142. Dreams
In the middle of the ring, the two sides fought very fiercely, and in just a few minutes, they had already fought each other for more than a dozen rounds, and the surrounding audience was full of enthusiasm, cheers and applause.
But people who really understand swordsmanship are a little puzzled, such as Rohr.
"Is this guy deliberately putting on a show?"
He pointed his chin at the gladiator and asked rhetorically.
He saw through at a glance that the strength of the two was not at the same level at all, and the well-known swordsman on the other side was not the opponent of the gladiator at all, if he was serious about fighting for life and death, he would probably die if he couldn't make a move.
But the gladiator was not in a hurry to win, but fought with his opponent in various ways, and from time to time he also sold a flaw to make his opponent feel that he still had a chance and could win.
His acting skills can be said to be perfect and very professional, not only deceived the surrounding audience and referees, but even Oriana lied.
Of course, this is largely due to the fact that His Excellency the Sage of Flame mostly focused on Luo Er, and it was not until Luo Er broke it that she took a closer look at it, then nodded and said:
"That's true, this guy looks like a fighter from the underground gladiatorial arena."
"I see, then it's no wonder."
Rohr nodded.
The underground gladiatorial arena is simply the hardest hit area of the black match-fixing, and people who have no acting skills will definitely not be able to mix it up.
"However, in a place like the imperial capital, there is actually an underground gladiatorial arena? You seem to know a lot about this? ”
Rohr asked curiously again.
This question made Oriona a little flustered all of a sudden, like a little girl who was asked about her privacy, waved her hand again and again, and hurriedly explained:
"No, no, no!"
"How could I be that kind of person? I've never been to that kind of place! ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head shyly, not daring to look at Rohr.
Anya on the side forcibly held back a laugh and almost didn't make a sound.
She had heard a long time ago that when His Excellency the Sage of Fire was still a young and beautiful girl, he made a name for himself as the 'Scorching Flame Sword Queen' in the underground gladiatorial arena of the imperial capital.
Who hasn't had a young and frivolous middle and late second stage?
Fortunately, Rohr did not dwell on these details, and continued:
"Then this guy is putting on a show on stage, just to cheat other people's gambling money?"
Although the two of them seemed to be in a five-five match on the scene, the gladiator's side still occupied some 'visible' advantages, which was enough to attract many people to go bankrupt and bet heavily.
So when the bet was almost over, he suddenly performed again, unfortunately lost, and let I don't know how many people can go to the rooftop.
In short, gambling on dogs is not good to die.
And the development of events is also as Rohr expected, when the odds are getting higher and higher, the two sides in the ring are also in the final decision.
"Drink!"
The well-known swordsman on the opposite side used all his strength, jumped high, and used a trick equivalent to sending death in the eyes of Luo Er - a high air split.
The gladiator had the strength to dodge, but instead of retreating, he took the initiative to meet him, seemingly intending to take advantage of his opponent's huge flaw that he couldn't dodge in mid-air.
This is a very empirical and common sense choice.
However, the well-known swordsman was not too stupid, he chose a special angle to jump again, right with his back to the already very bright and dazzling sun in the sky, if the opponent wanted to take advantage of his flaws to counterattack, he would have to raise his head, and he would be dazzled by the sun.
The gladiator really hit the trap, one raised his head, and then his eyes narrowed sharply, and he made the correct reaction of being dazzled, and the sword that he had originally handed out to attack was forced to retract his chest and turn to block.
Then he was struck with a solid slash, and he took several steps back in embarrassment under the enormous force of his opponent.
This retreat just happened to withdraw from the boundary of the ring, and unfortunately lost with one move.
It all happened suddenly, but it was natural and logical, and there was no flaw in sight.
It's an old drama bone.
"You see, that's exactly what happened."
Rohr smiled disdainfully.
And the gambling dogs around who bet only then realized that their hard-earned money had been wasted, and it was another wave of loss.
So except for a few people who bet on the opposite side or those who did not bet and could give the winner some applause, most of the rest began to curse, and all kinds of vulgar words came out one after another, making the venue instantly become like a vegetable market.
"RNM refunds!"
"I'm so disappointed, I'll knock!"
"I'm so disappointed!"
Many of the losers were eager to eat the gladiator alive, and if the gaze and swearing could kill someone, he would have died hundreds of times.
But these are all planned, and that's what he wants.
The gladiator withdrew amidst a curse, and then reached out and pulled out a small glass bottle from his bosom.
The bottle was completely filled with a thick, viscous, smoke-like black substance.
Then, he spun the cap slightly.
The glass bottle shone slightly, and the black substance inside overflowed in all directions.
At the same time, in the hidden basements of the Imperial Capital, several arcane magic circles carved on the floor also began to emit a strange green light.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that the basement and the central Glory Arena form a pattern that looks like a character.
The next second, it was still a sunny morning, and the sky suddenly became dark.
Luo Er also felt a lump of fragrant and soft things, squeezed left and right into his arms, and heard a muffled sound behind him.
"Huh? You...... What do you want? I'm not that kind of person! ”
Rohr looked a little nervous as he looked at Oriana, who had suddenly slipped into his arms.
Oriana's eyes were closed, as if she was asleep, and her long, dense eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had a bad dream?
And not only was she wrong, Jeanne and Anya on the other side, and the housekeeper behind them, were also asleep.
Rohr hurriedly looked around and saw that all the audience members were asleep, including the famous swordsman who was giving his acceptance speech on stage.
Farther away, there was a series of crashing cars, and a large number of steam cars scurried around like headless flies, creating a large area of tragic crash scenes.
"What the hell is this ......"
Rohr realized that something was wrong, and even felt a creepy feeling.
He tossed Oriona aside in his arms, grabbed Jeanne's shoulders with both hands, and shook them twice vigorously.
"Jeanne! Jeana! Wake up! ”
Jeanne closed her eyes tightly and slept soundly.
"If you don't wake up, I'll print out your childhood photo and hang it on the wall!"
Rohr tried to threaten.
But this is clearly not going to be useful.
Rohr then checked Oriana's condition again, and grabbed her soft and beautiful face with force.
Orianna left him to do whatever he wanted......
"Oops...... What can I do? ”
"Ahh Daughter! What about my daughter? ”
Rohr ran out of the VIP box in a panic and ran to the player's rest area in the arena.
Along the way, I saw countless people who fell to the ground, looking like they were asleep and dead.
Fortunately, Rohr found his baby daughter in the rest area smoothly, and then took her into his arms.
He quickly tried to use all kinds of means, biting his face, scratching the soles of his feet, spinning the big windmill, etc., trying to wake his daughter up.
Naturally, all of them are ineffective, and such a state of lethargy is obviously impossible to wake up by conventional means.
But just when Rohr was in a hurry, he noticed that a contestant next to him suddenly had a convulsion of his limbs, and then several terrifying wounds appeared on his body out of thin air, and blood flowed all over the ground.
There was also a painful and frightened expression on his face, as if he had an extremely terrifying nightmare.
The man writhed on the ground for a moment, and soon stopped breathing.
It looked like he had been killed by something in his dream.
Rohr's face suddenly became solemn.
Not only do people fall into a deep sleep, but they are also likely to lose their lives in their dreams.
Including your own daughter!
"What can I do......"
Rohr took his daughter in his arms and rummaged in his left hand as hard as he could, trying to see if there was anything that could help.
But looking around, only the pamphlet that the doctor gave him might be useful.
He hurriedly opened the magic manual and used all three magic spells on his daughter.
But Klee's condition still doesn't improve.
Rohr jumped straight to his feet in a hurry.
If something happened to his daughter, he didn't dare to imagine what he would become and what he would do.
Probably, the world will be buried for her.
As his heart became more and more anxious, his thought became more and more intense, and the strong urge to destroy everything in his heart began to grow rapidly, causing the air around him to gradually become solidified.
This is definitely not the incompetent rage of ordinary people.
At least from a distance, Ah Da and Ah Er, who were watching from afar, had to reluctantly support their bodies with their canes to avoid kneeling and worshiping on this inappropriate occasion.
In their eyes, in a strange vision that was different from ordinary people, the rest area where Rohr was located was turning into an extremely terrifying area.
The entire rest area became a dim, dusk-like area, and the distorted fluctuations of air that flowed from it were the effects of strong pressure.
This kind of coercion, like a substance, seems to be able to destroy and crush everything?
But even the mysterious Ah Da only glanced in that direction a little more, and he could feel a buzzing in his head, accompanied by a burst of intense tinnitus and dizziness.
Although it is not mental pollution, it can also cause him severe mental trauma.
"This is the coercion of the village chief?"
"That place is being twisted and divided, and if you can't calm down the village chief, it's really going to be in trouble."
"Why is there such a terrifying existence as the village chief in this world?"
The expression under Ah Da's mask became extremely pale.
He had never seen the village chief lose such a temper.
I never imagined that the village chief in a state of anger would be so terrifying.
This is also a side that other villagers have not seen.
Ah Da is already thinking about breaking his previous promise and helping the village chief solve the immediate trouble.
But at this moment, the terrible coercion suddenly disappeared.
Rohr seemed to have regained his composure.
Because Klee, who was sleeping, suddenly stretched out her little hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.
Rohr could clearly sense that his daughter was terrified, she must have had a terrible nightmare.
And just incompetent rage can't solve the situation, he has to calm down and think of a way.
"Everyone is in a dream, and I'm awake, if I can fall asleep too......"
Rohr suddenly had a bold idea.
But at this moment, he is so anxious, how can he sleep?
"No way......"
Rohr took out his sword from his left hand and whispered again:
"Three!"
With the launch of the Mystery Three, the sword turned into a flying sword, shot out of the scabbard, and then drew a large arc, hitting the back of Rohr's own head with the hilt.
Then, he passed out without incident.
"Ah......h
Ah Da in the distance noticed this scene and immediately felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
Ah Er next to him reached out and tugged at his arm.
Ah Da nodded, and the figures of the two disappeared in place, and then appeared beside Luoer.
Ah Er spoke again after a long absence, and said in a deep voice:
"There is no room for desecration here."
As he spoke, a twist and blur appeared in the area where Rohr was, enveloping him and the sleeping Klee.
This will allow him to be protected from the outside world and be able to sleep peacefully.
After doing all this, the two brothers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and then left quickly like thieves.
And on Rohr's side, after being knocked unconscious by himself, his eyes were first dark, and then they lit up again.
He found himself in a strange place.
Roughly speaking, it is still the appearance of the imperial capital, and the outlines of Gothic buildings can be seen in the distance, but they are shrouded in a thick fog, which looks hazy.
This fog spreads all over the city, and there is a looming appearance everywhere.
The sky was also dark, except for a blood-red full moon, reflecting a faint light.
In the distant mist, some faint lights could be faintly seen, and some low roars and whispers could be heard, as if something unknown and terrible lurked.
"The city of your dreams?"
After taking a rough look at the environment, Rohr muttered under his breath.
He then examined his left hand and found that the saber was still lying quietly in it, and the rest of his belongings were intact.
It seems that everything in reality is reflected in the dream?
"It's a little bit of Yanan City, it's a little interesting......"
As he spoke, he took out his saber from his left hand and rotated the hilt to transform it into a two-handed axe.
Then he deliberately took out a bowler hat and put it on, pressed the brim of the top hat slightly, and muttered in a low voice:
"Tonight, Rohr joins the hunt."

Alas, I didn't draw Klee......
