Chapter 639 62

"Ladies and gentlemen, my respected Roman compatriots!"

"Today is a wonderful day!"

The six-story Colosseum was packed today. When the Colosseum emcee, wearing a festive dress, walked to the center of the venue, thunderous applause sounded all around.

"Let us pay tribute to our respected king, Mikhail III!"

All the Roman citizens in the venue stood up at the same time and faced the huge box on the central stage. The Byzantine King Mikhail III in the box also stood up and saluted back to all the people.

Beside him sat all the members of the Mikhail family.

No matter from which aspect, Mikhail III can be called a qualified emperor.

When he was young, he personally led the army to resist the attack of the Arab Empire. As an emperor, he led the Roman navy to fight in person and lived and ate with the soldiers on the border.

He did not return to the royal city until the Abbas family withdrew.

After the empire's territory stabilized, Mikhail III, who returned to the royal city, discovered the power of science. The Royal Academy of Sciences has been able to develop rapidly in recent decades. All this seems accidental, but in fact it is inseparable from the strong support of the Byzantine king.

After Emma Waldorf, the chief explorer of the Waldorf family, opened up a new route, Mikhail III did not even send a team to conduct field investigations, but directly allocated millions of gold coins to the Waldorf Chamber of Commerce to support their development of the new route.

In the early stages of exploration, the Roman navy was even dispatched to escort merchant ships along the way.

Without the support of the Byzantine king behind him, the city could not have accumulated a lot of gold and silver through trade in a short period of time.

It would also be impossible to develop to its current status in a short period of time.

The rapid expansion of the group of scholars has enabled the class of "blind believers" to quickly gain social status. The Holy Episcopal Church, which almost covered the sky with one hand in the kingdom, was forced to pay attention to this group of emerging opponents.

The original binary opposition between the royal family and religion suddenly had a new opponent, which to a considerable extent eased the ruling pressure on the Mikhail family.

Ordinary emperors can be famous in history by relying on these two achievements. But Mikhail III provided more than that to Rome. Despite his title as emperor, he never used his power to interfere with the work of the Senate.

The democratic and republican ideas inherited from the ancient Roman era have been best exerted in the decades when he was in power. For all citizens, they can truly feel that they have become the decision-makers of the kingdom's laws to some extent.

All of this is due to the emperor's enlightenment.

Although he is the king of Byzantium and it is his birthday, Mikhail III still wears that rather simple linen robe. Hearing the people calling his name, he stood up from the throne and gently raised his hands.

The arena was instantly silent.

"After six months, we gather in this building again to enjoy the wonderful performances presented to us by powerful warriors."

"I hope that the god of fate XXX will favor everyone present."

"Let the game begin!"

**

After the king's short speech, cheers and applause were heard again in the audience.

After the host left, the originally flat ground of the Colosseum suddenly sank, and the creaking sound of the machine amplifier sounded. It was not difficult to see that a platform was slowly rising from the ground.

Sartre and Guraul held their breath and looked at the center of the venue.

Long before entering the venue, they had heard the name "Red Blood Pigeon" from the casino owner.

Others may not have much knowledge of the word "blood pigeon", but these two Viking pirates from Hanshui Village are familiar with it as if they were in their own hands.

There are a total of 5 Viking settlements in the valley, and Blood Pigeon Town is the closest to Hanshui Village.

Sartre was born and raised in Hanshui Village. When he became an adult, he became the hunting captain of Hanshui Village. During the years of hard survival in Scandinavia, Blood Pigeon Town, which is only a canyon away from Hanshui Village, provided them with various help.

When Swain Gunk of Fog Duck Town attacked Hanshui Village under the instructions of Duke Bernard. If Blood Pigeon Town had not come to the rescue at the last moment, Hanshui Village would still be doomed.

All of this is remembered by every resident of Hanshui Village who participated in that tragic battle.

1 During the invasion of England, Hummel Blood Pigeon chose to retreat. Everyone will have different choices when facing a crisis.

In the forest, wolves will most likely choose to flee when they see a human bear.

This is not a big mistake in the eyes of Viking hunters.

However, when they saw the people of Blood Pigeon Town again, they all died tragically in the dungeon of Wind's End.

Sartre, Guraul All the witnesses of the defense of Hanshui Village were fighting on the English Islands at the time. Among the old, weak, women and children who stayed in Scandinavia, no one could tell what happened when they fell to the ground.

The only news that can be learned is that one of the several longboats docked on the seashore disappeared.

Fishermen fishing on the seashore claimed to have seen a lone woman fleeing on a boat.

This person is most likely the "Siren" Green.

Before entering the venue, Sartre had counted on his fingers.

If what Jerome said was correct, if she was indeed pregnant at the time, the child she gave birth to should be 15 years old this year.

Is it possible that the person mentioned by the casino owner is really the last member of the Blood Pigeon Town?

If this matter is true

Does this mean that the long-lost "Siren" Ge Lin also lives in this city?
