Gaius Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who left his mark on history, returned to his mansion, and the flowers and cheers in the squares and streets still seemed to surround him, giving him a smile of contentment.With the help of his attendants, he removed his ornamental armor and sat down in his favorite wide chair and began to think about something.He was thinking about the rule of Rome – his own rule.He had just completed the final purge of this great country, and the two men who started the rebellion, Pompey's two sons, had been completely defeated by the Roman army, and Caesar found that his rule over the country had reached an unprecedented peak, and there was no longer any tripartite politics, and there was no need to appoint any more power-sharing consuls for himself, he had become the only ruler of the kingdom in fact, so what kind of identity should this sole ruler have?
Caesar was thinking that he had no intention, or could not find an opportunity, to undermine Rome's long-standing parliamentary system, so that he would not become an emperor, and that the most appropriate position for him would still be the consul of the republic, but that would be the only consul, and perhaps it should have a new name, such as dictator.Caesar's mind drifted a little, as if he had seen the Republic and his glorious future, he didn't know that he was about to face the murder, and he didn't know that in just a few decades, his adopted adopted son named Octavian would complete the transformation of Rome from a republic to an empire - he didn't know that the Ragnarok that was ending the rule of the gods was happening far away from the world, he only knew that it seemed that an uninvited guest had broken into his room, The guards waiting outside the room didn't move at all.The windows were closed, but a breeze whirled abruptly through the room, and Caesar looked up in the direction of the draperies, and saw two men and two women standing there—the four mysterious uninvited guests, surrounded by a hazy mist, who could only make a rough look out of their figures, but could not discern any detail of their features, and they appeared abruptly in the room, as if they had been hidden behind pillars all along.Of course, there could be no one hiding in the room, Caesar had double-checked it when he entered the room, and the hazy fog that hung around the two men and women was enough to say something: they held powers beyond human comprehension, either divine or demonic.In this era, the activities of the gods are not far away for humans, and many kings and priests have had at least two or three experiences dealing with the gods in their lives, and Caesar is certainly no exception, so he quickly calmed down and maintained the greatest majesty that he could maintain as a human at the moment: "What are you looking for me?
”He didn't ask where the names of the two men and women in front of him came from, because common sense meant that it was pointless to ask such a person with extraordinary powers, and might even lead to unnecessary calamity.Hasselblad stepped forward: "Gaius Julius Caesar, we're looking for you to ask some questions. ”Caesar's eyes glanced to the side, as if he was looking for something that could be used as a weapon, but he did not hesitate: "Ask." ”"Have you ever heard of a name—Vivien Ansesta," Hasselblad asked, "she is a member of the gods, but she should be traveling in your realm at this moment." ”Caesar's eyes froze instantly, and then a strange look began to appear on his face—a look of indignation and embarrassment, but at the same time he tried to control his expression so as not to lose his grace.Hao Ren hid in the magical mist, and he knew what was going on with Caesar's expression: it looked like Vivien had already kicked the Lord into the moat once......
Although it was unfair to Caesar, Hao Ren felt that this was good news, which showed that the other party had already contacted Vivien.It makes sense that Hao Ren chose to come to Caesar to inquire about the situation, because he had heard it when he had gossiped with Vivien before, who had known Caesar since the time of the Roman Republic, and had dealt with him more than once—Caesar was able to complete the foundation of the later Roman Empire and create a great cause that would go down in history, and even Vivien's help was indispensable.Although Vivien was wandering in the world and suffering from the curse of poverty and sourness, she still interacted with the locals whenever she visited a place for a short time, and in Rome, she had been active as a prophet, witch, and foreign god, and Caesar, a Roman with a keen eye and a bold speculative spirit, noticed this strange "prophet and god" early on, and asked Vivien for help at a great price.In the Gallic Wars, Vivien helped the Romans defeat their enemies with the power of plague blood, and allowed Caesar to fight all the way to the Germanic homeland - and after this war, the Greek gods uncharacteristically did not say anything about the Romans' seeking help from foreign gods, which made Caesar believe that he had found a great backer, and he even moved the idea of building a temple of blood in the city of Rome.But like every "god", Vivien Ansesta was also eccentric and moody, and Caesar still didn't know how he had offended the great god and was kicked into the moat......
And now, there are four more guys who don't know whether they are gods or evil spirits, and they want to find Vivian Ansesta by name, which makes Caesar's heart even more uneasy, he frowned, and suddenly felt that it was not a smart thing to be involved in these "gods"."
You don't have to worry," Hao Ren deliberately waited for a while to make Caesar think a few more steps in his heart before he spoke slowly, "We are her friends, you just need to tell us her whereabouts." ”"She did stop in the city of Rome," Caesar said cautiously, "but I could not find her except when she showed up on her own initiative—it was a god, and her whereabouts would not fall into the eyes of mortals." ”"You're not telling the truth."
Lily stepped forward, and with her own animalistic instincts she realized that this Caesar was really lying.Caesar's cheeks twitched, and he began to wonder if the few guys in front of him had the ability to distinguish lies, and then spread his hands helplessly: "I can't bear the wrath of the gods—whether it's yours or hers." ”"No one will vent their anger on you," Hasselblad's voice said with a wonderful magic, a subtle hint of spirit poured into his voice, "on the contrary, Vivien Ansesta will appreciate you more for your help to us."
Now tell us, where is Vivien?
”Caesar's expression was in a trance for a moment, but then there were signs of regaining his scenity: although he was only a human with no special powers, he had the will to surprise even the old witchers, and Hasselblad had to temporarily increase the intensity of the mental suggestion to suppress Caesar's will.Caesar's eyes were blank, as if in a dream, he spoke: "In the northeast corner of the city of Rome, a neighborhood next to the city walls, she often haunts there, if she wants to see you, she will definitely take the initiative to appear......"
Hasselblad retracted his magic: "Thank you for your cooperation." ”A breeze blew, and Caesar suddenly came to his senses, and when he refocused his gaze, there was no figure in sight.Looking at the empty room, and at the table not far away, he felt bored with the beautiful gifts presented to the Roman rulers from all over the world."
Anyway, why didn't you let me play just now?"
On the way to the northeast city, Heatherian glanced at Hao Ren a little unhappily, "I directly told that Caesar that I was looking for my mother, how can I use so much nonsense." ”"First, as far as I know, Vivien didn't show up in front of Caesar with you, so Caesar didn't know that there was a small oil bottle next to Vivian, and your sudden appearance could only make him more suspicious, and second, your words were too special to ruin the atmosphere, should I pretend to be easy?"
Heather Anna thought about it, jumped up and bit at Hao Ren: "Who are you talking about?!"
”Hao Ren skillfully resisted the sharp teeth of the bear child king: "At this time, you are not a drag oil bottle to Vivien, what else can you be?"
A little bat that has just cultivated to perfection can sweep all directions?
”The two of them didn't deal with each other as usual, even if they had been teammates for a short time on this plane travel journey.In this way of arguing and shouting, they found the neighborhood that Caesar had mentioned: near the city walls, a patch of buildings that looked more dilapidated than the others, two of which even showed signs of smoke from a small fire, around which some people were talking about the fire that had broken out in the kitchens of the two families the previous day.Hao Ren: "......
I sometimes wonder if Vivien had to choose a poor place to live, or if the place where she lived had become poor. ”Hethanna sighed, "It must be the second one—it used to be quite prosperous here." ”Everyone: Once the "......" entered the block, the task of finding the person fell to Hathanane and Lily, the former with a strong telepathy to Vivien, and the latter with a shocking dog's nose, and Hao Ren was no match for them in any way."
How?
Do you feel the breath?
”Although his liver often swells up when he quarrels with the little bat spirit, Hao Ren still talks to Hethanna when he is doing business, "Do you think of anything else?"
”"I haven't sensed the breath yet, but I do remember some bits and pieces......"
Hethiana said in a nostalgic tone, raising her hand to a stone wall not far away, "I've carved things on it before......"
Lily was sniffing and sniffing, and when she heard Hethiana's words, she looked up and immediately exclaimed, "Oh, little bat, there's something on the wall over there!"
