But there is no need for Calabis to boycott him, he is a politician, and politicians do things on the surface and secretly, who knows what he wants to achieve with the help of this plan, but at least this plan will never pass, unless the people in Rome are collectively brainless, so it is not interesting to care. Calabis was more concerned about the problem of Langis: "Your Excellency, I can only say that someone is slandering me, I have always been a decent businessman (that is, I went astray when I was short of money), I don't know any Langis, my patron is a tuna, he has become a triumphant general, there is no quarrel with the world, I and my family, we cannot pose a threat to you, please believe me." ”

"Family? You think you're going to have family right now! Catiline laughed as he saw Potty and Paruma, and their eyes were different.

Calabis's hair was about to explode, and he suddenly roared, "Go and bring up your ridiculous bill, don't try to touch my family!" A big man next to Catiline, thinking that Calabis had offended his master, was ready to face Kalabis, an eagle to catch the chicken, and then his outstretched hand was suddenly held and bent by Kalabis, and then Kalabis sent his hand back, and the guy's eyes were bloodied by his own fingers, and he couldn't even scream, and slowly covered his eyes and squatted down.

But Catiline did not move, he looked at Calabis with a smile, and said, "Don't provoke me, I am reluctant to kill you, you are still an important tool for me to turn over." Let me tell you the truth, Langis has been found by my people, and I am going to use him and you to regain my innocence in the court prosecution and find out the guy behind you, Tuna? Caesar the Bald? Cicero? Neruda? Or someone else. But in any case, you are almost finished, I see that you are not pleasing to the eye from the triumphal ceremony of the tuna, a foreigner, rampant or something, will only corrupt the atmosphere of Rome, gluttonies and hedonists cannot do without you, but I Catiline is different. ”

With that, the evil guy smiled and squeezed his eyes at Paruma again, which made Calabis feel creepy and left the school with a group of people.

"You have to pay attention to him, this guy is a crazy man, and the craziest thing about him is that he does what he says." Milou walked up at this time, "He was a murderer during the declaration of the former public enemy, and I heard that he was connecting with the Sula veterans in the Etrunia region, and there are many unemployed hooligans, embarking on a shocking conspiracy. ”

"Yes," Calabis said in his heart, and then he saw Poti approaching with Paruma in his hand, and put a smile on his face, saying that it was okay, that guy was intimidating.

However, for the next few days, in the apartment on Jucola Street, Calabis did not sleep well, and he was always terrified at night, watching the dark windows and curtains swayed by the wind, and Zuihou had to admit that he was intimidated by the bastard Catiline—he must now find Langis!

Find out Langis, and then do what, yes, kill him, kill him.

In this way, Catiline has no excuse to threaten him.

At night, looking at the cold sword in his hand, his breathing became a little rapid, and then a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, and a kind of candle flame shook rapidly, with Potty's exclamation, the blade of Calabis had pressed against her undulating chest.

"You and Paruma, go to Appilon's villa as soon as possible. I'm going to go out and do things these days. Calabis put his sword down and put his hand on his forehead as he spoke.

The next day, he stood in the courtyard of Prima, smiling and standing by a small banquet held by the mistress Claudia, watching Claudia speak "vulgar and civilian" language to those knights or freemen, this girl is very powerful, specializing in this style of dialogue to deceive the trust of the nobles and the commoners, to expand the chain of interests and connections for her family, of course, mainly to pave the way for her brother, but sometimes Claudia will also pay a physical price for it, With one of them most valuable guy spring breeze darkness.

In fact, several of the freedmen present recognized Calabis on one side, and they knew that this was now the richest and most powerful freeman in the city of Rome, and they admired him, and thought that this mysterious fellow from the East was a legend, and when he came to Rome three years ago, he was still penniless, but now—some say he had three million Cesdes, some say no less than five million—many people needed his care and help in their business.

But the more these freemen and knights, with uneasy smiles on their faces, stood for Calabis and sat down and were uneasy, the more Claudia had to make full use of the power of the mistress, and she was reluctant to let Calabis sit at the table, and talked about some topics endlessly, in order to show her "upper and lower relationship" with Calabis and shock everyone present.

At last, Claudia raised her beautiful chin, as if she had just seen Calabis, with a smile of noble surprise, "Oh, folks, I forgot to introduce, this is a free man under my protection, called Calabis, you may know?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Almost everyone present was lined up by the fountain, standing excitedly, ready to get acquainted with Calabis. This kind of situation, on the contrary, made Claudia use for a moment, and this is what she wanted.

But Calabis didn't mean to shake hands with them at all, but whispered directly to the mistress, hoping to talk to her in private.

"Is it something important? Can't you say it here? Claudia deliberately pretended to be unpredictable, and then looked around the scene with an apologetic smile, to make others think that there was some kind of high-end and mysterious tacit understanding between her and Calabis, and outsiders could not intervene.

In a hurry, Calabis could only go further, and said yes, I have already given the gift to your maid, please move to the small reception room and talk. "Oh, Calabis, it turns out that there is really something important - by the way, you have enough gifts, you can send them again next time - everyone, for the time being, I have a little personal matter to talk about with this Calabis." Claudia, with a smile on her face and a smile of her own hand, said goodbye to the crowd, then turned gracefully and went to the small reception room, followed by Calabis.

At this time, the tribute of Calabis had been wiped down by Claudia's maid and placed on the display cupboard—and then a maid looked at the golden tribute, an abstract statue of a bald little man, with his hands clasped together and his legs folded upright, in the form of an inverted pyramid, and asked curiously, "Is this the new god who entered the city of Rome, which I have never seen before, and what a strange appearance?" ”

Another maid, raising her shoulders, said that perhaps it was the golden statue of the god that His Excellency Calabis worshipped in the East, and after saying that, she moved the circular base, and saw a Latin inscription on it:

"This is called Oscar, the god of drama in the distant Shijie, and is now sincerely dedicated to the mistress of Calabis, Claudia, to whom she is simple, straightforward, and unpretentious." The maid slowly read the inscription.

In the small parlor, Claudia stretched out her slender fingers to see the red paint on them, and sat down on the couch, signaling that Calabis could tell what she meant.

"I want to know where that guy is hiding now." Calabis is quick to speak.
