Conquering the Heavens: Beginning at Hogwarts

Chapter 99 The Grand Arena

"Come on, let's go back."

Pender patted Verolian who was still out of breath, and smiled strangely, "It's time for you to exercise, I don't want my adjutant to die young."

Verolian looked at his somewhat thin body, then thought about his own style of life, smiled wryly,
"Got it, I'll start practicing when I get back."

Early the next morning.

"Hey, have you heard? The newly appointed consul will hold a competition in two days!"

"I heard that, it is said that many slaves and civilians from the city wall area and the outer city area were selected!"

"That's not it! Let me tell you, as long as you win three games, you can be free, if you win five games, you can become a commoner, and if you win ten games, you can become a citizen! Even if you win more in a row, you can become a noble directly!"

"Is it true? I will also participate."

"Of course it is! It is said that the grand finale is the duel between the Consul and the head of the Pompey family! I am so looking forward to it!"

"Then what are you waiting for! Go buy tickets!"

"Yes, let's go!"

Seeing the Roman citizens flocking to buy tickets at the entrance of the Colosseum, Verolian couldn't help but sigh that Pender's skill was beautiful.

If you want to organize a large-scale competition, you need a lot of money.In particular, it is still necessary to save the lives of the contestants, which requires a lot of sacrifices.

For this reason, Pan De also spent a lot of money to invite the gods to sacrifice.

Although the priests did not stand in line, this time they were very face-saving and only asked Pan De to put the statues of the gods on one side of the arena during the game.

Naturally, Pan De agreed to this trivial matter, and he chatted with the high priest very enthusiastically, which made the high priest very happy, and he was about to award Pan De the position of high priest immediately.

Among the high priests of the gods, Pan De is a knowledgeable believer of the gods. In fact, Pan De just wants to confirm whether these gods have fallen into silence.
Don't forget, he also has a book dedicated to pulling wool
Closer to home,
The reason why Verolian lamented the beauty of Pender's hand lies in two points,
One of them is publicity and tickets. The publicity attracted not only the attention of citizens and commoners, but also the attention of nobles in the outer city.

Who wouldn't want to watch the duel between the consul and the patriarch of today's largest family?

No matter what is in it, the life-and-death struggle between two high-ranking and powerful people is enough to attract attention.

And tickets are the follow-up to this attention. Those who have attracted attention want to see it. If you want to see it, you can buy a ticket to enter.

Tickets are not expensive, 20 gold coins per person, the better the location, the higher the price, which instantly paid off Pan De's investment during the preparation period.

This competition is not just a duel between Pendor and Nord, but also a declaration by Pandor to the nobles and elders that the arrival of the four generals will explain everything for Pandor.

The second is to solve the problem of the city wall area while paying back the capital and declaring it.

Pendor gave the slaves in the walled area a chance, a chance to be free, even the worst ones, as long as they would work, they would not suffer hunger and cold again.

Not only that,

As long as you become a free agent, you can bring your immediate family members to become free persons together!Be a commoner and a citizen too!
How did this make those slaves refuse?
Can't refuse!

This directly solved the biggest problem, and Pan De also opened up the enlistment, so that these slaves could rely on military industry to redeem themselves.

Agrippa looked at all this, and his evaluation of Pender rose a bit.

Originally, these threats were deliberately prepared by them, and they were easy to crack. They only needed to use their brains and hands. Unfortunately, the last person was not so lucky, and he didn't have two great talents to assist him.

Pendor was really lucky.

The two days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was Sunday.

At this time, it has been more than two weeks since Pan De entered the trial, nearly three weeks.

The Aries date is also coming to an end, but it's not over yet, hehe.

Pendor stood in the middle of the big arena, and the whole arena was crowded with people.

He just turned around and raised his hand to greet everyone, which attracted a tsunami of shouts.

"Everyone!"

Pan De used his magic power to cast the Hong Sheng Curse, which immediately stunned everyone.

"Welcome everyone to come and watch this competitive competition. My competitive competition will last for five days. The first three days are promotion competitions. Our gladiators will bring you exciting and fair competitions!"

"And on the fourth day, there will be a final promotion match. The powerful gladiators who have won 20 games will have a final duel. The final champion will become my guard and be directly promoted to noble!"

"And on the morning of the fifth day, what everyone is looking forward to the most is the duel between me and Patriarch Nord Pompey!"

"Let's not talk much, let's start directly!"

Pan De finished speaking, then raised his hand, and the magic power started to work. Amidst the expressions of everyone's jaws dropped, walls rose up, dividing the arena into small arenas one by one.

Then a number of strong-bodied gladiators with wooden weapons walked out from the gate on the edge of the arena, and walked towards the corresponding arena according to their numbers.

At this time, no one cared about the shock brought by Pan De,
The violent impact brought by the gladiators' punches to the flesh made the bloodthirsty Romans ecstatic in their bones.

People started cheering, cursing, and even wishing they could end up.

Seeing this scene, Pender always knew why Rome was the largest slavery empire in the world, and it was too bloody and brutal.

But that's exactly what he needs.

A bloodthirsty nation, in his favour.

He didn't forget that among the upgrade options in the system, there was an option about war.

If you get the mirror image Rome, you will be equivalent to getting an admission ticket, which will be beneficial and harmless.

Pendor came to the highest stand.

There are six seats in the stands, and the main seat in the middle is vacant, reserved for His Majesty Augustus, but he can't come.

On the left-hand side sat Agrippa, who had a higher status than Pendor. He was the chief of the Praetorian Guard and temporary dictator.

Pan De's seat is on the right hand side of the main seat, because he is a consul, and his official position is higher than the other three generals, so he obviously has to sit in an important position.

Then came the other three generals.

"What do the generals think of me treating the slaves like this?" As soon as Pender came up, he bowed and saluted the four generals, full of face.

Several generals did not lose their manners in such matters, and nodded their heads.

"Very good, you can do it." Valus gnawed on an apple, and he approved of Pender's behavior.

"That's right, very smart." Little Drusus also nodded, watching Pan De in front of him become more and more pleasing to the eye.

Sertorius didn't say much, just nodded, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Thank you for the compliments from the generals. Compared with the merits of the generals, these are not worth mentioning." Pan De is very humble. The attitude of the generals has already explained everything. Even if they are not completely in line, they will not challenge him. .

"Don't thank me in advance, we brought you a gift, we will talk about this after you pass the morning of the fifth day."

Valus smiled, with some schadenfreude in his eyes.

Pan De blinked, a little confused, so he looked at the other three generals, and saw that they were all like this, with smiles in their eyes, but he didn't say anything.

All right, Riddler.
