Bai Shi Zhang: The Shade of Prosperity

Although Aginara is a woman, she is not ambiguous at all. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 After the welcome ceremony, she immediately commanded her soldiers to arrange a residence for the Wessam team in the arena, showing a very strict and decisive style, according to the identity of the guests, the room was assigned by two: Hasrab, as the overseer, naturally wanted to give a suite, not only that, but also specially arranged for an arena slave girl to serve closely; although Iresa was nominally a blacksmith with the team, he was a real nobleman, and he was the leader of the blacksmith guild in the entire Candras region, so naturally she couldn't afford to be lazy, and also arranged a suite, and a blacksmith workshop close to the arena was arranged to facilitate her workThe accompanying soldiers arranged dormitories in the vicinity of Haslaber's suite on a four-person basis.

As for the gladiators, although they were only slaves in status and had the lowest status, they were the real protagonists of the next few days, and they did not dare to be careless in the accommodation allocated to them: the captain, that is, the Wassam champion Credrow, as the core of the case, was also arranged to live in a suite with the two slave girls of the Makqin family, and the other six gladiators were arranged in a large spacious dormitory, with whom Suina and Lodge, as well as the two slaves of the Powell family who followed the less existential Sardner, also lived with them to take care of their daily life。 For such an arrangement, Fiquema is naturally a little displeased, but there is no way, who makes the championship not him?

To Zhang Long's surprise, the overall style of the Bart City Axe Guards actually gave him a very familiar feeling, but he didn't know where it came from. They were armed with small hand axes and small round shields made entirely of steel, and wore light metal helmets on their heads, and their torsos were clad in chain armor and dark red robes. The overall feeling is very low-key, but also a little mysterious. However, he couldn't remember where this familiarity came from for a while, so he didn't think about it for the time being......

Fortunately, the accommodation environment is much stronger than expected, and it seems that the Grand Duke still attaches more importance to this league. Originally, seeing the bleak and miserable scene in the city area of Barth, Zhang Long thought that they might live in a worse place than the stable, but he didn't expect that this big dormitory was cleaned quite clean, the beds were also very comfortable, and there was not a single cockroach in the house, although it was much more shabby than in Vosam, but ...... If you let the people of Bart City outside know, it must be all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, right?

Zhang Longzheng was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard Aguinara exclaim softly, "Rocky, why are you!"

Looking up, he saw that Rocky had just put down his luggage, taking off the hood of his cloak to reveal his extremely beautiful face, and Aguinara was looking at him with some surprise.

"Good day, Lord Lady. Rocky smiled sweetly and curtsy, more than many real women. Aginara patted him hard on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you in the iron cage, and I don't know who to bet on to win!

Several of her soldiers also recognized Rocky, and Hula surrounded them, all kinds of ridicule, laughter and scolding, as if they were all Rocky's hardcore spectators. Rocky was a little overwhelmed, and his smiling face was almost frozen before he found an opportunity to spread his hands and replied, "No way, the master didn't send me over, and I couldn't come myself...... Actually...... It's okay if it's too angry, the odds will definitely come back next time you play, and you can win big again. 」

"Hahahaha, that's right!" Aginara laughed heartily, "I know that you must win, and you won't get anything, so let Esenhard hide you for a few more days!" She reached out and rubbed the top of Rocky's head vigorously, her eyes shining greedily, "Sisters and brothers are all pointing at you!"

Seeing her current virtue, it is really difficult to associate with the dignified female officer at the welcome ceremony, it seems that everyone is very complicated...... Zhang Long sighed with emotion, Rocky had been taken out by Aginara and his party, and he didn't come back until dinner was sent by the odd slaves in the arena......

Seriously, the standard of this dinner was really not good, and it was not even as good as the daily diet at the training ground. But from the envious eyes of the miscellaneous slaves who delivered the meal, it can be seen that this is already a rare delicacy in Bart City. Seeing the brothers around him frowning, Zhang Long couldn't help but shake his head: People have really done their best, look at the poor people in the city, it's not as good as us slaves......

Thinking about it, Zhang Long's thinking flew 108,000 miles again, and it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a poor place as Bart City. The worst place he'd ever traversed before was the slums of the imperial capital: dark corners hidden behind the majestic high-rises that lined the streets. When he was in college, he accompanied a bad friend to buy a "little movie", and the guy led him to the downstairs of the bustling computer city with a mysterious and obscene smile, and he was connected to the head of an unkempt, beggar-looking peasant woman who was breastfeeding her baby in her arms like a spy on the side of the street. Then, the peasant woman led them through the narrow alleys between the computer city buildings, and into the slums behind the buildings. At that time, Zhang Long couldn't help but gasp, he couldn't believe that there was such a miserable place in the imperial capital!

It was an illegal building built by an insatiable landlord with broken bricks and tiles between the old residential buildings that had almost become dilapidated houses, and many poor people like this peasant woman were rented, who were unkempt and spoke with various foreign accents. The peasant woman led them into a dark room, and under the dim light bulb, a dirty, torn cardboard box was found full of illegally burned "little movie" CDs. Zhang Long just looked at the brother and flipped through it excitedly, and finally picked a few covers with the hottest ones and bought them, and left that place as if he had fled......

Since then, Zhang Long has learned that there is often something else hidden behind the prosperity. At this point, he saw a more cruel reality in Bart City: it seemed that the Kingdom of Candras was thriving, but he was greatly ironized by Bart City. King Leorik used large-scale gladiatorial events to show his national strength, and in the eyes of a discerning person, the unclothed civilian girl in Bart City could slap the royal family who whitewashed the peace!

Between mixed feelings, Zhang Long unconsciously ate the food in front of him. He sighed silently, put down his knife and fork, walked out of the dormitory, and went to the cloister of the arena, looking out at the twilight through the narrow window, and fell into deep thought again. Suddenly, a weak female voice behind him interrupted his thoughts: "Zhang Long...... What are you doing here......

It's Suina. Zhang Long hurriedly turned around and saw Black Pearl standing there pitifully, his mind was still a little trance, so he replied in a daze, "Uh...... I'm not in a good mood, so I came out to breathe......

"Don't leave me, okay...... It's the first time I've lived in a room with so many men, and I'm scared......" Suina bit her lip tightly, tears in her eyes.

Zhang Long suddenly realized, yes, a whole room of rude and reckless men, although there are many brothers in his own family, a lonely weak girl will also be afraid...... He said with some guilt, "I'm sorry...... So...... Shall we go back together?"

"No......" Suina shook her head slowly, "Let's talk here......

The two looked out the window and chatted softly for a long time. As the twilight deepened, the sound of curfew was heard in the street outside, and Aginara patrolled the cloisters with a few of the Axe Guards.

"Aha, you two are here!" The female officer's hearty laughter startled the two of them, and she hurriedly turned around and saluted her. Aginara waved her hand and said, "Alright, you are blessed, Rocky specifically begged me to arrange a private room for the two of you...... Come with me!"

Belch...... I didn't expect Rocky to have such a big face in Bart City! The two were slightly embarrassed, but each followed the baroness with surprise and walked deeper into the cloister.
