How many lords go to the wilderness to open up new areas every year, but only a few can come back in the end?
It is almost as difficult as climbing to heaven to gain a foothold in the dangerous wilderness.
Jem was mentally prepared the day Lear left Lorain.
But I didn't expect to see him again.
And judging from its appearance, it seems that it has achieved considerable success in the wilderness.
"My Lord, you must have encountered many difficulties in the wilderness."
Jem had a lot of things he wanted to say, but in the end he didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper some polite words.
When Lear heard this title, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Uncle Jim, just call me by my name."
“We encountered many difficulties, but we overcame them all.”
Just some wind and frost.
It's easy to say, but the mortality rate of pioneer lords is so high, how can it be simple?
Jem sighed and said awkwardly.
"Now that you have inherited the family title, I cannot offend you as I did before. This will damage your prestige."
He recognized the reality. Lear still called him Uncle Jem because the other party was kind and remembered the old times. But if he was still heartless like before and treated him as a junior.
Even if he himself did not react, what about the other party's subordinates? How could they make a lowly person living in the slums despise their master so much?
Lear was silent upon hearing this.
The sudden inequality in status made it impossible for the relationship between the two to be the same as before.
Waved his hand.
"Let's not talk about that. This time I'm here to take you back to the White Crow Chamber of Commerce."
"I've had enough of living in the slums. The Chamber of Commerce's warehouse needs a trustworthy person to guard it."
Jem hesitated.
"Lord Lear, can I?"
"Of course you can. The White Crow Chamber of Commerce is my chamber of commerce. If I say you can do it, no one dares to say anything."
"Don't think too much, pack up your valuables and follow me."
He had no feelings for this disgusting slum. The only person he cared about was Jem, to whom he owed a big favor.
Just then, there was a burst of commotion at the door.
"Jem, what are you looking at? Is it possible that the legendary baron has returned?"
"You are such a stubborn guy. It's not easy to come back alive after going to the wilderness. Few of the supporters of the great nobles succeeded. Stop daydreaming."
Jem's face froze and he turned away angrily.
"Shut up, you bastards! If you don't have brains and can't talk, go to the stinky ditch and drink a few more sips instead of being an eyesore here."
The people outside were about to laugh, but they saw a young man wearing a blood-red crown and with the aura of an imperial noble step out and glance around.
Everyone suddenly felt cold all over and their legs became unnaturally weak.
"Lee, Lord Lear?!"
The tone was filled with some disbelief and shock.
The seven or eight people outside the house were all Jem's co-workers. They had worked with him at the dock for a long time and had seen Lear. They knew that he had gone to the wilderness to open up new areas without knowing what was good for him.
Seeing this boy who was completely different from the past at this moment, my heart trembled and I felt great shock and fear.
The other party actually came back, and became so extraordinary! !
They rarely see such aura in those noble lords.
Thinking of their own arrogance just now, they swallowed their saliva violently, and without any hesitation, they knelt on the ground.
The head hit the ground hard.
"Sir, we didn't mean to offend you. We were just joking with Jem."
"I beg you to be merciful"
The tone was horrified and anxious.
Lear glanced at them and didn't waste any words on these low-level people in the slums.
"Uncle Jim, go pack your things."
"That house"
"Don't worry, no one can take it away from you."
"I will let someone know the person in charge of this block later and ask him to keep an eye on our house."
When Jem heard this, he looked at the people who worked with him, who were now kneeling on the ground in fear because of Lear's look.
He nodded with a complicated look.
"Okay, I'll go clean it up right away."
He quickly and neatly took out his things and stood behind Lear.
Lear did not hesitate and strode out.
Brando and Jem followed closely behind.
Looking at their receding backs, several workers who were kneeling on the ground dared to raise their heads.
Overjoyed.
Fortunately, the other party did not pursue the matter, otherwise no one would care if they were beaten or killed.
After coming to my senses, I looked at the door that I had just locked, and felt particularly uncomfortable.
This guy Jem is soaring to the sky.
They had often teased each other in the past, especially about Lear becoming a lord.
Unexpectedly, the other party was able to turn a disaster into a blessing.
Alas, who can I blame?
If they had been like Jem and helped the other party when they were weak, perhaps they would have been among the ones taken away by the other party today.
Regret and envy lingered in my heart at the same time.
Leave the alley, get on the carriage, and go straight back.
Lear was just about to reminisce about the past with Jem when his eyes suddenly fixed.
He took out a soft silver mask from his arms.
I was somewhat surprised to see that it was shining brightly at this moment, and it seemed as if I was holding a small sun in my hand.
The next moment, a silver light suddenly burst out, penetrated the carriage and shot straight into the sky.
At the same time, in the city of Loran, 12 similar silver rays of light shot towards the sky.
At this moment, a crisp sound of glass breaking was heard.
A blurry scarlet area appeared above the sky.
Looking up, I saw a semicircular building like a Colosseum floating in the air.
Twelve ferocious half-human, half-beast statues stood in it, each of which was a hundred meters high, with bared teeth and claws, green faces and fangs, staring angrily at the Colosseum.
Nothingness, scarlet, and filled with a terrifying aura that makes people's heart palpitate.
The Colosseum is extremely spacious, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. The seats are arranged in a circular staircase, and the seats are a strange dark red, like the color formed by blood that dried up.
It gives people a unique visual impact.
At this time, people inside and outside of Luolan City who saw the arena had a message in their minds -
[The bloody arena was created by the god of gladiatorial combat in ancient times and is opened every hundred years.]
[Anyone can participate in the fight, and the winner will receive generous rewards from the bloody arena.]
[The more people participate in the fight, the greater the reward for the final winner. ]
[The level of the person who opened the bloody arena this time is: Level 15. The level of those entering the arena cannot be higher than the level of the person who opened it. ]
[You can enter alone or in a team. The upper limit of the number of team members is 10. ]
[The arena is divided into the death fight and the winner fight. Participants in the death fight must fight for life and death. 】
【The winner will fight, and the loser can leave the arena. 】
[You will get a reward for every 10 wins, and a big prize for every 100 wins. The final winner will receive the reward from the god of gladiatorial combat.]
[Winner’s battle is divided into single-player battle and group battle. The upper limit of group battle is 10 people. 】
[You can actively choose to participate in the death fight. If there are not enough people, they will be randomly selected from the winning gladiators. ]
[The number of participants in the bloody arena exceeds 10. The final winner will receive a semi-artifact. The more participants there are, the richer the reward. ]
[The fight will start in 7 days. 】
[I wish you can achieve the final victory and win the favor of the god of gladiators. ]
Lear sensed the information in his mind and his expression became extremely wonderful.
Looking at the silver mask in his hand, he let out a sigh.
Damn it, I didn't expect there was more than one silver mask. The others rushed to open the bloody arena! Look at the rays of light shooting into the sky, there are 12 of them, which means there are at least 12 silver masks? !
At this moment, the eyes of the mask had turned a bit blood red, contrasting with the hazy bloody arena in the sky.
Li Er concentrated his mind and more detailed information emerged in his mind.
Silver Mask
Sequence Number 9
Features: 1. Forced fight. You can force the selected target to fight to the death.
2. Escape unscathed. You can leave the arena immediately without any punishment, but the mask will remain in the arena.
3. You can refuse forced fights, but you cannot refuse death fights with a higher serial number than yours.
Note: Collect 12 silver masks to get extra rewards.
Is this the true purpose of the silver mask?
Looking at the above attributes and combining them with the introduction of the bloody arena, he relaxed his brows.
The two fighting modes in the bloody arena are quite different. If you enter the victory arena, it’s okay, you can admit defeat and leave. But if it is a death arena, then you will have to fight for your life.
With this thing, you have a powerful amulet that can not only refuse forced fights, but also allow you to leave directly when encountering irresistible danger.
Leave enough room for retreat.
After calming down, he continued to think.
The bloody arena is controlled by the god of gladiatorial combat, which will surely attract everyone's attention.
Who doesn’t want to get rich rewards?
And 7 days is long enough. Perhaps it will attract the attention of the entire North, or even the Griffin Empire.
This will surely be an unprecedented event.
The level cap of 15, plus the mechanism of getting rewards for winning 10 games in a row, also gives some low-level warriors the courage to try.
Many speculators are sure not to miss it.
If he was a warrior of around level 10, he would also take the risk. After all, what if?
Human hearts are always like this.
Shaking his head, Lear collected his scattered thoughts, looked at the somewhat dazed Brando and Jem, and spoke slowly.
"Go back to the Chamber of Commerce first."
Brando came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, let's go back to the Chamber of Commerce first!!"
After saying that, I couldn't help but say.
"My Lord, was the Colosseum in the sky really built by the God of Fighting?"
Lear waved his hand.
"This is not something you can spy on. Go back and think carefully about how to use this opportunity to increase the profits of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce."
Brando's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"You said so!"
In the next period of time, Loran City will inevitably face turmoil, and chaos will bring business opportunities.
It is obviously not enough for the White Crow Chamber of Commerce to only sell weapons, they also need more profitable goods.
The bloody arena appeared in a short time, like a meteorite falling to the earth, causing a huge storm.
The whole city knows about this ancient relic, and as the core city of the Northern Province, Loran City also has offices of a large number of external forces.
This information began to spread rapidly like ripples.
Precious magic that was rarely used in the past began to be activated intensively.
In less than an hour, all the top forces in the Griffin Empire knew the relevant information.
The most intense reaction came from the nobles of the royal capital. After confirming the news, they immediately dispatched personnel to gather in the northern border.
Seven days is not a long time, but with the forces of griffins or Pegasus, it is definitely possible to make it in time.
The storm began to brew.
After Lear returned to the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, he took off the cloak on his back and whispered instructions.
After a long time, Brando was called.
"Give the cloak to the big demon outside the city, and after the mechanical dragon leaves, immediately return with the cloak."
"Yes, Master!"
Brando sensed the solemnity in Lear's tone and immediately went down to make arrangements.
It didn't take long before they took a carriage to the town outside the city where the troops were stationed and delivered the cloak.
The mechanical flying dragon took the Bubble Beast directly away from the town and flew deep into the wilderness.
The six great demons continued to guard the place, and upon seeing this, Brando returned with his cloak on to report the news.
"Those adults said they already know and are ready to follow your orders at any time."
Lear nodded and tied his cloak again.
Enter the bloody arena in teams, with a maximum of 10 people in a group.
This forced him to consider the candidate carefully.
Seven great demons can participate, and the Flesh Slayer also has to take up a spot. Including him, there will be nine people in total. The best candidate is... the Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain!
It’s just that the other party is carrying out a fateful mission and may not be able to leave the Shattered Star Plane.
The King of Naga is also powerful enough to be used as a backup.
In addition, Karanis is also a key figure.
But he would rather have Calanis fight in single combat.
This warrior holds power, her blade will be able to destroy everything!
At level 15, he couldn't figure it out, who could stop her? !
This wave will take another seven days to ferment, and it is hard to predict what will happen then.
Let’s get the person here first.
That night, an unexpected person quietly came to the White Crow Chamber of Commerce to ask for a meeting.
Lear was a little surprised when he saw the other person.
"Ackerman, you must be under a lot of pressure after the bloody arena appeared. How come you still have time to come look for me?"
The Bruno family heir had a serious expression on his face.
"My lord, the matter of the bloody arena is of great importance. I must come to inform you."
"If there is nothing important, leave Luolan City early. The Changge family has prepared abundant supplies for you to stay outside the city."
"It's best to leave early tomorrow morning."
Li Er raised his eyebrows slightly, and from his tone he could sense the storm brewing in Lolan City.
"Any more news?"
"The bloody arena is a relic of the god of gladiatorial combat. This is not the first time it has been opened."
“Every time it is opened, it causes great turmoil, and the winner attracts worldwide attention.”
"Last time, someone obtained the secret method of becoming a demigod, and unprecedented turmoil broke out on the spot."
"This time, there will definitely be a large number of extraordinary people coming to the city."
"Once such a person takes action, even Grand Duke Luo Lan may not be able to stop him. By then, the Changge family may not be able to protect you."
"Winna has been sent to the capital and will not return until the storm subsides."
"Uncle is already on his way back."
Li Er looked at the serious Ackerman and spoke slowly.
"Next, I will participate in a bloody fight."
Ackerman was stunned and a little anxious.
"Sir, if you need anything, the Changge family can give it to you. There is no need to take such risks."
Lear said slowly.
"You can't give me what I want."
"Besides, I have the means to leave safely at any time."
Hearing that confident tone, Ackerman immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I'll go back first. The bloody arena has reappeared and the situation is unstable. The guards need to patrol day and night. If you encounter any trouble, you can send someone to the Changge family for help."
"This is the emblem token of the Changge family. Please keep it."
After Lear accepted it, he turned around and left in a hurry.
The storm intensified over the next few days.
There is a sense of anxiety in the city.
The bloody arena in the sky gradually became clearer from blurry (End of this chapter)
