The cool moonlight shrouded this Roman aristocratic mansion like a tulle, and in such a hazy moonlight, people washed away the fatigue of the day and came here to party. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWheat from Sicily, olive oil grown in Rome, grapes from Gaul, tables made of ivory, marble pillars, everything here reflects the extravagance of the Roman aristocracy.

"You're the legendary gladiator who fought against ten in the arena that day?"

After Victoria left, another Roman aristocratic woman walked up and stood in front of Zhang Ce. But judging by the woman's appearance, she was different from all the other Roman aristocratic women.

First of all, it is more appropriate to call her a maiden rather than a woman or a woman. The delicate and small face is not whitewashed, but the elegant and noble temperament has no trace of artificiality, and the white and loose clothes cannot hide her beautiful figure and curves. was accustomed to seeing Roman aristocratic women with heavy makeup, and the sudden appearance of a pure beautiful girl made Zhang Ce a little overwhelmed.

Judging from Zhang Ce's previous conversations with Roman aristocratic women, he showed a kind of respect more often, but that was only superficial, and in his heart Zhang Ce was not used to these Roman aristocratic women. And although the Roman girl in front of her also belongs to the aristocracy, she reveals a fresh and refined atmosphere, and may not have been polluted by the entire social atmosphere?

The girl asked politely.

"One against ten is just a rumor, and the word legend is even more daring."

Zhang Ce stared at the girl for a full three seconds before he came to his senses, and then replied modestly.

"You're special."

The girl spoke again, but she still kept her distance from Zhang Ce, unlike other noble women, who came up and moved around the gladiator as she spoke.

"Really?"

Zhang Ce didn't know how to talk to this girl who was also a little different for a while. Just like before the crossing, otaku are always at a loss in front of beautiful women, and they blush without even saying a few words, Zhang Ce carried forward this fine tradition, standing in front of the girl, not knowing how to open the topic.

"You guys go down first, I want to talk to this gladiator alone."

The elegant aristocratic girl supported the guards, you know, Aduneus, although Zhang Ce is already an arena star, he still can't get rid of his status as a slave. No matter what the occasion, there were always two Roman soldiers who would keep an eye on the beast.

The guards were reluctant to leave, but the girl's identity seemed to be special, and after only two seconds of silence, the two Roman guards walked away with interest, but Zhang Ce's hands were still handcuffed.

"Come on, let's sit here and talk for a while."

Zhang Ce followed behind the Roman aristocratic girl, looking very uncomfortable. Although there were not many people around, the eyes were still full of strangeness.

The girl took Zhang Ce to a garden balcony, where there were not many people, and she could just see the beautiful scenery outside the balcony, this villa built on a hill, just overlooking half of the city of Rome.

Seeing such a beautiful night scene for the first time, the little otaku Zhang Ce suddenly had an urge to burst into tears, and the scenery that could only be seen in the movie before crossing over was perfectly replicated here. Oh, not to say it's a copy, but more beautiful than the scenery in the movie, the city of Rome is like a brilliant jewel in the night, reflecting the soft night scene in the bright moonlight. The scene of thousands of lights sets off its tranquility and elegance at this time.

"You've never seen anything like this?"

The girl looked at Aduneus in front of her and asked curiously. Zhang Ce turned his head and replied very easily, "Hmm." ”

"By the way, they say you're Spanish, but I think you're more like a Roman. What did you do before you became a gladiator? ”

The elegant girl first put the topic aside. The atmosphere of the conversation also quietly changed unconsciously. Maybe the girl in front of her doesn't see herself as a slave at all? Zhang Ce was a little pleased, but when he thought about it, it was unlikely, the concept of master and slave in this world has been deeply rooted, and without the advancement of the times, it is difficult for people to change this concept.

"Before I became a gladiator, I seemed to be a blacksmith's child? Or is it a fisherman who goes out to sea to fish and is rescued by someone in a storm? Anyway, I don't remember much, it seems to be a tragic injury, and I completely lost my memory of the time before I was rescued. ”

Zhang Ce replied very politely, not only in words, but also in demeanor. If this heavy shackle is removed, people will even forget the existence of his slave status.

"I'm curious how you managed to develop such a graceful demeanor and demeanor, I guess you must have been a Roman nobleman before you were injured."

The girl continued, seemingly rejoicing that she had found a different gladiator. And Zhang Ce actually knew that his body was indeed the body of a Roman nobleman before he crossed over, called Vibius. It's just that this name carries too many family strife and hatred. Except for Zhang Ce himself, he wouldn't tell anyone. In this bloody and crisis-ridden society, it's always good to have a little more scheming.

"It is my pleasure to be complimented by you, ma'am."

Zhang Ce replied very politely, and every time he answered and behaved so elegantly, the Roman girl in front of him had a new curiosity and expectation about Zhang Ce?

"Gladiators, do you know the history of Greece? Many of the nobles in Rome studied the classical culture of Greece, but I thought it was flashy, but my brother loved it. ”

The girl tried to talk to Zhang Ce more, maybe this gladiator with a special appearance and speech and demeanor would understand what he was talking about?

"Yes, Greek civilization is one of the brightest pages in human history, and its architecture, art, and philosophy are worthy of praise and study by future generations. In particular, philosophical achievements have produced three great philosophers - Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. ”

When Zhang Ce said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears. It's been so long since I came to this ancient Roman society, and finally someone can talk to me about something other than eating, sleeping, and fighting, a few months ago, in the gladiator slave school, although I got along well with my comrades, but no one in the rude gladiators could talk about something other than fighting and shopping, and tonight, the appearance of this Roman aristocratic girl undoubtedly gave Zhang Ce a good window, at least a listening partner.

"You know Aristotle?"

The girl's voice suddenly rose up, and it seemed that she couldn't control her surprise.

"Well, he was a famous philosopher in ancient Greek history, a student of Plato, and a teacher of Alexander. He taught ......"

Zhang Ce stood in front of the girl and talked exaggeratedly, not noticing that the Roman girl's face had already appeared with an extremely surprised look.

The moonlight at night stretched the figures of the two men very long, and although the maiden's attendants were all around, the two seemed to have found a soulmate, extending the topic to all aspects - society, economy, and people's livelihood...... Completely ignoring the feelings and strange eyes of the people around them.

"You are the most polite and learned gladiator I have ever met, and it's a shame for someone like you to fight in the arena and be with those slaves."

"But I am a slave after all, a gladiator. Where can I go but the arena? ”

In the end, Zhang Ce still had to pull his thinking back to reality, no matter how much he knew about this era, it was something in his head after all, there was no suitable position, even if you had more knowledge, there was no place to play. But the only gain tonight is that at least I met a beautiful girl. Although I don't know her name yet, I don't know if I can see her again in the future.

"Perhaps I should introduce you to my brother, who is very fond of Greek literature and philosophy."

The girl was about to get up as she spoke, and at this time, the evening dinner party also came to an end.

"Your brother? What's his name? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ce felt that he was a little careless in speaking, a slave and a nobleman are completely different groups of people, such a question can only be produced among nobles, and no one among the slaves dares to ask the name of a nobleman so directly and boldly. The attendants quickly cast angry glances and even beat Zhang Ce's motives, but the girl quickly stopped them, and then naturally replied - "My brother's name is Octavian Turinus." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she left the balcony surrounded by the attendants, leaving Zhang Ce stunned in place for a long time, like a statue of ancient Rome, directly petrified...... Octavian, Augustus, Caesar's sole legal heir, the future founder of the Roman Empire's head of statehood, although now he is only an eleven or twelve year old.
