After listening to Lester and the gargoyle Isaac, Cross roughly understood that there was another way to get into the block, but he didn't know what that way was, maybe it was the test Hart was talking about.

"Follow me. ”

Isaac turned and entered the stone wall, and Cross followed.

After passing through the stone wall, the hole in the stone wall began to close and returned to its original appearance.

After following Isaac through a dark path, his vision instantly widened, and at the same time, the light became much brighter.

However, the light here is mainly green and blue, and the brightness is much worse than the outside.

The gargoyle who was walking ahead suddenly stopped in front of a small house, and he bent down his tall body, looked through the small window of the house, and said, "Hey, Hogg, you have a job to do!"

After a commotion in the room, a drooling jackal's head poked out of the small window, "Isaac, you want to sign up for the Dark Gladiator?"

"It's not me, it's him. ”

The gargoyle pointed at Cross, and the dog's head twisted as well.

"Human? He's not one of us, is he? he's not qualified to be a Dark Gladiator. ”

"Hogg, I thought I was the only one who forgot, but you forgot too. ”

"Forgot something?"

"The second way to enter the underground block: win the championship in the Dark Gladiator tournament and get the title of Dark Gladiator. ”

Hogg touched his head, "I remember......"

Hogg and Isaac are forgotten because it's been too long since outsiders have been granted access to the Underground Block.

The Dark Gladiator tournament was contested by 8 contestants, 4 of whom were outsiders and the other 4 were residents of the lowest level of the underground block.

They will be divided into 4 groups, and then have a 1-on-1 life-and-death duel, where both sides cannot use weapons and can only engage in pure hand-to-hand combat, and only those who survive will advance to the next round. This life-and-death duel will continue until the end.

The last survivor will receive the title of "Dark Gladiator" and a voucher called "Dark Gladiator".

This ticket can be exchanged for most goods in the Underground Block, including Slaves.

However, outsiders soon complained that this method was too cruel. Especially the nobles living in the human kingdom, how could they exchange their lives for that exchange.

These humans made a proposal to the rulers of the underground blocks, exchanging money for exchange vouchers.

Later, the ruler made a rule that 500 gold dragon coins could be exchanged for exchange vouchers, and this rule has continued to this day.

This is actually the same as the 500 gold dragon coins that the gargoyle Isaac said about entering the block, handing over the 500 gold dragon coins, Isaac will take out the exchange coupon.

It was precisely because of the promulgation of this regulation that the number of outsiders participating in the Dark Gladiator Challenge became fewer and fewer, or even none in the end. However, it is not to say how rich the nobles of the human kingdom are. No more than 10 humans have entered Sunset City's underground blocks in this way.

Still, the rulers of the underground districts are fond of the kind of fights that fight for their lives.

The Dark Gladiator tournament was not abolished, and it gradually evolved into entertainment for the nobles of Sunset City's underground districts.

The current Dark Gladiator tournament is held every six months, and the limit of participants starts with the resident residents of the underground blocks, and later expands to slaves, and the final winner of the Dark Gladiator title can be promoted to the lowest rank of nobility.

Of course, the rewards of the vouchers have never changed.

The only thing that has changed is that there is an additional surrender mechanic. If one of the parties offers to surrender, then the remaining side can go directly to the next round.

However, surrender is not possible in any state, and the surrendering side must completely lose combat power, or lose a lot of combat power in a duel.

For example, only those who have broken arms and legs can choose to surrender. Otherwise, the referee will not announce the suspension of the game.

After Hogg the Gnoll introduced Cross to the basics of the Dark Gladiator, he began to contact the relevant personnel to begin preparing for the match.

Cross, on the other hand, was led by the gargoyle Isaac through the streets of the underground block, heading in the direction of the arena.

This underground block is much darker than Sunset City, this place can't see the sun, and naturally there will be no sunlight, most of the light here comes from the rows of luminous crystals on the side of the street, these crystals all emit green brilliance, and Cross also found a strange phenomenon, the sky above the entire block seems to be covered with a light blue film, and the blue light emitted by this film makes the whole block even darker and more mysterious.

The light is dim, but the architecture looks much more noble, with castle-style houses everywhere.

Rich in aristocracy and mystery, it was Close's first impression of the underground district.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the arena in the underground block.

The Colosseum is similar in shape to the Imperial Colosseum, except that there is a suspended palace directly above the Colosseum.

"This is the arena for the Dark Gladiators, come on human, although I don't think much of you at all. With that, Isaac spread his wings and flew away.

Cross was the only outsider in this tournament, so his match was scheduled for the first one.

He thought it would take a long time for such a big game to be ready. Unexpectedly, the originally empty arena soon appeared with an audience.

He glanced at it, and none of these spectators were human.

It didn't take long for the arena to be full, and Hogg the Gnoll appeared.

"Cross Klein, I'm the referee for this match, so I don't need to go into detail about the specific rules of the game, right?"

"No need. ”

"Okay, your opponent is coming soon, and I can tell you that your first opponent is not strong.

Don't get me wrong, I mean, you don't have to die, you can shout surrender when your arm is cut off, and I'm going to stop that guy from killing. ”
