Chapter 09: Brotherhood (3)
Her long brown hair was unkempt and seemed to have not been tidied up in a long time. He was dirty from top to bottom, and the long shabby dress he was wearing looked like it was made of the worst linen. Like a beggar in the human world. The figure is unexpectedly good, and it doesn't look like a lack of training at all.
There were shackles on the hands, feet, and neck. The other end of the long chain was in the hands of the zombie soldiers behind him.
Unexpectedly, more zombie soldiers poured out from behind the girl. Yes, more. Not just shield men, but crossbowmen.
Jones was stunned.
With each push of the zombie soldier, the girl took a step forward, and the shackles on her body "clanged" non-stop. From time to time, he would look up at the rostrum where Adair and Jones were. His face was covered with dirt, and he couldn't see it clearly.
The rhinoceros-like monster on the opposite side is also moving forward step by step under the pull of the zombie soldiers. It roared in rage, trying to attack the zombie soldiers, however, being forced back by the spear each time.
Looking at the girl, Jones asked softly, "Is this a human?"
"Sort of. Adair touched his chin and said.
Jones's eyes widened, "You're going to have a human fight a monster?"
Looking at Jones's stunned appearance, Adair smiled: "Do you think Warcraft will win?"
"Isn't it?"
"This girl is the protagonist today. It was only the first game, and she was defeated. What are we going to play next?"
"The protagonist?" Jones said, puzzled.
Adair reached out and patted Jones on the shoulder: "Don't worry." Do you think I'm going to be able to arrange a party?"
As he spoke, Adair snapped his fingers slightly.
All of a sudden, the noise of the huge chains spread throughout the arena.
Jones saw that in the corner, a large group of zombie soldiers were struggling to pull the gears, and a huge iron cage was hung down from above, enveloping the girl and the monster in the cage together. The railings, each one thicker than Jones's thighs. Unless he turned into a bat and squeezed out, it was Jones, and he didn't have the confidence to escape from such a cage.
Immediately afterwards, the weak Blood, named Connell Bruch, stood up, walked over to the fence, and said something in a language Jones did not understand. Suddenly, the girl looked at Connell and began a conversation with him in the same language.
"What language is this?"
"Barbarian language. ”
"Barbarian language?" Jones suddenly remembered that when he was introduced, Adair said that the Connell family was engaged in the orc slave trade: "This girl, is it an orc?"
"No, she's human. But there are many kinds of human beings, but there is only one common one. And this one, is not common. Adair replied with a smirk.
Soon, the girl turned and walked to the fence.
As soon as Kang Nai waved his hand, several zombie soldiers immediately surrounded him and helped the girl untie the shackles on her body through the cage.
After all the shackles were untied, the girl moved her muscles and looked at the monster that was still roaring and bound by chains on the other side.
Adair watched intently, and softly uttered a spell.
All of a sudden, the induction ring on the demonic beast received the induction, and with a "click", all the chains were untied and fell to the ground.
"Start ——!," Adair shouted.
The girl looked at the beast silently.
The beast that had broken free was still roaring angrily, and even began to pound the cage. However, it soon found itself helpless against the zombie soldiers outside the cage who had just restrained itself. So, it turned its attention to the girl who was trapped in a cage like it.
The girl still looked at it quietly, expressionlessly.
The entire arena was silent, except for the heavy gasps of demonic beasts.
With heavy steps, the monster walked to the farthest position from the girl, and then turned around and began to sprint, rushing towards the girl.
Jones froze, his eyes widening.
Don't talk about biting, with the size of a Warcraft, a bump is enough to kill a human.
However, just as the monster was about to push its horns against the girl, the girl suddenly lowered her body slightly. Immediately after, the unthinkable happened.
The girl's body began to grow, and her muscles began to expand, which was the kind of sudden expansion, and in just a moment, it doubled in size. The clothes on his body were bursting.
A roar, a beast-like roar. The girl didn't dodge or dodge, she directly moved forward with her hands, and stubbornly resisted the flying demonic beast. The stone bricks under his feet were cracked.
Immediately, the members of the fraternity applauded. Connell, a slave contributor, smirked.
Jones froze.
A moment ago, he saw a demonic beast crashing into a weak girl, but now, in the scene in front of him, it was two fierce beasts wrestling.
The girl had completely transformed into a humanoid beast, and the muscles of her body looked extremely strong and muscular, covered with brown hair, and a tail had grown from her back, and her body had more than doubled in size.
"It's ...... Werewolves?" Jones asked, his eyes wide.
"Yes, werewolves, our bloodline's former mortal enemies. Adair grinned and said, "This is a gift from Cornay's father who managed to get it back from the north. A werewolf gladiator. How, isn't it interesting. ”
A low roar came.
Turning his face sideways, Jones saw that the werewolf began to retreat little by little, and it looked like he was about to be cornered.
"The size is so bad that it's unrealistic to want to win by strength alone. Jones muttered to himself.
"Don't worry, she's going to win. I don't know how to win, but I can definitely win. Adair on the side said.
Sure enough, just as he was about to be pressed into a corner, the werewolf staggered and flipped to the side. The monster hit the cage solidly.
A "bang" sounded throughout the arena. The cage is not damaged, but just by listening to the sound, you can know how strong it is.
Kang Nai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed hesitantly, a little wooden.
The battle continues.
The monster seemed to be stunned and shook its head violently. The werewolf had already climbed onto its back at great speed, raising a hand high. In the firelight, Jones could clearly see the shiny nails sticking out of his five fingers.
With another low roar, the werewolf grabbed directly at the demonic beast's cracked back.
Jones' eyes widened.
The pain came, and the monster became even crazier than the other man, rampaging through the cage like a wild horse. The werewolf was clung to its back.
A layer of skin was deducted from the place where the werewolf started, but unfortunately the skin of the monster was so thick that even blood could not be seen. The two sides suddenly reached a stalemate. The entire arena was filled with the roar of demonic fury.
Adair laughed.
Jones looked over at him.
Finding Jones looking at herself, Adair was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Don't you often watch competitions?"
"It's the first time. Jones replied.
"Oh, I see. Then I don't mind giving you a briefing. Adair said with great interest, "I've seen werewolf fighting a few times. Like the move just now, climbing on the back of the monster and attacking the spine bone, that is the standard combat method of werewolves. Against huge monsters, they usually do this. If you succeed in one blow, your opponent is basically useless. So, for the first opponent, I chose a magical beast with a particularly thick skin for her. You know, if it's over too soon, it's not fun. ”
Turning his face sideways, Jones continued to look at the field.
Monsters with rough skin and thick flesh mean that werewolves can't win easily. The strong strength and limited space seriously restrict the play of werewolves. As a result, this "game" became extremely bloody. It was so bloody that Dora, who was standing next to Jones, didn't dare to look any further.
The werewolf dodged back and forth, luring the monster to attack, and then took the opportunity to attack. Blow after blow, it gripped at the beast's body, as if it was about to scrape off an entire layer of skin. However, the vitality of this demonic beast is still very tenacious. The bleeding did not bring it to its knees, it made it more irritable.
The battle lasted more than an hour. In the end, the whole field was covered with blood, and the internal organs of the ground. The werewolf can almost be said to have plunged into the flesh and blood of the demonic beast, constantly digging into it. Eventually, the whole heart was dug out and held high, and the battle was over.
Every hair on that body was dripping with the blood of the monster. Of course, there is also her own. She was also injured, and not lightly.
There are a lot of battles on the battlefield, but such a bloody scene is just when Gray summons the bones from the flesh and blood. Dora's face next to her was already a little ugly, but the members of the Brotherhood seemed to be used to it, and applauded symbolically.
Amid sparse applause, the cage was pulled up by chains, and a group of zombie soldiers rushed forward and dragged away the corpse of the monster and the remains of the corpse. Of course, the blood will certainly not be able to be washed away for the time being.
The werewolf gasped heavily. Looking at Adair, then at Connell, he held out a finger.
Connell nodded at her.
"What does that mean?" Jones asked.
"I don't know. Looking at Connell, Adair asked in a loud voice, "Hey, what does a finger mean?"
Connell smiled and replied, "She defeated the first opponent." ”
"Really, for the first time, I've met a slave who counts how many opponents he's defeated. ”
"Hmm...... This one is a bit special. I just told her that as long as she defeats three enemies, I'll set her free. ”
"Did I promise to set her free?"
"I lied to her, otherwise she wouldn't cooperate. Like just now, as soon as the cage is pulled up, she may just run away. We're going to have a lot more trouble. ”
"I see. Adair sighed.
Several of the fraternity members laughed. The same is true for the two women, except that when they smile, they hide their lips.
I don't know why, but in the midst of laughter, Jones suddenly said, "Is this good?"
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned and looked at Jones.
"I mean, lie to her, break your promises, okay?"
"It's just a werewolf. Adair said.
Jones replied casually, "A few months ago, humans also said that my adoptive father was just a lich, and I was just a bloodline. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Adair quietly.
The atmosphere was a little stiff. Everyone looked at Jones in silence.
Adair turned his face away and looked at the center of the field, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he suddenly laughed again: "Okay, today's protagonist is Jones, we listen to Jones." If she can really win three games, she will keep her promise. ”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. A blood clan butler who was guarding the side hurriedly walked over: "Young master." ”
"Did you hear it all?"
"I hear you. ”
"Three, just the first. Let her not have a chance to ask Connell to make good on his promise. ”
"Understood, young master. Turning around, the Bloodline Butler left.
"Just three times, and I don't want her to have a chance to make good on her promise. Now the suspense is big. Adair looked around and smiled: "Today I am the banker, you can bet at will." The odds are 1:1!"
All of a sudden, the fraternity members present laughed again.
Jones stared at the smiling Adair and didn't take a deep breath.
Dora, who was on the side, carefully tugged at his sleeve and shook her head gently at Jones.
Jones looked at her silently, and continued to look at the center of the field with a blank expression. But my heart couldn't help but roll.
If Gray was here, he would probably be mad. No, Gray wouldn't have been here at all, and there was no way he would have accepted such an invitation.
It's ridiculous that Jones can sit here precisely because of Gray.
Jones blinked dumbfounded, his little fists clenched and clenched.
The opponent of the second game was soon on the field, and it was an ogre.
The head, five meters long, was covered in green skin and strong muscles. And, of course, the huge fangs. If you stand upright, you won't be able to pass through the iron doors on both sides below.
He came in lying down. He was placed on a cart with chains strapped all over his body. Beside him was a wooden mace designed to fit his physique.
Soon, the cart was pushed under the cage. The screech sounded again, and the cage was lowered once more, enveloping the werewolf with the ogre.
"Everybody sees what she's capable of? this is her second opponent! an ogre!" Adair stood up and said in a loud voice, "Now you can start betting." First of all, although I said that there are three in total, there are not necessarily three. Maybe only two. Actually, I was going to play her five fights at the beginning, and this is her penultimate opponent. Therefore, it is best to think carefully when placing your bets. ”
The members of the Brotherhood whispered, and slips of paper with bets were sent to Adair.
Jones glanced at it quietly, and those amounts were at least more than five thousand gold coins.
Adair looked at the note and said with a smile, "Are you so small? Not to mention anything else, this werewolf alone is worth 30,000 gold coins." Even if I win you all, it won't be enough to cover the losses. ”
The black-haired girl named Belle Rizzo smiled and said, "Isn't there still Jones? ”
"yes, and Jones. Adair smiled and looked at Jones: "Well, who do you bet on? How much do you bet on? What you lose today is mine." Win, it's all yours. ”
After a slight hesitation, Jones whispered, "I'll bet on the ogre to win, 10 million gold coins." ”
Adair's expression froze visibly.
The other bloodlines were also stunned.
What is the concept of 10 million gold coins?
