As a result, he still didn't enter the temple, Zhou Zhongmou left those majestic temples, what he needed now was a place to stay - the local mercenary union was estimated to be able to help him solve this problem.

Along the way, he asked a few of the locals where the mercenary union was, and then followed the path they had pointed out to find the mercenary union. As soon as he saw the mercenary union, he was immediately shocked - "Isn't this the Colosseum? Speaking of which, I have never been to Rome on earth, that is, I have seen pictures of the Colosseum on TV and the Internet." While thinking about this, Zhou Zhongmou had already walked in front of the large Colosseum-shaped circular building.

The top of the tall building is almost 70 meters high, and the diameter of the circle is almost 200 meters long, which is almost in line with the golden ratio. "Even in another world, the golden section still exists - this is the beauty of mathematics. But the level of mathematics in this ghost world is actually the level of junior high school......." Zhou Zhongmou circled around this building, and found that this was really the location of the mercenary union in this city. These guys invested a lot of money to buy the land here a long time ago, and this huge Colosseum was built about two hundred years ago with a lot of gold coins and more than ten years, as the location of the mercenary guild, it also regularly holds various large-scale gladiatorial competitions and auctions, as for small gladiatorial fights and even public duels are almost every day, even if the ticket price is low, it also earns a huge income for the mercenary union. And the other trades that the gladiatorial arena brought with it, such as weapons, armor, and all kinds of groceries, as well as lodging and food, also had their place in this huge building.

As a mercenary qualification, Zhou Zhongmou rented an apartment outside the Colosseum at a relatively favorable price. Commerce in the city is so developed that those small, privately owned, single-family homes become a very luxurious treat. The vast majority of the city's citizens live in apartments ranging from three to six floors, which is normal in Zhou Zhongmou's eyes, but it is rare to see such habits in the kingdom, even in Sarajevo, the royal capital.

It was a three-storey apartment, the property of the mercenary union, which had long since degenerated into some kind of real estate merchant, who owned the small half of the city centered on the Colosseum, where they built many multi-storey apartments, small squares and fountains, as well as various shops and public baths, and even a theater. Standing on the small balcony on the third floor of the apartment he had just rented, Zhou Zhongmou sighed: "This place is really similar to ancient Rome, I must try the public bathroom later!"

The public baths are connected to the theatre, and they are so large that they don't charge a lot of admission—they're almost free compared to the amenities inside, which cost only ten copper coins. An ordinary citizen, even if he sits on the street and asks for food, has enough money to go to the bathroom and wash it at the end of the day...... In addition to the basic bath in the bathroom, other services are added to the cost, but in addition to the ** child prostitution in it is more expensive, the others are not expensive. Zhou Zhongmou immediately fell into the abyss of ancient Roman hedonism, and the gold coins in his pocket were flowing out in an uproar.

Fortunately, there is the Colosseum, and as long as you have bravery, you can always make some money in it. Gambling gladiatorial fights were the fastest and easiest way to make money, and Zhou Zhongmou bet on himself every time - the warriors who participated in the gladiatorial fights could only bet on their own side, and then stepped into the gladiatorial arena covered with fine yellow sand to fight a variety of opponents. The Colosseum is usually divided into several different gladiatorial arenas, and it is only during the annual Grand Gladiatorial Festival that the partitions are removed and a large gladiatorial battle is held that encompasses the entire venue. The world has the technology of magic, so it can accommodate far more spectators than similar buildings on Earth, and many rooms that are not suitable for direct viewing of gladiatorial fights are inlaid with huge mirrors that can be broadcast live - the cost of using these mirrors is really high, but the mercenary guild does not charge even a single copper coin more for the audience in the room.

Zhou Zhongmou started from crowding in the crowd to place bets, gambling won and lost, but Zhou Zhongmou's gambling luck was not very good, basically there were more losses. Gambling losses, unscrupulous activities in the bathroom, various food consumption points, as for the rent, it is a negligible ten silver coins a month, but after combining the above loser activities, Zhou Zhongmou finally found that he only had the last silver coin left......... Therefore, he had to embark on the road of gladiatorial fighting on his own.

In fact, he had long wanted to try it, and if he joined the gladiatorial battle with the freedmen as a free mercenary, he could choose his opponent according to his own strength - although the commission for doing so was really not high, far less than the bounty that could be obtained from the battle arranged by the organizer. But this victory is a safe and stable income - not to lose a small life lightly, and it is not easy to have to spend the appearance fee on medical expenses because of the loss, and it is also possible to win a little bit of the bet and the bounty obtained after the victory. It's a pity that goblins aren't on the battle list...... The lowest opponents also start with the Great Goblin.

The Colosseum does not guarantee the lives of the two sides, but if the two sides have signed a normal gladiatorial fight, the mercenary guild security guards who watch the arena will usually separate the two sides and declare victory when one side is clearly defeated, even when humans are fighting monsters or monsters. It's just that most of the battles between humans and beasts are deathmatches, at most they only ensure that the lives of the human side are not suspended, and unless it is a high-level Warcraft bought at a high price, the lives of the Warcraft are not guaranteed. The mercenary union does not discriminate against inhuman races, many of the inhuman races who fight in this Colosseum are willing to fight, and those who really participate in the death match are some captured criminals. But this does not guarantee the safety of gladiatorial fights, casualties in the arena are still very common, injuries almost always occur, and death is not low in ordinary gladiatorial fights - not every separation is so timely.

And Zhou Zhongmou's first opponent was, of course, his designation - it was a team of six goblins, these six guys were habitual criminals who blocked the road and robbed, and were captured and thrown into the Colosseum. As a slut, Zhou Zhongmou originally wanted to designate a big goblin - but unfortunately it is difficult to fake in the strength test and the appearance fee and wager bonus against a big goblin are too low, this qiē is even more obvious when he is judged to be a bronze warrior, as a bronze warrior, if he has the face to only fight against a black iron middle goblin regardless of the rules, the appearance fee is not a penny, and the bonus is not allowed, and he is not allowed to bet on himself- But such a fight is generally not willing to be bet on. In the end, according to the judgment of the organizer, Zhou Zhongmou specified that the race to be fought was a big goblin, so the organizer specified the number. The six-headed goblin is believed to be able to create a stalemate in the battle with the Bronze Warriors, thus making the gladiatorial fight suspenseful.

When choosing weapons, in addition to the long sword in his hand, Zhou Zhongmou took the wooden shield provided by the organizer for free, and the leather armor on his body was still Zhou Zhongmou's own. The goblins on the opposite side were heavily armed, all dressed in chain mail and holding spears, hammers, broadswords and shields, and even a goblin with a bow and arrow.
