Chapter 18: The God of the Arena (6)

The carriage made a few turns around the street and then headed towards the arena. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Renesa sneaked around and followed the carriage from a distance, lest they discover their scheme.

The carriage stopped at an arch outside the arena. A bejeweled man got out of the car, and he looked very rich.

When the soldiers guarding outside the arena saw him, they bowed and saluted.

Hey, this guy is quite powerful! Looks like you have to be careful, don't let them catch it, or it will be terrible.

The Hippodrome and the Parliament Building, once the landmarks of the Isle of Light, are a source of pride for all the citizens of the Isle of Light.

Although the arena has been sealed in the dust for more than 20 years, people have never forgotten it, and many people even say that in the dead of night, the sound of swords clashing, shouting, screaming, and even stormy applause and cheers can be heard from the arena.

Renesa looked up at the arena and felt a pain in her neck.

Oh my God, how many people and how many years does it take to build such a tall and majestic building?

Like spiders, many people hang down from the high roof of the arena with ropes to clean the exterior walls of the arena, gradually revealing the simple and heavy colors of the marble on the exterior walls.

A large wooden barrel fell from the sky, and Renesa hurriedly jumped to the side to prevent the barrel from hitting her head, but the sewage in the barrel flew with sawdust and splashed her.

Ressa was about to open his mouth to curse when the guards shouted, "Hey, who's that! It's dangerous to stand down there." Hurry up and go away, what's there to see?"

Renesas had no choice but to walk away. Seeing her prey enter the arena, Renesa was very unwilling, but how could she sneak into this heavily guarded arena?

With patience, there will always be opportunities. No, Renesa finally seized the opportunity and sneaked into the arena behind a team of civilians delivering materials.

The belly of the arena is like a huge labyrinth, with countless passageways and corridors leading in all directions. If you don't look at the nameplate on the wall, you don't know where it leads.

Renesa stumbled, dodging patrolling guards, and finally reached the stands of the arena.

Oh my God, it's so spectacular!

The entire interior of the arena is a huge circular structure, the size of several villages in the arena alone. Hundreds of civilians spread yellow sand in the middle of the field, covering up the black-brown blood stains on the sand of the past.

There are seven towering copper pillars around the field, as well as seven strange hemispherical objects, and it is unknown what they are used for. A sturdy iron fence surrounds the arena, and the perimeter is a moat several feet wide.

Outside the moat is a marble stone wall several feet high. Above the stone wall is the stands of more than 100 floors, which seem to be able to accommodate at least tens of thousands of people to watch the game.

I'm not here to see the scenery...... Renesa reminded herself that she must not forget the purpose of her visit, and finally slowly looked away from the field in surprise.

Standing on the VIP seat in the distance was the rich man, and many people surrounded him, humbly half-bowing to listen to what he said, showing a charming face.

"Phew, dead minion, shameless!" Ressa spat hard.

Suddenly, a man walked away from the rich man's side and went down the hallway. Seeing that he was also dressed gorgeously, Renesa immediately slipped down.

He who steals not becomes a rich man can also steal a slave to death. Moreover, this minion seems to be much richer than the vast majority of the common people, and as soon as he leaves his master, he is arrogant and angry, and it makes people angry at the first sight.

The man turned left and right in the hallway, not noticing a sneaky thief behind him.

The man went down to the dungeon, and when the monsters in the dungeon saw someone coming, they roared and slammed into the iron door, revealing Sensen's teeth and claws.

When Ressa saw so many monsters, her heart grew furious, afraid that they would burst out of her cell and tear herself to pieces.

Fortunately, the iron door was made of stainless steel with a thick bowl mouth, but they made it rattle.

There was a glimmer of light ahead, and it was getting brighter and brighter, even a little dazzling. The man stuck the torch in his hand into the lampholder on the wall and coughed a few times.

It was an iron door to the arena. Maybe the monsters were released from here to fight and slaughtered by the gladiators.

"You're here?" Ressa suddenly heard someone else speak, "Do you need me to open the iron door for you?"

"No, I don't want anyone to see me with you. Resas then heard a crisp sound of gold coins colliding, "This is a thousand gold coins, and I'll give you the other half when it's done." ”

Renesa stomped her feet in a hurry, oh my god, that's my money!

If you haven't stolen it yet, how can it be considered yours?" Resa heard the man again: "When they finish the tenth round of the challenge, you pour the contents of this glass bottle into the drinking water prepared for them, and send it to the venue, and your mission is complete." ”

"Wouldn't York drink it too?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to do what you have to do!"

"Yes......"

"Also, keep your mouth shut! If you dare to reveal the slightest bit of rumor to anyone else, you should know what the consequences will be!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to talk nonsense. In the future, even if I drink, I will only drink a little, I will never get drunk, I will not talk nonsense, even if I sleep with women, I will cover my mouth with a towel and not talk in my sleep. ”

"That's good!"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Ressa hurriedly hid in the darkness and watched as the man walked past him with a torch.

Just hit him in the back of the head with a stone......

But Renesa doesn't want to be a thief anymore! This man must have been ordered by the banker to make a dirty deal with the guards of the arena, trying to plot against Gu Shiyu after the final round of the challenge.

Renesas now holds a stone in his hand. But she knew that if she knocked him unconscious, regardless of whether the man had money on him or not, the bankers would definitely suspect that the secret had been leaked when they learned of his attack, and they would inevitably think of other conspiracies.

Ressa slowly lowered the stone in his hand, and when the man was far away, he crept to the door and quietly looked around.

Renesa was so angry that his teeth were itching. She wanted to know who had taken the gold that belonged to her.

There was no one at the door, and looking through the iron fence, only a few busy civilians could be seen on the field.

As dusk wore on, the people who had toiled in the arena left in droves, and Renesa followed suit.

Her stomach was rumbling, but Ressa had more important things to do, and she had to find a way to tell Gu Shiyu this important information immediately.

The steps of the Capitol were filled with soldiers, and even a few wolfdogs, barking at the sight of Renesas.

Renesa had no choice but to stay out of the way. She was afraid of this ferocious animal, known for its sharp teeth, though she also had sharp teeth...... , but it looks much worse than theirs.

Directly report that this girl is the daughter of the chief priest of the Temple of Atonement, Somla, the incomparably noble Miss Ressa, will they let herself in?

What she feared most was that as soon as she said that she was Miss Rensa, she would be immediately taken into prison by the soldiers and spanked. The gray-robed shaman had warned her to hide, not to say her name, not to trust anyone.

What to do? Ressa's tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Before she knew it, she came to the dock alone, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, so she hid in the dark and sat down, hugged her knees and cried.

I don't know how long later, Renesa suddenly heard someone calling her: "Renesas, Renesas, what's wrong with you?"

Isn't this Gu Shiyu's voice? Ressa immediately jumped to her feet and looked around, but there was no one in the darkness.

She hurriedly took out the crystal ball. Sure enough, a free divine light emitted from the crystal ball, revealing Gu Shiyu's anxious face inside.

Renesa held the crystal ball in the palm of his hand and laughed, "......Stupid! You've finally remembered to use a crystal ball!"

"You don't know, they were surrounded by a large crowd of people, and they couldn't breathe, and they chattered to me for a long time, trying to stuff me with what they knew at once, and my head made them many times bigger. Where are you, why is it so dark?"

Renesa's tears immediately rolled down like raindrops, and his shoulders shook: "I...... I'm alone on the dock. ”

"Come back, it's cold outside. ”

"I can't go back, the bankers are going to arrest me. ”

"Why?"

"When they caught me, didn't they know that I had smuggled soldiers over to help you?"

"Damn, why are they so annoying!

"I'm hungry, you want someone to bring me some money, you still owe me 400,000 gold coins." ”

"Wait, I'll ask Altyn to bring it to you shortly. Hey, what are you talking about 400,000?"

"When you were in the Lost Lands, didn't you say that you would buy my crystal ball for 200,000 gold coins each?"

"Uh...... But you only gave me one. ”

"I was going to give you two, but then I thought that you would give me one anyway, so I kept one for myself. ”

In fact, Renesa was afraid that Gu Shiyu would give another crystal ball to Altyn, so he kept it for himself. Who called him so ugly?

“...... I understand. But I'm not going to give you all the money now, they're going to turn you into a camel. You stay there and don't move, I'll go find Altyn to help you right away, and talk to Eric about you by the way. ”

The divine light in the crystal ball disappeared immediately, and Gu Shiyu disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, hey!" Resa stomped her foot in frustration. I just said the first important thing, and the second important thing hasn't been said yet!

"What a fool!" Renesa grumbled. However, when I saw the rain and fire in the valley, my heart was still beautiful.

It didn't take long for Altyn to arrive, carrying two large packages in his hand. It wasn't until it became clear that it was Altyn that Renesa popped out of the darkness.

"Oops, you're so nice to bring me so much!"

Altyn smiled, "They're not a good thing, these are two dead bodies." ”

Ressa was startled: "You came all the way to bring this for me?"

"It's not. These two men followed me all the way from the Capitol, sneaky. I just scratched their necks and tried to ask them why they were following me, but who knew it would break all at once. ”

Alas...... Renesas didn't know what to say.

Altyn threw the two poor men into the sea, let the water wash away, and walked over to Renesa's side. Seeing that Ressa was still standing there in a daze, he said, "Miss Ressa, the two of them must be the bankers' eyeliner." It would be bad if they knew your whereabouts. It's better for them to die than for us to die, right?"

Well, it seems to make a little sense. Resa stopped dwelling and complained, "Why did you come? Why didn't he come?"

"High Priest Eric did not allow him to come over for fear that he would be framed by the bankers. Also, Eric said, you'd better hide for the time being, and when Gu Shiyu defeats York, his identity as the Chosen One will be revealed to the world, and no one will question it anymore, and then you can come out. ”

Renesa flattened her mouth: "You always talk about Eric Eric, didn't Gu Shiyu say anything?"

"He couldn't help it, so he sent me to protect you, and said that he would invite you to a big meal when he won the battle. ”

"Really?" Ressa jumped up, "Then I'll have to figure out what I'm going to eat!" Altyn, what did you bring me?"

"I brought you a thousand gold coins, and a turkey, a half-legged roast venison, and a bottle of red wine. ”

"Give it to me, I'm starving!" Resa took it and immediately nibbled on it, no longer caring about the girl's reserve.

"I don't understand how someone as smart as he is can accept it so poorly?" said Altyn as he sat on the sand, shaking his head incessantly.

"What do you mean?"

"Me, Boris, and Offretin took turns teaching him a lot of magic and combat techniques, and he just couldn't learn them, which was stupid. ”

Renesa immediately wanted to retort, but in a hurry, he choked on a mouthful of venison, and drank several sips of wine before he washed the venison down his throat and choked on tears.

She patted her chest and gasped, "You're stupid! You are all around him and tell him so much nonsense, how can he accept it all at once?"

Alkin nodded, "Maybe, but you have to know that there is not much time left before the game starts, and we still have a lot of things to tell him, and Eric and the Prophet will have a lesson to him tomorrow." Alas, hopefully he will remember what we have told him and use it in the arena. ”

"By the way, Altyn, go back quickly and tell Gu Shiyu that the bankers have transported a lot of monsters, and they are now locked up in the dungeon of the arena. ”

"This Eric already knew. He will tell Gu Shiyu tomorrow that there are some terrible things about these monsters, and what is the most straightforward way to defeat them. ”

"Also, today I secretly followed a banker to the arena, and I saw one of his doglegs muttering to the guard of the arena that he was going to use poison to murder Gu Shiyu!

"Ahh

When Renesa heard such praise, the grievances and sufferings he had suffered today were immediately thrown out of the clouds.

"Then why don't you tell him quickly?"

Alkin ran a few steps, then suddenly stopped, "But Miss Rensa, what are you doing here alone?"

"I'm fine! When I'm in the Lost Lands, I'm often playing around alone, and I'll take care of myself. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Oh, why are you more verbose than a woman, go ahead, I'll be fine. ”

Alkin touched his head, you are a woman, and you are a little woman! But he didn't refute, just said, "Then I'll go." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ressa looked at Algin's back and disappeared into the darkness, and thought to himself, Alkin is not that annoying, and now looking at him, he doesn't feel ugly.

With money in his pocket, Renesas' back straightened up a lot. After being a poor bastard for a day today, you can squander it lavishly tomorrow, and you must make up for it and treat yourself well.
