v3 Chapter 102: slave (2/2)
”But I have never learned to fight,” Varo said, ”It's ridiculous. Obviously, I can use my business skills to bring more wealth, but they want me to go to the Gladiator School to torture, this is to make The dust of the pearl is a waste. ”
”Oh, if all you say is true, maybe you should talk to the host here.” Zhang Heng suggested.
”I tried. I told the supervisor about my situation and asked him to tell the master here.” Varo said.
”and then?”
然后 ”Then ... there is no news until now.” Varo put down the rag in his hand and hesitated, ”Maybe I should go directly to the host, what do you think?”
Zhang Heng did not answer this question in a hurry, but asked, ”You said that you were a merchant before, why was it sold?”
”Don't mention it,” Varo sighed. ”Originally I was selling antiques. This business has been doing since my father's time. Our family made a lot of money from it, but then I lost my mind and listened to one. A friend said that the linen business in Egypt is very good. I discussed with a noble over there to grow linen. He gave the land, I paid for it, weaved it into cloth, and sold it to Rome. As a result, my friend was robbed as soon as he was on the road. People and money are gone, and what ’s worse is that I signed a contract with the other party. If he did n’t get the money within the stipulated time, I would need to pay him a large liquidated damages. I did my best but still I didn't get enough money, so not only did I lose all my property, but I became a slave. ”
”Okay ~~ It's a regrettable story.” Zhang Hengdao.
At this time, a deafening applause sounded. It should be that the gladiatorial performance has reached a wonderful place, arousing the emotions of the audience in the stands.
And Varo also made up his mind at this time, ”Tomorrow, when those Germanic barbarians are escorted over, everyone will be summoned. At that time, the master should also show up. I can find him at that time and ask him to do business. If things go well, I can leave here at that time. ”
”Really, I wish you good luck.” Zhang Hengdao.
”Sorry, I can't help you.” Varo was a little embarrassed. He just described the Gladiator School as horrible, but turned his feet to jump out of this quagmire, but left Zhang Heng there. Although they were two I did n’t have any friendship at all. I just knew each other for a long time. I ca n’t talk about friends, not even acquaintances.
But after the previous conversation, the relationship between the two really got closer, but Varrow is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself, and he can't care about his companion, Zhang Heng.
”It doesn't matter, just tell me when you are free.” Zhang Hengdao, after listening to Varo's story, he is not optimistic about the success of the other party's actions tomorrow, but he also knows that Varo just saw hope now It is difficult for anyone to convince him to give up the idea of escaping the gladiator school.
