CH.513 The New King
The imperial city of the ancient Vikings was called Horn City, and its name meant charging and fighting. Since the Vikings liked to fight bravely, there were many conflicts breaking out in this city every day, and it was common to be injured and maimed, and there was nothing to fuss about killing people.
In order to release the wildness in his heart, a gladiatorial arena was also built in the city, and this building was even larger and grander than the royal palace.
This is a building made of feldspar and ice, under a layer of ice and snow, it looks crystal white, but in some ice blocks, you can vaguely see the frozen corpses and blood stains inside, which greatly destroys the beauty and adds a ferocious atmosphere.
Almost every morning, the arena would come alive with well-fed Vikings paying a few silver coins to watch the warriors fight, and throwing some money into the arena as support if they came across a good gladiatorial fight.
In addition to money and honor, you can also get some privileges by participating in gladiatorial battles here, and if anyone can win a hundred games in a row, they will be eligible to challenge the king. This is how several kings of the ancient Viking kingdom were born. However, this is not an easy task, in addition to the difficulty of winning a hundred consecutive games, in the process, the gladiators will also be suppressed and persecuted by the king's forces, and it is very likely that they will die inexplicably before they can collect a hundred games.
Recently, there has been another high-profile gladiator in the arena, who has won ninety-nine consecutive matches by an absolute margin, and only needs to win one more to qualify for the king's challenge. He had shown to be extremely strong, even significantly more powerful than the current King Papata, and if he won this battle, he would probably win the Iron Crown and become the new king of the Viking Kingdom.
The gladiator was not a native Viking, but had only recently arrived and had been burned at the stake before becoming a Viking. He is said to have been a well-known pirate leader before. It is very famous in the area of the Sea of Dreams, and it is because of the recent turmoil in the Sea of Dreams that I came here in order to seek a new way out.
Due to the arrival of this person, the gladiatorial arena has been overcrowded recently, and a large number of people come here every day to watch the excitement, and the ticket price to enter the gladiatorial arena has also risen with the tide, multiplying several times.
In the midst of the cries of the crowd, a heavy cold iron door was pulled open by a noose, and a person came out from behind. It was the gladiator who was very loud. When everyone saw him, their voices became louder, and the sound shook so loudly that the water glasses were trembling.
The gladiator smiled and raised his hands at the surrounding spectators, showing his strength. Before he could go to war, a large amount of money was scattered on the field, including copper coins, silver coins, and a few gold coins. But the man didn't seem to have much interest in coins. He didn't pay attention to the coins that fell.
Another iron door was opened, and another gladiator was released, but this gladiator was not human, but a beast that roamed the frozen continent!
This beast is called the Icewind Bear. The body is extremely huge, more than three people tall, and its body is like that of a polar bear, covered in white hair. The only difference is. Its mouth is like metal, and its fangs are directly exposed, making it look very hideous and terrifying. Other than that. It also has the ability that ordinary polar bears do not have, and can spit out cold and cold winds with its mouth, hence the name Icewind Bear.
The Ice Wind Bear is strong, still above the seventh-order powerhouse, and it is a well-known fierce beast on the Frozen Land Continent, which is extremely difficult to deal with, let alone capture. This Icewind Bear was raised by the current King Papata since childhood, which is why he is so obedient, and in the past, whenever he encountered a challenger who was not self-sufficient, Papata would release this little pet to deal with the challenger, and this time was no exception.
In addition to people, some animals are occasionally put in the gladiatorial arena to participate in gladiatorial fights, which is nothing new. Seeing that the other gladiator was so special and powerful today, the emotions of the audience were further mobilized, and a higher wave erupted.
According to the rules, from the moment the two duelists walked out of the iron gate together, they could attack at will.
Driven by this, the Icewind Bear roared at the gladiator, roaring a bitter cold wind and a large amount of ice slag, and then took heavy steps and rushed towards the gladiator.
A fierce battle ensued, but the battle didn't last long, and the gladiator maintained his previous momentum, easily defeating the Icewind Bear and standing on the corpse of the beast.
This victory meant that the gladiators could next challenge King Papata, and the crowd erupted in cheers far greater than before.
After bathing in the tsunami-like roar of the mountains, the gladiators invited the high king Papata to challenge him, and the surrounding spectators shouted to urge the king to fight. The Vikings were always afraid of chaos and were happy to see their kings killed.
Papata himself would of course be present in such an important gladiatorial fight, and he listened to the deafening cry, bit his yellowed beast teeth, stimulated a white fighting spirit, and jumped into the gladiatorial arena, without saying a word, and punched the gladiator.
The two of them engaged in a fierce battle, which was even more fierce and lasted a little longer than before. Due to the strength of both men, the gladiatorial arena was severely affected, a large piece was blown away, and many cracks appeared. Some unlucky spectators died on the spot, but the rest of the spectators had no intention of leaving, but still watched the fight for their lives with great interest.
After a fierce battle, the gladiator finally lived up to his expectations and killed the old king Papata with one punch, taking the Iron Crown and becoming the new king. He stood on the highest wall at the edge of the gladiatorial arena, looked condescendingly at the people below, and shouted excitedly: "From this day on, this country is my Kandal!" ”
……
When Donk was halfway there, he heard the bad news that the lone wolf Kandal had come to the Vikings like him for some reason, and had defeated Papata before him and became the new king.
Kandal is the leader of the Second Great Pirate Regiment, and he is also an eighth-order chaos magician, who can use special chaos magic to simulate magic with various attributes, and his strength is far above that of magicians of the same level. His strength is far higher than that of Papata, and much more difficult to deal with than the latter.
And Donk has a bit of a friendship with Kandal, which can be regarded as friends, with his character. I really don't want to fight with my friends for a little profit. He even thought about turning around and leaving the country directly, but he was already very close to Clarion City, the imperial city of the ancient Vikings, only a few days away, so he dispelled this idea and continued on his way. Even if he can't win the country, he doesn't want to come for nothing, at least to meet his former friends. His new tactician, Naran, also suggested that he at least go to Clarion City before making plans, and that the Vikings were a good choice. Don't give up hastily.
A few days later, Donk led a small group to Horn City, which, despite its name as an imperial city, was not spectacular, not even comparable to the second-rate cities of the five empires. It is full of houses made of snow and ice, people wear thick fur coats, carry all kinds of sharp weapons around their waists, and drive hunting dogs that can be used to pull carts and hunt. Almost everyone here has a viking totem of courage, except for slaves.
Donk asked the locals about it. After asking about the latest news in the local area, he learned that Kandal had indeed arrived and became the new king.
At this time, Kandal should be in the palace. Or in the gladiatorial arena.
Donk first went to the more likely palace, and sure enough, he found the right place and met Kandal as he wished.
Kandal is still the same as before, the only difference is a slight change in clothing. An iron crown symbolizing power was added to the head, and a plush cape was added.
Kandal was surprised to see Donk here. At the same time, he also seemed very enthusiastic, and prepared a relatively sumptuous feast to entertain Tangk. During the dinner, in addition to reminiscing about the past, the two also exchanged information about each other, relatively speaking, Tang Ke knew more information than Kandal, and the news that the latter got was all hearsay, which deviated from the truth to some extent.
The two men expressed different opinions about the current situation, and both were surprised by the destruction of the Goldenbeard Pirates. Kandal, in particular, is inextricably linked to the Goldbeard Pirates, and knows and has a close relationship with many people in the Goldenbeard Pirates. The Goldbeard Pirates were wiped out, and he lost many of his friends at once.
But so many days have passed, Kandal has already accepted this matter, and the tears that should have fallen have already fallen, but he did not show sadness during the banquet, but just sighed a few words.
After talking about the Goldenbeard Pirates, the topic shifted to the news of the appearance of the God of Light, and finally talked about the resurrection fountain on Donk.
"I really didn't expect that the fountain of death that the major forces were vying for finally fell into your hands, and it is estimated that their lungs are about to explode." Kandal shook the glass in his hand and laughed. He was tall and his glass was not small.
"If it weren't for the fact that the two imperial alliances were fighting endlessly, and they were all too busy to take care of themselves, they would definitely hunt me down all over the world." Donk said with a shrug.
"Even if they don't have time now, they won't let you go, and they will definitely send someone to hunt you down. And in addition to the alliance of the two empires, other forces will also be angry with you, and you must not be careless. Kandal suggested.
"Don't worry. To tell you the truth, after obtaining the Resurrection Spring, my strength has become a lot stronger, and ordinary people are not my opponents at all. ”
"I've heard about this too, and it's said that you now have the power to heal quickly, and you can heal in the blink of an eye after being injured."
"Yes, with such ability, there are not many people in this world who can kill me."
"You're safe, but what about your pirate group?"
"They have also been evacuated and transferred, leaving the Dragon's Nest Island where they were originally located, and they are quite safe."
"That's good." Kandal took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth with his big hand, "In your current situation, why did you come here if you can't hide well?" ”
"I originally wanted to take refuge here, take the throne away by the way, become a king here, and open up a new base. As a result, you were the first to become the king here. As a result, I had to choose a different place to live. Donk replied calmly.
"You're here to be king?" Kandal was stunned.
"Yes."
"That's a coincidence." Kandal scratched his head, "My tactician Bobotu said let me take the country and be a king to play around, and said it would be good for the pirate group, so I came." I didn't expect you to want to be a king here. ”
Bopotu is the tactician of the Liberty Blade Pirate Regiment, and Kandal's brainstorm, and it seems that this person's thoughts coincide with Nalun, and he also thought of laundering the pirate group in this way. Gain a better name so you can attack other provinces in the future.
"I didn't expect that, but now that you've become the king of this place first, I can't compete with you for this position anymore. I wish you the best of being a good king and marrying a few more beautiful queens like Miss Eunice. Donk smiled and raised his glass.
"Haha, don't be so pitiful, if you really want this iron crown on my head, you can fight with me, if you can win me, I can give you this iron crown." Kandal said boldly.
"You're my friend. How embarrassed I am to do such a thing. ”
"Just because you're my friend, I don't want to see you come empty-handed. Besides, this throne is dispensable to me, I am used to being free, and I don't want to be a king at all. Just being the king for a few days, it's already a little boring. If you can snatch this iron crown from my head, it will help me out of the sea of suffering. ”
Hearing this, Donk hesitated. There was a slight wavering, considering whether to accept Kandal's offer.
"Okay, don't be a mother-in-law, I'll take you to the gladiatorial arena now. Let's have a good fight, and I want to see what your so-called self-healing abilities are all about. Kandal drank the rest of his wine, then stood up and strode out the door. Donk is no longer given a chance to hesitate.
Tang Ke was agitated, and no longer hesitated, and drank the wine in his cup. Then he walked out of the slightly humble hall and flew to the gladiatorial arena with Kandal.
At this time, a gladiatorial battle was being held in the gladiatorial arena, and the two sides involved in the gladiatorial fight were three snow wolves and a new gladiator, and the two sides fought for a long time, but there was still no winner.
As soon as the new king flew in, the audience let out a burst of cheers and chanted the king's name, but there was no further action, the Vikings had a rough personality, and even in the face of the king, there was not much etiquette to speak of.
Kandal terminated the ongoing gladiatorial fight as king, awarded the gladiator the victory, and then publicly announced that he would fight a duel with Donk, with the winner taking the throne of the Vikings.
The Vikings have always loved gladiatorial fights, and this time is no exception, and the last time the king fought in battle, they still remember it vividly.
"Alright, Donk, let's get started. Let me see the power of the Fountain of Resurrection. Kandal beckoned to his old friend, and then shook his body, inspiring the magic of chaos, which was mainly black, but mixed with many points of light of different colors mixed in the black. Using this chaotic magic, he can simulate all kinds of elemental magic, whether it is wind, fire, thunder or lightning, all at his fingertips. He first unleashed a thunderbolt spell, releasing two electric dragons from behind him, dragging him high into the air with the electric dragons.
