Since they were about to be sent to the gladiator school, the two were assigned light tasks. As of now, Zhang Heng had still not experienced the cruel oppression of the evil slavery system created by the current society.
As if he had completely forgotten about them, the overseer did not come to them to assign them new tasks after they had finished their work. Hence, Zhang Heng and Varo made use of the time for a short break.
Zhang Heng started communicating with Varo a little more, trying to get as much useful information as possible. His knowledge of ancient Rome was limited to only the more famous historical figures and historical events. Varo, on the other hand, was different. Before he became a slave, he was a Roman citizen and a businessman. He was well informed about current happenings. Although he had a burly figure, he was very kind, probably feeling sorry for what he did to Zhang Heng earlier. Hence, he answered every question that Zhang Heng posed.
