"Not only the protectors, but also the sorcerers in the Claudius family."

"Wizard?" This title almost made Qi Wuce laugh out loud, this is really an old and contemporary title, but wizard or something...... Sure enough, it still doesn't sound more pleasing to the ear than the title magician.

Squatting on a hidden wall, Qi Wuce recalled what Nero had said when he tried to dissuade him before leaving.

Divine magician or something...... If it is passed down in the form of a family, then there may be some powerful magicians in the Claudius family, which has existed since the founding of Rome.

However, just a few magicians are not enough to worry about, after all, the era in which Qi Wuce lives now is the most turbulent period when the Dao system of magic is the weakest - the retreat of the god generation has made a lot of god generation magic a useless technique.

After deciding on the route of the fence, Qi Wuce jumped off the wall in the moonlight and melted into the darkness.

The vision in the night sky ushered in a sleepless night in Rome, and all believers woke up from their sleep because of this miracle, which also caused some inconvenience to Qi Wuce.

The lighting system in ancient times was not very good, and even large families like Claudius could only light oil lamps or hang torches on the walls, which was a shackle from the times.

The light of the torches and oil lamps made the various parts of the Claudius family residence seem a little dim, and because of the flowing wind, the firelight drew shadows like hypnotic pendulum clocks flickering from time to time.

Three or four o'clock in the morning is the most tired period of the day for most people, and even when they wake up at this time, most people are still in a state of trance, and this environment provides great convenience for Qi Wuxue to sneak in.

Carefully sneaking all the way to the core of Claudius' residence, Qi Wuru finally encountered the first difficulty of the sneak after a quarter of an hour.

In front of Qi Wuce's eyes was a seemingly normal wall, and there was actually a subtle flow of magic on the seemingly normal wall, so Qi Wuce planned to continue to investigate before making a choice.

After walking around the wall in the thick shadows, Qi Wuce was able to get a full picture of this layer of defenses.

This wall is built into a ring, the core area of the Claudius family is firmly protected in it, the normal entrance and exit are divided into four directions, south, south, northwest and this is a common design method, except for the entrance and exit, Qi Wufu did not find that there are Claudius family sentry posts in other parts of the wall, of course, it is not ruled out that the sentry posts are on the other side of the wall.

"A loose defense can be breached as easily as butter." Qi Wuce made a disdainful evaluation of the Claudius family's garrison in his heart.

Half an hour later, Qi Wuce's figure appeared on the other side of the wall.

Because the Sky Eye Pass couldn't be used, Qi Wuce spent a little effort on perceiving the flow of magic power.

Successfully entering the core warning area, the next step is a simple action to find someone, before coming Qi Wuce obtained a map of the core area of the Claudius family from Nero, so this operation only needs to pay more attention to the guards patrolling around, but it saves Qi Wuce the effort of drawing a road map along the commanding heights.

Unlike the outside area, where the gossip of guards could be heard from time to time to pass the time of boredom, the core area of the Claudius family residence was eerily quiet, and no conversation between people could be heard except for the occasional footsteps.

"Uncle, how is the situation in the outside world?"

"That fool of Abius and that little slut of Nero are already in a fight, and in three or five years you will be able to come to the fore in the open, my dear nephew Brittanycus."

In one room, an old man and a young man were talking in a whisper about the current situation in Rome, and the old man's face was full of pride, as if he were the fisherman watching the snipe and clam fight, while the young man on the other side was pessimistic.

The young man, Brittanycus, was the son of Claudius and the late Roman Empress Mesalena, whose family secretly helped the prince survive the purges of Agrippina the Younger's studies.

Looking at his uncle with a smug face, Brittanycus's heart was full of sorrow. Having received a higher education since childhood, he knows all too well what his current situation is – just a pathetic caged bird.

Because of the struggle between powers, he lost his former status as a prince, and because of the struggle for power, he became a puppet buried in the shadows of the Claudius family, and even if he ascended to the throne with the support of the Claudius family over time, he was just a puppet with no real power.

The ups and downs of the early years have made the prince see through a lot, and the idea of the throne is no longer as eager as when he was a child.

On the surface, he should inherit his uncle's preaching, but in his heart, Brittanycus had the sadness that his father had shown in front of his eyes.

"The throne? The golden throne is full of invisible blades that take people's lives. ”

"Eh, there's a dark room here." In a certain study, Qi Wuce found a mechanism, and after careful consideration, Qi Wuce opened the mechanism and entered the dark passage.

"Huh?"

Bretanicus, who was being brainwashed, heard the sound of the mechanism operating within the wall, and he looked at his uncle only to find that the other party didn't care at all, which made Bretanicus frown.

"Konck, Konck, look! Look who I found, it's really lucky. Qi Wuce, who had been holding back for most of the night, was extremely active after discovering the main master he needed to find on this trip.

The man whom Brittanicus called his uncle turned his head suddenly, and his face changed suddenly when he realized that he was not from the Claudius family.

He was very familiar with the appearance of the person in front of him, because the wonderful battle in the Colosseum not long ago left a very deep impression on his heart.

"You're Nero's men! Say, what conditions do you want. There was no coercion, and the uncle of Brittanycus chose the lure directly.

“……”

Qi Wuce did not respond, for his sword had struck Uncle Britanicus in the throat, and a living life had been lost.

"Sorry, take a different position, don't hate me."

Holding the middle-aged man's corpse and placing it on the ground gently, Qi Wuru looked at the young man in front of him after covering his dead eyes.
