The 184th chapter gladiatorial meeting (2)
It sounds quite interesting. Danica was originally a trip. Since she was lucky enough to encounter such a grand competition from the beast race, it would be nice to see it in the past.
"The game will start tomorrow. Do you want to go and see?" Lucia asked when she saw Danica was a little moved.
"Okay!" Danica agreed readily, "But tomorrow will start. Can we still buy tickets for entry now?" According to Lucya, the Gladiator is very popular among the Orcs. There are many people participating in the competition. If it starts tomorrow, can we still buy tickets for entry today?
Lucyya said generously: "It's okay, I'll handle this."
"Okay." Danica asked the details, "When will tomorrow's gladiatorial conference begin?"
Lucyya estimated the time and said, "You can wait for me here in the evening, I'll take you there."
Danica nodded, drank the last bit of "green apple", and said, "Okay, I'll go back and rest first, see you tomorrow." It's already past nine o'clock now, and although it's not too late, she still has routine magical homework.
"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow evening." Lucya said with a smile.
After Danica left, Old Kato came over and asked, "Miss Little Claw, why did you invite that human girl to watch the game together?" Miss Little Claw pointed to Lucia, and her full name was Lucia Little Claw.
Lucia picked up the wine glass and shook it, saying, "Old Kato, it is my duty to promote the reputation of the beast tribe and let those human tribes know that our strength is my duty. Since there is such an opportunity, of course I have to seize it."
Old Kato said in confusion: "But she is just an ordinary human girl." He is not a big shot with great power, so why should he promote her?
Lucya leaned her back on the bar and said, "First of all, she is not an ordinary human girl. She is a magician. The magician has a high status among the human race. In addition, promoting the reputation of the beast tribe itself is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it requires a little accumulation." Of course, the most important reason is that Lucya originally had two tickets, and she planned to come with a friend to watch the game, but the friend couldn't come if he had something to do.
Unlike Danica, Lucyya is a guy who likes to be lively. It would be too painful for her to watch such exciting games alone. It would be better to find a companion to go with her. This matter is quite troublesome. Lizard is an ancient family with a long history, a inheritor of shamanic teachings, and has a great reputation in the hearts of ordinary zodiacs. Lucyya's identity is really inconvenient to go with the unfamiliar zodiacs. If they know that the noble Lizard Miss is actually a crazy girl, it would be awful. At this time, Lucyya met an outsider, and a girl about the same age as her, and she was the most suitable candidate.
At around 4 o'clock the next afternoon, Danica came to the bar below and waited. After a while, Lucia came over and said with a smile: "Danica, you came very early!"
Danica smiled and said, "No, I just came here too. Are we here now?" Danica originally thought Lucia lived here too, but now it seems that she just came here to drink yesterday and lived in other places.
Lucya took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, saying, "Don't worry, it's still early, we can find a place to eat before going. The official starts at 7 o'clock in the evening." It's early autumn, the day is shorter, and the sun is about to set at 7 o'clock.
"Okay, listen to you." Danica was not familiar with this place at all. It would be best if Lucia had a schedule.
Lucia took Danica around the city for a long time before finding a barbecue restaurant in an alley. According to Lucia, this barbecue restaurant has been around for hundreds of years, with pure taste and delicious taste.
"But there are not many guests!" Danica looked around. The small restaurant was very small, with only four tables. It was time for dinner now, and there were only two of them, which seemed empty.
This is a bit embarrassing. Lucia explained: "That's right. The barbecue made in this store tastes very good, but it's not very suitable for the price." To put it simply, it's too expensive. In addition, the beasts living on the prairie mainly eat all kinds of barbecue. Everyone can make it, and you sell it so expensive, so the business will naturally not be too good. But the taste of this barbecue restaurant is very suitable for Lucia's appetite. She will come to taste it every time she comes.
"Oh, that's it." Danica didn't care much. It would be more expensive. She had lived in the three major magic academies for three or four years, but she didn't believe that there were places in this world that were more expensive than Bunos.
To illustrate that his choice is absolutely correct, Lucia said: "It is a bit unprofitable for ordinary beast herders to come here to eat barbecue, but the barbecue flavor here is indeed the most authentic. If there are friends from other places coming to Hulun City, it is the best choice to invite them to come here."
It seemed to be verifying Lucya's words. The two of them were chatting, and a few more guests came in. The two cattle tribes and two human tribes seemed to be entertaining foreign guests.
Lucya smiled and said, "How is it, I'm right?"
Danica nodded and didn't say anything. Her current focus was on the two human races who had just entered.
One of the two human races is relatively old, about forty years old, and they are dressed quite simply, but their words and deeds do not look like ordinary travelers. Instead, they have a bit of a big businessman's demeanor. The young man following him became a little impetuous. Seeing two beauties on the table next to him, he couldn't help but glance at this side a few times.
What really attracted Danica's attention was the badge hanging on the chest of the older one, about the size of a gold coin, with thorn patterns around it and a six-petal snowflake pattern in the middle.
"What's wrong, do you know them?" Lucia asked curiously when she saw Danica looking over there.
Danica shook her head and said, "No." She didn't say much.
Seeing that Danica didn't want to say much, Lucya couldn't continue asking questions. After all, they had just met and were not that familiar. It happened that the barbecue that Lucya ordered had already come up at this time, so she put this matter behind her mind and introduced these delicious foods to Danica.
Lucia's small restaurant was really good. Danica tasted it and the meat was very tender. The sauce used in this barbecue restaurant was also very special. The whole taste was a bit spicy, and it was spicy like chili. This is rare. Chili condiments are only produced by the Northeast Druids. It is said that they were cultivated by chance. Because they produced very little, the price was also relatively expensive. If chili is used in the barbecue here, it would be normal to be more expensive.
Lucyya also took a bite, looking satisfied. Sure enough, food is also one of the true meanings of life. She looked at Danica and asked, "How is it? It's delicious, right?"
Danica smiled and said, "It tastes pretty good." Although it was a compliment, it was not as happy as Lucia expected. It was not that it was not delicious, but that Danica's bloodline transformed her taste into something different. For her, it would be much better if she could add some poisonous weeds, but only she could eat this poisonous barbecue.
"Are you a little unaccustomed to this spicy taste?" Lucia found a reason for Danica. There are few spicy condiments and are very expensive, which makes many people unable to eat spicy food at all. Suddenly eating a bite of spicy food will make you uncomfortable with this very exciting taste.
Danica didn't know what to say. Could it be that if Lucia wanted to make this plate of barbecue delicious, she just needed to make some poison, and that would be regarded as a monster by others. There was no way, Danica could only follow Afuro's words: "I'm really a little unaccustomed."
Lucyya was quite refreshed, she said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't hate it, try it a few more times and you will find that it's an exciting smell." As she said that, she licked the minced pepper on her lips.
It seems that this little guy likes spicy food. Danica thought to herself, while eating barbecue, chatting with Lucyya about the customs and customs of Hulun City, and by the way, some of the gladiatorial meetings they were going to see.
The Gladiator is just beginning and is still in the preliminaries. Each larger orc city will hold a preliminaries. The top three of each preliminaries will hold the finals at the location of the orc gold tent, the royal city. The preliminaries are held in sequence. Fans of the gladiator like Lucyya can come to different cities to watch. If arranged well, they can finish all the preliminaries. This time, two games have been held, and Hulun City is the third game.
"By the way, you said everyone can participate in the gladiatorial convention?" Danica asked.
Lucyya nodded and said, "Yes, there was a dwarf participating in one game before, and finally reached the final. Although he did not win the championship, he also became the runner-up and qualified to participate in the Royal City competition." After pausing, Lucyya continued, "The dwarf is indeed a natural warrior. Like the orcs, I have watched several games of that dwarf. It is really exciting, especially in the last game. Although he lost, he still saved his life and did not even suffer too much injuries. It is really amazing!" The Gladiator Conference is not only intense and exciting, but also bloody. There are two criteria for determining the victory and loss of the Gladiator Conference: the simplest one is to kill your opponent and you will win; there is another situation, throw away your weapons, raise your hands, beg for mercy loudly... In short, it is to admit defeat clearly, so that you can also determine the victory and loss. However, afterwards
There will be many variables in one situation. This kind of life-and-death battle may be in a moment. Many times, even if you want to surrender, it may not be too late. There is another situation where you react and surrender in time, but the opponent may not be able to react. If you chop it down with an axe, he may not be able to stop and directly chop the opponent to death. According to the regulations of the Gladiator Conference, in this case, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and the winner will not be criticized. Therefore, some bloodthirsty warriors do not care whether the opponent surrenders or not during the gladiator. Even if they surrender, they will continue to attack. If they kill, they will say that they can't control their mistakes for the moment, and no one can do anything to him. This cruel mechanism leads to a high death rate in the gladiator. It is a normal situation for the loser to stop the field. It is a strange thing for the dwarf to save his life in the event of failure.
Danica asked: "What is the reward if you win the game?" There are still people participating in the game with such a high mortality rate. The rewards in the game must be very exciting. Danica really can't think of any other way except this.
Lucyya said: "In the preliminary round, the rewards are usually gold coins, like the champion in Hulun City can get 5,000 gold coins!" Lucyya said and stretched out her hand and gestured.
Five thousand gold coins? Not a lot! Danica muttered to herself that in Bnos, five thousand gold coins can only support herself for a year. This is not considered any consumption and entertainment, it just fills her stomach.
"The rewards will be different when the finals are in the finals." Lucya continued, "The rewards for entering the finals are provided by the Golden King Account. Weapons, armor and even gold coins are possible, and it depends on the players' choice."
Danica said, "It sounds pretty good, but it's a pity to send your life away just for this. Martial arts also require hard work. Isn't it a pity to be beaten to death in the arena after so much effort?
Lucyya said, "What you said makes sense, but wealth is in danger!"
Danica doesn't agree much: "How much can the Golden King's Prize give as a reward? This is also considered wealth and honor, and even wealth is the champion. There is only one champion among so many contestants!"
Lucy shook her head and said, "I mean wealth and honor, I don't mean the rewards of the conference. I have said before that the Gladiator Conference is the focus of the entire Beast Clan. Not only are ordinary civilians like to watch, but many powerful people in the Beast Clan are also enthusiasts of Gladiator. If you perform well in the Gladiator, you may be attracted by a certain powerful person. This is the real wealth and honor." Shang Yong of the Beast Clan, every Gladiator can screen out a large number of brave and resourceful talents. They will be selected by many nobles and the Beast Clan's golden power account, and after some experience, you can entrust with important tasks. Now many people in the Beast Clan army, from generals to team captains, often have backgrounds for participating in the Gladiator Conference.
This should be a way of selecting talents for the orcs, but there is a question, Danica asked: "If it is another race, such as the powerful dwarf you just mentioned, will he be recruited?"
"That's it! You need to see the situation." Lucya said vaguely.
Chapter completed!
