Chapter 264 Get up early
As birdsong filled the air, the Sand City entered a new day.
Knight did the same. He had just finished getting dressed when he woke up Dopp, who was still asleep, and pulled her out onto the street.
"Why are you up so early...?"
Dopp put on her unique mini black robe again, but she was no longer as energetic as usual. After all, she had just been pulled out of bed and was still sleepy.
"Being late isn't a knight's style, Dopp..."
Knight was an extremely disciplined person. While Dopp was still staying up late reading picture books, he had already fallen asleep. Of course, given his physical condition, even if he didn't sleep, he would still be full of energy.
"There's still so much time, why are you being late! Honestly..."
At this point, Dop couldn't help but complain a bit, as today was the day the organizers had gathered all the contestants together.
The purpose of this gathering is twofold: first, to allow the players to get to know each other, and second, to draw lots to determine the order of matches on the first day of the God War and their respective match targets.
In fact, the organizers also took into account the schedules of the contestants and extended the start time to noon, after consulting with all the contestants.
However, the straightforward Knight insisted on leaving early, which left Dopp speechless. It was like a student who was supposed to start school at nine o'clock, but could have left at eight o'clock, but his parents insisted that he get up at six.
The reason is that they were afraid of being late.
What do you mean by late!
"Should we slow down? That way we won't arrive too early."
"Is there something wrong with you?"
In the end, the two continued on their way to the venue.
The venue, which is also the arena for the final battle of the gods, is called the Sand Gold Arena. It is the largest and most luxurious arena in the entire Sand Kingdom, and the final battle of the gods has always been held here.
"Wow, it's huge..."
Knight, who was not a literary man, could only offer the simplest praise in the face of such a magnificent building.
"Hurry up and go in!"
Dopp, on the other hand, didn't feel much about it. She had seen much more magnificent buildings. She might glance at a sand gold arena a few times on a normal day, but now she was so sleepy that she couldn't be bothered with such things.
As she expected, the Sand Gold Arena did have a preparation lounge, which was also where the players met to draw lots.
To Dopp and Knight's surprise, they weren't the first to arrive. When they opened the door to the lounge, they found a gaunt man in a purple robe sitting cross-legged on a mat, meditating with his eyes closed.
Knight didn't recognize the man immediately, but when Dopp saw him, she shuddered. As Knight's chief tactician, she naturally knew most of the contestants.
"Be careful, if I'm not mistaken, he is Shesta."
"Xie Siduo?"
"That's right, it's that guy who's rumored to be a Gold-rank. I heard he's very strong, so you have to be careful."
After saying that, Dopp couldn't help but look at the guy again. Although the guy didn't open his eyes, she still felt a sinister atmosphere around him.
Compared to Dopp's worry and tension, Knight felt a surge of fighting spirit. After all, encountering a strong enemy is the greatest blessing for a duelist, isn't it?
He even wanted to go up and say hello, but Dopp stopped him; she didn't want to deal with such a gloomy person.
For the next while, no one entered the lounge; only the three people sat silently inside.
Perhaps unable to bear the atmosphere, or perhaps unwilling to continue sharing a room with that gloomy fellow, Dopp suggested that Knight go outside for a walk to clear his head.
"Look! There's a kitten!"
"Never mind that, your opponents are here."
The two stood outside for a while. Knight was attracted by a kitten carrying a small fish. He was about to go over and hug it when Dop stopped him. Other contestants were also entering the arena one after another, and Dop didn't want Knight to show weakness in front of them.
"There aren't many strong competitors this year, but you should still pay close attention."
"The two leading the way are Glock and Reifess. They are both quite strong, powerful melee classes, but I initially estimate that they are no match for you."
"I don't recognize the people walking next to him yet. I need to know their names to analyze them for you."
"The man and woman behind them, if I'm not mistaken, should be Green Snake and Dog Fang respectively. Green Snake's fighting style is agile and unpredictable, while Dog Fang is ferocious and ruthless. Neither of them are easy to deal with, so you should be careful."
"Especially the Green Snake..."
As they were talking, Dopp's brows suddenly furrowed, as did Knight's.
They discovered that the dog had stepped on the cat's little fish while walking, which angered the cat, who then meowed in protest.
But who is Dogtooth? He's lucky if he doesn't kick you twice when he passes by, and you still dare to meow at him.
So he immediately stepped on the cat's head, pressing down with just enough force to make the cat feel pain.
"You little beast, how dare you bark at your grandpa dog!"
"Are you going to keep calling or not?"
Dopp and Knight are both people with a strong sense of justice, and they couldn't help but feel a little guilty when they saw this scene. Knight was about to step forward, but at that moment, the situation changed again.
boom!
A figure walking past from behind suddenly bumped into Dog Tooth, causing him to stumble forward and almost fall to the ground. The seemingly unintentional action was actually full of provocation.
"Damn it, who hit your grandpa?"
Dogtooth immediately cursed angrily, then looked at the black-robed man who was passing by.
"So you're the fuck who you are?"
"Stop it!"
"You dare to hit me? Do you even know who I am?"
"Apologize to me right now, what happened today is unacceptable..."
Dogtooth immediately grabbed the man's clothes, stopping him from moving forward, while he cursed angrily, clearly showing his rage.
However, just as he was halfway through his sentence, his dog tooth suddenly got stuck, and at that moment the man turned around and looked at him.
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
"sorry."
