Leaving Casavalon's study with Alev, Zal was very satisfied with the results of the trip, not only getting a very substantial contract, but also unexpectedly getting help from the Efaran family. Although neither Zar nor the half-elf were sure how much Casavalon's promise would be fulfilled, judging from the order just given, the other party should not be just talking, otherwise, the cost of loss would be too great.

As for joining the Efaran family, or whitewashing or anything like that, Zar didn't care about it at all. It's like a person who is extremely thirsty and doesn't care whether it's cold or lukewarm water in front of him, as long as it solves the problem and isn't poison, that's enough.

Therefore, not only did Zal agree, but until it was time to leave, he did not ask questions such as "what if I never left Wind Cliff City" or "how to determine my weekly salary after the season". Because for him, the opportunity is just like this, and if he is asked to wait for another five years, it will be no different from announcing the death penalty in disguise.

Alev, who walked in front, held a leather document bag in his hand, which he had specially found to keep the "forgiveness document". For the sake of the Lord God, looking at his careful movements, it was like the document bag in his hand was more important than his life, and he was not even willing to fold it.

I don't know if it was because of excitement or something else, his mouth hasn't stopped since he left the study. Moreover, both Zal and Cadius could feel that the attitude of the secretary had obviously changed, and he was no longer the kind of "business" between the sponsor and the grantee, but had become a lot closer, and there was a hint of concern.

“...... Your weekly salary will be calculated from this day onwards, and the part of the period less than one calendar period will be paid on the first day of each week by cash voucher. "Personally, I recommend that you go to the 'Goblin Vault' and open an account. This way we can deposit your paycheck directly to your exclusive account. He added, "Besides, you know the goblins, even if Wind Cliff City falls, their treasury will be safe and sound!"

Zar chuckled, thinking of the green-skinned guy at Treasure Bay. "That's true......"

Mr. Secretary shrugged his shoulders. Go on. "In addition, members who have just joined the vassal family and have served the family for five years can go to the Wind Cliff City Administration Hall of the 'Wind Breath Cloud Terrace' to apply for the 'Wind Breath Cloud Terrace Residence Documents' and the 'Wind Cliff City Cloud Terrace Pass Documents' issued by the City Lord himself......"

Zar and the half-elves were stunned, something they had never heard of before. "I'm sorry, what do you mean?" asked Kadius.

Aleph looked back and smiled understandingly, this is indeed not something that the residents of the "Conviction Terrace" can know. "Because the situation in Wind Cliff City is different from the traditional mining system after all. He said, "There are no fiefdoms here, and due to the population of the 'Wind Breath Cloud Tower', many families attached to the high nobility may even slowly die out after a few generations, and the process is faster than in the outer realms." ”

He paused and said. "Therefore, many high-ranking nobles living in Wind Cliff City will regularly select suitable subjects from among the children sent to the 'Wind Breath Cloud Terrace' for training. Finally, he was recruited as a member of his own family. He said and pointed to himself, "Just like me." That's how my grandfather became part of the Efaran family. ”

Alev turned to look at Zal again. "And little Leila, whom you know very well," he said, "she is the playmate with whom Miss's father has chosen to join the family and has grown up with Miss." He smiled and shook his head, "Because of the duty." I spend most of the year in the Conviction Tower, but in fact, my family lives in the Efaran family estate in the Wind Breath Tower. ”

He smiled happily as he spoke, a gentle look on his face. "We're going to have a long vacation after this 'Blood Arena'. He exhaled, "Lord God, it is the happiest time of the year!" Aleph finally said, "This is the purpose of the dwelling and the passing—to give you a home of your own beyond the abyss of sin, in a pure land full of light and warmth." ”

After Alev finished speaking, the eyes that looked at Zal flashed with the most resolute light, which was the firmness that could protect the beloved with his life. Zar sighed softly in the bottom of his heart, in a way, he knew this power better than anyone else, what can you give for the people standing behind you? everything, I mean, everything.

At the same time, Zal really admired the Wind Cliff City Lord who always wore a bright silver mask and was always "the same person". He and his ancestors used unparalleled wisdom and skill to find a way to move towards order in the chaos on the "Conviction Cloud Terrace", and found the strength to unite people's hearts in the loneliness on the "Wind Breath Cloud Platform". Perhaps, this is the reason why Wind Cliff City has been able to stand on the Eloline Continent for more than two hundred years without falling, Zal said to himself in his heart.

"And what about the Archon's 'Ruling Hand', do they have both instruments as well?" asked Zar, as if curious.

Alev was stunned for a moment and shook his head in disbelief. "Of course, ...... Zar," he said, "they were only granted temporary residence and passage papers, and the consuls were held accountable for their actions." If there is an accident or problem, it is a felony involving the laws of Windcliff City. "What's more, their privileges will be stripped of their privileges as soon as the consul steps down, and they will be reverted to being the villains living in the 'condemnation platform'." ”

Zar and the half-elf listened and looked at each other. They also basically understood why the "hand of judgment" would be so loyal to the consuls who promoted them, which was basically the most solid interest relationship. Even if it wasn't for the consul's bounty on them, even for their own privileges, they would desperately help each other keep their current positions.

The secretary then patted the file bag. "These are the differences with you, Zal. He said, "The 'forgiveness document' is already the highest-level 'contract' that the city lord's direct vassal can come up with." So far, the Efaran family has only signed out three copies...... Honestly, you scared me, Zal, hahaha......" he laughed.

Zal shook his head modestly, but Cadius sighed. "I didn't expect that there was such a thing as a 'forgiveness document' on the gimbal......" He slammed Zhal's shoulder hard. "In the name of Gorinthia, you've got a big bargain, boy!"

Alev Street picked up. "It's normal that you don't know, because when the gladiators registered, they only announced the contract salary and the terms of the sharing. It is not contractual, so it is difficult for ordinary residents to understand the inside story. ”

As he spoke, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. "Actually, don't say you, even me, I only learned about this when I was learning the iron laws of the Efaran family. "I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes." He even went to check in by himself...... he seemed to be recalling something, "The last time the 'forgiveness document' appeared on the gimbal, it should have been more than a hundred years ago...... Almost no. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly slapped his forehead as if remembering something. "Sorry, look at my memory. Where are you going to stay, Zhal, and if you're in the Crystal Cloud Bridge, I'll send someone to set up the room according to your request......"

"No, I don't. Don't ......," Zar said dryly, refusing, "I still don't have to bother with my abode. The place is pretty good now. "He still has a lot of affection for the half-elf cabin, and more importantly, it's much easier to live there. "As for daily training, we still do it at the 'Crystal Cloud Bridge', which is more spacious after all. ”

But Cadius laughed strangely. "That's good news!" rubbing the stubble on his chin, "I can take care of the rent......

Zal listened. Quite simply, he chose to ignore it, and Alev laughed. "Well, that's up to you. He nodded and said to Cadius, "And then there's the training. As well as the medicines, meals, equipment, personnel, etc., as Mr. Casavalon said, the Colosseum will fully cooperate, after all, you are the trainer of Zal, if you still need time, make a list, let's prepare it in advance. ”

Cadius's eyes lit up. "Anything you want?"

"Anything you ask!" Aleph nodded vigorously.

"Haha, you're done, Zal! I swear in the name of the goddess, you're done......" The half-elf laughed and slapped Zal on the shoulder.

"Thank you...... I'm not surprised. Zal said with a wry smile.

The three of them chatted as they walked, and when they returned to the arena, Zar found that the gladiators who had just gathered were still standing there, and there seemed to be a few more of them.

Their expressions were not much different from before, and some even looked in the direction of Zal and shook their heads and spat out. Zal didn't say much, just glanced at it and looked away, on the one hand, he didn't want to have too much intersection with the other party, and on the other hand, the termination of their contract was still due to himself from a certain point of view.

But just as he had taken a few more steps forward, a sudden sound of breaking the air was thrown in the distance! In an instant, Zar stopped Alev behind him, and Cadius, as if he had expected it, crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised the corners of his mouth, and stood still.

"Boom!"

The screeching sound of metal crashed over the battle circle, and "Sishua" swept a faint arc of light above Zhar's head, knocking the flying blades out. Then, with a muffled thud, a long-handled, one-handed axe was nailed to the rammed ground, spewing out a puff of yellow dust.

Across the open space in the field, the two sides looked at each other silently for a moment, and then a human with knotted muscles slowly walked out from the opposite side. "That's good, boy, it's interesting......" he said, grabbing his collar with both hands and tore his shirt aside with a hiss.

"What do you mean by that?" Rogda ......" Aleph asked in a low voice, frowning. Next to him, Cadius seemed to be waiting to see a good show, his eyes full of anticipation. As for Zhal, he had already put away his sword and looked at the man opposite without saying a word.

"What do you mean? Rogda walked to the middle of the battle circle and stood still, looking at Zal from afar. "I wasn't in the arena the other day, and I heard that you were the one who invited Miss Jean herself, right?" he asked.

"Yes, I am. Zal said.

Rogda chuckled. "Looks. Are you already signing?" He nodded to himself, "That's easy, since they're all gladiators of the 'Crystal Cloud Bridge', I don't think you should object to play with me, right?" he twisted his neck. There is a series of crunching sounds.

Without waiting for Zar to speak, Alev spoke first. "I don't think it's necessary......"

"Alright, Master Steward!" the other party interrupted him directly, "don't worry, for the sake of Mademoiselle and Mr. Casavalon, I won't go too far!" As soon as he finished speaking, several gladiators standing behind him burst into laughter.

This time, Alev suddenly stopped talking and narrowed his eyes. After keeping an eye on Rogda-Zal's identity, his attitude towards the rest of the gladiators also changed. In the midst of the other party's laughter, he felt someone suddenly climb on his shoulder, and when he looked back, he saw the half-elf smiling and nodding. "Let them play, if it's not fun, there will always be people who think they can afford to play......"

Alev was stunned. He then laughed in understanding and stepped aside. Meanwhile. Zar had already dumped "Sishua" and "Perishable" to the half-elves, and walked over with his feet up.

"Gladiator of power?" Zar stood across from Rogda, looking up, indeed up. Zal himself was 6 feet 1 inch and weighed 166 pounds, while the other party was much taller than him.

"You're right. Brat. Rogda grinned, revealing a row of shiny teeth, and slammed his fists hard against his chest with a muffled thud.

Zal nodded noncommittally. "Okay, then I don't need the 'power of blessing'. Let's just fight hand-to-hand, how about it?"

Rogda was stunned for a moment, and then puffed, don't talk about him, even the other gladiators standing not far behind him laughed together. "Boy, you brought this on yourself!" he said, laughing enough, tilting his head to stare at Zal.

"You're ...... too"

Rogda's eyebrows furrowed, and the hideousness in his eyes flashed. "Look for death!" he suddenly roared and swung his left fist into Zal's cheek!

A violent roar hit, and Zal's body was slightly sideways, and he took a step towards the right front and took the initiative to meet it. The opponent's fist grazed his cheek with a strong wind, and the moment he staggered, Zal violently reflexed with his right foot as the axis, and the "Death Wish" filled his right arm with terrifying power almost instantly!

You're heavier than me, I'm lighter than you, you're slower than me, I'm faster than you...... A strong man who can perfectly balance strength and agility, Zal has not seen it, and he has seen a lot, but this one in front of him is definitely not!

"Bang!"

With a low, irritable thud, Zal's body was like a hurricane that had suddenly swung into the back of Rogda's side, and he threw his fist and struck a blow to the left leg socket, the left rib, and the left shoulder blade...... Zar, who slashed his arms, threw three punches in a row, knocking Rogda to his knees. At the moment when his shoulder was twisted by the huge force, Zal raised his left hand to clasp his throat and pressed it back violently, only to hear a loud bang, and the whole mountain of Roshan was directly pressed to the ground!

The next moment, Rogda, who was almost suffocated, was facing up on his back, and in his pupils, a muscular fist slammed down, and in an instant, he saw the murderous aura on the fist, chilling, engraved with the despair of ending everything!

"Ah!!......h

The subconscious scream, together with the sound of gasping behind him, filled the entire battle circle! Around Rogda's head, a round of floating soil sunk on the ground was torn out by the terrifying fist force, and rolled around. And that fist, leaving only a short distance, stopped in front of his face.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Rogda lay on the ground as if he had collapsed, and now the cold sweat that had just overflowed from his forehead was dripping down his face.

In the distance, in contrast to the stunned gazes of the crowd, the half-elf smiled, and Alev smiled...... In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the highest point of the gladiatorial arena, the silver-haired "poisoner" who witnessed everything, Casavalon also smiled.

In the backlight, a cold voice floated out from between the long hair that drooped. "Remember, it's for the sake of Mademoiselle and Mr. Casavalon......" (To be continued......
