If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that the female gladiator known as the Black Thorn in the Black Boxing Arena was Hamasaki, but now she had a bright golden collar around her neck, on which the name of the slave owner was written in gorgeous and smooth lines.How could I forget her, how could I forget!
Because she is the deputy head of the Starry Adventure Group who once dared to stand on the street of Guruding with a big iron gun and wanted to kill me in front of Old Kuru and Sister Guoguo.If it weren't for her lasting, she forced me to reveal some magic flaws, and Mondtroa would never have known that I was born with magic, and would not have risked setting up a game with the liger Berngar to take me away in Grudin.I've been hiding in El City for the past few years, never daring to reveal my identity, just worried that she or the leaders of the Starry Adventure Troupe, Breguet and Mondtroa, are still looking for me, and finally survive to participate in the awakening ceremony, and finally become a magic apprentice, and when I have a magic pool in my body, there will finally be no more terrible magic that can rob me of the magical talent in my body.Now I am desperate to know the whereabouts of these people, and sooner or later I will have to pay back what I owe them.Yes, I couldn't sleep last night on the little wooden bed in the attic, because I always had the faces of Hamasaki and Breguet in my head, and I wanted to know what they were doing in the underground black boxing market.Hamasaki, who was successfully registered as a weapon warrior in the warrior guild, was reduced to a gladiator in the underground black boxing tournament, and became a plaything in the hands of the most powerful slave farmer in the city of El, she was covered in a thin layer of animal skin, like a midnight street girl standing on the copper platform, holding the familiar big iron gun in her hand, but losing her soul in her eyes, I don't know why she could still persist in living under such extreme humiliation, maybe in her opinion, being alive is far more important than having dignity.My hands were clenched into fists, and my whole body was tense like a longbow that slowed down the bowstring.Benjamin on the side saw that my expression was different, and turned his head to ask me with concern: "Jijia, what's wrong with you, are you that uncomfortable?"
”I shook my head vigorously, leaving behind the hatred that had surged in my heart like a tidal wave, and reluctantly told him that I had nothing to do, and at this time the ten gladiators who were going to compete tonight had all stood on the bronze platform, and at this time, a host in a gorgeous tuxedo began to introduce the gladiators on the bronze platform one by one, often telling them their most brilliant achievements, or mentioning their best martial arts and weapons, etc.In my opinion, this is a very exciting gambling extravaganza, and all the spectators in the room have lost their minds and clenched their purses tightly, struggling to cheer up their valued fighters.Almost every gladiator had some supporters, but there were many young nobles gathered around Hamasaki, all shouting black thorns and waving their fists to squeeze forward.Benjamin took advantage of the fact that his two friends were not looking, took a money bag out of his bosom and threw it to me, smiled and winked at me, and whispered to me, "If you want to support that one later, make a bold bet."
If you don't have a good idea, then choose Hansendon with me!
”He pointed to the warrior who was standing on a bronze platform with a shield in his hand and a Roman sword on his waist with the other hand, it seemed that Benjamin was full of confidence in him, I returned the money bag in my hand to Benjamin, the relationship between us has not yet reached the point where we can dispose of each other's money at will, I lifted the corner of the magic robe, revealing the bulging money bag inside, and after shaking it with my hand, there was a clanging sound of coins inside, and said to him: "I have enough of this thing!"
”He looked at me in surprise when he saw that my money bag was full, and muttered, "Have all the current magician apprentices become so rich?"
”"Don't forget, we guys have achieved the best results in Ell City in the Willow Valley in decades, and those of us have gained something!"
I saw Benjamin's look surprised and explained it to him.Benjamin's two friends on the side thought we were debating who to put the chips on, so they hurriedly came over to make their own opinions, and the friend in sheepskin soft armor expressed his support for the strong lizardman, who was said to be very ruthless in his scimitar.However, another friend swore that Marta with a huge hammer on her shoulder was the real god of war and had never been defeated.I was a little surprised that these ten gladiators were all talking about the winning record under the introduction of the host, and asked Benjamin in confusion: "Jie Shao, these ten gladiators have never lost a game, it can't be that the host is bragging for them!"
”"Definitely not, they won't smash their signboards!"
Benjamin immediately shook his head and said it was impossible.A friend on the side said sharply: "Of course, it is a complete victory, because as long as these gladiators lose one game, they will lose not only the game, but also their own lives!"
”A beam of fire burned above the copper platform, a huge stone carved roulette was suspended in the air, sixteen steel cables the thickness of the baby's arms firmly fixed it on the wall of the second floor on the east side, the entire diameter of more than five meters burned on the wheel with ten dark blue flames, ten flames evenly surrounded in a circle, on each dark blue flame there was a half-foot-high villain composed of flames, and after a careful look at the past, it was found that these flame villains were clearly the shrunken shadows of the ten gladiators on the copper platform.These dark blue flame villains are actually able to make all kinds of movements on top of the flame center of the flame, and they are very vivid and lifelike.Two giant hands of the same length rotate slowly on the stone carving turntable.The atmosphere in the Black Boxing Arena had gathered to its peak, and it was unknown how the tuxedo-clad host got on the side of the turntable, shouting at the top of his voice: "Let's wait and see, let's see which two gladiators will be tied together by the time wheel of fate!"
”His voice was loud enough to drown out all the shouts in the ring, and a low bell rang out, and the black fist arena became quiet, and all the onlookers began to hold their breath quietly, staring closely at which two people the two hands on the wheel of time would stop.As the two bulky black hands slowed down and finally landed in the two adjacent grids, there were bursts of exclamations from outside the field.At this time, the two dark blue flames pointed by the two huge pointers were extinguished, and the two figurines of the two tall figures dancing on the flames slowly disappeared, and at the same time, a circle of flames burned around the bronze platform under the feet of the mummy assassin and the warrior dressed as imperial soldiers, which was very conspicuous in such a noisy arena, and everyone knew that the pendulum of fate linked the lives of the two of them, and the two of them would fight to the death in the iron cage."
Damn, it's actually an assassin vs. a shield battle, how can an assassin have a chance of winning a defensive battle!"
Benjamin's friend on the side immediately beat his chest and said that although his first choice was Talma, the hammer warrior, he was also paying attention to the mummy assassin in a very special costume.I've seen this alternative outfit of wrapping his whole body in linen, and he likes to wrap his whole body in linen, but this mummified warrior is even more desperate, even wrapping his face completely, and he doesn't know how his eyes see his surroundings.I'm sure this mummy assassin isn't Viru, though, it's a lot shorter than Viru.Listening to their mournful tones, I felt that they were more inclined between the two of them to the mummy assassin who wrapped his whole body in linen.However, I was also unhappy to see Benjamin, when a bewitching maid with a silver plate walked over, without mentioning the spirit of betting chips, and directly ignored the maid to walk over, I asked Benjamin curiously: "Aren't you very supportive of Hansendon?"
Why didn't you just bet your chips?
”"There's nothing to guess in a battle where you have a chance to win," Benjamin actually said, and it seems that he is really just for fun, in order to enjoy some exciting activities full of uncertainties in the duel.On the contrary, although the two friends said that they supported the mummy assassin, when the maid came over with a silver tray, they still obediently threw the chips in their hands into the plate, and Hansenlton won, but in this way, the odds have fallen again and again, and finally the odds of buying ten to five are up.It seems that everyone is very optimistic that this mummy assassin can win, because there is too much difference in restraint between professions, and there is almost no chance of winning against an assassin of the same level against a shield battle of the same level, so the odds of a mummy assassin are very high, and they have reached a buy one to three, but still no one is willing to buy a mummy assassin to win.The two gladiators were then led into the cage, where the onlookers gathered again to watch the first battle.I have learned to take out a gold coin in my hand to play, so as to avoid the suspicious eyes thrown around, some people do not think that young people like us have enough spare money in their hands to buy chips, so there are always people who are constantly paying attention to our every move, this kind of boxing gambling is the biggest feature, but the people who watch the game here are not all from wealthy families, some ordinary nobles can bet a gold coin in the game, which is also a big deal.So, when I toss a gold coin in my hand, I avoid being mistaken by some people for just coming here to see the excitement.But I really didn't plan to bet on these two people, but it backfired, and when I squeezed upstairs behind Benjamin, a maid in the crowd was also holding a silver tray to collect the gambling money, but at this time she had no time to care about the harassment of those groping pigs, but just stubbornly endured the small actions of those who rubbed the oil, and tried to sell the chips in her hand.I don't know who suddenly pushed me from behind, I leaned forward in the crowd all of a sudden, one hand pressed on Benjamin's shoulder to barely fall, but the gold coin in the other hand flew out, I was thinking regretfully that if the gold coin fell to the ground, I don't know if there was a way to pick it up, there were too many people here.But by chance, the gold coin that kept tumbling in the air suddenly fell into the silver tray, and the maid followed the trajectory of the gold coin, looked directly at me, and then put on a sweet smile at me: "Your Excellency, who do you want to buy to win?"
”I thought speechlessly: If I reached out and picked up the gold coin in the tray at this time, and said to the maid very cheekily that I won't buy anyone, would I be despised by the maid!
So I didn't even think much about it in the next moment, and directly pointed at Hansenlton and said without hesitation: "Just buy him!"
”The maid looked embarrassed, and said to me tactfully, "Hansendon has sold out of chips, or would you like to change something else?"
”I looked at the stack of chips in my hand speechlessly, and I didn't know why I had just been so confused that I actually bought a bunch of chips for the Mummy Assassin to win!
Benjamin looked at my chips beside me and said, "If you do this, you're throwing gold coins in a pond!"
”I looked innocent, Benjamin couldn't bear to blame, but comforted me and said: "Later, you bet with me, we will get back the money you lost" The staircase jogging platform where several of us were not the best place to watch the game, so at this time Benjamin directly pulled me to the second floor, and the four of us were crowded on a railing on the second floor, from here we can clearly see the complete fight scene, the four of us leaned on the railing of the stone, and poked our heads out to see the fierce fight scene in the iron cage.The pace of the battle in the iron cage was very fast, and the mummy assassin had just entered the iron cage and clinged to the thick steel bars of the iron cage, squatting motionless in the doorway, holding the sharp dagger in his hand like a calm poisonous snake, opening its mouth to choose someone to devour.And the Imperial soldier wore a light leather armor, this kind of imperial standard leather armor is the standard configuration of the archers, the upper body only has a simple cuirass to protect the chest, and below is a battle skirt, the steps of the strong and powerful legs appear to be very rhythmic, and when he runs, he is also fast and slow, he pressed on the Roman sword at his waist with one hand, and held a knight's light shield in the other hand, looking at the mmmified assassin with an expressionless face, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.To be continued.
