Chapter 51: The Gladiatorial Fight in Hell (2)
A carriage drove slowly into the stable of the Blue Mill and two men came down from it, one in front was an old man with a white beard but only one left hand, and the other behind was a thin man with a cute rabbit mask on his face, it was the old cat and Robert.
A servant led the way, skirting several gardens and through a cloister to the door of a splendid hall.
Robert looked in through the window and saw a dance party going on in the hall, filled with pairs of men and women, dancing to the music.
Seeing Robert stop and watch, the servant whispered, "Sir, please go this way!"
Robert withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the servant.
The three of them went down a small staircase next to the hall to the basement level, where they saw a labyrinth, crisscrossed by corridors, and lounges on the left and right.
The servant took Robert and the two of them around a few times, came to the fifteenth common room, opened the door, and said, "Sir, please rest here, and when your name is called, please go to battle." If you need anything, you can ring the bell, and I will be there for you at any time!" After speaking, he bowed and walked away quickly.
Robert walked into the lounge, and saw that the room could accommodate about a dozen people, with a wooden round table and chairs in the middle, a candle lit on the table, a bell the size of a palm, and a small window and a wooden door on the opposite wall. Through the window, you can see the cylindrical gladiatorial arena outside.
The old cat closed the door, the two walked to the table and sat down, Robert took off his mask, let out a heavy breath, and complained: "It's been a long time, it's really hot!"
The old cat took out the wine bottle from the storage bag, drank it deliciously, and said, "You should familiarize yourself with the environment first!" After speaking, he closed his eyes, and seemed to remember the days of the competition.
Robert walked to the window and looked out, and saw that the gladiatorial arena was about 100 square meters square, with two floors, the lower floor was the ring, and the floor and walls were made of huge white marble, with a smooth surface, and the upper floor was the spectator's stand, and a circle of wooden railings was built around the ring, and behind the railing there was a circle of tables and chairs, and the nobles could sit at the table and watch the gladiatorial games below.
In the middle of the lower level of the gladiatorial arena is placed a huge square iron cage, about forty square meters square, five meters high, only an iron door, a large lock, the fence is the thickness of a child's arm, and there are intricate runes engraved on it, from time to time there are magic flashes, it seems that it can not only prevent the contestants from escaping, but also prevent the skills from hurting the audience.
Seeing the round iron cage, Robert was taken aback, and had a faint bad premonition, turned his head to the old cat and asked, "The hell gladiatorial fight you are talking about can't be a competition in this iron cage, right?"
The old cat smiled and said, "It's not in the iron cage, where is it? Do you see that iron door? Only one person can stand and walk out!"
As soon as he heard this, Robert turned around and stared at the iron cage, and imagined in his mind such a picture: in the iron cage, he and several beautiful women were fighting in hell.
I couldn't beat it by myself, I couldn't run and I couldn't run, I was knocked to the ground by several beauties, and screamed: "Help~~, help~~!"
Several beautiful women surrounded themselves and said with a grin: "You shout! Even if you shout and cut your throat, no one will come to save you!"
He left two lines of tears aggrieved and said, "You can only get my body, not my soul!"
Finally, he died at the age of fifteen.
......
Thinking of this, Robert blinked vigorously, shook his head again, and saw that the iron cage in the distance was empty, where was the shadow of half a beautiful woman, and he breathed a heavy sigh, and said in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all an illusion!"
At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside the window, and Robert followed the voice, only to see a group of nobles pouring into the audience of the gladiatorial arena, men and women, old and young, but everyone with a drunken blush and a false smile on their faces.
These aristocrats sat down around the table in groups of three or five, and the servants streamed in, placing wine bottles, wine glasses, snacks, fruits, and the information of the participating team members on the table one by one.
After the nobles were seated, a Humpty Dumpty man dressed in butler costume walked to the iron cage of the gladiatorial arena, smiled all over his face, bowed first, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hell gladiatorial tournament at the Blue Mill, I am Tom the butler, and on behalf of the Blue Mill, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to you for coming!"
Hearing Tom's opening remarks, the audience didn't seem to buy it, and erupted in boos and curses.
"Tom, I'm you, hurry up!"
"Tom, give me as far as you want!"
"You've got too much. ”
......
Tom heard the curses of the crowd, his face did not change in the slightest, and he still had a professional smile, as if he had long been accustomed to all this, and continued: "There is information about the contestants on the table, and friends who want to play two can ask our servants to bet, with a minimum bet of 1,000 gold coins. ”
Tom cleared his throat and continued: "In the first gladiatorial battle, the pheasant fought against the Roaring Heavenly Venerable! The pheasant fourth-level thief, eleven wins and eleven losses, and the roaring Tianzun fourth-level warrior, eight wins and seven losses. The pheasant odds are three to one, and the roaring Tianzun odds are three to five!Please buy and leave, five minutes later, start the game, stop betting!" After speaking, he opened the door of the iron cage and stood quietly aside.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the door to the No. 1 lounge opened, revealing a short man in a pheasant mask, dressed in leather armor and holding a glittering dagger in his hand, apparently a thief.
At the same time, the door of the No. 7 lounge also opened, and out came a strong man like an iron tower, with oil paint painted on his face, dressed in heavy armor, and carrying a two-handed giant axe like a door panel on his shoulder, looking like a powerful warrior.
The two of them walked into the iron cage one after the other, and there was a click, and Tom locked the door.
Seeing that the game was about to start, the audience was enthusiastic and cheered.
"Which one did you buy?"
"Needless to say, of course it's a roaring Tianzun! Look at his size, that muscle, tsk, tsk, it's two big pheasants!"
"The pheasant is ruthless!, the last gladiatorial fight, the opponent has surrendered, and the pheasant still gave him a knife in the neck!"
"It doesn't matter!
