Chapter 3: The Forever Low Hybridar (Part II)
There were still a few hours left before Hebrida was confined to him, and he and several of his old friends, such as Arminius and Safano, were drinking heavily in the camp in front of him, and of course he was the only one who drank heavily, because he did not have any combat missions in the future.
When Highbrida said Lukulas's decision, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully, there were still two hundred drachmas.
"You have to remember, turn in that Manimy crown." Arminius did not forget to remind him.
Highburida's eyes were red from drinking, and she slurred her answer, indicating that he had heard. Then he rubbed his glass and asked, "What are you going to do about Fantu and Batitas?" ”
Safano was a little embarrassed to use the excuse of packing and went to the side to tie up the shield, iron pickaxe and other things, and Arminius also frowned and said nothing: Fantu is dead, Batitas is equivalent to a waste, and the army's pension is only eight hundred cesdes, which is a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the two of them owed a lot of stock debts during their lifetimes.
"You two, give me five hundred drachmas, and send them to their homes, and settle my accounts." With that, Heblida drank the inferior wine from the glass.
After a long time, Arminius whispered, "It is not your duty, dear Hebrida. ”
"Boom!" Highbrida stuck the short sword on the table, and the candle flame on the table shook violently, "Human affection and blood debts, black and white!" They saved my life in Liktun, and the Romans never owe favors—I have twenty slaves, and with these, it is enough for twenty thousand Sesdes, and you are afraid that I will not be able to pay it back? ”
"The winter camp has been canceled, Highbrida, and by the time you go back to Bithynia to deal with the slaves, I'm afraid you'll be half dead." Safano interjected, on the side.
Then Highbrida grabbed him by the collar like an angry leopard, and said, "You have to trust me, just give me the money!" With that, he let go of Safano, shook his head down, and slowly walked out holding on to the tent door, scolding Luculas and Utiris all the way.
When Li Bida took back the mule, he went to the back room of the tent to chop wood, and when he pushed the door in, on a pile of wood, Adiana sat in the darkness wrapped in a robe, staring at himself with bright black eyes, she was very beautiful and proud like her mother.
Li Bida was a little uncomfortable, Adiana's character was a character that rejected people thousands of miles away, and he didn't like to be watched by her, so he turned his back and prepared to start working.
"I looked down on you, I thought you were a dirty Roman, but I didn't expect you to be a thousand times dirtier than the Romans, a lowly reptile and a slave." In the dimness, Adiana's beautiful but vicious voice rang out, "If you knew that you used to suppress and attack, I was so noble, now you should kill yourself in shame!" ”
Li Bida, who was insulted, was a little angry and began to-for-tat: "It seems that the poison has not entered your blood and heart, but it has all stayed on your tongue." ”
Adiana's eyes widened in some shock, he didn't expect that this Asian-looking slave would dare to ridicule such a noble person as her, and even speak Greek, after a pause, she said quickly and a little sadly: "The people of the Black Sea say that Mithridates has been poisoned by his mother and brother since he was a child, and instead of being poisoned, he has become invulnerable—it seems that I have inherited my father's blood, and those poisons are not enough to take my life." ”
Then, in a commanding tone, she said, "If you, a slave, are willing to hand me over to the Roman commander, let me enjoy the treatment of a princess, and leave this place full of lowly people as soon as possible, I may consider promoting you to my servant slave." ”
"The Roman commander just came here, but perhaps before you even met him, he was insulted and killed for revealing his identity." Li Bida split a firewood and said slowly, "I'm willing to help you, but it's just out of morality." ”
Adiana snorted disdainfully.
"Please bear with me until the right time comes." At this moment, a person quickly flashed at the door, it was Demetrius, holding a medicine bag in his hand.
"That's the medicine bag, who is that slave being treated?" Adiana asked.
"Batitas." Li Bida blurted out, "That's it, that's the ......" He realized Adiana's reaction, and didn't continue, just gesturing in place of the following words.
I couldn't see any expression of Adiana, but I saw her white face slowly retreating, disappearing in a darker darkness, and stopped talking to Li Bida, only her eyes were still flashing, like two stars.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, it was the sound of the workshop being kicked open, and the exclamation of the slave in front of him, and the rough voice of Hebrida rang out: "All the pigs, get out of here for me, come to the master!" ”
Adiana quietly followed Li Bida and walked to the front room, where the door had been kicked off by Hebrida, and the little centurion, with the smell of wine, stood in the center of the doorway, like an angry leopard, looking for the poor "prey".
Several male and female slaves curled up on the ground timidly, and they knew Haibrida's temper better than Li Bida: once this thug encountered something unsmooth, he would not hesitate to vent on the slave Yuli.
At this moment, the hapless and unwitting Demetrius changed the medicine for Batitas in another camp, and just came in through the door—Hebrida grabbed him by the hair and slammed him against the remaining half of the door, and the Jew screamed and begged for mercy, but it aroused Hebrida's anger even more, and with the sound of all the words, the door panel was soon stained with blood, and the zuihou Jewish sissy was like a dying shrimp, bent and thin, and fell into the dust, making a low voice, not knowing whether to cry or moan.
Li Bida looked back at Adina, expecting that this girl from the Gui clan would be able to stop Haybrida's atrocities, but Adiana stood calmly and did not say a word.
"Officer, you drank too much, you should come back to your senses, you shouldn't treat us like this, even if we are slaves." In the end, Li Bida didn't know where he got the courage, and said such a sentence, and even felt that his body was shaking violently after speaking, and the other slaves threw terrifying eyes from all directions.
Hebrida looked at Li Bida drunkenly, dangling back and forth in place, obviously he was also "startled" by Li Bida's words, and then he laughed, slowly took off his armor and undershirt, one by one, Zuihou stood in place without a smile, his body and face were full of caterpillar-like scars, and his "short sword" complemented each other, extremely hideous.
Out of her nature, Adiana turned around in disgust, and her movements were particularly eye-catching, which really aroused Hebrida's "interest".
"You! Calabia, huh. Highbrida pointed to Adjana.
Adiona looked back, furrowing her dark eyebrows, "Arrogant, who gave you the qualifications to allow you to call me that?" ”
Li Bida secretly complained, but still tried his best to block his body between the two.
As if she didn't hear what Adiana meant, Hybrida ordered, "You, turn around, hold your hands against the wall, and lift your butt up. ”
