Chapter 15: The Trial of the Valkyries (4)
"It's the first time you've seen the Colosseum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Quintus noticed Callista's gaze looking around, and Diana had accompanied Madame to watch it once, so there wasn't much of a novelty.
"Yes, we have just arrived in Ode, and we have not yet encountered such a grand event. Callista replied. "You're going to be eye-opening, certainly not to the old guy. Quintus pointed to An Minguan, who was speaking from the main stand. Callista smiled in acquiescence. After a brief speech by the civil officer, the war drums beat in unison, and the iron gate was pulled up. A giant bear roared into the battlefield. A gladiator at the other end of the arena raised his spear, causing the audience to scream.
"Appetizers. Quintus muttered, "It looks like his magic power has been sealed, and it's not optimistic to deal with a magical beast with his body and skill alone." The bear suddenly stood upright and spewed a string of flames at the gladiator, who lunged forward to avoid the flames, rolling around a few times and approaching the bear's side.
The giant bear walked on its nimble legs and walked towards the gladiators with his toes held high. How dare the gladiators confront it head-on, constantly dodging and dodging, and from time to time stabbing their spears into the tough fur of the giant bear, but this bit of blood obviously did not satisfy the audience, and they shouted loudly, and the gladiator, who had been quite popular just now, suddenly became the object of abuse again.
Callista picked up a piece of fruit salad and looked coldly at the crowd around her, she really couldn't imagine why such a savage competition would still be inherited in Ode.
In the middle of Quintus's ramblings, the Giant Bear had already taken down five gladiators. Five corpses fell in the scorching sun, and from time to time they had to sacrifice the stomach of the giant bear.
"Christine is here. Quintus pointed to a middle-aged man seated in the main stand and said, "Now those big guys talk about something, and we'll go over when it's over." ”
Callista and Diana looked at Christine, who had shaved short blonde hair, was muscular and wore a red toga, talking to the tribune. Not far from the VIP stand and the main stand, Callista quietly exerted her soul power, felt the soul power over there, and when she felt a powerful soul power in the main stand, she suddenly retracted it, avoiding the other party's awareness.
Very good, very powerful, it seems that Christine has cultivated the power of the soul.
The audience suddenly stood up and cheered again, and under the iron gate, a gladiator walked out slowly with a sword and shield, and it was actually a woman.
"That's Christine's gladiator, and he hired a great trainer, David. Quintus explained, "That beauty is called Aimee, and she has a younger sister, Tyra, who was last year's Axichen champion. ”
Callista looked closely, Aimee was wearing a mesh helmet, and she couldn't see her face, but her bare waist and figure were slim, and her muscles were toned but not exaggerated.
"It's the first time I've heard of a female gladiator. Callista said lightly.
"Haha, only Christine would do that in Ode. It is said that his favorite thing is to watch wrestling and wrestling. Quintus suddenly remembered that the customs of Od and Phip were very different, and added, "If you are not used to it, you can go outside the arena." ”
Although Phip and Od are now only separated by a Huaishang River, when it comes to inheritance, most of the people who established Phip are from the Xia Kingdom in the Second Universal Era, while the Od people are from the Sikkim Kingdom in the far west, so the social customs are very different.
"We are magicians who go out to practice, how can we avoid the biggest sporting event in your country?" Callista winked at Diana, who hurriedly agreed.
Seeing that the two guests were satisfied, Quintus was relieved, and in a blink of an eye, Aimee on the field had already plunged a short sword into the back of the giant bear, causing the audience to scream. After fighting for so long, Aimee was also the first gladiator to inflict great damage on a giant bear.
In terms of infantry combat skills, her strength is not inferior to that of the third-order knights of the Holy Knights.
Calista secretly weighed in her heart, curious about what level the gladiators' enhanced magic could reach, Aimee's superb combat skills, coupled with good enhanced magic, would not be her opponent.
Once again, Aimee dodged a blow from under the giant palm, circled behind the giant bear, and drew her dagger as the blood surged into hysterical screams from the crowd.
The rest of the battle was like a dance, as Aimee swirled around the bear's partner, leaving wounds on its body and finally stabbing it in the heart.
Diana's heart was beating as she watched from the sidelines, and she learned swordsmanship, secretly thinking that if she played by herself, she would die under the giant bear in the first round. It's a pity that such a good warrior is Christine's slave and can only entertain the audience. She has recently been deeply infected by Callista, and has become increasingly disgusted with slavery in Austria.
Follow Wu Zun's guidance and break the chains.
"Miss Diana, are you really okay?" Quintus saw Diana frowning in thought, thinking she was uncomfortable with blood. "This sport is a sacrifice of blood for the sun god, and people who watch it for the first time will find it a little bloody, and you don't necessarily have to watch it to ・・・・・・"
Diana smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just that ・・・・・・ a little homesick." ”
"Then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Quintus thought for a moment, "There's a waterfall east of Actium, and we can visit it someday." Diana smiled and agreed.
"Freelance begins!" the sheriff announced loudly. The audience responded to him with the sound of mountains and tsunamis.
"Freelance, you can use any means, any magic. "Quintus also came to the spirit, "Gladiators from seventeen families will fight on the battlefield, fighting for honor, until a new Axichen champion is born, this time the champion is extraordinary, Prince Ferret is about to go on a northern expedition, he will definitely reward the champion and the family that trained the champion, many slave traders from afar also sent gladiators to participate in the battle, I don't know if there will be a dark horse among them, but the trainers of Axing's are not dry." ”
There is no honour in this.
Callista looked coldly at the gladiators fighting in the field, and the gladiators who had cast enhanced magic wheeled their huge war hammers and slammed the shield array that Aimee had conjured. Aimee's long sword spun up: "A sword hanging from the sky!" The swirling sword qi carried the cheers of the audience, and directly pinned the man to the ground. Raised blood splattered the faces of the front-row spectators, who shouted to the sun: "The god of the sun, the master of the universe, bestows us with warrior power." ”
"Welcome to Ode, two young ladies. Quintus held up the red wine, which was the color of blood. The three of them drank it all.
