Chapter 51: Planning Ahead
The snail-like network, which logged in from seven o'clock to ten o'clock, has finally come up, sorry!
"I'm sorry, His Royal Highness Prince Alvin, Celine is not feeling well and is about to retire!" Celine didn't look at the king's gloomy face, saluted slightly, and left through the crowd.
Corek was furious and was about to have a seizure, but Prince Alvin showed an interested look and stopped Corek: "Oh, don't blame this beautiful lady, I think my question is too presumptuous. But, I think I'll have the opportunity to apologize to her later, right, Your Majesty Korek?" he said with a 'you know' tone.
"Of course, Celine may be shy, I think she will accept your apology. Craik affirmed that no one in Paddington could go against his will. For the sake of the kingdom, even if he quarrels with the queen, he will let Celine meet all Alvin's requirements!
The prince smiled with satisfaction, looked back at the gladiatorial arena again, and after making sure that he was really delusional just now, he left the gladiatorial arena accompanied by Korek. .................. Throughout, as Celine's titular husband, Delta is a dispensable supporting character who is almost ignored.
Delta didn't look humiliated, he even had a smug ............ If he could get close to the noble prince in person through Celine and not through the prince's men, Duke Linde would definitely be happy. The only thing that was a little upset was that the orc was going to live a little longer!
The audience began to disperse one after another. Worried about Baroque's injury, Sera seemed to want to step forward, but Belinda took her by the arm...... Her gifted students must not be with lowly orcs, and if there are some random rumors, wouldn't they be like those shameless noble ladies and ladies?
The old orc Zachary did not leave with the magicians, and he slowly walked down the stands and into the gladiatorial arena. An elite team of gladiatorial arena escort warriors was cautiously surrounding Baroque lying on the ground, even if he was seriously injured and almost half of his shoulder bones were broken. It was the brutality of the Baroque that made them unforgettable.
As a loyal servant of the venerable Academy Dean Butters, the old orc Zachary is so famous that he can almost be said to be a household name. The samurai did not stop him, but respectfully got out of the way and allowed Zachary to come to Baroque's side.
Squatting down, Zachary silently placed his hand on Baroque's injured shoulder, revealing a faint light in his hand, and the shoulder made a slight bone creak. Rao is Baroque strong enough, but he can't help but let out a muffled snort. Some of the deformed shoulders were reset and straightened by Zachary with the beastly spirit, and then the old orc lifted Baroque to his feet, holding on to his other, uninjured arm.
The king's henchman, Urbain, hurried over from outside the arena and delivered the king's edict to Baroque: "Orc, you have lost your freedom. From now on, you will stay in the arena with your people until the day of your gladiatorial performance. During this time, if you dare to behave rudely, your people will be killed. With that, Urban turned away with a haughty expression...... He was the king's personal servant, and even when the great nobles saw him, they would greet him with a smile. A humble orc, not worth taking seriously.
"Honorable warriors, please open the iron gates and let the Baroque people come out!" Zachary said to the warriors.
Since the king's edict came, they naturally had to obey it, and the captain at the head took out the key to open the iron door, and the orcs, who were already anxious, pounced out.
Barrotan's eyes were red, and he carefully supported the half-unconscious Baroque, and the orcs looked at the group of warriors with anger and hatred in their eyes that could not be concealed. "Baroque is badly wounded, help him in, and let me get me some herbs. Zachary urged the orcs, not wanting to see them clash with the escort warriors.
They carefully carried Baroque into their dwellings. It was a dark room under the gladiatorial arena, the air was damp, the floor was soaked with water, and there was an unpleasant musty smell, and the floor was covered with messy dirty animal skins, messy grass, and almost rotten. Zachary frowned, although he was also an orc, he had never lived in such a terrible environment for a day.
Barely found a dry place, and lay down the little baroque wings. Baroque had passed out, and even if he touched his badly injured arm, he only grunted in his coma, and did not wake up.
At some point, Seston's obsessive figure appeared behind the guard samurai, and he looked to confirm that Baroque was really unconscious, which was a little reassuring. His face instantly turned indifferent, and he shouted to the orcs in a shrill voice: "Orcs who don't know whether they are alive or dead, this is the fate of offending the noble human race. You should be grateful to the honorable guests of Audria and our king, if it were not for them, even if the Baroque defeated the great sand lizard, they would have to face even more brutal beasts, and in the end they would have to die in the belly of the beast. Hmph, stay here honestly now, waiting for the gladiatorial performance in a month, and maybe there is a glimmer of hope for freedom. After saying that, he swung his fat body and walked away!
It would have been better if this ferocious orc had been injured, otherwise he would have taken his people and fought with the Terran gladiators led by Celt a month later, and the result was really unimaginable. Now that the bone in half of his shoulder is broken, and without a good physician to treat him, he will certainly not recover as fast as Selte. Selt's odds of winning would be much greater...... That's Seston's idea.
Finally, everyone was gone, and Zachary took out the healing potion from his body and applied it to Baroque's wounds, as if he had expected them. casually instructed Barotan and the others beside him: "Go out and guard a few people, and shout immediately if you find any outsiders approaching." ”
Although they were puzzled by this unknown old orc, they still did it out of trust in their kindred. Baroque, who had been lying in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. The sharp pain in his shoulder only made him frown, ignoring the surprise of his clansmen, and looking straight at Zachary: "Mr. Zachary, you shouldn't be here, it will cause you trouble. ”
Zachary shook his head and smiled wryly: "I've thought about it for a long time, but your plan is still too hasty. You won't know how complex the sewers in Padea City are, and over the centuries, some of them have been abandoned or collapsed, and tinkering has been done beyond recognition over the years. If I don't come, I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way outside after going underground for a month. ”
"But you've helped enough, I don't want you to be punished in front of your master, Butters"
"Don't care so much!" Zachary looked up at the sky outside, it seemed a little overcast, and it was going to rain. The old orc's face showed joy: "Great, it will rain in the last few days, this is a good opportunity for us." As long as you follow the flow of rainwater in the sewer, with the help of a map, it can be much easier. ”
Baroque didn't say anything more, and he accepted Zachary's kindness. This is a kind old man, even if he is barely a pure orc.
The early arrival of Alvin, Prince of Audria, forced Baroque to hasten his escape plans. Completely ignoring the sharp pain in his shoulder, he stood up and asked the orcs Cecil and Ziad, "Where is the entrance to that sewer?" ”
Seeing Baroque's serious eyes, the worried clansmen couldn't say anything. Ziad and Cecil walked to the darkest corners, lifted the rotting grass on the floor, and the toilet that seemed to contain feces, and then they lifted a stone slab with all their might, and the road made a dark hole. "We were lucky that there was a sewer entrance here. ”
Baroque pushed away the support of his people and walked to the entrance of the cave, which seemed to be deep underneath, and a foul smell came to his nose. He was just about to jump off, when suddenly a painful roar came from the arena outside the room, and his face suddenly changed...... It's Lack, it's in trouble!
Barotan ran in and said hurriedly, "Baroque, there's a magician out there dealing with a dirt dog who has used his magic to imprison that poor fellow. "Lark entered the Colosseum, but plunged headlong into the kitchen, where he enjoyed his blessings, and the orcs had never seen it.
A long sword suddenly appeared in the hand of the uninjured one, and Baroque had already flown out. The clansmen were startled and hurriedly followed out of the room, Zachary thought, Earth Dog, could it be the mysterious creature that made a big noise in the Academy?
The pale, tall and thin magician stood not far away, holding a yellow staff in his hand, dozens of meters in front of him, the earth dog Rak was trapped by the earthy yellow halo, the halo was like a tornado and spun rapidly, making Rak dizzy and unable to stabilize his body, let alone bite his tongue, what scared him even more was that the ice magic in his body seemed to be contained by this earthy yellow halo, and he couldn't use it for a while. After all, it was a little guy, not long after it became an adult, and under the fear, it finally couldn't help screaming and screaming.
Baroque walked out of the underground cell, and the magician immediately spotted him, but he didn't care, he smiled coldly, and his attention was on the earth dog Rak: "Orc, I didn't expect this creature to be brought by you, it's really a tyrannical thing." Phantom Beast ...... Hehe, I'm going to get its crystal...... What a wonderful thing. ”
Baroque looked around, but the guard warrior in the arena did not appear, as if the magician had sneaked in...... That's good, I sent a message to the tattooed wolf on my arm, and I got a cheerful response.
Baroque smiled grimly, "Phantom Beast? You say it's a Phantom Beast? Well, even if you're right, it's a pity that you'll never live to have it." ”
The magician was stunned, Baroque's gaze made him feel bad, he had just raised his guard, but unfortunately it was too late. A silver light burst out of Baroque's arm, as fast as lightning. Before the magician could open his mouth, the silver light pierced through his chest,
At the heart position, a transparent hole suddenly appeared, and the heart disappeared!
The spell of imprisonment dissipates suddenly, and Rak the earth dog is rescued, but he hides at Baroque's feet with his tail between his legs - and the silver creature appears again, making Lac fearful from the bottom of his soul!
"Don't be stunned. Baroque hurriedly shouted to the stunned people, including Zachary, "Quickly carry his body in and throw it into the sewers." Our plans must be advanced, the Academy of Magic will soon learn of the disappearance of this magician, and we won't be able to hide for long. ”
