Foreigner's Journey

"Izenaby, homeless."

Shaking the other's outstretched hand, Heather, who decisively used the name of Master Cheap, raised the novel in his hand: "You wrote it?"

"How is that possible? I'm just a poor and destitute wandering author and a big fan of the evil hero series. If I can write such a good work, I'm afraid I'll dislocate my jaw from laughing."

Guo Gai smiled: "Izenaby, can I call you that? You..."

He lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously, "Is it a professional hunter?"

Heather clipped the bookmark and closed the book, smiling at Guogai: "You are kidding, Mr. Guogai, I'm just an unemployed vagabond, how could I be a professional hunter."

"NONONO, you can't hide it from me."

Guo Gai looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he continued to lower his voice and said to Heather: "I have seen many professional hunters, and you have the exact same temperament as them."

"temperament?"

"How do you say it? It's like the surface of the body is covered with an invisible magnetic field, and it's like there is a terrible energy inside the body."

Guo Gabi gestured: "You know what I mean? It seems that there is a decisive difference between professional hunters and ordinary people, fundamentally different. How, can I learn? Do I have this qualification?"

Sharp guy... Because he has to exercise [Tangling] and [Practice] all the time, he has been putting his qi on the surface of his body to keep it covered. I didn't expect this ordinary person who didn't know what to read at all would be able to detect it.

"now what?"

Heather restrained all his qi and entered the state of [absolute].

"No, no... It's like an ordinary person now, how did you do it? Sure enough, weird things like this temperament can be cultivated the day after tomorrow!?"

Looking at Guo Gai, I can't wait to rush up and touch up and down to see the difference in body structure between Heather and ordinary people.

Guo Gai looked enthusiastic and familiar, but Heather could see the maliciousness hidden in his eyes. This guy's purpose was not simple.Even an apprentice of the source of the heart pays attention to the nature of the heart. Heather does not intend to teach the so-called travel writer in front of him, but he will not take the lead in hurting others when the other party does not provoke him.

Then... let's just say no.

"Don't ask, Mr. Gogai, this is not something you should know."

Heather lowered her head to open the novel, found the bookmarked page, and said without raising her head: "In addition, give a friendly reminder, don't take the initiative to ask rashly when you encounter a similar situation next time, not every enthusiasm All inquiries will be answered peacefully. You… should be able to understand what I mean?”

Guo Gai's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt a powerful malice from the other party, it was as if a frog was being stared at by a snake, and in an instant, the malice disappeared without a trace like Haruyuki encountering the scorching sun.

He looked around subconsciously, and the passengers and flight attendants walking around seemed to be completely unaware of this. He touched the collar again, only to find that the collar was already wet with cold sweat. All turned off.

"Thank you, thank you for pointing out..."

bang!bang!

The train moved slowly, speechless all the way.

###Chapter 8 Sky Arena###

If you want to make an analogy, Flash City is similar to Los Angeles on Earth.

Among the world's three largest airship manufacturing companies, 'Windless Bird' and 'Hiram' are based in the city.At the same time, the food and clothing industries here are also extremely developed. Since the world's largest airship airport and the important port "Flash Port" are located in this city, the cargo throughput ranks first in the world.

After taking the train for more than seven hours, I finally arrived at Flash City, but Heather's travel destination was not here.

The travel writer Guo Gai met on the train earlier got off the train halfway, and he didn't even dare to say hello. It seems that he also understood that his hidden intentions were discovered by Heather, so he ran away.

But Heather didn't take this man to heart at all, and instead focused on the novel.

After leaving the train station, Heather chose a very famous restaurant in the city, the High Rock Fireplace Hall, as the battle site for his dinner, according to the recommendation in the Flash City Travel Guide.

High Rock Fireplace Hall, as the name suggests, is a restaurant specializing in barbecue, which is a barbecue restaurant specializing in the use of open fire ovens.Whole and whole sausages, slightly charred exteriors, rib waiting to be cut, tender and juicy brisket, these dazzling meats are like Christmas tree lights, hanging happily in circles and circles. Next to the oversized open fire grill in the center of the restaurant.

The recommended menu that the store is proud of is the 'Palace Class Course'.Thick slices of tender and juicy grilled beef brisket, crispy charred skin mixed salad, trembling pure meat sausage, ribs with rich sweet sauce, and a bowl containing 32 kinds of condiments are stacked on the oversized dinner plate Sauce (refillable), pickles, baked potatoes cut in half, and served with a cold beer fresh off the ice.

Heather had to admit that the meal was a real treat.

Arrived at Hiram International Airport at 8:40 p.m., which is located at the northernmost tip of Flash City and even the Urubian Continent. As long as you reach the airship from here, you can go to the Sky Arena.

There are no planes in Hunter World, but there are a lot of airships.

The airship ticket of 10 yen is really worth the money. The super-giant airship with the size of a football field inside is not slow. The airship meal of Hiram Airlines is simple but tastes quite good, especially the coffee and The cake is a must.

Ding Dong!

"Dear passengers, thank you for taking the airship of Hiram Airlines. The sky arena is coming soon. Please don't move around from your seat, please don't worry if there will be a slight vibration when you land..."

Heather lifted the blindfold, stretched comfortably, and looked out the window of the airship beside him.

The weather was not very good, and I saw a huge tower with various buildings and exhibition stands on the surface, which looked like a giant sword stirring the thick clouds from a distance.

Sky Arena, with a total of 250 floors and a height of 91 meters, is the fourth tallest building in the world.

Following the crowd and walking out of the air station, Heather found dozens of special buses parked at the door leading directly to the Sky Arena.The Sky Arena is located in the 'Josket District' of the Archifel Continent, adjacent to the Republic of Batokia. All surrounding public facilities, residential buildings and even cities are completely built around the Sky Arena.

Sky Arena, bottom of the tower.

Heather looked at the almost endless line of people and scratched his head: "Is it so lively?"

I looked down at the brochure in my hand, which was a free brochure distributed by the tour guide to every queue person.

[There are no strict rules, as long as you can defeat your opponent, you can advance. 】

[Every time a player advances, the floor they are on will rise, and the bonus will also increase as the floor climbs. 】

[An average of 4000 people challenge higher floors every day. 】

[More than one billion spectators enter the venue every year, and there are all kinds of facilities in the venue. 】

[High-level warriors can even have an entire floor. 】

[This is the holy land of barbarians and the paradise of fighters. 】

The line looked long, but it was actually moving very fast, and it was Heather's turn in less than an hour.

"Welcome to Sky Arena, please fill in the information here. Because it is related to opponents and difficulty, please fill in truthfully for your safety."

At the registration window, the female receptionist wearing a uniform with a fist pattern looked sweet and gentle, and handed the form to Heather with both hands.

Name, age and gender are not a problem, it is mainly the last item [Fighting Experience].Heather thought about it and filled in [15 years].

In this way, you can arrange for yourself a judge with good eyesight and a more interesting opponent?

When you walk into the hall on the first floor of the Sky Arena, you can really realize what a huge building it is. In addition to the hall on the first floor that can accommodate thousands of people, there are also several 'small' venues, each of which has its own 's number.

Heather, numbered [2415], was assigned to the F division.Here is a huge square arena, with hundreds of people sitting scattered in the audience seats in four directions. Among them are the contestants who are ready to play and the enthusiastic spectators who bet and shout.

There are 4 square competition stages 4X16 in the center of the venue, and two people are fighting hard on each stage, and each stage has an exclusive referee for review.

"Contestants No. 2415 and No. 1793, please come to the K ring."

After sitting in the stands for a while, it was Heather's turn to play. It seemed that the computer drew the numbers immediately.

Amid the loud and noisy cheers of the audience in the stands, Heather and a giant man with musculature walked onto the ring, not knowing who the audience's cheers were for.

"It's Montell! Lucky for this guy, the opponent is a skinny monkey!"

"Little devil, don't be scared to pee your pants hahahaha!"

"It's my turn! This is the best chance to advance!"

Heather's mouth twitched, well, the cheers didn't seem to be for him.

The squinting referee stood by the ring and explained:

"In the competition on the first floor, the strength of the contestants will be judged based on the outcome. Please try to use your strength within 3 minutes."

"Then... let's start!"

The giant man known as Montell squeezed the knuckles of his fingers to make a muffled sound: "Boy, don't blame me for taking a heavy shot, go to the hospital and lie down for two months!"

The whole person is like an angry male rhinoceros rushing towards Heather with his head bowed, and the arena is constantly smashed with loud noises by heavy footsteps, very good, just KO this four-eyed little monkey with such a punch!

He punched Heather, but before he could be proud, he realized that there was no actual touch on his fist, he just hit Heather's afterimage.Then Montell's stomach first went numb, and as his vision blurred and he quickly retreated, he realized that he was flying.

The clamor in the stands stopped abruptly like a hen being strangled by the neck.

From the perspective of the referees and spectators, a burly man with a height of more than two meters was smashed from the ring to a height of several meters, and smashed into a solid wall dozens of meters away like a cannonball. This visual impact is really too much.

"Don't worry, he's still alive."

Heather looked at the sluggish referee, hehe smiled, is this a fried fish?

"No. 2415, you can go directly to the [-]th floor."

Facing Heather's intentional [intention] at this time, the referee didn't notice it at all. He just took the instrument in his hand and typed out a ticket and handed it to Heather: "Please keep going."

That's right, how could the referee who can see Nian go down to the first floor to watch the chickens peck each other?Heather, who felt like she was winking at the blind man, took the ticket with her number and floor on it.

"This way, please."

Another beautiful waitress, Sky Arena understands it very well.Heather followed the lively waitress to the elevator, and her ears were full of pleasant chatter:

"In the sky arena, up to the 60th floor, the 40th floor is the first level. That is to say, if you win at the [-]th floor, you can be promoted to the No.[-] floor. If you lose, you will be downgraded to the No.[-] floor. There are even private rooms after the hundredth floor.”

After finally getting rid of the lively waitress, Heather took the elevator to the No.60 floor.

The atmosphere here is completely different from the first floor. There are fewer players, but everyone is a well-trained player.

Find the reception window and show the ticket, and the bonus you get is only a pitiful 152 rennies.

"That's enough to buy a can of juice."

Heather reluctantly stuffed the coins into his pocket and said to the waiter, "Please arrange the next game for me as soon as possible."

"Huh? Don't you need a break for this player?" The waiter was a little surprised. Didn't this person just rise from the lower floor?Must be very tired.

"No need at all, please help me arrange it."

"Okay, please wait... Then please use this ticket to go to the players' lounge."

There are only a few rows of lockers and benches in the simple lounge, and the room is full of contestants.As soon as Heather came in, he received the attention of many players. Everyone was wondering how this thin four-eyed frog was put in the tier, did he bribe the referee?

"Mr. Tuomasui, Mr. Longsimian, please go to Arena A on the 55th floor."

"Mr. Mario, Ms. Bowser, please go to Ring B on the 57th floor."

Huh?Did you hear a strange name just now?Heather sat bored and waited in the lounge, and it seemed that there were different arenas scattered among the ten floors for the players to fight.

About 10 minutes later, Heather heard her name on the radio.

"Mr. Dacardo, Mr. Heather, please go to Arena C on the 59th floor."

Arena C on the 59th floor is different from the first floor. The auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people has already been filled, and the lights are shining on the only arena in the center. The two sides that are about to fight are waiting for the referee to give orders.
