I followed Tamu and walked out of the Colosseum through a long corridor, it was the first time I had walked out of the gate of the Colosseum since I became Zhao Xin, and it was also the first time I saw the town of Noxus, which was full of lively bazaars and very dense crowds, and I listened to Tamu tell me about the situation here as I walked:

Doko is the largest town in northeastern Noxus, and although it is heavily inspected, there are still a lot of Freljords who sneak in to do some fur business.

There were also a number of Ionians who crossed the sea, and there was a mix of locals and slaves, but everyone was accustomed to each other's presence, which is also characteristic of most towns in Noxus: cultural tolerance.

Private brawls are illegal in Noxus, so the two sides of the conflict will generally resolve the dispute openly in the gladiatorial arena, Noxus is aggressive by nature, and towns with complex personnel such as Duoke are more prone to conflicts, so the gladiatorial arena is extremely popular.

Tam saw this in the gladiatorial arena opened here, but he didn't say a word about his background.

We made our way north straight out of town, I don't know what month it was, but it was already cold and the north wind was blowing and shivering.

"Here we are."

When Tamu finished speaking, he pointed forward, and I saw a group of people not far away, roughly counting about thirty of them.

What amazed me the most was the large carriage near the people, with a dozen horses in front of the huge body, and several iron chains as thick as small arms, like a land warship.

"Boss." Together, they greeted Tam with a greeting to him.

"Hunter, this is Zhao Xin, let him go with you."

After saying that, Tamu went back and handed me over to the hunter dressed as Hunter, named Hunter, and on the way I learned that we were going on a hunt, and that our prey was in the snowy fields of the north.

With a hunter and ten heavily armed guards and twenty gladiators, such a large battle does not seem to be a good kind.

Hunter is an experienced hunter, told us a lot of hunting experience, hunters give me the impression that they are generally dull and do not like to talk, but this man is very able to speak, and he does not stop talking all the way, and through his words I know that this time we are going to hunt a man-eating bear.

Man-eating bears generally only live in the extremely cold northland, this one ran into the snow field not far from Doko for some unknown reason, and was found injured by Hunter, but it is not easy to subdue it, so he asked us to come with it.

We had walked all day to reach our destination, and now that it was dark, we pitched our tents next to the wagon.

It's a full day's journey from Doko, and if you choose to escape, the guards there won't be able to catch up.

I don't think this thought will go away after it has sprung up in my heart, and I think many people think so, because everyone is sitting around the fire, and their eyes are constantly looking at each other.

There are only ten guards here, and there are only eleven hunters, and although we have no weapons, it will not be difficult for twenty brave gladiators to defeat them.

I longed to go back to Demacia, to see Fiona, and the only struggle in my heart was that Tamm was very nice to me, although I was suspected of taking advantage of it, but I couldn't say goodbye in the end.

In the end, I calmed down my inner struggle, but decided not to do it first, if people choose to rebel, then I will flee with everyone, and there will be a lot of people in the ice and snow.

Just as he was thinking, someone stepped forward first, this person was strong and strong, and his voice was very strong, which made people feel very safe, and he shouted loudly:

"Brothers, the life and death of this hunt is unknown, we shouldn't continue, no one here is watching us, no one is threatening us, this alone can't trap us, warriors who are eager for freedom, break the cage with me!"

Just a few words were impassioned and very encouraging, everyone's eyes lit up, and I thought that as long as he gave an order, everyone would follow him desperately.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the guards, and they surrounded us, just ten people surrounded twenty people, which was a bit funny no matter how you look at it.

At this time, the captain of the guard stood up: "I don't think you know the reward of this trip, if you succeed in capturing that beast, then you will get ten gold coins, now I give you another promise, anyone who stands still and does not follow the rebellion, will be given ten gold coins!" This is enough for you to redeem yourself, on the other hand, if you are still obsessed, then wait for death! ”

Twenty gold coins to redeem oneself? No wonder Tamu gave me such a good life but didn't give me gold, it turned out to be such a reason, but where is this compared to a direct freedom? I can't help but worry about this person's IQ.

However, the development of events proved that my IQ was the problem, and when the guards came, I was about to get up, but I found that except for the leader who was desperately resisting, everyone else did not move, and did not even raise their heads.

Then I sat back and watched as the leader cursed loudly and was killed by the guards, blood staining the snow red.

I don't know if everyone was "about to get up", but it was true that no one was moving, and I underestimated the allure of those twenty gold coins.

Some people, even if they have the temperament and opportunity to lead, may not be successful, because they still need people who are willing to be led.

After the leader of the troublemaker was killed, the gladiators became unusually quiet, no one spoke, their eyes were closed in the tent, some of them were tempted by the gold coins, and some of them did not want to rebel in their hearts, perhaps this unfree situation was caused by themselves.

After dawn, we found the man-eating bear, and soon found it, no wonder such a large carriage was prepared, and this man-eating bear stood up to a height of four or five meters! It's like a small hill!

At this time, the hunter gave us a weapon, a stick, and told us that we could not kill it, but that we had to be captured alive, which was Tamu's order.

Although this man-eating bear was injured, it was still very ferocious, and I can only describe it as tragic when nineteen people with wooden sticks fought against a man-eating bear that stood more than four meters high.

The wooden stick does not hurt or itch on it, and the gladiators will be injured immediately as long as they accidentally touch it, and in serious cases, they will vomit blood and fall to the ground, and the man-eating bear is obviously more adapted to the environment like snow.

The guards weren't here to help from the beginning, they were only responsible for supervising us, and at this time they watched from a distance, and some even laughed, and the hunters taught us how to deal with all kinds of emergencies along the way, but at this time they also stood by and watched the excitement.

We hit the man-eating bear on the head and legs with sticks, consuming it and provoking it, and at the same time people kept falling down, until there were only four people left, and we knocked it down, and the mouth kept exhaling hot breath, and then the hunters brought the guards to lock it up.

"You've done a good job, and you'll be rewarded with twenty gold coins each when you go back, and I'll do what I say." The captain said with a smile on his face, not feeling sorry for the sacrificed people at all.

I don't know what the mood of the survivors were, and if they knew it would be like this, would they have chosen to rebel yesterday?

Back in town, we were greeted by the smiling face of Tam, who looked at the sturdy man-eating bear tied up, and came over to touch it, and on the way back to the gladiatorial arena, he asked me:

"Such a great opportunity, why don't you run away? I really didn't expect you to come back, and with these people, there is no way to stop you. ”

"I have received your favor, how can I leave without a reason?"

"That's on the one hand, on the other hand, you're afraid that you won't be able to survive alone in the boundless snowfield, right? Actually, don't worry, you ask Hunter what I explained to him when you left. ”

Hunter smiled slightly: "The boss said that if you want to leave, don't stop you, and let me send you out of the snowfield, but you didn't make a similar request." ”

……

I really don't know what to say, as if everything is in Tam's plan, is this person playing with me? Help me improve my strength, and don't care about my departure in the slightest, I've thought about his purpose more than once, but I never noticed.

"Boss, I heard that twenty gold coins can be redeemed, is it true?"

"What? Want to go now? You don't grasp the opportunity to give you, so you just run to redeem yourself, but don't worry, I will arrange a task for you again in a few days, and if you complete it, you will be free, at least I will not care about you. ”

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, but since he said so, I can only wait, although I feel that the next task will not be easily completed, but I don't feel his malice.

Is it like the story says: give me hope first, then destroy me?
