Chapter 68: Phoenix's Tears
The Colosseum, which stands on top of the square, is made up of seven tiers of arches and a high wall at the top, each with arches, each flanked by tall Torric columns and numerous reliefs......
From a distance, this magnificent building seems to be an ancient Roman arena that has been magnified several times.
In fact, it served the same purpose as the Colosseum...... Fistfight.
Personal feuds can be fought here, and the murderer is not guilty.
Criminals who have been convicted of death can also pray that they will fight other criminals here, and that the winner will be given a chance to live.
Ordinary wizards can also apply to fight magical creatures, and the more powerful the magical creatures they kill, the richer the rewards they get.
Those rewards include gold, magical items, and access to the Tower of Babel to learn the magic of an ancient wizard.
When Rove was idle, he made a special inquiry and killed a fire dragon to allow him to stay in Babel Tower for a day.
Considering that I feel as if I live in it, I can only say that I ...... The king can indeed do whatever he wants.
But then again, Rove also had some doubts in his heart, why did Queen Glos choose to meet here?
Seeing that the young man was silent in thought, Livias opened his mouth and urged:
"Your Majesty, the Queen is waiting for you inside."
"Then let's go in."
So the carriage moved again, and it was met by two tall bronze statues of wizards, one wielding a sword and the other holding a wand.
The moment they killed each other, the bronze weapons and bodies formed a strange arch in the air.
Through the archway, the carriage entered the Colosseum, and Rove realized that the venue was filled with spectators.
As soon as they saw the carriage appear, cheers rang out and quickly spread throughout the square.
The carriage did not stop, and drove up a ramp until it reached the box on the top floor of the Colosseum.
Queen Glos stood up, greeted her with a whimsical smile, and said with a charming smile: "You must be wondering, why did I choose to meet here?" ”
Rove turned his head, glanced at the dense audience, and said:
"I was really confused, but when I saw them, I didn't have any doubts...... You've summoned all the people of Avalon, haven't you? ”
"That's right." Glos smiled, "Just take this opportunity to gather them all here to announce the news that you have officially been crowned king and become my husband!" ”
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Rove's arm, pulled him by force, and walked to the railing of the box.
Glos faced the entire Colosseum audience, and his soft voice resounded like thunder in the sky:
"Ladies and gentlemen! After the death of His Majesty Kurga, we finally have a successor - His Majesty Rove Scamander!
Today, His Majesty the King is here to show you – his people – his mercy.
All of them...... Let the king hear your love! ”
Tens of thousands of throats roared, and they beat their chests and shouted, "Your Majesty Scamander! Your Majesty Scamander! Your Majesty Scamander! ”
A wave of frenzy swept the Colosseum and the whole earth trembled.
Queen Glos leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, listen, how much they love you!" ”
Rove rolled his eyes and pulled his arm out of Queen Glos' twin peaks with difficulty.
"I haven't promised to be this king yet."
"Of course you agreed." Queen Glos chuckled, "Because I've got everything you want!" ”
With a wave of his arm, Gloss immediately moved forward with a bronze cedar box and placed it in the center of the box.
After opening it, Rove found that one of them was full of treasures:
Large green pearls are strung into strings, freshwater pearl necklaces, emeralds, rubies and sapphires the size of eggs, and gold coins carved with mermaid heads......
In the other chests, there were eggs of more than a dozen magical creatures.
Rove didn't even look at the treasures, his eyes fell on the eggs, and he carefully picked up one of them.
The temperature of the eggshell is very high, and the surface is shiny and bright, and the color is gorgeous, as if the pottery that has been burned by a fire has been surrounded and isolated by a cooled and hardened colored glaze.
The boy was holding the egg, and there was a sudden "ding" in his mind.
[An unresurrected phoenix egg is detected, triggering side quest 1:]
Hatch a phoenix egg with a reward:
【Tears of Purity】
Your tears will have the magical effect of phoenix tears and can heal injuries.
Side Mission 2:
Complete 100% domestication of the phoenix, rewarding magic:
【Phoenix Nirvana】
After taking fatal damage, it can be reborn as a baby in the flames. (Mission not completed)]
Rove glanced at the reward and was ecstatic in his heart, but in an instant, he took away the joy in his eyes, hid the emotion, and asked with a straight face:
"Queen Gloth, these things are only a tenth of the number of things I want!"
"Aside from these eggs, the rest of the magical creatures are all living creatures." Queen Glos explained:
"They're too big, of course, to fit here...... Don't worry, it's all in the cage of the Colosseum, and after the show, I'll take you to pick it up! ”
Rove smiled: "Then I'll take these things first." ”
Without waiting for Queen Glos to speak, Shirley immediately opened the black leather box in tacit agreement, and then waved her wand to transfer the eggs and jewels inside.
Queen Glos smiled dumbly and said, "Then let's watch the duel first." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a wizard opened the two prison doors of the Colosseum.
I saw a mammoth that had been extinct for thousands of years, rushing out, and on its back, a giant was mounted:
It has hair all over its body, more hair below the waistline than its upper body, a head protruding forward, not on the same plane as its shoulders, a large flat face, square teeth, horn-like folds of flesh between its two small eyes, and bronze rings on it.
The giant also held a large tree uprooted from the roots, and a stone ball was tied to the root to be used as a mallet.
In the cage opposite, a huge fire dragon flew out.
Amid the excited roars of all the spectators, the giants and the fire dragon fought to the death in the Colosseum!
……
……
Standing outside the cave, Aerys the Dragonscourge looked out at the wizarding city.
Even though it is far away, it can still hear the sound of shouting "Your Majesty" and bursts of laughter in the city.
The pleasant emotion made it extremely hateful, angry, and even hateful, and thoughts of destruction and killing welled up in its heart.
At this moment, the ethereal voice of a woman sounded in the cave.
"Go, my child, and kill your father...... Go destroy the city...... Kill all his people! ”
A bloody glint flashed in Aerys' eyes, and it spread its wings and flew towards the wizarding city with a gust of wind in the sky.
