Chapter 258: The Princess and the Dragon 15
Morada City is the largest city in the Nolan Empire after the royal city, and it is also an important economic city in the empire.
It's dark at this point, but for some special places, the activity has just begun.
The indoor gladiatorial arena in the west of the city is brightly lit, and from the outside you can hear a constant burst of deafening shouts or cheers, mixed with the curses of those who have lost bets.
The indoor gladiatorial arena is like an inverted cone with a sharp end cut off, and the high platforms at the top and bottom are full of nobles looking for fun, and one of the high platforms is also separated by special materials and transparent glass, so that you can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside clearly.
This is a special private room, in which the rich and powerful nobles are seated.
Xingyun and the four of them have been sitting in a private room for a long time, but so far they haven't seen the person they are looking for appear.
When they arrived in Morada, they rented a small separate building and began collecting alarms.
Holly Buddy was familiar with this kind of thing, and soon they heard that there were many other races in the Colosseum, and one of them was a male orc whose description was somewhat similar to that of Holly's father.
Hollibadi is from the Fire Lion clan and has flame-like lines on his face and limbs, which are characteristic of his people.
The gladiatorial arena is heavily guarded, and the people behind it are very large, and the arena is not only guarded by warrior mages, but also said to have a defensive magic array.
So, Dinah disguised herself as a foreign aristocratic maiden and brought three other people dressed as maids and guards into the indoor gladiatorial arena.
At this time, there was a Terran warrior and a fifth-order demonic beast in the field, and the battle was almost over, and finally ended with the warrior slashing the belly of the demonic beast with the sword in his hand.
However, the Terran warrior was also seriously wounded, and was carried down by the staff of the gladiatorial arena.
Those who won the bet began to cheer and whistle, while those who lost naturally broke out and cursed.
In addition to all kinds of slave gladiators in the gladiatorial arena, there are also people who take the initiative to challenge, but they all have to sign a life and death contract.
From the beginning to the present, they have seen several performances, but none of them have seen Holly and their father.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
The host's voice rang out, "Are you happy to watch tonight's performance?" ”
"Happy!!"
"Is that the end of tonight's entertainment?" The moderator asked in a long voice.
"No ——!!" People shouted.
"That's right, it's our undefeated one-eyed bill !! who is coming out on the pitch right now"
Hearing the name, Holly and Buddy stood up and walked over to the glass, staring at the iron doors below that were about to open.
One-Eyed Bill is exactly the person they were looking for this time, and although the name was wrong, it was the only clue they found.
One of the iron doors opened, and a tall figure stepped out.
As the man walked to the middle of the field, Holly's eyes widened and tears welled up involuntarily.
And Buddy next to him was already yelling, raising his hands as if he was smashing glass and rushing out, but he was pulled back violently.
The huge force made him take a few steps back, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Xingyun, who was originally sitting, didn't know what it was, standing behind him and squinting coldly at him.
Buddy shrunk his neck, his beastly instincts making him completely afraid to speak at this point.
Xing Yun walked to the glass, looked at the orc below who was already entangled with a sixth-order demonic beast, and asked, "That's your father?" ”
Holly nodded, wiped her tears, and pressed against the glass to look more closely.
The orc was muscular, with red lines like flames on his face and limbs.
He has several scars on his face, one of which runs from his forehead to the entire left eye, and he looks very hideous.
One man and one beast fought for a long time, and in the end, the one-eyed bill successfully killed the monster, but he also paid a lot of price, and half of his body was stained red with blood.
After the victory, he did not end, but another iron door opened, and a male orc with black beast ears stepped out.
The atmosphere in the audience was even more enthusiastic, the blood brought by the beasts was only an appetizer, and the gladiatorial fights between the orcs were always a fixture in the gladiatorial arena.
Here, orcs are destined to kill each other in order to live longer, and fight to the death for the entertainment of the human race.
"Kill him! Kill him!! ”
The people in the audience began to shout, and the atmosphere of the colosseum was pushed to the top.
Holly clenched her hands tightly, biting her lower lip, breathing heavily, her eyes staring at the battle below.
"What do you want to do?"
Hearing Xingyun's question, Holly took a deep breath, tried to calm the anger in her heart, and said in a dumb voice, "Tonight is too hasty, I need to go back and make some preparations." ”
Although Holly wanted to rush out and rescue her father, she held back.
Rushing out so recklessly, not only is it impossible to rescue her father, but she will even catch herself, which is not what Holly wants.
Even with Xingyun's help, Holly will not put all her hopes on her.
Xingyun nodded, she was a calm and thoughtful girl.
Even though One-Eyed Bill was not lightly injured in the last battle, he still won this battle, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
His opponent was not much better than him, lying on the ground covered in blood.
The audience shouted "Kill him", but Bill didn't do so and instead put his weapon on the rack.
There was a boo from the audience, but it was best for the person in charge of the gladiatorial arena.
Although the audience hopes that blood likes death, thinking from the perspective of the gladiatorial arena owner, he can't let every battle end in death, and the orc gladiator can't withstand that much attrition.
And the one-eyed Bill is not like some orc gladiators who will deliberately cripple their opponents, so as to increase their survival rate in the future, and the orc gladiators who fight with Bill can basically survive with their strong self-healing power even if they fail, and they can also appear in the next battle.
In the last performance, a dwarf appeared, and the dwarf carried a sledgehammer taller than himself, and smashed to death a monster four or five times taller than him.
After all the performances, Dinah approached the head of the arena and tentatively asked if she could pay for the one-eyed orc.
But the person in charge politely refused, this was not the first nobleman to propose to buy it, but none of them succeeded.
The person in charge even enthusiastically told Dinah that if she wanted to buy orcs, there would be an underground auction in the city in three days, and she heard that there would be a lot of aliens in this auction, and she could go and see it.
