Chapter 278: A Day Tour of Nero's Palace

Let's start with the Roman side.

The Western Roman Empire just fell yesterday, and the last emperor, Romulus? Augustus was deposed and disappeared from the stage of history.

Following the Eastern Roman Empire, it is reasonable to still retain a million square kilometers of territory, but it encountered a strong enemy that should not have appeared, and was trapped in the southwest of the Black Sea and the northeast of the Mediterranean.

And what is even more puzzling is that the Eastern Roman Emperor Zeno of this era had an unexpected accident, and the emperor of a foreign race from West Asia, the emperor who was good at governance, died ten years ago.

I wonder if this will make the greater Justinian the Great, who was born in a few years, cease to exist.

Instead, the temporary domination of stormy, chaotic Eastern Rome is rumored to be a young girl who lifted Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, into the skies and ensured that even the most powerful barbarians could conquer such a city under the cover of the firmament.

Somehow, this scene is somewhat familiar, and it may need to be confirmed.

Speaking of their enemies, the barbarians who roam the continent.

At this point in time, all ten barbarian kingdoms were born, including the Ostrogothic Kingdom, the Frankish Kingdom, the Burgundian Kingdom, the Visigothic Kingdom, the Soviet Kingdom, the Vandal, the Lombard Kingdom, the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom, the Herulli Kingdom, and the Alemanni Kingdom.

It must be added that the Italian kingdom of Odoacer is not among the top ten barbarian kingdoms.

Historically, several barbarian kingdoms were born in the following centuries.

Including the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England, it was formed in the ninth century in the era of Alfred the Great, which is a bit of a time difference, and there is a history in between, which is precisely the legend of King Arthur.

I don't know if this is because of the peculiarity, or if there are hostile heroic spirits in the barbarian kingdom.

What is even more worrying is that yesterday Nero was blessed by the Roman ancestors, and at the same time, all the barbarian kings received a mysterious prophecy - the time has come to destroy Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, to compete for the Holy Grail, and to compete for the supremacy of the continent.

This is also the reason why Odoacer has learned so much information, otherwise he only has to pay attention to his own Rome, how can he have the kung fu and ability to care about such a distant place.

In addition to the barbarians, they heard the existence of the enemy on the other side, and in less than a hundred years of their rise, they turned the entire eastern part of Europe into a black scorched earth, like a tool sent by God to punish them, and even the barbarians were like children in the face of them, retreating again and again.

Even in this era, a large part of the factors were precisely because of this enemy, which forced the barbarian migration into the south, leading to the gradual collapse of the Roman Empire.

At the end of the interrogation, Li Ji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Not to mention the ten barbarians, plus the terrifying demon king, does it mean that he and Nero are enemies of the world? They have a lot of enemies to face.

Besides, who is behind the deliberate prophecy to all the barbarian kings? With what kind of purpose, such an ability is by no means an ordinary person.

I wonder if the girl's sword alone can turn the tide and save Rome?

Nero came to himself.

"Performer, the fire has stopped, and I won't be back here again, do you want to visit the palace, where Yu used to live?"

Nero looked at the endless palace with nostalgia, not so much how large and magnificent the palace was, but more because it was a place where the maiden remembered it.

Li Ji promised that the royal palace in Rome seemed to be rarely mentioned in history, but he knew that it was precisely in the royal palace in Rome that there were many thrilling dark stories that no one knew, and perhaps there would never be a light day after this palace.

When the first emperor Augustus ascended the throne, he lamented that his father Caesar only had his own mansion in the city of Rome, and did not have his own palace, and that it was still the time of the Republic.

Since then, the first imperial palace belonging to the emperor has been built on the Palatine Hill.

Followed by Emperor Tiberius and Emperor Caligula, they all had their own palaces, as if witnessing the growing size of the Roman Empire, beyond the era of the Republic, the size of the palace was constantly expanding.

"Woo... This is the Dumishan Palace, the palace built by the Flavi dynasty of later generations, and to the south is the palace of the Severus dynasty a hundred years ago. ”

The girl recalled that during her absence for 400 years, Rome had produced many good emperors, making the country unprecedentedly strong enough to build a palace of this size.

The girl finally came to a palace and stood still, "This is... Yu's Golden Palace... The most magnificent palace in the history of the Roman Empire, covering an area of more than 800,000 square meters, is larger than the Forbidden City in the East. ”

The golden palace in the girl's mouth is the palace that belongs to Nero, and if it becomes a heroic spirit, the golden theater of her treasures is closely related to it.

The girl introduced in a show-off tone, that was the girl's achievement when she was alive, but she saw that the maintenance of the palace was far less than that of the rest of the palaces, and even other buildings were built on the palace-

"Ah, don't look at that, performer!" Nero came up and covered his eyes, "That's the baths that Emperor Trajan built on it, I have to say it's resentful, but this emperor has the largest territory in Roman history, so he can say anything." ”

The girl took him inside and walked into the bathhouse, passing by the pillars, the statues, and the pool, and saw that there was pure water flowing inside, and it was not affected by the fire at all.

"Performer, why don't you take a bath with Yu, it's different in that natural lake in Yu's palace." The girl's triumphant invitation may have been intended to take revenge on the emperor of later generations in this way.

"What kind of expression is this, is the performer blushing? Anyway, we have been together for 400 years, you should know, Yu is doting on you and allowing you to do this, don't worry, Yu has no hesitation, and can show his body in front of the performer without reservation. ”

The girl took off her clothes and stepped into the pool lightly, and after a while the sound of rushing water sounded.

Li Ji looked at the figure of the girl in the water, and had to say that Nero was more excited and energetic than usual at this moment.

And, for some unknown reason, Nero had a similar appearance to Artoria, including the tall and unyielding dull hair, the only difference was probably the size of a certain part of the body, about two levels apart, so they would never be mistaken.

"Why don't you come, performer? Bathing was the ultimate pleasure for the Romans. Nero asked a little later.

"Yu's body is perfect, like the goddess Venus attracts everyone, and now it is displayed in front of you, you should like and appreciate it."

He looked up.

When the girl received a response, joy descended from heaven, "That's it... Uh-huh, uh-huh... And then what... Can you help me up? The girl stretched out her hand and begged him like a wayward child.

And he did.

The graceful figure of the girl completely emerged from the water, and the body that was better than all things in the world could indeed be called a gift from the god of beauty, and when she saw her, she changed her clothes again without hurrying: "Are you worried about the barbarians, and the terrifying demon king, don't forget who Yu is, Yu is the emperor of Rome, this is a trial given to me by my ancestors, and Yu is of course obliged to complete it." “

"It's just that there are a lot of doubts now, so Yu doesn't know how to choose, whether to choose a place to recruit troops and horses, not to mention the wealth and materials consumed, it will take a year to pull up at least ten legions, and the barbarian army that is rampant on the mainland is still not enough, and it can only be used to hold on."

"In addition, there was an accident in Constantinople, this is the history that you said does not exist, and now the Eastern Roman Empire is ruled by a princess or the emperor's girl, which makes Yu curious, what kind of peerless girl it should be, if you marry her, the two Romes will be reunited, will part of the glory of Rome be restored."
