Gabby explained some gladiator precautions after Makruz left, and then left in a hurry to discuss the opening match with Makruz.

Bach performed well in the final assessment, allowing Gabi to pass the test successfully, and was even praised by Makrus, but Gabi was not too happy, but frowned slightly.

He has been in charge of Bach's training, so he knows Bach's true level, he always feels that it is not a good thing to push Bach to the front now, in Gabi's original plan, Bach will have to undergo at least half a year of special training to barely become the face of the Victor Arena, it is not a good thing to push him out too early, but Makruz obviously does not have such good patience, especially when he saw Bach's excellent performance today, it is estimated that all he is thinking about is how to build the latter into a new cash cow as soon as possible.

Gabby didn't know how to convince Makruz.

…………

The people in charge were all gone, and only a group of gladiators who had just passed the training were left on the training ground, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Although he still couldn't get rid of his slave status after becoming a regular worker, the treatment was not much better than before.

First of all, the cruel training that was terrible before is gone, although the official gladiators themselves have to keep training to improve their fighting skills, but the intensity will not be as terrifying as before, otherwise considering the maintenance and rehabilitation methods of this era, gladiators will be abolished by the school first after not being able to play a few games.

In addition, the accommodation conditions of the people are much better now, before there were more than a dozen people crammed into a room, and the formal gladiators were all four people in a room, and the snoring at night was much quieter, in addition to free massages and baths, among which the free man gladiators could leave the school at any time.

They can even stop participating in school training, as long as they make sure they can play on time, such as Griff, according to him, his wife just gave birth to a son for him, he didn't even drink much, so he left the school and hurried home to pick up the child, in fact, except for the prodigal who didn't have a family like Harbitus, many free man gladiators trained at school and went home to sleep at night.

The slaves are not treated so well, but it is said that after performing in the Victor Arena for more than a year, as long as you ask Gabi for instructions, you can go out from time to time to breathe after getting permission.

Gabi also promised them that if they could achieve a certain number of victories, they would regain their status as freedmen, and of course, the freed slaves would still have a slightly lower social status than normal Roman citizens, but would be higher than foreigners in Rome.

This is undoubtedly the most heartwarming, although compared to other slave gladiators are more dignified, and there are many young ladies to worship, but no one wants to be a slave all the time, to be decided by others to live and die, and to be sold like goods.

Zhang Heng and Varro returned to their new residence without drinking too much, and when they opened the door, they immediately saw what the gift Markruz was talking about.

I saw that the four female slaves were sitting quietly in the room, there was nothing on their bodies, but there was no shame on their young faces, but they puffed up their chests generously, as if they were sending a silent invitation to the two.

However, Zhang Heng and Varro did not react much when they saw this.

After so many rounds of dungeons, it is difficult to attract Zhang Heng from pure physical stimulation, it is not that he refuses this kind of thing, but it is difficult to get much happiness from sleeping with a person who has no feelings for him.

And Varro himself is a married person, and there used to be many slaves in the family, so he is no stranger to this kind of thing, but his current mind is not on this, so he turned to Zhang Heng and said, "I plan to go to the school bathroom to take a bath, for so many days, we haven't washed properly, I feel like I'm about to stink, what about you?" ”

"I'm with you." Zhang Heng nodded.

Ancient Rome, in addition to Caesar and gladiators, was probably best known for their unusual dedication to bathing.

Since the invention of the first hot bath equipment by the wealthy merchant Gaius in the early 1st century BC, bathing has become a part of the daily life of the Romans at an unimaginable rate, and no man, old or young, nobleman or slave can refuse the hot bath.

However, even among the wealthy domus, there were few separate baths, and the ancient Romans were more accustomed to bathing in public baths.

There are hundreds of large and small baths in the entire city of Rome, among which the largest and most famous Bath of Trajan can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time, and the entrance fee to these baths is basically very cheap, taking Trajan's Bath as an example, as long as 1 Guaderante (16 Guaderantes equal 1 Sesters) can enter the door, and for this money, you can't even drink half a bowl of thick vegetable soup outside, according to Varro, Trajan's Bath is like a small city inside, and people who enter it for the first time may even get lost in it.

However, Zhang Heng didn't have a chance to see it for the time being, and what he and Varro were going to now was the gladiator school's own bathhouse, which was specially built for gladiators and was not open to the public.

In the distance, you can see the smoke column at the top of the bath. Naturally, it is not as large as the baths outside, but there are a lot of things, such as the large pool directly opposite the door as soon as you enter, which provides cold water for swimming in, and the small pool that goes around the porch around it is a small courtyard, which is a gym-like place, in which two pairs of gladiators are wrestling, and the rest of the people are standing on the sidelines, in addition to a man slamming a flour bag, a bit like a later generation of boxers practicing with sandbags.

Zhang Heng and Varro didn't look too much, and went straight through this courtyard to the destination of their trip, and the three rooms behind the small courtyard symbolized a hot bath, a warm bath, and a cold bath.

Varro quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a belt around his waist on his body, which made him look a bit like Tarzan of the Apes, Varro put his clothes into the cabinet on the side, and then turned his head to Zhang Heng and said, "Come on, my Oriental friend, I bet you'll love the next feeling." ”

"You'd better not say such a deceptive statement to me while dressed like this." Zhang Heng also took off his clothes as he spoke.

The two of them walked into the hot water bathroom with the smallest left hand one after the other, and as soon as they pushed the door open, Zhang Heng felt a heat wave, in addition to the steaming white water vapor, and the stone pillars of the bathroom loomed in it.
