"The palace is fit for insects more than shepherd's cheese is for summer flies." - Byzantine historian

"Licilia?" At that time, Li Bida in the dream asked in surprise.

In the dim light of the staircase passage, the virgin turned around, holding a flickering candle flame, it was the elegant and beautiful Zeno, her appearance was as young as Li Bida had just met her in Rome, "Traveler of time and space, don't hesitate and be confused anymore, accept your fate calmly!" Then she pointed to the door where the cry of a baby could be heard, "The door god is the god who controls birth and death, and you have wandered between the doors of life and death like a striped baby. Then, Zeno held the fire in front of his chest and slowly approached Li Bida, "Then now, hand over your fate and struggle to me with peace of mind, and hand over to me and Sybil's prophecy book, without hesitation, as simple as crossing a door." ”

What exactly is the book of Sybil prophecy? What exactly does the Virgin Priesthood hold? Is it designed to the fate of an entire generation! Li Bida couldn't help but shout.

But Zeno smiled slightly, "You belong to this time and space, your biological parents are not so magical, you don't need to worry, there are more magnificent careers and goals waiting for you here - if you don't believe it, you might as well tell me, where you came from, what can you do?" Since God has given you this opportunity, take the lead in the new world He has created. ”

Then Zeno softly sang a pastoral song,

"The people of the Black Iron Age are about to dissipate, sending the goddess and the goddess of justice to fly around you and your children. A new humanity will descend from the towering clouds. The golden age is coming. The sun will become a true king, ruling over all things in the world. She leaned against the door frame, the corners of her eyes rolled, meaning to tell Li Bida to walk into the door, the cry of the baby inside was getting louder and louder, Li Bida hesitated forward, Zeno smiled and handed the candle flame in his hand to him, and then opened the door. Let's go over, the senseless dream is about to wake up, and the new Sun King will no longer hesitate! ”

The door frame made of tortoiseshell was full of soft gold-like light overflowing, Li Bida took the candle flame and slowly walked into the melt between them, he couldn't see anything, the warm wind surrounded him, the baby's cry seemed to be Leo's, as if it was himself, he was dead? Or is it reborn?

After the eyelids are opened. Li Bida, who was covered with sweat, rolled his eyes a few times rapidly, and the scene in his dream slowly faded. What appeared above him was still rows of roof beams made of logs, and the hay bundles were still dangling back and forth, as if they were dancing, saying "welcome back", which made him a little sleepy and dizzy when he just woke up. Li Bida slowly sat up, and he looked past the window, where little Veria was busy in the beehive under the canopy, leaning down from time to time, revealing her beautiful figure, while her grandmother was still curled up under the porch, squeaking and busy with the loom.

There were still bees flying around outside.

"Velia, Arp! Bring me water, and prepare my horses! He drank three glasses of mead in front of the door, and stepped on his mount refreshed, and Alp hurriedly took him, and little Veria followed him, and walked towards the seaside side of the manor—the cave where Crassus had been hiding was a blue-gray stone cliff and an emerald green wood, recessed in the overhanging stone terrace, and needed a soft ladder to go down, very hidden, and when Li Bida stepped into it, he realized that there was indeed a hole inside, and the clear stream flowed down from above, without exhaustion, There is a breeze inside, and there are several passages to escape, and you can directly see the entire blue and deep sea, and you can see the enemy ships as soon as they arrive.

Subsequently, in the naturally constituted "room", there were decayed tables and chairs, clay pots and couches, all of which were covered with moss, and it seemed that no one had come for a long time, and it was here that Vibius sent the Vilia sisters in, so that Crassus enjoyed the "blessing of all people" for more than half a year. After a while, Li Bida saw that there was a more distant and deep cave on the side of this "room", and he didn't know where to lead.

"Where does this lead?" Li Bida asked little Willia.

The other shook his head and said that no one had ever explored it, some said it led to the sea below, while others said it led directly to Hades.

So Li Bida told Alp to play Songming, and guided himself and Velia to go inside, and by the light of the fire, they walked forward about one or two hundred Roman feet, but the surroundings became more and more strange, there were no bats, no reptiles, not even plants, only cold and bare earth and stones. Alp shook the torch forward, and the light was quickly sucked away - as if there was no end to the cave.

In this way, even Alp, who had always been very courageous, could not help but change color, and suddenly Li Bida told him to stop, and then he touched the wall of the cave, "Bring the torch closer." ”

Then, Li Bida stared at the picture above, and for about a few seconds, he turned around and left, "Quick, don't continue to go forward, get out of here!" ”

After saying that, little Veria hurriedly followed the high priest, while Alp loyally raised the torch, slowly walked behind the two, drew his sword and acted as a defender, before leaving, he couldn't help but be curious, and looked at the mural that had just made the high priest so concerned.

Above is a dense group of skeletons, sitting around the banquet table, chatting and laughing (if the skeletons' expressions are), during which Alp catches a glimpse of one of the skeletons standing by the door, with the Latin inscription "Gaios. Julius. Caesar", and there is a small line underneath, "I am a newcomer".

Alpton felt a cold air rise behind him, and there was no wind in the cave at this time, and in the depths of darkness, he always felt that there were people staring at him and the high priest in the middle of nowhere, and the wind was like a call. At this moment, Alp immediately crossed his sword in front of his chest and quickly stepped back.

When everyone climbed from the cave to the woodland above the cliff again, and saw the sunlight, the grass and the hares and elk jumping everywhere again, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had come back to life.

"Alp, call the soldiers at once, and seal this cave once and for all—this is not the place where the living of the world should be." Li Bida's face tightened and said.

After returning to the manor, Li Bida ordered to give 100,000 Ses to Vilia's grandchildren, and asked them to go to live in the city of Magara, "I forcibly bought this Vibius manor!" Then, three days later, a large group of soldiers entered the room, leveled all the remaining buildings on the ground, and sealed the cavern with volcanic ash inside and out.

Less than two days later, a fallen senator named Colora asked to meet the High Priest and ask him about his plan for the conquest of Spain, claiming that he could help him. (To be continued......)
