The Colosseum, at its core, in a luxurious suite.Goblin merchant Gran looked at the rippling magic water mirror in front of him, and his expression couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this the awakening of the orcs' whims?"
It is said that there are several big names above who are interested in these tough orc warriors and have done in-depth research?
Giggles, I didn't expect to have the pleasure of seeing it today. ”As he spoke, a smile cracked into Grand's wrinkled bark-like face, which seemed to be a sigh, but there was no half smile in his eyes, and as he spoke, he looked at the man beside him.Beside him was a middle-aged arcane in a red robe, he had the standard dark brown eyes of the Netherel clan, and his facial features were handsome and heroic, but the hooked nose ruined the overall feeling, and the coldness in his eyes made him look a little unkind.He didn't speak immediately, but continued to input mana, stabilized the reflection image on the magic water mirror, and paused before saying, "Any Ming has its own merits, even these orcs who we think are hairy and blood-drinking.It's just that their system is not suitable for human beings.According to the research results of the Arcane Society, this kind of heart-wrenching awakening can theoretically be done by humans, but the lower physical limit that needs to be reached is too high.Human beings, without the assistance of other power systems, cannot bear the pain of awakening at all, but if they have the assistance of other systems, there is no need for awakening.Therefore, its universality and reference value are not high. ”In the end, he concluded: "Orcs, the most suitable thing is to stay in the pit and dig up the ore and gems for us, that is their final destination." ”The merchant Gran didn't refute, but the corners of his mouth cracked again: "Giggles, then Master Kurtu, can you make the magic water mirror clearer, I want to know what they said?"
”"Can't!
Unless you want to be discovered by him?
In any case, Walter is also a powerhouse in the Legendary Realm, and this perception is still there, and this distance is already the limit. ”Master Kurtu was obviously not Grand's subordinate, and he refused cleanly, but after saying this, he seemed to be a little curious: "Your Excellency, you seem to be very interested in Walter, oh, no, this little orc?"
”Gran shook his head: "What does that little orc have to pay attention to, dirty little ant-like fellow, if it weren't for my reputation, I wouldn't care."
What I care about is Walter's change, this orc warrior has been with me for three years, don't I know what his personality is?
The last time he showed such attention was when he met Evely, Catwoman of the Carters, but that can be explained by the natural desires of male orcs!
And what is this?
Why would Walter have such an eye on a Pig orc?
Even, more than Evely?
Actually enlightened him hand-in-hand?
Or to put it another way, what is so special about this little orc that makes Walter value it so much?
”This series of questions made the commander of the Colosseum's mage guards, the fourth-order and nineteenth-level arcane archmage Kurtu, puzzled.However, after only a moment's effort, he came back to his senses: "No, no, no, what kind of goblin are you?"
How did you start caring about one of your gladiators?
That's not your character, is it?
Aren't all the big deals you want to make money in?
Huh, wait?
”Master Kurtu seemed to understand something, and suddenly looked at the goblin merchant and said, "Could it be that the Nine Towers Gladiatorial King Competition is going to be held again?"
Hehe?
Is that a rare event?
But the timing is wrong, isn't it?
And, besides, it's impossible for me not to receive any news at all?
”Goblin Gran listened, but showed a wry smile, a real bitter smile, with a very ugly wry smile: "Don't guess, it's not what you think, if you really want the game of the gladiatorial king, I don't have to worry, whether you win or lose, it won't affect me." ”"What's that?""
Do you know the source of turmoil in Derkenthal during this time?""
Nonsense, how could I not know this!
That bastard is really a troublemaker, I said that the Arcane Society shouldn't breed these mongrels, and it's all the rage now!
”As soon as he said this, Master Kurtu hated it, he was a pure-blooded human arcanist, yes, but he was not born noble, at least not on par with those original arcane nobles.However, he worked in the Colosseum, and even took some shares as an arcanist, although it was not much, but it was extremely rich, and it could support his cultivation and study, and this Colosseum was naturally the property of the great nobles.There is a way that the ass decides the head, and with this salary and dividends, he naturally has to favor the side of the aristocratic faction.But he is an arcanist after all, and it is impossible for an arcanist to break away from the Arcanist Association, let alone cut off communication with other Arcanists.So, during this time, he was sandwiched between the aristocratic faction and the new arcanist faction, but he was not less angry, not to mention the cynicism, even the mentor of his department was putting pressure on him intentionally or unintentionally.But this side is wealth and resources, and the other side is mentorship and connections, how do you let him choose?
It's a mistake no matter how you choose!
As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to knock that bastard of Elolyn to death, well, if he could turn back time, he would definitely knock this guy to death in his apprenticeship.Hey, waiting for his thoughts to turn, Kurtu thought of this, and suddenly paused, his eyes flickered, staring at the goblin Gran: "What do you mean?"
No, I may still be involved in the fight between them, but what does it have to do with the Colosseum?
And what does it have to do with your interest in Walter?
”The goblin merchant Gran looked directly into Kurtu's eyes, and did not avoid it in the slightest, but said slowly: "I have my own channels, and I have vaguely heard some news, and the crown above us seems to be intent on resolving this conflict with a duel?"
”Kurtu's eyes widened, and he was round: "Heh, hehe, hehe, is this possible?"
”Gran's tone was very light: "I don't know, it's just vague news, I can't be sure, but, how do you think this incident should be resolved?"
Can the one above really let them go and let them conflict?
And then, civil strife broke out in Dkenthal?
”Master Kurtu frowned slightly: "That's naturally impossible, but I think as long as the crown comes forward, I can suppress this conflict!"
”"You're right, but is the contradiction resolved?
Hold it down now, what about later?
Master Kurtu, as a pure-blooded human race, a fan of the authorities, you haven't seen a lot of things thoroughly, do you really think that this turmoil can be set off by just Ai Luolin?
”After a pause, Gran added, "Whether you admit it or not, these mongrel arcanists have become the climate, and they may have been discriminated against over the years, but they have grown.Among them, there are legendary powerhouses as leaders, archmages as backbones, and there is no shortage of middle and low-level people who are waving flags and shouting.They huddle together, have their own groups, have their own ideas and interests, and when they grow stronger, they naturally want to make their voices heard.And then what?
The Cherdarin gem snatching incident that Arolyn encountered was the best fuse.That's right, this time, if the crown above comes forward and can suppress the matter, but what about the next time?
What about next time?

Arolyn will still appear second, third!
”"Could that be the case?
That's right, that's right!
”Master Kurtu is naturally not a fool, and there are naturally no fools who can become an arcanist, and even an arcane master who has reached the realm below the legend.He just glanced at Grand's statement and pondered, "However, the one above still doesn't want the conflict to explode on a large scale.He didn't care about the interests of the nobles, nor did he care about the interests of the new arcane factions, but if they killed each other and suffered heavy losses, it would be a decrease in the strength of the entire Dkentel, which would harm his interests.Therefore, if he mediates, the two parties make an agreement to settle the specific distribution of interests by winning or losing the gladiatorial battle, which is also a good way to solve the problem. ”Gran nodded slowly: "That's it, so, although it's just a vague rumor, I think this time it's very likely."
So, Master Kurtu, have you heard that phrase?
Set the city gate on fire, and the fish in the pond will be affected!
”Kurtu also understood completely, and nodded with a wry smile: "With such a big distribution of interests, you can't expect those people to be honest, so there will never be less tandem lobbying and intrigues in secret."
And you and I, the people at the center of this vortex, can't run.The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, hehe, it's really a good saying!
”Again, Kurtu looked at Gran with a slight mockery: "So, you didn't come to me today just to see what Walter was doing, right?"
Would you like to know about the Arcane Society, or more?
That's what you're really for!
”"Master Kurtu, you are an archmage, and you are at a different level than me, a merchant, but this time the matter is too big, so big that even a legend may not be able to hold it.You may think that my purpose is not pure, but please believe me, you and I are in the same situation, so I prefer to use the word "together". ”"Okay, I see, I'm going to the Arcane Tower today, I have a few old friends and mentors, and I should visit again."
Gran said very generously: "Master, this kind of visit is still not good to go empty-handed, I have already explained to the treasury, if you have anything you need to withdraw, you can sign it directly." ”Master Kurtu smiled with satisfaction, retracted his expression, and said, "If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”"Then there will be work!"
Master Kurtu left, and after walking out of this luxurious suite, he went directly to the secret vault of the Colosseum, and took a large number of precious materials and treasures with the pained expression of a goblin recorder.It's just that, after leaving, Master Kurtu didn't look at the materials and wealth again, but thought for a long time with a solemn expression before reciting the spell, opening the portal, and disappearing into the flickering elemental light.It is undeniable that what Grunn said gave Kurtu a great sense of crisis.This was something he hadn't considered before, but after all, he was the strongest group of archmages under the legend, and it was impossible that he didn't have a plan in his heart.At least, he wasn't happy to be tied to Gran, a goblin merchant!
On the other side, in the luxurious suite, Gran looked at the list handed over by the goblin recorder, and the whole person trembled in distress, but he didn't say anything after all.After the local recorder left, he threw away the recording scroll with a flick of his hand and walked over to the magic water mirror.It's amazing that after Master Kurtu left, the reflection of this magic water mirror did not disappear, although it was still very vague, but the little orcs who could distinguish it at this time had completed their painstaking awakening.It's just, looking, looking, Gran's eyes are full of madness.Grande actually hid one thing from Kurtu, a very important thing.That is, the idea of determining the distribution of benefits based on the victory or defeat of the gladiatorial battle was actually transmitted to the ears of the crown through various means.The reason is naturally a crisis, a crisis, how much danger there is, how much chance there is!
He's been in the Colosseum long enough, he needs a higher platform!
