Chapter 9 Arena and Bet
After Wayne and Irina left, Nelia stood there awkwardly for a while.
Bing Zhixie didn’t say anything. He was leaning against the stone pillar and reading a pamphlet, but Nelia didn’t know what she was doing.
In the end, it was Cornelia who broke the awkward atmosphere first, stepped forward and asked: "What are you looking at? Can you let me take a look?"
Bing Zhixie took the little The booklet closed: "No."
But Nelia didn't expect him to answer like this, which made her even more embarrassed and didn't know what to say next.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the other side of the duel field, and the onlookers were talking about it.
Kenelia wanted to go over there to see what was going on. She took just two steps and turned back: "Bing Zhixie, don't you want to take a look?"
" Huh? Oh." Bing Zhixie also followed. He was actually not interested in these martial arts competitions. He only watched them to kill time.
In the crowd, two people stood face to face on a 40×40 meter square stone platform. One was in his twenties and was holding a red gemstone staff, and the other was holding a He was holding a magic book and was wearing a green magic robe of extremely fine workmanship. There was also a medal of an intermediate magician hanging on the robe.
Intermediate magicians are also called green-robed wizards. Although green magic robes can be bought everywhere, there is an unwritten rule in the magician world, which is to use the color of the magic robe to distinguish the level of magicians. .
The other man held a broad sword in both hands and only wore a piece of scale armor to protect himself. As a close combat warrior, a piece of scale armor is far from enough.
People around the stage were talking a lot and pointing at the magician on the stage.
When Cornelia saw that the magician was so gorgeously dressed, he must be a person of some status. After hearing the details from the onlookers, she exclaimed: "He is Heroha!"
"Huh?" Bing Zhixie looked at her questioningly.
Cornelia explained: "Bridget Heroha is from the Bridget family, one of the five major families in the imperial capital. I heard that he has been studying magic at the royal inner school. I didn't expect to become an intermediate magician at such a young age. Green-robed magician!"
"Is the Royal Inner School good?" Bing Zhixie asked a question that he knew very well.
Cornelia said: "Of course. The students in the royal inner school are personally guided by the court magician. Basically, they are taught by a teacher and a student. It is much better than studying in the academy. It’s just that the Royal Inner School only accommodates royal family members and extremely distinguished noble children. My father originally wanted to send me to the Royal Inner School, but unfortunately he didn’t..."
Bing Zhixie nodded lightly, no. Pay attention to the disappointment of Cornelia next to you.
There was another exclamation in the crowd, and they all moved aside a little. Walking into the crowd was Christine, one of the five major families in the imperial capital who was called by Big Luo to be very similar to Bing Zhixie. ·Bimoyer.
But Nelia exclaimed again and quickly backed away. A blush appeared on his face as he looked at the young man with snow-white hair and an indifferent expression.
Among the entire crowd, only Bing Zhixie did not move. This was his second meeting with the guy who was known as the number one genius in the imperial capital. They have the same white hair, the same handsome cheeks, and almost the same height. If one didn't behave indifferently, the other has a casual expression, a pair of red eyes, and a pair of black eyes, they would almost be considered brothers. Of course, Bing Zhixie and Bi Moye don't look alike.
Bimoyer glanced at the motionless guy standing next to him wearing an old magic hat, and then looked at the stage. He seemed to be completely oblivious to the exclamations and admirations around him. .
Heroha naturally noticed Bimoye's arrival, and smiled contemptuously: "Hey, how come Christine's ice cubes are here?"
Bi Moye Moye ignored him at all, just stood there and watched.
Heluoha didn't seem to care about his rudeness in not replying to her words. He just smiled and said: "How about this intermediate magician's medal that I just got a few days ago? It's quite beautiful. Haha, among the five major families in the imperial capital I have competed with all the guys of our generation, except you, Ursula and Selt. When I clean up this house I'll come and compete with you again."
Bimoye suddenly said coldly: "Let's wait until you deal with him."
He Luoha frowned. No matter how well-educated he was, he couldn't help but be angry when he was looked down upon by Bi Moye, who was from the same generation of the five major families and was several years younger than him. He suddenly laughed and said: "What do you mean? Do you think that a green-robed magician like me can't defeat a junior warrior?" He threw the book aside and pressed his two hands on the red part of the magic wand. On the gem, everyone around him felt that the air was getting hotter. The powerful magic power guided the fire element to rotate around him, and three slender red fire snakes appeared and danced dazzlingly around him.
"It's the Advanced Magic Flame Dancing Snake! It's such a powerful magic power, it can control three of them." The people around were shocked.
Someone else said: "Hey, aren't you an intermediate magician? How come the high-level magic you cast is so strong? It's obvious that you even have the strength of a high-level magician."
"The swordsman is in terrible shape now. How can he be compared with the students of the Royal Inner School?"...
The discussion in the audience made the swordsman on the stage also start to sweat. Come, keep your eyes on Heloha. There were two people in the audience who seemed to be the swordsman's friends. They whispered behind him: "Hey, why don't you stop fighting? Anyway, we have earned enough money, including equipment repairs and room and board expenses. Let's go. "The swordsman swallowed secretly, as if he had this idea in mind.
Unexpectedly, a few good people suddenly started a gambling game: "Come on, come on, I will be the banker when the game opens. If you want to bet, come and buy it..."
When everyone heard that there was another gambling game, they all gathered around in a coax. "I bought 20 silver Heroha to win." "I also bought 1 gold Heloha." "And I also bought 50 silver coins. Banker, don't lose money and not pay me." A large group of people all To buy Helohasheng, he must be a member of one of the five major families and a magician who studied in the royal inner school. Such powerful strength is right in front of him.
The swordsman's two companions secretly had a bad idea and couldn't leave now even if they wanted to. If the bet didn't start, those people wouldn't beat them to death.
Heluoha stood on the stage and looked at the crowd below, smiled slightly, and said proudly: "How about Bimoye, do you want to buy me to win too?"
Bimoye looked at him Looking at the two companions under the swordsman stage. The two guys were wearing metal armor, but both were badly damaged, and they were still carrying a pair of broken armor in their hands. There is also a red moon shape printed on their armor, which is a print that is only printed on soldiers who have served in the Demon Moon Empire.
The guys who opened the gambling game saw that the money on the table had piled up like a hill, but they were all won by buying Heloha. If it was really Heluoha who won, then the banker would have to pay to death, but those guys stopped the people who wanted to continue buying, and used a big bag to put the first one on the big table. The difference in odds As more and more people join the betting market, it becomes bigger and bigger.
These people all bet on him as if they were sure that Heroha would not lose. The rich ones even bought it with gold coupons saved in the bank.
Heluoha on the stage was happy and looked at Bimoye with satisfaction.
Bimoyer glanced at him coldly, walked to the gaming table unhurriedly, took out a gold coin and placed it next to the empty swordsman. What he didn't expect was that someone was one step ahead of him and placed a gold coin on the swordsman first. Bimoye looked up and found that this person was the guy standing motionless next to him.
The actions of Bimoye and Bingzhixie naturally attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at them quietly. Many people are hesitant again, even Christine Bimoyer bought Swordsman Victory, should they follow suit?
Heroha on the stage smiled and said: "I knew you would be like this. Do you want to be upset with one gold coin? Yes, you can earn some pocket money if you win, and it's only one gold coin if you lose. "
Heroye's words made many people wake up: "Yes, he only bought one gold coin. Oops, it's a good thing he didn't follow suit."
Everyone felt the same.
The person who opened the bet didn’t even remember their names. After all, the only people who won by buying the swordsman were Moye and Bing Zhixie: “Okay, okay, let’s leave the deal, it’s all finished. No, don’t delay everyone from watching the main show.”
While Cornelia admired Bimoye’s behavior, she was also surprised that Bing Zhixie, who looked like a little brother, would also buy it. The swordsman won, and he bought in front of Bimoye.
"It's just grandstanding. If you want to do something shocking, you have to see whether the person you bet on has the strength." Heloha snorted lightly and looked at the opponent's swordsman with disdain. He picked up the book on the ground, patted it, and handed it to the person next to him to hold it for him.
The swordsman on the stage looked at the opponent's clean and brand-new magic robe and the beautiful mid-level magician's medal. He smiled, as if he had gained confidence, and stepped forward to salute: "Are you ready? , let’s get started.”
Heloha was very unhappy with the swordsman's words: "What do you mean, am I okay? Don't blame me for being merciless for a while!"
The two of them gave each other a salute before the fight. Heloha immediately recited the magic spell silently, and lightning flashed out from the palm of his hand, and a stream of electricity shot out from Heloha's fingertips.
Thunder magic is very harmful to swordsmen wearing metal coats, but the swordsman seemed to have expected it. He ducked sideways, summoned fighting spirit on his body, and struck the metal broadsword covered with fighting spirit. Interrupting the flying current, he actually attached lightning to his sword and struck him.
Everyone in the audience paid special attention to this fight. Every time Heroha cast a spell, everyone in the audience cheered, but every time the swordsman was in danger, When she escaped his magic, she fell silent again.
Heroha was confident at first, forcing the swordsman into embarrassment several times, but after more than a dozen spells, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Every time he casts a spell, the other party seemed to be able to predict it. He made a judgment very early and avoided his attacks one after another. Although there were a few spells that hit him, they were only a few insignificant interferences. Fireball.
On the other side, the swordsman became more confident and energetic as he fought. He forced the Heloha magician to the corner of the ring several times, but was knocked away by the opponent's powerful magic power. However, he was not discouraged by this, and the speed of the sword was even faster than the previous one. Sometimes, before the opponent even cast a spell, he could already tell that he had already thought of a way to break it.
Everyone in the audience fell silent and looked at the stage quietly.
Having lost a good mentality, Heloha's movements became hurried. Sometimes he didn't even know what he was doing. He even picked up a staff and hit the opponent on the head to fight with him. . As a qualified magician, he has also learned considerable fighting skills, but his current situation is completely out of order.
At this time, the swordsman had the obvious upper hand, forcing Heloha to sweat profusely. His brand-new magic robe was struck by the sword several times. If it were not made of good material, it would have been broken into pieces. . Not long after, the swordsman kicked Heroha off the ring with a flying kick, making everyone in the audience boo.
"I'm sorry, I was a little harsh." The swordsman jumped off the stage and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
How dare Heroha take over? The people around him looked at him with strange eyes. His face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. This time, his family's face would be greatly embarrassed.
