The Origin of Arcane

An old man with gray hair and holding a civilized stick appeared on the rostrum on the second floor, coughed heavily, and said in a spirited voice after he had attracted enough attention.

The uninformed behavior of the medical center has seriously violated our rights and interests, and has had an extremely bad impact on our gladiatorial career. According to the reactions of those who were placed among the gladiator slaves, many gladiators have already become war-weary. Some people even want to intentionally get injured in the arena, with the help of the medical clinic, to leave the wrestling industry.

All the slave owners who hang out in Solo City basically know this old man. This old man named Bill, not to mention among them, even if he is placed in the leader of the Man Yu army, or placed in the entire Arshan Continent Countless great slave owners.

There are dozens of gladiator training camps under his control, thousands of gladiators at the highest peak, and an army of nearly a hundred people, fully armed by knight-level gladiators. Although they are not of noble origin, but Many minor nobles would give him three points of courtesy when they saw him, and he could be called the godfather of the gladiator industry.

However, what he talked about the most was the gladiator Dick Long who had the reputation of Scarlet Storm in his hands. He was a champion knight-level gladiator with the same reputation as Starbuck, and he was the two favorites to win the championship this year.

Unlike Starbuck, who is a free gladiator, Dixon is an out-and-out slave gladiator. He was sold to the arena since he was a child. Before becoming famous, the blood of the Sri Lankan people had an insulting title like a bastard, but with the rise of fame, this title was gradually forgotten.

The arena where Di Kelong first sold himself was not under Bill's name, but Bill's discerning eye. When he was just emerging, he exchanged him with a knight-level gladiator at a price that seemed to be losing money, and then poured all his money into it. Resources cultivated him, and just now he shined brilliantly in the arena and achieved the prestige of Scarlet Storm.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he was trained by Bill alone.

And this matter is also something that Bill is proud of in his life. He has visited the entire Arshan continent, and there are not many big slave owners who have this honor.

The guard behind him, wearing a sealed horn helmet and simple leather armor, exposing most of his rock-like muscles, is Bill's greatest pride in this life, Scarlet Storm Dixon.

Before Dixon became a champion knight, Bill had already given him his freedom, recognized him as his adopted son, and crowned him with his surname, and Dixon used his loyalty in return, not only becoming Bill's leader The horned gladiator also became his bodyguard.

Of course, there is an element of showing off in it. Using a champion knight as a personal bodyguard is an honor that many hereditary earls have never had.

Bill's words caused the slave owners below, big and small, to explode, and there was another burst of whispering.

Is there such a thing?

What Lord Bill said makes sense. Even if there is no such thing now, it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. Don't underestimate the cunning of those lowly slaves. Some cowards will do anything in order not to go to the arena.

No wonder I always feel that the atmosphere of the recent gladiatorial fights is a bit abnormal. When I think about it carefully, the problem should be here. Take the gladiatorial match the day before yesterday as an example. It was originally a show fight, and there was no need for casualties. That gladiator slammed into the sword as if he wanted to die, probably because he wanted to escape from the gladiatorial competition through the self-mutilation method Lord Bill said, but he didn't master his strength, and the self-mutilation turned into suicide.

It's terrible, it's really terrible. I thought that the so-called medical center was just a minor injury, but I didn't expect it to be a serious problem. Such a terrible seed has been planted in our industry. No, in order to protect our industry, we Something has to be done, something has to be done!

I heard that the medical center has been relocated not long ago, and it is now called Angel Bernardo Hospital, and it has taken refuge in the name of the Witches' Secret Society!

It's too cunning, no matter whose property he becomes, he can't infringe on the interests of others! Even His Majesty the King doesn't have this right!

What's the use of being angry again? Could it be that you can go to the Witch Secret Society to reason? Are you not afraid of being witchcraft?

Even if the Witches' Secret Council cannot be unreasonable, it's really not possible. Let's go to the Duke together. He won't just sit back and watch our Man Yu's wrestling industry collapse like this! Our tax burden is not less every year!

The matter is not as serious as it is said! Even if there is, this kind of thing is an exception!

You mean to say that Master Bill is here to deceive the public?

That's not what I meant! I'm just saying the situation isn't as bad as we thought!

This kind of potential danger is the most terrifying. Once those lowly slaves have other ideas, the entire arena will be difficult to manage, and it will be too late to say anything!

Preventing problems before they happen is the most important thing!

Master Bill, we will do what you say to do, and we will listen to you!

Master Bill, tell me what you think!

Bill naturally had his own supporters, and the echoing voices suppressed those weak doubts. If he wanted to hang out in this circle, he would not want to offend Bill ruthlessly.

Otherwise, if you are targeted by retaliation, it won't take long for the gladiators in your hands to fight. After doing this several times in a row, no matter how rich your net worth is, you will have to become a pauper.

There is a famous saying of Man Yu Junling - half of the outcome of a wrestling is on the field, and the other half is on the field, life and death are even more so.

Bill deliberately paused for a while, and waited for them to digest the news before proceeding step by step.

We will never allow such things to spread. A few of us with a little seniority have just reached a consensus. If we want to eliminate the impact of this matter, we don't need to ask anyone at all. It is enough for us to unite ourselves.

Master Bill, let's hear it, what's your opinion?

It's very simple, that is, regardless of whether those gladiators were really injured or deliberately took the opportunity to escape, we will end up with executions for all serious injuries. This will not only make an example, stop those people from thinking that they shouldn't have, but also ignite the atmosphere , bring more income, of course, as compensation, those masters whose gladiators were executed will get 20% of the income from the game as compensation, what do you think?

Twenty percent, isn't it a little less?

Be content, this is an extra 20%, and the other money is quite a lot. If you are sent to the medical center and revived, not only will you not get a penny, but you will have to use the money to redeem it. Very good deal.

This method is good. It can not only guarantee the income, but also attack the opponent. I support it.

I agree.

I agree too.

The person who came up with this idea has a good grasp of human nature, at least the character of these slave owners, big and small. one slice.

Some of the conscientious slave owners felt that doing so was problematic and would further intensify the conflict between the slave owners and the gladiators. Under such circumstances, their voices were weak and single, and they could not change anything at all.

There is no secrecy at all in this semi-public decision-making. After only an hour, Sean and Angel Bena got the news. He is a member of the slave owners, and he belongs to Angel Bena.

After hearing the news, Sean was stunned for a few minutes. Originally, he thought he knew enough about this cruel world, but the cruel truth told him.

What he has touched is only a little superficial. In this world of cannibalism, human nature is far darker than imagined. Those slave owners holding high wine and tasting delicious food, just like this, lightly decide countless people. life and death.

In his previous life, Sean had watched movies and TV shows about gladiators in ancient Rome. They all want to join it as a free man and experience the feeling of cheering as a gladiator.

But after treating gladiators during this period of time, and interacting with them, I found that this was far from the case. The film and television dramas in my previous life claimed to expose the cruel reality, but in fact they still beautified this profession.

This profession in the real world reveals a kind of cruelty that distorts human nature from the inside to the outside, and some of them are only full of blood.

Since then, Sean has no affection or yearning for this career, and just wants to do something within his ability.

The cruel decision of these slave owners pushed this bloodshed to an extreme.

Do they know that they are also living beings, raised by their fathers and mothers, not just unconscious ants that are trampled to death at will.

Why do they do that?

What right do they have to do that?

Why would they do that?

Just for those poor people he pulled out from the dead, those poor people with arms and legs? The crap that was already useless to them?

How cold and hard are those people's hearts? He didn't even leave such a way to survive!

Anger was like boiling magma churning in Xiao En's chest, ready to burst out.

This is the second time in the past two years that he has felt this fiery emotion.

The last time his village was breached by slave hunters and he saw the corpses of the village people, but at that time, he knew who his enemy was, as long as he followed the trail, he would sooner or later make them pay in blood.

But this time, he couldn't find anyone to hate, those slave owners?

I'm afraid it's not all, because even if all the slave owners are killed, it won't take long for another slave owner to emerge. As long as the chain of interests is not broken, those who are driven by interests will follow suit. .

The real root is this distorted system, and only by overthrowing it completely can the tragic fate of this group of people be changed.

But this is by no means something that Sean can do alone, even with the current Eternal Night Army.

Because they want to overthrow this system, what they need to face is definitely not the aristocratic class of the Manyu Army headed by Duke Borg, but the vested interests and those who are about to benefit from the entire Manyu Army.

This twisted system has been deeply rooted in people, including those slave gladiators.

Many slave gladiators who escaped from the arena did not leave the industry, but turned into slave owners, enslaving other people to participate in the gladiatorial fights and gain wealth. This is the scariest thing.

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped Xiao En. The reason is that he is still too weak, and the Eternal Night Army is too weak.

A cold little hand held Sean's burning big hand, and looking back, it was Angel Bena's delicate little face.

Compared to Sean who was burning with anger, Angel Bella looked very calm, terrifyingly calm.

Did I do something wrong? Sean asked hoarsely.

This change made him question what he had done before, which was to open a medical clinic and cooperate with the corpse collector to treat those gladiators.

It also refers to confronting Wendy because of my own displeasure, which led to this series of things.

It's not us who are wrong, but the world.

Angel Bella replied like this, and she didn't know if she really knew what Sean asked, or if she was just comforting.

That's right, it's this world that's wrong!

Sean's loss lasted only a few minutes, and strong will and reason pulled him out of this self-doubt caused by guilt.

Although there are some problems in the means of what they do, it is not a problem in essence. If the lives of living people become a problem, there will be problems in this world itself.

The problem was already there, but their existence and actions intensified this contradiction and made everything more acute.

Could it be that if they didn't do this, those slave owners would become so tender?

There is no doubt that gladiatorial combat itself distorts human nature.

What do we do now? Sean asked.

The ruler is long and the inch is short. In this field, Angel Bena is obviously better than Sean. This is her home field, and the resources and strength at her disposal are not comparable to Sean. What those gladiators do is up to her.

We don't have to do anything.

There was a trace of coldness under Angelbena's calm face.

If they go on like this, sooner or later they will cause a big mess. They think that those gladiator slaves will endure without limit.

Do nothing? That's not okay!

Sean shook his head again and again, although he knew that what Angelbena said was somewhat reasonable, everything has a limit, once this limit is exceeded, it will inevitably cause a violent backlash.

Isn't there a saying not to deceive others too much?

Those slave owners just made a decision that was obviously deceiving too much.

An outsider like Xiao En feels angry, but how do the gladiators who are in it feel?

This is real and directly related to their life and death!

Are they really so willing to accept their fate?

The answer is probably no.

There are rebels in any unfair system, not to mention this completely distorted system, especially when the general environment is freeing slaves, but you, the military leader, are still popular, and this kind of resistance will naturally intensify.
