The shape of the arena in the West seems to be inherited from the same origin. The huge prototype building looks similar to the arena left in Greece in reality.
It just looks more beautiful and spectacular.
The smooth marble columns are covered with reliefs of Poseidon. There are channels that bring the clear spring water, forming twelve small waterfalls.
Coupled with the embellishments of gold, gems, and crystals, it would be impossible to associate such an exquisite work of art with the cruel battle of blood and sand without mentioning it.
"Welcome, stranger from the East!"
Xu Tong and others rode a carriage and entered directly in front of the most luxurious box in the arena. As soon as they got off the carriage, Xu Tong saw twelve high priests representing the highest authority of Atlantis sitting on chairs and waiting.
Own.
The throne made of gold, the white cashmere carpet, the gorgeous robes on their bodies, and the exquisite scepters in their hands are both luxurious and solemn.
The more Xu Tong looked at them, the more he felt that these twelve high priests were quite similar to the twelve red-robed archbishops of the Holy See. The difference between the two might be that they believed in different gods, plus a pope.
This made Xu Tong feel more and more that maybe the predecessor of the Holy See was Atlantis, and the Genesis in his Ruyi Furnace was the best proof.
"This feeling! It's so unpleasant!"
Gao Zhuo said in the team channel that after all, facing twelve top powerhouses, second only to the power of three generations of gods, he felt unsure.
Fortunately, Xu Tong and Gu Xibai, two super masters, were by their side, and their powerful auras were not much weaker than those of the twelve high priests.
After both sides looked at each other, they were both a little surprised.
Just as Hagrid said, these two strangers from the east are extremely powerful.
Gu Xibai's aura was as immovable as a mountain, and the pressure of the twelve of them could not shake him at all.
Xu Tong on the other side was like an abyss. No matter how they used their mental power to test, they all came back in vain. It was as if this guy was a bottomless pit and they couldn't reach the bottom.
Xu Tong and Gu Xibai looked calm, but in the team channel they were discussing the strength of the twelve people in front of them one by one.
According to the ranking order of actions, it is obvious that Hagrid's strength can only be ranked at the bottom. From left to right, one is stronger than the other.
"If these twelve people join forces, we may have to run away."
Gu Xibai had to admit that Atlantis was not unreasonable as the source of Western mythology.
Even with his current strength, which is enough to shatter the starry sky and destroy all laws, if twelve people concentrated their efforts to attack him, Gu Xibai would have to stay away.
"More than that!"
Xu Tong's eyes finally locked on Augu. This was the second time the two met, but they only saw each other's true appearance at this moment. He looked like he was in his early fifties, but if Hagrid was right, this guy was already
Almost four hundred years old.
This guy has been sitting at the top for so long, and his strength may not be much worse than that of himself and Gu Xibai.
When it comes to taking action, it's easy to say one-on-one, but if other high priests are really added to assist, it's not easy to say.
The two sides looked at each other for a few minutes, and finally Ogu interrupted the quiet atmosphere.
"Welcome, distinguished guests from the East. We are honored by your arrival. Please take a seat."
Aogu warmly entertained Xu Tong and the others and took their seats at the viewing banquet.
At this moment, the auditorium was packed with people, and there were too many performances to attend.
Xu Tong was not very interested in this. Instead, he took out the hookah and started smoking slowly.
The clouds of smoke made the priests sitting around extremely disgusted, but they were helpless for a while.
"jingle……"
At this time, the collision of iron ropes was heard, and hundreds of tribal men were pushed to the bottom.
"According to the previous agreement, as long as you can win, you can take these prisoners of war."
"What if I lose?"
Xu Tong asked with squinted eyes.
"Simple, equal exchange. Whatever you think these prisoners of war are worth, you can just exchange them for something of equal value. In other words, as long as you think these prisoners of war are worthless, it doesn't matter. At least here, their lives are of no concern.
care."
Ogu's voice was so loud that everyone in the audience below could hear it clearly.
The arrogance revealed in his words attracted warm cheers from the audience.
Because of the arrival of Xu Tong and the others, people in Atlantis were always in panic during this period, especially last night, as they didn't know where the news came from.
It is spread among the crowd that these guys with yellow skin and black hair are uncivilized and ungrateful devils.
At this time, the expressions of Xu Tong and the others suddenly changed.
It is not impossible if he is determined to be shameless, but he cannot afford to embarrass this person. This is not only a devaluation of these compatriots, but also a devaluation of their ethnic group.
After all, they are members of the same race with the same skin color.
"Damn it, these are thieves. No wonder the hair-shedding gangs in the West like to engage in racial discrimination. Their emotions were not learned well from their ancestors."
Gao Zhuo cursed loudly in the team channel.
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was annoyed in his heart, there was no anger on his face.
His mind opened and closed, and he had an idea in a moment.
I saw Xu Tong put away the hookah pipe in his hand, stood up unhurriedly, bowed slightly to Aogu in front of him, and said seriously: "Your generosity is as warm as the sun in the sky."
Augu raised a smile on his lips, and the high priests sitting behind him had even weirder expressions, half-smiling but not smiling.
They seemed to feel that Xu Tong and others did not understand that Augu was mocking them.
However, Xu Tong's next words made all the smiles on the faces of Aogu and others freeze.
"However, the lives of my tribe and mine are equally important. There is a saying in the East that all living beings are equal. For this reason, I am willing to use the soul fragments of High Priest Hagrid as a bet!"
As Xu Tong spoke, he even took out the fragments of Hagrid's soul and placed them in his palm. The fragmented soul produced a vague outline of Hagrid in his palm, which proved that it was Hagrid's soul.
Now Ogu and others were all dumbfounded.
The original plan of Aogu and others was just to take the opportunity to mock Xu Tong and others, and at the same time arouse the opponent's competitive mentality. By adding layers of pressure, they gradually let Xu Tong get the pieces of Hagrid's soul.
come out.
But they didn't expect that Xu Tong would go straight to the stud.
Fortunately, there is no landlord fighting in this era, otherwise I am afraid that Ogu will shout, do you know how to play cards? If you get a 3, you will lose the king??
This time it was Ogu and the others' turn to look ugly.
Xu Tong's doing this is good news for them.
A group of insignificant prisoners of war, rubbish with no research value, in exchange for Hagrid's soul. It seems that this transaction is a bloody profit for Atlantis.
But the same question was thrown back by Xu Tong at this moment. Can they afford to throw this person away?
Even if Hagrid loses his face, do they also have to lose the face of being the Twelve High Priests?
This is not only a huge blow to the ruler's prestige, but also a humiliation to Poseidon.
As the saying goes, if some things are not weighed, they will weigh less than two kilograms, but if they are weighed, they will weigh a thousand kilograms.
Xu Tong's voice could be heard clearly by the audience below. He was even afraid that they wouldn't see it. He raised his palms high and almost walked down to let everyone see clearly. The soul fragment in his hand was exactly the same.
It is the soul of the Twelve High Priest Hagrid.
Being held in someone's hands like this and used as a bargaining chip is like throwing Hagrid into the crowd and parading him on the street.
For a moment, the veins on Hagrid's face bulged and stretched.
This is to completely rub Poseidon's face on the ground.
Xu Tong looked at Hagrid with a smile, the bright smile on his face, as innocent as an ignorant child.
But no matter how you look at it, it makes you feel hateful.
“His Highness Hagrid’s soul fragment is fake, right??”
"That is, how could the souls of the twelve high priests be in the hands of these evil guys?"
"It's hard to say. After all, they were brought by His Highness Hagrid. If the soul fragments are real, then everything will be explained."
"Oh, what are soul fragments??"
The people in the audience below are about to explode. Most people don't know what soul fragments are.
But they all know that this thing seems to be very important to His Highness Hagrid and to Poseidon Temple.
Linking such an important thing to these prisoners of war, no, slaves, is simply an insult to Poseidon.
Even though it was the city of Aogu, it finally couldn't hold back at this moment. It stood up with a cold face and glared at Xu Tong.
"Huh? What's the problem?"
When Xu Tong saw Aogu's eyebrows were ferocious and his eyes were cold, he looked confused.
Now Ogu opened his mouth, and finally swallowed back all his anger.
They were all the conditions he proposed. Xu Tong just acted according to his conditions. No matter what, Augu couldn't find any fault.
Moreover, when Xu Tong opened his mouth, he first praised him, but he said his words clearly and grandly. No matter how angry Augu was, he couldn't break his face at this time.
So he could only sit down again, and after trying to calm down the anger in his heart, he said softly: "The high priest of Atlantis is supreme. Even if this is just a ray of his spiritual thoughts, it is precious beyond all living beings."
Augu couldn't refuse Xu Tong, but he didn't agree to it stupidly. It was just to avoid taking a detour, which was not necessarily a bad thing.
Moreover, his goal was not Hagrid's soul, so he reacted quickly, emphatically stating the high priest's status, and then casually turned something as important as the soul fragment into a ray of spiritual thought.
Anyway, the people of Atlantis are not very familiar with things like soul fragments, and only a small number of nobles know about them.
On the contrary, it is a spiritual thought, something that people can quickly accept.
With this ability to dodge the important and change the concept secretly, Xu Tong said in his heart that if this guy doesn't practice Tai Chi, it will be a loss.
"In view of Atlantis's principle of justice and respect for Poseidon, I cannot let the guests who come from afar suffer a loss, so I decided to add another bet. Only this thing can be used as a bet to reflect Hagrid's greatness.
This ray of spiritual thought from the priest is precious."
Then Ogu signaled someone to take out the box that had been prepared early. The box was opened, and a dazzling blue light bloomed inside...
