Although Edkin, Simon, Holgay and Doric were panicked and flustered for a long time because of Anne's disappearance that night, in the end, after searching to no avail, they still decided that there was nothing they could do and make a decision.

In the case of helmet de-synchronization, an alternative 'Plan B' was developed.

The general plan of the so-called ‘Plan B’ is:

First find something, such as a treasure or something valuable, such as a famous painting or something?

Then, use the teleportation staff to attach one side of the teleportation gate to the portrait in advance, then mix the 'portal gate' portrait disguised as treasure into the treasure and try to get it into the treasure house of Neverwinter City.

That way, they can sneak directly into the treasure house and empty Fuch's treasure without breaking through the difficult seal of Mordenkainen!

Originally, that plan was very difficult to realize.

But fortunately, due to the need to hold the 'Scorching Sun Competition', many wealthy people, lords and nobles in Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep City will bring their treasures and place them when they participate in the competition and participate in betting.

To the treasure house of Neverwinter City, and then temporarily kept by the organizer of the competition, that is, Neverwinter City?

And that just gave Edkin and others an opportunity to take advantage of!

So, after discovering that Annie was indeed missing and had no idea where to go to have fun, the four people, who were unable to wait due to time constraints, immediately came up with what they considered a very feasible plan overnight.

Ready to implement.

Of course, if before that, Simon could have an idea and complete the synchronization with the spell-breaking helmet, perhaps, they would eventually choose the simpler 'Plan A'?

Anyway!

Whether Edkin and others' plan was successful or not, or Anne didn't know which step it had taken.

Because she did not go with them and did not arrive at Neverwinter City until noon of the next day, riding on Tibbers' shoulders leisurely, so she was naturally unknown.

Anyway, it was not until noon, until the Scorching Sun Tournament was about to start, that she arrived in front of the arena near the Sword Coast in Neverwinter City with the bustling crowd of people who were coming and going and talking about it.

The city of Neverwinter seems to have become more prosperous and lively at this time.

Today, in the arena near the Sword Coast where two huge statues of the former heroic lords of Neverwinter stand, the ‘Scorching Sun Tournament’ that was once considered too cruel and was discontinued will be held again.

Since it has not been held for a long time, the grand occasion was unprecedented!

In the sky, a huge hot air balloon with Fudge's portrait and countless magic ribbons filled the sky of Neverwinter. In addition to the local residents of Neverwinter, countless nobles from Baldur's Gate or Waterdeep,

Travelers and wealthy businessmen are also rushing to the huge arena and preparing to watch the game.

There is no doubt that this will be a wonderful game. Both the five champion teams and the audience can feel the passion, tension and warm atmosphere before the game.

Since there was still some time before the official start of the game, countless people gathered and chatted noisily inside and outside the stadium, guessing and discussing loudly who would be the final winner.

Some of them even took out the treasures they had treasured for many years, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to bet on a certain team of contestants they were optimistic about and obtain the generous odds rewards.

At this time, preparations have begun in the huge arena in the center of the huge arena.

There, there are enchanted movable maze walls that stretch and combine up and down as if being debugged, allowing each unique maze to be displayed in front of all the audience.

Then, after debugging the magic maze for a while, as time went by, and as more and more people gathered in the auditorium of the arena, Fuch, the lord of Neverwinter whose rise to power was quite mysterious, finally finally

Appeared.

He stood on the middle wall of the magic maze that was rising higher and higher, and after reaching the highest point, he began to give a pre-game speech to the audience:

"good afternoon!"

“I’m so excited for everyone to be here!”

"welcome!"

"Whether it's the kind people of Neverwinter, or the distinguished guests from Baldur's Gate or Waterdeep!"

"welcome!"

"Welcome to Neverwinter City!"

"Welcome everyone to participate in this grand scorching sun competition!"

"today……"

"We will once again witness the battle between the best warriors!"

"Let's cheer for them together!"

"Applause for them!!"

Following the city lord's speech, the audience began to cheer and scream enthusiastically, which immediately pushed the atmosphere of the game to the highest point.

However, the game has not started now.

It was just a routine lord's speech before the game. Because the Scorching Sun Competition was interrupted for many years before being restarted by Fudge, so some entertainment methods for making money have also been restarted, such as betting on a certain team to win.

Or stick to round bets?

So, when the sun hangs high in the sky, when the hot air balloons and ribbons adorn the entire city, when the towering walls of Neverwinter City in the distance are filled with more people and soldiers, when people invariably come out of the city

When everyone gathered here in the arena, near the betting points, the spectators, especially some gamblers, of course swarmed in and used their more or less money before they went to the arena and found their seats.

Their wealth is betting on the teams they are optimistic about.

At this time, a certain troubled little girl happened to appear in front of such a betting registration point, and happened to see that among the original five participating teams, there were suddenly more "Edkin, Simon, and Holger"

And the names of the four Dorics and some descriptions of the people involved in the suddenly extra 'Rogue' team?

——————

Edkin: Human, leader of the thieves gang. Former member of the Harpers Alliance. He is a bard by profession. He is good at boosting morale with beautiful music and passionate speeches. Although it can hardly cause any physical damage to the enemy,

He always kept coming up with various plans. Unfortunately, this time his plan to seize the treasure house of Neverwinter was discovered, and he was forced to participate in the Burning Sun Competition.

Horgai: Edkin's most solid and reliable comrade-in-arms. At the same time, she is also a barbarian. She is brave, tough, and powerful, and is unstoppable when she enters the state of 'battle rage'. She was once tied up with her hands before being executed.

With only a brick as a support, she defeated the executioner and several Neverwinter soldiers and escaped calmly. But this time, she was caught again, although she had defeated an entire team of Neverwinter soldiers before being caught?

Simon: Edkin's companion is a warlock by profession. He claims to be a master of spells, has extraordinary talents and is good at using all kinds of magic. But the problem is, he didn't discover the trap in the treasure house and was caught all of a sudden?

And now, he has also been thrown into the competition. If he cannot find the key and open the magic-forbidden bracelet, he, who does not have much magic in the first place, will have no achievements in this competition!

Doric: A Druid of the Green Garden, her race is the rare Tiefling. Different from ordinary Tieflings, she looks cute and sweet, has a cold and straightforward personality, hates humans, has the ability to transform, and transforms from dexterous to

From flying birds to ferocious owl bears, she can freely transform into various animals and is good at harnessing the power of nature. But unfortunately, she does not seem to be very good at tracking, and her abilities are also questionable? It is reported that she was recruited by a man from Neverwinter City

Ordinary soldiers were caught after being hit on the back of the head with the hilt of their swords.

————————

The above is the basic introduction to the members of Edkin’s ‘Rogue’ team.

Unlike the other five teams, which have all the members and their introductions are very special, the Rogue Team only has a useless bard swordsman, a barbarian warrior, a warlock with a bound ability, and a similarly bound ability.

Just a druid.

That’s the entire ‘Rogue’ team, so they weren’t favored by a certain judge, so their ratings were very low?

But on the contrary, the odds are extremely high!

It can be seen that no one, whether it is the audience or the judges, believes that the four of them can survive to the end and win the final victory in the scorching sun competition.

Of course!

Anne didn't care what other people thought. Anyway, when she saw Uncle Edkin's names appear on the betting list, and the odds were different from the odds of others who were the best, they were as high as one to one.

After seeing the astonishing odds of '1:66' at the highest level, she suddenly thought of an interesting idea.

"..."

(ω)

Therefore, she was planning to go to the arena but subconsciously stopped.

"..."

()hey-hey!

"Let's go! Tibbers!"

()

Then, after making up her mind, she ignored the surprised looks cast by the passers-by around her and her little bear. She just patted her little bear Tibbs on the head and let him carry her forward.

Go to that gambling spot.

And soon, under the brutal squeezing and shouting of her little bear Tibbers, she forced her way to the front of the counter, blocking all the people who were crowding around to place bets behind her.

"ah!"

"Hello!"

Upon seeing this, the official in charge of gaming registration and cashiering and the few Neverwinter soldiers who were around to maintain order were naturally frightened by Tibbers's terrifying intimidation.

"Dear young lady, may I ask..."

"What's your business?"

Therefore, of course they did not dare to pursue Anne's outrageous behavior that disrupted order.

Just looking at the clothes she was wearing and the strange giant bear that was more than two meters tall that she was sitting on, I thought that Annie might be some big shot that they couldn't afford to offend, so they hurriedly

He stood up from his seat behind the counter and asked carefully in a flattering and groveling manner.
