A group of people walked through the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, the most eye-catching is the one who walks in front of each other, beautiful and harmonious, like a man and a woman who are like a pair of beautiful people. The reason why the woman is in the spotlight is naturally because she is beautiful, hot, avant-garde, bold and lively, a mortal goddess can't take her eyes off at a glance, as for the man's ...... Well, purely because he walked beside the woman, and when he looked over, he had to pay attention in passing.

However, the real citizens of Crescent City can still recognize the man with black hair and black eyes who has become a foil and is wearing a unique black suit, which is the newly hired chief adviser of the Grand Duke of their own family, Mr. Sephoeus, nicknamed "The Devil in Black". When I saw him, in addition to the first reaction (and inevitable) to slander the female companion next to him for another one (and damn pretty), they would enthusiastically send some cheers and blessings, and even worse, simply raise their arms and shout at him to show support......

And their Mr. Saphius was only puzzled by it at this time, as if the whole person was surrounded by a familiar grotesque mass, and his heart was full of messiness. The scene and the atmosphere are like football superstars walking on the streets outside the stadium on the eve of the World Cup final held at home, the football superstar is him, and the World Cup final is the "glory showdown" of Narausz......

Obviously, most of the citizens already know about the "Glory Showdown", and judging by their reactions, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is deeply anticipated by the people, and they do not think too much about it, but only regard it as a festival and a grand event for carnival, hoping that their "football superstar" can win a "Hercules Cup" for them......

Ya pear, inexplicable mountain......

Dealing with the encouragement of the extraordinarily enthusiastic citizens again, he hurriedly shook up the hand that had been shaking hard and numb when they rushed up, and then patted the face that had stiffened to maintain a smile, shook his head, smiled deeply bitterly, and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect me to have such a popular day......

Suddenly made Eve next to him giggle: "Enjoyed?"

"Absolutely not!" Ye Guyun shook his head, "There is no blessing to suffer." ”

"Oh~!, would have been disappointed if the enthusiastic citizens had known that their Mr. Saphius had been so indifferent?"

I couldn't answer this, so I could only continue to smile bitterly, turned my head, Ye Guyun leaned over to Weisi, who was walking alone behind the side, casually pointed to the left and right of the street, and said with half a complaint: "Your propaganda work is really good!"

The festive atmosphere is not only reflected in the enthusiasm of the citizens, but also in the various shops and cupboards on both sides of the street, which are also decorated to suit the occasion, and the whole city seems to be preparing for a super grand party.

Weiss didn't even raise her eyelids, and replied lightly: "We just did what we had to do......"

"Did you do what you should do?" Ye Guyun felt defeated, "Your 'what you should do' is too good, right?"

Hey, my heart is really big! Although the whole set of "St. Moïse" rites has rigid requirements for all aspects, of course, including propaganda, but it is enough to make do with it, so why should it be implemented in such a proper place? If you make such a big fuss, the consequences can be big or small! If you win, it is fine, but if you lose, will you not be afraid of disappointment, pain, and humiliation, and the citizens of Crescent City will "provoke righteous indignation" to give you a city-wide riot?

Vess glanced at him, "We just did what we had to do, but our opponents did what we didn't. ”

Uh, got it......

Ye Guyun couldn't help but say coldly: "Ferreira, hmph, it's really amazing." ”

He had a reason to do it. Weiss replied.

"Yes, as he always said, 'Humiliate us completely, along with the whole of Crescent City,' will not leave us a trace of leeway......

"However, he didn't do it. ”

"Huh?"

"It was Femin, the bastard, who carried out this extremely successful propaganda 'offensive' that made everyone in the city aware of it! He even brought in the leading figures of several nearby cities connected by sea, including the mayor......"

"It's him, that's right, we shouldn't have forgotten this vicious dog that will never settle down," Ye Guyun frowned and sighed lightly, "There are a few more mayors...... That bastard wants to make a fuss known to the whole world! Then he asked, "What are the people you invited?"

"Not better than Ret," replied Vess dryly, "but they're the best helpers we can get." ”

"In this case, it will definitely be defeated," Ye Guyun shook his head, "Lett can't beat Bremer, De Oulan, and Yasmin, and they are even more impossible." ”

"Good equipment always closes the gap, and so does the restraint of fighting style," Weiss reluctantly argued, "so we'll equip this person with the best equipment and arrange the right matchup, hoping that they can cause some trouble for the opponent......"

Ye Guyun smiled: "You can only create some trouble! Hey, do you really think that this small measure can make up for the huge gap in strength? -- Equipment? The other party is the Wehrmacht! Will there be a lack of good equipment? Restraint in combat style? Will adults be afraid of children with knives? Will we talk about restraint when the two are at the same level?"

Weiss bowed her head in silence. In fact, why didn't she know these truths? It's just that in desperation, she could only choose to believe a statement that at least seemed promising, even if it didn't stand up to too deep scrutiny. Raising her head, she said, "Well, let Mephis participate! ”

As if he had a hunch, Ye Guyun suddenly looked at Weisi with a gloomy face and dissatisfaction: "Hasn't this matter been discussed?"

And then, as a hunch,

"I've told Mephis," said Weiss calmly in the face of his cold gaze, "but she wouldn't have been unaware of the extravagant publicity I had told her about Femien Jr. ”

Thinking about it, Ye Guyun retracted his gaze.

Weiss said: "Mephiss is still the same Mephis, and when she learned about this, she said she was willing to help without saying a word, but I told her that whether she would play or not depends entirely on your ......."

However, Ye Guyun didn't want to talk about this matter at all, and forcibly diverted the topic: "This Mephis, too, why is it so procrastinating? It's been half a month since we last met, and we haven't ......set off yet."

"They were scheduled to leave the day after tomorrow," Weiss replied, "yes, just after the 'Showdown of Glory.'" ”

"That's why I can't let her play!"

......

......

The Central Arena has arrived.

Looking at its tall and majestic appearance, Ye Guyun had to sigh in his heart. In appearance, this round, multi-storey arena made of stone and volcanic ash is completely an otherworldly version of the ancient Roman Colosseum. The difference is still there, in terms of scale, this central arena is obviously larger, and in terms of characteristics, compared with the grandeur of the ancient Roman arena, it will naturally have a little more fantasy atmosphere that can only be found in the fantasy world.

The group walked in and went directly to the central performance area. Stepping on it, looking around, it is an oval-shaped field the size of a football field and a half, the soil under the feet is hard, gritty and even sticky, walking away slowly, you can see that the ground is scattered in the east and west of the ground with many mottled and dull traces that can only be found by close observation, presumably caused by the seepage of flesh and blood into the soil. I don't know which unfortunate beasts or unfortunate gladiators left behind, nor how many of these unfortunate people there are......

"This is a typical battlefield, a gladiator's battlefield!"

"It's covered with gravel, but it's still hard enough not to be too soft and get in the way of movement......"

"However, there is still a risk of slipping under your feet, so be careful when fighting......"

"At the same time, we have to be wary of our opponents using sand to launch some despicable attacks - of course, we can use sand as well......"

The group was already studying the site, among which Vokal was the most serious, he even took out a pen and paper to record the observations in detail, that kind of spirit, which made people embarrassed - at least Ye Guyun should be the most embarrassed, he was pulling Eve around boredly and looking around, that look, more like visiting famous places than familiar with the venue.

In the past life, I had only seen the mutilated Colosseum in the picture, and now I have the opportunity to enter a complete and very similar existence, how can I not make up for my regrets without a full view?

He even forcibly found a confused-looking Lete as a commentator.

"What is this place used for?"

It must be said that this was a stupid question, and when Rett heard it, he thought to himself, "Isn't this a strange thing?" but he answered honestly: "Gladiatorial fight!

"Gladiatorial fighting, man and beast, man and man, heh, there is still such a barbaric and cruel activity?"

"Slaves still exist!"

“...... Can the Grand Duke tolerate it? and he also thinks that the continued existence of gladiatorial fighting is reasonable and acceptable?"

"What if you can't tolerate it? This is not something that the Grand Duke can say in a word. ”

“...... Is there a significant stake involved?"

"Uh, admiration, eyes like torches! I finally know why you are the chief advisor......" Lett shook his head, sighed, and said, "Yes, there are significant interests involved." Behind every gladiator training camp is a powerful force, either a slave owner, or a large merchant, or a certain guild, which is linked together through the business of gladiatorial fighting, and is a huge interest group that even a grand duke cannot scruple about...... No one can deprive them of gladiatorial fighting, which is more than just a lucrative business!" After a pause, he added, "In addition to the benefits, there are also traditional and governance considerations. Gladiatorial fighting is certainly a long-standing tradition, and the townspeople do need something exciting for them......" he shook his head again.

Ye Guyun smiled and said lightly: "What if I want to ban this barbaric and cruel 'tradition'?"

"Huh, what?" Leitt thought he had misheard.

"It's nothing," Ye Guyun didn't intend to discuss the matter with Leitt, paused, and then asked, "So, who does the ownership of this arena belong to?

"Shared, public and private. Half of it belongs to the Crescent City government, well, the Ashlons! After all, hundreds of years before the construction of this arena began, the Ashlen family made a huge contribution, and invested more than just a huge piece of land! However, the Ashlen family generally does not participate in the day-to-day operation and management of this arena, and only sends people to supervise the finances......

Ye Guyun immediately frowned: "Why?"

"It's simple! Because of the disparity in power! The Ashlen family accounts for half of the ownership, and if they participate in the management, there is no way to check and balance at all, and they will definitely succeed in promoting anything, even if it is a big mistake! In order to avoid this bad situation, simply withdraw from the management and enjoy the high share of ownership with peace of mind......

"Oh, I was really surprised that the major shareholder was safely excluded from the management, and everyone didn't think it was a strange thing!"

"However, the long-term success proves that this approach is correct!"

"You're right, you're right! Tell me, is this written into the agreement?"

"No, it's just a convention. ”

"Routine? ”

"Hey, what's your idea? My gut tells me you've got some evil intentions!"

"Why did you tell you?"

......

......

Ferreira came, with his men, laughing.

When he came up, he taunted Ye Guyun and his party: "Morning~!Saphius!What??Bring this group of scum to inspect your tomb early in the morning?Don't worry! No! Even if you die here, the body will be properly buried and buried elsewhere, and you don't have to worry about being buried here, unless-unless you scum are bombarded to the point that there is no scum left!"

Ferreira likes to dominate people with his momentum, and he does have a strong momentum that can subdue others, so he can often force his opponents into a mess with just one face. This time was no exception, since the repression, everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to speak.

But there are always exceptions, and it's not Ye Guyun who takes it for granted, but-

"Hey~!Who is this noisy golden retriever?"

Eve gently tugged at Ye Guyun's sleeve and asked curiously. Oh! Eve could swear all sorts of promises to God, and it wasn't for any ulterior purpose to ask this question, it was purely out of confusion, she really didn't know who Ferreira was, and when Ferreira arrived in Crescent City, she had already fallen into a deep sleep, and she hadn't seen this guy until a few minutes ago!

As for the less friendly wording in the discourse, that's a different kind of question - who makes you so annoying?

Ferreira was furious, with every reason to be angry, "Noise, Golden Retriever, Damn!!", but when he tried to express his attitude in the most intense way, he froze-

He knew that his wife Abella was very beautiful, and he also knew that the three maids who were angry with him on the day of arrival were very beautiful, and he knew that Gianna, who especially moved his heart, was very beautiful, but in front of the little girl in front of him, they were all compared, and they were all compared to each other......

She seems to be able to satisfy all the world's imagination of beauty......

Can such a dreamy woman really exist in the world?
