Chapter 430: Heart of Darkness
After ninety-nine eighty-one calamities, Richard and the others finally came to the city where the arena was located.
It's a new city, it's a city that contains a lot of wealth from the entire world of the Dark Elves, it's a city that contains multiple arts. The name of the city is the Heart of Darkness.
Finally arrived, and even Kling choked up a little as he saw the city rise from the ground with a great deal of manpower.
Chapter 430
Richard, Klin, and Aladdin Ayub Ben at this time. No piece of clothing on his body was intact, and his head was covered with dust and stains.
As mentioned earlier, it seems that all the races of the underworld, led by a certain force, have started a war to stop the dark elves from worshipping the Lord of Endless Darkness. There are many kinds of rumors, according to the one who once caught an underground orc with a fairly bright brain. Their shamans have received a revelation from their ancestors and must do everything in their power to prevent the dark elves from sacrificing to the Lord of Endless Darkness. As long as the Dark Elves hold this festival, they will be recognized by the Lord of Endless Darkness, thus bringing the world of the Dark Elves to its golden age once again. At that time, the Dark Elves will unify the entire underground, making it impossible for other races to survive.
It is impossible to tell whether this is true or false. If you really want to talk about it, whether the dark elves will revive or not, or whether the other races in the underground will be liquidated by the dark elves, these really don't matter to Richard, and even the lich Barbaros has a faint expression when he hears it.
The three Richards were just gladiators, or as the Dark Elves put it, they could be considered sacrifices. According to the rituals of the Dark Elves in the past, each gladiator champion was sacrificed to the gods. Offering the strongest souls to the gods is like the people of the earth offering the best items as tributes.
But knowing that winning the championship will be sacrificed, then why are so many people following one after another? The reason is simple, as long as you don't become number one. The champion will receive the highest honor, which is to be sacrificed to the gods. And the second and third places are to enjoy the prosperity of this world. Although there is a little less honor, but at that time, freedom, wealth, status, and so on will follow.
That's why sometimes you can see some dark elves who are also gladiators? It can't be entirely said that they were beaten into slavery because they made mistakes. It's because some of them are just pursuing the ultimate honor and wealth at the end of the gladiatorial fight.
The three of Richard stood in front of this young city called "Heart of Darkness", looking at the city wall dozens of meters high, and looking at the relief carvings on the city wall. The reliefs tell the story of the rise of the four Great Elven Kings.
Colorful lights emanate from the city, making the city like the brightest morning star in this dark underworld. All kinds of people come and go, with smiles on their faces. There were tears of joy when the pilgrims finally arrived. There was the merchant of the city who laughed loudly at the shortage of their goods. There are many dark elf heroes from all over the world standing in front of the relief statues in the city, watching the rise of the four great elven kings, and vowing to be like them......
"It's time for us to go into the city......" Barbaros, the lich, still looking like him, didn't even have a hole in his mage robes, and after a few glances at the reliefs, he snapped his fingers and let the three of them follow him into the city.
Following the flow of people and being inspected by the guards, Richard and the three followed the lich Barbaros into the city. There are Gothic houses in the north, wooden houses in Hazuki Castle, and houses made of frozen ice...... Buildings representing the different styles of the Dark Elves stand in the city. These different styles of architecture give the city an indescribable weirdness and an inexplicable beauty.
The three of Richard followed the flow of people into the main road of the city, looking left and right like old farmers who had just entered the city from the countryside, and they were curious about everything. Only Barbaros, the lich, put on his hood and walked on his own.
"Quick, look at this. Barbecue dragon meat!" Clint salivated, pointing to a sign hanging up at a shop.
"What dragons, at most some wurms. Aladdin Ayub Ben interrupted Klin's fantasy by opening his mouth. "Didn't you eat it last time in that canyon? didn't you say it wasn't good at the time......
"But it's a dragon!" Clint was unconvinced.
"He wrote you?" Aladdin Ayub Ben shook his head, disdainful.
The three of them continued to move forward, seeing more "goods" that they had never seen before. Outside the shops on both sides of these avenues, countless shopkeepers pull people into their own stores when they meet people.
Look at the names "Dwarven Seiko Exclusive", "Premium Human Slave Wholesale", "High Elf Art", "Magical Heritage" and so on...... The gimmick plaques that hang out are also different. For example: 2,000 years ago, the king of the dwarves of the hills, the battle axe, arrived at the main store. A princess from the surface of the Rhine Confederation welcomes you to come and admire. Ancient elf artwork, you may be able to discover some mysteries in it. If you buy a magic book from our shop, you will be able to get the guidance of Master XXX.
It's completely dizzying, and even some of them make Richard a little excited. But when he thought of his identity, Richard could only smile bitterly.
It took Richard and the three of them half a day to follow the lich Barbaros through the city. Finally reached their destination - the Grand Arena.
This "Heart of Darkness" is built around this arena. The city was built with the Grand Arena as the center and radiating in all directions. When the three of Richard came to the arena, they suddenly thought they had come to a city within a city.
The outer walls of the arena were not much lower than the walls of the previous city. The entire arena is an elliptical shape, with a light radius of thousands of kilometers. It is said that if you squeeze hard, this large arena can accommodate millions of spectators to the maximum. Of course, the scene at that time was crowded, and I couldn't twist at all.
In the distance, a protruding statue could be seen standing in the northern stand of the Colosseum, but the massive statue was now obscured by some kind of magic cloth, and would not be unveiled until the day of the opening. There is no need to guess who the person depicted in this statue is, everyone knows that it is the Lord of Endless Darkness.
In the Grand Colosseum, there were already countless gladiators with powerful aura gathered there. Most people did not panic to sign up, but stood outside the largest arena ever, feeling his grandeur and imagining their spirits standing at the top of this great arena......
