Chapter 163 City of Misty
One-eyed Kaila sighed regretfully: "That's the truth. Even if you reject those voices and comments, as long as you defeat the King of Fighting Skills, you will become the next King of Fighting Skills. You will eventually have the appeal and influence that makes the rulers unhappy, and it is impossible to escape blindly."
Chen Yaogang smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I know this situation. How can I say it? Maybe this is called being in the world of the world and being involuntarily..."
"The only thing that is thankful is that I was a bit prescient about this, and formed a reliable team in advance that can provide me with a safe haven. It is much better to bear those blame and praise in the name of the team than to take the results of one person alone and wait for trouble to come to you."
"Even if Sora really appears in Fair London again, we can kill him by gang fights, without having to play rituals and singles in a stern way like the rules of the arena. After all, we are investigating missions and combat missions, not for those boring personal honors."
One-eyed Kaira had a headache and reached out to perform magic on the investigation report to make the ink stain dry quickly: "Are you serious? Our main task to Fair London is to repair the teleportation array and gain more vitality for the Human Alliance. If we are entangled by a group of troublesome people, we will not be able to return smoothly within the scheduled time."
"Look, I'm going to help you guys write a survey report, and I'm so busy that we're so busy. Our itinerary and schedule are very tight, and we can't get any time to deal with unexpected troubles."
Chen Yaogang smiled and said, "It's okay, I know enough about Fair London. After all, I was cheated by the Blood Shark Union and became a slave gladiator. Even if Sora just appeared again, I still have a way to use the mechanism and traps to quickly solve him."
"The arena has various traps to prevent slaves from escaping. I know this very well, so you can write an investigation report with confidence and leave it to us for the battle exploration. Anyway, the relics of the Siren are on you, so we can be more despicable... Let you turn into a mermaid form, charming Soragang, and then attack him with a sneak attack."
One-eyed Kaila widened her eyes: "Hey, you can say such bad words! You always betray each other for fighting opportunities. Even if you don't want the honor of the King of Fighting Skills, your methods are too shameless!"
Kolido also asked curiously: "It's a bit inappropriate. Chen, what did you go through at the beginning?"
Chen Yaogang sneered: "Shameless? There is no shame in the arena. When I was a slave gladiator, I knew... For some empires, barbarians are not humans, barbarians are just beasts."
"It's all my fault that I was too stupid at the time and believed in the promises of the Blood Shark Mercenary Union. I thought that if I helped them gain fame and interests, they would help me redeem my true freedom and give me the opportunity to return to the bitter and cold land in the north to find my compatriots."
"But I was outrageously wrong. For those empires who completely regarded me as beasts, all promises and contracts were bullshit. As long as my battle could not please the noble spectators or the organizers of the arena, I would not be able to leave the battlefield and would have to fight one round after another."
"As the rotation of the fence winch mechanism, a steady stream of beasts and slave fighters enter the battlefield from various channels. If no one spends money to protect you, or if there are enough spectators who like you, your popularity and prestige are high enough, the ruler will squeeze out the last trace of your life."
Chen Yaogang sighed depressedly. Taligang's memory was so profound that it continued to affect his emotions after the soul was fused.
"Unless you show enough commercial value, so that the ruler will not be willing to destroy you, a slave who can attract attention and gold coins when weighing the pros and cons... Most slave gladiators who are thrown into the battlefield, and those who voluntarily sign up for freedom gladiators, actually have the same ending."
Leoke said with a heavy face: "It seems that Soragon's legend of bravery is a lie. Those stories that can change their destiny by winning the fighting skills are just lies woven by the rulers... to deceive more people into jumping into their arena."
Chen Yaogang shook his head: "The legend is true, but there are only a handful of people who can become the king of fighting skills. Even those with potential will be regarded as threats, and they will be knocked down with poisonous weapons or simply killed."
"Sora Gang was able to become the king of fighting skills, because of his strength, and because of his relative simplicity and desirelessness... Third, Sora Gang meets the ruler's needs for creating gods. So he became a well-known inspirational fighting skills hero, but he cheated many people to die in vain."
Kolido asked again: "Then how did you escape back then?"
Chen Yaogang said helplessly: "There is nothing to say. I was cheated by the Blood Shark Union. After being defeated, I was sent to a slave ship and almost died in that shipwreck."
"If you have time, let's talk about specific things, everyone will rest early. Fair London is not a place to make fun of. According to the scout's information, the fog concentration there is very high, and the effective visual distance during the battle generally does not exceed 50 yards. If you are not mentally energetic, you will easily be attacked by monsters to death."
"Chen..." One-eyed Kaila looked like she wanted to speak but stopped. Seeing Chen Yaogang's expression that she didn't want to reveal her old scars, she finally gave up asking.
...
The next day, another morning at the Steel Cross.
The concentration of dark clouds in the sky was slightly reduced, and the pale light passed through the cracks of the clouds and fell on the deep water of the waterway, bringing a slight hint of light comfort.
On both sides of the riverside, the green wolf-tail grass in the thin mist was covered with snake-like mucus. The fertile black soil that was repainted from the mountains gave birth to an impenetrable sea of reeds.
The thirsty roar of the ghoul came from the sea of reeds, and the birds and beasts flew away, but the crossbowmen on both sides of the deck remained indifferent.
The meteor energy pool made by Chen Yaogang is already full. In this environment, the cost of hunting ghouls is too high and the benefits are too small. If the mutated refugees cannot threaten the steel cross, there is no need to attack them.
Perhaps it was getting closer to Fair London, the gloomy fog gradually swallowed the steel cross, and the atmosphere on the ship became a bit heavy and depressing.
Langdon half-jokingly said, "Hey, Miss Kayla keeps saying that we may see the dead of the past, so in this way, will we have a chance to see Sora's wife who has not yet become a siren?"
Chen Yaogang said speechlessly: "Those shadow monsters are formed by the remnant souls and resentment in the land. Their nature is no different from that of demons. When did your taste become so unique? Even demons want to trick them into your ship? Don't be stupid at this time, okay, you will die."
Kolido also agreed: "It is better for our barbarian girls in the north, they are strong, able to work and fight. Some empire women are too scheming, and I don't like them either."
Langdon smiled and said, "Since the elder brother can do it, then the brother can do it naturally. Anyway, we will definitely be able to kill Soragang. Wouldn't it be a matter of time before we can hold the beauty back?"
