48 Hours a Day

Markus appeared again on the balcony on the second floor 49 days apart, this time with two slaves, a Persian and a Patian, waiting for him in the chair.

But Makrous didn't seem happy, because his attendance in the arena declined again for two months, and he had to increase Habitus' appearances, which slightly saved the audience, but the greedy Habitus also took the opportunity to ask him for more shares and a commitment to cultivate as a school ace.

On the other hand, Macros also heard news from the front line that the empire's new emperor, Conmood, seemed reluctant to take over the stalls left by his father, Olerio, and was preparing for meetings with the Germans, which was not good news for Macros, as prisoners of war were also an important part of his gladiator's origins, especially since high standards of gladiators were often chosen from prisoners of war, and he was now busy looking for a successor to Sisnarts, and Macros now had to put all his hopes in Bach.

It is also customary for the new emperor to hold a grand gladiator performance on his ascent, which is free of charge in order to win the pleasure of the people, in the Fravian Circular Theatre, the largest arena of the entire Roman Empire, built at the expense of the royal family, using 80,000 slaves and built over eight years to accommodate up to 90,000 spectators. Given its age, it has to be said that this arena is a miracle in the history of architecture.

But there is a arena alone, and it is obviously not possible without gladiators, the latter being the epitome of the show.

Although there is also a gladiator school in the Royal Family, it is not large enough to support a grand show, which requires several folk gladiator schools to come forward, certainly not free. After all, gladiators are well known expensive consumables, but because the show is used to win the people's hearts and minds and does not have any income per se, the cost is borne by the organizers.

And asking for money from nobility and His Majesty the Emperor is, of course, easy not to ask for money from civilians.

Without Marcus, he loses a lot. If he offends a big man, or His Majesty the Emperor himself, he will never be able to mix in Rome again. So in general, Marcus chooses a small loss, neither selling his love nor bleeding too much.

But in any case, it's a disturbing thing.

Marcus came to inspect the goods with all this mess and dissatisfaction with His Majesty the new Emperor, but he spent a lot of money on the slaves and had to know whether the money was worth it himself.

The order of battle was also drawn by drawing lots, and Gabi began organizing this assessment after a complimentary visit to Markus.

The rules of combat are similar to regular gladiator performances, except that wooden weapons are used, that each gladiator can use only one weapon in a one-on-one confrontation, that sneak attack behind the back is despicable by the audience, and that once one side admits that the other can no longer attack, there will be a trainer as a referee.

After confirming that everyone understands the rules, Gabby begins naming.

The first pair came to power as a freelance gladiator named Griff. His luck was good. The opponent was a young man who had just become a gladiator for six months. He was a little younger than his age and had not had a lot of combat experience. However, in the end, the young gladiator won, but the two had not fought for a short period of time, and there was a comeback. In the end, Griff was caught by the other side in a broken bloom, ending the battle.

Gabi commented, "Focus is not enough, it was okay for a while, but the more you think about it, and the less decisive the attack, the less determined, the more cautious it is, but sometimes the situation on the ground requires you to make a quick decision, and even the wrong decision is probably better than hesitation. ”

Griff was a little frustrated to hear this face, he knew Gabby was telling the truth because he was new, and this was the final test for deciding fate, and he inevitably missed a lot of opportunities by thinking about it and sometimes wondering if it would be a trap to see the other party reveal its flaws.

But Gabby may have had a break from fighting his opponents for so long, and eventually spit out those two words, "Qualified. ”

Griff was overwhelmed with joy, and Gabby stopped saying anything, so let him stay in the west side of the house.

And Griff was followed closely by a slave named Galata, who was a fighter with three years of combat experience, and if Griff was cautious, Galata was acting like an enemy.

The other side couldn't help but take a few steps back. His awe-inspiring performance made Gabi frown. It was good that Gaerata soon realized that his earlier move was a score reduction, but then he made another big mistake. In order to make up for his previous poor performance, he actually changed his stance and started a furry attack.

His opponent, on the other hand, acutely perceived the fracture in his attack set, neatly avoided Gelata's attack, and then placed the training sword around the latter's neck. The whole process did not take much effort, so he easily won the battle, and Gelata couldn't help but look pale.

He looked at Gabi with an almost implored gaze, but the latter did not move, using a voiceless voice, "Battle choices are bad, rough, immersive, less resilient than a pig, unqualified, east room. ”

“Please give me another chance for my hard training, I am not ready this time, next time, I will definitely not make this mistake again," Galata cried, of course he knows what the east house means, especially since he is not a free man like Griff, and will have to dig without passing the assessment.

“But death never gives you a second chance, son.” Gabi Coldway, and then he gave a look, and two trainers pulled Gaetala, who had almost collapsed on the floor.

And Markus on the second floor didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, eating a fig fruit stripped to him by a slave from his side.

He didn't have much interest in previous fights. So many people down there, all he really cared about was Bach, because now that he had reached the deadline he had agreed to before and Gabi, he wanted to see how Sisnates' successor was being cultivated by Gabi, but Bach's fights were well arranged and Marcus had to wait.

Galata was dragged down and Gabi opened his mouth again.

“Zhang Heng, Garba, it's your turn. ”
