Chapter 263 - Warm-up Match (2) (2/2)
“No problereeestured to so by the corridor Shortly after, Old Walker stepped in with a face of doubt and helplessness
“Kid, what exactly are you planning that you gotta act soto find me for but you didn’t lethow those little fellas would perform…”
“Don’t worry, that’s not a problem, old ruuys ready?”
“Yes They’re a trustworthy bunch and everything is according to your instructions Alright, it’s time for you to let me in on it”
“Of course”
Rhode nodded in satisfaction and afterwardshis tone
“After the ins in awhile, I need you to…”
Rhode spoke softer and softer At the saly wrinkled After Rhode finished his sentence, Old Walker’s face was filled with astonishment
“Kid, what exactly are you up to? What in the world…”
“Since this is just a warm-up, we should make them learn the various situations Don’t worry about it; no one will know its you if I don’t mention about it Go on, old man, now is the ti trouble for them… This competition is also a warm-up match for you as well”
“Eh?”
Old Walker shot Rhode a dubious look, not knohat the latter meant Then, he turned around and left Rhode shi+fted his attention to the entrance of the colosseueas filled with pitch-black blood stains This was once the most popular venue within Deep Stone City, but it had been vacant for a long time Activities like beast battles came from the North and once swept up a storon However, due to its goriness, it was eventually stopped and the colosseums built for such battles were therefore abandoned If it weren’t for the warm-up matches, no one would ever recall this place
But, this time, city owner Klautz was rather supportive Not only did he approve of all applications from the Mercenary association, but he had also sent h clean up of this broken establishment After this news spread, many civilians flocked over in anticipation
Although this was only an ordinary competition and was far from the lively crowd in the Midsummer Festival, most civilians were still interested as they lacked the time and finances to travel into Golden City and participate in the Midsummer Festival Moreover, they weren’t too interested in the battles between guilds coroups Since this coanised by the Mercenary association and within their own city, the whole Deep Stone City instantly turned lively and bustling with noises The whole colosseum was filled up with people This scene surprised the Sereck and the elderly president They considered the possibility of organising such events every year to trigger growth in Paphield’s financial state and the Mercenary association’s reputation…
As Rhode exited the passageway, he clearly witnessed the entire colosseu fla with noises Apart fro coht of such a crowd It was still alright for Marlene, but Lize and the others were already as pale as a sheet This ht be the first time they encountered such a scene…
“Yo, Master, you’re finally here”
Gillian waved to Rhode and held onto the shaking Lapis at the same time If it weren’t for Gillian, perhaps Lapis would’ve already escaped due to extrelanced at his mercenaries Everyone appeared fine At least they weren’t in as terrible astate as Lapis
However, hoell could they perform under pressure?
Rhode narrowed his eyes at this thought
le horns sounded deeply and echoed throughout the underground Everyone stuck their chest out and stood up straight
The test was about to begin
