With eight days to go before the new year, finally, the registration for the world's first martial arts contest was announced.
It's two and a half months since the announcement of Guangfa. I have to say that the time is shorter. For example, in some remote areas of the mainland, even if we get the news of this kind of competition, the news comes back and forth, and the warriors from those remote areas have to rush to the imperial capital to take part in the competition. I'm afraid it will take nearly two months.
As a result, a few days after the announcement of the registration deadline, there were still all kinds of warriors coming from other places. They were indignant because they missed the registration time. They demonstrated around the headquarters of the Knights' Association and called for duvico to ignore them and directly let the soldiers of the public security department drag these guys away.
By the end of the last day, more than 4100 people had signed up for the world's first martial arts contest. Unfortunately... When it comes to the real preliminaries, there are less than 600 people coming to participate in the competition... All of these more than 600 people are disqualified because of "off-site factors".
Some of them were killed or injured in fights during their stay in the imperial capital. Some of them were held in prison by the public security department. Some of them saw that the imperial capital was full of experts and thought they were not good enough, so they simply left quietly to avoid making a fool of themselves in public.
But duvier doesn't care, and Deron doesn't care. Anyway, he has made a lot of windfall. So many successive issues of "saijing" have brought nearly ten thousand gold coins to Delong's net income, and each issue of saijing is in short supply as soon as it goes on the market. It keeps printing and printing again and again, which makes Delong's fingers cramp when he counts money.
In the past two months or so, Dewey has already asked people to renovate the huge square in the headquarters of the Knights' Association. In the middle of the square, there is a one meter high round arena, about half the size of a football field.
And there are three stories around. It was also urgently built into a "grandstand" designed by Dewey. Although it was a little crude, it was just to tear down a wall facing the challenge arena and install railings. However, after careful separation, there are 116 VIP boxes on the third floor. Du Wei announced the sale of this kind of box according to the "package ticket" mode. Those who buy this kind of box package ticket can see the final from the preliminary round all the time.
At the same time, it was announced on the first day that the best two boxes had been given to the royal family and the church respectively. It is also said that his Royal Highness The Regent and His Holiness the Pope will attend the competition. Once this kind of news is released, more than 100 boxes in the remaining area are immediately seized by the aristocrats of the imperial capital. This is a good opportunity to have close contact with the royal family and the church!!
Even if the price is as high as 3000 gold coins, it will be sold out in three days. Just so many 100 boxes, we got more than 300000 gold coins!
There are more than 600 VIP seats in this building, which are also sold in the form of "package tickets". They are not retail. A seat priced at 300 gold coins was sold out in just a few days.
It's only for the second and third floors. He got nearly half a million gold coins. Looking at the figures in the account book, Deron blushed and looked like he wanted to kiss Duwei on the spot!
Half a million gold coins! This is 500000 gold coins!!
This Dewey is indeed the gold finger recognized by the Empire! He can bring fortune wherever he goes!
As for the tickets on the first floor Square... Dewey just swiped his pen. According to the price of three copperplates per day, Delong was surprised by the low price. However, Dewey then gave a faint smile: "the seats upstairs are used to earn the gold coins of the rich people in the imperial capital! After all, after hundreds of years of peaceful management, the imperial capital has a lot of rich people. But most of the audience in the square are ordinary citizens. For these citizens, a few coppers are already the cost of living for a day. They can't afford to spend more money to watch the excitement. So there's no need to set the price too high, otherwise, I'm afraid no one will come to see it. "
Even so, thousands of tickets on the first floor of the square are also being sold rapidly. After all, for civilians. A few coppers is also a big expense, and many people are still waiting to see... But Dewey predicts that tickets will sell quickly when the game really starts.
According to the calculation, just selling ordinary tickets on the first floor is enough to recover the cost of the renovation.
On the second floor and the third floor, Dewey gave Delong 100000 gold coins, and then he took 100000. The rest is a stroke of the pen. All of them were donated to the imperial treasury, which satisfied the Regent. The chancellor of the exchequer also came to Duwei's home that night to express his gratitude, and even proposed to let Duwei's younger brother marry his granddaughter in advance.
Dewey murmured: "Gabriel is only fourteen years old! According to the custom of the Empire, it's OK, but the old man's granddaughter is only 12 years old!! This is a crime!
Because the number of participants is too many, if the fight, two two of the game, I'm afraid this game will not end next spring!
So Dewey and Delong discussed, Delong came forward, after discussing with the other three judges, made the preliminary rules of the game! Let all the players draw lots and then fight in groups of eight!
Eight people in the ring, the last still standing, is the winner of this group!
This proposal was originally received some doubts, after all, a person to win seven opponents at the same time, somewhat too difficult! Although it's very easy for a good warrior to beat seven ordinary people by one person, it's a samurai competition! If a level 6 warrior meets seven level 5 warriors in a group, then even if the level 6 warrior is the strongest, he can't beat seven level 5 warriors!
However, Deron came up with Dewey's saying: "the competition is not only about personal strength, but also wisdom! On the duel field, we should not only rely on personal brute force, but also learn to use our brains! Hide yourself, save strength, and so on... The champion we hope to choose finally is the leader who can lead the sword of Roland knights to glory. Don't be a brute force. If you really encounter the kind of situation you said, then as the strongest person in the group, he will inevitably encounter hostility from other players, so the player must use his brain! "
This set of words convinced the other three judges.
Four days before the new year, the world's first martial arts contest officially begins!
In the preliminaries, the huge challenge arena was divided into eight small parts, each of which was on the small challenge arena. There is a team in the fight, time is only a pillar of incense! It will take about half an hour to finish burning this incense. If a team can't win in half an hour, then the whole team will be eliminated!
Although it's not fair... In this way, it's inevitable that there will be some so-called "death group", so that some stronger players are divided into the same group, or they can't finish the game within the specified time. The whole group was eliminated... But Dewey's view on this is: there is no absolute fairness in the world! Sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength!
For example, Dewey's previous World Cup is also a group competition, and the final champion may not defeat all the strong teams. Just beat the opponent you draw to win the championship... Can you say it's absolutely fair?
In any case, in a noisy evaluation, the competition officially started!
Dewey didn't play on the first day, and his preliminary group did the next. So on this day, he was very happy to sit in the box on the third floor and watch the players fighting below.
Little Zach also took a group of people to sit in the square on the first floor closest to the challenge arena. Even put a few tables, a few people in the non-stop record of what.
Because some of the people who participated in today's preliminaries were hot players in the bet. As the head of the gambling group, young Zach wanted to record the results of the game, then cash them one by one according to the bet, and then change and modify the odds according to the outcome.
As a result, the first day of the game, let a lot of gamblers lost!
Obviously. It seems that this year, to measure the strength of "Knight level" is no longer enough!
Today, in a group, there are two popular bets who are divided into a group. These two guys have the strength of level 5, which can be regarded as intermediate warriors. They both have the strength to show their fighting spirit. After the draw, these two guys are divided into a group. It immediately caused a lot of criticism from gamblers. And six other people in the same group. They're all junior warriors of level two or three.
According to the normal guess, this group will probably become two level five guys, the final single result.
The results are acceptable. But it was beyond everyone's expectation!!
At the beginning of the competition, these two level five guys were also very smart. They even reached a tacit understanding at the beginning. Instead of fighting each other first, they cooperated with each other to form an alliance. They planned to clean up other low-level players on the stage first! This can prevent two of them from being surrounded by the other six players because they stand out from the crowd.
However, to the astonishment of all the audience, two level five masters joined hands to beat five players out of the challenge arena. In the final stage, apart from them, there was only a young man who looked very thin... According to the information announced before the competition, this young man had only level three strength and was only 20 years old.
A 20-year-old young man of level 3 has to face the joint attack of two level 5 masters... But the result is good.
In full view of the public, the young man was dressed in coarse gray cloth, and then he was holding a worn-out sword. All of a sudden, he drank fiercely, and a gray fighting spirit burst out on the sword!
As a result, with one sword, he cut a level 5 enemy back and forth, and split the other's sword away! Then take advantage of another guy's stupefied Kung Fu, fly up a kick in the other party's heart, put him directly down the challenge arena!
The guy whose sword had been chopped away was already spitting blood, so when the young man's sword was on his throat, he simply raised his hands to admit defeat!
There was an uproar!
Then, among the shouts of countless audiences, the young man stepped down from the challenge arena to welcome the cheers of the crowd. Even Dewey, standing in the box, stood up, smiling and clapping
Of course he's happy! Two hot bets have been killed! Let his gambling group make a lot of money!
"What's the name of this young man?" Du Wei asked Deron around him. He looked at the young man under the stage. That guy is thin and tall, his hair is green, his face is very protruding, his eyes are very firm, and he is a very strong young man.
Delong quickly looked through the list of today's contestants, and then said with a smile: "Oh, I found it! His name is... Bick... What a strange name. "
The first day was not the only one. In another group, this group has a level 6 master. And this master is a holy knight!!
A level 6 holy knight's strength, that absolutely does not contain any water! Everyone knows that! So in this group, people think that the level 6 holy knight will win. There is no doubt that he is also a big hit in this group!
But as a result, a young man in his twenties with straw like hair, with a typical southern accent, wearing a white coarse cloth Samurai robe, did not even pull out his weapon. With a speed almost ghostly, in a moment, the other opponents were knocked down!
Finally, he easily dodged the level 6 Knight's sword, stuck it in front of him, hit the level 6 knight on the waist and eye, and directly knocked him out of the challenge arena... What moved Du Wei most was that. After falling down from the challenge arena, the level six Knight immediately turned over and jumped up. He didn't look hurt at all!
What does that mean? It means that the guy has a good hand! He can easily control the power of his hand!
It's not difficult to beat the enemy down the challenge arena, but it's difficult to keep the opponent from getting hurt! Control the power within a certain range. That is to let the other side lose resistance, and not hurt the other side
This boy is a master! Dewey immediately made a judgment: his strength is at least above level 7!
"What's his name?" Dewey immediately asked Delong.
"Er... His name is... It's a strange name again, karkarot, from... Well, strange, the information shows that he comes from the southern swamp! It's a very dangerous place
Dewey: "it's not like..."
Another unexpected creator of this day also has a name that makes duvet's eyelids jump!
This guy was in a group and only used a few faces. He broke the legs of four level 4 players and two level 3 players, and the last enemy jumped out of the challenge arena in fright... And the winner, according to the data, was just a level 1 fighter!!!
Moreover, his information comes from a small village near the frozen forest in the north. I'm twenty-eight years old. My name is... Vegeta!!
Dewey rolled his eyes!
Bick? Karkarot? Vegeta?
Damn it... It's really the "world's first martial arts contest" ah!!
Dewey even wanted to point at God and scold him: God, do you play dragon ball for me! There is no tortoise fairy! Do you have Tianjin food! Is there any Tranks!!
Although those coincidental names depressed duvet, he soon became happy.
Why?
A few big bets were killed, so his casino naturally made a lot of money!
That night Dewey had a good sleep. At the same time, the odds have been revised. The odds of today's "Dragon Ball trio" have been raised.
The next day, the Knights' Association arena. All the audience are full!! Even the tickets on the square are sold out! Even on the street outside the Knights' Association, there is a new professional group of scalpers, commonly known as "scalpers", which has never been seen in the mainland of Roland!
These guys are walking around the crowd with mysterious faces. When they see those people who are sad because they can't buy tickets, they stick them up quietly and whisper stealthily: "brother, do you want tickets! It's the Duke of tulip's game today
Of course, Dewey doesn't know about all this. He doesn't know that he has brought a new professional group to the continent.
He's sitting in a players' lounge.
Today, the competition field outside is very lively. It is almost a sea of people. The square and grandstand are all full. The seats in the upper floor and the box are all full.
Obviously... The reason why so many people come here today is for the name of tulip Duke!
A lot of people are curious about this magic genius. Does he know martial arts or not! In other words, how strong his martial arts skills are!
At the beginning of the competition, when Dewey was the first person in the group to enter the challenge arena, the whole match was thunderous!
I heard a lot of applause and cheers from the stands, and there were many girls screaming.
And in the stands of the square, there are even some people who adore the Duke of tulip, playing a huge signboard!
What "tulip will win" and so on, is still implicit.
There are some crazy girls. He jumped up and screamed at Dewey on the stage: "Your Highness, marry me! I'm beautiful. I'm still a virgin! "
"Duke, I'd like to be your lover! My name is... "
"Your Majesty, you are so charming! I'm willing to die for you! "
The group of females chirped, which made Du Wei burst into a cold sweat.
In the box, Prince Chen saw the scene and couldn't help touching his chin and said with a smile: "ha ha ha! It seems that the title of "first love saint" of our empire is finally worthy of someone! Since the death of the last head of the Liszt family. The position of the first love saint of the Empire has always been vacant. "
Prince Charlie sitting next to him was impatient. He wanted to see if the teacher showed his skill.
But Princess Karina, looking at the women below who yelled at Dewey crazily, showed an undisguised disgust on her face.
In the sound of shouting and shouting, the match begins!
To Dewey's surprise. When the gong sounded, he was ready to fight, holding his long bow in his hand and looking at the seven opponents in front of him. According to common sense. He is the most dazzling person in the whole group. He is sure to be a thorn in everyone's eye. Dewey is worried that these people will come up and attack him first.
But it turns out
One second passed... Ten seconds passed... Thirty seconds passed
These guys, you look at me, I look at you, no one starts first!
"Hello! I said you guys, do you come here to see the scenery! Do it Dewey was impatient.
It is to lean on Du Wei's recent several guys, a face ground helpless, looking at Du Wei. Suddenly one of them whispered, "Your Highness! Please, just light up some moves and let's jump off the challenge arena by ourselves... "
"Yes, yes!" The others nodded quickly.
Dewey: "you..."
The guy's smile: "you're welcome! Who are we? How dare we fight with you
"Yes, yes!" Others nodded again!
Dewey immediately understood what was going on!
It turns out that Dewey is the most dazzling player in this group. It's true... But as an imperial Duke, who dares to fight him!
Although people think that the Duke is not good at martial arts, he is a duke!
How dare you strike him? Give him a punch! Give him a kick?
Hum, even if you win the game! Do you have life to walk out of the imperial capital?!
Even if the Duke is kind and doesn't care about you, there are a lot of people in the imperial capital who want to hold the tulip Duke's thigh! The Duke doesn't have to do it himself. There will be a group of people willing to help him out!!
The game won. Take the bonus?
You have to have your life!
Du Wei can't help but smile bitterly... In conscience, he really doesn't have the slightest idea of bullying others!!!
He wanted to be here. I don't want to talk nonsense with these people at all. I pick my brow: "don't talk nonsense! Fight
With that, Dewey took a step forward. He just raised his finger and buckled it to the bowstring of the long bow... But when he saw Dewey raise his finger, the guy nearest to him immediately looked happy, and then suddenly cried out: "how awesome!"
The voice falls, this guy already "screams" one, the body struggles to fly back to go out, fell directly below the challenge arena!
Dewey's stunned! He was stunned to see two eyes, laughing and crying, subconsciously repeatedly waved: "you don't..."
But looking at Dewey's "hand waving" movement, the two men standing in front of him immediately looked at each other. There were two tacit "ah ah" screams, one of which was exaggerated to shout "what a powerful split air palm"!
With that, the two guys have already "soared" and landed heavily outside the challenge arena!!
Dewey almost fainted with anger. His teeth rattled and he stared at the remaining opponents: "you! Are you going to fight or not? "
"I dare not!" Several people shake their heads one after another, with a face of servility.
Dewey's angry!
If you don't fight, I will fight!
Think of it here. He strode forward, facing the two guys in front of him, and raised his legs to kick
But Duwei's leg raising was just done. The two guys already looked happy. Then they cried bitterly twice and flew out left and right
Looking at the challenge arena, Du Wei "cooked" five opponents for a moment, and there was already a boo under the stage!
And the prince Chen sitting in the box. Laughing and rolling on the chair. How clever he was, he understood the subtlety in an instant, and he burst into tears with laughter.
Dewey couldn't hang on his face, and the voice below turned him black and white. He stares at the last two opponents. Look at a guy on the left and say, "you! It's you! Come and hit me
"I dare not!" The man stepped back two more steps.
"Come and hit me!" Dewey pushed forward.
"I dare not!" The man stepped back again with a shrinking face“ Do you want to fight or not! " Dewey was furious, pushing forward“ The villain absolutely dare not The man stepped back again“ I'll let you fight, you fight! " Dewey pushed forward again“ The villain is really not... " This man just said half of it. He retreated again, but stepped on nothing. He had already retreated to the edge of the challenge arena. This step is empty, immediately fell down the challenge arena. Again... Dewey solved another opponent! Dewey stood there, almost spitting out blood in anger. Thousands of audience were angry and yelled: "black curtain! Fake fight!! Black screen!! Fake match! " More people shout "refund!! Refund In the stands, the Regent had lost his hand in laughter, and even the teacups were thrown out of the railing, holding his stomach and twitching. And Dewey is on the ring. Look at the last "opponent" left in front of you. Dewey put away his anger, suddenly with a very kind tone, to the guy's soft voice: "you hit me, I won't blame you." The man was about to cry out: "my Lord, I dare not kill you."“ What are you afraid of when I ask you to fight! "“ I'm afraid of everything The man's reply made Dewey bleed“ In this way, you come, you cut me a sword. I'll give you ten thousand gold coins! You give me a kick. I'll give you 20000 gold coins! " The man cried, "my Lord! The villain is willing to donate all his belongings to the adults... Please stretch out your hand and let me go down... "Du Wei said in his heart:" do it quickly. As long as you do it, I'll make you commander! " The man finally stopped crying, and his face showed a color of absolute resolution! Du Wei sees in the eye, in the heart a joy, he finally wants to start? The result... This guy suddenly roared and pounced on Dewey! Dewey stood in the same place, picked up the long bow, was about to block... But this guy's position was far higher than Dewey's head! He jumped directly over Dewey's head, and then, with a plop, he fell under the challenge arena! See him still "struggle hard" struggled a few times, vomited a mouthful of blood in the mouth! Looking at Dewey, he cried out: "Your Majesty, you are the best! Great, great! I admire you With that, he straightened out and passed out. Dewey, holding a long bow, was stiff there, watching this guy perform at last... "I, I want to compete!" Dewey looked up at the sky and sighed bitterly.
