Beast Throne

Chapter 712 Transformation
Kaka, the thick mahogany gate was pushed open a small crack, Su Tu and his party of more than a dozen people quickly passed through the crack, and immediately rushed into the big arena without stopping.

Since the main gate is a special passage for the powerful, it is naturally different from those ordinary civilian passages.The main passage is not only spacious and bright, but there are also many independent boxes along the way, which are exclusive stands for the nobles.And these boxes are not mixed, they belong to different powerful families.The arena will only provide private rooms. As for the decoration and maintenance of the private rooms, those nobles are responsible for themselves.Of course, if the nobles find it troublesome, they can also leave it to the arena to take care of it, but they need to pay a considerable amount of fees.

Although the Royal Coliseum is large, its scope is limited after all, and it is impossible to satisfy all nobles.If you want to get a box in the big arena, you don't just need money.

The more powerful the nobles, the bigger the private rooms they have, and the better the location.Among them, the box of the imperial family is undoubtedly located in the center of the entire arena, and only members of the direct blood can use it.As for the surroundings of the royal box, it belongs to the Grand Duke of Griffin, Marshal Nimitz, Cardinal Moratti, and other great lords with duke titles. They are the core members of the entire Tianyang Empire, forming the first of the empire pyramid. first class.

Even the uncle of the third prince Su Wei, the imperial prime minister Hippoly's box could not be included in it, and could only be placed on the second floor, alongside those less powerful lords.The reason is simple. Although Hippoly's power is not small, its foundation is too shallow after all. His power comes from the appointment of Su Bolai, and he lacks the power that is only loyal to himself.

The boxes on the first two floors are a symbol of power and are assigned by special managers.Usually, after the power of a certain family reaches a certain level, the arena will take the initiative to donate it, and basically it does not cost.Similarly, if a family that originally owned the boxes on the first two floors declines and can no longer be at the forefront of the empire, their box will be taken back by the arena without any reason.

As for the remaining boxes, their ownership is not fixed, and the arena will hold an auction every once in a while to publicly auction these boxes.In theory, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get one of the boxes.

But this is only an ideal situation. In fact, this kind of auction is also very particular.Before the auction, the arena will give each bidder a distribution map, marking which people belong to the boxes on the first two floors, so that the bidders can prepare in advance and choose the boxes they want.

For example, if a nobleman takes the military route, his first choice is naturally the box around Marshal Nimitz, which is closer to this military boss.If the bidder wants to enter politics, the ideal box location is of course around Hippoly.But if the bidding family belongs to a commercial family and wants to expand the family business to other provinces, it is better for them to target around those big lords. Maybe they can find a chance to fight with that big lord while watching the duel reach an agreement.

To a certain extent, the layout of boxes in the Grand Arena represented the distribution of power among the elites of the Tianyang Empire, and it was the epitome of the entire noble class.It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to know which step a certain family is in in the Tianyang Empire and which power it belongs to, you only need to buy a ticket to the arena, and it will be clear at a glance.

Su Tu is a direct bloodline of the royal family, and he often came to the arena to watch the battles, but that was a long time ago.Since Su Bolai succeeded to the throne, Su Tu has not been to the arena, let alone the royal box.But at this moment, Su Tu still didn't intend to enter the royal box. His goal was the control room at the top of the arena.

Since the arena is a place for duels, it naturally needs some magic shields to block the aftermath of the battle to avoid accidental injury.But looking at it from another angle, the shield can also trap the people inside.If the magic shield was opened when Su Tu and the others entered the duel field, it would take a lot of effort for them to figure it out.With Su Tu's cautious personality, it is impossible for this to happen, so he must rush to the control room first.

It's just that no one knows that Sutu has another reason for doing this.He once swore in his heart that he would never walk into the royal box that symbolizes the highest power of the empire as a prince in his life.As for what identity to use to enter, there is no need to say more.

All the way up, Su Tu and others climbed to the highest level of the arena and walked straight into the control room of the magic circle.Several crystal balls of different colors are placed on the stone table in the center of the control room, which are the control cores of the magic defense shields with different attributes. Injecting energy into the crystal balls can activate the magic defense shields of the arena.

The magicians under Su Tu quickly took their positions, checked the situation of the crystal ball immediately, and nodded to Su Tu.The demons didn't seem to think that someone could sneak in here, so they didn't destroy the crystal ball, and the magic defense cover could be opened at any time.After receiving the news, Su Tu took a deep breath, walked slowly to the window of the control room, and looked down slowly.

Dirty, messy, miserable... Although Su Tu had already prepared for it, he was still deeply shocked by the situation in front of him.Dozens of 10 people have been detained here for several months, and one can imagine what their situation will be like.

Su Tu conducted a special investigation before the operation. When the imperial city was captured by demons, the total number of residents in the city was between 60 and 70.Although Jiabo issued an order to prohibit massacres, due to the cruel and bloodthirsty characteristics of the demons, it is impossible for them to be innocent when they fall. It is impossible to calculate how many people died in that night. Only one-third of the residents in the city survived. The second one is very rare.

In the months after that, these surviving residents were again detained in a centralized manner, without any assistance except the minimum living supplies. During this period, a large number of people will definitely die because of this.Su Tu thought carefully before taking action. It would be great if half of the surviving residents in the city could be rescued during this trip. It is impossible for him to take all of them out with his ability.

However, after seeing the scene in front of him, Su Tu changed his mind in an instant. He decided to take everyone away no matter what, and not leave any one behind.As for the price to be paid for this, it was no longer within Su Tu's consideration.

Hundreds of thousands of ragged and haggard residents crowded into the big arena, and almost everyone had no expression on their faces, as if they were walking dead, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as skinny.Being imprisoned here for several months, the residents have experienced panic, fear, luck, hope, despair and other emotions in their hearts, and their hearts have long been ashamed.Now they no longer have the desire to survive in their hearts, and they are just sitting there waiting for death to come, that's all.

The demons did not lie, they would indeed send food to the detained residents, but the food here was not the food crops that are commonly understood, but some severely decomposed livestock carcasses that had been bitten to death for a long time.These corpses were randomly thrown from the air, and almost all of them were smashed into a puddle of flesh after landing.And these are the only food for the detained residents.

If you don't eat, you will die.Desperate to eat these stinking meat paste, maybe you can survive, maybe you will die faster.Placed on the edge of the arena, the rows of bloody residents' corpses are the best proof.

This is hell, but it is also heaven at the same time, except that this is not a paradise for humans, but a paradise for rats, flies, and various scavengers.The arena has a special status. There are often a large number of dignitaries coming in and out. Naturally, there are also a large number of people responsible for cleaning. In normal times, let alone mice, even flies are rarely seen.

But at this moment, fat rats can be seen everywhere in the flesh and blood, gnawing on the corpses, whether they are livestock or residents.There are even mice that grow bigger than cats, and directly eat the residents who are dying but still have a breath, while others are indifferent.

It's not that they don't want to help, it's just that they really don't have any strength, and even the mice can't be driven away.What's more, even if they were driven away, it was just a day or two more to live anyway, and they would eventually become their food.

"Your Highness, I'm ready..." The summoner Tralay, who was in charge of transferring the residents, had just walked to the window, but couldn't say a word anymore. Any trace of excitement at the imminent success of the action dissipated in an instant.

At this moment, whether it is the shadow mage Fenli or the warrior who killed several nightmare knights, everyone including Su Tu seems to have forgotten their purpose in an instant, forgot that they must hurry up, and just looked down, There is a blank in the brain.Immediately afterwards, after the shock, bursts of complex feelings of guilt welled up in my heart.

Although the purpose of the action is to save people, but ask yourself, the reason why these people are so active and hardworking, and venture into the city, their ultimate purpose is still for their own interests.Almost no one is involved in the operation because they really care about the residents and simply want to rescue them.

Especially Su Tu, at this time he felt even more ashamed and fell into deep self-blame.Compared with his elder brother who has no ability to govern the country and only knows how to enjoy himself, Su Tu has always believed that he is the right heir to the throne.In terms of strength, talent, prestige and influence, Su Bolai and himself are not at the same level at all, but because he was born a few years earlier, he naturally obtained the entire empire, and he can only be inferior to the prince. position, living in the poor areas of the south.

For the arrangement of his father, Su Tu could understand but could not accept it in his heart, and he was always resentful. It was precisely because of this that he kept accumulating strength and waited for the opportunity to come.Unexpectedly, the opportunity really came. Su Bolai was even more depraved than he imagined, and even cooperated with the devil to hand over the imperial city.After hearing this, Su Tu was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.The shock was naturally due to the upheaval, but the ecstasy was because this was an opportunity bestowed on him by God.

It can be said that in the past few months, in order to regain the imperial city from the demons, Su Tu has been in a state of full load and tried every means.Although he also wanted to rescue the residents in the city, Su Tu knew very well that the most important reason why he worked so hard was because of the throne.He must be generous and glorious in this battle, and gain unprecedented prestige, so as to successfully take over the throne, so that no one can refute.

Su Tu had even thought about it. The first thing he would do after he got the throne was to go to the grave of his dead father and let him know that his choice was wrong.Compared with himself, Su Bolai is a scumbag.

But at this moment, Su Tu suddenly felt that he was no different from Su Bolai, they were both so selfish and shameless, and his proud reputation seemed to be a mockery and irony to him.In order to gain the greatest prestige, he deliberately concealed his plan and used the great magicians who came to help him as props for him to gain honor.

No wonder when Feilin was asked for help, her tone was always sarcasm.Su Tu had always thought it was because of Fei Lin's arrogance before, but now he realized that perhaps in Fei Lin's eyes, Su Tu was just a man chasing fame and fortune, and he was on the same level as Su Bolai, the instigator of this incident .

"Act immediately, do your best, and bring everyone out!" Su Tu growled in a low voice, clenched his fists tightly, letting a drop of blood slip from his fingers.
