Alien Knights

"Boss, tomorrow's gladiatorial announcement has been officially released."

Ackerman's respectful appearance made Todd a little uncomfortable. The latter wiped the shield gently, lowered his head and asked casually: "How is the process arranged?"

"In the first few games, there was nothing new, and they were all appetizers as usual; next, there will be several members of "Red Branch" who need to participate in individual confrontations and duels. As for the finale, the announcement said..."

Finding that the other party stopped talking suddenly, Todd looked up at Ackerman: "What did you say?"

"This will be a shocking battle that has never been seen in the "Red Circle". Many top gladiators will fight on the same stage." Ackerman said in a doubtful tone. After saying this, he shook his head and said, "I always feel that the last gladiator fight is a conspiracy."

Kasper rubbed his stubbled chin and pondered: "From the literal point of view, the first-rate gladiators in the "Red Circle" will be dispatched in full force in this final battle. There should be Cotton the Giant of the Riven Mountain, Bethan the Sly Fox, Deirdre the Lady of Pain...Of course, Lord Boyle will also be included."

Ackerman said in surprise: "Could it be that these three people besieged the boss?!"

Casper thought for a moment, then denied this possibility: "The previous "ten vs. one" gladiatorial fight had an extremely bad impact on the entire Ulster Kingdom. Even if the king acted recklessly, it was impossible for the king to do a similar "strangling" again."

Ackerman thought for a while, and made a guess that he couldn't believe: "So, the last battle should be a fair battle?"

Kasper pounded his knees with his fist. "At least it looks like it should be a fair game."

Hearing this, Ackerman whispered to Todd: "Boss, please be careful of Cotton the Giant of the Cracking Mountain and Besson the Sly Fox. According to the reviews of other gladiators, these two are extremely hostile to you."

Todd was a little curious: "What did I do to make them hate me so much?"

Ackerman lowered his volume: "Think about it, since the establishment of the "Red Branch Gladiator Association", you have used combat performances and "artificial blood" as rewards to absorb more than half of the fighters in the entire arena. There are many people here, who originally belonged to other factions. You poach them here. Such behavior will naturally not win the goodwill of other faction leaders. I heard that "Cracking Mountain Giant" Cotton and "Sly Fox" Besson have secretly attracted a group of people who are hostile to "battle performances" and advocate tradition The die-hards are planning to harm you..."

Seeing Todd's calm face, Ackerman suddenly remembered something, and patted his forehead with relief: "Look what I'm worried about! You are a god in this world, so naturally you won't worry..."

Casper coughed heavily when he heard this.

Ackerman shut his mouth embarrassingly, lowered his head at a loss.

Todd looked at the pair with a smile, and asked in a relaxed tone: "If, I mean, if you were given a chance to acquire a god's ability, how would you choose?"

Casper thought for a while, and said, "I hope to obtain infinite power, so that I can be invincible on the battlefield."

Todd nodded, then shifted his gaze to the tangled Ackerman: "What about you?"

"Can I only choose one?"

"That's right."

"Then I want to gain the ability to be invisible."

After hearing Ackerman's answer, Todd was a little surprised. Originally, he guessed that what this guy wanted was the ability of "turning stones into gold" and "staying young forever".

"The ability to be invisible is indeed very convenient. You can become a master assassin and infiltrate anywhere." Todd nodded in affirmation.

Ackerman waved his hands again and again, denying Todd's guess: "No, no, Lord Boyle, you misunderstood! I want the ability to be invisible, not to be an assassin."

"Then you want to?"

"When I was young, I hadn't inherited my father's position as the village head, so I had a lot of time to squander every day. At that time, my favorite thing to do was to go to the mountain spring near the village and hide in the grass and wait for the prey to come."

Listening to Ackerman's words, Todd said suspiciously: "So, the invisible ability is for hunting?"

"The prey he was referring to was the woman who came to take a bath!" Caspar rolled his eyes and explained the truth.

Todd opened his eyes and gasped.

Ackerman completely ignored the expressions of the two people in front of him, and said with an intoxicated look: "It was a wonderful time, and I saw all kinds of women every day, and their graceful bodies..."

Todd closed his eyes, his face full of distress.

Ackerman didn't seem to have the slightest intention of shutting up, and the next words made Todd terrified: "I heard from the merchant that in the far south, there is a seaport kingdom called Muxi, and the people there have recently built a breathtaking public bath after the ancient Taylor period. If I can become invisible, I can stay in the women's bath for a year... That's right! Do you like breasts or hips? Personally, I prefer hips. The perfect hip ratio should be like..."

"Casper, shut up this guy!"

"okay!"

That night, in the soul space, Todd met with the "Red Branch" contact person and the tribal contact person respectively, and once again arranged for tomorrow's escape. After that, he summoned Rachel into the institute.

Todd looked at Rachel who was eating sushi platter in front of him, frowned and asked, "Fiocha and his father Fergus are both under house arrest, aren't they?"

"That's right, what happened yesterday. The king trapped the father and son at home in the name of protection, and sent someone to temporarily take over the arena." Stuffing a piece of salmon roe sushi into her mouth, Rachel's face was filled with a happy smile: "This taste, this taste is amazing! You can eat all kinds of delicacies every day. The world you live in is simply a food paradise!"

Rachel was deeply moved by the food, which made Todd laugh: "What do these count? My hometown has eight major cuisines, 24 cooking methods, and more than 7,200 recipes. Frying, frying, frying, steaming, roasting, mixing, every method, every taste, can make you forget everything."

"Really? Even once, I really want to visit that world!"

Rachel's heartfelt speech caused the smile to slowly disappear from Todd's face, and the latter showed a desolate look, and an emotion called loneliness lingered in his eyes.

Rachel was stunned for a moment, then gently grabbed Todd's palm with a concerned expression on her face.

"I believe there will be a day when I will take you to another world and eat every delicacy in the streets and alleys. There will be no more darkness, no more confusion..." Todd smiled at Rachel, and patted the back of her hand with his other hand.
