Chapter 280: The Seeker

Watching Deirdre leave his room, Todd sat down on the bed, recalling what Ackerman had said. Among the faction leaders in the gladiatorial arena, there is indeed a woman whose name seems to be Dildri.

Opening the soul space and finding Rechel, Todd began to ask her about Boyle's life.

"The tribe to which the boyles originally belonged was a branch of a large clan in the southern region. This tribe has an offensive and defensive alliance with many tribes with the same roots. "During the war against the Kingdom of Ulster, the power of this tribe was repeatedly weakened, and finally it was reduced to the kingdom's servant army. ”

But Boyle was a man of great ambition, and while he pretended to be obedient to the kingdom of Ulster, he secretly cultivated his own army. ”

Todd opened the map of the North on his computer, and nodded as he listened, "So, have you heard of the woman Deirdre?"

"Deirdre?"

Richel's expression became a little strange: "Where did you hear that name?"

"Just now, she came to me and said she could help me and the boyars get out of the arena. ”

Rachel stared into Todd's eyes, "This is the first time she's coming to you?"

Todd shook his head, "There was another time before, but at that time I didn't understand Northland and didn't know who she was. ”

"Deirdre is a well-known beauty among the southern tribes, and when she was eleven years old, his father made a pact with Boyle, and promised to have a wedding for them when she came of age......" Rachel squinted her eyes and glanced at Todd, "How is it?

Todd's face was inexplicable: "Heartbeat?"

Richer squinted her eyes and smiled, "You have now obtained the identity of Boyle, which means that you can take her ...... Hmmm......"

Rachel uses the thumb and forefinger of his left hand to form a circle, and the index finger of his right hand moves in and out of the ring.

Todd's eyes widened: "Where did you learn this move?!"

Rachel lifted her chin and pointed at the computer.

"Don't look at that mess!" Todd rubbed his temples with his fingers and said helplessly, "I won't do this kind of thing to desecrate the dead and take advantage of people's danger." ”

Hearing Todd's words, Richel's expression couldn't tell whether it was serious or joking: "If you accept her, she may still be happy." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The woman is a xenomorph, and a cursed xenomorph. ”

Returning to the real world from the soul space, Todd fell headlong on the wooden bed, looked at the shed in front of him, and sighed.

The fact that he used to acquire Boyle's identity was too simplistic.

Getting a person's status means not only getting his property, but also that you will take on his responsibilities.

If Todd were a hard-hearted or black-bellied man, then everything would be much easier, and all he needed to do was to uphold the principle of maximizing profit and get everything he wanted.

However, the sense of morality and precepts from the previous life made it impossible for the travelers of this civilized world to use chaotic and disorderly thoughts to control their own behavior.

This may be a bad thing, but it can also be a good thing.

Putting all these distractions aside for a while, Todd's life was fairly regular for the next week.

After waking up early in the morning, washing up, and having breakfast, Todd would spend three minutes pulling all the officials of the Twilight Kingdom into the soul space, listening to their reports, and arranging the work.

After the affairs of the kingdom are settled, Todd will invite Rachel into the soul space to learn about the recent events in the kingdom of Ulster and listen to the information of important people.

After completing these two things in the soul space, Todd would go to the gladiator training ground, nominally to watch the training of the low-level fighters, but in fact, to find a way to steal the basic essentials of combat in the process of their fight.

After lunch and a short nap, Todd would call Ackerman, Casper, and the barbarian sisters to check on their rehearsals and preparations.

Fiocha, the newly appointed director of the Colosseum, regretted not being able to watch the four-man confrontation. In order to make up for his regrets, he even privately found four people, hoping that they would recreate the process of gladiatorial fighting again.

After the wish was granted, to the surprise of the four, Fiocha praised this novel form of gladiatorial fighting.

As for this gentle nobleman, Todd learned about his origin through Richel's mouth.

Fiocha's father, Fergus, was the half-brother of the former king of Ulster. After the death of the previous king, in order to be able to marry the beautiful widow queen, he voluntarily gave up the right to inherit the throne and instead gave the king's crown to the queen's son, Concierber (the queen's illegitimate son before marriage).

So in this way, Fiocha is the younger brother of King Concierbert.

The king's confidant, Fergal, had wanted to ask the king to give him the post of director of the Colosseum. However, having rejected the other party's request to get his daughter Emer, the king instead gave Fiocha the position of director of the Colosseum.

It sounds complicated, but in the final analysis, there are only four Ulster authorities in power who are engaged in power games around the "Red Circle", namely King Concierber, his confidant Fugar, the elder brother of the previous king, Fergus, and Fergus's son Fiocha.

The conversation returns to Fiocha.

Every afternoon, Fiocha would find Todd and ask for a duel again.

After probably learning about this boy's preference, Todd will do what he likes, and in previous movies and games, he will pick out some difficult but extremely gorgeous moves and use them in battle.

Whenever this happens, Fiocha would stop his movements and repeatedly ask Todd to repeat the battle moves until he had memorized them.

When the sun had set and the other gladiators had returned to their homes, Todd would sneak out and sneak into the second basement floor to begin the search for what Ackerman called the secret passage.

With night vision and clairvoyance, finding the secret passage doesn't take much effort.

In the warehouse of waste, there is a sewer line. The iron fence at the entrance has long been rusted and corroded due to the lack of maintenance for many years. With a flick of your hand, the iron fence can be removed, revealing a pipe that only one person can crawl through. Presumably, the old Earl who escaped from the gladiatorial arena back then, took this path.

After confirming the escape route, Todd began to think about how to get the boyle's people out of the arena safely.

One evening, while he was secretly planning an escape, Ackerman and Casper suddenly came to the door.

"Lord Boyle, we have something to discuss with you. ”

Looking at Ackerman, who was standing at the door, Todd had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

"You can't be another hot-tempered woman, are you?"

Ackerman hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "That's right, after seeing the two of us fighting with Parri and Parni, a few friends came to us, hoping to learn the method of combat performance. ”

Casper's face was as suffocated as a pig's liver, and he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth for a while, but finally he didn't speak.

Todd stood up, looked at Ackerman, who looked worried, and said suspiciously, "How do they know about the battle show?"

"The performance of the four of us may be okay for those audiences. But there are many experienced gladiators, and by looking at the position of the arrows and the strength of the attack, you can see the clues. Ackerman scratched his head: "They came to us and asked us what happened, we wanted to keep it secret......"

"It's not because of your big ......mouth," Casper growled angrily.

Ackerman's expression became more restrained, and he lowered his head and said, "Regarding the matter of artificial blood and flint, they repeatedly asked for the truth, and we really couldn't stand it, so we can only lead them to meet you." ”

Todd waved his hand absently and said: "If you want to learn combat performance, it's not a big deal, at most I will work harder, and teach a few more people." By the way, after all, how many people are there?"

On Ackerman's forehead, beads of sweat slowly overflowed, and he stretched out three fingers tremblingly, and stammered: "No more, no more, just a few people." ”

"Three people?" Todd asked suspiciously, looking at the three fingers raised by the other party.

Ackerman forced a smile and said, "A little more." ”

"Thirty people?!"

"A little more......"

Todd, who lost his patience, pushed away the two who blocked the doorway, and looked at the square under the platform of the residence with the last rays of the sun setting.

As far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere!

The dense gladiators, crowded under the terrace, saw Todd's appearance, and cheered in unison: "Red Champion!"

Among them were the North Islanders, the barbarians, and the plains, and together, the number was actually hundreds.

Todd turned his head stiffly, looked at Ackerman with a sneering expression, and scolded helplessly: "You bastard......"
