Chapter Twenty-Four: The Black Hand
"He's more like a Quint than I am, maybe you'll have to check if he's been blessed by the god of power, his strength is so great that it's hard for me to resist. After the first game of the second day, the defeated Quint complained to the official organisers, and some troubadours wrote down his complaints.
Once upon a time, troubadours represented romance and poetry, but when they found themselves chanting ten hymns or chanting a complete epic chapter rather than telling some gossip, this particular group of professions changed their way of life. They are more like reporters at this time, reporting some novel things through their mouths. A lot of tavern owners liked these people, and as soon as they appeared, the taverns were often overcrowded, and people liked to learn about the world through troubadours.
Somewhere an evil monster has appeared and a new hero has been born in the human race, a god has come down from a sacred mountain, fallen in love with a human girl/boy, given birth to a demigod hero and then brutally died, and an unknown gladiator has successfully defeated a long-established gladiator and set out on his quest to the top.
Even the little things in the world can become something that people talk about in this age of lack of entertainment.
During the Winter Contest, the well-known and unknown, mainstream and non-mainstream troubadours of the Eastern Regions gather backstage in the gladiatorial arena of miracles to interview winners and losers who will be the fodder for their survival for the coming year. As for whether one of these stories will be changed into a story that stirs people (lustful) hearts (lustful), it depends on their professional ethics.
The Gentry had just been beaten by a Gaussbit named Rosie and conceded defeat, and the Gentry obviously did not admit defeat after exiting, he was defeated by the Gosbit with a two-handed axe and a tower shield and a one-handed axe, and it was still the kind of defeat after the collision of pure power and flesh, which was difficult for him to bear. When did the Gaussbit people also grow in strength and flesh?
That guy must have cheated, he must have received the blessing of some god of power or god of war, so he can have such strength.
There is also a consortium behind this Quint man, and he originally wanted to make a splash in this winter competition, but he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel, and the teacher was unfavorable, so he said goodbye to the competition in the first round. The consortium behind him has lost a huge amount of wealth and connections because of this, and he also complains a lot, if he doesn't handle it well, maybe he, the future gladiator star, will be sent to a certain mine with a hammer and chisel to knock stones for the rest of his life.
Maybe the people behind him are strong, or maybe Rossi won too unacceptable. When Rosie returned backstage, he was immediately inspected by the five demigod heroes.
"It's not fair, you can't be treated like this just because he's won a Quint in strength!", the Dellet shouted loudly as he stood in front of Rossi. There is a saying that is true, the truth is not on anyone's side because of whose voice is louder. The officials of the congress did not take the Delat seriously, and were not even willing to look down at him.
"I'm sorry, but the other side has complained to the conference, we have to enforce the preliminary bill, and if there are no problems with your players, you should support our inspection. The official demigod hero of the conference is neither humble nor arrogant, and a little tough. It's not hard to understand this, after all, they have the support of several gods behind them, and no one can force them to do what they don't want to do, and they can't stop them from carrying out their duties.
The Delite's argument was actually a gesture, and he understood that this was a process that had to be followed, and he took this opportunity just to show his presence and strength," Lord Vadeseus was also very concerned about Rossi, and they had a cordial conversation yesterday. ”
As soon as they heard the name of the Archon of Iron Horse City, these five demigod heroes suddenly felt that it was tricky. Vadesius is very weak, just an ordinary human, but behind him is Iron Horse City and a god of the god system, which has to be feared.
The attitude of the five demigods immediately softened, and there was a soft smile on their stiff faces.
The first demigod god was a certain god of fire, he covered Rossi's forehead with one hand, and for a while, a rushing hot current surged along the palm of his hand and the part where his forehead was close to him, and quickly circled around Rossi's body, not letting go of every trace, which made Rosie feel a little disgusted at the same time, but also a little curious. This power obviously came from the gods, but how exactly it worked, and how it differed from the power of prayer, was the focus of Rossi's attention.
This heat flow came and went quickly, and after a while, the demigod withdrew his palm and bowed slightly, "No problem, no divine source was found." He glanced at the other demigod beside him and stepped aside.
The five of them tested Rosie's body in a row, and the attributes of the five people were different from the god lineage, but the result was the same, that is, Rosie had not received any blessings from the gods, and his power to defeat the Quints was purely generated by his body, not anything else.
With a conclusion, the Quint side will be easy to deal with.
After the five left, the face of the Dellet darkened, and he said to Rossi: "Be careful in the future, don't let anyone else touch your body, there are many shady things here." If it weren't for moving out of Vadesius, who knows if these people would have gone mad?!"
Rosie was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
The Delat sneered and said, "He injected the divine source power into your body, as long as he wanted, let the divine power run wild, and your body would be ruined." Even if it's time to find the tournament official, they will say that it was an accident, and give some gold and it's over. There are a lot of extremely good gladiators who have been destroyed here, this is a war Rosie, you must not underestimate the shamelessness of your opponent!"
As soon as the Dellet explained this, Rosie understood. The investors behind the Quint don't want to see their investment go down the drain, so they transfer their hatred from the Quint to Rossi, even if the investment fails, it won't make the culprit of their investment failure better. Money and connections are not scarce things for these powerful people, and it only takes a small amount of money and a few insignificant favors to make Rosie die, so why not?
It's just that they didn't expect that behind Rossi, in addition to the inconspicuous Provençal and Delite, there were also big names like Valdeseus.
"Can you know their names and the city-state they are in?"
"It's not difficult, it's easy to get." ”
Rosie smiled humbly, "Please get me one." “
"What would you do if I had a knife hidden behind me now, and I was going to stab you, even though I didn't make a move in the end, but you knew about it? Thank you that I didn't stab you? or take revenge?", the smile on Rossi's face remained the same, but the Dellett saw a dangerous glint in his eyes, "I'm not a difficult person to speak, but I am definitely not a good person to talk to. ”
A few beads of sweat leaked from the corner of the forehead of the Delite inexplicably, and he raised his hand to wipe it, "Don't worry, I'll find you their information when I go back." ”
"Thank you!"
While the two were talking, the poisonous wolf ran over from a distance, with a frightened face, and when he ran to the two of them, he pinched his waist and gasped for breath, and said intermittently in a frightened voice: "Water...... Water Monster ...... There it is!"
