Chapter 842 Colosseum
At noon, Lu Yu left the Royal Hotel with Han Xuefei and arrived at the hotel entrance.
The street outside was very lively, and many pedestrians passed by.
Most of these people were wearing long robes that were more retro-looking, very different from the big cities of the Freedom Federation.
The two of them walked a few streets together and came to a spacious avenue.
This was Emperor’s Avenue. It was shaped like a cross and ran through the entire Lionheart City.
The intersection was the palace in the center.
Every street on Emperor’s Avenue led directly to the gate of the city wall.
Generally speaking, large-scale troops returning from a campaign would use this path.
This wide street could accommodate more than ten horse carriages traveling side by side.
After walking along Emperor’s Avenue for a while, Lu Yu saw a flat, cylindrical structure.
The building was a standard colosseum. It was cylindrical in shape, and in the middle was the heart of the colosseum, with a circle of spectators around it.
Before he even got close, Lu Yu could see that quite a number of people had gathered at the entrance.
Among them, many people came in luxury cars.
The style here was different from that of the Freedom Federation. Some people drove luxury cars, while others rode warhorses or battle pets.
If they were in the Freedom Federation, they would all be luxury cars.
Many of these people were from wealthy families and had high status in Lionheart City.
In fact, there were quite a number of people in this crowd whose status and power could faintly threaten the royal family.
Lu Yu refused to believe that such a large empire had no complicated internal strife.
“It looks like there are quite a lot of people.” Han Xuefei said uncomfortably; she didn’t like crowded environments.
“It’s alright. It’s normal for this kind of place. Also, it’s lively.”
The two of them walked toward the gate and let the ticket inspectors check their tickets.
After entering, Lu Yu and Han Xuefei found their seats.
To their surprise, these two tickets were VIP tickets. The seats were also very close to the front, among the first five rows.
The seats here were spacious, and there were luxurious tables placed between the seats. On them were all kinds of refreshing fruits.
The people at the back couldn’t enjoy this kind of treatment. Just looking at the crowded seats made them uncomfortable.
Lu Yu looked at the center of the colosseum, noticing that it was still empty. There were a few large iron gates around it, and behind the iron gates was a dark and deep passage. No one knew what was at the end of the passage.
The beasts locked up were the beasts that the beast fighters would challenge.
In the audience stands, the discussions were loud, making them feel like they had entered a noisy market area.
Everyone seemed interested in the next match and was looking forward to it excitedly.
“This colosseum is really huge. There are thousands of people here.”
Lu Yu looked at the densely packed crowd and commented.
“There must be a few thousand people. It looks like this Beast Fighting Tournament is quite attractive to them.”
Han Xuefei picked up a grape and put it in her mouth.
“I don’t know what the prize is. But I’m sure there must be a grand prize for it to attract such a crowd.”
Han Xuefei looked at Lu Yu and asked with a smile, “If there was a treasure, would you personally go on stage?”
Lu Yu tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, “It depends on the situation. I’m a man with two divine artifacts on me. I’m afraid I won’t be interested in any ordinary treasures.”
At this moment, a muscular man with disheveled hair walked out from the center of the colosseum.
He held the microphone and shouted in a deep and hoarse voice, “Everyone, are you ready to welcome the Beast Fighting Tournament?”
“Our Beast Fighting Tournament is about to begin. All the participants are ready. Please wait a moment and enjoy the fight!”
The entire venue cheered loudly, and it got lively.
It was obvious that they were looking forward to the battles.
Lu Yu lowered his head and looked at the ticket. There was a simple introduction to the Beast Fighting Tournament on it.
There were a total of 30 people participating in the tournament, and they had to challenge the beasts according to their levels. Their rankings were determined according to the level of the challenge.
From the lowest level, F, to S, the difference in difficulty spans a wide range.
In the entire history of the colosseum, there have only been less than ten successful S-level challengers.
Those who can challenge S-level and above will reach the pinnacle of their power in the future and become a figure everyone looks up to.
A middle-aged man in a golden suit sat beside Lu Yu. He was relaxed on the sofa and looked excitedly at the center of the venue.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Yu. He said proudly, “My son is the first contestant. This time, he will successfully challenge an S-level beast and get first place.”
Lu Yu was a little surprised by the sudden conversation. “Really? Your son must be quite strong.”
“Of course. The members of the Omar clan are all exceptionally powerful. Later, you have to admire my son’s battle stance properly.”
Those who could sit in this position were either rich or noble. Therefore, this person’s attitude towards Lu Yu was friendly and lacked disdain for the poor.
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.”
Lu Yu said nothing more other than that.
“I heard that there will be a royal guest today. Have you heard?”
He turned to look at Lu Yu.
“I’ve never heard of it. Who is it?”
“It’s said to be from the royal family. Guess who?”
Lu Yu shook his head. “How would I know?”
“It seems that you are not very well informed. The royal guest who will be coming today is Isabel!”
Lu Yu frowned slightly. “Isabel? Isn’t it Elizabeth?”
“Huh? Brother, you’re not from the Lionheart Empire, are you? Isabel is Elizabeth’s eldest sister, and the second princess is Annabelle. You get it now?”
Lu Yu nodded. “I see. I never really cared about this. It doesn’t seem to be of much use to me.”
“Princess Isabel is an ice beauty and has never been close to men. Countless young men have tried to get her admiration, but they all failed.”
“All the noble families also wanted to marry her, but not one managed.”
“Is that so? I don’t know about that. I only know that Elizabeth has a good personality.”
After Lu Yu said that, the man got excited. “Elizabeth is a great princess. Millions of poor people in Lionheart City depend on her food aid to survive. She can’t be compared to the rest of the royal family!”
“The other people are considered to be kind as long as they don’t skin the people at the bottom.”
This was the first time Lu Yu had heard about Elizabeth from the people of the Lionheart Kingdom. She was indeed a princess who loved her country.
It was a pity that her efforts seemed insignificant in such an environment.
“Do you think Elizabeth will be the next Empress of the Lionheart Kingdom?”
