Chapter 272 The troublemakers are coming
The game started, and the first batch of contestants were called away.
There are 256 contestants, and there are 128 games in the first round. It is impossible to compete slowly one by one.
The arena with a diameter of nearly 90 meters is divided into nine parts with a nine-square grid. The middle one is the referee area, and the eight surrounding areas are competition areas. Eight games are held at the same time.
The organizers have put great thought into the schedule, and the high-star players are kept as far apart as possible to prevent them from meeting in advance.
Players who are expected to reach the top 64 will basically face half-star players in the first few rounds. The real exciting games will not appear until the competition for the top 32 spots.
Each game lasts 10 minutes, with a 5-minute game change in the middle. Today’s game is expected to end in 4 hours.
Frederick was glad that he came out early and didn’t have to play in the back in the sun.
He was called by the staff and went to the weapons depot first, where he could receive leather armor and helmets.
But he didn’t want it, he didn’t need it.
It didn't take long for Frederick to come on the field, but I was a little confused, why did I have two opponents?
The referee came over, slapped a player on the back of the head who had gone to the wrong place, and kicked him to the side field.
The referee in the middle rang the starting bell, and the young man immediately rushed towards Frederick with his weapon raised.
Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his opponent seriously.
This man is in his twenties and has a rather burly build. A double-sided battle ax does not seem to weigh much in his hand.
When his opponent was approaching, Frederick suddenly took two steps back and took one step to the right. As a result, the man's steps were messed up in order to adjust his pace, and he failed to coordinate his body shape and force when the ax struck down.
His body shape was wrong. After Frederick got out of the way, he could only use an awkward posture to turn the empty ax into a horizontal slash.
In this way, the speed of the ax was slowed down, and Frederick had time to take a step back calmly, allowing the horizontal slash to miss.
Fighting with an opponent whose strength level is much lower than his own does not increase experience points, so Frederick decided to end the game quickly.
When holding the ax, he held it with one hand and the other hand. When the ax failed to cut horizontally, Frederick stretched out the scabbard and touched the elbow of his opponent's hand that was actually holding the ax. The tendon position was knocked.
The opponent's hand was numb, and he paused for a moment, then saw a shoe getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.
In less than a minute, the game ended with Frederick winning by kicking his opponent unconscious.
The players who win the game can watch the game from the auditorium at the top of the competition arena, where free tea, wine, happy water and various snacks are provided.
In addition, they also have a sign that allows you to eat at designated sponsored restaurants for free.
After bringing Olive here, Frederick asked her to bring some drinks, and soon she brought a bottle of happy water.
"It's not iced." Frederick curled his lips, "It doesn't taste good without ice."
At this time, a strong man sitting not far from him turned around and asked him: "What's this?" Happy water needs to be iced to taste?”
“Yes.” Frederick nodded and said, “You can try it. It’s most comfortable to drink at a temperature higher than freezing.”
< br>The strong man immediately turned around and ordered a female slave behind him to get a bottle of happy water and ask for it to be frozen.
“It’s really refreshing!” The strong man looked very satisfied after taking a sip, “Everything I drank before was wasted!”
Then he turned to Frederick and asked: "My name is Vael, what is your name?"
Frederick replied: "My name is Charles Smith, just call me Charles."< br>
“Have you never drank frozen happy water before?”
Wael shook his head and said: “You are a foreigner and don’t know that drinking cold water here can easily spoil your stomach. Press According to the scholars in Weisen State, there are invisible bugs in the cold water. If you drink it, you will get sick if there are too many bugs in your stomach. "
"Don't tell me, those scholars in Weisen State are really good. My family is here. Nowadays, every household drinks hot water, and those who sell diarrhea medicines have lost their products.”
After saying that, he laughed heartily.
Frederick smiled and said: "That is indeed the case. However, the drinks we sell in Wesson State are all bug-killed. You can drink them directly as long as they have not been opened or leaked. You can drink it if it’s cold.”
“I thought you would drink ice if it’s so hot here.” Vael said, “It’s easy to get a bad stomach, so don’t dare to mess around.”
“But this happy water doesn’t taste good when boiled directly, but it tastes good if you add some fruits and boil it together. You can try it.”
Frederick was embarrassed and curious at the same time, so he decided to give it a try.
Then he added: "In Wesson, happy water can also be used to make chicken wings. You can also try it."
Although the two of them were chatting, their eyes were tight. He pays close attention to the competition in the ring, multi-tasks, and keeps every move of every player in mind.
Especially when the players with higher voices came on stage after the first few warm-up rounds, both of them stopped chatting.
Although the battles between these players ended in less than a minute, they could still see some of the opponent's characteristics and personality.
"This bully," Vael couldn't help shaking his head after another round of competition, "still has the same temper, always loves to kill people."
Frederick looked at the man leaving the ring in silence. The player, whose nickname is "The Bull", just smashed his opponent's head with a hammer, and now the staff is busy cleaning the ring.
“You have to be careful about him.” Vael said, “He loves to provoke opponents, make them lose their cool, and also likes to kill.”
“Not only on the court, he also He likes to make trouble outside the court."
Frederick asked calmly: "If he annoys me outside the court, is it okay for me to kill him?"
Vael turned his head and glanced at him and said: "He is a mad dog raised by the city's justice. No one wants to mess with the justice for a dog."
Frederick just smiled, No more words were spoken.
His instinct told him that because of his status as Secretary of the Weisen Army, someone would take advantage of him.
But this is not a problem. At worst, the Kirov airship will be transferred over and bombed.
After the game, Frederick and Olive went home first and took Therma to a restaurant where they could eat for free.
Therma is more familiar with the high-end restaurants in the city than Olive, the tour guide. In the past, the chefs from the restaurants were directly asked to cook at home.
Frederick chose a seafood restaurant mainly because it was close to his residence.
They went to the restaurant and found out that players of different levels had different hospitality standards. Half-star players had cheap meals, while six-star players not only had exclusive seats on the rooftop, but also had singing and dancing performances.
“Good dance!” Frederick kept praising the local dance performed by the teenagers. He forgot to eat the shrimps and crabs that Therma and Olive helped him peel.
The dancers are several teenagers. They hold hands and raise their hands. The dance is mainly based on footsteps, a bit like tap dance. They follow the cheerful melody of the musicians on the side, step, kick, stomp and jump. The one on the far left who leads the way In his right hand, he holds a decorative sword inlaid with colored glass and performs a sword dance, which has a unique flavor.
After the dance, Frederick called the owners of the dance troupe and rewarded them with a few gold coins.
"If you want to make money, you can try to go to Wesson." Frederick said to the boss, "Such a cheerful dance will be popular there."
Who knows the boss? His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly shook his head and refused: "We will not go to the land of the pagans."
Frederick shrugged, it's up to you.
He waved his hand to ask the dancers to leave and concentrate on eating.
This is the seaside, and the seafood is very fresh. Fried prawns, boiled crabs, grilled sea fish, fried rice and seashells... Frederick was very satisfied with his meal in the comfortable sea breeze.
What she was more satisfied with was the olives. She had never been to a restaurant like this in her life. Frederick asked her to eat whatever she wanted, but she almost died from exhaustion.
When they were about to leave, there was a burst of noise from the stairs, and a group of people broke into the roof.
Frederick raised his eyebrows. The man in the lead was the bull whom he had seen in the competition field.
This man was in his early thirties, with extremely strong muscles and a scar on his face. He looked fierce.
There were several people behind him, and one of them helped him hold the hammer used in today's game.
Man Niu walked up to Frederick, pointed at Selma and asked: "How can I sell this slave? Please give me a price."
