Chapter 171: Expedition, Rome!
Well, this is indeed Zhao Yu's pot.
He thought it would be enough to come, so he set off two days late, forgetting that without the two of them, the other gladiators wouldn't be able to leave!
This is not a trivial matter, the champion and the third runner-up (tied) have disappeared, how to explain to His Majesty Commodus? I'm afraid that the whole Carthage people who are involved in this matter will be washed in blood! This is also because of Zhao Yu's modern way of thinking, so he feels irrelevant.
Senatia's anxious aunt has been postponed for the past two days, and she has said all the good things to the officials who came to urge her every day, and she barely dragged it out, if Zhao Yu is a day or two late, she will have to lose her life!
At this time, Zhao Yu knew how much responsibility Senatia had taken on to let him go.
Somewhat moved, he hurriedly stepped forward to admit his mistake: "It's all my fault, blame me!" I shouldn't have robbed that treasure, I just think it fits you perfectly! ”
"What treasure?" Senatia, full of rage, was instantly distracted.
"This!" Zhao Yu stuffed his hand into his arms and carefully took out a music box!
The black and bright material and beautiful pattern instantly attracted Senatia's attention, Zhao Yu slowly opened the lid, and a crisp and pleasant song to Alice immediately rang out, startling everyone!
And there are two villains in the box, standing on the red flannel stage, dancing with the music, the two heads keep parting and closing, and there is a translucent glass mirror on the lid behind them, reflecting the dazzling sunlight!
Rare treasures! And I'm a good match! It's worth the old money!
Senatia was left with only such a mess of thoughts.
The rice bucket rolls his eyes, you make it up, you continue to make it!
After that, Senatia held the music box and never let go, she kept rubbing it on her face, looking like she wanted to study where the sound came from, but she was afraid of breaking it, in the eyes of everyone, this thing was no different from magic.
Due to the urgency of time, Zhao Yu didn't even have time to rest, and hurriedly gathered with everyone and got on the ship, they will cross the entire Mediterranean Sea in the next ten days, reach the city of Rome in the north, and have to pray that there will be no storms.
There were six ships bound for Rome, and in addition to the twenty elite gladiators in order, there were a large number of related people, such as their respective slave owners.
Senatia also went on board with a group of slaves, and she also brought a few thousand gold coins as a gambling book, and her goal was to make at least ten thousand dollars on this trip to Rome!
The voyage was smooth, but the process was boring, the ship of this era was too slow, too small, and it was simply sinful on it, but fortunately, Zhao Yu had a cabin as a champion, and he hid in it and played with the computer every day.
After going ashore, he arrived at the city of Rome, even as a modern person, seeing the huge Rome, Zhao Yu was still shocked, the city that can accommodate millions of people in this era is simply a miracle!
And compared with the ancient cities, the city of Rome also has a very distinctive place, that is, there is no city wall, because the self-confident Romans thought that no one could hit Rome, but then Rome declined, and after a short time, they slapped themselves in the face and erected the city walls.
A group of hundreds of people entered the city, near the landmark Roman Colosseum, and stayed in the hotel prepared by the official for them, where they will fight and shed their blood for more than a month.
There are thirty-six teams like theirs, almost every province has its own team, and the number of them is twenty people, and they will compete in fierce team competitions to determine the final winner, in order to compete with the Roman team!
And the number of players in a team is ten, and the remaining ten are substitutes, even so the team that can fight to the end, the number can reach ten, it is a miracle, it can be seen how high the casualty rate is! (Those with injuries will also withdraw)
For the next few days, the gladiators did recovery training in the small courtyard of the hotel, except for Zhao Yu and the others, everyone else knew each other, because they had often practiced together for the previous two months.
"You should communicate with them more, in the Roman gladiatorial arena, fighting is not a one-man business." Alsace kindly reminded.
"Hmm." Zhao Yu casually agreed, he didn't think that these weak chickens were of any help, on the contrary, the experience of Alsace was the most useful: "You also participated in the Rome competition two years ago, can you tell us more about it?" ”
The Roman gladiatorial tournament was held every two years, and Alsace won the championship of the city of Carthage and led the team to Rome.
“。。 That time, it's a sad story, you may have heard it, only eight people went back in the team of twenty people, everyone was seriously injured, no one participated except me this year, Leoni's kid rebelled in advance, and I never saw anyone else. Alsace sighed and said: "And at such a price, we only entered the top ten, and we didn't even see anyone from the Roma team!" ”
"I'm Cao! So scary?! Zhao Yu was shocked: "With your strength, how can it be so miserable!" ”
"It's not surprising, I'm in the top five of all the teams, but like I said, it's not a one-man game, the team is very important, last time it was the team that got smaller and smaller, so I had to face too many enemies in the later stages."
"I see, you can rest assured this year, with me and Rice Bucket joining, the champion must be ours!" Zhao Yu understood when he heard this, what he was not afraid of was group beating, and weak chickens were weak chickens!
"Haha, I'm dumbfounded to win the championship once!" Alsace smiled heartily, he also felt that there was a lot of hope for this year, Zhao Yu's strength was not weak, and he was a good teammate: "But don't be careless, you must know that this year is the tenth year of His Majesty's reign, maybe he can come up with some new tricks." ”
Everyone knows that with Commod's urine, in a day worthy of celebration like ten years of government, there will definitely be a lot of moths, and Zhao Yu knows even more that Commodus doesn't do moths, he will do it, how many people dare to think about assassinating the emperor?
But everyone didn't expect the moth to come so quickly.
It's funny to say this, so much so that Zhao Yu can't accept it.
On the day before the start of the competition, Commodus asked all the gladiators participating in the gladiatorial fight, a total of 720 people, to assemble, and everyone inexplicably stood in a queue of thirty-six teams, which were formed by the officials leading the team, and were reviewed by the emperor.
Commodus was more than an hour late, and then arrived with a large group of guards, and in the sun he did not give any speech, but walked in front of everyone, and from time to time he clicked on someone, as if picking goods.
Zhao Yu also saw the appearance of this tyrant, very handsome, in the prime of his thirties, with a strong and sturdy figure, wearing golden armor, wearing a crown, if you want to give him a description, Zhao Yu feels that the sun god in Greek mythology is more suitable.
