Chapter 295: Go to the Arena
"Someone is going to assassinate Ymir." I walked over to the bar and sat down and poured myself a glass of water.
The little devil finally turned his face: "Is it those cultists?" ”
I nodded, "Looks like you've already guessed what they're trying to do." ”
"Guess what, it doesn't make sense. In this world, the first meaning of life is survival, and people like me must learn to endure if they want to live, and they must stay away from what should not be involved. Drink this," the little devil took out a bottle of orange water and pushed it in front of me, "So, when are you going to see Ymir?" ”
"The plan has changed, I want to get in touch with Eros and the Rat King first."
"You're not going to save Ymir?"
"It's definitely going to be saved, but it's not a good time to meet him. How do you think I'm going to get in touch with Eros and the Rat King? ”
The little devil clasped his hands and pondered for a long time before he said sullenly, "There is only one way. ”
"Say."
"Sign up to enter the arena, but then your identity is revealed."
"I can change my face and change my name."
The little devil pondered for a while, and then nodded: "That's okay." On top of that, it's also necessary to hide your strength in the arena and master the means to please the audience, you have to know what the audience likes. When you have enough fame, I will try to contact the Rat King, let him invest money in you, you help him make a few big bucks, and he will summon you in ten chances. Also, if you make Eros lose enough money, she may also come to you for negotiation. ”
"Sounds pretty easy."
"Easy fart, do you think it's easy to please those audiences? Even the most mature gladiators have a hard time trying to figure out what these bastards are thinking, and if you can't please the audience, Eros won't match you, and you won't be able to enter the arena for a few weeks, and if that's the case, there's only one way left to meet Eros and win the quarterly championship in three months' time! ”
"Is there any other way for you?"
When I asked, the little devil suddenly deflated: "No." ”
"Then you still have so much!"
"I'm just telling you the reality."
"When can I sign up at the arena?"
"If you rest now, you'll get a full five hours of sleep."
I put the leftover half bottle of orange water on the table and went back to the dormitory to rest without saying a word.
As I've said before, the little devil is the kind of person who seems to be idle every day, but in fact, every word is not without purpose, and since he is urging me to go to sleep, then he naturally has a reason to do so.
The little devil said I could rest for a full five hours, but in fact he woke me up at half past six in the morning.
Yun Sheng and Lu Shengcai had already gone to the hall to practice, and I slept like this because I tossed too late last night.
I sat up from the bed in a daze, and I felt a chill on my face for a moment, and when I came back to my senses, I found that the little devil was standing next to the bed with a towel soaked in ice water, and there were even a few strands of ice ballast hanging from the towel.
"Are you awake?" The little devil looked at me with a smirk and said.
Without waiting for me to respond, he shoved the plate full of barbecue into my hand again: "Hurry up and eat, let's leave in ten minutes." ”
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
"Then you can use the barbecue on your plate as toothpaste, and eating them is equivalent to brushing your teeth."
Forget it, since time is tight at the moment, let's not be hypocritical.
I casually took a kettle, poured saliva and rinsed my mouth, and then ate the meat on the plate as fast as I could, the little devil helped me get the clothes and shoes in the morning, and as soon as I ate, he urged me to make myself ready.
The clothes and shoes he brought were all local styles.
The clothes worn by the locals have a great feature, that is, these clothes are almost not made of complete cloth, but first spliced together pieces of cloth of various materials to form a relatively large area of the whole cloth, and then use such cloth to make clothes, so that these clothes are filled with canvas, linen, cotton, leather and other complex raw materials at the same time, but fortunately, these fabrics are dyed dark, but not to look bells and whistles.
In addition, no matter what style of top, almost always has a large hood.
When I was about to get dressed and wrap the barrel of my gun around my waist, the little devil said to me, "You'd better be disguised now, huh...... By the way, you can also help me draw makeup, since you can make it easy for yourself, you should be able to help others change your face, right? ”
I took out the ghost candle from the clothes I was wearing, pressed the body of the candle against the lamp plate, blew a breath, lit the wick, and then held up the candle, let the candle flame sweep on my face and the little devil's face, and finally extinguished the candle, stuffed the ghost candle in my own pocket, and stuffed the lamp plate into the little devil's pocket.
The little devil opened his pocket and looked at it: "What is this?" ”
I said nonsense, "Powder." You have to carry it with you all the time to come back with the same face. ”
In the past, I had to keep my appearance in a state of transfiguration, I had to keep the ghost lantern on my body, and the ghost candle had to be lit, but since I read the ancient book of Vena, I have a deeper understanding of my own heritage, and I don't need to be so troublesome.
The little devil didn't notice the change in me at first, until he looked up again with a puzzled face, and realized that my appearance had changed.
He couldn't help but be surprised: "When did you ......"
I didn't respond, just took a broken mirror and asked the little devil to look at his own face.
The little devil was stunned at first, but soon, he regained his composure: "It's not as handsome as it used to be." ”
I said don't talk about it, just because of your previous appearance, saying that you are ugly is a compliment to you.
The little devil was not angry at all, and replied "thank you".
Although I don't know why the little devil is in such a hurry, it seems that time is really short at the moment, and he did not dare to delay at all, and immediately climbed out of the tavern with me through the window, and hurried along the old road in the direction of the arena.
The little devil didn't say a word on the road, I didn't know what he was thinking about, and I didn't ask much, but I could feel that he was both nervous and excited at this time, and I occasionally glanced at his face twice, and I could see the greed in his eyes.
When the arena finally appeared before our eyes, the excitement in the little devil's heart reached its peak, as if he could no longer hold himself, he spread his legs and ran, and in the process of running, I heard a series of "bang, bang, bang" from his waist.
It was the sound of large bags of gold coins colliding with each other in a bump.
I laughed helplessly in my heart, this guy seems to want to make a lot of money from me.
Until he was still more than twenty meters away from the gate of the arena, the little devil suddenly paused as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Why don't you leave?" I asked him in the back.
The little devil turned around and said to me with concern, "Remember, if you kill your opponent every time, the audience won't like you, they prefer a close fight. ”
I nodded, "Okay, then I'll try to keep it a little bit." ”
