After watching Deirdre leave his room, Todd sat on the bed and recalled what Ackerman had said. Among the faction leaders in the arena, there was indeed a woman whose name seemed to be Deirdre.
Opening the soul space and finding Rachel, Todd began to ask her about Boyle's life.
"Boyle's original tribe is a branch of a large clan in the south. This tribe has an offensive and defensive alliance with many tribes with the same roots." Rachel said while recalling: "After talking to Als
During the battles against the Kingdom of Te, the power of this tribe was repeatedly weakened, and finally it became a servant army of the kingdom."
"But Boyle is extremely ambitious. While pretending to obey the Kingdom of Ulster, he secretly cultivates his own army."
Todd opened the map of the North on the computer and nodded while listening: "So, have you heard of this woman Deirdre?"
"Deirdre?"
Rachel's expression became a little strange: "Where did you hear this name?"
"Just now, she came to me and said she could help me and Boyle's tribe leave the arena."
Rachel stared into Todd's eyes: "Is this the first time she comes to you?"
Todd shook his head: "There was another time before, but at that time I couldn't understand Hindi and I didn't know who she was."
"Deirdre is a well-known beauty among the southern tribes. When she was eleven years old, her father concluded an alliance with Boyle and promised to hold a wedding for the two of them when she came of age..." Rachel
I squinted my eyes and glanced at Todd: "How is it? Are you a little excited after hearing this?"
Todd looked confused: "Heartbeat?"
Rachel narrowed her eyes and smiled: "You have obtained Boyle's identity now, which means you can...um..."
Rachel formed a ring with the thumb and index finger of her left hand, and moved the index finger of her right hand in and out of the ring.
Todd's eyes widened: "Where did you learn this move?!"
Rachel raised her chin and pointed at the computer.
"Don't look at those messy things!" Todd rubbed his temples with his fingers and said helplessly: "I won't do this kind of thing that desecrates the dead and takes advantage of people's danger."
Hearing Todd's words, Rachel's expression could not tell whether she was serious or joking: "If you accept her, she might still be happy."
"What's the meaning?"
"That woman is a mutant, and a cursed mutant."
——————————————————————
Returning to the real world from the soul space, Todd fell down on the wooden bed, looked at the shed in front of him, and sighed.
In the past, he took the matter of obtaining Boyle's identity too simply.
Obtaining a person's identity not only means getting his property, but also means that you will assume his responsibilities.
If Todd was a hard-hearted or sinister person, then everything would be much easier. All he needs to do is to adhere to the principle of maximizing interests and get everything he wants by any means necessary.
However, the moral sense and commandments from the previous life prevent travelers from this civilized world from using chaotic and disordered thoughts to influence their behavior.
This may be a bad thing, but it may also be a good thing.
Putting aside these distractions for the time being, Todd's life went quite regularly for the next week.
After getting up early in the morning, washing up and having breakfast, Todd would spend three minutes pulling all Muxi Kingdom officials into the soul space to listen to their reports and make work arrangements.
After finishing the affairs of the kingdom, Todd will invite Rachel to enter the soul space to learn about recent events in the Kingdom of Ulster and listen to information about important figures.
After completing these two things in the soul space, Todd will go to the gladiator training ground. In name, he is watching the training of low-level fighters. In fact, he is trying to find ways to learn how to fight secretly while they are fighting.
The basics of.
After lunch and a short nap, Todd would call Ackerman, Casper and the Barbarian sisters to check on their rehearsals and preparations.
The newly appointed director of the arena, Fiocha, regretted not being able to watch the four-person confrontation. In order to make up for his regret, he even privately found the four people and hoped that they would recreate the process of the arena fight again.
After their wish was fulfilled, beyond the expectations of the four of them, Fiocha greatly appreciated this novel fighting method.
Regarding this humble nobleman, Todd learned about his origins from Rachel.
Fiocha's father, Fergus, was the half-brother of the previous King of Ulster. After the death of the previous King, in order to marry the beautiful widow Queen, he voluntarily gave up his right to inherit the throne and transferred
And gave the king's crown to the queen's son, Conchieber.
So in this way, Fiocha is the younger brother of King Conchieber.
Fergal, a close confidant of the king, originally wanted to ask the king to give him the position of director of the arena. However, because he rejected the other party's request to get involved with his daughter Emer, the king instead gave the position of director of the arena to Fei.
Ocha.
It sounds very complicated, but in the final analysis, there are only four people in power in Ulster who play a power game around the "red circle", namely King Conchieber, his confidant Fergal, and the former king's brother Fergus.
and Fiocha, son of Fergus.
The topic returned to Fiocha.
Every afternoon, Fiocha would find Todd and ask for another duel.
Probably after understanding this young man's preferences, Todd will follow his preferences and pick out some difficult but extremely gorgeous moves from previous movies and games and use them in battle.
Whenever this happens, Fiocha can't help but stop his movements and repeatedly ask Todd to repeat the fighting moves until he memorizes them.
After finishing the day's work, when the sun sets and the other gladiators have returned to their residences, Todd will sneak out, sneak into the second underground floor, and start looking for the secret passage Ackerman talks about.
With the power of night vision and perspective, it doesn't take much effort to find the secret passage.
In the waste warehouse, there is a sewer. The iron fence at the entrance has long been rusted and corroded due to lack of maintenance over the years. With a gentle lift of your hand, the iron fence can be removed, revealing a pipe that only one person can crawl through.
Presumably the old Earl who escaped from the arena must have followed this path.
After confirming the escape route, Todd began to think about how to bring Boyle's tribe out of the arena safely.
One evening, while he was secretly planning his escape plan, Ackerman and Casper suddenly came to his door.
"Lord Boyle, we have something to discuss with you."
Looking at Ackerman standing at the door hesitating, Todd felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"You must have provoked another woman with a hot temper, right?"
Ackerman quickly smiled and waved his hand: "That's right, after seeing the two of us fighting with Parli and Parni, several friends came to us, hoping to learn how to perform battles."
Casper's face was as choked as pig liver. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth for a long time, but finally remained silent.
Todd stood up, looked at Ackerman who looked worried, and said doubtfully: "How do they know about the battle show?"
"The performance of the four of us may be enough to cope with the audience. But there are many experienced gladiators who can tell the clues by observing the position of the arrows and the strength of the attack." Ackerman
Scratching his head: "They found us and asked about the whole story. Originally we wanted to keep it secret..."
"It's not because of your big mouth..." Casper growled angrily.
Ackerman's expression became even more reserved. He lowered his head and said, "About the artificial blood and flint matters, they repeatedly asked for the truth. We really couldn't stand it, so we could only bring them to see you."
Todd waved his hands carelessly and said: "It's not a big deal if you want to learn combat performance. At most, I have to work harder and teach a few more people. By the way, after all, how many people are there?"
Beads of sweat slowly overflowed from Ackerman's forehead. He stretched out three trembling fingers and stammered: "No more, no more, just a few people."
"Three people?" Todd asked suspiciously, looking at the three fingers raised by the other party.
Ackerman forced a smile and said: "A little more."
"Thirty people?!"
"A little more..."
Todd lost his patience and pushed away the two people blocking the door. Taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun, he looked at the square under the platform of the residence.
Wherever you look, there are people everywhere!
A dense crowd of gladiators crowded under the terrace. When they saw Todd's appearance, they all cheered: "Champion of the Red!"
Among them were people from the North Island, barbarians, and people from the plains. Taken together, the number actually numbered in the hundreds.
Todd turned back stiffly, looked at Ackerman with a stern expression, and cursed helplessly: "You bastard..."
