Chapter 658 Fainted with anger
Rune Monger's heart was bleeding.
He lost more than he gained!
The banquet was planned, the guests were invited, and the back-up plan was arranged.
Each step cost a lot of money!
If Pete, Miranda, and Lancelot were sensible and stood on his side, he would have a way to leave "handles" on the three of them and make them obey him in the future.
This was not the first time he had done such an operation, and he was familiar with it.
Unfortunately, the three of them were not very tactful.
They rejected Monger's "good intentions" for them.
Since they couldn't get it, they might as well destroy it.
The arena should have been the place where the three of them were ruined, and everything seemed foolproof.
As a result...
The trap of the carnival bud was perfectly dealt with;
The tyrannical ring bee and the crazy fire snake that were called out later were also easily taken away.
These two monsters, both of which have characteristics related to "poison", have a killing range of about 30 meters.
Especially the former.
When the enemy dies, people tend to relax their vigilance.
At this time, the stinger explosion can easily cause fatal damage.
Monger simply didn't know how to lose.
As a result... Pete and the others really defended it!
Just like a prophet, the two monsters' ability to move had been severely restricted under the suppression of magic, and the only thing left was to chase and destroy them.
However, they carefully pulled the distance to the farthest, and relied on Pete's chanting to slowly kill the two monsters.
Monger's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Wasn't he still using the [Flame Strike] in front of him?
Pete was not so cautious when fighting Carnival Buds!
Why did the tactics change with the change of two monsters? !
At this point, Monger's trap plan was completely bankrupt.
Because he could no longer force the third wave of monsters.
Although Lancelot didn't do much, Miranda only used a few common divine spells, and the combat effectiveness of the two was not affected much.
But according to people's understanding of mages, Pete Qinar, who had used several powerful magics in succession, had run out of spells and had to recover through meditation or wait for the next day.
It would be too much to send monsters at this time.
Even if Pete and his team gave up on the spot, no one would think there was anything wrong.
The characteristics of mages are quite distinct. When they have sufficient spell slots, sufficient materials, and are in high spirits, as long as they have enough magic, one person can be an army.
They can control the field, output, and defend...
Except for not being able to have children, they can basically do everything.
But when their spell slots are exhausted, mages are no different from ordinary people. They may even be weaker than ordinary people because of long-term research on the mysteries of the magic network and lack of exercise.
Monger looked at the three people with sunny smiles on their faces after the battle, and waved confidently to the audience in the surrounding stands.
Several reporters specially invited by Monger were already writing furiously.
Without even looking at it, he could guess the headlines that these reporters who liked to exaggerate would come up with:
"Shock! The Kingdom's hero fought against the monsters and won easily!"
"He didn't even need to make a move, and the monsters were completely destroyed!"
"In front of the rare monsters, they used their strength to prove the value of their honor!"
"..."
Anyway, they must flatter as much as they can.
When announcing the end of the fight, Munger's teeth were almost broken, but he had to pretend to be happy about the heroic performance of Pete and the other two.
Would he dare not be happy?
At least he definitely wouldn't dare to do it on the surface.
"Send someone to communicate with Carolus a little bit, and don't release some reports that are too biased. He knows what to do."
When leaving the table, Munger squeezed out two words from his teeth and instructed his personal waiter.
Carolus was the stationery merchant who invented the news. After being invested by Munger, he is now considered Munger's subordinate.
A waiter took the order and left.
The personal attendants who serve Rune Monger have a complete team of 100 people, including men and women, ordinary people and professionals.
They work in shifts to ensure that they can respond to Monger's requests or tasks 24 hours a day.
The plan against the three "kingdom heroes" has completely failed. Monger can only try to recover the losses as much as possible.
For example, let public opinion be controlled within a limited range as much as possible.
In addition.
Monger also intends to go to the army to ask for punishment!
These monsters that he arranged to be transported to the arena were specially given to Monger.
The other party emphasized proudly at the time:
"It is impossible for anyone to have seen them, because they are the miracles of the Lord's creation!"
"They all have quite rare characteristics..."
Monger is now furious just thinking about it.
"It is impossible for anyone to have seen them? Bullshit!"
What about Pete and the others!
Predicting the future? Dangerous intuition? Or omniscience?
Just by looking at their confidence without even probing, Monger was sure that Pete and the other two were definitely not just lucky, but were well prepared!
They knew the characteristics and weaknesses of these monsters in advance, and then they could deal with them in a targeted manner.
They deceived and attacked him, a 91-year-old man, by surprise!
How shameless!
…
Rune Monger was in a bad mood.
Marquis Madison was in an even worse mood!
Because he had a debt of 100 gold coins out of nowhere!
He was one of the few people who knew the inside story, and could be considered Rune Monger's confidant.
He thought the result of this fight was a sure thing, and the so-called "kingdom hero" would soon become a circus clown for fun.
In the end, the clown was himself!
They did see a good show in the stands:
They witnessed how Pete played with three dangerous level 3 monsters and completely eliminated them with his own strength.
But this good show was different from what Marquis Madison expected!
It was like - he went to the theater to watch a light-hearted comedy, and bought a ticket for the VIP box at a high price.
As a result, when the curtain opened, a tragedy that made people's hearts bleed was staged.
What was even more infuriating was that Prince Fradin was still laughing at him not far away.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Marquis Madison is indeed far-sighted, what a great show!"
"I said it, the heroes have so much combat experience, even if it is a monster they have never seen before, they will definitely be able to observe and judge how to deal with it quickly!"
"It just so happens that I have used up a lot of my small treasury to buy gifts recently, and I am worried about how to get some more gold coins."
"Thank you for the sponsorship of Marquis Madison! Remember to send someone to deliver your 100 gold coins to the palace as soon as possible!"
Marquis Madison's scalp tingled.
100 gold coins are not a small amount for him. If he loses the bet like this, he will also feel very painful!
"Next time there is such an opportunity, Marquis Madison, remember to continue to look for me!"
There was an exclamation in the crowd.
"Marquis Madison fainted!"
"Quick, priest, treat him!"
...
And more!
