Section 33 The Overlord of the Arena
The duel between Whisper and Talon took place ten days later as scheduled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For this day's performance, Sha Lie has spent a lot of money on publicity in the past ten days. Not only did he plaster leaflets on the streets and alleys of Tirtin, but he also sent people to stand at the entrance to the city and distribute leaflets to travelers and merchants who had just arrived in Tirting these days. In addition, he hired people to go to several taverns in the city to spread the news, and trumpeted that this was a special play-off to prevent the "gladiator's feast" from being left with regrets.
Ever since Daron withdrew from the game after losing both of his games against Arato, the vast majority of the audience felt very regretful. Darlon's performance before this was obvious to all, and the match against Arrato that day played at the level of the finals, so this sassy and uninhibited male fighter suddenly soared in the hearts of the audience.
But unfortunately, Daron was in a coma for too long to continue the competition, and the organizers couldn't wait so endlessly, so it was announced that he would withdraw from the competition.
At that time, as soon as the news came out, the audience immediately booed. In their minds, the finals are only good when there are strong players like Daron and Youyu.
However, because Daron did not advance to the finals, and the other players had a considerable gap in strength compared to Whisper, this year's "Gladiator's Feast" can be said to have ended extremely tediously.
Just as the people who had come to the city to see the "Gladiator's Feast" were about to leave disappointed, they heard the news that Talon was going to play another match with Whisper, and immediately turned around and returned to the hotel where they had just checked out in the morning.
For the audience, this play-off was the real final, which not only made up for their regrets, but also brought Tirtin's atmosphere to a new climax.
Today's 100,000 seats were sold out eight days ago, and many people who didn't buy tickets even begged the ticket department of the arena to give them some "standing tickets" so that they could stand in the corridor and watch the game.
Alicia and Melova followed Kyllloa to find their place, a VIP seat specially given to them by Shari, located in a place with a good view, and the space between the seats was larger than the others.
"Kylloa, the whole Tirting is so happy today, will you just give me a day off?" muttered Alicia as soon as she sat down.
Daron has been recuperating from his injuries for the past ten days, so Alicia has been practicing painful magic under the supervision of Kyeloa every day. Before coming here, Alicia had been reciting runes in her hotel room all morning.
"Do you want to take a vacation? Yes~ Then be ready to take twice as much homework tomorrow. Kylloa said with a faint smile.
"You're a true devil teacher. "Alicia is powerless to resist, she will always be obedient in front of Kyeloa.
Another difference between VIP seats and regular seats is that VIP seats have backrests. Now Alicia felt powerless at the thought of the crooked runes, and she leaned back in her chair, noticing that Melufa was casting a sympathetic look at her.
Glancing at Kyllloa, who had just sat down and was sorting out her clothes, Alicia quietly leaned her head against Meleva and whispered in her ear:
"He's been bullying you like this all along, right?"
"Hehe, that's not called bullying, the sage taught you so hard, you should feel happy. Mei Lufa straightened her glasses and whispered.
"Happiness? Oh my God, I guess you're the only one who thinks so. Hey~ It's good to like someone, you can still feel happy after being tortured so much every day. Alicia said with a wicked laugh.
Mei Lufa's face turned red when she heard this, and she immediately raised a finger to signal Alicia to silence.
"You, what are you talking about? I'm a magician myself, so learning magic and becoming a magician is my goal in life. Alicia, you just think that magic is dispensable to you right now, and you don't know what learning will do for you. ”
"yes, I don't want to be a magician. ”
"But you're talented. As Meleva said this, Alicia didn't notice the slightest hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Do you want to talk about my innate attributes again?" replied Alicia. This is already something she has heard from the mouths of Kyrloa and Merus no less than ten times, because of Alicia's innate holy attributes, so she has the talent to be a magician, but this is only a possibility at best, isn't it, this is just a conjecture made by the sage based on the precedent of Yedam Galle, the founder of the dark sacrifice technique, and there is no factual basis to prove that Alicia can derive the holy attribute magic in her body and use it.
"The Sage must have his reasons for persuading you to practice magic, and as far as I know, the Sage has never missed a beat. ”
"Oh, yes? Perhaps your sage has made a big mistake this time. Alicia didn't expect as much from herself as Kyllloa, and she felt that it would be more practical to learn more of Daron instead of spending time learning magic that wasn't of interest to her.
"Alicia. A calm male voice rang out, and Alicia looked forward, and it was Kyeloa who came from it, "I heard you say so loudly. ”
Meluva immediately sat up straight with a blush on her face when she heard Kylloa say this, while Alicia pouted and retracted her and Meluvia's head-to-ear movements.
Now on the field of the competition, a group of scantily clad slave girls are dancing with veils on their faces. They waved their long silk sleeves, twisted their limbs, and spread out in a circle like petals to the music of the tambourine, and then closed and repeated.
From the preparation room, Daron watched their dance through the window railing, while also observing the reconstructed arena.
You know, the battle between Daron and Arato basically destroyed the entire infield beyond recognition, and now, not only has the floor been completely restored, but the organizers have also added a ring of tall steel glass to the original guardrail of the grandstand in order to prevent the spectators from being caught in danger again. It is said that this glass has also been permanently effected by the magician to apply protective magic, and it seems that that Shareh is really generous enough when it comes to spending money.
"I'm sorry, can you give me a moment?"
Just as Daron was looking out the window, he heard a somewhat rusty mainland dialect suddenly coming from behind him and couldn't help but turn his head. I saw a dark-skinned young man in a white alien costume standing there. His hands and feet were tied to heavy iron shackles, which were connected by iron cables, like a prisoner. He was followed by two of Shareh's private soldiers, who seemed to be in charge of spying on him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Daron stepped aside, only to see the young man being escorted to the playing field, and after he had passed, there were soldiers passing by with many people of different colors, each handcuffed and shackled, but because they were all in prison uniforms, one could guess the identity at once, they should all be prisoners in prison. But at first, the guy dressed in his own costume somehow made Daron feel a special aura, he should have been a slave bought or captured by this arena, but he had an unusual aura.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" said the host, dressed in fancy clothes, and attracted the attention of the audience with a loud voice, "Thank you for joining us today, your long-awaited competition will be coming soon, and before that, we have prepared an additional performance for everyone." ”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the soldiers pushed the dark-skinned slave youth and many prisoners out.
When the young man walked out, almost half of the audience was boiling in an instant. The other half of the audience looked at them with inexplicable expressions, not knowing what was going on.
Alicia also belongs to this other half of the audience. Seeing that the atmosphere in the audience was so enthusiastic all of a sudden, she pulled over an uncle who almost jumped up and cheered next to her and asked:
"What's the matter, why are you all so happy?"
"Ah~ Is it the first time you have come to the Tirting Arena to watch a match?" asked the uncle, putting down his raised arm.
"This is my first time in the city. Alicia replied honestly.
"Then it's no wonder, the black man on the field is the star of this arena, and it is also the magic weapon that Sha Lie uses to press the bottom of the box. ”
"There are stars in the arena too?"
"Of course. As you should know, this arena usually has slaves fighting each other as a show, and there are also various challenges. This man was a slave of the Yi tribe who was captured by Sha Lie six years ago, and in the past six years, people have constantly challenged him, but they have all been defeated at his hands, and the audience has given him the title of 'Overlord of the Fighting Arena' for this reason. ”
"Overlord ...... of the Arena"
Alicia read the six words word by word, and her eyes looked at the young man with a nonchalant expression, and she couldn't help but feel a strong interest.
