Chapter 23 Lack of Faith
Even if the whole world abandons you, you can't abandon yourself.
On the fifth day, Asalivan still didn't come, maybe something had gone wrong with the rescue plan? Jabbar thought in his cell, but couldn't come up with any answers. Humanity may be more cunning than previously thought.
"Sarah. ”
Outside the prison gate, the human guards shouted coldly.
"What's the matter?"
Jabbar stood up from the orc pile and walked to the door. This is indeed the posture of a slave, he was a human being in his previous life, and he has never suffered this kind of sin, it is simply a double torture of body and spirit, but after crossing over, he will suffer the fate of this ghost animal. In front of me, a "security guard" who holds a subsistence allowance every month can call for wind and rain to himself, me.
"The master is looking for you. ”
The guard said coldly, without a trace of expression on his face, unable to tell whether it was contempt or pity, perhaps neither mentality, but simply relaying orders. The owner of this gladiator academy is looking for himself again, what is the matter? and still free? No, this is unlikely, Olos is not a man of promise, Abdul-Jabbar knows this. It's not always a good thing to find yourself at this time.
was hurriedly taken out of the cell, and every time Jabbar was taken out of the cage, the orcs around him always couldn't help but be restless, but Jabbar endured it all the time, and everyone endured it too. If it is going to break out, take away all the villains and lackeys in this prison in one wave, and before it breaks out again, just endure it, this is Abdul-Jabbar's philosophy of doing things.
Still blindfolded by the black cloth, Jabbar was led by the guards through a long passageway, but by touch and hearing, he didn't know if it was a corridor or a playground. After that, I climbed a long flight of stairs, about three floors, and I could faintly hear the priest praying, which meant that there was a monastery nearby. Eventually, the guards took the orc to a quiet place, and Abdul-Jabbar guessed that this was the place where he and Oros would meet alone, but they must have been in chains again.
"Sarah. ”
In the darkness, a middle-aged man's voice came in. There is no doubt that this is Olos.
The black cloth was torn off the blindfold, and in front of him was the top floor of a monastery, the white walls were carved with statues of various demigods, and human priests walked around, as if performing some kind of ritual. Olos sat on a chair at the end of the monastery, and above it was a small statue of Tyrese.
Only then did Abdul-Jabbar understand why the gods believed in by humans in this world were not willing to help them at all in most cases, because they were no longer the pure human race they were at the beginning, and most people had a dark side in their hearts, praying to Tyrese, just to atone for their sins, and doing bad things, and saying a few times I was wrong, I hoped that the gods would forgive themselves, this Nima deceived herself, no wonder during the entire orc war, there was almost no knight or priest who was favored by the Holy Light, even in the most critical moment when the undead attacked the city. Now, the human slave owner sits in the middle of the hall, not knowing what to say.
"Sara, you're the best gladiator I've ever met......"
"I've fought 100 gladiatorial matches and survived. ”
Before Olos could finish speaking, Abdul-Jabbar directly interrupted the cunning human. I know with my ass that this human slave owner will not let himself go so easily, what free body, what fate is in his own hands, these are all put p, gladiators are slave owners' money-making tools, which nobleman will let go of his cash cow so easily, the so-called 100 games can be free, is a disguise, a nihilistic goal, but Abdul-Jabbar inadvertently pierced this layer of lies, now, look at these cunning human nobles What else to say?
"You survived? How did I not know?"
Abdul-Jabbar didn't want to go around the bush with the ugly human in front of him, and he was straight to the point. And in this case, Olos will not go around the bush and get straight to the point.
Didn't you survive? Jabbar didn't understand for a moment what the cunning human lord in front of him meant by saying this? Could it be that he was going to kill himself now? This is the rhythm of preferring to be broken and not allowed to be complete.
"Say whatever you want. ”
Jabbar replied directly, and then looked at the face of Olos in front of him from fake kindness to eerie and cunning. It's like a vicious wolf thinking about how to capture its prey, but what to do, Olos must have thought about it in advance.
"Sarah, from this day onwards, you will no longer be called Sarah, I have given you a new name - Bram. From this day forward, you're not the king of the arena in Calvanas, but in another city, an ordinary arena gladiator, oh, not even a gladiator, just an ordinary little slave, and you're going to kill 100 more gladiators by your own efforts, and maybe then, you can get the freedom you want?"
Olos spoke slowly, and six or seven guards pressed Jabbar tightly to his chair......
In order to prevent everyone from talking about it and maintain the apparent promise of the human slave owner, Oros actually thought of such a trick and transported himself to other cities thousands of miles away, where he continued to perform, so that the people and slaves there would not know him, and the human Olos could justifiably tell everyone that the orc gladiator named Sara had been freed by his master's pardon. If you want to be on the safe side, you can even disfigure yourself first, and then continue to fight in other cities......
**, it was a huge mistake to unite the human race at the beginning! Abdul-Jabbar thought, but now the facts have been like this, but you can't blame the original decision was wrong, the original human race was so full of justice under the leadership of Rowan and Alonso, who knew that 10 years later, a new king, it would become like this.
Seeing Olos's triumphant look, Jabbar couldn't wait to pounce on him and tear it off with one hand. But more than a dozen human guards are surrounded by him, fully armed, and he is chained, even if he is very capable, he can't do anything with him, unless he is a mage, but he is not, just a warrior, at most, his fighting skills and strength are stronger than other orcs, and the power of the elements will not help him to avenge himself, the elements are very noble, they will only be pleaded and summoned in the face of great justice.
Calvanas, Wandering Poets' Inn.
"Beauty, I said, do you really plan to rob the prison? Those guards are also human beings, your kind, and besides, they are just taking the salary of that nobleman, and they are not the culprits, and when the time comes, they really want to fight with them, aren't they implicating innocent people?"
Jabbar is tormented by Oros on the top floor of the monastery, while Eminem and Essalivan are unaware and continue to plan how to rescue their best friends. It's not that Eminem didn't listen to Eminem's words, but in the face of the human nobleman Oros who was obsessed with interests, even Asalivan had no other way, and the gun was out of power, maybe simple violence was the ultimate solution to all problems, just like orcs......
"I'll try to use control spells, and as soon as I rescue Jabbar, we'll pull out, trying not to hurt the guards. ”
Essalivan looked pained. And it was only at this time that this human female mage realized the helplessness when Abdul-Jabbar "betrayed" her race.
