Chapter 768: Free Lunch

“Habitus, he can't be the Ace of Victor Arena.” Old Persian trainer shook his head, "I told Gabi that his potential had reached its full potential, and now it's his limit. ”

“Is his potential at its top, or are you unwilling to go on?” Zhang Heng asked.

Old Persian trainer smiled cunningly and asked, "What's the difference? ”

“Oh, I knew it. ”

“It's not our fault," the old trainer said, “but this time it was my fault, we had agreed to get everything he needed, but then he suddenly regretted it. ”

“You want me to believe that Habitus broke the contract between himself and an ancient assassin organization, why, is he suspicious of his life? ”

“Although we are an assassin organization, we act more principled than the vast majority of self-righteous people in the world, do not kill innocents indiscriminately, and there is no contract strictly between us and Habitus.” The old trainer was helpless.

“I see, you throw the bait, convince him that you can really help him improve his fighting skills, and then he eats the bait, learns the footsteps from you, but doesn't intend to hook up, it's a smart practice... Now the question is, why would you believe I would hook up if you chose me as a replacement for Habitus? Got me some more bait. ”

Because hot air has been vaporizing in the hot tub, Zhang Heng is now covered in sweat. The same is true of the old Persian trainer across the street, who opens his mouth.

“This time there's no bait, and I'm not going to use you as a replacement for Habitus, because Habitus wasn't the best fit for us from the start, but we just couldn't find someone else to choose from. ”

“What do you mean, you're going to empty gloves, White Wolf? ”

“No, I would like to invite you to join us, not as a peripheral of a cooperative relationship as Habitus, I mean to be a true core member, or, more precisely, to be my successor by adding you to the study list of new core members, because, as I said before, we are a very ancient organization with our own principles and traditions, we have very few core members, and only when the elderly retire is able to absorb new blood, and we need to pass tests. ”

The old trainer paused, "Don't bother to say no. Tell me what you want most right now. ”

“My freedom? ”

“If you pass the test and become one of us, you will be free.” The old trainer promised.

“And my friend's freedom? ”

“The slave named Varo, I sympathize with what happened to him, which is not difficult for us. ”

“30,000 Célestas? ”

This time the old trainer hesitated, "Well... although we can get the money, it's not a rule, but I can promise to come down first, and if you really pass the test, I can make it up to you personally. ”

“I don't see how rich you are, and... when I'm free, I'm going to the Senate.” Zhang Heng opened the last condition.

The old trainer shook his head as soon as he heard the phrase, “It's impossible, although our organization does have a lot of powerful allies politically, but making a newly liberated slave such an absurd thing as an elder..." He just said here that he suddenly stopped and suddenly realized, "You don't really want to go to the Senate, you just wanted to see how powerful we are, if that's the case, you'd be disappointed, like I said, we don't have a lot of core members and mainly civilians that can't affect the daily functioning of the Senate. ”

“That would be too bad.” Zhang Hengdao, "because I can get freedom on my own, 30,000 Célestas sounds a lot, but if I want to make money, it's not unprofitable, only the Senate seems to have a little meaning, but you can't do it either. ”

“You can be free with your strength, but it will take up to three years.” The old trainer said, "The average newcomer doesn't have a lot of performance opportunities at first, we can help you with this problem, and when the time is right, I can get you out of here together, and in addition to those conditions, I can teach you how to fight. ”

“I know how to fight. ”

“Yes, but what you know is how warriors fight, and I can teach you how assassins fight, and we turn killing into an art, and it's not easy to do it, but once you do it, it takes a life.” The old trainer looked to Zhang Heng, "What do you think, the pace I taught Habitus was just the most basic entrance color, and the real great skills were only accessible to the core members. ”

It has to be admitted that the last proposal of the old trainer was quite moving.

So far, Zhang Heng has gained a lot from the nine rounds of replicas of the main line. Second, the skill is the most valuable part of what only takes a lot of time to learn. However, if this round of replicas is just about learning how to fight and train gladiators, it is not much better for Zhang Heng.

After all, his knife has reached lv4, and his combat experience has accumulated long enough in a 10-year copy of Blacksail, and now he can walk across the arena.

By contrast, the assassin's fighting skills are more valuable to him.

As for the fact that the old trainer said that it would take three years to get free, Zhang Hengfa was not very concerned. He admitted that he did not think that it would take such a long time to get free from the gladiator at first. Of course, the teacher said that it was only normal. In fact, there was also a special situation, which was to defeat the seemingly invincible opponent, so that the entire arena audience cheered for you and unanimously demanded that you be free. At this time, even the master of the gladiator school had no way to refuse, because the ancient Romans were still heavy on the people, at least when they were on the stage.

In addition to not wanting to be Marcus' rocking money tree, Zhang Heng hid his strength before, in order to get ready quickly through this method. Of course, if the old trainer had a way to get him out of the gladiator school, Zhang Heng wouldn't object. After all, there was an easy way he wouldn't deliberately get himself into trouble.

However, Zhang Heng also knows the truth that there is never a free lunch in the world.

The old trainer obviously hid something from him, such as what he had been working with Habitus before, why the talks had collapsed, why the old trainer was here, I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as what he said was just Gabi's invitation, and what the so-called test of becoming a core member was.

Zhang Heng did not ask, because he knew that the question was inconclusive. At least for now, both sides have value for each other, and Zhang Heng has one of the biggest advantages: he doesn't have to think about the future. After all, this is only a copy world for him. Even with the extra time, a year and a half later, he patted P shares and left.

That's why the gladiator swore so much pleasure before him. As long as it wasn't immediately dangerous, he could all promise first, so Zhang Hengdao said, "What do you need me to do? ”
