About two streets south of Earl Square, King Lane, there is a fighting arena.

Originally, in the hands of the second King of Lane, who drew up the blueprint of the city, there was no location for this arena, but it was only built because of the personal preferences of the third King of Lane, and then in the time of the fifth King of Lane, the arena was closed and abandoned. If it weren't for the high cost of demolishing this arena at that time, it would have been demolished by order of the fifth King of Lane.

And now the sixth King of Lane, Ingus. Ryan chose a completely different approach from his father: he simply rented out the arena.

The lease was for thirty years, and as long as it did not touch on Lane's laws and fundamental principles, Lane would not bother with all the ways in which the arena was run.

Therefore, after the arena was taken over, it became the most lingering holy place for all the nobles in the entire Ryan King Capital. Here, almost every day there are extremely tragic bloody battles, whether it is hand-to-hand combat between humans and beasts or team fighting, etc., everything can be satisfied in this arena.

It's just that today, the atmosphere of the arena is a little different from the past.

Although the strong smell of blood caused by the long-term fighting still lingers, today's arena gives people a more solemn feeling.

However, it is no wonder, because the arena has been closed for almost a month since it was learned that both the Silver and Gold tournaments of the Martial Arts Festival would be held in this arena. During this month, it was natural to re-plan and reorganize the entire arena, although it was impossible to make major changes due to time constraints. But at least it does give this arena a touch of solemnity.

As time went on, people began to enter the arena as well.

The first to enter and occupy a good position are naturally those powerful and powerful. For this. The arena also has a special passage for these big men to enter. These aristocratic figures liked this kind of vanity that could show off their status and position of power, especially when they saw the envy and adoration of the commoners, which made them feel extremely excited.

At this time, a carriage painted in dark black paint was passing through this gate.

There were no ornaments, no markings, and no family crests on the carriage, and it looked like a very ordinary carriage. But pass by here at this time. In any case, there was a clear and extraordinary atmosphere, and many nobles seemed to think of something, and their eyes looking at the carriage became a little meaningless.

After passing through the gates of the arena. The carriage bypassed a side path and drove straight ahead.

This trail is actually not very long, about 100 meters, but most people will not walk into this trail at will. Because it only leads to one place.

The Gate of Blood.

This is the back door of the Ryan Arena. It is also the entry venue for all free contestants in the Ryan Arena.

It's just that because it is a free contestant, it is natural to go through a little test in order to ensure the strength. And this test is this trail that is no more than 100 meters long - the road of trials.

It was none other than Sean sitting in the carriage.

Sean is accompanied by Cecilia, while Rena is in charge of driving. As for Shephaneo, Marton, Vinia and the others did not go along, but rested in Sean's mansion. At the same time, some preparations are being made for the upcoming martial arts festival gold group event.

Sitting in the carriage, Sean looked out the window. Looking at this slightly eerie quiet path, he turned his head to look at Cecilia: "It's a cloister-type magic array, right?" ”

"Yes." Cecilia nodded obediently, "A more conventional cloister-type magic array, with primary illusions and primary fears, oh, and a mental pressure. The pressure on the newcomers in the Bronze Realm is still relatively large, but the masters of the Silver Realm basically don't have much effect. …… Of course, if the will is strong enough, it is still possible to complete this road smoothly. ”

"Is the path of trials in the Ryan Arena a test of the will of the contestants?" Sean pouted noncommittally, "However, the cloister-type magic array can generally be changed by replacing a few nodes, and I don't think that people who have the capital to contract the entire arena will only make such a trial path out." ”

"Even if it is changed, it is only to upgrade the power effect, and there is no way to change the specific effect." Cecilia opened her mouth to deny Sean's statement, "Specifically, it involves the theory of magic. I don't think you're interested in any of that. ”

Sean shrugged his shoulders, then reached out and gently rubbed Cecilia's head, and smiled, "I really don't have much interest, but I still have you." ”

I don't know if Sean's movements were too intimate, or if Sean's words were very ambiguous, Cecilia's face became a little hot and red. It's just that Sean has already turned his head to look ahead at this time, missing the beautiful scenery of Cecilia's face and peach blossoms, because he has already felt the pause of the carriage, but Sean looks at the surrounding situation, and at this time there is still a short distance from the blood gate in the Ryan Arena.

"What's going on?" Sean asked.

"There's a traffic jam, Lord Sean." Rena's voice came from the front of the carriage.

"Traffic jams?" Sean frowned, then opened the car door and jumped out.

Soon, he understood what Rena meant by the traffic jam.

In front of Sean's carriage, there were already dozens of carriages lined up, at least more than twenty, many of which had been renovated and large. On the surface, these carriages are obviously much more high-end than Sean's, and many of them have uniform configurations in terms of specifications and decorations, and there is no doubt that these carriages are the seeded players sent by the surrounding countries to participate this time.

Although the martial arts festival is nominally a celebration of Lane's ascension to a kingdom, it is actually a military competition to compete for various strengths and heritage.

Sean already knew very well from Flores about the part of this martial arts festival individual match. Therefore, he naturally knew that while he was busy with the transformation of dead bones and getting proficient during this time, Flores was also busy for the official convening of the martial arts festival. As a nationwide martial arts festival, the participants are naturally unlikely to be those who have been selected. After all, the future potential of a kingdom is at stake, so it is natural that civilians are allowed to participate.

Basically, an event like this is an opportunity for many civilians to skyrocket, so the number of entries is actually in the tens of thousands.

But after a series of selections and eliminations, there are only 66 people who can participate in today's competition.

The 66 players include a total of 17 seeded players from five countries: the Karossa Tribe, the United Nations, the Kingdom of Hales, the Fascist Kingdom, the Duchy of Roboin and the Kingdom of Lane. The other forty-nine people were Ryan civilians who fought their way through a series of auditions with their own strength, and they were able to participate in today's game with their individual strength. It already means that they already have enough strength.

In order to free up enough time for the Gold Division, the 66 players participating in the Silver Division will decide 33 people in one day today, and these 33 will advance to the second round tomorrow. After that, in order to take into account the excitement and watchability of the game at the same time. The 33 will be selected over two days for 17 players, and then nine for the third round of the tournament over the same two days, and then the next five contestants will be determined by a draw of lots over the course of a day.

Of course, in terms of the flow of the event. In a nine-man match, one person will have a bye and will not have to play.

And when the bottom five are determined. The Silver competition is over for the time being, and the five will get a week's rest.

As for the week, it is the time for the golden group.

This time, the Gold Group had a larger number of participants, with a total of more than 200 participants from five countries. According to the process that has been decided, these people will determine the top 64 within a week, and then after the top five in the silver group have determined the bottom three, it will be the turn of the gold group. It's just that the second round of the gold group lasts for a month. These powerhouses will determine the quarterfinals in a month's time, and the Silver Championship Season Finals will start in a month and a half.

Both Rena and Cecilia have already confirmed their participation in the Gold Division. Both of them are obviously here today to accompany Sean.

And when Sean went out today, he had already received the intelligence information prepared by the Marquis of Flores in advance. Today's opponent is a young man from the Kingdom of Hales, perhaps because he is from a foreign country, so he has very little information, just basic information such as name, height, and possible weapons and habits that he prefers. But the only thing that is certain is that this person is not on the danger list.

The so-called danger list is a few people that Marquis Floris asked Sean to pay attention to.

According to this information, there are a total of five people in the silver group of the tournament worthy of Sean's attention, one is a prince from the United Nations of the Karosa tribe, one is a descendant of a nobleman from the Kingdom of Hales, and one is the grandson of a duke from the fascist kingdom, and the last two are the twin grandsons of a prince from the Duchy of Robin. These five people are not only powerful, but at the same time, the Marquis of Flores specially explained that he must be merciful, if these five people die, then it is very likely to cause a new round of war, because their identity is too special.

In this regard, Sean actually still has a little headache.

Because two of these five men have obtained the accepted theory of the strongest silver in their own country. It's not easy to defeat such an opponent, at least Sean knows very well what kind of strength the so-called "strongest silver" represents.

So Sean didn't dare to promise anything to the Marquis of Floris, he could only say that he promised to let them live, and no one could say whether the body could be intact or not. And in this regard, the Marquis of Floris also expressed his understanding, after all, no one can say the situation of the battle, and the competition of the martial arts festival also has the purpose of weakening the strength of the enemy country.

At this time, located in the arena, the sixth King of Lane Ingels was standing on the grand podium and delivering a speech similar to the leader's congratulatory speech, and the envoys from several surrounding countries also watched Ingels's speech with a smile on their faces.

No matter how you look at it, this is obviously a strong and glorious beauty of Guotai and Min'an.

But in fact, how turbulent the undercurrent is at the bottom can be seen from the blood gate of the arena at this moment.

Because in addition to the four countries of the Kingdom of Hales, the United Nations of the Karosa Tribe, the Duchy of Robin, and the Kingdom of France, the people who came to participate in the competition knew each other and knew each other, as the people of the Kingdom of Lane, whether they were commoners or nobles, they still maintained a certain vigilance against each other, which made Sean secretly shake his head.
