Chapter 3: Zeno in the Rain (Part II)

"I give each man a reward of fifty dinars, let me slay this beast, long live the Amilius Act, long live Lord Julius, who granted citizenship! Run, virgin! The shoemaker boss was arrogant, waved his big hand, and both sides were entangled with each other in the thunderstorm.

Zeno screamed, and directly beckoned the heavy ebony box to the face of the sword slave who was pulling her, the other party's lips and the corners of his eyes were cracked, and he covered his face with his hands and knelt down in mourning, and then Zeno ran wildly in the rain, and a sword slave immediately raised a javelin at her back, but was immediately pressed down by Cassiyo, "You are crazy, do you really want to kill the virgin?" ”

After saying that, Cassiyo rushed up with a few arrows, ready to catch Zeno, but on the street corner over there, a group of big men with the same black skin came, wearing short undershirts and chain mail, all holding strangely shaped, curved swords in their hands, and ran straight past Zeno, who was staying in place, and ran towards Cassiyo and the others.

"It's Lybidaeus' guard." Cassiyo said this quickly, and then turned his head and ran, he knew that this group of people could not be provoked at all, but most of the sword fighting slaves around him were Dehemoth's men, and they were still standing in place, some in a daze, and some were ready to fight.

In the screams, blood and skulls were flying in the mud in the alley, and the Habai lost sword in Alp's hand directly slashed the bare belly and chest of the sword slave on the opposite side one by one, and the other party looked at his internal organs and intestines that continued to flow out, and fell down and died in wail.

Zeno, who came back to her senses, looked back and continued to run with the box in her arms, and she passed through two blocks before she came to the periphery of the Mother Earth Temple. It's crowded over there. It's chaotic. At this time, the rain had stopped, but there were still a few thunders in the sky from time to time, and Zeno was so anxious that she was about to cry at this time, how could she wear it and put the will in Li Bida's hands?

At this moment, several young legion soldiers with feathers were standing at the corner of the street, performing their duties. From time to time, he also talked fiercely about the content of the debate that came from within, with a Sardinian accent, and from time to time he cheered.

The order of the meeting room was temporarily settled, and Li Bida was there shouting to Brutus and the others, "Read Caesar's will in public, ask Caesar for a funeral of equal status, allow the soldiers and the people to have the right to sacrifice to him, make Caesar a god, and enter the altar of Capitol Mountain!" ”

"Against, against. Always against! All the elders around Brutus made fierce noises.

"Then take off your robes. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid to read Caesar's will and make you ashamed? Caesar was the fourth Roman Founding Father, alongside Romulus, Camillus, and Marius, and this was bestowed by you; Caesar is the descendant of God of Venus, whom you have bestowed; Caesar's appointment as tributary for life, which you have conferred; Caesar's birth, April, henceforth named July, was granted by you; Caesar's calendar was instituted throughout Rome, and it was granted by you; Caesar's conquest of distant empires was granted by you; You keep saying that Caesar is a tyrant, then what tyrannical means did he take to force you to grant him so much honor, no, he did not use any coercive and cruel means, he just wanted to change the country, and I want to publish the contents of the will to everyone to hear, Caesar wants to be understood by more people, even after his death, this is not allowed? Then I'll have to ask again, what are you afraid of! ”

"What are you afraid of?!" Many people also sang in unison as Amartius led.

The sound reached the outside of the field, Zeno's eyes widened, she walked up to the soldiers with a dirty face, and asked timidly, "Excuse me, are you the subordinates of the cavalry commander?" ”

The soldiers looked at her with surprised expressions, then stood up respectfully and said yes, honorable virgin. At this time, Zeno still looked like a virgin, the corners of her skirt were torn, and she was covered in rain and mud, but the will box she was holding in her hand showed her identity.

"The virgin is coming, the virgin is coming." The Legionnaires immediately escorted Zeno, and then more and more people and soldiers swarmed up, and they automatically opened a passage forward, allowing Zeno to walk down the hall.

And at this moment, Caesar's father-in-law, Pisso, also stepped onto the podium, with a very solemn demeanor, because his identity was the person who read the will, and about half a moment later, Anthony also returned, and Li Bida asked him quietly, "Has Mrs. Corpunia's estate been kept?" ”

"Yes, all of them are settled, guarded by loyal veterans and sword slaves." Anthony seems to have done this job well.

Then, Li Bida stretched out his hand to Zeno and asked loudly, "Can you verify your identity?" ”

"Yes, I am the virgin of the Temple of the Stove in charge of the sacrificial artifact, the Sybil prophecy and the private testament, and my name is Zeno."

"Then you have the sacred will box in your hand?"

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure of that."

Coming back, under the watchful eye, Pisso nodded, and then took a testament tablet from Hu Cong, and then Zeno also took out the will from his own box, and then Pisso held the double copy in his hand and held it high so that everyone could see it, "The seal on it is completely consistent with the content, it is indeed the original and the copy, in fact, Caesar had temporarily changed the will on the day before his death." ”

Pisso's words immediately stirred up an explosive effect, and the people's desire to see the contents of the will became even stronger, and they exchanged words, and the mysterious speculation about Caesar's murder was stirred up like the great comet that symbolized doom and swept over Rome.

Brutus and others, on the other hand, were dead-faced, and he knew that Cassillo's seizure of the will and inheritance was generally a failure, and although he had previously opposed such an act, he hoped that he could make the people sympathize with his actions through a public debate speech, but now he had to admit the fact that "the people are the most eager for freedom, but the people are also the easiest to be bought", and he did not even need to be bought, and could be demagogized and instigated by mere sharp teeth, which was a difficult problem for him to understand.

At this moment, Dehemoth in the audience was still gesturing everywhere, urging his sword fighting slaves to prepare for the unexpected, because no one knew what Caesar said in his will and how he arranged for the heir.

But among all of them, only Li Bida understands the situation, if Caesar's instructions and statements to him before his death are true, then he will definitely change it in his will, and take revenge on the people he knows and hurt him, "This is your nature, right, bald?" Thinking of this, Li Bida also laughed in his heart, "Sure enough, he is a person who is not willing to be lonely, even after death, he longs for the world to become lively." (To be continued......)
