The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 52 The Curse



This is not unrelated to the barren land led by the Manyu army. It is in a state of drought for most of the year, and the Gobi desert is severe. There is neither the fertile land of the Asia Minor plain occupied by the Lancelot royal family nor the Kingsley family. The rich and diverse mineral resources in the territory can only find another shortcut and focus on human trafficking.

In this regard, the Man Yu army leader has a unique geographical advantage. To the north is the Odin Grassland separated by a mountain, and to the east is the Andes Mountains. Both the Odin Orcs and the Andes Mountain People are of the highest quality. Slaves, compared to the Odin orcs who can only be trained as gladiators and miners, Andis mountain people are more popular.

Whether it is farming, mining, or handicrafts, they are all capable. They are excellent in physique, and it is also a good choice to train them into gladiators. Although they are not as brutal and bloody as the Odin orcs in the arena, they ignite the atmosphere, but their agility and intelligence It is also something that the other party cannot possess.

The Andes mountain people either produce excellent gladiators, and once they do, the possibility of reaching the top is often very high, which is recognized in the gladiator industry.

In the past 30 years, Solo City has embarked on a fast track of development. Among them, the supreme ruler of the contemporary Manyu army, the Duke of Faerun, Bog Slav? Faerun, has a great talent and strategy. The support of the industry plays the most critical role.

Before the Duke of Borg ascended the throne, the gladiatorial industry was only a reserved industry of Man Yu's army. It had a certain scale, but it was not popular.

After he came to power, he strongly encouraged the style of gladiatorial fighting, and spent a huge amount of money and ten years to build the largest arena on the Arshan continent, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 people to watch the gladiatorial fights together.

And the world-famous first gladiatorial competition was held here, with rewards as high as 100,000 Byron gold coins, and the highest honor of the king of gladiators.

Many successful and famous champion knights were moved, and several of them participated in the name of free gladiators without hesitation. This was an unheard of thing, and it completely detonated this gladiatorial competition.

Countless lords and aristocrats traveled thousands of miles to Solo City to witness the prosperous times, creating a precedent for special industries to drive tourism.

Since then, the gladiatorial competition held every three years has become the biggest event in Sauron City. At that time, the adventurous and bloody lords and nobles of the entire Byron Alliance will gather here to participate in the grand event.

In this matter, too, Bastille played an important role.

Comparing the Man Yu army leader to a giant, there is no doubt that Solo City is the heart of this giant, and Bastille is one of the giant's main arteries, continuously transporting fat here.

Now that the main artery has been cut off, the news brought by Kleist the Fox even alarmed Duke Borg, the supreme ruler of the Manyu army.

Kleist's abandonment of the city does not mean that he is cowardly, but that he is more resigned to his life and has made the most self-interested choice. In fact, when it comes to his own interests, he has always been very courageous.

After abandoning the city and fleeing, Kleist did not run away in a hurry, but turned around outside the city, turned back to Bastille, and squatted around for three days.

It was not until the fourth day that he adjusted his formal attire and set foot on the road to lead the capital Solo City. After observing the enemies in the Bastille for three days, he could be 100% sure that the old Bolton had no chance of turning over. Not a magnitude opponent at all.

With this kind of inference, Kleist transformed himself, no longer a defender who abandoned the city and fled, but a lobbyist asking for help. Once he entered the city, he became a guest of the Duke's Mansion.

As for the old Bolton's sons in Solo City, he hadn't seen them. They were just a bunch of idiots. Without Old Bolton, they were nothing.

According to the domineering nature that the Duke of Borg has shown in recent years, even if the Bastille is recaptured, it can only be in the hands of the Faerun family, and there is absolutely no possibility of handing it over to outsiders.

Borg's stature is very large, especially after middle age, after he no longer charged forward like he did when he was young, even if he maintains a certain amount of swordsmanship practice every day, there is still no way to prevent the horizontal development of his body.

Sitting high and high on the throne, he is like a mountain of meat. This has become an inevitable pattern of the Faerun family. His father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather...

Anyone with a lifespan of over forty years old will look like this, and it is directly proportional to the lifespan. The longer they live, the bigger their body size. Borg's body size has already ranked among the top three in the historical records of the Faerun family.

Surpassing his great-great-grandfather and becoming the number one in the Phelan family has always been one of Borg's biggest pursuits in his life, no matter in terms of size or achievements.

If you think that Borg is ugly, you are very wrong. Even though his body has been transformed into this shape, his appearance is still upright. Whether it is beard or hair, he is meticulously groomed, and he looks like a king.

When he was young, he was one of the most beautiful men in the Man Yu army. Those noble ladies and girls fell in love with Huaichun, and spent a romantic night with him as the biggest topic of conversation.

Someone once joked that Borg's greatest achievement was not to completely solve the disaster of the mountain people led by Man Yu's army, but to have illegitimate children all over the continent. If there were direct female members of the Lancelot royal family in the previous generation, maybe Borg could rely on With his own appearance, he completed the true unification of the Byron Alliance.

After a long period of contemplation, Borg remembered that there were still people waiting for his reply, and he knew it with one sentence, and sent Kleist away.

This made the fox, who was full of words, go mad with depression. If he didn't even have a chance to speak, how could he use this incident as a promotion ladder to become a distinguished guest of the Duke's mansion, and then become a bachelor of the Man Yu army leader? ?

Could it be that he is one step too late, Duke Borg has already got the latest news from Bastille? Or has the old fox lost interest in Bastille?

The creepy fox Kleist's guesses, which were swayed by gains and losses, were vetoed by him one by one. During the three days when he stayed in the Bastille, many Bastille soldiers did escape, but they were all big soldiers. With no knowledge, it is a problem whether he can find the leader in any direction, let alone go to Solo City to report the reward in the first place.

What's more, many mountain hunters chased them out from the Bastille. He encountered several groups on the way to lead the capital, and there were not a few Bastille soldiers lying dead on the side of the road. Even if the news he brought was not first-hand Yes, but definitely the most comprehensive.

As for Borg losing interest in Bastille, it is even more impossible. If Solo City wants to maintain its current prosperity, the continuous transportation of mountain slaves from Bastille is an indispensable item. Once the supply of goods is cut off, The slave industry in Solo City will be severely impacted.

The wrestling industry has little impact in a short period of time, but it will definitely be affected in the long run, not to mention that Bastille is also a well-known cash cow. Unless Borg completely becomes an old fool, he will never give up here.

Sir Kleist, Sir Kleist, please stay. A young waiter quickly chased after him.

Did Duke Borg suddenly figured it out? Kleist the Fox was refreshed, but his face was perfectly reserved, You are?

The young waiter performed an impeccable etiquette, showing the demeanor of the Duke's mansion without a doubt, and said with a smile: I am just an ordinary waiter in the Duke's mansion, and my name is not worth remembering by Sir, I am just inviting Lord Sir on behalf of my master. Moving to the side hall, my master has heard about Lord Jazz for a long time, and I believe we can have many common topics.

Who is your master?

Lord Baron Patlem.

Please thank Your Excellency the Baron for your invitation. It's just that I have important business to do now and I can't spare myself. I will definitely come to visit in person later, and I hope that Your Excellency the Baron will not reject me.

Kleist the Fox showed a perfect and impeccable smile, not to mention being the second in line heir of the Phelan family, even if it was the invitation from the first in line Philip, he would immediately reject it.

This kind of family strife is not something that he, a newcomer with little arms and legs, can participate in. What's more, Duke Borg has a ruddy complexion and a long breath. Except for his overweight body, there is nothing wrong with him. There is no problem in living for ten or eight years. Hold on tight This thick thigh is the most important thing at the moment, because a small loss makes a big difference, a wise man will not do it.

After finishing speaking, Kleist the Fox didn't give the young waiter a chance to speak again, and left the Duke's mansion quickly, with a speed that even many regular knights couldn't match.

When the young waiter brought the news back, the gloomy young man who was 50 to 60% similar to Bartley was so angry that he smashed his beloved coffee cup to pieces on the spot.

What is he? How dare he refuse my master's invitation. Believe it or not, I will prevent him from seeing the sun tomorrow!

Master, calm down. The young waiter was obviously not like an ordinary waiter as he humbled himself, at least not in front of Baron Patlem, the second heir of the Faerun family, It is precisely because of this that this person is worthy Master, put in some effort to make friends.

how to say?

If the other party follows recklessly, it means that the other party is just a countryman with no political vision. Apart from the news he brings, he has no use for himself.

The young waiter was talking more like a wise man who had read the classics than a servant who could not read a single word.

Judging from the other party's reaction, he knows the name of the master and the meaning behind it. He is afraid of being involved in the affairs of the Duke's family, which will affect his career. This is the performance of a smart person.

You mean, master, I'm a big trouble? Patlem was a little annoyed, and glared at the young waiter viciously, as if if you don't give me a perfect explanation, I want you to look good.

The young waiter spread his hands and said: The battle for the heir of a military leader, let alone ordinary people, is a big trouble, even for those nobles and nobles, it is a big trouble, especially the master is still the second in line. It is perfectly normal for a brother who is as dazzling as the morning sun to not be favored by others.

Even you said that. Patlem slumped on the chair like a deflated ball, waving his hands and said, In this case, let's not argue, pack up, and go back to that deserted place tomorrow, only a few The territory of the wild people.
