Chapter 213 The Colosseum (1)
Xie Minyun's 21/22 Cafe is located in the center of Rome, only two or three kilometers away from the Colosseum, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk. Therefore, Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun did not need to take a taxi, and the two of them walked along the quiet Rome at night
The street leads towards the Colosseum.
Although this large area established in the fifteenth century is considered young in ancient Roman history, it has a long history for Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun. Looking around, the stone streets are crisscrossed, and the buildings as far as the eye can see are full of
Renaissance classical style, walls made of yellow bricks, and endless protruding balconies. If it is the yard of a wealthy family, neat Italian pines and cypresses will be planted in it, while sycamores and peach trees are planted on the roadside.
Unfortunately, the season was wrong, and the peach trees only had bare branches, which looked very lonely under the orange-yellow street lights. The leaves on the sycamore trees were almost falling off, and only some fluffy cones and red leaves still refused to fall.
Soon Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun walked to the vicinity of the Colosseum and could see the magnificent building shrouded in lights. Cheng Mo turned his head and looked at the Colosseum in the night. Even though it was now broken after years of baptism, Cheng Mo
Cheng Mo could still see its former majesty from the gray-yellow travertine full of holes, and Cheng Mo felt a little excited when he thought that he would see its full picture later.
Xie Minyun seemed to have read through Cheng Mo's thoughts and said softly: "The Colosseum ruins are quite special. It is not a restoration of the ancient Roman Colosseum, but a modern arena...in the ancient Roman architectural style.
." After a slight pause, Xie Minyun added: "But its appearance should be consistent with history."
Hearing Xie Minyun's words, Cheng Mo felt a little regretful. As far as he was concerned, he still hoped that the Colosseum could completely restore the style of the time like other ruins. However, this regret was far from being a disappointment. He looked at the Colosseum.
Said: "It would be nice to see some, but you can't ask for too much."
"Actually, it's not bad. You can see some ancient Roman buildings when you go in. Unfortunately, our range of activities is limited and we can't go in deep. Otherwise, we can also experience the public baths in ancient Rome..."
"Hmm...are the toilets in the Colosseum an ancient Roman style toilet? Or..."
Xie Minyun chuckled lightly: "I was also very concerned about this issue when I first entered, so even if the carrier did not require using the restroom, I took a look. In my opinion, the restrooms in the Colosseum should have adopted
It's the style of ancient Rome, but the materials used are much more particular, and it's not popular at all. Maybe the bathrooms of the ancient Roman royal family should be like this... but it can be considered to have some reference value..."
"Then I'll go visit it later."
Xie Minyun nodded, then pointed to the west side of the Colosseum and said: "The entrance is at the Arch of Constantine. Do you need to put on a mask?"
"Are there many people inside?"
"Yeah! I specifically chose to come here today because there is a heavyweight match to watch today."
"What game?" Cheng Mo asked in surprise, "Isn't it difficult to see master battles under normal circumstances?" Cheng Mo has always wanted to watch the masters' actual battles on the Chosen Ones Forum, but usually there is only text review and no live video broadcast.
, and there is no video recording, because in order to prevent themselves from being studied by their opponents, most experts will not open the game to watch, let alone allow the game to be recorded.
"The 31st-ranked Joseph Alman versus the 39th-ranked Prince Aldeo. One of them is the heir to the Alman family and the controller behind the largest luxury goods empire lvmh Group, and the other is a Belgian prince.
permanent director of the rosicrucians
"It's something." Xie Minyun said in a low voice, "Under normal circumstances, master battles are rarely open for viewing, but there is a conflict between Joseph Alman and Aldeo, so this battle not only chose the deathmatch mode, but also
I bet on precious props..."
"The deathmatch mode is a mode where experience points are directly deducted and downgraded if you lose?"
"Yes, generally the chosen ones will not choose to fight to the death, unless there is irresolvable hatred, or the level gap between the two parties is too large. The weaker party will use high experience points, contribution points, and precious props.
Skills are stakes..."
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the west side of the Colosseum and could see the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine standing in the light, as well as the Italian policemen surrounding it. Cheng Mo thought that although not many people knew him, a nobody like him,
But you can experience it yourself
Chang regarded the carrier as his real body, and it would still be bad if he was seen. He guessed that Xie Minyun also took this into consideration before asking the question. Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and said: "Since there are many people, I'd better put on the mask. It's just the police.
Don’t you know how to pavilion?”
"No, they will only check your Chosen One Pass." As he said that, Xie Minyun also took out a white mask from his pocket and put it on his face.
The two people walked towards the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine and soon arrived at the cordon set up by the Italian police. The Arc of Constantine was behind a defense line composed of more than a dozen explosion-proof armored vehicles. Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun had just approached.
He was stopped by two Italian policemen wearing big-brimmed hats and red and black capes. One of them warned in English: "Sorry, please don't come close. If you want to visit, please wait until tomorrow."
Xie Minyun took out his pass from his jacket pocket and showed it to the other party. The other party took it and scanned it with a detector and immediately returned it to Xie Minyun. Then the police officer immediately looked at Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo also took out his own pass for the other party to review, and then he and Xie Minyun passed through the heavily blocked defense line and prepared to enter the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine surrounded by iron fences. Seeing that there seemed to be only a few people near the huge Arc of Constantine.
The two of them wanted to enter the Colosseum. Cheng Mo asked with some confusion: "Why does it feel like there is no one there?"
"In addition to the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine, you can also enter the Colosseum through the Arch of Titus, the Arch of Augustus and the Arch of Severnu in the ancient Roman Forum. In addition, many chosen ones who are keen on playing ranked matches have taken it.
The activation point is set inside the Colosseum, which will be more convenient..."
"No wonder." Cheng Mo adjusted his mask again, looked up at the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine, which was basically the same style as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and walked through the prototype building of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with Xie Minyun.
Just when he was about to walk out of the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine, Cheng Mo's eyes suddenly darkened. Cheng Mo had experienced this situation many times. It was like blinking hard, and he focused on the ancient Roman fighting beast.
Looking at the arena, I immediately discovered that the dilapidated Colosseum that originally stood there had disappeared, and there was only a brilliant building with lights burning under the bright moonlight.
It doesn't look like a stadium or an arena at all. Instead, it looks a bit like an extremely grand circular fortress, but it is much more majestic than the fortress, not only because of its large area and the construction material of giant white travertine stones.
Because there are countless sculptures holding golden metal swords in the rows of circular arches. Such sculptures wearing hooded cloaks are very familiar to Cheng Mo. He had seen them before when he first logged into the Chosen System. Enter later.
He also saw it when he was at the Pantheon...
Seeing Cheng Mo staring at the statues in the arch of the Colosseum, Xie Minyun said: "There are names engraved under those statues. The gods of the past have a place here, and the current statues of the twelve god generals stand inside the Colosseum.
, In addition, there is a golden statue as tall as the Colosseum at the main entrance to the east. It is the only statue in the Colosseum without a name..."
"Go take a look." Cheng Mo said.
