Gabi had a lot of things to do, and left the training ground in a hurry after arranging tomorrow's battle list.
The rest of them flocked to the trainer one after another, inquiring about information about their opponents, and after getting the information, they quickly turned around and recruited people with similar styles as sparring partners, simulating tomorrow's battle.
Only Varo sat on the ground, motionless.
His figure looks a little lonely, but this time most people can understand his frustration, because his luck is too bad, with Habitus as his opponent, the gap between the two sides is too big, this is destined to be a match. A unilateral slap, and the chance of Valo passing the assessment is naturally infinitely close to zero.
At this time, Zhang Heng also asked about Galba's information from the trainer, including his chances of winning and losing, his fighting style, etc. The trainer had a good impression of Zhang Heng, and specially reminded him that he was fighting an old fox like Garba. When should pay attention to where.
Zhang Heng expressed his thanks and walked to Varo's side.
Varo didn't need to look back to know who was coming, and said, "Don't worry, I haven't given up on myself yet. You asked me what happened to make me decide to become a gladiator."
"Are you willing to tell me now?" Zhang Heng sat down beside Varo.
"I saw him that afternoon, the afternoon I went to help out in the arena." Varo clenched his fists.
"who?"
"My best friend, or... the best friend I used to think." Varo smiled self-deprecatingly, "I trusted him very much, and gave him all the money invested in flax, and asked him to take it to Egypt , But later they said he was robbed on the road, he lost his people and money, but they sent the body back, the height and shape are fine, but the face was scratched."
"He is back?"
"Yes, and with my wife, they sat in the stands together, enjoying the gladiatorial show, they should not have noticed me, too, after all, I didn't pay attention to the slaves below when I went to the gladiatorial show .”
Zhang Heng was also a little surprised by the other party's arrogant behavior. Zhang Heng originally thought that after the fake death of Varo's friend, he would leave Rome forever, and move to other places with Varo's property. But I didn't expect that guy to dare to come back, and live with Varo's wife in a grand manner.
"Can you sue him and get your property back?" Zhang Heng asked.
Varo shook his head, "Giulia Basilica only accepts lawsuits from Roman citizens, slaves are not included, and now I don't have the money to hire a lawyer, they can also find various reasons to argue, such as he really met a robber , but luckily escaped, but someone else mistakenly took other people’s corpses and sent them back, after all, I really signed the contract, no matter what the reason, I did breach the contract.”
The current Valo is much calmer than when Zhang Henggang met him. Otherwise, why would some people say that suffering is the best university, but the problem with Valo is that he is a bit too memorized.
After experiencing the betrayal of his wife and friends, and losing his personal freedom, he finally cheered up and survived a period of devil training that was impossible to survive. When he looked up, he found Habitus standing in front of him.
Valo hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "How much do you think I have against Habitus?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"certainly."
"Not at all." Zhang Heng said truthfully, "He is in the golden age of a gladiator. His physical fitness, combat skills, and combat experience are all far superior to yours. This gap cannot be made up by willpower. Bach after training has a very small chance of winning against him."
"What about you?" Walo asked.
Zhang Heng smiled and didn't answer the question, but instead said, "But your goal is not to beat him, as long as you can pass tomorrow's assessment."
"As you said, his physical fitness, combat skills, and combat experience are all superior to mine. Tomorrow's battle will be one-sided. How can I pass the assessment?" Varo smiled wryly, "I don't even know that I am fighting against him. How long can your subordinates last, ten rounds."
"You may be a little overestimating yourself, my friend." Zhang Heng said tactfully, "In addition, even if you can prolong the round by blindly defending or escaping, it doesn't make much sense."
The audience has a bad impression of runaways. If a certain gladiator always runs away, then once he loses and fails to see the wonderful performance, the suffocated audience will shout to kill him! At this time, the host of the duel performance will also follow the public opinion and execute the loser.
Therefore, even an old-fashioned gladiator like Galba will fight hard when he meets an opponent who knows he is invincible. Even if he can't win, he has to draw two marks on the opponent to show his professionalism.
"The key to passing the assessment is not the number of rounds, but whether you can cause Habitus some trouble."
"I caused trouble for Habitus? What trouble, will my blood splash on his sword?"
"It has to be a little more troublesome than this." Zhang Heng said, "I can't help you if it is someone else, but we have seen Habitus make a move before, so on this issue, maybe I can give you some advice. suggestion."
"Really?" Varo said pleasantly, and he looked at Zhang Heng again as if he was looking at the incarnation of Jupiter in the world.
The latter has saved him more than once, from delaying him for three days to making protective gear for him, and now telling him that there may be a way to take advantage of Habitus.
"Don't be too happy, I'm not too sure, after all, it depends on your impromptu performance and Habitus' attitude towards you."
Zhang Heng paused, then continued, "It is reasonable to say that he should not participate in this kind of entry-level assessment for gladiators, and we don't know why he is on the list now, but if I had to guess, I think he is very likely to join the Bi is a little contradictory. After all, Bach’s rise directly threatens him. Gabi is probably taking this opportunity to beat him up. Therefore, Habitus’s mood is probably not very good, and he is also a very proud man. man, so here is your chance, I can play his role and spar with you, we have a whole day, if you can do what I said, you can probably cause him a little trouble, of course even Everything goes well, and you only have about a 40% chance."
"Enough is enough. Forty percent is better than none." Varo gritted his teeth, "From the moment I was sold here, I only had one way to go. I need to get out of here. I must will get out of here."
"Fine, let me tell you what to do."
