The 8th Apprentice Town Underground Market, the first floor of the Sky Tower.
The three Angels came to the underground market, and the first place they went was the Sky Tower. Both Angel and Nausicaa were interested in participating in the competition, and they came here to feel the atmosphere of the Sky Tower up close and what kind of competitive opponents they were about to face.
The sky tower has a total of fifteen floors, and each floor has a limited score. Once the score exceeds the limit, you can apply for promotion to the next floor. Of course, it is also possible not to advance, but if you choose not to advance, even if you defeat your opponent, the contribution point reward you can get is minimal. This is a protection mechanism for the contestants in the Sky Tower Arena.
The interior of the sky tower is painted with a magic pattern that expands the space, so the field on each floor is very wide. There are ten arenas on the first floor, all of which are 4ox4o (unit: meter), and there are auditoriums next to all the arenas.
Because the auditorium on the first floor is free of charge, almost every arena is surrounded by spectators, and most of them are ordinary people. They are basically the bottom people who work in the underground market and have no entertainment on weekdays. , the Sky Tower is their only form of entertainment.
"On the first floor, there are more people. The seats on the higher floors are all tickets. Those ordinary people don't have magic crystals, so they can't go upstairs to watch the battle. So the upstairs is relatively deserted, but starting from the 13th floor On the 15th floor, there are more audiences, and these audiences are basically wizard apprentices." After Sairum was promoted to wizard apprentice, in the past few months, he had also visited the Sky Tower with curiosity, so he knew it well.
"Let's not think about what's going on upstairs first, let's look at the level of the players on the first floor." When Angel finished, the three of them searched for the arena with fewer people and sat in the auditorium.
The competition has not yet started, and the contestants have not played, and the three of them chatted casually. After chatting for a while, a rickety old man with a box on his back walked up to them.
The old man was a mortal, and when Angel was still thinking about why this man stood in front of them, he saw Sairum take out a silver coin from a kindness, and bought a few cups of juice from the box carried by the old man, as well as fried golden dough.
Angel: "..." It turned out to be selling groceries.
"These mortals are also quite economical. A silver coin in other places is enough for ordinary people to live for a month. They only need to sell some drinks here to make money." Sairum handed the juice and fried dough to the The two of them recalled the hardships of living in the Principality of Versailles in the past.
Angel took a bite of the fried dough, and he was very satisfied with the soft texture and the slight milk flavor.
"Is it delicious? I knew you liked it." Seeing the "happy" expression on Angel's face, Sairum immediately raised his face to ask for credit.
Angel was about to answer when he heard Nausicaa's words—
"The milky taste is too heavy, which is more suitable for your children's tastes. I actually prefer something more salty." Nausicaa took a bite and put it aside.
After listening to Angel, his expression froze: "The taste is average, my taste is actually a bit similar to Nausicaa."
The three ate and drank, waiting for the competition to start.
It didn't take long for each player to walk out of the channel on both sides. Both wore large burqas that covered their faces and figures.
At this time, Angel was right above the arena with a large glass transparent frame hanging. He didn't pay attention at first, but when both contestants came on stage, he was surprised to find that a countdown was flashing in the transparent frame. As well as the names and avatars of the contestants on both sides.
"Countdown 3:39"
"King of Beasts vs Immortal Ice Emperor"
Angel was still surprised. This transparent frame is already similar to a holographic tablet to a certain extent. Sky Machine City is worthy of being a holy place for mechanical alchemy, and any alchemy product can see the background; but he hasn't finished his emotion yet. When I saw the names of both sides, I couldn't help but spit out the drink I just drank.
- Fortunately, there is no one in the front seat of him.
"What the hell is this?! The King of All Beasts, the Immortal Ice Emperor, why is his name so big?" Angel was stunned. Could it be that he entered the wrong arena and accidentally crossed into the training ground of the legendary wizard
At this time, the two people on the arena threw out the burqas on their bodies in a very middle-class posture, revealing their true faces.
The King of All Beasts is a dark man with a huge bow and arrow on his back, colorful totems on his face, colorful feathers on his head, and only a tiger-skin skirt around him. His dress is a bit like the original Hook Dick, the appearance of the primitive aboriginal, but the colorful totem on his face and the colorful headband make him more exaggerated than Hook Dick.
The Immortal Ice Emperor is also a male. And in order to highlight the name of "ice", his clothes are all snow-white, and all kinds of exquisite accessories are hung. The most important thing is that his head is also white.
However, from the middle of its scattered hair strands, dark roots can be faintly seen. Needless to say, his whiteness must have been dyed.
"With such an exaggerated dress and such a big name, your strength should be pretty good, right?" Angel pondered.
At this time, the countdown becomes o.
The two began to move in an instant, and the Immortal Ice Emperor shouted: "Ice and snow!"
When the voice fell, he stood still, as if building a spell model in his mind. Three seconds later, within a range of two or three meters in front of him, white frost marks appeared on the ground.
The King of All Beasts also showed no signs of weakness, turned a somersault on the spot, and in the eyes of everyone who was puzzled, he put one hand on the ground and raised his head.
"Come out, my king!"
After a while, a faint smoke burst from the king of beasts, and then a pure white kitten came out of the smoke.
"Come on, King! Go and break his ice and snow!" The King of All Beasts waved his hand, full of momentum, as if thousands of soldiers and horses under his command were about to charge into battle.
The pure white kitten cooperated very well and opened his mouth: "Meow-"
Whispering, crisp, shy and timid cry.
Angel and the three: "..."
After a while, Sairum twitched the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't seem to be reliable. Shall we go to other arenas?"
Nausicaa raised her eyebrows: "Actually, this cat is quite cute."
Angel: "When did Frost Fall changed its name to Frost and Snow?" Frost Fall is an O-level trick, and its effect is similar to that of "Grease". It summons a small area of Frost Fall and hinders others from moving forward. Two similar low-level tricks, most wizard apprentices choose the greasy technique, because the greasy technique can at least ignite and cause burning damage.
The three of them complained in their hearts, but the ordinary people onlookers applauded, and some shouted in cooperation: "Go, King, tear up the arrogant Ice Emperor, and pull him down to the supreme throne!"
Shameful words, no one objected, but the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
"We flash people?" Sairum asked again.
"Whatever. With the strength of these two people, I can defeat them with fists and feet alone, without using weapons." Nausicaa rubbed the soft sword on her waist.
Sairum looked at Angel, but Angel shook his head: "Wait first." Then he continued to focus on the arena.
At this time, the white kitten had already broken through the range of the "ice and snow", the Immortal Ice Emperor snorted coldly, and after chanting for a while, a slow ice blade came through the air.
The white kitten's speed is very fast, dodging and dodging the ice blade. At this time, the Immortal Ice Emperor suddenly came out, and the white kitten couldn't turn around in mid-air. The Ice Emperor slammed down, and the kitten landed in the "ice and snow" and kept wailing.
"Ah! My King!" The King of All Beasts sighed in an almost aria voice and rushed to the side of the white kitten. He picked up the kitten tenderly, with a distressed look on his face.
The audience was also infected by this scene, and some people quietly wiped their tears.
The King of All Beasts burst into tears: "I admit defeat, the strength of the Immortal Ice Emperor is indeed extraordinary."
The Immortal Ice Emperor snorted, "You are acquainted." Then he turned to leave with his head held high.
The hanging glass screen also displayed a line of words in a timely manner: "Immortal Ice Emperor, Victory!"
Angel and the three: "..."
Angel: "I regret it, let's go."
Sairum covered his face with his hands: "Let's go quickly, I feel ashamed to stay here. Fortunately, no one knows us."
…
The three of them changed several arenas to watch on the first floor of the Sky Tower.
There are "Magic King vs Demon Dragon Flame", "Undefeated King vs Thunder God", "Eternal Magi vs Little Juggernaut"...
Angel found that the names of these apprentices were shocking, but their abilities seemed to be at the level of ordinary first-level apprentices, and even some ordinary people who had practiced martial arts could beat them.
"I think we entered a fake Sky Tower." Sairum said silently after watching these games.
"Last time I came to watch the competition, the contestants didn't seem to be so good. Why did the level suddenly drop so much?" Nausicaa wondered.
Angel: "Have you forgotten, Magic Island."
Angel's reminder made them suddenly realize. This time, most of the wizard apprentices went to the Magic Island to hit the chance, so only the leftover crooked melons and cracked dates were left in the sky tower.
Moreover, the incident on the Magic Island has also led to the fall of hundreds of elite apprentices. It is estimated that in a short period of time, the contestants of the Sky Tower are all such wild seedlings.
Thinking of this, Nausicaa's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think this is an opportunity,"
"Opportunity?" Sairum looked over and saw Nausicaa's eagerness, and said in surprise, "Miss Nausicaa, do you want to..."
Nausicaa nodded: "Yes, I want to go to the tower now! I think I can try to dash for a few days. As much as I can dash, it will save the cost of the magic weave scroll." She originally planned to spend money to make way, but now that there is such a great opportunity, how could she not want to take advantage of it.
Angel also agreed with this: "I think it's pretty good. With Nausicaa's combat power, at least there is no opponent on the first floor."
Therefore, they did not want to continue to watch the battle, but accompanied Nausicaa to the management office of the Sky Tower on the first floor. Ask the administrator to register Nausicaa.
