Many raised their eyebrows. It was strange that in the banquets and other events with the nobles these days, they would often hear them discussing the gossip of other families, but none of them mentioned any tidbit about Queen Kate.
"Puppet?"
Jia Luo was now a qualified butler. He no longer looked like a pretty boy. "I'm not sure about that, but it's been a long time since I've heard of any new political orders," Jia Luo said with a smile.
"Ignore politics?"
Many really admired the queen. A country could not be without a ruler for a day, and yet the ruler of this country did not care about the livelihood of the people, and even after decades, the country still did not collapse …
What a goddamn miracle.
Many people shook their heads in disbelief. Then, they walked out of the mansion and boarded the carriage. Jia Luo followed closely behind. His back was straight and he looked like a butler. Although the two of them didn't bring any extra servants with them, their aura was still very imposing.
Of course, they could not be exempted from this custom when they went out. More than a hundred 'free' guards lined up with a guard of honor and carriages from the entrance of the manor, and joined the caravan in the distance.
Today's destination was the colosseum in the Barra district. One of the nobles' activities was to enjoy the bloody and cruel battle between the grotesque beasts found from all over the world and the gladiators below the stage. Of course, there were all sorts of events in the colosseum, from gladiators fighting each other to beautiful and cheap female slaves being carried off the stage to a 'feast' that would make one's hair stand on end.
This kind of thing could satisfy the desires of the nobles who had nothing else to play with. Many of them came here for a simple reason — today was one of the few days when the arena was fully open to the public. In other words, people of different classes could sit in the same arena and enjoy these disgusting fights and competitions. Needless to say, there was another reason for this … Many of them came here to interact with the higher classes.
There was no need to describe how prosperous the dazzling array of carriages was, and the huge and wide roads seemed to be specially built for the nobles to flaunt their power. Many of the guards quietly shrank their formation and obediently lined up to enter the huge arena.
In their imagination, this huge arena should be similar to the grand theater in the Empire of Saint Reims. But when they came here, they realized that they were very wrong. The building before them exceeded the limits of their imagination: it was more than a hundred meters tall and covered more than a few square kilometers, and they could not help but wonder how much money these people had invested in building this breathtaking arena for so-called 'entertainment'.
In order to make it easier for the audience to watch, the arena was a pure circular structure. However, the radius was more than a mile. Many people couldn't understand how these people could see the ant-like gladiators on the ground from such a distance. However, what made them dumbfounded was that there was a huge crystal wall in the arena. The crystal wall was also pitch-black in color. However, after some intense magical waves flashed, the image of the center of the arena was clearly displayed on the crystal wall!
What the hell is this?!
Is this a live broadcast?!
Many of the audience's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. But in the face of these things, he calmly adjusted his emotions and patted Jia Lou, who was now in a daze, on the other hand, hurriedly walked to the seats that were arranged in advance. Meanwhile, Madam Vasaki, surrounded by ten beautiful maids, strode to another box. This was also the difference in class. No matter what, the status of a succubus was fundamentally different from that of an abyss demon.
The cheers around them were deafening. Many of the audience estimated that the platform that they had walked up to was more than 70 to 80 meters tall. Looking from here, they could see the audience on the opposite side, which was nearly a kilometer in diameter. Of course, in this situation, they looked like a swarm of ants, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
However, many of his perceptive abilities were needless to say. He could identify who the nobles around him were, who he had not come into contact with before, and who might be "upper-class".
Obviously, these upper-class guys would not sit in the same box as him. Many of them had risen in status, and in the César District of Sauron City, they could be called the number one figure. As for the "cold beauty" Madam Vasaki, because of her completely different temperament from ordinary succubi, she had become a character that many people talked about by word of mouth.
These words of praise won Amon a seat in a box. Many of the lower-class nobles could only sit in the ordinary stands like the commoners. At this moment, Jia Lou was sitting on the left of Amon, and the empty seat was an invisible guy, Nairíos.
"To be honest, if this place was built in Saint-Rames, the monarch who ordered it to be built would definitely go down in history."
Amon sighed at the scene in front of him. There were more than tens of thousands of people in the audience. At the same time, the dense and powerful magic waves in the surroundings made many believe that there were more than 100 ninth-grade professionals present, and at least three tenth-grade powerhouses!
Those who could hide their auras could not be detected, but this kind of strength already gave many a general understanding of the Abyss Race.
"If you ask me, whoever does this will basically be overthrown by the people when he is done."
Nairíos pointed to the countless insignificant commoners and nobles in the audience and said softly, "It's them. Thousands of years of servitude made them completely ineffective in the central regime, and no one dared to resist for decades. What a weirdo."
When he heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. It sounded like he was talking about himself. He couldn't help but feel a sense of shame. Of course, his face was as strong as his heart. He quickly adjusted himself and coughed twice. Then, he looked at the private room that was higher up behind him.
"She's fine. No one here can see through her disguise yet."
Nairíos knew what Amon was worried about, so he answered without turning his head. This made Amon feel a lot more at ease. He raised his hand and asked Jia Lou, "What's on today's program?"
"My lord, I'll go take a look at the list."
Jia Lou responded and left his seat. The entire arena was holding a huge warm-up event for the upcoming Baveng Celebration. From today until the Baveng Celebration began ten days later, there would be all kinds of programs. After the celebration began, there would be the legendary 'main event' — Her Majesty the Empress would personally come to the scene and reward the bravest warriors.
…
Madam Vasaki sat in the box, and the maids beside her rested in the compartment next to her. This was a box specially prepared for Succubi. As the first class of the Empire, Succubi were naturally treated differently from ordinary people. Speaking of which, this box was filled with the smell of cosmetics, and the fragrance was even a little suffocating. In short, this huge box was filled with a smell that could arouse the lust of any man. Not only the fragrances, but the body fragrance of the Succubi was also a 'fatal' aphrodisiac.
The seats weren't crowded. After the Madam sat down, she quietly looked into the distance. Her heart was abnormally calm. But soon, another Succubus sat down beside her. This Succubus was different from the other arrogant Succubi. She politely greeted Madam Vasaki, and then sat there quietly, looking into the distance without a word.
Truth be told, in the entire box, only these two people were different. Because the other Succubi were bragging to each other, and their Abyssal Language had a coquettish tone to it. They were so noisy that they didn't care what was happening in the arena. Only Madam Vasaki and the Succubus beside her didn't speak, and just sat there quietly like two gentle and elegant ladies.
This wasn't normal.
The Madam also noticed the Succubus beside her. She had a perfectly proportioned body, slender thighs, and a voluptuous figure that was unique to the Succubus race. The Madam shifted her gaze upwards, and saw that the Succubus was blinking her eyes and looking at her curiously.
"Pandora."
When this Succubus smiled, it was less seductive and more elegant, which made the Madam curious.
"Vasaki."
The Madam replied and nodded to acknowledge her. The distance between the two was more than a meter, which was due to the large armchair. But Madam Vasaki instinctively felt that the Succubus in front of her seemed to be different from the ones she had met before.
But she neglected one point, and that was that the faint aura of the Succubus seemed to be very similar to her own.
* * *
"There are quite a lot of events in the competition."
Listening to Jia Luo report to her about the various performances that were about to be performed in the arena, she couldn't help but sigh.
There was no other reason. In order to meet the needs of countless spectators in this huge arena, there were at least three kinds of shows on at the same time, which included all kinds of things that many people couldn't imagine: from the simplest one-on-one duel to the "Hero Challenge" of one against ten, and even the "Epic Challenge" of one against a hundred, and so on. Beast fighting seemed to be the most ordinary and least challenging event. Many people felt as though their horizons had been broadened when they looked at the dazzling list of programs.
It was very difficult to see the game below from here, but these things were not a problem. The walls of the box were made of black crystal, and as expected, all the scenes in the arena could be displayed on it. At the same time, there were also various angles to choose from. The waiter at the door with a strange stone in his hand could switch the scenes to the desired angle and event at any time.
There was a live broadcast at any time.
Many people really loved this thing. Speaking of which, they should really buy a few sets.
But these were not serious matters. Coming to watch the show was the least important. The most important thing was to build a relationship with the higher-ups. But these things still needed to wait until all the guests were seated before deciding where to go.
Bored to death, Many and Nairíos talked about the appearance and strength of the Abyss Race. Many patiently waited for the opportunity.
But it seemed that he had found the opportunity.
When it was close to noon, a waiter came to the private room where Mango was and delivered a very exquisite letter.
"Good afternoon invitation?"
Many raised his eyebrows and then let Jia Luo take a look. Jia Luo looked at the signature and said, "Sir, the target has come."
"Let's go."
Without any nonsense, Many got up and followed the waiter to another box.
Speaking of which, in this huge arena, there were no scenes of people squeezing and trampling to death. Everyone sat in very spacious seats, including the "lowest class" of the "poor." Because even these people at the lowest class had enough wealth to become rich in any other city. The nobles who were slightly higher up had a complete set of facilities. Apart from ordinary viewing boxes, there were also special dining boxes and even a supporting hotel.
After entering the luxuriously decorated restaurant, Many saw a pair of equally surprised eyes looking at him. Madam Vasaki was sitting next to the succubus who bought the badge in a dignified manner.
