January 2, 138 was a dreary day, with a gloomy sky overhead, and gray clouds floating sporadically, blocking the sun's rays.

There were few pedestrians on the streets of Samuel Table, and a few people hurried towards an area of the city, and the patrolling figures of soldiers constituted the only noisy scene.

"Are you all going to see a duel?" a soldier muttered to his companion between patrols.

"What about the mage duel, I want to see it too. Looking in a certain direction of the city, my companion looked yearning.

"Everyone wants to see it," another soldier in the team chirped, "so today there are only a few of us in this group, and the boss and John have all gone to watch the duel, which is really enviable." ”

"That's the benefit of rights. A soldier with deep eyes said: "A few of our little minions stick to their posts honestly, and people can leave the team casually, not to mention freedom, we still have to cover for them." ”

"But I saw the boss, and the direction they went was not the gladiatorial arena," a soldier whispered.

"Nonsense, now that the people in the city have gone to the gladiatorial arena, they must not go back and change their clothes, otherwise wouldn't it be terrible to be discovered?"

**

Samuel's Gladiatorial Arena of Thorns was huge, and Alan took a cursory look at it, at least the size of five football fields.

Similar to the shape of the gladiatorial arena in the general sense, the appearance of the Colosseum is a large thorn-shaped building, surrounded by a circular arena.

The circular arena allows all the auditoriums to have a clear and unobstructed view, and at the same time, the stepped seating arrangement also allows everyone to see the duel arena below.

Surrounded by countless seats, the center is the place of gladiatorial fighting, and there is a lot of space, except for a small number of dirt floors, most of the field is paved with bluestone slabs and bricks, and a layer of sand is sprinkled on it, which looks yellow, orange and orange.

In the center of the arena, a long and narrow horse path covers a large area, and its length seems to be no less than five hundred meters, which can allow the knight to run fully, but Alan is not here today to participate in the riding gladiatorial fight, so he can't use that horse path.

He was sitting in the preparation room below the gladiatorial audience, with an attendant waiting for the dispatch, but no one else.

The people who had a relationship with him in Samuel were the Samuel family and the merchants, and the merchants wanted to come over, but they were stopped by Allen, and there was nothing to see in the name.

It was impossible for the Samuel family to wait in this preparation room with him, and at this time Gross had not returned to Samuel, and Catherine, as the lord's wife and daughter, had to accept everyone's admiration in the open and open, and both sides of the duel belonged to Samuel's close people, and they would not do such a biased thing.

So now Alan looks lonely, and his lonely figure is extremely "pitiful", and the attendants assigned by the gladiatorial arena on the side cast a beam of pity from time to time, proving his image in front of outsiders at this time.

"Idiot. Glancing at the squire, Alan didn't want to pay attention to him, closed his eyes and began his final preparations.

The sound insulation of the preparation room is not good, and the noise outside can be transmitted into the ears very clearly, and you can feel a warm scene of crowds without going out to look.

From time to time, the master of ceremonies loudly announced who was present in the city, and he was also drowned in the hustle and bustle of countless people, but because the entrance to the gladiatorial arena was not far from the preparation room, Alan could still vaguely hear it.

Then he felt a little abnormal.

During this time, he had studied a lot of important people in Samuel, and because of this, he was quite familiar with the names of those people, but at this time, it was close to the beginning, and there were not many people who came?

Or rather, it's not that there aren't many, but the main ones don't come at all!

Patrick Samuel, Andris Samuel, Nolan Samuel...

None of these high-ranking people from Samuel were present, and it can even be said that none of them showed up except for Gross.

"Could it be that they don't have time to gossip?" Although he was puzzled, Alan didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. He told his own people not to come and see, and it was normal for others to be not interested in it.

"It's just that the lord's wife and daughter are here, and they don't come, is it really etiquette?"

The loud sound of the bell interrupted his thoughts, and the noise outside was temporarily stopped.

The atmosphere was silent, and a sharp voice appeared: "Today is destined to be an extraordinary day, our noble Grand Duchess, Catherine Draco, and our much-anticipated Southern Rose, Margaret Samuel Mother and Daughter, have come to the Colosseum of Thorns, as the current gladiator of the Colosseum, I am deeply honored, I think everyone feels the same, come, let us warmly welcome the presence of the two noble ladies!"

A warm welcome rang out, and after a while, the bell rang again, and a shrill voice spoke:

"Today's gladiatorial battle is between Sir Alan Chrissy from The Reef and Jude Johnny from Samuel City!"

"A mysterious mage and a brave knight, what kind of sparks can they collide with?

It was a very simple opening statement, but the effect was explosive, and the roaring cheers rang out again, and quickly spread throughout Samuel City, and many people who didn't come couldn't help but look in the direction of the gladiatorial arena.

"Have you started?" someone muttered.

Under this deafening sound, Alan stepped out of the preparation room, his tall figure was heroic, and his close-fitting gorgeous leather armor and black cloak made him look full of mystery and attracted the attention of countless people.

Including the blonde youth who came out of the room on the opposite side.

The gladiatorial arena was huge, and the two sides were separated by at least five hundred meters, but Alan still clearly felt the malicious gaze on the other side, which made him curse again.

"Idiot!"

**

"Idiot!"

Coincidentally, Eric Samuel's disdainful voice was almost in sync with Allen, but he who was sitting in the audience naturally didn't know what Allen was talking about at this time, although he was currently intently observing the two people below.

"Mother always thought I was egging that fool into trouble with Chrissy, and she didn't believe I didn't do that at all!" Eric said indignantly, looking sideways at the chief elegant woman, "Cousin, you don't think the same way, do you?"

"I'm sure you didn't do that, cousin, because that's not what a Samuel should do. Looking at the gladiatorial arena below, Margaret replied softly.

"That's right, I also said this to her, but my mother didn't believe it, I think someone should have secretly slandered me in front of her, otherwise why would she suspect me of doing bad things every time, I have never done anything bad...."

"But I remember killing a cat last time. Margaret couldn't help but interrupt him: "That doesn't mean a good thing, or a normal thing. ”

"I was careless, cousin, you didn't see what happened, I..."

"Here we go!"

There was not just a shout around him, interrupting Eric's next words, and he couldn't help but pout his lips when he saw Margaret's gaze shift from him, so he looked sideways, only to see a sea of cheers.

"It's really enviable. With a low hum, Eric turned his head to look at the dueling arena.

There, Alan and Jude came close to each other and then stopped where they were, saluted each other, then drew their weapons and held each other silently, as if ready to attack!

The audience gathered their breath and gathered their breath, ready to watch the upcoming battle scenes.

However, after waiting for a long time, the two still remained motionless.

"What's the situation?"

"Did something go wrong?"

"Could it be that they are relying on the coercion of the legendary momentum to attack each other!?"

Many people are confused

After not moving for a long time, the sound of discussion was sparse and sparse from the beginning to quite noisy, and the audience wondered about the situation of the two people below.

Some even think that they are too nervous to move?

However, is this really the case?

There was nothing blocking the sound in the open-air gladiatorial arena, and Jude could clearly hear the countless voices around him, some of which made his face gloomy and annoyed, but he still stood motionless.

It's not that it doesn't move, it's that it can't move!

"What did you do to me!?" he gritted his teeth and looked at Allen ten meters away, trying to lift his legs, but he couldn't!
