Chapter 129: Free Lunch

"Habitus, he can't be the ace of the Victor Arena." The old Persian trainer shook his head and said, "I told Gabi that his potential has been developed to the limit, and now it is his limit. ”

"Is his potential at its peak, or are you unwilling to develop it any longer?" Zhang Heng asked.

The old Persian trainer smiled slyly and asked rhetorically, "Is there any difference between the two?" ”

"Oh, I knew it."

"It's not our fault," the old trainer said, "but this time it was really my miscalculation, we had made an appointment with him to take what we needed, but then he suddenly reversed himself. ”

"You want me to believe that Habitus broke the contract between himself and an ancient Assassin Order, what, does he think he has a long life?"

"Although we are an Assassin Order, we act in a more principled way than the vast majority of the world's self-proclaimed nobles, do not kill innocents indiscriminately, and there is no strictly speaking contract between us and Habitus." The old trainer said helplessly.

"I see, you threw the bait and convinced him that you could really help him improve his fighting skills, and then he ate the bait and learned that trick from you, but he didn't intend to take the bait, which is a clever thing to do...... Then the question is, why do you believe that I will take the bait when you choose me to be a replacement for Habitus? And what bait for me? ”

Because the hot air bathroom has been steaming, Zhang Heng's body is now covered with sweat, and the old Persian trainer opposite is in the same situation, the latter said.

"There is no bait this time, and I have no intention of using you as a replacement for Habitus, because Habitus was not the most suitable person for us from the beginning, but we couldn't find another suitable person to choose him."

"What do you mean, are you going to empty the gloves of the white wolf?"

"No, I want to invite you to join us, not as a peripheral member of a partnership like Habitus, I mean to be a real core member, or more accurately, we want to add you to the list of new core members and become my successor, because like I said before, we are a very old organization with its own principles and traditions, and our core members are very small, and only when the old people retire will they absorb new blood, and they need to pass the test."

The old trainer paused, "Don't be too busy refusing just yet, tell me what you want most right now?" ”

"My freedom?"

"If you can pass the test and become one of us, you'll be free." The old trainer promised.

"And what about the freedom of my friends?"

"That slave named Varro, I sympathize with his plight, it's not a difficult thing for us."

"Thirty thousand Sestes?"

This time the old trainer hesitated, "This ...... Although we can get this money, it is not in accordance with the rules, but I can promise it first, and if you do pass the test, I can personally fund it for you. ”

"I can't see that you're quite rich, and ...... I'm going to go to the Senate after I'm free. Zhang Heng made the last condition.

The old trainer shook his head as soon as he heard this, "This is impossible, although our organization does have some powerful allies politically, but what a ridiculous thing is it to let a newly liberated slave become a senator......" He suddenly paused as soon as he said this, and suddenly woke up, "You don't really want to enter the Senate, the previous condition was just to see how big our power is, if so, you are afraid that you will be disappointed, as I said, our core members are not many, and they are mainly civilians, It could not affect the daily operation of the Senate. ”

"That would be a pity." Zhang Heng said, "Because I can get freedom by my own strength, 30,000 Sesters sounds like a lot, but if I want to earn it, it's not that I can't earn it, only the Senate seems to be a little interesting, but you can't do it either." ”

"With your strength, you can indeed be free, but it will take three years at the earliest." The old trainer said, "Newcomers with average strength don't have many opportunities to perform at first, we can help you solve this trouble, and when the time is right, I can get you out of here together, and in addition, in addition to the above conditions, I can also teach you how to fight." ”

"I know how to fight."

"Yes, but what you know is the way warriors fight, I can teach you the way assassins fight, we have turned killing into an art, we don't take it lightly in normal times, but once you do, you will take a life." The old trainer looked at Zhang Heng, "Well, the set of steps I taught to Habitus is just the most basic entry, and the really powerful skills are only accessible to core members." ”

I have to admit that the old trainer's last proposal still made Zhang Heng very excited.

Up to now, the nine rounds of copies of the main line have made Zhang Heng gain a lot, and the game props are still secondary, and skills, which only take a lot of time to learn, are the most valuable part, but if this round of dungeons is just to learn the combat and training methods of gladiators, it is actually not much improvement for Zhang Heng.

After all, his sword skills have reached lv4, and his combat experience has long been accumulated in Hei Fan's ten-year dungeons, and now he can walk sideways in the arena.

In contrast, the Assassin's fighting skills were more valuable to him.

As for what the old trainer said about taking three years to get free, Zhang Heng didn't pay too much attention to it, he admitted that he really didn't expect that it would take so long to get free from the gladiatorial arena at first, of course, what the old trainer said was just a normal situation, in fact, there is a special situation, that is, to defeat an opponent who seems invincible, so that the audience in the entire arena cheers for you and unanimously asks for your freedom, at this time, even the master of the gladiator school has no way to refuse, Because the ancient Romans still paid a lot of attention to public opinion, at least when they were in the stands.

Zhang Heng hid his strength before, in addition to not wanting to be a cash cow for Makruz, but also to prepare for a quick escape through this method, of course, if the old trainer had a way to fish him out of the gladiator school, Zhang Heng would not object, after all, there was an easy way, and he would not deliberately make trouble for himself.

However, Zhang Heng also knows a truth, there is never a free lunch in this world.

The old trainer obviously hid some things from him, such as what he was working with Habitus before, why the talks between the two sides collapsed, and the reason why the old trainer appeared here is probably not as simple as he said that he was just invited by Gabi, and what is the so-called test of becoming a core member.

Zhang Heng didn't ask, because he knew that there was no result if he asked, at least for now, both sides have the value of using each other, and Zhang Heng also has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he doesn't have to think about the future, this is just a copy world for him after all, even if he counts the extra time, he will pat the P shares and leave after a year and a half.

This is also the reason why the gladiators before him swore so happily, as long as it was not something that would bring danger immediately, he could agree to it first, so Zhang Heng said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
