"Dear Lord Rhodes, I would like to ask you, how did you defeat seven beastmen with one person in that encounter? Did they come together? Or did they take turns, one by one?"
Alves is a clever guy. He asks some very strange questions from time to time. Others just think of it as curiosity. But in Rhodes' view, this guy definitely has ulterior motives. He is exploring something intentionally or unintentionally. Knowledge officer, generally
They are doing research that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and have made great achievements in mysticism and religion. Rhodes only thinks this guy is annoying, but he is indeed very useful.
"Take turns, come one at a time."
Rhodes returned with a smile.
"No way? Didn't you tell my father that those beastmen came together? You were also injured..."
As soon as Rhode finished speaking, Caroline on the side interrupted uneasily, making both Rhodes and Alves look embarrassed.
"Miss Caroline, I think you must have heard wrong. With seven beastmen coming together, no matter how powerful I am, I still can't escape."
Seeing Alves' curious gaze, Rhodes quickly helped himself out. The dwarf smiled and did not ask further. Perhaps because he understood and asked further, the lord of Black Hammer Castle in front of him would not say anything. After all, they
Not familiar yet.
They started to visit along the periphery of the arena and walked all the way to the weapons warehouse. This was the last place that the gladiators arrived before going on stage. The challengers here picked their weapons, stone hammers, axes, and spears.
And iron swords. Bows and arrows are prohibited here. In the eyes of the iron people, using bows and arrows is a sign of cowardice. Only in the battle of defending the city when the enemy is outnumbered, the soldiers of the Iron Ring City will use bows and arrows. And in a fair game
In the arena, there is absolutely no shadow of bows and arrows. Both the lords and residents of the Iron Ring City prefer to watch bloody fights at close range rather than shooting at the edge of the field.
Rhodes noticed that some of the gladiators who were practicing fighting were not wearing shackles, bracelets or shackles, which meant that these people were free people.
"Not all gladiators in Iron Ring City are slaves. On the contrary, a large part of those who participate in competitive competitions are free people, and some of them are even professional gladiators. The prize money for winning competitive competitions is very objective.
Sometimes the wealth gained from winning a game exceeds the income you earn from working normally for a year. Therefore, many strong and lazy people participate in this high-risk sport. The competitive spirit is integrated into the blood of the people of Iron Ring City, and blood and force are
, is what people admire.”
"The whole people in the North are like this."
Rod returns.
Whenever Rhodes pays attention to observing a phenomenon, Alves can always introduce these things very well. Probably if the gods deprive you of something, they will give you other precious things. Alves lost his healthy body, but
, but he has an extremely smart head. This dwarf's IQ even makes Rhodes feel a little scared. But fortunately, this guy still understands the overall situation and has always stood on his side.
They walked to the cell area. This was where all kinds of slaves, war dealers, death row prisoners and rapists were imprisoned. The strong smell of sweat made Caroline stop outside the door. Alves walked in with Rod.
.They want to meet the legendary savage - Mao Tou. If nothing else happens, Rhodes will face him in person tomorrow.
"Don't underestimate your opponent, Lord. Although he is a savage, he is different from the beastmen. The beastmen can only roar and roar, but they are extremely powerful. However, they do not understand combat skills. But Maotou understands, he
He was the ever-victorious champion of the arena. For fifteen years, no gladiator had escaped alive from his axe. His strength could tear a bull apart, and his skills were also the best among all gladiators.
"
Alves continued to walk and talk.
They were still just two people alone together, not letting others hear their conversation. Even the guards were driven away by the dwarf. He believed in Rhodes, as if he was born to believe him.
"I'll take it seriously."
Rod answered.
"I hope you can succeed. Blackhammer Castle needs you, and the North needs you."
Alves said with a smile.
"Alas, it has been two hundred years. It has been two hundred years. The northern border has not encountered a real threat. The entire kingdom, including the southern empire, has not suffered a real threat. People have long forgotten the reason for war in the paradise land of peace.
However, the war has never stopped, and the threats of Chaos and Greenskins have never really disappeared. Do you know, Your Highness, Lord, every time in the past when the world was in crisis and on the verge of destruction, the gods would always bring their own
Divine power was given to a mortal, allowing him to exist as a savior to save this beautiful planet. Two hundred years ago, the great imperial general Magnus was such a person. However, two hundred years later, the gods no longer
He cares for mortals, but the world of mortals is becoming more and more dangerous."
Alves sighed.
Rhodes instinctively felt that there was something in this little man's words, but he could still put it aside.
"Really? Gods will bestow their divine power on mortals?"
Rhodes pretended to be stupid.
"Yes, as long as this world is dangerous enough, and when mortals cannot resist evil alone, they will come."
Alves replied.
"Then why don't they come on their own? They are gods. Can't they just wipe out the dark army with one blow?"
"Lord, I am not a god, so I cannot answer your question. But I think the gods must have their own principles and reasons."
Alves raised his mouth and said.
"But there is one phenomenon that is very special."
"What?"
Rhodes asked pretending to be casual.
"Three months ago, a blue comet fell in the northern sky, heading along the frozen forest. According to historical records, every time a blue comet fell from the sky, something big was going to happen, or it was an invasion of chaos.
It's a sign, or it's a revelation of blessings from the gods. In short, I've studied astronomy so far, and I haven't found a similar phenomenon. This is exciting news."
Alves said, deliberately moving closer to Rhodes, as if he was worried that outsiders would know about it.
But Rhodes himself was an outsider... He smiled and didn't reply. It could be felt that this little dwarf was not simple. He seemed to be guessing something, seemed to know something, and was looking for something in Rhodes. But Rhodes was just pretending.
I don’t know, and I don’t care. Because if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. This is the truth summarized by the ancients of the great heaven.
While chatting all the way, they unknowingly arrived at the place where the savages were imprisoned. Maotou, the majestic arena champion was inside.
