Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 68 The Next City
Recently, the relatively calm circle of the Kapua aristocracy has been relish in the incident related to Jin Zhan.
"I heard that the miracle son Jin Zhan was in a show contest and made the magistrate furious because he disobeyed the administrator's son and killed the loser. In desperation, Batitas punished Jin Zhan heavily in order to appease the emotions of the administrator and his son! Noble A said.
"I've heard about it too! I even heard that he was thrown into the underground arena! Another aristocratic woman, B, spoke.
"What? How can it be? He is the Miracle Child of the Arena and the Rainbringer. How could he be disposed of like this because of the childish demands of a little brat? Underground Arena What is that? That's where only those gamblers and the dead go, I don't believe it! A nobleman next to him questioned vigorously.
"Don't believe it, the news has already spread. Batitas estimated that he was the saddest person at this time. His right-hand man was unknowingly put on the spot by such a young man. ”
"But he can't help it, if you don't deal with it just decisively. Will the magistrate give up? So in fact, from Batitas's point of view, he has no problem dealing with it. Isn't the Son of Miracle a slave to put it bluntly? ”
Hearing this, the nobleman who had just tried his best to question it was also a little speechless. Sighing, he said: "Alas, such a legendary warrior hasn't given us a few performances in the Capua Arena, but he didn't think that he was sent to an underground arena like an underground arena by a little hairy child. ”
Noble A said, "Not necessarily. I think Batitas is actually a bit of a superficial thing. If you were Batitas, would you be willing to let your signboard be buried in an underground arena like that? ”
"When the play is done, I think Batitas will slowly get him to the ground. We'll definitely have a chance to see the Miracle Child perform on stage. ”
As soon as he said this, several other nobles strongly agreed. They did get a little bit of enthusiasm to go to the underground arena and see the buzz, though.
.......
How could these trivial matters circulated in aristocratic circles not reach the ears of Soronis, a gladiator operator?
The completeness and logic of the event were very convincing, and Soronis was suddenly excited. He found Azul wandering around as quickly as possible.
After taking off his hood, Azul saw the weather-beaten, extremely emaciated, yet gloomy and worldly face of Soronis. Just a bright smile erupted from his face, which made Azul feel disagreeable for a while.
I heard Soronis say, "Azul, you must know what I have to ask. What's going on with Jin Zhan's matter now?
Azul respectfully said to Soronis, "Boss, this matter is hardly different from the rumors. I have seen this with my own eyes, and I can't fake it. ”
"Jin Zhan, a young man who believes that he is young and promising, has high merits, and he dares to disobey the requirements of the nobles, which is also self-defeating. But congratulations to the boss. Batitas was now a self-defeating man, losing an important figure in business and in the arena. ”
Soronis wrote all the irrepressible excitement on his face, and continued to ask, "Is that Batitas really willing to send Jin Zhan to the underground arena?" Or was he just playing for the adult? ”
Azul squinted his eyes and said to Soronis, "Boss, you look down on Battitas a little bit by saying this. Don't you know him yet? In the face of the stakes, he can even kill his own father with his own hands, let alone cut off his own arm? ”
"He's definitely a guy who doesn't drag his feet when he decides. Tonight you can see Jin Zhan in the underground arena. Once you go to the underground arena, I'm afraid even the god of war will have to peel off his skin, right? ”
Soronis continued to rejoice: "What you say is very reasonable. But Batitas is also an extremely shrewd man, and he will definitely do everything he can to protect Jin Zhan secretly. After this scene is over, Jin Zhan will definitely be redeemed by him again. ”
Azul nodded in agreement, "Boss, you guessed right. Batitas dinner has already made me quietly come out to prepare for the arena in the evening. How about it, did I secretly do something to make Jin Zhan completely fall in this underground arena, and remove an important scourge for the boss? ”
Soronis changed his look of joy and said angrily: "No! Azul, you're too short-sighted in this matter. Removing Jin Zhan can certainly suppress Batitas severely. But on the other hand, wouldn't it be several times more profitable to take this opportunity to use Jin Zhan for my purposes? ”
Azul pretended to be suddenly aware and said, "It's worthy of being the boss, but you still stand tall and see far." But Jin Zhan, a young and frivolous kid, arrogant and arrogant, is still so contemptuous of the powerful, do you think this kind of person is still worth your efforts to rein? ”
Soronis said angrily: "There is nothing wrong with being young and arrogant and arrogant in the first place. Besides, where can I, Soronis, not even have this bit of open-mindedness? ”
"After a long time, I think Jin Zhan, a young man, still has a lot of appetite for me. Besides, after this incident, I think he must have a lot of opinions about Batitas in his heart. If he feels the sincerity of my side at this critical moment, I think the probability of success at this time is not low. ”
Asur hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and added: "Jin Zhan has a good relationship with me on weekdays. In this case, I can understand it with reason and move it with emotion. How about lobbying for you at the right time? ”
"It's just that Jin Zhan has been in the underground arena, how can you meet and communicate with him."
Soronis smiled: "You can lobby and pave the way, and I will arrange the rest." If Batitas didn't have these problems, why did Ganix leave him back then? ”
The training ground in the Battitas Mansion is not lively for a while. The gladiators gathered in groups of three or five to discuss Jin Zhan's punishment in the underground arena.
Originally, due to the addition of many new gladiator reserve trainees in the training ground, it was difficult to unify the opinions of many people. But now as soon as Jin Zhan's incident came out, these gladiators with different regional cultures suddenly became united and hated the same enemy.
Since Jin Zhan and Spartacus defeated the Shadow of Death, their reputation in gladiator circles has naturally been very strong. In the hearts of this group of new students, they are even more worthy of admiration like heroes.
Unexpectedly, even the gladiators surrounded by such an aura were just the objects of easy ravaging by the nobles. Originally, it was the aristocratic prince who was unreasonable, but he didn't expect Jin Zhan's arguments to lead to him now falling to the end of going to the underground arena to fight. As a peer, I have a little bit of a sense of sympathy and desolation.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that when Kress and a group of high-ranking gladiators were trumpeting their dissatisfaction, it was Jin Zhan, who had a good relationship with Spartacus, who was born and died together, to persuade them.
Under Jin Zhan's explanation, although Spartacus and Vero did not understand the full stakes of this matter, they felt that it was not as simple as it seemed. It's just that the dissatisfaction with Batitas in the depths of his heart has increased a little.
Batitas didn't expect Jin Zhan to have such a high prestige and personnel in his gladiator group, which also made him feel a little more jealous of Jin Zhan.
Seeing this emotion shown by Batitas, Azul next to him was secretly happy in his heart. It seems that his own plan was not only successfully executed, but also brought a lot of additional effects.
