Chapter 17: The Underground Arena
As the door closed, the light in the room dimmed again.
Inside the iron gate is a spiral staircase made of stone steps, and grooves have been cut out in the walls on either side at regular intervals, on which are placed flickering candles to maintain a basic light source.
Nono grabbed the corner of Roddy's clothes and began to walk down step by step, Roddy paused, in the dim light, the little guy's eyes seemed to have a hint of fear and eagerness.
"Wait. Roddy grabbed Nono's little hand, and his face became serious.
"Tell me, what is this place, and why did you bring me here?"
"I..." Nono's face became a little bright and uncertain in the candlelight, and slowly, he said, "I... I did... Will you help me?"
"Let's talk about what it is. Luo Di said lightly.
"Hmm...... Okay" Little Lori hung her head, and her two fingers kept drawing circles there, like a child who had done something wrong, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "This... There's one thing I'd love to get, but... However, there is a rule here, unless... If you win the ring, it will be awarded to you in the form of a prize, otherwise..."
"You can buy it too, you're a magician, you can't be short of money or anything like that, right?" Roddy paused, "Or you can join on your own..."
"I tried!" Nono bit her lip, her big eyes full of tears, as if she was about to cry.
"But, there's no bartering here! and... And, because of that forbidden spell, I can't do too many spells at all! Otherwise!!!How could I let you stinky guy get bruised!! and let you save me!!"
Nono's big eyes were full of tears, and little Lori began to sobb as soon as she sat on the steps. Luo Di couldn't help but touch his nose, this ghostly little thing had already cried many times in front of him, but this time he felt a sense of shame in his heart, looking at the aggrieved appearance of this little guy, it means that that thing must be very important to her, otherwise she would not have behaved so intensely.
Luo Di looked at the appearance of the little Lori, then put away his serious look, touched his nose, and said for a long time: "That... Okay, but you're going to tell me what you want?"
"Hmph, you won't help me, stinky guy! I won't tell you!" Nuno pouted and sobbed one after another, looking like a little tearful man.
"You told me, might I be able to consider helping you?" Roddy crouched down, and now he looked like the devil with temptation in his eyes.
"Really?" Nuo Nuo was overjoyed and asked, "You don't lie to me?"
"Hmm. Luo Di nodded lightly, in fact, he was also a little curious now, as soon as he came in, the alcohol and the noise of the crowd came to his face, and when he heard Nuo Nuo say that he wanted to fight in the ring, he was inexplicably excited in his heart. Luo Di couldn't help but sigh secretly: "After all, he is still a belligerent person!"
"Okay. Nuno nodded hurriedly, "I can't tell you now, time is limited, once I start, I can't participate anymore, I'll tell you when I get in!"
Nono quickly grabbed one of Roddy's arms, his eyes full of anticipation. Luo Di looked at this little Lori, and had to nod lightly......
The spiral staircase reached the end of about dozens of floors, where there was still a large iron door, and as soon as the iron door was pushed open, two indifferent men immediately flashed out of the darkness, and then immediately checked Roddy's body, and waited for Nono. Roddy's face sank, and he said coldly: "She's just a child, no need." ”
The two big men were stunned, and they felt a piercing chill emanating from their backs, and the young man in front of them looked at them indifferently. The two big men looked at each other, and then they nodded, and one of them shouted, and a low figure flashed out from the side, made a gesture of please to them, and walked in front to lead the way.
Roddy and Nono exchanged glances, and then followed the leader forward, the passage was dark, and only the exit in front of it was faintly shining. As soon as Roddy and Nono walked out, this huge space appeared in front of Roddy's eyes.
The area in front of you is in the shape of a circle, and wooden round tables and chairs are randomly arranged. Inside, there is a circular solid wood bar, and the wine cabinet behind it is already filled with a variety of drinks. In the center is a circular sand field, surrounded by barbed wire more than four or five meters high. At this time, there are several independent small rooms in the position of the ceiling, and it can be seen that it is a specially set up VIP room, and the window of the VIP room is dark and dark, and it is impossible to see whether there is anyone inside at this time.
All kinds of people shuttle between large and small tables, and of course, in addition to alcohol, there are also many professional women who make a career out of it. Luo Di couldn't help but be a little stunned as he watched the scantily clad long-legged women with snow-white on their chests laughing and laughing in the arms of various men.
"Look at what!" Nuno twisted Roddy's waist and eyes fiercely, and immediately puffed up the baby's fat little face angrily, and unconsciously straightened up the undeveloped breasts...
Roddy led Nono, but he became an outlier here, and as soon as he entered, many eyes were already aimed at them. However, Roddy also felt that there was some unfriendliness in this vision. He led Nono, found a more remote corner, and sat down.
At this time, a bartender-looking person immediately surrounded the two with a smile.
"Excuse me, what do you need?" said the bartender with a smile
"Cool water. Luo Di glanced at Nuno on the side, shook his fingers again, and said coldly: "Two glasses." ”
The bartender's expression froze suddenly, and Nuno on the side hurriedly threw out a gold coin, and the bartender immediately turned out a professional smile. Quickly hid the gold coin in his arms.
"Wait!" Nono immediately took out a red card from his hand as if playing a trick and handed it to the bartender, who was stunned again, so he hurriedly picked up the red card and left in a hurry.
"What's that?" dismissed the bartender, and Roddy's eyes immediately retracted. It seemed that because of the appearance of the red card, the hostile eyes around him became more and more.
Nono sighed, didn't dare to look up at Roddy, and said, "That's a race card, that's... I'll give it to him..."
"I see. Roddy waved his hand, his face turning back to his usual indifference, "Now you can tell me what the hell is going on." ”
Nuno nodded, and then lightly told what had happened.
It's very simple, it's that Nono happened to wander around the street, and suddenly felt the breath of some kind of demonic beast, and this restless little Lori immediately looked for the breath, and found that a team of mercenaries was escorting a carriage covered with black cloth. The breath of the demonic beast emanated from the carriage.
The most important thing is that Nuno seems to be able to hear that the monster seems to be constantly calling for help!!Therefore, this little girl who is overflowing with love immediately followed the convoy, relying on stealth to follow all the way, and finally sneaked into this underground arena, only to know that this monster is actually the prize of this competition. And this monster seems to be quite precious. It is a cub called the Earth Drakemon.
And Nono remembered that she had read in the book that this monster seemed to be a descendant of an ancient beast, the dragon!!
Luo Di listened silently to what Nuno said, and then glanced at her, Xiao Lori was afraid that he would not believe it, and raised a hand to swear again.
"Do you think I'm telling a lie? But I can really understand the language of Warcraft, not just them, but some small animals, birds, dogs, and so on, and I can talk to them. ”
"Don't worry, I trust you. Roddy smiled and hung up Nono's little nose, making this little Lori's face red again.
At this moment, the light of this underground arena dimmed, and immediately above the arena, a magic crystal suddenly shot out a white light, instantly enveloping the entire middle arena. An old man in a black robe, and a bald man with a **** upper body appeared in front of everyone. Next to them, there was a cage covered with a black cloth, and there was a faint wail from inside!
"Right there!" Nono exclaimed, his little hand pointing to the black-clothed cage. But Roddy pressed her hand and made a gesture to silence.
"Wait and see. Luo Di said lightly: "I want to see what kind of arena this is!"
