Time Travel: Age of Discovery

"The winner! Carlos!"

Uh huh huh huh——

The quiet arena was instantly flooded with cheers like a tide, one wave after another, like the surging waves of the sea.

The audience has long heard about Sodders's strength. No previous challenger could shake his position. The challenger who was promoted this time was also because Sodders did not participate.

Even so, Sodes should not appear in the fifth ring. After all, his strength should be after the seventh ring.

In reality, all of this was carefully planned by the arena managers, who aimed to find out whether Teya was just an ordinary stone or a treasure.

At this moment, the answer is obvious.

The audience chanted Carlos' name, and Sodders fell to the ground unconscious and was carried out of the ring along with the broken blade.

However, many people have doubts in their minds. If Soders is on the fifth ring, what kind of strong opponent will he face later?

At this moment, Teya was still immersed in deep thought about the move he had just made, wondering whether he could further improve its application.

Inspiration and thoughts often come in an instant, but the problem that follows is that what you think at the time may make you have a high opinion of yourself.

But looking back, the problems have already appeared like mountains, waiting to be solved, or there may be kind people to give us guidance. After all, a bystander sees more clearly, so we fall into a cycle of continuous optimization.

Today's Teya is no longer the same as before. He has to make many decisions on his own. Since he has chosen the path, he must stick to it even if it is full of thorns.

"Oh, it seems to be taking too much time. If it is an opponent like this, can we go into battle together? Otherwise it would be a waste."

Teya covered his mouth with his hands. As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy scene seemed to be poured with cold water and cooled down instantly.

To the audience, this Carlos seemed a little arrogant, even though he did have extraordinary strength.

The host wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Uh, Carlos, are you serious?"

A moment later, the host received instructions from above and coughed twice. "We just received news that Carlos is eligible to advance directly, but if he wants to continue the challenge... he can start from the ninth stage, as the contestants in the previous stages have all withdrawn."

The audience: "Ah? This..."

In the ninth arena, could it be that the previous swordsmen were not as good as him?

In fact, it’s not that the predecessors were weaker, but that they knew they could not win.

After witnessing the battle of Teya, they realized that they could not win, so they might as well give up directly. Although their salary would be deducted, it was better than returning with serious injuries.

Teya was thinking about how to deal with the next opponent when he heard the host say:

"Mr. Carlos, you now have fifteen minutes to rest."

……

A town on Fuyu Island.

Steam rose from the teapot on the fire.

The shopkeeper took down the kettle and filled the three cups on the tea table with about half a cup of tea.

"You mean, he's your eldest brother?"

Smoker scratched his head, and was elbowed by Tina before nodding in acknowledgment.

"I said he looked very young," the shopkeeper said with a smile. "Have you been traveling all this time?"

"Grandpa, actually we have never been out to sea before. This time it was because Big Brother was willing to take us, so we went with him."

What Tina said was true. Although Teya was their instructor, they had a close relationship and Tina really regarded Teya as her brother.

Smoker's mind was in a mess just now, and now he naturally understood what Tina meant.

The shopkeeper nodded. At first he was puzzled by the young man bringing two children with him, but when he saw that the children had grown up and the man did not look like their father, he was relieved.

However, the young man dared to set foot in that area. Although the store owner did not know the details, he learned from the children on the island that many people who went there disappeared and never returned.

The area is surrounded by mountains and has steep terrain. This is the only traversable route. Since that group of people contracted the Garin Orchard on the island, no one on the island has set foot on the road leading to the canyon except outsiders.

Curiosity killed the cat. The shop owner is old and just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace, but he still has a wish, which is to manage the Garin Orchard again. After all, it carries his memories.

The shopkeeper smiled and gently stroked Tina's head with his wrinkled hand, saying, "You two can stay here for the time being. By the way, didn't you say he would be back within three days?"

Tina felt that the old man's hands were rough but exceptionally warm. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

Since the two children are so confident, he, as an outsider, has nothing to say. The young man may really have something extraordinary. All he can do as an old man is to take good care of the two children. The store can also be lively for two days, which is good.

"Okay, then how about you two help Grandpa with some cleaning?"

"Of course I am happy to do so."

A moment later, Tina and Smoker changed into cleaning clothes and started cleaning with the shop owner. The crackling sounds were like they were moving.

The shopkeeper walked towards the back door with his arms full of sundries and looked back at the shop.

It's time to change the look.

……

In the lounge.

"Mr. Carlos, you are truly amazing! Those words speak with the demeanor of a powerful man."

"No, I'm afraid I'm not calm enough."

The green-haired girl looked at Teya with admiration, as if she had seen her idol. Teya smiled without saying much.

Teya accidentally looked at the green-haired girl. Although she was wearing a cloak and was about 1.75 meters tall, she was not considered tall in the pirate world.

But her round face and innocent expression made people think that she meant no harm, but Teya had other ideas.

From the beginning to the end, he felt that this girl gave him a strange feeling, perhaps because of her identity as an arena staff member. Although the feeling was not good, Thea did not object. After all, she always answered Thea's questions patiently.

Teya wasn't in the mood for small talk at the moment. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, who is my opponent in the ninth arena? Can you tell me?"

The green-haired girl looked a little solemn, then smiled brightly.

"Well, I can't tell you that, but don't worry, the opponent's strength is no less than Soders, and... hehe, it's better not to tell."
