Chapter 153: Provocation
"What does it mean to let go a little bit?" The young emperor was a little puzzled.
Dio smiled, "You like gladiatorial fights, don't you?" ”
The young emperor subconsciously denied, "No, I just occasionally look and relax, I'm too busy, I have a lot of things to do every day, in fact, before I leave, I was still thinking about issuing new coins, I mean that the people of Rome may be able to get to know me through the gladiatorial performances later, but in more remote places, I need to let them know that the empire has changed to a new emperor, I plan to have someone mint a coin with my head printed on it, and the emperors of all generations have done this......"
"Yes, yes, I can understand that you must be exhausted when such a vast country needs you to rule, but that's why we should have fun in our rare leisure time, right?" Dio beckoned, and asked the servant to bring two more glasses of wine, one for himself, and the other to the young emperor.
"You need to relax, we're not going to talk about politics tonight."
The young emperor hesitated but took the glass of wine and drank it down, "Okay, then let's take a good look at what warriors are here." ”
The masters of the gladiator schools had been waiting for a long time, and after receiving permission, they all stepped forward to salute the patriarch of Dio and the emperor of the empire, and then began to introduce their gladiators.
"Your Majesty, this is the giant Therephilos, he is a Sarmatian, he was sold to the northeastern part of the empire when he was a teenager, I found him in a very remote copper mine, and paid for him, then he was so hungry that he was only left with skin and bones, but I knew that he was a natural gladiator, and once he was fed and his iron pickaxe was exchanged for a weapon, he would become the best warrior, and then he did not disappoint me, I took him on a tour of various places, and no one could beat him, There is an infinite amount of power in his body, like a wild beast. ”
A long, dry, corpse-like old man said this, and he nodded to Tetraphilos, who came out of the crowd.
I have to admit that his tower-like figure is really oppressive, and seeing him move, Commodus's guards immediately became nervous and drew their weapons one after another.
"It doesn't matter," said the young emperor, "let's see what he has to do." ”
Tryphilos did not speak, but walked straight to the fountain in the center of the antechamber, rubbed his hands, then bent down and picked up the life-size marble statue in front of the fountain with only one hand.
Seeing this scene, the guests who came to the banquet tonight all let out a cry of amazement.
The old man like a dry corpse was proud, on the contrary, the faces of the owners of the other gladiator schools were solemn, they were all knowledgeable people, of course, they could see that this big tall man was not easy to deal with, there were many gladiators who participated in this competition, but they couldn't do what this Sarmatian could do, and he would become a strong contender for the championship of this gladiatorial performance with this overwhelming strange power alone.
Tryphilos danced the marble statue twice more before putting it back in place and back to where it had stood.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there are still people with such strength in this world." The young emperor also excitedly said, "Your nickname is called the giant, isn't it?" ”
Tryphilos nodded.
"It's a good fit for you, and I wish you a good result in the gladiatorial performances in the future." The young emperor seemed to be ignited with a long-suppressed interest and followed Dio on his way to the next target.
"Alaxois, from Diatila, has a proud record of nineteen consecutive victories, and is good at making the trident ......"
"Danaos, Thracian gladiator, is known to be a great gladiator among the Thracians, and Danaeus is the best at it, he is the best at slitting the throats of his opponents......"
"Julia, Celtic, his body is amazingly flexible, and he is unbeatable in close melee......"
“…………”
As Dio and the young emperor continued to walk, they saw more and more gladiators, any of whom had many legends and were the trump cards of the arena where they were located, but now that everyone was together, there was not much time left for everyone to be introduced.
With the exception of the Sarmatian, who had a vision from before, most gladiators could not remember their names, and only moved on to the next target with just two encouragements.
Zhang Heng knew that if he continued like this, he might not be able to complete the task assigned to him by the Blade of Balance, because although he became famous during this time, coupled with the packaging of Makrus, many people in Rome have heard his name, but after all, he is just a newcomer, and the record he can get is not as many as those old gladiators who have been famous for many years, strictly speaking, he is only a topic now, not a legend, and the biggest disadvantage for him is that Commodus came back from the front line, and happened to miss the time when he became famous. In addition, the latter had a lot of things on hand during this time, and it was most normal that he had not heard his name.
Zhang Heng knew that he had to find a way to attract Commodity's attention.
At this moment, the young emperor suddenly stopped in front of a gladiator, pointed at the latter and said in surprise, "Are you Satonilos?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to know my name." Satonilos bowed.
"Of course, I went to see your gladiatorial show with my sister before I left the horse, and more than once, they said that Sisnatus is old, and you are the strongest gladiator in the city of Rome, how about it, are you confident this time?"
"I will give you both victory and glory." Satonilos Road.
Just when the two sides were in harmony, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, "I don't think Your Majesty will like someone like you who can only talk big." ”
Satonilos's face changed suddenly, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was actually an Oriental who said this, Satonilos had no impression of this Oriental man, when the gladiators were gathered in the front hall to wait, the latter did not make any noticeable moves, Satonilos didn't know why the other party was now taking the initiative to provoke.
However, he was never a person to be provoked and endured, and said respectfully to Commodus, "Your Majesty, can I take care of my own affairs?" ”
The young emperor guessed something, if he had been placed in the past, he would most likely refuse Satonilos's request, because if his father was here, he would definitely refuse, but at this time he remembered Dio's previous words, since he was here to have fun tonight, there was no need to be so serious, so he smiled and said, "Of course." ”
