The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



Fane nodded, smiling as he explained, "When we just entered the city, there happened to be someone walking over with a black iron medal. Those who win the medal are called black iron warriors.

"When normal warriors saw the black iron warrior, they gave way to him. Even though they were definitely a little jealous, they were mostly filled with respect. If all it took was just winning three matches in a row normally, they would not have been so respectful..."

Rudy was even more puzzled at that, but he did not interrupt Fane, and quietly listened on.

Fane continued to explain, "I said so much just to show you that getting a black iron medal is something incredibly difficult. In order to get a black iron medal, you have to start a black iron bet before the battle.

"A black iron bet is a leveled-up bet! The upper limit of the bet is raised to a million spirit crystals from fifty thousand!" After hearing that, Rudy's mouth widened in shock.

From fifty thousand to a million? That was a huge leap. Rudy never expected that at all. No wonder it was called a black iron bet!

Even for those wealthy warriors from high-grade clans, a million spirit crystals was no easy feat. After

all, it was definitely not a small number.

Rudy muttered, "Then you'd really go bankrupt if you lose."

As an alchemist, Rudy was richer than any ordinary warrior. However, even after accumulating so much wealth, there was still no way he would take

out a million spirit crystals in one go. That sum was enough to completely dry Rudy out. Thinking about that, he shuddered.

Fane continued to explain, "Starting© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

a black iron bet will allow you to get

a black iron medal after winning three rounds in a row. Normal matches will never give you a black iron medal. The moment you start the bet, you won't be allowed off the stage unless you win three matches in a row!"

Rudy frowned and said, "So what you mean is, even if you're injured after winning one match, you have after winning to continue forward. You need to continge with the next two battles. Only by finishing the three matches and winning all of them will you be allowed off!"

Fane nodded. Rudy was getting smarter. Fane had just offered a few hints, and Rudy immediately understood the rules. Rudy sighed and responded seriously, "Then the chances of dying must be way too high. It would be considered good if even half of the people who started a bet like that survived."

Fane nodded, pointing up three fingers, "You're thinking about it too optimistically. Out of ten people who have started the black iron bet, only three

survived."

That means that there was a seventy percent chance of dying. Rudy's lips twitched, leaving only shock in his heart. No wonder everyone reacted that way after hearing that Arne would start a black iron bet. That was where the problem was.

To clear his name, Arne planned on never getting off the stage unless he died. It was enough to show how confident Arne was in himself, or Arne would have never started that bet.

Rudy blinked as he said excitedly, "The black iron bet is something good for us. We can put in a bet of a million spirit crystals. If the odds are good, we might be able to win a few million in one go!"

Even though he did not know why Fane needed so many spirit crystals, Rudy would still be sincerely happy for Fane if they won and got even more spirit crystals.

Fane nodded, "It's definitely a good thing for us."
