Chapter 146: Instant Beauty
While Gollum and his half-orc compatriots were enjoying the "hard-won" food and wine in their cages, Lin Xiao had just finished his dinner.
I have to say that there was a "cult" cultist lying on the ground who kept peeking at him from the side, and there was still a look of fascination on his face, which was really a great mental destruction for those who were dining.
Lin Xiao, who has been inconvenient to have seizures, secretly wrote down a note in his heart, and finally put aside the "trauma" in his heart for the time being.
He walked slowly to a set of luxurious sofas and sat down gently.
"Oh? Gollum's Pride has risen by 100,000 points? ”
In order to facilitate viewing at any time, Lin Xiao specially made a pocket watch linked to the half-orc pride progress bar.
Looking at the progress bar that had risen sharply, Lin Xiao was a little surprised.
The reason why he deliberately arranged for Gollum to live with other orcs was precisely to quickly increase the evolution speed of the orcs.
Lin Xiao had already known some of the unspoken rules of the Colosseum Arena from Fred's mouth.
He also knew that the armor he had given Gollum was very good in appearance, and it would naturally attract some people to covet it.
In other words, what happened to Gollum was actually expected by Lin Xiao a long time ago.
It's just that what Lin Xiao didn't expect was that this half-orc just fought for some food and drink for those compatriots who were destined to die tragically tomorrow, which was enough to increase the pride of 100,000 points.
"Sure enough, coming to the arena was the right choice."
On the first day, we achieved one-twentieth of our goal, which is really gratifying.
As a result, Lin Xiao, who was in a good mood, looked at Goddess Sifna's expression and became much gentler.
"Why do you keep staring at people and smirking? Disgusting. ”
Sifner's words wiped out the good mood that Lin Xiao had just obtained.
"Well, I don't want to worry about you today."
Lin Xiao calmed down, stood up, and straightened the robe on his body.
"Do you want to go out for a walk with me?"
After a moment's hesitation, he extended an invitation to the goddess to walk with him.
"Yes, it's idle anyway."
The goddess put down the knife and fork in her hand, wiped her lips with a silk veil, and then stretched out her right hand to her side.
"Why are you standing still?"
Lin Xiao observed Sifner's actions, pretending not to understand what she meant.
"Hmph, it's really incomprehensible."
The goddess rolled her eyes, but she could only withdraw the hand that was waiting for Lin Xiao to take it, and stood up by herself.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Before arriving at the Colosseum, Siffner had already changed into a gorgeous goose-yellow aristocratic dress.
Even Lin Xiao had to admit that the current goddess really looked like a goddess.
Looking at the black-haired man staring at him, Sifner's pretty face suddenly turned a little red for some reason.
"Let's go, I heard from them that there is a public courtyard in the innermost part of the accommodation area, and the flowers planted in it are particularly beautiful."
"When did you like to spend?"
"Humph! Incomprehensible! ”
The goddess no longer paid attention to Lin Xiao, but walked in front alone.
There are two moons in the sky, one large and one small, each reflecting a faint blue glow.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, the glow emitted by the magic street lamp seemed to become softer.
The two of them walked one after the other, without saying a word, and soon came to the garden of flowers that the goddess had spoken.
"Wow! What a lot of rowan grass! ”
The goddess walked to a flower bed and looked at the white flowers blooming in the flower bed with an excited face.
"It's called Roland grass? It looks a lot like an epiphany. ”
Lin Xiao doesn't like flowers, and he doesn't understand flowers, epiphany is one of the few flowers he knows.
There is no other reason than that an old man once said to him that epiphany blooms only at night, and the flowering period is very short, but it is extremely beautiful, just like their "short-lived" killers who walk in the darkness and bloom in order to cleanse the world of filth.
"What epiphany? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Sifner's words made a bitter smile appear on the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth.
"yes, she's forgotten everything......"
Lin Xiao's lonely expression flashed but did not escape Sifna's eyes.
She is usually very aggressive, but sometimes she is extremely alert, which is really unpredictable.
"Midnight, you know what? Roland grass has a short flowering period and only blooms at night. ”
"Uh......"
Seeing Lin Xiao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Sifna couldn't help laughing.
"Some people like the beauty of the moment, and I don't agree with that at all."
"If you are so beautiful, why can't you bloom for a while longer?"
With that, the goddess cast her magic on the clump of roland.
As a farming druid, gardening is also a specialty for her.
With a green light, the white flowers that were about to wither were rejuvenated.
"Well, then they can be as open as they want to be."
"Don't want to open until now? How long was that? ”
"Guess?"
The moonlight reflected the side face of the goddess, so that Lin Xiao didn't feel a little stupid for a while.
Ever since he last returned from the Blazing Sun Realm, this ruthless killer had always felt something strange in his heart.
"You, come over to me."
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that Sifna ignored herself, Lin Xiao couldn't help but walk to the goddess's side and pressed her head with both hands.
As if trying to make sure what was inside her, he kept staring into her eyes, refusing to look away.
The goddess was taken aback, then symbolically struggled twice, and finally simply closed her eyes and pouted.
At this critical moment, a hoarse voice interrupted the "strange behavior" of the two.
"Two, are you interested in learning more about the betting of Tomorrow's Beast?"
The middle-aged man who spoke seemed completely oblivious to what his presence had interrupted.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, he hurriedly introduced himself again.
"The contemptible man's name is Gringino, the Imperial Baron personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor."
Grinkino shook the parchment in his hand and bowed to Lin Xiao and Sifna.
"The contemptible view of the two of them is born into a talented woman, and their family background must be quite prominent, so I think that the two of them must be interested in betting on betting......"
"Stop! Don't be verbose, I'll just bet on it. ”
Lin Xiao, who had an angry face, interrupted Gringino's words, and impatiently took out a black gold coin savings card from his arms.
"50,000,000 gold coins, bet on my orc slave to win."
"Win? My lord, do you know what the content of tomorrow's beast fight is? ”
Seeing that Lin Xiao casually touched a huge savings card with 50 million gold coins, Grinkino was so frightened that he hurriedly used honorifics.
"I care so much about you, you just say if you can bet on it, right?"
"When, of course, you can, the little one just wants to confirm, what do you mean by 'win'?"
The question raised by the baron made Lin Xiao also stunned.
"Of course, does he mean that he defeats all the monsters and becomes the final victor? Or else? ”
The always approachable Sifner also has no good face for Gringino.
"Okay, then, after confirming that everything is correct, please sign the contract, right?"
At Lin Xiao's behest, the goddess signed her name with Butcher's pseudonym.
Because of some of the super-level magic used to disguise information, Sifna's pseudonym also allowed the contract to take effect.
Seeing that the contract had been completed, Grinkino didn't dare to provoke the two who looked bad again, and hurriedly retired.
Seeing the baron's figure disappear around the corner of the courtyard, the goddess was still a little eager to continue the previous topic.
However, Lin Xiao had long lost interest.
So, she had no choice but to give up.
But soon, as if he remembered something, Siffna pulled up Lin Xiao's sleeve with a shout.
"Brother Midnight, the 50 million you just bet was in the name of someone else, how can you count it if you win?"
"Of course it's all mine."
Hearing Lin Xiao say this, the goddess was not happy.
"No, the names on the contract are mine, how can they all belong to you?"
"Then give you a share?"
"Fifty percent!"
"Thirty percent."
"Deal!"
In this way, Sifner successfully took her first step towards becoming the richest man in the Alpha Continent (except for Lin Xiao).
