In First Heart City, the number of people on the streets was much sparser than before. Almost half of the city was empty.
Everyone was heading to the Pillar Colosseum located in the southern part of the city.
Angor found the colosseum in a remote town located in the Central Empire of the Land of Revelation. It covered a large area, comparable to the Ocean Theater. The whole building was made of white granite in the shape of a bird's nest, but it was surrounded by many round stone pillars of different heights. The stone pillars were also engraved with exquisite animal statues. It looked not only shocking, but also had a pure white beauty.
This was why it was called the Pillar Colosseum.
The colosseum was originally used for watching animal fights. However, there were no animals in Foundation City. Since the colosseum was large enough, it became a place for residents to settle their personal grudges and duels.
Today, there was a battle happening in the colosseum that almost every citizen of Foundation City was interested in: Sheriff Torras versus City Guard Captain Sabelle.
The colosseum could hold up to a thousand people, and more than 70% of the seats were already occupied by the crowd.
When Angor and Leon arrived, all the good viewing spots were already occupied.
Angor only came here to accompany his brother and to check out Knight Sabelle, who was said to have killed a supernatural. He wasn't that curious about the fight, so he didn't really care where he watched.
Besides, he had God's Eye, which allowed him to observe the fight even if he wasn't in the colosseum.
They chose a quiet spot with fewer people and looked down at the center of the colosseum from above.
The fight hadn't started yet, but the atmosphere was already very lively. Angor and Leon were still far away from the center of the crowd, but they could still hear the chatter from the crowd.
A bespectacled young man expressed his opinion. "I support Knight Saber more. He's more stable. He uses the most basic techniques to fight steadily and surely."
"But Sheriff Torras showed off his abs," said a girl beside him. A little fangirl beside the bespectacled man replied. The little fangirl's eyes were looking up, and she seemed to be swallowing saliva. Clearly, she was recalling Torras's eight-pack abs that were like a washboard.
"Knight Sabelle has abs too!"
"But Captain Sabelle always wears armor. We can't see them."
"It's called uniform seduction!"
"If he's 40 or 50 years younger, you'll find that word. He already has a bunch of white beards, and he's still trying to seduce me! "The little fangirl said disdainfully.
"Torras is someone who only knows how to show off and act cool just to attract women like you. He's not as good as the low-key Saber Knight!"
"But I like people who show off their skills. The most important thing is that he has abs and looks good. "
For the skinny, ordinary-looking bespectacled man, this was a critical blow. He clutched his chest with a hurt expression.
The "couple" was nearby, so Angor was able to hear the whole thing.
The reason why she thought they were a couple was because … Which couple would deliberately choose a secluded place to watch a fight? Moreover, there was no one else around, and they were the only ones sitting together? Moreover, although they seemed to be bickering, the atmosphere brewing inside was actually filled with all sorts of pink bubbles.
Angor felt that the man was right about one thing. Torras was the kind of person who liked to show off his skills. However, it was wrong to say that he did it for the sake of attracting women. He simply liked to show off his small achievements.
If Torras really won this fight, he would definitely brag about it for half a year. He would probably change his catchphrase of "killing Red Beard in seconds" to "crushing Sabelle".
To prevent his ears from being poisoned, Angor decided to side with Saber Knight, who sounded like he was getting old but was more mature before the battle began.
When Leon's eyes began to glow, Angor suddenly froze.
"I need to leave for a while," he said to Leon in a soft voice.
Under Leon's puzzled gaze, Angor walked to a secluded spot outside the colosseum. At the same time, he moved his lips and used nightmare energy to transmit his voice to the distant wilderness.
After a long while, an illusory shadow suddenly appeared in this empty corner. But soon, the illusory shadow gradually condensed into a solid body.
It was Sunders, who was wearing a black gentleman's suit.
Back in the colosseum, he sensed Sunders entering the dream wasteland. However, since Sunders left the dream wasteland and returned to the real world, Angor was still in the middle of the endless wasteland.
Sunders couldn't use any mana in the dream wasteland, so it was basically impossible for him to return to Foundation City.
Fortunately, Angor sensed that Sunders was "online", so he quickly went to a secluded spot and asked Sunders to enter the dream again.
When Sunders entered the dream again, Angor used the Dream Gate to summon Sunders to Foundation City.
"Did something happen again, professor?" Angor quickly asked. "Did Roland do something again?"
"Nothing." Sunders shook his head. "We're on our way back. We don't want to face Thewis, so we came here to check on him."
Angor could already imagine Sunders and Thewis looking at each other awkwardly without saying anything to each other.
"I see." Angor nodded with a serious look.
"What's this place? It's so crowded here." Sunders also noticed their surroundings. They were in a secluded spot, but he could still hear loud noises coming from the other side.
"The Colosseum," Angor quickly explained the situation.
"More than half of Foundation City's residents are here to watch the duel? That's interesting. "
"Do you want to check it out, professor?"
Sunders nodded nonchalantly. "I don't have anything to do anyway. Let's check it out."
Angor led Sunders to the colosseum. When they reached the entrance, they could still see a large number of people rushing toward the colosseum. It was obvious that the residents of Foundation City didn't have much time for entertainment these days.
On their way to the audience seats, Angor whispered to Sunders, "I think I can only log into the dream wasteland from where I left it last time. That's a bit troublesome. If I can share the authority of the Dream Gate with you, professor, I won't have to worry about not being able to return to the city. "
However, if he wanted to share the authority with someone else, he could only do so when he fused with his own authority. Other than that, he couldn't do it easily.
"Foundation City is the only city we have right now, so it's fine. If you can use your mana pool in the dream wasteland in the future, you won't have to worry about the distance. You can even set up teleportation portals in different places. You can use the Dream Whelk to send you teleportation runes and materials. But you'll need the help of a space wizard to locate your destination. "
Angor nodded. "I guess that's the only way."
Still, Angor planned to go back and see if there was another way to share the authority with Sunders. Even if he couldn't do it now, there should be something similar inside his Nightmare Domain.
Soon, they returned to the audience seats.
When Angor was about to go find Leon, he noticed that the place he thought was quiet was now filled with people. Torras, one of the participants of the duel and the current sheriff of Foundation City, was talking to Leon.
Leon also noticed Angor's presence. He was about to greet Torras when he noticed Sunders standing behind Angor.
Didn't Mister Phantom go with Sunders to capture Roland? Why is he here? Did Sunders go back to his manor?
Torras turned to look at the newcomer as his thoughts churned in his head.
His eyes lit up as he approached Angor with a grin.
"Sir, are you here to see how I defeat Knight Swindler?" Torras looked excited. "With your support, I'm sure I'll beat him to a pulp!"
I'm not here to cheer you up. I'm here to see you lose.
However, on the surface, he still said calmly, "Are you still calling Knight Saber a liar? If I remember correctly, you lost one round to him. "
Torras' expression froze. After a while, he laughed and said, "I-I … I … I … I … I … I let him do it! Yes, I lost to him! He's an old man in his seventies. What if I beat him 2-0 and he can't take it anymore? "
Angor didn't bother to correct Torras' expression. "If I remember correctly, you're at least ten times older than Knight Saber, aren't you?"
Torras, whose age was a mystery, twitched his mouth and fell silent.
Angor walked around Torras and was about to take a seat when Torras interrupted him. "Sir, we're too far away from the arena. We can't watch — ahem — my heroic performance. Let's go to the front row. There are judges there. Leon was the judge for the last two rounds. Since you're here, sir, please join us. I'm sure you won't be biased, sir! "
Angor really wanted to tell Torras that he already had a bias in mind.
Angor was about to refuse, but there were too many people around him. He didn't mind if it was crowded, but Sunders was here. With that in mind, he looked at Sunders. "Professor, there are too many people here. Shall we go to the judges' seats?"
Sunders nodded noncommittally.
Torras finally noticed the tall man behind Angor. He lowered the brim of his hat and looked at Angor.
Torras stammered when he saw Sunders' face. "Mister Sunders …"
"Don't shout. Take us to our seats first."
Torras quickly nodded and signaled for them to follow.
Angor called Leon, who was still in a daze, and followed Torras to the arena.
Their movement attracted everyone's attention. Leon used to be a fair judge, so most people knew who Angor and Sunders were. However, not many people knew who Angor and Sunders were.
But judging from how respectful Torras was to them, they couldn't be ordinary people.
Everyone began to guess who they were.
Even Torras's opponent, Knight Saber, had noticed them.
