Section 206 Arya
Whether they are automatically or forced into the Noxus Arena, all that awaits them in the future is endless battles, until one of them unfortunately falls under the sword of their opponent in one battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The guards, who watched from the sidelines of the only possible fate of the arena fighters, had long known about it, and they indifferently threw Alista into the dueling arena again and again, and even bet with each other to see when the minotaurs, who adhered to the defensive tactics, would transform into qualified duelists.
As the brutal battle progressed, Alista's soul finally gradually became lost in the endless killing of others, and his condemnation and torment of himself became less and less after each duel.
The good-natured Minotaur chief is almost completely twisted, and is willing to become a signature duelist in the arena - if not for that fateful encounter.
Through the rows of dense fences, Alista saw countless twisted figures, swords rushing towards the field with giant axes, but soon turned into black shadows lying on the ground wailing.
The strength of his opponent made his bull's-eye glow glow with a dark red glow, and it was probably the most difficult enemy he would encounter once he entered the arena.
If he wants to survive, Alista can only hope that his opponent is like him, captured somewhere, which means that the two can fight fairly in the dueling arena, rather than one being tightly entangled in countless chains while the other is free-handed, with a well-crafted weapon.
"Maybe this will be the last battle, but it's a pity that I can't avenge my people......" Alista, who didn't really twist into a killing machine in the end, regretted this thought in his heart, and hoped that the kind little maid who allowed him to keep his sanity would have a good home in the future.
Arya is a girl who is not beautiful enough in terms of the aesthetics of the Minotaur or the Terrans, but she has a pair of clear and bright eyes, which often flash with curiosity and thinking.
Well, like the listless kid in the cell next to him.
Wait a minute!?
"Arya!"
When Alista remembered the kind little maid who had been helping him, a prisoner who looked very similar to Arya suddenly appeared by the fence of a cell he was walking through, and when he realized that he was not mistaken, the tall minotaur silently called out the name of the little maid.
What's going on?
Arya, with a dirty face, was leaning against the fence and winking playfully at Alista, wearing the same dirty and smelly prison uniform.
"Let's go! You brute bull, don't stall here! ”
Alista, who unconsciously stopped because of surprise, drew a dissatisfied curse from the guard who was pulling the collar in front of him.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, the minotaur took another step forward, and just took two steps forward, when the two vicious guards in front of him suddenly changed and protruded!
'Bang! Boom! ’
Two small clouds of smoke rose up, and even though there were still a few steps away, the stout 'Minotaur Chief' felt dizzy and a little shaky.
The two guards, who were much worse than Alista, had just a surprised expression on their cheeks, and they fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Chief Alista! Open your mouth and drink this! ”
In a daze, Alista chose to believe the little maid's words, and he tried his best to open his mouth and let Arya pour some kind of liquid into it.
In the blink of an eye, the 'Chieftain of the Bullhead' felt that he had regained his senses, and at the same time he heard the sound of soft footsteps running towards them, and he immediately tried to get up, but was held down by the little maid.
"Don't worry, Chief Alista, it's my friend Arthur. You get some rest, and when he's done with these annoying chains for you, we're ready to get out of here. ”
'Wow'
It was the sound of the chains on Alista's hands and feet, and then the corridor where he was lit up with a faint red glow, the light of the young man named Arthur, who was using the magical flames in his palm to burn the thin chains on his wrists.
This somewhat thin young man was already sweating profusely after only keeping the magic flame alive for a short time, but it didn't seem to work very well, and the thick iron chains were only burned red on the surface.
Arya, who was comforting Alista next to her, was a little nervous, the conditions of the two of them did not allow them to have a suitable lock-picking device, but fortunately, Arthur was already a see-to mage and could mobilize the fire element through mental power, so their previous strategy was that Arthur would use the 'borrowed' stun potion to stun the guards, and then Arthur would use the fire element to burn the chains of the 'Minotaur Chieftain'.
But now it seems that the chain is a little stronger than the two of them imagined.
"Okay~ That's already it. Young man, you and Arya dragged the guard's 'corpse' into the cell and left it inside. ”
The young man's face, flushed from the overuse of mental power, caught Alista's eyes, and he shook his head to speed up his consciousness, then got up and pulled the long, thick chain in front of him.
Beside her, the little maid Arya helped her friend Arthur into the cell where she had unlocked the lock to hide, and then ran out and dragged the two guards in, they were just stunned, not as the 'Bull Head Chieftain' thought, so Arya looked at Alista nervously, and Arthur tried to tie up the two guards.
"Ang~"
While the little maid dragged people, Alista took the magically red-hot chain in his hand and tightened it tightly, while roaring as low as he could in his throat.
As the force in Alista's hand gradually increased, the iron chain that had recovered some of its original color was burned, and the discoloration caused by the heat of the metal became more and more obvious!
Arthur in the room was stunned by the terrible physical strength of the 'Minotaur Chieftain', who only provided a primer, and with the slightest flaw in the thick iron chain, he was savagely pulled by the Minotaur as if it had been continuously burned for dozens of minutes.
"Ang~!"
With another low-pitched roar, the thick iron chain, which had reached its limit, split into two sections, and the left and right halves were connected to Alista's wrists, and the two "bangs" slammed into the bluestone paved ground, causing sparks to fly and leave a terrible mark.
"Alright, let's go!"
Due to the loud sound of Arista breaking the chains, the little maid Alia could no longer bother to clean up the guards, and they had to get as far away from the arena as possible before the other guards came to check on the situation.
"Yes, let's go!"
Alista agrees with Alia's decision, because he is worried about involving the kind little maid and must send Alia out of this alternative 'prison' before anyone else sees it, as for himself, how can the 'Minotaur Chieftain' leave willingly without settling accounts with the Noxians.
It's just that Arthur's legs are a little weak, he just spent too much energy and physical strength in order to invoke the fire element, he is just a trainee magician.
"Thank you for your help, young man." Alista noticed Arthur's predicament, and he thanked Arthur for his help in a deep voice, and then carried it on his shoulders without saying a word, and there was not so much time to twist it now.
Arya, who often came to the arena to do dishonorable things for some mage's experiments, was well aware of the structure of the roads, and she took Alista far away from the guarded road, escaping to a safe enough position with little hindrance.
Then, dressed as a young man, Arya turned back and said to the 'Minotaur Chief', "Chief Alista, you may need to be wronged for a moment, we must get out of here through the sewers without anyone noticing. ”
Gently placing the messy Arthur on the ground, Alista smiled for the first time since his people were killed: "No, Arya, thank you for your continued help, I don't feel wronged at all." ”
Hearing this, the little maid smiled happily, and then beckoned the two to go forward with her.
But Alista's words made Arya suddenly freeze in place: "But I can't just leave, the Minotaur still has some justice to get back." Let's go! ”
The 'Bullhead Chieftain', who no longer had to worry about the little maid, rejected Arya's suggestion to escape, and Alista decided that the only way he could regain his freedom was to make the cruel Noxian nobles pay the price of enough blood!
And there is a good opportunity in front of him, judging from the cheers of the audience just now, there is another grand event being held today, so there must be a lot of enemies outside waiting for Alista to harvest.
"Don't! Chief Alista, you shouldn't live up to Arya's kindness. "Arthur, who had never spoken to the 'Minotaur Chieftain', finally broke his silence and had the audacity to grab Alistana's fist, which was as big as his own body, instead of the more comfortable chain.
Arthur's actions touched the 'Minotaur Chieftain', but he would not easily extinguish the flame of vengeance burning in his heart.
"And today is the day of the Noxus expedition, and the streets are full of heavily armed soldiers and those powerful officers!" As if noticing that the 'Minot-headed Chieftain' didn't pay much attention to the soldiers he was talking about, Arthur hastened to add.
Thinking of those high-ranking Noxian generals whose strength was not weaker than his own, Alista's huge bull's eyes narrowed together with some vigilance, especially the calculating evil mage with a bird standing on his shoulder, he was indeed a little outnumbered by himself.
Seeing that his persuasion had an effect, Arthur secretly glanced at Arya, who was very concerned about the 'Bull-headed Chieftain', and racked his brains again to persuade: "Chief, Arya has mentioned the misfortune of you and your people, but if you want to succeed in revenge, you can't be brave, otherwise the chief's departed clansmen will be sad to know." ”
Arthur's words reminded Arya, and the kind little maid suddenly remembered the conversation she had heard: "Chief Alista! I've heard Arthur's teacher say before that although the Minotaurs of Mogro Pass have been captured by the Imperial Army, there are still some scattered Minotaurs in the depths of the 'Great Barrier Mountains' to the south. It's a pity that Arthur's teacher was also forced to go to the Voodoo Lands, otherwise we would have found out the exact news for you! ”
But Alista did not believe the little maid's plan to delay the army, because he himself knew very well whether there were any people scattered outside, and there had been such rumors, and he had sent excellent warriors from the tribe to inquire about the scattered tribesmen, but there was no trace at all.
The tall and strong Alista stopped, but she didn't give up her desperate plans, Arya didn't want the 'Minotaur Patriarch' Alista to die like this, she pleaded with a lament: "Chief, what Arthur said is indeed true, because all the troops in the city are in the streets to maintain the order of the expedition and sacrifice, so we can seize the opportunity to come to help you." The only chance for revenge now is to leave the city through the sewers and go to the 'Great Barrier Mountains' to find the chief's people, or a powerful helper like Arthur's teacher, and then come back to seek revenge on them. Those who hurt the chieftain clan will not be able to escape in a short time, and after a long time, they will let their guard down, and maybe it will be easier for the chief to take revenge at that time! ”
Arya's bloody pleas worked, and Alista was moved by the little maid's sincere words, and as long as he was not dead, the blood feud of the Minotaur would not be forgotten.
At this time, the blood and courage that rushed out in the festival may not even be able to see the face of the real enemy, and it will be consumed to death by those ignorant soldiers who can only obey orders.
Looking at the cute and kind little maid, Alista thought of the countless families behind ordinary soldiers like her, just like her own innocent people.
"Ang~~~~!" The 'Minotaur Chieftain' sighed heavily, venting the frustration in his chest slightly, "Arya! Alista owes you her life! ”
The little maid was overjoyed to hear that the 'Bull-headed Chieftain' had finally changed her mind, and she arranged for Arthur to lead the way in front of the sewers, and to follow the somewhat tenacious Alista, so as not to be deceived by the lies of honest men.
The happy Arya pushed the 'Bull Head Chief' towards the entrance of the sewer, which was not wide, and said in a brisk tone: "Chief Alista, we are friends, right, I don't want to be your 'creditor'~~~~"
The 'Bull Head Chief', who had gained a true friendship, replied happily: "Ang ~ hahaha, yes, you and that young man are friends of my old cow!" It's not easy to be Alista's friend, and when you have the chance......"
He didn't care about the strange smell of the sewers, and it was only when he talked about inviting the little maid to the clan that he suddenly came to his senses.
"There will be a chance, Chief. In your new home in the Magnificent Barrier Mountains, be sure to let us see the celebrations in the stories you told me. Arya's big eyes, still crystal clear even in the sewers where only the light of the spell shines, and her low blessing lingered in Alista's ears: "...... with the new people of the chieftain"
