"What does it mean to let go of something properly?" The young emperor was a little puzzled.
Dio smiled, "You like wrestling, don't you?"
The young emperor subconsciously denied, "No, I just look at it occasionally to relax. I am too busy and have a lot of things to do every day. In fact, I was still thinking about issuing new coins before I left. I mean It means that the people in Rome may be able to get to know me initially through the subsequent gladiatorial performances, but in more remote places, I need to let them know that the empire has changed to a new emperor. I plan to have someone mint a coin with my head on it. The emperors of all dynasties have done this... "
"Yes, yes, I can understand that such a vast country needs you to rule, you must be exhausted, but because of this, we should enjoy our rare leisure time, shouldn't we?" Dio said, He beckoned, asked the servant to bring two more glasses of wine, took one for himself, and handed the other to the young emperor.
"You need to relax, we're not talking politics tonight."
The young emperor hesitated for a while, but took the glass of wine and drank it down, "Okay, then let us take a good look at the warriors here."
The masters of the gladiator schools had been waiting for a long time. After getting permission, they stepped forward to salute the elder Dior and the emperor of the empire, and then began to introduce their own gladiators.
"Your Majesty, this is the giant Trophilos. He is a Sarmatian. He was sold to the northeast of the empire when he was a boy. I found him in a very remote copper mine. Bought him when he was starving and skinny but I knew he was a born gladiator and once fed him and swapped his pick for a weapon he would be the best He is a fighter, and he did not disappoint me afterwards, I took him on a tour around the world, no one can beat him, his body contains endless power, just like a wild beast."
A long, dry old man who looked like a mummy said so, and after he finished speaking, he nodded to Telyphilos, who walked out of the crowd.
I have to admit that his tower-like figure is really oppressive. Seeing him move, Commodus' guards immediately became nervous and drew their weapons one after another.
"Never mind," said the young emperor, "let's see what he's going to do."
Telyphilos did not speak, and went straight to the fountain in the center of the front hall. He rubbed his hands, then bent down, and hugged the marble statue in front of the fountain, which was as tall as a real person, with only one hand. .
Seeing this scene, all the guests who came to the banquet tonight let out a sound of amazement.
The mummy-like old man was complacent. On the contrary, the faces of the other masters of the gladiator school were solemn. There are many gladiators with outstanding strength, but none of them can do what this Sarmatian can do. With his overwhelming strength alone, he will become a strong contender for the championship of this gladiatorial show .
Telyphilos danced the marble statue twice more, and then put the statue firmly back in place, returning to the place where it stood before.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there are such powerful people in this world." The young emperor also excitedly said, "Is your nickname called a giant?"
Trophilos nodded.
"It's very suitable for you. I wish you good results in the subsequent gladiatorial performances." The young emperor seemed to be ignited with long-suppressed interest, and followed Dio to continue to the next goal.
"Araxois, from Diatila, has won nineteen consecutive victories, and is good at using tridents..."
"Danaus, a Thracian gladiator, we all know that the Thracians are rich in excellent gladiators, and Danaus is the best among them. He is best at cutting the opponent's throat..."
"Julicia, a Celtic, his body flexibility is amazing, and he is unmatched in close combat..."
"..."
As Dior and the young emperor continued to walk, they saw more and more gladiators. Any single one of them has many legends and is the trump card in the arena. However, now everyone put together, There is not much time left for everyone to introduce.
Except for the Sarmatian who had the vision before, most of the gladiators Commodus couldn't remember their names, and they just encouraged them to go to the next goal.
Zhang Heng knows that if this continues, he may not be able to complete the task assigned to him by the Blade of Balance, because although he has become famous during this period of time, coupled with Marcruz's packaging, many people in Rome have heard of it. His name, but he is only a rookie after all, and the record he can get is not as many as those old gladiators who have been famous for many years. Strictly speaking, he is only topical now, not legendary, and the biggest disadvantage to him Commodus came back from the front line, just missed the period when he became famous, and the latter had a lot of things on hand during this period, it is most normal that he has never heard of his name.
Zhang Heng knew that he had to find a way to attract Commodus' attention.
At this moment, the young emperor suddenly stopped in front of a gladiator, pointed at the latter and said in surprise, "Are you Satonillos?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to know my name." Satonillos bowed.
"Of course, I went to see your gladiator performance with my sister before I left the fallen horse. More than once, they said that Cisnatus is old, and you are the strongest gladiator in Rome. How about it? Are you confident this time? "
"I will dedicate victory and glory to you." Satonillos said.
Just when the two parties were in harmony, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, "I don't think His Majesty would like someone like you who can only talk big."
Satonillos' face changed suddenly. He looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who said this was actually an oriental man. Satonilos had no impression of this oriental man. Gladiators had gathered in the front hall before. At that time, the latter did not make any attention-grabbing moves, and Satonillos didn't know why the other party would take the initiative to provoke now.
However, he has never been a person who is provoked and endured. He respectfully said to Commodore, "Your Majesty, can I take care of my own affairs."
The young emperor guessed something. If it was in the past, he would most likely reject Satonillos' request, because if his father was here, he would definitely refuse. But at this time he remembered what Dior said before, since tonight is coming For fun, there is no need to be so serious, so he smiled and said, "Of course."
