Chapter 15: Yurabela's Submission (Part II)
When the queen said the vows of her youth, Li Bida could not help but feel a little warmth in his heart, and he remembered the scene of him snuggling up with Adiana in a boat on the salt lake, and the queen, who was at the age of peerless beauty, wanted him to stay and become king of himself and of Eubernia, but he refused—for so many years he became king of Rome, at the cost of being separated from Adiana; In so many years, she has revived the capital, but at the cost of the loss of youth, and ten years as a day, the longing for the man in her heart.
"I remember this oath I don't know if Matthias said it to you, but I can assure you that I didn't say anything to Cleopatra on the Libyan border before." In the end, the high priest replied.
"Why wouldn't you? In fact, even if you do to her, it is difficult for me to do anything to you, as I have said just now, the wheat fields of Pontus have long been forbidden to you, and this is the will of the god Mithra. The queen rolled over and asked softly behind the curtain.
"Because she is different from you, Cleopatra's affection for me is always behind the interests of Egypt; And you Calabya are different, I know that you can give up your country for me. ”
This made the queen of the curtain silent for a long time, and then she thought for a moment, "Therefore I will say this first, that is, I was the first to be wrong, and the compensation is that I will make a will, that when I die, the region of Pontus and Eubertenia will be reincorporated into the Roman province - as for Ejit, let him live in the northern part of the Eucillium Sea, so that he and his brother Leo will be there." There should be no barriers. At least not for the time being. ”
"You're not going to die. Calabia. For the next half of my life, I will try to be by your side here, in the palace of Nicomide—I can leave a few legions to help you and Eujit on the Bosphorus, and together we can witness Lypidor become the great city of the whole world. The high priest choked up as he spoke.
"What if you die before me?
"No, I'm already from the dead Vestal virgin. You must know how long I lived, and that your consecrate at the time had given me permission to inquire about an additional one, and yes - you would die before me. ”
"Damn, what a reluctance! Calabis, why do you have to seize the high ground of fate everywhere, as if I were born for you, I am not Adiana, not the princess of the Emperor of Pontus, but only Calabia. It's so lonely, then you have to promise me. You will be by my side and mourn for me when I die. The queen laughed. There were a few sobs, and then she laughed again, changing her tone, "What nonsense?" Come and enjoy this wonderful evening, this is the real ultimatum. ”
Then, Li Bida saw that the light behind the curtain went out again, and only one was still shaking, and soon the curtain was quietly opened, but the light of the starry night was still dim, and he saw a black thing thrown straight towards him, so frightened that Li Bida quickly grabbed it, and only after he got to his hand did he realize that it was a belt.
Then he pulled the belt with his hand, heavy, and then continued to pull, and unexpectedly-under the curtain, the belt was actually attached to Adiana's white neck, and she was covered all over her body, only wearing the wolf skin shawl that she had in the wheat field many years ago, the wolf ears on her head were clearly recognizable, and her limbs were on the floor, and Li Bida's eyes were straight, but she still pulled the belt a little rudely, and Adiana was really like a little she-wolf, a little sad but docile, and slowly crawled to his feet.
“poi。” She raised her face and shouted softly, but she could still shake her furry tail twice and slowly rubbed it on Li Bida's thigh.
Can this be endured? Li Bida rudely lifted the "little she-wolf", lifted the curtain, and threw the meteor on the couch in stride
In the days that followed, the high priest and the queen, who had become like glue again, continued to entertain Wang Zhonglang for a long time, until the news of Eurabella came, and the high priest said goodbye to him and set out again on the journey to finally settle Athens.
Eurabella's legions, at the foot of Mount Amasinus, were completely annihilated, they were short of food, and they lost all their strength when they were outflanked by the four thousand cavalry of the high priest. The officers and soldiers were reluctant to continue to swear allegiance to Commander Yurabella, and Yurabella herself gave up.
He stood at the foot of the majestic Mount Amasinus, looking at the clouds, the shrubs, and the original site of the arena left by Li Pida, and he listened to the villagers and herdsmen around him, and everyone was full of confidence that the high priest would return here as the king of the world when the year was over, and hold a greater competition than the last one.
"Really, really? Could it be that this huge mountain is a symbol of his luck and power, and I, Scipio, and Apis are destined to be impassable? Hesitant and distrustful, Yurabella decided to verify that he had nothing to do now anyway - Lypida's cavalry had taken over his camp, and his soldiers and officers had either dispersed or surrendered.
"Then it's up to you, anyway, the high priest has ordered that your life should not be harmed, but if you die on the mountain, there is no responsibility for me." Curie, who was holding a baton on horseback, said to Eurabella, who had taken off his uniform and was wearing ordinary clothes.
Then, like many Romans who traveled to Asia Minor, as if inspired by something, Eurabella stubbornly strode up the mountain with clouds and snow as if inspired by a cloak to protect herself from the wind, a kettle, and a bag of dry food.
On the way, he encountered stones that rolled down the hillside, met the fog, encountered a storm, and then he collapsed halfway up the mountain, half-dead, and sat in the shade of a tree, and after a whole day, Curia's cavalry found him dying and took him down the mountain, and then Eulabella fell asleep for several days, and when he awoke he shouted that he was fully in favor of the monarchy in the Roman Republic, and declared that he was willing to express a lifelong and complete repentance for confessing to his murder of Caesar, and that the Republic was now twilight. It needs to be completely transformed, the system must be reformed from the roots, and he believes that the best option is for the real strong to take control of the country.
In order to show that what he had said was true, Eurabella sat up again, and spent several days writing a book of ten thousand words, that is, he had suffered a miracle on Mount Amasinus, and that he had received a revelation from the gods that the high priest should become the king of this world, which was ultimately doomed by non-human beings.
When he had finished writing, he rode his mule and horse in a proper manner, and took with him the book which he regarded as a treasure, and with all his legions, he went along the plain of Lydia, toward the seashore in western Asia Minor, and offered to take part in the siege of Athens.
