On the way to the Stone Chamber of Mendo, Zeus then asked, "Can I say that they are my men, and who are they?"

"You have to make them your subordinates willingly. The old priest gently held the little mouse with one hand, and the deep lines in his palm made Zeus feel very comfortable, and it was especially warm in it, and Zeus could just put his little thin legs in it.

"They're definitely worse than the other!"

Don't be discouraged so early and think about what Jesus did. ”

"Is he Jesus?"

"You're his unique holy rat!"

Zeus listened to this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, in addition to the old and immortal life, he could occasionally break through the barriers between the world and hell and heaven, and even a cat with a little arrogance couldn't deal with it.

As for Shag and Dura, that's a long story.

"You're here to help me deal with Mendo?" Zeus, of course, knew that the old priest's sudden visit late at night was not entirely intended.

"Even if it is! I'm still interested in this notorious heretic. ”

"He'll break your neck without waiting to hear your nagging. ”

"That's what I thought about. ”

"You're not afraid?"

"I haven't experienced the so-called fear in decades, and occasionally I miss it. ”

The old priest's words made Zeus only stare there.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

The single stone room with many doors can be called decent—but only for the lowly status of the gladiators.

His plank bed was covered with a perfect tiger skin, and on the walls were all kinds of animal and human heads—people from different regions and races, and it was nothing that Menduo showed his ferocity by exhibiting death. It is not difficult to kill a person, but to make it extremely painful requires some kind of unique skill - it is not difficult to see from the extremely hideous, terrifying expressions on each face.

Mendo was indeed a rare expert at killing, and Zeus, who had been in the arena for hundreds of years, could not help but be shocked every time he glanced into this stone chamber.

Mendo hadn't slept yet, he was patiently sharpening his short knife on the whetstone, it was the most handy weapon he could use, so at any given moment, Mendo would let it chill out.

The outer wall of the stone chamber was also lined with iron gates, so as soon as several visitors appeared, Mendo turned their iron-blue faces towards them—in fact, Mendo had already heard their footsteps when they were still far away.

The ears of gladiators were usually unusually sharp.

Seeing them, Mendo just grinned and sneered.

"It's really disturbing to come here so late. The old priest opened his mouth first, and listened to his tone, as if he was not a stranger to the door.

Mendo's entire body seems to be made of pig iron, and if there is really a powerful titan in this world, it should be Mendo's appearance, right?

To describe his height and Kong Wu is really redundant, only to say that the height of the old priest has only reached the distance slightly above the navel of Menduo.

When he stood up, the contrast was enough to destabilize Zeus—he had never looked at the upright door at such a close distance.

On weekdays, even if he stood on Shag's head, he could only barely reach Mendo's knees - not to mention the murderous aura on Mendo's body, which always made Shag dare not approach, so he always kept Zeus far away.

Now, Shag was trying his best to hide in the distance, even if Zeus turned around and glared at him in annoyance, he couldn't do anything.

"When your own father sees you looking like a bear now, he will be so ashamed and annoyed that he can't bite his tongue and kill himself—where has the blood of the wolf king in your body gone?"

Now, the Agitation Law has nothing to do at all, Shag is no longer a descendant of the Wolf King, and he is not even as good as a stupid donkey at the moment.

"Who are you?" Mendo's tone was full of contempt, as if standing outside his stone was an upright bedbug.

This tone made Zeus nameless angry, and he shook his head violently, but when he saw Mendo's face of the living death, he died down again.

He shrunk as far as he could into the old priest's palm, wishing he could be invisible.

'It doesn't matter who I am, it's important – you're not going to play tomorrow. ”

"It's your business!"

"Of course it's none of my business, because I'm not the one who's competing with you. ”

Mendo glanced at the old priest with a mocking look of "it's up to you":

"It was Tunai who asked you to intercede, right?"

"I don't know Tunai. ”

"What the hell, you don't even know each other, and you're still meddling?"

"You're a rare good man, and I don't want to watch you die. ”

These words immediately enraged the door, and he stabbed the short knife out of the space between the iron gates with a loud "horn", and stabbed it straight into the nose of the old priest.

The tip of the knife was against the tip of his nose, but the old priest didn't even blink an eye.

Mendo was a little stunned, and it stands to reason that according to the position where the old priest stood, almost on the iron gate, the short knife must have stabbed into his face!

He could see it more clearly, and the old priest didn't flinch—he didn't move at all, why was the tip of the dagger only on the tip of his nose?

"You're looking for death!" Mendo roared, drawing his dagger and stabbing it even harder.

This time, the dagger touched the old priest's face, but it turned into pig iron water and flowed down.

Mendo was completely out of control, and he was furious, and stretched out two huge palms along the gap between the iron gates, and grabbed the old priest by the collar - all he wanted to do next was to put together the brute force in his hand and crush the old priest's neck.

"You're doing the stupidest thing in the world, and your brute force won't let you win every time, but it will bring you closer and closer to destruction. ”

"I'll let you know what destruction is right now!"

I don't know how all this happened, but the iron gate was left untouched, but the leopard pounced on it. As soon as she opened her mouth, she bit one of Mendo's arms. With a "click", the stout arm as thick as a stone pillar was broken—the right arm, broken from the elbow.

The door screamed with all his might, and then fell backwards, his head hitting the sharp whetstone, and all his mind was shattered for a moment.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Early the next morning, when a large group of generals and guards came to investigate the matter, Zeus did not know what to do.

At that time, the sky was just dawning, and I don't know who leaked the news, and a large group of patriarchs, courtiers who had been idle for a long time, and nobles who were idle all day long...... It's almost impossible to get through the underground enclosure of the gladiatorial arena.

After many days of meticulous rehearsal for the emperor, Mendo was supposed to command many costumed gladiators to perform, but now, overnight, he is crippled!

Who will hand over the beast show that will be staged at noon to complete it?

All the people were in a difficult situation, Zeus couldn't hide, his small hole was blocked three layers inside and three layers outside, countless pairs of strange eyes, eagerly looking inside-on weekdays, even those patriarchs did not dare to disturb the peace of the holy rat easily, but now, they couldn't care so much, they all wanted to seek a reasonable explanation from the all-knowing and all-powerful holy rat in their minds, and ask for an effective solution.

"Holy rat with great powers, please do well and show us a clear way!"

"Don't bother me, I don't know anything!" Zeus cried out angrily, burying his little body in the thick bed.

"There is no one in the gladiatorial arena who can replace Mendo, and we have already informed His Majesty the Emperor of this gladiatorial performance, the Emperor has been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Suddenly, Zeus had an idea: "Isn't there still Tunai?"

"He's going to compete. ”

"Then I'm out of the question. ”

They asked Zeus what had happened last night, and Zeus simply ignored them.

"Without a lot of command, so many beasts will just mess around. "Everyone was sad.

"If we can't see the performance, will His Majesty the Emperor think that we are bullying the monarch?"

"I shouldn't have prepared any beast fights if I knew I wouldn't have done so. ”

"The emperor is at this age, and this is what he likes to watch the most. ”

"Bloody gladiatorial fights, it is said, are not to the emperor's liking. ”

"Our boy emperor loved beautiful statues and Naxos. ”

Hearing this, there was a suppressed laugh from the crowd.

But everyone was still at a loss, the sun had fully risen, and they still had no countermeasures.

What Zeus couldn't figure out was why the old priest disappeared out of thin air again after Mendo was bitten last night - what the hell was he here for?

After meeting twice, Zeus felt like he had been tricked twice, and this feeling was really wretched!

At this moment, a cry that was close to exclamation suddenly came from outside:

"Oh, noble Olympius—"

"The great Olympius, who shines like the sun and the moon—"

"We're so excited to meet you!"

Who is Olympius?

Zeus had a big question mark hanging above his head, and the name seemed to be heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Out of curiosity, he got up from the little bed and made his way to the mouth of the cave, where the people who had gathered around him had gone away, and now they were all gathered around a big white fat man.

Looking out of the hole, it was a mess outside, and everyone was eager to flatter and curry favor with the big white fat man, and Zeus felt disgusted to see that face.

Look at the white fat man again, greased and powdered, at first glance, he is a eunuch - it seems that he is the person next to the emperor, no wonder he is so spirited!

His costume was so gorgeous that it was almost exaggerated, making him look more like a poorly dressed play, and if that face hadn't been covered with so much fat, he would have been a beautiful man.

The most exaggerated thing is that his belly is so big and round, and it needs two five or six-year-old children to support it with their hands before he can walk forward step by step.

The underground of the gladiatorial arena was very cold, because there was not the slightest sunlight in it all year round, but after only a few steps, the pompous and ridiculous eunuch was already sweating like rain. He kept wiping his sweat with his handkerchief, and said breathlessly:

"I've heard it all - how can this happen, so disappointing people?"

Those senators, courtiers, and nobles hurriedly grovelled and apologized:

"It's been almost ten years, right? This is His Majesty's second return to Rome, how did they all do their errands?

He counted them down again for a long time, and then he shook his hand, as if he were reluctant to do it, and how generous he was:

"You can't watch the emperor punish you for your crimes, can you? You just didn't do your errands well, and you didn't have your heart set up—fortunately, I kept a hand early and prepared a big surprise for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Hearing this, the group of people who were still pale just now were suddenly overjoyed.

Seeing them like this, the fat man's face sank again: "When is it? You are still rubbing here, don't you all go to greet the emperor?"

Everyone panicked, everyone was scrambling, as if they were trying to grab something out of thin air.

Then, they flocked to the underground exit of the gladiatorial arena in large numbers, and you pushed me and squeezed me, all trying to get out one step ahead of others.

After about a quarter of an hour, the outside finally calmed down, and Zeus, who was leaning against the entrance of the cave, let out a long breath.

But suddenly, a sharp, glowing dagger stabbed in with a "whoosh".

When the short sword stabbed in, Zeus subconsciously dodged back. Who will murder him in broad daylight?

Then a fluffy, cute little head came in, for the hole was small, and only the front face came in, and the soft mouth held the short sword, which looked so incongruous.

"Mary, what are you doing?" Zeus jumped over and struggled to take the dagger with his two front paws, but he couldn't hold it at all, only heard a "horn" and the dagger fell to the ground.
