"What do you mean, you mean that the Witch King will break his promise and not give the champion the reward of freedom? He seemed restless www.biquge.info didn't know what he should ask, or didn't want to be persuaded by Zhao Mai to lose hope of "gaining freedom".

In the dark cell, the sound of "popping" still echoed. Whistles and cheers were heard in the hallways outside, and some unpleasant jokes drifted over. None of this could reach Ricas's ears, though, and there was only one voice in his head, "No Freedom."

"You're a member of the Masked Alliance, and you're not a slave owner at all, are you?"

"I was not a member of the Masked Alliance at the time I met you. But I've never been a slave owner, you're right. I come from somewhere else, a world without slavery, a place of freedom. Zhao Mai said: "It is not the victory of a gladiatorial battle that determines whether you are a slave or free, things are never so simple. There is the same obstacle between you and freedom, between everyone and freedom, and that obstacle is called the Witch King. ”

"The Witch King is invincible!" Rikas almost shouted. "Do you want me to die?"

"Yes, that means. Zhao Mai was blunt. "I was taken as a slave and sent to the construction site of the temple tower. What the Witch King did in the temple tower was not lost at all, and I saw it all. ”

Zhao Mai 1510 told Rikas about the role of the temple tower, about the Witch King's plan to absorb all the life power of the entire gladiatorial arena to strengthen himself, the so-called competition will not go to the end at all, there will be no champions and rewards at all, there will only be dead corpses all over the ground.

"Why don't you destroy the temple tower? You have a good chance, don't you?" asked Ricas.

"When someone swings a sword and slashes you, do you kill that person or cut off the sword?" Zhao Mai pouted and said, "Not to mention whether I have that ability or not, even if I do that, the Witch King can still repair the temple tower and continue to carry out his plan, delaying it for a day or two." Only by completely cutting off his thoughts, so that he no longer has the possibility of implementing the plan, can the problem be truly solved. ”

"Why me? I don't have the ability. Rikas looked at Zhao Mai with blazing eyes.

"It's not you, it's us. Zhao Mai pointed to his chest. "You don't think I'm going to leave you alone to do this almost impossible task, do you?"

"I don't understand. ”

"I didn't understand it before. Zhao Mai remembered the time when he was locked up in a prison car, living with corpses every day. Torture and torture, humiliation and injury of Tessian. "I came to the desert completely because someone else killed me, it was the result of an attack, and at that time I felt that it was nothing more than a new adventure, and I still had a sense of anticipation and excitement in my heart. Then I figured out, why? I do like to take risks, I like to solve all kinds of problems, but why did someone force it on me? That bastard of Tessian, wantonly hurting and robbing me, made me feel like I had lost my freedom for the first time, so I got serious, for the first time in my life. ”

Zhao Mai sat on the ground, leaning against the smooth stone wall with his back, his eyes looking up at the heavy roof, as if he could see the starry night sky through the layers of stone and cement. "I want to do what I want and I won't be forced again. I also want power, I don't need much, as long as I can keep my freedom, keep my right to choose freely. I want to be free to explore all kinds of strange worlds and experience all kinds of beauty that a person should see in his life. ”

"So you're going to kill the Witch King?"

"Yes, because the Witch King and his slavery, and of course his terrible power, are obstacles in my path. You know, sometimes I look at this vast sea of sand, appreciate its cruelty, and at the same time marvel at its magnificence? In this magnificent land, there should be magnificent events and magnificent heroes to match. I can't think of anything more magnificent than taking out the Witch King and ending slavery!"

Rikas was stunned and sat quietly and silently across from Zhao Mai. After a long while, he raised his head again and said to Zhao Mai, "You can leave Tyre City, right?"

"Well, that's right. The people outside thought they had been burned to death. I can sneak in or I can sneak out. The slaves and Templars of Tyre are all gathered around the temple tower, and the outside is almost an empty city, a dead city, of course I can go. ”

"But you're back, and you're going to kill the Witch King. ”

"Yes, no one forced me to do it, it was my own choice. Zhao Mai said, "Rikas, what is your choice? The previous proposal is still valid, I can still take you out and let you go - for the sake of the food and backpack you have brought me." ”

"No, I choose to stay. Rikas shook his head. "Ever since I heard the word freedom, I haven't wanted anything else. I know that only by becoming the strongest gladiator can I be free. No matter how many obstacles there are along the way, I will overcome them and never compromise. Freedom or death!"

"What if it's the Witch King?"

"Even if it's a witch king!"

"Okay, if only you had that determination. Zhao Mai stood up: "I have already said what I should say, and I don't want you to listen to me alone, you should see with your own eyes, listen with your own ears, and think with your own brain, just like a free man." As one of the most promising gladiators, if you are careful, you can detect a change in things and you will know that what I am saying is true. ”

"I believe what you say. I can tell the truth from your expression. ”

"Thank you for your trust, keep up, you're not fighting alone. Zhao Mai said: "Now I have to withdraw, after all, my current identity is the administrator of the beast pen, a stupid guy." If there's any progress, I'll let you know, and until then, you just keep training. By the way, practice your left hand more, you don't know what to expect, what if your sword can't be used in gladiatorial combat?"

"But, according to the rules......"

"Rules?" Zhao Mai smiled: "Would you rather believe in the rules? You can't have illusions anymore, only you can defend your freedom, right?"

"Yes, you're right. Rikas nodded: "I will try to make my left hand as strong as my right hand, and be ready for everything." ”

Zhao Mai turned off the background "music", then grabbed the waist of the beautiful Duojian and opened the prison door. "Thank you for teaching me a lesson. He plays a silly guy and speaks in a silly voice, "Goodbye, kind Ricas." ”

On the way back, he received countless ridicule, "I'll make up for you, I can teach both of you!"

"Rikas's waist strength is good, it's almost dawn! It's really admirable to toss for so long!"

Zhao Mai just smiled and didn't have to say a word. (To be continued.) )
