Dekenthal, inside Walter's personal training ground.At this time, Richard was running, carrying a log at least twice the length of his body on his shoulder, and a half-man-high boulder was tied with ropes at both ends, and the whole person was moving like a hill.He weighed at least two tons or more, but his running speed was not slow, and there were clear footprints on the ground where he passed.Although in terms of orcs, the Pigs are not a powerful war race, at least compared to the bear warriors of the Bill tribe, the giant elephant warriors of the Orephine tribe, the Rhine mad lion swordsman, and the Wolf Silver Wolf Knight, they can only be regarded as a subsidiary race.But orcs are different from orcs, and individual achievements cannot be completely defined by race, at least, the strength shown by Richard is not much worse than that of the mighty Oriffin colossus, and the tenacity is not inferior to the Wolf Silver Wolf Knight.On the side, on the side of the runway, Walter stood with a wooden stick in his hand, his posture and expression, as if a stern instructor was urging his students, but if you look closely at his expression, it is not difficult to find that this one's brows are furrowed from time to time, and his eyes are slightly distracted, and he seems absent-minded.In the void, Amon said in disbelief after understanding the basic situation: "Walter, do you mean that the master of the Arcane Tower, His Majesty the Grand Arcanist Dekental Toronto, actually decided to solve this conflict in the form of a gladiatorial battle?"
Isn't that child's play?
In other words, is there such a one-size-fits-all approach to political struggle?
”Frankly, Amon's expression was wonderful at this time, because even a well-informed person like him had never seen Netheriel's way of dealing with it.In his cognition, where there are people, there is politics, and where there is politics, there are compromises and struggles, deals and intrigues, and all kinds of squalor and betrayal.In a situation like that of Deckertel, there are only two outcomes in his opinion.Either tear the skin and directly mobilize their final cards and force to fight a big brawl, or they will lose to a certain extent and will no longer be willing to continue, compromise with each other, and reach a new balance.These are all normal, but the current situation is that the Arcanist directly jumped out under the crown and said, win or lose in a gladiatorial battle, and decide the battle in one battle?
And then, that's it?
Amon always felt that this was too much, nondescript!
Relatively speaking, Walter accepted it quickly, he tilted his head slightly, seemed to think for a moment, and said slowly: "This news has actually been circulated for a long time, and it can even be traced back to March ago, when Richard went out for revenge.But later, after a long time, there was no movement from the person above, and gradually, it faded!
”After a pause, Walter seemed to remember something again, and said: "Yes, during that time, I also asked someone to ask, and the general situation is that there is a certain big man in that crown" As the king of gladiatorial battles for three consecutive years, although Walter is still a slave, the news channel is not bad, at least, inside and outside the Colosseum, he has to give him some face, and it is not difficult to inquire about this news.Amon still had doubts: "Then what is the situation now?"
”"Probably the crown is a little impatient, maybe the messy Dekentel makes him look unpleasant.""
But I still can't understand how a gladiatorial battle can resolve the contradictions between the two sides?
Could it be that if one side wins, the other side will completely admit defeat?
Those people are still there, those forces are still there, and they will only choose to give up their inherent interests because of the victory or defeat of a gladiatorial battle?
”Walter was a little curious: "Why don't they give up?
Interests are important, but lives are more important, right?
As long as one side loses, it means that the crown is directly on the other side, and then, there is no suspense.Isn't this okay?
”"That way, it seems to be really possible!
Amon was stunned, he suddenly found that he still didn't understand the mode of political struggle in this plane, it seemed, there were not so many twists and turns, there were not so many intrigues, but more straightforward.After a pause, he smoothed out his train of thought and spoke again: "That is, within a month, each side will pick out its own gladiators.Then, there will be a gladiatorial match in this Colosseum.Presided over by His Majesty, with the personnel sent by the Arcane Association to do justice, and with the witness of almost all the people who can come to the stage in Dkenttal, and then the winner will be determined by the winner of the battle, and the winner will have the full support of the Grand Arcanist, and he will take it all.The loser will hand over all his rights and wealth, either leave directly, or be crushed into powder by the latecomers.Is that so?
”Walter nodded again: "That's it!"
”Amon had to sigh: "It's really simple and rude!
So, Walter, the next question, will you play in this gladiatorial fight?
If so, who will you represent?
”Walter smiled bitterly: "The Colosseum belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly the leader of the old aristocratic faction.As for me, will it use me?
I don't know, and I'm not sure, but," Speaking of this, Walter sighed unconsciously: "However, in the past three years, I have won too many times. ”Yes, the king of gladiatorial fighting for three consecutive years, which is rare in the entire history of the advent of the Nine Towers and the establishment of the Colosseum.It can be said that Walter's winning streak is his former pride, and it may also become his current talisman.At this point, both Walter and Amon were a little silent, and after a long time, Amon asked a crucial question."
Words?
Since the person above likes to use this neat way to resolve conflicts, then implement it?
Why does it take so long?
It took three months, almost a hundred days, and the whole of Dekental was about to become a pot of porridge before he appeared.And then, such a simple and crude method was announced?
Why is that?
”Walter shrugged: "I don't know about this question, perhaps, there are still countless people in Dkenthal today, who are doubting and speculating." ”There is no doubt that the Great Arcane Tower of Dkenthal is the heart of this territory, but it is too high above the reach of mortals.And in the eyes of mortals, the core of power that rules over these millions of people is undoubtedly the City Lord's Mansion.At this time, in the city lord's mansion, there was a study room that seemed simple, but it revealed luxury in every detail.The Colosseum's administrator, the goblin merchant Gran, confronts his master and asks the same question."
Great master, allow me to raise my own questions, the solution to the gladiatorial battle has been proposed for so long, but there has been no response, why is it being raised again?"
Because of some ulterior motives, Grande must understand this problem, otherwise he will not be at peace in his heart.Opposite Grande was an old man with gray hair, a thin face and pursed lips, a gray hair meticulously groomed, and the aristocratic clothes on his body could not be wrinkled.His eyes are old and clear, revealing the coldness that can see through people's hearts, and the whole person exudes an awe-inspiring and majestic momentum, which makes people dare not look directly.He was the lord of Dkentel, the strongman who had held power in the city for nearly thirty years, Roots Wolfgündkentel.Yes, he is the master of the Arcane Tower, the descendant of the bloodline under the crown, but it would be a mistake to think that he could get to this position just by relying on this surname.You must know that seventy years ago, he was just an illegitimate son of the collateral line, and he was not only deprived of the qualification to bear the surname, but also was targeted and bullied by the main family.The heirs of Dekenthal, who are high in the sky, are almost desperate to erase this stain on him.And he, step by step, stepped into a high position in this storm, and with the support of those aristocratic factions, he wiped out the former Dekenthal cleanly, and ascended to the throne below this person and above ten thousand people.As a result, he also became the leader of the aristocratic faction step by step.The old man did not answer the goblin merchant's question immediately, but slowly shook the wine glass in his hand, looking at the circle of red and rippling, as if he was in a trance, and as if he was thinking.It wasn't until a long time later that he took a sip of red wine, turned his gaze to the goblin merchant kneeling on the ground, and asked, "You seem to be very concerned about this?"
”The goblin merchant Gran trembled, as if under great pressure, and cold sweat seeped out unconsciously, but he still replied strongly: "The great master is above, I dare not hide the slightest, the main thing is that I am afraid!"
Three months ago, when the news spread, I was mentally prepared, but there was no movement.Now, three months later, I suddenly made this decision, and I, I always feel unsure. ”"Hehe" The old man suddenly smiled, although the smile was very cold, but it showed his posture, his gaze shifted, looking out the window, as if he saw a lot of people of all kinds.So, he said slowly: "I think, there should be many people like you now, who are having trouble sleeping and eating because of this?"
Will they guess that this is the crown above is deliberately manipulating?
Or do you want to wait and see how things go, so you're not in a hurry to speak up?
Or is there something else brewing?
Huh, isn't that so?
”Ge Lang raised his head slightly, looked at the old man, and asked cautiously, "Isn't it?"
”The old man put down his glass, looked down again, and said, "Then if I tell you, all this is just an experiment done by His Majesty, which took three months.You, believe it or not?
”"Huh?
How is this possible?
”Gran almost blurted out, but as soon as he spoke, he noticed the complexity in his master's gaze, like a dumped seasoning jar, with mixed tastes."
But, that's the truth!"
The old man restrained his emotions and said slowly: "The reason why it was delayed for three months was because that one suddenly had some ideas and ideas, so he entered the laboratory with a few right-hand men.Then, an experiment, which took three months.Hehe, maybe many people hear this, and think it's impossible, thinking that this is the smoke bomb released by the person.But in fact, that's the truth. ”After a pause, the old man said again: "For that person, as long as the Arcane Tower is there, as long as there is an endless supply of resources, nothing else matters.It didn't matter if it was a struggle, or about the contradictions between the old nobles and the new arcanists, none of this was worth mentioning in his eyes.Because, even if these people betrayed him, he could kill everyone as long as he wanted, and then support another part of the people to take the throne.It is also because he is confident that no matter who is in charge, he must tremble in his shadow and do things carefully.Since you can't turn the sky, it really doesn't matter. ”"This is the real realm of the strong!"
In the end, the old man's voice was very soft, as if he was speaking to Grand, and as if he was speaking to himself.And Gran listened in a cold sweat.This is almost a red fruit that illustrates the attitude of the person above, and it is also the gap in absolute strength!

Finally, the old man spoke again: "Okay, just listen to the above, these are actually not areas you can touch.Now, what we have to face is actually this gladiatorial battle, don't think that the crown is just talking.This battle really determines our life and death!
”Speaking of this, the old man looked at Glenn and asked, "What do you think of this battle, let Walter fight?"
