Chapter 313

The First Academy applauded Su Ye like a hero.

Such awesome people are rare.

The last one who was shouted like this by the audience hasn't gotten out of bed for ten years.

Aristotle didn't dare to play like this back then.

However, the gladiators were a little confused. What exactly did those audiences spend money to scold Su Ye?

After leaving the gate of life and death, Julius greeted him with a smile.

"Su Ye, do a good job! The college has confirmed that you will lead the team to participate in the day after tomorrow. You will have a day off tomorrow and maintain your energy."

Segus whispered from the side: "He has been resting for six days."

"Trophy competition? The audience seemed to have said it." Su Ye said.

"Yes. The official bronze rank battle competition held in the name of God of War God's God of Dissent. Goddess of Dissent likes to fight multiple people, so the competition format is that each team has ten people, and the referee draws two teams to fight. Each battle round, one person is eliminated. During the tenth battle, there is only one person left in each team. No matter how many teams are left, everyone will play together, start fighting indiscriminately, and finally calculate the ranking according to the order of elimination."

"This model is quite interesting." Su Yedao.

"If you perform well, the goddess of dispute will give you divine objects." Julius said.

"What does it mean? How do you perform well?" Su Ye asked.

Julius thought for a while and said, "There is no fixed form. After all, mortals cannot spy on the preferences of gods. However, every time the goddess descends the divine object, it is unexpected because the battlefield is on the battlefield. For example, once a pair of twins swept the whole game and received the Goddess' Gift. Another time, all the members were severely injured, and everyone was on the verge of death. The goddess descended the miracle to save them. In short, in the Goddess of Dispute, the more chaotic the better. For example, in the Goddess of Terror, the more scared the enemy, the better. If the audience can be scared to tears and the gladiator, the goddes' Gift will definitely be reduced."

"It's really up to the gods?" Su Ye asked.

Julius looked around and whispered in Su Ye's ear: "In fact, there are very few gods who personally give to God. The so-called god gifts are generally divided into two situations. One is that the priests of the temple believe that this game is in line with the preferences of the gods, and the temple brings down the god gifts. The other is that they resonate with the power of the gods, and the power of the gods brings down the gods, rather than the gods themselves."

"So that's it." Su Yedao.

"After grasping it well, your future is limitless and will be valued by the Spartan royal family and the Presbyterian Church. If you are lucky, you can gain additional strength, such as talent." Julius said.

"But I am a magician, and I have received the favor of the goddess of wisdom." Su Yedao.

Julius shrugged and said, "The gods are not idle all day long to remember you, a mortal. What's more, the rules of the tournament were set by the temple and the royal family. If the gods are approved by the gods, the gods will not break their own rules for the mortals. Unless you have determined to submit to the gods, for example, you have received the highest attachment of the Goddess of Wisdom, the favor of the Goddess of Wisdom, or your family dedicated to the Goddess of Wisdom for generations. If you are really powerful and believe in the gods, the gods will win you over, how could you hate you?"

"I understand this, but will this kind of divine gift be taken back?" Su Ye asked.

Julius laughed and said, "The sacrifice of God's gift and the convoy of God's gift are two concepts. The sacrifice of God's gift is a prayer and a transaction, just like you make meritorious service for the king, and the king gives you an official position. If you betray the enemy country, the king will naturally take it back. But the convoy reward is equivalent to the king giving you gold, silver and treasures. Even if you betray the enemy country, you can still run away with gold, silver and treasures. The king has no way to deal with you."

"This metaphor is very appropriate, I understand." Su Ye said.

"If you get a trophy, want to take action, or change to God-given equipment and want to take action, you can find me. After all, God-given equipment in the Temple of Disputes belongs to warriors, and few of them belong to mages." Julius said.

"I understand that if I really want to take action, I will definitely ask you for help." Su Ye said.

Julius smiled and said, "You are indeed a reliable guy! Don't worry, we are friends. I won't draw a commission at this time, and I won't even draw a copper owl."

Su Ye smiled slightly, but knew that Julius was not profitable, but he was able to meet more status people through the transaction of God-given equipment, which was far more profitable than money.

"It doesn't matter if you have a holiday tomorrow, do you want to find a place to have fun or do something else. We Sparta do not have as many rules as Plato Academy." Julius smiled ambiguously.

Su Ye said angrily: "I am still a child, and I don't know what you are talking about. Tomorrow I just want to walk around and briefly learn about Sparta. Compared with those vulgar things, it is more important to understand Sparta's customs and culture."

"Haha, I believe it. Will you hang out by yourself tomorrow or find a guide? I have something to do tomorrow and I can't get away with you, otherwise I will definitely play with you all over the city." Julius said helplessly.

"It's a pity that Teacher Aristotle has left... I'll look for Segus, he is quite enthusiastic." Su Ye said.

Julius recalled a little and nodded, saying, "Segus was born in a clean family and had been in the academy for more than five years. He was reliable. He was just that his mouth was too owed. No problem. I will arrange him to accompany you tomorrow. However... Sparta is not as many warriors as Athens. They all crawled out of the belly of the monster. They were rude and prone to cause disputes. Be careful."

Su Ye said: "I have Di Aotian and Wang Dahui here, so I should be able to solve a lot of troubles."

"That's good. If something happens, mention my name. If it really doesn't work, just call you a friend of Prince Leonida. Anyway, you are a student of Aristotle, and Prince Leonida will definitely be willing to help you." Julius said.

"Okay." Su Ye said with a smile.

Early the next morning, Su Ye left the room and found Segus waiting at the door with excitement on his face.

"His Excellency Su Ye, let's go for a meal. After dinner, we will take you to visit Sparta City."

"good."

After the meal, the two walked out of the arena.

As the morning light fell, Segus was full of excitement and his face was rosy than red hair.

“Where do you want to go?”

"Let's go and talk wherever you go." Su Ye said.

As he moved forward, Su Ye kept observing everything about Sparta, and Segus was also explaining.

I thought Sparta's buildings and streets would be dirty and messy, but in fact, they were just simpler than Athens, and the streets and grounds were cleaner than Athens.

Occasionally, people with worn clothes and pale faces are cleaning the streets.

"Those are the Hilo people?" Su Ye asked.

"Yes." Segus said indifferently.

After walking a few steps, a slight slap sound suddenly came from my ears, like the sound of a whip whipping on the flesh.

After a while, I saw a majestic white marble temple standing in front of me. Under the steps of the temple, a statue of the moon god stood. The moon goddess was wearing a heroic hunting suit and leather boots, holding a silver moon longbow, followed by a golden-horned deer on the left, and four hunting dogs on the right.

Below the Moon God statue, there was a long queue, with teenagers in the line. At the front of the line, a teenage boy was lying on the ground, biting a soft cloth in his mouth and barely on his back.

Bang...bang...bang...

The whip fell on the boy's back one after another, and long bloody marks were drawn out, like red paint pouring on the copper door.

The boy made a muffled cry from time to time and his body trembled gently.

The two stopped, and Segus looked at the boy on the ground, with a complex look on his face.

"This is one of the ways we Spartans can exercise courage and resilience. Between the age of 14 and 20, whipping is performed once a year. However, after the whipping, the temple will not hurt the bones. However, for children, it is a huge pain. Alas..."

After the whipping ended, the boy got up without a bloody face, and a thinner boy lay on the ground.

Bang...

"Ah..." The thin boy screamed shrillly.

The two soldiers who were executed looked at each other, a faint displeasure appeared on their faces, and suddenly they increased their strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The thin boy let out a more miserable scream, twisting his whole body in pain.

Most of the teenagers behind looked at the thin teenager with sympathy, and only a few of them gloat about it.

Suddenly, the thin boy couldn't help but hold his hands on the ground and was about to get up.

The executioner stepped on his neck and stepped on it hard. Another soldier raised his foot to the thin boy's back.

The long whip fell on the thin boy like a storm, and quickly knocked the boy out of nowhere.

"Simple treatment and throw this waste out!" the old priest in a white robe cursed gloomyly.

Segus sighed and said, "We were pitiful when we were young, but this is also the reason why we are strong. Let's go, there are many people queuing up today, and it seems that there will be people in other temples to receive whipping."

The two of them bypassed the place where they were executed and walked to other places.

Su Ye discovered that most of the Spartans here were in groups, with about fifteen people as the team, and the individuals were moving forward in a minority. Thinking of this, this was the Spartans' living custom, it was generally arranged for fifteen soldiers to eat and live together, and to cultivate team consciousness and comrade-in-arms' feelings, which can greatly enhance cohesion and combat effectiveness.

After a while, Segus pointed to a large wooden house and said, "There is a public canteen there. Even the nobles have to come to the public canteen to eat frequently. The Spartan black sauce soup, which was ridiculed by the whole world, was born inside. However, even if the black sauce soup is hard to eat, the elderly are reluctant to drink the broth, and they want to leave the broth to teenagers who need to grow up."

Along the way, Su Ye kept witnessing various customs of Sparta.

Suddenly, a team of prisoners wearing shackles and handcuffs came over, and more than 30 people were chained together and slowly moved forward dejectedly.

They were coated with dyes of different colors, and their clothes and hair were strangely shaped.

Children nearby were circling around them, laughing loudly and playing.

Segus said carelessly: "We often organize the Hilo people to walk on the streets just to humiliate them and attack them, and of course, to strengthen our Spartans' confidence and let us Spartans know the miserable situation after the defeat."

Su Ye nodded and said, "Let's go to the Abandoned Canyon to take a look. I want to see those poor abandoned babies."

“We’d better rent a carriage.”

"no problem."

The two rented a carriage and drove out of the city.

Before leaving the city, singing came, slowly becoming clearer and clearer.
