Arcane Lord

Xia Duo casually took out the invitation, and only then did he notice that the invitation, which had been rubbed hard by the gatekeeper at the door and became wrinkled, had now returned to its smooth shape.

It turns out I was mistaken!

Xia Duo complained in his heart. When he first got the invitation, he noticed a faint magical light on it, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Looking at it now, it's a bit of a slap in the face.

Xia Duo was interested in studying this rather strange flexible paper invitation made of memory metal. He had already thought of many uses for this material.

But at this moment, the dwarf on the opposite side has already extended his hand, so he can only wait for another opportunity later.

After Xia Duo handed over the invitation, the dwarf actually covered the invitation with a shimmering hand. After checking it, he said to Xia Duo:

"Guest, please follow me, I will take you to the stands."

"Um."

Sha Duo nodded and followed the other party into another passage. During the march, the dwarf mage was still introducing to Sha Duo——

"What is going on now is the ultimate challenge of Oscar, the warrior of the Stone Ax clan. The opponent is a demon. The guests arrived a little late and have missed the most exciting part of the battle. The battle is probably over now."

"Devil? You actually brought the demon to the arena for display?"

Xia Duo immediately frowned. Even if the demon was controlled, it would still radiate the devil's aura that was difficult to distinguish. If the aura leaked and infected bodies were created outside, the abyss might fall.

It is somewhat irresponsible to do this in the arena. The Underdark has been ravaged by demons once, and the remaining poison has not yet been clear. Now the demons have been brought to the surface. Is it possible that——

It is difficult for Xia Duo not to make conspiracy theories such as "beggar your neighbor" or "share the same responsibility for trouble". This matter is really too sensitive, and he has to speculate on others with the greatest malice.

Only demons that have been completely purified are good demons. All other behaviors that delay purification are the common enemies of all intelligent creatures.

Regarding Xia Duo's question, the dwarf mage in front seemed a little unhappy, but his service attitude was still sincere, "The guest misunderstood. The opponent for the ultimate challenge was chosen by Oscar himself, and he also brought the demon. Our arena is just providing A place of fighting.

"In addition, please rest assured that the Stone Ax family has obtained the consent of King Pasteur and is sure that there will be no negative impact before bringing the demon to the surface."

It was okay that the dwarf mage didn't explain, but once he explained, Shado's suspicion became more serious. If this matter was just a private act in the gladiatorial arena, it might not be that serious, but if it can get the consent of King Pasteur, then the problem would be serious.

Maybe the dwarves didn't pay too much attention, thinking that since all the demons in the Underdark could be defeated, it would be okay to just send one to a duel, but Shado, who had communicated with the Archangel Ted in the outer plane not long ago, knew that——

The devil's aura is not only infected through contact, but even just looking at it has the risk of infection!

Not to mention that in an environment like the gladiatorial arena where emotions are high and people are easily infected by the outside world, watching demons fight and being infected by the demonic aura is almost inevitable.

It's just that being infected does not necessarily lead to becoming an infected body, but there are many negative effects, and if you have seen too much, it is not necessarily true. It may even be able to create a completely demonized dwarf demon.

When he thought of Danzo's official attitude of letting down his guard against demons, Shado suddenly had a bad feeling. He was afraid that the situation in the Underdark would be even worse.

Of course, it is also possible that the dwarves themselves knew it, but it would be even more terrifying if they deliberately pretended not to know in order to "share the same difficulties" with the surface.

Thinking of this, Sha Duo no longer had the time to ask the dwarf mage what the next battle would be.

Gu Jue

…

They were silent all the way, and soon reached the end of the passage. After passing a spiral staircase, Xia Duo appeared in the stands of the arena.

Although they are all open-air stands, the location here is obviously more "high-end". There are hollow stone pillars on both sides to block the view. Directly opposite, because the arena is not open to the public at this time, there is actually no one there.

Of course, there were the same or even more advanced stands on both sides, but apart from the sound, nothing else could be sensed. Xia Duo noticed that the stone pillars on both sides were carved with fine and regular runes, and there was a faint magical aura coming out.

It should be the effect of dwarf magic which is usually very rare.

The stand where Chateau is located has a total of three seats, arranged in a triangle. One is at the back but higher, and the two are parallel and slightly lower than the one at the back.

The dwarf mage briefly introduced the facilities on the stand, and controlled the stone ball next to the chair to transfer a bottle of wine as a demonstration, and said to Sha Duo:

"This is the ice flame wine from the Dark Territory. It is a greeting gift given by the arena to every invited guest. Guests can do whatever they want with it."

The dwarf mage did not touch the bottle of wine, but walked to the hollow stone pillar aside and finally said:

"If the guest needs anything, he can touch the stone ball next to the chair to give instructions. I can hear you at any time, so I won't disturb you here."

After saying that, he bumped into the stone pillar and disappeared.

…

After the dwarf mage left, Sha Duo relaxed a little. He noticed that the dwarf mage responsible for "scrubbing" in the center of the arena had begun to leave. Perhaps the next duel was about to begin.

But, what about the people in the Seven Towers?

The Seven Towers did not seem to have mentioned that they would send anyone here, and Hilda Lana should have chosen this place, but she was not the first to arrive, which made Shado somewhat dissatisfied.

Turning around and seeing three stone chairs behind him, two in front and one in the back, two low and one high, he went straight to the higher one behind and sat down.

After sitting down, the host had already begun to introduce the next gladiator to appear. Shado thought for a moment and put his hand on the stone ball next to the chair.

However, he did not give any instructions, but sensed the open magic string of this set of dwarven magic facilities, and compared it with the operation method introduced by the mage receptionist before, and fiddled with it casually twice.

Then, the stone chair where Shado sat began to descend, and at the same time, the two chairs in front began to separate to both sides, and finally Shado's chair moved to the front, becoming three parallel.

At this time, the host had not finished introducing the "great achievements" of the gladiator who was about to appear - "He went deep into the ice field, hunted white dragons, and fought frost giants. He is -" Unfortunately, the audience in the arena now only had invited "members", and there were no more ordinary audiences to create an atmosphere. Although there were several cheering voices from suspected relatives and friends, it was obviously much worse than the previous ultimate challenge. However, Shado still knew the name of the next gladiator before the host introduced him - % # ￥ @* # Shado did not understand Dwarven language, but the host would announce it again in Elvish - Quentin, the warrior of the Ugarte (Stone Eye) clan! Later, I don't know if he was notified that there were human guests present at the last minute, and he introduced them again in stuttering Netherese, and then the warrior appeared -
