Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Argonian Maid
After being bought by Batista, the pirates finally had clothes to wear.
Everyone was given a linen robe.
Eric, who was sitting in the carriage, saw clearly this city belonging to the Dawn Empire - Laika City.
Although there is no chance to enter Laika City, the distance that gradually moves away makes it clear that its outline is clear.
As the coastal territory of the Dawn Empire, Laika Territory, its capital city, Laika City, is very huge.
The entire wall of Laika City was gray, and as for the height of the wall, Eric was surprised that it was at least 100 meters high.
It is said that the cities built in the Second Age were built on this scale, and at that time they had to defend themselves against many formidable enemies, for which the tall walls were unleashed by the priests of the Sanctuary of Dawn.
Laika City was the Second Age as a front-line fortress against enemies at sea.
It took several hours for the rickety carriage to stop, outside an estate on the outskirts of Laika City. This estate was built on a cliff by the sea.
Eric and the pirates were led down a gate to a clearing near a cliff. Then Batista shouted to them, "This is where you will be from now on."
Here, you will be trained to be powerful gladiators. This is an opportunity for you, a chance to be free. ”
Speaking of this, Batista paused before continuing: "Although the Empire has long since abolished the gladiatorial arena, gladiators will arrange gladiator performances at the founding celebration every five years.
Those who survive last will be freed. Not only you slaves, but also many citizens of the empire volunteered to serve as gladiators, because those who survive to the end will not only gain fame, but also wealth. ”
"Let's rest for a day today, and start training tomorrow", Batista turned to leave, then turned back and said, "Don't think about running away, there are elite Imperial soldiers guarding outside, and as for the bottom of the cliffs, I think the fish on the beach will love the taste of human flesh." ”
Like many curious pirates, Eric ran to the edge of the cliff and looked out towards the beach at the bottom of the cliff.
Sure enough, the beach is full of fish-people roaming around, these fish-men not only have sharp teeth, but also basically have sophisticated weapons in their hands, and there are even fish-men and wise people walking on the beach with magic staffs.
In front of the small wooden houses built by the fishmen, some of them are still hung with human bones and cured meat.
Not far away, a fish-man was deboning and cutting meat from a human corpse, and it was not hard to imagine what kind of cured meat was among them.
Eric, who had never seen a fish-man before, was watching it with relish.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Eric skillfully turned, and then saw a man walk past him.
The man didn't expect Eric to suddenly turn around and dance on the edge of the cliff to stop leaning forward.
After a few moments, the man who was about to stop leaning forward was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and Eric slammed his elbow against the man's waist.
"Ahh
All the pirates standing on the edge of the cliff were so startled by this scream that they retreated.
"That's so careless!" Eric shook his head as everyone stepped back, expressing sympathy for the man's plight.
This man is the pirate who was beaten up by Eric in the chef's cabin in the bilge.
Just now he wanted to push Eric off the cliff, but he didn't expect to eat the consequences.
"What's going on? What's going on? Somebody has fallen. "Fat Jack came to everyone with a group of maids at this time.
The maids were carrying hearty food, and the pirates, who had been eating unknown food or nothing for several days, looked at it with green eyes.
If it weren't for the bow guards standing on the high place staring at them all the time, I am afraid that they would have pounced on them a long time ago.
"In the future, when this kind of thing happens, everyone should try to rescue as much as possible. Your life does not belong to you, but to Lord Batista.
Only Lord Batista can decide whether you live or die. Just so you can see what happens when you fall off a cliff. Fat Jack said, pointing to the bottom of the cliff.
Everyone came to the edge of the cliff again and looked over, but everyone tried to stay away from the edge of the cliff, just leaning out their upper bodies and sticking out their heads to see.
The person who fell had been dragged away by the fishmen, placed on a slightly leveled rock, and then dismembered by the fishmen.
"Alright, alright, everyone come and eat, if this happens in the future, everyone will be punished, and today my Uncle Brown is in a good mood, so I won't tell Lord Batista. Fat Jack clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to hurry up and eat.
When the pirates heard Fat Jack's words, they all rushed at the maids like crazy, no, the food that the maids had placed.
The maids, who were arranging the food, were frightened by the pirates and retreated, and one of them screamed.
"It's okay, my Colando, these people don't dare hurt you. Fat Jack hurriedly comforted the maid.
Eric, who was nibbling on a chicken leg in his mouth, almost didn't spit out the chicken in his mouth after seeing the maid comforted by Fat Jack. Because he saw the legendary Argonians.
It resembles a lizard's head, except that the eyes are full of purity and cuteness, as well as a long tail and green skin behind it. Other than that, though, there's no difference between this Argonian maid and a girl with a hot body.
"Woo woo woo, these people are so scary, I don't want to do things for them. Cordo leaned on Fat Jack's shoulder and cried under her breath.
Looking at the distressed expression on Fat Jack's face, Eric thought to himself: This Jack's taste is really unique.
Except for Eric, everyone else was gobbling up food.
Later, one of the pirates sitting next to Eric said, "I said, brother, you don't have the same unique taste as that fat man." ”
"No, I'm just meeting a Argonian for the first time. Eric's face showed a rare embarrassed expression.
"Haha, Eric, you're really rare and weird, only Argonians, and there must be a lot of Argonians in a coastal city like Laika City. If you have the opportunity, you can get to know them in depth, these Argonian female surnames are actually really good. ”
Eric didn't understand what Barrell was smoking, and actually joked with himself.
However, after a joke, Eric spotted Balaire staring intently at a long-haired black maid.
Jack, who had comforted Cordo, turned to the pirates and said, "In order for everyone to be trained to the fullest, Lord Batista has arranged entertainment for you. ”
As Fat Jack said this, he pointed to a group of amorous women who walked in from the far gate.
"Long live Lord Brown, hahaha!" the pirates didn't understand what Jack meant, and patted him on the back.
Jack, on the other hand, left with the Argonian maid in his arms.
