Whether it is the registration fee of adventurers or the entrance fee of ordinary people, it can all be used to recoup some of the cost of building the competition venue.
According to Annuo's plan, during the auditions, all they need to do is build a large number of arenas in the square and hire some experts to act as referees.
Some priests are arranged around to treat any injured participants during the competition at any time.
During the audition stage, the top fifty in each rank will be selected.
The competition for the top ten in the region will then be held at the competition venue.
Fees will be charged at this time.
Ordinary people can watch the previous auditions at will, which can be regarded as accumulating popularity in advance.
The town of Gruul.
A gray-haired boy with tattered clothes and a dirty face rode into the town on a fat wild boar.
Rajil found a tavern and after washing up, a handsome young man appeared in the bronze mirror.
A strong body, a resolute face, and bright eyes.
Rajil has changed a lot compared to who he was a few months ago.
In the eyes of his neighbors, he is the child of someone else's family.
He is his mother's pride!
Rajil ate something in the inn and ordered a lot of food for the wild boar.
This food is enough for Rajil to eat for several days!
However, the wild boar quickly swallowed the food.
Moreover, it looked like it was not full.
The little wild boar is only one meter long and sixty centimeters tall.
The two ten-centimeter-long sharp fangs add a bit of deterrence to it.
Ragiel felt a little pained and ordered another 2 silver coins of food for the wild boar. He patted the pig's head and said, "You are such a big eater. If you keep going like this, you will eat me out of money!"
"Hum, hum!"
The wild boar was concentrating on eating, as if it was still not satisfied.
"No, I'll just have to hunt outside for Little Gray from now on!"
Rajil looked at the little wild boar that lowered its head and rubbed its legs, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Let's go to the guild and find out what happened recently?"
Rajil took Xiao Hui and walked towards the guild.
After arriving at the guild, Ragiel discovered that there were very few adventurers here.
"Rather, there are almost no adventurers left!"
Rajil scratched his head, not knowing what was going on.
He had been in the Aie Mountains for the previous half month.
Not only did he miss the dragon hunting team, but he also had no idea what had happened in the past few days.
After talking with the receptionist in the guild for a while, Rajil, who understood the situation, immediately rushed out of the Adventurer's Guild.
He had originally planned to rest for a night, but now he rode directly on the wild boar and headed towards Valkham.
"I almost missed such an important competition. No. 1 in the world! It just so happens that I have just been upgraded to level 15, so I can take this opportunity to compete with other second-level masters!"
Xiao Hui: "Hehehehe!"
"You said that we should not only participate, but also get into the top ten to win prizes? Hahaha, then let's aim to be in the top ten!"
Xiao Hui: "Hehehehe!"
"Well, Xiao Hui, let's work hard together!"
…
The royal city of Thordar.
While the guild was preparing for the competition, Annuo was coordinating behind the scenes while learning the [Fusion] skill.
Three days before the competition started, a huge martial arts competition hall was built in a corner of the outer city under the organization of Tester and Xue Feibai.
The total area is the size of three football fields and accommodates 50,000 spectators.
In order to ensure practicality, refinement and beauty, Tester even spent a lot of money to hire a large number of dwarf and elf craftsmen.
For this purpose, Tester also requested that he take 70% of the ticket revenue from this game!
Annuo directly gave him 80%, and the Adventurer's Guild only wanted 20%.
In this competition, Annuo didn't contribute anything except some ideas.
The biggest gain for the guild this time was actually the spread of the Adventurer's Guild's reputation and the increase in the number of adventurers.
According to statistics, the number of professionals who registered to become adventurers at the Adventurer's Guild in the Royal City increased by tens of thousands in just a few days!
Tester is considered a high-quality partner.
Letting partners get some of their money back is also for better cooperation next time.
And the whole process was not smooth sailing.
The nobles of the aristocratic faction didn't know what Test and the Adventurer's Guild were trying to do.
But it's right to trip someone up.
During the construction of the competition venue, the construction team often encountered problems.
Fortunately, Test was well prepared and was able to resolve the problem in time every time.
But the eldest prince and the nobles of the aristocratic faction kept making small moves.
Finally, the King's Guards went to the construction site to provide security, allowing the project to proceed smoothly.
But this also aroused the eldest prince's jealousy towards Test.
He secretly sent a group of powerful subordinates to participate in the game with the aim of finding a way to disrupt the game.
"Annuo, Anuo, as the president of the Adventurer's Guild, will you participate in this competition?
Does the competition require real-name registration?
You said, if the contestants wear masks, will there be any problem? "
An Nuo, who was practicing in a manor, heard the question from the side, sighed, and said: "Your Highness Selina, are you free recently?"
"Huh? What's your attitude? You are living in my private estate now!"
Selina frowned, put her hands on her waist and said to An Nuo: "I am the real owner of this manor!"
“I will definitely be involved.”
An Nuo opened one eye and looked at Selina, and said speechlessly: "And anyone who is an adventurer can participate in this competition.
If you really decide to participate, I advise you to say hello to His Highness Tester and let him make preparations in advance.
After all, accidents are likely to happen during the competition, and with preparation, your Highness' safety can be guaranteed!"
"What? I, a princess of a kingdom, will participate in your competition? Stop kidding me!"
After hearing what An Nuo said, Selina turned her head to look at the green plants next to her, fanning her ears with her right hand, her eyes a little evasive.
An Nuo shook his head and stopped talking.
The day before yesterday, when Selina went to the Adventurer's Guild wearing a rose-patterned mask and signed up for the competition under the name of Black Rose, An Nuo happened to be there.
Although that mask is a magical device that can block sensory detection.
But he still couldn't escape the [Five Visions All-Powerful].
An Nuo recognized her at a glance.
"Forget it, I'd better tell Tester later!"
Annuo no longer paid attention to Selina.
The latter stayed for a while, felt bored, and changed into training clothes, and started practicing shooting nearby.
After all, she was preparing to participate in this competition secretly, and Selina felt that she should try her best and not embarrass the royal family.
The champion of the second level must be hers no matter what!
An Nuo continued to practice the [Fusion] skill.
In recent times, he has felt that this skill is just one step away from perfection.
According to Annuo's latest understanding, if he wants to [merge] with the summoned creature, he must be of one mind.
For example, Asa is a warrior, and Annuo also has to imagine himself as a warrior charging into battle.
The leader of the lizardmen is a wizard, so Annuo has to imagine himself as a wizard wielding a staff and releasing the power of thunder.
Only in this way can you establish a connection and merge with the summoned creature!
…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the auditions!
After more than half a month of fermentation, on the day of the competition, the streets surrounding the hundreds of audition arenas were packed with people, businessmen, nobles, and others who had come to watch the competition.
There are more than 20,000 adventurers of all ranks preparing to participate in the competition!
This is the number of participants after excluding the largest number of first-level adventurers!
Before this, the total number of adventurers in the royal city was only over ten thousand.
These extra people are naturally the mercenaries who did not choose to register as adventurers before, as well as professionals from the surrounding cities that do not have adventurer guilds - professionals who came from the western and northern borders!
This is because time is too tight.
Otherwise, if professionals from other countries or even other races hear the news, they will most likely rush over to join in the fun!
Even the king himself did not expect that the competition organized by the Test United Adventurer's Guild would be so grand.
So much so that at the opening ceremony, at Test's suggestion, he appeared on stage and said a few words, which aroused tsunami-like cheers from tens of thousands of people.
If you don’t know, you might think today is the kingdom’s founding day!
After everything is ready, the auditions officially begin.
