Chapter 14: Apprenticeship! To accept or not to collect?
The so-called high-quality nutritious food in Quintus's mouth is just from the original black bread to ordinary quality bread, and then there are a few more oil stars and greens in the bowl, and when the owner is in a good mood, you can still see some leftover meat and bones, which looks really pitiful.
In fact, it is really a pretty good delicacy for these slaves, and it is impossible for Li Siwu to say that there are no regrets and complaints, these foods that are difficult for even dogs to swallow in his own world really make him unable to see the existence of nutrients in them.
Fortunately, they can at least fill their stomachs and provide their bodies with that pitiful nourishment on the premise that they can keep themselves alive.
When the time of three days came, Li Siwu didn't need anyone to remind him, he took the initiative to send himself to the training ground, and when he met all the gladiators again after a "long absence", all he saw in his devilish black eyes was surprise, puzzlement, suspicion, and a trace of jealousy and vigilance hidden in the depths of his eyes.
How could Li Siwu possibly know why these gladiators leaked out the appearance of obvious alienation from him, especially when those gladiators saw their faces, the inexplicable horror that leaked was the same as everyone he had seen in the past few days, which made him even more puzzled.
He thinks that his appearance is not inferior even to Gannix, but why does everyone look like they have seen a ghost?
In the past few days, he had observed the surface of the water many times, and his face was no different from before, except that it was very thin and slightly deformed.
I can't figure it out, so I just stop thinking about it, no matter what these people think of him, no matter how bad his physical condition is at the moment, no matter how serious the hidden danger of forcibly participating in high-intensity training in such a physical condition will bring to him, he must do his best to temper his body.
Even if he will eventually collapse because of this, as long as he can successfully complete the main quest one, he believes that the reward will bring him an unexpected and huge surprise.
"Increase your physical strength, don't let me down!"
With this expectation in his heart, he did not choose any training program at the first time, but staggered to a tall and strong black man who could no longer be black, as gray as the bottom of the pot.
This man was the powerful gladiator Onormamus he had heard the most about these days, full of a sense of justice, generous and generous, and compared to everyone else, this man was the only one who could help Li Siwu complete the next series of plans.
His existence is equivalent to a stepping stone, only if he succeeds in getting the help of this man, can Li Siwu reluctantly continue to struggle in this world, once he fails?
The consequences are unimaginable!
Honoramos was not a little jealous of the men who were getting closer and closer to him, but he was more appreciative and reminiscent than other gladiators.
As others said, from this young man, he really saw the figure of his youth, thinking that he had no father or mother, only a teenager, he was resold many times, and finally sent to the underground dueling arena of death hell, he was like a blank sheet of paper, and he didn't understand anything.
But his heart was shrouded in endless darkness, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he had to fight one death match after another with adult men in the underground gladiatorial arena with the highest mortality rate and the most frequent battles.
With almost no training, he was able to survive only by the tyranny and ruthlessness that came from his blood and soul.
The persistence and infinite attachment and desire for life that the child in front of him showed before was amazingly similar to that of him back then, and the feeling of sympathy made him stay away for a while, nor did he stay.
It wasn't until Li Siwu came to him two meters away, panting, pushing the golden mountain like a rock, falling to the jade pillar, kneeling on the ground, and putting the arrogant head that would never say die and admit defeat on the ground, the throbbing heart suddenly began to beat wildly.
The surging blood in his body flowed wildly in his veins like a twelve-level tsunami, and even those who were too close could hear his flowing sound.
Onomamus didn't know what this child wanted to do, but the recognition and familiarity that came from the depths of his heart made him unable to feel the slightest rejection of this child anyway.
"Onomames, I know that you are the most powerful gladiator here, and I have heard many great deeds about you from her these days because of the care I received from Marita!"
"I know that my body is very weak, but I have a heart that wants to be strong, and my biggest dream in life is to become a strong man, to stand in the arena as a powerful gladiator, and to win the highest honor by killing all opponents with my own hands! Can you—can you fulfill my wish? ”
"If I still have a shred of value in your eyes, then I hope to be able to become your disciple, and I hope to be able to take your and my shared wish to one day in the arena to fight the undefeated god of war Shadow of Death, Theokos, and decapitate his head with my own hands to prove that me and my master are the myth of the arena! You—can you grant me that request? ”
"Puff~~~Aha......"
Hearing Li Siwu's foolish nonsense, all the gladiators laughed at the first time, and the laughter was full of sarcasm and mockery!
Seeing that Li Siwu was no longer that kind of jealousy and jealousy, all of them had been replaced by an idiot-like expression, in their eyes, even if Li Siwu at this moment successfully defeated the Grim Reaper and got a second life, it was a pity that he had become a fool, obviously his spirit had been irreparably damaged, otherwise how could a normal person say such a fantastical nonsense?
Even Onomamus himself felt like a dream when he heard it, and he could never have imagined that one day such a weak person would say such inconsequential words in front of him.
However, the situation that he would be furious and smash the other party into pieces with a punch did not appear, but a trace of strong desire rose in his heart.
In this life, he Honoramos has not been able to continue the legend, since the moment he lost to Theokos in the arena, his stage has collapsed, and his pride has been trampled under the feet of countless pairs of big feet.
No matter how strong he is, no matter how proud and confident his heart is, he can never erase the fate of defeat in the arena.
In this way, he no longer deserves to have the capital of pride, and this defeat will turn into an infinite black cloud like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and he will never have a bright day.
He knew that with his own strength, he would never be able to get out of the shadow of Theokos in this life, and he would never have the possibility of defeating the other party in the arena.
Just when he was disheartened, a half-grown child like Li Siwu suddenly appeared, who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and didn't have the slightest gladiator pride.
As a gladiator, you must not kneel at the feet of any gladiator to show cowardice and pleading, but I don't know why Onomamus was moved by such a person.
It's not too accurate to describe it as impressed, it should be that he was once again ignited by this child The flame that has been extinguished in his heart is ignited.
If he can become this child's master, if under his training, this disciple can really one day defeat the invincible god of war Seokos in the arena, then it is equivalent to him changing direction and fulfilling his wish, this-what can he use to refuse this powerful temptation!
