Chapter 27 Caring and Being Careed
……
The next day.
The cave gate of the gladiator's residence is opened, and the slaves who brought food on the good meal day are now here again.
It’s just that today is not a meal day before a big fight, so the slaves only bring some very ordinary food.
For example, the bread and fresh water that Honor gave to Qin Xia and Angron.
Qin Xia paid more attention and found that the slave girl whose son was a gladiator was also here.
"Distribute food and fresh water." The female slave was obviously a slave with a high status. She spoke softly to the slaves she brought with her in a decent manner.
Then each gladiator received food and fresh water.
Qin Xia noticed that the food and fresh water were put in a square package, one for each person.
This means that the food Honor sent out before belongs to him and was thrown out by him, not shared by the gladiators.
"Gentlemen." The female slave saluted the gladiators and said decently, "The regular gladiatorial schedule for the next few days has been released."
As soon as he finished speaking, a look A little boy of only eleven years old walked into the cave.
The boy did not dare to look into the eyes of the gladiators, he was afraid of these executioners.
While avoiding all eyes, the boy came to the gate and prepared to stick the gladiatorial schedule in his hand on it.
When the boy tried his best and could only stick to the one-meter-two-meter position, Honor had already stepped forward to help him stick the schedule at a height where the gladiators could easily read it.
"Thank you." The boy thanked him in a low voice.
"My brother will always be your age in my memory." Honor squatted down and looked at the boy, "What's your name, man?"
"Yochuka ." the boy replied.
"Okay Yochuca." Honor signaled the boy to look at the other gladiators, "We are just forced to stay here. We are not bad people, so you don't have to be afraid next time."
The boy turned to look at the gladiators around him.
Kleist smiled at him.
Qin Xia sat cross-legged with her eyes closed.
Angron nodded.
When Yochuka's eyes fell on a pair of twin gladiators standing in the middle of the cave, what was contained in the cold eyes of the twin gladiators made Yochuka feel shuddering.
But Yochuka still insisted on looking around, and then nodded to Honor: "Yeah."
While the two were talking, the high-status slave girl came to Anno with two bags of food. In front of Gron.
When Angron raised his head and looked at her, the slave girl smiled and handed over two packages: "The person in charge said that you should eat and drink enough before going on stage."
After that, The slave girl turned to look at her son. She obviously wanted to say something, but was hesitant whether to say it or not.
Angron had something he was curious about, so he spoke first: "Madam, what is your son's name?"
"His name is Yochula, and he is only seventeen years old. He is not a warrior, and he has not received much combat training. He just became a gladiator one month earlier than you and the gentleman next to you."
Hearing the slave girl say her son's name was Yochula, Angron pointed to a teenage boy named Yochuka: "They are brothers?"
"Yes." Yochu La came to his mother's side and nodded vigorously, "Yes, he is my brother."
But Yochu La's mother did not admit it immediately.
Silent for half a second, a trace of sadness flashed across the face of the slave girl, and then she nodded silently: "Yes, sir. But Yochuka is my adopted son, and his parents..."
Halfway through her words, Yochula's mother swallowed back the second half.
“Madam.” Kleist approached Yochula’s mother, “When will the postponed carnival start? It’s been a month since the little girl from Mach City met me, and I can’t wait to See her again.”
Hearing this, the slave girl looked at Kleist, and now she realized that she was a lady. After being slightly shocked, the female slave shook her head: "The person in charge said that the carnival day before your battle with the Slaughterer has been completely cancelled, and will wait until the next time you have a large-scale battle."
" What's the reason for the cancellation?" Kleist changed his face instantly, grabbed the slave girl's arm and pulled her towards him, "If you don't understand, you have to stay with me today."
"Let go of my mother!" Yochula pushed Kleist away violently.
Kleist smiled: "Don't be nervous, kid, I'm just kidding, I really don't dare to touch the female slave who is said to have been the maid of the patriarch of the Tarke family."
" Can you not pretend to be a man and be aggressive at this time just for self-protection?" Qin Xia said helplessly, "Kleister, you don't have to be like this, we will protect you."
K. Lester was silent after Qin Xia removed the "mask" from his face.
She thought about it and felt it was true.
"Sorry, I'm used to this..." Kleist lowered his head and said lonely, "I'm not the one who needs carnival days here, but my good buddies always need them."
Female Slave Pulling his son behind him and facing Kleist, he pretended to be strong: "The person in charge said that this carnival day was cancelled. How could I know the reason? Could it be that he would tell me what he planned? Instead of letting his personal slave convey the order directly?”
Kleist was speechless.
The female slave looked at the others: "The personal slave in charge said that as compensation, in addition to food, there are two bundles of bandages in the supply package this time."
I heard that there are also bandages. , the gladiators were all stunned, and then quickly opened the supply bag they received to check the contents inside.
When they saw two bundles of fluorescent bandages inside, the gladiators burst into cheers.
The cheers were louder and more joyful than those of the spectators enjoying the gladiatorial fight.
“Two bundles of bandages?” Qin Xia picked up the fluorescent bandage roll and looked at it in confusion. He could find that this thing contained a certain amount of radioactivity, but he didn’t know why the gladiators would do it. cheer.
“If I were you, I would hide the bandage roll.” Honor came over and said, “This thing can cure any injury, even if you are stabbed with six holes in your body by three knives, as long as It’s not fatal yet but it can still be cured.”
Although Qin Xia felt it was outrageous, she didn’t think Honor was lying.
In his opinion, this bandage is similar to the anesthetic in the Three Treasures of Nuceria, which is proof that the advanced technology of Nuceria is in the hands of the nobles.
Slavery, brutal wrestling, ghettos.
A god-like ruler armed with high technology, advanced to astonishing levels of technology.
Qin Xia suddenly thought of Ultramar.
Nukeria is not very far from the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar in later generations. Compared to Ultramar, which has a strong Roman flavor, Nuceria is also quite Roman.
It's just that Nuceria represents the darkest and cruelest side of Rome.
"Yochula." The slave girl took her son to a place far away from Angron, and gently told her son, "The first regular fight this afternoon is between you and the man named An Mr. Angron and Ms. Kleist will join us. The ones fighting you are the Nusa Twins and the Skinner."
"You must follow Mr. Angron. He is also a newcomer, but he is also a newbie. I think he can protect you, and he will protect you."
While saying this, the slave girl lowered her voice, not wanting Angron to hear it.
There is nothing shameful about saying this, but it always makes people feel that there is an element of transaction when saying it.
But Angron heard it anyway.
Not to mention whispering in the cave, even the words spoken by the spectators who were sitting in the auditorium in the arena, the original body could vaguely hear.
The mother's emotions towards the gladiator's son at this time - worry, love, concern...
Compared with the emotions that the gladiators would have, this mother's emotions made An Gron felt warm.
“I will protect him.” Angron suddenly said to the slave girl, “Even if it’s because the people who care about him give me an extra piece of bread.”
"Thank you." The slave girl was stunned for a moment and then quickly thanked her. Then she turned around and left with the others. She stuck out her tongue and quickened her pace before going out.
