The World of Deities
Chapter 313: God's Gift of the Game
The First Academy applauded Su Ye like a hero.
Such an amazing person is rare.
The last person who was shouted this way by the audience has not gotten out of bed for ten years.
Aristotle did not dare to play like this back then.
However, the gladiators did not understand, what exactly did those spectators spend to scold Su Ye?
Out of the gate of life and death, Julius personally greeted him with a smile.
"Su Ye, well done! The academy has determined that you will lead the team to participate in the Goddess of Discord gladiatorial contest the day after tomorrow. You will take a day off tomorrow to cultivate your energy."
Sergus whispered aside: "He has been resting for six days."
"Trophy? The audience seems to have said it." Su Yedao.
"Yes. The official bronze-level gladiatorial tournament held in the name of the God of War Goddess of Discord. The Goddess of Discord likes multiplayer battles, so the format of the competition is that there are ten players from each team and two teams are drawn by the referee to fight each other. In one round, the team eliminated one player. In the tenth match, each team was left with only one player. No matter how many teams are left, everyone will play together to start a chaotic battle, and finally calculate the ranking based on the elimination order."
"This model is quite interesting." Su Ye said.
"If you behave well, the goddess of strife will give a fetish." Julius said.
"What do you mean? How is good performance?" Su Ye asked.
Julius thought for a while, and said: "There is no fixed form. After all, mortals cannot spy on the preferences of the gods. However, every time the goddess lowers the gods, it is because the battlefield is unexpected. For example, once a pair of twins swept the audience, Obtained a god gift. Another time, everyone was hit hard, everyone was on the verge of death, and the goddess sent miracles to rescue them. In short, in the match of the goddess of strife, the chaos the better. It is like the match of the god of terror, the enemy The more you are afraid, the better. If you can scare the audience to cry and scare the gladiators to pee, you will definitely be gifted."
"Really determined by the gods?" Su Ye asked.
Julius looked around and whispered in Su Ye’s ear: “Actually, the gods personally don’t give a lot of gifts. The so-called god gifts are generally divided into two situations. One is that the priests of the temple believe that this game is in line with The preferences of the gods are given by the temple on their behalf. The other is to resonate with the power of the gods, and the power of the gods descends from the gods, not the gods themselves."
"That's it." Su Yedao.
"Grasp well, after becoming a god-given gladiator, your future is limitless, and you will be valued by the Spartan royal family and the elders. If you are lucky, you can get extra strength, such as talent." Julius said.
"But I am a magician, and I have been favored by the goddess of wisdom." Su Yedao.
Julius shrugged and said: "The gods are not idle all day long to remember you as a mortal. What's more, the rules of the game are set by the temple and the royal family together, with the approval of the gods, and the gods will not destroy them for mortals. Your own rules. Unless you have determined the deity you belong to, for example, you get the highest level of attachment to the goddess of wisdom, the favor of the goddess of wisdom, or your family dedicated to worship the goddess of wisdom for generations. If you are really strong, believe in the gods, they will all How can I dislike you if I draw you in."
"I understand, but will this kind of gift be taken back?" Su Ye asked.
Jules laughed, and said: "Sacrifice to the gods and the game are two concepts. Sacrificing to the gods is to pray and trade, just as if you perform meritorious service for the king and the king grants you an official position, you betray to an enemy country and the king naturally takes it back. But the game rewards are equivalent to the king giving you gold and silver treasures. Even if you betrayed to an enemy country, you can still run with the gold and silver treasures. The king has nothing to do with you."
"This analogy is very appropriate, I understand." Su Ye said.
"If you get a trophy and want to make a move, or switch to a god-given equipment to make a move, you can find me. After all, the god-given equipment in the Temple of Discord is for warriors, and there are few wizards." Julius said.
"I understand, if I really want to make a move, I must ask you for help." Su Ye said.
Jules smiled and said, "You are a reliable guy! Don't worry, we are friends.
Su Ye smiled slightly, but he knew that Julius didn't make money, but he could meet more powerful people through the transaction of God-given equipment, which was far more rewarding than money.
"Tomorrow you are on vacation, whether you want to find a place to have fun or do something else, it doesn't matter. We are Sparta, not the rules of Plato Academy." Julius smiled ambiguously.
Su Ye said in a bad mood: "I'm still a child, I don't know what you are talking about. Tomorrow I just want to walk around and learn about Sparta briefly. Compared with those vulgar things, I understand Spartan customs and culture better. important."
"Haha, I believe it. Tomorrow will you hang out on your own or find a guide? I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't get out of it, otherwise I will accompany you around the city." Julius said helplessly.
"Unfortunately, Teacher Aristotle has already left... I'll look for Sergus, he is very enthusiastic." Su Ye said.
Julius recalled for a while, nodded, and said, "Sergus was born clean and has been in the academy for more than five years. It is reliable, but that mouth is too owed, no problem. I will arrange for him to accompany you tomorrow. But... Bada is no better than Athens. There are too many warriors. One by one, they just crawled out of the belly of Warcraft. They are rude and prone to disputes. Be careful."
Su Yedao: "I have Di Aotian and Wang Dahammer. It should be able to solve a lot of troubles."
"That's good. If you encounter any problems, mention my name. If it doesn't work, you will call you a friend of Prince Leonidas. Anyway, you are a student of Aristotle, Prince Leonidas will definitely be willing to help. "Julis said.
"Good." Su Ye smiled.
Early the next morning, Su Ye left the room and found that Sergus was waiting at the door with excitement.
"Your Excellency Su Ye, let's go to dinner, and after dinner we will show you the city of Sparta."
"it is good."
The two finished their meal and walked out of the arena.
When the morning light fell, Sergus was full of excitement, his face rosier than his red hair.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Just walk around and talk wherever you go." Su Ye said.
Along the way, Su Ye kept observing everything in Sparta, and Sergus also explained.
I thought that the buildings and streets of Sparta would be messy and messy, but in fact, they are just simpler than Athens, and the streets and ground are cleaner than Athens.
Occasionally, people with shabby clothes and thin yellow faces cleaning the streets.
"Those are Hilo?" Su Ye asked.
"Yes." Sergus said nonchalantly.
After walking a few steps, a slight popping sound suddenly came from my ear, like the sound of a whip on the flesh.
After a while, I saw a majestic white marble temple standing in front of me. Under the steps of the temple, a statue of the Moon God stood tall. The Moon Goddess was wearing a heroic hunting outfit and leather boots, holding a silver moon bow, and a golden horn on the left. Fawn, with four hounds on the right.
Below the statue of the Moon God, there was a long line of teenagers.At the front of the team, a teenager was lying on the ground with a soft cloth in his mouth and his back naked.
Pa... Pa...
The whip fell on the young man's back one after another, drawing long bloody marks after another, like red paint splashing on the bronze door.
When he was a teenager, he screamed and shook his body slightly.
The two stopped, and Sergus looked at the boy on the ground with a complex color on his face.
"This is one of the ways we Spartans exercise courage and resilience. Between the ages of 14 and 20, we have to flog once a year. However, after flogging, a simple treatment by the temple will not hurt our muscles. But , For the child, this is a huge pain. Alas..."
After the flogging was over, the boy got up bloodless, and a thinner boy lay on the ground.
Snapped……
"Ah..." the thin young boy let out a scream.
The two soldiers who executed the execution looked at each other, a faint unpleasant color appeared on their faces, and they suddenly increased their strength.
Snapped!Snapped!
The thin boy let out a more miserable cry, twisting his whole body in pain.
Most of the young people behind looked at the thin young man with sympathy, only a few were gloating.
Suddenly, the thin boy couldn't help it, and he was about to get up with his hands on the ground.
The execution warrior stepped on his neck and stomped it hard, while the other warrior raised his foot to the thin boy's back waist.
The whip fell on the skinny boy like a gust of wind, and quickly knocked the boy out alive.
"Just treat it briefly and throw this waste out!" The elderly priest in a white robe scolded grimly.
Sergus sighed and said: "We were very pitiful when we were young, but this is also the reason we are strong. Let's go, there are many people in line today, and it seems that there will be people in other temples receiving the flogging."
The two walked around the place of execution and went to other places.
Su Ye found that most of the Spartans here are in groups, with about fifteen people as the team. On the contrary, it is a small number of individuals who go forward. Thinking that this is the life of the Spartans, they usually arrange fifteen soldiers to eat and live. Together, cultivating team consciousness and comrade-in-arms feelings can greatly enhance cohesion and combat effectiveness.
After a while, Sergus pointed to a large wooden house and said: "There is a public cafeteria. Even the nobles must come to the public cafeteria to eat frequently. The Spartan black sauce soup that was ridiculed by the world was born. Inside. However, even if the black miso soup is ugly, the old people are not willing to drink the broth and want to save the broth for the young people who need to grow their bodies."
Along the way, Su Ye kept witnessing the various customs of Sparta.
Suddenly, a team of prisoners in shackles and handcuffs came over. More than 30 people were chained together, and they walked slowly and despairingly.
They were smeared with dyes of different colors, and their clothes and hair were strangely shaped.
Nearby children circled around them, laughing and playing loudly.
Sergus said casually: "We often organize the Hilo people to walk on the street, just to humiliate them and hit them, of course, also to strengthen the confidence of our Spartans, and let us Spartans know the tragedy of the defeat. "
Su Ye nodded and said, "Let's go to the deserted canyon and take a look. I want to see those poor abandoned babies."
"We'd better rent a carriage."
"no problem."
The two rented a carriage and drove out of the city.
Before leaving the city, singing came, slowly becoming clearer and clearer.
"...Because we didn't obey the order, we were just punished! Because we didn't obey the order, we were just punished..."
