Chapter 199 The Arena
"Alec, Carre, you two stay here and don't let anyone go in and destroy it. I will ask someone to clean it later, and you can return to Rose Castle by yourself."
"Yes, sir!"
Standing at the door of the store, Gervais left Alec and Carre behind. Now the store belonged to him. Of course, he had to send someone to guard it to prevent anyone from entering the store and causing damage. This was also to meet the convoy waiting for him.
arrival.
Since the store decorations are all ready-made, Gervais is not going to redecorate it. He is preparing to open it in the next few days. Thinking of those golden gold coins, Gervais is already hungry and thirsty.
After Alec and the two agreed, Gervais headed towards the south district with only Ike and Pat.
Gervais's next stop was the Orc Arena. In his previous life, he had seen a lot of videos about those gladiators on the Internet, and in this world, people were fighting orcs, so Gervais was very interested.
And there is another reason for Gervais to go, that is, to see what kind of monsters there are, and whether orc leaders can be produced in all orc spaces. This is related to the great cause of Gervais's energy points. He, he, must
To understand clearly.
The Orc Arena was only built at the beginning of last year, and Winterfell has been built for many years. With its development, there is not much space left in the city, so the location of the Arena was finally chosen in the Southern District.
As for why they are not placed in the West and North Districts, this is of course to facilitate the safety of the aristocratic men in the East District and to facilitate their viewing. The West and North Districts are all civilians, so it goes without saying that they are dirty and messy, and many people just live on the subsistence level.
Online, how can I have spare money to buy tickets to watch the competition?
Gervais and Pat rode horses and came directly to the South District along Champagne Street. Walking on the streets of the South District, Gervais immediately felt the hustle and bustle here. Just across the street from the East District, it was like stepping into
A completely different world.
The main street in the southern district is called Hongye Street. Hongye Street is actually as spacious as Champagne Street, but at this moment, the street is crowded with people passing by. In addition to shops on both sides of the street, there are also a row of street stalls outside, making the originally spacious street
The main street takes up half of it.
When Gervais and Pat passed by on horseback, with heavily armed guards behind them, all passers-by moved aside as quickly as possible after seeing them. Most of them passed by when Gervais and Pat passed by.
People even bend down to salute.
"Pat, do you know how much gold coins a shop in this South District costs?"
Seeing the busy streets with people coming and going, Gervais was a little moved. Although he already had a store in the East District, Gervais would not underestimate the spending power of the common people and wealthy businessmen in the South District. After all, he had a lot of money.
Less can make more, as Thomas selling ice cubes in the South End is a good example.
"Gervis, do you want to buy a store in the South District?"
Pat was a little surprised. To be honest, he didn't like this South District. The streets were crowded and dirty, and the sour smell could be smelled from time to time in the people passing by. If it weren't for going to the arena, Pat would
I never come to the South District for activities.
"I've heard about this shop on Hongye Street in the Southern District. A shop costs more than 200 gold coins, and a shop in a different location costs more than 100 gold coins."
Although Pat didn't like the South Side, Gervais asked and he told what he knew.
"Oh, it's not cheap either. I'm just asking around now. If there's anyone suitable, I'd like to buy a room and sell ice cubes here!"
Gervais made some calculations in his mind. The shops in the southern district were not cheap. For 100 gold coins, ordinary people could not afford to save so many gold coins in ten lifetimes without eating or drinking.
"Haha, this is Winterfell. Although it is in the Southern District, with a shop like this, generations of people can live without worries. Many of the shops here actually belong to the nobles in the Eastern District. They don't have fiefdoms, but they can live the same life.
Moisturizing is because I purchased these shops and now rent them to others. One year's rent alone is enough for their expenses. If they had four or five shops, their lives would be much more comfortable than ours."
Pat smiled while sitting on the horse and introduced Gervais. As the two of them moved forward unimpeded, a huge building finally appeared in the distance.
"Gervis, that's the arena!"
Hearing Pat's previous words, Gervais couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "It turns out there are landlords in this world!"
But the next moment he was attracted by the word "Arena". Gervais looked up into the distance and saw a huge circular building in the distance, standing there quietly like an ancient behemoth.
Although the Colosseum is not as tall as the Rose Castle, it occupies a large area. Gervais estimated that the Colosseum is at least the size of his own Golden Castle. Then the two of them began to concentrate on their journey and arrived at the Arena.
of the periphery.
From here on, the flow of people is no longer dense, and the surrounding houses become sparse. It is estimated that many houses were demolished in order to build this huge arena.
When he actually arrived at the arena, Gervais realized that he had underestimated the size of the arena. The arena was at least 40 meters high, which was not much higher than Gervais's own castle. The entire arena was circular.
Made of huge stones, the height of each floor increases from bottom to top. The first floor is about 6 meters high, the second floor is 15 meters, and the third floor is the highest.
This arena has three floors in total, and the walls on each floor are shaped like arches. Inside the arches is the corridor, and there are already many people walking in the corridor.
At this moment, Gervais and the others were still more than 400 meters away from the arena, but they could still hear the huge cheers coming from inside the arena.
"Gervis, we have to hurry up, the fight should start soon!"
Hearing the cheers, Pat increased his horse's speed, urging Gervais to catch up quickly.
"Hey! Pat, is there a slave market here?"
Gervais urged the unicorn and was about to run with Pat towards the entrance of the arena. However, more than two hundred meters away from the arena, they discovered a huge market surrounded by fences. There were many people in the market.
surge.
Thanks to the nearly two-meter height of the unicorn, Gervais looked through the crowd in the market and saw many people in tattered clothes, unkempt hair, and wearing shackles and bracelets. These people were either locked up.
In a wooden cage, or tied to a post.
Gervais was immediately sure that this was the legendary slave market. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, especially those who were kept like livestock waiting to be sold, Gervais was still shocked by this scene.
"Yes, the slave market, Gervais, come quickly. I don't know how many gladiatorial fights there are today. If there is only one, we will be in vain if we go late. We will come back to the slave market after watching the gladiatorial arena.
.”
Pat's face was filled with excitement as he listened to the cheers from the arena. When he saw Gervais stopping outside the slave market, he immediately said that this slave market was already normal in Pat's opinion.
It's as common as people seeing grocery markets on Earth.
Seeing that Pat was so impatient, Gervais stopped delaying. After all, if there was really only one fight, then he would have to wait until tomorrow.
Because this arena is newly built and is owned by the Jones family, it even has space to store Warcraft, which saves Gervais a lot of trouble. Of course, the price is also high, requiring 1 silver coin a day. For safety
, Gervais could only take out the silver coins and bring the unicorn into the space for storage.
When Gervais stored the unicorn, Pat had already bought the tickets. One ticket costs 30 copper coins. This price is for a seat on the third floor. It is spacious and comfortable. Although it is not a box, it has a roof to protect it from wind and rain, and the sight is good.
Also enough.
The prices on the first and second floors are slightly lower, with tickets for 5 coppers and 1 copper. Seats for 5 coppers are on the second floor. As for 1 copper, they are the cheapest standing tickets.
"Demon hunter! Demon hunter! Demon hunter!"
When Gervais and others arrived on the third floor, the battle in the arena was about to begin. The space for the purple elf worm was opening. At this moment, the elf worm had risen into the air and turned into a ball of light. The space where the elf worm was located was
The location is opposite Gervais and the others.
There were also 15 human warriors wearing leather armor and iron helmets standing in the field on Gervais's side. Each of them had different weapons. 5 of them had spears and bucklers, and 8 of them had spears and bucklers.
One person holds a long sword, and behind him there are two archers holding long bows.
Gervais carefully looked at these 15 people and found that these people did not show the slightest fear on their faces when facing the orc space in front of them. Obviously this was not the first time they faced such a battle.
Bang~
As the elf bugs gathered energy, the orc space was opened, and a two-meter-long and undulating space door appeared in the field!
"Orcs! Orcs! Orcs"
