Arad's Sword

Chapter 374 Zaknafein
White Rock Cave, the location of high-level slave fighters.

There is sufficient food, a suitable living environment, and a training ground where weapons can be used.

But obviously, not every resident of Baiyan Cave can enjoy these things.

Of course, in a sense, high-level slave fighters are already part of the Tarantula tribe's combat power. It is impossible for the people inside to decide who is the boss with their fists like Heiyan, and it is even more impossible for the boss to choose first. Food is such a bad habit.

Here, who can enjoy what kind of treatment is determined by the "ranking".

Once a week, there will be a competition among these high-level slave fighters. The winner will get one point, and the loser will be deducted one point. When the competition is over, the ranking of this week will be determined.

This ranking determines the treatment of every slave fighter within this week.

Not only that, according to Zach Nafein, even the grievances between slave fighters will be resolved through competition.

General grievances will be realized through special battles with the bets negotiated by the two parties in advance.

In addition, if there is a deep hatred, it will naturally be a life-and-death duel.

Therefore, there is a saying widely circulated in Baiyan Cave - everything is decided in the arena.

From treatment to status, from slave to warrior, from life to death, everything is decided through battle.

"It seems to be a good rule." Midi commented.

As a nobleman, he is not afraid of any complicated situation of intrigue, but now he obviously doesn't have so much time to go around.

What Baiyandong did was very much to Midi's liking.

"I knew that you would like this." Zach Nafein smiled slightly.

"However, I don't quite understand one thing." Midi took a fixed look at the suspiciously friendly dark elf, and suddenly changed the topic, "Zaknafein, why did you come to me?"

"Good question, let me tell you slowly, how does this ranking help you gain freedom." Zach Nafein seemed to have been waiting for Midi to ask this question, and did it without hesitation There is an answer.

"All ears." A ray of light flashed in Midi's calm eyes.

"There are more than forty slave fighters here, and, as time goes by, the Tarantula Tribe will capture more captives, and the Black Rock Cave will naturally send more newcomers here." Zach Nafan said methodically, "In fact, only the top five can really get into the sight of the dark elves!"

"Will you be free if you become the top five?" Midi blurted out, but then denied herself.

If it was really that simple, and five people could go out every week, the Baiyan cave would probably be empty by now.

"Or in other words, stay in the top five for a long enough time?" Midi added a reasonable condition.

However, Zach Nafein still laughed loudly: "I'm sorry, Midi, but I can't help it. It seems that you, a human, really came from the surface, and you don't understand some traditional habits of the Underdark Region at all. Although it’s disappointing to say so, no matter how long you maintain the top five, you still won’t be able to gain freedom, because what a tribe needs are not only powerful fighters, but also loyal fighters!”

It turned out that after becoming the top five, one could obtain a qualification—the qualification to go out to perform missions with the warriors of the Tarantula Tribe.

Of course, during this process, every slave fighter will have a magical iron chain around his neck, commonly known as the "iron ring". Once the slave fighter wants to escape, the priests in the tribe only need to cast a spell, even if the distance is more than a thousand kilometers. , will also cause the hoop to explode, which in turn will blow up the Slave Fighter's head.

And in the case of being unable to escape, what the slave fighter needs to do is to do everything possible to complete the task with the tribal fighters.

According to the difficulty of the task, the performance in the task, etc., the slave fighter will get a certain contribution point.

When the contribution points are accumulated to a sufficient level, they can be exchanged for one thing——

free!

Enter the top five in the competition and get the qualification to go out to perform missions.

Continuously accumulate contribution points through tasks.

Finally buy freedom.

This is the road before a slave fighter.

However, if this road is followed step by step, even if it is guaranteed to be among the top five every week, it will take at least three months to accumulate enough contribution points.

This time is obviously a bit long.

"As you can see, I am a warrior from Stormwind City. In the Underdark, that city is much larger than the Tarantula Tribe. Unfortunately, I had to flee because I offended the city lord. When I was finally exhausted, I was picked up by the Tarantula Tribe and became a slave fighter." Zaknafan said eloquently, "However, since I am a fighter, it is only natural that I hope to be able to participate in the Black Dragon Conference." qualifications, even if you start as a slave!"

"You want to speed up." From the other party's eyes, Midi saw an urgent ambition.

"That's right, it takes three months to get rid of slavery! By then, I think the peripheral primary elections will be over long ago, so I must use some extraordinary methods to quickly accumulate contribution points." Zach Nafein lowered his voice , whispered to Midi.

"What way?" Midi's eyes were still extremely calm, like a piece of ice that would never melt.

Although it is indeed tempting to quickly accumulate contribution points, who can guarantee that everything Zach Nafein said is true?The more it is at this time, the more you must keep calm, so as not to become the opponent's pawn.

As a nobleman, Midi is too familiar with these kinds of traps, so he has to guard against them.

However, Zach Nafein's tone became more and more excited: "It's very simple, the two of us carry out the mission together, or, with a very small number of tarantula fighters, carry out the mission together! We take the big head and make a lot of money at once. contribution points!"

"Is there another way?" Midi's heart moved.

If the other party proposes this kind of formal cooperation that can't be tricked, then he doesn't mind the next step.

"In the Underdark Region, if you go out on an adventure alone, you may be lucky enough to complete a mission once in a while. But if you want to complete a large number of missions stably and earn contribution points steadily, two people are the most suitable partner. Three people are too many , One person is not enough, two people are invincible, not only in the Tarantula Tribe, but also in most slave fighters in the Underdark, this method is adopted." Zaknafein patiently explained.

Obviously, the practice of partners earning contribution points is common sense here, and it's no wonder that Zach Nafein never thought about it, and Midi would doubt his intentions.

In the eyes of these dark elves, it is perfectly normal to make such a request, and there is nothing to play tricks on. The only problem is who to choose as a partner, that's all.

Feeling slightly touched by the simple and direct style of the Underdark, Midi nodded, "I agree."

"Very well, I knew you wouldn't refuse, my friend." Zaknafein laughed loudly and patted Midi on the shoulder vigorously.

"Then what we need to do next is to enter the top five first?" Midi confirmed.

Zach Nafein shook his head, with confidence and arrogance revealed in his eyes: "I have been in the No.3 position for four weeks, and there will be no problem next week. The point is, I hope you can be in the No. , Within three weeks, get familiar with this place, and then break into the top five."

"I see." Midi suddenly realized.

The top five can qualify for the task.

The way to earn a lot of contribution points is to partner with two people, because it is too dangerous for one person to do it alone, and it is too inefficient for three people to share contribution points.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the other four people have formed a partner team respectively, and only Zach Nafein is excluded.

Seeing others rushing towards freedom at the speed of running, but she can only attack the tarantula tribe at the speed of a tortoise crawling, Midi can imagine this feeling.

No wonder, he went to the arena to watch the selection.

I'm afraid what he wants to look at is not himself, a rare human being, but a truly excellent partner.

But the premise is that Midi gets the top five qualifications.

According to Zach Nafein, the first and second two are a group, and the fourth and fifth are also a group.

The two in front are powerful, both at the peak strength of level 61, even if they are placed in the Tarantula tribe, they are definitely number one.

Even if Zach Nafein is an elite from a big city, he doesn't want to provoke these two people. Even if he can defeat one of them, the trouble he will bring is far greater than the benefit he will get.

Therefore, Zach Nafein has always stayed at No.3.

The fourth and No. 5 two people were from a tribe that was wiped out by Stormwind City, and they were full of hatred for Zak Nafein, so naturally it was even more impossible for them to cooperate.

This time, Zach Nafein hoped that Midi could find a way to defeat one of the two to obtain the mission qualification.

The time limit is three weeks. If it exceeds three weeks, there is no doubt that Zach Nafein will give up Midi.

The so-called cooperation is based on reciprocity. If the degree of reciprocity cannot be achieved, then this fragile cooperative relationship will naturally come to an end.

However, Zach Nafein didn't know that the goal Midi set for himself was to advance to the top five within this week!
You know, although Zach Nafein was at the speed of a turtle before, he had at least accumulated some contribution points. If he was free after the two partnered, wouldn't it mean that Midi would be able to accumulate contribution points at the speed of a turtle?

Of course, there is another option, that is, Zach Nafein has contribution points but does not buy freedom, but continues to do tasks with Midi until he also gets enough contribution points.

However, how could Midi pin her hope on the other party's help?

The safest way is to try not to widen the gap between the contribution points of the two parties, and then allow yourself to get as many contribution points as possible when doing tasks. In the end, both of them will be free at the same time, or Meddie will be free. Get enough contribution points first!
At that time, the initiative will be in Midi's hands whether to help Zach Nafein or get freedom directly.

Therefore, it is impossible for Midi to accept spending three weeks to get a top five.

On the contrary, he wants to get a stable ranking at the fastest speed in the shortest time!
