4. Roman Empire
"God asked you to help us, didn't he?"
Li Xiang hurriedly said, "Wait, my thinking is very chaotic now, and I need some time to sort out my thoughts." ”
The beauty smiled and said, "Oh! I think it's because you're new to this place, so you're not used to being here! ”
Li Xiang recalled that there was an illustration in the "Ancient History of the World" that there seemed to be a country called Anxi, which was also called Parthia, and the geographical location was located in present-day Iran, so he said: "Beauty, please ask, the figs you just said for me to eat are produced in Anxi?" ”
The beauty nodded.
"Do you know where the resting country is?"
"I remember my father said that it was east of Mesopotamia."
Li Xiang hurriedly said, "'Mesopotamia'? Isn't it Babylon? ”
The beautiful woman nodded and said, "Mesopotamia, it used to be called Babylon. ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: Babylon is not today's Iraq, and to the east of Iraq is Iran. At this time, I recalled some previous conversations with the beautiful woman, and thought: this beautiful woman said that Latin was their official language, and that Octavian was her "father", so she couldn't help but "Ah! "Yes.
"What's wrong! Are you okay! ”
Li Xiang rolled over and got out of bed.
The beauty hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm not going anywhere, I just want to walk around this house."
"Oh!" , the beauty thought to herself: The one who came down from the sky is really different from us.
Li Xiang paced back and forth, thinking.
The beauty just looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang suddenly asked, "Where is my phone?" ”
The beauty said: "'Hand chicken'? What kind of chicken is a hand chicken? ”
Li Xiang explained while gesturing with his hand.
According to Li Xiang's detailed description, the beauty finally understood what it was, so she took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her pants that Li Xiang was wearing before and handed it to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang took his phone.
***
The mobile phone in Li Xiang's hand was specially customized by Li Xiang, chairman and chief executive officer of Caesars Holdings, Apple, a VIP-level partner of Caesars Holdings, to celebrate the first anniversary of Caesars Holdings' listing.
This mobile phone is compatible with 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G communication signals, and can also directly connect to satellite communication signals when mobile communication signals cannot be received normally.
The shell is made of high-end titanium alloy, 5-inch 4K intelligent touch screen, 128G storage space, front 12 million pixels, rear 24 million pixel camera, equipped with three sets of power storage systems, namely (conventional) lithium-ion batteries, photokinetic batteries and artificial electric energy batteries, in addition to shockproof, fireproof and waterproof, there are countless super functions.
What makes Li Xiang most proud and proud is not the invincible configuration of this phone, nor the super features, but the two small pieces of text on the back case of the phone: "Apple Is Made For Li Xiang".

Li Xiang searched for the information he wanted in the mobile version of the "Great Encyclopedia" (history volume).
Gradually, Li Xiang's thinking became much clearer, and he was sure that he was not in some heaven at all, but was sent to ancient Rome by that strange light.
After seeing some of the information on the phone, Li Xiang had to subconsciously look at the beauties around him, and thought: She called Octavian her father, is she the "Flower Princess" who was degraded by historians to Octavian - Julia? So I couldn't help but smile evilly, thinking: She looks so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth, of course she has the capital to "spend"! Then he said, "Are you Julia?" ”
The beauty was very curious and said, "How do you know my name?" ”
Li Xiang smiled, shook the phone, and said, "It told me." ”
"It's amazing!"
"Actually! Money is the most amazing thing. ”
"'Money'?"
"Yes! Without money, it can't belong to me! Li Xiang couldn't help but recall the loss of all his wealth because he was betrayed by his girlfriend and felt sad.
"Huh? Can you tell me why you have a model of torture instruments on your body? Julia asked.
"'Torture Instruments'?" Li Xiang thought for a long time, and then said, "What torture instrument?" ”
"Originally, it was in your hand, and I saw that he was a bit like a pendant of a necklace, so I put it on the necklace on my own initiative, and then I wore it around your neck."
Li Xiang lowered his head and could see that the colorful cross on his chest had fallen, and said, "Oh! You're talking about the cross! ”
"Isn't it a torture instrument? It seems that only non-Roman citizens who have committed serious crimes will be crucified?! ”
"To be honest, I don't know much about the usefulness of the cross."
"My father thought that God had sent you to abolish the torture of the cross, and he planned to discuss with the senators tomorrow at the regular meeting of the Senate about the abolition of the torture of the cross."
Li Xiang thought to himself: If the cross is canceled now, what will Jesus do in the future? Isn't the religious history of Christianity going to be changed, and it will not be canceled until after Jesus was crucified!
Thinking of this, Li Xiang remembered the foreign driver who drove a taxi to take him who looked like Jesus before, so he hurriedly said, "Can you take me to meet your father?" ”
"Yes! I'll take you there now. ”
At this time, Li Xiang's stomach disease was committed, and for a while, the stomach pain was terrible and extremely uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with you?" Julia asked hurriedly.
"I'm sick, you can help me bring me the medicine in my jacket pocket."
"'Medicine'?"
"Forget it, I guess you don't know what the medicine I'm talking about, you can just help me bring my clothes."
Julia took the clothes to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang took out the "Wei Bikang", known as the "magic stomach medicine", from the pocket of his clothes, and then said to Julia: "Could you please pour me a glass of water?" ”
Julia poured the cup full of water and served it to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang took medicine and recovered not long after.
Julia thought it was amazing and was surprised, "Are you okay?" ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Julia exclaimed, "What a god!"
"Let's go!" Li Xiang said.
Julia nodded.
***
Octavian now shut himself in his study, sitting quietly in his chair alone.
Because of the previous assassin incident, it was difficult to calm down, and the current first suspect turned out to be Achillus, who had worked with him for many years.
Octavian thought to himself: Could it really be that Achillus would have done such a thing? If even Ashiluth would betray him, then I wonder who else can be trusted? So he sighed deeply.
Octavian got up and took off his clothes, and took off the "stab-proof vest" (similar to a modern bulletproof vest) designed by himself, and inadvertently checked it with his hand, feeling that this vest was much lighter than the one he had worn before, so he hurriedly took out a dagger from the drawer, and cut through the vest, and a small piece of the horse-leather wrapped sheet in the vest fell down and landed on the table, and Octavian stabbed the dagger hard, and the sheet was directly pierced.
Octavian tore off the horse's leather that wrapped the sheet, and the original piece of iron was replaced with a much thinner piece of copper, so that it was easily pierced by a dagger, and it was clear that the waistcoat had been repackaged.
