Chapter 273
The body of the gladiator's chief hangs high in the center of the gladiator's field. This is a punishment he makes for his provocation and a sign that the king demonstrates his power.
Todd's residence was moved from that small and dark cell to a comfortable and spacious terrace. Standing in the room, looking around, you can see the whole picture of the entire arena. Most importantly, he gained the privilege of free movement within the range of the arena.
A week after the second gladiator ended, Todd spent hundreds of hours in the soul space to learn Beidi, which had already become effective. As long as it was not complicated rhetoric and obscure slang, he could have a smooth conversation.
Eating the meals delivered by the good restaurants in the city and looking at the gladiators practicing fighting in the field, Todd wiped the oil stains on his hands, turned over and jumped off the terrace, and walked on the stone steps towards the underground prison where the sinners were detained.
Along the way, whether it was a strong warrior or a warrior who had experienced many battles, when they saw Todd's figure, they stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads, stood by, respectfully making way.
With steady steps, Todd pretended to be a deep look, and walked forward without looking sideways.
At this moment, I don’t know who took the lead and shouted: “Boyle, Red Champion!”
Later, there were bursts of shouts throughout the arena.
"Boyle, Red Champion!"
Amid the people's praise and worship, Todd's footsteps did not stop at all, and walked along the steps into the prison area on the underground floor.
Following the familiar direction, walking through the maze-like promenade, Todd finally stopped in front of a huge cell.
Hundreds of tribe members were arrested in the cell, including men and women, old and young.
The appearance of Todd made people in the prison cheer. Some called him the patriarch, some called him the leader, and some called him the master directly.
Looking at the strange faces in front of him, Todd could only respond with a smile. After searching, he finally saw two familiar faces.
One is Fried, an old warrior from the Frost Stone Tribe, and the other is the old shaman Minnie from the Frost Stone Tribe.
Seeing the two old men slowly walking to the other side of the prison door, Todd said to the prison guard who was hiding beside him in a northern language: "Open the prison door."
Facing the legendary gladiator champion, although the prison guard was so scared that he plucked up the courage to refuse this request: "Sir, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for me, but that this does not comply with the regulations. If the prison door is really opened, not only will I not survive, but these people inside will be executed."
"Captain, he is right." The old warrior Fried said to Todd through the fence: "If he opens the prison door, we will be executed for the crime of running away."
Hearing someone to explain, the prison guard was a little more courageous and said, "Mr. Boyle, your tribe members don't have any minus three meals a day. People will get them clean spring water every day. We also provide free herbs to those who are sick."
Fried shrugged and said in a half-serious and half-touching tone: "This is the fact that since the last week's gladiator ended, these people's attitudes have changed in an amazing way, like saints who have changed their hearts."
Looking at the embarrassed and speechless prisoner, Todd gave up his plan to blame and turned his eyes to the prisoner in prison: "There are many fewer people here."
"Oh, the slave hunting team captured thousands of our tribe members, those who died on the road and those who were unknown. In addition, those who died of illness during this period are only so few people left," Fried said with a heartbroken look on the prison door with his fist.
Todd looked sore and suddenly said, "The woman named Aisha."
Halfway through, Todd deliberately paused for a moment.
Fried took over his words and continued, "I heard that she was caught by the arrested slave team and sent to the palace. Now I don't know what's going on."
Todd breathed a sigh of relief and nodded after getting the information he wanted.
Shaman Minnie, who was standing beside Fried, suddenly stretched out her hand, walked through the gap between the fence, touched Todd's forehead, and said softly: "Child, listen to me. This world is like a bottomless abyss, darkness erodes everything, and sadness follows you like a shadow, and you have a golden heart. There is light and warmth as much as the sun in your body. Please change this world and save those lost souls."
Todd felt a gentle force coming from the other person's palm and stared at the old woman in front of him.
For some reason, Todd had a feeling that Minnie had seen through his disguise and learned about his identity.
So, why didn't she expose herself? What is the profound meaning of what she said?
With a lot of thought, leaving the prison, Todd walked on the road, accidentally glimpsing two familiar figures in the corner of his eyes.
The two Plain people who deliberately let the water go in the second fight.
Looking at the hopeful eyes of the two, Todd made a secret gesture to signal them to follow him.
After finding an empty corner, Todd sat on a clean stone, looked at the respectful two people in front of him and asked, "What are your names?"
The big man with a muscle and strong body said, "Caspa."
The thin and tall young man followed and said, "Dear Akatsuki, you can call me Akerman."
Hearing the name Ackerman, Toddor glanced at the young man and asked, "You are from the parish in the south."
Casper nodded.
Ackerman is obviously a chatterbox: "He comes from the Acropolis, and was a knight from the Knights of the Holy Guards. I came from a village called Chiki Village on the Yuexi Plain, where he used to be the village chief."
Todd looked suddenly, and he finally remembered where he had seen this young man.
More than three years ago, Todd, who acted as a charlatan, ran to Chikimura to perform an exorcist ceremony in order to cure the lead poisoning incident.
The young village chief who only met once was Ackerman.
A rare smile appeared on Todd's face, which surprised Casper and Ackerman.
"How did you two get here?"
Casper only said two words about this question: "War."
Ackerman talked endlessly like opening the lid. He first talked about the war in the Silver Ring Kingdom, then talked about the departure of the parish civilians, then described the battle process of the Great Retreat of the Watch Canyon, and finally talked about the barbarian army driving away the prisoners and entering the northern border.
Ackerman opened his mouth for half an hour, without breathing or even pausing on the way.
In the middle, the big man Casper secretly pulled the corner of Ackerman's clothes and signaled him to say a long story short, but the latter was completely unconscious and danced and forced himself to finish the conversation.
It's just that Todd didn't feel bored at all when he heard the young man say it for so long.
When Ackerman talked about his experience, he was not a straightforward statement or a boring preaching.
He can grasp every key point of the event, tell every story, and use ups and downs and frequent baggage to capture the hearts of every listener.
Todd shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart that such a person, if he was not a master of storytelling in his previous life, should be a crosstalk actor, and his mouth was really too good to speak. In contrast, Casper would be much silent and would never say more if he could speak less.
I really don't know how these two people with different personalities got together
