Chapter 338: Arena Opening Battle (Part 2)

In Salin's city, the currency issuance is the latest, and now there are banks, but a large amount of Qinyin currency is the main carrier of transactions.

Salin opened an arena and had done a lot of publicity, and the price of the ticket was finally set on twenty-five copper coins.

The price is still a bit high, but it is already a range that ordinary people can afford. The lowest-level people can eat a meal with a copper coin, usually half a black bread and a bowl of corn. Qin Yin's price is extremely low, and this kind of black bread is actually mixed with a lot of things to feed animals.

For ordinary ordinary people, they only need ten copper coins for each meal.

Twenty-five copper coins are almost the food expenses for an adult every day. For poor people, spending a day of meals to watch the game is a bit unrealistic. However, there are tickets in Salin's arena, and the magic number on the ticket can be bets. Twenty-five copper coins are not only tickets, but also a lottery ticket for gambling.

One ticket can be seen for fifteen games. If you guess correctly in each game, you will get a hundred gold coins. If you guess correctly in 14 games, you will have ten gold coins. If you guess correctly in 13 games, you will be a gold coins.

A gold coin is equivalent to one thousand copper coins. By comparison, you will find that the investment in this ticket is very small. Once you guess once, even if you guess thirteen games, it is equivalent to the ticket price of forty games.

In fact, it is extremely difficult to guess thirteen games, but no one except the magician understands how difficult it is. What ordinary people can calculate is only multiples between one hundred gold coins and twenty-five copper coins.

That is four thousand times. Four thousand times profit can easily destroy the minds of ordinary people.

The first opening game of the arena, there is only one copper coin ticket, and everyone only needs to guess the top three correctly to get a silver coin income. The city lord said that this is to let everyone understand the rules and be familiar with the betting methods. When the arena is fully operational, the city lord will provide corresponding information for the sixteen people in the finals every week to let everyone judge who will win.

These sixteen people are the winners of the small arena every week, and the small arena also accepts bets, but the bonus is half smaller.

The opening match was not preliminaries in the small arena, but directly in the big arena, the city lord will personally host it.

The tickets were sold out completely, but in fact it was not enough for Salin to promote the money spent. 50,000 copper coins were only equivalent to fifty gold coins, Salin was losing money to make a name for himself.

The nobles now also think that they will make money by setting up arenas, but Salin has just distributed the profits of the minerals and magic cores to them, so these nobles have not tried to get a share here.

In July, Salin's Arena began its first game on July 1st.

The arena, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, is named the Metatlin Central Gladiator. The arena has twenty-four passages. The center of the arena is a huge open space of 600 times 600 meters. The center of the open space is a stone ground, surrounded by uneven land, sand, and several deep pits that pour water.

The surrounding stands are stairs, all of which are designed by Elena, which is very spectacular. The outer periphery of the oval arena is thirty meters high, like a closed town. Hundreds of metal pillars are curled strangely, forming complex geometric shapes, extending towards the center of the arena.

Above the stands, colored glass is laid on the metal brackets, forming a semi-enclosed ceiling. Even in heavy rainy weather, spectators can watch the competition under the ceiling.

In the north of the arena, there is a convex platform. The platform is designed in the Yunliu style, which is simple and elegant. There are semi-enclosed seats on both sides of the platform, which are seats for the nobles, which can be distinguished from the civilians and can be closer to watching the competition.

In fact, even civilians will not be unable to see clearly because the distance is too far. Projected magic circles are designed on those semi-enclosed ceiling metal brackets, which can amplify the competition scenes on the ground and form virtual images in the air. Erinno also designed a magic circle with amplified sound, so that every audience can clearly hear the intense sounds bursting out during the battle.

After seeing Erinno's design, Salin felt that he sold the tickets too cheaply. With twenty-five copper plates, he could appreciate the masterpieces of the magician. This is not only a matter of making less money, but also a matter of the value of the magician.

Fortunately, the opening game only symbolically collected one copper coin. Erinno suggested that tickets of different levels should be sold according to the seats. Tickets for the noble seats cost twenty-five gold coins, and the location where the magical image is best appreciated is also worth one silver coin and twenty-five copper coins, which are targeted to civilians.

The nobles would make private bets between them that these twenty-five gold coins were nothing to them.

I don’t know where Ireno’s many wonderful ideas came from, and with Nanya, a knowledgeable mage, helping him, the construction of the arena can be said to be smooth sailing. When Salin came to watch it, it had become a prosperous place in the North City.

There are many nobles in the north city, and there are also many noble soldiers. Some professionals live here, hoping to win the favor of the nobles. Instead, the mercenaries are all in Dongcheng. There are many shops in Dongcheng and there are many merchants who need mercenaries.

There are still people in Beicheng, namely craftsmen. There are many equipment stores here, which are only retail. Unlike Dongcheng, they are basically wholesale outwards.

Overall, there are no poor people in the North City, and those craftsmen save hundreds of gold coins a year.

Not to mention a copper coin, a ticket for each gold coin, everyone in the North City can eat it. However, Salin is doing a long-term business and it is impossible to do it only once, so it is better to target everyone.

Salin was invited to the platform. There were only eighteen seats on this platform, and each seat could sit two people. The eighteen seats were twelve earls, four dukes, and Salin and Daniel's.

Salin and Daniel will only come today, and they may not have much time to watch the competition in person in the future.

Qin Yin has polo competitions, which are very popular and there will be huge arenas. However, those arenas are not as luxurious as Salin. Generally, there are one or two thousand people watching the game. The arena of 50,000 people is noisy. If it weren't for the aristocratic seats, everyone wouldn't be able to communicate with each other.

There are several magic arrays on Salin's wide table, but the one in the middle is the sound transmission magic array. The control distance of the magic array is generally the farther the more it consumes the magic core. None of these magic arrays is aggressive magic, they are all auxiliary low-level magic, and their effect distances are all in the arena.

Salin almost doesn't have to consider the number of magic cores consumed by these magic circles, and they consume low-level magic. If Salin inlays a batch of intermediate magic cores, it will basically not need to be replaced for two or three months.

Sika did not come today, and Elena was sitting next to Salin. Many things were designed by her. She had to tell Salin what to do is the most appropriate one.

As the actual manager of Metatlin City, Daniel was sitting next to him, Nicholas. He and Salin sat in the center of the noble seat, and there was a row of curved chairs behind him. The people sitting were all confidants beside Salin. Nelise did not sit, but stood behind Salin. Next to her, three demons followed her and served Salin and Erinno.

The four dukes were very close, and to the two sides, the distance between the earls was much farther away. However, the platform was connected, and it was very convenient to pass messages to each other.

Because the time has not yet arrived, Salin communicates with the people around him.

Erinno explained to Salin very carefully, including some small shops set up in the arena, selling food and water. There are also two hundred toilets and thousands of posts in the entire arena.

On the high platform where Salin is located, it is the center of magic control, and under the high platform is a magic alchemy room that truly controls the arena. There are dozens of magic apprentices working inside.

Salin listened very carefully and found that there was no omission to calculate what Elinno said. When Erinno designed it, he even considered how to evacuate the 50,000 audiences.

At fourteen o'clock in the afternoon, a thick voice sounded and could be heard throughout the arena.

"Residents of Metatriline City, please pay attention, everyone, the first Metatriline Athletic Competition is about to begin. Let's listen to the lord of Metatriline City, His Highness Salin, to say a few words to us!"

The arena is silent, which is a kind of silence of the common people towards the nobles. You can say it is awe or respect. Especially the one who is about to speak is the lord of Metatlin City.

Salin himself was ready. He opened the magic circle of sound transmission and began his first brief speech in his life.

"My people..." Salin's beginning was designed by Elena. He paused for a moment and said, "Hello, me, Salin Metatrim, as the master of this city and this country, has created a strange thing about competitive competitions. There is only one reason, I need capable talents."

The arena is terrifyingly quiet. In fact, the viewing area of ​​the entire arena is divided into twenty-four. Once the magic array under the console is opened, no one can hear each other's voices.

"The Holy See is attacking, and until now, there are hundreds of warriors in the hospital I have created, receiving treatment. They can either survive or die in the expedition of the Holy See. The Metathirin people will not surrender. We will have more warriors and more magicians to resist the pride, prejudice, cruelty, and absurdity of the gods. So, I need you!"

"Here, I tell you, the whole of Garroran has fallen, but Metatrim will always stand on this land and will never surrender. We will attack and attack the plain of glory."

Before Salin finished speaking, people suddenly cheered when they didn't know which area they started.

"Long live Metatriline! Long live!"

"Never give in!"
Chapter completed!
