In about a quarter of an hour, Boronard returned to the training ground carrying a quilt and pillow.
"Little brother, I'll put the quilt right here."
"Okay, sorry for that."
The boy who was lying on the ground doing push-ups immediately stood up when he heard the footsteps. He was relieved when he saw that the person coming was this bald man.
Perhaps because he thought about that man again, the young man's spirit was a little sensitive and he would easily get nervous when he heard the slightest disturbance.
"It's nothing, but do you really want to spend the night in this damn place?"
There are really not many people who would spend a night at the training ground. After all, gladiators basically have assigned residences. No matter how shabby the accommodation is, there is no need to spend the night in an empty and cold training ground.
"Well, I probably don't plan to go back to sleep."
If we go home, the situation probably won't change, so we can stay at the training ground for some peace and quiet.
Boronar slapped his head and suggested: "Then why not come to my house?"
"Uh, forget it, I plan to recover at the training ground."
To sleep with a bald and muscular man who is not familiar to him, just thinking about it makes the air feel a little anxious. Of course, the young man resists it in his heart.
"Okay, brother, if you are sure you want to spend the night here, I will lock the door to prevent thieves from coming in at night."
"good......"
There was some doubt in the boy's voice in response. The door bolt of the training ground door was on the outside and could not be locked on the inside. In other words, once the door was locked, it meant that the boy was also locked in the training ground.
But there is a certain truth to what Boronar said about closing the door. The boy was also worried that some unknown person would break in while he was sleeping. But if the door was closed, what if he wanted to go out?
Boronar saw the boy's doubts. He pointed to the top of the wall on the left and said: "After closing the door, if you want to go out for something, you can go out from here."
"Ventilation duct?"
"That's right, the screws on the cover are very loose. You can open it by just tightening it a little. You should be able to move around easily in it based on your body shape. You can go straight to the ventilation duct and get to the walkway outside."
"Okay, thank you very much. By the way, Bronnar, how did you know about such a secret passage?"
"Ah, my father and I worked on the construction site during the construction of the underground city. It can be said that I have lived here since the day the underground city was opened. I basically know the structure of the underground city."
Boronal is an aborigine of Iron Feather City. He has grown up in Iron Feather City since he was a child. Unfortunately, his parents were both slaves, so he also inherited the status of a slave. As an adult, Boronal relied on
Because he had certain fighting talents, he became a gladiator in Iron Feather City.
"Eh? That's just right. Brother Boronar, can you tell me why Iron Feather City has such a huge dungeon? Is it really created by magic?"
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so the young man simply asked Boronar about Iron Feather City.
"Ha, I don't know if this place was created by magic, but I do know a more reliable theory."
Bronar paused and continued:
"The reason why the underground city of Tieyu City is so huge is said to be related to a major fall hundreds of years ago. There used to be a large ancient city here, but for unknown reasons, the ancient city's geology dropped downwards by dozens of meters.
meters, and the waves of the nearby Polit Sea brought a large amount of silt and buried the old city. The Iron Feather City was built on top of the ancient city. The lords of the Iron Feather City in the past generations have paid close attention to the ruins of the ancient city.
Excavation and development led to the current underground city."
"Um, is it possible that there will be a big fall now?"
Boronar touched his scalp and said, "It shouldn't be possible, right? Anyway, I have lived in Iron Feather City for almost thirty years, and I have never encountered an earthquake or anything."
"Okay, I have one last question."
The young man saw that it was getting late, and he didn't want to disturb the bald man for too long.
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"Do you know Bai Feng?"
"Bai Feng?! That terrifying female tiger? Oh! Brother, why did you suddenly mention her? Could it be that she is your opponent the day after tomorrow?"
Boronard obviously knew it, and judging from his physical reaction of dilated pupils and sweating on his forehead, it was clear that he was deeply impressed by the owner of this name.
Seeing that Brownal was so excited, the young man couldn't speak directly, so he could only say vaguely: "Uh, it's nothing, just asking."
"That Bai Feng came to Iron Feather City as a prisoner of war three years ago. Orc slaves and us humans will not live together. I don't know much about Bai Feng."
Boronard held his chin and began to recall:
"I only know that this Bai Feng has never lost in all the games he has played in the past three years since he became a gladiator. He is also the record holder of the highest winning streak among gladiators. Even Baron Feng Ze deliberately arranged ruthless characters.
Let her lose the game and she will win."
"Um, don't you have any information on the characteristics of your moves or weaknesses?"
"Although I have fought against that female orc, the orc's attacks are basically unorganized. Her fighting skills, I only know the Tiger's Breath Fist, but I don't know the rest."
"Have you ever fought with her?"
"Uh-huh."
Boronar said with an embarrassed look:
"To this day, I'm just glad that the match wasn't a life-and-death fight. I lost consciousness not long after the fight with that terrifying female tiger. When I woke up, I had been lying in the medical room for three days and almost died.
I really want to see Candela (the God of Death).”
"Ah... my condolences."
The young man didn't know whether he said these words to the bald man in front of him or to himself.
"It's getting late, brother, I'm going back first."
"Well, bye. Oh, by the way!"
The young man remembered something again and immediately called out to Boronal who had just turned around.
"Ah? Is there anything else?"
Boronar looked at the young man with a suspicious look on his face. Apparently, the young man's behavior of calling him out again made him
"Uh, brother, you should pay more attention to your safety recently."
At this time, the young man thought of Mayena's death prophecy again, and the bald man in front of him who he had just met happened to be within the scope of the prophecy.
But what could he do? Apart from giving a verbal reminder, the young man found that he had nothing to do.
"Ha, okay, I'll pay attention."
When the bald man heard the young man's concerned words, he touched his scalp in embarrassment and laughed innocently.
After the two said goodbye, the boy turned around and heard the "clicking" sound of the lock, knowing that Boronard had really locked the door.
At this moment, there were only a few braziers filled with red-hot charcoal in the empty training ground, swaying brightly and dimly in the cold wind. Even though everything was completely silent, the young man was still a little restless. He held the dagger in both hands and continued to attack the fake ones.
People launched an offensive.
After practicing for a while, the boy cleaned the entire training ground and arranged the weapons on the weapon rack neatly. After doing all this, the boy who was sweating profusely finally felt tired and looked for a place.
A worn spring cushion was used to spread the bedding given by Boronaal.
The boy who was about to fall asleep in the warm quilt suddenly couldn't fall asleep again.
The reason this time was for no other reason than a feeling of urination in the bladder.
"Damn it! I just took a nap and everything happened!"
The young man stood up and saw the locked door, and his heart suddenly collapsed.
Although the boy didn't have the option of peeing directly on the training ground, he had just cleaned it up here, so it was a little bit...
"Climb into the ventilation duct, right? Just crawl!"
The young man turned his attention to the ventilation duct that Bronnar had mentioned before. The rusty nuts showed a dark luster in the dim firelight.
The entrance to the ventilation duct is about three meters above the ground. This height is not very difficult for teenagers.
"Hey!"
About three steps away from the wall, the young man concentrated his fighting energy on his legs, exerted force on his calves, stabilized his waist and then jumped.
The boy's toes stepped on the earthen wall twice. He grabbed his hands forward and clasped the iron mesh cover with his fingers.
Then the young man hooked the iron net with one hand and buckled the nuts at the four corners with the other hand. The moment the iron net cover fell to the ground, he stretched his hands forward to grab the edge of the pipe to prevent his body from falling, and then continued
I went in with all my strength.
"Oops, I didn't bring any candles."
The young man couldn't see what was in front of him because he couldn't see his fingers inside the pipe where the cold wind was blowing. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
But the feeling of urination in his bladder made him very uncomfortable, and his mind was a little dazed due to exhaustion, so he simply bit the bullet and crawled in.
He crawled forward for a while, and just when he thought he had almost reached the exit, the boy's head hit the wall with a clang.
It's impossible to go straight!
The young man holding his red and swollen forehead recalled the way Bronnar said this, but it seemed that the other party's sworn words were not reliable, and he could not go out directly.
No matter what, just wander around and you can always get out.
With this thought in mind, the young man began to look for a random direction and crawled up in the passage.
However, the young man underestimated the complexity of the ventilation ducts in this underground city. He had been inside for less than half an hour and was still unable to climb out.
Although he should be able to find a way out if he followed the direction of the wind, he was surrounded by turbulent airflows, and it was impossible to figure out where these airflows were coming from. Coupled with the complete darkness in the passage, he was not a road fool.
The boy was finally...lost.
In addition to being cold and damp, these passages are also extremely narrow. Once you choose a direction, you can almost only crawl forward. If you want to turn around, there is no extra space. When you reach the fork where you can turn, the young man realizes that he has forgotten the way he came. Everything
Just rely on feeling.
I won't die trapped in there, right?
While the boy was thinking desperately, he randomly chose a direction in the fork and continued crawling.
Light!
After climbing for a while, the young man's almost drooped eyes suddenly opened, and an extremely dazzling and eye-catching light shone from the end of the passage.
It's the exit!
The boy sped up his crawling speed. When he climbed to the end with all his strength, he found a bright independent room connected under the passage. In the center of the room was a pool. Next to the pool, there were several animal-headed nozzles spraying water into it.
But at this time, the young man had no intention of figuring out where this place was. After using his fingers to unscrew the nuts of the iron mesh cover that sealed the passage exit, he immediately grabbed the loose iron mesh cover and pushed it forward.
Jumped down.
"It's killing me!"
After placing the iron mesh cover in his hand on the wall covered with white ceramic tiles, the boy, who had already turned blue, immediately ran to the pool in two steps.
"...Well?!"
The woman standing in front of the door, holding a bathtub and wrapped in a bath towel, made the boy's hands holding the waistband freeze.
