Chapter Forty-Six: Balls and Gladiatorial Fights

It seems that Anne, as a disciple of the court archmage Antonio, is of course qualified to participate in this kind of banquet, and she can only come here as Ophelina's attendant knight, Cecil suddenly blushed, but Anne didn't seem to notice this, and after taking a seat in the ballroom, she kept looking behind Cecil. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When they had entered the hall, music sounded, and the ladies of the nobility sat in a row, and then the young gentlemen rose up and asked the woman they liked to dance, and if the woman had no objection to her request for a partner, they could both go down the dance floor.

After a while, there were more people on the dance floor, and this kind of ball was actually one of the ways for aristocratic young people to find a spouse, and the scope of life as a nobleman was actually relatively narrow, and this way of ball was also one of the important ways for men and women to get to know each other. Therefore, for the majority of young men and women who came to the banquet, the ball after the banquet was the most important, and the women sitting in the seats were extremely eager to look forward to the men they liked to find themselves, and Cecil could observe their various expressions with great interest as a spectator, happy and lost, ecstatic and sad. In short, life is all kinds of bad and good-looking.

Ophelina seemed to be born a courtesan, she soon had a hot fight with many young men, and each dance had to change partners, although she seemed to be very enthusiastic about everyone, but it was difficult to see who she was fond of, so that several aristocratic men were revolving around him, and the sons of two of the marquis almost got into a fight with who could please Ophelina in a certain dance. In the end, it was Ophelina who used her communicative skills to resolve the embarrassment, and Cecil stood behind Ophelina and couldn't help but admire the woman's exquisiteness.

In contrast, Anne, who also came to the ball, looked much more immature, although Anne's beautiful face also attracted many noble disciples to know and even invite to dance, but Anne, who grew up in Cabrada, was not very familiar with this set, she refused all the invitations of noble disciples, and did not talk to the noble girl next to her, but sat there alone, obviously she didn't like this scene very much, and looked at Cecil behind Ophelina from time to time. Cecil could only smile every time she looked at her.

Cecil looked at the audience and found that the setting of this world was really a world of fighting fathers, Cecil used the system template to observe the young men and women in the dance hall, and found that there were more than 100 noble men and women, and more than half of them were born in excellent templates, which can be said to be less than one in the ordinary aborigines, and the nobles have such a high probability of having such a high chance of being born with much better talent than others, and the higher the title, the better the talent. The genius of the revelator, which is better than the excellent template, is actually only possessed by a few children of the Grand Duke, and it seems that the probability of the royal family having it will be higher, and the legendary Chosen One is a rare existence among the dragon sons and grandsons of the emperor and king.

Cecil couldn't help but sigh that the children of these nobles had so many powerful talents was not because they were really born with talents, but simply because their parents had a lot of resources and their contributions and offerings to the temple were incomparable, so the gods would bless their children more. This world is even more thorough than the world before him, and civilians have even lost such things as talent at the starting line, no wonder they have thousands of years of hereditary aristocrats.

After a few dances, some people are happy and some are worried, and Ophelina, who is very popular in a few dances, feels very excited, and only Anne, who is sitting dryly, is very bored, and the other noble children are also concerned about everything, and there are all kinds of situations, but after the six dances, everyone stopped dancing, and the housekeeper of the palace came to everyone and saluted, saying that he would take everyone to the underground gladiatorial arena to watch the competition.

As soon as he talked about the underground arena, Cecil remembered the legendary Colosseum, and the Spartak in his own world, there would be no gladiatorial scenes of slaves and monsters fighting, Cecil definitely didn't like this kind of bloody scene in his heart, especially such a bloody gladiatorial fight just for fun. Cecil even wondered for a moment if something like this happened and whether he would stop it.

After a while, everyone came to the Colosseum, which is located underground, but it still can't be compared with the legendary Colosseum, which must only be watched by a few hundred nobles, and the audience does not have to be built so much.

Ophelina, Anne and the others made it to the audience, and Cecil was surprised to find that their attendant knights had been brought to the gladiatorial arena, and he realized that it was really a little unnecessary to worry about the legendary so-called slaves, because all kinds of signs seemed to be the ones who became the targets of the gladiatorial fight. This is also very normal, the slave fights at the bottom are really nothing to the people of the Lovalan Continent, and the viewing of the fights between the attendant knights who have the profession of the temple is the most dramatic and ornamental.

Cecil was going crazy, what kind of virtues are these nobles, they actually regard themselves as the object of gladiatorial fighting, is there any mistake, Cecil has a big opinion of Ophelina at this time, and it is too much for her to let herself take on such a shameful job. Cecil looked around at the knights, some of them were more timid, some were more worried, but more were eager to try. Cecil also felt that his three views had been refreshed, and it seemed that most of the knights still liked this event very much.

As a warrior, Cecil has always considered it honorable to fight his opponents on the battlefield, but it would be an insult to himself to engage in such bloody battles only for the sake of fun. But many followers don't think so, they don't think it's any different from going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they are also making the master happy, and they can also fight for fame and fortune for themselves.

Apparently these people and Cecil had different ideas, some of them were obviously not the first time to participate in such an event, and several people who seemed to have participated in such activities in their countries had already started warm-up exercises.

At this time, the palace steward who had just brought him in came over and gathered all the attendants and began to speak: "Warriors, gladiatorial combat is the best opportunity to show your bravery, your courage, your strength, and your bravery, so that the gods can come and see your bravery, and let your masters feel your glory. ”

This butler Cecil didn't like it at first sight, he was tall and thin with a hooked nose, definitely a villain's treacherous face, and what he said was very inspiring to everyone, but Cecil felt that he was very much like the slaves of the gladiatorial fights he saw on TV before the crossing, especially when he saw the spectators in the stands cheering wildly, Cecil was even more angry.

The hook-nosed butler began to hand out signs to Cecil and the others, a group of red and a group of blue, each group of 50 cards, with numbers from 1 to 50, and it seemed that the person who was dealt the same number in red and blue was the object of the battle. But Cecil saw that several of the Saint Order's followers had not been given signs, and there were not even people, and when he looked closely, those Saint Rank Followers did not end up, and they were all sitting next to the Lord's house. Thinking about it, when the characters reach the holy level, even Sui Hu is not something that ordinary people can humiliate at will, it seems that in this world where strength is respected, there is dignity with strength.

Cecil sent the red number 9, he looked left and right, and found that the smaller the number, the smaller the level, and when the 9th level characters went up, they were already 45 or more large numbers, and the last 50 The two red and blue groups of the highest level reached level 99.

Cecil then understood that Ophelina brought herself in after consideration, I'm afraid that the people in this gladiatorial fight were not brought in casually, and the level and strength were also divided in advance, so Ophelina deliberately found a level 50 follower, so finding herself was deliberate. The thought that he had been deliberately brought here for a gladiatorial fight made Cecil's face even more ugly.

Next, the knights who were lined up began the so-called gladiatorial fight, and after going down, it was nothing more than an irregular battle in the gladiatorial arena. Of course, this kind of gladiatorial struggle is not aimed at taking people's lives, so those whose lives drop to 50% first are considered to lose. In the beginning, it was a gladiatorial fight with people around level 50.

These attendant knights themselves are all combatants of the temple, and most of the people who can be followers are from the Temple of Bravery, the Temple of Dawn, or the Temple of Earth, and only these three temples produce the most knightly professions. Therefore, the moves are all similar, and Cecil's strength is actually as long as he is not a powerhouse of the Holy Rank, even a level 99 knight class will never be his opponent, so Cecil does not pay too much attention to the struggle in the field.

He paid more attention to the aristocrat's viewing table outside the arena, and Cecil noticed that two of the two subordinates of the hook-nosed butler were walking around the audience with a box, and the nobles kept throwing notes with numbers written on them into the box, two boxes, one red and one blue, and Cecil suddenly understood that they were actually gambling, and the content of the spinach was obviously winning or losing in the gladiatorial arena. Sure enough, the knights of the Temple of Courage of the Red Group in the sixth game won, and the nobles who voted for the red box in this round were elated, while those who suppressed the blue box were depressed, and those who did not press were quietly watching the game, not sad or happy.

Cecil turned his gaze to Ophelina's body and saw that she was also looking at her. It's like looking at an object, and there is a lot of interest in your eyes. And when Cecil looked at Anne, Anne was also looking at herself, with a worried expression on her face.
