Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Iron Mask King
Ding Huo broke through three levels of death in a row, and then surpassed the limit and used the Heavenly Fire to change the fifth type of flame armor to kill Tu Tian with one blow, not only survived the hellish challenge, but also obtained the qualification of the Ten Heavenly Kings, and from then on, Ding Huo was one of the ten gladiators who stood at the peak of the gladiatorial arena.
So what?
It's just a slave.
Ding Huo laughed arrogantly in the face of more than 30,000 spectators who left the audience, and there was no humiliation and unwillingness in his heart, but sooner or later, he would be free, he firmly believed.
Dragging his almost exhausted body, Ding Huo came to the hot spring palace, and after throwing himself in the soup pool that could heal his wounds quickly, he felt the warmth soaked into the 36,000 pores on his body.
When you wake up again.
Ding Huo found himself on a soft big bed, with a delicate and beautiful face, looking at him closely, with a pair of big moist eyes that were very curious.
Not......
This big-eyed girl is Ding Huo's acquaintance in Tangchi Palace, every time Ding Huo is injured and comes to Tangchi Palace, she is serving Ding Huo.
Ding Huo moved his body a little uncomfortably, but he felt that his body was as heavy as a rock, and there was a sharp pain in his chest and shoulders that wanted to tear, so he frowned slightly, this expression, the big-eyed girl couldn't see it, because Ding Huo was wearing an iron mask that couldn't be taken off.
The big-eyed girl was still silent, looking at Ding Huo as if she was looking at the most beautiful pearl jewelry.
Cough.
Ding Huo coughed uncomfortably: "What are you looking at?"
"Of course, I'm looking at the handsome, handsome, charming, chic, strong, mysterious, and noble Iron Mask King!" said the big-eyed girl with a grin, her voice crisp like a lyre.
It's really rare to say so many adjectives in one breath...... , Ding Huo thought about it, and looked at the big-eyed girl suspiciously: "Iron Mask Heavenly King?"
"The new Heavenly King who defeated Tu Tian, the invincible Heavenly King in the arena, the genius gladiator who can compete with the King of Gladiators, Khan Nibal, oh woo!" the big-eyed girl cheered, "It's you, Iron Mask King!"
......
At this moment, Ding Huo didn't want to say anything.
"Why are you unhappy?" the big-eyed girl looked at Ding Huo strangely, "Why are you always so melancholy? ”
The big-eyed girl took out a tray and took out another tray...... There are more than a dozen of them, and all of them are piled up into a hill of moonstones, and there will probably be thousands, which is really an amazing fortune.
"And this. ”
The big-eyed girl took out the last tray, on which was a token made of crimson spar, and the token was engraved with the words 'Heavenly King', which was the identity of the Ten Heavenly Kings, an identity card with various special rights in the gladiatorial arena.
"It was originally Tu Tian, but now it belongs to you, do you know the position of the Ten Heavenly Kings, how long has it been since it has changed?Three years, you are the most legendary gladiator in the gladiatorial arena in the past three years!"
Dante Huo still did not speak, under the iron mask, his eyes were calm, calm as if the sea was full of sorrow.
"Be happy, or I'll serve you once, for free." "The big-eyed girl will take off the white cloth that binds her breast.
Ding Huo held her hand.
"How long have you been here?" Ding Huo suddenly asked.
"Are you here in the bloody arena?" the big-eyed girl counted her fingers cutely, "probably...... It's been ten years, and when I was sold, I was like five years old. ”
The vast majority of the various slaves, maids, and gladiators in the bloody arena were sold in by human traffickers, and there were even special organizations that searched for ordinary people with martial arts qualifications on the Nanban Continent and sold them to the bloody arena, and the bloody arena would also pay them handsomely.
Although this kind of behavior is tantamount to infringing on the rights of the people of various countries, based on the prestige of General Thor and the relatively large population base, losing a few hundred people a year and a small loss is nothing, and all countries acquiesce to this kind of business.
The only country that has announced that it will crack down on this kind of human trafficking has been shattered not long ago.
Therefore, even for the big-eyed girl who was sold into the gladiatorial arena, she has fully accepted this kind of encounter and life.
"...... you" Ding Huo looked at the innocent expression of the big-eyed girl, and couldn't ask a lot of words, what about your parents? Do you have brothers and sisters? Do you miss them? What was your previous life like?
I can't even ask.
In the end, Ding Huo only said, "How long has it been since you saw the stars?"
"I live in the Tangchi Palace, how can I have the opportunity to see the stars. The big-eyed girl shook her head, "Besides, what are you doing with those things?"
The endless, deep starry sky, which represents freedom, can look up at this free starry sky, is a person's most basic right, if anyone deprives this right, then, it is a mortal enemy, you live or die, you can stop.
"So, you don't understand. Ding Huo sighed.
What else did the big-eyed girl want to say, but Ding Huo had already gotten out of bed, his body was very stiff, but they were all flesh wounds, and his meridians were also seriously damaged, but all of them were caused by the strong use of the Heavenly Fire Change, compared with the previous times, although the injuries were more serious, but they were not unbearable.
It is also possible to take this opportunity to continue to convert the lost lives into the Force, and it is estimated that in a few days, after digesting the experience of these four battles, the fifth Pearl of the Force is also expected to take shape.
Therefore, Ding Huo ignored the pleading of the big-eyed girl and left the Tangchi Palace by himself.
"Your heart is as cold and hard as the iron mask on your face!"
The big-eyed girl screamed behind Ding Huo, seeing that Ding Huo didn't pay attention to it at all, and thinking of Ding Huo's indifferent tone just now, it was clearly contempt, what if she didn't like to look at the stars? Thinking about it, she suddenly felt that her eyes were wet, so she simply threw herself on the bed and cried happily.
Ding Huo could hear the cry behind him, but he didn't stop, he and the big-eyed girl whose thoughts had been imprisoned were people from two worlds at all.
The big-eyed girl felt that the gladiatorial arena was already the whole world, but Ding Huo was trapped here, so depressed that he couldn't breathe, and every extra second he stayed in was a kind of torment, compared to this pain, no kind of victory could give Ding Huo comfort.
At this moment, Ding Huo inexplicably remembered the princess Violet of Shaking Light, and would rather be thrown into the abyss, waiting for a little hope in the ice and loneliness, rather than becoming a slave whose life and death are dominated by others, she can definitely understand Ding Huo's feelings at the moment.
Ding Huo wanted to return to the fighting room and continue his cultivation.
As a result, at the gate of the Yuchi Palace, I met Ami.
"See the Iron Mask King!" Ami bowed.
Ding Huo couldn't help but be a little depressed: "Big boy, you also come to join in the fun." ”
Hee-hee-hee.
Ami stood up, grinning wide-mouthed, and smiling heartily.
"You won again, although I thought you would win, but I didn't expect you to really win, how many times have you already won? Is it that if you are asked to kill the Land Rover next, you can do it too? You should not be called the Iron Mask Boy on the gladiatorial roster, you should be called the Miracle Boy!"
Seeing that Ami was so excited that he was incoherent, Ding Huo also responded with a smile.
In the gladiatorial arena, if you want to live, you have to keep winning, and Ding Huo survived, it's as simple as that.
After the excitement, Ami got down to business: "There are a few things that need to be dealt with. ”
"Is the lustful prince awake?" Ding Huo's first reaction was this incident, which was a sharp sword hanging over Ding Huo's head, which always worried him.
"Not for the time being, the mad sacrifice estimates, it will be a few days, but the mad sacrifice is leaving the bloody arena, and ......" Ami glanced at Ding Huo, "He wants to take me and leave together, return to the Alchemist Association, and recommend me to become an alchemist apprentice." ”
What the......?!
Ding Huo's eyes widened at first, feeling unbelievable, and then there were a lot of inexplicable complex emotions that came to his brain, some were reluctant, some were happy for Ami, some were lost, and there were all kinds of tastes.
But Ami's next sentence shocked Ding Huo even more.
"I refused. ”
"Refuse?" Ding Huo lost his temper and grabbed Ami's shoulder, "How can you refuse, what a great opportunity this is, to leave the bloody arena and become an alchemist, isn't that your dream?"
Seeing Ding Huo's gaffe, Ami's eyes revealed a kind of warmth, and then he shook his head again: "Wrong, my dream is not to become an alchemist, but to take revenge and join the alchemist association?
Ami was growling, her fists clenched, her eyes red.
Alas.
Ding Huo sighed, he forgot that no matter how smart Ami was, he was just a teenager, and he was still a teenager with a deep hatred of blood, as a descendant of the Karen clan, and the Alchemist Association, he was not in the same place.
But...... This is also an opportunity to penetrate into the enemy, understand the enemy, and defeat the enemy.
"Ding Huo, if it were you, would you kneel in front of your enemy, even if it was so that you could kill him in the future. Ami asked Ding Huo.
Ding Huo thought for a moment and shook his head slowly but firmly.
That's impossible.
Nothing can make him bend his knees.
So, he and Ami are friends because they are a kind of person.
So Ding Huo no longer persuaded Ami.
"There is another thing, this is more important, since Tu Tian has been defeated, he has inherited the identity of Tu Tian's Ten Heavenly Kings, and he will also set up a law enforcement team to maintain law and order in the gladiatorial arena. ”
However, Tu Tian's previous subordinates had all been recruited by the gold coins, and it is said that this was Tu Tian's condition for agreeing to the gold coins, so the gold coins lent him people. ”
"So you don't have a gladiator under your hand now. ”
"And we need a lot of manpower. ”
Ami told Ding Huo about the current predicament.
Ding Huo was helpless about this.
"Ami, you also know, I'm only familiar with you, I can't do this kind of thing like recruiting people, and ...... else" Ding Huo looked around and saw that there was no one, so he said: "Isn't it necessary to carry out the escape plan next, why do you still organize a law enforcement team?"
Before breaking through the three levels and dueling the Ten Heavenly Kings, Ding Huo had already handed over the key to the flyship of the Princess of the Seven Colored Flowers to Ami, who said at the time that all the conditions were ripe and he could take a risk.
"Because the plan has changed. Ami said, "This is also the second thing, I will take you to Khannibal." ”
