Chapter 766 Can You Describe Her Appearance?

Probably only in the bathhouse where everyone is equal can Varro temporarily forget his slave status and recall his past life again.

Especially when he walked into the hot tub and let his body be completely soaked in the hot water, every pore seemed to be stretched. Varro couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.

He closed his eyes in the pool, but after waiting for a while, Zhang Heng did not enter the water, so he opened his eyes again, "Come on, it will be a little hot at first, but after you get used to it, you will feel that all your fatigue is gone." This warm water was taken away. When I was still running an antique store, I would often invite old customers to come to the bathhouse to discuss business while taking a bath..."

As Varo spoke, he seemed to think of something again, with a look of nostalgia on his face, but soon the pain from the bruise on his chest brought him back to reality.

It was left behind during the battle with Habitus. Although Zhang Heng's plan for him was successful, it also angered Habitus. After that, the latter did not hold back and cut his sword directly. Chest, he had acquired fighting physiology. Fortunately, after a doctor's examination, it was confirmed that his ribs were not broken.

Zhang Heng did not follow Varro's words. Instead, he pointed to a corridor on the south side and asked, "Where does that lead to?"

Varro poked his head out and took a look and said, "It should be a steam bath."

The hot steam bath is similar to a modern sauna. It is the hottest place in the entire bathhouse. The temperature can reach 60 degrees. A steady stream of hot air comes out from the gaps between the walls and the floor. If you don't wear sandals, you can easily get burned.

"Did you see anything suspicious when you came in?" Zhang Heng then asked.

"Suspicious things...what do you mean?" Varro was a little confused.

There were not many gladiators taking a bath in the bathroom at this time. Apart from Zhang Heng and Varo, there were only two other people taking a bath in the hot water bathroom, but Varo knew that Zhang Heng was not asking about those two people.

Zhang Heng didn't explain much. Seeing that the other two people were concentrating with their eyes closed, Zhang Heng didn't ask them and walked directly to the hot bathroom.

His powers of observation have always been very good, especially after living with the Deduction Copy and Sherlock Holmes, but this was also the first time that he had doubts about what he saw with his own eyes.

Because just now, when Varro opened the door, Zhang Heng saw a woman's figure disappearing into the passage leading to the hot bathroom.

According to Varro, the Roman baths once designed different routes for men and women, but not many people followed them. The famous politician and orator Cicero also satirized this phenomenon, lamenting that it was moral corruption, but this still happened There is absolutely no stopping the enthusiasm of women and men to enter the bath together.

However, this kind of thing will not happen in the bathhouse of the Gladiator School, because according to regulations, this is the place where gladiators and trainers bathe, while the female slaves working in the Gladiator School will bathe in the bathhouse outside.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Zhang Heng would not be able to see any woman here.

What's more, the other party was dressed very strangely. He was wearing a black robe and wrapped himself tightly. At first glance, he didn't belong to the school.

How did such a person pass the inspection of the gatekeeper guarding the bathhouse gate, and how did he pass through the swimming pool and yard in front and walk in under the eyes of the gladiators who were wrestling for fitness?

Zhang Heng couldn't imagine the possibility of this.

An ordinary person might have forgotten this matter, but Zhang Heng instinctively sensed that the other party was probably coming towards him, so he did not walk into the hot tub like Varro, but towards that person. The woman in black robe disappeared through the hot air passage.

"Are you going to the hot tub directly? Why don't you get used to it in the hot tub first?" Varro shouted behind him, "Be careful of fainting from the heat."

"Thank you for reminding me, you can take a bath first and don't worry about me." Zhang Heng said as he walked into the south corridor.

He could clearly feel that as he walked in, the temperature around him was also rising. Compared to the heat wave coming out of the hot bathroom, the water vapor in the hot bathroom was nothing at all, and even made people feel uncomfortable. There is a slight cooling sensation.

This is a veritable sauna. Its function is very similar to the previous fitness courtyard. The ancient Romans seemed to believe that sweating could expel venom and diseases from the body. Therefore, whether it is wrestling or this steam bath, they are all for Let people in the shower sweat more.

Zhang Heng walked through the long and narrow corridor and entered this circular room. Because the floor was overheated, he would be burned if he lay down here in a short time. In order to allow bathers to rest, the craftsmen who built the bathhouse were There are many niches in the middle of the wall.

But on the other hand, these niches will also block the view of outsiders, but fortunately Zhang Heng can judge whether there is anyone in the niche from the stretched out legs.

He walked to the first occupied niche, where a gladiator was sitting. The latter probably felt that he had steamed enough. Before Zhang Heng could reach him, he stood up and left the niche, facing the hot water outside. Walking to the bathroom, when the two of them turned sideways, he nodded slightly to Zhang Heng as a greeting.

Zhang Heng returned the greeting and then walked to the next place.

However, the legs sticking out of the niche this time did not seem to be the target Zhang Heng was looking for. They were a pair of somewhat skinny and shriveled legs, which also indicated that its owner was an old man.

Zhang Heng didn't know why. Although he had never seen the face under the black robe, he seemed to be sure that it was a young woman.

why is that? Zhang Heng frowned, always feeling that something was not right, that he seemed to have missed something.

At this time, an old voice sounded, "Did you leave anything here?"

Zhang Heng took another half step forward and finally saw the person in the niche clearly.

It was the old Persian trainer who he met when he first entered the gladiator school. The latter was also dressed the same as him, wearing only a corset and sitting in an alcove. It's like it's blending into the stone wall behind it.

Now that the other party spoke, Zhang Heng asked politely, "Have you been sitting here before? Have you seen a woman wearing a black robe?"

According to common sense, if the woman in black robe is such a conspicuous target, if she really enters the hot bathroom, the people inside will definitely not turn a blind eye, and those who have not seen her will probably ask him if he is dazzled.

However, the reaction of the old trainer in the alcove was very strange. He neither said he had seen nor doubted Zhang Heng's eyes, but said calmly, "Can you describe her appearance?"

"I couldn't see her face."

"What about other places? For example, what is she holding in her hand? Is there anything else on her body besides the black robe?"
