Chapter 399: The Duel Tournament Begins! Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Cowardly Squirrel

Roland Arena.

The huge amphitheater was in a frenzy and the people's cheers were like a tsunami.

Witnessing the heroic figure of the Sun King, the atmosphere in the arena was high and the citizens gave enthusiastic cheers to this wise king!

Education, medical care, culture, diplomacy... With his great talent and strategy, the Sun King has made achievements in many fields, making the Kingdom of Roland the most powerful country in the Western Continent.

This duel tournament is the best opportunity to show the strength of Roland to the world.

"How does one say that..." Yeats said slowly, his eyes thoughtful, "Even the poorest tramp on the streets of Paris would involuntarily straighten his chest when he thought of Roland's wealth."

"The wealth of the Roland people is my wealth." The black cat curled up in the velvet sofa, wagging its tail and said lazily, "The wealth of the world... will be mine sooner or later!"

Mammon, the god of greed, does have the confidence to say this, but it seems absurd for a kitten to say this.

Ye Zhi lifted Mammon by the scruff of the neck, placed it on his lap, and stroked its soft hair.

"Hey, I'm warning you, this is not included in the familiar contract... What is this?" The black cat looked at the box of aluminum cans that Ye Zhi took out in surprise.

"Strawberry jelly, would you like to try it?" Yeats opened the lid of the can.

As early as the Roman Empire, the Romans had begun to use gelatin to make jelly, but at that time the jelly materials were usually salty, such as fish jelly. It was not until the Middle Ages that jelly made from fruits became a court dessert.

The cans invented by Yeats have spread throughout the Midgard Continent, and aluminum cans are no longer a novelty.

But to the old guy in hell, there really are some strange and weird things in the world.

The black cat came forward curiously, lay in Yeats' arms, licked the jelly with its tongue, shuddered, opened its eyes wide in surprise, stood up its ears, and then began to lick the jelly with a grunt.

Ye Zhi took the opportunity to rub Mammon's head, enjoying the warm touch, and nodded with satisfaction.

The squirrel looked at the black cat Mammon, who had unknowingly become a cute mascot, and thought:

"Ye Zhi is really like the reincarnation of a godly chef! Just one dessert makes the god of greed obey him!"

Outside the box, after King Roland appeared, the opening ceremony performance began.

The fight between gladiators and owlbears, the dance of hundreds of desert Isu fox girls, the large-scale fire magic fireworks show put on by the Paris City Mage Association... Each show cost a lot of money, and only the wealthy Roland Kingdom and the ambitious Sun King could afford such expenses.

In contrast, the scale of Sister Teresa's coronation ceremony was a bit shabby. The Golden Lion Kingdom was in civil strife and piracy, and the national treasury did not support Teresa's use of a grand ceremony.

While enjoying the performance, Ye Zhi tasted the juicy grapes in the box and felt the pleasant airflow brought by the rune array in the room. In a trance, he thought he was watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

"It was just like the opening ceremony of the Olympics." Gray expressed what Yeats was thinking.

Yeats looked at Gray in surprise, and then realized that the Olympic Games had existed before the Christian era. They were originally held to worship Zeus, the chief god of Greece. This world also had the tradition of the Olympic Games.

In the last show, the court dragon trainer beside King Roland released an adult red dragon, causing the audience to exclaim.

The Golden Lion Kingdom only has one peak six-ring war beast that protects the country, but in the Roland Kingdom, there are definitely more than one six-ring war beasts, and there are even professional dragon trainers in the palace.

Yeats suddenly realized the gap in national strength between the two countries... In fact, the rise of the Golden Lion Kingdom in the plot also had to wait until the Golden Lion's shipping industry developed and defeated the Invincible Fleet of the Kingdom of Castile, and then it became a powerful empire.

The red dragon circled the arena, casting a huge shadow, before landing in the center of the venue with a "boom" and spewing blazing flames towards the golden brazier in the center of the arena!

Sau——

The flame lit up, symbolizing the official opening of the duel tournament! The whole audience cheered, and the opening match was about to begin. Ye Zhi suddenly noticed a pair of expectant eyes.

From the highest point of the viewing stand, Louis seemed to be able to see Yeats' figure, giving him a friendly smile.

Hildes' voice called back Yeats' attention.

"You're going to be on the stage in half an hour, aren't you, Yeats?"

A total of sixteen strong men from all over the continent gathered in this duel conference, and two duels were held every day.

Since the duel between six-ring masters can last from half an hour to half a day, the schedule is reasonable.

Ye Zhi was the player competing in the first round and had already known his opponent in advance.

"I will go on stage soon," Ye Zhi said, "and duel with the dwarven beast tamer... I think his name is... Baruch Ironmane."

There were three masters from the dwarf tribe, who came as a group to participate in this continent-wide duel. Baruk Ironmane was a strong one among them, and was famous for his skill in controlling the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of the most powerful predators in the history of the Middle-earth Continent, has strong muscles and powerful jaws, and is known as the "Beast Dragon Tyrant".

The habitat is mostly in the desolate mountains in the north of the continent, adjacent to the Ironmane Tribe living at the bottom of the mine. The Deviljho Rex is regarded as a symbol of "killing" by the dwarves!

Baruch Ironmane tamed three Tyrannosaurus Rex by himself, one of which was an emperor-level monster 'Tyrannosaurus King', who once won the first place in the dwarf tribal meeting.

Dwarves have been famous for their forging skills since ancient times. However, Baruch Ironmane, who came from a forging family, developed a unique way of taming beasts. With the help of the Tyrannosaurus Rex under his command, he became a legendary figure in the Ironmane tribe!

"Be careful, Ye Zhi, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a being that can compete with the ancient dragon lizards!" Gray reminded.

"It's okay. I'll let Zuanya taunt the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then it won't be able to hit my face." Ye Zhi said casually.

Zuanya's heart skipped a beat and the melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

So I'm just a taunting meat shield? "I'll be crushed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Diamond cried bitterly.

"You are responsible for attracting firepower, and I am responsible for decapitation. Kill the tamer directly... This is our tactic, it's decided!"

Yeats grabbed the little squirrel and took it out of the box and headed for the arena passage.

"Stop it!" Zuanya said with tears in his eyes, "You didn't even ask me!"

"Do you want to be a cowardly squirrel?!" Ye Zhi glared and tried to provoke him.

"I'm not scared! I just think this kind of opportunity should be left to newcomers, like Mammon... Let go! I can't breathe!"

Hildrede and Gray looked at Yeats who was walking away with the squirrel, then looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Is Diamondback really a mythical beast that survived the First Age? Why does it look so unreliable?" Gray expressed doubt.

"Maybe he suffered a severe blow before." Xilude speculated.

Mammon yawned and said, "Ratatosk is not famous for its fighting ability, but it is good at fanning the flames... Of course, its taunting skills are first-rate, otherwise it would have caused the mythical beasts to fight each other!"

**"Eat more, little darlings, so you can make a big scene on stage later!"

The underground bunker and lounge were filled with armor, copper boxes and training stakes.

Three Deinocrat Rex bent their heads and waists, white air spewing out of their nostrils. They tore at the whole bull that the dwarf had held high, gnashing their teeth and sucking blood. Their huge heads colliding with each other, their eyes full of violence.

The huge body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex almost filled the entire room, and its scaly head hit the dome, causing lime to ooze out. The horrible feeling of oppression made the arena manager swallow hard with shock in his eyes.

Three Tyrannosaurus Rexes, not making any noise! ​​They were actually willing to obey the orders of this dwarf! It was incredible!

Blood foam splashed on the dwarf's face. He wiped his face with his arm, blew on his iron-gray beard, and laughed: "Wow, everyone looks very energetic! Very good. Later, teach that human named Ye Zhi a lesson!"

The arena manager hissed and looked carefully, only to find that the three Tyrannosaurus Rex were of different sizes.

These turned out to be two male Tyrannosaurus and one female. The largest male Tyrannosaurus had almost dark gray scales and looked particularly ferocious, while the scales of the other two were bluish-gray.

According to rumors, Baruch Ironbeard picked up a Tyrannosaurus egg and spent eighty years and various resources to raise it into a Tyrannosaurus King.

Dwarves generally live longer than humans, but at most they can only live for about two hundred years. Baruch is currently one hundred and twenty years old, which is a sixty-year-old man among humans, but he still maintains the passion and vitality of a middle-aged man.

During a hunt in the wild, Baruch accidentally discovered that his Tyrannosaurus Rex had found a mate. The two Tyrannosaurus Rex mate and hatched a new Tyrannosaurus Rex. In this way, the dwarf Baruch tamed three Tyrannosaurus Rex by himself and became a legend of the Ironbeard Tribe! As a fellow human, the arena manager couldn't help but cheer for Ye Zhi in his heart, but he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Duke Honeysuckle was chosen by both gods, so he shouldn't be afraid of these three Tyrannosaurus Rex, right?"

"roar--"

At this moment, the young Tyrannosaurus suddenly roared, causing the arena manager to tremble with fear and turn pale.

The dwarf Baruch soothed the Devil Rex's head and laughed, "Haha, it can't wait any longer! Well then, Marquis, I will ride you into battle!"

"Marquis?" the arena manager asked in a trembling voice.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The dwarf Baruch pointed at a smaller male Tyrannosaurus and said proudly, "Look, this Deinosaurus is called Marquis!"

"This one is called the Duchess."

"And this one!" The dwarf Baruk raised his voice in an exaggerated tone, standing in front of the iron-gray scaled, arrogant Tyrannosaurus Rex, waving his hands and dancing, "Call me Duke Tyrannosaurus! Duke, are you excited? You are about to duel with the strongest among humans, the Chosen One of the Gods of Art, are you happy!?"

The middle-aged Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at the beast with disdain, and suddenly let out two streams of white air. His eyes flashed with ferocity, his fangs bared, and he let out a dull, low roar.

The dwarf Baruk seemed to understand what the Tyrannosaurus said. His eyes gradually became serious and he said:

"Yes, that human is very strong, very strong... But you have to believe in the strength of our entire family!!"

The arena manager was speechless. Well, you think of yourself as a member of the Tyrannosaurus family!

At this time, the communication spell sounded, and the arena manager's eyes lit up. He received the news that Ye Zhi had already appeared on the stage, and turned around and said, "Mr. Baruch, the duel time is about to come, please come on stage!"

**On a deck chair in the stands shaded by red curtains, the elegant and graceful blond Sun King was leaning against it.

Violet, the leader of the Dragon Eagle Knights, stood beside the Sun King, gazing at his focused profile and feeling deeply moved.

This is the first time I see His Majesty care so much about others!

"Violet," Louis suddenly said, "how did you handle the matter you were asked to do?"

Violet was startled and said quickly, "Your Majesty, I have privately contacted several leaders of the Thieves' Guild and ordered them to encourage their subordinates to organize a split within the guild..."

The report was well-organized, and faintly revealed the work of a certain man.

Louis raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise, “Is this your idea?”

"I dare not hide it. I asked the Duke of Honeysuckle to give me some advice, and he gave me this trick..."

"That's what I thought." Louis chuckled, "It's his strategy... then it's understandable."

Violet blushed and continued, "Your Majesty, the president of the Food Association came to the palace this morning and invited you to attend the food festival to worship the god of agriculture. In your opinion..."

The Food Festival is held in September or October every year. The Kingdom of Roland attaches great importance to food culture, and successive Roland kings have the tradition of attending this festival.

Coincidentally, the duel conference was held, and a large number of foreign friends came to Paris, making the celebration atmosphere even more intense.

"Let's talk about it later." Louis put his hand on his cheek, leaned back in his chair, and said lightly, "See if I'm in the mood."

Violet thought to herself, it depends on whether Duke Yeats advances! If he loses in the first round, His Majesty will definitely not have the leisure and elegance to attend the celebration!

At this moment, Violet was slightly startled, only to hear deafening cheers from the audience!

A tall figure slowly emerged from the entrance passage. The silver-haired boy was wearing a silver-white robe. He was elegant and calm, handsome and extraordinary, which attracted warm applause! "The reputation of the Duke of Honeysuckle is really extraordinary." Violet couldn't help but say.

"The legendary figure of the Golden Lion Kingdom is dueling with the Tyrannosaurus Master of the Iron Beard Tribe..." Louis tapped the armrest with his fingers, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "The battle should be over soon."

Boom, boom, boom!

The rumbling footsteps made the ground tremble with every step. In the dark passage, a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared with a ferocious face and raised its head to roar.

"roar--"

Sitting astride the back of the Deviljho, a dwarf with a gray beard, wearing a miner's hat and holding a flintlock rifle, smiled enthusiastically and said, "Hey! Lord Chosen, have you seen my Deviljho! I have two more powerful ones!"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I also have a powerful magical pet."

"Oh!" the dwarf's eyes widened. "Let me see, let me see!"

The space fluctuated, and a powerful aura suddenly filled the air.

The dwarf Baruch was stunned as if he was facing a great enemy, and said in confusion: "Wait, this is a... Demon King Squirrel?!"

The Demon Squirrel is a well-known squirrel-like monster. Although it is small and cute, it is a terrifying predator with a king-level level. Some missionaries claim that this squirrel is a demon soaked in the blood of Satan! "No, no, the Demon Squirrel is black, and yours is just a red squirrel!" The dwarf Baruch scratched his head, "How strange, I can't recognize the species!"

Zuanya's body was stiff. Facing the huge Tyrannosaurus, his momentum weakened. He turned around and looked at Ye Zhi.

As if to say, do I really want to fight this guy head-on?

Ye Zhi raised his eyebrows, indicating that he would act according to the plan, otherwise he would have no dinner!

Zuanya took a deep breath, hooked his finger at the Devil Tyrannosaurus, spoke in human language, and taunted:

"If you have the guts, come over here!"

The whole audience was silent.

In the stands, the Sun King, who was more dazzling than the beauties in oil paintings, chuckled.

The next moment, the Deinocrat Rex's eyes turned red, and it rubbed its hind paws on the ground, and rushed towards the Diamondback like a wild horse!

"Huh! Calm down!" The dwarf Baruch exclaimed, then immediately stabilized his body and laughed, "Oh my God, don't be calm, just go ahead!"

After that, two powerful space fluctuations surged on the field again, and the figures of two Tyrannosaurus Rex gradually appeared in the white light!

Zuanya was afraid before the fight even started, so he turned around and jumped onto Ye Zhi's shoulder, shouting, "Ye Zhi, beat it up!"

Facing the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was out of control and charging recklessly, a large silver bow with moonlight gradually appeared in Ye Zhi's hand.

In an instant, the bow was drawn and the arrow was drawn. The brilliant moonlight instantly condensed and turned into a silver light cannon that blasted forward! Combat Skill: Bow of the Moon Goddess!
