CHAPTER XIV

"Your Excellency the Great Archon of Capua, a guest from the Far East sends you a sincere greeting!" Lin Li bowed politely, and said words that made him sick to his stomach. The fat consul's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Lin Li's words, obviously very satisfied with the word 'great' he was crowned, of course it was nothing for the consul's slaves and subordinates to say this, but it was naturally different from the mouth of a visitor from a distant and huge empire.

Sure enough, he had the demeanor of a visitor from the great empire, and his heart was overjoyed by Lin Li's compliment, and the obese consul believed Lin Li's origin five points, but the consul's face still retained reserve, and he said lightly, "Sure enough, he is an imperial envoy, and his demeanor is extraordinary." Come, give my guests a seat, and go to the cellar to get a pot of the best ice wine. Mr. Emissary, I am deeply sorry to hear that your convoy has been attacked, and that such an unpleasant thing has happened in Rome, but I will send an army to destroy the damned barbarians. ”

"Your Excellency is really kind to be able to avenge us and other visitors from afar, but although my subordinates died in battle, they also showed me the strength of the Roman legions, and I was deeply shocked by the strength and prosperity of Rome!" Lin Li smiled and saluted the consul slightly, then sat down, and made the consul nod secretly with a pampered and unfazed manner. When a beautiful maid brought a silver kettle and poured a glass of brown wine for Lin Li, Lin Li raised his glass to the consul and took a shallow taste, and then put the wine glass down somewhat casually. This style made the consul even more afraid to underestimate Lin Li, at this time in Capua, it was not just a random nobleman who could drink ice wine, Lin Li took a sip of this wine and put it down, which showed that this wine was not precious to him at all. It seems that this person is very likely to come from the empire in the far east, and the black-eyed person in front of that empire is probably also a nobleman, thinking of this, the fat consul slowly sat up straight, no longer as casual as just now.

"Wherever, I heard that the Han Empire in the far east was rich and powerful, and I also admired it very much!" The consul nodded reservedly, the fat on his chest throbbed up and down, and Lin Li was disgusted when he saw it.

Seeing that this consul had already believed most of his fabricated identity, Lin Li really didn't want to deal with this guy, so he cut straight to the point and said, "Your Excellency, this time I traveled on the order of the great emperor, just to find a strong country, and I also want to see the advanced combat skills, I heard that there are several well-known gladiator schools in Capua, I wonder if Your Excellency can let me go and learn it?" ”

"In addition, my servants have all been killed in the barbarian attack, I wonder if Your Excellency the Archon can reward me with two slave girls, today this knight's squad escorted a few slaves into the city, if Your Excellency allows me to pick out two of them." Seeing the fat consul hesitating, Lin Li took out the gold necklace he had obtained in the world of the walking dead from his bosom and sent it to the consul and said, "Originally, the emperor of our country prepared a lot of gifts, but unfortunately these gifts were plundered by the barbarians, and this necklace that was blessed by the gods was left, I hope your Excellency can accept this small gift." ”

The gold necklace that burst out of the gangster's body is not heavy, about 300 grams, which is not valuable, but this chain can be said to be extremely delicate in Rome of this era, and the Roman ornaments of the same era cannot be so delicate. Originally, the archon didn't care about a golden chain at all, but after carefully looking at the chain, the consul quickly picked it up from Lin Li's hand and rubbed it repeatedly in front of his eyes.

"Such a delicate skill, in Rome I am afraid that only a few senators in the senate have treasures! This gift is too valuable for me to accept! The consul said that the Roman senators might have something similar, but he knew very well in his heart that such a necklace could not be found in the whole of Rome, and he pretended not to accept it, but he clutched the necklace tightly and did not let go. …,

Lin Li laughed secretly in his heart, and said with a solemn and serious expression, "Your Excellency, this is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor of our country, but I dare not take it back, and I ask Your Excellency to accept it." ”

"In that case, then leave the necklace with me first, and return it when Mr. Messenger leaves Capua!" The archon disappeared with a shake of his necklace, beckoned to the two beautiful maids beside him, and he continued, "How can an ordinary slave girl be worthy of your identity as a messenger, these two of my most beautiful maids will be given to the messenger, and if the messenger wants to learn gladiatorial fighting, then find a gladiator school in Capua at will!" ”

mentioned again that he still wanted the slave in the prisoner car, but the consul didn't agree, Lin Li knew that this was probably the main god would not let Lin Li get Sula so easily, and then Lin Li didn't insist.

Having obtained a legal status in Kapua, Lin Li was satisfied with the trip and took his farewell to the consul, and the clerk beside the consul held out a silver plate with a hundred dinars in it.

Dinar: Valuable, Roman trading currency, not to be taken out of the realm of this world.

It's a pity that it's just an ordinary valuable, otherwise if you bring it out of this world, maybe you can use it next time, Lin Li thought about putting away this hundred dinars, and said to the clerk who followed him, "I heard that there is a gladiator school called ludus in Capua that is famous, I don't know how this gladiator school is now?" ”

"I didn't expect the messenger to have heard of this gladiator school, Ludus was indeed the best gladiator school in Capua before, but since the death of the previous master of this school, Ludus's situation has begun to deteriorate, I heard that the current master there Battista has fallen into a financial crisis, and a few days ago he took the risk of buying a Thracian slave who offended Gaius, the deputy commander of the Roman legion!" The clerk said respectfully to Lin Li that in his opinion, this envoy from the far east had already won the favor of the consuls, and maybe he would be brought to Rome by the consuls in the future, and be received by the big figures of the Roman Senate, and there was nothing wrong with being respectful to him, and perhaps there would be some benefits in the future.

Thracian slaves, offended Gaius, Lin Li's eyes flashed, this person should be Spartacus, it seems that he is staying in Ludus now.

"Oh? I see, but I've heard that there are still some powerful warriors in Ludus, such as those called Capua God of War or something, so let's go there! Lin Li said.

"Kapua's god of war? It seems that there is a person named Cress, and his strength is not bad, so please come here as a messenger, and I will show you the way! The clerk bowed slightly, and then led Lin Li through the streets of this city full of 'field battles'.
