And the podium was also boiling. Of course, the nobles were not very interested in which team won the championship. It was only after they learned that this team belonged to the Grace family that they congratulated Cartus obsequiously, and then they got together to discuss the goal they were really interested in, that is, to shine brilliantly and show their extraordinary strength in the competition.
The seats of ordinary spectators in the stands allow them to see clearly the course of the competition just now. However, the elaborately arranged rostrum and sufficient bright fire are enough for the nobles to appreciate every detail of the competition. Therefore, Orca’s bravery and keen mechanism have made some aristocrats who love sports drool. Although Orca belongs to the Grace family, they still hope that they can buy it at a high price. After all, the Grace family has never paid much attention to the fighting industry. Once Orca is available, it is almost conceivable how powerful the fighting team will become. Isn’t it that the financial resources are rolling in all over the empire?
In the back row, those aristocrats who started fighting or loved fighting were whispering while carefully peeping at Cartus’s back. At the same time, Cartus people were staring at the Orca figure expression in the arena’s slow exit, and they could not help but take a hint of interest.
"Is father also interested in this dragon?" At this time, Juan watched his father’s face show conation, so he immediately leaned over and whispered, "I’m afraid this name is really fierce. I’m afraid it’s one warrior in a thousand, so I’ll give it to Hernandez. * * With his killer weapon, my Grace family gladiator team will be able to make a name for itself in the future and earn inexhaustible wealth."
Cartus sat still and listened, but he turned his head with a slight sigh with a hint of disappointment. "Juan, is this why you think I suddenly became interested in a gladiator? Hey Juan, do you know what I decided to get rid of Alfonso at all costs? He learned the secret of the year by chance, which is of course the reason why I had to do it, but it is not necessary to take the risk of assassinating him because Alfonso threatened you! "
Juan was stuck in the middle of Cartus’s words.
With another sigh, Cartus went on to say, "Speaking of which, you and Alfonso are both the best in the family, but ask yourself, Juan, do you think you are more intelligent than Alfonso?"
Cartus’s remarks have already made Juan, who wants to talk, stupid again. At this time, he also reacted. He could not help but bow his head gloomily and admitted that "Alfonso is indeed much higher than me in intelligence."
However, Juan said that Cartus smiled. "Well, since you are willing to admit your shortcomings, you know yourself. This makes me very gratified. Rest assured that Alfonso is a dying man, and your life has just been tempered. Remember never to let jealousy blind you to judge and despise your opponent. The consequences are often reversible tragedies. Well, let’s not discuss these things. Speaking of that dragon gladiator, I suddenly have a little interest, which is not what he can bring to our Grace family. How much are we urgent? What is needed is all kinds of talented people. Although Mr. pius has been obedient for so many years, the old guy is a sly fox. After dispatch troops, he has to guard against it. However, those private soldiers in the family lack a commander who can be independent. Without an absolutely loyal army, it is difficult for us to stand firm! "
Cartus said Juan is a full face of surprise color face is full of incredible expression bass asked "father, do you want to …? But this dragon is just a lowly gladiator! "
Cartus eyes a fine mans circulation with "identity can represent? Just now, the dragon in the decisive battle showed his composure and ruthless ingenuity. I dare say that even those corps commander in today’s empire can’t compete with this person for qualification. It’s a perfect diamond! A little carving will make us shine, and if we don’t care about our identity, we will make great efforts to win over this person. Can’t we make this person return to his heart completely? One day, this person may become a star as good as Scipio and agrippa. Sometimes the risk is always in direct proportion to the income. Unfortunately, most Romans are born with a lack of economic strength. Otherwise, if our ancestors can take deep roots in intertwined Iberia and accumulate such a huge family business? "
Juan will not refute what he thinks when he hears it. On the surface, he is immediately humbly instructed to nod. "Since my father has decided to prepare his identity immediately after the game, it is still necessary to go through some investigation. After all, he is a stranger and seems to hide something from his past. Not all gladiators know how to fight and Latin and Germanic."
"hmm? He also speaks Latin and Germanic? " Hearing this, Cartus’s face can’t hide his surprise. Interrupted and asked.
Juan couldn’t help but see his father’s expression and suddenly explained, "Did my father let me go to the gladiator training camp to decorate?" While living in a training camp, I have seen him train and compete. Although I have seen him several times privately, I heard from Alfonso that this gladiator can not only write a good Latin, but also speak German fluently and even British. Moreover, from his speech and manners, he can’t see the slightest rudeness and wildness. On the contrary, he is quite aristocratic. Everything he says and does is calm and humble. "
"Oh, there is such a thing? ！” Juan’s voice fell, and this time Cartus couldn’t help but feel shocked. He asked in a slightly urgent tone consciously, "So it seems that there may be some secrets about the origin of this person. You must find out after the contest, which may be a great help to our plan!"
"Don’t worry, father," Juan should answer.
"Wait a minute is a one-man war, but if you want to win, you won’t fall into another house. Then there’s nothing worth seeing. After Toulouse’s speech, dispatch troops plans immediately! I don’t trust you to ask Odom to supervise the arrangement of an arena and the gluttons of the public security brigade. I don’t want the city to be in chaos, so I will lift a rock and drop it on my own feet! "
"Father, don’t worry, I’ll do it at once. It’s whether those nobles need a final warning." Juan asked when he just wanted to get up and thought of those nobles who were forced to participate in the matter and had unwilling hearts.
"Ha ha, a group of rats just need to worry that their families are under the surveillance of the Assassin’s Union. What other strange thoughts can they have besides being willing to follow suit?" Listen to Juan to those who were coerced to sign the list. Cartus, an accomplice of the nobility and knight class, flashed his hand and said, "I have to temporarily rely on their influence and family influence for these wastes. When we establish a new kingdom and enfeoffment a group of confidants, the kingdom will have new blood and be loyal to our solid foundation. These moths will be of little value. Then I will get rid of them one by one."
"Father’s opinion" heard Cartus point out without hesitation that after the event, the birds did their best to hide their wily rabbits and dead stooges, and Juan’s eyes flashed a hideous color, and then he got up and strode into the special passage of the rostrum.
At this time, the Grace family preparation room is already a sea of jubilation!
Whet it’s a fighter who accompany but didn’t have a chance to participate in that competition or a fighter who was unfortunately eliminated in a single-player battle, and those warriors who were injure in the battle, everyone was frantically waving their weapons and banging on what they could find beside them, making a loud and enthusiastic sound, and surrounded them, including several gladiators who took part in the last group battle, but it was not Orca who held him high and threw him half-way. At the same time, everyone was screaming at the name of "Dragon Warrior" in unison!
"Good good guys we are champions! We should hurry to celebrate, shouldn’t we? Do you want to leave me like this until dawn? " Being in the semi-Orca is also full of smiles at this moment, which is the feeling. To tell the truth, it is not as comfortable as it looks, and shouted with a smile.
In response to Oka, everyone laughed heartily, so Oka was finally released, but there were still many people rushing to give Oka one bear hug after another! This is a man’s sincere friendship!
"Dragon, you will have a solo fight later!" At this time, Gary kass, who was a little thin, suddenly squeezed a head avenue from a pile of muscular men with big arms and big waist.
"Oh Dragon, you must be the winner!" As soon as Garrikas called, everyone’s excitement subsided a little, but soon after everyone gave Orca a nearly non-stop hat, it seemed as if anyone who dared not award the championship directly to Orca was sorry for his conscience! Listening to the buzzing praise in my ear, even Orca couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed and in distress situation, so as to seize an opportunity to escape and drill out from the crazy crowd.
Ten minutes later.
"Today’s final glory several people fight bravely! Grace family gladiators stood out and won the team battle championship! Let us give these warriors the highest glory! "
Cheer like a tide
"At this moment, many of them have poured boiling blood and still make this sand feel a little warm! However, this arena is more than any other arena. It is a beast! It is far from satisfied! Later, finally, the warriors will belong to one person! Finally, here the warriors will and will fight by themselves! The war is in their hearts and will also burn in this final arena! "
The rostrum city official is full of passion. Turusko finished his last speech! The field is boiling!
However, when Toulouse was obese and just sat down, Orca slowly walked into the stadium with double swords, which made everyone unbelievable!
Not gladiators, but slaves ran out of other aisles. At the same time, they announced to the audience around the stands that they gave up the final battle!
Laurel! Oka won without fighting!
Section 50 Counter-insurgency
Compared with the brightly lit and crowded arena, Salamanca is already dead at night. Except for the occasional clang, teams of Roman soldiers from the deputy armed security brigade slowly walk through the road. Whether it is an apartment or a mansion, a temporary curfew is strictly enforced to ensure the order during the competitive competition.
Most of the residents returned to their homes early, or the Grace family generously distributed food to the residents in the whole city who could not go to the arena to watch the game today, enjoyed a rare meal, or the family got together to chat regretfully and fantasize about what wonderful game was going on in the arena.
However, the seemingly calm Salamanca is pregnant with an unimaginable terrorist storm!
A street is patrolled by a one-man security team along the established route. At this moment, there are hundreds of teams scattered all over the streets and alleys of Salamanca. If they are on duty at night, they will usually be equipped with wooden sticks to defend themselves and beat thieves and robbers when necessary. But today is obviously very special. They are not only required to wear solid shields, but also have genuine sharp swords hanging from their waists!
At present, the commander-in-chief of this squad is a knight, but this knight title is not a knight famous in the feudal era of Europe in later generations, but only a title granted to citizens by the Roman Empire. Knights enjoy some benefits higher than civilians, but they are not nobles, but still belong to the civilian class, and they are not like later knights, most of whom are professional soldiers who can inherit the Lord from generation to generation, but are equivalent to the social class where private capitalists make their fortune mainly through banking, credit (actually usurers), business tax and other industries.
Compared with today’s Rome, more and more bourgeois knights are superior in life and interests, so the knight class is becoming more and more rich and poor, which is extremely divided into the elite of Roman cities. If you are lucky, the knight can get some important officials from the city officials, such as justices of the peace and magistrates, who are too high for the rich to see.
However, Vorenus is very satisfied. He is just a landlord who runs a small wine shop. Although he still owns a piece of land outside the city, it is impossible to regard this small property as a matter of fact.
Speaking of it, thanks to the wine made by his family, it is well known that wine is almost an indispensable drink in Roman society, and there is no doubt that the Roman nobles enjoy pure wine after the grapes are squeezed for the first time. However, if all wines are served on the wine table through these necessary procedures, the taste will not be the same, so almost all winemaking workshops in Rome are also bartenders, and they will try to add various seasonings or study special techniques to make the wine taste more beautiful, but most winemaking. The winemaker failed in the end, but he, Vorenus, was lucky enough to get a seasoning made of honey, turpentine and other things. He was ecstatic to find that after adding this seasoning, the wine he brewed was more mellow and better than mellow, which was simply a nectar!
Facts have proved that his judgment soon made his wine famous in Salamanca and exported to all parts of Spain, and it was favored by many nobles. Thanks to the appreciation of some nobles, he jumped out of the knight class and not only got this position, but also got greater respect in social status.
In this way, Vorenus is satisfied enough. He has never been more ambitious and has never bred too many desires. Basically speaking, he is an honest businessman. He works hard to make money with one purpose, that is, to make his life better. He is not even a profiteer. When he is rich, he often distributes food to the poor people in the city or hires them at a high salary. His other business is simply called kindness and simplicity.
It turned out that he could enjoy such a wonderful life with peace of mind, but just a week ago, when his boss invited him to dinner with other colleagues at home, after the banquet words hinted, Vorenus suddenly realized that his life had fallen into a huge trap!
He is very clever. He can understand the implied meaning in his words. There is no doubt that this is a former team. He must make a choice. If he quits, no one knows what the result will be. Maybe it is the best situation to be completely suppressed and deprived of his family property. Just find an excuse to kill him and then destroy his body. What is it to a group of crazy people who want to rebel?
Vorenus felt that he was going crazy. When he got home, he was completely different. He was depressed, irritable and taciturn. He looked at his relatives around him. He called in sick and then put himself in the basement thinking hard about how to choose to swallow him up with all the pressure. No one could help him. He was an ordinary person, but he had to face a difficult decision that one wrong step might bring trouble to his family.
