C323 Gambling (1/2)
”Big brother, I actually don't want you to fight in a gambling match. Gambling matches were not everywhere, and the entire Woodjade Kingdom only existed in three places, Blue Lotus City was one of them.
The battle was too dangerous. To put it bluntly, he would be betting his life on the Spirit Stone. If he won, then there was no need to talk about it anymore. If he lost, then he would die. Even if our lives are good, the best outcome would be us being crippled. ”
When they thought of the gambling match, their expressions became extremely serious.
As a mercenary, his mental fortitude was definitely much better than the disciples of large families and sects. Even so, with such an expression on their faces, it didn't take them much to guess how dangerous the gambling match would be.
”Can you tell me something?”
The Western State map was the key to Yun Fan's return. If given the chance, he definitely would not give up.
”The gambling match is actually a method for the Woodjade Kingdom's royal family to manage the kingdom. The fact that there were no sects in Woodjade Kingdom meant that many great clans had to go against them.
Even though the royal family was the most powerful, they were afraid that the other clans would join forces with them. Therefore, the royal family thought about the gambling battle. After all, there were many poor Cultivator and many of them would risk their lives to gamble for the sake of the Spirit Stone.
On one hand, it can reduce the chance these Cultivator will join other clans, and on the other hand, it can subdue some of the more powerful Cultivator s. ”
Yun Fan nodded his head. It was not easy to manage a kingdom.
For example, if a few second-rate sects were to join hands, they would definitely be able to overthrow the royal family. Actually, most of the reason why Ling Wu expressed goodwill towards him was also for the future of the royal family.
”The gambling battles are divided into several levels. Different levels will result in different rewards. However, the higher the level, the greater the danger.
Since it was a gambling battle, when choosing a rank, the lowest one had to fight with Cultivator of the same level. And the person being challenged is someone who bullies the weak, so even if he wins, the reward would be only a tenth of the challenger's. ”
Looking at the two's serious expressions, Yun Fan asked curiously: ”Does this mean that other than taming the Cultivator, the royal family doesn't have any other benefits?”
”How is that possible? It seemed that regardless of the outcome, the royal family had to pay for it. But Big Bro has forgotten that very few of these Cultivator who made the bet survived. As long as they died, all of their belongings would belong to the royal family. ”
Yun Fan finally understood.
This was an open robbery!
This kind of robbery was something people were willing to do even though they knew the consequences. Others could not find a reason to criticize him either.
”Let's go take a look!”
The two of them naturally had no objections. In any case, it wasn't as if they were participating. What Yun Fan did not expect was that the gambling match would actually be held right beside Treasure Hall.
The style of the building and the Treasure Hall were very similar, it was just that the center of the sky well was not a flat ground, but instead a slightly protruding stage.
Around the ring was a powerful formation, making the ring seem like a cage. Right now, there were two people battling inside the cage, but they weren't very strong.
One of them was a youth at the seventh level of the Refinement Realm with wounds all over his body. One of them was a man at the ninth level of the Origin Gathering Stage. He held a large saber in his hand and had a fierce look on his face.
An ear-splitting shout came from the surrounding floors. Many of them were even more excited than the two on the stage.
”The gambling battles are not just for those who are fighting inside, those outside can also place their bets. According to the rumors, the biggest source of income was the one on the outside.
