Chapter 1126, Guided Tour
At this moment, the people in the blacksmith store had not dispersed.
Chen Cheng helped the blacksmith check his injuries, and it turned out that there was nothing more wrong with Gris, and there was only a red mark left where he had just been struck by Ren Xiaosu.
“Is it really alright?” Chen Cheng asked.
Gliss nodded, “The other party’s strike was very precise, I was feeling like I couldn’t catch my breath, my chest was stuffy, and I was coughing, but I was soon fine. Believe me, this requires very impressive body control, even the best gladiators in Ghent City may not be able to do this.”
This blacksmith Gliss used to be a gladiator in Ghent City, and there were two types of gladiators in Ghent City.
One was the servants and followers in the sorcerer’s family, the sorcerers themselves were not willing to take the risk of fighting, so they let the gladiators represent themselves as a way to fight for the honor of their respective families.
It sounds good, but in fact it is just to provide the wizards with more exciting gambling entertainment.
The winning wizard would take half of the prize pool, and the other half of the pool would be reserved for the bettors.
This first type of gladiator enjoys the aura brought to them by the sorcerer on a regular basis, and fights for the sorcerer at this time, but if they lose in battle, then they are immediately discarded by the sorcerer.
The second kind of gladiators are desperate to voluntarily become a gladiator belongs to the people, maybe gambling lost money, maybe need money on the urgent, anyway, is voluntarily sell themselves to the gladiator arena.
They would be there to keep fighting people until they died.
Griz himself was a blacksmith, in order to raise money for his father’s treatment so he became a gladiator, and was one of the most famous gladiators in Ghent at that time.
He was then rescued by the leader of the bounty hunter organization and placed in Vaduz Castle to guard a safe house.
Grix was grateful to this leader of the bounty hunters and enjoyed his current life of comfort.
But enjoying the comfort doesn’t mean that his fighting ability has been wasted, in fact, Gelix thinks that if he returns to the gladiator arena now, he can still win a hundred battles.
As a result, Gelix, who was so confident, was beaten by Ren Xiaosu, who had no power to fight back at all.
Gliss said, “My opponent used my most confident fighting style to easily dismantle my confidence.”
Chen Cheng and An An looked at each other, “Could it be because you weren’t prepared for his sudden strike?”
“No,” said Gliss, “I’m pretty sure that even if I had defended myself, he would have had the ability to disarm me in an instant.”
Saying that, Gelix wrote a few lines on a small note, then went to the pigeon cage in the backyard and took out a carrier pigeon and tied it on, he said to Ann, “You can’t release the carrier pigeons yet, you have to wait until tomorrow morning when the carrier pigeons near the cathedral are released, then the carrier pigeons will be mixed up in them so that they can hide from people’s attention.”
“Uh-huh,” Ann nodded.
Grix suddenly asked, “What’s going on with this teenager, why did such a powerful expert suddenly appear?”
An An bristled in disbelief, “What’s so powerful about it, when the bandits came to attack the merchant caravan, wasn’t he still hiding behind the carriage with Meggo and not daring to move?”
“Is there such a thing?” Gelix asked doubtfully, “Looking at his strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to deal with the bandits.”
“Strength is one thing, guts is one thing,” An An was very angry, just now being lifted up like a quail was just a little too humiliating, she knew very well that what she was saying was just angry, but she just couldn’t help but want to say something ……
At this time, a voice came from outside the blacksmith store door, “Are you talking about me?”
“Ya!” An An turned around and was shocked to see Ren Xiaosu standing right outside the door, “Why are you back again!”
It was too embarrassing to be overheard while saying something bad about someone else!
Ren Xiaosu of course couldn’t say that he was lost, so he explained with a smile, “I was worried that you two bounty hunters were captured by the Berkeley family, so I specifically came back to escort you, touched?”
An An spat out, “The hell if I believe you, you are afraid that we will rat on you!”
“That’s something I’m really not too afraid of,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Let’s go, I’m still in a hurry to go eat.”
Chen Cheng and An An glanced at the long swords on their necks, and chose to hold their breath ……
Ren Xiaosu saw that both sides had finally reached an agreement on their thoughts, and only then did he return the two longswords to Gelix.
On the way back, the talkative Chen Cheng suddenly asked, ”What is Middle Earth like nowadays? I’ve heard that Middle Earth is still very weak to be right.”
“Weak?” Ren Xiaosu smiled, “So seventeen years ago, it was the 178 Fortress that you call vulnerable that defeated the Witch Kingdom’s army?”
“Defeated?” Chen Cheng froze for a moment, “Didn’t you say that the Royal Army was victorious?”
Ren Xiaosu sneered, “Who said that?”
“The royal family announced it to the public, ah, saying that it gave Fortress 178 a bloody lesson, but this time, the royal family was harboring a merciful heart, so it did not create much killing,” Chen Cheng replied.
“It really doesn’t even want to lose its face, it dares to make it up like this,” said Ren Xiaosu.
178 Fortress had been in a weak position before, after all, the revival of the military industry was only in recent decades.
But once this Middle Earth’s military industry was revived, it was definitely not something that sorcerers could fight against, and although that war 17 years ago was tragic, 178 Fortress did win the war.
And in order to maintain their own prestige, the sorcerer organization and the royal family of the sorcerer kingdom even chose to tamper with the outcome of the war, insisting that they had won.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Chen Cheng and said, “The war 17 years ago was a victory for the Middle Kingdom, and the Middle Kingdom is far more powerful than you can imagine. Not to mention the military, the basic industries and the infrastructure of the cities alone have already left the Sorcerer Kingdom behind by several blocks.”
Chen Cheng said yearningly, “Father has also mentioned the Middle Earth before, it would be great if I had the chance to go and see it.”
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “When I figure out what’s going on with this organization of yours, I might even be able to get you all together to form a group to visit the 178 Fortress side of the Northwest.”
An An suddenly asked, “What is your status in Middle Earth?”
Ren Xiaosu grinned, “Me? I’m just an ordinary Northwest Development volunteer ah.”
“Full of lies,” An An muttered, “By the way, why on earth did you suddenly abduct back?”
Ren Xiaosu said in a serious manner, “This Vaduz is a major southern town, and I was indeed worried about the two of you having an accident.”
An An was suspicious, “You can’t be that you don’t know where the stage station is, right?”
“Hahahahahahaha, how could that be?” Ren Xiaosu laughed out loud, “I, Ren Xiaosu, walk the rivers and lakes, how could I possibly make such a low-level mistake?”
An An was instantly sure that this bastard did turn back again because he didn’t know where the stage station was, this was using her and Chen Cheng as a tour guide ah!
