Chapter 846: With a Salary of One or Two Gold Coins, Why Risk One's Life

"After talking for so long, that is to say you don't know either."

Mera rolled her eyes.

Then she stopped paying attention to this guy Philips.

Because she knew the other party was just showing off, so the more she paid attention, the more enthusiastic the other party would definitely become.

At times like this, giving him the cold shoulder was the best approach.

Of course.

There was also another reason, which was because the upcoming battle could be watched soon, so there was no need to delve deeply into this.

That would waste her brainpower.

It was better to save it for doing more research.

That wasn't important anymore.

Driven by personality, possessing unique skills.

Anyway, one could always find a reason to explain it.

She definitely didn't know.

All these displays that she was confused about were actually given by that World Will, which had given her the Title and was praised as a 'God' by them Karimians.

However, this world was already a thousand years later.

And the kind that was about to croak at that.

As for why it could still be effective a thousand years ago, that was because it was originally the same existence.

So in terms of mechanism, there were no problems at all.

That's right.

Based on Esmeralda's description, Lan Qingyou had already thoroughly classified the World Will into the category of a 'program'.

It operated according to a certain logic.

And not some kind of thinking entity where sensibility and rationality intertwined.

"Just now... during the introduction, it seems like only my name was said..."

Just as the 'experts' were pondering over the magic power of the two.

The two were also pondering over something else.

Lan Qingyou was a bit indignant.

Because just now when Cyrus was announcing, there was only the appellation of 'black-robed'.

While Elisa was both 'white-robed' and 'princess'.

"It can't be helped. When away from home, identities are given by oneself; who told you to only have this identity right now."

Because they were walking from the two ends to the middle where Cyrus was.

So in reality, the distance between the two wasn't far.

Lan Qingyou's sentence could naturally be heard by Elisa.

By the same logic.

Cyrus could also hear it.

It was just that compared to Elisa, the only thing Cyrus could do was pretend he didn't hear it.

Must be joking.

A gladiator with a hundred-match win rate was still just a gladiator.

Compared to a Title Holder, he was nothing.

Therefore, listening less, speaking less, and doing more was the right way.

Or rather, being able to let him host a battle between two Title Holders this time was far more legendary than his hundred victories.

In the future, never mind when he's old.

Even when he's dead!

His own name would definitely become a legend!

When that time came, as long as today's battle was mentioned, he would definitely be mentioned.

He might even go down in history!

Just thinking about it made him a little excited!

"Then you two, according to the previous request of [Potion Formulator] Sir Nikolai, neither side is allowed to use magic in this battle."

"Once magic is used, it will be judged as a defeat."

"May I ask if you agree to this matter?"

Thus, Cyrus, as if he hadn't heard anything, looked at the two and asked.

Originally, pre-match rules like this would have been notified long ago.

It was just that this battle was different from the past.

So Cyrus didn't immediately start after announcing the rules as usual.

But instead came up and directly asked the two if they agreed with this rule.

It couldn't be helped.

Two Title Holders.

If they didn't acknowledge it, then no one could do anything.

Of course, even if they acknowledged it but didn't execute it, similarly no one could do anything to them.

But after all, everyone was a person of standing and reputation.

At the very least, they shouldn't sink to that level.

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Alright."

Seeing both of them nod, Cyrus let out a long sigh of relief.

This way the match could continue to proceed.

"Then! Under the circumstances that both sides agree! This match will not use any magic, and only things within the scope of alchemy will be used for battle!"

"In addition, this match will have battle commentary provided by Mr. Philips from the Royal Alchemy Workshop."

Thus he held the microphone and announced to everyone in the stands.

When he even mentioned Philips, he reached out his hand and pointed to a certain VIP room in the noble section of the stands.

It was just that what he probably didn't know was that the current Philips was inside another VIP room.

But this wasn't important.

What was important was that after people heard the commentator was Philips, they immediately caused a commotion.

After all, this was a legendary figure no matter how you put it.

Not only was he the person in charge of the Aureolus Family at the Imperial Capital Royal Alchemy Workshop.

He was also Mentor Mera's classmate.

"Hmm!!?"

And everyone inside Mera's VIP room all looked at Philips with some surprise.

Commentary?

This simply wasn't this guy's character setting at all, right?

At this moment.

Whether it was Mera or the other two, they were all frantically complaining in their hearts.

Especially Mera.

Just like how Philips knew her personality, she also similarly knew Philips's personality.

He was a serious person, especially being extremely solemn and strict when dealing with alchemy.

But a person exactly like this was actually willing to be a commentator for an alchemy battle?

If it were the past him, when found by the organizers, he would probably very irritably drop a classic quote like 'Alchemy is not meant to be viewed by people'.

Sure enough, it was still for that little girl named Elisa, right?

Looking at Philips's expression that was like looking at a granddaughter, Mera secretly clicked her tongue.

By and large, only this kind of thing could change the personality of this stubborn bad old man.

But from here it could also be seen that the other party thought highly of Elisa.

Especially in the aspect of alchemy.

"Cough cough, that's how it is."

Old man Philips didn't offer much explanation, suddenly pulling a microphone out from his bosom.

This action caused Albert and Nikolai to successively cast sidelong glances.

Good heavens!

He came prepared after all!

They originally thought that with the match about to start, as a commentator he should go to where he needed to go.

As a result, the guy pulled out a magic microphone right on the spot.

Who can you reason with about this?

"Then, since the introductions are finished, let us enter today's duel!"

"Here there is no starting signal! And no one will worry about you!"

"There is only the collision between your own strength and beliefs!"

After saying this, Cyrus immediately took a few large leaps to distance himself from the two.

After all, battles were the kind of thing that could be triggered at any moment.

If he stood in place, there was no guarantee he wouldn't be affected.

So in most situations, hosts would rapidly evacuate after the announcement.

Must be joking.

In the past it was fine, he wanted to fight for fame and become a person above others.

So risking his life a little was nothing.

But now it was different.

He had a salary of a full one or two Gold Coins a month!

Wasn't it good to comfortably enjoy it?

If he risked his life, how would he spend the money, right?

However.

A scene like a bloody storm did not appear as Cyrus had thought.

On the contrary, both people stood in place without any movements...
