Section 047, the minotaur who fights for survival
Dante looked at the pandaman and said, "I always think you'd like to see it again, don't you?" ”
Chen Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "You guessed correctly." ”
Dante was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to see it?" Don't you hate the slave trade? ”
Chen Xiaoyao was silent, just silently smeared the meat sauce on the bread in his hand, and then ate it in a big gulp.
Dante guessed that he must have something on his mind, so he said, "What's the matter, don't want your mother-in-law's, how unhappy!" Speak up! ”
Chen Xiaoyao ate a few bites of bread and said, "The last time I came to Lanxin Town to watch a fighting show, I saw a minotaur slave. That minotaur is also considered to be a strong martial artist, and he can pick out four monsters in one go in a wheel battle. You must know that none of the monsters in these fighting shows are vegetarians. ”
"Well......" said Dante thoughtfully, "you're worried about that minotaur, aren't you?" ”
"Yes!" Chen Xiaoyao slapped the table, became a little emotional, and said, "Why do I care so much about that minotaur, because he doesn't actually have to appear in the fight show I watched." The slaves appear to be lining up in turns. ”
Speaking of this, the panda man covered his forehead with one hand, as if recalling that terrible scene. After a short while, he continued: "At that time, it was originally an orc and a wild beast fighting, but that orc was already seriously injured, so to speak, he was already powerless, and it was purely to die. ”
"......" Dante had almost guessed what was going on, and the Minotaur probably took the initiative to fight in the place of the orc and saved him.
Chen Xiaoyao dug a bowl of thick soup for himself, took a sip, and said, "I guess that fighting show is actually just a beast eating performance, satisfying the curiosity of psychopathic audiences." ”
Then, the panda man seemed to be unable to speak, stopped, looked out the window of the restaurant, shook his head, sighed and said, "It's too miserable......"
Although Dante didn't want to disturb his thoughts, he couldn't stand his ink, so he took over and said, "Then, the minotaur you said took the initiative to stand up and fight instead of the orc, and saved the orc." Really? ”
"Yes." Chen Xiaoyao nodded and said, "The scene at that time was really shocking, that brave minotaur wielded a long-handled broadsword and fought to the death with the beast, although the minotaur was also injured, but the beast was finally killed. ”
Dante soon understood what the pandaman meant by these words, and tried to ask, "You, are you saying these things because you are worried about the minotaur?" If you want to go to a fight show again, you're worried about him, right? ”
Chen Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "Alas, I'm really worried about that brave minotaur, although I said that he was injured, do you know where he was injured?" He injured his right leg, when he was hit by the beast, his right leg felt broken, but his martial arts were really exquisite, and when his right leg could not move, he actually pierced the beast's neck directly with a long-handled broadsword. This ......"
Dante then understood the mind of the panda people, indeed, slaves are like garbage in the fighting show, life and death are not important, the important thing is to be able to arouse the excitement of the audience. That minotaur was able to calmly face the battle and kill the enemy with one knife when his right leg was injured and he was on the line of life and death, which must have given people a shocking feeling.
Perhaps, Chen Xiaoyao wanted to see it again out of respect for the tenacious fighting spirit of the Minotaurs, right?
"Okay!" Dante said, "Hurry up and finish eating, let's go and see." But it's been so long since you last watched a fight show. During this time, will the minotaur participate in other fighting shows? Could something have happened? ”
Chen Xiaoyao looked at it, shook his head, and said, "Alas, I don't know." If something happens to him, there's nothing he can do. I just want to see it once, and if I don't see him, let's go and rest early. ”
"Okay, let's go." Dante agreed, and the panda man hurried to finish dinner, and got up and walked towards the theater.
When they reached the entrance of the Grand Theater, they found that it was already full of all kinds of luxuriously decorated carriages. At first glance, these carriages were owned by the kind of dignitaries and nobles who were so poor that they had only money left. It seems that the number of these carriages does not match the size of Blue Heart. The area of Lanxin Town is actually very small, and the buildings inside are very simple, and there seems to be no mansion suitable for old men to live in.
These rich and noble men are afraid that they have come from other places to watch fighting shows for fun. It seems that the underground fighting show in Blue Heart Town is very popular among the dignitaries of the Griffon Kingdom and the Gilneth Kingdom.
There are two ticket windows at the entrance of the Grand Theater, one with a beautiful inlaid railing, which looks very expensive, and is probably a "VIP window" dedicated to serving the wealthy. There was no one in front of the VIP window, it was empty, and it was estimated that the seats of the gentlemen had already been arranged, and there was no need to queue.
The other window had only a rudimentary wooden railing, but there was a long queue in front of the window. The inhabitants of Bluehearts are mainly humans, unlike neutral towns like Geartown, which can welcome different races, Bluehearts seems to be only open to humans, and at most some dwarves and gnomes will appear.
"Hurry!" Chen Xiaoyao couldn't help but get nervous when he saw such a long queue to buy tickets in front of the window, and said to Dante, "Oh my God, this line is so long, don't sell out the tickets!" ”
"Well......" said Dante, laughing, "and in that case, there is no way to do it." So, the two of them lined up at the end of the line and moved slowly forward with the group.
In the process of queuing, Dante was sharp-eyed and surprised to see that there were children in front, and the children led their parents and lined up with the line.
How can there be small children? Dante was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly whispered to Chen Xiaoyao: "Chen Xiaoyao, do you see those children queuing?" Didn't you say this wrestling show was bloody? ”
Chen Xiaoyao heard his question, glanced forward, and said disdainfully, "Che, do you think these human inhabitants will take those orcs, minotaurs, and trolls seriously?" In their eyes, this kind of fighting show is just an entertainment program used for entertainment after dinner, right? Don't forget, the children come with their parents. ”
Do you base your own joy on the pain of others? Dante's heart became heavy after listening to the panda man's words. He was now suddenly like Chen Xiaoyao, and he began to secretly worry about the fate of that minotaur.
The luck of the two is good, when they line up in front of the window, there are ordinary tickets, although the location is relatively bad, but it is good to have it.
However, the conductor looked at Yuan Yong who was standing at the window, with a suspicious expression on his face, and asked indifferently: "This gentleman is so good-looking." Not from Bluehearts, right? ”
Dante was stunned by the conductor's cold question, and then it occurred to him that the fighting show here is theoretically forbidden by law, and maybe the people here have a certain degree of vigilance against the living. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Uh...... I'm in business. I've long heard that there are wonderful programs to watch here. No, I passed by today, and I came here to open my eyes! Hey hey ......"
"Oh......" The conductor listened to him, thought for a moment, gave him a ticket, and said in the tone of a eunuch who was neither yin nor yang, "You are right, sir." It's a loss not to watch our show! Come, please get your tickets. ”
So, Dante and Chen Xiaoyao took the tickets and followed the crowd to the Grand Theater. Just as they entered the arena inside the Grand Theater, Dante stumbled upon a corner on the edge of the arena. Two people were dragging a bloody corpse out, leaving a trail of blood on the ground, and several people were following behind with mops to wipe the bloodstains!
In the Grand Theater, it was the time when people were busy looking for seats, and most people should not have noticed this scene hidden in the corner. Dante saw the blood trailing out of the stall and felt his scalp tingle.
