Probably only in the bath where everyone is equal, Varro can temporarily forget his slavehood and recall his past life.
Especially when he walked into the hot tub and let his body completely immersed in the hot water, each pore stretched. It seemed that Varo could not help but utter a contented sigh.
He closed his eyes in the pool, but after a while he didn't see Zhang Heng launching the water, and opened his eyes again. "Come on, it will be a little hot at first, but you will feel tired after being familiar This warm water was taken away. When I was still opening an antique shop, I often asked old customers to come to the bath together to discuss business while taking a bath ... "
Varo seemed to remember something as he said it, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face, but the pain from the bruise on his chest soon brought him back to reality.
It was left by him in the battle with Habitus. Although Zhang Heng's plan for him was successful, it also angered Habitus, who later did not keep his hand and directly cut him with a sword. On the chest, the physiology of the battle was obtained. Fortunately, after a doctor's examination, he confirmed that his ribs were not broken.
Zhang Heng didn't follow what Varo said, but pointed to a corridor on the south side and asked, "Where's that going?"
Varo leaned out and glanced, "It should be a hot bath."
The hot air bath is similar to a modern sauna room. It is the hottest place in the whole bath. The temperature can reach 60 degrees. A continuous stream of hot air emerges from the gap between the wall and the floor. If you don't wear sandals, you will be easily burned.
"Did you see anything suspicious when you came in?" Zhang Heng said later.
"What does suspicious ... mean?" Varro was a little confused.
不 There are not many gladiators coming to the bathroom for bathing at the moment. Except for Zhang Heng and Varo, there are only two other people taking a bath in the hot tub. However, Varo knew that Zhang Heng was not asking those two.
Zhang Heng didn't give much explanation. Seeing that the other two were closing their eyes and raising their eyes, Zhang Heng didn't ask them, and went straight to the hot bath.
His observation has been very good, especially after experiencing a copy of deduction and Sherlock Holmes, but this time is also the first time he has doubts about what he sees in his eyes.
Because just a moment ago, Zhang Heng saw the figure of a woman disappearing in the passage leading to the hot bath.
According to Varro's introduction, the Roman baths had designed different routes for men and women, but not many people followed them. The famous politician and speaker Cicero also satirized this phenomenon, lamenting that it was moral corruption, but this is still the case. There is no way to stop the enthusiasm of women and men entering the bath together.
But this kind of thing does not happen in the baths of the Gladiator School, because according to regulations this is where the gladiators and trainers bathe, while the slave women working at the Gladiator School will bathe outside.
Therefore, in theory, it is impossible for Zhang Heng to see any woman here.
What's more, the other party's dress was very strange. He wore a black robe and wrapped himself tightly. At first glance, he was not a school person.
怎么 How did such a person pass the inspection of the gatekeeper guarding the bath door, how did he pass through the pool in front and the yard, and walked under the eyelids of those gladiators who were wrestling and exercising?
Zhang Heng couldn't imagine the possibilities.
If it is an ordinary person, this matter may be left behind, but Zhang Heng instinctively realized that the other party was probably directed at him, so he did not enter the hot tub like Varo, but instead turned towards that. The woman in the black robe walked away from the hot passage.
"Did you go to the hot bath directly? Don't you get used to it in the hot tub first?" Varo shouted behind him, "beware of being fainted by the heat."
谢谢 "Thank you for reminding me to take a bath yourself first, don't worry about me." Zhang Heng said as he entered the corridor on the south side.
He can clearly feel that as he walks in step by step, the temperature around him is also rising. Compared with the heat waves leaking from the hot bath, the water vapor in the hot bath is nothing, and it may even cause people to There is a hint of coolness.
This is a veritable sauna. Its function is similar to that of the previous fitness yard. The ancient Romans seemed to believe that sweating can expel venom and diseases from the body. Therefore, whether it is wrestling or this hot bath, it is for the purpose of Let people who bathe sweat more.
Zhang Heng walked through the narrow aisle and entered this round room. Because the floor is too hot, if you lie down here, you will be burned shortly. In order to let the bathers rest, the craftsmen who built the bathhouse There are many niches in the middle of the wall.
But on the other hand, these niches will also block the sight of outsiders, but fortunately Zhang Heng can judge whether there are any people in the niches from those outstretched legs.
He walked to the first niche where there was a gladiator. The latter probably felt that he had enough steam. Before Zhang Heng came to him, he got up and left the niche, facing the hot water outside. He walked to the bathroom, and when they turned sideways, he nodded slightly at Zhang Heng, saying hello.
Zhang Heng also returned to him, and then walked to the next place.
But this time, the legs extended in the niche did not seem to be what Zhang Heng was looking for. It was a pair of thin and dry legs, which also indicated that its owner was an old man.
Zhang Heng didn't know why. Although he had never seen the face under the black robe, he seemed to be sure that it was a young woman ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Why? Zhang Heng frowned, always felt that there was something wrong, and he seemed to have missed something.
A bit old voice sounded at this moment, "Did you have anything here?"
Zhang Heng took another half step forward, and finally saw the man in that niche.
It was the old Greek trainer he encountered when he first entered the Gladiator School. The latter was also dressed like him, wearing a girdle all over his body and sitting in an alcove. It's like being integrated with the stone wall behind.
Since the other party spoke, Zhang Heng asked politely, "Have you been sitting here before? I wonder if you saw a woman in a black robe?"
According to common sense, the black robe woman's so conspicuous goal, if you really enter the hot bath, the people inside will certainly not turn a blind eye, and if you do n’t see them now, it is estimated that he will be dazzled.
However, the reaction of the veteran trainer in the niche is strange. He neither said nor doubted Zhang Heng's eyes, but calmly, "Can you describe her?"
"I can't see her face."
"What about other places, for example, what is she holding in her hand, is there anything else besides the black robe?"
