Chapter 199 Expanding 1 Depth of Human Nature Exploration
The shouts of cheering in the Colosseum of Athens came one after another: "Somoki—come on! Somoki—come on! Kill that Spartan!" Hehe, you heard that right, that's what those people shouted, just On the home turf of the Greeks.
You don't necessarily think it's strange, do you?Could it be... Somoki came to Greece to challenge this time, and in order to create momentum, he specially brought a lot of Persians onlookers?It's like when a certain team in the later era went to a foreign country to play, there would be many enthusiastic fans who bought air tickets and flew to other countries to cheer for the team they supported?It's a pity that it is not. Those who shouted Moqi's name and hoped that he would win again were those Athenians who bet heavily on him.
The reason is very simple. In the first battle, Jokerius suffered a serious setback. Of course, the gamblers who originally supported Greece immediately turned their backs and defected to Somoki. The ratio has been increased to 1:400, while Somoki's is only 1:20, but there are very few people who are willing to continue to support the Spartan brothers.
Among the bettors, some even borrowed usury loans to bet that the foreigner would win in order to make back the initial loss.People's hearts, that's it, when you win them a bet and make a fortune, they call you a hero; when you let them make ends meet and lose everything, they hate you to death.
At this time, they will call you "Spartans", and they themselves are "Athenians". Although they are all Greeks, they are all blood compatriots from the Peloponnese Islands, but they will comfort you like this Self: Yes, fuck that Spartan to death. Anyway, we are not the Athenians who are ashamed.
Hehe, just as in the history of the East of the Earth at about the same time, there was a man named Sima Qian who wrote such a famous sentence in "Huozhi Biography" - "The world is prosperous, it is all for profit; the world is crowded, it is all for profit." Towards”, the storyteller felt very insightful.So it is still the same sentence, no matter how the times change, human nature will not change, and we can get a glimpse of it from this.
Let's go back to the tense atmosphere of the arena.The architectural structure of the Colosseum is similar to that of the ancient Roman Colosseum. On the whole, it presents a circular surrounding row of seats, a masonry structure, and a huge circular bullpen in the middle.If you are fighting a land animal, you can just do it directly in it. If you are fighting an aquatic animal, you only need to fill it with water.
At this moment, the water dragon has already entered the water, and the lower half of its body is submerged in the water. On the neck behind the tall and straight dragon head, there are Somoki brothers standing holding the rein—for the convenience of the following statement, we will call them For "Left Moqi" and "Right Moqi" Haha.The arrogance of that standing posture - because they are villains, I don't need to describe them as "heroic", but...Although they are actually very tall and strong, they are not "villains" at all, their muscles are hard and protruding, not to mention their bare upper body, their knotted leg muscles can be seen clearly under the tight fabric Chu.
Fortunately, there is a fence in the middle of the pool, blocking the two confronting creatures in the water, otherwise it feels like the substitute phantom duck is going to "piss its pants" in fright—well, although it doesn't wear pants, and we will see if it really does. not come out.Fighting beasts are all spiritual creatures. Even in the tragedy that happened a few days ago, the water in the pool has been completely replaced and the walls of the pool have been carefully cleaned. The water dragon that can't wait to rush over immediately has obvious fear in those eyes.Poor Phantom Duck!
On the edge of the arena, Ugneon, the master who is about to fight side by side with it, is still "short of heroism and love for children", arguing with Melodi who came to watch the battle, even under the impatient urging of the audience , Cheers, still did not play for a long time.
