Chapter 817: Not that bad

Views:

Although Zhang Heng won the gladiatorial performance, he has more things to do next.

Although he was awarded the training sword symbolizing freedom by the Roman emperor under the witness of more than 90,000 people, he will go to the "House of Freedom" on Trajan's Square with Marcus next, and he will be on the census list Change your slave status to a Roman citizen.

In this way, he can be considered to have fully obtained the status of Roman citizenship.

After that, he will go back to the place where he lived before to pack his things, say goodbye to a few acquaintances, and move out of the gladiator school, and during this period he has to negotiate with Marcruz.

In addition, Commodus also gave him a wink when he left. The young emperor's intention to recruit him was obvious, and he obviously wanted him to come to see him immediately after finishing the work at hand.

In addition, Zhang Heng also needs to meet with the old Persian trainer to find out whether this incident was planned by the Blade of Balance, because if it is not, it may mean that he has been targeted by other forces .

Looking at it this way, he is still quite busy.

Fortunately, things can be done one by one.

After the performance, Zhang Heng first returned to the waiting room, where almost all the other gladiators left, only Bach and Teryphilos remained.

Probably because of the nervous breakdown caused by the performance that had been prepared in advance, Teryphilos seemed a little afraid of seeing Zhang Heng, but after much hesitation, the big man stayed and decided to express his gratitude.

He is not a fool, of course he knows how much he has gained this time. With his wonderful performances before, he has also left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience, his status is second only to Zhang Heng, especially when Zhang Heng is free, Meaning he's actually the hottest gladiator after the show.

Although Telyphilos still feels that his ranking is a bit misleading until now.

And Zhang Heng seemed to see what he was thinking in his heart, and he took the initiative to say, "What's your trouble, you are the best gladiator besides me."

Telyphilos was taken aback when he heard the words, as if it was true.

He himself is one of the favorites of the first echelon to win the championship, and it just so happens that Satonillos and others played poorly. Some even failed the first round and were ordered to be executed by the angry audience, while the rest of them had poor results. , Telyphilos counted with his fingers, probably except for the Germans around him, no one could pose a threat to him.

However, Bach's style is very similar to his, and they all follow the flow of strength, but their strength is obviously not as good as his. When the two face off, Bach's chances of winning are slim.

So looking at it this way, there is actually nothing wrong with the ranking of Trophilos, but the process is a bit watery.

But why was he so awkward before? Telyphilos thought about it again, probably because the shock Zhang Heng gave him was too strong, and the difference in strength between the two was so great that even Tephiphilos began to doubt himself.

"You are so strong, you look like a monster." Trophilos said with emotion, "But you don't look too old, I can't imagine how you practiced all your martial arts. Fortunately, I I probably won’t meet you again after that, my master has been complaining about the high cost of accommodation in the city, I guess we will leave Rome tonight.”

After Teryphilos finished speaking, he stretched out his two thick arms and hugged Zhang Heng.

After the result, he listened to Dongfang Ren in front of him, "That's not necessarily true."

"Um?"

"As long as your boss is not stupid, he should consider how to sell you after this performance."

Telyphilos widened his eyes when he heard the words, and seemed a little surprised, "No, no, we are very close, not like ordinary masters and slaves, but more like old friends. We have always depended on each other and toured various places. , not to mention my performance this time is good, he has no reason to sell me."

Zhang Heng was noncommittal about the relationship between the two, but said, "No matter how much friendship you have, selling you to him, or even the two of you, is the best choice. After this gladiatorial performance, you will become famous in the city of Rome." You should get a lot of viewers who like you, so you can only maximize your value and earn the most money by staying here, but your master probably doesn’t have the financial resources to move his gladiator school here. The other gladiator schools here are not vegetarian, and you alone cannot sustain the school, so selling you is his only option."

After listening to Zhang Heng's words, Telyphilos subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't say anything. This big man knew that Zhang Heng was telling the truth, even though it was a bit cruel.

"Don't worry, you should be able to sell it for a good price. With this money, he will be able to go home for the elderly, and if you stay in Rome, you can get much more than wandering around outside." Zhang Heng said.

Although he had accepted what was about to happen in his heart, Telyphilos still wanted to talk to his master first, so he left in a hurry without saying anything.

After that, only Zhang Heng and Bach were left in the lounge.

The two are also the only two remaining gladiators in the Victor Arena. Except for those who were eliminated before, Habitus let Bach get rid of them, and the other gladiator named Murkazan, Because the performance was too bad, the audience asked to be executed.

But before Bach could say anything, he heard footsteps from outside the door.

The person who came seemed to be in a panic and eagerness, which could be heard from his chaotic footsteps, and it was the first time Zhang Heng and Bach knew that when they saw the person rushing in, they usually needed slaves to walk. Marcruz, who was supported by him, was able to run by himself, and he ran not too slowly.

"How could they do this to me?!" The middle-aged Roman wailed as soon as he saw Zhang Heng, "Is it easy for me? I spent money to buy you and trained so hard to cultivate an ace. Seeing It can be reproduced, no, it is to create a new glory and history of the Victor Arena, why is this road suddenly blocked again! You said that I was not bad to you before, and I will give you whatever you want. What, if I said no to a date, I had to bite the bullet and push down all those invitations, and I offended a lot of people because of this, did I get such a reward in the end?"

The more Marcruz said, the more sad he became, tears streaming down his face.

Zhang Heng had no choice but to remind him, "This decision was made by His Majesty the Emperor. If someone with a heart hears what you say, they may think that you are dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor."

Marcruz finally stopped his tears when he heard the words, but he couldn't hide the sadness on his face.

"It's actually not that bad. Even if I'm gone, isn't there still Bach? His performance in this gladiatorial performance is second only to me and Teryphilos."
