In the city of Salin, the issuance of currency was the latest, and now there are banks, but the large amount of Qin Yin currency is the main carrier of transactions. Www!QuanBen-XiaoShuo!com
Saleen opened the arena and had done a lot of publicity, and the price of the ticket was finally set at twenty-five copper coins.
The price is still a bit high, but it is within the reach of ordinary people. For the people at the lowest level, one copper coin can provide them with a full meal, which is usually half a piece of black bread and a bowl of corn paste. Qin Yin's prices are extremely low, so this kind of black bread actually contains a lot of stuff used to feed livestock. For ordinary civilians, every meal costs ten copper coins.
Twenty-five copper coins is almost the food expenses for an adult for a day. For poor people, it is unrealistic to spend a day's meal money to watch a game. However, there are tickets for Salin's Arena, and the magic numbers on these tickets can be used for betting. Twenty-five copper coins are not only a ticket, but also a lottery ticket for gambling.
One ticket can watch fifteen shows. If you guess correctly in each show, you will earn one hundred gold coins. If you guess fourteen times correctly, you will get ten gold coins; if you guess thirteen times correctly, you will get one gold coin.
One gold coin is equivalent to a thousand copper coins. In comparison, you will find that the investment in this ticket is very small. Once you win it once. Even if you only guess thirteen games correctly, you will have paid for forty games.
In fact, it is extremely difficult to guess thirteen games correctly, but no one except the magician understands how difficult it is. What ordinary people can calculate is only the multiple between one hundred gold coins and twenty-five copper coins. That's four thousand times. Four thousand times the profit can easily destroy the minds of ordinary people.
For the first opening match of the arena, tickets only cost one copper coin. Everyone only needs to guess the top three correctly to earn one silver coin. The city lord said that this is to let everyone understand the rules. Be familiar with betting methods. When the arena is fully operational, the city owner will provide corresponding information for the sixteen people in the weekly finals, allowing everyone to judge who will win.
Sixteen people are the winners in the small arena every week. The small arena also accepts bets, but the prize size is half smaller.
The opening match will not be held in the small arena, but will be held directly in the large arena, and the city lord will personally host it.
All the tickets were sold out, which was actually not enough money for Salin to spend on publicity. Fifty thousand copper coins are only equivalent to fifty gold coins, and Salin is losing money to earn money.
The nobles now also feel that the arena will be profitable, but Saleen has just distributed the profits from the mines and magic cores to them, so these nobles have not tried to get a share of the pie here. In the blink of an eye, July began, and the first competition began on July 1st at the Salin Arena.
The arena that can accommodate more than 50,000 people is named Metatrin Center Arena. The arena has twenty-four passages. The center of the arena is a huge open space of 600 by 600 meters. Zhuang is a stone ground surrounded by uneven land, sand, and several deep pits filled with water.
The surrounding stands are in the shape of stairs. All of them were designed by Elena and are very spectacular. The oval-shaped arena is thirty meters high on the outside, like a small closed city. Hundreds of metal pillars, strangely curved to form complex geometric shapes, stretched toward the center of the arena.
Above the stands, colored glass is laid on metal supports to form a semi-enclosed ceiling. Even in heavy rain, spectators can watch the game under the roof.
In the north of the arena, there is a raised platform. The platform is designed in Yunliu style, simple and elegant. Semi-enclosed seats were also spread out on both sides of the high platform. There were seats for nobles, which could be distinguished from civilians and allow them to watch the game closer.
In fact, even civilians will not be able to see clearly because of the distance. Those semi-enclosed ceiling metal brackets are designed with projection magic arrays that can magnify the game scenes on the ground and form virtual images in the air. Eleanor even designed a magic circle for sound amplification, so that every audience can clearly hear the fierce sounds erupting in the battle.
After Salin saw Elinor's design, he felt that he had sold the tickets too cheaply. For twenty-five coppers, you could enjoy the magician's masterpiece. This was not only a matter of making less money, but also a matter of concern. The value of a magician.
Fortunately, the opening game only charges a symbolic copper coin, and Eleanor suggested selling different levels of tickets according to different seats. The tickets for the noble seats cost twenty-five gold coins, and the location where you can best appreciate the magical image was also worth one silver coin, and twenty-five copper coins, which were targeted at civilians. Nobles would make private bets among themselves that these twenty-five gold coins were nothing to them.
I don’t know where Elinor’s many fantastic ideas came from, and with Nanida, a knowledgeable mage, helping me, the construction of the arena was smooth sailing. By the time Salin came to see it, it was already here. It has become a prosperous place in Beicheng.
There are many nobles in the North City, including soldiers of the holy nobles, and some professionals, who live here, hoping to win the favor of the nobles. Instead, all the troops are in the East City. There are many shops in the East City and there are many merchants who need troops.
There are still people in Beicheng, who are craftsmen. There are many equipment stores here, which only retail, unlike Dongcheng, which basically sells to outsiders. Generally speaking, there are no poor people in Beicheng, and those craftsmen can hardly save hundreds of gold coins in a year.
Not to mention a copper coin for a ticket, Salin is only a gold coin, and everyone in Beicheng can eat it. However, Salin is engaged in long-term business and cannot do it just this time. He would rather target everyone.
Salin was invited to the high platform. There were only eighteen seats on this high platform, and each seat could accommodate two people. These eighteen seats are for twelve Botuns, four dukes, as well as Salin and Daniel.
Salin and Daniel will only come today, and they may not have much time to watch the competition in person in the future.
Polo games in Qin are very popular and there will be huge arenas. However, those arenas are not as luxurious as Salin's, and the number of people watching the games is usually one or two thousand. The arena with 50,000 people is noisy. If the noble seats were not designed by magicians, everyone might not be able to communicate with each other.
There are several magic arrays on Salin's large desk, but the one in the middle is a sound transmission magic array. The control distance of a magic circle generally consumes more magic cores as it is farther away. However, none of these magic circles are offensive magic, they are all auxiliary low-level magic, and their range of action is all within the arena.
Mao Lin hardly needs to consider the number of magic cores consumed by these magic arrays, and they consume low-level magic. If Salin inserts a handful of intermediate magic cores, he basically won't need to replace them for two or three months.
Sika didn't come today. The person sitting next to Salin was Elena. She designed many things. It was up to her to tell Salin what to do best.
As the actual manager of Metatrin City, Daniel sat next to Nicholas. He and Salin sat in the center of the noble seat, with a row of curved chairs behind them. The people sitting there were all close associates of Salin. Nailis did not sit, but stood beside Salin. Behind her, next to her, three demons followed her, serving Salin and Elinor together.
The four dukes are very close to each other, and the distance between the uncles is much further to both sides. However, these high platforms are all connected, and it is very convenient to communicate with each other. Because the time had not yet come, Salin started communicating with the people around him.
Eleanor explained the taxi instructions to Salin carefully, including some small shops set up in the arena to sell food and water. There are also two hundred toilets and thousands of sentry positions throughout the arena.
The high platform where Saleen is located is the center for controlling magic. Under the high platform is a magic alchemy room that truly controls the arena. Working inside are dozens of magic apprentices.
Salin listened very carefully and found that there were no calculated omissions in what Elinor said. When Elinor was designing, he even considered how to evacuate the 50,000 spectators in case of a fire. At fourteen o'clock in the afternoon, a deep voice sounded and could be heard throughout the arena.
"Residents of Metatrin City, everyone is paying attention. Everyone is paying attention. The first Metatlin Athletic Competition is about to begin. Let's listen to the Lord of Metatlin City, His Highness Salin, tell us. a few words!"
There was silence in the arena, which was a habitual submission of common people to nobles. You can say it is awe, you can also say it is respect. In particular, the one who was about to speak was the Lord of Metatrin City.
Salin already had Ju Yu, he opened the sound transmission magic circle and started a short speech for the first time in his life.
"My people..." The beginning of Salin's words was designed by Elena. He paused for a moment and said: "Hello, I, Salin 7 Metatrin, am the leader of this city and this country. Master, there is only one reason for creating competitive games, a thing that is unfamiliar to everyone. I need capable talents."
The silence in the arena was terrifying. In fact, the viewing area of the entire arena was divided into twenty-four. Once the magic array under the console was opened, no one could hear each other's voice.
"The Holy See is attacking. Until now, there are hundreds of warriors receiving treatment in the hospital I founded. They will either survive or die in the Holy See's expedition. The Metatlin people will not surrender, we will There will be more warriors and more magicians to resist the arrogance, prejudice, cruelty, and absurdity of the gods. So, I need you!"
"Here, I tell you that the entire Garulan has fallen, but Metatrin City will always stand on this land and will never surrender. We will attack and attack the Glorious Plains. Salin Before he could finish his words, people suddenly cheered from somewhere in the area. "Long live Metatrin!" Long live! "Never give in!" "
The sound resounded through the sky, and even Salin's sound transmission magic circle couldn't suppress it. F! ~!
