The mage arrives

On the second day after the auction, Gordon arrived at Platinum Plaza on time.Baron Lavaletti was very efficient. In just one night, he built a simple wooden stand under the statue of the Dragon God in the square, and invited several mages to set up simple protective measures to avoid fighting in a short while. When an accident happened, the onlookers were injured.

The nobles of ancient Rome liked to entertain the people and buy people's hearts by holding gladiatorial fights.And in the martial Freyton the nobles liked to do the same.Baron Lavaletti, who is especially keen on duels, has no reason not to invite the citizens of Clearwater City to have fun with him.

The people of Clearwater City had a good winter.The bloody and brutal autumn hunt, which was said to have killed many people, was too far away for them, and they could only provide some talk when they were bored around the fire after dinner.However, the grand triumphant ceremony held a few days ago brought benefits to ordinary citizens.Drinks and food that are openly available are not encountered every day.

It is said that because of holding this expensive triumphant ceremony, the city lord was already out of pocket, so he had to marry his precious daughter to the playboy of the Lannister family, and use the dowry to make up for the shortfall.

Of course, the above is just idle gossip from drunks and vulgar women.If Dawn heard these words, he would definitely refute them righteously: "The relationship between Miss Helen Julian and I is sincere and pure!"

Not long after the carnival of the triumphal ceremony, before the arrival of the Dragon God's Blessing Day, it was really lucky to be able to watch a golem duel!

You must know that those mages who talk all day long and are good at calculating will never be willing to take out the golems they have spent a lot of effort to create, just to entertain the public.

"Master, come on!" In the stands.Yi Lei and Yi Lian, two little lolis with flushed cheeks, waved and shouted at Gordon desperately.And Shelley was beside her, like a big sister, taking care of the two over-excited little ones.

Because of being a participant, Baron Lavaletti reserved a few seats for Gordon in the auditorium.With the idea of ​​making the little girl happy, Gordon asked Shelley to bring sisters Yi Lei and Elaine to watch the duel.

Platinum Square is Gordon's blessed place, he once defeated Hao Lin here.It can even be said that that battle was a turning point in his life in another world.But Gordon didn't like the feeling of watching a monkey show in public.

One after another, the mages who signed up for this duel at the auction yesterday.They all came to Platinum Plaza.Gordon also saw Asalan coming to Platinum Plaza in a carriage, and the one riding with him was an ordinary-looking young man.But Gordon's real and warning eyes easily saw through this man's disguise.

"Hmph, Earl Thompson... This old guy still has the heart to watch the duel of his golems? I'm afraid he is mainly here to observe me. You know how to use illusion to change your appearance, how careful you are..." Gordon said It's like mocking the opponent's clumsy trick.He smiled slightly and said to himself, "Then, Earl Thompson. Are you ready to tremble and fear? I will show you my strength today. Let you hurt the Freeman family , and fear all day long, sleepless nights.”

At nine o'clock, the core focus of the entire duel, the pink zinnia petal that every mage wanted, was brought to Platinum Square by Baron Lavaletti.

"Everyone, the duel is about to begin. All mages, please retreat to the outside. Except for their own golems, they cannot cross the red line under their feet. The rules of the duel are very simple. After the golems are damaged or completely lose their fighting power, they will be eliminated. Finally The golem left on the field is the winner."

There are no cumbersome knockout rules, this is just a big fight.It may not be reasonable enough, it may not be fair enough, and there may be various accidents.But definitely exciting and exciting.And this is also the ultimate pursuit of Baron Lavaletti and other audiences.

But after hearing the duel rules, many mages who participated in the competition frowned.

This kind of cruel chaos that does not allow retirement means that apart from the final winner, the golems of other people may be severely damaged.Such a big loss, even mages who are not short of money, will feel heartbroken for a long time.

"The winner takes all, and the loser loses all." Gordon glanced at Baron Lavaletti.

"Anyone quit?"

It's all come to this point, even if you will suffer a heavy loss in a while, how can you back down under the watchful eyes of everyone?

The mages shook their heads.

"Baron Freeman, please wait a moment." Just before Baron Lavaletti announced the start of the game, Asalan called Gordon to stop.

"Master Asalan, what can I do for you?"

"Although that pink petal is enough to attract people to fight for, wouldn't it be more interesting to add a little bit of chips to this duel?"

Asalan said, he took out a triangular flat gray stone from his dimensional bag.Although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, the ancient Nether word "runie" engraved on this stone immediately attracted everyone's attention.Not only the other mages around, but even Baron Lavaletti, who didn't know much about arcane arts, could feel the profound magical aura emanating from the words that came from the ancient Nether magic empire and had been honed over thousands of years.

"Aken Runestone?" Gordon blurted out.

Asalan is also proud of his precious collection, he said triumphantly: "Yes, this is the runestone of Aken. The runestone was made by Aken, the greatest arcanist in the Nether Empire and the Emperor of Elements. !"

How great is Nether Magic Empire?

Although people today do not personally live in that country, the empire has been passed down to the present, and the various magic items named by many great arcanists can give people the most intuitive and clear feeling.

Asalan said that Aken, the emperor of the elements, was the greatest arcanist in the Nether Empire, which is actually a bit exaggerated.Not to mention far away, the maker of the Nether staff that Gordon photographed yesterday, Logandi Lorraine, is a great arcanist who is no less than Aken in terms of arcane achievements.

In that star-studded era, there were too many great masters that people today look forward to.

However, the Aken runestone in Asalan's hand was indeed a very powerful magic item. In Gordon's view, its value was comparable to that of Neisser's staff yesterday.

"Master Asalan, I'm afraid you took out this precious Aken runestone not just to show off."

"Of course not. We are all mages, so you should know that mages don't do things without purpose..." Asalan paused, and then said, "I am willing to take out this Aken runestone as a Golem duel, additional prizes for the winner. I wonder if Baron Freeman is willing to add a little fun to this duel?"

Faced with this kind of head-on challenge, Gordon certainly will not show weakness.He knew what Asalan was thinking, and he didn't mind doing what the other party wanted - but it was hard to say who the final winner would be.

Gordon took out a pure black staff with a simple shape from the dimension bag: "I know that Master Asalan did not get this staff at the auction yesterday, and I have a little regret in my heart. So I am willing to give this durable staff Take out the magic staff as an extra prize for this golem duel."

Asalan stared at the staff in Gordon's hand, his breath stagnated slightly, and then he showed a smug smile that couldn't be concealed.

This arrogant and arrogant kid really can't stand my provocation.Do you think you can defeat me in a golem duel?This is all right, the Nether staff that was snatched by this kid at the auction yesterday can be put back into my dimensional bag today...

Asalan smiled triumphantly, and Gordon also showed a bright smile: "However, Mage Asalan, your Aken runestone is currently on the magic market, and the price is about [-] Fretons." Gold coins. But my Nether staff cost four thousand gold coins to buy, so...should you add some chips?"

The smile on Asalan's face froze instantly.In his sunken eye sockets, there was faint anger brewing.

The Nether staff was indeed purchased by Gordon for four thousand gold coins.But if it weren't for the competition at the auction and the bidding up of each other, the transaction price of this Nether staff would never have reached the height of [-] gold coins.In fact, in terms of practicality and the needs of mages, the Akon runestone far exceeds the flawed Nether staff in Gordon's hand.If the Akan runestones were placed in the auction and worked well, it would not be impossible to sell five thousand gold coins.

But these reasons, Asalan knew, Gordon knew, other mages and Baron Lavaletti also knew, but no one would say it.

Asalan knew very well that he started the fight with extra chips. If he rejected Gordon's superficially reasonable request now, he would only be ridiculed by others.What's more, in Asalan's mind, there was no possibility of losing to Gordon in the golem duel, so he finally gritted his teeth and took out his dimensional bag: "Including this dimensional bag, there are about The property of two thousand gold coins, plus the Aken gem, should be enough."

"very good."

Gordon didn't check the dimension bag either.As a six-ring mage, it is impossible for Asalan to cheat on such a small matter.Anyway, in Asalan's heart, these things will return to him sooner or later.

"Well, today's battle will definitely be very exciting." Baron Lavaletti asked again after seeing Gordon and Asalan finished, "What about the other mages, do you want to add some extra prizes to this duel?" ?”

The mages shook their heads quickly, and at the same time secretly cursed the Baron Lavaletti who was afraid of chaos in the world.

With Asalan, the sixth-ring mage, their hope of victory was already very slim. Today, they plucked up the courage to participate, mainly hoping for a small probability event—or, in other words, a miracle.Then smashing your own belongings into it, wouldn't it be the same as that four-ring mage named Gordon Freeman, asking for trouble?
