The sewer network of the city of Loran was designed and built by the dwarves. It is extremely complex and interconnected.
Lear had asked Mist Shadow to explore the specific passage a few days in advance.
Now, just wait for the Blood of Madness to drop.
Time passes little by little.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble in the distance.
Then, the griffin army patrolling the sky suddenly woke up, gathered in one direction, and swooped down quickly.
Lear's eyes narrowed slightly.
The attack begins!
I thought it would take a long time, but after just a few minutes, a thick fog surged up from the sewer entrance.
It rolled up in front of him, forming a tray.
He was presented with a glass bottle half filled with blood.
The blood occasionally condensed into vague shapes, jumping inside and hitting the glass wall.
Like a living life.
It looks quite strange and weird.
Lear immediately became interested and reached out to take the glass bottle.
The tray turned directly into mist and condensed into a cloak behind him.
Sensing the presence of a living being, the blood in the bottle became more active.
The frequency of hitting the bottle wall increased rapidly, and one could feel the madness and hideousness of the blood.
Like a carnivorous beast in captivity.
Looking carefully, its attribute panel appeared in my mind.
Blood of Madness
Level: Special
Characteristics: Blood soaked in disease, death, hatred, and madness, and contains extremely terrifying power.
Comment: Blood obtained by sacrificing 100,000 lives.
After reading the properties, Li Er subconsciously raised the glass bottle in his hand and looked at the blood constantly rolling inside, feeling a little surprised.
It took the sacrifice of 100,000 people to obtain such a small amount.
But what is its specific use?
There is no description on the properties panel.
While thinking, his mental power escaped and went deep into the crystal bottle.
But before he touched the blood, curses, wails, curses, and resentments as loud as a landslide or tsunami suddenly rang out in his mind.
Strong emotions are like a dam collapsing, forming a torrent that rushes in.
Almost swallowed him up.
Lear quickly regained his composure, feeling confused and uncertain.
What a strong mental shock.
Even without using his authority, he is difficult to resist.
Although this thing is weird, it is definitely a good treasure. I will think about it later and figure out how to make full use of it.
At worst, it would be just as good to let the Flesh Slayer devour it. This divine life already craves for blood and flesh.
While we were studying the blood of madness, soon a piece of news came.
The second son of the top noble from the royal capital, the Grand Duke Lion, was attacked in the street.
Although the other party was not seriously injured due to the timely arrival of the guard corps, he lost a valuable treasure.
For this reason, the second son of the Grand Duke of Lion spent a large sum of money to offer a reward for information about the attackers in the Mercenary Guild.
In addition, a reward of ten times the price was offered for the valuables lost in the attack.
The picture is a glass bottle filled with squirming blood.
When Li Er heard the news, he silently gave a thumbs up to the attacker.
It would be a waste not to slaughter this rich dog owner from the royal capital.
This can be considered as robbing the rich to help this little lord who is pioneering in the wilderness.
This accident made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
The city of Loran is like a suppressed powder keg that may explode at any time.
This also caused the number of patrolling soldiers to increase tenfold.
Even slums like the Ninth Block were included in the patrol scope, making the residents who had lived there for half their lives exclaim that they had never seen such a thing before.
And in such an atmosphere, another day passed.
On November 11, the bloody arena in the sky was fully revealed.
Looking up, you can see the huge building standing in the void.
The terrifying half-human, half-beast statue is so lifelike that it seems as if it will come alive at any moment.
It amazed countless people who came and went.
Some tourists who came here because of its reputation even exclaimed that it was worth the trip to see such a miracle.
In the mercenary guild, a large number of people began to form teams with each other, agreeing to go in and try their luck together.
Few people dare to go to the death fight, but everyone is excited about the victory fight.
What if I was chosen to participate in the death fight? What if the goddess of luck was on my side?
The luck in their hearts makes them like moths to a flame.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the arrival of No. 10.
In the early morning of that night, Lear, who had not fallen asleep, received another update of intelligence, but this time he was a little disappointed.
4 pieces of 1-star intelligence and 1 piece of 2-star intelligence. The value of this refresh is pitifully low.
Most of them were information of little value, such as a noble from the Griffin Empire had sent people to participate in the fights, how many arenas the arena was divided into, etc.
The only 2-star intelligence simply told him that the bloody arena would officially open at 10 a.m. on the 11th.
Compared with the 5 4-star intelligence updated on the 3th, it is simply unbearable to read.
Having experienced so much, Lear's disappointment only lasted for a moment and he fell into a deep sleep soon after lying down.
The next day, November 11th, the city of Loran became noticeably noisy.
As soon as the sky brightened, there were already a large number of people walking on the streets.
Those who had agreed to form a team always kept their distance from each other, and even had to wait at the door to go to the toilet.
In the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, there stood fierce and powerful figures behind Lear.
7 level 15 big demons,
The level 15 Naga King, and the most ferocious trump card - the level 15 Flesh Slayer.
All 9 level 15 heroes.
Including himself, there are exactly 10 people.
Unfortunately, the best configuration he had imagined was to replace the Naga King with the two-headed ogre chieftain - Ait.
The hero with mechanical limbs and explosive fighting power.
But the opponent's fateful mission has not been completed yet and he cannot extricate himself.
I can only use a slightly lower configuration to fight.
However, this low configuration is difficult for ordinary nobles to gather 9 level 15 heroes compared to him, let alone combat effectiveness.
Time passed little by little, and as the sun gradually turned from an orange fireball into a scorching hotter one, Lear silently waited for 11 o'clock to arrive.
An unexpected person arrived at the door of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce.
Li Er looked at the girl with outstanding temperament in front of him with some surprise.
"Ms. Jasmine, why are you here suddenly?"
At this point in time, shouldn't the other party be helping Philena with government affairs?
The person who is under the most pressure in Loran City these days must be Philena, the first one to bear the brunt.
This is her territory. If anything unexpected happens, the Loran family will bear the greatest responsibility.
Jasmine looked at the handsome and heroic young man in front of her with complicated eyes.
"The city of Luolan has been a little unstable these days, and Your Highness has been dealing with these matters. I heard that Lord Li Er wanted to participate in the gladiatorial contest. Your Highness took time out of his busy schedule to find someone to buy a treasure."
"I was specially asked to give it to you."
"Because this treasure was transported from the capital, it took some time."
As he spoke, he held up a crudely made wooden figure in his hands.
Lear was stunned for a moment, then took it in silence.
After reading the above attributes, my eyes became even more complicated.
Wooden Stand-in (Small)
Level: Special
Features: When you are on the verge of death, you can use the wooden man to replace the damage, and you can teleport to the (big) wooden man.
Evaluation: This is a precious treasure handed down from ancient times, rarely seen in the world.
This attribute is a life.
Lear took a deep breath.
"Has your Highness encountered any trouble these days?"
"Although Luolan City is in chaos, Your Highness can still control the situation. You don't need to worry."
Jasmine's tone was tinged with pride.
"That's good. Miss Jasmine, please go back and tell His Highness that I have received this treasure. I will always remember His Highness's friendship."
Jasmine looked at the young man deeply.
"Then I wish you, Lord Lear, good luck."
With this treasure, no matter what accidents occur, their safe return can be guaranteed.
There is no need to worry too much.
However, His Highness's thoughts were really a bit heavy. Watching the graceful figure leave, Li Er fumbled with the wooden man in his hand, feeling a little complicated.
This friendship can only be repaid in the future.
He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and looked up at the sky.
The time gradually approached 11 o'clock.
Suddenly, the empty bloody arena in the sky suddenly became bright.
It appeared directly and turned into a complete entity.
Just floating in the air, endless pressure surged out.
Looking up, the huge arena, like a mountain, gives people strong psychological pressure.
If it falls to the ground, the shock wave will destroy one third of Loran City.
The 12 giant statues over a hundred meters high standing around the Colosseum suddenly began to move with a click.
Just hover in the sky and patrol around the arena.
Gladiator Guard, Level: Demigod
???
???
Wow, there are 12 demigod-level statues.
Lear's eyes narrowed slightly.
It is no exaggeration to say that if these 12 statues riot, it is unclear whether the city of Loran will still exist.
At the same time, a phantom slowly condensed above the arena.
Wearing black armor, his naked upper body reveals his scarred body, and a pair of eyes with a sense of terrifying oppression overlooking the earth.
"Blood, fighting, death, and gladiatorial combat are the meaning of life."
"A new gladiatorial contest has begun. Warriors, prove your strength with your roar and blood."
"Only the strong can achieve the highest honor in gladiatorial combat."
"The winner will receive unprecedented generous rewards."
"Look at the arena and think to yourself that you want to be a gladiator, and I will personally lead you to the fight."
"The most powerful and bravest gladiator, I look forward to seeing you crowned king in front of me!"
As the words fell, the shadow slowly disappeared.
At this moment, everyone felt a vague calling. As long as they responded to that call, they could join the arena and become gladiators.
In an instant, countless people silently chanted, "I want to become a gladiator." Then their bodies turned into spots of light and rushed directly into the sky.
Appeared on the seat in the arena.
The entire city of Loran was instantly filled with a shower of flying meteors, which rushed up into the sky from the ground.
Countless people with great ambitions joined the arena.
Seeing this, Li Er enveloped his men with his aura and took a deep breath.
Slowly put on the silver mask.
The next moment, a powerful force surged out and covered his body.
Then, the vision in front of my eyes suddenly became distorted
Everything around me was receding.
From the corner of his eye he could see the buildings on the ground shrink in an instant, and at the same time the misty shadow on his body was forcibly stripped away in an instant.
There is no loophole to exploit.
When Lear's vision returned to normal, he found himself sitting in the arena.
His subordinates sat around him.
There were all kinds of people sitting next to it.
Turning his head and looking further away, the huge arena was now full.
The twelve hundred-meter-tall statues of half-human, half-beast creatures were roaming outside the arena, and one could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from them.
The central area is a huge arena.
I looked up at the sky and found that the city of Loran was right above it.
You can clearly see the streets and the residents standing and looking up.
If you look intently at a certain place, you can even hear the voices of those people talking.
"Too terrifying, is this the power of the gods?"
"God of gladiatorial combat, I am your most devout believer! May your glory shine forever on the main plane!"
"That's Lord Kakar? I saw him!! I didn't expect he would have the courage to participate in a gladiatorial fight!!"
"."
The crowd in the arena also became excited.
Everyone was roaring wildly to vent their excitement.
At the same time, he also became excited because of the attention of the people below.
In gladiatorial fights, the audience can make the atmosphere even more frenetic.
The big shots below who were unable to participate in the fight were also observing all this silently.
Everyone has their own inexplicable feelings.
I wonder what the final winner of this fight can take out of it. Can it be a treasure that can make people extraordinary and get promoted?
If it's the same as last time, the collision this time will probably be even more intense.
"The rules of the fight are as follows."
"The victory fight and the death fight start at the same time. You can choose the fighting method yourself."
"The minimum number of people for the Death Arena is 1. If the demand is not met, we will select from the Victory Arena."
"Team fights cannot choose a single person for a death fight, but a single person can choose a team for a death fight."
"This fight will last for three days. If no winner is determined, all the gladiators will be put into the death arena to fight until the final gladiator king is determined."
"Opponents are randomly assigned in gladiatorial combat, but you can also actively select your target."
"The fight has officially begun."
A series of information flooded into my mind.
Lear's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
With two trump cards that can help him escape from the arena, this fight does not pose much risk to him.
It is also time to show the development achievements and edge of Weilu City during this period.
"I choose the deathmatch."
The moment of choice.
Lear and the heroes around him disappeared from their seats in an instant.
The next moment, they appeared on a bluestone ground.
This is a circular square with a diameter of three hundred meters.
A hundred meters in front, there were also 10 people standing, but unexpectedly, they were a group of orcs with exposed teeth, all of them were meters tall and had bulging muscles.
There is an inscription of an eye engraved on the forehead.
He was wearing heavy orc-style armor and holding a curved sword in his hand.
He looked at them with cold eyes.
"I didn't expect a few bastards to come."
These 10 orcs are all level 15.
At the same time, the leading orc also held a silver mask in his hand.
The crowd below the city of Loran could sense the appearance of 20 arenas in the sky the moment the fight began.
There are 10 victory fights and 10 death fights.
If you look up, you can see the specific situation in one of the arenas, and it's from a God's perspective.
With a thought, you can also change the arena to watch.
After countless years of research, the God of Gladiators has already perfected dozens of versions of this treasure that he left behind in the main plane.
It can attract outsiders to the greatest extent and spread its own glory.
At this moment, all the top figures who were limited by their levels looked intently, trying to find the arena they wanted to see.
Brando, the Changge family, Ackerman, and Philena locked onto Lear's arena at the first opportunity.
The ruler of the Changge family, the extraordinary Grand Duke, stood up instantly, his tone somewhat solemn.
"The royal family of the beastman?!! Is that silver mask the bloody arena opened by the other party?!"
The guard who was beside Wen Na before, whom she called sister, a cold lady in a black robe, asked in a serious voice.
"Grand Duke, are those orcs very strong?"
"Not only are they strong, but the fighting power of those orcs is so high that they have almost no rivals among their peers."
"Most importantly, their lives can be shared!"
The lady who was asking the question suddenly stopped breathing.
Sharing life?
Doesn't that mean that no one can kill one of them alone?
This is an extremely domineering talent in battle.
You can fight with the most domineering means of exchanging injuries for injuries!
Grand Duke Changge felt a little emotional.
"The orcs are in trouble. But, what faction does that human belong to? Why are his subordinates so unique? Demons, Nagas, and an unknown life."
"Grand Duke, you may not know it yet since you just came back, but the one opposite the orc is the one who saved the young lady."
"Although Lord Lear has covered his face, the demon subordinates around him are not hiding."
Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Changge's eyes became extremely shocked and terrified. (End of this chapter)
