Chapter 30: The Celebration Begins

"Contempt" is actually a by-product of a magical enchantment.

Argonian wizard Jeffrey Scott Lando is a grandmaster who specializes in magical enchantments, well, that's what Eric saw from this man's writings, and it seems to be quite credible now.

Instead of using the "Contempt" magic scroll, Eric unleashed a spell called "Reading Magic" on the scroll.

Then, the magic scroll in Eric's eyes changed, and on the spread of parchment, a three-dimensional translucent magic model appeared in the air.

"This is it!" said Eric, his face excited.

This is the full form in which magic manifests itself on paper, and this was not known until Eric learned to 'read magic'.

If it weren't for Edwin's memory, it would have been much more difficult for Eric to learn magic before, because he had to rely on the floor plan to imagine its three-dimensional diagram, and then build a magic model in his head, and he was not allowed to deviate in the slightest.

This is not an easy task.

The intuitive three-dimensional magic model of the "Contempt Technique" made Eric, who was already quick to grasp it, learn it not long after analyzing it in the strange space.

"Let's just appreciate the wonder of this magic first, and see if it's as powerful as the book says. Eric tore the magic scroll open in his hand.

At the same time, Eric felt his spiritual power and was surging towards the magic scroll.

A magical force came out of the scroll and acted on Eric.

The magic scroll slowly cracked until it shattered into powder and disappeared into Eric's hands.

Suddenly, Eric felt that his presence seemed to have diminished a lot.

Walking out of the cell, passing by some of the pirates, the pirates just glanced up at Eric and went about their business.

After thinking for a moment, Eric simply patted the pirate on the shoulder again: "I said, this kind of thing really makes you so comfortable?"

The pirate was stunned by Eric's move, then looked at Eric and said, "When did you come here? Nonsense, if I'm not happy, will I work so hard? Do you want to try?"

Looking at the pirate's humble movements, the woman under the pirate also smiled at herself, and didn't seem to care about the multi-person scuffle. Eric hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I'm not an adult yet." ”

"Not yet an adult, can an adult have that kind of capital?" the pirate muttered to himself, and did not continue to talk to Eric as he walked away.

After a long walk, Eric found that the "contempt technique" is really powerful, if you don't take the initiative to deal with others, then others will not take care of you.

Then, Eric went to the cell of the Borg men, and was about to speak to them.

DeLong, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Eric and said, "Why did you come to us?

Eric was surprised in his heart: "It seems that this magic has limited effect on strong people. ”

When he started to wander around, Eric deliberately walked past a powerful guard, but as soon as he approached the guard, the guard immediately looked at him with a wary expression.

However, the greatest advantage of "contempt" is that it does not make people aware of the effects of magic.

Like the "[***] spell that Edwin used before, Cusack quickly became aware of the magic effect. In this regard, Eric thought that this was really embarrassing for Jack, and actually found him such a rare magic scroll.

Back in his cell, Eric's consciousness entered the strange space, and he controlled the other "Eric" inside to do his best to master the magic, striving to do it without gestures, spells, and then almost instantaneous.

On the first day of the last month of the month of August and the founding of the Dawn Empire, Eric and the pirates were taken to the city of Laika, where the Colosseum was located.

Looking around the city, Eric really got a glimpse of the bustle of this port city.

The sounds of hawking, bargaining, scolding, frolicking, etc., make the whole of Laika City full of people, and the shops along the street are constantly coming and going. Eric also saw the Wood Elves and the gnomes.

"There are two more races in my knowledge. Eric thought to himself.

There are two very conspicuous buildings in the city of Laika, which stand in the middle of the city, as if they are reaching into the sky.

One building, Eric, didn't know what it was for, but the other was clearly the church of the Sanctuary of Dawn, because at the top of the building was a giant angel.

Along the way, there were also passers-by who watched these pirates and pointed at them.

Unaccustomed to this, Eric simply sat down, he no longer had the heart to appreciate the prosperity of Laika City.

Finally brought to the Colosseum, Eric and the pirates, who had not yet entered the arena, clearly saw the bloody battle going on in the arena through the gate leading to the center of the arena, and clearly heard the cheers like a tidal wave.

In the moments leading to the battle, the pirates fell silent.

There are those who are in a daze, those who pray silently, those who wield their weapons to try their senses, those who wipe their weapons, those who are restless, and a few who sit and close their eyes to recuperate.

Eric is a man who closes his eyes and recuperates.

In fact, Eric is unleashing the "contempt technique", and Eric, who has been familiar with this magic, still has to recite the spell to release this magic.

Luckily, no pirates pay attention to anyone outside of themselves. After unleashing the "contempt technique", Eric finally felt half at ease.

"Okay, it's your turn to play, you are the gladiators of the finale, among the gladiators who appeared in front of you, there are already people who have gained freedom or wealth, and you must also seize this opportunity. It was another of Batista's henchmen who spoke.

Eric and the pirates walked out of the gate and into the arena.

The wide circular gladiatorial arena, the crowded auditorium, and the lofty aristocratic stands. Let Eric in the field think he is an actor.

At the top of the high colosseum wall, there is an arched transparent light shield that covers the entire arena.

"It seems that this is the Dawn Divine Technique: "Dawn Imprisoned". An existence that neither the Seven Rings of Magic nor the Sky Knight can shake. ”

Looking at this "Dawn Confinement", Eric couldn't help but think of the legendary man who jumped over the high wall of the gladiatorial arena, climbed the noble stand, and then killed the nobles there.

This man was Joseph Gordon, the Viku Emperor who unified the Windswept Empire and drove the Snow Elves underground.

The founding emperor got off to a good start, and since then, there have been many gladiator riots in the gladiatorial arena.

For this reason, the officials of the Dawn Empire had to ask the priests of the Dawn Sanctuary to unleash their magic on the high walls here.

Batista was also in the stands of the nobles, and at this time he stood up: "A thousand years ago, this land was full of war and evil, but the ancestors of our Dawn Empire still won the final victory.

They chased away dragons, demons, sea people, orcs. Under the patronage of the god of the dawn, such a prosperous empire was established, and today, it is our memory of our ancestors. ”

Battista then introduced a young man sitting in the center of the stands, saying: "The Venerable Count Dion Prio, a descendant of the Founding Minister, will today represent the ancestors of the Empire and exercise the right to judge the life and death of the last warriors. ”

With Batista's encouragement, the aristocratic boy named Dion Prio stood up and said in a slightly immature voice: "I now declare that the celebration begins!"

Suddenly, the entire gladiatorial arena burst into cheers and thunderous applause.
