"Yes," the lean man agreed and immediately retreated.
Not long after, a dwarf with a big beard walked in.
Seeing the bloated man, the dwarf suddenly showed a flattering expression and complimented: "Ah! Brother Fante! Long time no see, you are still as heroic and majestic as ever."
"Ha, not bad, Hao Bing, you look good, come on, sit down quickly," the bloated man known as Fante greeted him, and casually replied with a polite word, "By the way, you're still okay?" How are you? How's business lately?"
"Hey, it's not like you don't know how much business I can get from my crappy place, but it's just so-so all the time," the dwarf Hao Bing smiled and sat down opposite Fant.
"Really, that's good. Nothing is more important than peace and quiet on the territory," Fante said with a smile, "It sounds like, brother, since nothing happened on the territory, you came to me today for something else. What happened?"
"Ah haha, it's actually nothing. I don't think I've seen you for a long time, brother. I happen to be free today, so I came here to walk around," the dwarf Hao Bing said with a smile.
"You're here, why don't I know what your temper is like? You're the master of the Three Treasures Palace without any problem," Fante took a sip from the round pot, slowly exhaled a mouthful of red mist, and said, "You don't have to go around in circles with me. Well, what’s going on?”
"Ah ha, after all, I still can't hide it from you, brother," the dwarf Hao Bing scratched his head, "Actually, there is something, there is indeed something... But, how to put it, I don't know if it's OK or not. It’s so troublesome, bro.”
"Hey, there's so much nonsense," Fante stretched out his hand and knocked on Hao Bing's chest, "Just say what you want to say, don't act like a bitch."
"Ha, I don't want to either. The main reason is that I really don't know how to do this," said the dwarf Hao Bing. "A few people came to me during the day. They were quite generous and said they had a big business to discuss with me. "
"Huh? Isn't that good?" Fante took another sip of the red mist, "What, the business is too big? Isn't it so big that you, Hao Dadan, are afraid that you won't be able to eat it?"
"This... haha, you still know me. I do have a big appetite, but this matter, how should I put it?" Hao Bing scratched his head, looking a little helpless, "You also know that I am quite humble. , so they actually don’t want to talk to me, but want me to talk to you,
But, you also know me, I am really... right?
So, after my urging, they finally agreed and showed me a sword. "
"A sword?" Fant asked doubtfully.
"Well, a sword, a black heavy sword," Hao Bing said, "I'm ashamed to say that, although they showed me the sword very solemnly, I couldn't see anything special about it at all... …
Although I told them later that I wanted them to explain the origin of the sword, they had no intention of telling me.
On the contrary, after that, they said they would not consider cooperating with me and insisted that I come to you. "
"Sword?" Fant frowned, "What can be so special about a sword? You won't be deceived, right?"
"Well, probably not," Hao Bing said, "They were really generous with their actions. A boy here helped them lead the way, and they gave him a few gold coins directly."
"Hmm..." Fante looked at Hao Bing and slowly rubbed his chin. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but become curious about the mysterious heavy sword.
"Anyway, there is nothing else to do tomorrow. In that case, then you can bring them to see me," Hao Bing said, "Oh, of course, not here. When the time comes, I will go to the wild martial arts field to wait for you. "

"Crack".
Yayin suddenly felt something while walking home. She reached out and touched her arms and found a handful of crystal shards.
"Huh? It's broken?" Liu Ji was a little surprised, "Then it seems we have to go find the dwarf first tomorrow morning? Hmm... But now we have crystal disks in our hands, and we can also use them to sell goods. ?"
"We still have to sell, money is secondary, things can't be wasted, and we can also take this opportunity to ask the military to give us the entire temporary household registration," Yayin said, "Moreover, if the military and the black market If we can cooperate, I feel it will be easier to find Uncle Snow."
"Ah, that's true," Liu Ji nodded, "It feels like he likes to buy things on the black market."
The two of them were talking and getting closer and closer to the camp.
In the distance, you can already see the burning bonfire in the camp, as well as the six potato boys surrounding the bonfire, and Ossa and Jilunini sitting together.
At this moment, Jilunini was sitting on Osa's lap. For some reason, she was pulling the hair on both sides of Osa's face.
But Aosha wasn't angry at all, he just looked at her helplessly and put his hand on his head.
Yayin and Liu Ji came a little closer, and Jilunini seemed to feel it. She lowered her head and looked over, meeting Yayin's eyes.
At that moment, she was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, his face was full of surprise and excitement. He jumped up instantly and ran towards Yayin in a sprint of [-] meters. With a flying jump, Yayin and Liu Ji, who was walking behind Yayin, were thrown to the ground.
Liu Ji immediately transformed into a soft sand cushion, perfectly cushioning the situation.
"Woo, Yayin, you are really not dead..." Jilunini hugged Yayin and rubbed her hard. Big tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but her face was filled with a smile of surprise.
"Luni, don't be so excited, calm down, of course we are not dead," Yayin said with a little helplessness, "You are holding me down like this and I can't even get up."
"Ah, I'm sorry," Jilunini straightened up, sniffed, and said, "Although Osa has already told me, when I see you, I still..."
"Don't worry, we are fine, and so are you," Yayin said, rubbing Jilunini's head, "You are too, you know the consequences of losing control and you are still so impulsive. If Osa hadn't been here, Maybe we can’t see you now..."
"Ah, uh, sorry, it's true..." Jilunini scratched her head and lowered her head in shame.
"Don't apologize, I'm not blaming you," Yayin pushed Jilunini's forehead with her index finger, "I just want to say that you can thank Osa more. After all, he took a beating himself because of you. Not only was Yue hungry, but he also allowed you to scratch and bite him all over his body, and he almost lost his life before."
"Well, I know," Jilunini smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to repay the debt I owe him in my lifetime..."
"It doesn't matter, you can always pay back slowly if you are alive," Yayin said, hugging Ji Lunini again, "Luni, welcome back."
"Well, you too," Jilunini rubbed her head up and down, "Welcome back."
164. Two-in-one word Hengda, Ni Yao Ren sighs.
Early the next morning, Ya Yin and Liu Ji took Yuan and left the camp again.
Aosa was guarding the camp as always, while Jilunini chatted with Yayin until midnight last night and was still sleeping now.
"But luckily you didn't feel sleepy after only sleeping for a while," Liu Ji said casually while walking.
"If the sleep quality is high enough, a slightly shorter sleep time will not have much impact," Yayin said.
"Yeah, that's true," Liu Ji nodded.
It can be seen that after Jilunini woke up, Yayin's mood improved a lot, and her walking steps were much lighter today.
Compared to Yayin, Liu Ji's mood was a bit complicated.
Probably because I went out in the morning today, when I stepped into the outskirts of the city, the place was not as deserted and dead as yesterday. Instead, it was crowded with people. A large number of residents crowded into the narrow passages between these dilapidated houses, slowly moving in their respective directions. Moving forward.
Some of them were gray and dirty, and their clothes were so old and dirty that they no longer knew whether to call them rags or fabric.
Some were a little more respectable, at least with better faces, and the clothes they wore were somewhat human-like, but their eyes were wandering, and they were like walking corpses, stumbling forward in the crowd.
Among these people, you can even see pregnant women and women with children.
Liu Ji and others were walking among the crowd. From time to time, they would accidentally bump into someone who was in a trance, but after bumping into them, they would bow and apologize immediately, and then go around themselves.
Of course, this kind of scene happens from time to time throughout the entire area, and even in this area, apart from apologies, no other conversations can be heard.
After walking for a while, Liu Ji couldn't bear it anymore and told Yayin that he wanted her to catch a passerby and ask about the situation.
Yayin seemed a little curious, so she agreed.
But who would have thought that as soon as Yayin caught a person and before he could say anything, the other person suddenly showed a very frightened expression and apologized to Yayin repeatedly. He didn't listen to what Yayin said. He just apologized and moved his steps. He got into the crowd and ran away quickly.
"What's wrong with him?" Liu Ji looked at the man's back in confusion.
"I don't know. He begged us to let him go. He said he would be late or something..." Yayin looked very confused. "He was late or something. Is he going to class or work?"
"Huh?" Liu Ji frowned slightly.
Late, what a familiar word.
Looking at the nearby scene, Liu Ji had some suspicions in his mind.
Although this kind of scene was not so exaggerated in the reality of previous lives, it would not be uncommon in some dystopian future movies.
Think again of the bustling city center...
"I'll check it out later when I have a chance," Liu Ji thought secretly.
In fact, when he first heard the name Kaga Holy City, he was quite looking forward to coming to this city, but now it seems that this place is not as beautiful as the rumors said.
It was less than half an hour's journey before, but this time Liu Ji and others walked for a full hour in the crowded crowd before finally finding the familiar dilapidated hut.
In the distance, they saw the dwarf they had seen yesterday standing in front of the hut, stretching his neck and looking around.
After seeing Liu Ji and others, he quickly waved to them and shouted: "Hey! Why are you here just now?"
Of course Liu Ji and Yuan didn't understand what he was talking about, and Yain ignored him, but walked up to him unhurriedly and asked: "Are you alone? Where is the person you brought us to meet?" "
"Of course I will take you there, but it can't be in this shabby place like ours, right?" The dwarf jumped down the steps in front of the house, "Let's go, I'll take you there, but we have to do it quickly, don't turn around and let me Brother is waiting impatiently."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked deeper into the area.
"Your eldest brother?" Yayin followed him about one meter behind him and asked as he walked, "My eldest brother or the eldest brother on the road?"
"Of course he is the eldest brother on the road," the dwarf said. "His name is Fante. He is a Titan dwarf and a ruthless man on the road. I think when he first debuted, he single-handedly defeated more than 100 hostile gangs. Every one of the thugs was given the nickname Bakugan Boy by him. Oh, of course, this was the nickname from back then. Now people call him either Fante or Gold Chain Master."
"Oh," Yayin agreed, "then do you think he is qualified to take our business?"
"Ah? Then how would I know? I'm just the leader," the dwarf said with a smile, "I don't know what business you are doing."
"Well..." Yayin glanced at him and said immediately, "There's no one else here, who are you acting for? Just keep it open and give a guess. I don't expect you to be accurate."
"No, I don't know anything. You can take care of the business yourself. I will just take you to see him," the dwarf said, quickening his pace again.
Judging from the fact that he deliberately turned his head to the other side, he probably didn't want to talk anymore.
In silence, a few people continued to move forward along the road. Not long after, Yayin saw a very conspicuous building in the distance.
It was a hemispherical ancient building, about 200 meters in diameter. There were transparent windows on the upper floors. You could see that there seemed to be a lot of people standing behind the windows, all facing the center of the building. They looked like they were dancing. I was so excited that I didn’t know what to do.
"Where are we going?" Yayin looked at the building and frowned.
"Well, the eldest brother is usually there during the day," the dwarf said. "Don't worry, he has his own VIP room, which is perfect for talking about business."
"I'm not worried about that," Yain frowned, "The smell of blood is a bit strong in this place..."
"Huh? The smell of blood? You can smell it from so far away?" The dwarf was a little surprised. "Well, it's not surprising. This is a gladiatorial arena after all. One or two monsters and a few people die every day."
"Arena..." Yayin muttered this unfamiliar word.
Thinking back on that side of the world, except when studying part of history, she had almost no chance to pronounce this word.
In that world, people were escaping from bloodshed and massacre almost every day. Almost no one liked gladiatorial sports, which was about watching other people fight bloody fights in animal cages.
Even in their eyes, this kind of thing is a disgusting taste that only a traitor and a Japanese devil would like.
But he never expected that on the other side of the world, in this peaceful city, there would be such disgusting facilities.
The resentment and grievances condensed on the facility made Ya Yin feel sick just by looking at it.
God knows how many years this thing has been around, and how many people have died in vain because of it.
Seeing Yayin's gloomy face, Liu Ji asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? What did he say?"
"No, it has nothing to do with him," Yayin said solemnly, "That place just makes me uncomfortable."
"That place?" Liu Ji followed Yayin's line of sight and looked at the giant hemispheric building in front of him, frowning slightly.
This building and this shape are nothing more than a sports ground, a horse racing track, etc...
But these two obviously don't make people uncomfortable, so it can only be the Colosseum or the Arena.
"Well, it feels like it would be a good place to practice," Liu Ji muttered.
He hasn't had a suitable punching bag to practice boxing with for a long time. Hearing that it was in a gladiatorial arena made his hands feel a little itchy.
"Little brother, this is not a place for you to practice your skills." After hearing Liu Ji's words, the dwarf turned his head and said in a curse with a strong accent, "The fighters there are all sold out. , if you go in, you can only beat them until they die, but no one can come out alive."
"Can't you make a temporary guest appearance? I'll just go up and play casually," Liu Ji said.
"Sorry, we can't, because the guest players are always unruly," the dwarf said. "Those who dare to go are basically masters. They often end up messing around. They don't kill people when they win. They just admit defeat if they don't want to fight. Gamblers would riot every time, and the riots often ended with no resolution."
"This..." Liu Ji's brows twitched.
This sounds quite reasonable, but I always feel like something is weird...
Not killing people but disturbing them?
In other words, everyone really wants the people inside to die?
At least he wished that everyone except the people he had bet on would die.
With that said, he kind of understood why Ya Yin didn't like this place. It was indeed difficult for people to like it.
But if you think about it carefully, the Colosseums in the movie seem to be basically the same.
Anyway, your life is not yours, your money is yours. For your own money, who would care about other people's lives?
Of course, this is a fallacy, because if you agree with this statement, when someone stabs you to death for money, you'd better not have any complaints.
However, if you are in a place where everyone accepts this fallacy as the truth, then no matter how crooked the fallacy is, it will really become the truth.
