Chapter Ninety-One: The Challenge of the Brave

c_t; The Ramp of the Light of Wisdom, even among professionals, is considered to be the path of the brave, and only the strong who have both courage and self-confidence dare to rush down the ramp. 79xs-Of course, there are always some kinds of people in the world who will exist, and there will always be some ordinary people who do not hesitate to use their lives as bargaining chips in pursuit of stabbing 'excitement', imitating professionals to rush down the ramp, so most of them are dead, and among a thousand attempts, there is often not necessarily a successful one.

Every professional has a physical fitness far beyond normal people, even if it is the weakest mage in the profession, the strength speed and reaction power are not comparable to an ordinary person, running down a 60-degree slope, even if it is only a few tens of meters high, for speed, balance 'sex', coordination 'sex' and on-the-spot reaction ability is a very strict test, not to mention this ramp of more than 1,000 meters, if you can't control your speed, wait until the double' When the frequency of the legs' swing can't keep up with the speed of movement, or when the reflexes are insufficient, and you trip over the gravel and weeds on the ground, the final result is to roll all the way down, and finally the body is shattered, maybe the high-level professionals can barely save themselves, but the low-level professionals and ordinary people have no chance of being spared, so maybe the Mage Country calls this ramp the Wisdom Light Ramp, but in the Faral Empire, this ramp used to have a more appropriate name- The Death Ramp, and the canyon below is known as the Canyon of the Dead, and it is only in the last few hundred years that the official name of the two places is no longer called the Death Ramp and the Canyon of the Dead, but the people often still maintain the original name.

More than 400 years ago, when the Neutral Land was just established, the external expansion of the Farar Empire was in a very strong stage, and it often waged small-scale wars against the outside world, and the country was also very unstable, and the rebellion of the lords had become the norm. During this period of the most 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' time of the empire, a special kind of gambling was popular in the north of the empire, and each time there would be one or two ordinary people to challenge this death ramp, with the success and failure of the challenger, as well as the time that the loser insisted on as the content of the bet. Such a gamble is undoubtedly cruel. It's like the oldest gladiatorial arena, but it's also full of attraction, challenging those who fail will certainly die, and those who succeed. You will get a huge prize and you can leap into the ranks of the rich. As a result, countless people have joined the game, both as challengers and as bettors, and everyone who has participated is engaged. Even some black iron rank professionals have joined in, of course, the organizers or bankers are not idiots, since their success rate will be slightly higher than that of ordinary people, so their bonuses will be much less than ordinary people, but they can also be regarded as a good income. At first, the Farrar royal family did not care about this kind of gambling and did not 'intervene', but as time went on, the gambling became more and more frequent after a few years. At most, nearly 100 people died in the Canyon of the Dead in a month, and a large area of the ground below the ramp was soaked in coagulated blood.

In the face of the ultra-high mortality rate, the royal family of the Farrar Empire finally couldn't sit still and began to announce the ban on this kind of gambling, but due to the lack of control of the royal family, there are still a large number of nobles who ignore it and still hold regular challenges. For this reason, for the first time, the Imperial Family appealed to the Neutrals, asking the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurers' Guild to work together to ban the cruel gambling game. The end result was that the gambling game was completely banned, and the neutral place was officially recognized by the Ferrar Empire, and at the same time, it also showed its strength, and since then no surrounding forces have ever had the idea of a neutral place. And the royal family of the Farraar Empire is the party that has gained the most. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the imperial family eliminated or weakened several of the most powerful families in the country, greatly strengthening the influence of the imperial power, and using this as an opportunity to slowly stabilize the empire.

Since then, it has been up to Bout and Farrar to join forces. A metal chain guardrail was built on one side of this ramp of wisdom light, and if a person with insufficient strength must take this ramp, as long as he climbed the chain and rubbed it down a little bit, it would take four or five hours to 'spend', and there would be a great chance that he would be able to reach the ground smoothly. In this way, although the mortality rate of ordinary people and low-level professionals who follow this path is still very high, it is much better than the nearly 100 percent and 90 percent in the past.

Now extending downward in front of the young 'women' is this ramp that has been covered with the blood and 'flesh' of countless challengers who have been "lured" and "confused" by money. The steep ramp is not flat, and the ramp is full of raised gravel, and the weathered stone 'shows' sharp corners on the ground, like a sharp knife buried in the rock. The lower part of the ramp is slightly better, no longer 'bare' and 'exposed' rocks, but covered with grass, but sometimes the weeds become tangled and form a natural obstacle that causes a lot of trouble.

"Be careful. Pannis took out seven pairs of gloves that had been bought in the Third Flame City and distributed them to everyone, the gloves were made of thick canvas, and a large number of thin wires were woven into the canvas with a special process, which ensured the strength of the gloves to the greatest extent without affecting the dexterity of the fingers, even if the hand held a sharp blade and cut hard, it would take a long time to break. These gloves can be used to match the metal chain on the side of the steep slope to control their downswing speed. While handing out gloves, Pannis said uneasily: "Catherine, you change your combat boots, your boots are embedded with metal at the bottom, which is not suitable for wearing now, you can change into ordinary boots, Vivian and Lina, you two roll up your robes a little, make sure that the hem does not exceed the knees, so as not to affect the movement of your 'legs', Freya, you must not use the anchor bolt on the ankle to slow down for a while, otherwise you will definitely roll down, Eva, you, oh, you are fine, you can still stay in the air." ”

"You've been infected by your eldest sister. Vivian snickered, although she listened very carefully and took every instruction to heart, the young 'girl' of the mage couldn't help but tease: "In less than ten minutes, how many precautions have you already said, hehehe." ”

In fact, ridicule is ridicule, but for Pannis's nagging, the young 'women' have a very strange feeling in their hearts. The 'female' children still clearly remember that just a year ago, whenever faced with a dangerous environment, although Pannis would also remind everyone of the main points and tell how to avoid danger, but almost never said such a lot of content in a verbose manner as in recent months, but more of a reminding spectator after the reminder, only a reminder at the most dangerous time, until recently, Pannis's verbose time has skyrocketed, and this change in attitude has made the young 'females' silently look at it in their eyes and keep it in their hearts.

"Remember the experience I had a while ago on the Whispering Swamp Sogu Tree Net, remember the point of running on it, and the feeling here is similar. Pannis slapped Vivien's soft hat with his hand, and continued to advise in the protest of the young 'girl' of the mage: "Never leave the range of the chain, make sure that you can grab the chain as soon as you raise your hand, if you feel that the speed is a little too fast, hold the chain for the first time and gradually slow down, rather slow down than let the speed get out of control, if you need to slow down, don't hesitate, accelerate too fast when you rush down, and the slightest hesitation may be out of control." Don't be nervous if you really get out of control, as long as you don't leave the chain, just hold on to the chain before you fall, well, if it's too fast, it may hurt your arm, but don't let go, as long as you hold the first impact, the rest will be much easier. Okay, that's basically it, it's best to go down one by one, so as not to have an accident, now I'll go down first, check the firmness of the chain by the way, I don't want to go down halfway, and find that the chain has been rusted and broken, and I can't cry when the time comes. Moore, you are the last in line, and you can take care of it after I go down, and you can deal with any problems. By the way, I will notify you with the flashing of the powerful crystal lamp after I go down, and every time it flashes, it means that the previous person has landed safely, and the next person can set off. ”

"I can't stand you anymore. Moore said with a headache: "I beg you, hurry up, if you keep grinding, the moon is going to come out, really, how can a Legendary-level professional have problems here." ”

"Well, okay, I'll go. Pannis scratched his head, feeling a little annoying to himself, so he coughed dryly, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the edge of the cliff. The young 'women' hurriedly looked around, and through the twilight, they could see that Pannis was almost without any pause running down the sixty-degree hillside, stepping on the solid stone face with every step, and after dozens of seconds, the back had turned into a small black dot in the sight of the young 'women', and after a few seconds, even the small black dot became blurred.

"I'm reminded of Rachel, who is afraid of heights. Although facing the rather dangerous slope, the young 'women' still did not have any fear, but Lina still had the heart to jokingly say: "She will have weak legs at a height of dozens of meters, and if she is pulled here, I guess she will cry on the spot." It's decided, when I go back, tell her how we feel now, and her expression will definitely be very 'fine'. ”

"She's going to hate you to death. Although she couldn't see Pannis, Catherine's eyes were still staring at the ramp uneasily, and she replied casually: "Be careful that she will find a way to get revenge on you." ”

"Haha, I'm not afraid. Lina tilted her head and said, "Besides, I'm just kind enough to share the experience of the trip with her, hehe." ”

Catherine rolled her eyes, ignoring the unsane fellow. After waiting for nearly two more minutes, the light of the crystal energy lamp flashed below. Catherine sighed and said, "He's in the end, it seems that there is no problem, while it's not dark yet, Lina, you can go down, as for Vivian, I'll carry you down in a while." ”

"Sister, have you forgotten, I have a weight loss 'medicine'. Vivien stopped in front of Lina and said, "I can't fall to my death even if I jump directly, let alone run down the chain, I'll come next." ”

"Then you have to be careful. Catherine thought for a moment, but did not stop Vivien's impulse, fastened her backpack for her, and patted her on the head: "Go, come on." ”
