"Hey! Jock, have you heard that? There's a duel in the underground ring! A short, male-looking old man muttered to the bald man who was drinking with him.

The bald man drank the remaining liquor from the wine glass and said to the old man knowingly, "Old John! Do you have itchy hands again? It just so happens that I also have some spare money in my hands, so let's go get a handful together! If I win, the cost of this meal will be mine! ”

With lewd smiles, the two staggered shoulder to shoulder and staggered towards the basement of the bar

There is a big difference between the above-ground and underground bars, and although they are both places to drink, the underground is noticeably more lively.

If the bar on the ground is for people to gather and celebrate, then the bar on the ground is completely for people to entertain and enjoy.

Underground bars are full of adventurers at all times, gambling, liquor, banned drugs, drug dealing, and underground rings are only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that bars can't do.

The bar is most famous for its underground ring, which was originally built to provide adventurers with a wide square for training and fitness. However, due to the unruliness of the adventurers and their own way, conflicts between adventurers occur from time to time. Although the bar manager will try to mediate between the two parties, some issues cannot be resolved with a word or two of apology. Therefore, this flat land was used to set up an underground ring, a place for adventurers with contradictions to solve conflicts.

However, the head of the bar may not have imagined that adventurers are very fond of bloody and passionate places like the ring.

Even if there is no contradiction between the two, they will itch to go up and fight. Of course, this kind of ordinary fight does not require a contract of life and death.

It didn't take long for the bar to find out what was going on in this area, and they not only spent a lot of effort to train a group of adventurers who were dedicated to fighting in the ring, but also encouraged ordinary adventurers to participate in the ring. Sometimes they even catch a few ferocious monsters to make spices for the underground ring.

"What!? No remaining rings for rent today? Feed! Our pirates of Notellers are regulars at your Maple Leaf Adventure Bar! Five small rings and one big central ring, I don't believe you don't even have one ring left!! Shaya slapped the counter twice and yelled at the waiter at the counter.

Ike silently watched everything in front of him, for he had no idea what was going on

He didn't know that a pirate had teased Ifie, that the pirate had been crippled by Iffie, and that Shaya, the pirate leader, had come to find an opponent.

When he came to his senses, all he saw was a group of vicious-looking pirates around him, and it was obvious that they were not good. Regarding Shaya's request to let her fight her, she could only agree for the safety of her sister and others.

The counter attendant responded calmly to Shaya's scolding: "Dear guest, I'm sorry! Tonight we have a dueling tournament at our Maple Leaf Adventure Bar, which will take up all the rings. If you just want to fight in the ring, you can sign up for this dueling tournament, but be aware that this tournament is alive or dead. As for the fairness of the ring, there is no need to worry at all, we have invited the market manager as a referee, and the manager will make a fair decision on the duel in the ring. ”

"Guest, this flyer says the rules of the duel of the duel tournament, this duel tournament can only be attended by adventurers below level 30, and the winner of the duel tournament can get a C-rank power gem ring! This ring is the work of a shock alchemist, and even if it is placed in an ordinary alchemy shop, it can be sold for at least five or six hundred thousand. For some reason, the waiter kindly introduced the dueling meeting to Shaya.

Shaya glanced at the flyer on the counter and said to the waiter, "I'm going to today's dueling!" Sign me up with this kid! ”

The waiter looked at the obviously unfriendly Ike and Shaya in confusion, but he was still very wise not to ask anything, and only helped Ike and Shaya to check in and then continued to return to his busy work.

"Who are you? What exactly is your purpose? Ike asked Shaya in an unfriendly tone after taking his entry card back to the Space Ring.

Because it was simply incredible, this woman actually returned all the things she had discarded, such as the space ring, the steel dagger, and the flying shield. How did she find these things? And how did she know that these things were her own? And why did she give it back to herself?

All of this made Ike feel incredible, how could there be such a strange person in the world!?

"If it's because I've taken a fancy to you! What should you do? Hmm~~ little handsome guy!? Shaya not only didn't get angry when she heard Ike's question, but smiled and asked Ike.

Ike was flushed by Shaya's provocative words and seductive tone, and Ike yelled angrily, "What a joke!" Then he strode away from Shaya.

Shaya looked at the back of Ike leaving, shook her head and sighed: "Tsk~~ I didn't expect this seemingly cold little kid to be quite innocent, since he has such a reaction, he must have someone he likes." Alas~~~ I think I was like this back then, but it's a pity that the years are unforgiving."

★?????????????????? ★

Hey!? Where is this? Why is there all that kind of messy sound all around?

At this time, Xingyun, who was drunk after three glasses, got up from the wine table in a daze. After squinting his eyes and looking around vaguely, Nebula remembered that he was in the Maple Leaf Adventure Bar now.

Nebula shook his dazed head fiercely, yawned and rubbed his eyes gently.

"Nebula Apothecary, are you awake?" Derant, who was waiting on the side, immediately asked softly with a smile on his face when he saw Nebula wake up.

"Who are you? Oh~~~ I remember! You're the fat store manager of Wanjin Shop! Seems to be called Delander? Nebula scratched his head and racked his brains to remember what happened yesterday, but as if the pipe of memory was blocked by alcohol, Nebula couldn't remember the name of the person in front of him.

"I'm the manager of the Wanjin store, and my name is Vignier. Derand. Although Derrant was unhappy with Nebula's attitude that seemed to be deliberately forgotten, Derrant introduced himself again with a solemn attitude towards his profession.

"Uncle Derrant, what about Sister Effie and Eck? There's also a big sister named Samia, do you know where they are? Nebula asked Derrant suspiciously.

"Uncle!? This kid actually calls me uncle?? Lao Tzu is only twenty-five, is it good!! Durant roared inwardly.

Tears kept falling from Drant's heart

Although I am a bit older than a ten-year-old child, I am not an uncle yet!!

It took two deep breaths before Derrant calmed down the nameless fire he was about to erupt, and Derrant once again showed great professionalism, explaining to Nebula in great detail: "Miss Samia and her fiancé Sisok are in the lounge of the bar, Miss Effie is resting in another lounge, and Mr. Ike and a group of pirates went to the basement of the bar, probably to see the duel tournament held in the bar today!" ”

Although Derant was very concerned about how Nebula and the others met Samia, he still held back his doubts and didn't ask, sometimes the less things he knew, the better.

"Why wasn't I sent to the lounge? The table was so hard that it hurt my arm. Nebula rubbed his slightly aching arm while stroking his sore face and asked Derrant with some complaints.

Derrant explained to Nebula angrily and amusefully: "The rest of the bar is specially prepared for drunken guests to sober up, and there are many people in the bar who need this, and it is good that I can find a way to get to two lounges." And you're just asleep, you don't need to wake up. ”

Nebula remembered that he had only drunk three glasses at the time, and then he fell asleep on the table. Maybe there's a drunken effect in it, but Nebula is still a little embarrassed that he fell asleep while drinking.

"Na! Derand! There is a dueling meeting in the basement of the bar!? Let's take a look! Nebula excitedly suggested to the Derant. Obviously, Nebula is quite interested in this duel conference.

Derant pondered for a while and nodded to Nebula, anyway, Miss Samia and the female store manager of the Gilded Rose should not wake up so soon, and it would be good to take advantage of this time to watch the game, and he hadn't played for a long time

★?????????????????? ★

"Ike stabbed his opponent's breastplate with another clean sword! No one can survive the threat of Ike's death! Admit defeat!! Ike's opponent, Falijah admits defeat! Facing the short knife that was pressed against his chest, Faligh, a level 28 archer, admitted defeat! Ike! Ike won this semi-final!! Unexpectedly, there was such a strong strength hidden under his short and thin stature, and Ike qualified for the finals! Who will compete in the center ring with the twenty-fifth level flying hero, Ike? The host of the underground ring was very passionate about the game, and it looked like the duel was coming to an end.

"Short and thin is superfluous!" Ike cursed in his heart.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ike slowly walked out of the ring, and many adventurers shouted his name frantically beside Ike.

Ike was no stranger to this, at first Ike would be blushing and helpless, but after nearly ten games, Ike was able to completely control his emotions and not be affected by the noisy environment around him.

After all, Ike used to be a killer, and the killer has even stricter requirements for emotional control.

"It's decided!! The two finalists have decided!! Shaya once again kicked her opponent off the court with her gorgeous half-moon kick! As long as you get out of the ring, it's disqualified! So the winner of this round is the twenty-eighth level pirate - Saya player! Five minutes!! In five minutes, the final between Ike and Shaya will begin! Friends who haven't bet yet should be fast! Once the game starts, you have to stop betting, and the ratio of bets on both sides is 1 to 1, which is a good chance to fight for luck!! The host once again passionately explained to the adventurers near the underground ring, and after the explanation, he did not forget to pull some business for the colleagues in charge of gambling.

Shaya stroked her bright brown curls and hooked her fingers defiantly at Ike under the ring.

Instead of imitating Shaya to make the same provocative moves, Ike walked slowly towards where Shaya was with a cold face
