1126、Guide
At this time, the people in the blacksmith shop had not yet dispersed.
Chen Cheng helped the blacksmith check his injuries, but found that Grees was fine, and there was only a red mark left when he was hit by Ren Xiaosu just now.
"Is it really okay?" Chen Cheng asked.
Grees nodded: "The other party's move is very accurate. I felt so angry that I couldn't get up, my chest tightness and coughing, but it was fine soon. Believe me, this requires very powerful physical control, and even the most powerful gladiator in Gent City may not be able to do this."
This blacksmith Grees used to be a gladiator in Gent City, and there are two types of gladiators in Gent City.
One is the servants and followers of the wizard family. The wizards themselves are unwilling to take risks to fight, so they let gladiators represent themselves in order to compete for glory for their respective families.
It sounds nice, but in fact it is just to provide wizards with more exciting gambling and entertainment activities.
The winning wizard will take away half of the bonus pool, and the other half of the bonus pool is the bargaining chips for the bettors.
This first type of gladiator enjoys the aura brought to them by wizards on weekdays. He fights for wizards at this time, but if he fails in the battle, he will be immediately abandoned by wizards.
The second type of gladiator is a person who is desperate and voluntarily becomes a gladiator. Maybe he loses money when gambling, or he is anxious when he needs money, anyway, he is voluntarily selling himself to a gladiator arena.
They will continue to fight with people there until they die.
Grees himself was a blacksmith. In order to raise money for his father to treat his illness, he became a gladiator. He was also one of the most famous gladiators in Gent at that time.
Later, he was rescued by the leader of the Bounty Hunter organization and arranged to protect a safe house in Vaduz Castle.
Grees is very grateful to the leader of the Bounty Hunter and also enjoys the comfortable life now.
But enjoying comfort does not mean that your combat ability is abandoned. In fact, Grees believes that if he returns to the arena now, he can still win every battle.
As a result, Grees, who was so confident, was beaten by Ren Xiaosu without any strength to fight back.
Grees said: "The other party easily disintegrated my confidence with my most confident fighting style."
Chen Cheng and An An looked at each other: "Is it because you were not wary of him suddenly taking action?"
"No," Grees said: "I'm sure that even if I'm prepared, he has the ability to remove my combat power in an instant."
As he said that, Grees wrote a few lines on a small note, then went to the pigeon cage in the backyard and tied it up. He said to An An: "You can't let the pigeon fly now. You have to wait until the pigeons near the cathedral will be released tomorrow morning. At that time, the pigeons will be mixed in so that they can avoid people's attention."
"Yeah," An An nodded.
Grees suddenly asked, "What's going on with this boy? Why did such a powerful master suddenly appear?"
An An whispered and said unconvinced: "What's so amazing? When the bandits came to attack the caravan, he was hiding behind the carriage with Mego and dared not move?"
"Is there such a thing?" Grees asked in confusion: "Depending on his skills, it should not be difficult to deal with bandits."
"Strength is one thing, courage is one thing," An An was very angry. She was just mentioned like a quail. It was so humiliating. She knew very well that what she was saying was an angry thing, but she just couldn't help but want to say something...
At this time, a voice came from outside the blacksmith shop: "Are you talking about me?"
"Ah!" An An turned around and saw Ren Xiaosu standing outside the door in shock: "Why are you back?"
It’s so embarrassing to be heard when people are talking badly about others!
Of course, Ren Xiaosu couldn't say that he was lost, so he explained with a smile: "I'm worried that you two bounty hunters will be captured by the Berkeley family, so I came back to escort you. Are you moved?"
An An complained: "If you believe in you, there will be a ghost. You are afraid that we will go and report it!"
"I'm really not afraid of this," Ren Xiaosu said: "Let's go, I'm still rushing to have a meal."
Chen Cheng and An An glanced at the sword that was placing on their necks, so they chose to swallow their anger...
Seeing that the two sides finally reached an agreement, Ren Xiaosu returned the two long swords to Grees.
On the way back, Chen Cheng, who was good at talking, suddenly asked: "What is Middle-earth like now? I heard that Middle-earth is still very weak."
"Weak?" Ren Xiaosu smiled: "So seventeen years ago, the weak Fortress 178 that you said defeated the army of the Wizard Kingdom?"
"Defeat?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Didn't it mean that the Royal Army won?"
Ren Xiaosu sneered: "Who said that?"
"The royal family announced it to the public, saying that it gave the 178 Fortress a bloody lesson, but this time the royal family was kind and did not create much killing," Chen Cheng replied.
"I really don't even want to have a face. I dare to make it up like this," said Ren Xiaosu.
The 178 Fortress has been at a disadvantage before, after all, the revival of the military industry has only happened in recent decades.
But once the military industry in Middle-earth is revived, it will definitely not be able to compete with wizards. Although the war 17 years ago was fierce, the 178 Fortress indeed won the war.
In order to maintain its reputation, the wizard organization and the royal family in the wizard kingdom chose to tamper with the result of the war and insisted that they won.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Chen Cheng and said, "The war 17 years ago was a victory for Middle-earth, and Middle-earth was much stronger than you thought. Not to mention military affairs, just talking about basic industry and urban infrastructure, it is already several streets ahead of the wizard's kingdom."
Chen Cheng longed for a longing: "My father also mentioned Middle Earth before, so it would be great if he had the opportunity to go and see it."
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "When I figure out what's going on with your organization, maybe you can join us to visit the northwest style of Fortress 178."
An An suddenly asked, "What is your identity in Middle Earth?"
Ren Xiaosu grinned and said, "Am I? I am just an ordinary Northwest Development Volunteer."
"All lies," An An muttered, "By the way, why did you suddenly turn back?"
Ren Xiaosu said seriously: "This Vaduz is an important southern town, and I am really worried that you two will have an accident."
An An doubted: "You don't know where the station is?"
"Hahahaha, how is that possible?" Ren Xiaosu laughed and said, "How could I make such a low-level mistake when I walk in the world?"
An An was sure that this guy was indeed turning back because he didn't know where the station was. He used her and Chen Cheng as tour guides!

Sorry, I only have these two chapters today. After slept for 3 hours in the morning, the neighbors upstairs started changing the windows of the whole house, and changed until 7 o'clock in the evening. I was now in a state of collapse and couldn't concentrate. Even today I used up my last chance to rest in May.
Chapter completed!
