Chapter 063: Latent Rules
Alan listened to the words of the strange young man, and didn't know how to deal with this embarrassing question for a while, the guy actually saw through his thoughts at a glance, he suddenly remembered the unlucky guy who had just died under the wolf's mouth, and the bloody scene was still lingering in his mind, and at this moment, he actually took the initiative to make such a request to a stranger, this kind of deceptive behavior is simply detrimental to the dignity of the knight.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" the strange young man clearly saw the embarrassed expression on Alan's face.
"Nothing, how do you know what I'm thinking?
"Looks like you're not a nobleman in Nipur City, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have the money, hehe. The young man said with a courteous face.
"Can you tell me more specifically? I didn't quite understand!" Alan shifted to the side, trying to move away from the ferocious leopard.
"As you may not know, since the story of Captain Sercy became a good story, many powerful nobles have wanted to join the Bullhorn Legion, some of them perhaps for the honor of their families, but many more for the protection of Lord Barton. If you're a member of the Horns, you won't be put to death if you do something out of the ordinary. Since then, more and more nobles have come here to duel the beasts, but no one dares to guarantee that they will get out alive, and then some clever people have come up with a clever plan, as you just said, we have a large number of sick beasts here, although they look fierce on the outside, but in fact they are vulnerable, and these beasts are for nobles like you. The young man explained earnestly.
Alan listened to the explanation of the strange young man, and suddenly felt a little sorry for the guy who had just died, the wolf who duel with him was obviously a little strange, in the case of cutting off half of his forelimbs, he actually bit the to death without any pain, that wolf could not just be starved for a long time, it must have been fed some medicine before going on the field, these people in the background of the Colosseum knew very well what the nobles in the stands wanted to see, compared with the fierce wolf hacked to death by humans, of course they would prefer to see the be bitten to death by the wolf.
"Sounds good, tell me how much it costs to buy a sick beast. Alan asked, looking at the youth.
"It's up to you to decide, ordinary wolves and wild dogs only need one silver coin, but I don't recommend you choose these two, because they are too ordinary, even if you kill them, it may not attract the attention of Captain Selcy, relatively speaking, I recommend that you choose brown bears, leopards, tigers, Large carnivorous beasts like lions may sound a little scary, but don't worry, we have the best alchemist in Nipur City here, and we only need to feed those sick beasts a little potion before going into the field, even if their claws scratch you, they won't be hurt too much, but the price is ....." The young man's face showed a greedy expression.
Alan pulled out a shiny gold coin from his jacket pocket, squeezed it in his hand, and shook it in front of the young man's eyes. "In that case," he asked with a smile, "do you think I can defeat ten tigers?"
The young man's eyes followed the gold coin in Allen's hand back and forth, the corners of his mouth grinned in an exaggerated arc, his hands involuntarily put on his chest and kept rubbing dryly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva deeply.
"My lord," he said, "I am not mistaken, if you are really going to invest all this gold coin in this matter, you will definitely be able to defeat more than ten tigers.....
"Hehe, it's not ten tigers, it's ten leopards?" asked Allen, squeezing the gold coin back into his palm.
"Your Excellency, please. The young man stepped back and reached out in an inviting gesture.
Alan followed the young man to the depths of the passage, and through the dim light of the fire, he saw that the narrow tunnel was lined with wooden cages, each cage was almost filled with various beasts, and those wooden cages were stained with the manes of various animals, and they looked like they had been some years old.
After a curved tunnel, he followed the youth to an underground hall, the height of which was slightly more comfortable than the previous tunnel, but still a little oppressive, and the smell of blood still filled the air, it smelled like a slaughterhouse, and the hall had no windows, only lit by a few braziers on the wall rock.
The young man walked to a wooden door and knocked rhythmically.
"Lord Wood, may I come in? There's a knight here who wants to buy something. The young man whispered the code words of the Colosseum.
"Come in. A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door.
The young man pushed open the wooden door, and Alan followed him into the low door, where a middle-aged man sat at the table, playing with a bloody dagger in his hand, and in the corner of the hut lay a row of wooden weapon racks with all kinds of weapons, from large axes to long swords, and blood remained on almost every weapon.
"Lord Wood, this knight wants to buy something, and the price he paid ..... Pretty high. The young man bowed slightly to the man and said with a smile on his face.
"Really?" The middle-aged man put the dagger in his hand on the table, stood up and looked at Alan in front of him, "This knight, you look really powerful, it's my honor to serve you!"
"There's no need to say this, your name is Wood, isn't it?" Alan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, "My purpose, you should be very clear, but before I do that, I have a question for you." ”
"It's also my pleasure to answer your question!" Wood said with a slight bow.
"Damn, can you not talk to me in that tone?
"I'm sorry, sir, please speak. Is that okay?" Wood still smiled.
"I'm not a nobleman in Nippur, and I've never met Captain Sersi, so you'd better send someone outside now to see if the guy who killed the brown bear is in the stands, and I'm not here to put on a show for those noble ladies. ”
Wood waved his hand to the young man next to him, who turned and walked out of the stone house.
"Knight, my servant says your bid is high, I want to know ....."
Alan interrupted Wood's question by placing a gold coin on the table.
"Well, knight, you are indeed very generous. Wood clapped his hands, and the clapping came from the small stone house outside, lingering down the hall.
A few seconds later, there was the sound of neat steps outside the house, sounding like the sounds of a group of soldiers, but not like the sound of iron boots crashing against the ground.
Alan took a few steps back, and Wood picked up the bloody dagger on the table, a strange smile on his face.
