Chapter 766

Perhaps only in the baths where everyone is equal can varo temporarily forget his slave status and recall his past life.

Especially when he walked into the hot water bath, let his body completely soak in hot water, each pore is stretched, it seems that varo can not help but give a sigh of satisfaction.

He closed his eyes in the pool, but after a while, he didn't see Zhang Heng enter the water, so he opened his eyes again, "come on, it will be a little hot at the beginning, but when you get familiar with it, you will feel that your fatigue is taken away by the warm water. When I was still opening an antique shop, I often asked my old customers to come to the bath and talk about business ”

as he spoke, varo 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 by him in the fight with habitus. Although Zhang Heng's plan for him was successful, it also angered habitus. Later, habitus didn't keep his hand. He directly cut him in the chest with a sword and got the physiology of the fight. Fortunately, after the doctor's examination, he confirmed that his ribs were not broken.

Instead of following what varo said, Zhang Heng pointed to a corridor on the south side and asked, "where does that lead to?"

Varo looked out and said, "it should be a hot air bathroom."

The hot air bathroom is similar to the modern sauna. It is the hottest place in the whole bathing place. The temperature can reach 60 degrees. A continuous stream of hot air comes out from the gap between the wall and the floor. If you don't wear sandals, you can easily get scalded.

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

"Something suspicious What do you mean Varo had doubts.

At the moment, few gladiators come to the bathroom to take a bath. In addition to Zhang Heng and varo, there are only two other people taking a bath in the hot water bathroom, but varo knows that Zhang Heng is not asking those two people.

Zhang Heng did not explain, see the other two people are closed their eyes, Zhang Heng did not ask them, directly toward the hot air bathroom.

His observation has always been very good, especially after he lived with Sherlock Holmes, but this is the first time that he doubted what he saw in his eyes.

Because just now, Zhang Heng saw a woman's figure disappear in the channel leading to the hot air bathroom.

According to varo's introduction, Roman Baths had designed different routes for men and women, but not many people followed them. Cicero, a famous politician and orator, also satirized this phenomenon, lamenting that it was moral corruption, but it still could not stop the enthusiasm of women and men to enter the baths together.

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

Therefore, in principle, Zhang Heng is impossible to see any woman here.

What's more, the other party's dress is still very strange, wearing a black robe, and wrapping himself tightly. At first sight, he is not from the school.

How does such a person get through the inspection of the doorman who guards the entrance of the bathhouse, and how does he get through the pool and yard in front of him, and walk all the way under the eyes of those wrestling and fitness gladiators?

Zhang Heng couldn't imagine the possibility.

If it's ordinary people, they may forget about it, but Zhang Heng instinctively realized that the other party might be coming for him, so he didn't walk into the hot bath like wallow, but walked towards the hot air channel where the black woman disappeared.

"Did you go straight to the hot bathroom? Don't you get used to it in the hot bath first? " Varo yelled behind him, "be careful to faint from the heat."

"Thank you for reminding me. Take a bath by yourself. Don't worry about me." Zhang Heng said as he walked into the corridor on the south side.

He can obviously feel that as he walks in step by step, the temperature around him is also rising. Compared with the heat wave in the hot bathroom, the steam in the hot bathroom is nothing at all, and even makes people feel cool.

This is a real sauna. Its function is very similar to that of the previous fitness courtyard. It seems that the ancient Romans believed that perspiration can expel the body's venom and diseases. Therefore, whether it's wrestling or this hot air bathroom, it's to make the bathers sweat more.

Zhang Heng went through the narrow corridor and entered the circular room. Because the floor was too hot, he would be scalded soon if he lay down here. In order to let the bathers rest, the craftsmen of the bathhouse opened many niches in the middle of the wall.

But on the other hand, these niches also block the view of people outside. Fortunately, Zhang Heng can judge whether there is anyone in the niches from the outstretched legs.

He went to the first one with people in front of the niche, where sat a gladiator. The latter probably felt that he had steamed enough. Before Zhang Heng came to him, he got up and left the niche and walked towards the hot water bathroom outside. When they were siding, he nodded slightly at Zhang Heng, which was a greeting.Zhang Heng also saluted him back, and then went to the next place.

However, the legs protruding from the niche this time didn't seem to be Zhang Heng's target. They were a pair of thin and shriveled legs, which also indicated that its owner was an old man.

Zhang Heng did not 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? Zhang Heng frowned. He always felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have missed something.

At this time, an old voice sounded, "do you have anything left here?"

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

It was the old Greek trainer he met when he first entered the Gladiator school. The latter was dressed like him, only wearing a waistband and sitting in the niche, as if he wanted to integrate with the stone wall behind him.

Since the other side opened his mouth, Zhang Heng politely asked, "have you been sitting here before? I don't know if you have seen a woman in a black robe?"

According to the common sense, if a woman in black robes is such a conspicuous target, if she really enters the hot air bathroom, the people in it will not turn a blind eye. If she does not see the person, she will probably ask if he is dazzled.

However, the old trainer in the niche had a strange reaction. He neither said he had seen Zhang Heng's eyes nor doubted them. Instead, he said calmly, "can you describe her?"

"I can't see her face."

"What about other places, such as what she had in her hands, and what else she had besides the black robe?"
