The two gladiators in the same room didn't know when they woke up, anyway, they were no longer there when Zhang Heng returned to the house, and it wasn't until it was completely dark that they walked into the door with their shoulders hooked again, and they still smelled of alcohol.

In fact, their choice is not difficult to understand, although the gladiator school continues to have slave gladiators like Sisnatus and Garba freed, but among the majority of slave gladiators, it is always a small percentage of the majority of slave gladiators who can be freed, and many more end up dying in the arena.

Although the mortality rate of gladiators has decreased significantly compared to BC, the average survival age of 25 years old still says a lot, and if you don't have fun in time, it is likely that you will not have time to have fun tomorrow, not to mention that they are only a day of revelry.

After a while, Varro also came back from the training ground, chatted with Zhang Heng briefly, and went to bed separately.

…………

In the middle of the night, the entire city of Rome fell silent from the hustle and bustle.

Except for the occasional domus and temple with oil lamps, most of the place was plunged into darkness.

Zhang Heng also closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep, until someone pushed his body, Zhang Heng opened his eyes and saw the face of the old Persian trainer, who was standing in front of his bed, and made a gesture to him to go out and say, and then walked out of the room first, Zhang Heng put on sandals, followed behind the old trainer, passed through the three people who were still sleeping in the house, and came to the courtyard outside.

At least for now, the other party's previous story is not made up.

Zhang Heng has experienced so many rounds of dungeons, many of which are full of dangers, which also makes him develop the habit of still being alert when sleeping, generally speaking, the sound of someone moving something will make him wake up from his sleep, of course, this ability may not be as good as before in the gladiator dormitory where there is a snoring sound everywhere, but the old trainer can also explain a lot of problems when he comes to his bed unconsciously.

If the other party has murderous intentions towards him, he is likely to be in a different place.

So...... Is this how the Assassins fight?

Zhang Heng saw the figure of the old trainer turn into a small training ground in front of him, so he also followed, but when he entered the training ground, he did not see the figure of the old trainer inside.

There was no longer the liveliness of the daytime on the current training ground, and the entire training ground was empty, but soon, Zhang Heng's heart was alert, something was coming behind him, although the other party's movements were very light, and there was almost no air current.

However, Zhang Heng's rich combat experience still came into play at this time, he twisted his body and conceded the blow at the last moment, and also saw clearly that the thing that attacked him was a small wooden dagger.

The old trainer was also a little surprised to see Zhang Heng dodge this blow.

Including coming to Zhang Heng's bed quietly and disappearing before, he originally wanted to let Zhang Heng intuitively feel the strength of the assassin in this way, but he didn't expect it to overturn when he finished at the end, he knew that Zhang Heng had hidden his strength in the previous final assessment, but he didn't expect the latter to hide so much strength.

In addition, he is getting older again, and his skills have indeed declined a lot compared to when he was young.

No one can fight against the greatest enemy of time, whether it is an assassin or a gladiator, as he gets older, his physical fitness is indeed not as good as the past, as a person who has been accompanied by death all year round, he can clearly feel the aging of his body, and he also understands more and more what it feels like to be powerless.

Zhang Heng on the other side had already distanced himself from the old trainer at this time, he looked around, and was looking for a weapon, but he didn't expect that the next moment the old trainer gave up the attack and turned around and ran towards the outside of the training ground.

Zhang Heng didn't rush to catch up, but first went to the room where the weapons were stored on the side, of course, he could see that the old trainer had no ill will towards him, so he only took a wooden training sword.

As a result, as soon as the front foot went out, another dagger stabbed him in the throat.

"Keep an eye out for the areas where you can block your view, these are the best places for the Assassins to attack." The old trainer whispered.

However, this time Zhang Heng was already prepared, and stopped the dagger opposite with the wooden sword in his hand.

In fact, in all fairness, the old trainer's blow was still very good, faster than the previous sneak attack from his back, the angle was more secretive, and it was still silent.

But it's a pity that his opponent is Zhang Heng, whose sword skills have reached lv4, once the latter has a knife in hand, even the best assassin in the world will be difficult to break his defense.

The old trainer is still a one-hit-and-go, and he doesn't love fighting. This time he jumped directly onto a wall not far away, but Zhang Heng also followed, climbing over the wall and entering the next courtyard, but it was just such a moment's delay, and the old trainer disappeared from his eyes again.

However, Zhang Heng quickly thought of something again, raised the wooden sword in his hand, and took a stab that fell from the sky.

"Everybody's eyes are deceived and learn to take advantage of the observation habits of the target."

The old trainer was like a shadow coming out of his shadow, ghostly and light.

But after that, he stopped Zhang Heng's intention to pursue by victory, and leaned on the earthen wall on the side, "Wait, let me take a breath." ”

So Zhang Heng also politely put away the training sword in his hand.

The old trainer rested for a while and regained his strength, but he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing, and waved his hand with some interest, "Don't fight, let's stop here." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Heng was a little regretful, although there were only three moves in the fight between the two sides, the old trainer adopted a fighting method that he had never seen at all, which really broadened his horizons and made him gain something.

But Dadatis has already hung up the war-free card, and Zhang Heng is not good at bullying the old man.

"In fact, a good assassin will not assassinate the same target more than three times, and if the three times are unsuccessful, it means that Chreith does not want to take the target's life, and as an assassin, no matter how good the reward is, and what a good reason, he should choose to let go."

The old trainer paused and said, "I have to admit that I underestimated you, even if I was younger, I wouldn't be completely sure that I would kill you in those three sneak attacks just now, but don't be too happy, top assassins don't have only one way to kill their targets." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng didn't say anything, he himself was a little out of momentum at first, mainly according to the original plan, he should quietly put the wooden dagger on the back of Zhang Heng's heart, and tell the other party in a deep voice that you are dead, and then talk about your glorious history can be more convincing.
