Chapter 785: The Red Nose Blacksmith Shop

Zhang Heng did not know that the interior of the blade of equilibrium had diverged as to whether or not to accept him.

And of course, he wasn't too concerned about it, and now he's finally on the streets of ancient Rome, and he can see for himself what this ancient empire looks like.

There are many similarities between ancient Rome and modern society, such as the stunning urban drainage systems (some of which can continue to be used even in modern times), and the outstanding architectural contributions that many may not have been able to imagine in the first century AD, when the city of Rome already had a demographic explosion and undersupply of land, and they had to build many high-rise buildings in order to solve the housing problem.

The most famous of these is a building called the Happiness Building, which Zhang Heng can see now, because it is ten stories tall, and the height in future generations' homes is not short, so it is hard to imagine how people living on the top floor would go up and down every day without an elevator.

It's like an Oriental Pearl TV tower in Rome, standing in the middle of the city.

Of course, such a tall happiness building is only exceptional, compared to the apartment buildings inhabited by roadside civilians, but it is also generally four or five stories tall, because every additional floor can charge a lot of extra rent, so the owner of the apartment is extremely enthusiastic about building, but naturally there are great security risks.

First, the stability of the building itself is certainly not comparable to the reinforced concrete structure of future generations, so it is often heard that which building collapsed again, buried can only think of itself as bad luck, there is no fire escape in this era, people living on high floors in the event of fire, so the gap between the rich and poor in apartment buildings like this is also obvious, the poorer the living on top, on the contrary, the more often the economic conditions are good people, in order to limit greedy landlords constantly building, the Empire even has to promulgate corresponding laws to limit the building height.

Beyond that, once the building is taller, the phenomenon of high altitude parabola becomes even more serious. Zhang Heng walks down the street and sees someone dump the garbage directly from the top floor, but at Zhang Heng's hands, he will not be hit by the garbage.

Besides that, Zhang Heng also encountered a group of kids who were teaching on the side of the road. This is how the primary school in Rome studied directly in the street. People walked around, the dust rolled, with the hoarseness of donkeys and the noise of the hawker.

Here, teachers teach basic dictation and numeracy, after which the vast majority of children in civilian families start working early to earn money, and only rich and aristocratic children continue their education.

Relax, the literacy rate in ancient Rome is good, much higher than it was in earlier times, and of course, even so illiteracy remains the mainstay of society.

Zhang Heng questioned the two locals, then continued along the street, came to Probes Bridge shortly after, passing this bridge to the south of the river Tiber, the river that crosses Rome City, because of the more sediment, the water of the river Tiber will also show golden yellow in the afternoon sun, with the tongue on both sides of the river bank, but there is no sight.

Zhang Heng walked across the Probes Bridge and finally saw the end of his trip.

- The red-nosed blacksmith shop, in the building on the south bank of the river, where, according to the character panel, the game props he brought in this copy were deposited.

Zhang Heng walked into the blacksmith's shop and saw the blacksmith who was building a short sword inside. The latter was a black man with a huge body, focused on the work at hand, and didn't look back when he heard the footsteps behind him.

So Zhang Heng probed and said, "Vulcan. ”

Vulcan is the god of fire in Roman mythology, Venus' husband, and the player's password to retrieve props.

However, when Zhang Heng said the name, the black blacksmith did not react. Zhang Heng waited patiently for about five minutes. When the other party finished polishing the sword blade, he stood up from the position. Zhang Heng only found the other party's height was high, and the eyewitness had passed by two meters and two, and he was a real giant.

“You're counting.” Negro Blacksmith said, "Someone deposited something with me two months ago, saying you could pick it up anytime after, but I didn't expect to wait that long. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the inner house, hugging a package for a moment.

Zhang Heng knew from a look at the packaging that it was his own, because there was also a logo of the Game Organizing Committee on the packaging, but he went into the country and used the dye most commonly used in Rome today.

Zhang Heng opened the package, took out a few of the items that this copy could use, and then put the rest of the items back in the package. Ask the black blacksmith, "Do you still have storage here? ”

“Yes.” The black blacksmith nodded, "but paid, two days at a time. ”

The price is not low, but Zhang Henggang made a fortune through the twelve-man battle. Even if his head was taken away by the gladiator school, he still had some money left. He finally stopped emptying his hands. He immediately grabbed a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to the black blacksmith. "This is a 200-day deposit, save it for me. ”

The black blacksmith got the golden color on his face, and he was puzzled, "You don't know me, it's the first time you've come to my blacksmith shop. Why do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid I'll sell your stuff secretly? ”

“This is a good question.” Zhang Hengdao, "but it's good to see that people are always very accurate. ”

Zhang Heng certainly doesn't believe in other people's types when he first meets them. He doesn't believe in black blacksmiths, he believes in the Game Organizing Committee. Since the Game Organizing Committee keeps his personal props here, it means that the safety of things stored here is the highest. Zhang Heng is also lazy to change places.

After paying, he left the red-nosed blacksmith shop, and now he finally regains his full strength and gives him more initiative.

Zhang Heng was about to take a look at the temple, but suddenly he stopped.

Because he found out that the people who were following him appeared again. Before Zhang Heng thought it was Marcus who was worried about him running away and sending someone to follow him secretly, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, because Zhang Heng noticed where they were drumming up in their waist, it seems that they weren't idle, and somehow they got weapons, which means that once they find the right place, they will be ready to do it.

Zhang Heng is now of great value to Marcruz, who needs him to sell tickets to earn money and win the martial arts show more than a month later, so this group can't be sent by Marcruz.
