Chapter 22: An Unexpected Gladiatorial Match (Part I)

Half to "pick up a few wild brutes who can see it", half to visit the indigenous monuments, and after taking a nap, Mike rode the centaur to the Colosseum.

Located southeast of Port Carlin, less than three kilometers from the sea, the Colosseum is one of the most famous buildings in Port Carlin and one of the three largest in the world. The entire building covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, with a circumference of nearly 500 meters, and can accommodate 80,000 spectators.

Of course, it is absolutely inevitable that it will be destroyed, relocated, and rebuilt in the past 8,000 years, but according to the Kalinshan people themselves, the current Grand Arena, which was rebuilt for the nth time two hundred years ago, was renovated from the remains of the original ancient Hippodrome, so it is a continuation of the ancient Hippodrome, and the history should naturally be counted as 8,000 years.

8,000 years or 200 years, Mike thinks it can be regarded as a monument of civilization, so he is quite looking forward to it.

"If the owner wants to watch the gladiatorial battles between the strong, I suggest that it is better to watch the indoor competition. "He used to be a narrator for the centaur mount, which the gladiators knew a lot about.

"Oh, what's the reasoning? Isn't the open-air venue bigger, and the extra tickets sold are a lot of money. "Arsenal is overpriced and the stadium is full, and the matchday income is still not as good as Real Madrid's Barcelona, not because the stadium is not big enough.

"It's because there are so many spectators...... Centaur sighed, "even in exhibition matches, there are often spectators plotting gladiators, and there is no way to start a gambling game." ”

"I see...... "Mike Khan, I didn't expect this stubble.

There are a variety of prerequisites that must be present for any skill game to attract spectators, one of which is to be able to ensure that the game is not rigged, which is also one of the prerequisites for opening a game.

It is easy to avoid gladiators releasing water and the losers die, it is also possible to avoid the organizers from doing tricks and feet, and strengthen monitoring, but if you want to avoid the interference of powerful and bold spectators, it is so difficult that it can fly.

If the spectator wants to see the game clearly, the position should not be too far away from the gladiator, usually about 20 meters is more appropriate, neither too far to see the details and not so close that the gladiator can accidentally injure him. If you are not particularly looking for visual effects, then it is acceptable within 100 meters.

For a master of hidden weapons, it is not difficult to hurt people with a quenching flying needle at twenty meters, and it can be done as long as you are well prepared fifty meters away. For high-end mages, it is normal to attack with spells at fifty meters, and there are many methods that can be used two hundred meters away.

In this case, it is difficult to avoid "enthusiastic spectators" and "participate in the game" in the outdoor competition where the spectators are unobstructed.

The situation of the indoor competition is much better, you can use a box to isolate the audience from the players, the audience and the audience from each other, block the hidden weapon with a glass wall, and detect the spell with a magic monitoring circle, which can make the difficulty of "enthusiastic spectators" "participate in the game" increase sharply, and basically ensure the normal order of the gladiatorial fight. However, the downside of this method is that the size of the venue is severely limited, and many competitions cannot be held.

Therefore, it is common for high-level singles competitions to be held indoors, team competitions to be held outdoors, and exhibition competitions and low-level competitions to be held both indoors and outdoors.

"In that case, let's go to the Colosseum and take a look first. "It's just a wild barbarian, you should be able to pick it up sooner or later, or sightseeing.

Then, Mike was stunned by the gladiator who entered: Isn't that a simulacrum No. 1?!How did he get here?!!

More than half a month ago, when Mike sent the No. 1 simulacrum, he was tasked with buying a group of slaves who looked sluggish and then buying a paddle boat, and then locked the slaves in the cabin and pedaled around an unnamed desert island every day. Boring and repetitive activities can easily obscure the passage of time, and with dream and suggestion, it can effectively distort people's sense of time. Mike intends to use this tactic to make them think that he has been sailing for nearly a year, creating a false impression to mislead possible investigators. never expected that the plot would unfold like this.

Just listen to the magic amplification: "Good afternoon, good afternoon, everyone, it's 2:25, the gladiators have begun to play, and the wonderful show will begin immediately." The Red side is the Good Luck Gold Coin Team, formed by Bell, a wealthy merchant from Am, with a total of 11 members. Although it has only been established for ten days, it has already been fortunate to have two consecutive victories, and we have been very impressed by the shield-bearer Haku and the spear-bearer Red. Today they will take on the brutal ogre Cecyris. It will be interesting to see if the newly formed Gold of Good Luck will continue their good fortune, or if they will be defeated and slaughtered like the ogre Ceciris!"

'What the hell is going on here?!'

"What about the Good Luck Coins?"

"It's been almost two months since I was injured and sold to the clubhouse......" the centaur was uneasy.

"Excuse me, sir, do you know about that gold of good luck?"

"I don't know, I don't come often. ”

"This young lady ......"

"Cehiris I know a little bit, a new face that appeared more than a month ago......"

"This ......"

"I don't know, just ask the guy in red, he's a regular. ”

"This gentleman ......"

"Hillbilly, stay away from me. ”

'I'm your uncle!'

"I don't know the details of that team, but I heard that it seems that Amgen wants to win the gladiatorial prize, so he bought some slaves to make up the numbers. Stupid, stupid, is the grand prize so easy to get, see if the ogre doesn't kill them to the point of blood. But thanks to these endless idiots, we don't get too bored. The richly dressed man in red immediately became cooperative, but unfortunately there was still nothing substantial.

"The distance between the two sides is already very close, and the good luck gold coin is ready to ...... Oh, Cehiris charged and cut down a spearman, burst in, and cut down another, and another. Cehiris is on a killing spree, and the situation of the Good Luck Gold Coin today is not very optimistic, if their good luck does not appear soon, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

"I'm your uncle! Good luck, Lao Tzu gives it to you!

The ogre, who was chasing the north, immediately fell under his feet.

"Good luck, good luck gold. Cechiris stepped on a stone and lost his balance, could the Gold of Good Luck use this as an opportunity to turn the tide of defeat? Well, the Gold of Good Luck is still retreating, and it seems that they are not prepared to seize this opportunity to fight back quickly, but at least they have been given room to regroup. In the previous two gladiatorial battles, the shield player Haku knocked out his shield and stunned his opponent, and the spear discarded by the spearman Red slipped over the enemy, both of which laid the foundation for victory. This time, we were not able to make a contribution, because the opponent was too strong, or whether it was just the good luck of the opponent's bad luck and good luck gold coins just now has not really been played, please wait and see. ”

Mike couldn't wait for a fireball to blast that commentary, Lao Tzu's stand-in life hangs by a thread, and you're still talking cool there.

"How does a gladiatorial fight end?"

"It's an exhibition match, you don't have to live or die, as long as you can survive a certain amount of time. The centaur looked around, "Thirty minutes left, there's a timing card there." ”

Don't say 30 minutes, that group of waste wood can't even hold on for three minutes, who TM* set this rule, so long the child was born. I still have to find another way to see if I can use the haze technique to cover up and turn the simulacrum into a cat and take it away. Combined with the effect of silent ghost surgery. ’

The offensive 5th order spell Malicious Transformation Mike didn't remember today, so he can only use the auxiliary 4th order transformation technique, which must contact the opponent and the opponent is willing to accept it to take effect. The sirarum can't resist the ontology's spells, and contact can also rely on second-order ghost surgery - the mages have specially researched this spell for this purpose. The effect of the spell is to create a ghost hand that can only carry contact spells, and instead of the caster touching the target to release the spell, the range of the ghost hand and the duration of its existence are related to the caster's level, and Mike uses it for about sixty meters and a quarter of an hour.

"Good luck gold coin retreated to the edge of the field and regrouped, in the face of the pressing ogre Ceciris, how are they going to fight back? they, they broke and fled again, what a disappointment, wait, someone was caught, although it was blocked by the ogre and couldn't see clearly, but judging by the sexy long legs, it should be the charming Miss Sevina. Oh no, ugly ogre, what do you want to do......"

Mike was speechless. But that's fine, you can last more than thirty minutes, but when you suddenly encounter this kind of thing, most of the spells you prepare are not suitable, and it's really difficult to kill ogres without a trace.

However, the simulacrum Bell seemed to have other ideas, and with a loud shout, he raised his sword and rushed towards the ogre.

Mike had the urge to strangle him, and he endured it after scrapping some wood, but he didn't even have the basic IQ to see the situation clearly, what is it?'

"Good luck gold coins good luck again. Bell, a wealthy merchant, took off his wrestling weapon and stabbed the ogre in the shin with a flying heavy sword. But it seems that the other party's injury is not serious, and sure enough, because the opponent is too strong, it can't be solved by luck. Oh, they suddenly turned dark there, what is the situation, it seems that the rich merchant Bell who was lying on the ground secretly used the dark spell, a very clever tactic, pretending to fall to the ground to cover the spell, and then to break the enemy with one blow, please let us wait and see...... "'Is the arrangement under the field activated, I hope it can be sooner, last time the group of waste wood almost messed things up in front of thousands of people. ’

I don't know who put this dark spell on Mike, anyway, the simurum definitely doesn't have that ability, and he didn't prepare this spell today. But it doesn't matter, Dingmofa Deformation + Dingmofa Stealth Technique, manipulate the ghost hand to touch the simulacrum with memory, and then use the mind remote control to catch an invisible cat. Hey, I didn't faint, I still dared to struggle, and the psychic remote control hit broke out again!

"I went to the bathroom, and this so-called performance was disgusting. "Teleport back while the dark spell is still in place, otherwise there may be trouble in the chaos.

"Nice hosts. The centaur was excited, and his expression was as usual. Although the flexible Warlock spell can be found silently, the mage spell that needs to be prepared in advance is far less convenient, and can only be disguised by the noise of the audience, and those who are far away or have no vision may be concealed, but the centaur is close and has some eyes, and has already detected the hidden identity of someone who is enthusiastic about the audience. 'Aha, this is a big arena known as 30 years of safe gladiatorial fighting without accidents, it is really my good master, as soon as he came, he gave me such a big meeting gift, how much can the bounty be? ’

Unaware that the newly picked up barbarian was already planning to sell his lord for glory, the angry Mike quickly found a place where no one was able to perform teleportation, went to the nameless desert island where the slave ship was supposed to go around in circles, and then splashed cold water on the unknown simulacrum cat to prepare for his lesson. Then he was shocked to find that the water cat on the ground had turned into a woman with slender legs.

“......”

A little later, somewhere outside the Colosseum.

"You're really doing this too much, don't you know what I'm capable of, if it's not something I want to know more, it's easy to find a chance to get out. Sevina, Savina, why did I faint, did I just grab too hard, sorry. Thankfully, Transfiguration doesn't last long, and you'll soon be able to revert back to your original ...... How could it be you?!" The ogre Cecillis was shocked to see the kitten in his arms turn into a man, the wealthy merchant Bell.

“......”

On the other side of the Colosseum, the dark spell was still working, and the gladiatorial fight continued to "go on normally" in the darkness.

"Although the sight of the audience and friends has been affected now, for the sake of the fairness of the gladiatorial fight, the arena cannot directly dispel spells, so I will continue to explain it to you. I can clearly see that the captain of the Good Luck Gold Coins, the rich merchant Bell, and his sexy beauty Savina are acting cautiously under the cover of darkness, whether they are ready to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, or simply want to stall for time and wait for the game to end, let's guess......"

"Fuck you!"

"Ogres don't come out, when we're idiots!!"

"Put your wife on the stage!!"

"The audience was very enthusiastic, and the cheers were higher and higher. The narrator continued to explain sweatingly, it had been five minutes, why hadn't that group of waste firewood done it yet, wasn't it just a woman. Or did the ogre make a mistake, didn't the bastards tell it how to cooperate before they ended?!

For a sexy and charming female challenger like Savina, the arena doesn't want to be really hot, if you can use a little trick at the critical moment, let her end safely, and continue to live in a different way in the future, wouldn't it be hello, I'm good, everyone, why not.

"Oh, there's a change, the darkness on the field has been dispelled by the enthusiastic crowd! Although the audience may like this situation, I still have to remind everyone to be a civilized spectator and not interfere with the game. With that out of the way, I'll continue to explain it to you. In the face of this unexpected change, how will the good luck coins respond? Aren't the wealthy merchants Bell and Sevina fleeing separately, aren't they ready to resist, wow, Bell was knocked down by the giant sword thrown by the ogre Ceciris, it seems that he is not very lucky today. The ogre starts chasing Sevina, oh no, ugly ogre, what do you want to do to sexy Miss Savina......"

The noise of the audience gradually changed to something else.

'The ogre is not the same as just now!!'

"I'm your uncle!" In different places and at different moments, the three of them all let out a very passionate cry.
