Xia Duo casually took out the invitation, and then he noticed that the invitation, which had been rubbed hard by the gatekeeper and became wrinkled, had now returned to its smooth shape.
It turns out I was mistaken!
Xia Duo complained in his heart. When he first got the invitation, he noticed that there was a faint magical light on it, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Looking at it now, it's a bit of a slap in the face.
Xia Duo was interested in studying this rather strange flexible paper invitation made of memory metal. He had already thought of many uses for this material.
But at this moment, the dwarf on the opposite side has already extended his hand, so he can only wait for another opportunity later.
After Xia Duo handed over the invitation, the dwarf actually covered the invitation with a shimmering hand. After checking it, he said to Xia Duo:
"Guest, please follow me, I will take you to the stands."
"Um."
Sha Duo nodded and followed the other person into another passage. During the march, the dwarf mage was still introducing to Sha Duo——
"What is going on now is the ultimate challenge of Oscar, the warrior of the Stone Ax clan. The opponent is a demon. The guests came a little late and have missed the most exciting part of the battle. The battle is probably over now."
"Devil? You actually brought the demon to the arena for display?"
Xia Duo immediately frowned. Even if the demon was controlled, it would still radiate the devil's aura that was difficult to distinguish. If the aura leaked and infected bodies were released outside, the abyss might fall.
It is somewhat irresponsible to do this in the arena. The Underdark has already been ravaged by demons once, and the remaining poison is still unclear. Now the demons have been brought to the surface. Is it possible that——
It was difficult for Xia Duo not to make conspiratorial conjectures such as "beggar your neighbor" or "share the same responsibility for trouble". This matter was really too sensitive, and he had to speculate on others with the greatest malice.
Only demons that have been completely purified are good demons. All other behaviors that delay purification are the common enemies of all intelligent creatures.
Regarding Xia Duo's question, the dwarf mage in front seemed a little unhappy, but his service attitude was still sincere, "The guest misunderstood. The opponent for the final challenge was chosen by Oscar himself, and he also brought the demon. Our arena is just providing
A place of fighting.
"In addition, please rest assured that the Stone Ax family has obtained the consent of King Pasteur and is sure that there will be no negative impact before bringing the demon to the surface."
It was okay that the dwarf mage didn't explain, but once he explained, Shado's suspicion became more serious. If this matter was just a private act in the gladiatorial arena, it might not be that serious, but if it can get the consent of King Pasteur, then the problem would be serious.
Maybe the dwarves didn't pay too much attention, thinking that since all the demons in the Underdark could be defeated, it would be okay to just send one to a duel, but Shado, who had communicated with the Archangel Ted in the outer plane not long ago, knew that——
The devil's aura is not only infected through contact, but there is a risk of infection even if you just look at it!
Not to mention that in an environment like a gladiatorial arena where emotions are high and people are easily infected by the outside world, watching demons fight and being infected by the demonic aura is almost inevitable.
It's just that being infected does not necessarily lead to becoming an infected body, but it does have many negative effects, and if you look at it too much, it is not necessarily true. It may even be able to create a completely demonized dwarf demon.
When he thought of Danzo's official attitude of letting down his guard against demons, Shado suddenly had a bad feeling. He was afraid that the situation in the Underdark would be even worse.
Of course, it is also possible that the dwarves knew it themselves, but it would be even more terrifying if they deliberately pretended not to know in order to "share the same difficulties" with the surface.
Thinking of this, Sha Duo no longer had the time to ask the dwarf mage what the next battle would be.
Gu Jue
…
They were silent all the way, and soon reached the end of the passage. After passing a spiral staircase, Xia Duo appeared in the stands of the arena.
Although they are all open-air stands, the location here is obviously more "high-end". There are hollow stone pillars on both sides to block the view. Directly opposite, because the arena is not open to the public at this time, there is actually no one there.
Of course, there were the same or even more advanced stands on both sides, but apart from the sound, nothing else could be sensed. Xia Duo noticed that the stone pillars on both sides were carved with fine and regular runes, and there was a faint magical aura coming out.
It should be the effect of dwarf magic which is very rare in ordinary times.
The stand where Chateau is located has a total of three seats, arranged in a triangle, one is at the back but higher, and the two seats are parallel and slightly lower than the one at the back.
The dwarf mage briefly introduced the facilities on the stand, and demonstrated how to control the stone ball next to the chair to transport a bottle of wine up, and said to Sha Duo:
"This is the Ice Fire Wine from the Dark Territory. It is a greeting gift given to every invited guest in the arena. Guests can do whatever they want with it."
The dwarf mage did not touch the bottle of wine, but walked to the hollow stone pillar aside and finally said:
"If the guest needs anything, he can touch the stone ball next to the chair to give instructions. I can hear you at any time, so I won't disturb you here."
After saying that, he bumped his body into the stone pillar and disappeared.
…
After the dwarf mage left, Sha Duo relaxed a little. He noticed that the dwarf mage responsible for "scrubbing" in the center of the arena had begun to leave. Perhaps the next duel was about to begin.
But, what about the people in the Seven Towers?
It seems that the Seven Towers did not mention that they would send anyone here, and Hildalanna, she should have chosen this place, but she did not arrive first, which made Sha Duo a little dissatisfied.
Turning around, he saw three stone chairs behind him, two low and one high. He walked straight to the taller one at the back and sat down.
After sitting down, the host had already begun to introduce the gladiators who were going to appear next. Xia Duo thought about it and put his hand on the stone ball next to the chair.
However, he did not give any orders. Instead, he sensed the open magic strings of this dwarf magic facility, compared it with the operation method introduced by the mage receptionist before, and fiddled with it twice at will.
Then, the stone chair on which Chateau sat began to descend. At the same time, the two chairs in front began to separate to both sides. Eventually, Chateau's chair moved to the front, becoming three in a row.
At this time, the host has not finished introducing the "great achievements" of the gladiator who is about to appear on the stage——
"Going deep into the ice field, hunting white dragons, fighting frost giants, he is——"
It's a pity that the audience in the arena now only has invited "members", rather than the larger number of ordinary spectators who add to the atmosphere. Although there are several cheering groups suspected of being relatives and friends, it is obviously much worse than the previous ultimate challenge.
However, Xia Duo still knew the name of the gladiator who was going to appear next before the host introduced him——%#￥@*#
Xia Duo can't understand Dwarven language, but the host will explain it again in Elvish language——
Quentin, the warrior of the Ugarte (Stone Eye) clan!
Later, I don’t know if I was notified at short notice that there were human guests present, and they were introduced again in stammering Nese language, and then the warriors came on stage——
