Chapter 540 Game of Thrones
Ogre, Taurus, Pure Blood Orc, Predatory Orc, Troll, Dwarf...
These are all natural combat races on the Dota Continent. Especially ogres and taurens, they almost do not need to do any exercise or practice. As long as they can eat and drink enough, they will have strong combat power comparable to a standard human adventure team when they are adults.
Although this gap will be quickly narrowed after the seal of the gods is dissociated and surpassed the fourth level, the human race with natural weakness has no essential difference in strength compared to these races with strong talents. Going further up, although it is just a pseudo-holy realm, no matter how human races say they can touch the sixth level hurdle from time to time, and the sub-human races have gradually been widened by humans in this regard.
In the private duel of the old Duke of Balzac, four black taurens with hair over a foot long were standing in a row.
Although the Taurus is not a predatory orc, its natural strong physique, tough endurance, and good reproductive power bring considerable amounts. In addition, it is very easy-to-go to enter into madness, the omnivorous Taurus tribe even has the overall strength that is better than the predatory orcs. It is only because the Taurus' easy-going tolerant, unconfrontation with the world, and even called a pedantic and stupid masochistic personality, which often becomes coolie and slave.
The four tauren warriors in front of them are gladiators who have experienced many battles. Their strength is all above level 3. This is extremely rare for the subhuman race, especially the subhuman slaves with a high mortality rate. Judging from the super heavy weapons they hold in their hands that are generally more than 2.5 meters long, no one would doubt their attack and destructive abilities.
Generally speaking, such a tauren gladiator can definitely be sold for more than three thousand gold coins on the black market or in the auction market, and you can definitely not get four at the same time, and you don’t have tens of thousands of gold coins.
And these four Taurus opponents, who can be called "The Endors of the Arena", are just a teenager who is definitely not over twenty years old and a human teenager.
Old Balzac was very satisfied with the game in front of him, whether it was the gladiator or his viewing platform. The "chair" sitting under the old duke's butt came from a gift from a big boss of the Skeleton Society. She was once a concubine of a small country with a famous reputation. After the country was destroyed, she was sold to the imperial capital, Black Mountain, and then "processed" to what she is now.
One of the protagonists of the gladiator performances that the old duke was watching happened to be the eldest son of the imperial concubine. The strong young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he first came, and he looked like a girl. After being tired of being played by the old duke, he was directly handed over to an experienced teacher for training. It took only more than three years. When he saw him again, he was already a qualified gladiator covered with scars and a cheetah-like muscle.
Old Balzac was very satisfied with the gaze of the young soldier when he looked at him, especially when he saw the chair sitting beneath him, the urge to chew his flesh and blood with his teeth and swallow it directly came to his face.
I think it is precisely because of this hatred that he can survive the cruel course that the trainer sounds impossible to complete, and overcome countless bottlenecks in just over three years, reaching a height that many noble teenagers of the same age cannot reach in their entire lives, and then stand in front of themselves again.
Just think of the fate that this cute boy is about to face soon, Old Balzac feels excited, especially fantasizing about the things that the child has been thinking about for more than three years. When he thought he was about to succeed, he was hit by the cruel reality and hoped to be completely disillusioned. As long as he fantasizes the expression on his face at that time, the old duke will start to breathe excitedly, and even the part of his body, which has been dead for many years, begins to feel like he wants to "look up" again.
This is the greatest interest of the old duke, but as a nobleman with the oldest noble blood, he certainly will not act in rudely because of his little interest, especially in front of guests.
Two other people sat next to the old duke, one was very young and handsome like the stars in the sky, while the other looked a little older than the old duke, and was filled with a dead spirit that even thicker cosmetics could not completely cover up. But no matter what, being able to sit here with the old duke and enjoy this incredibly expensive gladiator performance means that the two guests will never be ordinary.
"Lao Ba, the young man you trained is very good. He can have the strength of a fourth-level general at a young age. It is rare that he has a beautiful face and is destroyed like this. Don't you feel sorry for it? No matter how I look at it, he can't be the opponent of the four taurens I brought. Although he has good potential, he is not the fifth-level war king now."
As soon as the old man was about to die, the old man could almost feel the heartache and sorrow coming from the chair under him. This was not impossible, because the imperial concubine did not really die, or it could not be considered dead. She was just processed by the necromancer magic and became a "strange object" between life and death, not considered a living person or a dead person. From a certain perspective, she even had semi-permanent youth and immortality.
"The beautiful and perfect thing is the most exciting moment when it is completely destroyed. Don't you think so? Master Barcelona..." The old man had a smile on his face. Although he was answering the old Barcelona beside him, his eyes turned to the young man beside him and said with a chuckling: "Your Highness Davis, I believe your father, our great Majesty Durothal, will definitely agree with my idea, because in my opinion, he has done better than me in this regard. I have prepared for more than three years for this performance today, and the Majesty, who publicly slaughtered the No. 1 beauty in the mainland in order to destroy the charming gem, how long has he prepared?"
The young man sitting next to the old duke suddenly became the first heir to the current imperial throne, the crown prince of the empire, Davis Nibelungen.
Facing the naked temptation of the old duke, Prince Davis only smiled faintly and said, "That Earl Amanda, although he is indeed a little famous, is only from a humble executioner family. Not to mention ancient and noble blood, strictly speaking, he cannot even be considered a true nobleman. It is just because of my father's favor that he has given him a status and rights that are completely inconsistent with his identity. Now, my father wants to take back that glory, and he doesn't think he will have any complaints."
"But, why did I hear that the humble executioner family, those little guys named Xiuwen, have been uneasy recently. It is rare that His Majesty will give their family such a noble honor as "family stain", but they have failed His Majesty's trust and are trying to do something."
Davis frowned. He was invited to enjoy the gladiatorial performance. Although he had guessed that these old guys must have made some attempts, he did not expect it to be so direct. Obviously, the Skeleton Society had mastered something important and was no longer satisfied with just acting as a spectator in this imperial capital storm.
The imperial royal family has always loved and hated it. The reason why they love it is because almost every emperor who successfully ascended the Supreme Throne has the shadow of the oldest secret society of the empire, the "Skull and Bones Society". The reason why they hate him is because any imperial emperor, even the tyrant of the terror of the throne, cannot escape the various constraints and interferences of the Skull and Bones Society. Even if Emperor Durothal is one of the few competitors who have defeated the throne that the Skull and Bones Society has successfully ascended the throne, he has the same fate.
A mere lower-level count who was born as an executioner, even though he was deeply favored by the emperor, was once powerful and arrogant, but in the eyes of the shadow bosses of the Skeleton Society, he was just a clown. There were countless such small figures in the history of the empire. Their rise and destruction were like a brilliant firework in the eyes of these Skeleton Society bosses. But now old Balzac was actually biting Count Amanda and biting the executioner Xiuwen family. Even Prince Davis began to doubt whether these old guys had special information that they didn't even know.
But as mentioned before, the transfer of the imperial throne was almost impossible to escape the interference of the Skeleton Society. His first heir to the throne seemed to be only a small step away from the supreme throne, that is, the death of the tyrant of the terror of the Emperor.
However, Prince Davis knew very well how he got the first pick. After Emperor Durothal ascended the throne, three "first pick heirs" appeared in front of Prince Davis, two uncles and one sister, but they could not survive the death of the tyrant of the emperor. Of course, Davis did not want to be the "former" or the "fourth" heir, so he could only choose to accept the olive branch that these old monsters actively handed him.
After making a decision in his heart, Davis said slowly: "In fact, to be honest, even I can't figure out what my father is thinking. It's okay to favor an executioner, but he is actually preparing to formally marry that kind of 'thing' as the mother of a country. In my opinion, even if he is already called the 'crazy king' and 'tyrant' behind his back, he is really a bit hasty in dealing with this matter."
Prince Davis was gambling and defeated the candidates for the throne supported by the Skeleton Society. Emperor Durottal, who successfully ascended the throne, has always been a thorn in his side with the Skeleton Society. In recent years, Emperor Durottal has indeed used almost crazy methods, but he just could reach the tolerance limit of the Skeleton Society, to eliminate several official members of the Skeleton Society. The person with the fake hands was the Earl of Amanda Xiuwen. Even the aristocratic circle in the capital unanimously agreed that Amanda's public execution was the sacrifice made by the Emperor to calm the Skeleton Society's anger.
If Prince Davis wants to successfully ascend the throne, there are only two ways to choose. One is to win the love and trust of the emperor's father, and the other is to gain the support of the Skeleton and Bones Society.
Originally, the first choice was the safest, but Davis had an indescribable fear in his heart for the father who had many negative titles. This fear not only came from the father's bloodthirsty and madness, but also from Davis' incomprehension and unpredictable behavior of his father.
It seems that any common sense, nothing "taken for granted" can be applied to his father. Everything that Emperor Durothal did is very similar to the judgments made by analysts raised by the nobles, and this also includes Prince Davis.
Instead of taking the risk of backfiring and accidentally angering the emperor to attract his father's favor and attention, it is better to turn to the oldest secret society in the empire. Anyway, the thoughts in the hearts of these immortals, their desires and purposes are clearly written on their faces. Compared with successfully sitting on the chair that symbolizes supreme power, even if you compromise with these old bastards in the future, giving up some of the royal interests is not something intolerable.
