Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 64 The Goddess of Nature
Everyone looked at each other, wasn't the person who spoke Jin Zhan in the field? The metal dagger he was holding in his hand had been removed from Vero's neck at this time.
In a skeptical and astonished gaze, Melee continued to speak loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive the villain. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the altar on the right-hand side. Today is not only a coming-of-age ceremony for your son, but also the birthday of Silbele, the goddess of nature! ”
"It is well known that the goddess of nature has always loved peace and hated sword fighting and bloodshed. Therefore, on an occasion like today, the death execution of a warrior in an exhibition match is really blasphemous and offensive to the goddess! ”
These resounding words shocked everyone who was still in surprise just now.
The magistrate's servants were the first to react and shouted, "Presumptuous! You are a mere slave to dare to speak out here. How can the decisions made by my little master be made by you, a slave, by you, a slave? You slave deserve to be killed for a blatant crime! ”
However, the words of the magistrate's servant did not resonate with everyone present.
Although it is a bit rebellious to say that Jin Zhan disobeyed the will of the nobles as a slave, what Jin Zhan said did have some truth.
If no one mentions it, you can pretend not to know and tacitly understand it. But since Jin Zhan has already mentioned this matter in public, these religious magnates don't dare to do anything against the gods at all.
Even the administrator himself has now been defeated by Jin Zhan's words, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. How could he, as the governor of the place, openly provoke the gods, so he turned his anger and spearhead on Jin Zhan.
Looking at the helpless eyes of his son next to him asking for help, the administrator could not suppress the anger in his heart, and said, "You're right! The goddess of nature naturally doesn't like senseless killing, and this Vero can spare his life. ”
"But what about you? You have defied your master's orders in public. Such crimes are intolerable and unforgivable, and I think that the Goddess of Nature, in Being, will also agree with us to deal with you, an arrogant slave. ”
Hearing this, Baritas's heart sank to the bottom. Originally, it was just a loss of face and a gladiator. But now that this plot continues, I have to lose an absolute main force and political staff officer. Now he can't compromise again.
However, things were much better than he expected. Many of the guests invited to the trip were children and relatives of members of the Senate of the Republic of Rome. Although they are inferior in administrative rank to the Kapua magistrates, they are no worse in their hidden powers.
For an outstanding and ornamental gladiator like Jin Zhan, where are they willing to let him die without knowing why.
Otherwise, how can we see such a historic and legendary scene as the Twin Heroes Slaughtering Shadow in the arena in the future?
Therefore, some relatives of powerful people have spoken out to persuade the administrator.
"Jin Zhan is a big mistake in disobeying his master's orders, but he is not guilty of death. Moreover, he has the heart to remind us about the goddess of nature, and he can be regarded as a slave who is kind in heart and knows how to revere him. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won the approval of most of the people present.
How could Batitas not be happy when he saw this situation, and hurriedly said: "Honorable administrator and young son, I am really sorry that this situation has disturbed the two of you. ”
"The little slave Jin Zhan is really rebellious, I will not spare him, and I will definitely give the two of you a satisfactory result, what do you think?"
The administrator had also calmed down by this time. After glancing around, he also regretted his recklessness a little. After all, if Jin Zhan was really killed, he would have gone to the hearts of many nobles. This is not the same as a little face.
So he also took advantage of Batitas's words and went downhill by the way: "Within three days, please give me a satisfactory result, otherwise I will not give up easily." ”
There was a sense of relief. Only the schadenfreude on Azul's face in the dark corner receded a little, and he turned and left silently.
Inside the reception hall of the Battitas Mansion. Batitas was anxiously pacing back and forth, looking at Jin Zhan beside him from time to time, the reproach in his eyes was full of reproach, but he couldn't speak for a long time, so he could only sigh to himself.
Azul suddenly walked into the hall and asked Batitas for instructions with a straight face: "Master, I have an important plan I want to ask you, and I ask my master to take the time to hear about it. ”
Seeing the uninvited Azul, Batitas said angrily: "Azul, what's the matter with you?" Say it! ”
"At the moment we are strong and full-fledged. I think it's time to declare war on this old thing like Soronis. If this guy doesn't get rid of it for a day, he will still die like a hundred-legged insect but not stiffen, and it will always affect your right to speak in the gladiator circle. ”
Batitas turned to look at Azul and said, "How can I not know what you say?" But don't you see that I'm having a headache dealing with Jin Zhan right now? How can you still care about Soronis? ”
"This old thing is more calm than me, and good at forbearance. And don't look at him in the business for a while, but how can I not know that his actual strength is still very strong, and he still has many excellent gladiators in the prime of life. ”
"So don't look at the prosperity I have been in the aristocratic circle during this time, but in fact, these people are all wall grasses at both ends of the first rat. Maybe one day I'll go back to Soronis after losing a few games, how can he be so easy to deal with? ”
Asur squinted at Jin Zhan next to him, and continued to say respectfully: "Master, I have been thinking about it day and night, and finally I have come up with a clever plan. It is possible to completely eradicate Soronis and his forces in the gladiatorial arena. ”
"Oh? Hurry up, stop being so mysterious. Batitas was clearly interested, anxiously urging.
"Yes, master. First of all, I would like to report to you an important situation that Soronis has secretly approached me and wants me to join forces with him against you. And promised me a big reward after the deed was completed, which was the deposit he gave me. As he spoke, Azul pulled out a money bag and handed it to Batitas with both hands.
Batitas's expression changed again and again, and after seeing the money bag that Azul handed over, he still chose to remain silent, and his eyes coldly motioned for Azul to continue.
Azul continued: "When I saw that Thoronis took the initiative to find me to deal with you, I understood that this guy must be at the point of desperation, so he will abandon his face and make this decision. ”
"So I immediately saw that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of. It's rare that this scheming guy has such a time to be in a hurry, and since he is so anxious to ask me for help, he will inevitably relax his guard on many issues. ”
"I will pretend to defect to him and join him, and I will falsely and secretly reveal some information about you with him, and gradually build up his trust."
"Then comes the most crucial part, I want to arrange for Jin Zhan to join me in pretending to defect to Soronis to deceive his complete trust!"
