Chapter 6: Secrets in the Dark
"Boss, I'll connect the real mind to you, you'd better see for yourself, they are not two people as I thought before, but four people!" Dinah suddenly sent another message.
Immediately, a small three-dimensional image appeared on the instant information screen in Xu Mo's consciousness, which was Dinah's true mind. In this small stereoscopic screen, a small room where gladiators lived appeared in the corner. Inside this small, damp stone house, four people were talking around a wooden table.
Although they couldn't hear what they were saying, the faces of the four people were faintly recognizable. Three of the four people Xu Mo had already seen, Cabal, Lagerseus, Neos, and another taciturn middle-aged man with a scar on his face. The man's face was like a knife and axe, and his eyes were shining, and although he didn't speak much, as soon as he spoke, the other three immediately stopped and listened to him.
This person should be...... Xu Mo's pupils shrank, and he had a little inference in his heart, and then pushed Nilo, who was a little sleepy beside him.
"Cole, what are you doing, let me sleep for a while!" Nilo leaned against the edge of the cesspool and said dissatisfiedly, and was about to raise his hand to wipe his eyes, but suddenly saw the dirt on his hands, his body stiffened, and he put down his hand in a daze.
"You're such a pig, you can sleep anywhere!" Xu Mo rolled his eyes angrily, "Is the head of the Spartan regiment you said a ...... with a scar on his face?"
"Well, it's him, how do you know, the Spartan regiment is not training in the same area as us, these people have always done their own thing, and they won't mix with other gladiators!" Nilo asked curiously.
"I've heard people describe him!" Xu Mo smiled slightly and perfunctorily passed.
"Dinah, ask Max to contact the other three companions who have escaped the arena through team communication, and tell them that the team is willing to give them a chance......" Xu Mo said lightly, "However, they must provide some information we need, and ask what kind of plot race they are!" ”
"Got it, boss!" Dinah quickly agreed, and then broke off the connection to her true heart, and was silent. Xu Mo turned his head to look at Nilo, who was dozing off with his arms in his arms, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he also closed his eyes to recuperate, in order to survive this difficult night in the cesspool.
In the gladiator's stone house a few hundred meters away from the cesspool, the four elite gladiators were still communicating in a low voice, and the oil lamps and candles in the room would flicker from time to time, making the four figures on the wall like elves dancing in the dark.
"Captain Artemis, your people's temper is really hot!" Cabal said with a grin, completely devoid of the aggressiveness of the day.
“…… This is our Sparta! Artemis said in a rare way.
"If he is really a Spartan, then it should not be the annihilation sent in by Bardacus, and the other new slaves, have you all tried it?" Neos said slowly.
"It's only a part of the temptation, but many of them are cautious, and the old man named Max is secretly in contact with the other new slaves, shall we stop him?" Ragseus said with a frown.
"No, they must have heard about Vesuvius, but they didn't know that the situation had changed a lot. Since Spartacus' uprising on Mount Vesuvius, several gladiator schools in Pompeii have tightened their grip on gladiators, and their current actions are only self-defeating. Nyos said with a sigh.
"Yes, we don't know for the time being if any of them are sent in by Bardachus to keep an eye on them, and hastily contacting them will only cause trouble for the uprising. When that happens, it's not too late for them to make a choice, and even if they don't want to, our numbers will far outnumber the number of new slaves, and they won't be able to influence our actions! Cabal said cautiously, showing a reverence that was very different from his rugged appearance.
"Okay, okay, I don't understand these anyway, I'll leave it to you, I'm going back to sleep!" Ragseus yawned and pushed the door open.
The other three suddenly smiled wryly, Neos was already old, and the champion gladiators of Cabal and Lagerseus were the most powerful of the four. Compared with the appearance and gladiatorial performance of the two of them, outsiders would never have imagined that Cabal, who has great strength and wide open gladiatorial skills, is the military advisor and wise man among them, and Lagerseus, who is delicate in skill and is known for his double-sword skills in the gladiatorial arena, is the real fierce general who charges into battle.
"That Spartan, do we need contact?" Seeing Ragseus go out, the other three were also a little tired, and Neos asked a final question.
"Leave it to Captain Artemis, the Spartans are monsters, and only other Spartans can understand their thinking!" Cabal said with a wry smile.
"......," Artemis was silent.
……
"Boss, Max has already contacted the other three members of the group, all of whom are Gauls, and they are willing to provide the team with the information you need, but also ask us to disclose the news about the uprising to them, they are willing to cooperate with our uprising outside!" The next morning, Dinah sent a message to Xu Mo again.
"Say!" Xu Mo picked up the bucket and washed the dirt on his body. He and Nilo were finally freed in the early morning, and two servants pinched their noses and pulled them up from the cesspool with ropes.
Fortunately, the Spartan world is now in the spring rainy season, and the Bardax Gladiator School does not restrict the use of fresh water, otherwise, the two would be quarantined. After being exposed to the fresh air in the early morning, the two of them, who were already accustomed to the smell of feces, had a feeling of vomiting again, even if they were washed for more than half an hour, they still had the ultimate power of everything they passed.
"The three companions outside inquired that the branch mission 'uprising' we accepted was not the first gladiator uprising in the Spartan world, and that the uprising of the Capua gladiators had already erupted some time ago in Vesuvius. Their leader is also very famous in our world, called Spartacus, this should be the historical Spartacus uprising! Dinah said a little excitedly.
"Go on!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he slowly put down the bucket and wiped his body.
"In addition, you asked me to inquire that Pompeii will have a grand gladiatorial show in seven days, and several of the great gladiator schools will send people to celebrate the Roman Republic of Fibe...... Lum Festival. Dinah said a little awkwardly, "Boss, do you think the gladiators of the Bardachus school will revolt at this time?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Hey, boss, why do you only speak a few words every time you talk today?" Dinah suddenly asked a little strangely, "Hee-hee, is it smoked by the smell of the manure tank?" ”
“…… Yesterday Nilo made me understand one thing, since space gives us all kinds of racial identities, we must take advantage of them! Xu Mo said lightly, "Even if I'm not really a Spartan, at least I have to talk like them!" ”
After rinsing his body, Xu Mo was led by the guards into a small stone room, where two people were waiting for him.
