Chapter 759 Do You Want to Hear the Truth?

Gabby had a lot to do, and he hurriedly left the training ground after arranging tomorrow's match list.

The rest of the people crowded in front of the trainer, asking for information about their opponents. After getting the news, they quickly turned around and recruited people with similar styles to be sparring partners to simulate tomorrow's battle.

Varro was the only one sitting on the ground, motionless.

His figure looks a little lonely, but this time most people can understand his frustration, because his luck is really bad. When he faces Habitus as his opponent, the gap between the two sides is too big. This is destined to be a battle. It was a one-sided beating, and Varro's chance of passing the test was naturally infinitely close to zero.

At this time, Zhang Heng also asked the trainer about Garba's information, including his odds of winning and losing, fighting style, etc. The trainer had a good impression of Zhang Heng and specifically reminded him that he was fighting against an old fox like Garba. Where should you pay attention.

Zhang Heng expressed his gratitude and walked to Varro's side.

Varro knew who was coming without looking back, and said, "Don't worry, I haven't given up on myself yet. You asked me before what happened that made me determined to become a gladiator."

"Are you willing to tell me now?" Zhang Heng sat down next to Varo.

"I saw him that afternoon, the afternoon when I went to the arena to help." Varro clenched his fist.

"who?"

"My best friend, or... the best friend I once thought of as my best friend." Varro smiled mockingly, "I trusted him very much and gave him all the money I invested in flax and asked him to take it with me. Egypt, but later they said that he was robbed on the road, and that he and his money were gone, but they sent the body back. His height and shape were fine, but his face was scratched."

"He is back?"

"Yes, and I was with my wife. They were sitting in the stands together, enjoying the gladiatorial show. They probably didn't notice me. After all, I didn't pay attention to the slaves below when I went to the gladiatorial show before. .”

The other party's arrogant behavior also surprised Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng originally thought that Varo's friend would leave Rome forever after faking his death and move to other places with Varo's property. In this way, this matter would be unproven. But I didn't expect that guy would dare to come back and openly live with Varo's wife.

"Can you sue him and get your property back?" Zhang Heng asked.

Varro shook his head, "Julia Basilica only accepts lawsuits from Roman citizens, slaves are not among them. Besides, I don't have money to hire a lawyer now. They can also find various excuses, such as he really encountered a robber." , but luckily escaped, but others mistakenly thought that other people's bodies were his and sent them back. After all, I really signed the contract at the time, and no matter what the reason, I did breach the contract."

Varro is much calmer now than when Zhang Henggang met him. Otherwise, why would someone say that suffering is the best university? But Varro's problem is that he is a bit too mediocre.

After experiencing the betrayal of his wife and best friend, and losing his personal freedom, he finally cheered up and survived a period of impossible devil training. When he raised his head, he found Habitus standing in front of him.

Varro hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you think my chances of winning against Habitus are?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

"Not even 10%." Zhang Heng said truthfully, "He is in the golden period of a gladiator. His physical fitness, combat skills, and combat experience are all far better than yours. This gap cannot be made up by willpower, even if it is strengthened Bach’s chances of winning against him after training are slim.”

"What about you?" Varro asked.

Zhang Heng smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "But your goal is not to beat him, as long as you can pass tomorrow's assessment."

"As you said, his physical fitness, combat skills, and combat experience are all better than mine. Tomorrow's battle will be one-sided. How can I pass the test?" Varro smiled bitterly, "I don't even know what I am doing with him. How long can your men last, ten rounds."

"You may be overestimating yourself, my friend." Zhang Heng said tactfully, "There is no point in defending or escaping even if you can extend the round."

The audience has a very bad impression of escapees. If a gladiator always escapes, then once he loses and has not seen the wonderful performance, the audience will shout to kill him! At this time, the organizers of the duel show will also comply with public opinion and execute the loser.

Therefore, even an experienced gladiator like Garba will fight hard when he encounters an opponent he knows he is outmatched. Even if he cannot win, he will still have to mark his opponent twice to show his professional attitude.

"The key to passing the assessment is not the number of rounds, but whether you can cause some trouble to Habitus."

"Am I causing trouble to Habitus? What trouble, will my blood spill on his sword?"

"It has to be a bigger trouble than this." Zhang Heng said, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be able to help you, but we have seen Habitus take action before, so on this issue, maybe I can provide you with something. suggestion."

"Really?" Varro said in surprise. He looked at Zhang Heng as if he were looking at the incarnation of Jupiter in the world.

The latter had saved him more than once, from giving him a three-day extension to making him protective gear, and now telling him that there might be a way to take advantage of Habitus.

"Don't be too happy too early. I'm not too sure. After all, it depends on your on-the-spot performance and Habitus's attitude towards you."

Zhang Heng paused and continued, "It stands to reason that he shouldn't participate in this entry-level gladiator assessment. We don't know why he is on the list now, but if I had to guess, I think he is likely to be with Canada. Gabi is a little conflicted. After all, Bach's rise is a direct threat to him. Gabi may be taking this opportunity to beat him, so Habitus is probably not in a good mood. Plus, he is a very proud person. man, so your opportunity has come. I can play his role and spar with you. We have a whole day. If you can do what I say, you can probably cause him a little trouble. Of course, even if If everything goes well, you only have about a 40% chance."

"That's enough. 40% is better than 10% at all." Varro gritted his teeth. "From the moment I was sold here, I only had one way to fight. I need to get out of here. I must Will get out of here."

"Very well, I'll tell you what to do."
