The Ponsa Arena in Port Snell is one of the oldest of the many historic buildings in the harbour. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Snell Harbour was a naval fortress, the Ponsar Arena was already standing here. In the 2nd century of the Sacred Era, King Ponsar I, known as the "Crimson Glory", sent troops to conquer many of the Gaolu tribes in the north of Doland, and when he returned to his army, he was stationed here and built a huge arena to boost morale. There is a "Ponsa Tower" more than 50 meters high in the field, and when the game starts, the bigwigs in the army can overlook the top of the high tower and enjoy themselves.

The original arena was an army academy where warriors competed in martial arts. After the defeat of Gaolu, he successively entered the slave gladiatorial fight, and later, he further added wonderful events such as human-animal fighting, and each competition, not only the soldiers, but also the nearby residents flocked to it, and had to build a wooden wall on the perimeter of the oval-shaped open field, and collect fees from the visitors.

Later, the arena became more and more popular, and the area of the arena expanded from more than 1,000 square meters to about 13,000 square meters now. The fence has also been transformed into a wide stone wall more than 30 meters high, and a seating area for spectators has been added. At its peak, it received 60,000 visitors a day, bringing a lot of money to Port Snell.

Later, with the rise of the southern port, Port Snell declined, and the Ponsa Arena was in dilapidation. It wasn't until thirty years ago that the navigator Granb discovered the route to the New World, and the northern port was revived, and the Kingdom of Dorland decisively decided to rebuild the aging port of Snell into the largest shipping center and free trade port in the north of the kingdom.

More than 1,400 years have passed, and the arena has been playing out scenes of joys and sorrows year after year, but the top of the Tower of Ponsar is always filled with the laughter and laughter of dignitaries.

When the Black Death was raging, the dignitaries laughed and used special heavy crossbows to aim at the wolf-rushing "demons" below, shooting them one by one, watching their crazy expressions, as if they were fascinated.

During the witch hunting campaign, the dignitaries laughed and used a special True Vision Circle to evaluate the figures of the bound "witches", and spent a lot of money to bet on which of the two witches had a higher blood splatter.

During the cult movement, the dignitaries laughed, sipped scarlet wine, sipped snow-white and fluffy white bread, and watched as the "heretics" who preached that the earth was spherical shouted at the stake, eventually turning into piles of ashes, and then chanted in unison the greatness of the god of light.

Today, they were once again laughing and laughing, because the culprit who had destroyed the prosperity and stability of Port Snell four days ago was going to be cleared of his sins with blood under the guillotine.

Now, sitting at the top of the tower, the high Ponsar Tower, are Hickstu, the Holy Envoy of the Imperial Capital, George, an eighth-level alchemist, and Riley, his newly recruited civilian assistant, Richard Mannon, the second son of the president of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, Christian, the son of the chief priest of the Snell Sanctuary, Tax, the son of the director of the Port Snell Tax Department, and Servius Sturius, the son of the president of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and the Hilton St. Kincora - simply Jinkora.

Of these, Hixtu was the highest envoy of the imperial capital, Christian represented the native religious forces of Port Snell, and Taks represented the town hall.

Richard McFarmer and Kingcola are representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and the two were originally not dealing with each other, but now the Drake Chamber of Commerce has admitted and recognized Hamilton's status as the boss, the silly Kingwala is also deferential, and Richard McNon is also happy to put on a generous appearance.

Among the people, only George and Riley are from civilian backgrounds, but George's level is too high, and even if the king sees him, he must treat him politely, which is enough to make all the dignitaries put away their contempt for him. Only Hickstu could stand up to him.

All of them are in their twenties, and with the exception of Hickstu, although each Lao Tzu is more bullish and detached, he has no real job himself - no matter what is said or decided, he can cope with the past with the ignorance of children.

Hickstu was the first to speak: "Mr. George, I just arrived here four days ago, and I encountered a heresy raid before I could have adjusted my state, if it weren't for Ling Zun and you fighting bravely, the loss of the port would only be greater, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you, after returning to the imperial capital, I will definitely truthfully report to the Great Holy Hall about Ling Zun and your exploits - how is Ling Zun's health?"

George nodded in acknowledgment, "Thank you for your concern." My father was seriously injured and wanted to recover completely, at least six months, or at most three or five years. ”

The crowd quietly exchanged glances.

There is no doubt that the older the alchemist is, the more experienced he becomes, but the older he gets, the more accurate his operations and divergent thinking will suffer. Nicholas is over 70 years old this year, and he will recuperate for another three or five years, and when he is cured, it is time to go into hiding. But this kind of thing can't be put on the face, even if Nicholas is not there, George's real eighth-level is also a real golden signboard, and the glory of Iron Tooth Village will continue.

There was a fake sigh at the moment, George thanked him lukewarmly with a faint smile, and continued: "I heard that the culprit will be publicly executed today, Rodriguez is dead, and the culprit is ......"

Hicks nodded reservedly to Tuckers.

Tuckers cleared his throat and said, "You may not know that about a week ago, there was a robbery at the docks, two dangerous elements attempted to violate the legitimate property of citizens by dangerous methods, and after a fierce battle, one dangerous person was killed on the spot and the other was arrested. ”

George said: "What does this matter have to do with the current 'culprit'?"

Tuques continued: "The dangerous man who was arrested was named Carol, twenty-two years old, and was Rodriguez's mistress. ”

Riley stopped on the spot: "How is it possible? Rodriguez has to be in his seventies this year, right? Mistress?"

George said lightly: "Alchemist, perhaps, Rodriguez may have some secret arts—Mr. Tuckers, please continue." ”

"Well, as it happens, she was caught by two acquaintances. It took a lot of effort to catch her. ”

"Oh?"

"Guardians of the Twin Shield Fortress, Warhammer hero Darker and warrior Royce. ”

Riley chuckled inwardly. George, however, remained calm: "Oh, I see. Did the interrogation reveal any clues?"

Tuckers shook a finger: "As a mistress, I naturally know many secrets of Rodriguez. Due to the need for secrecy, Rodriguez has been authorized to be held by the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and Carol's attempt is to try to break Rodriguez's ban and cover his escape!"

"Well, but, again, how did she become the 'culprit'?"

"She infiltrated the Drake Chamber of Commerce, disguised herself as a mage of the Chamber of Commerce, and stole twelve boxes of earth crystal ore from the warehouse of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, stirring up conflicts between the two chambers of commerce. Then he took the opportunity to transfer the ore to the secret prison of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and took advantage of the Chamber of Commerce to kill each other, unlocking Rodriguez's ban and causing the innocent people of the port to suffer terribly...... Fortunately, although Rodriguez is dead, this poisonous woman has been caught!"

George suddenly realized "oh", "I see, this poisonous woman, she was caught twice! The first time she was caught, she escaped and released Rodriguez, and then she was caught again, isn't that so?"

"Ah, this ......"

Richard McNon rushed to the rescue: "Later we learned that the first time we caught it was just a stand-in. ”

"I see. ”

Riley is in a hurry, what is this, can you still have the face to "I see" this kind of flawed lie?

George pretended not to see her eyes, and continued to calm down: "The stand-in is in prison, and the real body will transfer the ore to the fifth underground floor of the Drake Chamber of Commerce for Rodriguez to use?"

The two nodded together: "Exactly, exactly!"

Hickstu's face on the side became ugly.

George laughed and said, "Two, have you ever seen the size of the earth crystal ore? If it is shipped in a standard wooden box, a four-wheeled van cart drawn by two horses can be loaded with a maximum of four boxes. In other words, the poisonous woman swaggered into a troika, pulled twelve boxes of ore, and unknowingly transported it to the negative fifth floor of the Drake Chamber of Commerce?"

"Ah, this ......"

George got up with his hands in his hands, walked to the window, looked at the crowd surging below, and sighed softly.
