Chapter 285: The Great Escape (1) (Page 1/1)
"Lord Boyle, tomorrow's gladiatorial announcement has been officially released. ”
Ackerman's deferential appearance made Todd a little uncomfortable. The latter gently wiped the shield, lowered his head and asked casually, "How is the process arranged?"
"In the first few games, there was nothing new, it was all the same appetizer as usual, and next, there were several members of the 'Red Branch', who needed to participate in individual confrontations and double gladiatorial battles, and as for the finale, the announcement said......
Finding that the other party suddenly stopped talking, Todd raised his head and looked at Ackerman: "What did you say?"
"This will be a shocking battle that has never been seen before in the Red Circle, and many top gladiators will fight on the same stage. Ackerman said this in a puzzled tone, then shook his head and said, "I always felt that this final gladiatorial battle was a conspiracy. ”
Casper touched his chin full of stubble and muttered, "Literally, in this final battle, the first-class gladiators in the 'Red Circle' will be dispatched. Among them should be "Cracked Mountain Giant" Cotton, "Fox" Beson, and "Lady of Pain" Dildre...... And, of course, you, Lord Boyle. ”
Ackerman said in surprise: "It won't be for these three people to besiege Lord Boyle, right?!"
Caspar thought for a moment and dismissed this possibility: "The previous 'ten-on-one' gladiatorial battle had an extremely bad impact in the entire Ulster Kingdom, and even if the king acted recklessly, it was impossible for him to have a similar 'strangulation' again. ”
Ackerman thought for a moment and made a guess that he couldn't even believe: "So, this battle in the end, should be a fair fight?"
Casper punched his knee with his fist: "At least it looks like it should be a fair game." ”
Hearing this, Ackerman whispered to Todd, "Lord Boyle, please beware of Cotton Don the Ripper and Besson the Fox, who are extremely hostile to you according to the other gladiators. ”
Todd was a little curious, "What did I do to make them hate me like this?"
Ackerman lowered his voice: "Think about it, since the establishment of the 'Red Branch Gladiatorial Association', you have absorbed most of the warriors in the entire gladiatorial arena with combat performances and 'artificial blood' as rewards. Many of them were originally members of other factions. You poached them, and this kind of behavior will naturally not gain the kindness of other faction leaders. I've heard that Brown and Beson, the Rippling Mountain Giant, have secretly gathered a group of diehards who are hostile to the 'Battle Show' and advocate tradition, intending to disadvantage you......"
Looking at Todd's breezy appearance, Ackerman suddenly remembered something, and patted his forehead with relief: "Look what I'm worried about! You are a god in this world, so naturally you won't worry about ......"
Caspar coughed heavily when he heard this.
Ackerman closed his mouth in disbelief, bowing his head at a loss.
Todd looked at the pair of living treasures amusedly, and asked in a relaxed tone, "If, I mean, if you were given a chance to acquire the power of a god, what would you choose?"
Caspar thought for a moment and spoke, "I want to gain infinite power so that I can be invincible on the battlefield." ”
Todd nodded, and then moved his gaze to Ackerman, who had a tangled face, "What about you?"
"Can I only choose one?"
"That's right. ”
"Then I want to gain the ability to become invisible. ”
Listening to Ackerman's answer, Todd was a little surprised, originally he guessed that this guy wanted the ability of "turning stones into gold" and "staying young forever".
"The ability to become invisible is very handy, you can become a Master Assassin and sneak anywhere. Todd nodded in affirmation.
Ackerman waved his hand again and again, rejecting Todd's speculation: "No, no, no, Lord Boyle, you misunderstood! I want the ability to be invisible, not to be an assassin. ”
"And you want to?"
"When I was younger, I didn't inherit my father's position as village chief, so I had a lot of time to squander every day. At that time, my favorite thing to do was to go to the mountain spring near the village and hide in the grass and wait for the prey to come to my door. ”
Listening to Ackerman's words, Todd said suspiciously, "So, the ability to stealth is for hunting?"
"He's referring to the prey of the woman who came to take a bath!" Casper snapped and said.
Todd's eyes widened, and he gasped.
Ackerman completely ignored the expressions of the two people in front of him, and said with a look of intoxication: "It was a wonderful time, I can see all kinds of women every day, their graceful bodies ......"
Todd closed his eyes, his face full of distress.
Ackerman didn't seem to have the slightest intention of shutting down, and Todd's heart was trembling as follows: "I've heard from traders that in the far south, there is a seaport kingdom called Twilight, and the people there have recently built an amazing public bath, following the example of the ancient Taylor period. If I could be invisible, I could stay in the women's bathhouse for a year and not come out...... By the way, do you like breasts or hips, I personally prefer hips, the perfect hip ratio should be like ......"
"Casper, shut up this guy!"
"Okay!"
That night, Todd met with the "Red Branch" liaison and the tribal liaison in the soul space, and once again arranged tomorrow's escape. After this, he summoned Rachel to the institute.
Todd looked at Rachel, who was feasting on the sushi platter in front of him, and asked with a frown, "Fiocha and his father Fergus are under house arrest, aren't they?"
"That's right, it's what happened yesterday. In the name of protection, the king trapped the father and son in their home and sent someone to temporarily take over the gladiatorial arena. Stuffing a slice of salmon roe sushi into her mouth, Rachel's face was filled with a happy smile: "This taste, this taste is amazing! You can eat all kinds of food every day, and the world you live in is simply a food paradise!"
Rachel's deeply moved appearance for the food made Todd laugh: "What are these counted, my hometown has eight major cuisines, twenty-four cuisines, and more than 7,200 recipes. Stir-frying, frying, cooking, steaming, roasting, and mixing, every method, every taste, can make you forget everything when you eat. ”
"Really, even once, I really want to go to that world!"
Rachel's heartfelt words made the smile slowly disappear from Todd's face, and the latter appeared gloomy, and a feeling called loneliness also lingered in his eyes.
Rachel was stunned for a moment, then gently grabbed Todd's palm with a look of concern.
"I believe that one day, I will take you to another world, eat every dish in the streets, no more darkness, no more confusion......" Todd smiled at Reichel and patted the back of her hand with his other hand.
