"I still don't understand." Comodes road.

"You are a gladiator. You explore the truth of the arena. I am a magician. I explore the truth of the world. Of course, I didn't say that magicians are more noble and correct than gladiators, but I want to ask, do you think the truth you get in this arena is closer to the deepest truth, or the truth in the magical world is closer to the deepest truth? " Su ye asked.

"I'm a gladiator, but I'm also a soldier. A soldier is no worse than a magician!" Comodes road.

"Soldiers will not suppress their rank for so many years." Suye road.

Comodes frowned.

Su Ye stared at a white cloud like cotton in the sky and said, "what was your childhood dream?"

"Fighting king! I've wanted to be a wrestler since I was a child. " Comodes's tone was full of pride, like a child.

"Just want to be the king of wrestling?"

"Yes, I just want to be the king of fighting! When I first watched the battle of the king of gladiators, I knew that this was the goal of my life. " Comodes smiled and looked as soft as the cloud in the sky.

"But you're done." Suye road.

"Huh?" Comodes did not know whether he had not heard clearly or understood.

"You have fulfilled your childhood dream early. You have long been the king of fighting." Suye road.

"That's right." Comodes smiled contentedly.

Su Ye sighed.

"Isn't it a good thing to complete the childhood dream and the past goal?" Comodes said with a smile.

"When you were a child, your goal was to fight the king. So, you are now the king of gladiators. What is your goal? "

Su Ye's voice was very quiet, but it was far more painful than millions of stone pillars hitting his body.

Comodes suddenly felt that his flesh and blood were in pain, his bones were in pain, his bone marrow was in pain, and even his soul was in pain.

"Are you saying that I'm not even as good as my child now? Did I do anything wrong? " Comodes held his fist hard, his eyes blankly, and he didn't know where to look.

"The most common mistake we make is to confuse the short-term temporary goal with the life goal, thinking that once the temporary goal is completed, the life goal is completed." Suye road.

"Don't you always want to be a legend? Legend is just a temporary goal longer than the king of gladiators. " Comodes road.

"Legend is just my magician's goal, and it's what I can say. There are other things I can't say on legend. I always say that I want a better world before I want to be a legend. Unfortunately, not many people really understand this sentence. " Suye road.

"I can't understand." Comodes road.

Su Ye raised his arm and pointed to the sky.

"I never care about the throne in the cage. My future is the earth and the sea."

Comodes looked at the sky quietly. For some reason, his nose was slightly sour and shiny things rippled in his eyes.

"So, what should I do?"

"If a dress is broken, just change into a new one. One combat skill has been eliminated. Just change to a new one. When one goal is completed, just change to the next. A kind of thinking is aging. Refresh it and find a better thinking in the world. The world is simple, but we've been imprisoning ourselves. "

Comodes finally couldn't look at the sky and turned to Su Ye. It seemed that there was a master of wisdom in the boy's body.

"Now do you know why you lost to me?" Su ye asked.

Comodes carefully recalled his dialogue with Su ye, recalled it again and again, and savored every word of Su Ye.

After a long time, he suddenly realized.

"I just want to be the king of the arena, so I only care about everything in the arena. Over time, I really become stronger and stronger in the arena. However, the stronger I am, the more I think that the truth in the arena is the real truth, and the rest is unimportant. Even if there is a new truth and a new thing outside, because I only focus on the arena, I will inevitably ignore or even be hostile. This is inevitable, because I will try my best to protect me and everything I think is right. Now, there is a person outside the arena, that is, you. "

Komodes took a look at Su ye and continued: "everything about you is actually far beyond the scope of the arena. However, I still think about you and me in the way of the arena. I don't... in your words, it's called "refreshing" my way of thinking. I can defeat you only if I stand at the same height as you and have a thinking level no weaker than you. "

"Do you now know why Leonidas and Sisyphus can defeat you?" Su ye asked.

Comodes's eyes widened slowly.

"I remember that Leonidas once said that he would become the first God like Hercules. His eyes are all the human world, so he must be able to see the truth of the world."

"Sisyphus said that he wanted to be Sisyphus of the world. He was arrogant, but as long as he said it, these words would force him to look at the world. What he sees is also the truth of the world. "

"You are the same, you are all the same. You want to see the world and see the world. Therefore, the arena will not trap you. And I can only deal with the small fish in the lake of the arena. Once the giant dragon in the ocean enters the lake, even the young giant dragon is just a bigger lake fish in my eyes. I use the method of dealing with lake fish to deal with the dragon. How can I win. I see... "

Comodes sighed softly and continued: "I finally understand why you take out the book in public to study, why you don't care about the support or opposition of the audience, and always do something you shouldn't do in the arena, not because you are eccentric, not because you flatter the public, not because you are maverick, not because of anything else. Just because, in your eyes, the arena is no different from other places, just a part of the world. "

"So, komodes, what are your dreams and goals now? Continue to be the king of gladiators like a child only wants to be a child? " Su ye asked.

"I'm no longer the king of fighting..." at this point, komodes suddenly shook his body and looked at Su ye in horror.

Su ye still looked at the sky and his lips were flying.

"I see... I finally understand the horror of people like you or Aristotle. When I was the king of gladiators, I would only be the king of gladiators. When I was not the king of gladiators, I still just wanted to recapture the king of gladiators. Now, through the dialogue with you, I will consider other goals when I am no longer the king of wrestling. But you, Aristotle, you geniuses in other people's eyes, from the beginning, you directly ignored the short-term goal like the wrestler, but pointed to the longer-term goal. "

"I just summarized and sorted out the common points of the masters, and then learned." Suye road.

"However, you have such a long-term goal. Can you really achieve it?" Asked comodes.

"They never ask, I don't ask, I only ask why."

Su ye took a long breath and got up.

In the audience, very few people stared at Su ye and fell into thinking.

Su Ye picked up his magic beard, patted the soil on it, cleaned it with water making, and put it under his nose.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm trying to dredge comodes. After all, a pervert with dirty thoughts is likely to do terrible things, such as pulling others' hair on the street once he loses."

The audience laughed and many people laughed and scolded Su Ye.

However, the audience also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know what they were talking about just now, they obviously wouldn't just rest.

Comodes lost badly.

Even worse than his defeated generals over the years, if Su Ye helped persuade, everyone would be more relieved.

No Spartan would like to see his city's most famous Gladiator fall.

Su Ye looked back at comodes lying on the ground and held out his hand.

"Come and experience the feeling that others get the king of gladiators. You haven't had this feeling for ten years. You must miss it very much."

In the laughter and scolding of the audience, comodes gave Su ye a white look and stretched out his hand.

Su Ye pulled up comodes.

The audience cheered.

"Comodes!"

"Comodes!"

"Comodes!"

The whole audience shouted, encouraged comodes and thanked him for bringing us a wonderful battle.

The two men went to the Longkou terrace, where many wooden statues of gods were displayed.

The statue of the LORD God has only one Ares, the God of war, and the others are true gods, ranking lower than the LORD God.

Suye glanced at the statue and then looked at the main priest who treated comodes.

It was a kind old man with a smile on his face, and his white robe exuded a faint radiance.

"Congratulations, dear Suye. From today on, you will be the king of fighting, and even the king of Sparta." The old man stretched out his arms and gave Su ye a hug.

When they separated, the old man took off Su Ye's magic beard.

Commodus's eyes moved, his head lowered slightly and remained humble.

"You have a lot of experience." Su Ye smiled and blinked.

The old man smiled, showed his kind face and said, "you are a child who likes to tell the truth, and I also like people who tell the truth. So, are you interested in joining Sparta? You see, Spartans like you very much, even if you are only an audience in the arena, even if you beat our hero comodes so badly, we are different from Athens. "

"I'm afraid my words are too hurtful." Suye road.

"Said, today you are the king of gladiators. As long as you don't blaspheme, you can even scold everyone on the terrace, including the high priest I've always wanted to pull him down." The old man smiled.

Suye couldn't laugh or cry. The Spartans were really different from the Athenians.

He is clearly a priest, but he is full of soldiers and bandits.

"When you want to distinguish me from Sparta's Gladiator or Athens's Gladiator, I understand that Sparta and Athens are the same." Su Ye smiled.

Comodes immediately remembered the previous conversation and thought slowly. The old man said, "yes, I'm selfish. But my selfishness is for the city, my selfishness is for the God of war. I hope you will become a gladiator of Ares. " This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
