Elise thought about it seriously and finally answered Jeno.

"As for the meat grinder competition, there haven't been any recently. However, I heard that a batch of prisoners of war brought back from Ionia had been bought by the liquidators and were about to be put into the arena. Delevingne should go and see the excitement, looking for a worthy opponent inside. ”

People who live in the Immortal Fortress know that Delevingne is boring, because Darius didn't take him with him when he went to war this time, and people want to find something to do when they are bored, so he goes to the arena every day to watch the battle.

And he's the kind of person who acts in a high-profile manner and likes to draw attention to show his presence, so it's hard for Elise not to hear from him.

"Then let's go see the excitement, maybe you don't know, I just came from Ionia." Jano seems to mention it casually, but he has been revealing certain information to Elise.

When this scattered information formed a complete network in Elise's mind, he believed that he could draw the rose out.

"Is that so? Are you here to escape the war? Elise asked Jeno as she stretched out her spider legs and hooked a bunch of keys on the wooden shelf and placed them in the palm of her hand: "Looks like you need to stay for a long time?" ”

Jeno pressed the handrail of the staircase, which was sturdy, but it was covered with dust, and replied, "No, I'll stay for one night, and tomorrow I'll find an inn for myself." ”

"Okay." Elise felt that her kindness was indeed difficult for ordinary people to accept, but she also had her own considerations, if she let Jeno live in other mansions, there would be many people, and if something happened to Jeno, she would be the first thing others thought of, so she could only take Jeno to this deserted old mansion. Since Jeno didn't accept her kindness, then forget it, but she still had to do some etiquette.

"This is the key to this house, you can sleep in the butler's room tonight, at the end of the hallway."

She took one out of the keychain and handed it to Jeno, who ran his finger through the keyring, thanked him, and flicked the key to the room Elise had arranged for him.

Elise returned to her marital chamber.

Pushing open the door, Jeno found that the room was still covered in dust, even on the bed. Only after lifting the quilt, the sheets were relatively clean, but he no longer had the heart to sleep.

He opened the window to let in the air, only to find that the window was facing the immortal fortress in the center of the city. There was a blue glimmer in his eyes, and he saw a vast amount of dark energy flickering across the stone pillars of the Immortal Fortress.

So he summoned Tamu and asked him what he knew about the Immortal Fortress.

Fat Catfish Tam straightened his top hat, then squeezed over and occupied the entire window, a pair of yellow eyes looked at the Immortal Fortress, and a fishy low and sexy voice came from between the fat and moist lips, and it was impossible to imagine how it could have these two polar opposites of elegance and vulgarity.

"For thousands of years, there has been another demon entrenched in the Immortal Fortress, which never leaves here, but its hands and feet can reach to the horizon. Unlike us, who devour iniquity, it prefers to gather knowledge. It divides itself into countless three-eyed crow incarnations and scatters them around the world, pecking away a crumb of memory from the soul of a dying man and returning it to its nest for it to savor. ”

"Then do you know that this demon was released more than ten years ago? He now resides in the body of a mortal and shares all the knowledge he has gathered with this mortal. Sounds like a good demon, do you want to learn from others? ”

Jeno teases Tam, but Tam thinks it's done enough for Jano.

"Demons? Kindness? How can it be? Tam typed three question marks in a row, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Demons are condensed by the evil thoughts of human beings, and they are born with absolute malice towards human beings, which is an irreversible nature. You've only seen this demon helping humanity, but, at what cost? This demon must be seeking a greater conspiracy, and no demon will provide gratuitous help to humanity. ”

Tam said very firmly, because no one understands the demon better than the demon himself.

"What if humans win over demons by virtue of their wisdom and make a pact with them?" Jeno looked at Tam, meaningfully, until Tam turned to look at him.

"If you're talking about humans being just mortals, then I'm sure that the demon has definitely released water."

"Okay, if you're so sure." Jeno breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed his finger at the Immortal Fortress, "Then can you take me to visit that demon's lair?" ”

"I'm afraid not, it's blocked by dark magic, and I can't take you in." Tamu shook his head, and since it had no neck, its whole stomach swayed with its head.

"Wouldn't it be impossible to get in?" Jeno had already seen it with his psionic vision, and there wasn't a single Bandel portal in the Immortal Fortress. Moreover, Elise also mentioned that the Immortal Fortress was already a forbidden area, and it was heavily guarded by Svein, and if it wasn't for the leadership of Black Rose, it would never be possible to enter, but he didn't want LeBlanc to know that he had been there, so he couldn't force his way in.

"Find another way to infiltrate." Jeno sat down in his chair and let Tam leave.

Not only was he interested in that demon, he also wanted to get into the deepest secrets of the Immortal Fortress, but LeBlanc would never let him in easily, because her weakness was hidden there.

The next morning, Jeno asked Elise to take him to the Reckoning Arena.

Elise's noble status allowed Jeno to enjoy the aristocratic treatment, choosing a front and evacuated seat in the seats on the high wall, without having to squeeze into the crazy crowd. The arena was open-air, but the aristocratic seats where Jeno was located had a sun-shaded ceiling, bright red flags in front of the high walls to show status, and even the seats were cold stone thrones, far from the stone benches that ordinary seats could match.

Beneath the circular walls is an empty arena without any bells and whistles or fountains, where gladiators will compete on a thick sheet of loess.

The Reckoning Arena is the only form of entertainment in Noxus, and its origins date back to the Dark Ages before Noxus was founded.

The predecessor of Noxus was a predatory tribe, and the aggressive people were constantly engaged in friction with each other, and they liked to conquer each other by force, so a culture of gladiatorial warfare gradually formed.

Because of this, a sacred reckoning arena was set up early in the Immortal Fortress for warriors to prove their courage and strength.

Later, as Noxus became more and more powerful, the emperor and nobles did not have to conquer the city themselves, and gradually decayed, they began to look for new excitement, so they threw prisoners of war everywhere into the arena and let them fight each other, and the only winner could gain the approval of the empire and become free men again.

For the sake of freedom, many people fell between these square inches, and the blood stained the gladiatorial arena red, just to satisfy the cruel pleasures of the dignitaries and dignitaries, and became a place of entertainment for the rotten nobles.

But with the development of competitive culture, the battles that take place in the arena have changed subtly. People tend to see a game of great skill rather than a brutal duel of life and death.

Mighty warriors will be given even more majestic names and fight each other in front of a crowd of wolves and tigers. The cheers will be dedicated to the exceptional skill, the flamboyant performance, and every splash of blood.
