Dark Shadow Shrine

A god once said such a sentence: Mortals are meaningless except to provide the power of faith.

He didn't realize that because of the collapse of many planes centered on Ultron Continent, as the core of this multiverse, Ultron Continent has more free energy.

This is exactly the reason why many adventurers have advanced to high-level adventurers like a blowout after the beginning of the turbulent years. This is a bad era, but also an era of heroes.

However, most people don't realize this.

Or, they don't realize how high they can reach.

In the Dueling Canyon of the Mosha Empire, there is the largest arena in the empire. In the martial Mosha Empire, in addition to joining the army and making military achievements, gaining the favor of a big man in the arena is one of the best ways for a strong man from a commoner background to rise to the top in one step.

The Tournament of the Seven Empires was not so much an open competition. If they want to show their strength on such a vast stage, the commoner and strong can only fight for the few wild card qualifications through the arena.

There are also some people who are not interested in martial arts due to various reasons such as overage or poor appearance, and they are destined not to be selected by the nobles.

The desire to strive for the top gradually dissipates with age, either in pursuit of excitement, or simply by working hard to make a living.

On this day, several gladiators were suddenly notified that an adult was interested in them.

Alpha Young was one of them, he was twenty-five years old. It is the age when a fighter enters the peak, has sufficient experience, and has strong physical fitness. If he is at the peak of the silver rank, if he has such an opportunity, he can enter the gold rank.

In this way he has a chance to get a good job in the hands of the noble lord.

He didn't want the title of knight anymore. The aristocrats don't talk about it, but in fact, most of them are lifelong members of the Appearance Association. His old uncle's face, plus the long and slender scar from the left forehead to the corner of the left mouth, made him refuse that way.

And he lacks a good kit. His paper-thin armor forces him to often dodge like a rogue, which greatly limits his performance. Even the newly formed adventurer team is unwilling to accept him, because the new team often has its own equipment, and no one wants a crispy warrior who can't handle monsters.

Just when Alpha had no expectations, a day of luck came.

In the living room where servants were selected for noble lords, Alpha saw the owner of the arena with his nostrils upturned like a pug waiting beside the three extremely beautiful little girls.

Ah! It turned out to be Feng Wu Zhan Ji! And there are three of them!

Seeing the extremely dazzling golden phoenix-tailed skirt, a familiar gladiator beside him let out a low exclamation.

Lenliott. What is Phoenix Dance Warrior? Alpha asked in a low voice.

A special profession unique to the Church of Love and Goodness. Able to play, capable and eye-catching, there are at most thirty graduates in the entire continent a year. The barbarian gladiator replied.

What's so special?

Special? Especially these two words are not enough to describe them! Even the gods are rushing to get them. An imperial emperor may not be able to form a small team. To send Feng Wu Zhan Ji as an attendant who came to recruit people, it must be Super big guy. We sent it! Renliott's eyes were filled with indescribable excitement.

It should be like this, Alpha saw the reactions of his friends and the owner of the arena, and immediately recognized the backstage of these three Phoenix Dance Fighting Girls as super nobles.

The owner of the arena flattered Karin: Actually, Miss Karin, we still have a lot of good gladiators in the arena. Don't just focus on such a group of... guys with average quality.

No need! Sitting on the main seat. Karin waved her hand: I want these.

Behind Karin, two contemporaries who had been friends with Karin looked at everything in front of them curiously. They came here purely for Karin's appearance. Firstly, Karin was their eldest sister, and secondly, Karin directly used Raven's money to help them buy several sets of expensive clothes. Their family background is not particularly good, and it is very expensive to practice Fengwu Zhan Ji.

Originally, Feng Wu and Zhan Ji were not allowed to work for anyone before they graduated. Anyway, Karin, a prospective voter of Sune, took the lead, so they boldly followed.

Cough—— Karin cleared her throat: My master, Earl Yunfield, has taken a fancy to you. If you join the Yunfield family, you will have everything you want!

At this time, a golden peak wanderer with triangular eyes who stood closest to Karin suddenly laughed grinningly: Yunfield? I'm sorry. I have traveled the entire continent, but I have never heard of this family name. You must not be lying to me. Or is it that this is a newly-emerged small family? I have everything I want? What if I want you... Hehe! Although it’s just a little girl who hasn’t grown up yet, it’s quite substantial!”

While talking, the guy actually stretched his hand towards Karin's chest.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were grabbed by nervous giant hands.

My body is not something that dirty claws like yours can touch. A fierce breath suddenly appeared from Karin's back.

Everyone instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The rogue immediately resorted to [Shadow Leap] to escape.

His movements were fast, but Karin's movements were even faster. In a flash, a slender and smooth leg kicked the wanderer's back, kicking him away from the temporary opening of the shadow plane. , followed by a magnificent split with his heel on the shoulder of the wanderer.

In the next moment, everyone saw that the hand that the wanderer had stretched out had already flown out. Karin's long legs stepped on the wanderer's head, and the wrists and ankles of the guy's limbs were completely nailed through by the throwing knife that appeared at some time.

The audience was in an uproar!

My hand! the rogue screamed.

Don't make noise! Karin moved her legs a little, and when she exerted force, someone's jaw suddenly broke.

Everyone gasped.

Miss Karin, this doesn't comply with the rules. The boss of the arena just said a few words before he was blocked by a bag of gold coins thrown at him.

Karin showed Raven's family crest, and at the same time, a contemporary behind her put a bag of gold coins on the table, opened the tie, and revealed the god's gold coins inside.

Hiss— This generous gesture dazzled the eyes of the gladiators.

Karin's red lips parted lightly: My master, Leiwen Yunfield, can give you hope, and you can also give you despair! Those who agree to join our family will receive 10,000 mainland gold coins per person, and a ten-year long contract! You will pay when you sign the soul contract. money.

A large amount of cash, a god-given earl status recognized by the gods, plus the golden signboard of Feng Wu Zhan Ji, a group of tomorrow's masters who can reach the legendary level in the future, just gave 10,000 gold coins to the thief's boat.

They didn't even know that their titular master, Lei Wen, was just a magic stick now, and there were not many people under him... Well, the blonde loli is a good-for-nothing.

Then... what about him? The boss of the arena pointed at the half-dead golden-rank wanderer at Karin's feet.

Counting the money together, anyway, my master has plenty of money and a way to deal with him. So, this guy was sold in a daze.

That night, Lei Wen stabbed him more than a dozen times with [Conqueror's Sword], pouring holy water of life every time he was about to die.

The next day, Alpha and the others saw that this scarred guy had pledged his allegiance to the overly young half-elf boy in front of him like a dog.

Although there seems to be something wrong, the benefits are real. For example, Alpha, he obtained a set of gold-rank steel heavy armor and a +2 gold-rank two-handed sword. For this set of equipment, the market price is at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

You guys, as representatives of the Kingdom of Corinthians, will participate in the Seven Empires Tournament. Raven ordered.

On September 8, 1314 in the Ultron calendar, Lei Wen and his party finally arrived at Mosha City, the imperial capital of the Mosha Empire.

The formal official welcome ceremony is scheduled for the evening, and Lei Wen and his party will first go to the martial arts arena to report.

The Mosha Empire Arena is actually the commonly used arena. This gladiatorial field located outside the imperial capital was specially started by Mo Sha I on the day the capital was established in order to maintain the martial spirit of the empire.

After centuries of expansion and improvement, it has now become the acropolis of an imperial capital. Behind the 15-meter-high terrifying wall, there are a total of nine arenas, one big and eight small. Even the smallest arena is bigger than the football field before Raven crossed.

The central arena, this majestic building with an exterior wall as high as 50 meters, is a giant arena that can accommodate 100,000 people to watch the battle. Inside, there is a terrifying defensive magic circle that can resist the full attack of the strong below the sanctuary, and a solidified mythal that can amplify images and sounds.

In the giant duel arena, the bottom is an extremely hard diamond floor, and the top is three meters thick black soil. In fact, this was originally loess, but the blood caused by the long-term fighting over the centuries has dyed the land black.

Not to mention standing on it, even if you are close to the venue, you can smell the bloody smell that is as strong as the real thing.

Those who are more timid will even faint directly.

Without letting others follow, Lei Wen quietly stared at this majestic building in the player passage, feeling deeply moved for a moment.

A strange and impulsive voice suddenly entered Lei Wen's ears: If you don't have the awareness of sacrifice, go back and hide under your mother's skirt. A half-bastard like you will only spill your blood on the black soil.

Raven turned his head and stared hard at the tall elf ranger not far in front of him, as if he wanted to carve flowers out of his face.

There was no difficulty, for he easily recognized Wallis Tempest, now unknown, but to be the servant of Corellon Larissian, Patron of the Elves in the Year of the Voyage.

Headache! This guy is an extreme elf purist! (to be continued ~^~)
