Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 578: Chapter 574, competition venue

“This is the place?”

Empress Yekana got off the magic train and stood in front of the Hearthstone Tavern.

The Empress did not mind taverns. Taverns existed in the country of steel, but taverns were also divided into different levels.

The most luxurious taverns in the country of steel were no less than the manors built by the nobles, so she was somewhat looking forward to the taverns built by the great creator of the magic net.

In the end, reality gave the queen an answer, which was that it was no different from the taverns that could be seen everywhere on the streets.

From time to time, a few dwarves wrapped in ash pushed the door open and walked into the tavern, which made Queen Yekana feel a kind of physical resistance.

“Hearthstone Tavern, I Know It’s hard for you to accept, but the venue for the duel is here.”

General Fred wasn’t as pretentious as Empress Yekana. He directly pushed the door open and walked into the tavern.

The Empress followed General Fred into the tavern without saying a word.

The scenery in the tavern was much better than she had expected. At least it wasn’t as messy as she had expected. It was just as noisy as usual.

“Welcome to Hearthstone Tavern, Mr. Kaos.”

“An acquaintance of yours?”

Empress Yekana glanced at the ‘female attendant’in the tavern. She felt that ‘her’appearance was very familiar. The ‘female attendant’pair of warm blue eyes were as calm as a lake, however, after staring at it for a long time, she had an inexplicable urge to let others possess it.

This strange temperament made Empress Yekana certain that this ‘girl’would dress up properly. It was enough to make many men submit to her.

“Yes… Yes.”

At this time, Prince Karos was hovering in front of the guillotine. Of course, he did not dare to lie to this executioner.

“My Name is Enoch… I am a student of Ruersk Elementary Magic Academy. Mr. Karos has helped me a lot in the past.”

Even though this young succubus Enoch had mingled in the tavern for so many years, she still had not learned the skill of ‘seeing people’.

Enoch completely didn’t notice the embarrassed expression on Kaos’face. He only greeted the guests with the courtesy that an attendant should have.

“You’re a Demon?”

Empress Yekana Sized Enoch up once again and instantly recognized the fact that this ‘girl’wasn’t human.

“That… that… This lady… i. . .”

At this moment, Enoch entered a state of vigilance. This succubus was still very concerned about her race… this made Enoch’s words somewhat incoherent.

“Welcome to the competition.”

Just as Enoch was trying to find a way to explain himself, Enoch’s shoulder was patted. When this succubus turned her head, Joshua was already standing beside her.

“Enoch, the guest over there needs a refill.”

Joshua gave an order to Enoch, and this succubus obediently took the tray and left the place.

“You are the owner of the tavern?”Empress Yekana stared at Joshua.

Joshua could feel the powerful magic waves from this woman. The last time he felt this way was when she was in purple.

“That’s right. I Am the owner of this tavern, the creator of the Magic Net, and the youngest winner of the SKJERONA award. Alright… I have finished talking about the titles that I can praise, so please get straight to the point.”

Joshua did not intend to waste time on such aristocratic exchanges.

“The venue for the competition is this way, please follow me.”

As a guide, Joshua led General Fred and the others into the depths of the tavern.

Empress Yekana slowly followed behind Joshua. She admitted that after entering the tavern, her impression of the tavern was still very bad, but it was indeed changing.

The specific change was that… there was a kind of ‘Secret Underground Association’Feeling.

Because the customers in the tavern were not simple fellows. Even the dwarf who was sitting next to them and shouting seemed to be a powerful warrior, not to mention that Empress Yekana could vaguely feel a magical aura that was no less than her own here.

All of this made the empress somewhat look forward to the venue that Joshua had prepared for the competition.

Could it be that there was a secret door under the tavern that led to a secret arena?

It was normal for this kind of tavern to run some shady business in the dark.

But the truth was cruel.

“UH… The venue for the match is here, and the audience area is over here… right?”

Josiah led General Fred and the others to a corner of the Hearthstone Tavern.

Everything here was telling Queen Yekana the meaning of the word ‘shabby’.

“These two wooden tables are the venue of the competition?”

Queen Yekana finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked at the two slightly worn wooden tables in front of her that were temporarily put together. There seemed to be some dust on them.

“To be precise, it’s one. Considering the efficiency, each team shares a wooden table. I found it in the warehouse behind the tavern yesterday. Please don’t mind the dust…”

After Joshua finished introducing the competition area, he walked to the other side.

“These are the chairs that have been vacated. I suggest you find one to sit down. Otherwise, when there are too many people watching, you won’t be able to grab it.”

Not long after Joshua finished introducing the audience area, Queen Yekana’s face had already turned ashen.

Jose could understand why she had such an expression.

The Gladiator competition was very popular in the country of steel. It was also the fastest way for a commoner to win glory. The venue for the competition was probably the kind of venue that occupied an area close to a football field, the audience seats were enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people..

Right now, Queen Yekana’s situation was simply like watching a duel between two knights in the back garden. In the end, she came to the mud pit today to watch the fight between two boorish men.

“It’s really like what General Fred said. It’s… a small competition.”

Empress Yekana was not as pretentious as the other noble women. Although her attendants had brought over the best chair in the room, the Empress did not sit down. Instead, she stared at Joshua.

“Mr. Joshua Arnold, if we win, we can get the World Tree Crystal from you, right?”

“What a terrifying perceptive ability.”

Joshua took out the world tree crystal.

“This is the reward for the winner, madam… If you want to get this crystal, you have to first defeat the challengers from other countries.”

“What about the other challengers?”

Queen Yekana had no patience to stay here and continue this farce. She still had a lot of things to deal with, such as Prince Kaos’future development plans.

“Some people haven’t arrived yet, and the other part is over there.”Jose pointed to the other side of the Hearthstone Tavern.

Queen Yekana’s gaze followed the direction that Jose pointed to. After clearly seeing the competitors from other countries, she admitted that… she was amused by Jose.

“Those commoners who don’t even have magic power?”Queen Yekana was not stingy with her sarcasm at all.

The humans of this world all had the ability to use magic, but not everyone could have the title of spellcaster.

Even if there were a few contestants from other countries who had passed the spellcaster test, in the eyes of the terrifying spellcaster, Queen Yekana, they were no different from chicks that had just hatched.

On the other hand, the candidate chosen by General Fred seemed to be much more reliable. At least, he seemed to be very capable of fighting.

“Joshua Arnold, can you directly give me an accurate bargaining chip?”Queen Yekana wanted to directly buy the crystal in Joshua’s hand.

However, before Joshua could speak, her proposal was completely interrupted by the voice of another person.

“Your Highness Yekana, the rules of this competition have been set. Even you may not be able to stop it.”

“Longan Karshilov, do you still remember who gave you the kindness to be able to see me alive here?”

The Queen’s expression did not change, but under her words, the fox-like man only slightly bowed.

“Please calm down for the terrible defeat of Prince Kaos yesterday. After all, he may also be defeated by us today.”

Although he bowed respectfully, he still did not show any mercy when he spoke.

The Empress was unexpectedly restrained. Joshua believed that if he were to face such a provocation that pierced his heart, he might directly pick up a chair and throw it at the head of the opposite side.

On the contrary, their subordinates had already begun to place their hands on the staff and Longsword.

“Sophia…”

Prince Kaos immediately saw the chief disciple of the yellow-clothed man in the frosty country’s team.

“In short… whatever grudges you have, you should settle them in the competition.”Before the fight developed into a real person, Jose intervened between the two sides. “Because it’s the first competition, the venue is a little shabby. Let’s just make do with it…”
