Riding and Slashing

Chapter 2

Fog Cage City.

As the largest trading city on the west coast of the Pendor Continent and the capital of the Filzway Alliance, Mistcage City is undoubtedly a city full of vitality.

Those 'dynamic social gangs' in the streets and alleys are enough to prove this point.

The crowds in the street come and go, the craftsmen's business is booming, and the wallet-cutting business of the "craftsmen" who wander the streets is also very good... There are endless shouts and curses.

The arena in the center of the city is full of people, perhaps this is the busiest time since Wulong City was founded more than 50 years ago.

Because the Sarleon Kingdom sent an aristocratic mission to the Fog Cage City to conclude a covenant.

For the Vidis leader of the Fieldsway Alliance, an alliance with the Sarleon Kingdom meant that his right to rule was recognized by the upper classes of Pendor.

This also means that the leader of the alliance will be named "King Vidis" from now on, and Filzway, a trade alliance built by pirates and stowaways, will also become a kingdom.

Therefore, for the important "historical event" of the alliance between the two countries, the leader of Vidis and the Kingdom of Sarleon jointly held a grand competitive event in the fog cage city.

Moreover, the law and order has been rectified in a rare way - members of the 'Red Brotherhood' who can be seen everywhere on the streets, selling all kinds of strange drugs and slaves, have all been expelled outside the city.

Li Ang stood in the lounge on the top corner of the arena, overlooking the bustling crowd in the city and the mission convoy parked all over the street, he let out a long breath, and took off the chain armor helmet on his head.

It was the first time in months that he had removed the face covering in front of people.

Because it will be his turn soon.

This is an unprecedented competitive competition. You can only wear designated protective gear and weapons, and you cannot use your own equipment to participate.

For the event jointly organized by the two countries, the Lion Kingdom even took out the pioneer baron certificate, which had not been issued for a long time, as a reward for the champion.

Becoming a pioneering lord may be the only way to achieve a class transition in this era of aristocratic rule... but usually the descendants of nobles can become pioneering lords.

Ordinary people cannot afford the cost and risk of territory development.

Of course, those who can participate in this kind of competitive competition are usually not ordinary people.

Leon is also a special guy.

He has been in the arena for half a year, and now he has even become a resident swordsman in the arena, and he always wears a face helmet.

This is mainly to avoid the eyes and ears of the Red Brotherhood.

This large-scale underworld organization that is running rampant all over Pande is sparing no effort to send assassins to hunt him down.In other words, they were chasing and killing the original owner of the skin—Leon Griffin.

And the secondary reason...he wants to make money.

"Mr. Li Ang, it's different from the usual small fights, this time it's a good deal..."

Behind him, a fat man with a belly of at least three hundred catties looked at Li Ang with a big smile on his face.This is the owner of the central arena in Fog Cage City, and also the organizer of this event.

Li Ang looked around, and there were only the two of them in this secret room.

"Is it a business for me to lose or for me to win?" Li Ang is no stranger to this kind of 'business', he has done this kind of business many times in the past six months, even the top-faced helmet comes from this transaction.

"See the man in the red armor over there, he is Master Forscher, Duke Alma's... illegitimate son."

The boss pointed to the arena below.

On the sidelines, a blond and fair-haired nobleman was wearing protective gear with the help of several servants. He probably hurt his neck from the standard leather hood. The nobleman kicked a servant in the face and kicked the servant somersault .

An illegitimate child has no inheritance rights, and naturally it is impossible to have titles and territories.But it is estimated that this illegitimate son is very popular with the Duke, so the Duke used this method to make it possible for him to obtain the certificate of the Baron of the Pioneer.

For the largest lord of the Sarleon Kingdom, it was not difficult to go to the wilderness to establish a pioneering barony, and let this illegitimate son become a pioneering lord with a legal fief and title.

On the contrary, it is not easy to obtain the development certificate - because the border has been invaded by the Bacchus Empire for many years, there are many nobles who have lost their fiefs. With more wolves and less meat, the Sarleon Kingdom has not issued a new certificate for several years.

"So, you want me to help that son win the championship of this competition? No wonder the previous few games have been fought in formation..."

Li Ang curled his lips. This kind of formation battle is to divide the contestants into several groups for melee, and the last group can be promoted to the next level. It is the best way for masters to lead their 'friends' to achieve good results...

"It's easy to talk to smart people... That's right, the Duke of Alma is willing to pay a thousand dinars for this, as long as you can bring Master Forscher to the finals - the great swordsman he hired before Injured in the game, and I have to change his formation, otherwise it's too fake..."

The boss's fat greasy face had already turned into a flower with a smile, and he dragged a red wooden box from behind as if conjuring.

The box made a dull friction sound when it was placed on the wooden floor, obviously it was not light.

The boss opened the wooden box, revealing the gold coins inside.

Gold coins, this is the only good thing in the world that everyone can really love, and its charm surpasses everything else.

Li Ang stretched out his hand to grab a handful, looked at the yellow gold, felt the heavy texture, his eyes were full of intoxicated light, as if he was holding the... heart of a peerless beauty in his hand.

There are a thousand of such stunning looks, it is really hard to resist.

"Then it's settled, as long as Master Forscher can enter the finals, you can take away this huge sum of money."

The fat boss is obviously a qualified businessman. From Li Ang's eyes and expression, he seems to have seen what he looked like when he was young...

This kid will probably build an arena in the future...

"Oh...forget it!" Li Ang looked at the gold coins in his hand reluctantly, let them slip through his fingers, and fell back into the box one by one, making a crisp sound.

"Why? This is a thousand..." The boss was shocked.

He couldn't understand, if he was still a few years younger... well, if he could have Li Ang's skills, then he would definitely go into battle by himself.

One thousand dinars is a lot of money.

Moreover, most of the final opponents of the illegitimate young master also accepted the same business.

Li Ang looked up at the fat boss, and pointed to the golden lion banner with a red background hanging on the wall of the arena: "The champion prize of this competition is the Baron Blazer Certificate!"

"That means that as a knight, I can re-raise the knight's banner left by my father, and re-establish the knight's emblem that bears countless glory and glory on the continent of Pendor! This will be the best opportunity for me to step into the noble class ! Do you understand?"

The boss's forehead was slightly sweaty. He knew that with the same equipment, the young man in front of him could indeed win the championship. Every game in the past six months has proved this point.

But then, the fat boss heard a sonorous and forceful voice that made him breath-taking...

"I have to pay more!"

The boss wiped the sweat from Fatty's face: "One thousand five hundred dinars, no more..."

"One thousand and eight! The Duke gave you at least two thousand dinars, right?"

Li Ang's words broke the fat boss' defense.

"Okay, let's make a deal...Mr. Li Ang, you are really..."

The fat boss didn't know what to say. He now felt that this kid would be able to build a chain of arenas in many cities in the future.

Li Ang turned his head to look at the fat boss, and pointed to Fusher who was jumping around after putting on the protective gear on the sidelines: "But this guy is really weak, maybe he will fall off the horse if no one touches him...you Are you sure this guy won't be suspected of winning the championship?"

The boss wiped the sweat off his bald head again: "Young Master of the Duke's family, so what if others suspect... It's you yourself, don't be careless, the opponent is not weak. You have to bring Master Forscher to the final, we transactions to be completed.”

It's just that the fat boss doesn't know that in front of Li Ang's eyes, there is an interface that others cannot see.

It shows some data that the Pendor would not understand even if they saw it.
