More than three hours later, Rogge and the others arrived at Xandar from Nothingness.
Originally, it only took more than an hour to travel from Nothingness to Xandar, and there were enough space jump points between the two places.
The problem was with the pilots. Neither Natasha nor Scott had any experience in flying small spaceships.
Although Rogge had experience flying a small Dark Elf fighter, a fighter was not the same as an interstellar spaceship, and the manufacturers of the two were completely different.
So before they set off, they had to take a temporary spaceship driving course.
Fortunately, Rogge was an experienced pilot. With his past experience and reasonable guesses, or rather recklessness, he successfully learned how to fly a spaceship.
Although it was not perfect, he still managed to drive the spaceship to Xandar and land it at the docking port.
Haldon City, according to Xandar's evaluation standards, was a first-class city only one level lower than the capital.
According to the information provided by the collector, the Rope Hunters who kidnapped Banner had just arrived in Haldon City a day ago.
Although Rogge and the others did not have any legal identification documents, they did not have any wanted or bad records, so under the charm of money, they successfully obtained four temporary identification documents.
That's right, four. Even Blackie needed to get an identification document.
Blackie in the form of the Northern Frost Blade could fool ordinary people, but he could not fool the port's immigration scanners. Therefore, on the immigration records, Blackie was a creature that must be identified, not an item.
"Where are we going next?"
Scott was still wearing his classic Ant-Man uniform, and he did not even take off his helmet.
According to him, he was worried that the air here would contain substances harmful to humans.
However, in Rogge's view, Scott was not worried about the air being harmful, but he did not want Blackie to continue ravaging his hair.
"Let's find a place to check in first, and then exchange these things for New Star Coins."
Except for the small spaceship, Rogge's other winnings could not be directly exchanged for New Star Coins, the common currency of Xandar.
Therefore, whether it was to find Banner or for their own journey, they needed to exchange the things in their hands for New Star Coins.
Rogge originally intended to give these things to the Collector directly, but unfortunately, the Collector had no interest in them.
Because of the New Star Army, Xandar was more orderly than most planets in the universe, and the civilization level of the inhabitants was also higher.
If the civilization of the inhabitants of the Land of Nothingness was equivalent to the Middle Ages on Earth, then the civilization of the inhabitants of Xandar was equivalent to the 21st century on Earth.
And to a certain extent, Xandar was a bit like Earth after the rapid advancement of technology.
However, as the collector said, the brighter the place, the easier it was for darkness to breed.
Even Xandar, with its perfect laws and strict order, had an inescapable dark side.
Rogge, on the other hand, was very good at dealing with these dark forces hidden in the shadows.
In a certain black market that was not welcomed by the officials, Rogge successfully exchanged the spoils in his hand for Nova Coins and exchanged them for a number that satisfied him.
132.68 million New Star Coins!
Rogge had just inquired that the most expensive suite in the most luxurious hotel in Halton City was only 100,000 New Star Coins per night.
So, he was not dissatisfied with this number.
In addition to solving the financial problem in the black market, Rogge and the others also successfully inquired about the Rope Hunters.
To be precise, it was Natasha who inquired about it.
People who could not control their rationality in the face of beauty were not only on Earth, but also on Xandar.
"The Rope Hunters just arrived yesterday. I heard that they sold a few good prey. In tonight's Bloody Gladiator, one of the Rope Hunters' prey will be fighting. I got four tickets," Natasha said calmly.
At the same time, she took out four black tickets with only a red skull and a string of numbers printed on them.
"Then let's go take a look tonight. If everything goes well, we might be able to return to Earth tomorrow."
Although that was what he said, Rogge did not think that they would be so lucky.
The fact that the Rope Hunters could make a name for themselves in this industry was enough to prove that they were not rookies.
Rogge had read the information provided by the collector. Although the Rope Catchers were just a group of slave hunters, their strength was not inferior to a regular army. In fact, they were even a bit stronger.
If not, they would have been wiped out by the armies of other planets long ago.
Xandar's environment was very similar to Earth. Not only did the rotation time was similar, even the gravity and air were similar.
What surprised Rogge even more was that Xandar, which was a technological civilization, had a high concentration of natural energy.
Although the concentration of natural energy was not as high as Asgard or Warnerheim, it was still not bad. It was at least a few times higher than Earth's.
When night fell, Rogge and the other three arrived at the venue of the Bloody Gladiator.
The Bloody Gladiator in Halton City was quite famous in the underworld of Xandar.
The organizers behind it were said to be the upper echelons of Halton City.
As for whether the organizers were the upper echelons of Halton City, there was no definite conclusion.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that the Bloody Gladiator in Halton City had never been stopped by the New Star Army.
Excitement and safety were the main reasons why the Bloody Gladiator in Halton City was famous in the underworld.
After handing the tickets to the guard, Rogge and the other three successfully entered the venue of the Bloody Gladiator. It was an underground bar in the city.
Before entering the bar, Rogge and the other three received four identical white masks.
The masks were very ordinary. There was nothing special about them. It was just an ordinary white mask.
Every audience member would receive a mask like this when they entered the venue.
According to the organizers, wearing the masks was to protect the privacy of the audience.
After all, no one would want to be recognized in the Bloody Gladiator, especially on a planet that pursued civilization like Xandar.
The underground bar was larger than Rogge imagined. It was almost the size of a basketball court.
The dance floor in the middle of the bar was modified into a special ring. There were metal pillars as thick as an arm around the ring. They looked like fences for the ring.
All the audience members wore white masks. They were either sitting at the table or standing by the ring. Some were whispering, some were silent …
"Welcome to the Bloody Gladiator!
"Tonight, you will enjoy a fight for survival where fists meet flesh and blood splatter everywhere. Tonight, you will see the light of life bursting forth from living creatures under the threat of death. Tonight, you will hear painful howls that will cause you to be unable to sleep for the entire night …
"Now, let us welcome the two protagonists of tonight. They are the undisputed superstars of tonight!"
The host in an unknown corner was frantically stirring up the audience's emotions. At the same time, he did not forget to remind the audience not to miss the final betting time.
Rogge also received a betting slip from a waitress who was wearing an alluring outfit but a red mask that covered half of her face.
Although he did not understand Xandar's language, it was not a problem on the technologically advanced Xandar.
A real-time translation system could solve all the problems.
After putting on the real-time translation glasses he bought and adjusting his language to Earth's English, which was rare but still included in the dictionary, Rogge casually browsed through the contents of the betting slip.
Although there was only one gladiator battle, the contents of the betting slip were extremely rich.
In addition to the simple victory and defeat, there were also bets on how many minutes the battle would end, whether the defeated party would live or die, whether they would be crippled or seriously injured, and even how many fingers would be lost in total.
Depending on the content of the bet, the odds were completely different. Even for the simplest bet, the odds were not one to one.
On the betting slip, there was also a general introduction of tonight's contestants.
One was a four-armed ape of an unknown race, and the other was a human.
Of course, the human here was not an Earthling, but an Asari.
