Chapter 273: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Country

The body of the colosseum supervisor was hung high in the middle of the colosseum, a punishment for his assertion and a sign of the king's power.

Todd's dwelling moved from that small, gloomy cell to a cozy, well-lit terrace. Standing in the room, you can see the whole gladiatorial arena as far as the eye can see. Most importantly, he was given the privilege of moving freely within the confines of the Colosseum.

A week after the end of the second gladiatorial fight, Todd spent hundreds of hours in the soul space to learn Northteric by surprise, and it was already beginning to pay off. As long as it's not complicated rhetoric and subtle slang, he can already have a fluent conversation.

Eating food from the city's best restaurants and watching the gladiators practicing their fights, Todd wiped the grease from his hands, turned over and jumped off the terrace, and walked up the stone steps to the underground prison where the sinners were kept.

Along the way, whether it was a warrior as strong as an ox or a battle-hardened warrior, when they saw Todd's figure, they all stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads, stood aside, and respectfully got out of the way.

Todd, who took a steady step and pretended to be deep, walked forward without squinting.

At this moment, I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "Boyle, Red Champion!"

Later, in the entire gladiatorial arena, there were bursts of chanting.

"Boyle, Red Champion!"

Amid the praise and adoration of the people, Todd did not stop in his footsteps, and walked down the steps into the prison area on the basement level.

Following a familiar direction, through a labyrinthine corridor, Todd finally stopped in front of a huge cell.

Hundreds of people were housed in the cell, both men and women, old and young.

Todd's appearance made the people in prison cheer. Some call him the patriarch, others call him the chief, and some call him the master directly.

Looking at these unfamiliar faces in front of him, Todd could only smile in response, and after some searching, he finally saw two familiar faces.

One is the old warrior Fried of the Froststone Tribe, and the other is the old shaman of the Froststone Tribe, Minnie.

Watching the two old men slowly walk to the other side of the cell door, Todd said in Northland to the jailer hiding on the side, "Open the cell door." ”

In the face of the legendary gladiatorial champion, although the jailer trembled with fear, he still mustered up the courage to refuse this request: "My lord, it's not that I'm embarrassed, but this doesn't meet the rules, if the prison door is really opened. Not only will I not survive, but these people inside will be put to death. ”

"Patriarch, he's right. Through the fence, the old soldier Fried said to Todd, "If he opens the prison door, all of us will be put to death for escaping." ”

Hearing someone help to explain, the jailer became a little bolder, and said: "Lord Boyle, these people of yours do not have half a penny of three meals a day, and every day there are people who help them fetch clean spring water, and we also provide free herbs to those who are sick. ”

Fried shrugged his shoulders and said in a half-serious, half-teasing tone, "It's true, since the gladiatorial fight last week, the attitude of these people, like a saint with a changed mind, has changed amazingly. ”

Looking at the speechless jailer, Todd gave up his intention to reprimand, and instead turned his gaze to the prisoners in the prison: "There are many fewer people here. ”

"Alas, the slave catchers have captured thousands of our people, and there are only so many of them left who died on the road, those whose whereabouts are unknown, and those who died of illness during this time......" Fred said bitterly, pounding his fist against the door.

Todd's face was sad, and he suddenly said, "That woman named Aisha ......"

Halfway through his words, Todd deliberately paused for a moment.

Fried picked up his words and continued, "I have heard that she was captured by the slave team and sent to the palace, and I don't know what happened now. ”

Getting the information he wanted, Todd breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Minnie, the shaman who was standing beside Fried, suddenly stretched out her hand, walked through the gap between the fences, touched Todd's forehead, and said softly, "Son, listen to me. In this world, it is as hopeless as a bottomless abyss, where darkness erodes everything and misery follows like a shadow...... And you, with a golden heart, deep in your body, there is a light and warmth comparable to the sun, please change this world and save those lost souls. ”

Todd felt a gentle power coming from the palm of the other party's hand, and looked at the old woman in front of him in a daze.

For some reason, Todd had a feeling that Minnie had already seen through his disguise and learned his identity.

So, why didn't she expose herself? What is the meaning of these words?

With a full stomach, leaving the prison, Todd walked on the road, and accidentally caught a glimpse of two familiar figures out of the corner of his eye.

Those two plain people who deliberately "released water" in the second gladiatorial fight.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the two, Todd secretly gestured for them to follow him.

Finding a no-be corner, Todd sat down on a clean stone, looked at the respectful two in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

The muscular and muscular man said, "Casper." ”

The tall and thin young man followed, "Dear Red Champion, you can call me Ackerman. ”

Hearing the name Ackerman, Todd looked at the young man twice and asked, "You are from the southern parish. ”

Casper nodded.

Ackerman was clearly a rammer: "He is from the Holy Acropolis and used to be a knight of the Knights of the Holy Guard, while I am from a village called 'Thousand Wood Village' on the Moon Creek Plain, where I used to be the village chief. ”

Todd's face was stunned, and he finally remembered where he had seen this young man.

More than three years ago, in order to heal the "lead poisoning incident", Todd, who specially acted as a magic stick, went to Chiki Village and performed an "exorcism ceremony".

The young village chief who only had a one-sided relationship was named Ackerman.

A rare smile appeared on Todd's face, which surprised Casper and Ackerman.

"How did you two get here?"

To this question, Casper said only two words: "War." ”

Ackerman was like a chatterbox with the lid open. First, he talked about the war in the Kingdom of the Silver Ring, then talked about the uprooting of the civilians of the diocese, then described the battle of the "Great Retreat of the Watch Canyon", and finally talked about the barbarian army driving the captives into the north.

Ackerman opened his mouth and spoke for half an hour, without panting or even pausing on the way.

In the middle of this, the big man Casper secretly pulled the corner of Ackerman's coat and motioned for him to make a long story short, but the latter was completely unconscious, and he insisted on finishing his words.

It's no wonder that Todd didn't get bored at all after listening to the young man talk for so long.

When Ackerman recounts his experience, it is not a straightforward statement, nor is it a dry preaching.

He can grasp every key point of the event, tell every climax of the story, and capture the heart of every listener with a subdued tone and frequent baggage.

Todd shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart, if such a person was placed in his previous life, he was not a storyteller, but should also be a cross talk actor, and this mouth is really too good to say. Casper, by contrast, is much more silent, and will never say more than a word less.

I really don't know how two people with such different personalities came together...... ()
