Chapter 152: First Sight of Commodus

Before leaving, Zhang Heng also got the information provided by Makruz, and the opponent who needed to pay attention to it was this guy named Satonilos.

The latter was a gladiator of the same era as Sisnatus, but when he began to emerge, it happened to be the peak of Sisnatus, so his name was completely covered by Sisnatus, and Satonilos himself was naturally very unconvinced, so he challenged Sisnatus.

However, the two belonged to different gladiator schools, and they usually did not face each other, and if Satonilos wanted to challenge Sisnatus, he would need the consent of both gladiator schools.

However, at that time, Sisnatus was already going downhill, and Makruz didn't want to let the reputation that Sisnatus had accumulated so hard to make a wedding dress for the gladiators of other gladiator schools, and on the other side, the gladiator school where Satorinilos was located also had doubts about whether Satorinalos could defeat Sisnatus, after all, there were rumors that Sisnatus was ready to retire, so he waited for the other party to leave, and then let Satoronilos take the position directly The safest way.

On the contrary, the two fought against each other, and it was naturally a good thing for Satonilos to win, and his reputation soared, which also meant the handover of the scepter of the first gladiator, but what about losing? Sisnates was ready to retire anyway, but Satonilos was in the prime of life, and the gladiator school behind him pointed out that he would make a lot of money in the next few years.

Considering that the risks and benefits are not proportional, the matter is ultimately closed.

But it is undeniable that Satonilos is indeed the closest gladiator to the latter in the era of Sisnatus, and after Sisnatus left, some people think that he is the first gladiator in Rome, but recently there are some rumors that Satonilos suddenly began to indulge in alcohol for some reason, and now he has not participated in the performance for a month.

And the real person who saw him today seems to confirm this rumor.

However, the previous results were there, and the gladiators in Rome were still very jealous of him, that is, those hillbillies outside the city did not know the depths, and dared to provoke Satonilos so boldly.

The ending of that unlucky ghost is naturally happy, not only is his face ruined, but it seems that he will not be able to participate in the gladiatorial performances in the future, but this kind of thing naturally has the gladiator school behind him to worry about.

As soon as Satonilos turned around and sat back on the steps, a slave went over and carried out the door with only the air in the ground, and then everyone looked at Satonilos with more awe in their eyes.

Because of this little episode, the originally noisy antechamber became a little quieter, and the gladiators became a lot more cautious, after all, the gladiatorial show was about to start, and no one wanted to be eliminated early because of a little skirmish at this time.

And after a short time, a servant came out of the back room and went directly to the place where the masters of the gladiator schools were, and Makrus and the others, when they heard what he had said, finally lifted their spirits, and immediately gathered their gladiators to stand in the antechamber.

They had been waiting for quite some time tonight, and they had already been a little impatient, after all, they were all earth emperors in their respective gladiator schools, and usually only others waited for them, where did they stand in the courtyard and drink the cold wind, but the next moment they saw a group of men and women coming out of the restaurant, and everyone still tried to squeeze out a smile.

As Makrus said, the people who will appear here tonight represent the most powerful class in the whole of Rome, and picking any one of them out and stomping their feet will cause an uproar in the political arena, which is something that Makruz and the masters of gladiator schools dare not offend.

And at the center of this power are a young man and a middle-aged man.

Among them, the middle-aged man is the host of this dinner - Dio, in the Senate composed of more than 600 people, he is directly in control of 50 seats, and there are more than 100 seats that are only his leader, in other words, in the Senate any proposal to be implemented must be approved by him, and the proposal that he opposes is often not successful.

And it is in such a hot real power figure that is now respectful to a young man.

Without the introduction of others, Zhang Heng also knew who the young people around him were.

Except for His Majesty the Emperor of the ancient Roman Empire, no one deserves Dior's low profile, and although everyone else is also from extraordinary backgrounds, they can only surround the two of them like stars and moons.

"Your Majesty, this is the warrior I found to participate in tomorrow's gladiatorial performance." Dio Dao.

The nobles descended the steps, looking at the gladiators in the antechamber with the same curiosity as if they were picking up goods in a store, and from time to time someone patted this one on the shoulder and pinched the other's chest.

"They all look strong and there should be a good show tomorrow." A strange color flashed in the young emperor's eyes, especially when he saw the strong man like a giant, he stretched out his hand to touch the other party's skin, but this action was only half done, he seemed to remember something, so he retracted his hand again, coughed twice, and changed to a serious expression, "You have done a good job, Patriarch Dior, the people will thank you." ”

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty, what I have done is nothing compared to your great deeds, you have solved the troubles caused by those border barbarians for the Empire, and brought the long-lost peace back to Rome, which was not completed during your father's reign, it is my honor and the Senate to share some trivial matters for you, please rest assured, we have done these things with ease, and there will be nothing wrong with the performance afterwards, The inhabitants of the entire city of Rome will be grateful to you for being able to enjoy this high-level gladiatorial performance. ”

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better." The young emperor paused and said, "I know that I am still far from my father, but I am only trying to follow his teachings and follow his example, my father always said that being with wise men also increases wisdom, and I think that you and all the people in the Senate are wise men in his mouth." ”

"You're really flattering to me." Dior bowed slightly, but then he seemed to be a little reluctant to speak.

"What's wrong?" The young emperor asked.

"I hope you don't get me wrong, Your Majesty, your father is undoubtedly a great emperor, and losing him is a loss to all of Rome, but, fortunately, we still have you now, and since you call me a wise man, then perhaps I can give you a small suggestion as well."

"I'm listening."

"I've heard that some people in the military don't seem to be very supportive of your decision to armistice with those Germanic tribes, and feel that it goes against your father's will, but I want you to know that the Senate is always on your side, and you made the right choice, like I said, your father is great, but maybe it's time for us to look forward, you are the emperor of Rome, sometimes you don't have to keep thinking about what your father would do, or what he expects you to do, you did a good job of the armistice, people support you, So you can also let go of other things appropriately. Dior said.
