the Royal Colonel, but unfortunately he didn't ......"
Ice Evil nodded slightly, ignoring the loss of Cornelia next to her.
There was another exclamation in the crowd, and they all got out of the way, and it was Christine Bimoyer, one of the five families of the Imperial Capital who was called by Pige Lowe, who was very similar to Bing Zhiyi.
Cornelia exclaimed again and quickly stepped back a bit. A hint of blush appeared on his face, looking at this snow-white haired young man with an indifferent expression.
In the entire crowd, only Bing Zhiye did not move, this was the second time he had met this guy who was known as the first day of the imperial capital. The same white hair, the same handsome cheeks, and the same height, if it weren't for the indifference of one expression, one casual expression, a pair of red eyes, and a pair of black eyes, almost all of them would be considered brothers. Of course, Ice Childish and Bimoyer don't look alike.
Bimoyer glanced at the motionless guy standing beside him in a shabby magic hat, and then looked at the stage, as if he had no ear to the exclamations and admiration around him.
Naturally, Heroha also noticed the arrival of Bimoyer, and said with a somewhat contemptuous smile: "Yo, how come the ice cubes of Christine's family are also here?"
Bimoyer ignored him at all, just stood there and watched.
Heroha didn't seem to care about his rudeness of not replying to his words, but just smiled: "How about this intermediate magician's medal I got a few days ago, it's quite beautiful." Hehe, I have competed against several guys of our generation in the five major families of the imperial capital, except for you, Ursula and Sert, and I will compete with you when I clean up this guy. ”
Bimoye suddenly said coldly: "Let's wait until you clean him up." ”
Heroha frowned, Rao is no matter how cultivated he is, he is looked down upon by Bimoyer, who is a few years younger than himself in the generation of the same five major families, how can he not be angry. He suddenly said, "What do you mean by this, do you think that I, a green-robed magician, can't beat a beginner-level warrior?" As he spoke, he threw the book aside, pressed his two hands on the red gem of the magic wand, and everyone around him felt that the air was getting hotter, and the powerful magic guided the fire element to turn around him, and three slender red fire snakes conjured out, flying dazzlingly around him.
"It's a powerful magic flame dancing snake! It's so powerful that it can control three of them. The people around him were amazed.
Another person said: "Hey, isn't it an intermediate magician? how can he even use the high-level magic so strong, and he clearly has the strength of a high-level magician." ”
"That swordsman is miserable now. Compared with the students of the Royal Inner School, how can it be compared. ”......
The discussion in the audience made the swordsman on the stage also start to sweat, and his eyes were fixed on Heroha. There were two people in the audience who seemed to be friends with the swordsman, and whispered behind him: "Hey, why don't you fight, anyway, we have earned enough money, repair equipment and room and board expenses, let's go." ”
The swordsman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had the idea in his heart.
How do you know that a few good people suddenly put on a gambling game: "Come on, come on, I'll be the banker when you open the game." Buy one of the five major families, Bridget Heroha, win, the odds are 10:1, buy this junior warrior win 1:100, everyone come and buy it. ”
When everyone heard that another gambling game was opened, they all surrounded it. "I bought 20 silver Heroha wins. "I also buy 1 gold Heroha. "And me, too, buy 50 silver coins, dealer, don't lose money and don't give money." "A large group of people all bought Heroha Sheng, after all, they must be members of one of the five major families, and they are magicians who have studied in the Royal Inner School, so they are so powerful in front of them.
The two partners of the swordsman secretly said that it was not good, and now they can't leave if they want to, and if this gamble is not opened, those people will not beat them to death. ,
Heloha stood on the stage and looked at the crowd below, smiled slightly, and said proudly: "How about Bimoyer, do you want to buy me to win?"
Bimoyer looked at the two companions in the swordsman's circle. Both men were wearing metal armor, but they were in tatters, and they were still carrying a pair of torn armor. Their armor also had a red moon on it, a mark that only the soldiers who had served in the Demon Moon Empire would have emblazoned.
The guys who opened the gambling game saw that the money on the table was already piled up like a hill, but they all won by buying Heroha. If it was really Heroha who won, then the dealer would have to pay to death, but those guys stopped the people who were going to continue to buy, and used a big bag to load the front one on the big table, and shouted loudly: "We have already remembered the people who bought it before, from now on the 50:1 loss for buying Heroha's victory, and the 1:1000 loss for buying the swordsman's win." ”
The odds of 1:1000 immediately caused quite a stir. Some people were wondering if they should buy a copy of the swordsman, and if they won, they would pay 1,000 times the compensation, but this person's idea was immediately dispelled by the person next to him, telling him that buying a swordsman was just throwing money into it for nothing, and it was better to buy all the money to Heroha, and he could earn one.
Gheroha's odds went down, but on the contrary, more people bought it, one by one, as if they were sure that Heroha would not lose, and some even bought it with gold rolls with money in the bank.
Heroha on the stage raised his eyebrows and looked at Bimoye with satisfaction.
Bimoyer gave him a cold look, walked to the table without hurry, and took out a gold coin and placed it on the empty swordsman's side. To his surprise, someone was one step ahead of him and placed a gold coin at the swordsman's place, and Bimoyer looked up to find that this person was the same guy standing motionless next to him.
Naturally, the actions of Bimoye and Ice Childish Evil attracted everyone's attention, and they all watched them quietly. Many people hesitated again, even Christine Bimoyer bought a swordsman's victory, should he also buy it.
Heroha on stage laughed, "I knew you would." Do you want to be upset with a gold coin? Yes, you can earn some pocket money if you win, and it is just a gold coin if you lose. ”
Heroye's words woke up many people: "Yes, he only bought a gold coin, oops, fortunately he didn't buy it." ”
Everyone felt the same way.
The people who opened the gambling game didn't even remember their names, and the swordsman who bought it must have won more than Moyer and Bing Zhixie: "Okay, okay, I'm going to buy it, I'm done with it, don't delay everyone to watch the show." ”
Conelia, who was next to her, admired Bimoyer's behavior, and was also surprised that the Ice Child, who looked like a little brother, would buy a swordsman to win, and buy it in front of Bimoye.
Heroha snorted, picked up the book on the ground, patted it, and handed it to the person next to him to help him hold it.
The swordsman on the stage looked at the other party's clean and brand-new magic robe and the beautiful mid-level magician medal, smiled on his face, as if he had confidence, and stepped forward and saluted: "Are you ready, let's start." ”
Heroha was very unhappy with the swordsman's words: "What do you call me better, don't blame me for not showing mercy to my subordinates for a while!"
The two exchanged a pre-fight salute. Immediately Heroha silently recited the magic incantation, and a lightning bolt burst from the palm of his hand, and an electric current shot out from Herroha's fingertips.
Thunder magic is very harmful to the swordsman wearing a metal coat, but the swordsman seems to have expected it, and when he dodged sideways, his body carried the battle qi, and the metal broadsword interrupted the flying current, and actually attached the thunder and lightning to the sword and slashed at him.
Everyone in the audience paid special attention to the fight, and every time Herohache showed a magic spell, everyone in the audience applauded, but every time the swordsman narrowly escaped his magic, they fell silent again.
Heroha was full of confidence at first, and forced the swordsman to be embarrassed several times, but after a dozen spells, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Every time he cast a spell, the other party seemed to be able to anticipate it, and made a judgment very early on, avoiding his attacks one after another, although a few spells also hit him, but those were a few insignificant interfering fireballs.
On the other side, the swordsman became more and more confident and energetic, but he forced the magician into the corner of the ring several times, but he was shocked by the opponent's powerful magic power. However, he was not discouraged by this, and the speed of the sword was faster than one move, and sometimes before the other party had even cast a magic, he had already seen that he had already thought of a way to crack it.
The people in the audience were silent, and they quietly looked at the stage one by one.
Losing a very haode mentality, Heroha's movements became chaotic, and sometimes he didn't know what he was doing, so he picked up his staff and knocked on the other party's head to fight him. As a qualified magician, he has also learned quite a lot of fighting skills, but his current situation is completely out of order.
At this time, the swordsman occupied the obvious upper peak, forcing Heroha to sweat more and rescitate his back, and the brand-new magic robe on his body was slashed by the sword several times, if it were not for the good material, it would have already become a fragment. It didn't take long for the swordsman's flying kick to kick Heroha out of the ring, causing everyone in the audience to sigh.
"I'm sorry, I started a little harder. The swordsman jumped off the stage and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
Where was Heroha willing to take over, he was stared at by the people around him with strange eyes, his face was as red as a monkey's ass, and he only wished that there was a crack in the ground to get into, and this time he would lose the face of his family.
