Chapter 3 Hidden worries

“It won’t be that simple.”

Link remembered the manager Harvey, who looked smart and calculating, and was able to be in charge of a place like a battlefield for so many years, he must be a ruthless character who can even squeeze out a few drops of oil from a dead person.

"And, you are willing to be kept in this arena, thinking about how to please the people in the stands every day? What's the difference between that and a pig?"

Link woke up everyone who was still calm in his dream of counting money easily.

As a pirate, his yearning for freedom and his hatred for nobles are almost indelible in his heart.

Of course, if they had the chance, they wouldn't mind becoming aristocratic class themselves.

"If you are not free, you would rather die!" Finally, the conversation was summarized by the "Honest Man".

Tony and others looked at each other: Why didn't you say it when Made just talked about money?

At this time, Link suddenly found that the two subordinates in the corner, Tommy Lake and Donny Lake, brothers, were a little strange.

A faint golden symbol appeared above both of them, but Tony and others seemed to be unable to detect it.

‘Is it again…’ Link’s heart moved.

"Tomy, Donnie, have your injuries healed?"

The two are one-egg compatriots, the youngest among the six. They had a conflict with others in the tavern a few times ago.

Although the flesh and flesh looked a bit scary at that time, Link and others didn't take it seriously. They simply bandaged it with a cloth and ignored it.

"It's okay, I'll leave a scar." Tommy lifted up his shirt and touched the faint scar marks. If it weren't for Link's reminder, he would have forgotten that he had been injured.

So did Donnie on the other side.

"Haha, I told you that you can get better by drinking too much. Every time I get a knife, I have nothing to do after drinking the next day!"

The big bald Kenneth said carelessly that in addition to his deliberately protected face, there were dozens of scars all over his body, including fatal injuries that hurt the heart and lungs. But what is surprising is that no matter how terrible the injury is, he will always recover the next day and heal in a few days.

Tony and Jon are the same. They have many straight pirates and don’t have so many delicate thoughts. They just think that the sea god is protecting themselves.

As for the Lake brothers, they did not recover so quickly because they joined late and were the youngest, but they were also very exaggerated to ordinary people.

Is Link an ordinary person? There is no normal person in this group.

From when, Link discovered his secret: after his men had experienced the battle, they could accumulate "experience" and after enough "experience", the faint golden "' symbol on the heads of the Lake brothers that only he could see would appear.

Link looked at Tommy, and his mind silenced. The symbol of Tommy's head slowly faded and disappeared, and then a golden light brushed through Tommy's body from top to bottom.

When he stared at Tommy again, the golden line symbolizing the experience bar in his body had disappeared. This means that Tommy had been promoted to the top level by him.

Link did the same thing with Donny.

At this point, all five of Link's men were promoted to the maximum level by him.

Link's five men secretly named him "Berserker". They were light-fitting and ran quickly. Their weapons were heavy weapons such as long-handled battle axe or heavy hammer. The combat style was "for injury to life" - for the enemy's life at the cost of their own injury.

With its strong vitality and exaggerated recovery ability, it is always invincible in pirate looting operations.

The casualties rate of Jump Gang battles remained high during the pirate robbery, but Link and the others were able to survive for half a year, which was definitely not the protection of the sea god.

As long as they are not seriously injured by a broken limb, they can recover quickly, so they have further developed their fighting style of fearlessness.

The reason why Link has always maintained a team of 6 people is that on the one hand it is for elite soldiers, and on the other hand it is to see what bonuses his subordinates will give him when they reach the maximum level.

The five men were all ‘Berserkers’, so Link also moved towards their size.

'It seems that it should be a bonus of strength or vitality,' Link thought.

Who should be taken next? There is no long-range attack method, and the flying axe is far away and there is no accurate idea.

Link thought to himself.

"Last month I accompanied you to the bar. Someone asked me how I could recover from the wound soon. He had a stab in his thigh."

‘Honest Man’ Jon began to share his story.

"What did you say? Is it useful to tell him that drinking is drinking?" asked the big bald Kenneth hurriedly.

"I told him not to worry about it, it would be fine the next day. He didn't believe it, and said I was a stingy person and didn't tell him the truth. I was anxious at that time."

"And I thought that every time you fight you would run to the tavern to drink. Maybe that worked for him too."

"Then you told him? Will it be better the next day?" The big bald Kenneth hurriedly asked in order to prove the method he said was effective like everyone else.

"I said, he suddenly died in two days..." The honest man Jon answered with a look of self-blame.

"I shouldn't have told him."

"It must be a matter of alcohol!" Kenneth swore.

"I think he might have drunk too little." Tony analyzed while braiding his braids.

"Will it be..." Donny, who was standing beside him, racked his brains: "The wound should be soaked in wine!"

"Yes!" Everyone woke up and hurriedly praised Donnie for being smart.

‘Honest Man’ Jon felt much better after hearing this.

Link rolled his eyes when he heard this.

He is now worried about another thing, his equipment problem.

Although they have all reached the top level, they still cannot exert their full strength without the corresponding equipment.

‘Berserker’ is a profession with relatively low equipment requirements. It only requires a set of leather armor and weapons, and at most a helmet is needed.

A set of leather armor can be handled with 10 silver snake coins. Choose a long-handled and wide-blade battle axe. The ordinary material also requires about 10 silver snake coins. Such a person can get at least 20 silver snake coins, and six people can no longer exceed one golden snake coins?!

Link took a breath.

Link dares to conclude that more than 90% of the people on this continent have never seen the Golden Snake Coin. Ordinary farmers may have never seen the Silver Snake Coin in their lifetime. Citizens and small businessmen have at most dealing with the Silver Snake Coin in their lifetime.

The Golden Snake Coin is the exclusive currency of the nobles and lords.

Link couldn't save one in half a year as a pirate. You can imagine how big it is.

This is not counting Link's thoughts on the knight's armor.

A set of chain armor requires at least 50 silver snake coins, and the plate armor must be doubled.

Shaking his head, Link stopped thinking about these things. Now the most urgent task is to gain freedom first and win five consecutive games of gladiators.

He believed that with the strength of himself and his subordinates, he would definitely have a place in this continent.

For some reason, he remembered the old man in charge of the silver-haired and backed head who always kept smiling and spoke calmly.

‘Will everything really go well?’

No words all night.

On the second day, it was the same time again. A capable guard in leather armor came to pass the message: "It starts fighting at noon, and take out the weapon yourself."

It's still the same process as yesterday.

Link stayed in the preparation for the venue for a while, and then arrived at the arena in advance.

It was still sunny, and many spectators had already sat in the stands on both sides of the arena. After seeing Link and his group, some even stood up and waved and cheered.

‘It seems that after yesterday’s publicity, everyone has an impression of us.’

‘But don’t these people have to go to work?’ Link glanced at these enthusiastic audiences, a little incomprehensible.

What he didn't know was that most of the audiences of these citizens were individual workers, blacksmiths, bartenders, silversmiths, small vendors, etc. At present, except for the textile industry, there was little tradition of large-scale work in other industries.

And the entertainment methods in this era are very scarce. Apart from taverns and brothels, only the arena can make people's blood swell and their adrenaline soar.

As time slowly passed, the stands gradually became seated. Compared with yesterday, the attendance rate today was about 70%.

"One person has 5 copper coins, seven hundred people have 35 silver snake coins, hiss..." Link was surprised by the huge profits in the arena. This did not include the audience's gambling bets and the money for the audience in the box.

‘We bought the arena but it only cost 5 Silver Snake Coins.’

"This business is a starting point!" The big bald Kenneth's eyes lit up after listening to Link's analysis.

Link thought it was unrealistic. There must be other hidden expenses, prison relations management, city lord protection fees, and other related energy-related nobles also need to manage. The water here is too deep.

"...The court guards from the ancient Basil Empire!" The speaker of the trumpet brought Link back to reality.

His eyes looked at the box where Harvey was staying yesterday. He was gone, and instead a woman with a large top hat to protect the sun.

The distance is too far to see your appearance and age.

Which boring noble female family should have come to the arena to experience the excitement of the blood flowing into the flesh and blood.

Soon, the battle finally began.

It was still yesterday's tactics, running, throwing an axe, charging, and ending the battle.

This time the opponent changed into a stronger shield, but it was still useless. Equipment is important, but more importantly, the person using the equipment.

The battle was solved like chopping melons and vegetables, and even louder cheers broke out in the stands. It seemed that they had accepted the fighting style of Link and his group.

"Let us congratulate them again, warriors from the ancient empire, Link! Link's Court Warrior Order!"

The trumpet man once again introduced Link and his party passionately and loudly. Once it might be a lucky one, he was qualified to let everyone remember their names twice.

Link twitched his lips and resisted the urge to rush to the sidelines to beat the trumpet man.

He walked towards the basement without looking back.

Tony and others were forced to act rashly due to the boss's power, and spit out phlegm on the ground with hatred.

Cold, ruthless, strong, and a mysterious past. The most terrifying thing is that being a "eunuch" also aroused the sympathy of the male audience on the scene.
