Chapter 35 - Choice of Weapon

"Don't worry." In the end, Lin Lei only said these three words.

The masked man arrived on a hot afternoon while Lin Lei was lying on his bed, taking an afternoon nap.

"Oh, why did you choose to come when I'm sleeping again?"

Lin Lei rose to his feet, rubbing his eyes. He was rather dazed.

"It's already three in the afternoon. I thought you'd be awake by now."

The masked man was speechless.

"Oh," he said.

"I'm here to ask you if you have any last words and how you plan to distribute your inheritance."

The masked man went straight to the point.

"What last words can I possibly leave behind? If it's about my inheritance, I'll leave it all to Daisy."

"I don't want your inheritance."

Daisy refused without waiting for the masked man to speak.

"I might not die." Lin Lei looked at the masked man in puzzlement. "Why are you asking me how to deal with the inheritance? Are you so sure that I will lose?"

Hearing Lin Lei's words, the masked man was stunned.

He found Lin Lei's question very strange.

Dragons were very powerful gladiators, and anyone who had seen Daisy's battle with the dragon would have a more comprehensive understanding of the strength of dragons.

Thus, in this battle, Lin Lei would definitely lose.

"Of course, I want you to win."

The masked man sighed.

"You don't know how arrogant the people of Halhaza are now, but the strength of the dragon is real. I've seen your strength, and if I'm not wrong, you have no chance of winning."

"What if a miracle happens?"

"Then, as your partner and a resident of Talantum, I'll naturally be happy from the bottom of my heart."

"Then please sell me a weapon." Lin Lei suddenly thought of how the Grand Sword Saint had to have a handy weapon. Otherwise, how would the Grand Sword Saint be able to use his techniques to defeat the dragon?

"But you've never used a weapon?"

The masked man stared at Lin Lei in surprise while pulling out one weapon after another.

"I'm going up against a dragon, so I have to act differently from the past."

Lin Lei casually brushed it off, and then in his heart, he secretly called out to the Grand Swordmaster.

"Senior, which sword do you want?"

"I want the one with the chain!"

The Grand Swordmaster's voice sounded excited.

"With the chain?"

Lin Lei's gaze slowly swept through the various weapons, but he still did not find a sword with a chain. The only thing with a chain was a meteor hammer.

"Senior, I can't find a sword with a chain. How about you point me in the right direction?"

"The fourth one from your left! I'm telling you, this sword is definitely a very powerful sword. You must buy it!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get it for you now." Lin Lei hurriedly consoled.

Then, he looked at the first weapon to his left, which was a green sword. The second weapon was a big hammer, the third was a long spear, and the fourth was a meteor hammer?

No, no. Lin Lei began to count again. The first was a green sword, the second was a big hammer, the third was a long spear, and the fourth was a meteor hammer?

"Senior, do you want this?" With great difficulty, Lin Lei reached out with his hand toward the meteor hammer.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is it!"

The Great Sword Saint's voice was filled with excitement. "Hurry up and buy it!"

Lin Lei was speechless.

"You want this meteor hammer?"

The masked man, seeing that Lin Lei had placed his hand on the meteor hammer for a long time without moving, asked.

"That's right, I want this meteor hammer."

Hearing the Grand Sword Saint's constant urging in his mind, Lin Lei nodded helplessly.

"I thought you'd choose a sword or something."

"I also thought..." Lin Lei's lips twitched.

"What?"

"It's nothing. I mean, I think this meteor hammer suits my temperament better."

The masked man stared at Lin Lei for a long time, then let out a soft laugh.

"In my memory, it seems that every time you meet a strong opponent, you're always this calm as if you have a way to solve all your problems. And you do solve them." The masked man sighed.

"As a citizen of Talantum and for the honor of Talantum, I'll give you some magic reagents. These magic reagents can help you improve your fire resistance."

The masked man took out a box filled with reagents and placed it in front of Lin Lei.

"This is the only time I've made a losing deal in my life. Bull Butcher, may the God of War, Kallius, bless you."

"Thank you," Lin Lei said.

Lin Lei rose to his feet, and for the first time, he bowed solemnly to the masked man.

"You should thank yourself for creating miracles time and time again. It gives me the thought that maybe you can create a miracle this time too."

The masked man shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.

Although this battle would affect Talantum's reputation, the majority of the people in the city did not think that Lin Lei would be able to win this duel.

The gladiator competition was about to begin, and the wins and losses of the gladiators would be placed on the card table of the casinos.

A large group of gamblers in the city had long been waiting at the entrance of the gambling dens for the opening of the bet.

When the casinos announced the opening of the bet, the gamblers held a tray of chips in their hands and scrambled to throw their chips to bet on the dragon.

Of course, there were also some who wanted to place their bets on Lin Lei.

However, these few people were soon ridiculed or dissuaded.

"Brother, I've told you, Bull Butcher will definitely lose this gladiator match. Don't do anything stupid."

A skinny man with a goatee, who had just finished placing his chips on the dragon's side, saw his silly friend holding a tray of chips, about to place them in Lin Lei's direction. He was so frightened that he immediately ran over to stop him.

"But Bull Butcher wins every time."

The big guy was confused.

"You don't understand. Although Bull Butcher is very strong, he's like a quail in front of an eagle when he meets a dragon. They're not on the same level at all. So, don't do anything stupid. Put the chips on the dragon's side," the thin man advised.

"Alright." The big guy nodded. His friend was very smart, so he was used to listening to his advice, and it was naturally the same this time.

However, just as the big guy placed the chips on the dragon's side, two guards in armor carried a large box of silver coins into the casino.

Due to their different identities and the large amount of money they had, they were noticed by many gamblers the moment they appeared in the casino.

The two guards carried the silver coins over to Lin Lei's side. Just as they were about to place them in, a kind-hearted person said, "Guards, this side is betting on Bull Butcher. The other side is the dragon."

The guards ignored him, placing the entire chest of silver coins on Lin Lei's side.

Immediately, one of them said to the steward, "Princess Lana will bet 50,000 silver coins on Bull Butcher."
