I'll help the Demon King settle the world

Chapter 7: Catch the duck on the shelf and be pushed into the arena!

Yuan Zhen and Reis followed Li Duo to his mansion. What caught their eyes was a tall and magnificent mansion.

It's even more amazing to walk into the mansion. The long corridor is filled with various famous paintings.

Although Yuan Zhen couldn't understand what famous painting was hanging, it was very beautiful.

Although I don’t know how to appreciate paintings, I would definitely not be polite if you sent them to me to pack up and take away.

Yuan Zhen couldn't think greedily for more than three seconds before his attention was taken away by another wave of luminous objects that caught his eye.

I saw various display cabinets made of transparent glass, filled with various mechanical clocks made of golden gems. It's like a watch museum displaying clocks.

Walking in the Lido Mansion, I sighed as I walked, the mansion of "Hongding Merchant Lido" is as grand as his name. Not only is there such a large mansion in the prosperous area of ​​the central city of Flora, but there is also a house in the middle of the mansion. Extra large fountain.

This... this is simply envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Although the Li family was an eye-opener for Yuan Zhen, in her heart, she couldn't help but compare it with Leith's Crystal City.

Although it is dazzling, it is inevitably vulgar, much worse than Crystal City!

When the servants served the dishes, Li Duo warmly welcomed Yuan Zhen and others to the table.

Yuan Zhen unceremoniously sat next to Li Duo and chatted with him while eating.

Reis, on the other hand, sat across the dining table, staring up at them as they chatted with the Heat.

Looking at Leisi, who was sitting silently and staring at them, Lido whispered to Yuan Zhen, who was working hard next to him, and said:

"Hey, your friend is so weird. Why don't you eat? Are these foods not to your liking?" As the owner, Liduo felt that the greeting was not appropriate for the first time.

"It's okay, it's okay, he's just like that..." Yuan Zhen helped smooth things over while stuffing food into his mouth.

She knew very well that Reis was not an ordinary person and could stay energetic even without eating or sleeping.

I guess I have read too many books and learned a lot of ancient forbidden magic.

You only need to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and you will be full without filling your stomach with food.

Yuan Zhen thought so.

"Then he's not hungry?" Lido was stared at by his cold and treacherous eyes, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Yuan Zhen, who deeply understood Li Duo's situation, smiled awkwardly and said:

"It's okay, he's not hungry."

"Then why is he always staring at us."

"Get used to it! Just get used to it, we'll get used to it!"

It is true that no one can eat safely under the sight of Reis.

As a result, Li Duo and Yuan Zhen put down the tableware in their hands and turned their backs to Reis. Yuan Zhen changed the subject.

"Brother, you have also seen that the person who came to me to find a way out is worried that the mercenary will not pass the interview. He is so worried that he can't even eat."

Yuan Zhen took the lead in betraying the situation and shamelessly took advantage of the situation and asked for help from this "Hongding businessman" who was known for his charity.

"Is that true?"

Li Duo glanced suspiciously at the masked man behind him who had an extraordinary temperament. He wondered why such a star-like person would be troubled by being unable to become a mercenary?

Isn't this kind of person a talent that the entire Magic Guild is competing for? ? ?

The protective rebound he just showed at the entrance of the Magic Guild has attracted the attention of many high-level magicians. If he hadn't known Yuan Zhen and invited him as a guest first, it would have been a senior magician who would have been a guest.

Li Duo's purpose of approaching Yuan Zhen this time is to get to know the master behind Yuan Zhen.

Since Yuan Zhen and the others want to recruit mercenaries, they might as well go with the flow, be good people, and gain favors.

After calculating the profit, he made a suggestion to Yuan Zhen, who was thinking about becoming a mercenary.

"You might as well go and apply directly for the regiment commander!" Lido proposed his idea to Yuan Zhen with a smile.

"Commander of the Corps???" Yuan Zhen responded to Li Duo in shock, "Impossible, impossible. How can I be the commander of the Corps with my qualifications?!"

"Nothing is impossible. You were very good when you were a mercenary. Nothing is impossible." Lido encouraged her.

"How can it be okay? I can run away and steal things, but I can't go into battle and kill ten thousand enemies." What Yuan Zhen said is the truth! She knows how much she weighs and what kind of person she is.

"Don't say you can't do it. Maybe you couldn't do it before, but it's different now. Maybe you can really do it." Lido pointed behind her, and he saw the extraordinary Reis.

He knows that he will definitely help her!

Yuan Zhen was well aware of Li Duo's hint.

Although the purpose of her coming this time is to find a way to change the world.

But why must she rely on Reis's help before she can become the corps leader? Why can't you do it on your own?

Could it be that she is really that bad? People think she is not good! ! !

Yuan Zhen's eyebrows were twitching from side to side, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Li Duo looked at Yuan Zhen's hesitant expression and mistakenly thought that she was swaying because of her lack of ability, so he further hinted:

"Anyway, if you go to apply for mercenaries, you won't earn much money for the mercenary money, and you will easily lose your life. Why don't you just go to the arena, win a few games, become familiar, join the magic guild, and maybe become a corps leader? Dangdang. Not only is the income stable, but it’s also a well-organized job that will provide you with a permanent job! It’s not much better than the fact that you have one meal and no next meal!”

Listening to Liduo's career planning for her, think about it, the fastest way to be promoted now is indeed to go to the arena and get familiar with it.

So I agreed to go to the arena to try it out tomorrow.

After finishing their meal and preparing to rest, Lido politely led Yuan Zhen and the others to two guest rooms in the corridor.

"These are the two upper rooms I have specially prepared for you two. I hope you are satisfied."

Li Duo seemed to be a good customer, but he didn't say a word to Yuan Zhen, who was so frightened that he could hardly stand up.

"No, just the two of us can sleep in one room, not two!"

"You guys slept together?!" Lido looked at the two of them dumbfounded.

Yuan Zhen nodded desperately, "We have been sleeping together. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yuan Zhen looked at him innocently. Back when she was in the shelter, due to limited space, she and her foster brothers and sisters slept in the Datong bunk, and Reis usually meditated next to her sleeping bunk.

So in her cognition, there is no concept of distinction between men and women.

Now that Lido is helping them arrange two rooms, she thinks it is a completely unnecessary waste.

"Since you are all sleeping together, just pretend that I didn't say anything." Li Duo thought that their relationship was unusual, so he left with understanding.

Two people were left who didn't know what was going on, and looked at the figure of Li Duo who kept muttering "I didn't expect these two people to have such a relationship" in ignorance.

Yuan Zhen opened the door and entered the room, and was immediately attracted by the large bed covered with soft velvet.

"Wow, I have never slept on such a good bed." Yuan Zhen shouted excitedly.

Leis folded his hands on his chest and stood by the door watching Yuan Zhen jumping on the bed.

When Yuan Zhen was tired from dancing, he lay down under the quilt with his little head exposed, and suddenly said with emotion:

"If I had thought of going to the arena to recruit the captain of the army, maybe Liuyin and Xilin would not have died..."

Leith, who stood by the door with his arms folded, looked at her through his mask in astonishment.

He didn't expect Yuan Zhen to say such a sentence suddenly, and the cold eyes in the mask suddenly turned into soft light, staring at her.

Yuan Zhen met Lei Lei's gentle gaze, and she could deeply feel the warmth and care revealed in his icy eyes in his mask.

She shrugged, hugged the velvet pillow and quilt, and walked to Leith's side.

He knelt down, put the pillow at Leith's feet, raised his head, and said to Leith with a smile:

"You can just use this as a mat and make do with it." After saying that, he pulled the quilt by himself and fell asleep at Leith's feet, carrying him on his back.

Reis looked at Yuan Zhen who was sleeping at his feet, and stubbornly bent down and sat cross-legged.

But he didn't close his eyes and meditate as usual, but kept looking at Yuan Zhen's back, looking at...

Until Yuan Zhen fell asleep, he kept watching...

When the sunlight outside the window just hit the glass, Lido stood quietly outside the door, pretended to cough twice, knocked on the door a few times, and said to the guests inside:

"Sorry to disturb you. The two of you inside, did you sleep comfortably last night? If you have already woken up, please go to the restaurant for breakfast." After saying that, Lido turned around and went to the restaurant to wait for them.

Yuan Zhen was awakened by Li Duo's sounds, stretched and sat up.

But she was surprised to find that Reis had been sitting next to her, his eyes never leaving her.

Did she do something wrong?

Yuan Zhen looked back at this unfathomable gaze, but she still couldn't figure out why Reis kept looking at her like this, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

So she changed the subject and said, "Liduo asked us to go to dinner. Let's go there quickly." She stood up awkwardly and threw the quilt back on the bed.

As soon as he opened the door, he ran towards the corridor without looking back.

Only Reis, who had been paying attention to her every move, stood there...

When Yuan Zhen strode to the restaurant, Li Duo was already sitting at the table, waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Yuan Zhenli, he immediately stood up, helped Yuan Zhen pull out a chair, and asked her to sit down like a gentleman.

Then Leis came with his head held high and sat opposite Yuan Zhen, his eyes still locked on the person in front of him.

Yuan Zhen was embarrassed and ate under the watchful eye of Reis.

Li Duo looked at the two of them beside him, approached Yuan Zhen curiously, and asked:

"Isn't he hungry? I haven't seen him since yesterday. Has he eaten?"

"He's not hungry, not hungry!" In order to help Reis lie, Yuan Zhen deliberately leaked the reason she made up to Li Duo secretly.

"Yesterday, he and I secretly went out to eat in the middle of the night. He ate too much and he probably hasn't digested it now..."

Lido responded with a clear "Oh~" and lowered his head to concentrate on eating.

After Yuan Zhen quickly finished his breakfast, he wiped his face covered with food residue with his arm and said:

"Let's go! Let's go to the arena today!"

After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he stood up and left. Reis also stood up and followed, followed closely by Lido.

The Arena of the Principality of Frona is composed of a magnificent amphitheater-style building.

It is divided into four floors. The bottom floor is the arena and the upper three floors are the stands.

There are often nobles, high-level magicians, high-level swordsmen and other distinguished people from the Kingdom of Flora in the stands, coming to watch the battle and select talents.

Yuan Zhen and his party walked through the busy streets and arrived outside the arena, but were blocked from entering by the soldiers guarding the entrance of the arena!

"Those without a pass are strictly prohibited from entering!"

The guarding soldiers showed their dazzling spears and blocked Yuan Zhen and the others from the arena.

Lido immediately jumped out from behind Yuan Zhen, took out a pocket of gold coins in front of the guard soldiers who blocked their entry, handed them to the soldiers who blocked them, and said politely:

"Brothers, I would like to invite you to tea. Please be accommodating and let me go in with my friends to see the market." Li Duo handed over a bag of gold coins, and one of the guarding soldiers took advantage of the fact that there was no one around. He took the bag of gold coins into his arms, signaled, and let them in.

Sure enough, "money" can reach the sky!

Yuan Zhen sighed as he walked into the arena.

It's a pity that I am empty-handed and penniless. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been looked down upon like this.

Women, you still have to have power, money, and be reliable.

When Yuan Zhen and his party entered the entrance of the arena, what struck their eyes was a huge platform made of marble.

And they entered from the entrance, which happened to be the highest level - the fourth floor.

At this time, the horn sounded in the field, the competition officially began, and people from all walks of life entered the field one after another.

According to the regulations of the Everona Arena, there is no restriction on the use of any weapons during the competition.

And in each game, fifty contestants participate at the same time. Only the only remaining winner in each game will be eligible for the next game, a life-or-death showdown between winner and winner.

The winner must be at least a regiment commander who can command more than fifty people.

The stands in the arena were bustling with excitement. Spectators in some stands were watching the life-and-death fights in the arena while gathering people to place bets and gamble.

Yuan Zhen, who was standing at the top, ignored the crazy betting actions of the people around him.

Her eyes had already been attracted by the battle of life and death on the arena stage.

"Wow, that's amazing. There are all experts on the stage. I've never seen the techniques they used before!"

Lido, who was standing nearby, raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly:

"Such little tricks are not trivial to you. Why should you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

"You think too highly of me..." Yuan Zhen said with an embarrassed smile.

"I believe in you, you will definitely win! Look, I even signed up your name for you!" Li Duo took out the "Life and Death Contract" and handed it to Yuan Zhen.

"What? What kind of registration?" Yuan Zhen was stunned on the spot, "You...why did you just sign me up?"

"When I first entered the venue, I signed up for you by the way. Aren't you also here to try your skills? Don't worry, I believe in your ability, you will definitely win!" Li Duo pushed Yuan Zhen onto the stage while encouraging her behind her road.

Reis, on the other hand, stood nearby, watching this scene mysteriously.

As if waiting for some opportunity to come.

Yuan Zhen was pushed to the arena by Li Duo as if he was being chased.

"Hey, you sold me out like this!"

Looking around the entire arena, Yuan Zhen felt deeply that she was the fool who was still helping count money after being betrayed.

Yuan Zhen's guess was correct. After Li Duo pushed her onto the stage, he immediately turned back to the gambling table and bet on Yuan Zhen's victory with a large bag of gold in his hand!

Yuan Zhen, who was standing at the edge of the arena, was being stared at fiercely by a group of competitors who had just come on stage, eager to devour her!

Yuan Zhen was like a little sheep caught in a tiger's mouth, so weak and helpless among a group of burly and powerful competitors.
