In the blink of an eye, Zhang Long had been drifting on the slave ship for a week. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was treated quite well, moving from the stinking confinement pod to the special cabin for gladiator seeds, and although he was still shackled, the environment was quite dry and pleasant. In a way, it was more comfortable than the partition where he had lived before he crossed it, because at least he could bask in the sun from the ventilation window, and he could eat rye bread and drink milk every day: a privilege to which only gladiator seeds were entitled.

After talking with the slaves in the same cabin and his deep background knowledge of dark games, he already has a preliminary understanding of this three-dimensional world of St. Hugh Yari and his own situation:

First of all, there is no change in his appearance, it is still the same as before, but his body has become a rather strong man, and his hair has become an unkempt chicken nest. And according to several conversations with Sam later, this body originally belonged to a retarded person in this world with the same name and surname as himself, which is really incredible.

Secondly, the lingua franca of this world is very similar to English, and it is almost possible to communicate without barriers, which is what he is most fortunate about, at least after crossing over, he will not be dumb and illiterate for a while.

Then, there is the specific customs of this world. As with the game's official setting, the continent of St. Hugh is divided into east and west by the Twin Seas, with the Eastern Continent being the source of civilization and the place where the Holy Sakaram Church flourishes, while the Western Continent was originally a wilderness until the great Eastern Divine Leader Rakis went west to preach and became civilized. These are all things that he has known for a long time, but some details can only be experienced by being there, such as the races of different regions and their cultures.

The inhabitants of the eastern and western coast city-states of Lu Gauin are almost always typical of the Mediterranean-Middle Eastern style, with high noses and deep eyes, black hair and black eyes, wheat-colored skin, and large eyebrows and eyes. It is also the most powerful and popular religion of St. Hugh Yari, with a complete and strict church system, and it also controls the military and political power of many countries, represented by the most powerful Kakistan Empire of St. Hugh. Located in the center of the Eastern Continent, Kakistan is the source of civilization of St. Hugheyar, and its capital Kurast, under the leadership of the two heads of the Pope and the Emperor, is the apostolic seat of the Church of Sakaram, the brightest and holiest city in the world. However, it seems to have smeared the Holy City, and a gladiator seed about the same size as Zhang Long came from that place. This little man from the Eastern Continent is named Haishan, and he sounds domineering, but he is an out-and-out lewd stick. He was born and raised in Kurast, but he was not exposed to the teachings of Sakaram, committed several rapes and fled to Lu Goin on an Amazonian merchant ship, and was arrested for rape and sold into slavery in Candras. This guy is quite handsome, but Zhang Long feels very much like Ashur in the American drama "Spartacus", and the appearance of a bad stomach makes him just want to stay away, but this guy is extremely well-informed, and all kinds of gossip and anecdotes are known, so it is quite necessary to communicate with him.

The native inhabitants of the three kingdoms of Sacalam in the Western Continent: Westmath, Anteystig, and Candras were typical of Western Europeans, with different hair and pupil colors, and cultures roughly corresponding to medieval France, Germany, and England on Earth, respectively. Their nemesis, the kingdom of Yveglo in the north of the Taimo Mountains in the northeast of the Western Continent, is a strange place: Indian-style weaponry, similar to the culture of Tibetan or Mongolian lamas, but the appearance and language are like the fake Russians. Yves Glo because of religion, and the three kingdoms are constantly at war, this batch of gladiator seeds is a young Yves Glo prisoner of war named Sergei, quite a handsome young man, but the mood is extremely pessimistic, every day I know to kneel in the corner with his hands folded and pray endlessly.

Then we have to mention Zhang Long's hometown of Sensai Island in Saint-Hugh Yari. There lived the same East Asian yellow race as him, but the culture was very different: the island of Xiansai was full of gates, and it was more like a gang organization in the earth society that came to the fore than a kind of government, and street fights between various families were staged every day. And the folk customs are very open, and the girls are blatantly chasing their lovers on the street for kisses. It can be said that this country only has the skin of a traditional East Asian style, but in fact it is very far from the conservative and introverted East Asian culture.

The great forests in the southern part of the Eastern Continent are the territory of the black tribes, known as the Ambaru people, who practice voodoo. That is, the place where the Witch Doctor of Dark Mile came from, and that ghost place is not only the Ambaru people, but also the extremely annoying little natives in the third act of Diablo II.

Then there are the beautiful islands in the Twin Seas, which separate the eastern and western continents: the Skovas archipelago is inhabited by matrilineal Amazonian clans. Their culture resembles a fusion of ancient Greece and the indigenous people of the South American rainforest, but as for their appearance...... Speaking of Amazons, Hai Shan tore open the conversation with a lewd face, telling Zhang Long that the Amazons have the purest blonde blood of Saint Shuarre, and the hair all over their bodies is golden, but these are not important, and the old Amazon lady who is currently escorting them is not pleasing to the eye at all.

By the way, we can't fail to mention the barbarian kingdom of the Arrett Mountains in the North. They look like the typical Celts, the traditional peoples of Ireland and Scotland, and have a similar culture, but with some elements of North American Indians and Norse Germanic peoples. In fact, this race is what he feels more familiar with, because it was the first class he had played as a dark dual.

Therefore, the best conversation between him and this group of gladiator seeds living in the same cabin is a barbarian.

The brown-haired man who looked like Hollywood star Mel Gibson was named Fekruma and came from the "Shadow Wolf" tribe, which Zhang Long knew was a barbarian tribe known for its battle axes, but the guy in front of him only used an axe to chop wood.

"Well, I ought not have been so addicted to gambling, or I would not have been sold into slavery by the creditors to the Southerners......" Fitsuma always lamented, with a sad Irish accent. Don't look at him as a tall man of more than six feet, a big man with tendons and flesh, and a bearded face, in fact, he is only in his early twenties, about the same age as Zhang Long, looking at his sincere and honest appearance, it is hard to believe that he was once a gambler.

In the end, it's the era he has traveled back to. To his surprise, it was not any of the Dark Games trilogy he was familiar with, but long before the story of the Dark Generation, the reign of Leoric, the "Blackheart King" of the Kingdom of Candras in the Western Continent, was in full swing, and the conversation with Hysan and Fetsuma made him understand a lot of historical secrets that Blizzard had omitted:

The Candras region is poor and weak, and for a long time it was largely a place where birds don't, and the glory of the ancient Hradim Brotherhood sealing Diablo was almost completely forgotten. As the Legis marched westward, they encountered only a few fierce but sporadic resistances in the southern jungles, and the other impoverished hamlets enthusiastically embraced the eastern leader who had kept the villagers fed and protected from the murderous Yvegro bandits. Lakis then arranged for priests to spread the teachings of Zakalam in Candras, and several more duchies were appointed to administer the vast and sparsely populated barren land, and continued westward until he finally conquered the westernmost rich territory of St. Hugh and established himself as king, establishing the mighty kingdom of Westermach.

Looking back at Candras, the weak principalities developed slowly under the guidance of the priests, and did little to accomplish anything other than to plant religion in the hearts of the people, and only to keep the common people from hunger and cold. At the same time, since the Guardian Wars broke out in the Westermathal kingdom and the Gastian family seized the throne due to the severance of the Lakis bloodline, there was no co-ruler in the Western Continent: Anteystig first refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Gastian royal family and was no longer subject to it, and the Duchy of Candras followed suit. As the entire Church of Kalam in the Western Continent became more secularized, the selfishness of the Candras nobles grew more and more, and armed conflicts began to break out between the principalities, which were small in scale but large enough to attract the attention of foreign enemies. As a result, the Gastian family, who had already established themselves in Westmath, the kingdom of Anteystig in the north, and the old enemies of the Yveglos were all eyeing this vast and poor land, and for a time there was an undercurrent, and the war on the Western Continent was about to break out, and the results of Lakis's western expedition were about to be destroyed. The Apostolic Majesty of Sacaram in the Eastern Continent judged the situation, and Kuihei Gang personally issued an edict appointing the pious Zacharam Paladin Lord Leoric to Candras as the governor, and at the same time sending the high priest Lazaros to the position of Archbishop of Candras, to govern the insatiable archdukes and the mediocre priests respectively. At first, the Candras were not optimistic about the black-haired governor Leorik, but he soon won the support of the common people with his devout faith and noble personality, and soon subdued the nobles with an iron fist with the support of the church in Lazarus. Under his rule, Candras prospered day by day, and in more than twenty years it grew from a poor and backward duchy to a powerful force comparable to Westermaqu, and the Apostolic Throne of Sakaram was very satisfied, and two years ago, Kuihegang issued another edict to crown Leoric as King of Candras. Since then, Leorik has worked harder and has been embraced by all the people, although some of his methods are subject to controversy, such as gladiatorial fighting.

Ever since Leorik became governor of Candras, the brutal and bloody sport of gladiatorial fighting has quietly emerged in the country. At first, it was just the underground iron cage black fist that originated in Bart City, but later, with the support of the government, an open-board arena was built in various places, so that the strongest slaves could splash blood in the yellow sand to make the people laugh. At the coronation ceremony of Leorick two years ago, star gladiators from all over the country gathered in the newly built royal capital Tristram to stage a shocking battle of ghosts and gods, and the entire St. Hugh Arry was in the spotlight, and the audience from all corners of the world almost overwhelmed Tristram, even the kingdom of Westermaqu, which was the most critical of gladiatorial sports, and the royal dignitaries all appeared on the VIP stage to watch the battle of the century!

"It is the greatest honor of a slave to be a gladiator," said Fetsuma excitedly, with a look of longing on her face, "Not to mention the bounty, once you become famous and fight a good battle, you may be given freedom by the lord, and then I will go back to the tribe and open a casino, so that my plagued creditors will lose their wealth like me!"

Zhang Long is also full of confidence: he has watched the American drama "Spartacus" many times, although he knows that the life of a gladiator is not easy, but he is a time-traveler no matter how he says it, if he is really like the protagonist of the online time-traveling novel, then he will definitely become a star gladiator, and the wine and beauty are not far away. He has already felt the first benefit brought to him by this crossing: the originally lazy and weak body has become full of strength, and the sluggish reaction has also become sharp and extraordinary, and what is even more incredible is that as long as he closes his eyes, he can feel that he is holding a spear, and he can hold a spear, a majestic thorn, pick, and sweep, which is really refreshing! Although he may not be able to become the god of the arena in one step, it will definitely not be a mediocre hand who is convenient at the beginning, and with time, Lao Tzu will definitely be able to make a name for himself on the bloody yellow sand!

He was so self-absorbed that the day of the ship was approaching day by day.

Finally, the slave ship successfully arrived in the largest seaport city in the Kingdom of Candras: Wasam. Through the porthole, Zhang Long was once again shocked by reality: the game of Wasam is just a small fishing town, but in front of him is a magnificent medieval Western European city, in the early morning sun looks so spectacular and full of vitality, you can see the spire of the Zacalam church in the center of the city, the dock is crowded, very prosperous.

"Get up and get ready to disembark!" was the second mate, Sam's voice, and the slaves were driven up by the sailors and lined up in several groups to fish out of the cabin. Zhang Long walked to the cabin door in a daze, only to find Sam waiting there, tearing off the crotch cloths of the slaves one by one.

"What's going on?" he was shocked, and turned back to ask Fitsuma in a low voice.

"Shut up, beware of the electric batons!" warns the barbarian, "all slaves brought to the market must be stripped naked, and the buyers are very picky, and only those who are not physically defective can be sold for a good price." 」

Zhang Long suddenly realized, so he had to obediently let Sam tear him naked and slip onto the deck, and just wanted to cover the bane, he was stopped by the sailor, who ordered him to put his hands behind his head and make a gesture of surrender.

Oh my God, it really looks like ancient Rome, the scene of the slave market in "Spartacus" came to mind, and his heart was sour: how did I cross so lowly!

Wait! Another scene suddenly flashed in his mind, the slave girls in the slave market in this American drama famous for meat dramas are also as naked as me!

Zhang Long felt inexplicably excited, and actually forgot the shame of being naked, and happily disembarked with the team in anticipation, and was taken to the dock slave market. There, slaves were lined up like goods in a shop window on the stands on both sides of the street to greet the buyers, waiting for an unknown fate, except for a very small number of veteran slaves who had changed hands many times, everyone was blinded and panicked, except for one exception: Zhang Long.

His attention was completely focused on the slave girls lined up across the street, he had never seen such a beautiful scene in his life, let alone being sold as slaves, it was worth dying!

This is obviously the highest quality slave market on the docks, and a large row of naked beauties of all skin tones are in full view, in the warm morning light, and he is dizzying, and his saliva is flowing: how can the voyeurism in the partition be so "high-definition", under the rules of the slave traders, the beauties are deprived of the right to cover their bodies with their hands, and they also pose in a gesture of surrender like him, shamefully displaying every inch of skin and more or less pubescent hair under the armpits between the thighs......

Zhang Long was already full of blood, snorting and panting, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind: Damn handsome and rich, do you dare to compare with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu has seen more women in one morning than you have in your whole life! Now Lao Tzu has crossed over, Lao Tzu is a gladiator! Have you ever seen "Spartacus"? As long as you win, a woman will reward you, Lao Tzu is not the bear Bao Zhang Long in the past, Lao Tzu's spear skills are comparable to Zhang Fei and Zhao Zilong! Lao Tzu wants to become the god of the arena, Lao Tzu ......

He was still intoxicated by his dreams, and the two men who decided the fate of his life were already close at this time.
