"What, are you jealous of me?" Valo opened his eyes wide, "Hey, if it's because you're staying for training and I'm leaving soon, I can understand how you feel right now, My Eastern friend, and I don't blame you for that."
"If this is the case, it would be easy." Zhang Heng said.
"What does this mean? Because I really can't imagine... There is no other reason for you not to be happy that a friend is about to escape from the sea of suffering." Walo said.
Zhang Heng sighed, "My dear friend in Rome, don't you ever have the slightest doubt that it's not because of any accident or accident that you fell to this point?"
Valo was stunned when he heard the words, but before he could speak again, a leather whip was drawn towards the two of them.
Zhang Heng stood motionless on the spot, without even blinking his eyes. On the other hand, Varo was so frightened that he subconsciously dodged backwards, but bumped into a Parthian behind him. The whip just reached Zhang Heng's face and couldn't continue, and it was still a few centimeters away from Zhang Heng's cheek.
"Why, did you leave any antiques here?" the Parthian said maliciously.
Valo was still a little confused, not knowing why the other party Wuyuanwuqiu would suddenly find himself in trouble, but when he saw the same hostile eyes around him, he was not stupid enough, and immediately realized that there was something wrong.
Whether Zhang Heng is jealous or not is another matter, but what he said before has successfully aroused the jealousy of other slaves.
In the eyes of these people, Varo is undoubtedly a "deserter".
While other people still have to train hard for the assessment, he doesn't have to worry about it. It won't be long before he can go out and do his business leisurely.
Although he was aware of this, Valo didn't regret it, because he never thought about how long he would stay in the gladiator school, and he was not the same kind of person as the guys around him who were licking blood.
And this is probably why he prefers to stay with Zhang Heng, a down-and-out aristocrat of the Han Empire, because even though the latter comes from the mysterious and distant east, he still has a lot in common with him.
Fortunately, the conflict between him and the Parthians did not escalate, because more and more trainers drew their whips.
The person in charge of the school changed his previous respectful expression in front of Marcruz, and put on a serious expression and said coldly, "Stand up for me, you idiots, stop whispering, what I want to say next, each of you Listen to me, because I'll only say it once." At this point, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Heng, because he didn't pay much attention to this young man with a rather exotic appearance before.
He can't even remember exactly when he bought the other party, only a few sporadic memories, it seems that he bought them when he bought those Sami people, which is a bit strange to him, because he can become The person in charge of the gladiator school is not accidental, it is inseparable from his seriousness and carefulness in doing things, especially when selecting the reserve gladiators, he basically picks them out one by one, ensuring that every penny is spent on the blade superior.
It is rare for this kind of situation to forget about it after buying it, but it also indirectly shows that there is nothing worth noting about the young man in front of him.
Although Marcruz has been urging Gabi to find Cisnatus' successor, because the gladiators of this era are in a sense similar to the pop idols of later generations, considering that gladiator performances are the most popular in this era It's not surprising that it's entertainment.
This is probably the prototype of the earliest fan economy. Excellent gladiators can greatly increase the attendance rate of the arena and bring some unexpected additional benefits. Only the quality needs to be considered, and the quantity can be ignored.
This point is also easy to understand, just like when you form a team, the star is always the most dazzling star on the court, but to make a team run normally, you need more ordinary people with their own duties. Players, and considering the high-risk nature of the gladiator profession itself, the consumption and demand for personnel is undoubtedly huge.
Therefore, while trying to build aces, the Gladiator School also needs to replenish a lot of ordinary blood.
And Zhang Heng is undoubtedly a part of the ordinary blood, but just now when the other party faced the attacking whip calmly and did not dodge, Gabi was a little surprised.
But he didn't get too entangled in this matter, and now his heart is far from being as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
It is simply an impossible task to train the next Cisnatus in 50 days. The level of the newcomers in front of us may not be bad. Bach can be regarded as a talent, but he is still far from Cisnatus. The latter's name spread throughout Rome, although the Gladiator School strongly praised it, but the audience in the stands were not fools, and they were not so easy to fool.
Cisnatus is indeed the strongest gladiator at the same time. He has a natural sense of fighting and excellent fighting skills. Even though his physical fitness has declined sharply in the later period, he can still make up for it with rich experience. It is difficult for outsiders to see , coupled with a handsome face, even the empress couldn't help being fascinated by him, and even secretly recruited him into the palace once.
At that time, Aurelius was still fighting outside, and no one knew what happened that night, which also added a rich touch to the many legends of Cisnatus.
Cisnatus was trained by Gabi, so he knew very well that Bach couldn't do what Cisnatus could do, not only in terms of skills, but also Cisnatus' unique charm and chic. And handsome fighting style.
However, Gabi now has no way out.
No one knows Marcruz better than him, and even though he is now a free man because of the contributions he has made over the years, Gabby insists on continuing to call Marcruz his master because he has seen Marcrus You definitely don't want to be this man's enemy.
Gabi could only do his best. He turned his attention back to the matter at hand, and said in a deep voice, "I know... you have all kinds of experiences and stories before you came here, slaves, prisoners of war , a debtor, a man trying to earn money for a family, or simply looking for a thrill, but let's be honest, I don't give a damn, you all have a reason to be gladiators when you're here, you guys It’s best to work hard to achieve it, pass the assessment after 50 days, and don’t take any chances.”
When talking about this, Gabi’s eyes still glanced over Varo intentionally or unintentionally, "Because you only have this way."
