They don't want me to work harder

at the same time.

Outside in the arena.

After the competition officially started, the scrolls were connected end to end to form a ring and slowly rotated in the air of the arena, allowing spectators at any position to have a chance to see the whole scene.

Although the competition had only started for half an hour, the audience had already seen several battles between players. Relatively speaking, the battle between Richard's team surprised them the most.

"Miss Catherine won so neatly! If I remember correctly, the psion opposite is the famous adventurer, right? I originally thought I would be the runner-up, but I didn't expect that I lost within half an hour..."

"What's so strange? It's so normal for Toli's granddaughter to win! But that Sofia's ice spell really scares me. Just blowing on it..."

"Speaking of which, Richard's performance is just mediocre, right?"

"Just don't open your mouth if you don't understand! That Richard should not be underestimated. You know, he is obviously a summoner, but with the sword skills he just displayed, I believe he is a swordsman!"

When Zoe heard people around her praising Richard, she couldn't help but swayed on her feet in her seat, and her twin ponytails were also raised.

In the picture scroll.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the dwarves, the three members of the team finally saw the huge stone city built on the mountain, as well as the orc military camp looming in the woods ten miles away.

Now is the gap period between the two attacks, and the two sides have not played.

The dwarf led the team into the city through the back door. After passing heavy guards, they came to a hall.

As soon as he entered, Richard saw that Catherine was alert.

"William..."

William?The mage leader of the Highland Legion?

Richard held the hilt of the sword with one hand and looked towards the front of the hall, where there was a man in white robe with bare feet admiring the mural.

There is only one person, and my teammates are not here...

The latter turned his head, relaxed his posture, and smiled without any intention of fighting:

"Don't be nervous, Catherine, this is not a place for fighting... you will be besieged by dwarves."

Richard looked out of the corner of his eye and found that there were indeed many guards around the hall, and their strength was at least bronze. This number combined would definitely be enough to drown a few silver guards.

In addition, other teams were brought into the hall one after another. They also saw William, Richard and others. They all also chose to avoid conflicts and pretended to be mercenaries with harmonious relationships.

Of course, secretly, everyone is still wary of each other.

What if someone is bold enough to take this opportunity to poison or plant a curse?We can’t help but be on guard!

Richard was looking at it when he suddenly trembled and felt that William's eyes had passed over Catherine and rested on him.

what!

What are you doing?

You are not a pretty girl, don’t look at me!

In the weird atmosphere, time passed quickly.

Under the protection of a group of silver-level dwarves, a bearded dwarf with a crown on his head and a belly about the same height as his height appeared in front of everyone.

"Welcome everyone!"

That's right, he is the dwarf king in this competition.

He clapped his hands and asked the servants to bring countless delicious food and wine. After a few polite words, he got down to business.

"Those damn beasts are coming to take away my beloved daughter..."

Following the dwarf king's fingers, Li looked at a female dwarf with a bulging belly and a beard that covered the floor.

Hmm...Type 94 bean tank?

No disrespect intended, but are you sure the orcs want to steal this?

Well, judging from the aesthetics of the orcs, it may not be impossible, but taking it back may also be used as a war totem...

Richard curled his lips, suspecting that the dialogue here had been deliberately altered by empire staff to make it more entertaining.

If I were the descendant of this dwarf king in reality, I would definitely complain!

"...No matter what, we must repel the orcs' attack!"

The dwarf king swept across the human players in the field and said proudly: "Once you win, each of you can take away a treasure from my treasure house. As long as your hands can hold it, you can take as much as you want!"

As he spoke, a dwarf attendant beside him raised a painting, which showed an endless cave filled with countless gold coins.

Richard squinted his eyes and saw a familiar trophy inside...

Everyone saw it.

"Is it in the dwarf king's treasure house? Then as long as..."

While everyone was whispering, someone suddenly asked: "Is the treasure house underground in the main city?"

This question seemed to have ulterior motives, but the dwarf king still answered honestly: "No, the treasure house is under the mine in the south, and it is now occupied by dirty orcs. But it doesn't matter, the treasure house is hidden under the mountain walls with our unique magic. , without the key, the orcs can't get in at all! So as long as you fight bravely, we can get the treasure back together..."

Many people didn’t listen carefully to the rest of the story.

Everyone noticed that there was a brass key hanging quietly on the chest of the dwarf king.

In other words, if you grab this key and open the door in the orc mine, you can find the trophy?

After the dwarf king finished speaking, the contestants gathered together in the hall, pretending to have a banquet, but actually discussing the next step.

Richard walked to the corner, used soundproofing, and said to his companions:

"Now everyone will want to snatch the key around the dwarf king's neck...but those guards are not easy to mess with. Unless they steal, I don't think anyone will try it in the city."

"Stealing is difficult. After all, if some people feel that they cannot succeed, they will want to prevent others from succeeding. They will take the initiative to protect the Dwarf King."

Sophia added: "I feel that unless all players can be forcibly overwhelmed, no one will be able to get the key in a short time... Maybe the dwarf king will personally go to the battlefield soon. At that time, the situation will be chaotic and opportunities may arise."

Catherine stared directly at William.

That guy was so leisurely and leisurely that he didn't seem to be here to participate in the competition at all.

Catherine said: "I don't think other teams will have a chance with him here. Although he is alone, he must have other plans when he is separated from his teammates..."

After deliberation, they made a decision.

Sophia and Catherine are still staying with the Dwarf King for the time being. On the one hand, they are watching the movement of the key and looking for opportunities before considering fighting for it. On the other hand, they are also watching William himself.

The biggest opponent is here, there is nothing wrong with following him closely.

Richard, on the other hand, was roaming freely nearby, out of William's sight, taking advantage of the large number of summoned objects and their relative concealment to collect more information. If possible, he would go directly to the orcs and wander around.

The decision made, Richard stood up and left.

Not only him, but the other teams also took action. For a time, the entire Stone City was filled with humans fighting openly and secretly.

As soon as Richard secretly released two crows at the window, he noticed at least five people staring at him in the dark.

After a second thought, he understood - in Catherine's eyes, William was someone who must be wary of, but in the eyes of others, he was also a formidable opponent.

Maybe there is a team that wants to cooperate and take advantage of the numerical advantage to kill them first - the winning bronze-level players in previous competitions succeeded by uniting the majority!

Ha ha……

Think beautifully.

Richard secretly prepared the Thorn of Gloom, and then prepared to use the summon card's vision to disappear around the next corner.

But at this time, he heard someone calling him.

"Mr. Richard, wait a moment, I don't mean any harm."

Looking back, he saw a young mage in his twenties who was elegantly dressed and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His strength was also in the first stage of Silver. He stretched out his hand towards him and said with a smile:

"I have been entrusted with a message that I would like to convey to you, regarding... the two ferries in Connaught."

Richard narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 96 Give up, you are my woman before and after

"...Mr. Richard, if you don't want the innocent civilians on the two ferries to be buried in the belly of the fish, please behave more lazily in the next game... It's not difficult, isn't it?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses slowly told a despicable threat in an elegant tone.

Since the scroll did not broadcast sound, he was not worried about his words being heard by the outside audience.

Therefore, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised at the moment, feeling confident and expecting a look of shock and confusion on Richard's face.

The genius of Saint Goethe, the hero of Nyon... This kind of glory should not be touched by you, a Connaught man!Becoming comrades-in-arms with Lady Luvia and Miss Catherine... Damn it, I don't even have such a chance...

However, after a long time passed, he saw that Richard's expression remained normal.

He was a little impatient and said with a evil smile: "What? Your Highness, the Prince of Connaught, still hesitates to save the lives of his subjects? This can't be called..."

boom!

Deliberately punch!

Richard responded in the most direct physical way.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses flew several meters and fell to the rough stone floor with a thud. Half of his face was scratched.

Nearby, the guard dwarf came over and asked, "Why are you fighting among yourself?"

Richard clapped his hands: "This guy owes me a lot of money. Don't worry. I only intend to disfigure him, not to kill him. He will still be able to fight in a while."

"Is that so..."

"Yeah, that's it. By the way, I heard that His Majesty the King over in the hall is going to invite everyone to drink the fine wine in his collection. Why don't you rush over and have a look?"

"Ah, you can't miss this!"

With the help of many characteristics, the dwarf patrol left in a daze without questioning or stopping.

This corridor was already secluded, but now only human players were there.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at this scene in surprise.

Are the guards of the Dwarf King so irresponsible!

Are you worthy of your wages?

damn...
