Chapter 109: championship

　　 Sean hesitated, and finally put the house card away. After all, it was a confrontation between two champion knights. It represented the collision of the top military forces in the continent of Ashan, which was rarely seen except on the battlefield.
　　 Said that Sean was not curious about the combat effectiveness of a real humanoid monster like the Champion Knight. It was a fake. Even without the ticket from Angel Beina, it is hard to guarantee that after he heard about it, he would not think of a way by himself.
In these three days, the streets and alleys of Solo City were talking about this. The game was naturally held at the Solo Arena, the largest arena in Solo City. There were as many as 50,000 tickets. As a result, it only took half a day to sell. Nearly 60,000 copies were issued.
　　 The remaining 10,000 tickets were aisle station tickets, which were sold by Solow City Council officials at 80% of the normal ticket price.
　　 Hearing this news, Sean retreated straight out of the room, and he could predict how chaotic and crowded the gladiatorial day would be.
　　In the past life with relatively complete security measures, stampede incidents of various large-scale activities are not uncommon.
　　 The security measures of the Solo City Hall are decorations. They are only responsible for selling tickets to make money, and basically ignore the rest.
　　 When watching a gladiatorial match, it is not uncommon for people to fight for their seats. Sometimes the fights on the stage are more intense than those in the arena. It is not uncommon for other spectators to watch and cheer.
　　 In addition to the fierce fighting between the radicals and the conservatives, it has become a real fire. The day of the finals was a duel between the most representative figures of both sides.
　　Who knows whether their duel will affect the emotions of the two factions. One is not well controlled, that is, a large-scale fighting. Just thinking about it makes Sean feel insecure.
Fortunately, Angie Beina is a special ticket obtained through the relationship. The location is near the rostrum. The security measures there should be the best. Because of this kind of event, Duke Borg, the supreme ruler of the Manyu army, will inevitably participate. of.
　　 If it were a regular ticket, Sean would have thrown it directly into the trash can.
　　 Darnell, the former head of the Sword of Saint Ether, was very open-minded, and did not deliberately conceal his past identity. When Sean hit the side, he directly supported the bottom.
　　 He even confided indifferently about the reason for his resignation as the head of the Saint Ether Sword, because he was dissatisfied with some of the pope's behavior.
　　 believes that since he took over, the Holy See of the Holy Ethereal has embarked on a crooked road, paying more attention to rights and wealth than to enlighten believers.
　　 is also from that time, he even shaken his belief.
　　 Over the years, he has been using the method of ascetic monks to rediscover his lost faith, but the results have been minimal, and it is not as shocking as Shaun's mess with him.
　　 Darnell was also very surprised when he heard that Angel Beina was the student who had let go of the witch back then. While sighing that there was no coincidence, he also sighed that the years passed. In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.
　　 The little girl who had just awakened not only became a teacher of others, but also became one of the powerful figures in the witch secret society.
　　 He became a lost faith in nothing, trying to find his own new way.
　　 Originally, Sean still had the heart to invite Darnell to watch the finals together. With such a man standing at the top of the pyramid of power by his side, his sense of security was absolutely leveraged.
　　 was rejected mercilessly by Darnell. He called the much-anticipated match an unnutritious and brutal collision. It was not as powerful as the impact of new medical techniques. With this idle time, it would be better to receive a few more patients.
　　 The strong reason makes Xiao En indisputable. After all, in terms of force, he has nothing to pursue. It is meaningless to increase his strength by a few pounds, and the speed to zero and one second faster, and the skills have been tempered to the extreme of returning to the original.
　　 Two sentences can describe Darnell's swordsmanship, which is powerful enough and fast enough.
　　 When he took out the sword, Xiao En's eyes were a little bit unable to keep up, which confirmed that the sword shadow was not a legend, but a real existence.
On the day of the gladiatorial contest finals, Sean entered the arena early. Only when he arrived, he discovered that there is never a shortage of old fried dough sticks in the world. There are many people who arrived earlier than him. An hour before the start of the game, the Borg arena was full of people and crowded. Full of Dangdang.
　　 "Your Majesty the King!"
　　 "Your Majesty the King!"
　　 "Your Majesty the King!"
　　 When the obese figure of Duke Borg appeared in the stands, he drew a burst of cheers from the audience. I don't know if it was arranged deliberately, from the heart, or both.
　　 Anyway, what he showed before Duke Borg was a moving scene that he deeply supported.
　　 stood in front of the rostrum for nearly a minute, before Duke Borg threw himself into the wide chair and said to the chancellor next to him.
　　 "I heard that it was your idea to sell 10,000 more standing tickets this time?"
　　 "Yes, it was indeed the minister's idea. The corridors are very wide, and there is no problem with crowding 10,000 people." Mingweilang did not hide, "The opportunity is rare..."
"Okay, there is no need to complain. I also know that you are doing this for the sake of military leadership and finances, but have you considered the safety issue? Once a riot occurs, it is easy to cause the Xiaoying tragedy, and it cannot be solved by petty profits. ."
　　 Duke Borg is also a veteran army, and naturally he knows that tragedies can easily erupt after people get together.
　　 "It's the minister's misconsideration." Ming Weilang wiped his forehead with cold sweat. He only managed to collect money to solve the financial crisis, without considering this issue.
　　 "Well, I am not to blame, don't be so eager for quick success next time you do something."
Duke Borg really can’t afford to blame Mingweilang, because he knows how bad the military leadership’s finances are during this period, and it will continue for several years. The war is easy to subside, but it is not so easy for production to resume. Naturally, there is no tax on production. If it weren't for urgency, a cautious person like Mingweilang would not make such a move.
　　 "The minister must pay attention next time." Ming Weilang promised quickly.
　　 "Your Majesty, he is Doctor Tang."
　　 The guard next to Duke Borg whispered in his ear.
Duke Borg looked in the direction of the guards. On the auditorium next to the podium on the right, sat a tall young Andean man with a stern face like an adult, but slightly The immature face shows that the other party is not very old.
　　 is separated by the guardrail, there is a tower without a tower talking to Anjibena in the stands.
　　 The other party seemed to have sensed something. He looked over and met Duke Borg’s gaze. Unexpectedly, the other party was very calm. He stood up and bowed halfway to show respect, and then sat back leisurely.
　　 Duke Borg’s eyes were blocked by the fat, narrowed into a gap, and there was a faint flash of cold light.
　　 The guards around him watched and said: "Your Majesty, do you need to separate them."
　　 "No, the game is important." Duke Borg waved his hand, "I will wait until the game is over."
"Yes."
　　……
　　 "Your father seems very angry, don't you think you seduce a wild man?"
　　 Xiao En said in a voice smaller than a mosquito hum.
　　 "You are scolding yourself." Angie Bina also lowered her voice, "Don't worry about him, if nothing happens, he has no chance to trouble us."
　　 Xiao En's heart burst, and his expression solemnly said: "What are you going to do?"
　　 "I'm not going to do anything." Anji Beina showed a pure and flawless smile like a white flower. "You just need to sit still and watch the excitement."
　　 Sean's brows were frowning. He always felt that there was something in Angie Beina's words, but he didn't know what the meaning was, and he felt uneasy for a while.
Solo Arena is considered an architectural miracle in this era. The people who designed and built him are absolutely masters. The structure has adopted a very advanced echo structure, which can amplify the sound in the field, and dare not say that it can be present. All of the audience can hear clearly, and nearly two-thirds of them can hear clearly without any problems.
　　 A well-dressed waiter was in the role of the host and shouted hoarsely after receiving a signal from the podium.
"Man Yujun leads the 13th gladiatorial finals. Let us invite two contestants, the winners of the 10th and 12th gladiatorial contests, our two-time gladiator kings, free gladiators. , Sir Starbucks, gentleman among the gladiators!"
　　 "Starbuck!"
　　 "Starbuck!"
　　 "Starbuck!"
Amidst a burst of enthusiastic cheers, a silver plate-clad Starbuck entered the arena with trot. In addition to a half-handed sword that was half human, five spears, daggers and axe were also inserted into the back. Fighting weapons are readily available, and if there is another horse, the whole is a fully armed knight.
　　 is now a championship game, not the kind of finals against beasts or death row prisoners. Gladiators are not restricted to wear armor and carry their own weapons.
Starbucks showed his gentleman's style to the fullest. After playing, he turned around and greeted the surrounding audience, as if he was not standing in the arena of life and death, but a stage full of spotlights, and he was about to be gorgeous. Performance.
　　 drew another fanatical shout, among which most were women. He was called the friend of women, not groundless.
　　 "Next, let us have a request to win the eighth, ninth and eleventh gladiator championships, our once king of gladiators, used his own strength to win freedom, Scarlet Storm Dickron!"
　　 "Dickron!"
　　 "Dickron!"
　　 "Dickron!"
Compared with Starbuck’s voice, Dirkron is a bit more, just like his name. When he enters the field, it is like a whirlwind. A flower in front of everyone appears in the center of the game, causing another surprise. call.
　　 is different from Starbuck's style and dress with a clear battlefield atmosphere. As a gladiator, Dickron has a strong performance color in both dress and style.
　　 That kind of instant sprint just now, let alone in the eyes of Starbucks, even in the eyes of some ordinary veterans who have been on the battlefield, it is a fancy behavior that wastes physical strength, and the most regular behavior like Starbucks is the most correct choice.
　　 But it is undeniable that this kind of action performed by the champion knight is indeed beyond imagination and shocking. This can be seen from the audience's reaction.
His scale armor is also specially customized. It is blood-colored. Many parts are hollowed out and densely covered with barbs. This makes it look hideous. At the same time, it also reveals a unique aesthetic and close-fitting design that allows him to show his muscles and contours. Make him more flexible.
Carrying a large bow that is no less inferior to the Andis longbow. Like the armor, the whole body is blood-colored, and the arrows are also specially made, thick and long, as many as three pots. This is the origin of his name. One, when he opened his bow, it was like a storm of arrows. Many people fell before his quiver shot empty.
　　 When Dirkron became a champion knight, let alone a pot of arrows, even the great knight couldn't pass the three arrows in front of him. Only Starbuck, who is also a champion knight, could force his real kung fu.
　　 "Whether the gentleman gladiator Starbucks regained his title of gladiator king, or the Scarlet Storm Dickron regaining his own glory, let us wait and see. Now the game officially begins."
　　 After the host made a loud announcement, he jumped back to the auditorium with extremely agility behind him, and his skill was at least that of a knight.
　　 Surprisingly, after the host announced the announcement, the two sides did not immediately enter the life-and-death fight, Starbucks even politely greeted Dickron and reached for friendship.
　　 "Old friends, let's meet again in this sacred place. How are you thinking about my proposal?"
　　, the two have known each other for nearly ten years. The two have swept the Gladiator Championship five times in a row, and it is now the sixth.
In the eighth and ninth sessions, the Scarlet Storm Dickron family dominated. Although there were also champion knights in those two sessions, they were either unable to wait for home, or were old and weak, and began to decline. At his peak, Dickron was much inferior in front of him. At that time, it was not an exaggeration to be called the dominant one.
Until the birth of the 10th Starbucks, Dick Long’s opponents ~EbookFREE.me~ began the era of double kings. It was also during that time that the ship was accidentally overturned and failed to win three consecutive championships. Long regretted it and chased it bravely, winning a round in the 11th session.
　　 Starbucks is not the kind of person who is willing to fail, and the twelfth session overpowered Dirkron with a slight advantage.
　　 However, the two of them had a good relationship.
　　 Compared to Starbucks, Dickron, who was born as a gladiator slave, is obviously not good at words, especially when he is so much-anticipated, he is better at talking with his own weapons, and his expression pops out.
"Not interested in."
"Don't be so decisive, are you not bored with the current life? What is the point of the two of us continuing to fight? Is it for the so-called king of gladiatorial titles? You have already won two, and you think it brings What is your meaning?"
　　 "Empty, there is only endless emptiness, because this is just the bones of those who are above, even if you get this title, you are still a dog in the hands of others."
　　 "I am not a dog, I am not a slave, I am a free man, I am a free man now." Dickron let out a low growl like being stimulated by a beast, repeating it several times.
"Free man?"
　　 Starbucks made a bigger sneer.
"Do you know the true concept of a free man? Not only freedom in the body, but also freedom in the soul. Look at yourself. Although the shackles on your body are removed, your soul is already extremely strong. You have yourself. Do you believe in? Do you have your own love? Do you have your own dream?"
　　 "No, you don't have everything. You don't even have what you want to do. There is only your master's command in your eyes. You are Bill's dog from start to finish."
