Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 94 Destiny and Fighting

Although the people in the Abyss Cave area live in darkness all year round, strictly speaking, they still rely on the cave city for their survival. Ruger can already imagine what kind of disaster will be brought to the people living in the cave area when a cave city that has existed for thousands of years is destroyed. The impact will not only affect one area, but the chaos will spread to all directions, people will fall into panic, and will fight for survival resources.

Perhaps the city's nobles could choose to move to another underground city, but they would lose their former glory and power, perhaps even be eroded by the local nobles, and ultimately perish. As for the ordinary people, most would face immediate death. They wouldn't even receive news until the actual extinction date, and would be caught completely unprepared by the drastic changes.

When everything is settled, the impact will continue. The disappearance of the cave city will make it more difficult to travel between the surrounding cave cities. The journey will become longer and there will be more dangers along the way.

Ruger thought of the war between Twin Moon City and Red Moon City that he had heard about.

Could it be that these guys want to seize a cave city by force before their own extinction?

According to the red-haired woman, the birth of a catacombs city is often accompanied by an unforgettable expedition, which is one reason why mercenaries and adventurers flock to the area endlessly. Discovering a suitable location for a city is the ultimate dream of every adventurer. Some powerful nobles within the catacombs city often sponsor adventuring groups year-round, hoping for a miracle. When a light stone suitable for city construction is discovered, they rally forces to launch a war of expansion, exterminate subterranean beasts, transform dangerous areas, and relocate the population.

Ruge felt that there would definitely be a final step in the process of building the city, which was to invite a wizard to transform the so-called light stone.

After separating from the red-haired woman, he returned to his two-story cabin and began a life of secluded meditation.

There are three lounge chairs on the grass in front of the house. This is where the three dog-headed men bask in the sun at noon every day.

The three of them have recently fallen in love with this activity, especially Aisijin and Dashaheng, who always put on an expression of extreme enjoyment every time.

When the night was deep and quiet, Ruger looked at the newly acquired zero-ring spell in his hand and couldn't help but fall into doubt.

This thing seems really hard to learn.

This spell could influence a person's mind, spirit, and even, more broadly, their soul. While the effect was modest, merely making the opponent more stingy for a short period, it was still remarkable, especially since the old man claimed to be a wild wizard. Ruger felt he had a story of his own, believing it would be impossible to create such a spell in this city in his lifetime. Ruger suggested he might have used a servant contract to travel to the wizarding world in his youth.

Ruger would read this spell book every day in addition to his exhausting meditation practice.

Suddenly his life became extremely fulfilling.

The red-haired woman who would occasionally visit, fell into a kind of unconcealable anxiety as time went by.

Until the tenth day that Ruger moved into the manor.

Master Lorigo finally returned from the old baron's castle.

The first thing Lorigo did when he came back was to go to Ruge's cottage under the guidance of the butler. Coincidentally, the red-haired girl Myrtle had just come to visit.

"Sir Ruge, I'm truly sorry," Lorigo said with a smile, waving away the servants and butler. "For safety reasons, I was imprisoned in the quiet chamber for identifying the Faceless Ones until today, when I had enough time to escape."

"I live very comfortably here," Ruger said.

He noticed the red-haired woman's expression as she looked at Lorigo, and he instantly understood what she was thinking.

This young master might not even know about the Baron. Even if he knew whether the Baron was really dying, he might not know that someone was already spreading the news.

"Sir Ruge, how about we go to the Colosseum together today? I've been bored in the quiet room for several days." Lorigo said with a smile.

Ruger looked at him and could still sense a hint of sadness beneath his disguise.

This guy may want to show that nothing happened in his family by making public appearances and traveling around.

"You just returned to the manor. You should rest for a day before going to the arena tomorrow. I'm sure Ms. Myrtle has a lot to say to you." Ruger said with a smile. Lorigo glanced at the red-haired woman.

"Haha, okay, then let's do it tomorrow. I heard there will be underground beasts that have never been seen before tomorrow, so there will definitely be exciting challenges." He said.

"Then I'll look forward to tomorrow," Luger said with a smile.

Master Lorigo exchanged a few brief greetings and then left with Myrtle.

Ruger watched them leave, guessing that this young master would have another sleepless night. As for why he said "yet again", it was because this guy looked a little pale when he returned here, so he must have had a hard time in the quiet room.

Sure enough, it was just as he guessed.

The next morning, he met Master Lorigo, who had a bright smile but dark circles under his eyes.

The two met and exchanged greetings.

Luger didn't ask whether the rumors about the Baron were true.

Just chatting about the arena.

The three of them boarded the animal cart in the manor together.

The Colosseum is located at the junction of the inner city and the outer city. It is a huge round structure. It is not very close to the manor and it takes a while to get there by animal cart.

inside the carriage.

"Is the Sun-Extinguishing Event in Twin Moon City real?" Ruger said.

Master Lorigo nodded with a heavy expression.

"I only learned about this when I met my father in the castle. I had no idea it had spread so widely," Master Lorigo said. "This is the fate of every catacombs. I've read many records since I was a child. When faced with disaster, people make different decisions, but the outcome remains the same. Some catacombs choose to reduce the duration and scope of their light to linger, while others, like Twin Moon City, wage war. But even after struggling, they still face destruction, or even faster."

Arriving at the arena, the three got off.

Master Lorrigo had returned to his cheerful youthful form.

He was currently introducing the various aspects of the arena and leading Luger to the viewing stand reserved for the nobility.

"Sir Ruge," Lorigo waved his hand and called over a man, saying with a smile, "If your two companions see a suitable opportunity and want to show their bravery, you can ask him to arrange it at any time."

A thin man with a red nose saluted quickly, bowed, stepped back two steps and waited aside.

Luger nodded and looked towards the field.

The viewing angle from this position is excellent. The man with the red nose was called by Lorigo to be introduced.

The fight in the arena was not a formal event of the arena, but a temporary one. It was between the leaders of two mercenary groups that had a dispute. Both of them had chosen to fight to the death and had placed heavy bets.
