The 8th Apprentice Town Underground Market, the first floor of the Sky Tower.『
The three Angels came to the underground market, and the first place they went to was the Sky Tower. Both Angel and Nausicaa were interested in participating in the competition to feel the atmosphere of the Sky Tower up close and what kind of competition they were about to face.
The opponent is the purpose of their coming here this time.
There are fifteen floors in the Sky Tower. Each floor has a limited score. Once the score exceeds the limit, you can apply to advance to the next floor. Of course, you can not advance, but if you choose not to advance, even if you defeat your opponent, you can
The contribution point rewards obtained are also minimal. This can be regarded as a protection mechanism for contestants in the Sky Tower Arena.
The interior of the Sky Tower is painted with magic patterns that expand the space, so the venues on each floor are very vast. There are ten arenas on the first floor, all 4x4o in size (unit: meters), and there are spectator seats next to all arenas.
.
Because the auditorium on the first floor is free of charge, almost every arena is crowded with spectators, and most of them are ordinary people. They are basically low-level people who work in underground markets and have no leisure time on weekdays.
, the Sky Tower is their only way of entertainment.
"There are more people on the first floor. Tickets are required for seats on the higher floors. Ordinary people don't have magic crystals, so they can't go upstairs to watch the game. So the upstairs is relatively deserted, but starting from the 13th floor
On the 15th floor, there are more spectators, and these spectators are basically wizard apprentices." After Salum was promoted to wizard apprentice, he had visited the Sky Tower out of curiosity in the past few months, so he knew this place very well.
"Don't think about what's going on upstairs first, let's take a look at the level of the contestants on the first floor." After Angel finished speaking, the three of them found a competitive stage with a smaller number of people and sat in the audience.
The competition hadn't started yet, and the contestants hadn't entered the stage yet. The three of them started chatting casually. After chatting for a while, a rickety old man carrying a box walked up to them.
The old man was a mortal. When Angel was still thinking about why this man stood in front of them, he saw Salum taking out a silver coin and buying a few glasses of juice and fried rice from the box carried by the old man.
Golden dough.
Angel: "..." It turns out he is selling groceries.
"These mortals are quite economical. One silver coin in other places is enough for ordinary people to live for a month. You only need to sell some drinks here to make money." Saleum handed over the juice and fried dough.
The two of them recalled the hardships of living in the Principality of Versailles in the past.
Angel took a bite of the fried dough. He was very satisfied with the soft texture and light taste of milk.
"Is it delicious? I knew you liked it." Salum saw the "happy" expression on Angel's face and immediately raised his face to claim credit.
Angel was about to answer when he heard Nausicaa's words——
"The milk flavor is too strong, which is more suitable for your children's taste. I actually prefer something saltier." Nausicaa took a bite and put it aside.
After hearing this, Angel's expression froze: "It tastes just average. My taste is actually somewhat similar to Nausicaa's."
The three of them were eating and drinking, waiting for the competition to begin.
Not long after waiting, one person walked out from the player aisles on both sides. Both of them were wearing large burqas, covering their faces and figures.
At this time, Angel found a large transparent glass frame hanging directly above the arena. He didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until the contestants came on stage that he was surprised to find that a countdown was flashing in the transparent frame.
and the names and avatars of both contestants.
"Countdown to 3:39"
"The King of Beasts vs. the Immortal Ice Emperor"
Angel was still surprised at first. This transparent frame was already very similar to a holographic tablet to a certain extent. Sky Mechanical City was worthy of being the holy land of mechanical alchemy, and you could see the details of any alchemy product. But he didn't finish his emotion yet.
When he saw the names of the two players, he couldn't help but spit out the drink he just drank.
——Fortunately, there is no one in the seat in front of him.
"What the hell is this?! The King of Beasts, the Immortal Ice Emperor, why is he so famous?" Angel was stunned. Could it be that he entered the wrong arena and accidentally traveled to the legendary wizard's training ground?
At this time, the two people on the arena threw off their burqas in an extremely neutral posture, revealing their true faces.
The King of Beasts is a dark man carrying a huge bow and arrow, with colorful totems on his face, colorful feathers on his head, and wearing only a tiger skin skirt. His dress is a bit like the original Hook Dick, a primitive aborigine, but
The colorful totem on his face and the colorful feather headband make him even more exaggerated than Hook Dick.
The Immortal Ice Emperor is also a male. And in order to highlight the name of "ice", his clothes are all white, with various exquisite and clear accessories. The most important thing is that his head is also white.
However, from the middle of his loose hair, dark roots can be faintly seen. Needless to say, his white hair must have been dyed.
"With such a flashy dress and such a big name, his strength must be pretty good, right?" Angel thought to himself.
At this time, the countdown became o.
The two began to move instantly, and the Immortal Ice Emperor shouted: "Ice and snow!"
After the words fell, he stood still, as if constructing a model of the spell in his mind. Three seconds later, white frost marks appeared on the ground within a range of about two or three meters in front of him.
The King of Beasts did not show any signs of weakness, and did a somersault on the spot. Under everyone's puzzled eyes, he put one hand on the ground and crawled with his head raised.
"Come out, my king!"
After a while, a faint smoke bloomed from the King of Beasts, and then a pure white kitten walked out of the smoke.
"Come on, King! Go and break his ice and snow!" The King of Beasts waved his hand, full of momentum, as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses under his command about to charge into the battle.
The pure white kitten cooperated very well and opened its mouth: "Meow——"
A cooing, crunchy, shy and timid cry.
The three Angels: "..."
After a while, Salum twitched his lips: "It feels so unreliable, why don't we go to other arenas to have a look?"
Nausicaa raised her eyebrows: "Actually, this cat is quite cute."
Angel: "When did Frostfall change its name to Ice and Snow?" Frostfall is an O-level magic. Its effect is similar to "Grease". It summons frost in a small area and hinders others' progress. Two similar low-level magics.
, the vast majority of wizard apprentices choose greasy spells, because greasy spells can at least ignite and cause burning damage.
The three of them each had complaints in their hearts, but the ordinary people watching all applauded, and some even shouted in cooperation: "Go, King, tear the arrogant Ice Emperor into pieces, and pull him down from the supreme throne!"
No one objected to the shameful words, but the atmosphere became even more heated.
"Shall we escape?" Saleum asked again.
"Whatever. With the strength of these two people, I can defeat them with just my fists and kicks, without any weapons." Nausicaa said, stroking the soft sword on her waist.
Salum looked at Angel, but Angel shook his head: "Wait a minute." Then he continued to focus on the arena.
At this time, the white kitten had already broken through to the "ice and snow" range. The Immortal Ice Emperor snorted coldly and muttered for a while before a slow ice blade came through the air.
The white kitten was very fast and dodged the ice blade. At this time, the Immortal Ice Emperor suddenly jumped out. The white kitten could not turn around in mid-air. The Ice Emperor kicked it down suddenly, and the kitten fell into the "ice and snow".
Stopped wailing.
"Ah! My king!" The king of beasts sighed in a voice that was almost an aria, and rushed to the white kitten. He hugged the kitten tenderly, with a look of distress on his face.
The audience was also affected by this scene, and some quietly wiped away tears.
The King of Beasts shed tears: "I surrender. The strength of the Immortal Ice Emperor is indeed extraordinary."
The Immortal Ice Emperor snorted, "You know what's going on." Then he turned around and left with his head held high.
A row of words was also displayed on the hanging glass screen: "Immortal Ice Emperor, victory!"
The three Angels: "..."
Angel: "I regret it, let's go."
Saleum covered his face with his hands: "Leave quickly, I feel ashamed if I stay here. Fortunately, no one knows us."
…
The three of them changed several arenas on the first floor of the Sky Tower to watch.
There are "Spell King vs. Dragon Flame", "Invincible War King vs. Thunder God", "Eternal Sage vs. Little Sword Master"...
Angel found that each of these apprentices had impressive names, but their abilities seemed to be at the level of ordinary first-level apprentices, and even some ordinary people who had practiced martial arts could defeat them.
"I think we have entered a fake Sky Tower." Salum said silently after watching these games.
"The last time I came over to watch the competition, the contestants didn't seem to be that good. Why did their level suddenly drop so much?" Nausicaa said with confusion.
Angel: "Have you forgotten, Magic Island?"
Angel's reminder made them suddenly realize. This time, most of the wizard apprentices went to Magic Island to try their luck, so only the leftover crooked melons and jujubes were left in the Sky Tower.
Moreover, the incident on the Magic Island also led to the demise of hundreds of elite apprentices. It is estimated that in a short period of time, all the contestants in the Sky Tower will be this kind of wild seedlings.
Thinking of this, Nausicaa's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think this is an opportunity,"
"Opportunity?" Salum looked over and saw Nausicaa gearing up, and said in surprise: "Miss Nausicaa, do you want to..."
Nausicaa nodded: "Yes, I want to go to the tower now! I think I can try to rush it in the next few days. As much as I can rush, just save the cost of the magic pattern skin scroll."
She originally planned to spend money to pave the way, but now that she has such a great opportunity, how could she not want to take advantage of it.
Angel also agreed with this: "I think it's good. With Nausicaa's combat power, at least there is no opponent on the first floor."
Therefore, they did not want to continue watching the game, but accompanied Nausicaa to the Sky Tower management office on the first floor and asked the management staff to register Nausicaa.
