Chapter 9: Death Row Squads
Luo Lan felt like he was swimming in the River Styx, and if he was not careful, he would sink into the abyss from which he would never recover.
Little did he know that Kacamille would not only have the privilege of visiting the spectacular architecture and passionate fighting scenes, but also visiting the darkest corners of the competitive city.
The middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge didn't seem to have any plans and drafts for action, so he casually threw Luo Lan into a death row squad, and when the latter asked if there was anyone or any clues to tell him since he wanted to find out about the plan of the Mutual Aid Society himself, the fat man was very happy, and he replied in one sentence: "I don't know!"
In the words of the middle-aged man, he can't do the things that cost his brains, he just does what the old guys above want, he is only responsible for sending Luo Lan to death row and slaves, as for what to do next, whatever Luo Lan arranges himself, he doesn't bother to care.
When Luo Lan asked how much time he was given, the middle-aged man said impatiently: "You can stay as long as you like, just don't bother me." ”
Such an irresponsible principal made Luo Lan feel that he had a chance.
This series of events made him have no time to respond, but he always felt that there seemed to be a great opportunity behind it, as for what it was, it only vaguely flashed in his mind, but he couldn't say what it was.
He looked up as the chains clashed, and this was the area next to the arena from where all the fighters ran to the arena to perform their killing skills.
It is spacious enough to accommodate up to 100 people to stand, and is surrounded by tightly packed stones. The brass oil lamp basin was hung from three points in turn, and the blackened ground was rotten and dead spreading, and the smell of rot wafted from every place.
At this time, several fighters were sitting around four or five rows of iron racks with various weapons, looking at him coldly.
"You're the new teammate they gave me?" A tall man walked over, he nodded at Luo Lan, came up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "I'm Wadubo, a person who has learned axes for more than twenty years and can only play with axes." You can call me by my name or you can call me Captain, but please don't call me a big man, that sounds stupid. ”
Vadubo flashed around and pointed to a man hugging his knees and cowering in the corner: "This is the cutter Stik, his maternal grandmother is said to be an orc, stay away from him when he sleeps at night, be careful that he cuts it into pieces." ”
The cutter was thin, pale, with deep dark circles on his eyes, and there was some nervous light in his eyes from time to time, seeing Luo Lan looking at him, he took out a knife and put it on his lips and said softly.
Luo Lan smiled faintly, turned his gaze away, and followed Wadubo's hand to look at a person sitting on an iron frame of weapons.
"This is the dwarf Andu, don't look at his small size, but he has a lot of strength, if you don't believe it, you can break your wrist with him if you can survive this fight. As a word of caution, if he's drunk, it's best not to do so, and be careful that he crushes your bones. ”
The dwarf Andu raised his fist at Luo Lan, then slapped his chest and roared, and his short body actually made a roaring sound, causing a shuddering sound to sound all around.
A thin man with a straight body and dark skin took the initiative to come out and make a gesture to Luo Lan, and Wadubo's big hand put on the other party's shoulder and introduced: "This spellmaster Aredin, yes, he is a Berndt. He can't speak with his tongue cut out, but he's good at killing people with his eyes, well? I'm sorry, it's spirit. ”
Aredin nodded kindly at Rolan, but it was clear in his eyes that he kept a certain distance and was wary of anyone.
Wadubo tilted his head to look at a sleepy man sitting beside him, who was the most neatly dressed of the group, and said in a mocking tone: "The last and most troublesome one, Russell the archer, who was once a bard, became an archer when he got here. If you have the right time, throw him two brass plates and he will sing like a parrot. ”
The sensual bearded archer yawned lazily and said discontentedly, "Captain, I declare once again that I am not a singer, but a bard, a talented and energetic bard......!"
"Alright," Wadubo waved his hand, and decisively stopped his words, and made a downward gesture, "and you'll tell us a new story, but there's a new person to confide in, and you must have no time to spare." ”
A person's behavior and habits can reflect his personality and hobbies, and judging from the order in which Wadubo introduced, this is likely to be the ranking of this group of people in his mind.
However, Luo Lan paid more attention to Wadubo, in his opinion, this person with a cheerful personality is the most noteworthy thing about this team, this person can leave an extremely deep impression in just a few words, and he is also very charming, and he seems to have absolute authority and cohesion among these people.
He's the soul of this squad.
Wadubo clapped his hands, as if to draw everyone's attention, he raised his chin at Luo Lan and said, "What are you good at?"
Luo Lan thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "I am a swordsman. ”
Wadubo walked to the iron frame of the weapon, he drew a sword and shook it twice, throwing it to Luo Lan seemingly casually, and said, "Show us both hands." ”
There was a "whoosh" sound in the air, and almost as soon as the sword was taken out of his hand, it flew in front of Luo Lan in an instant.
Luo Lan smiled faintly, staring at the flying chopping sword, his upper body did not move, and suddenly stretched out a finger from the bottom to the top lightly, just below the spine of the sword, and immediately changed its direction of travel, the chopping sword brushed upwards and rotated rapidly a few times, and the hilt of the sword fell steadily to his hand.
This hand is extremely beautiful. The judgment of eyesight, the strength of strength, and the grasp of timing must be controlled at an extremely accurate level to be achieved!
Everyone present looked appreciative, and Russell, the archer, whistled.
For these people who fight for their lives, any move is false, they only care about whether they use it or not, whether it is lethal or not, Luo Lan's move does not need to interpret himself from pure strength and speed, but directly shows his strengths in a refreshing and neat way, which is very appetizing to these people.
Vadubo nodded and said loudly, "You're in charge of protecting Aredin." ”
Protecting a person, this position may feel underestimated for anyone, but Luo Lan doesn't think so, a person who is worthy of protection in the team is definitely an important position, and handing over such a heavy task to him at once is not only a trust in him, but also a test for him, and it can also test a person's heart, Wadubo's small arrangement contains several purposes, so that Luo Lan does not dare to underestimate this person more and more.
"Woo......"
Outside the arena there was a loud trombone.
"It's on!" Wadubo walked a few steps and stood on the steps leading to the arena, he turned his back to the iron gate, grabbed the long axe and raised it high and shook it, and shouted, "Brothers, for survival!"
Everyone cheered up and shouted in unison, "To survive!"
Even Arettin, who couldn't speak, stood up and shouted silently.
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "To survive?"
Russell, the bard and archer, poked him in the stab and whispered, "The captain says something different every time, believe me, he thinks about it on the fly, and next time he may say 'for women'!"
At the same time as the sound of the winch rubbing, the iron fence slowly rose.
The light filled the entire passage at once.
As soon as Vadubo turned, he let out a loud roar and rushed out in the lead.
Behind him, there are strangely screaming teammates.
Luo Lan tightened the sword in his hand and followed their steps and resolutely rushed towards this confusing world.
