Chapter 770: Massage with herbs

Views:

The old trainer just opened his mouth, but suddenly closed it again.

Not long after that, Zhang Heng also heard words and faint footsteps from the corridor. A large group of gladiators walked in from outside in twos and threes. They probably just finished training somewhere, and they were still joking with each other while walking, so The old trainer also changed his words, "I will go to you, let's talk about it then."

After speaking, he directly got down from the alcove and walked out of the hot shower.

And Zhang Heng steamed in it for a while, and then returned to the hot tub.

"As a person who is steaming for the first time, I have to admit that your persistence is not bad." After seeing Zhang Heng come out, Walo said that the former antique dealer seemed to have regained a lot of energy after soaking in the pool for a while , stood up from the bath, "It's time to see me next."

"I'll wait for you here." Zhang Heng said.

After Varo came out of the hot air bathroom, the two went to the cold bathroom next door. The ancient Romans had very strange bathing habits. They seemed to like the feeling of alternating hot and cold, but in fact this washing method may bring In addition to heart problems, staying in a cold and humid environment for a long time may also cause sailor syndrome and cause hearing loss.

In contrast, the women in ancient Rome were obviously much better, they hardly took cold baths.

Zhang Heng just tried it and didn't plan to wash it like this. In addition, he also advised Valo not to take a bath like this in the future. The latter obeyed Zhang Heng's words now, and immediately nodded and agreed without asking why.

And the two people's trip to the bathhouse ended with a massage.

According to Varo, although the entrance fee to the baths outside is very cheap, services such as storage of clothes, snacks, and massages are charged separately. In contrast, the baths of the Gladiator School are designed to protect the precious Assets are all free.

This is probably one of the few benefits of being a gladiator.

By the time Zhang Heng and Walo returned to their residence, the battle over there had long since ended. The four female slaves had left the room, and the remaining two drunken gladiators were lying on the bed staggeringly. From the corners of their mouths, Judging by the smile on his side, he should still be dreaming some kind of sweet dream.

Today is the day when a group of newcomers pass the assessment. Gabi also knows that everyone has been suppressed for a long time during this period, so he didn't arrange any training on this day, and let everyone enjoy the carnival.

However, Varo himself seemed very restrained. He just took a hot bath to recover his mental and physical fatigue, and then returned to the training ground to start training spontaneously.

He knew that it was a fluke that he could pass the assessment this time. Even without Habitus's problem, he was still at the bottom among the newcomers with his skills. In order to successfully survive to leave here and take revenge, he needed further efforts. Improve your fighting skills in order to survive in the next battle.

As for Zhang Heng, he took a nap, and then wandered around the gladiator school until dark.

After obtaining the official gladiator status, their scope of activities has indeed expanded a lot. As long as they don’t leave the gate of the gladiator school, they can basically go anywhere. Zhang Heng first visited a few gladiators to learn more about some gladiator schools and the schools inside. The personnel profile, especially the information of some trainers, know what they are good at, and prepare for asking for advice later.

Zhang Heng paid special attention to the information related to the old Persian trainer, but judging from the information collected so far, it is similar to what he said before.

His name is Dadatis, he entered the gladiator school half a year ago, led a class of new recruits, and then he was in charge of the training of Habitus. His origin is very mysterious. It is said that he has some relationship with Gabi. People have known each other for many years, but other than that, not much is known about him.

There were also gladiators who asked him about training, and Dadatis never refused, but his answers were not much different from those of other trainers, so gradually no one came to him.

Afterwards, Zhang Heng went to the medical room again. Almost every gladiator school is equipped with a medical room, so that gladiators who are not seriously injured can play again after treatment and recuperation, which greatly reduces the loss of the owner here.

In all fairness, the skills of these doctors in this era are still good. Take Zhang Heng’s gladiator school as an example. There are even retired imperial doctors working here. They are especially good at dealing with trauma and bone injuries, and they are even equipped with some copper Surgical tools made of iron or steel are very similar to modern surgical instruments, but there are no other effective anesthetics except alcohol and opium, and of course there are no disinfection methods.

In addition, they have no good way to deal with the injuries of internal tissues and organs, they can only let their patients wait for death slowly.

When Zhang Heng entered the door, he saw a doctor with half-white stubble bandaging a gladiator with an injured leg. Zhang Heng stood by the door and waited for a while, waiting for the doctor to finish the work at hand, and to the doctor. The injured gladiator patient finally looked up at Zhang Heng after giving instructions.

"Where did you hurt? Let me see."

"I'm not injured." Zhang Heng said.

The doctor frowned, "Then why are you here?"

"Oh, I want to ask you for advice. I wonder if you can buy herbal medicine here?" Zhang Heng explained the purpose of his visit.

He used the rest of the time in the alien dungeon to learn some herbal medicine knowledge by himself, just to deal with the situation that the medical treatment in the dungeon that is too early in the age is not yet developed. Zhang Heng picked some commonly used ones, such as anti-inflammatory Herbs for reducing swelling, treating diarrhea and fever, as well as bruises, most of which are distributed in the Mediterranean Sea, but even so, it took him a long time, even drawing and gesticulating, to explain the meaning of those herbs look.

After listening to the doctor, he was skeptical about it. Fortunately, Zhang Heng was lucky, and he met a relatively enlightened doctor, and some herbal medicines were already popular in this era or even earlier. After all, except for these surgeons However, the mainstream treatment for internal medicine diseases at this time is still herbal medicine plus prayer.

The doctor promised to help Zhang Heng look for it. If it is really effective, he does not plan to take Zhang Heng's money. Anyway, the cost of the treatment room will be borne by the Gladiator School, which is why he is willing to accept the invitation to be a doctor here. The reason is that in addition to generous remuneration, he can also get many opportunities to verify his medical theories.

It was not until evening that Zhang Heng returned to his residence again.

During this period, the old Persian trainer did not come to him again, as if he had been forgotten.
