Chapter 579 - the start of the competition

Kiel sat in front of the bar counter of the Hearthstone Tavern and counted the gold coins in his money bag. His hand that was counting the money was still slightly trembling.

These were his rewards.

Yesterday, a friend that Kiel knew who worked at the Embassy of the country of steel introduced him to General Fred.

At that time, Kiel was slightly surprised. He was just an ordinary inscription master. Although he was lucky enough to enter the tower of sages, he was the kind of ‘bottom-level talent’who could be driven away at any time, how could he be appreciated by the greatest general of the country of steel.

Kiel wondered if his good friend, Kaos, had ‘promoted’him in front of the general. In the end, when he arrived at the embassy, he found out that the general had hired him to participate in a competition.

When Kiel found out that the content of the competition was the Holy Spirit, he naturally accepted the job without hesitation.

Although his talent in magic was not that great, in terms of playing games, only Karos could beat him in the entire scorching mage tower, that was why he was called the ‘number one assassin’in the circle of Holy Spirits in the scorching mage tower.

“Kiel! Why are you still here? The competition is about to start.”

His friend walked to his back and patted his shoulder.

“This is the reward given to me by the general. Can I withdraw now?”

Kiel put the gold coins into a bag and said to the attendant of the embassy.

“Withdraw… Why? This is not a duel, it’s just a game.”

“But if I lose this competition, people will die!”Kiel lowered his voice as he said this, he looked at the venue of the “Holy Spirit”competition in the Hearthstone Tavern. “You didn’t tell me that Bloody Queen was coming back! Haven’t you heard the rumors about Her Highness Yekana before?”

At first, Qi’er thought that this holy spirit competition was just a small fight. It had only been a few days since Warcraft and Holy Spirit appeared on the magic web, it was still a problem whether there were 10,000 players, and even the venue of the competition was terrifyingly shabby.

However, when they arrived at the venue, the status of the contestants and the audience had already exceeded the scope of ‘small fights’.

Just the Queen of the country of steel, this ‘super heavyweight’character, could only be seen in the audience seats at the top of the country of Steel’s gladiator competition.

Three years ago, Kiel was fortunate enough to watch a ‘Top’Gladiator competition as a spectator. The size of the arena alone was comparable to two Nolan magic arenas, and the audience seats were large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, the cheers in the arena could be heard throughout the entire city.

Of course, the Empress also showed up in the Gladiator match. After all, one of the Gladiators who participated in the match was under her command. In the end, the Knight suffered a crushing defeat in an extremely miserable manner.

That crushing defeat completely disgraced the empress. Since then, Kiel had never heard any news about that Knight again..

Although it was rumored that the Poor Knight packed up his things and went back to his hometown to farm, Kiel firmly believed that the ‘loser’had definitely been executed by the empress.

The Bloody Empress’title was a secret denigration of her by the nobles of the country of steel, but it also reflected the attitude of this woman when dealing with matters.

It was said that before she became the empress, the King had twelve imperial concubines, and now… it was zero.

“Then why don’t you just win!”The attendant said to Kiel.

“Our opponents are from other countries. To be able to win under the witness of the Empress is an honor that only those knights have.”

The attendant’s words caused Kiel to be slightly stunned.

In his life, other than joining the tower of sages, he had really accomplished nothing in other aspects. Although he was born in a noble family, he was also one of the lowest class.

There were too many geniuses in the Sage Tower, so many that Kiel was jealous of those geniuses from the beginning, until now, the Spellcaster Forum had said, ‘it’s actually quite good to be a salted fish like this.’.

“Then… then let’s try it. Magic can’t compete with those guys. I’m still a little confident in the Holy Spirit.”

Kiel had just regained his spirit, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the venue of the competition.

..

The world’s first official Holy Spirit Competition officially began.

Queen Yekana stood in the audience area as a spectator… she resisted the urge to Yawn.

She really could not understand what the content of this competition was. When the organizer, Jose, announced the start of the competition, the contestants from various countries sat around six tables that had accumulated some dust.

The interface of the magic net appeared in front of them. Then, these people sat at the table and held a primary crystal while gesturing something.

Due to the distance between the competition area and the audience area, Empress Yekana, who was slightly short-sighted, could not see clearly what was displayed on the interface of the magic net.

Therefore, in her view, this competition was just a group of people sitting at a wooden table and waving a primary crystal.

“If you want to yawn, just do it. I don’t think anyone will care about it, Ms. Yekana.”

As a referee, Jose strolled around the competition area. Then, he went straight to the audience area, found a chair and sat down. Then, he yawned as if he was giving a demonstration to the queen.

“This match is more boring than I imagined.”Jose rubbed his sleepy eyes and said.

“Then why are you wasting your time with this farce?”

Queen Yekana’s fighting spirit had been aroused by the arrival of the Karshilov family.

No matter what the match was, as long as she could win this family, she would be able to vent her anger.

But now queen Yekana felt like she had punched a slime full of anger. After the initial anger subsided, she only felt a little bored to the point of drowsiness.

“This is just a try. Anyway, I’m sorry that I can’t provide you with a thrilling experience like the gladiator competition for the time being.”Jose glanced at the contestants.

The reason why Jose felt bored was that a large number of the contestants were not qualified.

They were not only newbies playing Holy Spirit, but more importantly, the mentality of a group of contestants was simply not up to the mark.

After some players were defeated by the enemy, they had a negative mentality. Some players even started to fight with their teammates.

This also caused the entire match to look like a farce.

“How much longer will it last?”Empress Yekana asked impatiently.

“About an hour. After all, the competition is based on the elimination system.”

Josh looked at the crowd gathered in the spectator stands. Other than the employers and friends of the contestants, there were only a few people who came to watch the competition.

It seemed that it would take some time for Warcraft and the Holy Spirit to be fully popularized.

He still needed to wait for the skills of these ‘professional players’to break away from the beginner level.

“Anyway, call a reporter first.”Josh sent a text message to the dark elves using the magic web.
