Happy New Year everyone!!!!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Kara" Dmitrius saw the cold light on Calabis's waist, recognized him, and subconsciously shouted.

In this brief moment, Calabis said in his heart, "It's just enough to kill the Jews, but Van Lunjuna is innocent, I can't kill, I can't kill!" ”

Then his fur fluttered, and his eyes seemed to open behind himβ€”the swords of several big men behind him were aimed at his back and waist.

"Ahh A big man screamed, Calabis turned around and grabbed the guy's wrist with a wrestling technique, and then stabbed a backhand sword on the opponent's neck artery, blood flew up like an arrow, spraying the people on the side of the sedan chair all over his body, watching this scene blankly.

"Puff puff", the swords of the other three big men were all pierced in the back of the guy with his wrist buckled and his neck opening - as soon as Calabis lowered his body, he hid in the arms of the carry, and used it as a meat shield.

Then, the flesh shield fell with a bang, and Calabis leaped a sword from the side, piercing into the soft abdomen of the other man, and then quickly pulled it out, and with a sword half-kneeling flat, he slashed the lower arm of the other man, and the severed limb flew high in the setting sun.

When Zuihou sat down on the ground in fright, his throat was slit softly and quickly, and then Calabis saw the back of Langis running away.

The whole scene fell silent, and the bloodstained Calabis stood straight in place, holding his sword, looking at all the people, and said for a long time: "I should not have come to stain this bloody money." ”

"Calabis, have you become a killer in the city of Rome? What about Porti? Dmitrius wiped the blood from his body and asked with some confusion.

"She's fine, you're going to be in this city, shouldn't you be at Pompey in Minor, what do you have to do with Hybrida's wife and daughter?" Calabis asked, and then he looked at Van Lunjuna, and the little girl trembled with fear.

Demetrius said, "After all, I knew Hybrida in Minor, so when my master Pompey asked me to do something, I came here to settle down."

Then, respectfully, he continued to support the somewhat frightened old man, and said, "This is the chief of the Chamber of Three Hundred in the city of Afrigian Gottica, His Excellency Galba, the honorary knight of the city of Rome, if I remember correctly, you were going to assassinate him just now, right?" ”

"Yes, if I hadn't seen Van Lun Lingna." Calabis said.

Demetrius thought for a while, and said: "It turns out that the prophecy of the master is true, His Excellency Garba is the general representative of the appeal to the former governor of Africa Catirin, this time I wanted to hide here, that is, to avoid the assassination of Catiline's followers, but I didn't expect to encounter it, thanks to your timely awakening." ”

"Young man, do you know that every few years we have to be in the situation that the former governor returns to the city of Rome with a large amount of money, and we have to come to complain, to get back a small part of it, and to risk dying in the streets at any moment." Nagarpa's face is slightly dark, his hair is full of silver threads, it is estimated that he is from the indigenous rich family of North Africa, and the Afrigerian Appeal Group mentioned by Cicero before is afraid that he is the core figure, no wonder Catiline wants to kill him and then quickly.

It turned out that the financier behind the scenes was that Catilin.

"It seems that staying here now will affect other people." Calabis said, and then he advises, "It's easy to be absolutely safe. Then he looked at all the people and said word by word, "Go find that Cicero." ”

At night, Cicero walked proudly on the streets of the Temple of Flowers, followed by followers and armed slaves with torches, as well as groups of curious Roman citizens, before Cicero openly said that Afrika's appeal to the former governor Catiline was assassinated in the city of Rome, although Cicero did not specify who was behind the scenes, but the direction of public opinion seems to be not difficult to guess.

However, Catiline was very popular in the minds of the Roman citizens, and he was considerate of the lower classes, and he made impassioned speeches and promised to improve their lives, which was much better in the eyes of the people than the cold and selfish men of the Senate, so many people followed Cicero to see what was going on.

"It was a knight named Langis, a knight from Subura, who planned this assassination!" Cicero stood in the middle of the crowd after questioning Garba, and shouted, "How dare a knight do this, there must be someone behind the scenes!" The just Roman people, the despicable ones in that corner, can't you still guess? I, Cicero, will definitely find out the truth! At this time, supporters and boycotters alike let out a flood of shouts, some clapping, and some bending their thumbs sideways to express their dissatisfaction.

"You should come out and testify to all this." On the terrace of the apartment building, Dmitrius pleaded, looking at the "vile" Calabis who was hiding himself in the corner.

"Don't do this with me, Jew. I don't want to get caught up in the struggle between your master, Cicero, and Catiline, and it seems that your master clearly favors Cicero, and wants to use this to bring Catiline over? My public identity is still the good servant of the Temple of the Vesta, Corion (the patron) of Lucuras, and I have a wife and children, do you think I am still the same as I was in Minor? "Calabis in the shadows is very resolute.

"Okay, I won't force you. Everything will wait until Langis is captured. Dmitrius then said magnanimously, "His Excellency Garba said just now that he would follow the principle of faith, and give you a hundred thousand cestheus of gratitude. ”

"That's okay, I'm really short of money, and I'm in a hurry, so I'll have it delivered to my apartment in two days." With that, Calabis slowly descended the stairs, touched Van Lunjuna's head, and asked her about her and Paluma's school days, and saw that Highbrida's wife was counting the six hundred cesdes' salaries that her husband had sent back for the first time, and then quietly left from the back alley.

One agora day, in Rome's national auction house, Calabis sat in the bidding seat in bright clothes, and with the "assistance" of Kaimez, he changed his certified assets, and looked intently at the auctioneer standing in the center of the seat, who was also said to be a freeman, and was entrusted by bankrupts and debtors to publicly auction some things: high-ranking slaves, house titles, and works of art.

Luckily, when the Valin apartment was auctioned off, the reserve price was fifteen thousand drachmas, as Popper had predicted, because it did collapse before the auction and was reduced to a solid piece of rubble. The knights in the room shook their heads and shook their heads, for in their eyes the place was worthless, and the Romans generally did not like to start a new business on top of the ruins.

Zuihou, it was Calabis who kicked the resonance cylinder under the seat, which attracted the attention of everyone present, and with fifteen thousand drachmas, he took the place.

As he took the contract, he could clearly hear the slight sneers of the people around him.

"I guess they all think I'm a fool." Calabis thought to himself.

After packing the contract and walking out of the auction house, Calabis saw a flock of birds rushing into the sky, followed by the sound of horns, and the red flag was erected on Capitol Mountain.

The raising of the red flag, a tradition left over from the tribal era, was a tradition of the Roman city during tribal times, which previously marked the invasion of the enemy, and now generally marked urgent matters - temporary court trials or the convening of town councils. In the streets, many nobles, accompanied by slaves, and an equal number of commoners laid down their work, crowded into a crowd and walked in the direction of the Great Court.

"Could it be that Cicero caught Langis?" With a thought in his heart, Calabis followed the crowd towards the courtroom in the main square.
