Chapter 308: Stretching
"First time." Su ye closed the magic book.
"After a few days to rest, let's go to Sparta City. I know where you want to go." Segus laughed.
Suye took a closer look at Segus and found that there was a trace of expectation in his eyes, but his eyes were bright and his heartbeat was steady.
"Okay, I just want to know about Sparta, it's better to have an acquaintance lead the way." Su Ye said.
"I was in two of the five duels you participated in today. Would you like to hear the rules and experience of gladiatorial matches?" Segus said.
Su Ye smiled slightly and said, "I can't ask for it."
Segus smiled, and immediately said: "Then I will tell you about the gladiators in Sparta. We are different from the soft-hearted gladiators in Rome..."
"Different from fighting beasts in other places, our Spartan spectators don't watch fighting beasts to watch people kill monsters, but to watch monsters toss people. So, you must be careful next, because the bronze rank is likely to meet gold Warcraft. I will also participate in your first Warcraft battle. Just ask me if you don’t understand anything. Of course, golden monsters are smart and can’t really kill people. We often call them Warcraft Gladiators, and occasionally they will play. ,Ha ha……"
"The execution match is more cruel. You may not be used to it, but in the end it's still killing people. Who hasn't killed anyone before..."
"A ten-player battle is actually a five-on-five battle. You also have me in your first ten-player battle. There are actually no rules in a ten-player battle. Five people form two teams to fight. Usually, if they are injured, they will withdraw until one party admits defeat... "
"Individual combat is simple, two gladiators fight each other."
"There are also large-scale team battles. Both sides are in the scale of hundreds of people, led by the team leader or also called the centurion. The number of such hundred-man battles is relatively small, but every time there will be a large number of spectators flocking to them, because team battles are often The real battle between the Spartans and the prisoners of war was the most realistic and brutal battle..."
"There were slaughter battles, one or a few fighters, killing unarmed Hilos or prisoners of war..."
"There are also some gladiatorial fights that ask the master to change the terrain, such as forming forests, such as forming various walls, and even siege battles or water battles..."
While Segus was bragging, some gladiators came up and joined the chat.
Halfway through the conversation, the trainer yelled, "You guys, your butts have rotted into the bench, it's time to pull them out!"
The gladiators hurriedly left the cafeteria, entered the arena together, and began to warm up.
Under the translucent blue sky, on the khaki land, the gladiators were sweating profusely, and the noisy voices could be heard endlessly.
Su ye saw that there were also people jogging in the arena. After walking around, he also started jogging. Segus followed Su ye all the time, chattering about things related to gladiators and Sparta.
After jogging, Su ye began to stretch, and the gladiators looked at Su ye curiously.
"Is this the training method of your mages? It's really mysterious." Segus said enviously.
Su Ye smiled and said: "No, I heard it from someone in Lion Harbor. Stretching before exercise can prevent strenuous exercise from hurting the body, such as cramps, and stretching after exercise can stretch the body and make the body more flexible Sex, to relieve physical fatigue. For example, if you exercised strenuously the day before, will some places be sore the next day?"
"This is a common thing." Segus said.
"If you stretch correctly, your soreness will be relieved a lot the next day. If you're fine, you can learn from me and treat it as a magician's training method." Su ye smiled and continued to stretch.
Segus followed suit curiously.
"I don't feel anything." Segus whispered after finishing.
"If your feelings are always right, you are at least a golden warrior now." Su ye looked around after finishing speaking.
Segus thought for a while, then hurriedly said: "You are looking for the place where the magician practiced, go, I will take you there. The magician's magic often destroys the terrain, and its power is difficult to control, so it can only be used in special places. Just now The place we were passing was, look, right there."
"thanks.
"
When Su ye got there, he turned off all his talents and started practicing spells.
According to the content of the textbook, don't pay attention to the final spell-casting effect, but imprint every detail of the entire spell-casting process in your mind. The deeper you understand every detail of magic, the stronger your power will be.
The magicians secretly observed Su ye, and finally nodded slightly. The basic skills of the students of Plato Academy were indeed solid.
Some young mages without the guidance of famous teachers even stared at Su ye, remembering Su ye's every move.
Segus is practicing combat skills in a nearby place.
After half of the magic power was consumed, Suye summoned Di Aotian and Wang Dahammer as guards, found a place where no one was around, and began to meditate to restore his magic power.
After meditating, he found Segus beside him.
"After I practiced my combat skills, I was afraid that your meditation would be disturbed, so I stood by and guarded." Segus said kindly.
Wang Dachui and Di Aotian looked at each other, and curled their lips together with the Black Demon Sheep.
Flatterer!
Suye thanked Segus, and during the break, asked Segus some more about Sparta.
Segus knew everything and said everything.
Around 8:30 in the morning, the horn sounded.
The trained gladiators retreated, all retreating to the edge of the arena.
Most of the gladiators rested, but the novices who practiced against the stakes continued to practice diligently.
Su ye glanced at them, most of them were around his own age, and there were even seven or eight-year-old children.
Seeing Suye looking at those children, Segus said with a smile: "These children are so lucky now. If we go back a few decades, all the children will be sent to the army for training. They will have to undergo the cruelest training since they were young. Going to steal from the Hilo people, you have to compete with other people for food, and the rite of passage is to kill people. It’s much better now, if you don’t want to go to the army, you can train in the arena.”
"Besides barracks and arenas, the Spartans have no other choice?"
"Of course, become a magic apprentice. I will tell you secretly that although we Spartans are hostile to magicians, we still envy you who master all kinds of magical powers. Apart from these three directions, there is no other choice. After all, in In Sparta, even women need to exercise. Moreover, we have many powerful female warriors in Sparta."
"What about craftsmen or merchants?" Su ye asked.
"Before Sparta was all soldiers, all people lived and ate together, and individuals did not leave wealth. Later, the double kings and elders realized that this was unrealistic, so they allowed some injured or poor people to engage in other jobs. Later, they also allowed Outsiders enter Sparta to operate, but their status is relatively low. Of course, if they become bigger, they still deserve people's respect. For example, Master Julius, he is just a black iron, but he has trained countless powerful people for Sparta Warrior, in the eyes of our Spartans, he is equivalent to a general." Segus said.
Su Ye glanced at the auditorium and said, "The gladiatorial competition is about to start, let's get ready."
"Come on, I'll explain it to you in detail."
The two of them came to the gate facing Longkou Terrace. The gate was made of marble with black background and white patterns, and the servant god of Ares, the god of war, was engraved on it.
Su ye recognized the goddess of city destruction, goddess of strife, god of terror, god of trembling, god of panic, and god of fear, in addition to a large number of devil lords.
Segus said: "This is the famous gate of life and death in the arena, we enter from here, and then exit from here..."
The two sat on wooden chairs not far from the Gate of Life and Death. Not long after, thousands of spectators appeared in the auditorium, scattered, like a handful of corn kernels sprinkled on a piece of fertile black soil.
"So few people?" Suye asked.
"The number of viewers exceeds a thousand, which is already very large. After all, it is not a major festival, and there are no gimmicks. It is just a daily gladiatorial match." Segus said.
"I see."
When the time came, the host of the game, wearing a magic beard, enthusiastically introduced today's game, and emphasized that the disciples of Aristotle were also present, and declared that the gladiators of Sparta would definitely be able to bring the masters of the Athenian mages together. The butt was kicked badly, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
Su ye smiled slightly, knowing that the host had already restrained himself. If he wasn't here, he might have said something worse.
There are no grand etiquettes in the daily gladiatorial competitions, but the wooden statue of Ares is carried from the gate of life and death to the terrace of Longkou, where it is set up, blowing and beating all the way, and then the host announced that there will be three to five fighting games this morning.
The first to enter the arena were two black iron fighters, and they fought with colorful flowers, which attracted a lot of applause, and some spectators even threw copper owl or golden peacock coins into the arena.
After a show-like opening, five dark iron warriors fight a silver demon pig.
This silver demon pig was secretly controlled by a magician, and the weapons of the black iron warriors couldn't hurt the silver demon pig at all. The whole process was that the silver demon beasts played tricks on the black iron warriors, often driving them to the sky.
The audience was extremely excited and cheered for the Silver Demon Pig one after another.
The most interesting thing is that sometimes the magic pig salutes the audience, causing the audience to grab a lot of copper owls and throw them down.
Suye, a newcomer to Sparta, couldn't laugh or cry. He couldn't see this kind of thing in other places.
Segus said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know, there is a gladiator academy called 'Warcraft Academy' not far away, and the star gladiators in that academy are not Spartan warriors, but smart monsters. That The repertoire of the Gladiator Academy is not fighting beasts, but monsters juggling people, the more interesting the monsters are, the louder the audience cheers."
"I've learned a lot." Su ye liked this variety of fighting methods very much.
At the end of the first round, the host announced the victory of the Silver Demon Pig, and the audience stood up and cheered.
Then came the second scene, which was a normal beast fight. A group of black iron warriors attacked the bronze monster. The scene was bloody, and the audience's reaction was mediocre.
At the end of the battle, Segus whispered: "It's our turn to play, get ready.".
The two got up, and the other three fighters and chief trainer Ogutu stood by the door.
Julius came over, looked at Suye with a smile, and said, "This is just an ordinary beast fight. The four bronze warriors join you to fight against the silver wood lion. Don't worry, with your strength, you will definitely be able to defeat it. "
