Although Marcus is now surprised and angry, he has no ability to stop the people in the stands, and dare not step forward to interfere in Commaud's decision. He can only sit in the stands and blow his beard and stare.
He can only hope that Commaud will be fair and take his losses into account. After all, he still owns the ownership of Zhang Heng. He only borrows his gladiators to perform in the Flavi arena. Although the organizer of the Gladiator performance has the right to decide the Gladiator's life and death as well as whether to give the Gladiator freedom, after doing so, he has to give the Gladiator the right behind him The school must make up for it.
The question is how should Zhang Heng price now?
In the eyes of Marcus, Zhang Heng is priceless. He is the strongest gladiator in the history of Rome after sisnates. How much is it worth?
But the problem is that this is only his view. Generally, the compensation standard is determined by the price when the Gladiator is purchased and the performance period of the gladiator, but Zhang Heng has few of these two items.
According to Gaby, it costs an average price to buy Zhang Heng. This is because the other party has the identity of an oriental, and the number of years of performance is even worse. Zhang Heng's speed is too fast, almost overnight from a nobody to a household name. According to this standard, it is considered the kindness of Commaud. If Zhang Heng is released, he will only have to pay him a few thousand sestus.
However, Marcus lost money to his grandmother's family. Even if it is conservatively estimated that Zhang Heng can bring more than 30000 gold coins to the arena in one year, even if he only works for three years, it is 90000 gold coins. With only a few thousand copper coins left in such a large amount of money, he is cutting the flesh of Marcus.
So Marcus is now the most nervous person in the whole flavy amphitheater, but his little extravagance is shattered with Commaud's next move.
The young emperor held this wrestling performance just to win the hearts of the people. How could it go against the voice of the people? Besides, Kang maode himself was worried about how to take Zhang Heng away from Marcus. It's rare to have such a good opportunity now. As long as Zhang Heng is turned into a free man, he can naturally earn the Oriental into his own pocket.
Of course, if he let a gladiator become his confidant, he would certainly arouse the protest and dissatisfaction of the old Council members in the Senate. But this is not the first time he has done such a ridiculous thing. His two consultants are not very good. And he is trying to recruit new people to fight against the old guys and the old forces.
The empire is like an old man in his twilight years. It needs fresh blood to make it rejuvenate.
Commaud always believed in this, so he didn't care about the poor Gladiator school owner's mood.
The young emperor took the training sword, which symbolized freedom, from his followers and threw it in front of Zhang Heng. At the same time, he announced in a loud voice, "this is what you have won for yourself."
His actions also triggered a new round of cheers. The people seemed to be happy that their voice was valued. The Empire ushered in a good emperor who loved the people like a son.
However, the good emperor, who loved the people like a son, only used one word to make Marcus dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Heng had picked up the wooden sword.
This also means that the latter has gained freedom and has nothing to do with the victor arena from now on.
So Marcus, who had just opened his eyes, fainted again.
One second ago, he was the biggest winner of the show, looking forward to the new future of Victor arena. However, the next second, he fell from the cloud and became the biggest loser.
Even though satonilos and others, who are poor for some reason, have survived. After this war, their reputation will certainly be seriously damaged, but there is no way to mend it. What's more, the mountain on their head has disappeared, and they still have a chance to regain the throne in the future. And Marcus is miserable. If he wins, the performers are gone.
There are no more ups and downs in life.
Perhaps the only consolation to him is that Bach, a German, performed well in this duel, playing steadily, second only to Zhang Heng and telufilus, but how can a Bach match Zhang Heng's popularity.
…………
Zhang Heng was a little bit surprised when he picked up the wooden sword, because he also knew the rules of the arena. There were few gladiators like him who were free after only a few matches, because for the beloved gladiators, the audience would like to see more of their performances.
And the timing of this call for his freedom is also very clever. Just as we discussed what to give him, the weight of those rewards increased, and the crowd fell into a state of fanaticism. At this time, the most valuable freedom was thrown out.
So the crowd also subconsciously followed and yelled, in other words, this is actually a premeditated guidance and use of public opinion.
The question is who is behind this. Zhang Heng looks at Kang maode first. Of course, he knows that Kang maode wants to bring him into his own team. This is what Zhang Heng has been deliberately guiding Kang maode to do. Therefore, he is undoubtedly a beneficiary of this thing. However, Zhang Heng's understanding of the young emperor is also deepening through his previous relationship, and Kang maode's experience is very good The rank should not have reached such a high level.It's a very clever thing to do, almost without any trace. The planners behind it have excellent political skills and are good at making use of their strength to pull out a thousand pounds.
Obviously, such a person should not be a new political person like Commaud.
According to the agreement between the two sides, Zhang Heng helps the balance blade to do things, and the balance blade also guarantees his freedom. Although it is after the completion of the work, it does not rule out that the balance blade sees the present opportunity and pays part of the reward in advance, which is also convenient for him to enter One step closer to Commodus.
If this is true, it may also confirm some of Zhang Heng's previous conjecture that the blade of balance is not as pure as it claims, but a tool in the hands of a certain political force. Only members of the organization did not realize this, or some members like the old Persian trainer did not realize this I think that this political force is their help, but I don't know that the service relationship between the two sides is actually an exchange.
In addition, Zhang Heng also received two long lost system prompts. One of them is the 100 point game points reward for winning the duel performance, and the other is the 50 point game points reward for restoring the identity of free man.
