Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This chapter is a little short, please bear with me. I have to revise my thesis in the past few days. I have started to install electrical appliances and move furniture in the rented house. It will be almost completed in ten days. I will be able to write there with peace of mind. After graduation, I will be full-time.  Of course there will be no less, but everything is based on quality.

    When I re-read these chapters, I always feel that they are not very good. I have to correct some typos when I have time. The plot will not be changed again. It is just because I am busy with the paper that some places are not satisfactory. I hope this book will leave no regrets. I hope you will  I understand that I have been in a bad state recently.

    There are 6,000 updates today. There may be one update tomorrow and two updates the day after tomorrow. Thank you for your support

    Della looked at her father who knew his identity but still remained vigilant, sighed slightly, and finally reached out and took out two badges with simple texture and placed them in front of the Byzantine Duke.

    A brass-colored triangular badge, but one corner is missing, and the pin has some rust.

    A whole body is like a ruby, a complete regular icosahedron, with twelve vertices and thirty edges that are completely symmetrical, without any deviation.

    Duke Windsor's expression changed slightly after seeing these two badges - he knew very well what era this kind of thing existed in and what institution it belonged to.

    The ancient Sika Empire, the predecessor of Byzantium, included the current Holy Gabriel Empire and the entire Byzantine and even wider areas. The earliest religions mainly worshiped gods, and the mastery of magic elements was called an important step for humans to move towards gods¡ª¡ª  Although this step is unusually high, it gives hope to mortals, so institutions that study magic have sprung up across the continent. The most famous among them is the Royal Academy of Magic of the Ancient Sika Empire, known as the "Ladder to Heaven."  The red icosahedron badge is proof of being a member of the "Ladder". The badges are all regular polyhedrons, and the more complex they are, the higher the level and status. The icosahedron is the limit, which is enough to prove how terrifying Della's identity is.

    The other emblem is more familiar - the "Golden Compass" parliamentary emblem from five terms ago.

    As the Supreme Council of Magicians, there will be a re-election ceremony every hundred years to replace some members, and now this emblem has nothing to explain, it directly proves the identity of Della in front of me.

    "Please forgive me for being rude."

    The Duke sighed inwardly, finally understanding that Morpheus had a terrifying mentor.

    But just when the Duke was about to say something, the old butler Paffa brought him another incredible news - Aquinas, the sixth giant of the former Inquisition, came to visit in person!

    ¡­¡­

    Holy Gabriel Empire, Hera City.

    Jungle life taught Morpheus how to survive on his own when faced with a strange environment, but it did not teach him how to break into a dragon's lair and steal the dragon eggs safely.

    Ashkandi was imprisoned by the Heresy Tribunal. Morpheus understood that there are two biggest enemies now, one is the Heretic Tribunal, and the other is time - figure out Ashkandi's situation in the shortest time, and in the shortest time  Time to become stronger, go rescue her!

    It sounds like a fantasy, but there is no other way - because the death of Ashcandi probably means the death of Morpheus.

    Morpheus counted the silver coins on his body. After eating black bread for several days in a row, he gradually understood some of the "laws" of the city where he lived - the influence of religion here was not generally great, but it made Murphy even more  What Si found strange was that the territory here seemed to be rarely restricted by the emperor - all the rules were established by the lords, and there were no laws that were unified by the country. The protection of the nobles was stronger than that of Byzantium, even if the nobles were  Even if you kill a lot of people, you can go back and live a happy life with the ransom, but civilians have to bear all kinds of taxes and military service.

    Yes, military service is compulsory in Hera.

    After understanding these rules, Morpheus understood that he should proceed with caution. In the past few days, he had seen many young people being taken away by the so-called "Inspection Team" to serve. It seemed that the new round of large-scale recruitment was because of Ash  The Candy incident is unfolding. Although the army can guarantee food, Morpheus is not interested in serving as a pawn in a hostile country as the heir of the Windsor family.

    In fact, in terms of making money, burning, killing and looting is the fastest, but it also brings endless troubles. Although Morpheus has never learned how to fight against such a terrifying department as the Inquisition, he has also learned how to win from Don Quixote.  A war.

    Patience, this is the first, secondly, you must have an eagle's vision, that is, a strategic view that looks at the situation and trends, then you must have strength, including all kinds of soldiers, and finally logistics, to ensure that you will not fall.  The most basic economic question?.

    When Morpheus heard this in the past, he always felt that it was an extremely distant thing, but he never imagined that when he was about to turn sixteen, he would fight a "huge" war against the state machine alone.

    No matter how ridiculous this is, he has no way out.

    He is racing against time and death.

    On the evening of the fourth day in Hera, Morpheus, who was exploring the last area of ??Hera City, seemed to have finally found a way to obtain gold coins as soon as possible.

    Standing at the entrance of a slightly dirty street, a huge wooden sign suddenly appeared in the field of vision. It said "Iron Fist Arena" on the top and "No entry unless required."

    The so-called arena is not the kind of public place in Byzantium that is tall enough to seat tens of thousands of people. Instead, it is a deep alley that leads underground and is heavily guarded.

    Not far away, there is a clean place that is different from the dirty surroundings. The shiny carriages and the family emblems that were deliberately removed indicate that this place seems to be an underground place used to vent the bad tastes and eccentric hobbies of the nobility.  place.

    Next door is a bustling and dirty market - the slave market.

    In Byzantium, the slave market was almost extinct. Edward I launched an anti-slavery movement because the former emperor had the blood of slaves flowing in his body. However, in Saint Gabriel, the slave trade passed down from the ancient Sica Empire  The habit seems to be getting stronger now.

    As a homeless man without an "identity", Morpheus could not bring a housekeeper with him like those aristocratic young masters who came to select female slaves and had the qualifications to directly enter the high-end consumption area of ??the slave market to select "goods". All he could see was a group of  A group of the lowest male coolies were tied together with iron chains. Occasionally, a gorgeously dressed lady would pass by, waving a delicate fan. Their eyes were staring at the lower body of the scantily clad slaves, searching for the target.  The guy with the third extra-large leg bought it and went back to satisfy his lonely body.

    Here, the filth is not only the streets, but also the stench of rotten souls.

    Although Morpheus is compassionate, he cannot take this into consideration. What he has to do now is to find the most suitable "eyes", "fists" and gold coins in the shortest time. There is no doubt that if there are gold coins, the first two will be included. The so-called way to make money  Tao, the slave market and the arena are naturally not as simple as being neighbors. In the end, Morpheus confirmed his idea at the center of the slave market - strong slaves were bought in batches by the buyers of the arena here.  And he was pulled directly to the backstage of the arena not far away. There were many soldiers and mercenaries from other countries, and even legendary barbarians and black people who couldn't be named.

    In addition to the slaves who were captured for sale, there were also various professionals with free status.

    They spent silver coins to gamble.

    Or rather, gambling on your life.

    The rules are clearly written on the wooden board next to it. It only costs thirteen silver coins to participate in the most common and low-level killing competition. If you survive and win, you will be eligible to enter the next round of the competition. Five rounds are mandatory. After five rounds, if  If you are still alive, you can win a share of gold coins that will make others envious, and you can choose to continue fighting or leave.

    Speaking of which, Morpheus is a person who is very good at taking advantage of his own advantages. He has basically no strengths except for being able to fight, and this kind of activity with equally terrifying risks and benefits seems to be tailor-made for him - the entire site  After one day, Morpheus calculated the proportion of corpses carried out from the back door of the arena to the slaves pulled in. The majority of slaves were around level  field, and earn a lot of money.

    It¡¯s just that compared to the entire army of ¡°cannon fodder¡±, such people are rare.

    Taking out the remaining ten Naz silver coins from the Gabriel Empire, Morpheus handed them to the registration office administrator sitting in front of the wooden table. The smell of the slave market will never be good, so don't do it here either.  I want to see a good face - the guy who always looks like someone owes money raised his eyelids, glanced at the short Morpheus, sneered, reached out and took a sign from the table and threw it to him.  Not even unnecessary nonsense.

    That brand means the qualification to enter the arena.

    Although the gold coin was stained with blood, Morpheus knew that if he wanted to get the most money in the shortest time, he could only fight like this - although at this moment he was thrown into the lowest-level melee group, he still  Silently, he followed a large group of people who either signed up or were forced into the dark, damp, bloody and smelly corridor.

    ?? In a world where risks and opportunities coexist, if you want to do things with a soaring attitude, you will never be able to follow the steps.

    The slightly thin figure, with the hood pulled up, Mo Mo at this timeFaith was inconspicuous in a team of dozens of people.

    With a calm pace, he raised his cheek slightly and watched the sunlight above his head disappear at the entrance of the corridor. His maturing face gradually gained a hint of determination to move forward.
