Chapter 31: Killing (3rd Watch)
At this time, everyone had just reacted from the shock of the two-headed dog's sudden outburst, and when they saw a barbarian with a strange tattoo on his body suddenly break into the gladiatorial arena and repel the two-headed dog, they immediately broke out into a cry of shock.
After hearing that the two-headed dog had attacked the kingdom's procurator, the owner of the gladiatorial arena, Junius Bruno, finally arrived anxiously at the scene.
"Master Frix, are you alright. ”
Bruno hurried to Fricks' side, relieved to see that the Ombudsman, who was very important to him, was safe and sound.
Frix subconsciously straightened his slightly embarrassed appearance, although he didn't know what happened in that moment just now, he also knew that he was indeed rescued now.
Frix immediately restored the majesty of the Kingdom Inspector, and unceremoniously pointed at Bruno and scolded: "Bruno, your so-called wonderful program almost murdered the Kingdom Inspector, the most trusted courtier of the great King Agamemnon, and you will bear a severe punishment for it!"
Bruno's heart sank, although he knew that Fricks was alarmist, and the power of the Junius family was not afraid, but he did not dare to provoke the other party again at this time, so he had to squeeze out a flattering smirk on his face as much as possible, and then took a beautiful money bag woven of silk from his waist and stuffed it into Frix's hand without a trace.
The greedy look in Frix's eyes flickered, but he decisively refused to accept Bruno's bribe, and the exquisite money bag fell to the ground with a crisp metal crashing sound.
Frix secretly scolded the other party in his heart for being a fool for bribing the Inspector of the Kingdom in such a large public, and if he was accidentally seen by a nobleman or councilor, the status and majesty that he had worked so hard to gain would be destroyed.
At this time, Arthur Evans also hurried over, and the kingdom's procurator was in danger of doom in front of him, and no matter how he was, it was impossible for him to continue to sit still, so he had to come up to check and greet him.
"Praise to Aphro...... Oh, I mean thank the gods, the Ombudsman is safe and sound, and the gods have shown Mycenae the greatest favor of the gods. ”
For Arthur Evans's stammer, Frix just snorted casually from his throat, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't take the third prince of this kingdom in his eyes at all.
Arthur Evans only smiled absently at Frix's reaction, but the hand hidden in his sleeve involuntarily clenched into a fist.
At this time, everyone suddenly felt a tumbling heat wave, which was different from the heat wave emitted when the flame burned, but like the light of the sun, it felt infinite heat from the inside out.
The eldest prince Alubond came suddenly with his cronies, and the light of the sun god that had not yet dissipated on his body attracted everyone's awe-inspiring eyes.
Seeing Alubond, Frix immediately had a serious expression on his face, and took the initiative to take a step forward to greet him, with an attitude that was diametrically opposed to the previous treatment of the third prince.
"May the light of the sun god always shine above your head, Your Highness the Prince. ”
Alubond is not arrogant either, and he returns to a battlefield standard etiquette with dignity, and his demeanor always reveals the majesty of a general.
At this time, Alu Bond suddenly looked at his third brother, and his sharp gaze made the other party's body tremble.
"What are you doing here?"
Arthur Evans couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the usual tall brother would take the initiative to talk to him, and there was a faint tone in his words that made him feel weird.
"Hehe, I'm just here to have a good time, just like other nobles, I heard that there is a special performance in the gladiatorial arena today, but I didn't expect to meet the eldest brother here. ”
I thought that my eldest brother would just ask casually, and then he would be dismissive of himself as usual, but he didn't expect the other party to continue unceremoniously: "Arthur Evans, have you fallen to such a point that you need to come to the gladiatorial arena to survive in the most despicable way?"
Arthur Evans' expression froze for a moment, and then infinite humiliation welled up in his heart.
In the Peloponnese, only the aristocracy stood at the top, enjoying the obedience and support of the commoners, and even the wealthy merchants were condescending to the lowest nobles. And because of the financial resources that are not equal to the status of the merchants, even the common people feel despicable.
And the meaning of Alubond's words is undoubtedly to compare Arthur Evans, the third prince of Mycenae, with the most humble merchant.
Arthur Evans subconsciously buried his head to hide the uncontrollable expression on his face, but his body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
For the conversation between the two princes, both the kingdom procurator Frix and the great nobleman Bruno chose to be silent, but their eyes were also undisguised contempt, because no matter which brother they were with, the third prince seemed like a wisp of dust stained on the statue of the glorious god, so dazzling and useless.
At this moment, the wailing of a two-headed dog suddenly came from under the platform behind him, and then a figure ejected and smashed heavily on the platform, shaking the bodies of everyone on the platform.
The figure, covered in foul-smelling liquid, threw a heart bigger than a human head onto the platform with a flick of his arm, and the person next to him couldn't dodge it for a moment, and the luxurious clothes on his body immediately splattered blood and contaminated it.
"Oh my brother, I hope this Ombudsman is really as righteous and great as you say...... I'd bet 1 taran with silver that this guy ate at least a hundred pigs raw last night, and that smell of stench can't even be washed away by Styx. ”
Kratos wiped a handful of liquid as thick as snot from his body, and threw it to the side indiscriminately, and a guard next to him, who was badly burned and still didn't dare to moan in pain, was immediately thrown off, and the strong stench rushed to his nose, and for a moment even the sharp pain on his body was replaced by the stench.
Arthur Evans looked at his cheap brother in amazement, just now he only saw Alubond's flame from the sun god erupt, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was this Spartan who saved the kingdom overseer, and he would appear in such a shocking way.
The two-headed dog's two huge heads were thrown by Kratos on the platform indiscriminately, and the pair of wide clear yellow pupils could not be closed until death, as if they had been brutally beaten before death, and the nose and mouth were a blur of flesh and blood.
One of the skull's eyeballs was blown out, leaving only the sockets of a black hole. The mouth of the other head was wide open, but it was a mess inside, and the tongue was broken and the flesh was charred with black marks, and it looked like flames had exploded directly in the mouth.
Kratos casually smeared the stain of the bronze longsword on the body of one of the guards beside him, and the refined armor of the craftsman was immediately contaminated with a foul-smelling liquid that adhered to it, and Inspector Frix was stunned to see his guards being so badly wrecked, and the muscles in his face couldn't stop throbbing.
Inserting his sword into the scabbard, Kratos stepped behind Arthur Evans, his filthy and burned blood blisters in stark contrast to his nonchalant expression, and anyone who looked at it would have thought that this was a typical Spartan—powerful but simple-minded.
"I heard that there is a Spartan in the city of Telian, is that him?"
"This mighty barbarian is the brother of Prince Arthur Evans, the Spartan who can kill a Cretan bull with a single punch?"
Kratos's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the nobles, and the competition that had just happened not long ago was immediately discussed by them, and when they heard that this powerful Spartan was the strong man who helped Prince Arthur Evans turn around his defeat in one fell swoop, they all showed a look of amazement and abruptness.
Alubond looked at the Spartan who intervened halfway and crushed his own solar fire with a blank expression, his eyes full of indistinguishable cold expressions.
At this time, Inspector Frix suddenly walked up to Arthur Evans and Kratos, and said in a soothing tone with no obvious expression on his face: "The gods teach us to be grateful for your selfless gifts, and I am amazed by your bravery. Frix avoided the important and said lukewarmly: "Thank you for the compliment of the third prince, I am just repaying the king's reward and doing what I should do." ”
Kratos couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart, this inspector was really a cunning old fox, and he worked hard to save him, but he didn't even say a word of thanks, but just said a few clichés without pain, which made him think of those politicians in his previous life.
After saying that, Frix also gave Arthur Evans a noble standard thank-you salute, and then said in his standard official tone: "Thank you very much for your help, Prince Arthur Evans, your generosity saved the procurator of the kingdom, the most trusted courtier of the great Agamemnon." ”
Arthur Evans stayed in place in a daze, and when Fricks's aristocratic etiquette was maintained for a while, he finally reacted, and hurriedly returned the salute, so that the other party could slowly stand up straight.
Although it was Kratos who came to the rescue, the proud Ombudsman of Mycenae has blamed it on Arthur Evans' instructions.
Even if Arthur Evans didn't understand why, he knew he was making a lot of money by accident.
Although the Ombudsman had no specific powers, he had a privilege that no nobleman could match, and that was the ability to convey his voice directly to the king's ears.
In Mycenae, the procurator was the eyes and ears of the king, looking at the land and people he owned on behalf of the most noble ruler of Mycenae.
Moreover, Frick is an extremely proud and stubborn inspector, even the eldest prince and the second prince are disdainful. If he can remember his life-saving grace, it will be an unexpected reward.
