Black sail

Chapter 627 VII. Art
It only takes four Wallfacers to fight the Trisolarians, but Black Sails has twelve of them. No one can guess what they are going to do next, not even the Enneapolitans.

Although Galen didn't know what would happen the day after tomorrow, there was definitely something big going on with Sarrett.

As for tomorrow's bloody fourth round, only sixteen people will be left.

To be honest, Garen might have thought that Sarrett couldn't win because these guys were too powerful.

Because the bloody fourth round is very interesting, as you have to play several times a day and face a round-robin battle, which tests your overall quality in terms of physical strength distribution, combat strategy, and intuitive instincts. If you can make it out of the fourth round, you will be the undisputed top 16, without any water.

"Contestant No. 777 has chosen to continue to participate in the fourth round tomorrow! This is the fourth to last match of the third round. So far, eighty-nine contestants have decided to participate in the fourth round, which is more than ten more than in previous years. It is hard to imagine the grand occasion tomorrow."

The hostess's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Since tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the highlights, we cannot wait until the whole round is over to decide whether to stay or leave. We must make the decision after we come off the field to warm up for the highlights, so that the gamblers can increase their bets and the government's fiscal revenue will also increase.

And the charges also have to be classified into different levels. For a case as big as Salette's, you can't just walk away by winning the first round. It has extremely bad impacts on society and even affects the regional ecology. You must be promoted to the top 16, otherwise someone will help you save face. This is the unspoken rule.

If it were really like when the emperor held the first session, he decided on a whim that anyone could come and grant amnesty to the world, that would be a large-scale whitewashing holy place. So the first session was full of monsters and demons and extremely chaotic. It's not to say that there was no gold content, on the contrary, the gold content was extremely high. There were pure gangsters and martial arts fanatics who came to compete for the title of the best in the world. There were all kinds of private fights, both overt and covert, and everyone was fighting in an endless round-robin battle. It was outrageous and tested the overall quality to the extreme.

Therefore, the secret rules are not put on the surface, but in fact, this is the system that is used, and the martial arts competitions on the mainland are becoming more and more formal every year.

But those like Li Site are an exception. The social influence of these people is so bad that it is suffocating. Let alone competing with you, they will just lock you up if they meet you. It's not like they are competing with Mao.

Galen took a deep breath.

The man with white hair and golden eyes, a contestant named Kunlan, withdrew from the competition after the third round. Such a result was enough for him to be accepted as an officer by the Alan royal court.

Even such a person would not dare to participate in the fourth round, because he might really die.

The ever-victorious generals that I bought, Caden, Sarrett, and Sackhead, all chose to participate in the fourth round. This is not just a small chance of being chosen among the previous thousand people, but a very high probability of encountering it.

And in this round, there are so many heroes in the world.

A hall adventurer who never used a second move in three rounds, the Divine Sword Xiaolong, is an extremely pretentious person. He always keeps his opponents alive and is polite. He is the compiler of the best-selling book "Basic Sword Skills Manual". Almost every beginner who wants to be an adventurer has a copy of this book. The Warcraft that was chopped off in the Western Continent has suffered a lot. He optimized the old fighting methods, iterated versions, and caused a dimensionality reduction attack on Warcraft.

The double-flowered red stick of the Narrow Sea Treaty Organization, known as Clark the Star Splitter, came to the competition with a mission and political purpose. All three rounds were like exhibition matches. He had superb fighting skills, like Beowulf in Ace Combat, who could hit people in the sky and make them unable to fall down. After a beating performance, he would spare the opponent's life. It could be that the Giant Whale Guest was trying to show goodwill to Alan, or it could be that the Giant Whale Guest didn't want to be too deeply involved with Alan, so he asked him to do some eye drops.

There is an Isu man in the southern continent called Tiansha, named Greenberg. He is a killer on the road. He was wanted for death in the southern continent and came to Alan to beg for food. People usually think that killers are very secretive and high-end, but in fact, killers are actually gangs of people who do a lot of random things. In short, this person is a bit mentally abnormal and likes to cut meat with a slow knife. Every opponent is tortured to death.

Newspaper predictions are still quite reliable, and the predicted 20 or 30 championship seeds are relatively reliable.

There are still about ninety tough guys like this, from all regions and all races, including werewolves, Ysians, orcs, dark elves, Argonians, etc., and they will be killed until only sixteen are left tomorrow. Number eight is the bloodiest and most brutal, and number nine will be sublimated to the extreme, becoming artistic, with a kind of beauty that aspires to be the best in the world.

Sarrett also came with a mission and a political purpose.

This is all a trap, Green can't play it, and Garen won't allow Green to use the gambling money to hire someone to kill someone. This girl has tens of thousands of gold dragons on her, let alone hiring someone to kill someone, even a top-level adventurer would have to form a group and go into the sea directly.

As the third round ends.

A total of ninety-one contestants have confirmed their participation in the fourth round.

Garen, the deputy captain, and Green walked to the luxurious hotel they had booked to rest. Because it was during the continental martial arts competition, the traffic around the Imperial Arena was semi-paralyzed even though it was managed by the Royal City Army, and it was impossible to get a taxi.

The next day and the day after tomorrow will be even more terrifying. The royal family of Alan, the people of the Astania family, various senior military officers, important officials of the royal court, and important foreign guests from various countries will close the road and a convoy will pass. The hotel Green booked is the best in the imperial capital. The owner needs to walk two streets to a less congested place, and there is a special car from the hotel to pick him up.

Although he said he was taking a break, in fact, Green would probably have to keep predicting all night long again. He has become completely addicted to it. He is learning quickly.

Along the way, Ge Lian was extremely excited and kept talking about tomorrow's game and whether she should buy the Ever-Victorious General again. She even had nicknames for the three people: Iron Head, Black Head, and Sister Head, corresponding to each of them.

It is hard to describe the level of her naming, it has the style of a little girl.

Garen said nothing along the way. This underage kid wanted to kill Lister. It was so weird that he just barged in and met Dollinger's orphan.

He himself turned him into a gambler.

Once a person has the experience of making quick money, it will completely destroy his economic concept and completely abandon the universal truth that labor is exchanged for rewards.

For example, if you make a small profit of 20 yuan in futures trading, even if you lose hundreds of yuan later, you will continue to play, because the money you earn in one day is not as much as working for a year or even longer. You will never work again. Even if you are unemployed, you will only focus on figuring out how to make a big profit.

For these people, thinking about playing a wild game, even if it's just lying down and thinking about it, is much more efficient than normal work.

The same goes for Glenn. She was well brought up, and even though she was a super rich girl, she was taught not to be extravagant. Even if she didn't gamble, Dorian's childhood friend and Alan's treasury bond fund were enough for her to squander for a lifetime.

But the few days I spent with Garen completely destroyed my previous education. I learned that working is not as good as stealing, stealing is not as good as robbing, and robbing is not as good as gambling.

Many people have made a comeback, not because man can conquer nature, but because they won the bet.

Of course, the fact that small characters like to gamble is different from the fact that big characters like to gamble. If the former wins, at most they can enjoy a comfortable life with luxury cars and beautiful women. If the latter wins, they have the right to kill when they are sober, and they can even kill when they are drunk, because it is not against the law, and my law is the law.

Food, sex, and love are the basic desires of human beings, and they are biological desires. Even the social status improved by the accumulation of wealth is also a basic biological desire, similar to the wild instinct of group identity in ant colonies, which is the most intuitive and the easiest to make people sink.

Power is the high-level spiritual need that civilization brings to people.

Politics is the art of enslaving people, business is the art of exploiting people, and military is the art of slaughtering people.

The supreme power built by the political, economic and military complex is the art of human beings, the most intelligent creatures in the world. The main driving force behind all great changes is the expansion and redistribution of power forms.

And Ge Lian is obviously not a small character. In the hands of ordinary people in Yalan, let alone two thousand gold royals, the family could borrow money from everywhere and sell their property to get thirty gold royals, which was considered a well-off family.

She was obviously at the level where the big guys were betting.

Garen glanced sideways at Green, and according to the ideas in her little head, the most naive dog warlord in history was born. At this point, it has become an art.

"I noticed that you can hold it in quite a bit, so why don't you ask me why I want to kill Li Site?"

Green patted Galen's shoulders wildly, treating him as a friend.

"After you said that, I realized that you look a lot like Dollinger, the one from the East Sea."

Galen said casually that this girl was very well educated, probably because she was brought up by Dollinger's friends or someone like that since she was a child. Those people couldn't overcome her rebellious character, let alone himself.

I had no choice but to persuade her in other ways not to seek death.
