Chapter 213: The Colosseum (1)

Xie Minyun's 21/22 café is right in the center of Rome, just two or three kilometers away from the Colosseum, and less than a 10-minute walk. Therefore, Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun did not need to take a taxi, and the two of them walked along the quiet Roman streets towards the Colosseum.

Although the district was founded in the 15th century and is considered young in ancient Roman history, it is rich in history for Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, with cobblestone streets and buildings in the classical Renaissance style as far as the eye can see, with yellow brick walls, jutting balconies, neatly built Italian pines and cypresses, and plane trees and peach trees on the roadside.

Unfortunately, the time was wrong, the peach tree had only bare branches, and it looked very cold under the orange-yellow street lamp, and the leaves on the plane tree were almost gone, and only some fluffy cones and reddish leaves were still slow to fall.

Soon Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun walked to the vicinity of the Colosseum, and could see the magnificent building under the lights, Cheng Mo turned his head to look at the Colosseum in the night, even if it was dilapidated after the baptism of the years, but Cheng Mo could still see its former majesty from the gray-yellow travertine full of holes, thinking that he was about to see its full appearance later, Cheng Mo was a little excited.

Xie Minyun seemed to see through Cheng Mo's thoughts, and said softly: "The place where the Colosseum ruins are more special, it is not a restoration of the ancient Roman Colosseum, but a... A modern arena in the style of ancient Roman architecture. After a slight pause, Xie Minyun added: "But its appearance should be historical." ”

Hearing Xie Minyun's words, Cheng Mo felt a little regretful, as far as he was concerned, he still hoped that the Colosseum could completely restore the style of the time like other ruins, but this regret was far from disappointing, he looked at the Colosseum and said: "It's good to see some, and you can't ask too much." ”

"Actually, it's not bad, you can still see some ancient Roman buildings when you go in, but unfortunately we have a limited range of activities, and we can't go deeper, otherwise we can also experience the public baths of ancient Rome......"

"Hmm..... Is the toilet in the Colosseum an ancient Roman toilet? or is it .......?"

Xie Minyun chuckled: "I was also concerned about this issue when I went in for the first time, so even if the carrier did not have a requirement to go to the bathroom, I also went to take a look, in my opinion, the bathroom in the Colosseum should be in the style of ancient Rome, but the materials used are much more exquisite, not popular at all, maybe the bathroom of the ancient Roman royal family should be like this...... But it can be regarded as a reference value....."

"Then I'll take a tour later. ”

Xie Minyun nodded, then pointed to the west side of the Colosseum and said, "The entrance is at the Arch of Constantine, do you want to wear a mask?"

"There's a lot of people in there?"

"Well, I chose to come here today because I had a heavyweight match to watch today. ”

"What kind of game?" Cheng Mo asked with some surprise, "Isn't it difficult to see the battle of masters under normal circumstances?" Cheng Mo has always wanted to watch the actual battle of the master on the Chosen One forum, but generally there is only a text review, no live video, and no video recording, because most masters will not open the game to watch the game in order not to let themselves be studied by their opponents, let alone allow the game to be recorded.

"Joseph Arman, ranked 31st, faces Prince Aldeo, ranked 39th, one of them is the heir of the Arman family, the master behind the largest luxury empire, LVMH, and the other is the Belgian prince and permanent director of the Rosicrucian. Xie Minyun whispered, "Under normal circumstances, master battles are indeed rarely open to watching, but there is a conflict between Joseph Arman and Aldeo, so this battle not only chose the deathmatch mode, but also gambled on precious props......."

"Deathmatch mode is a mode that directly deducts experience points to relegation if you lose?"

"Yes, the general Chosen One PK will not choose deathmatch, unless there is a grudge that cannot be resolved, or the level gap between the two parties is too large, and the weak side bets on high experience points and contribution points, precious props, and skills....."

At this time, the two had gone around to the west side of the Colosseum, and they could see the Arch of Constantine standing in the light, as well as the Italian policemen surrounding it, Cheng Mo thought that although there were few people who knew him as a nobody, he often regarded the carrier as the body, and it was not good in case it was seen, he guessed that Xie Minyun also took this into account before asking, Cheng Mo hesitated a little and said: "Since there are many people, I still put on the mask." Is it just that the police won't be able to do it?"

"No, they'll only check your Chosen One. Saying that, Xie Minyun also took out a white mask from his pocket and put it on his face.

The two men walked towards the Arch of Constantine and soon arrived at the cordon set up by the Italian police, which was behind a line of defense consisting of more than a dozen explosion-proof armored vehicles. As soon as Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun approached, they were stopped by two Italian policemen wearing big-brimmed hats and red and black cloaks, one of whom warned in English: "Excuse me, please don't get close, if you want to visit, please wait until tomorrow." ”

Xie Minyun took out the pass from his jacket pocket and showed it to the other party, the other party took it and swept it with a detector, and immediately returned it to Xie Minyun, and then the police immediately looked at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo also took out his pass for the other party to review, and then passed through the blocked defense line with Xie Minyun, preparing to enter the Arch of Constantine, which was surrounded by an iron fence. Seeing that there seemed to be only the two of them near the huge Arch of Constantine who wanted to enter the Colosseum, Cheng Mo asked with some doubts: "How do you feel that there is no one?"

"In addition to the Arch of Constantine, there are also the Arch of Titus, the Arc of Augustus and the Arc de Triomphe of Sevinus in the Roman Forum to enter the Colosseum, and many of the Chosen One who are keen on playing qualifying have set the activation point in the Colosseum, which will be more convenient....."

"No wonder. Cheng Mo sorted out his mask again, looked up at the Arch of Constantine, which was basically the same as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and walked through the prototype building of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with Xie Minyun.

At the moment when he was about to walk out of the triumphal arch of Constantine, Cheng Mo's eyes suddenly darkened, this kind of emotion Cheng Mo had experienced many times, like blinking his eyes fiercely, he looked at the ancient Roman Colosseum, and suddenly found that the dilapidated Colosseum that originally stood there had disappeared, and there was only a brilliant building with lights under the bright moonlight.

It didn't look like a gymnasium or an arena at all, but rather a magnificent round fortress, but much more imposing than the fortress, not only because of its size, the materials made of giant white travertine stones, but also because of the rows of circular arches with countless sculptures of golden metal swords. Such a sculpture wearing a hooded cloak was familiar to Cheng Mo, he had seen it when he first landed on the Chosen One system, and he had seen it when he entered the Pantheon later......

Seeing Cheng Mo staring at the statue in the arch of the Colosseum, Xie Minyun opened his mouth and said: "Those statues have names engraved under them, and the gods of all dynasties have a place here, and the current statues of the twelve gods stand inside the Colosseum, in addition, there is a golden statue as high as the Colosseum at the entrance of the main entrance to the east, which is the only statue in the Colosseum without a name......"

"Take a look. Cheng Mo said.

Xie Minyun let out an "um" and walked towards the main entrance of the Colosseum with Cheng Mo.
