Chapter 13: Old Friends
Heroes, Arena Kings, Undefeated Orcs?
After five consecutive victories in gladiatorial fights, countless brilliance and glory have been added to Abdul-Jabbar. But what is all this? a title of nothingness......
And all the glory can't be exchanged for a simple freedom.
"They don't put glory on our heads, they want to continue to enslave us. These vain titles are not worth fighting for, to care about, they are not glory at all, they are the spiritual shackles that human beings have brought to us, let us continue to fight for them, and provide them with beautiful competitive games. ”
Abdul-Jabbar, who had just finished a gladiatorial match, returned to his cell and said this to the orcs beside him. The slave owner, Oros, sent a female orc to Jabbar, but Jabbar only took her into a cell and did not mean to eat her. Without the permission of the leader, none of the orcs present dared to touch the leader's trophies, including Gulf, who had been knocked down by Jabbar's punch earlier.
"Then when can we riot and go out together?"
The young orc Brock asked anxiously.
"It's not the time yet, I'm looking for another chance. ”
Jabbar sat in the middle of the orcs and replied thoughtfully.
"Hey, that orc, there's someone looking for you. ”
Just as Abdul-Jabbar was deep in thought, a haughty shout from outside the cage rang out from the guards.
Is anyone looking for me? Does anyone in this place know me? Abdul-Jabbar has taken the name of Sarah, and who else will know me? An inexplicable worry came from the bottom of my heart, if anyone wanted to meet him, he would know his identity, and if not, it was because he was famous, and there were other nobles who wanted to dig into the wall and buy himself as their gladiator. But no matter what, going to see this person is unavoidable.
Out of the cage, Jabbar was once again chained in heavy chains. Even if he was a star in the arena before, he was a "hero". But now, as soon as he gets out of this prison, his hands are firmly chained, and seven or eight human guards follow him, fully armed......
The owner of the Graeme Gladiator School, the human nobleman who bought Abdul-Jabbar, had surprisingly strict rules about the management of the school, even if the orcs were out of the prison, they had to be blindfolded and removed when they arrived at the training ground, in order to prevent the captives from knowing the inner workings of the school. It was because of this that Jabbar was unable to find a way out of the prison for two months.
I don't know how long I was chained like this, Jabbar felt like he was being stuffed into a small room, judging by the sound of the iron lock opening, it should be a small door lock, so it should be a single cell, then, the person who wants to meet him should be outside this cell. Abdul-Jabbar thought so, and the next moment, when the black cloth was removed from his eyes, the scene in front of him confirmed Abdul-Jabbar's suspicions.
It was indeed a very small cell, and it didn't look like it was used to hold orcs, and it was about the same as a human woman, and the space was so small......
"Stand down, I'm going to talk to this orc alone. ”
"Then be careful, he has a bad temper and is prone to rage. ”
"yes, I see. ”
Jabbar was put in a single cell, and some trivial conversation rang out from outside the door, and from the sound of the conversation, it was supposed to be the voice of a mature woman. Wait, that's a familiar sound.
The conversation outside the door had gradually stopped, and the dilapidated wooden door was slowly pushed open by a pair of thin hands.
"Esalivan?!"
Abdul-Jabbar was about to shout, but for a split second, Esalivan made a 'shhh And the clever Abdul-Jabbar quickly understood what this meant.
It turned out to be an old friend I hadn't seen for many years. One of the hardcore five friends who ventured into the world together back then, uh, no, Esalivan is a girl...... It's just that the years have passed, and the youthful human girl has now become a mature and elegant aristocratic lady......
"How did you know I was here?"
When we met for the first time in a decade, Abdul-Jabbar was undoubtedly excited. The orc uncle was eager to hug Essalivan first, but the damn iron railing blocked the originally warm scene.
"That day, you fought in the arena, I saw it. After the gladiatorial fight, I found the arena host and asked for a list, and then I knew that you had changed your name, so I followed the list to find the owner of this gladiator academy. ”
Asalivan has always been very smart, there is no doubt about this, when everyone went on adventures together, this human female mage can always come up with ingenious ways to get out of danger again and again, and Asalivan is also very talented in playing tricks and learning magic, and she is very smart, Abdul-Jabbar traveled to another world, and the only time she was teased was when she met Aeryven for the first time.
"Okay, so how have you been doing all these years?"
Asalivan finished speaking, and Abdul-Jabbar asked. But this question made the female mage confused, at such a critical moment, the orc uncle was still concerned about these little things in life, and he had to wait until he went out to continue......
"I don't have time to talk about this now, I'm here to get you out. Let's plan how we're going to get you out of this prison. ”
Asalivan whispered and hurriedly, this meeting can't be too long, otherwise, the Graeme guards outside the house will be suspicious, and Asalivan can only see Jabbar once, and the number of requests to meet is too much, and the owner of the gladiator academy, Olos, will also be suspicious.
"Well, that's what I'm thinking about. I've been locked up here for more than two months, and I still don't know anything about the structure of this gladiator academy, and now, the orcs in the prison are willing to follow me, but without the key to the prison and without weapons, it will be difficult for us to escape. ”
Abdul-Jabbar said, frowning.
"I can get a map of this gladiator school, but I can't get weapons. ”
"No, when I opened the prison door, I told all my companions to go out with their bare hands. ”
"No, that's too risky, as long as Oros places archers on the high walls around this gladiator academy, you won't be able to escape. ”
In the small separate cell, the orc uncle Abdul-Jabbar and the human mage Asalivan whispered through the bar, while the guards outside the door leaned in the crack of the door to eavesdrop, but they couldn't hear anything, because both Abdul-Jabbar and Asalivan kept their voices to a minimum.
"By the way, how is Leo doing? Do you still have contact with him? Maybe you can ask him for help. ”
Abdul-Jabbar suddenly thought of another good buddy, who was also a comrade-in-arms who lived and died together in World War I. A noble human knight.
"Probably not, you know? Ever since Hradi launched his raid on the orcs, Leo and I have gone to him and advised him not to wage war against the orcs and to avoid any more bloodshed of innocent people. But Hradi didn't listen at all, and relieved me of my position at the Mage Academy. Leo was also relieved of his duties as head of the Order and sent to the border to guard a desolate border fortress. ”
Esalivan explained sadly, and it was only at this time that Jabbar knew that the accident was caused by Hradi.
"Fake. He shouldn't have been saved in the first place, let him die in the pile of the dead, and there wouldn't be these things now. ”
Jabbar punched the wall and let out a low, muffled roar.
