The City of Dis, Mantili Prison.
The time for the tenth gladiator match was delayed much more than usual. During this period, the young mage has been missing. Although Bartlett was not worried about his friend's safety, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
Kris's personality changed a lot since Bartlett first met him. The young mage was initially polite, friendly, and had a sense of steadiness rare among the youth.
Now, the young mage's presence was even more confident and proud, just like the three golden Sun Ivy embroidered on his black tight robe; bright and dazzling, hard to ignore.
Forget it; don't overthink. Although this is a devilish city full of traps and lies, Kris came with his teacher, so there shouldn't be any problem. Bartlett talked to himself.
Not long after mealtime, the partition door opened again, and the two devil companions came to visit Bartlett. They were here to inform the barbarian about his next gladiator fight.
