At this moment, the people in the blacksmith shop had not left yet.
Chen Cheng checked the blacksmith's wounds and found that Glaze was fine. There was only a red mark where he had been hit by Ren Xiaosu just now.
"Are you really alright?" Chen Cheng asked.
Glaze nodded. "The opponent's attack was very precise. At that moment, I felt suffocated, chest tightness, and coughed non-stop. But soon, I was alright. Trust me, this requires great control over your body. Even the most powerful gladiator in Ghent City might not be able to do that. "
This blacksmith, Glaze, used to be a gladiator in Ghent City. There were two types of gladiators in Ghent City.
The first type were the servants and attendants of wizard families. Since wizards were unwilling to take the risk of fighting, they would send gladiators to represent them and fight for glory for their families.
It sounded nice, but it was just to provide more exciting gambling entertainment for the wizards.
The wizard who won would take away half of the prize pool, while the other half would be reserved for the bets.
The first type of gladiators enjoyed the glory brought by wizards and fought for them. However, if they were defeated, they would immediately be abandoned by the wizards.
The second type of gladiators were civilians who had no choice but to become gladiators. Perhaps they had lost money in gambling, or perhaps they were in urgent need of money. Either way, they were willing to sell themselves to the arena.
They would fight non-stop there until they died.
Glaze was a blacksmith. In order to raise money for his father's medical treatment, he became a gladiator. He was also one of the most famous gladiators in Ghent City at that time.
Later on, he was rescued by the leader of the bounty hunter organization and arranged to guard a safe house in Vaduz Castle.
Glaze was very grateful to the leader of the bounty hunter organization and enjoyed his current comfortable life.
However, enjoying a comfortable life didn't mean that his fighting ability had been wasted. In fact, Glaze believed that if he returned to the arena, he would still be able to win every single battle.
In the end, the confident Glaze was beaten by Ren Xiaosu to the point that he couldn't fight back at all.
Glaze said, "The opponent used my most confident fighting method and easily destroyed my confidence."
Chen Cheng and An An looked at each other. "Is it because you weren't prepared for his sudden attack?"
"No," Glaze said, "I'm sure that even if I'm on guard, he has the ability to eliminate my battle strength in a split second."
After saying this, Glaze wrote a few lines of words on a piece of paper before going to the pigeon cage in the backyard to take out a carrier pigeon and tie it to it. He then told An 'an, "We can't release the carrier pigeon yet. We have to wait until the carrier pigeons near the Cathedral are released tomorrow morning. By then, the carrier pigeon will mix with them and avoid people's attention."
"Yes," An 'an nodded.
Glaze suddenly asked, "What's wrong with this teenager? Why is there such a powerful master?"
"What's so great about that? When the bandits attacked the caravan, didn't he hide behind the carriage with Mego and not dare to move?"
"Really?" Glaze asked doubtfully. "Judging from his fighting skills, it shouldn't be difficult for him to deal with the bandits."
"Strength is one thing, courage is another." An 'an was very angry. It was a little too humiliating to be lifted up like a quail just now. She knew very well that what she said was said out of anger, but she couldn't help but want to say something …
At this time, a voice drifted in from outside the blacksmith shop. "Are you talking about me?"
"Ah!" An 'an turned around and was shocked to see Ren Xiaosu standing outside the door. "Why are you back?"
It was too embarrassing to be overheard when you were talking bad about someone else!
Of course, Ren Xiaosu couldn't say that he was lost, so he explained with a smile, "I'm worried that you two bounty hunters would be captured by the Berkley Family, so I came back to escort you. Are you touched?"
An 'an complained, "As if I believe you. You're afraid that we'll tell on you!"
"I'm really not afraid of that." Ren Xiaosu said, "Let's go, I'm in a hurry to eat."
Chen Cheng and An 'an glanced at the swords against their necks and chose to swallow their anger.
Seeing that the two sides had finally reached an agreement, Ren Xiaosu returned the two swords to Glaze.
On the way back, the talkative Chen Cheng suddenly asked, "What's the situation in Middle Earth now? I heard that Middle Earth is still very weak. "
"Weak?" Ren Xiaosu smiled. "So 17 years ago, it was the so-called weak Fortress 178 that defeated the army of the Sorcerer Nation?"
"Defeated?" Chen Cheng was stunned. "Didn't the royal army win?"
Ren Xiaosu sneered. "Who said that?"
"The royal family announced it to the public. They said they taught Fortress 178 a lesson in blood. However, the royal family was merciful this time, so they didn't kill too many people," Chen Cheng replied.
"They're really shameless. How dare they make up stories like that?" Ren Xiaosu said.
Fortress 178 had always been weak in the past. After all, the revival of the military industry had only happened in recent decades.
But once the military industry in Middle Earth was revived, it would definitely not be something that the Sorcerer Nation could contend against. Although the war 17 years ago was tragic, Fortress 178 had indeed emerged victorious.
Meanwhile, in order to maintain their reputation, the Sorcerer Nation and the Sorcerer Nation's royal family chose to tamper with the outcome of the war and insist that they had won.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Chen Cheng and said, "Middle Earth won the war 17 years ago, and it's much more powerful than you can imagine. Not to mention the military, just the basic industries and the infrastructure of the cities there are already miles ahead of the Sorcerer Nation. "
Chen Cheng said longingly, "Father has also mentioned Middle Earth in the past. It would be great if I had the chance to visit it."
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "When I figure out what's going on with your organization, I might even be able to get you all to visit Fortress 178's Northwest culture together."
An 'an suddenly asked, "What's your status in Middle Earth?"
Ren Xiaosu grinned and said, "Me? I'm just a normal volunteer for the Northwest Development. "
"You're full of lies." An 'an muttered, "By the way, why did you suddenly turn back here?"
Ren Xiaosu said in all seriousness, "Vaduz is an important town in the South, so I was really worried that something might happen to the two of you."
An 'an said suspiciously, "Don't tell me you don't know where the relay station is?"
"Hahahahaha, how could that be?" Ren Xiaosu laughed and said, "I, Ren Xiaosu, have traveled the world. How could I possibly make such a low-level mistake?"
An 'an immediately confirmed that this guy had indeed turned back because he did not know where the relay station was. He was using her and Chen Cheng as his tour guide!
