Chapter 325: Conspiracy everywhere 9K, it should be back to normal tomorrow(1/4)
"Dear ladies! There are also dispensable men! Cheer!
Today! Thos from Eredlin City has brought us a wonderful killing.
But this is just the beginning!
Next, he will challenge the two-headed giant, the direclaw, the troll, the Kuo-Tao murloc prince, the beholder! and a mad warrior powerful enough to make any dark elf tremble!
No matter what the final result is, I believe you should be able to see the picture you most long for in your heart.
Yes!
Today's arena is destined to be filled with blood!
May the great Queen Rose bless every brave and fearless dark elf warrior!
Now, let the show begin!"
Accompanied by the passionate roar of the tavern owner Kang Ge, the iron door connected to the arena cage finally opened slowly.
A giant over four meters tall with two heads on his neck was driven out of the room with a whip studded with barbs.
He has very obvious male characteristics. He is naked from the waist up and does not wear any armor or clothes, and the weapon in his hand is limited to a thick and long wooden stick.
But no one would doubt that once this thing is smashed down, it can turn a living person into a fleshy minced meat or meat pie in minutes.
You must know that although the two-headed giant of Faerûn is not very smart, and is dirty and smelly, its fighting power is absolutely unquestionable.
If someone could put full-body plate armor on a two-headed giant, then this behemoth could destroy a fully armed human army, or even an extremely powerful heavy cavalry, by itself.
Because even the charging horses and knights will still be as fragile as a newborn baby in front of them.
The most important thing is that the two-headed giant does not have a lifespan and growth cycle of hundreds of years like other giants.
Their growth rate is very fast, almost not much different from humans, and their life span is about seventy-five years old.
Especially between eight and ten months in the first year of life, they will quickly grow to more than two meters and have the ability to live independently.
Yes!
You read that right!
It only takes eight to ten months for a two-headed giant baby to turn into a terrifying predator in the wild.
The strength attribute of an adult two-headed giant can usually reach an astonishing twenty-three points. When they raise the thick wooden stick in their hands, the best choice is to immediately turn around and run out of its attack range.
Otherwise, any actions such as blocking and parrying are no different from seeking death.
Even if you are holding a strong shield, you will most likely be beaten to death with a stick.
But just when everyone thought that the two-headed giant was the first monster Zuo Si needed to challenge, a group of monsters with vulture heads and giant beetle-like bodies were also driven out of the dark passage.<
/p>
You don't need to ask to know that this is the most distinctive monster in the Underdark and the most easily encountered monster in the wild - the Terrorclaw.
As the name suggests, their most powerful weapon is the sharp, curling claws at the front of their upper limbs.
If you are walking in a dark tunnel where you cannot see your hands, and are accidentally ambushed by a Direclaw, even a strong dark elf warrior will most likely be gutted in an instant.
There is no doubt that six Terrorclaws plus a two-headed giant, this is the first of the next four battles.
Facing so many monsters at once, even a veteran like the legendary ranger Drizzt couldn't help but sweat for Zuo Si.
However, Zuo Si himself didn't have much reaction to this. He threw away the half-broken two-handed sword, bent down to pick up the magic giant sword left after Jodi's death, turned around and charged at Vinal outside the cage.
Fingers crossed.
The latter hurriedly came to the edge of the cage and asked in a slightly nervous tone: "Do you have anything to order?"
"What are the odds of gambling now?"
Zuo Si glanced at the tavern owner not far away with interest and asked, who was trying to please Mistress Keyue.
"If you can survive the first game, you will lose one for one, if you can survive the second game, you will lose three, if you can survive the third game, you will lose five, and if you can survive four games and win the final victory, you will lose twenty." Wei Na.
I told the odds of the bet without thinking.
Hearing this answer, Zuo Si instantly showed an extremely cold and cruel smile: "Very good! Put all the money we have on hand and the things that can be mortgaged, and buy me to win the final victory. Dare to use me as a tool to make money, even
You want to control my life and death? There is a price to pay."
Obviously, Zuo Si had already seen the intention of the tavern owner when he showed his courtesy to Mistress Keyue.
This guy didn't even want him to come out of the arena alive, so he took out so many monsters at the bottom of the box at all costs, just to make a lot of money from them.
Of course, the tavern owner is not the only one who holds similar thoughts, there are also a large number of gamblers who will lose if they buy Zuo Si.
After all, this is the city of Menzobrei, home to 20,000 extremely chaotic and evil dark elves.
They don't care about the life or death of a mere outsider, even if this outsider kills the martial arts master of the third family and attracts the attention of a matron and several high-level priestesses.
They just want to see scenes of cruelty, blood and death, and make a lot of money from gambling.
"As you wish!"
Vinal undoubtedly felt the displeasure revealed in Zuo Si's eyes and tone. Without saying a word, she walked towards the bar where they were busy counting gambling funds and accepting bets from customers.
After a while, she successfully persuaded the other party to convert the entire caravan's goods plus slaves into 100,000 gold coins, and then added some messy magic items, scrolls and cash, and finally completed the entire caravan for 170,000 gold coins.
The biggest bet ever made in the pub.
And this move immediately made the tavern owner who was complacent about seizing the opportunity to make a fortune overnight suddenly become sweaty the next second.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Because he is not a fool and knows what Vinal's high bet means.
This means that Zuo Si has absolute confidence in his own strength!
He is so confident that even when facing terrifying monsters such as the Beholder, the Kuo Tao Murloc Prince and the Berserker, he is sure of winning the final victory.
Similarly, this is also extremely terrible news for him.
Because in his arrangement and calculation, Zuo Si could only survive the second round at best, and then die in the third round.
This is why winning the fourth game will offer exaggerated odds of 1 to 20.
If you don’t open the door higher, how can you attract the bully to take the initiative to take out all the money in his pocket?
But the problem now is that if Zuo Si really comes out of the arena alive, then with the current betting situation, even if the tavern owner goes bankrupt and sells himself into a slave, he will not be able to compensate the bettors with millions of gold coins.
People.
According to the laws of Menzobrebrai, a guy who cannot repay his debts will most likely end up worse than becoming a slave.
"Boss, would you like to..."
Another dark elf male next to him made a very subtle movement to cut his throat.
As representatives of chaotic evil, dark elves pursue the truth that as long as there is no evidence, it is equivalent to nothing happening.
So expecting them to obey the rules honestly is just a daydream.
Taking the arena in this tavern as an example, it is quite common to control the outcome of the battle through some small means.
In fact, many times before the start of the game, some ingredients are added to a glass of wine or a bottle of healing potion to recover from injuries, such as some mushroom powder that can produce hallucinations, or something that can slow down the senses and reactions.
Alchemical poison.
In short, dark elves have terrifying talents that outsiders cannot imagine when it comes to poisoning and plotting against others.
Many of them successfully poisoned their brothers and sisters when they were children.
Of course, if the target is very cautious and refuses to drink anything handed to him by a stranger, then there are a large number of mechanisms hidden under the floor of the arena, which can spray out highly toxic smoke at any time, or it may be enough to kill a person alive.
Burning oil and flames.
The tavern owner only needs to find any reason, such as to make the battle more interesting, to activate these mechanisms to cause trouble for the people inside, or even kill them directly.
Anyway, what most guests want to see is just blood and killing full of sensory stimulation.
As for who killed whom, they don't care.
"Don't act rashly yet! At least wait until the first battle is over. The matron and eldest daughter of the Obloza family are watching the battle, playing tricks in front of several high-level priestesses. I'm worried that it will be self-defeating."
The tavern owner hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up his tempting proposal.
Because he didn't dare to bet on whether the powerful Matron of Keyue would suddenly turn against her after she noticed it.
To be continued...
