273 The old woman in white robe
Malchesno Hard stood on the edge of the VIP stands, holding his arms, overlooking the bustling crowds in the Grand Arena.
The city lord is obviously very satisfied!
Today is the first day of the Jumo City Youth and Middle-aged Adventurers Competition. With such a grand occasion, you will definitely make a big profit again.
Maintaining a huge city is already expensive, and maintaining an entire city that keeps rotating is obviously more difficult! As a lord, the Hard family often has great headaches due to financial problems. Although Jumo City relies on the hydraulic power of the Garnia River and the power of nature is inexhaustible and completely free, maintaining the transmission structure between them still requires a lot of labor costs and material loss. These will take away countless golden towers from the underground vault of the lord castle every year.
Jumo City has a nicknamed "City of Human Craftsmen", because it gathers countless skilled human carpenters, stonemasons and blacksmiths. Every few years, the Halde family will gather the top craftsmen in the city to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the base of Jumo City and the giant water trucks in the river to prevent failure and stop rotation.
The eternal rotating Giant Mo City has also become one of the most distinctive cities in the entire Urenos continent.
The city lord's eyes moved slowly.
First, it fell on the twelve entry channels, where people were pouring into the arena... Marchesno smiled with a smile on his lips. He knew very well that everyone who came in had contributed a ticket price ranging from 1 to 10 silver jiks to him, and the Sand Arena could accommodate 100,000 people. The tickets for this day could bring in thousands of Jintata income!
On the aisle of the stands, there were still many staff members shouting, selling a kind of colorful paper coupon.
The slender colored note reads the names and brief introductions of different players. A lottery ticket only costs 1 silver jigg. But if the player wins the first game, the lottery ticket can be redeemed as two silver jiggs at the prize redemption office... Of course, you can also choose to continue holding the ticket and wait and see, because every time the player wins one more game, the "value" of the lottery ticket will increase by 1 silver jigg. If the player is optimistic about winning ten consecutive games, the lottery ticket can be exchanged as 10 silver jiggs when he leaves the game that day! It has increased ten times! And the redemption office will be redeemed once during the rest period between every two games.
This was the first of this competition, and it was the proposal of a very clever aide in the Halde family... He saliva was splashing and he said a lot of principles, and Marchesno only remembered one sentence - he could definitely make money!
Finally, the heavy armored warriors quietly looked at the various major families in the VIP stands...
Because the Jumo City Competition provides various major families with the opportunity to select civilian genius boys, every time each family invites a family warrior, the Halder family will draw an intermediate fee. According to past experience, many civilian geniuses will be attracted by various major families, and this will eventually be a large amount of income!
The Jumo City Youth and Middle-aged Adventurers Competition has been held for the tenth. After each session, no matter who the final champion is won, the Halder family will be well-off for a while.
Just as this sub-legend warrior was fantasizing about his broad-minded days, the contestants finally walked into the square at the bottom!
A high sand wall has already risen in the square, dividing the arena into four large areas, located in the east, west, south and north.
Those civilian geniuses and elites from all over the kingdom, so just from a distance makes people feel dazzled! There are those who are taciturn in cloaks, those who are strong in upper body, those who are strangely dressed up, those who are humble and polite in gorgeous clothes, and those who are strange pets... Each one seems to be not simple, and they have their own stories.
———————
"Look, the first game has begun!"
"Our young master's opponent is a civilian magician! It seems that there is nothing to worry about in this battle..."
"Look carefully, each person is responsible for observing a competition area to see which young people are worthy of the head of the family, and don't miss it."
In the VIP stands, people from the missions of major noble families began to whisper, but the overall situation was still quiet.
However, in the ordinary stands below, there is a completely different scene!
People have colorful hands. Because the lottery tickets are very novel and not expensive, many people are willing to try them. At the same time, many people have come from their hometown to cheer for the players they know, and of course they are happy to buy a few to show their support. Just like betting, once they buy, they have a gambler mentality and their performance is exaggerated. The contestants staring at their betting are cheering at the top of their voices, and finally they gather into a boiling sound!
But this time, the Jumo City Competition is different from previous years. Following the advice of that staff member, Marcesno specially invited several auctioneers from Jumo City Auction House to further mobilize the atmosphere on the spot.
Four guys dressed in exaggerated style, riding reels such as the Falcon, Pegasus, etc., hovering over the four major competition zones! They are also adventurers with great strength, commenting on the contestants' performance, and their infectious voices were amplified through the special enchantment props, so that the stands next to them could hear clearly!
Even occasionally, they will read the most authoritative comments of several powerful people today...
In order to ensure fairness and convincing, in order to ensure fairness and convincing, every profession must have the most heavyweight figure in charge. Marchesno himself is one, and the sub-legend warrior has enough weight. And the sub-legend great wizard Ms. Flinda, who is still recovering from the City of Jumo, represents the authority of the mage world. The archer and the priest did not have the sub-legend. However, the Blue Feather Arrow God is the eldest disciple of His Highness Glen. He came to pay his respects for his condolences half a month ago. He is also the number one archer under the sub-legend. His sharp vision is also convincing. The last respected priest is the cardinal Antoine, the only cathedral in Jumo.
When you see players with extremely special performances or special circumstances that are difficult to determine the outcome, the four strong men will give their opinions and submit them to the four flying hosts.
In such a warm atmosphere, the first game was over quickly, with the players winning and losing, and there were also noises of different joys and sorrows in the stands.
But at this moment, the clouds in the sky suddenly separated, and a floating object larger than the purple gold flying boat appeared.
It seems to be a flying boat, but it is snow-white all over, with a large number of complicated textures carved from the bottom of the boat. The bow of the boat is actually a small statue of the Statue of Light! The Sand Arena is open-air, so the snow-white flying boat breaks through the clouds and slowly descends, as if a lid is about to cover the Sand Arena.
"Holy See?" Marchesno's face suddenly became very ugly. He stood up suddenly, and his hand unconsciously touched the handle of the axe behind him!
However, at this moment, a wrinkled hand grabbed his wrist and pressed it hard.
Marchesno looked down and saw the sloppy and short old man. The latter shook his head at him. The heavy armored warrior looked a little resentful, but he slowly let go of his giant axe.
Fortunately, the snow-white flying boat was not really pressed down.
It quickly hovered, the light golden light shield disappeared, and a figure jumped from above and landed on the VIP stands.
It was not until the "bang" that people saw clearly that it was a hunchbacked old woman in a white robe. Her face was full of wrinkles, her eyes were old and turbid, and her back was so hunched that she was almost parallel to the ground. But from then on, she could jump directly from the flying boat with a drop of more than 50 meters and land steadily, and she could see that she was certainly capable.
Some nobles recognized her identity from the rare weapon behind her - it was a long-handled sickle.
The snow-white sickle only has a light red edge.
"Blood Scythe of Light! This is Ms. Megan, the 'God Punisher' of the Inquisition!" Someone exclaimed.
Marchesno and Flinda stood side by side with a solemn expression, while the Blue Feather Arrow God changed his face and turned his head slightly to avoid his sight. There was no doubt that this old woman in white robe was also a sub-legend.
The only three sub-legends in the referee, one is the Pope, and the other two are from the referee.
This scene caused the entire Sand Arena to stagnate. People in the ordinary stands looked up at the VIP stands, and the game was interrupted.
"The referee elder came to Jumo City, I wonder what's important?" The Lord of Jumo City was obviously unhappy. He is still worried about the Holy See because of Ge Lan's death. Moreover, the sudden appearance at such a grand event is almost like deliberately making trouble!
However, what surprised him even more was still the last...
The old woman narrowed her eyes: "I heard that there were heresies here, so I didn't inform the city lord in advance. Please forgive me...Antoine, where is the heresy?"
Cardinal Antoine did not dare to neglect, and immediately reached out and pointed to the arena below, and a white light extended faintly... Marchesno looked in the direction he pointed and found that it was actually falling on a young contestant! He was a pretty boy wearing simple linen clothes. At this moment, the white light fell on his chest, and looked up in surprise.
"I understand." The old woman suddenly disappeared.
"Don't do anything randomly!" Marchesno suddenly became furious and pulled off the giant axe behind him, and his whole body suddenly increased. "This is the player of my Jumo City Competition!"
However, the old woman moved too quickly... The next moment, she had reappeared in the air of the Sand Arena! The handsome boy was held in her left hand, and the sickle had been hooked around the boy's neck. The coolness on her neck scared the handsome boy's face so pale that he didn't dare to move.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes in the stands, a sneer appeared on the corner of the old woman's mouth as she rushed over and pulled it gently.
A head flew up with blood.
Chapter completed!
