Chapter 25: The Arena
The next day, Kaos planned to travel to another city, Oslea.
Oslea is one of the most prosperous cities in the San Ropas Empire and even the entire continent, but it is still slightly inferior to Luodong City, but its economic strength and magical heritage are still not to be underestimated.
"If it goes well, I'll be there in three days!" Kaos muttered, looking at the map.
After reading the map, Kaos put it away, and at this time, the short-haired white girl behind Kaos came to Kaos.
"Brother Kaos—uh, no, master, please leave it to Ellie for safekeeping!" Ellie said to Kaos with a smile.
Since choosing to follow Kaos, Ellie has cut her long hair a little shorter, and now, just the gray hair on her shoulders makes her look more like a little girl.
Kaos glanced at her, then casually tossed the map to Ellie.
"Whatever you want!"
The map was thrown in the air and spun around a few times, and Ellie finally caught it, but Ellie still showed a happy smile, "Thank you, master." ”
Kaos didn't know if it was a wrong choice to take Ellie, but now that he agreed, he had to accept Ellie.
Kaos looked up at the sky, and he didn't know when dusk had fallen, and the moon that could be seen heralded the dawn of night.
Kaos looked around his surroundings and then said, "Let's rest here tonight! I don't know what I'll encounter if I go on, rest early, and leave early tomorrow." ”
"Okay!"
......
At night, Kaos roasted the freshly caught scorpion by the fire, and Ellie looked at the poisonous scorpion that Kaos had roasted for her with a puzzled expression.
"That...... Do you really want to eat it?" Ellie looked at Kaos in embarrassment.
Kaos didn't look at Ellie, he stared at the scorpion in his hand and said, "It's not poisonous." ”
"No, but this ......"
"There was bread in the backpack. ”
“......”
Ellie's face suddenly became a little lost when she heard this, and after some inner struggle, finally, she mustered up the courage to close her eyes and bite down.
"Ah~~~ It seems that it is not as unpalatable as I imagined. ”
"I don't know, I'm not a chef after all. ”
As the flames in front of him gradually dissipated, Kaos couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, at this time, Kaos glanced at Ellie, who was asleep on his shoulder, looking at her body that was shivering with cold, Kaos took out a blanket from the backpack next to him with one hand and draped it over Ellie's body.
"If you catch a cold here, I'm in trouble. Kaos said this, and then he also draped a blanket over himself, and the two fell asleep.
......
"Is this Oslea?"
I don't know what day it is, for Oslea, it's just an ordinary day, but today, Oslea has a lot of people.
"Everyone pays attention to their safety outside, but in Oslea it is different from Rodon, after all, this is the Empire of San Lopas. A middle-aged man said to a group of students behind him.
The female teacher next to the man also said: "In the future, you will study and practice here, and you will report to me wherever you go! This is especially true at the Diwenyas Academy, because the danger outside is unimaginable to you no matter what." ”
"Got it!"
......
Kaos and Ellie finally arrived at the Empire of San Lopas, but the sight of arriving here was ......
"Master, we're finally here, I'm going to the doctor!" said Ellie worriedly, holding the injured Kaos.
And look at Kaos again, Kaos has a blood-red claw mark on his chest, and his left hand naturally hangs down, as if he is dislocated, and at the same time, blood continues to drip down Kaos's left hand, which can clearly see the blood stains left by Kaos on the way to Oslea.
Kaos covered the injured area, but said unconcernedly: "This injury is nothing!"
And Ellie lowered her head in frustration and said, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for protecting me...... The owner will not be hurt. ”
Kaos didn't say anything, he just snorted.
At Kaos's request, Ellie helped Kaos to a hotel, and after opening the room, Kaos asked Ellie to buy some potions.
One was in a hotel bed, Kaos stared at the ceiling, and after a while, Kaos found something in his backpack next to him.
"Hiss~~~ It's a little painful!"
He couldn't help but say something after accidentally touching the wound, and he finally found what he was looking for in his backpack, an ordinary money bag.
Kaos shook the bag, only a dozen gold coins fell out of the bag, looking at these gold coins on the ground, Kaos couldn't help but show a headache.
"Is it so pathetic?
......
"Eh, I said this exchange study is boring! Divinyas Academy can't compete with St. Granby!"
On the streets of Oslea, several girls walking together were talking.
"If it weren't for the experience, who would want to come to this kind of place!"
At this moment, one of the blonde girls said something nonchalantly, and the other girls beside her echoed her.
"Yes, where is the St. Gran Academy in the Divinas Academy, not to mention the magic background, even the environment can't compare!"
"That's right, I really don't know why the college would arrange such an exchange study. ”
"Well, forget it, don't talk about these useless things, just walk around!" said the blonde girl very boringly.
Suddenly, a petite figure accidentally rushed over and bumped into the blonde girl, and the two sat directly on the ground.
"Oops!"
"Irina, are you alright?"
"Irina. ”
The ground is littered with various potions that have fallen from the other party's hands, and the person who hit Irina is none other than Ellie, who has just run back from the drugstore.
"yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! ”
When Ellie realizes that she has hit someone, she immediately stands up and apologizes, while Irina gets up from the ground and glares at Ellie.
"Don't you have eyes?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
Ellie was still desperately apologizing.
Looking at Ellie like this, Irina hesitated for a moment, but in the end she sighed.
"Cut, let's go. ”
After saying that, Irina left with the other girls next to her.
"Irina has changed, wouldn't Irina have taught that girl a good lesson?" said a girl next to Irina.
"Hmph, I'm not interested!"
As she spoke, Irina subconsciously touched the necklace on her chest.
"Sure enough, Irina still hasn't forgotten that boy!"
"Luo Li, you talk a lot!"
Irina sneered and glanced at Luo Li, and looking at Irina eyes, Luo Li immediately showed a panicked expression.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ......."
"Forget it, I'm bored, let's go back!"
Looking at the three people who left, Ellie also sighed, only to see her slowly pick up the potion.
"Why are you still so clumsy!" said Ellie, a little frustrated, "Ellie, you have to do your best, or Brother Kaos will abandon you." ”
......
Ellie arrives at the hotel with the potion while Kaos washes her wounds.
"Master, ahhh!!!h
Looking at Kaos's body wearing only shorts, Ellie screamed directly, and the potion in her hand fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ellie said with a blushing face, as she crouched down to pick up the potion that had fallen to the ground.
"Clumsy!" Kaos said dissatisfiedly, and Ellie lowered her head in frustration as she picked up the potion.
"I'm sorry, master. ”
"Forget it, I'm also responsible, and I didn't expect you to come back now. Why did you go for so long?"
"Which ...... I accidentally bumped into someone else on the way, but fortunately the sister didn't pursue it. ”
"I'll take care of the wound, and you can eat a piece of bread first! I'll take you to finish your meal later." ”
Ellie looked at the bread on the table and nodded.
"Hmm!"
Then she put down the potion in her hand and left the room with the bread.
After watching Ellie go out, Kaos couldn't help but sigh, "After all, it's still a child!"
......
In the evening, after dinner, Kaos said to Ellie, "I'll go out for a while, and you stay in the hotel, remember, don't go out, don't open the door to anyone!"
Ellie nodded, "Well, Ellie remembered!"
"That's good!"
With that, Kaos left the hotel.
At night, Oslea seemed a little lonely, and every house closed its doors in an attempt to isolate everyone outside, even if they were not close to Kaos, and they could feel their indifference to outsiders.
After Kaos wandered around Oslea casually, it didn't take long for Kaos to arrive at an arena in Oslea.
"You should be able to get some money here!"
Kaos walked in without hesitation, but was stopped by a middle-aged man in a tuxedo at the door.
"Who are you, what are you doing here!"
Through the mask, Kaos looked at the other party indifferently and said, "Can you get money here?"
"Money?" the middle-aged man sneered, he seemed to understand why the young man in front of him appeared here, "Of course, but do you have the strength?"
Kaos breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could get the money.
"Tell me how!"
"Really?" the middle-aged man gestured behind him with a look, only to see two burly men over two meters walking over.
"Prove yourself first! After all, if any insect wants to come here to make money, then we collect the corpses of many people every day. ”
"Really?"
Kaos glanced up at the two fierce men.
"Then try it!"
And it didn't take long for Kaos to follow the middle-aged man into the arena with a worn-out broken sword, and behind them were the corpses of the two strong men.
......
"Those two guys are not something that ordinary mid-level mages can deal with, even ordinary high-level mages may not be able to win so easily, are you a high-level mage?"
"Intermediate, promoted last month!"
"Really?"
The middle-aged man gave a surprised expression, and then he laughed.
"It's just a mid-level mage but it has the strength of a high-level mage, although I want to know how you did it, but, with the strength of a confusing person like yours, you should be able to win me a lot of money!"
"Really?" Kaos gave a look of confusion, but then, he shook his head, "I don't know, I just want to know how much I can get." ”
