The attributes of the eagle demon in the courtyard are: strength 24, agility 15, constitution 22, intelligence 10, perception 16, and charm 16.
In addition to the common talents of tanar'ri demons, vulture demons are also good at "powerful attack", "slash", "multiple attacks (one claw attack and one beak peck)", and magic resistance.
As for other abilities and talent spells, unfortunately, at this stage of the game, players are not allowed to view them.
Only after the protagonist group starts fighting with the Eagle Demon can more detailed information be obtained through actual combat.
This is not the first time this situation has occurred, and Gao Fei can understand it.
In the current game scenario, the status of the Eagle Demon is equivalent to that of a mini-boss or an elite monster.
If the player sees through the vulture demon's underwear before the battle, the difficulty of the game will drop sharply and become less challenging.
A burst of sharp and harsh laughter interrupted Gao Fei's thoughts.
Following the laughter, I looked over and saw the eagle demon squatting on the angel statue, stretching out a sharp claw to grab the cage a hundred feet away.
The iron gate of the cage rose slowly, as if controlled by an invisible hand, opening the way to the courtyard.
People who were locked in a cage by the devil, seeing the hope of escape, crowded towards the door one after another.
However, the noise coming from above frightened them so much that they had to stop and huddle in the corner of the iron cage with their heads in their hands.
At the same time that the cage door opened, the guillotine hanging above people's heads also began to shake. The sharp and dense blades slowly dropped downwards, getting closer and closer to the prisoners' heads.
"Stupid humans, listen carefully!"
The sound made by the Eagle Demon is as sharp as an owl, full of mockery.
"The knife in the cage is connected to the iron plate under your feet. If the weight of the iron plate is less than 500 pounds, the knife will fall down and kill all the poor people in the cage!"
"If you want to get out of the cage alive, you have to play a game with me!"
"The rules are very simple. From among the ten of you, select the six guys with the best skills and come out to play a football match with the demons."
"I will be the referee. As long as you score one goal, you will be free and leave this monastery safely."
"On the other hand, if your performance on the court disappoints me and the cowards score the goal first, quack quack... then I'm sorry, all the players on the field, including the spectators who stayed in the iron cage, will die!
"
The vulture demon gave a rough and ferocious laugh and continued:
"Now you can choose the players to play. Don't forget that the four people left in the cage must weigh at least 500 pounds in total to prevent the knife above their heads from falling."
"If you are not too stupid, you should leave the fat and strong companions in the cage to weigh the scales, and select the light and agile boys to compete!"
Of course, Gao Fei could see that the eagle demon was talking to the prisoner in the cage on the surface, but he was actually introducing the game rules of this scene to the protagonist team headed by himself.
If the human side loses to the demon side on the court, it will be the protagonist's turn to play a "death ball match" with the demons.
There was a commotion among the people in the cage, and they gathered together and whispered. Sure enough, as the eagle demon reminded them, six thinner companions were selected from among the ten people and came out to play a 6v6 football match with the demons.
The six people selected were all dressed like aristocratic officers, and their physical fitness was also good. They were much better than the group of wretched cowards opposite.
Judging from their warm-up activities on the grass, their golf skills are considered to be at the top level among amateurs.
Mario Ricardo, who was watching, also noticed this detail and was surprised.
"Brother Musk, I thought the upper-class aristocrats could only play tennis. I never expected that these young men are also very good at civilian sports like football!"
Goofy completely understood why Mario was surprised.
In the game world, especially in the context of the era in which the "Duel Agent" module is set, there is indeed a so-called "high and low" distinction in sports.
Take the Kingdom of Feizhen, where the story takes place, as an example. It was in the period of the Industrial Revolution. The traditional feudal aristocracy had not yet been completely replaced by the emerging bourgeoisie. The sports advocated by the aristocrats, such as equestrian, cricket and tennis, were considered
Elegant taste.
On the other hand, football, which originated from the blue-collar working class, was despised by the upper class, calling it a "barbaric game in the slums" and a "drunken show".
These statements are of course a prejudice, but at that time, although football had the broadest social base, with far more players and spectators than the so-called elegant and aristocratic sports, it unfortunately did not have a good reputation.
, violent conflicts caused by football games are not uncommon.
One of the most horrifying stadium conflicts occurred on March 4 this year.
That day was the final day of the Fijian Kingdom's annual "Champions Cup". The two teams participating in the final were the "Avalon Brewery Team" and the challenger from the south - the "Ampton Miners".
That afternoon, more than 20,000 spectators poured into the Temple Mount Stadium, about a quarter of which were away fans from afar. The number of spectators set a world record for an open-air sports event.
The game was tense from the beginning, and the field was full of physical conflicts.
The two sides were tied during regular time, and the overtime was still evenly divided. In the end, the Miners at home won on penalty kicks.
More than 5,000 away fans were dissatisfied with the referee's final decision and cursed at the black whistle. Then they had fierce physical conflicts with the home fans, which eventually turned into a street fight.
The police responsible for maintaining order at the stadium were unable to compete with thousands of furious fans and were beaten until they were beaten.
After the fan riots occurred, the Avalon police force was in emergency and had to ask for help from the military.
It wasn't until the Household Cavalry took to the streets to maintain law and order, and the drunken football hooligans were trampled by horse hooves and hit in the face with sticks that their arrogance was curbed and they dispersed in droves.
Afterwards, the police counted and found that the conflict resulted in a total of 51 deaths and more than 400 injuries. Nearly a thousand fans who participated in the fight were arrested.
This casualty figure is no less than that of a small-scale battle. Major newspapers and periodicals, fearing for peace in the world, reported this violent incident on their front pages, calling it "Black Sunday" or even the "Avalon Massacre".
It shocked the whole country for a while.
Such reports are admittedly alarmist, but compare them with the so-called "New Avalon Massacre" that occurred in the New World Colony on January 13 of the same year - local people provoked the garrison, triggering a military-civilian conflict, and a total of five troublemakers
Being shot and killed - that's not an exaggeration.
