Aegean plane, Colosseum, Walter personal training ground.In the huge training ground, Richard was the only one standing quietly in the middle of the training ground, he was naked, wearing only a trouser pocket, which wrapped the important parts of the man.He held the big iron that looked like a sword in both hands, and was swinging it over and over again, his speed was not fast, and sometimes he even had a long time of accumulation, as if he was looking for a feeling, but every blow was with all his might.The long sword swept through the air, smashing out a roar that tore through the air, bringing up an air current that would hit several meters away, although there was no substantial damage, but in the direction the long sword pointed, the gravel on the ground had been blown out of a clear cut, revealing the solid ground inside.Maintaining this position, Richard had already made countless empty swings, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat, like raindrops, flowing down his body that already had obvious muscle outlines.This is actually the reason why Richard chose to train naked.There is no way, after this group of training, the clothes on the body will be soaked with sweat, and at the end of the day, there are no three or four sets of clothes, and they can't be changed at all.So, gradually, as long as Catwoman Evely is not there, he will choose to train naked, and after completing the mission goal, he will jump directly to the hot spring in the center of the training ground, scrub it at will, and wipe it chaotically after coming out, and then he can put on his clean clothes.In this way, at the end of the day, the time spent doing laundry can be saved.That's right, just to save time, now he is very, very busy!
It seems that because of the desertion of thoughts, Richard's sword was swung, and the sound of breaking the air was slightly dull, not only failed to set off enough airflow, but the already clean ground did not splash half a piece of gravel.This sword was obviously unqualified, but Richard frowned, but did not continue, but stopped, pestle the ground with his sword, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the Colosseum, slightly worried.He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.In the distance, there were also intermittent voices, where there were countless shouts, painful howls, and hysterical terrified fears.There, there's a gladiatorial battle going on.Richard listened carefully, and carefully distinguished, after the success of the painstaking enlightenment, his ear power has been greatly improved, although the sound of one after another seems noisy and chaotic, he can still distinguish that there is no Walter battle roar in it.That's a good thing, because it means Walter hasn't played yet.But this is not a good thing, because as the gladiatorial king of the Colosseum, Walter will still be the finale, and this battle is almost inevitable!
Today, Richard is no longer the original mine slave, he has successfully awakened his heart and soul and become a qualified orc warrior.He also learned a lot of basics under the tutelage of Walter and Evely, including about Dkentel and Orcs, the history of human invasions, and the current situation of the major forces in the plane.And this includes some basic information about the Colosseum!
On the Aegean plane, the human invaders of Netherel built nine cities on nine large ore veins with the Mage Tower as the core.And every city will have a Colosseum, and every Colosseum will have a full gladiatorial team.Whenever these nine gladiatorial teams get together and start an endless gladiatorial battle, even the battle for the king of the Nine Towers gladiatorial battle, it will also attract almost all the city's high-level and those big people to watch, and even those grand arcanists will come in person.Of course, the Battle for the King of the Nine Towers is after all a repertoire for Netheriel's humans at the Grand Festival, and it is an event that only celebrates, most of which are organized by the Interstellar Floating City itself.In normal times, the gladiatorial teams in each city are more like guards, and there will be other nobles, or legendary arcanists organize their own gladiatorial teams, and constantly challenge them.There are many rules and different approaches to this challenge, but there is no doubt that each time, each one will bring great benefits.Not to mention the various gambling markets for the results of the game, not to mention the huge ticket revenue, the popularity and prestige brought by the victory alone is enough to make countless people flock to it.There is even a rule in the Colosseum, if you can stand to the end and directly kill the king of gladiatorial fighting on the defending side, you can replace it and obtain the management of the Colosseum.That's right, the management of the Colosseum is never static, but is determined by the victory or defeat of the gladiatorial king.This method ensures that the gladiatorial team left in the Colosseum must be the strongest.And the reason why Walter, the bear warrior of the Bill clan, can make the goblin merchant Gran pinch his nose and recognize his various privileges is because when he arrived three years ago, he has never lost a battle to ascend to the throne of the gladiatorial king.In other words, the great nobleman behind Grande has been holding the Colosseum for three years.And this share of interest is enough for those real bigwigs, even legendary arcanists, to ignore.It is also based on this that almost every city has a big nobleman and a big arcanist, and will raise their own gladiators, and over time, having a gladiatorial team of their own has become the standard and symbol of those big men in major cities.There are also monthly gladiatorial battles, which almost never stop, and the sand laid in the Colosseum is also stained with blood and reddish-brown.And today, it is the second gladiatorial battle after Richard entered the Colosseum, and the reason why Walter did not train Richard here is because he has to face another challenger.Even Richard didn't need to inquire to know that Walter's opponent this time was a legendary arcanist who spent a lot of resources in exchange for a plane merchant, a slayer from a dragonborn plane, and a terrifying black dragon spawn netter.Frankly, Richard was worried!
To talk about Richard's mentality, even until now, he has a strong sense of unreality.He was originally an ordinary mining slave, who would die at any time in the mine, and a lowly Pige orc, suddenly faced the robbery of a noble lord, and was thrown into this Colosseum, after a battle of life and death.Okay, that should be a fight, but he did come to the brink of life and death.When he was sober again, he became a disciple of Walter, the warrior of the Bill Bear clan and the king of gladiatorial battles.The famous bear warrior Walter, this is Richard's thunderous reputation in the mine, he is an undefeated warrior in the gladiatorial arena, and he is an incomparably powerful brave.But now, he has actually become his master?
The change came so quickly, so suddenly, that by now, Richard was in a trance.When he wakes up every morning, the first thing he always does is pinch his thigh, telling himself that this is not a dream, it is really not a dream!
Of course, being Walter's disciple is a tiring thing.It can almost be said that from the moment he woke up, he was never at ease, he was either training, or on the way to training, and occasionally some free time was also crammed with various courses.Evely, Catwoman of the Carter tribe, is not only Walter's maid, but also has a profound knowledge, not only teaching him the language, characters, customs and history of the orcs, but also teaching some fishing experience, means of survival in the wilderness, and ways to stealth and hide.As if Walter and Evely were trying to fill all their knowledge and learning into his mind in the shortest possible time, Richard was forced to endure both physical and mental torture and exhaustion.At some point, Richard felt that he was the waterwheel outside the mining village, beside the creek, which had never stopped since the day it was erected, and that there was only life that was constantly running.However, Richard never complained, and never wanted to!
He was born as a mining slave and had seen the cruelty of life at the bottom, and they could do the cruelest thing for a piece of black bread that was hard enough to break their teeth.And now, as long as he studies and trains, he can have enough food to eat, and what is he not satisfied with this alone?
What's more, he knows the value of these knowledge and power systems better than anyone else, and he can feel that his strength is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.These, if not for chance, in the pit, he would not be able to touch it in this life.Of course, there are moments of joy in hard training, and Richard likes to listen to Walter tell him stories.There are orcs running wantonly in the wilderness, watching the sunset over the long river from the top of the mountain, roaring in the sky, fighting with the migration of tribes, and facing powerful enemies, summoning up courage and fighting to the death.Between those words, there was always an aura called freedom, Richard didn't understand, but this didn't prevent him from yearning, it seemed that in his bones, he always felt that that was the life that orcs should have.Richard wasn't stupid, but very perceptive, and he didn't know why Mentor Walter was doing this.And why are you so good to him, just like your parents?
But this does not erase the gratitude in his heart, which is not mixed with any utilitarian component.He worries about them as much as he worries about his mother!
In the distance, there were cheers again, and it was clear that another gladiatorial battle had begun, and many people were shouting loudly, and Richard could not help but get nervous again when he heard Walter's name.He couldn't go to the gladiatorial arena to watch, that wasn't his right, but that didn't stop him from listening, he unconsciously straightened his waist, pricked up his ears, and tried to listen to the movement in the distance.He heard the roar of a dragon, with a majesty that made his heart tremble.He also heard Mr.
Walter's roar, the roar of the giant bear that seemed to ignite everyone's courage.Then, there were the collisions, the screams, the screams, and the hysterical shouts of countless people.At this moment, Richard felt that his heart was in his throat, his blood was boiling, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling.At this moment, he felt that time seemed to have slowed down, and it was no longer possible to suppress the apprehension in his heart.Anyway, Walter didn't disappoint, the final roar of victory belonged to him, and it was the last descendant of the evil dragon who whimpered and howled.At this moment, Richard only felt extremely excited, he directly swung the sword in his hand, the black iron broke through the air, with a tearing scream, directly leaving a scar embedded in the ground, even extending to ten meters away.This sword was definitely played at a super level, which made Richard a little incredible, but then the fatigue and muscle soreness and weakness of his body after the excitement made him unable to even hold the black sword in his hand.However, he didn't care, anyway, no matter how hard he trained during the day, how tired he was, and how many injuries he suffered, it would only take one night.As long as he has a good night's sleep, the next day, he will be alive and alive again, full of blood.Except for the fact that every morning when I wake up, I seem to be sweating and need to change my clothes, there is no aftermath at all.Even, sometimes, those combat skills taught by Walter, what is the only condensation?
What kind of sword swing, mobilize the whole body strength or something?
He couldn't get his hands on these vague things, but as long as he had a good night's sleep, he felt much easier the next day, as if he hadn't reacted to what to do, but his muscles already remembered.Of course, this is not the strangest thing, the strangest thing is that there are some things that Walter himself teaches ambiguously, and he is questioned, speechless, and resolutely not demonstrate.But the next day, he was able to give a reasonable explanation, of course, he still resolutely did not demonstrate.Richard was not without curiosity, but most of them were attributed to the effect of his whims, and he did not delve into it.Throwing away the black sword casually, Richard came to the hot spring in two steps, and a fierce man pierced into it, and he came up again, holding the water droplets on his face, and his eyes were much clearer.He knew that Walter would not return directly after the war, so he lay down on the edge of the hot springs, raised his hand, and used his fingers as a pen to draw something on the sand.It's a very simple outline, but if someone familiar with it thinks of the street layout of the Colosseum, you will find that this is actually a map.That's right, it's the map!
And Richard is planning to abscond!
He didn't really want to leave, and he didn't want to leave Walter and Evely, but he had to.He needed to see his mother.My father is gone, and I am here again, leaving my mother alone in the mining village, this is no longer a problem that Richard is not worried about?
It's that he is afraid that when he goes out, his mother is gone.In the mining village, people are dying every day!
And the mine, every time you go down, someone can't come up!
This is too normal, Richard is afraid, really afraid, so, he knows that this is not a very good choice, but since he has successfully mastered a certain degree of power, he has never given up his intention to leave here.Now, after this battle, Mentor Walter has won, and at least a month, there should be no more competition for the gladiatorial king.It's not that there are any specific rules, but that being stingy like the goblin merchant Gran will also allow the gladiatorial kings under his command to rest and recover sufficiently.After all, if you lose the war, you will lose huge benefits, not a joke.Now, all Richard had to do was go back to the mining village, and he didn't know how to settle his mother, but he didn't have to worry so much about it now.Every day spent was one more danger to his mother, and he couldn't wait.Somehow, Evely taught him a lot of stealth techniques, and he seemed to have an instinctive familiarity with the Colosseum, and he learned how to restrain himself from breathing.All this gave him confidence!
Time was running out, and he felt that it was time to leave tonight.
