NOVEL NEXT chapter 45
Chapter 45 Let’s go to the Colosseum
Ocelot Colosseum.
It is a contest where martial artists from all over the continent come together to compete to see who is the strongest.
There are many big and small competitions like this, but the Ocelot Coliseum is recognized as the biggest one, and many participants gather to win huge prize money.
The winner can get fame and prize money, and the spectators sweat their hands while watching the hot game.
You can also bet on the finals after the preliminaries, and the winner will receive 10% of the betting proceeds along with the prize money.
Ah, there is one more most valuable right that a winner can enjoy.
It’s such an absurd right.
Many players were seriously injured because there were no rules other than the prohibition of intentional killing.
So, we introduced mana from the last tournament. If the injury is severe, the pinch hitter is forcibly replaced with the player and loses.
“Let me explain it like this. We’ve been protecting the players since last time, so you can play with confidence.”
For reference, pinch hitter spirits are contained in magic tools and can be mass-produced, but they are still expensive.
Unfortunately, adventurers cannot take it to the labyrinth because it requires preparation like a magic circle.
Az carefully raised his hand.
“I know that I will compete. When will it open?”
“Registration for the preliminaries starts in 30 days. The place is Spartia, in the eastern part of the empire.”
“Is it Spartia….”
Alexia said with a slightly depressed face.
Since she is from the Empire, she seems to be thinking about this and that.
“Mercenary State. A country with the world’s most powerful army. The story of leading 300 soldiers and defeating 10,000 monsters is famous.”
“I’m the one who stopped the monsters from the demon cave at the eastern end for a long time.”
Spartia. A country where the king and senate lead politics and the strong are respected.
Surprisingly, the winner of the Ocelot Colosseum gets the right to challenge the King of Spartia.
It was declared that if the challenger defeated the king, he could usurp the throne.
In Spartia, they believe in Barbara, the god of wealth and war, not the sun god. He must be sincere since he made a declaration in the name of that god.
For reference, the last 6 episodes all ended with the king’s victory.
It means that the strongest king can lead the strongest soldiers.
There is also a theory that the Ocelot Colosseum is just a process for Spartia to recruit soldiers.
Some of the winners became Spartan generals or something.
As an aside, Spartan soldiers also participate in the Ocelot Colosseum.
Ordinary martial artists cannot even pass the preliminaries.
There is also a limit on the number of people.
Truly a tournament for the strong.
“Can we win? I don’t have much confidence because I keep fighting monsters… “
“Well, I hope I passed the preliminaries. Of course, even if it is difficult, I will do my best to the best of my ability.”
“What do you mean? Don’t you want the winning prize?”
“Ah, is the competition a bonus?”
At Elza’s words, the master took out the spirit crystal he just showed you.
3 Pieces in a well-decorated box.
“Yes. Everyone who bought this was a merchant from Spartia. Shipping is quite expensive, so you can make a lot of money if you bring it yourself.”
The purpose of this project was to transport the auction items. It would be nice to send Azu and the others to the Ocelot Colosseum.
Az was a little nervous when he heard that it was a martial arts contest, but he didn’t expect it, so his shoulders felt a little lighter.
It was a pity that I didn’t get expectations.
“The period the agent said is within 15 days from today. You have to start without waiting for the competition. Fortunately, if you go there, there are plenty of monster extermination requests, so you should be able to make money in your own way.”
“Isn’t it only good for the owner if he earns money?”
“I wish I could compensate you a little. The King of Genesis must have said so.”
Elsa said something uncharacteristic of a priest.
Does something like the blessing of the King of Creation even exist?
Elsa can use miracles of healing, so it won’t happen at all.
Arzu thought that the master was good at rewarding.
Because he never felt inadequate.
“Calm down for now. Depending on how much you guys make there, I’ll find you a decent place to stay.”
“Then, it would be nice to have a public bath. I want to soak in it.”
“Tools will break if you don’t take good care of them. I’m thinking about that part. You guys, aren’t you tired after coming back from the wind labyrinth raid? Get ready for an expedition. Take enough and it will take ten days. I can’t even use the portal because I’m overseas.”
Az was a little taken aback. She has never taken a long trip. She
When escorting her, she only packed the bare minimum.
“Well, what do we need?”
“I also have to go shopping. No matter how much it is a tool store, even if you can get almost everything, you don’t even have enough clothes to change into.”
“Yes, yes. Now, it’s for the three of us.”
The owner handed Az her coin pouch full of her silver coins.
She was a lot of money for Azu. It was a very generous amount for her to prepare, even for Alexia.
“This, like this….”
“The barrel is big!”
“Then let’s go quickly. May I go?”
“Yes. Don’t buy anything from our store.”
Azu and the others got up and went to the market to buy groceries.
The owner did not follow. It would be difficult for her to keep up with the women’s shopping.
