Speaking of this, Andrea suddenly thought of something, looked into Duland's eyes, and asked, "By the way, the strange man who shot out and grabbed people wrapped in black robes, he is your subordinate?" When did you accept such a strong subordinate, I don't know? ”
When Kent made a move, Andrea was not present, but she also listened to her subordinates report the situation afterwards, and was shocked by Kent's means of defeating the enemy with a wave of his hand. Especially among the five people who were captured by Kent, there was also a seven-star hunter, but he was subdued by Kent without much effort, which shocked Andrea and gave birth to a trace of interest.
"Uh, the subordinate I just received recently, and I haven't had time to tell you yet......" Durand touched his nose.
"What strength is he?" Andrea asked curiously, "There are many strong people under my command, but there are no strong players who can subdue the Seven Star Hunters with three punches and two kicks. What level are your subordinates? What kind of profession is it? ”
"This ......"
Durand frowned and said nothing, his face seemed a little embarrassed. Kent's rank and profession are not easy to say, and he can't explain it clearly in a few words, so Durand thought for a while, and smiled seemingly casually: "Well, he is a combat officer, and he has been stuck in the eighth level for some time." ”
This is not a lie, the strong lich can indeed be classified in the category of the warrior, and Kent has only one lich heart, which is almost the strength of the peak of the seventh level, and it is accurate to say that he is "stuck before the eighth level".
Andrea's slender eyebrows raised slightly, and she said with a smile: "Your subordinates actually have such strength?" What about you? You can subdue him, at least one level above him, right? ”
Durand shrugged and smiled, but didn't answer the question.
"Hmph......" Andrea pursed her lips and said helplessly, "You guy...... Pretend to be mysterious! It's boring! ”
But he sighed in his heart, because no matter how close the relationship between the two was, Durand always seemed unwilling to be open and honest with her.
"Well, forget it...... Didn't I hide something from him......" Andrea comforted herself silently.
……
……
Durand's acknowledgement of arresting and detaining people in Lanlingci soon spread throughout Uptown, and then to every corner of the Shepherd's City in the space of a day. Such an arrogant and unscrupulous approach has made many people indignant at the same time, but also made more people's hearts awe-inspiring.
A person who has been pushed to the forefront by public opinion can still be so tough, which can only show that Durand is not afraid at all.
This can be seen from the fact that Blue Spirit Castle is not affected by public opinion in the city at all, and is still operating normally. And one of Duland's subordinates had the strength to capture the Seven Star Hunters, which made many ill-intentioned people feel like being poured on their heads by a basin of ice water, and they immediately extinguished the evil thoughts of continuing to muddy the water.
For a while, the discussion about Durand in the city became more and more enthusiastic, but the place in Lanlingbao was clean, and guests came and went, but no one was stupid enough to discuss Duland's affairs in Lanlingke. Everyone pretended to be confused, should drink and drink, should chat, and secretly pay close attention to the dynamics of the whole thing.
In the Batlló Gladiatorial Arena, Red Eagle monitored and guided the situation throughout the whole process, and when he heard that Durand was actually openly detaining people in Blue Spirit Castle, a meaningful smile appeared on Red Eagle's face little by little, and he muttered to himself: "Heh, what is self-inflicted, don't live...... That's it. ”
At this time, a young man dressed as a waiter quietly walked into the room, knelt down respectfully behind Red Eagle, and said, "Lord Red Eagle." ”
"You're here," Red Eagle sat quietly in the soft chair, and said lightly without looking back: "I told you what you did, how did you do it?" ”
"My lord, it's all done." The young man showed a steady attitude that did not match his age, and said calmly: "All kinds of ironclad evidence about the transaction between Durand and Ruger have been gathered. ”
"No one noticed, did you?"
"Rest assured, my lord, everything is going smoothly. Although Narug is cunning and cautious, and does things cleanly, what he has done is what he has done, and he can't hide it. There is no doubt that his deal with Durand affected the normal operation of the gladiatorial arena, which is extremely unfair to the other guests. ”
Red Eagle nodded in satisfaction.
The young man asked in a deep voice, "What should I do next, please tell me." ”
Fingers lightly tapped the armrests of the soft chair, Red Eagle thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Arrest someone." ”
"As you wish."
The young man bowed and exited the room, his still childish face calm, as if there would never be any expression or affection. He gently straightened his collar and cuffs, and then walked towards Ruger's room, his steps calm and steady, wisps of black mist silently rising from his body, enveloping his body. Under the black mist, the young man's figure quickly faded, and finally disappeared completely.
In a two-bedroom, two-room suite, Luger, dressed in a nightgown, sat in a large rocking chair, holding his head in one hand, silently thinking about something. The soft light of the magic lamp reflected on his big chubby face, but it made him feel a little dazzling for some reason.
"The situation...... Something doesn't seem good......" Luger's face was cloudy, and his small eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
As the manager of Batlló's Colosseum, he has always been sensitive to all kinds of news in the city, and this time all the rumors about Durand reached Ruger's ears, from which Ruger smelled a strong smell of conspiracy. Due to the trading relationship between the two parties, Ruger and Durand are deeply related, and this incident is clearly aimed at Duland, so Ruger will inevitably worry about whether this fire will burn on him.
Especially in the past few days, the fat man has always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and tonight is especially strong, as if some great disaster is about to befall him. By this time, he had no time to pay attention to the large amount of gold coins he had earned with the help of Duland, and he felt that these gold coins were extremely hot.
What is called a thief's weak heart, this is it.
The fat man was restless and constantly twisting his fat body, as if he was uncomfortable in any pose. He suddenly jumped out of his chair and prepared for a glass of red wine to calm down, but at this moment, the light in the room seemed to flicker, and then a large area of darkness suddenly poured out silently from every corner of the room, and in an instant, the whole room fell into complete darkness.
The darkness was deep and frozen, as if it had frozen all the space.
This is clearly a very clever dark magic, and the caster's level and ability to manipulate magic are quite extraordinary. Ruger himself is a mage, and although he is not of a high level, he can usually make at least some basic reactions. At the moment when he was shrouded in darkness, the fat man stood stiffly in place, unable to make any sound or make any movements. He could only see a look of horror in his eyes, and then he was swallowed up by the thick darkness.
After a few moments, the darkness dissipated, and the room was as usual, with all the furnishings unchanged.
The only difference is that the Lugers are gone.
The night was silent, but behind that night there was an undercurrent of madness.
The next morning, another shocking news was revealed: Ruger, the manager of the Batlló Gladiatorial Arena, was suspected of colluding with Durand to manipulate the gladiatorial performances in the Colosseum and make huge profits from them. The matter was revealed, and Ruger absconded in fear of crime and was captured.
This news was like a bombshell falling from the sky, and the entire Shepherd's City shook several times!
As one of the most popular entertainment venues in Uptown, the Colosseum of Batlló offers not only gladiatorial performances, but also gambling to accompany them. Every day, a large number of high-level hunters enter and exit the gladiatorial arena, watching performances and betting on the results of gladiatorial battles, and now they suddenly know that the results of gladiatorial battles are actually manipulated, and almost all high-level hunters who are qualified to go to Shangcheng City and above have exploded!
If the previous discussion about Duland's bloodline was just out of everyone's curiosity, then this incident really violated the fundamental interests of many people.
"You know what? Not only did Durand not know Andrea of Blue Spirit Castle, but he also dared to manipulate the operation of the Batlló Gladiatorial Arena! ”
"What a bastard! This is too much, no matter how strong he is, he shouldn't do this! No, how dare he do it! It's so daring! ”
"That fat man Ruger who actually colluded with Durand has been removed from Batlló's Colosseum and captured."
", that fat man! We lost so much money in the gladiatorial arena, it turned out to be the result of the rigging of the gladiatorial performance...... No, there has to be an explanation! ”
"Haven't you heard? This morning, the three high-ranking officials of the Batlló Colosseum have personally come forward to apologize for the incident, and announced that Luger will be publicly tried in the square in front of the Hunter's Hall in three days, and it is estimated that the fat man will not live. ”
"What about Duland? Didn't he collude with Ruger? Shall we not judge him and let him go unpunished? ”
"Uh, this...... The Batlló Colosseum side did not give any explanation......"
"How can this be! Is it just because Durand is strong that he can evade responsibility? That's impossible! I will never say yes! ”
The two people who were being discussed, one was a five-star hunter and the other was a six-star hunter, and when they were talking to each other with righteous indignation, they didn't even notice that not far from the two of them, there was Durand.
Durand stood there, quietly listening to the conversation between the two, but the two hunters of great strength did not notice his existence in the slightest.
In fact, the transaction between Durand and Ruger only adjusted the race, rank, occupation and other aspects of the two sides of the gladiatorial fight, and did not directly manipulate the results. Durand did this entirely to analyze the rules, and the adjustments he made were based on the basic requirement that the two sides were evenly matched, otherwise the fight would be over in three or five hits, what rules would he analyze? As for the gold coins that Durand helped Ruger win, he was able to win every game by predicting the outcome of the gladiatorial battle with his own insight.
But the high-ranking hunters in the city don't care about that!
All they know is that Durand and Ruger manipulate the operation of the Colosseum (and they do), and then they both react with the inevitable human reaction when they feel that their interests are being violated - magnify it!
The person who loses the money will blame Durand and Ruger for all the money he has lost before, and pour out the fire of anger on the heads of the two.
At this moment, listening to all kinds of foul language that burst out of the mouths of the two hunters, there was no emotion on Duland's face, he just listened very quietly, and even had a taste of peace. It's just that the temperature in his eyes is disappearing little by little, until it is completely silent.
