8. Roman Baths

The golden crow falls in the west, and the moon rabbit rises in the east.

Here laughter, steaming heat swirls in it, like a fairyland on earth, the high-ranking Roman officials and low-level Roman citizens are all abandoning the gap of identity and harmony in this bath at this moment.

If you want to talk about the famous buildings in Rome, in addition to the Colosseum and the Pantheon, the Roman baths are also an existence that cannot be ignored.

Tonight, however, the great Baths of Agrippa welcomed a guest who was bringing the present city of Rome into turmoil.

After temporarily escaping from the pursuit, Qi Wuce changed his route and crossed half of the city until dusk, which changed his appearance and changed his appearance.

As the political center of the entire Roman Empire, the city of Rome's defense is naturally not weak, even if Qi Wuce has the ability to disguise, it can't withstand those Roman soldiers who take the population registration form and search from house to house.

The carpet search of the Roman soldiers undoubtedly greatly increased the probability of Qi Wuce's exposure, and the dwellings obviously could not be hidden for a long time, and the situation in other places was unknown, and Qi Wuce did not dare to go if he was injured, so it was the safest to come to this Roman bath to hide.

The Romans were accustomed to enjoyment, and bathing was the most common way for the Romans to enjoy, unlike the Chinese side used to talk about business at the wine table, most Romans would choose to have business conversations while enjoying the relaxation of the body.

Therefore, although the high-level people in Rome have large bathtubs built at home, the public baths in Rome are the places where these people have to frequent.

As a gathering place for various dignitaries and dignitaries in Rome, the intricacies of the various things involved in the Roman baths are unimaginable.

As for Qi Wuce's current situation, the more complicated the environment, the better, as long as the Roman baths are open, even the Roman emperor would not dare to act rashly against this place.

This was the best hiding place for Qi Wuce, and although the Roman baths had limited opening hours, Qi Wuce had no intention of staying here forever.

Qi Wuce's purpose in coming to the Roman baths was twofold. First, during the time when the baths were open to the Roman soldiers and did not dare to search them, they postponed or even recovered from their wounds. Second, take advantage of the location of the Roman baths to go directly out of the city.

The city of Rome seems to be heavily defended, but there is a flaw, and that is the Roman baths.

The Roman Baths, as we all know, consisted of many small baths and several large ones, but the one to which Qi Wuru came was the Baths of Agrippa, a huge bath large enough for thousands of people to bathe together.

And what is the most important facility of a bath?

Great Health Care ...... Bah! It is the water supply and drainage system.

(There is no difference between the Roman public baths in Nero's time and the great health care, you will know it when you look at Baidu)

As a large bath for thousands of people, the water in the baths of Agrippa could not have been transported manually, in fact, most of the water sources of the Roman baths came from the Tiber River, which ran through the city of Rome.

Since there is a water supply system, there is also drainage, and the water supply system draws water from the upper reaches of the Tiber River, heats the water through the underground facilities of the baths, and then discharges cold water and bath water into the lower reaches of the Tiber River through the drainage system.

The Agrippa Baths can bathe thousands of Roman citizens, and the water supply and drainage capacity of its water supply and drainage system must be not small, and Qi Wuce wants to escape from the heavily guarded Roman city unharmed under the search of thousands of Roman soldiers, relying on the drainage system of the Agrippa Baths.

The main building of the Roman baths is a perfectly symmetrical rectangle, with hot water, warm water and cold water halls in the longitudinal axis; There are entrances, changing rooms, massage rooms, olive oil and soap rooms, and sweat (sauna) rooms on both sides. Each hall is arranged in a certain order of fitness and bathing; The boiler room, storage room, and slave room were underground.

Qi Wuce had injuries on his body, in order not to be found abnormal, he only went into the locker room, took a towel and draped it over his shoulders to cover the wound, and then used a trick to bypass a series of troublesome places such as the massage room, olive oil, soap room, and sauna room, and directly entered the steamy warm water hall.

When he came to the warm water hall, in order to prevent the injuries on his body from being exposed in this crowded place and causing trouble due to variables, Qi Wuru had to go into the water to cover everything with the color of the pool water and steam.

Stretched out his legs to probe the temperature of the water, and after feeling that the water temperature was right, Qi Wuce was about to go into the water, but at this moment, the blindfolded water vapor dissipated, and the scene that appeared in front of him made Qi Wuce accept the idea of going into the water.

In the huge bath, men and women face each other with sincerity without concealment. What's more, he disregarded human ethics and morality and went directly to the public place of this bath.

Qi Wuce took a cursory look, although the bathhouse was far from full at this time, there were nearly 1,000 Roman citizens bathing here, and among these nearly 1,000 people, there were dozens of pairs of men and women who made meager contributions to the reproduction of the human race in public.

And the group of people Qi Wuce saw were still doing things, as for the many people who were taking a bath with a leisurely and peaceful face, judging from the women in their arms, they were probably not doing things but had already finished their work.

The water is a little muddy......

It seems that the problem of the style of ancient Rome recorded in the history books is not a fake. Qi Wuce sighed in his heart at the openness and even debauchery of Rome, and his complexion changed again and again, like that chameleon.

After a while, Qi Wuce turned around and left the warm water hall, he still couldn't afford to make up his mind to go into the troubled water.

Which is more terrifying, a bath where someone has peed or a bath that has been mixed with various liquids? This is a question that does not need to be answered, and the baths that have urinated are bearable, but the baths of the Roman baths are helpless...... Courteously stand.

When you come to the cold water hall, most of the people here are people who have just soaked in hot water from the hot water hall and want to strengthen their body by soaking in cold water.

Compared to the warm water hall, which is a happy place to let go of yourself, the cold water hall is obviously much quieter, and the water here is quite pure.

After finding a corner and getting into the water, he took out the Chaos Claw he had made last night, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

The Claw of Chaos, as the essence of the Chimera, contains enough magic power, although this magic power is helpless, and the overall injury recovery can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, but it is still more than enough to recover from the arrow wounds suffered before.

While chewing his paws to absorb the magic in them, Qi Wufu searched the four walls of the bath for drainage holes.

The structure of the bath couldn't be simpler, and after Qi Wuce dived into the water, he only found the draining Confucius at a glance, and there were seven or eight drainage holes the size of a fist.

Obviously, it is impossible for that fist-sized drainage hole to pass through it with a normal human figure, even if Qi Wuce can shrink his bones, it is impossible to pass through it, after all, Qi Wuce's body is still half a human, far inferior to the pillar man who can even drill into a fist-sized exhaust hole.

Qi Wuce was analyzing the way out of the bath in front of Xiao Transparent, so he didn't notice that a young man was approaching him.
