Chapter 122: The Gambling Board

The Colosseum in the mouth of the Ninth Lord is located in the outer Illusion Zone of the Holy Land, which is where the core essence of the Holy City is located.

The exterior of the cylindrical building, the interior is a bowl shape with decreasing subsidence step by step, and there are stands for nobles and priests in the four positive directions of southeast, south, north, and west, with awnings overhead, throne-like backrest mounts, and ice cubes made of saltpeter, blowing a cold breath from different directions, sending a cool breeze to the nobles and priests who are delicate and noble.

It was the specially trained gladiators who usually performed on the Colosseum stage, and the subjects of the performance were extremely hungry lions and sand leopards, and the victorious side was often the latter, after all, the strength of the large carnivorous beasts and the sharpness of the claws were not the strength of the unarmed gladiators.

The Colosseum exists purely to satisfy the bloodthirsty and aggressive desires of the people of the empire, stimulate their latent bloodiness, and maintain a strong fighting spirit.

It is said that this barbaric and vulgar game comes from the Holy Empire on the continent of Europa, and the performers who first appeared were all lords, princes, and nobles with titles in the Holy Empire.

The conquerors of the Desert Empire watched their enemies die at the hands of wild beasts, inspiring themselves and their descendants to be victorious forever if they want to be on top of the world.

However, with the Crusades, the countries of the Europa continent have risen one after another, gradually discovering the benefits of science and technology, and there have been theft of scientific and technological products, imitation and even imitation of the finished products of science and technology.

It is a pity that the countries of the Europa continent attach importance to imitation, but do not deeply study the basic science behind it, and are always catching up, always lagging behind, and have not opened the door of modern civilization and lit the torch of scientific civilization.

Perhaps, behind all this is related to the fact that they did not experience the Renaissance, broke free from the dark medieval theocracy, and permanently changed the social system.

Of course, the actors present at the Colosseum now cannot reproduce the glory of the princes and nobles of Europa countries in the era of the conquerors, but today I got the news that the ninth lord of the Altar of Storms will fight with the wandering warriors from the great empire of the East.

The nobles of the Desert Empire knew very well that the branch in the Far East was directly destroyed by the imperial punishment of the Eastern Lord, and all the painstaking undertakings were uprooted overnight, and they tasted the taste of angering the tyrant who supported hundreds of millions of soldiers.

Now that a wandering warrior from the Eastern Empire is set to ascend to the Colosseum, many nobles who know the inside story are like bloodthirsty sharks, and the prestigious Grizzly Bear Betting is back in operation.

However, in the rumored backstage of the grizzly bear market, the odds given by the Storm Priest turned out to be that the Eastern Wandering Samurai was high, and the Ninth Lord had to be upset in order to make a profit.

In other words, even the Storm Priest was not optimistic that the Ninth Lord would win, so did this wandering warrior from the Great Eastern Empire actually have an overwhelming advantage in force?

Most of the nobles were very unconvinced by this, and they threw a lot of money to press the ninth lord to win, and only some of the well-informed nobles didn't know where to learn about the battle of the Doomsday Order's remnants of the Charcoal Burning Party, the turmoil in the Moon Bay Oasis, and placed a heavy bet on Ye Zhiqiu's body on the grizzly bear gambling market.

The people of the empire who heard the wind, according to their own preferences, especially their own feelings, naturally pressed the ninth lord to win, and the bets on the grizzly bear betting board accumulated a lot, and soon exceeded 100,000 gold, 200,000 gold, and began to advance towards 500,000 gold.

At dusk, the members of the Sharombas family, who hurried to the holy city of Mega, heard about the opening of the grizzly bear gambling market from a familiar friend, and after learning about the situation of the two sides of the duel, they brazenly smashed 300,000 gold, betting that Ye Zhiqiu would win, and the odds would be beaten down.

After the news spread, even the high priest in the depths of the core of the Holy Land was alarmed, this group of old guys had ten fingers of holy chant-level gems in their hands, and their wealth was rivaled by the country, and they learned that the amount of the gambling market was close to 800,000, and they also threw out almost equal gold, pushing the grizzly bear gambling market that opened again, and the total amount was pushed to one million.

After that, the sporadic follow-up of a few hundred gold, a few thousand gold, such a small amount of money no longer attracted the attention of the people concerned, and everyone in the Holy City was attracted to the attention, and the Colosseum was not only full, but even the aisles and corridors were full of people.

Ye Zhiqiu sat cross-legged on the hot sand, entered a deep state of concentration, adjusted his physical and mental state with breathing, and must reach the most perfect state.

As for the Ninth Lord from the Altar of Storms, because of the importance of the matter, he was dragged back to the modulation tank by the priests, and in the vital points of his body, especially the most important joints, he was inlaid with fine singing crystals, especially the "furnace" that controlled his own gravity!

"You are just a universal Storm Lord, corresponding to the Bronze Saint Seiya of the Athenian Sanctuary, and maybe you can be as long as the Silver Saint Seiya. The Temporary Crystal will give you an additional increase in the ability of the Gravitational Bringer, which is different from the third-ranked original, but is a one-time use, which should increase your chances of victory. ”

"Shalombas and a few of the great nobles teamed up to make a big bet, almost against the entire Holy City. Once we win, it's all well to say, and if we miss, the Grizzly Bear market will pay astronomical amounts of gold. You understand the gravity of the matter, right?"

The Ninth Lord is not very accustomed to the extra singing crystals in his body, after all, this is the forbidden science flowing from the "Gate of Truth", and he only gains the ability to talk to clouds and thunder, which is at least ten times stronger than ordinary Storm Child.

Therefore, when the proud Ninth Lord left the modulation tank, he did not show his true form, but still curled up hair, wet and fitting his body, and a cloth towel wrapped around his waist, holding the key points, lest he would be seen by outsiders and feel inferior.

When the Ninth Lord walked into the Colosseum with a steady pace, he was greeted by cheers from the audience, and with his proud character, he couldn't help but raise his arms high and make a declaration of victory.

At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu, who was not listening to things outside the window and was concentrating on meditating on the heart of a sage, suddenly opened his eyes, and the divine light in his eyes was contained, obviously after a long period of adjustment, he had achieved a perfect state.

"If you still want to retain your strength, there's no need to hide it. My sword technique is enough to cut everything with one sword!"

In Ye Zhiqiu's field of vision, the Ninth Lord who came on the opposite side loomed on his body, and more than a dozen black lines appeared on his body, all of which were slashed with a single sword, and they were undoubtedly fatal to death.

The Ninth Lord had seen Ye Zhiqiu's "No Thick Entry" knife technique, and immediately activated a "Singing Crystal" in his body, mastering the ability to "manipulate muscles", causing the burly body to swell up sharply.

In a trance, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes saw a lot fewer black lines, leaving only the two fatal points of the neck and the center of the eyebrows, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Exploding the flesh steel body, the cavernous skin, or the meat armor? can actually make the vital points of the body ineffective in a short period of time, it is indeed commendable!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Zhiqiu took half a step forward with his right foot, his hands retracted from his waist, and his palms pressed against the handle of the scimitar, and everyone present did not react, and the two Damascus scimitars were already out of their sheaths.

"Really, Crescent Sky Rush *2!"

Ye Zhiqiu slashed the air and inspired two vacuum blades, staggered into a cross shape, sticking to the ground, and attacked the Ninth Lord not far away.

According to the law that whoever strikes first will lose, and the audience in the Colosseum immediately cheered, as if they had seen the Ninth Lord win and win a lot of gold himself.
