Zeki's words finally got everyone's attention.
"First I want to inform you that the difficulty of the game is measured by the number, for example, game arena 1 is easiest while 8th is the hardest, but the rewards are also better.
The second information is that only in case of being the first to win the game in the whole district will you get the rewards of specific arenas. For example, as you were the first to win this arena you will now receive rewards but no one after you will receive them.
And the third and most important information is that only the group that will close all the games in their district will receive the map of the next stage, no one else, only one group in one district."
With his words, Morana's initial guesses were confirmed. This truly was an important piece of information that gave them an advantage over other groups.
"What are the rewards for this arena?" Asked Morana.
Hearing Morana's question, Zeki took out a box.
"Here are 12 bracelets, with them you will be able to check if there are any other teams near you. You can also check which games have not yet been cleared and each bracelet has a function of one hint."
After taking a bracelet each, the team left the game arena 5th.
"So, where to now?" Asked Mari.
"In our group only these three are exhausted, but they can't participate in the next game anyway, I say we go after another game in order not to lose our advantage." Said Ezra.
"I agree, but which game should we go after next?" Asked Zoel.
"There are two arenas near us, the 3rd arena called "Domino" and the 8th arena called "Warlord." Said Sophia.
"Let's go for the 3rd one, 8th arena is the hardest in the whole district and it won't be that easy to clear, it's better to get some experience with games before going for that one." Said Zoel and looked around for others' opinions.
Nobody had a better idea and Zoel's words sounded very logical so they all decided to go after the 3rd area "Domino."
The way to the arena was boring and quiet so as an enthusiastic person Mari tried to liven it all up.
"By the way what does the word 'Domino' mean? Is it some kind of ancient language?" She asked suddenly.
Others also didn't know the meaning of the word, so they didn't know what to answer. Seeing the situation Morana spoke drawing everyone's attention.
"It's an old game."
"Game?"
"Hmm. A board game."
"How do you play it?" Asked Sophia, others were also interested.
"Domino can be played with a maximum of 4 and a minimum of 2 people. The game has 28 tales and each tile is split in two parts where dots are painted. Each side has a max of 6 dots and a minimum of 0 dots making 6/6 the highest tile and 0/0 the lowest." Morana started explaining the rules of Domino and everyone was listening with fascination at the end Mari couldn't help but blurt out
"But this domino doesn't seem like a dangerous game."
"Well it originally isn't but we are in dream city so it will probably have some kind of twist." Answered Morana and everyone nodded in agreement, but then they were all surprised by her next words
"I will play this game."
"But you are blind, are you sure?" Asked Cliff blatantly.
"I will be fine. I have a way. Moreover, I am the only one who actually knows how to play this game and it's an advantage as I don't think lots of people here will know the rules."
They couldn't help but agree with her but were still a bit worried.
When they were very close to the 3rd game arena Zoel suddenly stopped and everyone turned towards him to find out the reason.
There are other teams here. I see 2 other teams, one will arrive before us and 1 after us. There is also a third one, they already arrived'' He said while looking down on his bracelet.
"Anyway Domino needs 4 players so it's just right." Said Said Morana and found a more comfortable position in Samael's arms then motioned for him to continue walking.
Seems like this was going to turn into a fierce and bloody battle and the team could not help feeling a little excited as well as a little worried.
And sure enough, when they arrived at the arena 2 teams were already there looking at each other fiercely and when they walked in all their gazes fell on Morana and others.
"Finally, now we only need one more team." Said one guy who had impatience written all over his face.
"Hello everyone I am Martha host of the 3rd game arena `Domino''' Said a loli in a maid outfit.
Martha had a bob-cut purple hair, same-colored eyes, glasses, and well she was a loli so she was very short.
she pulled out a tray full of cookies and offered it to the team
"Would you like some house special cookies?"
At her action, the previous impatient guy finally lost it.
"Stop offering cookies to everyone there is no way that someone is dumb enoug" But his words were cut off when he saw Morana nonchalantly reaching out for a cookie and munching on it.
Her actions were so fast that it surprised all three teams and even Martha. She really didn't think anyone would eat cookies.
As if the shock wasn't enough Morana even started commenting on the cookie.
"Hmm, the flavor isn't bad but instead of using thunderous mountain snake venom you should try using red send scorpions venom it will enhance the flavor and take away all bitterness of the rainbow green tea."
'What is this little boy talking about what snake venom, what scorpion venom, and what the fu8k is a rainbow green tea?' Was what everyone in the room thought.
But their thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of the 4th team.
Seeing that all the participants were here Martha but away her smile and put on her business face.
"Well since you are all here we shall now start the game."
