Chapter 878: Gladiatorial Fight (1)
As the sun sets over the sea level, Ascatra finally enters the night, and the Shadow Thieves leave the guild and begin to wander the streets, reclaiming control of the underworld since the vampires were eliminated, and although it is only half of it, it is still majestic.
As for the other half of the territory under Robert's control, it is much more low-key, and on the surface it seems to be completely subordinate to Renault. The same as the bloody head.
However, the blood head knew that this qiΔ was just for outsiders to see, and the other party's strength was much stronger than his own, especially since he was still a terrifying legendary spellcaster in the background, so he never dared to make any small moves, nor did he try to win over one or two leaders as internal responses, in the face of absolutely powerful forces, these small tricks are all jokes.
In fact, as one of the members of the Shadow Council, the blood head can see the form more clearly than most of the thieves of the mixed guild, and he understands that there is no room for his own expansion around Am, so he took the initiative to set his sights on the guild-ridden Port Carlin, which is a land of chaos and a paradise for thieves, but due to xenophobia and other reasons, the infiltration of the Shadow Thieves Guild has not been very successful.
But now it's different, since Henry's spore plant "Elysium Dream" has been planted and sold in large quantities in the sewers, countless people have been caught up in it, especially those young men and women who like to seek thrills, and they have to buy a little bit almost every day.
They use this β₯ hallucination, which can greatly stimulate the nerves and cause little harm to the body, as a daily necessity, and take a little while exercising in bed to better experience the dreamy pleasure, and the gray-haired old men occasionally buy some. So that you can regain your strength.
In just a few months. The terrible sales volume turned the bloody head from a debt operation to a huge profit in one fell swoop. As a result of the "blissful dream" crushed other narcotics. directly led the subordinate guilds to have less income, and those ambitious leaders were much more honest, and they no longer dared to make small moves in private.
Seeing that the market around Ascatla was saturated, he didn't know how many times, but he set his sights on the port of CarlΓn, with the ambition of opening up the situation by monopolizing the goods.
In the middle of the night, at a secret berth in the dock area, smuggling boats loaded with "Elysian Dreams" docked there. The legendary thief Arcanis stood at the bow of the ship, staring at each porter with a grim face. He couldn't remember how many thieves he had killed in the months to steal the goods, and the purple powder seemed to have some kind of magic that made it difficult for anyone who smoked it to quit.
A poet once sighed after tasting it: "Quit tobacco makes people irritable, quitting other narcotics makes people want to die, as for the feeling of quitting "blissful dreams", it is better to die and pull down ......"
As the last sealed wooden barrel was moved into the cabin, the bloody head nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the first batch of goods will be up to you to make a trip to contact the local guild." Remember, you can earn a little less on this shipment. But be sure to get a foothold, which is crucial for later infiltration. β
"Understood. I'll find a solid partner, if anyone wants to eat black ......" Speaking of this, Arcanis paused deliberately, and two cold lights burst out of his eyes.
"If anyone wants to eat black, kill him, keep his hands and feet clean, and try not to leave any handles. The guilds of Port Carlin are very wary of outsiders, and try not to provoke them. Bloody head took the second half of the sentence.
He knew the character of his subordinates, and he had always done it if he didn't do it, and if he did it, it would be a river of blood, so he hurriedly made restrictions, otherwise there would be a big mess in the whole Port Carlin.
The ambitious leader of the thieves does not just want to do business, but also intends to expand his territory, and the loss of killing without gaining a firm foothold is definitely not worth the loss.
Hearing the boss's advice, Arcanis nodded expressionlessly: "Understand, only kill the leader, and ignore the rest." β
"Yes, the guilds of Port Carlin are different from us, they are not well organized, and the death of their leader will soon be plunged into civil strife for power. Try not to worry about it, just keep an eye on the guild leaders. In addition, the site does not need to be too big, there is a street, try to be closer to the port. Bloodhead patiently explained.
"Got it, I'll first get in touch with the guilds that have a site in the docklands. It's almost midnight, and if there's nothing I'll do first, it'll take at least three or four days to get from here to Port Carlin. With that, Arcanis jumped onto the deck with a leap and waved at his boss.
Soon, under the gaze of the bloody head, the small ship slowly sailed away from the harbor and disappeared into the endless sea.
β¦β¦
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two more days passed, and the demolition of the shantytown went unusually well, and the road to the market had been opened due to the sheer number of workers employed, and although there was still a bit of garbage on both sides, at least three horse-drawn carriages could be used side by side.
But that's not what Henry needs to worry about at the moment, he's sitting in the dungeon of the East End Arena, waiting boredly for the finale.
Anyway, for him, it was just a show, showing the killing and violence to the fullest, and the audience was excited with blood and death, and there was no difficulty at all.
"Master, you'd better get up and warm up, it's our turn for the next game." Carol cautionarily reminded.
Since being violently beaten, this "King Kong Barbie" with angel face and devil muscles is like a different person, without any of the previous arrogance and self-confidence, and even speaks softly, like an angry little girl. She is now Henry's personal bodyguard, responsible for sending those who are annoying.
Henry opened his eyes and glanced at the female warrior who still had a look of fear, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and asked, "Tell me, who are my opponents?" β
Carol subconsciously avoided the sharp gaze, lowered his head and whispered: "First a fire giant, then a scuffle, there will be about twenty gladiators to besiege us, and finally a giant carnivorous dinosaur that has just been transported from other places. In addition, Hamid has invited Gayasi, the contractor of the Westside Colosseum, so it is likely that he will send his best gladiators to challenge. This is a traditional event in the battle between the two great arenas. β
"Huh. Sounds interesting. Looks like I can get some exercise today. With that, Henry got up from the ground and patted Ares on the head. Lazy worm, get up, and make a good point for a while, so that these Kalinshan people who have never seen the world can open their eyes. β
"Roar!"
The giant brown bear, disguised as a panda, staggered up from the ground and let out a low roar, which, although it sounded quite imposing, was hard to associate with a beast.
Simply stretch your muscles and ligaments. Henry picked up a magic knife that Hamid had prepared and carried it behind his back. In order not to reveal his identity, he did not use the "Daken's Seth Knife", because the substance "Karachi" is too rare in the main plane, and it is easy for people to identify it.
As soon as he finished dressing, a strong man with a top body rushed in from the passage and shouted: "Bai Yisi! Mr. Bois! It's your turn! β
"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way, I still want to kill all my opponents and go to lunch." After saying that, Henry walked directly into the gladiator entrance passage. He always had a nonchalant smile on his face, and he didn't seem to have the slightest idea of the coming tragic battle.
Ares followed with her big ass wriggling, while Carol followed last with trepidation, even though she had been called the strongest gladiator. But I've never faced an opponent as big as a fire giant or a giant carnivorous dinosaur.
In fact, when dealing with large creatures, the weaknesses and disadvantages of human warriors will be infinitely magnified. Because their weapons are often not able to kill with one hit, they can only dodge the attack with their nimble skills, and then cut a gap on the opponent's body and slowly bleed, once they meet the kind of guy who has the ability to heal themselves, then the warrior will be completely blind.
In this regard, the caster is much better. Whether it is a magic user, a magic spell, or a psionic power, it is easy to ignore the powerful ** and life force, and directly attack the more fragile internal organs and souls.
As soon as he stepped out of the passage, Henry immediately heard a deafening cheer, and a man blessed with "illusion" was standing on the high platform and shouting: "Audience! Now the one who appears is the druid who defeated the last strongest gladiator Carlo - Bois!! See that black and white monster bear? That's his animal buddy! And today Carol will also appear as his assistant! Bring you a wonderful gladiatorial battle! β
"Whoa!!!
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's get started! I can't wait to see them fight the Fire Giants! β
"Hahahaha! Kill, kill, kill! We're going to see blood splattered! β
"Boy! Hurry up and die! I bought fifty gold coins for the Fire Giant! β
β¦β¦
Henry's appearance made all the audience excited, they were just coming for the finale of a few days, after all, whether it is a fire giant, or a large carnivorous dinosaur is quite rare, not to mention that they are only fighting against two humans and a strange bear, just thinking about it makes people's blood rush, coupled with the exciting betting, it is enough to make many gamblers excited to the point of uncontrollable.
In order to be able to pit the old opponent fiercely, Hamid deliberately leaked Henry's age, in the eyes of most people, no matter how powerful a teenager is, it is impossible to be the opponent of the fire giant and the carnivorous dinosaur, so they have put money on the monsters, even the contractor of the West End Colosseum, Gayasi, who did not hesitate to place a heavy bet.
Looking at the one-sided betting, Hamid was about to go crazy with joy in his heart, but he still pretended to be cold on the surface, just waiting for a while to enjoy the wonderful expression of his old opponent after losing money.
On the other side, Gayasi was doing the same, and in his eyes Hamid must be pretending to be calm, and it won't be long before he cries.
The two old foxes glanced at each other with a ghostly look, and then turned their heads to stare at the gladiatorial battle that was about to begin below......
