"Under the king of sword fighting is the champion. If the king of sword fighting wants to win all battles, then the champion will win at least a thousand battles. As for the guard, the guard must have at least a hundred victories in order to have this title. Today, there are at least a thousand cuts on the heavy armor he just wore. That should be his record so far. " As soon as he finished, he saw the guard pick up the heavy armor on the ground and carve a deep mark on it with his steel sword.
Periner was speechless. He walked away with his head drooping. The man watched him leave with a winning smile on his face.
Periner has been here for a long time. He basically goes to work every day, doing chores, eating coarse bran bread with cold water or occasionally some wild vegetables. Sometimes I'm so greedy that I find some small animals or insects to eat when I'm working. Occasionally I can pick up some wild fruits. It can be said that he has an inexplicable yearning for freedom, and he still misses the hungry life in the slums.
It's not like now, although we eat bread and spit, and occasionally we have meat, but we don't have the freedom to live. We run in and out of this huge duel field every day. The arena of sirodel is famous in the whole mainland. It is half the size of the inner city of sirodel. It is divided into two parts: the ground part and the underground part. The ground part is the duel competition open to the public. The underground part is mainly about gambling and medicine. What's more famous is the underground black market controlled by sirodel. Duels disdain to do the flesh business, because the black market alone is a huge business.
The black market is mainly for the sale of magic gems and equipment, alchemy materials, some precious animals and plants, as well as individual trade union missions issued and assassinated. Every day, the business and people here are full. It can be said that in the underground black market of sirodil, you can buy everything you want, including the king's head, provided you have money. The circulation of goods here is generally paid by money, and some special magic minerals or gems are also used to pay.
Periner was lucky to find a magic gem. It is a red transparent stone. As for its effect and value, it must be appraised by the magic association to dispel corruption before it can be used. Periner has been placing this gem close to his body all the time, thinking that one day he will be able to go out, he must firm this gem, maybe he can turn over with this gem.
At the moment, periner is hanging on the external wall of the duel arena with a rope tied to his body to clean up the dust and some debris on the statues of the duel arena. Birds often nest here, and these statues are the symbols of the duel arena, which they attach great importance to. Periner took out several nests and put some eggs in his pocket to save for meat. Because he lost the bet yesterday, he had to do two jobs today. After cleaning the statue, he had to clean the duel ground later.
He didn't watch the performance all day yesterday, but judging from the corpses piled up everywhere on the field, the game behind yesterday should be very fierce. Basically, the bodies have been stripped by the previous group of people and left there. They need to deal with them. It's a hard and disgusting job, and there's no good in it. After all, there are only corpses. Valuable things need to be picked up. Occasionally, someone can pry gold teeth out of the corpse's mouth or pick up some personal accessories.
Most of the corpses are incomplete. They not only have to carry them, but sometimes they have to take a cloth bag to pick up pieces. As the name suggests, those scattered small limbs or organs will stink the next day when it's hot. Sometimes they will fall in the corner for a few days full of maggots, and they have to catch them. Periner wrapped a piece of linen in his hand and covered his face with a piece of triangular cloth. He picked up a piece on the ground.
In the middle of the collection, he suddenly saw a group of people in the next room gathering in the corner to share something. He pretended to be busy working and approached there. Then he saw a scene that made him sick.
The group of people next door were eating the pieces they had picked up. Several of them were full of blood, and periner, suppressing her fear and disgust, ran away. Until he came back to where he lived, he was still pale and retching.
Palinal sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the guy lying on the bed staring at the skyguard in a daze. Seeing the new pink granulation growing in the scar on his face, he thought of the meat dregs stirred in their mouths and the blood foam stained in the corners of their mouths. He felt the tightness of his chest, and the nausea surged into his heart. Wow, he vomited out. As soon as the man noticed that he looked at himself again, he suddenly vomited.
The man sat up and stared at periner, who was better after vomiting and raised his head to meet the other side's unhappy eyes.
"Oh, what's the matter, man? I didn't invite you to annoy you. Why do you look at me like this?" Perinal wiped his mouth, kicked off his shoes and was about to lie in bed. "That person is very long, how disgusting
Palinal took a look at him, puzzled the man, "no, I just remember some disgusting things. By the way, do you want to hear it?" The man swung his hands and lay down again.
Palinal sat up again, picking his feet, and said to himself. "Do you know, brother, that group of people from Dylan next door are picking up meat in the duel field, which really makes me sick. Damn, there are such animals in the world. They are more disgusting than mice. " The man remained indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.He thought about it and asked the man, "Oh, by the way, I don't know your name, brother! I want to call you every day, but I don't know how to call you. "
"Alecia!" The man replied coldly.
"Alecia, that's a strange name." Palinal turned his body to his side and said to him, "by the way, my name is palinal. It's my uncle's name. He used to be a hunter and used to be a cook in the army..." Pelinnar said in a garrulous way. Alexia was stunned when he heard his name, but all the rest was an expression.
"Said periner in a decreasing voice, and at the end he began to snore. Alicia lay on the cold stone bed, but he couldn't sleep. He put out the brazier, locked the door of the room, and took off his clothes. By the moonlight coming from the window, he turned out a cloth bag from his close clothes. In the cloth bag, there was a roll of cloth, which was unfolded with several silver needles. Alicia took out a needle, then looked at the sleeping periner, he found the right position, and then stabbed it down.
