With the wooden door slowly rising, the noisy cheers immediately filled everyone's ears, although many people in this kind of game actually have no tendencies, but lively, just join in the fun. And when the people on both sides came out, these people shouted more happily, plus the Colosseum was originally located underground, and the sound echoed in the hollow, but it was even more noisy, and even Rod and Marlene couldn't help frowning——— this noise was indeed too annoying.

Soon, however, with the appearance of the Lord of Krauser, the noise died down again. And this city lord obviously didn't mean to talk nonsense, he just told a little about the situation of this competition, and then announced the rules——— for the sake of convenience, the rules of this competition are exactly the same as the Midsummer Festival, the two sides choose the game mode, and then each send people to fight in the ring. As long as one side falls out of the ring, falls unconscious or voluntarily admits defeat, the victory can be determined, but it is strictly forbidden to kill people. If there is a violator, the qualification will be completely disqualified, and the failure will be automatically determined.

Subsequently, the battle began.

"So, I'm on!"

Holding the staff, Marlene didn't say a word back, and then walked directly into the ring. This move surprised Lijie a little, and Rod and Qilian also looked at each other curiously——— I really didn't see that Marlene looked calm before, it turned out that she was very excited in her heart. If she had changed her usual days, she would not have been so positive at all. But after thinking about it, Rod quickly understood. Don't look at Marlene's mouth saying that she has seen a lot of this kind of scene, in fact, it's like you watch a drama 10,000 times and you go up to perform a drama by yourself It's completely different, even if Marlene has participated in the Midsummer Festival before, but she definitely hasn't participated in such a ring match between mercenaries. At this moment, seeing the girl's eager look, Rod opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

And I saw a beautiful girl walking on stage. The surrounding audience is even more energetic, most of them don't know the identity of Marlene. And this kind of competition was originally a lively one, and the good-looking ones naturally took advantage, and for a while the applause was thunderous, and the cheers were overwhelming, as if welcoming some big man.........

On the other hand, after seeing Marlene, they were all hesitant, unlike those "onlookers who don't know the truth", they knew Marlene's true identity. Shania's family didn't provoke it by themselves, if they missed and injured this young lady. So what to do?

While they were talking, a thief interrupted them.

"Needless to say, I'll come."

"You're coming?"

Hearing this, the other four looked at the thief who spoke in surprise. Of course they knew this person. That's the deputy head of the Cyclops mercenary group. It's not bad, either. It's just that at this time, he will actually take the initiative, isn't he afraid of something?

"Hey, you need to think about the identity of that young lady."

Ultimately. Someone still couldn't help but remind him, but the deputy head shook his head.

"Don't worry, I know what you're afraid of, but now this is a duel between mercenaries, no matter what her identity is, standing here is a mercenary......... Even if you lose. She can only admit it, can't she? This is the rule of mercenaries. Since she is already a member of the mercenary group, she naturally has to abide by it. ”

"This ..............."

Although the other party's words were not wrong, the others were still a little hesitant, but in the end, they still nodded, after all, no matter what, it would be good for someone to help them touch the situation first, so they quickly nodded in agreement. Seeing them nodding in agreement, the thief also smiled, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and turned and walked into the ring. ...,"How do I think he seems to have a little opinion of that young lady?" ”

Looking at the back of the thief, the leader of the War Shield Mercenary Regiment said with some doubts, and the others were also a little puzzled, everyone has known each other for a long time, and many people can see that he seems to have a little grudge against Marlene at this moment, but no one knows what is going on. Of course, this kind of thing is discussed by everyone in private, with the idea that the dead Dao friends are not dead and poor, and they are not nosy.

And in fact, they guessed right.

She's still like that.........

Walking into the ring and looking at Marlene opposite, the thief couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

In fact, the two are not actually related, when Marlene first came to Deep Rock City, in order to seek adventure and combat experience, she once proposed to join some mercenary groups, and many mercenary groups rejected her, and the Cyclops mercenary group also rejected one of Marlene's ones. In fact, when Marlene wanted to join the mercenary group to participate in the battle, there were still many people in the Cyclops mercenary group who welcomed it, because few mages joined the mercenary group, so there were also some people who supported Marlene's joining.

But this is not the case for this deputy commander, as a thief, he is sensitive by nature and he senses the trace of contempt for mercenaries hidden under Marlene's politeness, it is obvious that in Marlene's opinion, she and these vulgar mercenaries are not from the same world at all, so although she is quite polite, but there is no lack of contempt in her heart. But the deputy head of the regiment was aware of this, of course he didn't like Marlene's mood, and because the other party was still a nobleman, he resisted it even more. In the end, because of his resolute opposition, the Cyclops mercenary group was not able to accept Marlene.

But now......... The woman was standing in the mercenary ring.

However, her opinion of mercenaries does not seem to have changed.

Thinking of this, the thief held the double knife, he didn't know how powerful Marlene was, but judging from the degree of starlight, this young lady was young after all, even if she was a mage, her strength should not be very strong. Then, now is the time, young lady, although I don't know how your head is used to you, but now, it's time for you to know that the mercenary industry is not as simple as you think!

Marlene held the staff in her hand and quietly stared at the thief in front of her, she was not unaware of the other party's expression, but Marlene didn't care at all, and she didn't have any doubts. As the heir to the Shania family. She has experienced all kinds of inexplicable envy, jealousy and hatred since she was a child, and now she doesn't care what this thief is thinking. She only cares about one thing, and that is fighting.

That's all.

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo...............! ”

Two short and one long horns sounded, and the battle officially began.

The thief's figure flickered, and he flashed away in the ring in an instant, he was wearing a gray leather armor and cloak, lowered his figure, and immediately walked away by Marlene's side with the thief's characteristic steps, and soon, the thief's figure merged with the entire ring. Everyone could barely see his figure, only Marlene could be seen standing quietly in place, not moving, seemingly. It was as if she had no notice of the other person's movements.

Hum. And so it was.

Seeing Marlene's reaction, the thief couldn't help but show a sneer, how could he say that he was also the deputy head of a mercenary group. The strength is still there. At this moment, seeing Marlene standing motionless like a wooden man, he sneered in his heart. As a thief, his judgment was not bad, and it was clear from Marlene's eyes and expression that she did not find her place, but just quietly watched ahead. It's as if you're staring at it all the time, and you're going to run out. …,

Hahaha, the eldest lady is the eldest lady. Do you really think I'm a pig's head?

Thinking of this, the thief pressed his patience even more, and he quietly turned half his body and came behind Marlene, which was already very dangerous for a mage. Not to mention that Marlene didn't even release the shield for herself after the start, in this case, for a thief, even a mage, it is no different from an ordinary person.

Now is the time!

Lurking behind Marlene, the thief seized the opportunity and leaped forward, smashing the hilt of the dagger into the back of the girl's head. Obviously, he wanted to take this opportunity to smash Marlene completely unconscious, so that he could easily solve the other party.

And it was at this time that Marlene finally moved.

She raised her staff.

Dazzling, sun-like brilliance burst out from the top of the girl's staff in an instant, and for a while, the originally dim underground Colosseum was bright, and even the surrounding spectators couldn't help but close their eyes. At this time, the thief who launched the attack also subconsciously closed his eyes, and then his heart sank suddenly.

"Not good!!"

The thought had barely passed through the thief's mind, but soon he heard a crisp shout.

“Liarn!” (Tempest)

The howling wind rose on the ground in an instant.

The thieves in the air had no way to block and dodge, because Marlene's attack did not have a clear direction at all, but directly broke out a circle of strong winds around her, and at this moment the thieves wanted to dodge and where was there a gap, but in this blink of an eye, the howling wind completely swept the thieves into the sky.

But that's just the beginning. Just after releasing the violent wind, Marlene did not pause at all, and the staff in her hand descended with the momentum, quickly drawing a mysterious and complex symbol in the air, and with the glowing magic of the symbol, a huge fireball emerged from the top of Marlene's head, and then exploded violently.

"Boom!!"

A huge wave of qi mixed with flames erupted around the thief, making the thief who was already a little unsure of how to be a good thief even more embarrassed, at this moment, the deputy head of the mercenary group had completely lost the idea of wanting to give Marlene a little color to see, and only hoped that he could save his life. He had completely forgotten that this was a ring match, and the dazzling light, the wind and heat whistling around him even gave him the illusion that he was about to fall into the abyss of hell.

And at that moment, Marlene raised her staff again.

The storm turned cold to the bone, and the thief felt a powerful impact slamming down on him like a war hammer falling from the sky, and then he only felt the wind blowing in his ears, and then a sharp pain and pressure came from his back, almost causing him to open his mouth and vomit blood.

"Ahem!!"

The surroundings are unusually quiet.

It was only then that the thief slowly opened his eyes, and he felt that his whole body was sore, and his limbs seemed to be falling apart, and in front of him was the dark dome of the hollow underground. And beneath him was not the smooth slate of the ring, but the soft soil.

Did he fail?

The thief stared blankly, completely unsure of what to say. And at this moment, he heard the girl's calm voice.

"Next." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
