Welcome to the biggest

attraction in Hugel, the

Monster Race Arena.

How may I help you today?

Monster Races originated from

simple children's games in which

Cute Pets would race against each other. This grew into an adult

pastime that is so popular, we've built a racing arena in Hugel.

Our Monster Race Arena hosts

two types of monster races. First, we have the Single Monster Race,

in which those that wagered on the 1st place monster are rewarded.

Then, we have the Dual Monster

Race in which the house odds and rewards are greater than in Single

Monster Races: you must wager on 2 monsters, and they must place in

1st and 2nd for you to win.

Although a small entrance

fee is required, we only use

the money to give rewards to

participants and maintain this

arena. Therefore, we're not

profiting from this enterprise.

Also, we prohibit others

from making personal bets

and wagers, using items and

zeny, based on the outcomes

of these races. That kind of

gambling is illegal here...

Once you enter the Race Arena, you will receive a Racing Ticket.

Keep in mind that winning Racing Tickets can only be exchanged for

Prize Medals during a 5 minute window after the end of the race.

The entrance fee for all races

in the Monster Race Arena is

2,000 zeny. If you'd like to wager on a Dual Monster Race, then

please ask my brother Erenes,

and he will help you.

Otherwise, I'll help get you

started if you're interested

in a Single Monster Race.

Would you like wager on

a Single Monster Race?

Very well. I hope that

you enjoy your time here

in the Monster Race Arena~

Oh, wow. You're carrying

an awful lot of stuff... Yeah,

you better put some of it away

in Kafra Storage or something.

I'm sorry, but you

don't have enough

money to pay the

2,000 zeny entrance fee.

Hm? What are you doing

with an expired Racing Ticket?

Well, I better get rid of it for you before it can get mixed up

with your new Racing Ticket.

Alright, I think you

should be all set. I hope

that you enjoy the race~

Let me guide you inside

the Monster Race Arena now.

Thanks, I hope that

you enjoy this race.

Let me guide you now

to the Monster Race Arena.

We're still finishing our

preparations for the next

Single Monster Race, so

we ask that you please

wait a little while longer...

Right now, a Monster Race

is in progress. It's too late to place a wager, but if you'd like

to watch, the fee is 500 zeny

for spectators. Would you like to enter the Monster Race Arena?

Alright, then. If you'd like

to wager on a monster

race, please wait for the

current race to finish. I hope

that you enjoy your time here

Thank you~

I hope you enjoy

watching this race!

I'm sorry, but you don't

have enough money to pay

the 500 zeny spectator fee.

I'm sorry, but a monster

race has just ended, so we're

having the 5 minute period in

which the winners can claim

their Prize Medals. The gate

will open soon, so please wait.
