After Marcruz left, Gabi explained some precautions for the gladiators, and then left in a hurry to discuss the opening match with Marcruz. Mobile terminal
Bach performed well in the final assessment, allowing Gabi to pass successfully, and even got the praise of Marcruz, but Gabi was not too happy, but frowned slightly.
He has been in charge of Bach's training, so he is very aware of Bach's true level. He always feels that it is not a good thing to push Bach to the foreground now. In Gabi's original plan, Bach will receive special training for at least half a year It is not a good thing to push him out too early, but Marcruz obviously does not have such patience, especially after seeing Bach's outstanding performance today, he is probably full of thoughts. What matters is how to turn the latter into a new cash cow as soon as possible.
Gabby didn't know how to convince Marcruz.
...
The people in charge had all left, and there were only a group of gladiators who had just passed training left on the training ground, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Although I still haven't been able to get rid of my slave status after becoming a regular, the treatment is not much better than before.
First of all, the brutal training before is gone. Although official gladiators themselves have to keep training to improve their fighting skills, the intensity will not be as terrifying as before. Otherwise, considering the maintenance and rehabilitation methods of this era, gladiators After playing a few games, he was scrapped by the school first.
In addition, the living conditions of the people are much better now. In the past, more than a dozen people were crowded into one room, but the official gladiators shared a room with four people, and the snoring noise at night was much smaller. In addition, there was a free Massage and bathing, among which freeman gladiators can leave school at any time.
They don't even have to go to the school training, as long as they can play on time, like Griff, according to him, his wife just gave him a son, and he didn't even drink much, and left In school, they hurried home to pick up their children. In fact, except for the unmarried prodigals like Habitus, many freeman gladiators trained in school and went home to sleep at night.
The slaves don't have such good treatment, but it is said that after performing in the Victor Arena for more than a year, as long as they ask Gabi for instructions, they can go out for a breather from time to time after getting approval.
In addition, Gabi also promised them that as long as they can win a certain number of games, they can regain their status as free people. Of course, the social status of freed slaves is still slightly lower than that of normal Roman citizens, but they will be more Foreigners in Rome are taller.
This is undoubtedly the most exciting thing. Although compared with other slave gladiators, they are more dignified, and there are many girls and ladies who worship them, but no one wants to be a slave all the time, and let others decide their own life and death. Sell it like a commodity.
Zhang Heng and Valo returned to their new residence without drinking too much alcohol. When they opened the door, they immediately saw what the gift Marcrus was talking about.
I saw four female slaves sitting quietly in the room. There was nothing on them, but there was no shameful expression on their young faces. Instead, they puffed out their chests generously, as if sending a silent invitation to the two of them. .
However, neither Zhang Heng nor Valo reacted much upon seeing this.
After going through so many rounds of dungeons, it is difficult to attract Zhang Heng purely from physical stimulation. It's not that he refuses this kind of thing, but it's hard to get much happiness from sleeping with someone who doesn't have any feelings for him.
And Varo himself is a married person, and there used to be many slaves in his family. He is no stranger to this kind of thing, but his mind is not on it now, so he turned to Zhang Heng and said, "I plan to go to school. Take a bath in the bathroom, we haven't washed it properly for so many days, I feel like I'm about to stink, how about you?"
"I'm with you." Zhang Heng nodded.
Apart from Caesar and gladiators, ancient Rome is probably most famous for their unusual obsession with bathing.
Since Gaius, a wealthy businessman, invented the first set of hot water bath equipment in the early 1st century BC, bathing has become popular throughout the Roman Empire at an unimaginable speed and has become a part of Roman daily life. Turn down the hot tub.
However, even in the Domus of the rich, few bathrooms were built alone. The ancient Romans were more accustomed to bathing in public baths.
There are hundreds of large and small baths throughout the city of Rome, the largest and most famous of which is Trajan’s Great Baths, which can accommodate 3,000 people bathing at the same time, and the entrance fees for these baths are basically very cheap. Take the bathhouse as an example, you only need 1 guaderante (16 guaderante is equal to 1 sesterce) to enter the door, and for this money, you can’t even drink half a bowl of thick vegetable soup outside, according to Varo It is said that the inside of Trajan's Great Baths is like a small city, and people who enter for the first time may even get lost in it.
But Zhang Heng has no chance to see it for the time being. What he and Valo are going to now is the gladiator school's own bathing place, which is specially built for gladiator use and is not open to the public.
The smoke column at the top of the bath can be seen from a distance. In terms of the scale of the building, it is naturally not as good as the bathing place outside, but there are quite a few things that should be there, such as the big pool just opposite the door, which provides cold water, and you can swim in it. The porch bypasses the small swimming pool and there is a small courtyard, which is similar to a gymnasium. There are two pairs of gladiators wrestling in it, and the rest of them stand and watch, besides, there is a man punching A flour sack, a bit like the boxers of later generations practicing with sandbags.
Zhang Heng and Walo didn't look much, they went straight through the courtyard and arrived at their destination. The three rooms behind the small courtyard symbolize hot water bath, warm water bath and cold water bath respectively.
Varo quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a belt wrapped around his waist, which made him look a bit like Tarzan of the apes. Varo put the clothes in the cabinet beside him, then turned to Zhang Heng and said, " Come on, my Eastern friend, I bet you'll love what's next."
"You'd better not say such confusing words to me when you're dressed like this." Zhang Heng took off his clothes while talking.
In this way, the two walked into the hot water bathroom which was the smallest on the left, and Zhang Heng felt a wave of heat as soon as he opened the door. In addition, there was steaming white water vapor, and the stone pillars in the bathroom looming in it.
