Minister Dias was invited to attend the ball of the city lord Count Cruz.
Rather than calling it a "dance party" for a party in the Iron Country, it's better to change the dance of dancing into the martial arts of fighting.
The venue for the party was an aristocratic gladiatorial arena in Osenburg.
The structure of this building is very special, a bit like a theater, except that the first floor was built into a circular arena.
On the upper level of the arena is a wrap-around party hall.
Minister Dias leaned against the wooden rail on the edge of the second floor hall and looked at the arena below.
He soon found the figures of four knights in heavy armor.
The armor worn by these knights is completely different from ordinary knight armor.
The armor did not have any aesthetic feeling at all, it was like an inferior product made of various pitch-black iron pieces, and the magical inscriptions engraved on it could still be vaguely seen on the surface of the iron pieces.
There are also various dangerous weapons hidden in these armors, including the weapons held by the knights are also "magic machinery" transformed by alchemy engineers.
This is the popular gladiatorial competition in the Iron Nation!
Minister Dias could not call such a savage game a "show".
"Dias! I didn't think you'd come back since your last run away."
Just when Minister Dias was thinking, Count Cruz enthusiastically came to Minister Dias's side and patted him on the shoulder.
Although the earl's attitude was very enthusiastic, his words sounded particularly harsh.
Minister Dias was a good friend with this count many years ago, so I understand that the way he speaks is like this... frank.
"This time, I received an order from His Majesty the King, so I came to visit the country of steel." Minister Dias said.
"The king's order? Does your king finally want to introduce our country's magic machinery technology?"
Count Cruz's mood became even higher at this time.
"this… "
Before Minister Dias denied it, Count Cruz stretched out his hand and pointed at the four knights who were preparing in the arena below.
"Now the alchemy workshops in our country have begun to study the magic-driven knight armor. That one is a trial work made by the 'Rusko alchemy workshop', Dragon Breather! Its palms are engraved with magic inscriptions capable of fire tongue surgery. It can release the magic power stored by the original spar on the back..." Count Cruz began to introduce the hideous-looking knight armor below.
Although the earl's words were vivid, it seemed that as long as he put on these four sets of knight armor, he could easily kill a dragon.
If it is a businessman who does not know much about magic machinery, it is very likely that he will be moved by the words of Count Cruz, and then prepare to pay for it.
But Minister Dias sounded very boring.
The ability to distinguish the good from the bad is an essential element for Minister Dias to sit in this position today.
He saw the flaws of the four sets of knight armor at a glance. The unified flaw was that it was too bulky, and it was difficult to exert its strength in a slightly worse environment and terrain.
The second is a slightly stronger spellcaster, who can knock the knights to the ground or kill them completely before the knight armor can get close to him.
As for what really made Minister Dias feel boring, he probably had seen those giant manned magic dolls in "Avatar".
Although they are all illusions created by the purple-clothed people, in the movie "Avatar", the shock brought by the walking of the magic dolls and the impact brought by the battle are far more impressive than the set of knight armor. Satisfy.
"Count Cruz, I'm here for a show in my theater."
Minister Dias did not wait for Count Cruz to finish introducing all the knights, and interrupted him at the right time.
"Performance?" Count Cruz frowned slightly. "Dias, you know us Bismarckians, but you don't like the way you, Farosi, are bouncing around on stage. This will only make us feel childish and Boring, there will be two gladiatorial matches soon, I believe you will love the feeling of steel and blood colliding together."
"This... Cruz, I really can't appreciate it."
It's not that I can't appreciate it, it should be said that I don't have the mood to appreciate it.
Minister Dias watched the battle of the four knights after watching the battle in "Avatar", no matter how he looked at it, he looked like two toddlers.
"We Bismarcks can't appreciate your performances either." Count Cruz shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten how desolate your theatre is?"
"But this time is definitely different." Minister Dias said in a positive tone: "If you allow Count Cruz, after this gladiatorial match is over, I can start the performance directly under the arena."
"After the gladiatorial competition? Can the girls in your troupe stand the smell of blood in the gladiatorial arena? Don't be stunned. It seems that I need to send someone to clean it up."
Speaking of which, Count Cruz looked around the ball, as if he was looking for the members of Minister Dias' troupe.
"Count Cruz is so troublesome. This show does not require any actors to enter the arena. It is enough for you to dim the light of the original spar."
Minister Dias waved his hand, reminding Count Cruz to give up this senseless behavior.
"I don't need an actor? What kind of performance is that?" Count Cruz was taken aback for a moment, he still had some understanding of Farosi's stage play.
A stage play requires careful preparation by a troupe ranging from 100 to 200 people.
The number of people invited to this ball by Count Cruz was not so many.
"You'll find out later, look! Count Cruz, those two knights have already played." Minister Dias said, looking down the arena.
"The knife and axemen and the spiked knights are just a warm-up. The dragon's breather and the priest of eternal sleep in the second game are the two most likely to win this gladiatorial competition. Today is just an exercise, but the nobles I invited They are all here for this game."
Although Count Cruz said so.
But when the two knights below walked into the middle of the arena, Minister Dias could already hear their names being called.
Obviously, the nobles present were very optimistic about these two knights.
This is the "star" in the country of steel. Their country does not have the profession of an actor. The only people who can make the people worship are these warriors who survived one fight after another!
The two knights have stepped into the arena with their weapons, and the gladiatorial fight was announced as flowers from nowhere fell from the sky.
