After these seven days, Zhang Heng also has a certain understanding of the basic training of gladiators, and generally speaking, no matter what training method is to strengthen strength, agility, and endurance, and also teach some basic movement steps.

Zhang Heng is not too satisfied with the current course content.

Of course, considering that he was in the second century AD, he didn't expect the training methods here to be very scientific, but in addition to being a free man, he did hope to use this time to learn something useful, after all, he was now in the Roman Empire, and gladiator performances were at their peak.

This most important pastime for the Roman people disappeared in later generations because it was too bloody and cruel, but it is undeniable that it did produce a number of heroes and legends at the time.

Of course, because Zhang Heng's current sword skills have reached lv4, coupled with the combat experience accumulated from more than a dozen dungeons, even if Spartacus is resurrected, there is a high probability that he is not his opponent, but this does not mean that his combat skills are so perfect that there is nothing to improve.

For example, the battle between Habitus and Bach that he saw before, although Habitus was inferior in strength, he played with Bach, who had brute force, through his dexterous steps, and the latter yelled in anger, Zhang Heng was quite interested in his dance-like way of moving.

Zhang Heng's own body is also agile, it is exercised in the wind and waves, but it is restraining Habitus, if he is on Habitus, Habitus estimates that he will not be able to hold up the three moves, but this is because the training time of the two sides is different, and the combat experience is also different, it is not a pure suppression of body style, and if you can get Habitus's exercise method, it may be a good supplement for Zhang Heng.

But soon Zhang Heng found that this matter did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.

After the division of occupations, everyone was also assigned to the corresponding trainer, but most of the time they still carried out basic training together, in addition to that, the trainer would also formulate targeted training according to the characteristics of each person, but whether it was in basic training or targeted training, Zhang Heng did not find the footsteps of Habitus.

He also consulted his trainer on this issue, and the trainer told Zhang Heng that according to the employment contract, the trainer needed to help the gladiator school train the gladiators and complete the prescribed training courses, but some trainers themselves also had some unique skills at the bottom of the box, and they would not be taught publicly.

If you want to learn these things, you have to use some other means, and the most common and easy way is to give gifts.

Preparatory gladiators like Zhang Heng who are slaves themselves are naturally useless, but formal gladiators, even if they still have the status of slaves, can get some rewards every time they win a game, usually gifts and bounties from the audience, in order to stimulate the gladiators to fight more heroically, the gladiator school will take out a part of it and distribute it to the gladiators.

Gladiators can use the money for pleasure, of course, it can also be used to improve themselves, inquire about the likes and dislikes of the target trainer, buy gifts to give to him, and close the relationship between the two parties, and some people simply sign a long-term cooperation agreement, and give a share of their prize to a trainer, so that the trainer will become his exclusive trainer, who will be responsible for formulating a training plan for him, watching his every battle, looking for shortcomings, and constantly improving his martial arts.

However, this kind of treatment is generally enjoyed by star gladiators.

After listening to this, Zhang Heng knew that he didn't need to think about the pace for the time being, because the food and lodging of the preparatory gladiators and the official gladiators were not together, and it was usually difficult for him to meet Habitus, and even if he did, Habitus would not easily reveal his ability to eat to him without sufficient interests.

Fortunately, Habitus couldn't run for a while, and Zhang Heng was not in a hurry. Now that he knows the direction, this matter can be discussed until he passes the assessment and becomes an official gladiator.

In contrast, it was Varro who looked a little more worried.

Since Gabi said the price of buying Varro, the latter has been like a thunderbolt, looking like he has lost his soul, and now, no matter how optimistic he is, he can't deceive himself anymore, and he has to accept Zhang Heng's previous analysis painfully.

- He has fallen to this point, not just because of bad luck and failed investment, but because someone is doing something to him, and the person who did it not only embezzled all his family property, but also did not intend to let him go.

After the training, Varro didn't even go to eat, he went straight back to his accommodation, lying straight on the bed, staring at the ceiling, as if he were a corpse waiting to be buried.

Zhang Heng finished dinner alone, and when he came back, he brought a piece of bread to Varro and threw it on his chest, "Eat something, you need to replenish your strength, otherwise you won't be able to cope with tomorrow's training." ”

Varro, however, remained motionless as if he had not heard him.

Zhang Heng frowned, "Even if it's not for yourself, at least think about your wife, haven't you been saying that she loves you very much and will wait for you to make a comeback?" Thinking about it from another angle, being a gladiator is not exactly a bad thing, when the audience likes you enough, even Makruz has to give you freedom. ”

Varro smiled miserably when he heard this, "Didn't you ask me before, who asked me to invest in the flax business in Egypt?" It's none other than my wife. ”

“………………”

"If you're not mistaken, it's my wife and my best friend who teamed up to cheat on me."

"Heh, this is quite unexpected, and I can only say that I am sorry."

"I'm the stupidest fool in the world, am I?" "I should have found out a long time ago, there were signs of this a year ago, the two of them were going back and forth a little too often, and there were many unusual little details, and the slave of the shop helper reminded me, and I whipped him for chewing his tongue, and I was really ...... It's stupid. ”

"This kind of thing, usually the other party will be the last person to find out." Zhang Heng comforted.

"Why...... Why did things turn out like this, I was obviously the one who loved her more, and I didn't have anything to be sorry for her since I got married, what she wanted, those jewels and silks, no matter how expensive they were, I bought them for her, and I was even willing to die for her. Varro said as he wept bitterly.
