Chapter Ninety-Five: The Arena
"Gladiator?" asked Jiwen, puzzled.
"Yes, it's in the arena, let the summoned beasts kill you to the death. Aristan honestly explained the meaning of gladiatorial fights, and although the elves did not like to kill by nature, this did not prevent the common elves in the city from watching the gladiatorial fights for fun. The aristocracy never involved such vulgar activities, but in order to maintain the stability of the city, they also acquiesced in the establishment of an arena in the city and held all kinds of gladiatorial competitions.
Givin remained silent after listening to Ares's explanation, a look of disgust on his face.
Because he's a summoned beast.
He could understand summoners summoning beasts from another world for survival or some other great reason. But if it was just for fun, he couldn't accept it if he let the summoned beasts kill each other meaninglessly.
Adelia glanced at Given, and did not respond to Ares for the time being, but asked puzzled.
"Why are you involved with the gladiatorial arena?"
"The owner of the arena is my friend. The sophisticated Ares also sensed Given's displeasure, so he did his best to explain: "After I was fired, he invited me to be a partner there. And now we're in trouble. ”
Givens remained silent, although he respected Ares very much and knew Adelia's embarrassment, he really felt that the gladiatorial fight of the summoned beast was the most unacceptable thing for him. And now, he also kind of understands why Quintus and Harvey, who are far away in the forbidden space, are so hostile to the group of summoners.
Seeing that Given's still didn't let go, Adelia had to temporarily refuse Ares.
"Ares, let me think about it. ”
Ares sighed when he saw that the purpose of his trip had not been achieved.
"It's okay, if you want to know the situation, go to the arena south of the civilian area and look for me, I've been there. ”
"Well, I will, these days, Ares, you have to be careful. ”
Considering that Ares was injured, Adelia and Gilvin escorted him back to the arena gates before leaving. On the way back to the Summoning Academy, Adella asked Jiwen again.
"Are you really not going to help?
"I think there should be a way to solve the problem without having to fight. Given's opinion stood by his opinion. "Or you can change to another summoned beast to help Ares go to gladiatorial fighting. ”
Seeing that Given's look was so resolute, Adelia didn't continue to ask. After the two of them walked in silence for a while, Jiwen suddenly commanded, "Tomorrow during the day, remember to let me go to the Flame Furnace." ”
Adelia stopped and looked at Jiwen a little puzzled, so Jiwen had to explain: "Even if you can't complete the gladiatorial fight, it's just a trouble." But without the protection of the crystal disk, Ares's life would be in danger. ”
Hearing that Givens was going to try to help Ares obtain the crystal disk, Adella's expression of disappointment turned to joy again. She said yes, "Okay!"
The next day, Given, wearing the necklace and taking the form of Mr. Copperbeard, visits the Flame Forge again. But in the process of convincing Master Niels, he encountered a big problem.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Copperbeard. At most, I can only help you make an unregistered crystal disk, after all, I also have guidelines that must be followed. ”
"Is there no workaround?" said Givan pleading again.
Master Niels shook his head, for him, it was already a big risk to make a crystal disk that had not been registered, if he had promised Mr. Copperbeard to make a second piece now, he didn't know if there would be a third piece, a fourth piece, once this Pandora's box was opened, the consequences would be impossible to clean. There have been many talented crystal disc makers who couldn't resist the temptation to break the taboo, and as a result, they were punished most severely by the trade guild.
Rejected by Given, he fell into deep thought, thinking about Adelia's long-awaited appearance, thinking about the last night Ares was powerless to resist those villains, and then made a decision.
"Master Niels, I don't make that crystal disk, you make one for Sheriff Ares, so it's always okay, right?"
"Are you serious?" said Master Niels as he looked at Givens in surprise. He knew how much Mr. Copperbeard wanted the crystal disk, but he gave up the only chance to someone else.
"Hmm. Givens nodded seriously, "Although I won't do it, our agreement is still valid." ”
"Then come as you wish. Ares has made crystal disks with me, and I have his information, and as soon as the cold iron arrives, I will start making it for him. Master Niels finally agreed to Givin's proposal
"Thank you, Master Niels. Given's sincere thanks.
"It seems that Ares has made a trustworthy friend, which is enviable. Niels smiled, accepting Given's thanks.
When Givens returned to the VIP waiting room, Adelia had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw Jiwen push open the door and walk in, she hurried to meet him.
"How's it going?" asked Adelia eagerly.
Givens nodded with a smile on his face.
He promised to make a new disc for Ares in a few days when the materials were gathered. ”
Adelia could hardly believe her ears, and Govern actually convinced Master Niels. She almost jumped with excitement. She looked at Jiwen's eyes full of excitement, there had never been a record of summoned beasts being able to do so many seemingly impossible things like Jiwen.
Seeing Adella's excited appearance, Given's smile was relieved. Now his summoner can finally shake off the guilt of Ares' expulsion.
Adelia didn't know that she had given up on the crystal disk, but for Jiwen, he could accept such a result, after all, after he slowly learned to make the crystal disk, he would find a way to collect materials and make a new one for himself.
Just as Gilvin was thinking about how to stock up on materials in advance, Adelia took his hand and said.
"Let's go, let's tell Ares the good news. ”
After saying that, Adelia couldn't help but say anything, pulled Jiwen out of the furnace of flames, and ran to the arena in the south of the civilian area.
After a few blocks, Adella and Givens arrived at the arena, which had been deserted last night, but now it was very lively, with people shuttling back and forth in and out of the arena, blocking the main entrance of the arena. It took a lot of work for Givens and Adelia to find a deserted side door and make their way to the arena.
The people of the arena seemed to know Ares well, and soon Adelia and Given's guidance came to the door of a dimly lit room.
"This is Ares' room?" Adelia looked at the dim hallway around her, the dilapidated door, her face gloomy, and the excitement she had just been all the way calmed down. She didn't expect Ares, a high-ranking sheriff, to live in such a dilapidated place.
The old elf who led the way didn't seem to notice Adelia's expression, and after pointing the way, he went back to his own cleaning work.
Adelia hesitantly knocked on the door, and then Ares's voice came from inside the door: "Who's there?"
"It's me and Mr. Copperbeard. Adella responded.
"Come in yourselves, the door is unlocked. ”
Hearing this, Adella pushed open the door and stepped into the room, followed by Given.
But when the interior of this room caught Jiwen's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh: "This room is really old enough." ”
