Happy New Year! I wish you all a speedy ferry ticket!

――

Li Lian didn't make a move in the end, not because he was too shocked at this scene, but because he was unaware of the vigilance of the eagle.

Gnavier wasn't as obsessed with Gus's body as she appeared, and a large part of her attention was on Li Lian's direction.

Li Lian can be sure that he who hides his body with the principle of wind should not be detected from this distance by normal means, but Gnavier's vigilance is also a fact, her vigilance is not exactly on Li Lian, but on the area where Li Lian is.

This shows that she didn't perceive Li Lian as a person, but she sensed the danger that enveloped her.

"Intuition?"

Most warriors who have been living and dying for a long time will have an ineffable intuition, a hazy sense of danger.

It is impossible to determine whether it is a hidden sense or a spiritual ability.

Li Lian only needs to know that even if he sneaks up at this time, he will not achieve any desired effect, but may be beaten by a small couple.

Therefore, after watching a good show, he left decisively.

――

Three hours later, the Ludes training ground.

"Spartacus, the gods also praised his bravery, and sent down the rain to give Capua a new life! All gladiators are ashamed of themselves, and all heroes are dwarfed, and today, we witness his bravery and his legend! ”

"Spartacus!!"

"Spartacus!!"

"Spartacus!!"

……

On the terrace on the second floor, Batitas praised the gladiators in a highly respectable word.

Among gladiators, they don't recognize ethnicity, age, skin color, but strength!

Spartacus's strength makes people have nothing to say, for these martial men, no matter how cold words were spoken to him before, there is only admiration left at this time.

The crowd surrounded him, patted him on the shoulder, and congratulated him one by one.

Spartacus, on the other hand, seemed to be in a state of disgrace.

――

"Haha, don't look at me like that, of course I won't fake what I promised you." In the reception room, with a sincere smile on his face, Battitas took out two silver glasses, filled them with fine wine, and handed them to Spartacus.

"Drink, don't worry, in fact, I've already sent someone to find out your wife. The man is very good at it, and there will be results soon. Batitas patted Spartacus on the shoulder enthusiastically.

"How long?" Spartacus asked.

"A week at most, and then your reunion, haha, Spartacus, this is just one of your many rewards, Messenger of Rain, Hero of Shadow Slayer, haha, there are countless names on your head, Spartacus, you are the legend of Capua, you are the miracle of the arena!"

Batitas, at this time, is no longer dispensable towards Spartacus at all, not only because Spartacus defeated the Shadow of Death, but the most important thing is that timely rain!

For the people of this era, the messenger of rain is a great gimmick, as if Spartacus is a warrior recognized by the gods, which is very important.

With these halos on his head, even if Spartacus is not as strong as the war ghost, but in terms of influence, it is far surpassing.

On the other hand, it would be a good idea to provoke the Archon by not obeying orders because of his disobedience to orders, and to hide him for a while while while the Archon will subside.

The key now is whether to accept the alliance of those of the mysterious "Far Eastern realms".

Because of Spartacus's victory, Batitas's impoverished situation was reversed in one fell swoop, but it was not that the strength of those men was urgently needed.

Thinking about the danger involved, he couldn't help but retreat a little.

――

The reason why Li Lian insisted on forming an alliance with Batitas was that on the one hand, it could indeed avoid accidents, and on the other hand, it was for the sake of the contract itself.

The warlocks of this world are not good at the destruction magic of the plastic energy system, but they are very good at curses, witchcraft, and contract magic.

The Curse of Shackles, the most widely used, is used by a warlock to cast a spell and then transfer control to the slave owner.

In other words, Batitas is the one who controls the shackles, but he has no idea how the shackles are opened.

Even if he threatened with his life, he would not be able to break the shackles, and if he threatened him to tell the warlock who cast the spell in the first place, there was a great deal of uncertainty in this.

How do I find a Warlock? How do you bring the Warlock back after finding it? The warlock didn't really lift, but deceived the crowd that it had been lifted, what should I do? There was no way for anyone to test if Spartacus still had shackles.

At the time limit set by the main god, if Spartacus still has shackles hidden on his body, then the mission will be considered a failure.

Coupled with the obstruction of the Eagle team, there is too much uncertainty in this, and no one who arranges is willing to face that situation.

On the other hand, it is much safer to fight for freedom in the arena and to lift the shackles.

The danger is that in that case, the distance between Spartacus and the Eagles will be narrowed, and Spartacus may be sniped by the Eagles.

This is also what Li Lian is most afraid of.

So, at first, he protected Spartacus almost every step of the way, testing the reaction of the Eagles.

According to Li Lian's speculation, the mission of the Eagle Team is unlikely to be to directly kill Spartacus.

Because it's so simple, even if it's a weak team, there are many ways to kill a person who is not very strong from the hands of a strong team.

Protect, than destroy, is much more difficult.

And the comparison of the strength of the two teams, Li Lian feels that the Eagle Team is 3~4 percent stronger, if the Radiant Eagle is really the person in the Sword Wind, even if this is not the Sword Wind World, she does not have the plug-in bonus of the "Hand of God", then at least it is a top-level "Apostle", compared to the Apostles in the Apocalypse World, those in the Sword Wind are all genuine terrible monsters.

Through several previous temptations, Li Lian can now determine that the mission of the Eagle Team is indeed not to kill Spartacus directly, at least before this "killing", some conditions have been added.

In addition, the Eagle Team even sent Gus to participate in the gladiatorial fight, and it seems that they are very obsessed with the arena, this location.

So, Li Lian boldly guessed that the mission of the Eagle Team was limited to the location of the "Arena"?

In other words, their purpose must be in the arena to achieve it.

Although it is just a guess, there are only three or four percent of the certainty, but you might as well lay some foreshadowing for the three or four percent of the grasp, wrong, harmless, yes, it will become a dead end.

――

Back to the contract, if you want to sign a contract with Battitas to help each other, he can't cast spells himself, then, he must go to the warlock.

Warlocks are quite scarce in this era, and the chances of Batitas knowing more than one warlock are really small.

The warlock who came because of this contract is likely to be the one who released the curse of the shackles, and the one who has cooperated with Batitas, the gladiator master, for a long time.

If Li Lian directly asked where the warlock who released the shackles was, then it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of Batitas, and with his cunning, he would definitely not explain it obediently.

By signing an alliance contract, he will not be suspicious. When that warlock came over, Li Lian could do a lot.

In fact, drawing material from the original book, some deadly tricks have also been naturally brewed.

The plot is unreliable, because of the chaotic entry of reincarnations, the plot can change at any time.

But the character's personality is unchanged, and he can easily join Batitas's side because of his understanding of his character.

So, the question now is how to get Batitas to decide to sign as soon as possible.

Li Lian, who had been listening to Batitas's actions almost all the time, of course noticed his hesitation, because of Spartacus's victory, he became passable and did not want to take risks.

That's not going to work, Batitas, you probably think you're safe, right?

Then, we have to find a way to make him less safe, which is also a small trick for the Implied team.

Li Lian knew just some small tricks, just relying on his extremely calm brain and clear logic, and speculated some "probabilities".

On the basis of a few pieces of information, it is not possible to deduce all the plans of the enemy's plan of action, and then lay out a foolproof kill, which is not something that can be done by mere reasoning, this is already the domain of the prophet.

There are no absolutes, everything is just probability, there is no necessity, everything is a superposition of countless accidents.

Understanding this, finding the path with the highest probability, and then giving up useless thinking and actively practicing it is the secret of mortal layout.
