Chapter 54: The Roman Baths
Cúchulainn really didn't lie.
If you give this thing to a person in the magic world, I'm afraid that if someone else goes bankrupt, they will have to exchange it with Cúchulainn.
The orthodox term in the magic world is [Barbarian God's Heart].
It is also the abbreviation of [The Heart of the Savage Subgod].
It's really an abbreviation for the elementary school grade that makes people laugh and cry.
In short, it is a special heart that only sub-god level monsters, monsters and the like can have, and like the heart of a dragon, it can produce magic power just by breathing. Moreover, from the point of view that even if the main body dies, the heart can still beat correctly and agitate the magic, the heart of the barbarian god is a treasure stronger than the heart of the dragon.
Of course, the magic of the heart of the barbarian god contains the curse of the sub-god, so if one is not careful, the user himself will be cursed, which is much more troublesome to use than the dragon's heart.
This thing is like a pufferfish. Delicious, but highly toxic. If a clever chef handles it well, it is the best seafood in the world, and if it is not handled well, it is the best poison in the world.
Occasionally, this kind of heart will be found in this kind of demon.
I wonder if it was the comfortable life in the Roman Colosseum that relieved this demon? Or is it really because it's not very good in the first place? Wiped out by two servants.
In various games, after killing a monster, it is a matter of course to obtain the materials on the monster.
So Cú Chulainn watched neither of them clean up this treasure, as a magician, it was a pity.
In fact, I had this feeling when I was a Chimera before, and the Chimera's hook claws are also quite rare magic materials, but these two people didn't care at all, and let the Romans clean up the Chimera corpse on the ground.
Mordred looked at what he was holding, a look of suspicion on her face.
It can be seen that she has never heard of the saying of eating hearts.
Even if he is a rebellious knight, he is still a knight, and he will not do barbaric acts such as eating the other party's heart alive.
The thing Cú Chulainn was holding in his hand, a beating purple heart, no matter how she looked at it, it wouldn't taste good, and she was thankful for it.
"Yagi, really? It's a rare mana supply. Don't eat it? ”
"Don't eat. Allow me to give this thing to the Chaldeans—I'm a Chaldean and can't mess with this stuff. ”
Yagi Yukisai moved directly out of the Chaldea as a shield.
Cu Chulainn shrugged with an indifferent expression, and said in his heart: Illiterate boy, there will be a time for you to cry in the future.
The hardest thing about the heart of the barbarian god is not to find it.
To be honest, it's not uncommon for monsters with such hearts to have such a heart, but it's not easy to peel it off so completely.
First of all, the slash should avoid the heart, and it must not be destroyed.
Secondly, of course, you can't kill too much ink, otherwise, the demon uses too much magic power, and after death, the heart is full of curses, and it can't be used as magic materials at all - spellcasters and necromancers like this kind of thing, but unfortunately, ordinary servants can't use it.
In the end, of course, I have to make sure that I don't fight for this heart. There are many cases in history where magicians teamed up to hunt demons, but in the end they killed each other while sharing the spoils.
Boudicca also came over and advised: "If people don't want to, don't force them." ”
"Well, that's right~"
Cu Chulalyn laughed and helped Yagi wrap his heart in cloth and stuff it into his arms.
"How's it going, do you want to continue today?"
Mordred paused for a moment.
With her character, she will definitely continue to fight on weekdays until night. Today is a bit special, though.
Well......
Because of the semi-coagulated blood on his body, there is a viscous and clammy feeling, and no matter how he thinks about it, he feels uncomfortable.
"Let's go take a shower. I can't stand this thing. ”
Mordred, who was splattered in blood, couldn't bear the sticking of this thing, and Cúchulainn looked at her sympathetically and did not object.
When it comes to Rome, the two most famous things are the Colosseum and the Roman Baths.
Ancient Rome was a country that loved bathing.
Because most of the baths in ancient Rome were built by aristocrats and politicians, mainly as a means of publicizing their financial resources and hoping to gain popular support. Therefore, you can be as luxurious as you can, and as extravagant as you can, you can be extravagant. Ticket prices can be as cheap as they can, and many baths are even free to enter, so you have to give money to customers.
It can be said that for most Romans, bread, wine, baths, gladiatorial arenas, were all they had in life.
In the late period of Emperor Nero's reign, it can be said that he was extremely poor and luxurious, and the baths were naturally the most luxurious.
Of course, as the guests of the Roman Empire and Emperor Nero, they naturally have the right to go to His Majesty Nero's [Royal Baths]. It's better to say that Mordred didn't care about it and ran to the royal baths with Yagi Yukisai.
From her brisk pace and familiar steps, you can know that she has been hanging out here a lot in the past month.
It was an exaggerated, huge golden bath with no edge in sight, barely recognizable as a rectangular façade, and Roman women dressed in tulle waited in two separate lines.
Although the royal baths were the least crowded, they had the most service staff.
As soon as everyone came in, a maid came over and led everyone to the dressing room.
Originally, Yagi Yukisai thought that this kind of bathhouse in the first century A.D. would be much worse and more humble than the bathhouse in the twenty-first century A.D., but now look at it, it's not like that at all!
The first is the degree of luxury, and the baths of ancient emperors are of course different from those built by modern people who have to consider population density.
The baths built by Emperor Nero have a rich man's feeling everywhere, with golden splendor, carved beams and paintings, and even the pillars are carved into various auspicious animal images.
The entire bath is divided into cold baths, warm baths, hot baths, and the Majesty's exclusive baths. Ancillary facilities include changing rooms, massage rooms, oiled rooms, and even a sweat room similar to a modern sauna...... The vaulted ceiling is beautifully glazed, the sunlight softly casts, and the walls are filled with ordinary candlesticks and special magic lamps, and the combination of three types of light, combined with the rich scent of roses in the air and the hot, damp feeling of the water, gives it a luxurious taste.
In the middle of the hall, there is also a one-to-one jade statue of Emperor Nero, and there is no interface in the whole, which should be carved from a whole piece of jade. In this brilliance, the clear color of the jade is also dyed with slight water droplets, giving people a beautiful feeling of bathing beauty.
Secondly, it is the advanced degree of architecture.
The intricate fabrication of pipes in the walls and underground, and the constant flow of hot, warm, or cold water spit out of the spouts decorated with lion's heads, is a way to do this, but in terms of expression, this is an advanced device that is no different from the future!
It's like a Japanese bathhouse...... Of course, you won't find such a large and luxurious bathhouse in Japan.
In the locker room, Yukisai Yagi thought so while undressing. Cú Chulainn smiled slightly, and said with a joking expression: "Yagi-kun is so blessed~"
"Huh?"
Yagi Yukisai didn't understand, and responded in a daze.
"Hmph...... You'll get it right away. Hum hum ......"
Cú Chulainn sold the pass, but he didn't untie it, and he looked forward to the unfolding after the two went in.
