"You, are you really, the Pope of the Holy See?" Luga pointed at him, his mouth couldn't close his mouth wide, he was very surprised, not because he admired him because he saw the Pope, but at this time, he would actually "pay a private visit" Also, Leo actually recognized Luga.

"Why, you look very surprised." Leo I looked at Luga and smiled, he had a completely unfazed expression, worthy of being the Pope, and naturally had some of his own abilities in such a position.

"No, no, nothing, just a little surprised, because I didn't expect Your Excellency to know my name, and I'm really a little flattered." Luga's hands were twisted together, and he couldn't speak a little uncomfortably.

But I want to come back, I was in the limelight some time ago, and there is no one in the whole city of Rome who doesn't know his name, and it's not surprising that I can say hello when I meet him. Thinking like this, the surprise that Luga had just ignited disappeared without a trace in an instant. He had never had any grudges with the church, and Luga was not familiar with him, so he must have some idea, how could a guy who couldn't even talk to the patriarch deceive the more intelligent and reliable Leo I?

Thinking of this, Lu Jia couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that he was a loser, and there was nothing he could say.

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Leo." Luga nodded at Leo, who looked displeased. "Uh, I have other things to do, so, I'm taking my leave, goodbye, goodbye."

"Oh, wait, wait, Luga!"

Just as Luga was about to turn around, Leo I stopped him behind Luga, what does this mean? Luga turned back suspiciously, only to see Leo I smile and say to him: "Why are you in a hurry to leave, in fact, I have come to find Your Excellency this time." ”

"Coming to me?" Luga pointed to himself, feeling that Leo I had spoken very surprisingly.

"Of course, Lord Luga." Leo I smiled, and continued: "I have also heard about Your Excellency's visit to the Senate Chamber, and I have heard the news of Your Excellency's defeat and feel that I should be able to help Your Excellency. ”

"Do you think I'm pitiful?" Such words did not make Luga's heart burn to think about the good side, his face immediately gloomy, and he thought to himself, could it be that this bastard is also here to laugh at him?

"Not really," Leo I shook his head, "I don't believe your lies as much as they do, but I see something else in your mind, and it intrigues me. ”

"Something else?" Luga didn't quite understand Leo I's words.

"Of course." Leo I nodded, and when he looked around, he felt that there were quite a few pedestrians coming and going, and it was not suitable for a discussion here. "Please come with me, Lord Luga." Leo I said, and led Luga and Andrew into the carriage.

"Where are we going? Also, why should I trust you? Luga stood under the carriage and looked up at Leo I.

"Oh, Lord Luga, now, you can choose not to believe me." Leo I shrugged his shoulders and continued, "But you don't have a choice, do you?" You can only believe in me, because I am the only one who can solve your difficulties. ”

"Solve the predicament..."As soon as the current predicament was mentioned, Luga immediately softened, Leo I was right, he did encounter a lot of trouble, if he didn't solve it as soon as possible, he was afraid that he could only take Andrew and the two back to the province. What if Marinius had learned that the Ninth Legion had run out? It must be to lead the subordinates of the Eastern Empire to go back, it must be like this. The more I thought about it, the more terrible it became, so terrible that Luga didn't dare to think about it.

"Luga." Andrew stood behind Luga and called, probably not knowing why Luga hesitated again.

"Alright, let's go." Luga let out a long sigh and followed Leo I into the carriage. The carriage stopped and went, and it took more than ten minutes to stop.

"Come with me." Leo I said and got out of the carriage. Luga followed, and when he got out of the carriage, he saw two semicircular arches, the gate open, and the guards in the doorway were holding their hands on their chests as a precautionary gesture, and the gate was full of commoners and nobles. It's very open-minded and delights guests from all walks of life, as long as you have money in your pocket.

"Diocletian's Baths, the largest in Rome, can accommodate the soldiers of six field regiments bathing in it, and of course, I also like it here, especially the private baths reserved for the nobles." Leo I said, taking a golden cross from his bosom, holding it in his hand, and showing it to the guard at the door.

"Welcome, Your Excellency." It seemed to be an old customer, and after just one glance, the guard hurriedly got out of the way.

"These two are my friends." Leo I said to the guards.

"I recognize." The guard saluted Luga slightly and said, "Flavis. Your Excellency Luja, it is a great honor for us to be able to bathe with us. ”

Luga hurriedly nodded in response, and walked into the bathroom with Leo I. It was crowded with people, nobles and commoners, who bathed in the public baths and enjoyed the hot water. There was even a lectern in the baths, where some of the senators and even Augustus would come to give speeches and exchange views with the crowd.

"The baths belong to the state, so all the income here goes to the state." Leo I has it in front of him, and he also introduces the baths.

As soon as the waiter saw Leo I coming, he didn't need to be reminded at all, so he said to Leo I, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

The group walked down the long corridor and finally came to a private room, luxuriously decorated, with marble floors and stone pillars, and a pool of water in the middle, filled with pure hot water and steaming on it.

The waiter poured bottles of bath salts into the pool and helped Leo I to take off his clothes, and Leo I did not feel any discomfort in front of Luga, and he slowly walked down into the pool and sat down.

"What? Don't like bathing? ”

At Leo I's repeated urgings, Luga was forced to take off his clothes and sit down opposite Leo I.

"Taking a bath can make the whole person relax, especially if you are frustrated, taking a bath can make your heart much better." Leo I was the first to start the conversation. I can understand your feelings, just as I did when I was a missionary in Gaul, and it was just as difficult. ”

"We could have put it bluntly, Pope." Luga also learned from the waiter outside to address Leo I: "Forgive my offense, my lord, I am really pressed for time. ”

"Well, I can understand." Leo I smiled and said, "I have learned from the senators who came to visit you how depressed you were, yes, Lord Luga, the reason why they rejected you was that you had too much uncertainty, but I can tell you with certainty that the people of the Senate will not help you, but I can help you, and I will meet your needs." ”

"Don't you need anything in return?" Luga then asked, "You must reciprocate, speak, Your Excellency." ”

"Oh, Lord Luga, you're really straight." Leo I rubbed his body with his hands and said to Luga with a smile: "Well, since you talk about my request first, then I will also say it bluntly. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Leo I looked up at Luga and said slowly: "I want you to enter Britannia in the name of God and purge the heretics there, of course, the Ninth Legion under your command will be composed of Christians and become a complete Legion of Christ." ”
