"Is there one here too?" Chen Ce was a little surprised.
"Yes, but they are not Noxian soldiers - or were, but are not now."
"This is a bit strange...were there any Noxians who were not soldiers here during the war?"
"Of course there are, and there are quite a few." The boss smiled, his tone gradually rising, as if he was talking about something to be proud of: "They all come here to make money or give money. This is also considered our town. It’s a feature.”
"make money?"
"You seem to know nothing...where are you from?"
"North." Chen Ce deliberately blurred the place name [Presidian], "I am a traveler, traveling all the way south from the north."
"Oh, traveler." The boss nodded thoughtfully and gave him a slightly lewd look. "No wonder your female companion is so beautiful - I heard that beauties love travelers. Especially us Vastaya women, haha."
Chen Ce was noncommittal.
After a short pause, the hotel owner continued: "When it comes to making money, it naturally refers to the underground fighting ring - well, maybe I shouldn't have told you this, but these are troubled times, I don't think so. People have time to worry about this, haha."
"Underground fighting ring?" Upon hearing this term, a half-human, half-vastaya figure suddenly flashed in Chen Ce's mind.
"Yes, fighting arena." The hotel owner lowered his tone again, but he still couldn't hide the pride in his tone. "Anyone can come in, fight or bet on fists. That's what the Noxians love."
"Did Noxians build this underground fighting ring?"
"That's not true. The underground fighting ring has existed for a long time. The founder... To be honest, it's hard to trace back. In short, the boss on the surface now is an Ionian."
"In this way..." Chen Ce thought for a moment and took out another gold coin from the bag. "Can I ask you about someone?"
Seeing that there was money to be made, the boss smiled even more. "Of course, my distinguished guest."
"Seti. Have you heard of this name?" Chen Ce asked the question he was most concerned about straight to the point.
Sett, the powerful warrior, is the greatest dutiful son in Ionia and the strongest boxer.
Oh, and One Punch Man in the canyon.
"Seti...hiss..." The hotel owner stroked his beard and thought for a while, but finally shook his head with regret. "Sorry, I haven't heard of that name."
He took back his hand that was reaching for the gold coins.He knows the rules.
But Chen Ce doesn't mind forming a good relationship.
"Then please help me pay attention." He threw the gold coin in his hand on the table, and the beautiful arc made the boss's eyes widen.
After doing this, he was going to go back to his room to rest. Since the innkeeper had never heard of Seti, it proved that Seti at this point in time had not yet become the "underground emperor" of Ionia. He wanted to find him in the vast sea of people. It's still too difficult.
What's more... even if it is found, it may not be of much use.
Firstly, Seti's ability is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, and secondly, he doesn't care about anyone or anything except his mother. It is quite difficult to get him to join the resistance.
Rather than spending time on him, it would be better to make more preparations to try to awaken and befriend Syndra - that is the "super weapon" that can single-handedly subvert the battlefield between the two countries.
Chen Ce carried half a box of dry food and prepared to go back to his room.
But the moment he stepped on the stairs, the hotel owner suddenly stopped him:
"Wait, guest...I can't take your money for nothing."
The innkeeper caught up with him, and then whispered as if he had some secret:
"I heard there is a heavyweight fighting match tomorrow night...the prize is the great sculptor Imero's Imero Stone - a whole pair. Tomorrow's competition will be very exciting, many rich and famous people will be there, maybe you can be there Let me ask you what that one is called...Seti?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ce stopped immediately.
Not because maybe he can find out about Seti's whereabouts from the rich and famous tomorrow, but...
Because of that prize.
Imero Stone by Imero the Sculptor.
That's... the nickname of the twin gems in Ahri's hands.
Of course, the thing itself has no magic power. Ahri's magic gives it power, but...
It is related to Ahri’s life experience.
Ahri has been looking for this thing, in order to understand the mystery of her life experience - how was she born, what is her tribe called, and where are her tribe members?
She only knew that she had carried the twin gems with her since she had memories.
"Thank you, I will pay attention." Chen Ce responded with a smile.
At the same time, in the room upstairs, Ahri, who was taking a shower, suddenly twitched her furry fox ears.
She heard...Imero Stone.
"boss!"
Chapter 42 ko nuo Seti da!
"Imero...Imero Stone!"
"Look, the pair of gems on my hand are also called imero stones! A woman named Xirun told me about it! She is a businessman! I have seen this thing in her memory!"
"She did not lie to me. These gems are really called Imero stones! They are the works of the sculptor Imero!"
"If we can find the sculptor Imero...the man with the butterfly beard...maybe he can tell me about the mystery of my life experience!"
"Boss, can you take me to that fighting arena?"
"You don't need to come to fight or anything like that. I won't bother you... I... I can do it by myself!"
"It really doesn't work... I'll ask for directions and find my way there! You just need to wait for me!"
"Boss~~~!"
In the small hotel room, Ah Li, who had just taken a shower and whose hair was still a little wet, grabbed Chen Ce's hand and shook it like a baby.
Similarly, because she had just taken a shower, she did not put on her usual red and white coat, but only wore a sleeveless and tight-fitting shirt - the one she usually wore underneath. When you stand up, your plump breasts will tremble together...
Her lower body only had a pair of clothing similar to safety pants, and her slender white thighs were clearly visible. Together with the nine swaying fox tails, it could be said that she was full of charm.
"Ahem... um..." Chen Ce coughed twice, took his hand out and looked away at the same time. "This matter... I didn't say I wouldn't take you there..."
"You agreed!" Ahri looked so happy that his eyes were shining, and his pair of furry pointed ears stood up instantly.
"Anyway, it's only a day to go and see, so you should rest." Chen Ce said, "But accordingly, I hope you will work harder for me in the future."
"Of course!"
"You must always follow my instructions after arriving at Filor Island... you may even encounter some dangers."
"No problem!"
"Well, in that case, let me help you once."
"Hee hee~ The boss is the best~ mua~" Ah Li blew a kiss, then wrapped his nine tails around Chen Ce who was sitting on the chair and pulled him over.
Now they are both sitting on the bed.
"...What are you doing?" Chen Ce subconsciously wanted to break away, but he had to say that those big tails were quite powerful.
"As a token of my gratitude, I will lend you my tail tonight~" Ahri smiled sweetly, with purity written all over her charming face. "My tail is very soft. You can sleep on it as your pillow or use it as a quilt~"
"...But I opened another room next door."
"Hey, don't waste your money. This bed is enough to sleep two people."
"..."
"Then I'll go to bed first. You should also go to bed early. You have to replenish your strength before you can get the Imero Stone tomorrow~"
After saying that, Ah Li fell directly to sleep, not minding that her body had exposed a lot of beautiful scenery.
Chen Ce was a little helpless, but he didn't struggle anymore.
He lay on his side on the other side of the bed, letting the nine fluffy fox tails cover him gently - oh, one of them was pulled up by him and used as a pillow.
Indeed...it's quite comfortable.
Much softer than a quilt...
After a day and night of rest, Chen Ce's previous fatigue was gone. When he approached the hotel owner, the latter said, "Young people have good energy. After fighting in the room all day, they are even more energetic."
Regarding this sentence, Ahri's head was full of question marks and said she didn't understand - fighting?What battle?She wouldn't fight with her boss.
Chen Ce didn't bother to explain. After taking out another gold coin, the boss decisively agreed to lead them.
Counting yesterday's one, the two gold coins are equivalent to his turnover for several days. Naturally, he will not refuse such a small thing as leading the way - the underground fighting ring is not a secret here anyway, as long as Anyone who is willing to pay can get in.
He was also a regular guest at the underground fighting ring. After going around a few remote and dirty alleys, he brought the two of them to their destination - a place that looked like an ordinary tavern from the outside.
After passing through several secret doors, a large ring-shaped arena-style building came into view.
"The admission ticket is three silver coins per person. I'll hand it over for you." The innkeeper stared at the bag on Chen Ce's waist and rubbed his hands. The specific meaning was self-evident. "It's your first time here, so you can only sit in the last row. You can move around if you want, but be careful not to let others occupy your seat - you know, it's not wise to conflict with others in this kind of place. s Choice."
"Well, thank you." Chen Ce handed the other party six silver coins, and then took Ahri, who was completely hidden under his coat and hood, to find a remote corner to sit down.
"This place... smells so bad." Ah Li pinched her nose in disgust as soon as she sat down.
The air of the underground fighting ring was filled with the smell of nicotine and alcohol. The sweat and saliva of the men were also fermenting on this rarely cleaned floor, and the smell was indeed somewhat foul.
However, her sense of smell was countless times better than that of ordinary people, and she felt even more disgusting.
"Be patient." Chen Ce responded casually, his eyes already on the ring in the center of the arena.
The arena is a bit like the "Octagonal Cage" of later generations, but larger.The floor there was covered in blood, and if you looked carefully you might be able to find some... tissue fragments.
Soon, the first battle of the night began - a battle between two Ionians, both muscular men with weapons in their hands.
Yes, although this place is called "Underground Fighting Arena", it is actually not limited to fist fighting - perhaps more like an "underground arena" or "underground death arena."
The first battle was fierce. The weapons of both sides beat each other to pieces and blood was everywhere. There were waves of shouts in the audience, and everyone was unleashing their violent desires at this moment.
But Chen Ce keenly noticed that the wealthy businessmen and celebrities in the "VIP seats" above the audience did not show much interest, let alone cheers and celebrations - it seemed that this first game was not the purpose of their arrival today. .
They are waiting for the final "championship defense game."
It was the final battle where the prize was the "Imero Stone".
"Boss, when are we going to play?" Although Ah Li likes watching dramas, he has no interest in this kind of rough fighting, and is even a little disgusted. "I only want the Emerald Stone and don't want to see these things."
"Don't worry," Chen Ce said. "We found out the news too late. We are not qualified to participate. If we want to get the Imero Stone, we must adopt some... special methods."
"What special method?"
"Challenge the champion directly."
"...Eh?" Ah Li was stunned for a moment, still confused.
But Chen Ce was too lazy to continue explaining to her, and only focused on looking at the ring - he had to confirm the approximate strength of the contestants in this underground fighting ring before making a decision.
The hotel owner said that according to the rules of the underground fighting ring, after all competitions are over, all non-contestants have the right to directly challenge the champion - the constraints for the challengers will be formulated based on the champion's current state, and no surrender will be allowed during the competition until The game ends when one party dies or the winner takes the initiative.
So...it's a fight to the death.
He doesn't like gambling much for things that aren't particularly necessary.
"Awase! Awase!"
At the end of the first three games, a burst of extremely fierce shouts suddenly broke out from the audience - they probably shouted one person's name.
"The invincible Avasay!"
"Use the most brutal means to kill your opponent!"
"Wring his neck! Then pull his intestines out of his mouth!"
"Awase! Awase!"
The voices became louder and louder, and the wealthy businessmen and celebrities in the VIP seats finally became interested.
Chen Ce knew that this fourth game may not be the last, but it is definitely a key game related to the birth of the champion-especially the player named Avasai, who is probably the default champion in the hearts of most viewers.
It was rare for him to feel a little interested.
But what interested him even more... was Avasay's opponent.
He saw a half-vastaya figure in the dark, deserted corner...a figure that was somewhat familiar to him...
No one cheered for that player, no one thought highly of him.
But he still walked into the ring with his head held high.
