I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Yi

Jiang's speed was so fast that Wu Lai was astonishing - as soon as the auction for the winner of the four games was settled, the vulture with a thick bandage on his right shoulder was led in front of Yi Jiang and Wu Lai.

Despite his injuries and his age, his master had no intention of lowering the asking price, a thousand gold coins, which was more than the pair of female gladiators who had been sold at auction for the most of the day. Yi Jiang said with a smile, the pair of "brokeback female gladiators" were auctioned together just now for a high price of 1,700 gold coins, which slammed the price of the other three people apart, but compared with the vulture's asking price, it was also a lot worse.

"The price of a thousand gold coins is basically in line with the value of a vulture in my mind. Woolley nodded, looking the vulture up and down.

"No, Woolledrindo, I have to warn you that the vulture's right shoulder is not lightly wounded, because the sword that struck him is very sharp, you see, how pale his face is, if you change your mind, I can resell you the female gladiator I just bought, what is her name?" Yi Jiang said with some uncertainty.

The moment Yi Jiang said the name of the female gladiator, Woolley caught the almost imperceptible twitch in the corner of the vulture's eye.

After a slight hesitation, Woolley smiled and said, "I won't change my mind, but, in addition to buying the vulture, I'm also interested in your suggestion, and I'd be very grateful if you would be willing to resell Puya." "

Oh?" Yi Jiang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "You are really unexpected, if you are interested in Puya, why didn't you bid just now?"

"Because His Excellency the Adjutant General showed me a passion for Puya that I had to hesitate about. Woolley smiled and replied, "It wasn't until just now that I realized from your words that it wasn't really like that. "

No, no, no, I'm still passionate about her, you should have noticed her looks and figure, tsk, it must be very strong." Yi Jiang smiled and pointed to Puya, who was riding around the audience to thank the audience.

Yi Jiang's words made the vulture's eyes dim a lot, Wu Lailuo frowned, and said very seriously: "Your Excellency, Puya's age will make you feel tired soon, believe me, when that day comes, you will definitely regret that you spent six hundred and fifty gold coins for this, if you are willing to resell it to me now, I am willing to pay eight hundred gold coins."

Yi Jiang looked at Wu Lai very seriously for a moment, and suddenly nodded with a smile: "This is a good deal, I am happy to accept it." "

That's great. Woolley smiled and held out his hand.

"Remember, you owe me a favor. Yi Jiang shook Wu Lai's hand.

That night, when the drunken Woolley walked out of the adjutant general's residence, it was almost midnight, and Nerton, who had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, saw this, and hurriedly greeted Woolley and put Woolley into the carriage, and then drove the carriage slowly to the direction of the hotel.

When he stepped through the door of the hotel, Woolley, who was still flushed and drunk, walked so steadily that Nerton was amazed.

"Let's go, the newcomer hasn't spoken yet. Woolley said to Nerton as he walked inside.

"Young Master Woolley, Vulture and Puya were arranged in Marlon's room. Nerton hurriedly said, when leaving the boulder square, Woolley and Yijiang went to the temple of Menia City, and Vulture and Puya followed Nerton and Marlon back to the hotel, and Woolley had not officially spoken to them.

Wooley's presence obviously made Puya a little uneasy, but she quickly calmed down, and then, she walked quickly to Woolley and knelt down on one knee: "Master."

Woolley nodded, and waved his hand at the vulture who was about to kneel down and salute: "Forget it, these vulgar rites will be said when you are healed, sit down and talk." Vulture

and Puya were hesitating, Marlon had already moved chairs for the two, and after placing the chairs ten cubits in front of Woolley, Malone glanced at Vulture, walked to Woolley's side and stopped, and put on a respectful posture, Nerton saw him like this, smiled wryly and shook his head, and went out of the room to find hot yogurt for Woolley.

"You two knew each other beforehand, right, what kind of relationship? Woolley?" asked Woolley.

The vulture and Puya, who had just sat down on the chair, glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time, and the vulture hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to the master, Puya's sister and I used to be lovers.

"I see, no wonder you let Puya go, but that's all in the past. Woolley leaned back in his chair and said, "My name is Woolley, Woolley Grindor, citizen of Seneca City, and today, I spent a thousand gold coins on a vulture, and another eight hundred gold coins on Puya, guess what, why did I do this?"

The vulture shook his head, and Puya shook his head when he saw the vulture.

"Do you want to guess or don't dare to guess?" Woolley frowned, and as the number of slaves under his command grew, he became more and more unhappy that his words did not receive the expected response.

The vulture responded: "Back to my master, I have been trained as a gladiator since I was a child, and I don't know what else I can do to my master other than as a bodyguard or as a slave guard. After the vulture answered, Puya hesitated to speak, but finally did not dare to say it, if a mature or even old master asked like this, she might think in some way, but the young man in front of her was obviously not fully grown to that extent.

"Bodyguards, guard slaves?" Woolley smiled slightly, "Do you think the price I made today is just to get two bodyguards or guard slaves?

"

Sure enough, he was born as a gladiator, but he knows much more about the rules than ordinary slaves. Wu Lai nodded with satisfaction and said, "I offered this price because I think you are worth it, but don't think that it is because of your fighting skills, beauty, The posture makes me make this foolish, you should know, in terms of combat skills, you are not the top, in terms of body appearance, the same price, can buy me dozens or even hundreds, in the eyes of the world, the value of the gladiator lies in his winning rate, and in the eyes of my Woolly Greendo, the greatest value of the gladiator lies in his loyalty, loyalty, which means absolute obedience!".

"This Marlon beside me, when I bought him, it was less than twenty gold coins, and in terms of price, he is far inferior to you, but in my heart, he is the same as you, because he has dedicated all his loyalty to me, and this loyalty is different from the slave's obedience, different from the slave's groveling, and this loyalty refers to the loyalty in your bones. Brave and fearless, I need you to be loyal and fearless, as long as you give me this, I can give you the most precious freedom, Nerdon, my butler, he was my slave at first, although he is still a commoner, but in the city-state of Seneca, the average citizen will greet him seriously when he sees him, and entrust him to convey greetings to me, and Nerton will accept all this very calmly, because he has won it because of his loyalty.

"What is loyalty to me? My hand is pointing north, your gaze is like looking north, my sword is pointing north, your sword is pointing north, and when I advance, you must go side by side with me, and when I fall in blood, you must protect my body from being trampled by the enemy before exhaling the last breath in my chest! Woolley said.

"Understood, master. Seeing that Woolley had stopped narrating, Vulture and Puya were about to make their heads and said earnestly.

"Rest early, tomorrow we're back in Seneca City. Woolley got up and pointed to the vulture's right shoulder, "Your injuries are not light, pay attention to protection, otherwise you will never want to return to your previous state, Puya, before you returned to Seneca City, you were responsible for taking care of the vultures, taking care of them, and they were inseparable, but, don't do anything in private, I've heard before that many sisters-in-law like to play with their brothers-in-law in an ambiguous ......

." No one understood Woolley's last words, because he couldn't help but speak a language that was different from the Assyrian language, which was Woolley's habit, and he would do it when he wanted to say it but would make people feel frivolous when he said it.

Sister-in-law. As Woolley silently recited this title, a beautiful face appeared in his mind.

The vulture refused Puya's support, and walked back to the bed and sat down, Puya helped Malone move the chair back to its place, and then walked to the vulture's bed and squatted down, the candlelight in the room flickered a little, pulling the figures of the two on the wall to shake, Malone saw that the two were silent, so he shook his head and said: "Vulture, Puya, I guess you two are still a little unaccustomed, believe me, meeting the master of Woolley is definitely the greatest luck in your life." "

Marlon, have you been around your master for a long time?" asked the vulture.

"Well, it's been a while. Marlon sat on the floor beside his bed, took off the brass dagger from his belt and held it in his hand, "In Seneca City, the master is the most generous and benevolent citizen, and he is still a divine favor, have you heard of God giving harnesses?" The master's house was at least twenty times the size of the inn, and the slaves who lived under the protection of the master could eat three meals a day, and each meal was sufficient, and every other day, the master would arrange for two meats, and the lunch would be fish, and dinner would be fresh meat or jerky, and occasionally the other way around, and there would be a change of clothes and shoes all year round, and when the slaves were sick, they could take leave from work, and of course there were those who pretended to be sick, and when they found out, they would be ......whipped with black tiles."

Vulture and Puya gradually listened to it, and slowly, a look of yearning appeared in their eyes.

The return journey was faster than when he came, and before sunset on the first day, Woolly and his party arrived in the town of Pingfan, and if he could continue to do so tomorrow, he would be able to see the walls of Seneca City by the afternoon at most.

At dinner, Vulture and Pouya were allowed to share a table with Woolley, and after an initial shock, Vulture and Pouya quickly accepted this, as Woolley had said things like the order forbidden, and second, they could tell from Marlon's demeanor that the armed guard slave had long been accustomed to it.

"You two should remember that this is a gift from your master, but it does not mean that you can be pampered and arrogant, and forget to be respectful and polite. Nerton reminded seriously after the two sat down.

Vulture and Puya nodded hurriedly, and Woolley smiled slightly and diverted the topic: " Tomorrow we will be back to Seneca, for the two of you, it is a new home, you two must live in the White Rock Building before you are officially in charge of some work, but because of this, you must first learn to adapt to some things, such as rules, such as habits, of course, you can ask for anything in terms of diet, as for whether to agree or not, it is my business, as usual, you have to obey the arrangement of the first butler Gauguin, in terms of living, it is the Hippo butler, I believe that at this time tomorrow, Gauguin and Hippo Butler will talk about what to the two of you, so you may as well cherish this rare leisure tonight and have a drink with meBy the way, tell me about your gladiatorial experience, by the way, vultures can't drink, it's not good for wounds.

Woolley's words and attitude made Vulture and Puya immediately feel a lot more relaxed. Soon, as wine, fruit bowls, pastries, and bacon appeared on the table in front of the five of them, Vulture and Puya talked a little more. Puya is a woman after all, so she knows how to arouse Woolley's interest better than vultures, and specifically picks the funny part of the gladiatorial experience, which makes Woolley laugh several times. In contrast, the vulture's narrative is much more boring.

"Vultures, always immersed in the past, how can we start a new life?" said Woolley as he glanced meaningfully at the vultures before leaving the table.

The vulture was stunned and silently followed behind Woolley.
