[Fourth update, a bit late. I can't be lazy after seeing everyone's vote.]
Dorothy was a demon. She was good at mental attacks and had the most powerful illusion spells among demons. He was smart enough to know that Sallin was feeling pity for her. The extra ten gold coins were Dorothy's own idea. This human swordsman was poor, and ten gold coins right now would be more useful than ten thousand gold coins in the future.
As expected, Long Di burst into tears when he saw the gold coins Dorothy put on the table.
But Long Di did not take the equipment and gold coins immediately. Instead, he asked, "Who is your master?"
"Of course, His Majesty Sallin, the king of Metatlin."
Long Di knelt down on one knee and saluted as a swordsman should. "Please tell His Majesty that I will live up to his expectations and follow him for the rest of my life."
Dorothy smiled, turned around, and suddenly disappeared from Long Di's sight.
Londi was quite shocked. The room was facing the arena, and there was a huge glass door. The door was not open, so how did that woman get out?!
Damn it!
Long Di finally calmed down. The equipment and gold coins were all on the table. There was also a black badge next to them. That was the symbol of Sallin's 6th Battalion. Long Di caressed the magic armor and thought to himself, Even an inconspicuous maid under the city lord is so powerful. He obviously didn't give me these things to buy people's hearts. I'm not worth it. That woman could easily kill him with a single move.
In fact, Dorothy was not as strong as he thought. If he were a Sword Saint, Dorothy might not be his match. But Dorothy was good at illusion spells, which were fatal to swordsmen.
Dorothy's strength was that the way she left had shocked Long Di and left a shadow of fear in him. When he faced Dorothy in the future, Long Di would not be able to use even half of his usual strength. He would not be able to wash away the shadow in his heart until he became a Silver Sword Saint.
Also, Dorothy's actions made Long Di even more grateful to Sallin and loyal to him. Dorothy was hinting to Long Di that Sallin had countless capable people around him and that he was not a talent at all.
This kind of trick would have been easily seen through by Salin, but Londi didn't know how sinister a demon's thoughts were. He had completely fallen into the trap.
Dorothy had killed two birds with one stone. She had made Londi completely grateful to Salin, and he would no longer be a threat to her in the future. The craftiness of the Evil Demons was evident.
This method was known as Mind Seed in the Demonic Plane, and only a demon with Dorothy's bloodline could use it. This was the same as Salin's computational ability. It wasn't luck, but real skill. That was what made Dorothy most outstanding.
If Dorothy were to lead an army, everyone in the army would be willing to die for her. However, Dorothy's level was too low to control those who were too strong.
After taking care of Long Di, Dorothy returned and told Salin about her methods in a low voice.
That was Dorothy's shrewdness. If he didn't say it, Nelis would kill him if she found out. Tell Sarin that Neris won't deal with him.
However, telling Salin wouldn't do him any harm. Salin couldn't tell Londi what he had done.
During the break, the minor nobles outside the high platform all came to greet Salin. The nobles on the high platform also came to Salin's side to chat.
The next match was the competition between the contestants. Salin hosted the drawing ceremony. The sixteen professionals who had entered the finals were divided into eight groups.
The importance of equipment could be seen from the sixteen people. None of them were poor like Londi. They all had at least two pieces of magic equipment on them.
After an hour's break, the finals officially began.
Isabella's actions made all the contestants in the finals feel helpless. As soon as she entered the field, she cast two protective spells on herself and persuaded her opponent to surrender with a level-six magic scroll in her hand.
The duels without Isabella were all exciting. At least, everyone was wounded. The audience was very excited. As soon as Isabella appeared, the entire arena fell silent. Her opponent could only give up the match.
Stone Skin plus a layer of ice pattern armor wasn't something a swordsman could break instantly. On the other hand, her Rank 6 Magic Scroll could very well cost someone their life.
These people weren't afraid of death, but dying in the arena was worthless.
Isabella made it all the way to the last round. Her opponent had a magic heavy sword. This magic heavy sword actually had three permanent spells on it. With this weapon, her opponent successfully entered the final duel.
The audience had high hopes for the Magic Swordsman. Isabella's matches were simply drowsy. As soon as she appeared, she persuaded her opponent to surrender. Her opponent was also very tactful. The audience had long been dissatisfied with this Tanggula person.
"Get rid of her!" Someone in the audience shouted, and the people nearby echoed. Then, the audience in other areas followed suit. This kind of thing also happened in polo, but this was a large arena with fifty thousand people. Tens of thousands of people shouting together felt completely different.
The Magic Swordsman was a young man in his twenties. Before entering the final match, he changed the magic core on his magic heavy sword. In order to defeat this female mage, he didn't hesitate to use up all the intermediate magic cores he had. This damned Tanggula person was still so arrogant here! He had to defeat her!
Defeating a mage was something to be proud of. Especially when the enemy was from the Tanggula Empire. He didn't have to worry about angering Qin Yin's mages.
Isabella didn't feel pressured by the anger of tens of thousands of people. She smiled and walked into the arena. After buffing herself with three spells, she took out a black magic scroll.
The Magic Swordsman's face darkened. His opponent actually wanted to use a high-level magic scroll. Even the cheapest high-level magic scroll cost tens of thousands of gold coins. This crazy woman, is she doing this for the 100 gold prize?
Isabella smiled. "You're not a sword saint. If you use a level-seven spell, I guarantee you'll die a horrible death. Why don't you just surrender? "
Isabella's voice was amplified by the magic formation. The audience in the arena heard her annoying advice again.
"Kill her! Neo, we support you! "
The chaotic voices rang out again. Isabella didn't take it to heart at all. She continued to say to the unfortunate Magic Swordsman, "I definitely can't control this spell right now. Your chances of surviving are less than one in a thousand. Why bother? The most you can do is poke a hole in my body. You can't kill me. "
The Magic Swordsman called Neo wanted to cry. He was sure that Isabella was a level-five mage. However, some precious scrolls could cast spells two levels higher. The black scroll in Isabella's hand was genuine. He didn't want to gamble with his life.
In reality, Isabella's spiritual power would be depleted after she used a level-seven spell. She would no longer be able to attack. However, he couldn't defend against or dodge a level-seven spell. He would die before Isabella lost her ability to fight. If it wasn't a one-on-one battle in the arena, Isabella wouldn't have dared to do this even if she had a novice swordsman by her side.
"I! Surrender … "Neo covered his face and fell. The arena immediately fell into chaos again.
"That Magic Swordsman is such a coward!"
"Is he from Qin Yin? Definitely not. He's probably hiding his background. "
"The Tanggula Empire has no right to participate in the tournament!"
At this time, Salin opened the transmission magic seal and said, "I am your king. Quiet down."
Salin's words were very effective. The noise in the arena instantly disappeared. Everyone looked over and waited for Salin's decision.
"If I disqualify Isabella just because she's from Tanggula Empire, it's not only unfair to her, but it's also unfair to all of you. Everyone knows that the arena has a guessing competition. If I break the rules and disqualify a contestant, then who will compensate the person who guessed correctly?
"Therefore, I announce the winner of the first match in the Metatlin Arena — Isabella."
Salin's words were very concise. Actually, even if he didn't explain, the audience couldn't do anything. However, people were after benefits. Salin's words woke the audience up. If they could change the result of a match at will, what if they guessed correctly in the future? What if someone wanted to manipulate the match? This was a common occurrence in polo matches.
After Salin announced the result of the match, Daniel was in charge of the following matters. Salin left the high platform very decisively and entered the secret room at the back. He brought everyone around him and then said to Nelis, "Go get that Isabella. I want to ask her what she's trying to do."
The final match of the finals should have been very exciting, but Isabella's appearance overturned Eleanor's plan. When this woman signed up, she didn't show her Level-5 Magician ability.
This was an oversight on the organizer's part. The rules had been posted long ago, and Isabella was just using the loophole in the rules. The problem was that if some hothead insisted on fighting her to the death, then she would suffer a great loss. Especially in the final match, she had to use a precious Level-7 magic scroll. This Level-7 scroll could only be used by Level-5 Magicians.
Salin originally had a blank scroll of an even higher level, but it was a pity that he used it. Now, Salin didn't even have such an item. Why was Isabella willing to use such a precious one-time use item? If this scroll was sold to Alchemy City, even if it was only Level-7, it could be sold for more than 100,000 gold coins.
This scroll was precious because it could be used to research a lot of magic knowledge, including breakthroughs in the structure of the scroll.
