Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 252 The body, hair and skin, received by the Heavenly Father.Dare not to damage, the beginning of devotion

Following Cao Jian's command, two rows of people walked over at irregular steps.

They were all wearing beige thick jackets and trousers, probably paid for by Cao Jian, trying to make them look uniform and orderly.It's a pity that the state of these people is really hard to compliment.After walking to the opposite side of Guo Kang, after stopping, it was still sparse, and it was not easy to organize the team.Cao Jian had no choice but to do it himself, pushing a few people who stood too maverick back into the team.

"Hey, I'm in trouble." Even Guo Kang, who was not very experienced, felt that these people were not in a good state, so he muttered in a low voice.

He thought for a while, put on a routine tone, and said to Cao Jian: "The first batch of candidates is very important to all of us. Are these reliable recruits? How many of them are from good families?"

"I... tried my best to choose." Although Cao Jian was obviously a little tired, he still tried his best to remain serious and said, "This is our most critical cooperation. How can I deliberately give you a shoddy?"

Guo Kang was noncommittal, turned his head and shouted in Chinese: "Raise your right hand!"

All the Ross people looked at each other in blank dismay, and many of them also looked at Cao Jian, as if they didn't understand.

"Raise your right hands!" Guo Kang shouted again in Greek.

Two raised their right hands, while the others remained bewildered.Some people also raised their hands, but it seemed that they couldn't tell which one it was, and there were people on both sides.There was a moment of confusion in the queue.

Guo Kang shrugged, showing an expected expression.

He pulled Cao Jian aside and emphasized again: "Let me ask you, how many of them are from good families."

"Look now, how can the people of Ross have a good family. They are all selected from the city." Cao Jian said helplessly: "These people are the best warriors I can find so far. "

"Okay..." Guo Kang had no choice but to nod, stepped forward, and looked at them.He also reached out and patted a few of them to see if they were really strong, or if they were supported by winter clothes.

However, after checking a few people, he just sighed.

"How about it, can I have it?" Cao Jian asked.

"If it's reliable, I definitely want it." Guo Kang shook his head.

Cao Jianzheng felt a little strange, but saw Guo Kang grabbing one person's sleeve.Swipe up to reveal the tattoo pattern on the forearm.

"Tattoos."

Guo Kang grabbed his sleeve, turned his head, and said to Cao Jian.

Cao Jian had a bitter face, not knowing what to say for a moment.And the strong man whose sleeves were pulled, immediately frowned and widened his eyes, obviously very unhappy, just here, he didn't dare to attack.

"Hey, forget it, let's do this first." Guo Kang could only shake his head: "But let's agree, no matter what happened before, after entering the camp, you have to obey the orders of the army. Since you want me to take care of it, then Naturally, the other military officials and I have to declare the rules and enforce military discipline. When the time comes, Brother Cao, don’t blame us for being strict.”

"No, no." Cao Jian quickly said again and again: "It's just as long as you act impartially. Of course I support it."

Guo Kang nodded, and took out the official document of his adoptive father: "Lukas Schwartz Eisen."

"Yes!" Lucas, who had been distracted by the side and didn't know what to think, suddenly stood up straight and replied loudly.

"According to the order of the War Commander, you are in charge of the hundreds of households who will temporarily replace these soldiers." Guo Kang said briefly: "If everything goes well and the performance here is qualified, I will send you your vine cane after a while."

"Yes!" Lucas also didn't say a word.

Guo Kang handed over the official document to him in front of everyone.Lucas saluted again, then stepped aside.

"As for you." Guo Kang looked at the group of Ross people and paused for a moment: "This is a rare opportunity, I hope you can all be good Romans."

"Over." He added.

After speaking, Guo Kang ended his very concise opening speech and signaled Lucas to take care of them.

Cao Jian seemed a little surprised by this, but Guo Kang really felt that this was enough.It's annoying to talk too much, and it is estimated that a lot of these people will have to be eliminated.When it is officially determined, he will say more.

Lucas, the agent of a hundred households, is very familiar with dealing with these people.When walking towards the edge of the clearing, someone seemed to be dissatisfied with his decision, and was beaten up by him.

The big man who was almost as tall as him was knocked down by him in two hits.Seeing their teammates being beaten, the originally agitated team calmed down and returned to a state of order.

"Look. This is a suitable officer that my father specially helped to find." Guo Kang said to Cao Jian: "Don't worry, we will try our best to train them here. When it comes time to go out, at least they can go with the brigade. "

Cao Jian seemed relieved and thanked him.The two exchanged a bunch of nonsensical polite words to each other. Guo Kang saw that he was very tired, so he suggested that he go back and rest first.Cao Jian was very grateful this time, nodded, and left.

"The time to talk to him is not as long as waiting for him." After he left, Joanna whispered to Guo Kang.

"Isn't this just a routine thing?" Guo Kang didn't care too much: "But he really changed the clothes for these people temporarily, and he paid for it..."

"Well, is it enough to visit?" he said to Joanna.

Joanna nodded, but was very interested in another matter: "Why did you think of looking at that person's arm just now? Does it have any meaning?"

"I think I've seen that person somewhere, it seems to be at the theater." Guo Kang thought for a while and said: "Many barbarians have this custom, and people in the market also like this kind of decoration. But these days, We try not to pick someone like that into the military."

"Is this a Roman tradition?" Joanna asked.

"Yes, since the classical period, this is the symbol of prisoners and slaves. Later, even the tattooing system on the forehead was abolished by Constantine the Great. Because Rome accepted the worship of God at that time, everyone believed that The human body is created by the Heavenly Father, and it is disrespectful to the Heavenly Father to deliberately graffiti on it." Guo Kang told her: "This kind of tattoo basically symbolizes the banditry. Serious believers will not in use."

"On the other hand, many barbarians have a tradition of tattoos, such as the Celts. These tattoos are related to their primitive religion, and regardless of the barbarians or their religion, they are symbols of uncivilization in the eyes of the Romans. So , and decent citizens avoid it as much as possible.”

"In the past few decades, this kind of custom has also become popular in some cities in Europe. Most of them have too many people coming and going, so it is inevitable. But when we select soldiers, we are more inclined to the Roman tradition. These people are obviously not A reliable source of troops."
