Chapter 656 Harvest Square
I really didn't expect that when the auction was about to end successfully, Arathor would make such a change again. Varian was so angry that his beard was trembling. But after all, Arathor was also the Lord of Roland, so he couldn't really curse him. . (Reading novels) He wanted to leave this matter alone, but he had just sent a few recipes from the Dark Ages to the Genius State a few days ago, and he still hoped that the Ferre magician would be able to prepare them. Besides, the person was invited to the auction by himself. If something goes wrong, Alaso cannot escape responsibility, and the same goes for himself.
Regardless of whether he could be persuaded or not, he still had to give it a try. Varian didn't care about the auction anymore and hurried to the VIP room with Lin Li on the second floor together with Aratho. Those people in the audience who were about to leave but didn't, saw the two people going up to the second floor from the nearby stairs, and immediately remembered the powerful momentum that had just erupted upstairs.
Although the people downstairs didn't see anything at the time, they already had a rough guess as to what happened after hearing the bidding from the two voices. It's nothing more than a nouveau riche showing off his wealth, but it ended up showing off on the head of a legendary powerhouse, and now I don't know if it's going to be a tragedy, or it's going to be a tragedy.
Everyone who had long been full of envy, jealousy and hatred, how could they miss the good show that was about to be staged at this time? One or two people were looking upstairs with their necks raised. Among the crowd, only Senna looked at the excited faces around him and cursed in his heart with disdain: Damn, a bunch of ignorant guys, what's so great about the legendary powerhouse in front of Magician Ferre? , last time Magician Ferre killed a legendary lich and a giant skeleton dragon.
Varian went upstairs to persuade, but the result was obvious. After a few words, he knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless. These two were determined to have a fight today.
Varian and Arathor looked at each other helplessly. They still had to follow Lin Li and Vitas' request. Arathor went to arrange the venue with worry, while Varian looked at the crowd of spectators downstairs. Announcing the news of the gambling fight.
Contrary to Varian and Arathor's worries, the people downstairs heard that there was a lot of excitement and that they were also upstarts from the legendary strongman Jade. The hall immediately burst into warm applause. Varian and Arathor were praying that nothing would happen to Lin Li, but those downstairs were hoping that the master of the Tower of Twilight would be killed by a legendary powerhouse, so that when they went to recruit those pharmacists, their success rate would be higher. There will definitely be a huge improvement.
Aratho is the city lord of Roland City. It can be said that the entire Roland City belongs to him. It is too easy to arrange a venue for gambling and fighting. Considering that Vitus is a legendary mage and the magician Ferre seems to be not weak, Arathor arranged the gambling fight in the Harvest Square.
Harvest Square is located in the center of Roland City. If you look at it from the sky, the entire city is starting from this point and spreading out like a spider web. Although Harvest Square is called a square, it is different from ordinary open squares, and it is not a completely enclosed building like an arena.
The area of Harvest Square is about the size of ten football fields. Eighty-four stone pillars, thick enough for two people to hug each other, surround the square at the same distance. The height of the stone pillars is more than ten meters, and each stone pillar is carved with complex high-level magic patterns to prevent excessively fierce battles from damaging the buildings around the square.
The square is oval-shaped. Only the tops of both sides of the square have four-story stands, while the other two sides are completely open, allowing people to see the opposite side at a glance. Therefore, when not in use, both sides of the square are unobstructed, and after activating the defensive magic patterns of the stone pillars, the powerful defensive force field will completely cover the square.
This square, built more than a thousand years ago, has always been a place where people worship the God of Fertility. Every harvest season, a series of sacrifice and celebration activities are held here.
Among all celebrations, the most important and favorite performance is the gladiatorial competition, which is intended to show people's spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and having the courage to fight.
The gladiatorial competition was originally just a dance performance in sacrificial activities. The ugly beasts and devils symbolized various disasters. Under the leadership of heroes, humans rose up in resistance and finally defeated the beasts and devils that symbolized disasters. However, people gradually were no longer satisfied with this kind of dance performance, and began to use real beasts in celebrations. The beasts were replaced by magical beasts, and then human-human gladiatorial competitions were introduced into the celebrations.
The celebration to worship the goddess of fertility is the most solemn festival in Roland City every year, and gladiatorial combat has gradually become the highlight of this festival. At the beginning, the gladiatorial fight only used some death row prisoners, and those who survived in the end would only be exempted from the death penalty. But soon, people were surprised to discover the fact that the winner of the death row would not only get a pardon, but also huge fame and fortune that ordinary people could not imagine. As a result, gladiators became a profession, and the death row prisoners lost an opportunity to change their fate. The arena became a famous place, and the gladiators who won the final victory not only received huge bonuses, but also received invitations from many forces.
Although Arathor knew that there was Vitas, the legendary elf mage, in this gambling battle, and that the Ferre magician was not weak, he was still very confident about the square's defensive magic pattern. Don't think that Harvest Square is just a place for folk celebrations, and don't think that gladiatorial combat is just a cruel entertainment for ordinary people. At least in this thousand-year history, legendary strong men or people whose strength is close to legendary have often resolved conflicts in this square.
The stone pillars around Harvest Square have been activated with defensive magic patterns. The stone pillars, which were not ugly at first, are covered with a faint blue halo. The stone pillars are connected by an almost imperceptible light film, blocking the stands at both ends of the square. The entire square is completely enveloped by the force field of the defensive magic pattern.
There were quite a few people participating in the auction, and they all followed to Harvest Square. Although pharmacists have a very high social status in this world, and people do not dare to provoke pharmacists easily, but that does not mean that no one is jealous of the status that pharmacists have. When I am obliged to salute a man, it does not prevent me from wishing in my heart to see another slap him in the face. People have this kind of mentality. Even if I don’t dare to do something and I can’t do it, it would be very happy to see others do it.
These people were jealous of Lin Li for more than a day or two. Ever since they learned that the Tower of Dusk had obtained the news of a senior pharmacist, no matter who mentioned the Tower of Dusk in the entire Qingfeng Plain, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Especially today, seeing the sky-high prices for those potions at auction, this group of people could be said to be filled with jealousy and wanted to strangle that bastard named Fei Lei to death.
Putting aside the price of the potion that sold for 10 million gold coins at auction, the origin potion prepared by Master Wilkinson, priced at 3 million gold coins, is definitely worth every penny. Coupled with the previous bulk auctions of potions, from this auction alone, the huge wealth the Dusk Tower earned from the works of these senior pharmacists was enough to make many people present go crazy with jealousy.
Why do these senior pharmacists only serve him in the Tower of Twilight? Our various forces have given generous gifts and made many conditions. As a result, until now, no one has been able to successfully recruit pharmacists under his command. Even those mid-level pharmacists simply refused the kind invitations. Regarding this matter, all the forces involved felt resentment in their hearts.
Especially in the end, Lin Li spent fifteen million gold coins just to buy a branch that was inconspicuous in the eyes of others. This kind of behavior of not taking money as money, in the eyes of those people, is simply arrogant to the extreme. They have long been looking forward to someone to teach this arrogant guy a lesson for everyone.
Harvest Square is used for celebrations. Although the Elf Theater was full with nearly two thousand people, they only occupied a small space in the stands when they arrived. However, the other seats were not empty either. Someone had already seen the defensive magic patterns of Harvest Square being activated, so they knew there was something good to watch here, and it didn't take long for the stands on both sides to be filled.
According to Arathor's instructions, a large amount of magic crystals were continuously added into the energy core of the magic pattern, increasing the magical energy of the Harvest Square's defensive magic pattern to the maximum that could be tolerated. Although Arathor was worried, there was no other way. He hoped that the Ferre magician would be able to protect himself. Since he had to engage in this gambling battle, he probably didn't want to commit suicide.
Resigned to fate, this is how Arathor and Varian feel now. Because they all know in their hearts that even if this is a fair and open gambling battle with so many people as witnesses, if something happens to the magician Ferre, whether it is the Supreme Council or something else behind him, Supporters, when angry, will not care whether the betting fight is fair.
In fact, in the hearts of Arathor and Varian, or in the hearts of almost everyone present, they had already determined that the outcome of this gambling battle would definitely end with the arrogant upstart being defeated or even killed.
At only twenty years old, even if he is extremely talented in magic, how can he still compare with the legendary Gresco! Who is Gresco? He is recognized as the God of Mage. His talent and attainments in magic are unmatched by anyone. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that in today's world of Anriel, anyone else could reach the level of Gresco. It would be impossible to even come close.
The defensive force field covering the square became increasingly solid and transparent under the infusion of powerful energy, as if a transparent crystal cover had been added to the square. The two parties in this gambling fight, Lin Li and Vitas, were already standing in the center of the square, about a hundred meters apart.
The knowledgeable people in the stands also found that the energy field of the square's defense magic pattern was actually activated to the limit by Aratho regardless of the loss, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
To support such a defensive force field, the energy required at every moment is very huge. The tenth level magic crystal will be sucked clean in the blink of an eye, not even a scum is left. The fifteenth level and above magic crystal Only then can I hold on for a while longer.
Many people feel that Arathor is making too much of a fuss. With such a defensive force field, I am afraid it can withstand the bombardment of the legendary strongman, but the question is, is this necessary? Although everyone knows that the mage who is ready to relieve everyone's hatred is definitely an extremely powerful legendary mage, but how powerful can he be allowed to show against a weak opponent.
You know, in front of the legendary mage, even a great mage who has reached the peak of stupidity has no power to fight back.
If it was just to watch a gladiatorial match, then these people in the stands would not be interested in staying here at all, because in their eyes, there would be no suspense in this betting fight at all. If you want to have a wonderful gladiatorial match, the most basic condition is that the strength of the gladiators on both sides is about the same. Otherwise, it will be an instant kill with one move, and there will be no excitement at all.
The magic geniuses recognized throughout the Qingfeng Plain, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net ~ One is Hutton of the Marfa family, and the other is Stefan of the Dark Blade, both of whom are in their twenties. At this age, he has reached the level of a great wizard. These two people are already the so-called extremes of magic genius that people can accept. However, no one is sure at what age they will reach the legendary state. More of this depends on their understanding and luck.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, even if the Ferre magician from the Tower of Twilight is really a magic genius, he is at most a fifteenth-level or sixteenth-level magician. After the gambling battle officially begins, the legendary mage may only need one spell to kill this arrogant upstart in an instant. In this case, if the Lord of Arathor City consumed so many magic crystals to support such a defensive force field, wouldn't it be a useless effort.
As the defensive force field continued to be charged with energy, in order to bring more fun to this unsuspicious gambling battle, a group of people in the stands even made a bet on this. Bet on how long it will take for the fight to end. Ranwen Novel Network. However, even so, everyone still felt bored, because almost everyone thought it would end with a flash kill.
What is Alasofei doing with this troublesome thing? It is really a waste of everyone's time. There is no need to activate this defensive magic pattern at all. It is almost certain that the man named Fei Lei will not even have a chance to take action. Many people are complaining about the boredom of waiting, and they are also puzzled by Aratho's caution.
