Taking advantage of Quintus' trip to other cities, Ludia ordered all the gladiators and slaves in the training ground to wash their bodies carefully with olive oil, and then had the guards take them to the palatial mansion.

In the hall, there are three beautiful slave girls wearing ribbons, dancing to the music, the table is filled with grapes, apples, apricots, peaches, cherries, pears, plums, strawberries and other fruits in delicate silver plates, and dozens of Roman ladies and maidens dressed in various bright colors sit on chaise longues and laugh.

Ludia clapped her palms lightly, and the guards at the training ground brought in Li Nan and the other gladiators and slaves and made them stand in a line.

Dozens of defenseless, beautiful young slave girls walked out with wooden plates in their hands, on which were the masks of Roman male gods.

The female slaves put on a mask for each male **, and then ripped off the crotch cloth on their bodies, and the bright candlelight shone on the oiled skin of the slaves, fully revealing the strong physique and temperament of the males.

Ludia smiled and said to the many Roman ladies, "Thank you very much for coming to the Battitas family, I have prepared an exciting program for you tonight. You don't have to worry about anything, because each of you can choose a mask to cover your beautiful face, and I promise that tonight's events will never be passed on. ”

When the lonely Roman ladies heard these words from Ludia, they looked at each other and chuckled lightly, and one after another stood up and walked into the back curtain.

After a few minutes, all of these noblewomen were unbound and walked out wearing masks of various goddesses on their heads.

Li Nan, who was treated as a commodity, stood in a row for people to watch, and had already guessed what would happen next, although he felt some humiliation, but men and women felt different about this kind of thing, and he could still accept such insults.

Vero had always been worried that Li Nan would be angry, and at this time, he was secretly relieved to see that his good friend had no special behavior.

Among the slaves and gladiators standing in a row, Li Nan was undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of physique and some aspects, so the most Roman noblewomen wearing the masks of goddesses came to him.

After living in this training ground for a while, all the slaves and gladiators were already very familiar with each other due to bathing and other reasons, and Li Nan knew that Kress, known as the god of war in Capua, was actually not bad in shape and in some aspects, but it was a little strange that he did not appear in the hall at this time.

The noblewoman with the mask of the goddess Venus seemed to be the most noble, as the other Roman noblewomen saw that she was interested in Li Nan and turned away to select the other slaves and gladiators.

The next thing is a little difficult to describe, Li Nan, as an outstanding person, has been favored by many Roman noblewomen, so he had to work hard all night again and again with the psychology of obeying orders and practicing exercises......

Although this secret gathering was a bit tiring, Li Nan also gained a lot, not only did the "Weide Sutra" gain something, but the Roman noblewoman with an excellent figure and the mask of the goddess Venus also secretly rewarded him with an Orre gold coin, and the other seven or eight women also gave him more than 30 dinars of silver, which can be described as a good income.

Taking advantage of Quintus's departure from the city for a few days, Ludia held secret meetings one after another, and the new slaves such as Li Nan and Vero were still trained like dead dogs by Docott during the day, and had to serve those noble ladies at night, which could be said to be painful and pleasant, but their fighting skills were constantly improving and perfecting.

When Quintus returned, Ludia seemed to be worried that her husband would find out, so she quietly stopped this secret meeting for the Roman noblewomen, and the lives of Li Nan and the others were dull.

When Li Nan got the Auray gold coin, he was worrying about how to hide the money in the training ground, but there was a prompt sound from the system answerer in his head, and the gold coins used to complete the task could be directly collected by the system.

After the gold coins were taken away by the system, the mission progress became 1/1000, and in the face of this difficult task, Li Nan could only continue to train as a slave, hoping to earn more money after becoming a gladiator.

Li Nan didn't dare to repay the money of a cunning villain like Ashur, so he hurriedly gave him the remaining dinars, and in addition to returning the twenty silver coins owed, the rest of the money continued to be used to buy meat.

Three or four days later, in the morning, while all the slaves and gladiators were training as usual, seven more new slaves were brought into the courtyard, and Li Nan and Vero leaned against the corner, looking at the newcomers like the other gladiators.

Docot, the tall black trainer, still said the opening sentence as he did with Li Nan and others: "What are the soles of your feet? Tell me! ”

Li Nan guessed that these new slaves would definitely get the dismount of these gladiators like himself, so he was a little too lazy to look at it, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Things were as Li Nan expected, but among the new slaves was a Thracian strongman, a prisoner of war who was beaten by gladiators in the arena and killed everyone and survived.

Capable people will have some unruly characteristics, so Dorcott sent Kressie, the number one master in the training ground, just like he had taught Li Nan a lesson.

This new Thracian slave was even worse than the former Li Nan, although he had a genuine Roman short sword in his hand, but he was still beaten to the ground by Kress with a wooden sword, and if it were not for the signal of the master Quintus, he would have been killed by Kress.

When Kress taunted the Thracian slave, Li Nan also knew the name of this man, and his original name was no longer known, so Quintus, the master of the training ground, called him by the name of the King of Guslay, and called him Spartacus.

After the new slaves finished eating, they were still faced with high-intensity training, and when they came to the dining hall at noon, they were also faced with wheat porridge sprinkled on the dirty ground.

A tiger can't do anything in the midst of the wolves, not to mention that for these new slaves, every gladiator in the training ground is a vicious lion.

Spartacus was as angry as Li Nan before, but he could only endure this breath and silently left the dining hall.

Li Nan, who had suffered this kind of hardship, had a feeling of sympathy for these newcomer slaves, so he quietly took his small half bowl of wheat porridge and came outside.

"Let's eat something, although there is not much food, but it is better than nothing."

Spartacus looked at Li Nan with some surprise and asked curiously, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Li Nan smiled and handed the porridge bowl to Spartacus, "Because I also came from you at this time, and I have suffered all this." ”

Spartacus showed a slight expression of gratitude, and after taking Li Nan's porridge bowl, he ate all the wheat porridge in a few bites.

Looking at the short-haired Spartacus, Li Nan suddenly asked, "Have I seen you?" ”

Hearing Li Nan's words, Spartacus also looked at him carefully, and then said hesitantly: "Are you a Serrese who is on the same ship as me?" ”

It's really not easy to meet the old acquaintance here, Li Nan thought of the Thracian man, and hurriedly asked, "What about Zhuonas?" Isn't he with you? ”

"Dronas ......"

Spartacus showed a sad look and said slowly: "We, the prisoners of war from Thrace, were all brought to the arena, and they were all killed by gladiators, leaving me alone. ”

"Alas!" Hearing this result, Li Nan could only sigh, patted Spartacus on the shoulder and said, "I can't help you much here, you can ask for more blessings." ”

"Thank you!" Spartacus said gratefully.

In the days that followed, high-intensity training, inability to eat, and feces and urine were mixed with food, all kinds of torture that Li Nan and others had tasted reappeared on this batch of new slaves.

One night on the eve of the Festival of the Gods, all the slaves and gladiators were gathered in the open space of the training ground, and many torches were lit around it, illuminating a makeshift wooden platform.

On the second-floor balcony, Quintus and his beautiful wife, Ludia, watched from the railing, surrounded by heavily armed guards.

After receiving the master's signal, the black trainer Docot looked at the slaves of Li Nan and Spartacus and said loudly: "Waste, the time has come to prove your worth, if you lose, you will be sold to the mine, and if you win, you will become a glorious gladiator, whether you live or die is your own choice!" ”
