Jun Shutong looked at the building that looked like a bird's nest, and his mouth opened into an O shape.
This appearance seemed familiar to her no matter how she looked at it.
In the past, when I passed by from a distance, I could see a small part of the building's exterior. Because it was a place of blood and violence, this Colosseum was built on the outskirts of the royal capital.
There are many towering trees around the venue, and if you don't get close, you can't see the whole picture of the Colosseum.
[System, is this the Colosseum or the Bird's Nest? Why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?]
[Host, this seems to be a combination of the two, European-style ancient Roman architecture, integrated with modern elements of Blue Star, which is why you feel familiar with it.]
【Traveler.】
【Reborn.】
Everyone spoke in unison, all thinking of the same possibility, and this was the only possibility.
As they were talking, the grandfather and grandson had already arrived at the entrance of the Colosseum.
"Please show me your invitation card and proof of identity."
The guard at the door smiled and asked the two to show their identification. If there was no problem, they could continue inside.
Security check?
"Grandma, is this the Colosseum?"
"Why is it so strange?"
The old lady knew that what her granddaughter meant by strange was the appearance of the house and the services here.
Looking at her granddaughter's exaggerated expression, the old lady laughed and said:
“I didn’t expect that there are things that our Jun family’s little goddess doesn’t know.”
"Grandma, is the badge you just handed to the guard your identification?"
"Yes, this sign is engraved with the Jun family's unique mark, and no one else can imitate it."
"Look, the smallest line of characters below is the unique mark of the Jun family."
After the old lady finished speaking, she showed it to her granddaughter.
Written on the thin card was this: "For use exclusively at the Royal Colosseum. The larger pattern in the middle is the symbol of the Great Yu Kingdom. The bottom is where Jun Shutong is uneasy."
"DA YU GUO"
【ID card. 】
It’s confirmed, the person who built the Colosseum was a time traveler.
The old lady continued, "This Colosseum was not originally built by Dayu, but by the previous Pope and his subordinates."
"The previous Pope's maternal family was the royal family of the Dayu Kingdom, that is, the Edward family. He moved to the Holy See after he ascended the throne, until he disappeared for no apparent reason."
"disappear?"
Jun Shutong grasped the key point: "How could he disappear? What does it mean? Did he die or go to see God?"
The old lady gently poked her granddaughter's forehead and said speechlessly, "In the future, you are not allowed to say these things in front of outsiders. This is disrespectful to the Pope, understand?"
Jun Shutong shrank his neck and nodded obediently.
"The previous Pope did a lot for this continent. You will understand in the future."
"What does it mean that the Pope disappeared?"
Jun Shutong really didn't understand.
The old lady continued, "The Pope disappeared, literally. No one knew where he went. He simply disappeared in public."
"Legend has it that nine glowing spheres appeared in the sky. Simultaneously, the jade pendant on the Pope's chest also emitted the same radiant light. Then, the Pope vanished before everyone's eyes, and the nine glowing spheres vanished with him, too. They haven't been seen since."
【Nine stars in a row.】
【Nine stars in a row.】
They all spoke in unison, and the old lady understood. Perhaps, only her granddaughter knew where the previous Pope had gone.
Leaving behind such a building and then disappearing in public can only mean that the previous Pope returned to his original world or traveled to another dimension.
Another point is that the previous Pope was an incredible architectural genius. He had brains, a jade pendant, and luck, so it is not impossible for him to go back in time.
Yes, after all the conditions are met, it still depends on luck. The nine stars in a row will not appear just like that.
The grandfather and grandson came to the Jun family's exclusive seat and sat down. Maids in uniform brought tea, snacks, and various snacks that children loved to eat.
Jun Shutong stroked the little fox with one hand and ate cakes with the other, looking around the entire venue leisurely.
The entire Colosseum is circular in shape, with many steps similar to a modern gymnasium. There is an iron gate at each corner of the east, west, south and north walls, which must be where challengers enter and exit.
There is a one-meter-high iron railing in front of each row of steps, with spikes embedded on the top of the railing, which should be a protective measure.
The Jun family's location is in the middle of the steps, facing the center of the venue, which is considered the best location.
Looking around, the seats on both sides of the Jun family's house were empty, but many people came in from the bottom and the back. Judging from their clothes, they were either wealthy businessmen or powerful people.
No wonder, those who can sit in this position must be attending court at this time!
The little fox in Jun Shutong's arms seemed extremely restless since it came in. It just sniffed the cakes it usually loved to eat and turned its head away. It used its little paws to dig at her clothes pockets, trying to get in as if it was frightened.
After smoothing the little guy's fur, Jun Shutong put it directly into his arms and patted it affectionately.
"Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you."
She roughly guessed why. The little fox must have smelled the scent of its own kind, and it was a bloody and deadly smell, so it felt scared.
[Damn it, didn't that bastard say he picked up the little fox from the Mysterious Beast Forest? Looks like there's something else going on.]
[Host, I've checked. The little fox can be considered a mysterious beast, but it doesn't come from the Mysterious Beast Forest.]
How do you say it?
The little fox was born in the Colosseum, and was then sent to Siam as a gift by Fujiwara no Koin. The Siamese envoy then brought it to Dayu as a bargaining chip.
[Hmph, old man, don't let me see you again next time, otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you.]
After going around in circles, the little fox finally returned to the place that it feared. The difference was that now it was no longer a bargaining chip for people's entertainment, it had a good home.
The Colosseum was a legal venue created by the powerful and the royal family. It was a playground and den of infamy for the upper class, and also a place where the lower class provided entertainment for the powerful and sold their lives for money.
There are also some places similar to modern underground boxing places. This place is called the Colosseum. Not only humans and mysterious beasts can participate in the competition, but also various other rare and exotic beasts, slaves and orcs.
Some people who are good at martial arts and in urgent need of money will also come here to participate in the competition. They gamble their lives in exchange for huge bonuses. These people are called free men.
Among them, slaves and orcs have no indentures and no memories. They are fed a large amount of transformation drugs to achieve the effect of losing their memories and intelligence, and finally become walking corpses who only know how to obey orders and kill.
There are also orcs with strong wills and bodies. They have antibodies to these potions, and those who disobey will be ruthlessly wiped out.
The Colosseum doesn't keep idle people.
Of course, in addition to betting, you can also buy and sell here. If you like something, you can buy it, but the price is slightly higher than outside.
"Grandma, when does the game start?"
“Who is competing with whom?”
