Chapter 38 Fever

Lin Tianyu thought while walking outside. On the way, he met several slaves carrying several stretchers out of a guild hall. There were a few gladiators in his arms lying on it. They looked in different situations. Lin Tianyu subconsciously glanced a few more times and found that it seemed to be the people who played the Trojan Legion in the "Troy Battle" that I watched last week. What was the name of the person who played Hector, it seemed to be Alex, and it seemed to be on the stretcher.

He was a little confused and watched the slaves lift the gladiators out like carrying bodies and put them on a carriage. When the people he met halfway, they all covered their mouths and noses, looking like they were avoiding it. At the door of the guild was an old man who looked like a businessman, with a sad expression.

"What's wrong? This is?" Lin Tianyu asked curiously.

"Don't mention, I encountered an unlucky fever epidemic. Now my gladiators are all destroyed. The doctor asked me to send them to the clinic, but I guess I was just waiting to die there. Oh, I'm so unlucky."

Lin Tianyu has been in Rome for so long and has roughly known what heat epidemic is. Because this era has no understanding of bacteria and viruses, all infectious diseases are called epidemics. The so-called heat epidemic is actually an infectious cold. Because it will get fever all over when you get sick, it is called heat epidemics.

Perhaps it is a small matter for modern people to catch a cold, but for ancient people who do not have antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, many people can often die with an influenza. Whether they can survive depends on luck.

Lin Tianyu didn't care too much, but just comforted the merchant for a few words and then returned to the stands in the emperor's seat.

Severus did not leave. He was now admiring the sword in his hand with an incredible expression on his face. When he saw Lin Tianyu coming back, he looked enthusiastic, obviously this sword made him very satisfied.

"What's wrong, my friend, your expression looks a little depressed. Have you seen the undefeated Massimos?"

Lin Tianyu nodded, "Not only did I see him, I also watched him die."

Sevis shook his head and sighed, "He is still dead, there is nothing he can do. After all, he was picked up by a rhino and no one can survive if he changes his head. But he is indeed powerful. He even killed the rhino before he dies."

After the two chatted for a few words, Lin Tianyu casually told the thing he encountered on the road.

But Severus showed a look of surprise, "You mean Alex? I know that guy!"

Lin Tianyu was a little surprised and thought to himself, how could a centurion of the Imperial Guard know a gladiator?

When he heard Lin Tianyu's question, Sevis did not hide it. "That was three years ago. When I was still serving in the Jerusalem Legion, Alex and I were in the same legion, but his man was not very popular with the commander of the legion because he always did something inexplicable."

"for example?"

"For example, it is ignorant to refuse to massacre those Persian women and children, what would hurt his honor." Sevis sighed, as if that was incredible.

"And he never attacks the captives who put down his weapons. I really don't know how such people become centurions. Killing women and children does not have any sense of accomplishment. But hey, they are foreigners. It will not be so easy to kill them when they grow up. Even if we eliminate these, since the commander of the Legion gave the order, we will do it. Obeying orders is the greatest honor of the soldier."

After hearing this, Lin Tianyu's original affection for Severus disappeared all of a sudden. Although he knew that this idea might be a normal thing for people of this era, he still couldn't stand a well-dressed guy talking about how to cut off a child's head more easily.

Instead, it was the Alex, the principled Alex that aroused his interest.

"In this way, Alex was ordered to be executed by the general in anger. Fortunately, his relationship with us was pretty good on weekdays. When everyone pleaded with him together, they sold him as a slave. Later, they were attracted by the Pelas Hall and became a gladiator. Unexpectedly, he still had his old habits. Every time he defeated the hostile gladiator, he rarely killed those who had lost their ability to resist. For this reason, it was rare to go against the wishes of the audience. However, he also gained a loud nickname. People called him the kind Alex, but it became very popular because of this. Haha, the things in this world are really hard to understand."

Lin Tianyu clicked, but suddenly something happened in his mind.

If he really wanted to go to the world behind the black wooden door, he would probably not be safe alone. After all, even if he had weapons, he was just an ordinary person and needed to sleep and rest. If he encountered danger, he would need someone to take care of each other. He had thought about going back to modern times and finding a few trustworthy friends to go with him. However, as the saying goes, human hearts are unpredictable. Although he and his former colleagues were still pretty good, they were just nodding and were far from being able to trust each other.

Although there are a few students who are very good, they have not been in contact for several years and cannot count on them. In this way, he seems to be destined to take risks in another world alone.

But then he came up with an idea, why not just find a few guards in this ancient Roman city?

After all, these ancient people were not as sensible as modern people and were relatively simple. Secondly, once they left their familiar environment and came to a world that was completely unfamiliar to them, they would inevitably have to rely on themselves and would not betray them so easily.

Although this idea is good, he has never been able to find the right candidate. Those who are loyal may not be capable, and those who are capable may not be loyal.

Therefore, this idea has just been stuck in his mind, but Sevis's words made him illuminate. What other guard can be more suitable than a centurion and gladiator with principle and sense of honor?

He patted Severus on the shoulder, "Thank you, my friend, I have a lot to do, I have to leave first, goodbye!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Severus looked at Lin Tianyu's back as he was leaving, looking confused, thinking to himself, what did I say to me?

Lin Tianyu returned to Apius's home. He didn't bother to come forward to say hello. He immediately found the handbags he brought. He searched in the handbags containing daily necessities and soon found a small box.

It contains some common cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, iodine and other daily medicines. Lin Tianyu specially prepared for this trip. If he encounters a headache and fever, he can use them. However, his health is pretty good. He has been in ancient Rome for so long and has not had any problems. He had forgotten that he had such a box, but now it can finally come in handy.

When Lin Tianyu hurriedly felt that the merchant in the guild had not left yet when the Colosseum was in the Rome, Lin Tianyu patted his shoulder, "Hey, where are your gladiators?"

The businessman looked at him strangely, wondering why this person had such a relationship with those sick gladiators. However, he had also heard of Lin Tianyu's reputation and knew that this person had a wide relationship, so he cheered up and said, "Where can you be there, you are lying in the clinic."

Lin Tianyu smiled at him, "How about I do a deal with you? If I can save most of your gladiators, what price would you be willing to pay?"

The merchant felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, "If you can save them, I am willing to pay you twenty As (Ancient Roman currency)."

Lin Tianyu shook his head, "What do I want you twenty ass to do? The ass in my warehouse are full. Why not do this? If I can save all your gladiators, I will choose one from them as my guard."

The merchant was happy at first, but immediately became nervous again, "Do you want Alex?"

"Of course, who else can there be besides him."

"That's not possible. Alex is my pillar. My gladiator can only win the game. If you ask him for your reward, I would rather give his life to the gods to decide, and at least half the chance to keep my wallet."

Damn, it's really hard to deal with. Lin Tianyu thought about it and decided to use the old method. So if he added this, he took out a lighter.

"Box of Prometheus!" The merchant screamed in surprise. He had heard of this magical treasure. The expression on his face was obviously moved, but he still didn't relax. "But this thing is worth hundreds of Ashes at most. Alex can make money continuously for me. I spent a lot of energy to train him into an excellent warrior."

Lin Tianyu was a little impatient, "Low come, he was already a centurion before he became your gladiator. You need your training. He trained you almost the same, not to mention that if he died, then I am afraid that no Ashe is worth it. But I am so generous. Let me add another bottle of Venus Tears. If you still don't agree, forget it. Leave the lives of those gladiators to the gods to decide. I want to see if the gods will favor you, a dark-hearted businessman."

The merchant finally stopped sticking to it, with a smile on his face as he succeeded in his plan, "If you can really save most of the gladiators, I'm willing to make this deal with you."
