Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cassiopeia
On the fourth day of the competition, there was a big difference between the popularity and attention of the first day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On this day, Lin Zhao pushed Alona, who didn't dare to speak, as usual, and arrived at the scene early with Bertina and Tang Yuan.
The Noxians came early, and when Lin Zhao and the others arrived, they found that the outside of the gladiatorial arena was crowded with people, and they still needed to line up to enter the arena. And when they lined up to sit down, it didn't take long for the audience platform in the entire arena to be full.
The doors of the arena slammed shut, and a staff member walked up to the door of the arena and opened the door to the passage to the room built under the stands.
"Step, step, step ......"
Gentle, steady footsteps came from the passage. All the spectators in the stands couldn't help but crane their necks and look towards the door of the passage.
"Step, step, step ......"
The sound is getting closer, louder and louder.
A young man walked out of the doorway. The complexion is slightly dark, the muscles are knotted, and the stature is slightly low, about 1.6 meters. He walked forward bare-chested, with his head bowed, and walked very calmly. He walked under the stands, in the middle of the huge arena, and did not react to the cheers that erupted from the surrounding stands, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for his opponent to enter.
"It's amazing when you see it." Lin Zhao looked at the man and couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, it's a bit low." Tang Yuan nodded and echoed Lin Zhao's words.
"Our warrior has come out and he's sitting on the ring as usual. It seems that he is confident about the next battle. The host of the arena stood on the podium and introduced in a very passionate tone: "Come, let's cheer for the new hero of the meat grinding contest - his name is Cai Tou, he has won many matches that we can't imagine, and survived to the end in the siege of more than 200 people!" To be honest, I personally don't like this name, I prefer to call him the legendary title - Viscello! ”
"Viscello!"
"Viscello!"
"Viscello!"
"Viscello!"
……
The stands erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the chaotic voices gradually became uniform in the shouts and cheers, sounding extremely shocking.
However, in the center of the arena, the gladiator who was called Cai Tou by the host did not react at all, and still sat quietly with his head bowed and his eyes closed.
"Bertina, ...... there"
Tang Yuan suddenly let out a voice and raised his chin in one direction. Bertina, Lin Zhao, and Alona all followed Tang Yuan's gesture and looked in that direction and saw hair as red as fire.
Katerina!
The dashing and wild woman sat casually with a slender object in her mouth, one foot on the chair, and one arm propped up on her bent knee.
She wore a black blindfold on her left eye, which covered the slender scar, and she looked a little like a pirate.
Lin Zhao was a little puzzled, when he went to the bottom area that day, Caterina was not wearing an eye patch, and the eye that was now covered by the eye patch should also be intact and looked normal in all aspects. But why, is she wearing an eye patch today?
Next to Caterina sat a woman, who looked a little similar to Katerina, but was more charming and charming in comparison. Lin Zhao guessed that this should be Katerina's sister, the future Demon Serpent's embrace, Cassiopeia.
If the woman was really Cassiopeia, then she should not have been cursed by now, the lower half of the snake's body had not yet appeared, and her face had not become stiff, and she still looked very beautiful. Thinking about the shape in the game in his previous life, Lin Zhao couldn't believe that these two characters would be the same person.
Caterina noticed the gazes of Bertina and Lin Zhao, and couldn't help but turn her head, glanced at them, smiled slightly, and then patted the arm of the woman next to her, and pointed to Lin Zhao's side.
The woman followed Katerina's finger to look this way, waved her hand and smiled slightly, and said hello.
…… In this way, she should indeed be Cassiopeia.
Lin Zhao looked at the movements of the two women and was somewhat sure.
There were even more violent cheers in the stands, which suppressed all the conversations for a moment, and also attracted the attention of Lin Zhao and Katarina, who were greeting them from afar, interrupting their long-distance communication.
Lin Zhao saw the gladiator Cai Tou on the arena stand up, and the short strong man looked at a passageway, his eyes as sharp as a sword, murderous.
"It's time to start!" An audience member sitting next to Lin Zhao stood up excitedly, "This time this gladiator is facing three hundred and twenty enemies, more than ten more than Vescero seven years ago!" In Noxus, apart from Lord Draven's throwing axe execution field, this is simply the most wonderful performance! ”
The people around were all extremely fanatical, and Lin Zhao noticed that there were even many children in the stands standing on the chairs, straddle the shoulders of adults, and shout and scream indiscriminately with others.
Bertina and Tang Yuan seemed to be very calm, but Lin Zhao noticed that her hands were already clenched tightly, and her eyes were full of excitement, as if she couldn't wait to go out and participate in the duel. Even Alona forgot about everything else, forgot to guard Lin Zhao, sat in a wheelchair, leaned forward slightly, and devoted herself to the arena.
…… Could this be the difference between himself and the Noxians?
Lin Zhao felt a little out of place with his surroundings, he couldn't help but put his mouth next to Bertina's ear and whispered, "When are we leaving?" ”
"Halfway through the game." "That's when everybody gets attracted to the game, and that's the best time for us to leave. As if she knew she was about to say goodbye to the arena, she was talking with both eyes glued to the arena, refusing to waste even a minute or a second of watching the game.
Gladiator Cai Tou faced the passage where fighters came out one after another, tall or short, fat or thin, but without exception, they were full of the temperament of a beast. They were as murderous as Cai Tou, and after they all appeared, they stood in several rows facing Cai Tou, staring at each other coldly.
Whether Cai Tou faced three hundred and twenty people, or three hundred and twenty people faced Caitou who killed an opponent of their size, no one was afraid. No one cares about fear - on a bloody battlefield like the Meat Grinder Contest, if you don't let go of your fear and don't let your heart be filled with ferocious emotions, it's like looking for death!
"Okay, all the gladiators have entered, staff please close the door." The host's voice became higher and higher, and his tone became more and more passionate one sentence after another, "Then, audience, please keep your eyes open, these gladiators are all truly strong people who have mastered the energy of runes!" In this game, as it was yesterday afternoon, all their bans will be lifted. What lies ahead of you is a truly gigantic war! ”
This explanation ignited all the emotions of the entire audience, and everyone's emotions were in full bloom, and they cheered wildly one by one.
The host looked around, very satisfied with his incendiary explanation, nodded, and continued: "Next, when we put our weapons on the battlefield, this world-renowned game will officially begin!" ”
Weapons!?
Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, these people didn't take weapons when they came out, he thought they were going to fight with their bare hands, but he didn't expect that there would be weapons dropped.
"Game - Begin!"
The host roared and announced, as if he had exhausted his strength to feed, and his neck was red.
Lin Zhao only saw that all the gladiators in the arena suddenly turned their gaze to one place. He followed that gaze and saw a sudden halo of light on one of the walls at the top of the stands.
Boom Boom
The sound of countless gold and iron clashing together, becoming heavy and piercing like a muffled thunder exploding on the top of the stands. Countless weapons slanted out of there and fell towards the dueling arena.
