The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

The caretaker opened up the black scroll and announced the rules just like before. Most of it was irrelevant, and only the last part was important. "The warrior's odds are one to four, and the beast's odds are one to two. The warrior has five minutes to choose the beast he'll face!"

Images of five beasts then appeared in the air. Fane raised an eyebrow, not looking at the beasts for the moment. After the odds were recited, the spectators were in an uproar again as noises filled his ears.

"I thought Arne's odds would be like Fane's, that it would be one to seven! I can't believe it's lowered by almost half. What is Beast City trying to do? Are they thinking that

the chances of Arne winning are greater than Fane?" "Don't just blindly speak when you don't get it. Do you think the caretakers are as stupid as you? The odds aren't just determined based on the skills of the warriors; it depends on our reactions as well. Hundred Beast City doesn't want onesided bets. The high odds are to attract you to bet on the other side!"

After that explanation, everyone slowly started to understand.

"I can't believe the odds are so low that they're only one to four. If that's the case, then you can't break the ten million mark today."

Rudy could not hold himself back from laughing. "I wasn't planning on breaking that mark anyway. Even if I lose, it's no big deal, seeing as I made so much. I haven't learned a lot of skills, but I've learned to be happy with what I have."

If he had not been with Fane, Rudy might have died a long time ago. At that moment, he was not just alive, but he also had so many spirit crystals. He just felt incredibly fortunate in his heart, not even thinking about anything else.

If he could win a bit more, then he would. Even if he lost, it did not matter. Fane raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Rudy's attitude was already so good. He could still remember how arrogant and how much of a show-off Rudy had been when he first met him.

That attitude was long gone, fortunately.

Fane laughed as he patted Rudy on the shoulder. The warriors around them were already in intense discussions due to the odds.

Some of them felt like the odds were too low while others felt like it was just right. After that, they started to discuss if they should bet on the beast or on Arne.

Fane frowned, feeling a bitExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

suffocated. He turned to look at

Rudy and saw that Rudy was unhappy as well. He whispered, "After winning the spirit crystals, let's leave the outer city. I've gotten sick of this place."

Rudy nodded vehemently, sharing the same idea. He felt like the outer city was getting annoying as well and was anxious to enter the middle city to see some new things.

Fane took out a token from Mustard Seed, and on it were the words Middle City.

When he walked off the stage, the caretaker handed him that token.

After completing the black iron bet, he had earned the right to enter the middle city. He noticed that the rules were more or less the same as in Thousand Leaves Tower. As long as he had the entry token, he could bring a subordinate with him.

With that rule, Fane could bring Rudy with him. With that in mind, he could not help but raise an eyebrow, incredibly curious as to the identity of the person who set the rules.

How were they able to consider everything so thoroughly?

After thinking about it for a while, Fane slowly understood why those rules had been set. It was probably thanks to the special role alchemists played.

Regardless of the place, alchemists

were special. After all, they put all their focus on alchemy. People were normally unable to divide their

attention, so alchemists would ne

naturally have neglected their combat abilities.
