Three Kingdoms Eschatology
Page 254
Feng Yu observed carefully, they not only cast their eyes on themselves, but also cast their eyes on some other guests who were about to take a bath.It just so happened that in front of Feng Yu and his group was a fat man with a waist like a bucket staggering forward, and the people on both sides of the place he passed all had mocking smiles on their lips.
Feng Yu suddenly realized that it wasn't because of the oriental faces of his group that attracted the attention of these bathers.Instead, people in the bathing place will consciously or unconsciously compare their physical fitness.Just as people outside will be classified according to differences in power and wealth, here is no exception, but the standard based on physical fitness.
Fortunately, people like Feng Yu are all hardcovers in Liang Junzhong. Even though Feng Yu himself is an emperor, he has never neglected his daily fitness and martial arts, so he is still muscular after forty years old.Otherwise, you will lose face in front of this group of white people.
Just as Feng Yu was thinking, he came to a very large bathtub, so he jumped in to take a bath.The people following him also jumped into the pool, deliberately forcing the other bathers away with too close a distance, trying to monopolize the bathing pool.
Most of the bathers who were chatting in the bathhouse frowned, and left angrily, muttering curse words in their mouths.However, there are still a few people who are still unmoved, and are still soaking in the bath leisurely.Seeing this, Feng Yu murmured a few words in Dian Qing's ear, and Dian Qing immediately gestured to the Liang soldiers with a tigerish face, and they all went out of the bathing pool to take a bath in a nearby bathing pool like ducks landing on the shore.
Unexpectedly, among the few bathers left, one of them suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, revealing a piercing cold light. "Don't you know? The bath in this lobby cannot be used by slaves. There is a washing place for slaves brought along outside."
Feng Yu smiled lightly: "I know this. But none of them are slaves, they are all free men."
The man's face became more puzzled: "Oh? They are not your slaves? But why do they listen to you so much? Where are you from?"
"In this world, some people obeying others does not necessarily mean the relationship between slaves and masters. For example, the soldiers of the Roman legion must obey their centurion, thousand commander, and even the commander of the legion. Therefore, it is impossible to judge who is who. slave. As for where I am from, I am also a citizen of Rome."
Hearing this, the other party laughed instead, and said, "Soldiers of the Roman Legion are to obey their commanders. But only on the battlefield and in the barracks. In addition, I mean the origin of the question, that is, where did you come from?" Where did you come from?"
Feng Yu thought about it for a while, and there was no need to hide it secretly, so he said truthfully: "We are from the Liang Kingdom in the east, and I am honored to have obtained the citizenship granted by the Roman Consulate."
Hearing this, the other party burst out laughing, and said, "When I saw your faces, I already guessed that you were close to ten. You really did not turn out to be the group of people from Liang Guo that I expected. And you are exactly this group of people." Feng Hu, the master."
The color of Feng Yu's face changed imperceptibly, and he continued to ask: "Who is your Excellency, why do you know our details so well. In addition, they are indeed free people, not my slaves."
The man continued to smile and said: "Not only do I know this, I also know that dozens of you just killed hundreds of Celtic barbarians at the northeast foot of the Alps a few days ago. I am from the Roman Empire." Tribune Quintus, everyone in the military and political circles knows about this, and I am no exception. You orientals have very special faces, so I guessed it was you. Just now you admitted that you have acquired the Roman Empire Citizenship further confirms this."
Feng Yu nodded and said, "I see."
Quintus continued: "You just said that they are not your slaves, um..., you can also say that. Because you Liang people have only one master, and that is your emperor Feng Yu. And they obey you because Feng Yu made them obey to you."
Feng Yu's expression changed significantly this time, and he said, "You mean that all Liang people are slaves of Liang's monarch?"
Quintus leaned back at this moment, resting his head on a rolled towel that was used as a pillow at the edge of the bath, and one of the slaves standing behind him hurried forward, squeezed his shoulders and pressed his head.He himself closed his eyes slightly again and said unhurriedly:
"You can put it this way. Don't you have two sentences in your country of Liang? One of them is that the king ordered the ministers to die, and the other sentence is--under the whole world, there is no king or minister. The logic of these two sentences is connected. , your king Feng Yu has supreme power at least in the territory of Liang State. He can kill anyone in Liang State without the need for laws or trials. What is this kind of power if it is not the power exercised by the master over the slaves? "
Feng Yu was taken aback, secretly thinking that this fellow had obviously done enough homework on all aspects of China and Earth.Otherwise, how could he know Liang Guo so well.
Quintus also noticed an obvious change on Feng Yu's face. He thought he was angry, and laughed again: "My honored guest, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to mock Liang Guo, but I thought it was our Roman Empire. What should be learned, the Roman Empire is facing many crises at the moment..."
When Quintus said this, Feng Yu already understood what he wanted to say later.Quintus must have believed that the root cause of the crisis-ridden Rome was the lack of concentration of power, and thought that imitating the political system of some eastern countries, especially Liang Guo, might be a way out.It's a pity that Feng Yu, who has insight into the 3000-year history, doesn't think so.
When Feng Yu was thinking about how to change the topic, there were bursts of noise behind him.He turned his head and saw another large group of gorgeously dressed people broke in, especially a fat man with a big belly surrounded by this group of people, who was even more luxuriously dressed in gold and silver.
Simmons next to Feng Yu said: "It's just a shower! Is it necessary to bring so many people and dress so gorgeously?"
Seeing that Feng Yu was not interested in the previous topic, Quintus consciously shut up.He continued to close his eyes slightly, but answered Simmons' question in his mouth: "Of course it is necessary. This person is Gaius, the chief senator of the Senate. You really think that people like me and Gaius can come here if you are a beggar." Is the public bath for bathing just for taking a bath?"
Feng Yuben had some doubts about the bathing place. Seeing that Quintus took the initiative to mention this topic, he asked without hesitation: "I hope that His Excellency the Tribune will clear up your doubts."
Chapter 995
Inside the misty Xiongshi Great Bath.Quintus, the Roman tribune, saw that Feng Yu was interested in the topic of bathing, so he talked eloquently:
"Except for those homeless people who are Roman citizens who come here simply to take a bath, more people still hold the purpose of social interaction, getting acquainted with people and inquiring about news. Since it is a social place, There should be a hierarchical order. It is impossible for a chief elder like Gaius to socialize with a street beggar. However, in this bathing place, in this environment where everyone is naked, how can we see the hierarchy? What about the difference? In this kind of social place, those who have a low social status outside, if they have a strong physique, are more respected than fat people like Gaius. Therefore, people like Gaius will be used The expensive clothes he wears on the court, and the many slaves to maintain his sense of social superiority."
Feng Yu suddenly realized: "So that's the case." Then he asked with a little doubt: "Since the nobles want to maintain their sense of superiority in social status, why do they come to this public free public bath instead of...for example Set up a bathing place specially for the nobles."
Quintus smiled and replied: "Good question. In fact, the answer is very simple, because it is a tradition. This was the case during the Republic period hundreds of years ago. The sages believed that in places like the bathhouse, all citizens are like newborn babies. There are no differences brought about by various social attributes. The noble and the humble are naked people here. Therefore, this is the place where all citizens can be frank and express their hearts. The power of habits and traditions is difficult to change. Someone once specially made a The bathing place provided for the nobles ended up closing down."
Feng Yu thought about it silently, and thought that Quintus' seemingly far-fetched words made sense.For example, the original world he came from is already in the Internet age, and some companies operate social applications, although it is not difficult to imitate a software or website with the same function.But it is difficult for competitors to shake them.
By the time they were talking, Gaius had already taken off his clothes and was walking towards this side surrounded by a large group of servants in gorgeous uniforms.Originally, his fat and bloated figure would arouse people's contempt, but most of them did not cast mocking glances at him, but instead gave him more respectful and flattering gazes.
Whenever Gaius passed by a bath, someone in the bath always greeted him, indicating that there was a vacancy in the bath.Gaius ignored it until he saw Feng Yu and Quintus.
"Quintus, you also came out to take a bath today." Gaius said hello and made a gesture to go down to the bath.His two slaves hurriedly supported him, one on the left and the other on the right, and carefully lowered him into the pool.
"Well, the water temperature is good today." Gaius said boring words to Quintus, but looked at Feng Yu's face.Feng Yu found that there was still a big golden chain hanging around his neck.
"This...is this your friend?" Seeing that Quintus didn't take the initiative to introduce Feng Yu for a long time, Gaius finally couldn't help asking Quintus.
Quintus smiled: "That's right, the kind of friend who just met for a few minutes and talked a few words."
Gaius was obviously much more mature than Quintus, and he asked politely, "Oh, so that's the case. Doesn't this friend look like he was born and raised in Rome?"
Feng Yu immediately replied politely: "I am a Roman now, of course I was not born and raised in Rome. I am from the East..."
Hearing these two eyes, Gaius hung the towel around his neck and said, "Hey, you don't need to go on, let me guess. You are the one named Feng Hu who led dozens of servants to kill you!" Liang people who killed hundreds or thousands of Celtic barbarians, right?"
Feng Yu nodded and said, "It's right here."
Gaius was proud of his IQ, and boasted: "Actually, I already guessed your face when I saw your face. It seems that my brain has not declined with the growth of my belly." He took pictures while talking. I patted my stomach.
Quintus said with a bit of teasing from the side: "The brain of the elder Gaius is still very strong. Unlike some elders, who are already demented, but still cling to their positions."
Gaius heard him talk about his Senate.His face changed slightly, and he hurriedly changed the subject.He started to ask Feng Yu about the east and the west.Of course, most of the questions he asked were irrelevant, and Feng Yu answered them all seriously.At last Gaius asked:
"I heard that the emperor of the Liang Kingdom is named Feng Yu, and your name is Feng Hu, and you Orientals have the first surname. So you and your emperor have the same surname?"
Feng Yu thought for a while, thinking that he had told Rome that he was a relative of Emperor Liang, and that he was also a prince. Many people knew about it. These nobles in Rome would know about it sooner or later. There was no need to hide it. .So he said to Gaius: "Senior Gaius, correct you a little. I am a Roman citizen now, so my emperor is His Majesty Alexander. However, I am indeed in the same family as Emperor Feng Yu of Daliang. In fact, I It's his cousin."
Hearing this, Gaius forgot that he was in the water, and wanted to slap his legs excitedly, but the water surface was splashed out quite a lot.He said in his mouth: "I just want to guess. I didn't expect that you are really a relative of Liang Guo..."
He turned his head and said to Quintus proudly: "The Consul's Office hasn't told anyone about this. Look, I thought of it first."
Quintus opened his eyes again, and said with a flash: "I know that in your country of Liang, the emperor known as the Son of Heaven has supreme power. As his relative, you also have incomparable power. You may even be allocated a piece of land for your rule. In addition to continuing to be the courtier of the emperor, you also have the power to kill and seize the lives of the people on this land. So why don’t you My hometown enjoys these honors and wealth, but I have to travel thousands of miles to come to Rome without hesitation and risk, and come to be an ordinary person? Of course His Majesty Alexander may use you, but it is not as good as you living in your hometown. Then what are you Picture what?"
Quintus's words stunned Feng Yu's question.In fact, Feng Yu has already designed answers to similar questions.For example, the life of a prince is tired, he has a habit of traveling to various countries, admires the civilization and culture of Rome, and so on.But now Feng Yu had an idea and gave Quintus an unexpected answer.
He smiled and said to Quintus: "Actually, the answer has already been given by Your Excellency the Tribune."
Chapter 996 The Crisis That Doesn't Exist
Hearing what Feng Yu said, Quintus wondered: "Oh? When did I tell you why you came to Rome, and I don't have a brain like Elder Gaius, who can penetrate people's hearts and predict the future."
When he spoke, he did not forget to tease Gaius, who was fascinated by their conversation, but didn't care.Feng Yu said calmly:
"Didn't His Excellency Kuntus say a moment ago that the entire Liang Kingdom, except for the emperor, is actually a slave. What your Excellency actually said is not bad at all. It is no different from your slaves in front of you. As a royal family member, I have indeed been knighted, and I am a Marquis. Although I don’t have unlimited power in the fief as you said, I can still order the wind and the rain. But even so, the emperor wants to confiscate my property, kill me, and even punish me and my family as slaves. It is just a matter of one sentence, and there is no need for any reason. So the most important reason for me to come to Rome is I want to be a free man, and I don't want to put my life, death and destiny on the emperor's whim."
After Feng Yu finished speaking, he saw that Quintus and Gaius were silent, thoughtfully, and continued: "Of course this is only one of the reasons. After all, the probability of me being killed by Liang Guo for no reason is very high. Very low. In fact, there are many other reasons for me to come to Rome. I knew a lot about Rome when I was in the East. Some unique things in Rome make me very curious. And I like to travel to the mountains and rivers and travel to various countries. I have been to all those countries in the east, so I want to use the rest of my life to visit Rome, which I have admired for a long time."
Feng Yu made some nonsense reasons before he stopped talking.Quintus seemed hesitant to speak. In fact, he wanted to continue this topic, but at the same time, Gaius was by his side, so he couldn't say a lot.
Gaius, however, was flattering Feng Yu: "Since you are here, please stay in Rome and enjoy the life here. The wine, food and beauties in Rome will make you linger. Today is the first time we meet, From now on, we will be friends. You are new here, you may encounter any difficult things in your daily life, just come to me."
Feng Yu hurriedly responded politely: "Then I will thank Elder Gaius here first."
Gaius waved his hand and said, "Hey, everyone is friends, so thank you, you Orientals are so polite. In the future, maybe one day, I may have to go to your country of Liang to take refuge, and then..."
When he was speaking, he suddenly realized that Quintus was still there, and it was inconvenient to say some words, so he hurriedly stopped talking.
Quintus said straightly, "Gaius, if someone is not the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, would you still talk to others like this? Don't you just look at the current crisis in the Roman Empire and find yourself a queen?" Way? The current world is really funny, the emperor of Liang Kingdom came to our Rome, but our political leaders in Rome wanted to be the subjects of the emperor of Liang Kingdom."
Hearing this, Gaius became angry, his face flushed, and he slapped the water violently with his hands and shouted, "Quintus, don't talk nonsense here! How can you tell that I want to go to Liang Guo In addition, where is the crisis in our Roman Empire? Now we have taken back most of the Syrian provinces captured by Sassan, and the traitor Macrinus has also been wiped out. Even those who fled into the Vienna Basin The Celts have also retreated to the north bank of the Danube. Where are we in danger? What crisis are we in?"
Seeing that he was angry, Quintus didn't say anything, but with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he jumped onto the bank of the pool and went to a couch to let his slave rub his back.He and Gaius were not members of the same faction, and there was no result in arguing here.
Only Gaius and Feng Yu were left in the pool, as well as a few other people on the opposite side of the pool.Inspired by Quintus, Gaius was obviously less interested. He asked Feng Yu about Liang Guo's customs, government and military affairs.Feng Yu saw that these were insignificant matters, so he answered them one by one.After a while, Feng Yu felt bored, and said goodbye to Gaius, and went out of the bath to take a shower.Afterwards, he dressed neatly, and those Liang Jun under him had already finished their work, and they were all waiting for him.A group of people returned to the hotel, and went back to their rooms to sleep soundly.
Early in the morning of the second day, Feng Yu and others woke up, and after washing up, they gathered in the cafeteria of the hotel and waited for dinner.Feng Yu found that the Roman obviously did not have the habit of getting up early. When they arrived at the dining hall, only the hotel maid was busy.
Today, the maid didn't have her hair tied up or a wreath, and Feng Yu noticed that she had golden hair.Feng Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "Aren't you a native of Rome?"
The maid raised her freckled face and glanced at Feng Yu.Maybe it was because she didn't expect Feng Yu to talk to him at all, or because Feng Yu's Latin was not so fluent, she couldn't hear clearly, so she asked Feng Yu with a blank face: "Is the guest talking to me?"
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Feng Yu's mouth, trying to keep himself as kind as possible, then slowed down and asked, "I'm asking you, aren't you a Roman?"
The girl nodded indifferently and said, "Of course, I am the slave of the owner of this hotel. There are no slaves."
Feng Yu snorted, and asked again: "Then what's your name? Where did you come from? How did you become a slave?"
The girl didn't know what Feng Yu's intention was, and just said two words timidly: "Bonnie..." A big and round chef walked in.She hastily shut her mouth, and buried her head in wiping the table and stool again.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yu knew that it would be difficult for the blond girl named Bonnie to keep asking, so he greeted the fat chef instead: "Master, when will the rice be ready?"
The fat cook replied angrily: "There are so many of you, no matter what, it will take more than an hour. You just have to be patient and wait a little longer."
The fat cook was originally told by the boss to get up early in the morning because of the first large group of customers coming to the store.This made him have to wake up more than two hours earlier than usual, so he was naturally unhappy.
The cook entered the open open kitchen and got busy. Bonnie had done all the preparations for him, and he got busy on his own.Feng Yu found that there was also a faucet in the kitchen that hung up to stop the water, and took it down to produce water, similar to the bathroom, and suddenly thought of something.He walked into the kitchen and asked the chef, "Excuse me, how did this water come from?"
The cook rolled his eyes and said, "Naturally, it was sent from the water pipe in the back?" He added in his heart: "A ground beetle that has never been seen in any world!" But he didn't notice that Feng Yu's face had changed.
Chapter 997
Feng Yu asked the chef, of course, not because he was curious about how the water in the kitchen of the hotel cafeteria was introduced, nor was he so bored that he chatted with the chef.Instead, he thought of a very important matter related to his own health.
Feng Yu walked around behind a wall in the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw a metal pipe as thick as a wine cup passing through the wall.Feng Yu drew out the dagger at his waist, scraped some powder off the pipe, took it to his nose and smelled it, secretly thinking that the material of the metal pipe is indeed lead.He remembered reading a popular science article in the original world, saying that the common use of lead cast water pipes in Rome as the urban water supply system was the main reason for the decline of Roman civilization, because people’s long-term intake of lead ash caused various diseases, leading to earlier physical weakness and dementia.Although Feng Yu does not believe that this is the main reason for the decline of Rome, he is sure that it is one of the reasons.
Feng Yu thought again that Gaius always boasted about his head with ordinary intelligence. It can be seen that there are not many people at his age who can still use their brains.Moreover, the premature physical exhaustion of the Romans was also the reason why Rome recruited a large number of non-Latino Romans and the three major barbarian soldiers of Celtic, Germanic, and Slavic since the end of the second century and the beginning of the third century.
At this time, the fat cook also followed, and reprimanded him in a tactful way: "Hey, I said guest, what's so interesting about this backyard. What are you messing around with? If it weren't for your extravagance, you would have been punished." You've become a thief. You'd better go back to the hall and rest. In half an hour, breakfast will be ready."
Feng Yu chuckled and asked, "Dare to ask Master, does the water for daily eating and drinking come from this water pipe?"
The fat cook said with a hint of contempt: "That's natural, why don't you go outside to get water? This is the tap water system in our city of Rome. But foreigners like you from remote countries, knowing this It feels very novel. I'm not surprised at all."
The two said that they had already returned to the lobby.Feng Yu cursed in his heart, I am a man of two generations, I have never seen anything, what a novelty!But he gestured to Dian Qing who was still sitting on the chair.Dian Qing came over and asked, "What is the Lord's order?"
Feng Yu said calmly: "Give this a few gold coins." Dian Qing was full of doubts, but still took out the purse according to Feng Yu's instructions, and took out a few glittering gold coins from it, and handed them the gold coins embossed with Caesar. in the hands of the chef.Such a large sum of money was enough to pay him for two years.
Seeing such a large sum of money, the fat cook was at a loss for a while, and shrank his hands back in fright, not daring to take it.But Feng Yu said: "Take it, I just ask the master for a small matter." The fat cook suddenly smiled, took the gold coin tremblingly and asked: "If you have any orders, just tell me."
Feng Yu said unhurriedly: "In the future, the water we will use for cooking and the drinking water delivered to the room will bother the master to find a way to get it from other clean water sources, as long as it does not flow through these lead pipes. clean water will do.”
When the fat cook heard this, he said, "Are you mentally ill?" He was about to blurt out, but was forced back by the gold coin in his hand.He quickly calculated in his mind that the gold coins in his hands were enough to hire several people to fetch water for two or three years.So he immediately recovered his smile and said: "No problem. A few hundred steps away from our store is the cistern in Rome. All the water pipes draw water from there, but the water in this cistern comes directly from It was brought from the mountain spring outside the city. It’s just that I can only find someone to fetch water for you for a month. If it takes a long time, I will have to pay more.”
Feng Yu nodded slightly to express his approval, but a voice came from behind them: "Augus, how can you accept this money?!"
Hearing this voice, the fat cook's face immediately turned livid, and his boss flashed in front of everyone in an instant, and at the same time quickly snatched the gold coins from his hand.It turned out that the hotel owner had been listening behind them for a long time.
The hotel owner said to Feng Yu solemnly: "My dear guest, this is your fault. You have this special request, so you should ask me, the boss. You don't have to pay this fat man... um, just give it to me. This fat man is also an employee employed by this store, he has no right to be a guest of this store..."
Feng Yu didn't bother to reason with him, and said, "It's okay, as long as we don't let us drink the water flowing out of this lead pipe. This money is considered as an increase for our special request."
The hotel owner said with a smile on his face: "Dear guest, don't worry! I promise to meet your requirements." After that, he said to the cook named Augustus: "Don't cook this meal, wait for me to order Get fresh water and you can continue."
Seeing the duck with its beak flying away, Augustus mumbled and agreed vaguely.The owner of the hotel is obviously still more dependent on Augustus. Knowing that he was emotionally robbed by his mouth, he took out one of the seven or eight gold coins and handed it to Augustus, saying: "This is a bonus for you, do it well, boss I can't treat you badly."
Finally, after more than an hour, Feng Yu and others had dinner.During this period, Feng Yu saw with his own eyes several slaves picking up buckets of water.A group of people waited for two hours for their meal. They were already hungry, and they all started to gobble it up.
When the food was almost finished, Dian Qing asked from the side: "My lord, do you think the water in this store is not clean. You must ask them to go outside to fetch water for use."
After Feng Yu swallowed the last piece of bread, he shook his head and said, "No, the water is poisonous!"
If Feng Yu hadn't pressed Dian Qing's shoulder, Dian Qing would have jumped up in shock. He shouted loudly, "What? Someone poisoned us, my lord, why didn't you say so earlier!" I don't understand, and nothing is right or wrong.
Feng Yu has already explained to his subordinates that the water flowing from the lead-cast water pipe cannot be eaten or drunk because lead is poisonous.
Then Dian Qing suddenly realized: "So that's what happened. But it's like this. The whole city uses lead pipes to drink water. Isn't that the whole city will be poisoned to death? It's not true that they use this lead pipe to divert water. For a short while."
"That's because it's chronic poisoning, and the toxic effect can only be exerted after years of accumulation. If you just eat this kind of water for ten and a half months, or even a few months, there will be almost no effect. When the effect is obvious, people may have already died. When you are past the prime of life, people will think that it is a physical change caused by age, so naturally you can't find the problem."
Dian Qing said carelessly again: "So that's the case. But since we won't be poisoned in a short time, why should we starve for more than an hour, and there is no need to pay the boss so much money. We can't live here for long."
Chapter 998 The Arena
After listening to Dian Qing's question, Simmons grinned and said, "The reason is simple. If you don't tell you, it won't affect you if you wash a shit bowl for you. But you Got it, can you still eat? My lord knows it now, so naturally I can’t drink this water anymore, isn’t it the same reason?”
After he finished speaking, Dian Qing put down the knife and fork in his hand, frowned and said, "Simmons, Simmons, you are deliberately keeping me from finishing this meal, right? You understand the truth clearly, but I can't eat this meal."
Like Dian Qing, the rest of the people put down their knives and forks one after another, fortunately they had almost eaten.At this time, Simmons thought of something, and said to Feng Yu:
"My lord, it's just as you said. Although the lead is poisonous, the Romans don't realize it. It will shake the foundation of the country after a long time. Do you need to remind these high-ranking officials and nobles in Rome?"
Feng Yu remained silent, noncommittal to Simmons' question.He just tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
Dian Qing on the side diverted the conversation: "Yesterday, Alexander explained that he will have a banquet, that is, he will meet with the lord tomorrow. When we took a bath in the big bath yesterday, we chatted with the locals and knew that the most distinctive place in Rome is The Grand Theater and the Arena. Why don’t we take this time today to visit the Grand Theater and the Arena.”
Three hours later, Feng Yu and others entered the famous arena on the east bank of the Tiber River.It is the same as the big bath, and the arena is also free, but the seats inside are divided into levels.The gatekeeper of the arena guessed that they seemed to be newcomers, and specially told them some rules-in the arena, Roman nobles had seats for nobles, citizens had seats for citizens, and freemen and foreigners also had separate areas.People in low seats cannot sit in high seats, but conversely people in high seats can sit in low seats.In addition, slaves can also follow their masters into specific areas, but the number of slaves brought by nobles and citizens is limited.
When everyone entered the arena, except for Feng Yu, everyone else was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the arena.Although they have imagined through other people's description, this super building that can accommodate [-] spectators at the same time is far beyond their imagination.
Simmons was the first to come back to his senses, and said with a bit of pride on his face: "Actually, this arena is also copied from the Olympia stadium in Greece. And that Olympia stadium was built 1000 years ago. I heard it when I was very young." My parents said it. On the way to Rome, when I passed Thrace, I specifically inquired about it. It turned out that it is still there, and it has not been lost in history. I wanted to see it. Unfortunately, the stadium is in Elis, on the Peloponnese, is out of the way."
Feng Yu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. And I haven't forgotten what I said to you in the early years." Simmons' expression suddenly became serious.
They went to the stands only to find that less than 9% of the [-] people were seated.Feng Yu and the others randomly found a seat in the area for free people and foreigners.At this time, the gladiatorial performance had not yet started, so they started chatting.
