The Origin of Arcane

Sean hesitated for a moment, and finally put away the door plate. After all, it was a confrontation between two champion knights, which represented the collision of the top forces in the Arshan Continent. It was rarely seen except on the battlefield.

It would be a lie to say that Sean is not curious about the combat power of a real humanoid monster like the champion knight. Even if there is no ticket sent by Angel Berna, it is impossible for him to find a way to get one after hearing about it.

During these three days, the streets and alleys of Solo City were all talking about this matter. The competition was naturally held at the Solo Arena, the largest arena in Solo City. There were as many as 50,000 tickets, but it took only half a day to sell them all. Nearly 60,000 copies were produced.

The remaining 10,000 tickets were aisle standing tickets, which were sold by Solo city hall officials at 80% of the normal ticket price.

Hearing this news, Sean retreated straight away, and he could predict how chaotic and crowded the day of the gladiatorial competition would be.

In the past life with relatively complete security measures, stampedes at various large-scale events were not uncommon.

The security measures of Solo City Hall are decorations. They are only responsible for selling tickets to make money, and they basically don't care about the rest.

When watching gladiatorial competitions, it is not uncommon to fight for seats. Sometimes the fights on the stage are more intense than the competitions in the arena. It is not uncommon for other spectators to watch and cheer in turn.

Coupled with the fact that the radicals and the conservatives are fighting fiercely, they have already played a real fire, and the day of the finals will be a duel between the most representative figures of the two sides.

Who knows if their confrontation will affect the emotions of the two factions. If one is not well controlled, it will be a large-scale fighting. Just thinking about it makes Sean feel insecure.

Fortunately, Angel Bena got special tickets through her relationship, and the location is near the rostrum, where the security measures should be the best. Because of this kind of grand event, Duke Borg, the supreme ruler of the Manyu Army, will definitely attend. of.

If it was an ordinary ticket, Sean would have thrown it directly into the trash can.

Darnell, the former head of the Sword of Saint Ether, was very open-minded, and he didn't deliberately conceal his past identity. When Xiao En made side attacks, he directly backed up.

He even confided indifferently the reason for his resignation as the head of the Sword of Saint Ether, because he was dissatisfied with some of the behavior of the Pope.

It is believed that since he took over, the Holy See of Saint Ether has embarked on a crooked path, valuing rights and wealth far more than educating believers.

It was also from then on that he even wavered in his own beliefs.

Over the years, he has been using the methods of ascetic monks to regain his lost faith, but with little success, not as shocking as Xiao En's nonsense.

Darnell was also very surprised when he heard that Angelberina was the student he had let go of the witch. He sighed that there was no coincidence, and at the same time he lamented the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

The little girl who had just awakened back then not only became the teacher of others, but also became one of the powerful figures in the witch secret society.

He has become a lost faith who has achieved nothing, trying to find his own new way.

Originally, Sean still wanted to invite Darnell to watch the finals together. With such a man standing at the top of the power pyramid by his side, he felt absolutely safe.

He was mercilessly rejected by Darnell. He called the much-anticipated match a barbaric collision without nutrition. It was not as powerful as the impact brought by new medical techniques. With this spare time, it would be better to receive a few more patients.

The strong reason makes Xiao En irrefutable. After all, in terms of force, he has nothing to pursue. It is meaningless to increase his strength by a few pounds and increase his speed by 0.01 seconds.

Darnell's swordsmanship can be described in two sentences, the strength is strong enough, and the speed is fast enough.

When he drew the sword, Xiao En's eyes couldn't keep up, which also confirmed that the sword shadow is not a legend, but a real existence.

On the day of the finals of the gladiatorial competition, Sean entered the arena early. When he arrived, he realized that there was never a shortage of old fritters in this world. There were many people who arrived earlier than him. An hour before the start of the match, the Borg arena was crowded with people. It's full.

Your Majesty the King!

Your Majesty the King!

Your Majesty the King!

When the obese figure of Duke Borg appeared in the stands, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. It was unknown whether it was intentional, sincere, or both.

Anyway, what was displayed in front of Duke Borg was the touching scene of himself being deeply supported.

After standing in front of the rostrum for nearly a minute, Duke Borg threw himself into a large chair and said to the Minister of Finance beside him.

I heard that it was your idea to sell an extra 10,000 standing tickets this time?

That's right, it's indeed the minister's idea. The aisle and corridor are very wide, so it's not a problem to accommodate an extra 10,000 people. Ming Weilang didn't hide his secrets, The opportunity is rare...

Okay, don't complain, I also know that you are thinking about the military leader's finances, but have you considered the safety issue? Once there is a riot, it is easy to cause a tragedy in the camp, and it is not something that can be solved by a small profit. .”

Duke Borg is also an old soldier, so he is naturally aware of the tragedies that are likely to erupt when people get together.

It's the minister who didn't think carefully. Ming Weilang wiped the cold sweat from his brow, he only cared about collecting money to solve the financial crisis, and didn't consider this aspect.

Okay, I'm not blaming, don't be so eager for quick success next time you do something.

The Duke of Borg really couldn't bring himself to blame Ming Weilang, because he knew how bad the army's finances were during this period, and it would last for several years. The war was easy to subside, but it was not so easy to restore production. Naturally, there is no taxation for production, and a cautious person like Ming Weilang would not have made such a bad move if he hadn't been forced to do so.

I will definitely pay attention next time. Ming Weilang promised quickly.

Your Majesty, he is Doctor Tang.

The guard next to Duke Borg whispered in his ear.

Duke Borg looked in the direction pointed by the guards. In the auditorium next to the rostrum on the right, sat a tall young Andis man with a serious expression on his face, but slightly The immature face shows that the other party is not very old.

Across the guardrail, there were people talking to Angel Bena in the stands.

The other party seemed to sense something, looked over, and met Duke Borg's eyes. Unexpectedly, the other party was very calm, stood up and bowed halfway to show respect, and then sat back calmly.

Duke Borg's eyes, covered by the fat, were narrowed into a slit, and a cold light flickered faintly.

The guard around him observed his words and said, Your Majesty, do you need to separate them?

No, the game is important. Duke Borg waved his hand, We'll talk about it after the game is over.

yes.

...

Your father seems very angry, doesn't he think you seduce wild men?

Sean said in a voice softer than a mosquito humming.

You're scolding yourself. Angelina also lowered her voice, Don't worry about him, if nothing happens, he won't have a chance to trouble us.

Sean's heart skipped a beat, and he said solemnly, What are you going to do?

I'm not going to do anything. Angelina showed a pure and flawless smile like a little white flower. You just need to sit still and watch the excitement.

Sean's brows were frowned into a ball of knots. He always felt that there was something in Angelbena's words, but he didn't know what was the deep meaning.

The Solo Colosseum is considered an architectural miracle in this era. The people who designed and built it are definitely masters. In terms of structure, it uses a very advanced echo structure, which can amplify the sound in the arena. All audience members can hear clearly, and nearly two-thirds of people can hear clearly without any problem.

A well-dressed waiter acted as the host in the field. After receiving the signal from the rostrum, he shouted hoarsely.

The thirteenth gladiatorial competition finals led by Man Yujun is just beginning. Let us invite two contestants, the winners of the tenth and twelfth gladiatorial competitions, our two-time gladiator kings, free gladiators , Sir Starbuck, gentleman among gladiators!

Stabuck!

Stabuck!

Stabuck!

Amid wild cheers, Starbuck, dressed in silver plate armor, walked into the arena. In addition to a half-handed sword that was half the height of a man, five spears were inserted into his back, and short swords, hand axes, etc. Fighting weapons are all available, if there is another horse, the whole is a fully armed knight.

Now it is a championship match, not the kind of finals against beasts or death row prisoners. Gladiators are not restricted from wearing armor and carrying their own weapons.

Starbuck showed his gentlemanly style to the fullest. After entering the stage, he turned around and greeted the surrounding audience, as if he was not standing in the arena where he was about to fight to the death, but a stage full of spotlights, and he was about to perform his gorgeous Performance.

Another burst of frenzied shouting was drawn, most of whom were women. He was called a friend of women, and it was not for nothing.

Next, let us invite you to win the eighth, ninth, and eleventh consecutive gladiator champions, our former gladiator king, who used his own strength to win freedom, Scarlet Storm Dixon!

Dick Long!

Dick Long!

Dick Long!

Compared with Starbuck's voice, Dixon was a little bit different. Just like his name, when he entered the arena, he was like a whirlwind of blood. Everyone's eyes were blurred, and he appeared in the center of the arena, which caused another burst of surprise. call.

Different from Starbuck's demeanor and dress with obvious battlefield atmosphere, Dick Long, who was born as a gladiator, has a strong performance color both in dress and style.

The instant sprint just now, not to mention in the eyes of Starbucks, even in the eyes of some ordinary veterans who have been on the battlefield, is a fancy behavior that wastes energy. A well-regulated move like Starbucks is the most correct choice.

But it is undeniable that this kind of action performed by the champion knight is indeed gorgeous and shocking beyond imagination, which can be seen from the audience's reaction.

His scale armor is also custom-made. It is blood-colored. Many parts are hollowed out and densely covered with barbs, which makes it look ferocious and at the same time reveals its unique beauty. The close-fitting design allows him to show the outline of his muscles while Make him more flexible.

He is carrying a big bow that is not inferior in size to the Andis longbow. Like the armor, the whole body is blood-colored, and the arrows are also specially made, thick and long, as many as three pots. This is one of the reasons for his name. One, when he opened his bow, it was like a storm of bloody arrows raining. Many people fell down before his quiver was shot empty.

When Di Kelong became the champion knight, not to mention a pot of arrows, even the great knight could not pass three arrows in front of him. Only Starbuck, who is also the champion knight, could force him to show his true skills.

Whether the gentleman gladiator Starbuck won his title of gladiator king again, or the bloody storm Dixon regained his own glory, let us wait and see, now the competition officially begins.

After the host announced loudly, he rushed back to the auditorium with incomparable agility, and the skill he displayed was at least at the level of a great knight.

Surprisingly, after the host made the announcement, the two sides did not enter into a life-and-death fight immediately. Starbuck even greeted Dixon politely and made friends.

Old friend, let's meet again at this sacred venue. How are you thinking about my proposal?

According to the calculations, the two have known each other for nearly ten years. The two have swept the five gladiator championships in a row, and now it is the sixth.

In the eighth and ninth sessions, Scarlet Storm Dixon's family dominated. Although there were champion knights participating in those two sessions, they were either not ready to go home, or they were old and frail, and began to decline. Di Kelong, who was in his peak state, was much inferior in front of him. At that time, it was not an exaggeration to call him the dominant family.

After the tenth Starbuck was born, Di Kelong met his opponent and started the era of two kings fighting for hegemony. It was also at that time that the gutter capsized accidentally and he failed to win three consecutive championships, which made Di Kelong feel regretful. Catching up bravely, we got back a round in the 11th session.

Starbuck is not the kind of person who is willing to fail, and the twelfth session overwhelmed Di Kelong with a slight advantage.

However, after fighting back and forth, the two developed a good friendship.

Compared with Starbuck, Dixon, who was born as a gladiator slave, is obviously not good at words, especially when this kind of attention is on, he is better at speaking with his own weapons, and he pops out a sentence with an expression on his face.

Not interested in.

Don't be so decisive. Aren't you bored with this kind of life? What's the point of the two of us continuing to fight? Is it just for the title of the so-called king of gladiators? You have already won two, do you think it brings What do you mean?

Empty, there is only endless emptiness, because this is just a bone given out by those superior people. Even if you get this title, you are still a dog in the hands of others.

I'm not a dog, I'm not a slave, I'm a free man, I'm a free man now. Di Kelong let out a low growl like a wild animal after being stimulated, and repeated it several times.

Free man?

Starbuck let out a bigger sneer.

Do you know the true concept of a free man? It is not only freedom in the body, but also freedom in the soul. Look at yourself. Although the shackles on your body have been removed, the shackles on your soul are already extremely strong. You have your own Do you have your own beliefs? Do you have your own love? Do you have your own dreams?

No, you have nothing, you don't even have what you want to do, you only have your master's orders in your eyes, and you are Bill's dog from beginning to end.
