"Is it okay for me to invite a friend along?" Lucy Road.

"I see what you mean, I've invited the Cologne family, and tomorrow after watching the gladiatorial fight, they will come to the house as guests, and as the hostess, you need to be prepared."

Gladiator!

Brave and brutal, bloody and savage, although their life and death are only for the pleasure of the public, they are instilled to fight to the death for the glory of the god of war, this psychological deformity is difficult for Ma Su to understand.

However, after learning that he and Nile were allowed to follow, Ma Su was also a little eager to try. Although he couldn't understand it, Ma Su also wanted to experience the crazy scene for himself.

The next day, the group set out for the town of Marcelia, which was formerly known as Marseille, and Loew's farm was not far from the town. It is said that the gladiatorial fight was held in celebration of the Roman Dionysian Festival, and although the Roman government had long banned this Dionysian festival seven or eight times a month, it was secretly held in areas far from Rome, but it was held several times a year.

Entering the town, the scene inside can be described as a busy scene. Crowded pedestrians, merchants pulling pedestrians on the side of the road for sales, narrow streets. Although the road surface is paved with gravel, the smell of noise coming from the alleys from time to time makes Ma Su feel what it means to be backward.

After meeting up with the Cologne family, the group headed for the Colosseum. From afar, Masu saw the unique oval building, which was half the size of a football field, although not as grand as the Colosseum in Rome.

Follow the hosts to a high platform, which is supposed to be a VIP seat. The Romans inside were well-dressed, and the noblewomen wore gold and silver, jewels, and a bit of an upstart feeling. The men sat together and chatted casually, while the women talked with fans in twos and threes. Not far from the side is the main stand, and a few seats are vacant, which should be reserved for the magnates.

The gladiatorial arena below is about the size of a basketball court, with gravel floors and bloodstained walls and entrances. The ordinary viewing platform of the venue is about six floors long, wooden structure, and it is bustling with people at this time.

"Huh! Isn't this Loew's wife, Miss Lucy? A woman in a flaming red dress walked with a fan swinging and a false smile on her face, "Shouldn't you be hiding at home?" ”

Seeing the woman in front of her, Lucy, who was chatting with Cologne's wife, looked disgusted, but out of etiquette, she smiled and nodded. Ma Su also knew this woman, who had a hot fight with Loew before, but was later robbed of love by Lucy.

Seeing that Lucy didn't pay attention to herself, the woman was a little embarrassed, and said softly meaningfully: "Be optimistic about your husband, there is no man who doesn't steal." ”

Without waiting for Lucy to answer, the woman turned away, and Lucy was in a thoughtful daze and ignored it.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the audience, and I saw three middle-aged men walking into the main stand, and it seemed that the magnates were coming. One of the white-robed men walked up to the stage and raised his hand to the crowd to signal quiet.

"Sons of Massella, be quiet! Today we gather here to celebrate the great Dionysian feast, may the gods bless us! Thank you to the generous Lodge and Bucky for bringing us brave gladiators," the white-robed man gestured behind him, and two men from behind the rostrum saluted him, then raised his hand to the audience.

Finally, the white-robed man said loudly: "Now, let our gladiators appear and have a good time!" ”

"Coax!"

At the sound of the gladiator's owner's introduction, the rusty iron door opened, and two gladiators walked out with weapons in hand. One of them was armed with a sword and shield, while the other was armed with a spear and a hand shield, with a hideous helmet on his head and leather armor on some important parts of his body.

At the beginning of the gladiatorial fight, the two fought back and forth, cutting wounds on each other's bodies from time to time. Every time blood splattered, it brought exclamations from the audience, igniting their bloodthirsty passions, and Ma Su even saw some men and women copulating together as if no one was around.

The gladiators were indeed very ferocious, and their strong bodies burst out with amazing strength, and the strength alone was about five hundred catties. Skillful killing skills and strong ability to resist attacks all brought visual shock to Ma Su.

The gladiators brought three life-and-death duels, the loser went to hell, and the winner received cheers, it was as simple and crude as that. Ma Su was dismissive of their god of war glory, and there was no value in losing his life for these illusory beliefs, far less valuable than dying on the battlefield.

Ma Su suddenly felt that he was beginning to hate this era, that there was no civilization in this damn slave society. What he had learned in textbooks and materials was so untrue, and once upon a time, he was so fascinated by this Rome, and often marveled at the exploits of the Romans, who in his heart were the saviors of Europe.

But now he didn't think so, and perhaps, to a certain extent, Rome did bring civilization to the barbaric lands. But all of this is only out of their own selfish desires. High taxes drove people into bankruptcy, leaving them homeless and sold into slavery. But they plundered a lot of wealth for their families, squandered it, indulged in pleasures, and lived a life of luxury.

Hate is hate, and Ma Su also knows that he is still just a slave who cannot control his own destiny. However, an unprecedented, crazy idea is secretly breeding. And he seemed to see light in the darkness, an ideal, a belief: maybe I should do something to change this era.

Since his rebirth, Ma Su has always believed that he will protect his tribe and his family, so that the people of the tribe can live a life without food and clothing. There is no clear goal for external dangers, although they are clear. But when he became a slave, he realized that his ideas were too naïve.

Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, a man named Caesar will lead his legions, wielding a sharp sword to conquer all of Gaul.

What will I do then?

Take refuge in Rome and accept the exploitation! Can you stand it? If not, wouldn't it be too late to revolt?

Ma Su thought a lot, a lot

A few days later, an unpleasant incident occurs between Lucy and Loew.

On this day, Lucy took Marsu and them to visit Cologne's wife, which had been arranged at the last dinner. However, after the luncheon, Lucy felt unwell and a little nauseous, so she politely refused to be offered by the Lord's house, and hurried home at dusk. In this way, the scene of catching the rape in bed was staged, and Loew and Lucy's rival ** got together.

Lucy obviously couldn't accept this kind of stimulation, and although Loew lost everything, she still took Marsu and them back to her parents' house in a fit of rage. After Lucy's mother learned what had happened, she comforted her daughter, but Lucy was still depressed and unwilling to go back.
