142. Dreamland

On the ring in the middle, the two sides fought very fiercely. In just a few minutes, they had already fought each other for more than ten rounds. The surrounding audience was excited and cheered and applauded endlessly.

But people who really understand swordsmanship are a little puzzled, such as Luo Er.

"Is this guy deliberately putting on a show?"

He pointed at the gladiator with his chin and asked a question.

He could tell at a glance that the strength of the two of them was not at the same level. The famous swordsman on the other side was no match for the gladiator. If a life-and-death fight was serious, he would probably die without even making a single move.

But the gladiator was not in a hurry to win, but fought with the opponent in various ways, and from time to time he would show off his flaws to make the opponent feel that he still had a chance and could still win.

His acting skills can be said to be consummate and very professional. He not only deceived the surrounding audience and referees, but also deceived Oriana.

Of course, the main reason for this is that most of the attention of the Saint of Flame was on Rohr. It was not until Rohr pointed out that she took a closer look, then nodded and said:

"Indeed, this guy looks like a fighter from an underground arena."

"So that's the case, then it's no wonder."

Roll nodded.

The underground arena is the hardest hit area for illegal competitions and fake competitions. People without acting skills will definitely not be able to get through.

"However, a place like the Imperial Capital actually has an underground arena? You seem to know a lot about this?"

Roll asked one more question out of curiosity.

This question made Oriana panic for a moment. Like a little girl who was asked about her privacy, she waved her hands repeatedly and explained hurriedly:

"No, no!"

"How could I be that kind of person? I never go to that kind of place!"

As he said this, he lowered his head shyly, not daring to look at Luo Er.

Anya on the side tried to hold back her laughter and almost didn't make a sound.

She had heard a long time ago that when His Excellency the Saint of Flame was still a young and beautiful girl, he gained such a prestigious reputation as the 'Scorching Flame Swordswoman' in the underground arena of the imperial capital.

Who hasn’t been young and frivolous in the late middle school years?

Fortunately, Rohr did not dwell on these details and continued:

"Then this guy performs on stage just to cheat other people's gambling money?"

Although the two of them seemed to be evenly matched on the scene, the gladiators still had some "visible" advantages, which was enough to attract many people to make heavy bets.

So when the bets were almost placed, he suddenly performed again. Unfortunately, he failed, but he also made countless people go to the rooftop.

In short, it is a gamble that dogs will not die well.

And the development of the situation was just as Rohr expected. When the odds were getting higher and higher, it was time for the two sides in the ring to decide the final winner.

"Drink!"

The famous swordsman on the opposite side used all his strength, jumped up high, and used a move that in Luo Er's eyes was equivalent to death-a high-altitude slash.

The gladiator originally had the strength to dodge, but he made a very risky choice. Instead of retreating, he took the initiative to meet him. It seemed that he planned to take advantage of the huge flaw that his opponent could not dodge in mid-air.

This is a choice that is very consistent with experience and common sense.

However, the famous swordsman was not too stupid. He specifically chose an angle to take off, with his back facing the already very bright and dazzling sun in the sky. If the opponent wanted to take advantage of his flaw to counterattack, he would have to raise his head.

Your eyes will be dazzled by the sun.

Sure enough, the gladiator was trapped. He raised his head, narrowed his eyes sharply, and reacted correctly as if he was blinded. The sword he had originally extended to attack was forced to withdraw his chest and switched to blocking.

Then he was hit hard, and he retreated several steps in embarrassment under the huge power of his opponent.

With this retreat, he just exited the boundary of the ring. He was defeated by just one move.

All of this happened suddenly, but it was natural and logical, with no flaws at all.

An old actor.

"Look, it really is like this."

Rolle smiled disdainfully.

But the betting dogs around them realized that their hard-earned money was wasted, and they lost their money again.

So except for a few people who had placed bets or those who had not placed bets and were able to give the winner some applause, most of the remaining people began to curse and use all kinds of vulgar words, making the venue instantly become chaotic.

It's like a vegetable market.

"RNM refunds the money!"

“So disappointed I knock!”

"I'm so fucking disappointed!"

Many people who lost and lost everything wanted to eat the gladiator alive. If looks and curses could kill, he would have died hundreds of times.

But these are all in the plan and are what he wants.

The gladiator left the stage sadly amid scoldings, then reached out and took out a small glass bottle from his arms.

The bottle was completely filled with a thick and viscous black substance that looked like smoke.

Then, he turned the bottle cap slightly.

The glass bottle shone slightly, and the black substance inside overflowed out in all directions.

At the same time, in many secret basements in the imperial capital, several arcane magic circles carved on the floor began to emit a strange green light.

If you can look down from a high altitude, you can see that the basements and the glory arena in the center together form a pattern that looks like characters.

The next second, it was originally a sunny morning, but it suddenly turned dark.

Luo Er also felt a bunch of fragrant and soft things being squeezed into his arms from left to right, and heard a muffled thump behind him.

"Eh? You...what do you want to do? I'm not that kind of person!"

Rohr looked a little nervous when he looked at Oriana who suddenly got into his arms.

Oriana's eyes were closed tightly, as if she was asleep, and her long and thick eyelashes were trembling slightly, as if she had had a bad dream?

And not only was something wrong with her, Jeanne and Anya on the other side, and the housekeeper behind her, were also asleep.

Rohr quickly looked around and found that all the audience present were asleep, including the famous swordsman who was giving an acceptance speech on the stage.

Farther away, there was a series of vehicle collision sounds, and a large number of steam vehicles were scurrying around like headless flies, creating a tragic car accident scene.

"What exactly is this..."

Rolle realized something was wrong, and even felt a creepy feeling.

He threw Oriana aside in his arms, held Jeanna's shoulders next to him with both hands, and shook her hard twice.

"Jean! Jeanne! Wake up!"

Jeanne closed her eyes tightly and slept soundly.

"If you don't wake up, I will print out your childhood photos and hang them on the wall!"

Rolle tried to threaten.

But this obviously won't work.

Roll then checked Oriana's condition and grabbed her soft and beautiful face.

Oriana lets him do whatever he wants...

"Oops...what should I do?"

"Ah! Daughter! Where is my daughter?"

Rolle ran out of the VIP box in a panic and rushed to the players' rest area in the arena.

Along the way, I saw countless people lying on the ground, looking like they were asleep or dead.

Fortunately, Luo Er successfully found his baby daughter in the rest area and hugged her into his arms.

He quickly tried various methods, such as biting his face, scratching his soles of feet, spinning a windmill, etc., to try to wake his daughter up.

Naturally, everything is ineffective. It is obvious that such a drowsy state cannot be awakened by conventional means.

But just when Rohr was extremely anxious, he noticed that a contestant next to him suddenly twitched his limbs, and then several horrific wounds appeared out of thin air on his body, and blood flowed all over the floor.

There was also an expression of pain and horror on his face, as if he had had an extremely terrifying nightmare.

The man twisted on the ground for a while and soon stopped breathing.

It looked like he was killed by something in his dream.

Luo Er's expression suddenly became serious.

Not only do people fall into a deep sleep, they are also very likely to lose their lives in their dreams.

Including my own daughter!

"What can I do..."

Roll held his daughter in his arms and searched desperately in his left hand to see if there was anything that could help.

But after searching all over, only the pamphlet the doctor gave him might be useful.

He quickly opened the magical manual and used all three magical techniques on his daughter.

But Keli's condition still hasn't improved.

Luo Er jumped to his feet anxiously.

If something unexpected happened to his daughter, he couldn't imagine what he would become or what he would do.

Probably, the world will be buried with her.

As his heart became more and more anxious, his idea became more and more intense. The strong impulse to destroy everything in his heart began to grow rapidly, causing the surrounding air to gradually solidify.

This is definitely not the incompetent rage of ordinary people.

At least from a distance, Ah Da and Ah Er, who were watching from afar, reluctantly supported their bodies with their sticks to prevent themselves from kneeling in worship at this inappropriate occasion.

In their eyes, in a strange vision different from ordinary people, the rest area where Rohr was located was turning into an extremely terrifying area.

The entire rest area has turned into a dark, dusk-like area, and the distorted fluctuations of the air flowing out of it are the effects of strong pressure.

This physical pressure seems to be able to destroy and crush everything?

But even the mysterious Ah Da could feel a buzzing in his head, accompanied by a strong tinnitus and dizziness, just by looking in that direction twice.

Although it is not mental pollution, it can still cause serious mental trauma to him.

"Is this the pressure of the village chief?"

"That place is twisting and splitting. If we can't calm down the village chief, we will be in real trouble."

"Why is there such a terrifying existence as the village chief in this world?"

Ada's expression under the mask became extremely pale.

He had never seen the village chief lose such a temper.

I never imagined that the village chief in an angry state could be so terrifying.

This is also a side that other villagers have never seen.

Ada was already considering breaking his previous promise and helping the village chief solve the current trouble.

But at this moment, the terrible pressure suddenly disappeared.

Rolle seemed to have calmed down again.

Because Keli, who was sleeping, suddenly stretched out her little hand and grasped the hem of his clothes tightly.

Rolle could clearly feel that her daughter was feeling scared. She must have encountered an extremely terrifying nightmare.

But just being incompetent and furious can't solve this situation. He must calm down and think of a solution.

"Everyone is dreaming, but I am awake. If I can also fall asleep..."

Rolle suddenly had a bold idea.

But at this moment, he was so anxious, how could he possibly fall asleep?

"no solution anymore……"

Luo Er took out the sword from his left hand and shouted softly:

"three!"

With the activation of Upanishad Three, the sword turned into a flying sword, shot out from the scabbard, and then drew a large arc, accurately hitting Rohr himself in the back of the head with the hilt of the sword.

Then, he passed out smoothly.

"Ah this..."

Ah Da, who was in the distance, noticed this scene and suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Ah Er, who was next to him, stretched out his hand and pulled his arm.

Ah Da nodded, and the two figures disappeared from the spot, and then appeared next to Luo Er.

Ah Er spoke again after a long absence and said in a deep voice:

"This place must not be desecrated."

Following his words, a burst of distortion and blur appeared in the area where Rohr was located, wrapping him and Keli in his sleep together.

This can protect him from the influence of the external environment and allow him to sleep peacefully.

After doing all this, the two brothers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and left quickly like thieves.

On Rohr's side, after being knocked unconscious by himself, his eyesight went dark at first, and then lit up again.

He found that he was in a strange place.

Generally speaking, it still looks like an imperial capital. You can see the outlines of Gothic buildings in the distance, but they are shrouded in thick fog and look hazy.

This kind of fog spreads all over the city, looming everywhere.

The sky was also dark, with only a blood-red full moon reflecting some dim light.

In the mist in the distance, you can still vaguely see some faint lights flickering, and you can hear some low roars and murmurs, as if there is some unknown and terrifying thing lurking.

"Dream city?"

After roughly observing the environment, Luo Er muttered in a low voice.

Then, he checked his left hand and found that the sword was still lying quietly in it, and other items he carried with him were also intact.

It seems like everything in reality is reflected in dreams?

"It feels a bit like Yannan City, a bit interesting..."

As he spoke, he took out the sword from his left hand, rotated the hilt, and transformed it into the form of a two-handed axe.

Then he deliberately took out a bowler hat and put it on, then slightly pressed the brim of the bowler hat, and whispered:

"Tonight, Roll joins the hunt."

Alas, I didn’t draw Keli...
