Sakar star.

The stands in the arena were packed with excited spectators. Someone was waving the ticket stub in his hand and shouting at the top of his lungs. There were also people who sat on their seats with a proud face, enjoying their drinks leisurely, as if they were watching a singing and dancing performance.

It is clear at a glance who is the loser and who is the winner.

In the owner's private box in the middle of the stands, Gao Tianzun and the collector sat at the two ends of the couch. Just like the spectators in the shorter stands around them, one had a sad face and the other was cheerful, forming a stark contrast in their expressions.

"I won this game." Picking up the cup placed on the round table with a smaller armrest, the collector triumphantly raised his glass to Gao Tianzun who was a few meters away: "Old man, you still have better men Hurry up and call over to make arrangements."

"Tsk." Smacking his lips unwillingly, Gao Tianzun rolled his eyes with a look of displeasure: "It's just a temporary helper. It's not your subordinate, what are you proud of?"

In the open field below, a duel is going on.

The two sides of the battle are the slave gladiators under Gao Tianzun, and Vostagg, Fandral, and Hogan in the four-member group of Asgard.

The appearance of slave gladiators is a matter of course. But why did the three of them appear in the arena?

Things started two days ago.

According to the original plan, the dark elves were escorted to the planet Saka and handed over to the slave merchants under Gao Tianzun. After completing the task of escorting, Thor and his friends would probably stay on the planet Saka for three to five years. The time of the day—it is usually transmitted through the Rainbow Bridge, and it is rare to take a spaceship to come out. In addition, Saka does not belong to the Nine Realms, and there are very few chances to come here... Thinking that it would be a waste to go back with an empty ship, before setting off, Loki specifically told Thor a few words to let him stay on Saka. Purchase some supplies that may be available in Asgard and bring them back.

Thor never refuses Loki's request. What's more, the plot line has changed under the influence of Shi Xiaolei, the butterfly, and Loki didn't do those evil things that amounted to betrayal.

All in all, after completing the handover, Thor obediently devoted himself to the next job, busying himself with the procurement tasks that Loki had ordered on Planet Saka.

There is a team of four in Asgard... To be more precise, with the help of the delicate Sif, the task progressed smoothly, and the completion speed was faster than Thor expected.

However, just a few hours before the procurement task was completed and the group was about to leave Saka, the collector who had been invited by Gao Tianzun happened to arrive on Saka.

In order to welcome my old friend, I can't wait to make a bet with him, so that I can have a good time and have a good time. Not long after the collector landed, and before his **** had time to sit hot, Gao Tianzun held a grand duel that had been prepared in advance.

How grand is it?

If the duel competition held on weekdays is compared to a student sports meeting held in a certain university, then this competition held specially to welcome collectors is at least the level of an official Olympic competition.

Whether it is the personal strength of the contestants or the level of attention of the competition itself, they are not at the same level.

Countless spectators poured into the arena, filling the stands to the brim. Coupled with the frenzied gamblers... Even if you are outside the arena, you can still hear the noise and hustle and bustle from the huge arena from a long distance away.

This excitement also reached the ears of Thor and the foursome of Asgard.

Asgard also has a circular arena, whether it is Thor, Vostagg or others, they often show off their skills. They have long been familiar with such activities as gladiatorial wrestling.

There is no need to distinguish carefully, just listened to one ear, and Thor and others immediately guessed what caused the movement.

Inevitably, a little interest was born in my heart, and I looked at the time again, and there were still a few hours of leisure before the departure. So, the few people quickly unified their opinions and decided to go to the arena to watch the fun and pass the time a little. After waiting for three or four hours, it's just about time, and then come back and leave by boat.

It was this temporary decision that triggered a series of follow-ups.

The first game, just an appetizer. The strength of the players on stage is not very strong, and the competition process is also a little less exciting, which is not very attractive.

But after the first two preparatory gladiatorial fights were over, the strengths of those who appeared one after the other were completely different.

Gradually, the Asgard foursome and Thor became interested, and the audience in the arena became more excited, which made the atmosphere even more exciting, and they were more or less infected...

As the defending champion who has won 30 rounds in a row defeated his opponent again, Gao Tianzun said, "If anyone can beat him, he will get a million credits", after publicly expressing that he would allow the audience to take the initiative to participate in the battle, Vostagg, who was the most irritable, stood up without hesitation, and jumped into the arena from the stands with the flagon in his hand.

He just wanted to fight and find fun by fighting against powerful enemies. Vostagg was not greedy for money, and he had no interest in the one million credits promised by Gao Tianzun.

Just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean that others aren't as immune to temptation as he is.

On the planet Saka, there are still many scavengers who pick up garbage for a living, and many of them are powerful guys who can still fight. For example, the Valkyrie who lived incognito on the planet Saka had the number 'Scavenger 142'.

One million credit points is still very attractive to these scavengers who only want to make money.

Therefore, while Vostagg jumped into the arena, several scavengers who were waiting in the stands also rushed to participate in the arena for rewards.

It's not a one-on-one gladiatorial fight, but a multi-party melee.

The more participants there are, the more exciting the process will be. In addition, those who participated in the next battle were all good players among the scavengers, and the audience in the stands were no strangers to them... After seeing this scene, the audience was as if they were blown up, and their emotions immediately became much more excited. It also suddenly increased a lot.

The audience in the stands all placed their bets, including Gao Tianzun and the collector sitting in the boss's box, of course, were no exception.

The champion who defends the competition is Gao Tianzun's slave. Needless to say, he certainly wanted to bet on the champion.

The focus is on collectors.

After asking the identities of the players on stage, it was determined that only Vostagg was from outside Saka, and he was already biased. In addition, Vostagg is from Asgard, and in the hearts of collectors who have lived for countless years, they still remember the Asgardians' ability to conquer and fight well...

After hesitating for about three to five seconds, the Collector made a choice and placed his bet on Vostagg.

The next game process will not be described in detail.

In short, after a chaotic battle that lasted for about forty minutes, Verstagg finally managed to win a move and snatched the victory from the defending champion.

Because of his victory, the collector won the bet with Gao Tianzun.

The winning money worth hundreds of millions of credits is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a wealthy collector, so he doesn't take it seriously. The key lies in being able to win against his old friend in the gambling game. This victory itself is what he is most proud of.

It is somewhat inappropriate to describe it as "drinking water without forgetting the well digger", but the meaning is probably the same. To put it simply, for the sake of Vostagg helping him win, the collector left a good impression in his heart, and took the initiative to **** the job of "rewarding the winner" from Gao Tianzun. Son.

A few minutes later, Vostagg was taken to the boss's box by the attendants. Thor and others who were originally in the stands were also called over because of his request.

Gao Tianzun met with Thor and others before, but the collector ~lightnovelpub.net~ who was invited by him later did not know Thor.

I don't know that Thor is the prince of Asgard, and I don't know what kind of status Vostagg and others are in Asgard. However, because Gao Tianzun lost the bet, he felt a little bit aggrieved, and deliberately didn't Introduce him to...

While giving Vostagg the one million credits promised before, the collector suddenly offered an invitation, expressing the hope that Vostagg and others could accept their employment, and in the next time, they will continue to work together. Fight a few matches with Gao Tianzun's gladiators.

Do you want to agree to the collector's invitation and accept his employment?

If the person who made the invitation was not a collector, if it was replaced by another person, the probability of acceptance and rejection would be about 50-50.

It is possible to accept it because these people, including the trustee himself, like to compete with masters. And it is possible to refuse because they have already discussed the plan before and plan to leave after a while.

It was the collectors who made the invitation.

The collector didn't know the origins of Thor and others, but on the contrary, Thor and others immediately remembered the scene when they discussed the action plan in Asgard after hearing him reveal his identity.

So, while being surprised at "why is he here", Thor and the others thought in their hearts, "cooperate now, maybe we can get closer, and ask him for help later, maybe it will go well." some' thoughts. Then, several people looked at each other, and quickly unified their opinions, and Thor spoke, and accepted the invitation from the collector.

In this way, Thor and others failed to leave Saka as originally planned, but stayed and temporarily reached a cooperation with the collector as a mercenary.

It is also from this that Vostagg, Fandral, and Hogan will appear in the arena.
