Two hundred and forty chapters: the past of the king city (1)(1/2)
Before entering the arena, considering that it is an underground space, based on Marin's personal experience in the underground city there, this should also be an underground world before the era of great destruction, and may be an underground commercial center.
A place like this, but after hearing that it was actually a huge open space half buried underground, Marin felt that this might be a construction site under construction.
After all, the previous dungeon also had an above-ground building, right?
The facts were as Marin expected. When he got out of the car, Marin saw a huge egg-shaped building. The metal cover on the top was definitely built later, because it was somewhat rusty, and the entrance to this underground arena seemed like
It is the main entrance of a subway. The metal walls used as protective walls are still intact until now, and there are also clean and tidy steps.
Marin followed a few people down to the halfway position and met the security guards who were supposed to be responsible for security. They were wearing uniforms. Instructor Emmet Selke was the first to take out a certificate that should be a member, pointing out
Pointing to everyone behind him: "They were invited by me."
So Logan and Cohen went in. Marin took a small notebook to record the information here. When he wanted to follow them, he was stopped.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Quassel, children like him are not allowed in." After stopping Marin, the security guard of the arena looked seriously at Instructor Emmet Selk: "According to the latest regulations,
A kid like him is not allowed in."
"He is an extraordinary person just like me." Instructor Emmet Selk noticed that Marin's eyes were wandering towards the iron handrail and said to the security guard.
"But he is still a child, Mr. Quasser. Unless you can get the approval of my boss, I can't let him go." The security guard said while pointing at Cross: "She too, both of them.
The seats are too small.”
After saying that, he pointed to the notice on the wall. From it, he saw that it was indeed forbidden for people under a certain height and those under the age of sixteen to enter. Marin blinked and felt that he couldn't blame anyone for this matter.
Then he glanced at Rogen and Cohen who had passed by... If you are tall, you can do whatever you want.
Just as he was thinking this, Marin felt the vibrations on the ground. Everyone involuntarily looked towards the dark corridor on the left side of the platform. As footsteps approached, Marin noticed that the security guard began to lower his head, and when the man's body was full of
The muscular Mrs. Marim walked out of the darkness, and the two security guards bowed completely: "Madam!"
"Mr. Marin is my friend, and I vouch for him. He and his little girlfriend can enter." As soon as the lady spoke, these dedicated security guards immediately gave up the passage.
"Madam, we meet again." Marin walked beside the lady, watching her walking with her head lowered the whole time, and looked at her curiously: "I see that you are having a hard time working here, I didn't expect it.
Have you ever changed your job?"
"The Marim family has been running the arena here since seven hundred years ago. I plan to hand over this job to Cassie in a few years. This child is not like his brother and prefers to be quiet and read books, so I think,
This building, which is very quiet when there are no major competitions, is very suitable for him." The lady's voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because she injured her throat in her early years. Her steps were very steady, moving her legs like a machine.
.
"Does this building, like the underground city, also belong to the era of great destruction?" Marin asked, looking at his wife.
"Yes, our Sidney alliance was just one city-state after another a long time ago. It was difficult to survive in the face of the alien species' death wave. Later, the great emperor united us humans and established a huge empire..." Ma
Marin has seen what Mrs. Reem said in history books. It was a very great era, when humans united for the first time, and their territory even advanced into the black zone.
But the invasion of Chaos destroyed everything, and it was not until much later that mankind united again, in the form of one kingdom after another.
"When my ancestor discovered this place, it was a nest of earth dragons. He led his guards and hunted the earth dragons for twenty years before driving this group out of the city. Then he became a pioneer knight
, obtained this building and the surrounding land as his fief. At that time, this great city had not yet begun to be built. Just like your Carter Castle, it was full of spirits and alien species, and accompanied us every day.
The dead and the poor who have risen from the dead.”
"Madam, speaking of which, cremation is to prevent the corpse from resurrecting, right?" Marin looked at this person and asked.
"Yes, even now that the bishops of the God of Justice have learned how to purify, burning the corpse is the simplest and fastest way to purify. The same is true for my ancestors. Their corpses will be burned after death, leaving only one
A handful of ashes and residue, we have to do this in order to survive. Mr. Marin, you are still young, do you understand what survival is."
"Survival is different in everyone's eyes. I only know that in my eyes, survival means that everyone who has the right to live will not face hunger and danger every day." Marin looked at the distance.
Bright light: "By the way, ma'am, why don't you light up the lights? I've seen lighting systems in the dungeons, but don't you have them in this arena of yours?"
"Yes, but there is no main entrance, because this is a dark corridor that every warrior will pass through. Some people have been deformed here because of fear of the dark, and some have witnessed courage that they have never had before."
"Isn't it because the lighting system consumes too much energy and has to be turned off on non-match days, dear Mrs. Marim?" The somewhat sinister laughter of instructor Emmet Selk came from the front.
"Shut your mouth, Quassel boy, and come on and compete with me if you dare."
"Not today. I want to challenge my eldest brother today. I don't want to waste my energy on you." After speaking, Instructor Emmet Selk quickly walked towards the exit.
"Do you know each other?" Marin watched the instructor run out of the exit and turned to look at the lady.
"Of course, in fact, the four Earls and Emmett Selk you met today were all students of a college run by the royal family. Emmett Selk is a very...very awkward guy.
, not many people will like him." When the lady said this, she seemed a little unhappy, as if she mentioned some topics that made her sad. She quickly stopped explaining and walked out of this darkness with Marin.
corridor.
Marin looked up and found that the top of the iron lid could be opened... It seemed to be a less than perfect imitation of the engineering before the Great Destruction, but it would be nice if it could be used.
With this thought, Marin saw the center of the field. There were already more than ten pairs of opponents competing. Mentor Amet Selke had already walked off the field. Marin could see his brother. The two brothers seemed to be talking.
What.
"The era before the great destruction must have been like the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you see these metal steps? They have gone through thousands of years. The earth dragons could not destroy them, and neither could we." Marim sat on the steps.
The lady looked at Marin: "You must want to go out and try your skills, right? Go ahead and show your strength and courage to the world."
Marin nodded and walked to the center of the field.
"Marim, who is that?" A halfling woman came over, and she jumped up and sat on the steps next to Mrs. Marim.
"The child of an acquaintance wants to come in and try his skills." Mrs. Marim replied with a smile.
"It looks like it has really fine skin and tender meat, but what's up with that highly deformed Toby Rabbit, his girlfriend?" The halfling held her chin: "It looks real, he
Aren't you afraid that this rabbit will turn into a meat-eating rabbit that night?"
"Everyone has their own hobbies, Fadel." Mrs. Marim glanced at her friend.
Sometimes, life is like this, friends and passers-by are just a matter of moments. If she really takes action against this child, Marym will not do it, because there are many people who can't wait to kill her.
Am I right, Anna?
The women from the Northland smiled when they thought of this.
"My hobby is cute little guys like him. Can you introduce him to me?" The halfling woman didn't seem to notice the deathly silence in her friend's eyes. She looked at the child standing on the edge of the stand: "He seems to be still choosing.
His prey, little cutie, why don't you take a look back."
"Look back and see how ugly you are, Cousin Fadel." A well-dressed dwarf gentleman came over. He didn't care about the glare of the halfling woman at all. He came to Mrs. Marim and reached out to support her.
With his big hand, he kissed the back of the hand gently.
"Your Excellency Banai, you always like to speak so sharply, and you will not be welcomed by women." Mrs. Marim said with a smile.
"That's why I like you more, Mrs. Marim. Compared with you, my cousin is as stupid as a wild boar. She doesn't even understand who is the real one between her and that child."
Hunter, and who is the real prey." At this point, the dwarf gentleman turned his head and glared at his cousin: "The prey in your eyes is named Gaiyat, Marin is his name, and he is Princess Faye's lover.
Apprentice of the Harvest Goddess, favorite of the Lord of Justice, put your little thoughts away, otherwise I can only watch the Paladin rush into your home, drag you out and hang you on the rack."
"It's him!" Mrs. Fadel frowned upon hearing her cousin's introduction.
"That's why I said you were stupid. You didn't even investigate the background of your prey before you dared to attack it. Your ability to survive until now has always been the biggest mystery in my mind. Will the woman of destiny leave you with this terrible life?"
Just so that one day you can become the most shining one on the stake of the Lord of Justice." The dwarf gentleman said this and adjusted his collar and tie: "I want to go down and talk to Mr. Marin now.
Because as a vice president of the Engineering Society, I need to get closer to him."
"How about I go with you?" The halfling woman seemed to be still ready to make a move.
"Then your brother will come to this city today and hang you and me in the halfling's prison." The dwarf snorted at this point: "So sit here for me, if you dare
Follow me, then you don't need your brother anymore, I will kill you now."
When he said the second half of the sentence, the wire rope from the dwarf's cuffs came out, and it was wrapped twice around the neck of the halfling woman.
"For the sake of any halfling god taking it away, I will never follow you today."
"That's right, I won't stop you from seeking your own death, but if you force me to make a choice today, then I won't treat you differently because of our gender differences. Remember, in the extraordinary world,
Everyone is both a hunter and a prey." Taking back the wire rope he controlled, the dwarf turned to look at Mrs. Marim: "Mrs. Marim, I'll excuse you now."
"Your cousin is really strict." Seeing the dwarf trotting all the way towards his goal, Mrs. Marim leaned forward, using her left hand as a fulcrum to support her chin.
"I never thought he was a dwarf. He is more annoying than my brother. Doesn't this world allow free love? Look at Mr. Marin, how cute he is." The halfling woman said with a long face.
: "Cousin Fadel, you are too old. This damn guy, doesn't he know that speaking to a lady like this is the greatest disrespect?"
"I think your cousin is thinking about you. After all, think about the Lord of Justice. If they really want to kill you, with your usual behavior, I think it will be really difficult to escape death." Mari
After Mrs. Mu said this, she reached out and rubbed the head of this halfling of the same age: "Believe me, Fadel, your cousin and I don't want your life to end on the stake."
"Of course, I also know that you are really doing it for my own good, and I also feel that if one day comes, I should at least die on a man's belly, right." Having said this, Mrs. Fadel looked into the distance: "
Ah, it would be better if he was such a lovely man."
"You swore, Fadel."
"Of course, Marim, but I never admitted that I didn't look at him today. I'm full just looking at such a cute man."
At this point in the conversation between the women, Marin shook his ears and turned to look at the dwarf man who was walking near him: "Good afternoon, sir, what can I do?"
"Of course it's okay, Mr. Marin, hello, I'm from the Half Body Ergonomics Society." The dwarf took out a business card and pointed at himself with a smile: "I have to admit that my appearance is deceiving to a certain extent.
Sex, but you can’t let a dwarf who was picked up and raised by halflings betray his family, right?”
