Chapter 82 Have you ever thought about the future?(1/2)
Li Xiang, who returned to the training base, was warmly received by the gladiators.
You can defeat your opponent with your eyes blindfolded, and this powerful strength makes all gladiators admire you.
The maids brought delicious food and wine. This time, Li Xiang did not enjoy it alone, but instead greeted the gladiators around him, "My friends, I am willing to share these with you."
He was a newcomer before, but now he has demonstrated his strength and has achieved enough achievements. Li Xiang can start to buy these gladiators.
Maybe no one will listen to what Li wanted to say in front.
But now starting, what he said will inevitably be noticed by the gladiators.
For these gladiators who are on the verge of life and death, food and wine are their favorite things.
Well, there are also beautiful girls.
These things are not available on weekdays and will only be rewarded when you win.
Gladiator's daily food tubes are full, but the quality is not satisfactory.
As for fine wine, it is even more out of reach.
I have to go to the arena to fight with my life, and I will have the chance to drink it after I survive.
Now that Li wants to take the initiative to share these with them, he will naturally gain the favor of the gladiators.
Of course, the premise is that his strength is strong enough and his record is excellent enough.
With this premise, this is twice the result with half the effort.
If not, they will only be ridiculed.
Gladiators have developed limbs, but their minds are not that simple. People who are too stupid cannot leave the arena alive.
The wine and food were enjoyed freely, and the gladiators cheered endlessly.
In Li Xiang's physique, these low-degree wines are not much different from drinking water.
He held the wine glass and talked and chatted with the gladiators one by one.
The main thing is to connect with feelings and talk about topics that men like, such as girls, women, girls, etc.
When he ends the topic, he always says, "My friend, believe me. We will definitely live a good life with whatever we want. Believe me~~~"
The drunken gladiators basically shouted, ‘I believe you!’
The only exception is the dark buddy Onoma Moss.
This former champion is very calm and has a smart mind.
He could see that Li Xiang was trying to win over the gladiators, but he didn't understand the meaning of doing so.
Li Xiang is so powerful that he doesn't need anyone's help in the arena.
Could it be that he was trying to win over everyone just because of his simple preference?
Brother Hei didn't think he looked like him, because he saw endless arrogance from Li Xiang's eyes!
The next day, Batitas, who had not returned overnight, was carried back.
As for the accompanying entourage and bodyguards, there was no trace of them at all.
The gladiators were shocked to inquire about the news and learned that it was the opponent's family who wanted to force Li to buy Li and wanted to be their gladiator.
Batitas would rather bear the cruel beating than accept the request.
It’s not that he loves Li Xiang so much, but as a gladiator boss, he knows very well how huge and considerable income Li Xiang can bring to him.
He would rather be beaten to death than give up his money tree.
Fortunately, his aristocratic status saved him. When everyone knew who he was going to meet, the opponent's family did not dare to kill him.
After all, they were Roman nobles. Beating him and killing him directly were two completely different natures.
"Spartacus."
Batitas, who was lying on the bed and was treated by the doctor, had his eyes full of flames. "In the opening game of Capua New Arena, you must kill all the misty gladiators!"
Looking at the skull of his head, Batitas, who had a pungent smell of urine on his body.
Li Xiang took two steps back before nodding slightly, "This is a very simple thing."
“By the way.”
Li Xiang raised his hand and gestured on his throat, "If you want to take revenge, I can go out to deal with your enemy at night."
“It’s not the time.”
Batitas, who suffered great humiliation, was determined to completely defeat his enemies.
The most effective way is to get rid of all the opponent's gladiators in the arena.
He and his enemies' families are engaged in gladiator training businesses, and their greatest wealth is those outstanding gladiators.
After all, slaves are not worth much, but the gladiator who can win the game is worth a thousand gold.
Li Xiang, who returned to the lounge, sat on a long chair and asked the gladiator beside him, "Have you ever thought about the future?"
"The future? What is the future."
The gladiator's eyes were full of despair. "We have only one future, that is, we will continue to fight in the arena until the day we die!"
Li Xiang smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't be so desperate, no one knows when the goddess of fate will lift the corner of her skirt to you."
When going to the toilet, Li Xiang, who was sitting on the marble slab, held the leaves on the olive branch to block his nostrils.
He casually divided his papyrus to the gladiators around him, "Have you ever thought about the future?"
Most of the gladiators were not Romans, most of them came from places conquered by Roman legions, namely barbarians.
There is no doubt that the gladiators all have unforgettable hatred for Rome.
The Roman legion was not a civilized army. The only places they conquered were destruction and killing, and of course, there was omnipresent looting.
These gladiators who lost everything because of the Romans belong to the group of people who are most likely to incite.
There are also some real Romans in the Gladiator.
The reason they are gladiators is very simple, they are bankrupt.
The Roman nobles lived an extremely luxurious life and had to wear silk when they were dressed.
But the Roman civilians lived a day getting worse and worse.
There are no assistance agencies here. In order to have food, house, and clothing, in order to have food, live, and wear clothes, the only way to maintain a life is to borrow money.
Crasso, the richest man in Rome and one of the three giants, is the biggest gld leader.
Roman civilians who could not afford to pay back their money would go bankrupt. In order to repay their debts and to survive, many people chose to be gladiators.
While eating, Li Xiang asked a Roman gladiator who was consuming cereal porridge with blonde curly hair, "Have you ever thought about the future?"
"future?"
The voracious curl was stunned, "Earn the competition to make money, pay off debts and live with my wife."
Li Xiang smiled and didn't say anything more, but just divided the mutton on his plate for him.
Now is not the time to convince him, and he has to wait until he is completely desperate about life.
Ordinary gladiators must be full when they eat.
But this thing is a sticky and tasty thing like cereal porridge.
The only exception is Li Xiang.
Li Xiang, who showed his strong strength, had extremely exquisite meals for every meal, and even had enough meat supply, which made other gladiators envious.
Just envious, but no one is jealous.
They have all seen or felt the power of Li Xiang with their own eyes. It is natural for them to have more resources and extra care.
Batitas, who was beaten up, felt deeply that he lacked a powerful backstage.
He tried his best to buy gifts even by borrowing money, trying to get a general's way.
In Rome, the role of money can even be used to buy enough tickets directly, so as to become a provincial governor or a civilian official or even a ruler.
As for the Senate, let alone, they all spend money to get in.
Batitas' money was not spent in vain. At least the general was willing to come to his training ground after receiving the gift.
"General Grebe."
In the living room, Batitas proudly introduced Li Xiang to the general, "Spartacus, my best gladiator here!"
"It's incredible." General Grebe's wife, blonde girl, got up and wandered around Li Xiang. "I've never seen such a face."
The costumes of Roman women are really hard to describe, and they are the kind that cannot be described.
Anyway, when you look at Li Xiang from here, you can't say that you can see it at all, at least you can see most of it.
More importantly, they don’t care.
"I have seen similar things when I was fighting the barbarians in Syria." Grebo began to brag about his past "They came to Rome from the far east with expensive silk."
