The Viking Mountains are located in the north-central part of the province of Dacia, and further north is the inhospitable Viking Plateau. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it can be said that the market in the Viking Hills is the last prosperous place in the northern part of the province of Dacia, and further north, there are basically not many people.

Unlike other markets, Viking Mountain markets open every day after dark, and during the day, all businesses are closed. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the product.

The Viking Mountains themselves are on the high side, and most of the people who live here hunt for a living, so their goods are often the fur of their prey, and these prey are basically diurnal and nocturnal, so only hunting at night can they get the most benefits.

The most famous are the Dacian mountain tiger and the hill fox. In the entire Roman Empire, only the Viking Plateau had these two animals, and their habit was to come out at night to feed, so their fur had to be harvested at night. Their furs fetch a lot of money in the market, as they are scarce and difficult to catch, and they can be sold for at least 10,000 gold coins in other markets in the Empire, and more than 9,000 gold coins in this Viking Mountain market.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Zhan hurried over with the unconscious black tower, and when he saw the brightly lit market, he sped up his speed.

"Stop!" Just as Li Zhan and the Black Tower were about to enter the bazaar, a group of soldiers suddenly came to the entrance, holding long swords in their hands, and their armor was also very peculiar, as if it was not a Roman style, hanging on their bodies one by one like fish scales, and their helmets were different from those of the soldiers of the Roman Empire.

The soldiers of the Roman Empire, the strips on their helmets would be red stripes, and they stood upright, showing the desire to fight. However, the helmets of these soldiers are black strips, and they are loosely distributed on the helmets, which looks very strange.

"Who are you?!" The soldier at the head should be the captain of this squad, the color of his armor is different from that of other soldiers, and it is shining silver in the light, compared to the yellow scale armor of other soldiers, it is different, I saw his long sword unsheathed, and asked Li Zhan with a serious expression, "This is the market in the Viking Mountains, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Zhan felt very strange, of course he knew that this was the market of the Viking Mountains, but the Viking Mountains belonged to the province of Dacia, and according to the territory, they also belonged to the Roman Empire, but these soldiers in front of him were obviously not soldiers of the Roman Empire, and their way of questioning was also different from that of Roman soldiers.

"I'm Li Zhan from Karst Town, Dacia Province, now that the Persian army has captured the port of Guardianland and the town of Cust, and Mario has defected to Persia, I think the entire Dacia Province will be invaded by the Persian army next..."

Although he was not a Roman soldier, he was at least not a Persian soldier, and now he told everything honestly, telling him that he had no hostility and had fled here.

"What's wrong with this guy on your back?" The captain pointed to the black tower that Li Zhan was carrying on his shoulder and asked, "This person doesn't seem to be from Rome, he should be a slave from Rome, did you carry him all the way from Custer Town all the way here?" ”

"He is my friend Heta, who has now escaped from slavery, and we fled here after a failed attempt to resist the Persian army." Li Zhan gently put the black tower down, and then asked the captain, "Can you help my friend treat it first, he is likely to have lost too much blood." ”

"You two take him to the infirmary first." The captain said to the two soldiers beside him, telling them to take the Black Tower away for treatment.

And the two soldiers beside him responded with a simple answer: "Yes, Lord Junhou!" ”

"Marquis?!" Li Zhan felt a little inexplicable, in the Roman Empire and even those surrounding countries, there would be no such military rank as a military marquis, but this name sounded very familiar, like a term he had been exposed to before, "You are not the Roman army?" Where are you in the army? ”

It was hard for Li Zhan to imagine that the current province of Dacia had been intervened by two forces, one was the invasion of the Persian Empire, and the other was the country supported by this princely system.

"I don't think you look like a Roman, or rather, you are very similar to my physical signs, Zhao Lei, the commander of the Phisha Army, the commander of the Captain Changji under the account of the general of the Lower Western Regions, is Wei Heng." Zhao Lei looked at Li Zhan and said with a smile, "We are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Big Han?! The Western Regions are protected, Ban Chao?! Some chaotic memories appeared in his mind, and the most famous Western Regions protector in his impression was the most prosperous period under the construction of Ban Chao, and the most famous was that Ban Chao made the Western Regions and brought a full 70,000 horses to the entire Western Regions.

And this has always been a historical mystery, when Ban Chao made the Western Regions, the entire Western Regions was already in a relatively stable state, and at that time, Ban Chao took 70,000 Han elites to visit the countries of the Western Regions, which was definitely a big move at that time.

"General Ban brought us to the Western Regions this time, mainly to see the customs and customs of various countries, and of course, he also wanted to trade with other countries and conduct friendly diplomatic relations." Zhao Lei said with a natural smile, of course he already understood the purpose of leading the team out this time, it was definitely not a matter of going through the motions and looking at the customs.

What they are doing now is to unify the Western Regions, and for other countries, these 70,000 people are like locusts, impacting their weak source of life.

"I think I'm also Han Chinese, but I don't know why I'm in Rome, I just remember that when I woke up, I was taken to a gladiatorial arena, and I happened to survive there."

"Oh, the Colosseum?" As soon as Zhao Lei heard Li Zhan mention the gladiatorial arena, he immediately came to his senses, "Before we came, we also heard that gladiatorial battles were prevalent in Rome and Persia, which were generally battles between people, and there were also many battles between humans and beasts. I'd love to know how you survived the Colosseum. Also, I saw that you didn't see you panting all the way with that big black man, it seems that your physical fitness should be very good. ”

"Since you are also Han, then let's have a good chat, maybe Captain Changji is interested in meeting you."

"Let's go, let's go to Captain Changji, I think he will have a good chat with you."

Zhao Lei smiled, showed his intention to Li, and asked him to follow him, so he turned around and left.
