Chapter 66: The Great Arena
Right on the edge of the fence, Ryan and Al are keeping an eye on what's going on in the ring below. One is tall, with a round waist and a mace in each hand. The other was not so tall, of medium stature, with a weathered face and a scruffy beard, but his eyes were very sharp, and he used a mercenary sword, but the sword was extraordinarily wide, and it looked like it was half a foot.
Seeing him, Lane unconsciously remembered Uncle Cham, and wondered where they were now? How's it going.
"Who do you think will win?" Al asked, leaning against the railing.
"That uncle." Ryan didn't want to, maybe his temperament was very similar to Cham, and Ryan didn't want Chambe to lose.
Instead of answering, Al asked another question. "The gladiatorial arena is so kind and provides food and lodging, aren't you afraid of conflicts with the hotel?"
"Hehe, so you're worried about this," Ryan smiled, "You don't know this, you look like a chick who doesn't know anything, and you can really see the plan of the gladiatorial arena at a glance after a veteran who has been wandering outside for a long time." ”
"The hotel really entertains the kind of lady Lena, we can't afford to live in the cheapest room, what if we run out of money?" Ryan asked rhetorically.
"Come here?" Al seemed to understand a little.
"Even if you lose, you can guarantee room and board, will anyone refuse?" Ryan pointed to the audience below, "The people who come here are all kinds of criminals, if you win, you will get money, and if you lose, you will get a lot of injuries, why don't you come." The more people like that, the more games there will be, the more people will have fun below, and the more money there will be. ”
"Tickets, that's a good idea." Al cupped his chin and thought about it.
"No, no, no," Ryan shook his head repeatedly, "the tickets are only a small part, and you've seen the rooms provided by the Colosseum, not bad." If you only charge for tickets, it will definitely not be enough. Speaking of this, Ryan smirked, "Didn't you just ask me who would win?" The people below will definitely have the same idea, opening and betting is the big one. ”
"That's right." Al agreed.
"In addition, for the victors, the gladiatorial arena will also recruit and become thugs. The loser is also a treasure, there is no father and son on the field, let alone strangers, losing more than a dozen games in a row, injured but not dead, no other skills, saving life is definitely not bad. ”
"That's right." Al wasn't interested in places like the Colosseum before, but listening to Ryan's words, it seemed that it would be better to sharpen himself.
Seeing the change in Al's eyes, Ryan secretly smiled in his heart. Having an artifact like a butterfly, not bad, and not very old, but being a thief is obviously an escape.
A burst of crisp applause suddenly came, and a tall beauty holding a plush toy in her hand walked over.
"That's right, two little brothers, how did you come here at such a young age, what about your family?"
She looks like she is in her twenties, but she can make a voice like a teenager, but her charming and seductive style does not make people feel uncomfortable.
"Little brother?" Ryan's face began to twitch again, and the call made him very uncomfortable. "You're here for the Colosseum?" Of course, Ryan would not answer the other party's words, and asked directly.
"Hehehe, yes, sister, I'm very good!" As she spoke, the toy in her hand was under the control of her hand, and she nodded again and again.
"Haha, Ellie, your skin is really not ordinarily thick, you say you are amazing." At this time, a man of short stature, but very fat, who looked like a ball of flesh walked over.
"Little friend, I advise you to stay away from her, Ellie is coquettish and doesn't even let go of children, especially this handsome little guy next to you." The man was also a big guy, but just by glancing at Ryan, he focused his gaze on the plump area of Al's chest, and his mouth was wide open, and he had the potential to drool.
"Rusico, how can you say that about me?" Ellie wasn't angry either, "I just have a crush on these two little brothers." ”
"Two, I'll leave first if I have something to do." Ryan's mind is full of black lines, these two people are a little brother on the left and a little friend on the right make him very annoyed, if he stays here any longer, he may not be able to control himself from beating people, not to mention that these two people obviously know each other, and it is not good for him to continue to stay here.
After Ryan left, Lusico put away his pig brother look and asked lightly, "Little girl, are there two boys who have a problem?" ”
"Hmph, it's you who has the problem, what's the matter, you also found that the situation in the big arena is not right this time." Ellie still said in the voice of a teenager.
"Hey, hey." Rusiko laughed dryly and did not speak. In fact, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, after one of his friends left the underground last night, he suddenly lost contact with him, it was a pair of psychic mirrors, within a radius of five miles, he could freely transmit the scene on both sides, he spent a whole million gold coins to buy, just last night, that is, the night Lane brought Al here, he suddenly lost contact with the other party.
He glanced at the field below, the middle-aged mercenary had already won, and there was a lot of noise under the field. Restless, he didn't stay long, and immediately turned to leave.
Back in the room, Ryan sat down side by side on the edge of the bed, the two could have asked for two rooms, but Al's injuries weren't completely healed, so he only needed one room.
"Al, those two are also the ones who will participate in the Colosseum tomorrow, and they are likely to meet." Ryan was a little worried about Al, "I can't see through these two at all, and if the participants are all at this level, I'm afraid ...... If you're not fit enough, just throw in the towel. ”
"Hmm." Al is not reckless, he knows what is at stake, "Don't say that they are in trouble now, they just stay in such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed and can't be seriously injured at will." ”
I have to say that the effect of the recovery medicine from the auction is really good, and after a night, Al can no longer see any obvious external injuries, and the fracture is also recovering well, but if you exercise vigorously, it may affect the internal organs, or the bones will break again. This is also the reason why Ryan is worried about him, the pill worth 50,000 gold coins is indeed worth this price, and Al can still feel a cool breath in his body, flowing in his internal organs.
After chatting with Al for a few words, Ryan was ready to go to bed, and tomorrow was the opening ceremony of the Colosseum, with a total of 61 people participating in the Colosseum, and it was held simultaneously in five venues every day. In the first round, there will be two games in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and one person will have a bye.
The next morning, Al woke up early, as usual. The two of them had eaten a bite to eat and then came to the venue.
At this time, there were already many people in the audience, and even most of the people in the audience were chatting, which seemed very lively.
At this moment, a young man dressed in black with a black crow on his shoulder walked out, with triangular eyes and high cheekbones, looking a little gloomy.
He said loudly, "Welcome to the gladiatorial arena to watch the gladiatorial fight, the number and quality of the arena this time is not as large as before, I believe it will make everyone's blood boil." ”
"Woooooo
"Oooh!"
"Bang Bang!"
There was a boiling in the audience, and the young man mobilized the audience's emotions in a few words.
In one corner of the auditorium, two orthogonal heads are connected to each other. "Captain, is that guy really going to be here?"
"There can be no mistake, this was predicted by the archbishop himself, are you questioning him?"
"Don't dare, how can I question the archbishop, but there's nothing down there that I haven't seen him?"
"This ......, maybe he hid in the hotel and didn't come out. Well, you should immediately send more people to and from various places to keep an eye on them, and although the gladiatorial arena is the place where he is most likely to appear, other places can't be spared either. ”
"Captain, if there are too many people, I'm afraid those few here will notice it."
"Hmph, you can send as many people as you can without being discovered by them, as soon as he appears, the entire underground will be cleaned, and you don't have to care about those few at all."
"Understood, Captain, I'll go."
I don't know when there was a different person on the field, and the results of the random arrangement and combination of the list after yesterday's registration deadline were announced, "Now please come to the field, No. 56 vs. No. 32, No. 1 field, No. 19 ......"
At first, none of them were called, and the two of them watched from the stage. The five gladiatorial battles started at the same time, and the scene was extremely hot and intense, which is also what can attract people.
Soon, the first round was over, and in the second round, Ryan was called, his number was 59, and the opposite was 26. The other party was a very thin and tall man with a three-meter-long steel spear as a weapon, but when he stood up the spear, it looked like two bamboo poles from a distance.
Ryan didn't feel nervous on the field, but a little excited, after watching the last round of the game, he found that the level of the participants was uneven, among the ten players, only one was a threat to him, and the rest of Ryan's current ability can be easily cleaned up, one of them didn't even know martial arts at all, took a long sword, and the strange screamer waved the long sword, his opponent obviously hadn't seen this kind of play, and he actually panicked, and was knocked off the weapon in two clicks, and was cut to the ground, if he hadn't admitted defeat early, I'm afraid they'll all be cut into pieces.
"Boy, it's too late to admit defeat." The tall, thin man raised his spear and pointed it at Ryan, and a cone-shaped wind rushed towards Ryan. Ryan's chest tightened, his heart contracted violently, and he took three steps back in succession before he dissipated this energy.
Seeing Ryan retreat, the tall and thin man suddenly showed a look of contempt.
Taking a deep breath, some thoughts quickly flashed through Ryan's mind.
There is an expert in using a gun in the Red Fox Mercenary Group, an inch long and an inch strong, the longer the gun, the stronger the power of stabbing and chopping, but the length of being close to someone limits flexibility, so you must be close to those who use guns. The average spear is about two meters, and if a gun is too long, it will be a nightmare if it is approached, and the body of the gun is easy to break. The tall and thin spear is three meters long, and while his advantages are magnified, his weaknesses are also magnified.
