Views:

"Come on, come on! Buy, buy, buy, buy!" Regnar shouted to a few people around him: "Will the battle be over in a few minutes? The person with the closest guess wins!"

"I'll buy five minutes." Kordak threw a gold coin to Regnar.

"Scared?!" A stranger sitting next to Kordak screamed in surprise. He said to Kordak: "That beautiful girl is a mage, and she is a mage of the Palace Mage Association! Even if Nigrila has the experience of leapfrogging and killing high-level warriors, he won't be that strong, right? Huh, I think this battle will definitely be very stalemate, and that mage may not be able to defeat Nigrila. As for Nigrila finishing her in five minutes? You are definitely kidding!"

"..." Kordak looked at the stranger helplessly, then patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you are completely mistaken."

"But it doesn't matter!" Regnar said quickly; "Sir, do you want to guess too? It's just one gold coin, no more, no less."

The man thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll buy it too!"

He took out a gold coin from his arms and threw it to Regnar: "I'll buy it for thirty minutes. I feel that the two of them are absolutely evenly matched."

With this person taking the lead, many spectators around Regna and the others came to join in the fun. This is the center front row of the arena auditorium. Basically, a ticket costs ten gold coins. Although the people who can sit here are not aristocratic and wealthy, they can still afford to gamble with one or two gold coins.

Therefore, many people were very interested in Regnar's temporary gambling. They took out a gold coin and told the time they guessed.

"Okay, okay." Regnar waved his hand: "It's just for fun anyway. I'm sure everyone won't refuse to pay for it just to win these dozen gold coins. Let's just put the money here. Whose guess will be the best later?" If he gets close, just tell him, and I'll just give him the gold coins."

A group of people around also agreed that they participated in this gamble out of boredom while waiting and just spent a gold coin to have some fun. As for who wins later, they don't really care. People who can sit here won't break the rules of the game just for a dozen gold coins.

Regnar also took out a gold coin from his pocket, then he raised his head and said, "I'll buy it too, I'll buy it..."

Regnar glanced at the people around him, then smiled and said, "I'll buy it for a minute."

"Wow!" People around him exclaimed slightly. They mistakenly thought that Regnar expected Nigrila to defeat Annelotte within a minute, so they all made dissatisfied retorts. After all, they are all men. It is rare to see such a beautiful girl with such temperament and appearance today, and they all love her very much. And the boy in front of him was so unfavorable to the girl, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

Regna smiled slightly and didn't explain anything.

"Hey, are you overestimating Annie too much?" Kordak leaned into Regnar's ear and whispered: "Annie is indeed very strong, but I think she won't be able to use her attributes in this kind of competition. , to resolve the battle within one minute? I think it’s a bit unrealistic.”

"Absolutely." Regnar was full of confidence: "I can see that Annie seems to have made a breakthrough recently. She should be at level 14 now. With her strength, if she doesn't use attribute abilities, I won't be sure. Better than her, let alone that Nigrila. Humph, killing a high-level warrior by leapfrogging? I'm afraid he took advantage of the chaos and missed it. He is stronger if he is stronger, but compared to Annie, he is definitely Two levels. Within one minute, Annie can definitely solve the battle!"

Kordak looked at Regner with a complicated expression, and then looked at Annelotte. At the beginning, he was Regnar's boss. Not only was his mind more flexible than him, but his strength was also much higher than him.

But in just two or three years, Regnar's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. To Kordak, Nigrila was a strong opponent, but in the eyes of Regner and Annelotte, a person with his level of strength was nothing more than a piece of cake. This huge gap has existed for a long time, but it was not until today that Kordak felt it deeply.

Regnar didn't know the complicated thoughts in Kordak's mind. He turned to Eileen and said, "Irene, do you want to take a gamble?"

The half-elf girl smiled and shook her head: "Let's forget it. I'm not very familiar with either Miss Anne or that Nigrila, so it's not easy for me to make any conclusions."

"Just have fun guessing." Regnar said with a smile.

"No." Erin still shook her head.

"I want to bet!" Inelise shouted. She took out the one gold coin pocket money Regnar gave her from her little pocket and waved it: "I want to bet that Sister Anne will defeat that bad guy within half a minute. !”

"Why shouldn't children learn to imitate other people's gambling?!" Regnar said with a frown.

"No!" Inelis pouted and said, "I also have an allowance of one gold coin, so why can't I gamble? And I'm not a child!"

"No, no, you only have this gold coin. If you lose, you won't have money to buy desserts!" Regnar still shook his head.

"I won't lose. Sister Anne is much stronger than that guy!" Inelise said as she climbed on top of Regnar. Looking at the posture, if Regnar didn't agree, she would ride on Regnar. On the neck.

"Ah, don't make trouble, don't make trouble." Regnar suddenly couldn't resist, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll let you bet, I'll let you bet."

"That's pretty much it." Inelise carefully placed her only gold coin in Regnar's hand: "Half a minute, just remember it."

"Tch, isn't it a bit too overestimating of Anne?" Regnar rolled his eyes. He had been with Annelotte for three years and thought he knew her strength very well. But one thing he forgot was that Annelotte rarely used all her abilities when she was with them. In fact, Regna didn't really know how strong she was.

But Inelise was different. She once saw Annelotte alone challenging the mid-level mages of the Eye of Arcana Law Enforcement Team one after another. That kind of invincible momentum left a very deep impression on the little girl's heart, so in her opinion, it was good that the bad guy who faced Sister Anne could be in her hands for half a minute.

"Okay, okay, do you know that the purchase is final?" Regnar slapped away the little hand of Inelise who was still reluctantly touching the gold coins. He turned to look at the arena, and then said slightly excitedly: " Oh, it’s begun!”

The host finally introduced the basic information of both sides in a lengthy manner, and then announced the start of the game amidst the impatient cries of the audience.

Nigrila opened up his formation, then gradually disappeared and entered a stealth state. Although he was full of confidence in this battle, his opponent was an intermediate mage of the same level and a member of the Palace Mage Association, so he had to be careful. Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing if we lose the game here.

Annelotte watched indifferently as her opponent entered the stealth state, but she didn't feel the slightest sense of nervousness. According to the rules of the game, she could attack at the beginning of the game to prevent her opponent from entering stealth, but she was too lazy to do so. In the end, she did not choose to completely destroy the assassin. She decided to crush this opponent with absolute strength, with the ultimate goal of destroying this guy's inexplicable self-confidence and sense of superiority. Therefore, she had to make this Nigrila feel powerless and convinced after losing.

Annelotte threw a piece of glitter dust casually, but it was obvious that the alert Nigrila would not be swept away by such a simple spell.

Ten seconds had passed, and there was no outline of Nigrila within Annelotte's flash dust range.

"What a great opportunity!" Nigrila knew that a mage would usually turn his attention to the effect of his own spell after casting a spell, so naturally he would not let this opportunity go. The assassin quickly approached Annelotte with his dagger, and then broke his stealth when he was three meters away from her. His speed exploded in an instant.

But something shocking happened to him. Annelotte sensed his position the moment he broke his stealth. The Frost Girl turned her head and looked at Nigrila coldly. Suddenly, Nigrila felt that the girl, who had always been cold and expressionless, seemed to curl her lips and reveal a mocking smile.

The next moment, her figure disappeared from Nigrila. Nigrila stopped in his steps in astonishment, and then he felt a trembling cold breath coming from behind him.

A dazzling blue light shot towards Nigrila. It was extremely cold and was so fast that no one could dodge it!

The first thing that came into contact with this magical light was Nigrila's left shoulder. Then, a thin layer of light blue ice began to spread from that part to Nigrila's whole body. In just two or three seconds, Nigrila was completely frozen into an ice sculpture. His eyes stared blankly at Annelotte, filled with shock and fear.

Annelotte looked at Nigrila, and then raised the staff in her hand.

Just when everyone thought that Annelotte would use a spell to end the game, Annelotte raised her staff high, and then she let out a slight scream, but she swung the stick in her hand. He stood up and hit Nigrila directly on the head.

The ice all over Nigrila's body shattered instantly, and then the poor assassin flew out directly under the huge power of the staff. You know, although Annelotte looks delicate and frail, her physical strength and strength are comparable to those of a second- or third-level warrior. Being hit on the head with a stick by such force, Nigrila immediately fell to the ground and twitched for two seconds. fell, and then passed out. And only ten seconds have passed since the host announced the start of the competition!
