Silver Throne

Tournament starts

Not far from the castle of the city governor of Aurum, there is a giant Colosseum building that can accommodate more than 100,000 people.

Unlike the Colosseum, which was usually used as a performance venue for nobles and wealthy people, slaves or prisoners would be forced to live life and death duels.

The Colosseum in Aurum is usually used only for Knight training and major events such as talent tournaments held today.

Currently the entire section of the Colosseum was already filled with people who intended to watch the match not even a single place looked empty.

And on one of the front is seen Evan version of black hair who was sitting casually while chewing the pastry in his mouth.

For this show, Evan has prepared everything necessary such as tickets for the front seat, sunglasses are useful to cover his eyes so as not to look strange and do not forget a lot of snacks and fruit juice stored in the Blue Rose Ring.

Before leaving, Evan also sought some information about the rules that must be obeyed by each participant, including being strictly prohibited from killing other participants unless there was agreement between the two parties before, including the two parties, it is prohibited to use poisonous weapons, weapons and armor will be provided by the organizing committee and most importantly each participant must comply with the directions given by the referee.

If anyone violates any of the above rules, the participant will be disqualified directly and may not participate in the tournament again for the rest of his life.

And for the tournament stage itself is not much different from previous years.

The first stage was the preliminary round, since the number of participants who met the requirements was too many, it was impossible for a one-on-one duel to be held since it would take a very long time.

So the organizers decided to hold a battle royale to be the theme of the first stage.

Not far from the city of Aurum there is a dense forest rarely touched by humans and this is where the first stage of the tournament will be held.

All participants will be moved to different locations in the forest, each of them will receive a special gold coin and their task is to collect as many coins as possible.

This stage will last from sunrise to sunset and the 100 people who earn the most coins will be able to proceed to the next stage.

" Greetings, Governor. "

As Evan was recalling the rules and stages of the tournament, there suddenly came a very loud cry from the people around him.

When he woke up and looked around, he realized that everyone had stood up and bowed his body towards the center of the Colosseum.

Reflexively Evan immediately directed his gaze towards where the people bowed and were right in the empty and wide area in the middle of the Colosseum there was currently a middle-aged man there.

This man had short blonde hair and a very handsome face, even Evan who has a very high level of aesthetics must admit that the man standing in the middle of the Colosseum is one of the most handsome people he has ever seen besides his own father and brother.

Not that Evan wanted to boast of his family's bloodline, though, but every descendant of the Silverash family did have an extremely outstanding appearance even said to rival the High Elves known as the most beautiful creatures in the World of Ruins.

In fact all the descendants of the 5 supreme leaders had extremely exaggerated appearances, probably because of their extremely pure High Human blood every one of them would have extremely exquisite talent and appearance, he said, especially the Silverash family and the Landover Empire family.

Since time immemorial, these two supreme leaders have often been compared, Silverash which is the holy land of the Knights and Landover which is the Magic Empire is always competing to prove who is better between the Knights and the Magicians.

" Well, you may sit back, some of you may already know who I am but some may not, my name is Brian Eleanor and is the current governor of Aurum. "

Brian who was currently right in the center of the Colosseum finally started saying something that made Evan's expression darken.

[Damn it, from his gestures I guess he'll do a very long and boring welcome, why every big event that's interesting will always be like this. ]

And sure enough, after introducing himself, Brian began to talk at length about the tournament being held at this time.

" Today is a special day, not only do we commemorate the founding day of our beloved city, we will also hold a talent search tournament that most young people in the Silverash region are looking forward to.

With the permission and assistance of our leader, the Silverash family, we, the higher-ups of the city of Aurum, finally managed to hold this great event.

... "

Due to Brian's mostly useless nonsense, Evan who was initially very excited begins to yawn from boredom as time goes on.

After waiting for a full 2 hours, Evan who was about to fall asleep finally heard the highly anticipated sentence.

" ... Alright, without lingering any longer, as the city governor of Aurum I announce, the talent search tournament is officially starting ! "

Plok...

Along with the ending Brian said, the sound of an excited exclamation accompanied by applause from all the spectators present rang out at almost every corner of the Colosseum and shortly after it appeared a giant screen of light that showed the view of a rainforest that was very broad and thick.

Besides the screen also shows the list of participants who participated in this talent search tournament which amounted to a total of 1000 people.

Actually there are more than 1000 people who register to participate in this tournament, but because the maximum limit of participants is only selected 1000 people and the selection process is also very tight regardless of status at all.

Because of the location of the first stage of the tournament that did not allow the spectators to see in person, it was because of the location of the first stage of the tournament that did not allow the spectators to see directly, the organizers decided to use a special artifact that allows to project directly the state of the participants through a giant light screen in the middle of the Colosseum.

And besides that the organizing committee also provides a VIP version of the artifact that can be used personally.

In addition to being personally usable, the VIP version of the artifact also allows users to view the location of their favorite participants unlike a giant light screen that will only show the participants selected by the committee.

Although very convenient to use, artifacts are only used by a small number of people because the price is very expensive and Evan is definitely not a person who is short of money.

As the giant screen of light began to light up, Evan took out a small, golden, circular object with a sun symbol on the front and a small silver sword on the back.

When Evan pressed the small sun symbol slowly, suddenly a square light screen with an area of 30 X 30 cm appeared in front of his body.
