Chapter 373: Death Arena
The city of Sherkas is a border city in Gupta country.
However, because of its special geographical location, this city has always occupied the status of the second largest city in Gupta since the real division of the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu.
After all, the city called Sherkas is connected to three different countries.
Even if you look at the entire continent, there are very few such special locations.
To the northeast of the city of Sherkas is the Longtuo Empire, which has been strong for tens of thousands of years, and to the east of Sherkas, there is the small Siamese kingdom that has long been subjugated to Longtuo.
As for the farther west side of Sherkas City, it is also the one closer to the center of the continent, which is also the true center of the former Mauryan Empire...... Today, the Peacock Kingdom still inherits the name of antiquity!
Coupled with Gupta to which the city of Sherkas belongs, the four kingdoms all converge in the same place.
So the city called Sherkas, naturally, was also a place where trade was extremely prosperous.
Caravans come and go from all over the world, and after trading goods here, they bring back to their own kingdoms the novelties they have purchased.
Countless horse-drawn carriages of Qi power shuttle like flowing water on the avenues of the city of Sherkas.
Among them, the wealthier large caravans, often the size of dozens of carriages, brought a huge flow of goods to the city of Sherkas.
And with the exchange of many money and wealthy businessmen, the entertainment industry in the city of Sherkas is naturally more developed and prosperous than people imagined.
And the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu themselves, in fact, are all countries that recognize the existence of slavery.
Therefore, in addition to the ordinary liquor shops and brothels, the more local pastimes in the city of Sherkas are the various arenas where slaves are used to fight.
Even among all the arenas in the city of Sherkas, if they were to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on, they would be in the first place...... But it must be the one that is well known!
The horror arena named after "Death" is the undisputed leader in the city of Sherkas.
Not only can they get terrifying beasts to fight, but they can even make those strong people who are official knights enter the competition at the cost of their reputation.
Although the knights are lords, they will naturally not be treated as slaves to fight.
But being able to see the knights fighting hard is undoubtedly a sensory stimulation that people can hardly enjoy except for the academy exchange conference.
......
"If I'm not mistaken, my brother should be hiding in the Death Arena!"
A group of luxury caravans that had just entered the city in the early morning did not hesitate to sail directly to the most expensive inn in the city of Sherkas, and decisively chartered a whole high-priced villa.
This luxury caravan, although not very low-key, even shows its magnanimity all the time.
But with countless groups of spies, both overt and covert, disappearing forever into the shadows behind the caravan, no matter what the forces are, they finally understand...... They really aren't the strong dragons that ordinary people can shake!
Merchants are actually the most inflammatory.
Therefore, after seeing the strength of this luxury caravan, the surrounding merchants naturally climbed up one after another, and even the Trade Covenant branch of Sherkas City sent people to send invitations to feast.
However, it was clear that the caravan did not mean to pay attention to anyone.
They just let out the news in the evening, sending people to ask if there are any good enough fights in the arena in the city lately, and if so, they will come and watch them in person.
For such a wealthy client, the arena is of course extremely enthusiastic.
After all, the main source of income for each arena is actually the gambling games that are opened at the time of fighting. The larger the amount of admission, the same high commission for the arena organizers.
Even some of the arenas themselves secretly sent people to suppress the unpopular slaves, and then successfully swallowed the large bets of the rich through the secret manipulation of the slaves.
However, with the news released by the rich merchants, the rest of the arena didn't even have time to reply, but the manager from a certain place had already personally visited the villa that the rich merchants had chartered.
And as long as this person has appeared, the rest of the arena will naturally no longer have any hope.
Because the manager ...... He is also the person in charge of the industry's leading death arena.
......
"If you're coming, we've got the best box ready tonight. And tonight's competitive event also includes a battle of middle-level knights, as well as a fight between a freshly captured delusional beast and a slave. ”
The person in charge of the arena stood outside the sand tent in the reception room in a formal manner, reporting the project that the arena was going to carry out tonight without squinting.
The owner behind this luxury caravan is said to be a woman from the imperial merchant Yang family.
Therefore, even if the other party was not willing to meet him in person, the owner of the arena did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction, and still lined up the highlights of the arena in an orderly manner.
When the other party heard this, it seemed that he was still satisfied with the principal's attitude after all.
With a gentle wave of his hand behind the curtain, he dispatched a female guardian who stepped out of the curtain to reply to their decision that they were bound to be there tonight.
The person in charge of the arena was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't stay long, and he had already respectfully retired.
However, with the departure of the arena master, the personal guard who had just emerged from the curtain to reply had already returned to the sand tent.
Then, with the same respect, and after saluting the two women behind him, he continued to speak:
"Your Highness, Your Excellency the Thirteenth Seat. According to the agreement between my brother and me before they separated, as long as he remains in the eyes of the people, he will definitely be discovered by the Imperial Guards. Instead, he simply joined the underground forces, which would be the only way to successfully avoid the imperial guards who would not go to entertainment at will in the dark nature of the underground forces themselves. ”
The speaker at this time was obviously Qin Wupian who had priority and converged with the receiver. And the two women in front of her are undoubtedly the princess of the empire, Su Tong, and the thirteenth seat of the academy, Lu Xi.
Regarding Su Mu who was trapped in the imperial capital, the three of them really had no extra ways to do it.
But fortunately, on the side of the Dark Bard, the news of Su Mu's temporary safety has also reached Lu Xi's ears through some rather secret channels.
Even the determination of the dark bards made even Lu Xi and Su Tong a little moved.
After all, things such as the Moon Seeing Poison and the Twilight Moon Grass were simply peerless and unique products with no price, not to mention that they had taken out so much at once, just so that Su Mu could safely escape from the Ancestral Dragon Temple.
Therefore, the problem in front of the three of them now is to give priority to finding Qin Invincible, who is hiding in many countries.
After all, the reason why Su Mu returned to the imperial capital was undoubtedly to rescue Qin Wuving.
Then, under the premise of being unable to care about Su Mu, it is natural that the priority goal is to confirm the safety of Qin Invincible.
"It's great if you can confirm it right away, but even if you confirm each other's identities, it's best not to have any level of direct contact. After all, according to the information we knew earlier, the Empire had already sent a dragoon to pursue him. Therefore, it is not a very wise choice to rashly let your brother leave the protection of the underground forces. ”
Regarding the message that Qin Wudi left for Qin Wuxian, Su Tong and Lu Xi certainly had nothing to doubt.
But the current situation is actually as Su Tong said.
The three of them are obviously not suitable for being too presumptuous in the Gupta country of the hostile federation, but it is the imperial side that has been friendly with Gupta since ancient times that they have the confidence to act recklessly.
"As soon as you can confirm it, I'll immediately arrange for someone else to answer it secretly. After that, we will join your brother on the borders of Gupta and continue directly to the territory of the Federation in the name of merchants through the Peacock Kingdom. ”
"Sherkas City is only a few dozen miles away from the border of the Peacock Kingdom. As long as we were able to evade the guards for a few hours, we would have completely disappeared from their surveillance. ”
When Su Tong said this, he looked at a rectangular thing wrapped in linen cloth at hand.
Then he said with a smile:
"Besides, with your brother's ability, he must have recovered from his injuries by now. And as long as we send Frost Destruction to him again, how can ordinary secret guards stop him? ”
"As for the Imperial Dragoons...... I've already made a plan to lure them away!"
