Lucy touched Little Golden's head, with a faint smile on her face. She said that she was really destined to animals, or that there would always be something to accompany her, but that wasn't bad. Maybe this was what was in her soul. Maybe his talent.

And a certain existence deep in the city is also quite happy. Now that she can't occupy Lucy's body, can't she still occupy the body of a lion? It is also a good experience to be able to take advantage of it openly.

Just like now, those green eyes that were the same as Lucy's flashed a red light and then stuck out their tongue, gently licked Lucy's fingers, feeling the smell of blood between Lucy's fingers, that lion face An extremely weird smile appeared on his face.

On the stand, little Agrippina no longer had the interest to continue watching, but she was quite happy that the child she didn't like was sent here.

But he was also slightly unhappy because the child seemed to be growing up well without him asking.

Why could that child grow up like this after leaving him? Damn it, why could his beloved Nero only receive the education of an ordinary noble?

Little Agrippina didn't reflect at all. She was worried that her brother wanted hostages to threaten her, so she sent the child she didn't like to the palace. Now she started to blame the child she didn't like for getting her brother. love.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't speak, unless the new emperor chooses to pardon some of the fighters in the arena, otherwise, that child will never leave the arena in this life, and as long as she becomes the emperor's queen, Nero will naturally become this The heirs of the country, their family's power will be restored in the hands of their beloved son!

She can do anything before this! !

Lucy was just left behind by little Agrippina. In other words, if someone hadn't asked her to come here to see the angle, I'm afraid this woman would just treat the child she didn't like as dead, and that's not the case now. It's to throw this child he doesn't like into the depths of his memory.

What she has to do now is to love Nero even more. It is best to make everyone in Rome like Nero. This is hype, not a very difficult thing. It happens to be what little Agrippina is best at. Not only that, He also needs to dress himself younger and pay more attention to maintenance. Only in this way can he attract the emperor's attention! !

If you think that the emperor and his wife are monolithic, you would be totally wrong.

In the passage of time, little Agrippina really seized such an opportunity.

Claudius, the fourth emperor of the Roman Empire, was a conscientious person before he became the emperor. However, after becoming the emperor, Claudius changed. Perhaps he did not have the power and strength to let him go before. Indulging one's true image, or perhaps the prosperity of Rome, will really seduce those who hold power and slowly degenerate.

Although Claudius did alleviate the complaints in the hearts of everyone in Rome to a large extent and had certain political achievements, to a certain extent, it should be said that it is not a family with the same blood. In fact, from a certain To some extent, they are all crazy.

In order to cultivate his own power, the emperor freed his slaves and allowed them to participate in government affairs. This was the first time in the history of Rome.

In life, Claudius was quite lustful and indulgent, and even extremely interfered in his daughter's family affairs. Because his eldest son-in-law liked boys, which affected the relationship with his daughter, he sent someone to kill his daughter in anger. The eldest son-in-law, at that time, his eldest son-in-law was having fun with the boy he liked.

When one thing was not settled, another happened again. Because his youngest daughter had a quarrel with her fiancé, she complained angrily to her father Claudius. When Claudius saw that his daughter had been wronged, he did not ask any questions. It was so indiscriminate that they sent guards to behead the second daughter's fiancé.

It's just that compared to Caligula's anger and madness, what this emperor did seemed to be only within the scope of the family, so people can only sigh, what a benevolent emperor.

Occasionally, such words would come to Lucy's ears, and Lucy would only show a hint of ridicule under the golden mask. Caligula, this name is no longer mentioned by anyone. A lost nightmare, but no one will know that this nightmare wants to take the disaster away with it.

[In 48 AD, the emperor's son was more than 5 years old. Because he had experienced too many assassinations, the emperor began to deliberately choose the Imperial Guard for his son. After all, this was the only son who could inherit his position. 】

[Of course, the gladiatorial arena has also become the best place for selection. At that time, children of appropriate age will be gathered together in gladiator academies and arenas across the country, and a bloody selection will begin. 】

[Yes, this is Rome now, and there is no way to ignore the blood under the glory. 】

[Young people in the arena, I understand this truth more and more, and at the same time, I can see more and more that the beast entrenched under this city is growing stronger and stronger. 】

[At least in the dream, the image of the woman became more and more clear. 】

[The eyes with a bit of possessive desire also appear from time to time. Although I don’t know where they come from, it always makes Lucy a little uncomfortable. After all, as I grow older, I understand and understand more and more what is in my memory. Through my experiences and feelings, I always feel like an apple that may be swallowed at any time. 】

Chapter 221: Guard Selection

[Being regarded as an apple that can be eaten casually is not my ideal. Although as a famous gladiator, it is possible to go down in history, but how many of them are really remembered? 】

[It’s time for me to seek change. This selection is my best opportunity! 】

[In any case, only by leaving here can I better curb the growth of the beast. 】

[Even after so many years, I still don’t have much affection for that beast. The malice that penetrates into the bone marrow makes people feel scared. Even if it is wrapped in sweet tenderness, the most essential evil will still be felt by myself. 】

[No matter how many times the beast said it, he had only one answer. He would never let that evil be born in this city. 】

[However, the beast seemed to be confident about his birth, and even threatened that if he could stop him, he would just try to stop it. The city's depravity is already engraved in history, and its destiny has already been reached a predetermined end point. 】

Seven years is not a long time, nor is it a short time. Luci is already an 11-year-old boy. Because he grew up in this arena, he is taller and has a smaller figure than other people of the same age. More well-proportioned and stronger, the original little lion cub has become a mighty lion.

At the same time, as Lu Xi fought again and again, the name Golden Face became known to everyone. No one could accurately see what kind of face was under the mask, but the mask, hair, and hands flashed in the sun. The shield he holds has become a characteristic of this warrior.

There are many girls who fantasize about the face under the golden mask. Of course, there are also some jealous people who spread rumors that the face under the golden mask has serious scars.

Lucy had never taken off her mask during a battle. Even after a previous battle, the mask malfunctioned and almost fell off her face. In the end, Lucy always covered herself with a shield. face, retreating to the arena room.

Fortunately, little Agrippina has been trying her best to pry the emperor's corner over the years. Otherwise, if he hears that his son has made a name for himself, he will definitely feel very unhappy again. For Lucile It is said that little Agrippina was definitely not a qualified mother, and perhaps the same was true for Nero.

The time for assessment and selection soon came, and Luci also saw many children who came from gladiator academies in various regions. Compared with his own children, although these children had a touch of blood, they were still a little bit inferior. Even if these children are obviously a few years older than themselves, yes, these are all beings who can become real gladiators at any time.

After all, if you have the ability to have children, you are an adult.

Lucy had some hunch that this assessment might also be the final assessment for these Gladiator Academy students, and there were many girls among them. Speaking of which, these women had been preparing for the very beginning and were truly noble beings. , although there is also a certain degree of equality in Rome, men and women still have different desires after all. To become a female gladiator, one must have the blood of aristocrats.

At the graduation ceremony of the reserve force, they will kill their companions with their own hands as a reward and badge for becoming a true gladiator. At that time, the reserve gladiators who surrender will also be directly executed. The same goes for the boys.

Although gladiators were actors for people to watch and enjoy, their status in Rome was considered quite high and sacred.

Like those Christians... Strictly speaking, their status is different from that of the gladiators in heaven and earth, although they are both in this arena.

Among the people who gathered, Lucy was obviously the most special one, not only because of the golden shield and body, the golden limb armor, but also the dazzling golden hair, and the golden lion following beside him. If It was said that other gladiators were dressed like soldiers, so the blond boy in front of him obviously looked like a general.

A feeling that provokes everyone without even realizing it.

At this moment, almost everyone wanted to teach this boy with blond hair and a golden mask a lesson.

Feeling the slightly hostile eyes of others, Lu Xi could only smile helplessly. On the contrary, Jin Jin, who was following Lu Xi, had already made a grinning gesture. Although these reserve warriors had some fights with wild beasts, He has fought before, but this must be the first time he has faced off against an adult lion. At this moment, Jin Ke is in his prime.

Compared with the lion cub that was so thin that the people in the arena gave up on it, Jin Jin has now given birth to many litters of cubs with the female lion in the arena.

Lu Xi's disapproval attracted the attention of some people. At present, these reserve soldiers were obviously divided into two groups. One group made me, a kid who is younger than them wearing a gold mask, just pretending, and the other group thought that He behaved so calmly, and he must have his own confidence.

Sometimes hugging the thigh might as well be a good choice. If the boy with the golden mask is really strong enough, he may also be the captain of the prince's guard in the future. Say hello to his future captain. This kind of human sophistication is also a good thing. One of the ways for those living at the lower levels to live a more prosperous life.

In short, everyone has a different mentality, and the emperor, who was soon past middle age, brought his young and beautiful wife to the arena.

Maybe it's because she has been with the corrupt principles born in the bustling city for a long time. Now Lucy seems to be able to see the aura of corruption from people's bodies. Now the pink on the queen's body has become so rich that It was hard to look directly at him, and of course the aura on the emperor's body couldn't be tolerated either.

It’s hard to imagine how the emperor could still be so lustful at such an old age?

Not only that, the emperor's aura was somewhat unimaginably arrogant, and there was no trace of being favored by the gods. Well, it's no wonder that such an emperor couldn't see the evil hidden under this city. .

Lucy couldn't help but clenched his fists. Sometimes he suspected that the evil force entrenched under the city was targeting him for no reason. Maybe there were some problems with the bloodline of the men in their family. In that peaceful place, Beneath the surface may be madness.

Chapter 222: Seeing through the eyes of depravity

Next to the emperor stood a beautiful boy with brown hair. Lucy was sure that this was the emperor's prince. He was indeed the beautiful boy the Romans called him. You must know that in the arena, which is considered a vulgar place, there are many Everyone has some special thoughts about this prince. After all, as long as the prince agrees, then there is no problem for them to have fun together.

This is not the following crime, at most it is sacrificing one's body for the prince's interest.

I have to say this is very Roman.

It's not that Luci can't understand the love of beauty among these Romans, but he always feels that if this mentality continues to grow unchecked, it will one day turn into a fruit tree with evil consequences, or it's not just this mentality, Any kind of mentality, if there is no limit and scale, will lead to bad consequences.

It's just that no matter what era, not everyone can abide by that scale.

Today's Rome is going further and further on the road of transition. Although it is as prosperous as that beast, the growing environment is becoming more and more nourishing. If you think about it carefully, in this selection of the prince's guards, some people not only want to change their own In addition to identity and destiny, there should also be people who have thoughts about the prince himself.

After all, Lucy has also been harassed over the years. Of course, those who harassed Lucy were either thrown away by shields, or fed the gold around them, and some indulged in unexplained lust when she inquired again. Excessive death, or appetite or other desires, from this point of view, Lucy is quite grateful to a certain beast.

"Five people, I don't care how many of you are on the field now, whether you have formed an alliance before, or whether you have hatred against each other. I only want the last five people standing on the field. Do you choose to kill the others or beat them until they lose their strength?" It doesn’t matter your ability to move, it’s all your choice, I just want the results.”

This once mediocre and cowardly emperor now showed unimaginable tyranny, or in other words, madness and willfulness in his heart.

Thinking about it, it’s not surprising that the emperor behaved like this. When he was a child, he did not live the life that an emperor should have. He was lame and had physical defects since he was a child. Even his mother described him as a "freak." "Claudius has been ignored and ridiculed, so he spent most of his youth drinking, playing dice and academic research. It was not until the age of 46 that he took up an official position.

Not long after that, he became the emperor and managed the entire empire relying on his academic skills. Then he received cheers and applause from everyone. After all, compared with the previous tyrants, his shortcomings seemed nothing at all.

This transition from below the valley to above the peak always makes people feel elated.

At the same time, it also made the emperor enjoy the power of being an emperor even more. The black spots that seemed to have been solidified by power were constantly spreading on his body. Of course, the queen did not give much, and the two people were simply like In a race, it's the same who falls faster.

However, this depravity made everyone feel that there was no problem, as if everyone was the same, so he appeared wise. If such an emperor were seen in the eyes of some emperors, he would probably be sprayed to death.

"Then...let's begin."

Following the emperor's order, the quick-reacting reserve gladiator picked up the weapon in his hand and waved it directly at the people around him, decisively and at the same time ruthless.

Some of these people are already prepared to kill their companions, and some have received some advice from their instructors before coming here and stayed among strangers, so that they can start less easily. Sympathy.

Of course, compared to those real companions, these people have already received repeated hints and education when they became preliminary gladiators. The people around you may be your enemies and cannot accompany you to the end, so kill They should have realized that they should have killed the people around them. Now that they were killed by their companions and they did not react, they could only say that they were not trained enough.

Many people also launched an attack directly towards Lu Xi's location.

Although he didn't look back, Lucy still threw his body down with great precision, dodging the slashing blade. At the same time, he waved his arm back and hit the shield directly on a warrior's face like a slap. The golden shield The force brought by the swing directly caused the bones in the young warrior's face to shatter and fracture.

Even if it didn't kill him, this heavy blow was enough to make him unable to wake up in a short time.

Another warrior who attacked Lu Xi was directly bitten by the gold and fell to the ground. The next moment, the sharp teeth bit directly towards the throat of the warrior, and the next moment blood was sprinkled directly on the ground.

Killers are always killed. Since you are ready to attack yourself, then be ready to be killed by yourself. I am not an innocent novice. I have said that the arena does not believe in tears and innocence.

After several people saw Lu Xi's crisp action, they immediately confirmed their initial thoughts, which was - hug the thigh!

Although the emperor said that there can only be five people standing on the field, smart people should choose to temporarily unite. Fighting alone is what a reckless man does. Killing everyone around him without a trace of friendship is cruel. Even if they pass the selection in the future, I'm afraid not many people will be willing to entrust their backs to such a companion.

The Guards being selected now are not real gladiators, so they should change. After all, the Guards and gladiators are two identities. The latter only have enemies around them, while the former have companions and soldiers around them. After all, they are different from actors.

Lu Xi was also resisting the attacks of others in order to find people who could cooperate. He soon met the eyes of several teenagers. Although he did not know the details of the other party, at least he had the intention to cooperate, so he could try first. After fighting side by side and running in, Lu Xi still has some confidence in his own strength.

The most important thing is that if he is contaminated with the aura of depravity, even if Lucy meets the eyes of these people, he will not cooperate. To a certain extent, these eyes are indeed thanks to the evil man entrenched underground. beast.

Because of these eyes, Lucy sometimes thinks, does that beast really want to be born in this world, or does it want someone to stop her?

Lu Xi shook his head gently, suppressing this consideration in his heart for the time being. It was more important to pass the test first, so he casually knocked out a warrior who was approaching him and wanted to attack him.

Chapter 223: The body of an evil beast

Come on, follow my left hand and right hand in slow motion, right hand and left hand in slow motion replay... Bah, wrong, come again!

Come! Draw a dragon with me on the left and a rainbow on your right, let’s go! Come on, draw a rainbow with me on the left, and draw a dragon on your right, don’t stop~

wrong! wrong!

Maybe it's because there are too many people on the field, there are too many beings who want to challenge themselves, and the shields are waved more and more frequently, but the strength of these beings is only average, at least in Lucy's opinion, it is average. After all, strong people will not rush in front of him at this time, they are trying their best to ensure their own condition.

Therefore, when faced with such a warrior who could be defeated by his own shield, Lu Xi actually tapped the shield into a rhythm. This gesture of breaking through the siege in one fell swoop naturally attracted the attention of the current emperor. In fact, now The emperor had no idea how much the previous emperor Caligula loved his nephew.

Little does he know that the boy in front of him is Caligula's nephew. Of course, strictly speaking, this boy is also related to him by blood, and he can be called uncle by this boy. But the emperor in front of him, although relatively speaking, is People call him a wise king, but unfortunately, he is not wise to his relatives, especially those who are qualified to inherit the throne.

I have said before that in this era, it is very normal to plot against someone, or to kill someone with poison. If you see the heir who has the priority to inherit the throne and dies inexplicably, you will silently wonder if he is the emperor. That's it.

Of course, because the bloodline held by Luci's lineage is too noble, if you really want to carry out assassination, it will easily attract resistance from other nobles. In any case, Octavian, the first emperor of this generation of empire, is The great one in the hearts of all people in the Roman Empire.

Forget it if it is just the blood of Octavian, there is also the blood of Agrippina the Great, the most chaste person respected by all Romans. Adrippina the Great only died for more than ten years, and her reputation is now Zheng Gao, even the emperor must consider public opinion.

After half a day of this selection battle, there were only a few people standing on the field. Luci propped the shield in his hand on the ground and put his hands on the edge of the shield, acting extremely relaxed, and in Lucy was already standing beside her, and four other warriors looked at each other and prepared an alliance.

Those standing on the field today are basically like this, an alliance team.

Of course, others were not as relaxed as Luci. Luci also understood that his physical ability may have surpassed that of normal humans, and all of this was due to a certain beast.

Lucy hadn't noticed that her eyes occasionally turned red before. It wasn't until she woke up in the morning that she found a looming dragon scale-like pattern on her arms, exuding an aura of depravity and destruction. Lucy didn't notice. When it came to his abnormality, Lucy understood from then on that perhaps she could no longer be considered a fully human being from the moment she was targeted by that beast.

How could a body that could withstand the city's depravity be just that of an ordinary human being?

When she thought of this, the good mood in Lucy's heart disappeared without a trace.

But soon Gold's shout brought Luci back to his senses. The other warriors who had joined together were ready to fight, and he had to cheer up again.

Looking at the four people behind him, Luci raised the shield in his hand again. Because he did not intend to take the life of his opponent, Luci had not yet drawn out the sharp blade of the shield and the two daggers hidden in the shield. , but if these guys in front of me go too far, I don't mind letting the shield's blade be stained with blood.

After Lucy's observation, among the remaining people, the only one who could pose a threat to him was the young warrior holding a heavy hammer in his hand. The front of the heavy hammer had an awl-like design, which could easily cause damage to his own shield. Destruction, especially the detailed mechanisms inside the shield, but it doesn't matter. Even if there is a problem with the mechanisms inside the shield, I can use violence to solve the problem.

The two sides determined their opponents almost as soon as their eyes met. The one who faced Lu Xi was naturally the one holding the heavy hammer.

Lucy glanced at the four people following her, one of whom was a female gladiator, "Everyone, although we met by chance and met for the first time, as teammates now, please feel free to leave your back to your companions. , I hope that after this final battle, it will still be the five of us standing on the field."

Luci smiled at these teammates, "Although this is our first time working together, I still want to say that I am very happy to fight side by side with you."

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill:]

[Body of the Evil Beast (False)·C: This is a fallen beast that was born from human development and grew from prosperity. It gives itself the blessing of valuing the body. This is a physique that surpasses humans, whether it is strength, speed or endurance. The magic power is stronger than that of normal people. As the contact with beasts becomes more frequent, the level of skills will be higher, and the magic eye is also the embodiment of this skill. ]

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill:]

[Characterism·C: With this skill, you can easily command and inspire a team. ]

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people who can be summoned by Lu Xi are certainly not bad in nature. In such a situation, of course they all showed a smile, then took a deep breath and prepared for the final battle.

Lucy took the lead and rushed out to set up her shield, preparing to meet the heavy hammer in the hands of the young man in front of her.

The sound of metal colliding with metal was heard, and at the same time there was some magic spreading outward. It was obvious that not only Lucy, the young man holding a heavy hammer, also had magic.

The boy holding the heavy hammer showed a smile when he saw that Luci actually caught his hammer with a shield, "I said you also have magic power, right? Having magic power is your confidence, but unfortunately, and The collision of my weapons was your fault! My magic power is born with the power of crushing and destruction!"
