16. Refusal

According to Nero, he carefully checked his plan with the laws of Rome until he was sure that there was no mistake in any part of the plan.

"The next step is to determine the intelligence."

Qi Wuce thought as he untied the string of dead pigeons hanging on his body in front of Nero.

"Your Highness Nero, I am not too familiar with the city of Rome, so I have to ask His Highness for the next thing."

Nero nodded and didn't refuse, she probably guessed what Qi Wuce was going to do.

"Oh! By the way, maybe you should try your luck before you do that, after all, maybe Your Highness will recognize these things? ”

took out a handful of crumpled paper, sat up on the spot, and then spread the paper balls on the ground one by one.

Nero looked at the spread balls of paper, and saw that they were written in an unknown script that was not Latin.

Frowning, Nero had no choice but to express his helplessness to Qi Wuce, the simple text on these paper balls was not known Greek, Latin, or ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, but the script that belonged exclusively to those Roman clans.

Looking at Qi Wuce, Nero began to introduce the history of Rome: "Legend has it that at the beginning of the founding of Rome, the founding emperor Romulus led three hundred clans to establish the city of Rome in the land of seven mounds, and the clan pattern led by him was one hundred Latin clans, one hundred Sabine clans, and one hundred Irutrian clans.

After the establishment of Rome, the various clans did not disappear but continued to be passed on in Rome, and the clans that still exist today are no longer the original number of three hundred, the most prominent of which are six, namely Cornelius, Claudius, Fabius, Aemilius, Manlius and Valerius, counting the other clans that still exist, there are about thirty or forty clans in Rome today.

And along with these clans, there were also their own scripts, because Rome unified the relationship between the written language, and even the relevant records of these clan scripts became extremely rare, and the information about these words was only circulated among these clans. ”

Nero's implication was that there was no possibility of deciphering the words on the paper.

"Is the inherited text now reduced to a codeword-like existence...... Anyway, even if I can't decipher the text, I have a way to identify where the information is going, and besides, the text is not without a chance to be cracked. ”

Qi Wuce muttered as he swept the note to the side, leaving a smooth stone brick floor.

He took out a dagger that had been brought from the killer and carved it on the floor in front of Nero.

Moments later, to Nero's astonished gaze, nearly eighty percent of the city of Rome had been mapped and carved on the stone brick floor.

"It's a little rough, but it's still readable."

Qi Wuce's tone was indifferent, as if he had done something insignificant.

Looking at the map on the stone bricks, Nero compared it with the map in his mind, and after finding that there were no mistakes, his evaluation of Qi Wuru rose another level in his heart.

"Is it really the first time Qing has come to Rome?" Staring at Qi Wuce, Nero's tone was slightly weaker because of the shock in his heart.

Nero could not have imagined what kind of genius could have carved the entire city of Rome in one day, including the Roman soldiers' patrol routes and sentry boys, on a three-foot-square floor tile.

For the first time, Nero had a sense of powerlessness that her talents were inferior to hers.

Qi Wuce didn't care about Nero's shock, after all, this kind of thing was just a basic operation, but anyone with full memory ability could do such a thing.

Qi Wuce found the pigeon's take-off place on the map, and he placed the note in different directions according to the direction in which the pigeon had flown before, and only after doing all this did Qi Wuce wake up the daunting Nero.

"Your Highness Nero, you can probably deduce from the direction in which these pigeons are flying."

"Huh? Not! Yu actually lost his mind when Qing was working hard, it was really a gaffe, and Yu assured Qing that such a thing would not happen in the future. ”

Qi Wuce clearly sensed the feeling of refreshment on Nero's body when he said this.

It should have figured out something, and a certain hurdle in my heart suddenly passed, and the guy who achieved this kind of self-breakthrough will give people a feeling of refreshment. God knows what Nero had figured out what he was doing, but Qi Wuce didn't care much about it anyway.

After Nero had said a lot of things about the clan that might have assassinated her, Qi Wuce put away the notes with the code words written on them, although there was almost no way to decipher the words that Nero said, but for Qi Wuce, deciphering them was only a little troublesome.

"Please also ask Your Highness to prepare all the written and material materials about these clans, although the chance is slim, but I still want to try it, after all, if these words are really deciphered by me, it will be very good for Your Highness."

Nero nodded without thinking about it and agreed to Qi Wuce's request, after all, it was easy to complete just preparing some materials.

"Then at this point, my affairs have all been settled, and then I will wait for His Highness to send me to the Colosseum again."

Nero nodded again, and Qi Wuxue had already established trust in Nero's heart.

“……”

“……”

Wide-eyed staring.

Nero sat on the ground in a duck posture in front of Qi Wuce, and then approached Qi Wuce and looked at Qi Wuce with his emerald eyes.

A moment later, Qi Wuce was defeated and had no choice but to turn his head away.

"Why should Qing avoid it, how unaware!"

Nero seemed a little annoyed, Qi Wuce's talent in the middle of the night had satisfied her beyond measure, but the only thing was that the other party often avoided looking at her, which made her very dissatisfied.

Indeed, Nero is already tempted by Qi Wuce, not to mention Qi Wuce's face comparable to the handsome man Adonis in Greek mythology who fascinated the god of beauty, Aphrodite, just saying that the powerful martial arts are enough to make Nero fall in love.

Nero has always been a self-restraint person who does not know how to restrain himself, destroying what he hates, fighting for what he wants, and Nero will never limit his own behavior for the sake of other people's ideas. Therefore, when Nero found that she was helpless and slightly moved, she immediately began to take action.

is already an old man, and Nero does not hide his behavior, Qi Wuce quickly figured out Nero's thoughts, which is nothing more than another girl who has taken a fancy to him.

Qi Wuce looked at the bright moon in the night sky through the window, and he probably guessed where the previous feeling of being spied on came from, and it should be Artemis.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, the goddess would have been biting the corner of her clothes with a resentful face.

Artemis or Nero, which one is more important to align is more important, the results speak for themselves.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Nero, I am a family man, so I have to refuse your wishes, I am just a passerby in your life after all, and when you ascend the throne and I get what I want, then our relationship will end."

First of all, in order to prevent the lovely goddess from crying alone in the temple, and Qi Wuce didn't have any more thoughts to provoke women, so Qi Wuce could only explicitly reject Nero's intentions.
