Chapter 34: The Colosseum of the Sun God
Lei Xiu's brows furrowed, and he asked, "Kliman, why, did you meet him?"
Messiah said astringently, "Well, Wei Ya and I just ran into him when we were about to go out, and he also followed us along the way, although the two of them didn't talk much along the way, I couldn't say a word about what they said, and our living environment was really too different." ”
Lei Xiu looked at the Messiah with displeasure and said, "Why is it the son of the deputy city lord again, I found that the son of the deputy city lord's family is nothing good, but Messiah, this is not like the you I know, your arrogance? What about your self-confidence? Where did the Messiah, who was full of energy and dared to fight the deputy city lord of Golden Shield City at that time?"
Messiah was stunned for a moment, but before he could reply, Lei Xiu's voice continued to come.
"Messiah, you are not a person who cares about status, if you really cared, would you have given in to Hobbins at that time? Why did you risk your life to fight him? Also, where did the person who told me at the Dryad Hotel that he wanted to become a Saint-Order Elemental Mage of the Shenyuan Academy go?"
Looking at the Messiah who bowed his head and couldn't speak for a long time, Lei Xiu patted the other party's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Messiah, your heart is a little messy, if you can't even stick to your beliefs and not be influenced by others, I don't think you will be able to complete your ideals in this life!"
Messiah raised his head and stared at Lei Xiu in a daze, and suddenly laughed, shaking his head while laughing, "I'm so stupid, you're right, if I really cared about these statuses, I would have bowed to Alan and Hobbins a long time ago, so why did I do that." ”
With a long exhale, as if to exhale all his troubles, the Messiah said earnestly to Ray, " Thank you, Lei Xiu, there are so many things that have happened during this time, so my brain is not bright, I originally thought that with my talent and hard work, my achievements will never be worse than anyone else, but the reality tells me that there are classes in this world, maybe only power is the most powerful force, hehe, I won't tell you, when I heard that Hobbins escaped, I even had the idea for the first time that I was really inferior to those nobles, hahahaha, in fact, how can there be so much to think, aren't the ancestors of those nobles also commoners? There are even slaves, so where is their blood nobler than ours? You're right, I'm messed up with these things!"
Seeing the brilliance in the Messiah's eyes when the two first met, Lei Xiu was also happy for him, "Very good, this is the real you." ”
Messiah laughed, "Well, I figured it out, but you are still not allowed to joke with me and Wei Ya in the future, I have decided to devote myself to studying elemental spells in the future, and not be hindered by anyone or anything until I achieve it!"
Touching his head, Lei Xiu smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, I know, in fact, I think Wei Ya is very good, and she is a good match for you, but since you have made up your mind, I will not make such jokes again in the future." ”
With a sharp glint in his eyes, Messiah looked at Lei Xiudao, "Tomorrow that Kliman asked us to go to the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena, I didn't want to go, but now it doesn't matter, it's okay to go and see it, what about you, do you want to go together?"
Lei Xiu said with a curious look on his face, "Of course I'm interested, I'm lacking actual combat experience right now, but I don't know if I can play in person?"
Messiah sighed and said, "Sometimes I really think it's better for you to go to the Demon Fighter Academy, I like the Demon Fighter so much, what kind of elemental mage do you study? ”
Haha smiled, Lei Xiu stood up and said, "This is my secret, maybe I have a strong personality, okay, I'll go back to my room, remember to call me when I leave tomorrow." ”
Messiah shook his head and smiled, "I haven't seen the personality charm, but I admire your cheeky skills, okay, you go back, I'll call you tomorrow!"
Early the next morning, Kliman stood in front of a one-man tall full-length mirror, looked at the gorgeous samurai uniform on his body, and said to the butler behind him with satisfaction, "This tailor you found is good, let him make me three more sets of other colors according to this style, and we will take them away before leaving the city of the sun." ”
The butler nodded cautiously and said, "Yes, young master, it's not early, will we still follow Miss Wei Ya in a while?"
Kliman smiled after gently smoothing out a small fold in the neckline in front of the mirror, "Of course, hehe, the eldest lady of the Fernandez family in Golden Shield City is still the first heir, what a good marriage partner this is, his father has a very good relationship with the Diagos family, if he can support me, my certainty of becoming the family patriarch and deputy city lord will be greatly increased, didn't my useless brother just marry a distant relative of the Diagos family in order to keep the position of the first heir?" Hey, how can it be compared to marrying the daughter of the city lord's family of Golden Shield City!"
The butler sneered, "What you said is so right, if you can marry Miss Wei Ya, it will not only help your career a lot, but it will also be very face-saving to say it, but Miss Wei Ya seems to care too much about the commoner named Messiah." ”
Kliman waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "What is that commoner, yesterday I deliberately talked to Wei Ya about the topic of aristocracy, he couldn't even interject the words, hmph, that kind of lowly thing, I thought that if I was admitted to Shenyuan Academy, I would be able to soar, if he married an ordinary noblewoman, it would be possible, but the Fernandez family is an old nobleman for more than two hundred years, it is impossible with his identity, he had better get acquainted with me today and not be an eyesore by my side, otherwise I will cripple him!"
After finishing speaking, a trace of viciousness flashed in Kliman's eyes, and a sharp golden light burst out from his right palm at the same time, and after a stroke, the one-person tall full-length mirror was divided into two halves as if it had been cut by scissors, and the mirror fell, and the sound of breaking suddenly resounded throughout the room.
The housekeeper who saw this scene instantly felt that cold sweat was soaking out of his back, and he hurriedly suppressed the fear in his heart and said with a strong smile, "Young Master, your status is noble, and your strategic combat power is also outstanding, how can that kid compare with you, you think highly of him, he is just an ordinary person with a little talent in a remote city, and the biggest highlight is just being admitted to Shenyuan Academy, but Young Master, you are also a freshman of Heaven-Breaking Academy, and you are more than a hundred times stronger than him in other aspects, Miss Wei Ya is not blind, so she can naturally see who is better." ”
Kliman smiled proudly, and said sideways, "Let's get ready to go, the time is almost up, prepare more golden tickets today, take my 'golden kui', I may go down to play in person." ”
Today's Wei Ya is wearing a delicate and capable lady's riding suit, with a pair of wedge riding boots under her feet, which looks even more heroic and beautiful, but unfortunately the interest is not very high, and a small mouth is high.
The reason is that when she came to find the Messiah in the morning, she saw Lei Xiu again, and knew that Lei Xiu would also go to the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena with them, this news had already affected her mood very much, but what made her even more unhappy was that she keenly noticed that the Messiah seemed to be different from before today, no, it should be said that the Messiah seemed to have changed back to the gentle and polite young man she first knew, but extremely cold and arrogant in his bones.
In fact, after getting along in the past few days, Wei Ya has clearly felt that the Messiah has begun to accommodate herself more and more, and the two have become more intimate, although it is not yet to the extent of establishing a relationship, but it is always developing in this direction, but just when she is happy in her heart, the other party has changed back.
Wei Ya, who didn't know the reason, naturally counted all this cause and effect on Lei Xiu's head, so Lei Xiu was fiercely entangled by a pair of eyes full of malice and anger.
Henry, the coachman, had already parked the carriage at the door of the hotel, and just as Wei Ya was about to board the carriage, Kliman, who was already waiting next to him, came out, and after making an impeccable standard aristocratic etiquette, he smiled and said, "Miss Wei Ya, are you going to go to the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena? Why don't you call me?"
Wei Yaxiu frowned, although her disgust for this Kliman was worse than that of Lei Xiu, but she still patiently replied with a noble salute, "Mr. Kliman, I thought about it, I think it is better not to bother you, I will go with my friends, you should be busy with your own affairs." ”
Kliman pretended to look at the Messiah as if nothing had happened, glanced at Lei Xiu by the way, and then smiled, "You are too outward, aren't your friends my friends?" I believe these two must not have been to the city of the sun, I can just be a tour guide for them, the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena is a place with a complicated flow of people, and if you don't have a snake to lead the way, you can't experience the real fun inside." ”
After pondering for a moment, Wei Ya thought that she hadn't actually been to the Sun Gladiatorial Arena much, and she was indeed unfamiliar with the doorway inside, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I hope it didn't cause you trouble." ”
With a warm smile on his face, Kliman smiled, "Where, it is my honor to serve the beautiful lady." ”
When Kliman returned to his carriage, Reciuus squeezed his eyes at Messiah and said, "This guy is enough to see no one, and he doesn't even ask my name?"
The Messiah, who was about to pedal the car, sneered in a low voice, "He didn't ask my name for a day yesterday, and the reason why he knows what my name is was introduced by Wei Ya, so do you have a balance in your heart?"
Recius laughed and followed the Messiah into the carriage.
The two carriages galloped all the way, and in a short time they came to the gate of the Colosseum of the Sun God.
After everyone stepped out of the carriage, the first thing that caught their eyes was two huge stone statues carved into the shape of brave warriors on the left and right sides, one wearing a horned helmet and holding a sharp sword and shield, like a high mountain, and one with his hair fluttering, holding two long knives in both hands, showing his arrogance and domineering.
The two stone statues are carved very expressively, the outline of the facial features and the muscles of the body are lifelike, giving people a fierce fighting spirit that comes to the face, and you can know at a glance that it is from the handwriting of a famous artist.
The Colosseum is a huge oval-shaped building with ten floors, each with seats rising one by one, surrounding each layer to accommodate up to 50,000 people, and the roof is inlaid with a huge round glass that does not block the sun or the rain and snow.
Kliman seemed to be very familiar with this place, waved his hand to a tall man with a meaty face, threw a small bag of gold coins to the other party, and said coldly, "Go and arrange five VIP seats for us, and the rest of the money will be rewarded to you." ”
The big man grinned, skillfully put the gold coin into his arms, nodded respectfully, and said, "Yes, distinguished guest, there are competitions in three venues today, one is a fighting beast, and two are normal gladiatorial fights, may I ask which one do you want to watch?"
Kliman turned his head to look at Wei Ya and smiled, "The beast fighting competition is a little bloody, and people who come for the first time are generally not used to it, let's watch the normal gladiatorial fight today, what do you say, Miss Wei Ya?"
Seeing Wei Ya nodding, Kliman continued to ask Dahan, "Who is competing in the two venues of normal gladiatorial battles today?
Dahan said familiarly, "My lord, if you want to watch a wonderful game, I recommend you go to the fourth arena, now the game between the Black Lion and the Killer Bee, and after this is the match between the Eagle Knife and the Grizzly Bear, in which the Eagle Knife and the Killer Bee are both good at our game, I believe you will not be disappointed." ”
Kliman's eyes lit up, and he said with some surprise, "Oh, is there a game of Eagle Knife Abbic today? It's worth watching, as for the grizzly bear, I haven't heard of it, it's your newcomer here?"
The big man gave a thumbs up and touted, "My lord, you are really a regular customer, you even know the real name of the Eagle Knife, yes, this grizzly bear is a newcomer to our gladiatorial arena, although he is a free gladiator, but his strength is very good, and now he has won eighteen games in a row, so he was matched with the Eagle Knife, you should know that our rules here, if you win twenty games in a row, the free gladiator can make a request to the gladiatorial arena." ”
Kliman nodded, "Very good, it seems to be a close game, what are the odds?"
Dahan smiled and took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Kliman with both hands, and said, "My lord, this is the odds table for all today's games, you can keep it." ”
Kliman took the note with satisfaction, handed it to the butler, and continued, "Then let's go, let's go to the fourth arena." ”
Under the leadership of Dahan, everyone slowly walked to the arena, and on the way, Kliman explained to Wei Ya, "There are a total of eight arenas here, and there are various types of venues, but there are only three or four that are usually open, and what the person just said are all more famous gladiators in the gladiatorial arena, especially the one called Eagle Knife, whose strength is very good, almost at the level of a high-level demon fighter, and you can bet here, Miss Wei Ya might as well play a little for a while, if you win, you will be yours, and if you lose, you will be mine." ”
Wei Ya said indifferently, "No need, I don't like gambling, Mr. Kliman, you can do it yourself." ”
Kliman's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but his face was still smiling, "In that case, then Miss Wei Ya will take a look first, but I may personally end the game in a while, I wonder if Miss Wei Ya is willing to make a bet on me?"
