Are you kidding me? I have come to this era, and I have become the beloved son of Rome and the beast. Although it is possible, at worst, I can close my eyes and start my life again, but it is really unacceptable to choose to end it like this. Well, even the trilobites, which had been suppressed by various climates for so long, were like God giving a middle finger before they became extinct. How could I give up at will? !

What's more, the memories in my mind have no impact on me. Please, when did I become an ordinary person? Could it be that this life ended in such a frustrating way, and that I would look down on myself?

As long as you don't want to be a child, your mind will naturally mature quickly in a short period of time.

To take a breath, Lucy waved her shield in the middle of the room for training.

At the same time, a carriage was approaching quickly outside Rome, and little Agrippina was sitting in it. After her brother died, her exile order naturally ended. After ending her exile, This lady with noble blood will naturally return to live in Rome. At the same time, little Agrippina is also eyeing the current emperor.

Today's emperor can be regarded as the uncle of little Agrippina, but it doesn't matter. What little Agrippina pursues, yearns for, and loves are rights. Therefore, as long as she can obtain rights, there is nothing she cannot do. , such as sending his son to Rome to serve as a hostage, although there is also a reason why he doesn't like his son.

Now for the sake of rights, of course she can also respect her own rights to attract her uncle and become the queen. In order not to become a being like her mother who may be slaughtered at any time, and in order to regain the rights of their family that they can always Master the imperial power! !

Agrippina the Great was the daughter of the famous Roman commander Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, and her mother was the first Roman emperor Augustus, Julia, the daughter of Octavian. Augustus trusted her father Agrippa so much that he virtually shared power with him, and Agrippina married the Roman general Germanicus Caesar.

Agrippina took part in many of her husband's military campaigns, and after Germanicus's death in 19 AD, Agrippina came under the influence of Augustus's successor, the suspicious Emperor Tiberius. Suspicious because her children might inherit the throne.

Agrippina the Great was exiled to a small island in Pandatria in 30 AD. She showed a very unyielding attitude and committed suicide on a hunger strike in 33 AD. She was considered the most chaste and noble in the ancient world. one of the women.

It's a pity that little Agrippina did not inherit her mother's good character. At this time, she was still thinking about how to attract the highest emperor in the empire. She didn't even worry at all. Because of her brother's death, she was sent to her brother's house. What will happen to the son next to him?

The soldier driving the carriage looked at this woman who was considered to have power and prestige in the empire, and recalled that not long ago he had reassembled the bones of his brother Caligula, cremated him, and buried him to gain another wave of fame. You can immediately guess that this woman definitely has extraordinary means. As a carriage driver, you may be able to hug her.

In this case, just go with it. If their gossip is not wrong, of course you need to be a little more vague in your words. Just don't let yourself make mistakes no matter what.

"Ms. Agrippina, do you know? If you go to visit the Arena this afternoon, you may find something unexpected and you may gain something."

Little Agrippina narrowed her eyes, held her chin with her hand, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What?" Is it possible that the arena, which has not changed much all this time, still has its own enemies?

Chapter 217: About to enter the arena of blood and death

Lucy, who was in the single room of the arena, frowned when she saw the food that was different from the usual food. This food was obviously the food of the warriors in the arena. You must know that the food of the arena is quite special for those warriors. He not only cares about having enough food, but also deliberately provides different amounts of food for each soldier, and even mixes meat and vegetables with even nutrition.

Some famous fighters even have their own customized meals to ensure that they are at their best when they take the field.

It can be said that the lives of fighters in the gladiatorial arena are much better than that of most slaves. Of course, this is only limited to those fighters who come out of the gladiator academy. If they are locked up here, they will be ready to die at any time to please the audience. Criminals don't get this kind of treatment, unless the prisoner can stand out.

The probability of such a successful standout is really very low, because such prisoners usually arrange for them difficult opponents to deal with, or directly arrange it into an escape match. In the latter match, it is even more difficult to survive. .

In the end, everyone will die in the first gladiatorial fight. Even if they are lucky enough to survive the first gladiator, they will die from their injuries. After all, all the excellent medical resources in the gladiatorial arena are given to serious gladiators. Yes, only through fighting from the Gladiator Academy, or actively joining the warriors in the angle, can you obtain excellent medical resources and balanced food.

People's cheers, as well as nutrition and love, are all for those serious gladiators. Hehe, how can these criminals enjoy these honors?

As for the more special ones, people like Lucy have noble blood. They say that the prisoner is not a prisoner, but it seems that they are almost innocent. The life and death fights that they often face in the arena are punishment for them. Maybe one day The emperor would suddenly remember them, or have no objection to them anymore, and pardon them.

Otherwise, I'm afraid they will only be able to leave the arena on the day they die.

Looking at the nutritionally balanced food in front of him, if it were other children, they would probably only think about whether the recipe has been changed today. What Lucy saw was that he was probably going to play this afternoon. With his status, he should There won't be any fatal situation, but now is the day when the new emperor has just taken office. At this time, he singles himself out...

This battle will definitely not be easy.

As for why I didn’t tell myself in advance, I was afraid that I wanted to catch myself off guard and make myself suffer so that I could understand that even if I would not suffer any unfair treatment during this period of house arrest, it would definitely not be the same as I once was. When you want to be spontaneous.

The only difference between me and those in prison is that I don't have shackles on my hands.

In the final analysis, it was because of everyone's fear of Caligula.

"No one understands you after all...uncle."

Not long after lunch, a soldier came to the door of Lucy's room, knocked on the door respectfully and walked in, holding a gold mask in his hand, "Master Lucius, although I am surprised, but. ....”

Lucy raised her hand and waved it gently. Her eyes, which were extremely mature and calm compared to before, told the soldiers that he understood what would happen next. After all, it was not these soldiers who gave the order. , even if you hate and want revenge, the target of revenge is not these people.

On the one hand, he does not have the strength and status to resist now, and on the other hand, he does not want to embarrass these soldiers. After all, he may have to deal with these soldiers for a long time in the future.

Selling well now is not a bad thing.

I am not one of those willful little devils, dragons, who can be big or small, can ascend or hide; if they are big, they can stir up clouds and spit out mist, while if they are small, they can hide and hide their form; if they rise, they can soar in the universe, and if they are hidden, they can lurk in the waves. Inside.

A real man can bend and stretch, and he can endure for a while, so that he can be glorious for a lifetime.

As a result, the armor-like mask on the face and most of the face took his own huge specially made shield. Huang on the side reflected his current appearance in the mirror. Except for the blond hair and olive green eyes, he Most of his face has been covered. If you are interested, it is not difficult to know your identity.

This is also to make it easier to please the new emperor and the people around the new emperor, and the greater role of this mask is actually a fig leaf on his face. After all, from a blood perspective, he can become a noble, and one day he can regain his identity. The warrior wearing the mask has nothing to do with him.

Lu Xi was able to go to the arena calmly because he was a reincarnation and understood his current situation. However, not everyone who boarded the arena had such a calm mind, or It’s soaring courage.

After all, he is just a child. No matter how much he competes, he will not perform too well, unless those nobles only want to see bloody and cruel one-sided bloodshed. In other words, he should appear as an appetizer, that is, in the competition. Those dedicated gladiators' gorgeous battles preceded the opening act of the robot nature.

Looking around, the other people who were about to appear were all brats about the same age as me. Their wrists and ankles still had traces of shackles. From the look of their hands clasped together in prayer, you could tell that these were so-called Christian believers. .

Luci doesn't hate these Christians, but he doesn't like them either. To a certain extent, these guys are really overbearing. If Rome is tolerant, then these guys are exclusive, but everyone has their own firm beliefs. , as long as you don't offend yourself, logically you shouldn't care.

But their curses and resentments seem to be strengthening the beast that is entrenched under the city and may swallow the entire city at any time.

Because of this, Luci could only show indifference to these so-called Christian believers.

To care too much is to be biased against Rome, but if you don't care, you will feel a little bit awkward in your heart, so just leave it like that and pretend you haven't seen anything. According to their beliefs, if this is a necessary ordeal, Then they must step through it.

Unlike me, these children were only handed out a dagger, an ordinary dagger and a wooden shield, and then the gate in front of them was about to slowly open.

The afternoon sun was a little dazzling for a while.

Chapter 218: Don’t believe in tears in the arena

"Lord, please bless us and let us go to heaven after we have experienced the painful ordeal of the baptism of death."

"Lord, please protect us so that when the pain of death comes, we can bear it calmly."

"Lord, your most faithful believer is here to plead, please bring down your wrath, ah——!"

Even though there is no cross in hand, even though they are just some children, they are still praying here. Unfortunately, the last child obviously does not understand the situation. Now they are lambs that will be slaughtered at any time. In order to survive at this time, they should keep their mouths shut. It is better to be mentally prepared.

The boy who prayed to the gods to reduce his anger was directly hit by the spears of the soldiers on the side. Being severely attacked by the weapons in the hands of these Roman soldiers was enough to cause a relatively serious impact. I am afraid that the boy will not be able to pass the following gladiatorial fight. .

Lucy took the lead to walk towards the sunny exit, while the other Christian children were forced onto the playing field bit by bit by the soldiers with their spears.

What could be heard was extremely noisy discussions. Those nobles were wearing golden jewelry, which was shining brightly in the sun. People couldn't open their eyes or look up. In this case, Luci simply stopped paying attention to these. Instead, the nobles began to observe their entire environment.

At first glance, there is no cover on the stone flat land, and there are several arches around it that are similar to the door he came out of. However, in this qualifying competition, I am afraid there will be no one else besides children like them, even if the Romans are there again. No matter how crazy you are, you won't be crazy enough to let children kill each other.

The gladiators who fight each other are all teenagers at least. After all, those warriors who can win consecutively will be praised by many women. Some women will even feel proud of having a child with a warrior who often wins consecutively. He is proud of himself, so generally young people who can participate in confrontations between people already have that ability.

That is to say, what they have to face this time is either fighting with wild beasts or escaping. Since this battle has its own existence, if it is eliminated one by one if it is not a fatal situation, then it can only be a battle with wild beasts. .

Lucy tightened her shield. She didn't know whether it was all of them dealing with an adult beast, or a group of them dealing with a group of young beasts.

In the audience, after hearing the coachman's suggestion, the little Agrippina who came here of course saw the masked boy at the first moment, and instantly understood who the soldier driving the carriage was. What did you mean? In fact, she didn't know that her brother liked her child so much on the way.

But because it was a child that he didn't like, he didn't care where the child ended up after his brother died. Now it turns out that he was sent to this arena, which is not bad, because That child is bleeding with his own blood, so he shouldn't die here.

But it is impossible to live a happy life. Just let this child suffer here for a few years. It doesn't matter if he dies. The only child he recognizes is Nero!

The door over there slowly opened, and a group of wild beast cubs that had been starved for a long time were released. Of course they were cubs, but they were at least somewhat adult in size and had a certain fighting capacity. If not, Wouldn't it be better to deliver food to these children? People in the arena are not so innocent and kind.

Oh, you're wrong, there is no innocence in the arena.

Later, before those real gladiators came here, they were all stained with the blood of their companions in the Gladiator Academy.

Innocence, this word here is simply a super funny Roman joke.

Don't think that there are no intrigues in this arena.

Most of them are wild dogs and wolves, and there are two tigers that don't look particularly strong. In order to ensure that every performance in the arena is exciting, even wild animals have to be screened. It seems that these have not grown up yet. The cubs that became adult beasts were directly killed by the eliminated group. It seemed a bit wasteful to use them as opponents for children like them.

Both sides have not grown up yet, so it seems to be interesting to see who the cub is stronger.

But soon Lucy's olive green eyes got bigger, and another small golden eye came into his field of vision. Even if you are so hungry that you can't stand those people, you will never mistake them. That's you. After taking care of a lion cub for a year, he named it Gold.

That's right. Those people wanted to erase all the existence of Emperor Caligula. Even if they sent themselves here, their pet gold would naturally not be much better.

As a lion, Gold could have grown mighty and strong, but it seemed that after leaving him, the child didn't eat much at all, so he was probably given up and thrown into such an appetizing competition.

"You don't need to kill all the beasts. As long as you can persist for 6 hourglasses, your victory will be considered."

But it's not that simple. Children of this age are basically powerless. In addition, those beasts have been hungry for a long time and will be very crazy. Even if they are bitten, the future will be ruined. There is a possibility of death due to the attack of some viruses.

If you have to kill all these beasts to survive, it may also activate the courage of these children to fight. Now that they are given a chance to survive, how can anyone fight with all their strength? ? Leaving a glimmer of hope for these children doesn't mean leaving them a piece of luck.

Perhaps the struggle of human nature is also one of the tricks performed in this arena. After all, as long as the cubs of these beasts are full, they may not continue to attack. So will children who believe in Christ sacrifice their companions? Or are they working together to exclude Luci, who is obviously different from them?

There was not much time to think about it, the wild dog had already charged.

Luci slammed the shield on the ground and got ready to fight. Compared with the Roman square shield, the front shield was more like the knight shield of later generations. At the same time, special mechanisms were made on both sides of the shield as long as it rotated by itself. The blade can pop out, making the entire shield's periphery look like a sharp machete.

In order to make good use of this heavy shield, Luci even had armor specially engraved with special patterns on his qualifications.

It just so happens that this time, let’s regard it as my own combat assessment.

Chapter 219: First Battle

rush--! !

The shield in his hand was thrust forward. The shield with the patterns of lions and roses collided fiercely with a wild dog puppy. The surface of the shining shield was instantly stained with some blood. At the same time, the wild dog's His teeth fell to the ground and he let out a cry of pain. For a moment, the surrounding beast cubs did not dare to continue attacking Lu Xi.

There was no need to let the sharp blade pop out. He raised the shield again and smashed it down hard on the wild dog cub in front. It was like smashing a watermelon. Blood spattered and the painful screams stopped instantly. The bottom of the shield was extremely precise. Destroyed the beast's brain.

Just this action directly shocked everyone around him. The children who originally wanted to crowd out Lu Xi suddenly stopped thinking, and even wanted to hug his thigh. However, other beast cubs He also responded within a short period of time.

Although the shining golden existence in front of me is not easy to mess with, aren't there other existences that can be used as food?

These beasts instantly dispersed around Lucy and flew towards the other children. Lucy quickly walked towards the little lion who was already unsteady when walking, and at the same time, he was dragging the little lion whose head he had shot. The wild dog carcass, no matter what, his gold needs to eat as soon as possible to replenish his physical strength.

The carcass of this wild dog was used as waste.

The little lion with golden hair gave a weak cry after seeing Lucy approaching him. Because his body was too weak, the roar that should have been powerful turned into a cat's cry. It would be okay if the gold was a lioness acting coquettishly, a boy was here talking...

Well, there should be some people who think that wouldn't be better?

The premise is that this feline can actually change shape.

Others were not so lucky. Although they held shields and daggers in their hands, they were still imps who had never fought. This is the same as although the robot has weapons in its hands, it has not been entered into the robot's combat system. In the end, it's all good but useless.

Amidst the prayers and calls to the Lord, blood began to sprinkle on the ground. At the same time, those hungry beings also began to tear the bodies of the children, making the entire arena look extremely bloody for a while, but everyone was There was no sympathy at all because of this. Among the nobles who were spectators in the Colosseum, few had any good feelings toward these Christians.

After all, the overbearing monotheistic belief of these believers and the polytheistic belief of Rome are extremely conflicting.

Although Roman mythology is inherited from Greek mythology, the number and types of gods are much greater than those in Greece. However, this also resulted in Roman generals sometimes needing to go to the temple to pray for blessings for several days in advance before going to war. .

The blood and meat awakened the ferocity of these beasts, and their stomachs became full. Instead of decreasing, the ferocity in them began to increase continuously.

At this moment, in addition to Luci, there are two Christian children huddled on the edge of the arena. These children seem to be expecting the beasts not to discover their existence, but after all, it is difficult for these children to think Realize, the cubs of these beasts are basically the descendants of the beasts in the gladiatorial arena.

Needless to say how ferocious the beasts in the arena are, their cubs naturally inherit the ferocity of their parents. Even if they are just eliminated, they are very strong in the wild to a certain extent. The true birth of They were so weak when they came out that they had been cooked for a long time. How could they wait for them to grow up to this age?

After the two tiger cubs filled their stomachs, they were obviously unwilling to accept their previous failure. They showed a fierce expression again, and their amber eyes stared at Lucy again, as if they wanted to Redeem your previous failures.

Lucio hid his lion boy backwards, and regained his fighting stance. The armor lines on his arms slightly matched the edges of the shield. After all, his power had not yet reached its peak, and he still needed to rely on it now. Inertia and the body serve as fulcrum aids to steer the shield.

These lines are designed to allow the shield to follow a predetermined trajectory when it rotates or moves with its own movements.

One side of the shield was dragging on the ground, but thanks to the fact that the shield was made of expensive metal, it would not be easily worn. It looked like a tiger cub that had pounced on itself, grabbing the handle of the shield. The palm of his hand turned slightly, and while the shield was swung outward, the sharp blade popped out from the edge of the shield.

The shield at this moment was like a heavy sword, easily cutting the tiger in front of him into two.

Looking at the other tiger rushing towards him, he understood that he did not have that much strength to deal with and easily play with the whole shield. Therefore, Luci chose the most energy-saving way, which was to defend and counterattack, using his body to Holding the shield and rushing forward, the whole person showed a developing posture, and then held the shield firmly in front of him.

The whole person was like a small forklift, and even the sharp blade on the side of the shield did not retract immediately.

Bang——!

The shield and another tiger collided directly. Lucy felt the power from the front and stretched out her hand to the mechanism of the shield. With her left hand pulling back, a dagger was instantly pulled out of the shield. He pulled it out, put away the blade on the edge of the shield, and stabbed outward with the dagger in his hand.

The sharply polished dagger easily penetrated the neck of the tiger cub in front of him. With the twisting of his palm, the sound of steel rotating in the bones was heard. The tiger's eyes appeared again in Yanjian, and in a very short time The inside also lost its luster, but the blood was also stained on his hands.

Looking at the blood on his hand, Lucy shook it gently. At this moment, the other beasts around him did not dare to approach at all.

When the hourglass time completely ran out, except for Luci, there was only one living child left on the field. The child still had a deep bite on his arm. There should be no rabies vaccine in this era, right? The remaining person has literally been sentenced to death, and is generally left to wait for death.

Special cleanup crews began to clean up the scene. At the same time, a soldier came to Lu Xi and looked at the lion cub in Lu Xi's arms with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Chapter 220: Seven years

Logically speaking, fighters in the arena are not allowed to keep such pets, but the one in front of me has a special status. What should I do? Adhering to the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, a murderous aura gradually surged in the soldier's body, hoping that the man in front of him would take the initiative to give up the cub in his arms.

Lucy raised her head and looked at the soldier in front of her. Her olive green eyes flashed a flash of scarlet for a moment, which even Lucy herself didn't notice.

The soldier stared at by those red eyes seemed to have seen a demonic dragon, staring at him, and he was stunned. The shock from the soul seemed to completely freeze him in place. The ground is average.

When the soldier reacted, all he saw was Lucy holding the lion and returning to his rest room. As for why he was frozen in place just now, it was as if a small piece of memory had been erased. Just now he was What did you see?
