Soon, the carriage stops, the people get out, arrive at the Athens arena side gate. 不多时,马车停下,众人下了车,来到雅典角斗场的侧门。 Suye looked at all around, the giant arena outer wall same towers just like the mountain, the blocking sunlight, the black shadow falls on the street, making the street seem even more cool. 苏业看了看四周,巨大的角斗场外墙宛如高山一样耸立,遮挡阳光,黑色的影子落在街道上,让街道显得越发阴凉。 Not far away, old man of bending the waist back walks slowly, in the hand carries the iron hook that the black red stain is sticking. 不远处,一个弯腰弓背的老人缓缓走来,手里拎着黑红污迹糊住的铁钩。 „We go, taste the Gladiator breakfast.” Roland said. “我们进去,尝一尝角斗士的早餐。”罗隆道。 Side gate that one line of five people enter arena, dark magic light according to corridor. 一行五人进入角斗场的侧门,幽暗的魔法灯光照着走廊。 „Here is under of auditorium, to be economical, the magic lamp adjusts specially secretly......” Roland to walk while patiently is Suye explained. “这里是观众席的下方,为了节省,魔法灯调得特别暗……”罗隆一边走一边耐心地为苏业解释。 „Cafeteria.” “食堂到了。” Passes through the dark corridor, the people goes to a not that gloomy hall, here suspends everywhere is seeming the blackened by smoke table, almost cannot see the wood/blockhead the bottom color. 走过阴暗的长廊,众人来到一座不那么阴暗的大厅,这里到处摆着好似被熏黑的桌子,几乎看不到木头的底色。 Hundreds of people are sitting in various places, some calmly are eating meal, some chatted, but also some do not know that is cursing anything. 数以百计的人正坐在各处,有的静静吃着饭,有的说说笑笑,还有的不知道在咒骂什么。 „Walks, we bring something from the kitchen to the table. ordinary Gladiator can only eat the barley gruel, good point can increase the fine bonedust, most outstanding Gladiator will also eat the beef. Each time before City-State competition, our dining are the highest standards, moreover all diet rests must according to Gladiator comes, this is to the Gladiator most basic respect.” “走,我们去打饭。普通角斗士只能吃大麦粥,好一点的能添加精致的骨粉,最优秀的角斗士还会吃到牛肉。每次城邦赛会前,我们的用餐都是最高标准,而且一切饮食休息都要按照角斗士的来,这算是对角斗士最基本的尊重。” Five people grasp large earthenware bowl, lines up to bring something from the kitchen to the table. 五个人手持大陶碗,排队去打饭。 Brings something from the kitchen to the table now fast and now slow, the chef scoops up in the bonedust beef barley gruel earthenware bowl most of the time directly, occasionally will stop, has a look person who brings something from the kitchen to the table. 打饭忽快忽慢,厨师大多数时候直接把骨粉牛肉大麦粥舀进陶碗里,偶尔会停下来,看看来打饭的人。 Suye and Roland bring something from the kitchen to the table, the chef looked earnestly, scoops up full porridge/gruel to two people. 苏业和罗隆打饭的时候,厨师认真看了看,才给两人舀满粥。 „It is estimated that suspected that we are the child who lives hand to mouth to eat......” the Roland smile said. “估计怀疑咱俩是混饭吃的孩子……”罗隆微笑道。 Five people looked for a spatial table, slowly ate. 五个人找了一张空桌子,慢慢吃起来。 Suye ate gruel, has beef in broken bits, the fish, is only the taste is rough. 苏业喝了一口粥,有细碎的牛肉,还有鱼肉,只是口感粗砺。 In the gruel has the simple food primary taste, sending out the fragrance, the long time cannot be sick of eating. 粥里有纯朴的食物原味,散发浅浅的芬芳,久吃不腻。 The people are eating meal, a thin and tall man walked, be with smile on the face, patted the shoulder of Roland. 众人正吃着饭,一个瘦高的男人走了过来,面带微笑,拍了拍罗隆的肩膀。 Roland looked up that person of one, treated as has not seen, to continue to eat meal. 罗隆抬头看了那人一眼,当作没看见,继续吃饭。 Suye raised the head, time that man smiles, in eye like hiding poisonous snake. 苏业抬起头,那个男人笑起来的时候,眼里像藏着毒蛇。 „My younger brother is not as skillful as others, I will not say anything. However, this City-State competition, if bumps into, I will make you understand, you should not call Roland.” The men turn around to leave with a smile, wears the guy of leather clothing with four figure tall that he leaves together, the back of each guy is quite firmly broad thick, probably half city wall. “我弟弟技不如人,我不会说什么。不过,这次城邦赛会,如果碰上,我会让你明白,你不该叫罗隆。”男人笑着转身离开,跟着他一起离开的还有四个身形高大身穿皮衣的大汉,每个大汉的后背都极为宽阔坚厚,像是半堵城墙。 Suye looks to Roland. 苏业看向罗隆。 „His younger brother had been injured by me, one of the two family.” Roland does not care at to say. “他弟弟被我打伤过,两个家族之一。”罗隆满不在乎道。 „Another?” Suye asked. “另一家呢？”苏业问。 Roland puts down earthenware bowl, turns the head to take a fast look around the hall, the complexion is cold gradually, then said: „In there.” 罗隆放下陶碗,转头扫视大厅,面色渐冷,然后道:“就在那里。” Suye looks following the line of sight of Roland, reveals the color of surprise. 苏业循着罗隆的视线望去,露出诧异之色。 There sits five people, except for one is the typical Greece Aristocrat's image, another four all wear the black cape, covers the body. 那里坐着五个人,除了一个是典型的希腊贵族的形象,另外四个全都身穿黑色的斗篷,将身体盖住。 „I have known that forms four country bastard corps. Egypt Mummy warrior, Persia's magic lamp old black iron, Nordic Countries Beast Soul mage and Beast Soul Berserker.” Roland said. “我已经知道,那家组成四国杂种战队。埃及的木乃伊战士,波斯的神灯老黑铁,北欧的兽魂法师和兽魂狂战士。”罗隆道。 „Beast Soul Berserker?” Suye asked. “兽魂狂战士？”苏业问。 „Refers to being able to integrate the Beast Soul strength Berserker, is quite scarce, but is very powerful, once integrates Beast Soul to be basically equal to enhancing a level, is equivalent to bronze.” Roland said. “是指能融入兽魂力量的狂战士,比较稀少,但十分强大,一旦融入兽魂基本等于提高一个位阶,相当于青铜。”罗隆道。 „Comes to you?” Suye asked. “冲着你来的？”苏业问。 „Therefore I always thought that does not do right by you.” Helpless Roland said. “所以我总觉得对不住你。”罗隆无奈道。 Suye looked at that four person one eyes. 苏业又看了那四个人一眼。 „It doesn't matter, happen to personally experiences the strength of various countries, meets in a rush to be better than later suddenly.” Suye said. “无所谓,正好亲自体验一下各国的力量,比以后突然遇到手忙脚乱更好。”苏业道。 „You are positive and progressive forever.” The Roland smile said. “你永远积极向上。”罗隆微笑道。 „Is I makes oneself be positive and progressive forever.” Suye said. “是我让自己永远积极向上。”苏业道。 Three Black Iron Warrior looking pensive. 三个黑铁战士若有所思。 Finished eating the food, Roland sets out. 吃完饭,罗隆起身。 „Walks, leading you to stroll arena, it is estimated that you first time are came.” “走,带你逛逛角斗场,估计你是第一次来。” „Un.” Suye selected under one, in the eye were more than a curiosity before. “嗯。”苏业点了一下头,眼中比之前多了一丝好奇。 Under the dim light, Roland walks while explains. 在昏暗的灯光下,罗隆一边走一边讲解。 „gladiator battle is that side Rome passes on, the Greece atmosphere and Rome are different, without is so frigid. Greece has the arena city to be few, even if there are, does not launch gladiator battle like Rome frequently, moreover few deceased people, only if hostile Aristocrat solves the dispute on arena. Naturally, Sparta is an exception, Sparta Gladiator blue comes from the indigo plant but is bluer than the plant itself, the deep love to gladiator battle have surpassed Rome.” “角斗是罗马那边传过来的,希腊的风气和罗马有所不同,没那么惨烈。希腊有角斗场的城市很少,就算有,也不像罗马那样频繁展开角斗,而且很少死人,除非是敌对的贵族在角斗场上解决纠纷。当然,斯巴达是个例外,斯巴达的角斗士青出于蓝胜于蓝,他们对角斗的热爱已经超出罗马。” „Athens is rich in magician and philosopher, the Gladiator position is not high. The Gladiator Academy scale is not big, the biggest several 200-300 people, cannot amount to something completely, is unable to place on a par with our Plato Academy and Aristocrat Academy. Not like Rome and Sparta, Gladiator Academy frequently several thousand people.” “雅典盛产魔法师和哲学家,角斗士的地位不高。角斗士学院规模也不大,最大的几家也就200-300人,完全上不了台面,跟咱们的柏拉图学院和贵族学院无法相提并论。不像罗马和斯巴达,角斗士学院动辄数千人。” Leaves the cafeteria, the group arrive at the corridor, one side is one row with jail room. 离开食堂,一行人来到走廊,一侧是一排跟监牢似的的房间。 „You should know, many Gladiator family backgrounds are very bad, is in the majority by the captive, prisoner, robber and having no way out, therefore the place of Gladiator housing defers to the prison to establish from the beginning, the time long became the custom. Naturally, these free Gladiator do not need to receive this crime......” “你应该知道,许多角斗士的出身很差,以俘虏、囚犯、强盗和走投无路者居多,所以一开始角斗士居住的地方都按照监狱设置,时间久了就成了习俗。当然,那些自由角斗士不用受这份罪……” Then, Roland brings Suye to stroll then the important place, for example deposits the weapon storage room, with by the taking a bath big pool, the place of special collection residual...... finally, walks toward the bright circular arch front door. 接着,罗隆带着苏业逛便重要的地方,比如存放武器装备的储存室,用以洗澡的大池子,专门收集残渣的地方……最后,向明亮的圆拱大门走去。 Walks from the dark construction, the beautiful dawn shines, since Suye narrows the eye slightly, carefully looks at the far ultra imagination huge circular arena. 从黑暗的建筑中走出去,明媚的晨光照耀,苏业微微眯起眼,仔细看着远超想象的巨大圆形角斗场。 The hard arena location just like the small-scale plain, all around is a safety net, again above is the multi-step rock seat, layer by layer, dense and numerous, must fold the space simply. 坚硬的角斗场场地宛如小型平原,四周是防护网,再之上是阶梯式岩石坐席,一层又一层,密密麻麻,简直要叠到天上。 In terminal of seat, rows of visor awnings. 在坐席的末端,还有一排排遮阳棚。 The arena due north, balcony is prominent, same hangs the midair like eagle’s beak. 角斗场的正北方,露台突出,如同鹰嘴一样高悬半空。 Stands on arena, Suye felt that oneself seems like the small sesame seed grain in cauldron. 站在角斗场上,苏业感到自己像是大锅里的小芝麻粒。 „Shocks? I just saw also unbelievable. This is Legendary mage and Hero constructs personally, if it is said sits one by one, can be filled with over a million people. It is said vision slightly not good, if sits in the outermost, looks radically does not clear the person. This is besides Sparta God of War arena, Greece biggest arena......” “震撼吧？我刚看到的时候也难以置信。这是传奇法师和英雄们亲手建造,据说如果人挤人坐着,能坐满上百万人。据说视力稍微不好的如果坐在最外侧,根本看不清场中的人。这是除斯巴达的战神角斗场外,希腊最大的角斗场……” Bang bang bang...... 砰砰砰…… Suye goes following the prestige, sees in the arena edge, is standing erect many stake, many people are grasping the wooden sword or the lance, attacks stake. 苏业循声望去,就见在角斗场的边缘,竖立着许许多多的木桩,众多人正手持木剑或长矛,攻击木桩。 „They should soon participate in Gladiator of performance, is warming up......” Roland to aim at the arena south side saying that „we go to there, there seat to participate in us of City-State competition sets up, to big balcony, can happen to make influential figure see clearly us. The edge in the field, compared with looks at clear in the auditorium..” “他们应该是即将参与表演的角斗士,正在热身……”罗隆指向角斗场的南边道,“我们去那里,那里的座位是为参与城邦赛会的我们而设立,正好对着大露台,可以让大人物们看清我们。在场内边缘,比在观众席看得清晰。。” „I think before the City-State competition is the sports competition.” Suye said. “我之前以为城邦赛会是体育竞技。”苏业道。 „Without the means that the project of sports competition are too many, conducts takes many days, drags in lots of people, afterward various City-State did not conduct, only conducts the sports competition of regional, flood Greece or entire world. Greece at least Great Competition, you have certainly the opportunity participation in any case every year. However, mage suits the project of participation to be few. After all in many projects, once allows mage to use magic, that warrior has no way to play. Therefore, most projects limit the magic level that mage can use, causing mage only to participate in a battle kind of project, or only participates in a mage kind of competition.” “没办法,体育赛会的项目太多,一举办就要好多天,兴师动众,后来各城邦都不举办了,只举办地区性、泛希腊或全世界的体育竞技。反正希腊每年都至少有一次大赛会,你一定有机会参与。不过,法师适合参与的项目很少。毕竟在许多项目中,一旦允许法师使用魔法,那战士没法玩。所以,大多数项目都限制法师能使用的魔法位阶,导致法师只能参与战斗类项目,或者只参与法师类比赛。” „Has the opportunity I to try.” Suye said. “有机会我去试试。”苏业道。 „I have a feeling, in the future you can sweep away all competitions.” Roland said with a smile. “我有种感觉,将来你能横扫所有赛会。”罗隆笑道。 „Dream must have, if realized.” Suye said. “梦想总要有的,万一实现了呢。”苏业道。 Smile slowly on Roland face dissipates, Suye one has not smiled all day, before is completely different. 罗隆脸上的笑容慢慢消散,苏业一整天都没有笑,和以前完全不一样。 „We first find the place to warm up, after the opening ceremony ended, must draw lots.” Roland said. “我们先找地方热热身,等开幕式结束后,要进行抽签。”罗隆道。 „Competition normal order?” “赛会还是正常顺序吧？” „Right, does not change. The opening ceremony, the Gladiator performance, is one's turn us to go on stage. Respectively is battle Demon Beast, battle Prisoners of War, finally is family to the war. Tomorrow will conduct final Champion games.” “对,不会变。开幕式,角斗士表演,然后轮到我们上场。分别是战斗魔兽,战斗战俘囚犯,最后是家族对战。明天会进行最后的冠军。” „Un.” Suye nods. “嗯。”苏业点了点头。 Suye walks, while looks at huge arena. 苏业一边走,一边看着巨大的角斗场。 Dawn according to half arena bright yellow resembles egg-yolk, other half in shadow. 晨光照得一半角斗场黄澄澄的像蛋黄,另一半则在阴影之中。 Suye warmed-up gently, then sits on the seat, puts out Magic Book. 苏业只是轻轻活动了身体,便坐在座位上,拿出魔法书。 Here is located in the edge in infield, behind is several meters high wall, above the wall is the safety net and auditorium. 这里位于内场的边缘,后面是数米高的墙壁,墙壁之上是防护网和观众席。 Like placing oneself in bowl bottom. 如同置身于碗底。 „I to arena, just finished eating the food, you when?” “我到角斗场了,刚吃完饭,你什么时候到？” Suye gives Paros round of magic letter. 苏业给帕洛丝发魔法信。 Crossed some little time, Paros responded. 过了好一会儿,帕洛丝才回应。 „I will arrive before the opening ceremony.” “我会在开幕式前抵达。” Suye raised the head, looks to the dead ahead. 苏业抬起头,看向正前方。 In there auditorium has prominent big balcony, balcony was manufactured the huge dragon's head shape. 那里的观众席上有一处突出的大露台,露台被制作成巨大的龙头状。 The dragon's head opens big mouth, the giant tongue inclines slightly, these seats on the tongue of Giant Dragon. 龙头张开大嘴,巨大的舌头稍稍倾斜,那些座位就在巨龙的舌头上。 That is the mouth of famous Giant Monster, called Demi-God balcony, slightly big arena had like this big balcony. 那是著名的巨怪之口,也叫半神露台,稍大的角斗场都有这样的大露台。 Feeds specially Great Aristocrat to take a seat. 专供大贵族就坐。 In Athens, only then the Demi-God Family person can sit there. 在雅典,只有半神家族的人才能坐在那里。 Hero does not have the qualifications. 英雄也没资格。 With the lapse of time, the increasing number of people appear, in arena neutralizes in the auditorium. 随着时间的推移,越来越多的人出现在角斗场中和观众席上。 Quick, some audience yelled Gladiator name that is warming up. 很快,一部分观众大叫一些正在热身的角斗士的名字。 Was called Gladiator of name to set out, or holds up weapon, either reveals the healthy physique, either angrily roars loudly, can always trigger yelling of audience. 被叫名字的角斗士起身,或举起武器,或亮出健美的身姿,或大声怒吼,总能引发观众的喊叫。 Suye looked at these to wear various Gladiator of outlandish clothes, cannot clarify anything is Thrace Gladiator, anything was the fish warrior, anything was rewiring Gladiator, anything was hunting and killing. 苏业看了看那些身穿奇装异服的各种角斗士,至今也弄不清什么是色雷斯角斗士,什么是鱼斗士,什么是重装角斗士,什么是猎杀者。 The net warrior is actually very good to recognize, in the hand takes the person of big net is being. But presents the scissors, protector wait/etc Gladiator branches time, is very difficult to distinguish clearly. 倒是网斗士很好认,手里拿着大网的人就是。但出现剪刀手、保护者等等角斗士分支的时候,还是很难分清。 gladiator battle develops now , like boxing and wrestling, becomes an athletics class movement, but the degree of hazard is higher. 角斗发展到现在,已经和拳击、摔跤一样,成为一种竞技类运动,只不过危险程度更高而已。 When Sun illuminates entire arena, people were also filled with arena, the cauldron that entire arena boils probably, the disorderly sound makes people agitated. 当太阳照亮整座角斗场的时候,人们也挤满了角斗场,整座角斗场像是沸腾的大锅,杂乱的声音让人烦躁。 The participating seat that Suye is at was also filled with each family person. 苏业所在的参赛席位也挤满了各个家族的人。 Suye swept one, discovered that several in Aristocrat that in Black Iron Trial has met, both sides have no look exchange mostly. 苏业扫了一眼,发现几个在黑铁试炼中见过面的贵族,双方大部分没有任何眼神交流。 Only then north wind family Gerner nods to Suye. 只有北风家族的格尔纳向苏业点了点头。 Suye also nods gently, younger male cousin who this seems like Paros. 苏业也轻轻点头,这位好像是帕洛丝的表弟。 „How many Hero family on field has? Gerner came, doesn't Hahnas come?” Suye asked. “场上有几个英雄家族？格尔纳都来了,哈恩纳斯不来吗？”苏业问。
