Arad's crooked savior

Cyrus' words were choked in his throat. He opened his mouth several times, but could not utter any rebuttal.

To put it another way, if the experimental device hadn't exploded because of that monster that accidentally appeared, you would be just a pile of bones and dust now.

Isabella is a royal daughter, but her thoughts are somewhat different from those of ordinary people. For example, she may have compassion for slaves, but she will never launch a huge liberation movement.

But Feng Ying just said that she and Mavis were once Empire civilians!

Isabella's thoughts drifted away unconsciously. She once remembered that on a certain day in a certain year, her father gave a speech to soldiers and civilians on the high platform of Vetalon.

His voice was very magnetic and contagious, and his cordial declaration, whether written in advance or performed on the spot, made countless soldiers and civilians shed tears and kneel down on the spot to renew their allegiance.

The image of the emperor at that time was that of a wise king with lofty ideals and loving his people like a son.

After all, if you want to restore the glory of the Peruvian Empire, you must have soldiers. Where do the soldiers come from, civilians!

Civilians are the foundation of the empire.

The princess seemed to have fallen into a very subtle emotion. She followed the hundred-meter passage cut by Siatt and murmured to herself:

"The source of slaves is prisoners in wars and criminals who have committed crimes. However, there have been no large-scale wars in Delos in the past few years, but the number of slaves in the arena has not decreased."

arena!

Siatt's pretty face suddenly turned cold when she heard this word, and the murderous intention spread even more, so that Cyrus had to be cautious to prevent her from rioting.

The Imperial Arena was originally a vacation palace where Heinrich II trained. It is located southeast of Vetalun, next to this golden capital.

Later, after Lyon came to power, he carried out extensive construction projects and built the vast palace into the Imperial Arena, also known as the Arena, for the entertainment of the nobles.

Once a week, an extremely bloody competitive battle is held in the gladiatorial arena. The participants include patients with ghost hands, magic gunners, slaves of certain nobles, various adventurers, various ferocious monsters, etc.

If Xu Zu’s martial arts tournament is the pinnacle competition of fighting skills, then the Empire Arena is a battle of life and death. In most cases, there is only one winner!

Not only are the nobles enjoying it, but the Emperor of Lyon will also go to at least one of the four games held within a month in person.

The reason why the empire has a steady stream of "slaves" and the increasingly prosperous comparison behavior among nobles lies in the imperial arena.

Because once a week, the person who survives in the arena can make a "wishes" to the emperor in person!

Slaves for freedom, strong men for wealth and fame.

Day after day, never ending, it has been going on for more than twenty years.

And because of Delos's unique "martial arts" custom, most noble families have traditional martial arts and swordsmanship. Even "Human of the Wind", who is famous for his escape, was also a master of swordsmanship when he was young.

So the nobles used various nice names such as "expanding private guards, working to mortgage taxes" to acquire talented children in their territories.

Afterwards, the children will be trained by specialized trainers to become combat slaves who only know how to fight. Only by killing each other can they eat!

For a team of fifty children, the elimination rate, that is, the death rate, is 90%.

The surviving children have just passed the first threshold of survival. They will learn martial arts that can only be learned by nobles, and will be sent to the local gladiatorial arena for preliminary struggles and fights.

After advancing step by step, those who can finally participate in the highest arena will have mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind them.

Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate of selection, nobles will specially select some talents who are born with special talents, such as ghost hand patients, magic gun test subjects, etc.

Natalia, because of her tenacious vitality and magic hand effect, was favored by the nobles and learned the art of sword control.

At the same time, various experimental products of the empire, such as the low-end version of the Green Evil Dragon, will also be put into the arena to increase the difficulty and test performance.

Any slave who can win in the imperial arena will naturally be released from slavery and restored to freedom, and will be rewarded with a large amount of gold and silver, and leave on the soft soil filled with blood.

Of course, some of the victors had lost themselves due to the bloody battle, and simply joined the nobility again, seeking a vague sense of familiarity.

And the nobles who cultivate winners will naturally be in the limelight, which is much better than wearing gold and silver to show off. If the slaves are dumb, the nobles can also "ask for" the slaves' wishes for the winner. of.

The Imperial Arena has become the most foul-smelling and corrupt place in the Delos Empire. The nobles are clinking glasses of red wine on the stage, chatting and laughing, while the slaves are bleeding and fighting for their lives in the audience.

Cyrus knew all the details behind the arena on the spot, but the princess Isabella once simply thought that it was an ordinary arena, an arena that she voluntarily participated in for the sake of fame and wealth.

After a while of silence, Isabella shook her head bitterly: "Is there anything I can do?"

She probably guessed that since Ye Lin brought her here, it hinted that her father would actually refuse the marriage proposed by her father.

Coupled with the recent ups and downs, including the three congressmen who plotted against the Queen, used their lives to forge the magic sword, and were corrupt and corrupt, it was enough to prove that Ye Lin was at least on Bellemare's side.

Her existence, or precisely because of her status as a princess, put her in the most embarrassing situation.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you." Ye Lin apologized ashamedly.

"What will you do next?" There was no resentment or anger in Isabella's eyes. She was as calm as water, but her slightly red eyes showed her inner restlessness.

"I want to help restore Belmare and destroy the Imperial Arena."

Cyrus was shocked that he actually revealed his next plan so frankly.

He wants to destroy the arena where the nobles gather?

Could it be that he was preparing to annihilate at least one-tenth of the aristocracy?

But Cyrus looked around helplessly, and a group of awakened people quietly surrounded her. With just her and the princess, there was a high probability that they would not be able to escape from Biermark, and there was also Ye Lin whose combat power was extremely unclear.

"In other words, Cyrus and I can't run away today?" Isabella's face was full of sourness.

Ye Lin was silent for a while, then sighed: "I'm sorry."

Feeling even lower...

Cut~

Gu Yu suddenly expressed disdain, breaking the stiff and awkward situation, and said disdainfully:

"Princess, let's be honest. If Ye Lin hadn't said that you could still be saved and he was a friend, we would have done all the actions secretly from the beginning to the end. Not only would you not have known any information, but you would have even been married to us stupidly. , I will never know it for the rest of my life when I have a child.”

Probably feeling good about scolding the princess, Gu Yu folded his hands across his chest with satisfaction and hummed: "Although the father's sins are not as bad as those of his children, Leon is a good father, but he is definitely not a good monarch. But compared to slapping him now, it is better to pull him out in the future." Let’s throw cabbage into the cage during the parade.”

The words were quite ugly and made Isabella frown, but after calming down and analyzing it carefully, she actually made some sense.

Delos can now be said to have "external and internal troubles"!

Belmare wants to restore the country, the Bantu people have a bloody hatred for Delos, and the Xuzu is extremely cautious because of the problems left by Pelus. This is an external worry.

The class system is too harsh, the bloody arena has been stubborn for decades, and the resentment of the people has been accumulated to the extreme. This is an internal trouble.

The high pressure in the Delos Empire has reached an extreme point. If nothing unexpected happens in the next few years, the only way to relieve domestic pressure is to launch an aggressive war.

Leon is getting older, and as the recognized next successor, Prince Fann, he has become the object of all kinds of fawning among the nobles, as if he is already the new king of the Delos Empire!

The eldest prince Fan En did not hide his desire for the throne at all on weekdays. Except for necessary gatherings and festivals, he was not willing to return to Weitalun at all.

He almost said bluntly that there is no thirty-year-old prince in the world. If you don’t abdicate, old man, I will lead the nobles to revolt outside.

Leon was naturally unhappy, even though it was his own son.

The ambitious Lyons and his son, if there is no surprise to divert their attention, they might perform a touching act of "father is kind and son is filial".

In this sense, if the action plan is successful, Ye Lin will be a good doctor and a good friend of the Delos Empire.

Not only did he cure the disease, but he also served as a small reform expert, and finally served as a psychological counselor to regulate the relationship between the royal family. It can be said that there is no reward for hard work.
