Not long after the deal was completed, the Dhara servants under the prince of Bihar brought gold. Camilla placed six hypnotized saber-toothed tigers in cages, and the Dhara's servants dragged them away with elephants.

On the third day of the Ganesh Festival, Camilla once again came to the Bronze Arena. She had heard that her patron was already planning to bring her new beast into the field to salvage a little reputation.

On the day of the Colosseum, Camila again dressed up in disguise, wearing a fake beard and a tacky bright yellow coat. She spent a small amount of money to buy a good seat, avoided the betting booths, and ended up sitting in a fur chair.

"The third game is about to begin!" shouted the announcer. "May the heavens bless their chosen warriors and let the creation of the Calamity Star haunt the doom!"

The servants cleaned up the wreckage left over from the last beast fight, "a male lizard from Jharkhand, nine months old and weighing fourteen loads. It competed once and won once. The crowd around Camilla began to cheer, waving their hands wildly – just as the Great Druid had expected.

In the Colosseum under the auditorium, a gate painted with golden-green enamel rises upward. Camila intensified her vision and saw the lizard lion crawling forward at a rapid pace—a ten-foot-long, green-scaled reptile with a whip tail twice as long as its torso, and a head like a Komodo dragon. Its large, salivating mouth opened and closed silently, revealing a mouthful of monstrous fangs.

"A male ruined tiger from Bihar—" the announcer paused, "three days? He finally continued, "Twenty-three pounds, the first time to participate in the competition." The golden dome above buzzed amid the jumble cheers of Bihar's supporters. The thin prince entered the room, surrounded by servants, and he did not recognize Camilla, and went to the betting booth to pay himself a lot of money.

The Bladetooth Tiger slowly stepped out of the darkness with its cautious grace, scanning the arena with its large golden eyes. It was the same as Camilla's promise - it had deadly knotted muscles and an astonishing degree, and its dark gray fur was covered with blue stripes. Its roar was barely audible at such a distance, but Camila's enhanced vision allowed her to see its gaping mouth.

The lion saw it too, and swayed its body to meet it, its stubby, scaly legs and feet kicking the sand, its impossibly long tail arched in the air, like some kind of reptilian scorpion's stinger. As the bright eyes of the Bladetooth Tiger turned to its foe, the lion flicked its tail down, and with a loud thud that broke through the air, the long whip seemed to hit something. The ruined miè blade-toothed tiger had already flashed to the side with quick movements, and all that was shattered was the air and sand.

The tiger surrounded his opponent and roared in unison. The lion turned around reluctantly, raised its tail again, opened its jaw, and rushed over. The ruined tiger dodged the sharp teeth and avoided the whip tail. There was a crunch again, then another - but the tiger was too fast. Some of the audience shouted passionately, and others echoed the voice. Kamila glanced around the arena and saw Bihar's supporters commotion. The lion's jaws opened and closed frantically, smashing its tail towards the nearest entrance, whipped incessantly.

Sensing the flaw, the Bladetoothed Tiger leaped gracefully, leaped behind the enemy, and clasped the struggling lion with a huge gray claw, tearing its soft green flanks and belly apart. After a while—during which several flicks from the whiptail were only a distraction from the tiger—the lion lay still.

The cheers of the people of Bihar were particularly loud. Camilla—the delicate face of the Starch Spencer Druid, hidden behind a fake beard and mask—got up from her fur seat and left.

A few days later, Camilla remained in her stolen temple, and Camilla carefully studied the results of the Bronze Arena, where the Bihar destroyers were now victorious. Tong Guò kept betting, and the thin prince made enough money, and his state was honored for it.

Just then, the Grand Druid waited for the visitor she had expected.

The man rode in a sedan chair painted green and red, and wore muscular gilded scale armor. Unlike the prince of Bihar, the prince of Manipur has a ruddy face and an obese body. He wears a white bun decorated with a peacock feather, and a turban hides his bald head.

When Camilla saw such an obese man for the first time, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times. The fat prince seemed to notice the Great Druid's gaze, looked at his belly, and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I've got a big belly, haven't I? I've been drinking for the past few days, and the wine is about to come out of my navel. ”

"Salute to your country, to your Tene. "Camilla didn't do anything that might reveal her disguise. "Your figure is not what I care about, but the meaning of your visit. ”

The prince gave his name and began to explain his intentions. "On behalf of the good people of Manipur, I have come here to seek the assistance of the beast master. I've heard that the Beastmaster's messenger has appeared in this temple, and that's true, isn't it, my lord?"

"I am the messenger of Rudra. Camila admitted. "So, you're here as a representative of Manipur to buy monsters. I must admit that I was not unprepared for such a development. ”

The fat prince's mouth opened in a circle.

"Tell your servants to wait outside. Camila ordered. "Let's talk privately. ”

The two went side by side to another room. "You have heard about me from the people of Bihar. Camila said. "It's obvious. ”

The two of them crossed their legs diagonally in the room, and the fat prince grinned. "That's true. We persuaded a Dhara servant of Bihar to reveal the origin of the ruined miè sabertooth tiger. I'm glad that your Excellency is still staying at this temple, and I'm sure you're sure it's a lot of fun, right?"

"It's not the point of being funny," Camila said. "As long as there is a problem, no matter how big or small, I am interested in paying attention. ”

"There are a lot of problems with the Ganesh festival at the moment, for example, the current predicament of you and the state. Manipur is now probably at the bottom of the list of northern states. Someone more critical than me might say that your lion is the worst and patheticest monster. I understand that most of your territory is swampy, so your choice of fighting beasts is somewhat limited. Is my prophecy of your plight correct? ”

"Whew. Yes, it does. You guessed me completely, sir. You're quite right. We used to be able to hold on, knowing your involvement. Since then, oh, we haven't been able to win a game against the Bihars, who used to be our main source of victories. A couple of paltry victories over Haryana and Assam, a narrow victory over Nagaram, and two double-dead finishes against Mizoram and Sizi. That's all we have for good luck at this Ganesh festival. We can't live anymore, and Manipur's name is now despised. If we don't do anything about it, they'll treat me like a dhara beggar and throw me back home. ”

Camila listened sarcastically to the other party's statement as she raised a hand to signal the other party to be quiet. "There's no need to babble about it. I have noticed your misfortune. Now, we don't have to waste precious time...... I can solve your current problem. ”

The fat prince grinned again, "I came prepared. I've heard that your price is very high, no doubt about it, but we are ready for a gratuity, as long as you ......"

"The beast lord Loudra has always been kind and generous. Camila said. "Bihar is a poor princely state, and the Kshatriyas are simply beggars. Out of sympathy, I offered them a low price. But Manipur's territory is bigger and richer, the flag is brighter, and your victories will be spread far and wide. To you, I offer three hundred thousand gold coins to make up for the shortfall I have caused when I showed my generosity to the Bihars. ”

The fat prince let out a cry of surprise, and his scales clanged as he stood up. "It's too expensive, it's too expensive!" he protested. "I plead with you. It is true that we are more prominent than the Bihars, but we are by no means as rich as you think. To pay such an honorarium, we will starve. The lizards will escape from our pens, and our cities will lose their pillars and begin to sink until the swamp silt will drown them and the children will drown. ”

"In that case," Camilla said. "I am disturbed to think that I am responsible for all this suffering. Perhaps the price of 250,000 gold coins is more reasonable. ”

The fat prince began to protest and plead again, but this time Camilla remained silent, putting her hands on her knees until the other party was sweating profusely and blushing, and finally agreed to the offer of the Great Druid.

Camila clapped her hands and summoned another monster that she had created.

It was a muscular lizard, more than six feet tall, covered in gray-green scales, and limbs as thick as tree stumps. Its head was enormous, with thick yellow bone slices protruding forward like the ramming horns of a warship, and two long, curved horns above its skull. The creature had a stubby neck, dark yellow eyes peeking out from under the protruding brow bone, and between the eyes, in the middle of the skull, a large black round hole was sinking deep into the thick skull.

The fat prince swallowed, "Oh. He said, "Good." Uh, very big. But it looks—somewhere in the middle was it wasn't its third horn in the first place? It seems to give, uh, gone? I want a monster that is perfect. My lord. ”

Camila laughed and snapped her fingers. The tendons in the creature's thick neck began to swell, and a sharp bone—as thick as a child's forearm, nearly three feet long—pierced out of the beast's head with an indiscernible degree. The fat prince let out a hollow scream, as if he saw that he had been impaled through his body by the bone spear. The lower end of his robe was wet, and a foul smell filled the room.

Camilla, with unimaginable strength and strength, grabbed the bone spear in the air and saved the fat prince's life.

"Let's call this bone spur. Camila said. "Wrapped in a layer of slime around the upper and back of the creature's neck, the musculature around it can shoot it at the caliber of a giant crossbow. And it doesn't take long for it to grow new bone spurs. The habitat of this thing is not without similarities to your territory. ”

"Great! what's it called?" the fat prince seemed to have recovered, and deliberately used an exaggerated tone to cover up his previous gaffe.

"There is no name, because no mortal has ever seen it to name it, so far. ”

"Well, I think about it, why don't you call it a stinging snake, it's a domineering name. ”

"Call it whatever you want. Camila said. "I don't care. However, in order to feed it, you need something called a tree slug for feed. I offer ...... for free"

Camilla kept an eye on the news from the arena as the Razor-Toothed Tiger continued to sweep away the opponent in front of him, and the latest news was that Bihar's fighting beast had single-handedly killed an Olisaler-necked ape and an Assam snow leopard in a three-way dogfight.

Manipur's fortunes are also on the rise, with their newly introduced stinging snake causing a stir in the arena with its low roar, heavy stride, deadly bone spurs and ensuing sudden death. In the three matches so far, a Nagaran Behemoth, a giant scorpion, and a swamp hunting cat have all proven unable to take on the Stinging Snake. The fat prince went crazy with joy.

On the second Sunday of the Ganesh Festival, the Destroyer and the Stinging Snake will face off, and as you can imagine, the arena will be full.

The Skinny Prince approached Camilla once, on the day the Stingers won their first game. "Your Excellency the Messenger of Rudra!" he said sternly. "You sold a monster to the Manipurians without my approval!"

"I didn't think I needed your approval. Camila said. God's will has always been unfathomable and unbound. You'd better remember that, Kshatriya!"

"Okay, okay. The Thin Prince snapped. "But we don't want to be deceived, do you hear?"

"I'm very concerned about whether my deal is fair or not. The Great Druid said. "Did you ever insist that I could only sell you monsters? Perhaps we discussed the possibility, and as far as I can remember, you didn't propose anything at all. Obviously, unless the price is right, I am unlikely to give the Bihars exclusive treatment. Because doing so will undoubtedly cause the beast master to lose a considerable amount of income. In any case, it doesn't make sense to say that. Because the deal between me and the Manipuris has already been completed, it would be very unethical to cancel the deal, let alone the possibility of success. ”

"I don't like that, Camilla. The Skinny Prince said.

"Your affection is not within the scope of my consideration. Camila said. "Your own monster table xiàn as expected. If you hold a grudge just because there are other nations that share the good fortune of Bihar, it will be too unworthy. ”

"Yes, no, no—forget it, I can't stop you anyway. The prince said. "If you sell some new monster to another country, you have to promise to give us something to defeat it. Got it?"

"If you have money, you can do it. Camila said. Is that why you're coming to me?"

"Well, there's actually another reason. The Skinny Prince said. "We're going well in the arena. But there was a problem somewhere else. ”

"What's that?"

"You ruined tigers, they won't mate. This is a worrying situation. The Skinny Prince said.

"There is no doubt that their mating season will come. It is the nature of life that all living creatures mate. I advise you to be patient, and when the ruined miè blade-toothed tiger enters the estrus period, the progress will be accelerated. Camila clasped her fingers together and said.

"Well, that makes sense. The Thin Prince said. "It's just a matter of time, I guess. But I have another question, which is about your one-legged beasts. You know, we keep them in the wild. And they are too much in terms of reproduction. In a few days, they multiplied and gnawed the historic Bihar grassland like a carpet. They were jumping around everywhere, and we didn't even have a place to herd our sheep. What should we do?"

"When the saber-toothed tiger starts to breed, the problem will naturally disappear. Camila said. "The Razor-toothed Tiger is a voracious and efficient predator, best suited to dealing with the overrun one-legged beast. ”

The Thin Prince looked confused and worried. "Yes, yes. He said. "......"

"You should go, Kshatriya!" said Kamila. "I could feel that other guests were coming. Maybe you know them, they wear blue robes and gray belts. ”

"Rajasthanes!"

"That's right. Camila said. "Goodbye!"

The Rajasthani emissary paid 300,000 gold coins for the monster, a giant bear with white stripes, and Camilla celebrated the deal by giving it a nest of eggs from a scurrying otter.

A few days later, as the festival of Ganesh was getting to its best, four men dressed in orange silk and fiery red cloaks visited the temple of Rudra. They brought back a debt of 350,000 gold coins to Nagarambang, six giant armored poison elk, and a two-headed sheep given to them by Camilla.

Haryana's animal trainers received a giant viper, the prince of Mizoram was pleased with his new dinosaur, and twelve Sizi elders, dressed in cream-white robes adorned with precious stones, raved about the salivating, eye-popping hounds that Camilla had offered.

In this way, the representatives of the Uttar Pradesh took turns to visit, and they were respectively rewarded with the monsters who could win honor at the Ganesh Festival, and they were also paid a high price.

Bihar's ruined miè blade-toothed tiger has died twice, the first being pierced by the bone spurs of the Manipur serpent, and the second being shattered by the paws of the Rajasthani brindled bear. The bear was also unlucky, and was poisoned by the armored poison elk of Nagarambang in the second game.

The Skinny Prince asked to see him three times in one day, but Camilla turned him down.

Finally, when all the other states bought Camilla's monster later. The Grand Druid welcomed the Prince of Orissa, the oldest and noblest of the states of Orissa, once the greatest and proudest state in the North. Their fighting beasts always win back numerous accolades at the once-in-a-decade Ganesh Festival. But now, the Olisa are at the bottom.

The prince of Orissa was very tall, nearly eight feet. He was muscular, his skin was the color of solid ebony, his face was like an axe with a hooked nose, and his hair was short of iron gray. His eyes are pure white and no pupils can be seen. This is a sign of celestial bloodline.

The prince was dressed in gold with a crimson sash and a red turban. This is a brahmin.

Camilla watched in silence as Prince Orissa came over and sat down, "Salute your state, salute your Terne." She said.

The prince spoke. "The reason why the oldest and noblest state of Olissa is so strong and has the upper hand at every Ganish festival is that our policies have always been flexible. ”

"When the other states of Mistara have pinned their fate on a beast. Our ancestors have already raced with dozens of beasts. We always have the most appropriate options and the most appropriate strategies for dealing with those animals in other states. This was our strength and pride. But we can't fight your demonic beasts, messengers, and no matter which of the hundreds of fighting beasts we choose, they will die. You forced us to do business!"

"I have to object. Camila said. "I am just the messenger of the beast master, and the great god Rudra has no intention of interfering in secular politics. How can I force Mistara to do what the most powerful state does not want to do? If you don't need my services, trust me, I won't be upset in the slightest. We can recite the Sanskrit Sutras together and leave them behind. ”

"Don't play games for me!messenger!" snapped the prince of Orissa. "I'm here to talk about business, I don't want to be with you!"

Camila blinked. "Then I'll cut it short. She said in a calm tone. "I'm not going to drive away any patron, no matter what he thinks of me. Feel free to ask for it, I have a lot of monsters for you to choose from. I believe that fate will eventually give you back the initiative. ”

Camila introduces the monsters she has to offer, all sorts of creatures with fur, scales, and armor. From hills, jungles, lakes and deserts. A variety of predators, carrioners, and deadly herbivores.

The prince of Orissa pursed his lips and finally chose four monsters for a million gold coins.

The deal, which, like all other deals, included a few small, harmless animals, did not make the prince of Orissa any kinder. "Messenger. He said. "You are cunning, but you will never fool me. ”

Camila didn't say anything.

"You've made a huge fortune, and you've deceived all those who buy monsters from you in the hope of profiting from them. They're a poor country, and your price is overwhelming, just like you did to all of us. They want to make up for their losses with victory, phew! Now the Bihars don't want to win anymore! Every state that comes to you will have an advantage over the previous buyer. Therefore, Olisa, as the buyer of last resort, will still maintain the highest position. The sand of the Bronze Arena will be stained red with the blood of the weak monsters, just as the monsters of the Calamity were slaughtered by the armies of the heavens!"

Camila looked calm.

"You haven't changed anything! The mighty states are still strong! Orissa is the strongest, and Bihar is the weakest! What you have done is nothing but draining our blood and sweat, and forcing the kings of each state to live a life of scarcity. The karma you have committed will eventually lead to retribution, even if you are the messenger of Rudra!"

"Olisa's opponent will now be waiting for victory, praying for victory, hoping for victory. But all the victories will go to Olisa, and we will come last, so buy the best!"

"You deserve a commendable vision for your foresight. Camila said. "Obviously, no matter how much I try to justify it, I can't change your opinion. You are so respectful and cautious, you will undoubtedly not fall into my trap. ”

"Of course I won't fall into your trap!" the prince of Olisa declared arrogantly. "You don't have to say anything, this will be your last business!"

"Maybe, maybe not. Camila said. "Maybe there will be a situation where representatives of other states come to me again to make deals, and I won't be able to drive them away. ”

"You can't do that!" said the prince of Orissa coldly. "Olisa made one last deal with you, and no one can beat us. From now on, you are forbidden to do this business again. I guess the stupid Bihar can't afford your asking price, and you can't sell him even if he borrows enough money from somewhere, you see?"

"We're not going to be fooled around by your tricks anymore, we're not going to cut back on your monsters, lose them, buy more, and end up empty-handed. I'm sure you'll keep selling, knowing how to drain the coffers of every state, but Olisa forbids you to do that! Ignore this warning, and the heavens will add karma to the way it works, and you will pay the price!"

"The way you express it is not pleasing to me. Camila said. "Such a strong arrangement would benefit Orissa, but it would cost me a considerable profit. Why am I doing this?

"Damn! I've got another million gold coins ready!" the prince of Orissa glared at the Grand Druid. "Honestly, I'd rather shove this down your throat. At the end of the day, it's less expensive than continuing to play with you for a single round. ”

"I see what you mean. Camila said. "Take this million gold coins as compensation for not doing business anymore, right? I have to say, this is a good condition, I am not the kind of person who knows that I am not popular, but still does not leave...... Okay, I promise you, I'm willing to swear. ”

The prince of Olisa grinned wickedly, and at the end his servants carried away the monster he had bought. Camilla also informed the Templars, disguised as monks, that they were ready to leave. The plan was completed, and the Mistara people dug their own graves.

Before a qiē was ready, the Grand Druid was about to report back to the Primordial Warlock. Once again, the skinny prince of Bihar came to the door and asked for an audience, and Camilla received him.

The Skinny Prince was already skinny at this time. "O O Lord Rudra!" he shouted. "It's all over!"

"Definitely. Camila said indifferently.

The prince's facial features were huddled. "No, listen. The ruined miè blade-toothed tiger is all dead, all sick. Four died in the arena, and the remaining two were too small and were to be used for breeding...... But they don't want to breed at all! We need more saber-toothed tigers, otherwise what are we going to do in the fight?"

"It's not mating season yet," Camila said. "I've told you that, if you remember. ”

"Yes, yes, but when is their mating season?"

"Very interesting question, it's a shame you didn't ask me sooner. Camila said. "Destroy miè sabertooth tiger...... Actually, I didn't emerge from the sea of milk, but an ancient beast of origin on a planet closest to here, strengthened by me with my druid abilities. As far as I can understand, the female destroyer is in love every spring when the sand date palm trees on that desert planet bloom. I think it touches on some kind of physiology in it. ”

The thin prince grabbed his scalp, "But," he said. "But Mistara doesn't have the date palm trees you mentioned, what are you going to do? I guess you're going to get me to pay for them, aren't you?!"

Camila shrugged. "You think I'm too greedy for money, I'm happy to give you the sand date palm tree for free. It is a pity that not long ago I swore to the prince of Venerable Orissa. No more business with any nation, no more giving you anything. ”

The Thin Prince was dumbfounded, "Please!" his tone bordered on despair. "Sell us those trees, or better. Sell us bigger, more ferocious monsters! I saved some more money, almost 100,000 gold coins. They're all yours! I don't have any animals to compete in beast fights!"

"I remember you didn't have Bengal tigers before?"

The thin prince waved his hand impatiently, "Something is wrong. You know. You've given us the one-legged beasts that are out of control! They are starting to multiply and crowd the grasslands. We've ruined all our farmlands, and our herdsmen can't graze them! Bengal tigers don't eat them, and I think they don't like the taste. However, due to my poor harvest, I had to release all the Bengal tigers to save money on breeding. You know, they can't win right now, anyway!"

"Your farmland has been destroyed?"

"Those one-legged beasts can breed a litter in ten days, and there are dozens of them in a litter. You won't believe what they're doing!" said the Skinny Prince.

"Trust me, I'm a master of biology. They don't do anything I expected. Camila said. "Closer to home, I'm a man of promises. Since I promised the Olisa, I won't give you anything!"

"So we're hopeless?" said the Thin Prince, despairingly. "I beseech you, messenger. The prince of Bihar begs you! We are unlucky, and the harvest has been ruined. Add to this the fact that there are no fighting beasts to participate in the Ganesh Festival, then we will be a laughing stock completely! Bihar's flag is worthless, and the enemy will invade us and rob us of our Dalits! Bihar's proud history will no longer exist!"

"Don't worry, Kshatriya, I don't think your enemies have the time to invade you. Camila said lightly.

"What?"

"I have a hunch that other nations will soon face a difficult situation. Camila said.

"Premonition?" said the prince, incredulously.

"That's right, for example, the adolescent brindle bear will soon go into summer hibernation. You know, they're not even a year old. I hope that the native kings of Rajasthan will not be frightened by this. Well, I'm afraid they will. The desert world where they originate grows very long in the summer. During this time, their physiology will drop to a very low level, almost as if they were dead, and they will not wake up at all. In addition, judging by the insatiable appetite of those galloping otters, it will not be easy for them to feed themselves, and they will not be able to organize an invading army. ”

"The situation is similar in Manipur, where they will be forced to deal with a burst of tree slugs. Tree slugs are very fascinating creatures that have been modified by me. When they reach adulthood, they will actually grow ** and become sponge-like things. I believe that enough slugs will suck the swamps of Manipur dry. Camila said. "Their city, I think it's going to collapse. How can I have the strength to invade you? The other nations have their own problems, and the Olisas have the most problems, because I give them the most animals. ”

"Listen to this," Camila continued. "Don't you feel reassured that your neighbors won't invade you. ”

The Skinny Prince looked like a dead man. "You're crazy! You're ruining us! Our agriculture, our ecology...... In less than five years, we will all die of famine!"

"I don't think so. Camila said. "Nature is tough. After a period of adjustment, a new equilibrium will naturally be formed. It's just that there may not be a place for the Mistara people in the new ecological balance at that time. ”

It was as if the skinny prince had finally come to his senses. "You are not the messenger of Lord Rudra!" he yelled. "How could the gods do this to us? You have stolen his temple, why hasn't Rudra made a move to destroy you?!" his face was full of fear.

Camilla struck suddenly, and with just one blow, her right hand, which turned into an axe, cut off the prince's head.

"You false gods, I'm afraid they won't be busy taking care of you right now. Someone else is pestering them. The Great Druid reverted back to his original form, revealing a delicate face and a beautiful ponytail. She walked out to the terrace and looked at the stars and muttered to herself.

In the dark void of space, the murderous and bloodthirsty Atas nomadic army is roaring in a magic ship.
