At dusk, Li Nan and Spartacus finally came back alive, but unfortunately they had more injuries than yesterday, and they were helped back by Barka and Ashur.

Spartacus, who was already seriously injured, became even more miserable today, and he couldn't stand anymore, and Li Nan also had several deep wounds on his chest and legs.

After sending the two to the treatment room, Quintus returns to his room with Ashur and today's earnings.

Ashur opened the purse, and the silver dinar fell onto the table with a thud.

Having poured a glass of bad wine, Quintus sat down in his chair and took a few sips before asking, "Do the math, is this money enough to pay off those debts?" ”

Ashur took out all the IOUs, calculated them for a while, shook his head and said, "Although I have made a lot of money in the past two days, this money can only pay off half of the debt. ”

Quintus didn't expect that he had given up his reputation and degenerated into the underground arena to make money, but he still couldn't repay these debts, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

After sitting for a moment, Quintus instructed, "Pay off the most pressing debts first, and let the grain merchant Odisvis' money be slowed down for now." ”

Ludia and her maid came in just at this time, and when she heard Quintus's words, the beautiful red-haired woman said, "Odisvis? That's the cousin of the Kapua administrator. My dear, if you owe him money, you're going to be in trouble! ”

Quintus stood up and came to Ludia's side, pretending to be confident, and smiled and comforted: "It's okay, his debt, I have a way to pay it off on time." ”

After finally reassuring his wife, Quintus frowned, picked up the IOU owed to Odisvis, and looked at it.

This grain money, which had been in arrears for more than three months, was a large amount, and Quintus had promised Odives a thirty percent increase in the price on the second day of the Feast of the Gods.

A few days ago, Odives had already sent someone to warn Quintus, and if it dragged on like this, I am afraid that this guy would really go to the administrator to complain.

After two glasses of bad wine, Quintus got up with Ashur and walked towards the infirmary.

In this gloomy room, there are only three people now, the strange old man, Li Nan and Spartacus.

Quintus called the strange old man, who was mending Spartacus' wounds, out the door and asked in a low voice, "How are the two of them doing?" ”

The strange old man pointed to the two people on the bed in the room and said, "Although the Serres man has a wound in his chest and leg, he should be fine after I stitch him up and apply the medicine." As for the Thracian man, he had too many wounds on his body and lost a lot of blood, and if he didn't go through a period of cultivation, he would probably die in the ring tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I see, you try to treat them, understand?"

"I see, master." The strange old man replied.

After entering the room, Quintus came to Spartacus's bedside and violently woke up the unconscious Thracian.

Spartacus, who woke up, looked at Quintus and asked weakly, "Master, do you have news of Sula?" ”

Hearing the words of this dying bastard, Quintus yelled angrily, "Money! I need money to get your wife back from the damned Syrians! ”

Spartacus gasped for a few gasps and asked, "What are my odds now?" ”

Quintus looked at Ashur and motioned for him to answer.

"Not good." Ashur explained: "You two have won six games in a row, and now the crowd is looking forward to you. ”

Spartacus lowered his head, and then said slowly and solemnly: "You can bet all your property on me to lose!" ”

Quintus instantly understood what Spartacus meant, and he confirmed with some disbelief: "You want to die in the arena and willingly let me make money?" ”

"I know I can't last long, as long as you are willing to give me a promise, as long as you make money, you will save my wife."

Quintus crossed his arms and muttered, "That's ......"

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Quintus said to Spartacus: "I can swear that if you can help me earn enough money, I promise to buy your wife back from the Syrians." ”

With two hands clasped together, Spartacus' mortal vow was fulfilled.

Li Nan, who was resting in the hospital bed next to him, had already woken up, and after Quintus and the others left, he said to Spartacus: "Is it really worth it for you to exchange your life for all this?" ”

"It's worth anything for Sulla!"

Spartacus struggled several times to prop himself up, sat up and said to Li Nan: "I know that you and Vero are good people, can you promise me to help me take care of Sulla in the future?" ”

Li Nan couldn't explain to him that he wouldn't stay here for long, so he could only say: "Spartacus, only by surviving can you protect your lover, you better think about it." ”

"Hehe......"

Spartacus pointed to the wounds on his body and said with a wry smile: "I'm like this, do you think I can survive a day?" ”

His injuries are indeed too serious, and tomorrow is the day Spartacus dies, and after half a ring, Li Nan said: "I will try my best to take care of Sula's ......"

After hearing Li Nan's reply, Spartacus closed his eyes and smiled with relief: "Thank you!" ”

----------------------------

The next day, Quintus took Li Nan and Spartacus and others to the underground arena as usual.

Because the winning rate of Li Nan and Spartacus is too high, in order to increase the odds, Quintus arranged for Li Nan a strongest opponent, the god of war who has not been defeated in fifty games in the underground arena, and Ixion the Skinner, who once killed Koze.

"Ixion the Skinner, has drawn a pair of short-handled double-edged battle axes!"

"The Bone Crusher Yellow Kill has drawn the sword and shield!"

"It's time to fight!"

Li Nan has a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and the tall and sturdy Ixion is holding a battle axe, and after the two of them walked into the ring, they each roared angrily and began to fight to the death.

There are not many fighting schools in this Roman world, and the gladiators learn the simplest fighting techniques from actual combat, and every move and style is straight to the point, so the fight is also particularly dangerous.

Ixion was originally an excellent gladiator, but was later castrated and sold to the underground arena because of an affair with a slave girl from his master's family.

He has won 50 consecutive fights and become the undefeated king of the underground arena, and he is definitely not a wasted person, whether it is strength, agility, resistance to strikes, victory**, or fighting experience.

This world is very strange, Li Nan, who has the power of four bulls, was suppressed by Ixion when he didn't break out, and the two double-edged battle axes in his hands slashed wildly, and Li Nan could only resist with his shield.

After these days of life-and-death struggle, Li Nan already had some experience in dealing with such an opponent, so he did not choose to fight hard, but gave full play to his advantage in speed and tried to dodge and consume the opponent's physical strength.
