Chapter 7: The Twins and the Gladiators
Su Ya also smiled back at him, and after the negotiation in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the carriage suddenly fell silent. Su Ya didn't think anything, she looked at the Duke's hair while thinking about the headdress.
The Duke was cold again with his hands on his cheeks and his eyes hooking his eyes, and pulled her sleeves unwillingly, Su Ya replied to him with a "what are you doing" look, he pouted and said: "By the way, sister, you just said that you were going to the Colosseum to find someone, do you need my help?"
"Thank you for your generosity, but it's Margaret who is looking for someone, and I'm just accompaniing," Su Ya replied half-truthfully, the situation in the imperial capital is complicated, and it is better for her to find out the situation first, "I'll have to ask her when I get out of the car later." ”
The Duke nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and glanced at Su Ya with his chin in his hands, under his long eyelashes, his eyes fluttered, and there was an innocent but dazed beauty. Seeing this, Su Ya thought that he was also wandering, so she closed her eyes and pretended to rest, and continued to think about the headdress design.
Why doesn't the "......" go on according to the script he imagined every time, the duke, who has always considered himself to be romantic and charming, feels so good. Obviously, he is a beautiful man with such a young and astringent pattern, from a noble lady to Lori, suitable for all ages, very popular!
The Duke couldn't figure out what to think, so he really left the strategic goal in front of him and went to the fugue.
In such an atmosphere of fugue, the Colosseum arrived.
Su Ya rushed ahead of the Duke and jumped out of the car, the fragrance in the carriage was too smoky, I really couldn't stand it, or the air outside was fresh.
Margaret was already standing outside the car waiting for her, and with a frightened face: "Suya, are you okay?"
"It's good that the magic jewelry shop has officially opened. Lord Duke became the first customer, do you remember to help me spread the word," Su Ya smiled, patted her shoulder again, and said in a low voice, "By the way, he also said that he could help us find Lolita, what do you think?"
Margaret saw that she was really fine, and wanted to ask gossip again, and saw Suya talking about Lolita. I had to suppress my curiosity and replied: "Oh, yes, the Duke is quite idle, and he is the best at eating, drinking, and having fun." ”
It seems that the Duke has no real power and has little to do with the current situation in the Empire. Su Ya was relieved, and when she saw that he had also come out of the carriage, she hurriedly pulled Margaret to greet her with a smile. Describing Lolita's appearance to him, the Duke nodded and motioned to the attendants behind him to look for it in batches.
Su Ya was a little dumbfounded when she saw that he had sent out hundreds of people: "Do you need so many people to find them at the same time?"
"You're here for the first time, aren't you?" the Duke said, gesturing behind her. "The Colosseum can accommodate 800,000 people at the same time, and there are 100 entrances and exits, divided into two parts, the sky and the ground, and there are no separate people to guard them. How to find it?"
Su Ya followed the direction of his finger and turned around, only then did she notice the behemoth standing in front of her: "Oh my God." It's so big!"
Before she could finish speaking, the good-natured laughter of the tourists immediately sounded behind her, and Su Ya stuck out her tongue and simply hid behind Margaret, covering her face. When the Duke was once again surrounded by his confidante, Margaret dragged her behind the team, and popularized common sense by the way: "This Colosseum is the pride of the entire El Empire, and it was built by the founding emperor Julius Caesar in order to deter the Quartet. ”
Touching the solid wall beside her, Su Ya nodded: "Then he must be an earth great magician?"
"It's true that he is an earth magician, but he is not just a great magician, but a holy order," Margaret said in a low voice, "Legend has it that he later passed the throne to his descendants and went to the holy city to look at it himself. ”
The Holy Rank Magician, that is a level higher than the Great Magician. Even in ancient times, the forbidden spells that could be used by saint-level magicians represented the pinnacle of magic that human beings could achieve - one force could build a heavenly city, and one blow could turn the sea into a mulberry field, which was incomparably powerful.
However, after the fall of the gods, the magic power has become thinner and thinner, and in the past 10,000 years, there has never been a holy order in the entire continent, and the era of the emergence of the El Empire is much later than the city of time, which has stood for thousands of years, only two thousand years. As for the Holy City, the Holy City in the hearts of all magicians has long since disappeared into the long river of history along with the gods.
Therefore, the rumor of Julius Caesar is not right in time. Regarding such rumors, Su Ya just rolled her eyes at Margaret and replied in a low voice, "You heard this...... Didn't you listen to the bard?"
"How is that possible," Marguerite muttered angrily, "I listened to the elders of the family. ”
Su Ya just wanted to ask which elder said it, but she saw that the red-faced procession in front of her had stopped, and the young Duke was waving to them at the front with a smile, as if beckoning them over, Su Ya had to pull Margaret and squeeze over.
Seeing that the two of them came to him panting, the Duke patted the two stone chairs beside him in a good mood: "You two just sit next to me, the location here is the best position in the entire Colosseum to watch the gladiatorial fight." ”
"Oh, okay, thank you. Suya gave him a smile and pulled Margaret to sit down. She originally thought that the Duke had news of Lolita to tell him, so she rushed over, but she didn't expect it to be not, and she was a little excited for a while.
However, in the eyes of the Duke, this is not the case at all, he tried his best to disagree with the public, appease all parties, and finally vacate the best two positions for Su Ya and her friends, but he didn't expect this one to take it to heart at all.
It's too much, since he was a child, it was the first time he was so completely ignored, he was unwilling, he didn't believe it, he decided that he must make persistent efforts: "Sister Su Ya, since you are coming to the Colosseum for the first time, shall I introduce you?"
"Good. ”
"This Colosseum was built by Julius Caesar, the founding emperor of the El Empire. ”
This sentence, she had just heard Margaret mention, and the Duke obviously did not speak as passionate as Margaret, Su Ya had a dispensable "um", the Duke saw her reaction, thinking that she was not interested, and casually said a few words about the architectural features of the Colosseum, so he picked up the program list on the stage and began to talk about the content of today's game: "It is a coincidence that we came today, and the game later is a battle between a pair of twin gladiators who have been in the limelight recently, and an eighth-order thunder tiger." ”
Su Ya actually doesn't have a good impression of the Colosseum, and in her opinion, the fight for the sake of performance is meaningless. I really don't understand what these people are excited about, shouldn't the real bloody battle be for survival?
However, since she was here, she would not say such an inappropriate word, so after listening to the introduction of the Duke, she only smiled politely and did not express her opinion.
This little frustration, the Duke didn't take it to heart at all, and was about to continue to explain, when a chestnut-haired beauty sitting on the other side of the Duke opened her mouth and brushed her feelings: "Dear Lord Roland, is it really the pair of twin gladiators? I heard that those two people are not very old, and their abilities are not small~"
Roland is the real name of Lord Duke, and the chestnut-haired beauty deliberately called it so, presumably to show her status and intimacy with Lord Duke. Sure enough, the other confidantes made expressions of "we didn't understand what she said at all", and only the girl next to her answered with a mysterious expression: "That pair of twin gladiators has a great background, I heard that it was sent by Her Majesty the Empress herself." ”
"What kind of secret is this, and it deserves to be told so mysteriously," another girl said, "those two gladiators, one with a golden sword and the other with a silver shield, are so similar to the imperial logo, guess whatever, there must be a relationship in them." ”
"Yes, it has long been rumored that these two are side branches of the royal family who defected to the empire, so they were thrown to the Colosseum by Her Majesty the Empress and punished!"
"Ah, look, they're out!"
Golden sword and silver shield, twin ...... Su Ya suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and her eyes looked straight into the Colosseum, and in the frenzied cries of hundreds of thousands of people, the two figures slowly walked out of the underground passage of the Colosseum, with ragged clothes and yellow hair, which almost made Su Ya dare not recognize each other.
But she recognized it at a glance, the companions she had fought with, and before Margaret could exclaim, she covered her mouth and the name she wanted to shout: "Luffy, Luce-" (to be continued......
