v3 Chapter 131: do not fight (1/2)
The two gladiators in the same room didn't know when they were awake, anyway, when Zhang Heng returned to the house, they were already gone, and it was not until they were completely dark that they went back into the door, and they were still alive.
In fact, their choice is not difficult to understand. Although the gladiator school constantly has slave gladiators such as Sisnastus and Garba, they are always a small part of the slave gladiators. , More people finally died in the arena.
Although the mortality rate of gladiators has decreased significantly compared to BC, the average age of 25 is still a lot to explain. If you do n’t do it in time, it ’s probably too late to do it tomorrow, not to mention they also Just carnival this day.
After a while, Varo also returned from the training ground, talked briefly with Zhang Heng, and went to bed each.
…………
Late at night, the entire Roman city was quiet from the hustle and bustle.
Except for the occasional Domus and shrines with oil lamps, most places were in darkness.
Zhang Heng also closed his eyes and soon went to sleep, until someone pushed his body, Zhang Heng opened his eyes and saw the face of the old Persian trainer, who was standing in front of his bed. He gave him a gesture to go out, and then he walked out of the room. Zhang Heng put on sandals, followed the old trainer, passed the sleeping three in the house, and came to the outside yard.
At least for now, the previous story of the other party is not made up.
Zhang Heng has experienced so many rounds, many of which are perilous. This has also made him a habit of staying alert while sleeping. Generally speaking, the sound of someone moving something will make him wake up from his sleep. Yes, of course this ability may not be as good as it was before the gladiator quarters with purrs everywhere, but the old trainer can explain a lot of problems before he unknowingly comes to his bed.
If the other party is killing him, he is likely to be in a different place.
So ... Is this the way to fight assassins?
Zhang Heng saw the figure of the old trainer turn into a small training ground in front, so he followed up, but when he entered the training ground, he did not see the figure of the old trainer inside.
There is no more daytime excitement on the training ground, and the entire training ground is empty. But soon, Zhang Heng's heart gave birth to a sense of alertness. Something came behind him. Although the other party ’s movement was very light, almost Nothing brings up any airflow.
But Zhang Heng's rich combat experience still played a role at this time. He twisted his body and let the blow pass at the last moment, and also saw that the thing that attacked him was a small wooden dagger.
The old trainer was also surprised to see Zhang Heng flash this blow.
Including silently coming to Zhang Heng's bed before and disappearing, he originally intended to make Zhang Heng intuitively feel the power of the assassin in this way, but he did not expect to end up at the end, but he knew Zhang Heng concealed his strength in the final assessment before, but he did not expect the latter to hide so much strength.
Coupled with his age, his skill has indeed fallen a lot compared to when he was younger.
No one can fight against the greatest enemy of time, whether it is an assassin or a gladiator. As his age increases, his physical quality is indeed not as good as forgetting the past. As a perennial and death companion, he can clearly feel the aging of his body. I also feel more and more about what it feels like to be weak.
Zhang Heng on the other side had already distanced himself from the old trainer at this time. He looked around and was looking for a weapon. However, the next moment the old trainer gave up the attack and turned to run outside the training ground.
Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to catch up, but went to the room where the weapons were stored. Of course, he could also see that the old trainer was not malicious to him, so he only took a wooden training sword.
