Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mutation (Part 1)
It's been another day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the end of the season, after washing his hands, he pressed his eyebrows, relieving the nerves that had been tense for a day.
Returning to his tent, looking at the sky that had already darkened, in order to quickly recover his depleted spirit, Ji Mo lay down on the bed, intending to rest.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, a soft call made him open his eyes at this time.
It was Sithlo, a loyal servant of Maximus.
"What's the matter?"
"The master has something to look for!" Sislo lowered his head and said.
"Good!" Ji Ji answered, stood up, and walked with him.
As soon as he entered the tent, at the end of the season, he saw Maximus kneeling in front of the prayer platform, praying for his wife and children, and then stood quietly in place, waiting for him to finish praying.
"Ancestors, I pray that you will guide me, Heavenly Mother, please guide me in the direction of the future, Heavenly Father, please protect my wife and children, please tell them, I am only living to embrace them again, ancestors, I am proud of you, and I will live with dignity according to the teachings of my ancestors!"
The tone is low and sincere, making people feel his affection.
After praying, Maximus solemnly picked up a small wooden figure on the prayer platform and kissed it gently, then stood up.
"The end!" Maximus smiled at the end of the season, and although it was still as warm as usual, it was a little less brilliant and a little more heavy.
"What's wrong?" Ji Mo sat down and asked.
"I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise, I can't leave with you, I can't take you to my hometown to have a look!" Maximus was full of apologies.
At the end of the season, he looked into Maximus's eyes and said with certainty: "It's Caesar!" ”。
"Hmm!" Maximus nodded slowly, and explained that when he went to see Caesar in the afternoon, Caesar was going to hand over the power of Rome to him, and asked him to briefly explain the restoration of Rome to the republic.
"Is it true that Caesar, as I suspected, did not intend to let Maximus go back, but to find him a difficult task?".
Looking at Maximus, who was surrounded by gloomy colors, he spoke at the end of the season: "Why don't you refuse?" If you refuse, Caesar will let you go! ”。
"It's a mission, I'm still a soldier!" Maximus pulled his lips bitterly, raised his head, and said to Ji Mo again: "I'm sorry, Mo, I ......."
Interrupting the other party's words, the end of the season said unquestionably: "I'll stay too!" ”。
"But......" Maximus shook his body.
At the end of the season, he said indifferently: "It's nothing, I don't have a home here, it's the same everywhere!" ”。
"Good!" The corners of Maximus's mouth were raised, and he regained a bit of brilliance.
"If that's the case, watch out for Commodus!" A reminder at the end of the season.
"I know!" Maximus nodded.
"In that case, I'll go back first, or Finn will look for me!"
Meanwhile, while talking to Maximus at the end of the season, Commodus in their mouths slowly lifted his hand from the back of his father's head that he pressed to his chest.
Looking at his father, who lost his breath and stared at his father unwillingly, Commodus's eyes like a poisonous snake flowed two lines of dirty tears, although he didn't want to do this, but he loved power more, so he told him in his father that Maximus was the new heir, but before he officially announced it to others, he took the opportunity to hug his father, and pressed the other party's face to his chest, asking for the life of the old man whose time was running out.
And by doing so, he gained valuable time for himself.
Next, it's time to get rid of Maximus!
……
Looking at the dancing lights in the dim tent, Ji Su, who had just stepped into it, shrank his footsteps, and was about to retract his left leg, but as soon as he lifted his leg, a clanging sound came from around him.
"I think we should have a good talk!" A flat voice came from not far behind Ji Mo,
Ji Mo turned around and looked at Quintas who was standing outside the encirclement of the Praetorian Guards brought by Commodus from Rome, his eyes cold.
"Don't look at me like that, I know you don't agree, but I think it's better for you to listen to me!" As he spoke, a figure that had passed out, carried by two Praetorian Guards, appeared outside the encirclement, in front of Quintas, who was now holding his short sword to the figure's neck.
And that man was Finn.
Ji Mo's eyes swept around, and found that the camp he was in had been surrounded by layers of Praetorian Guards, and even Quintas was very cunning Standing outside the Praetorian Guard encirclement, far away from him, he silently estimated it, and found that before the other party killed Finn, his chances of saving him were less than thirty percent, Ji Mo stood in place, crossed his arms, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”。
"Help the new Caesar take control of the Legion with me!" Quintas was straightforward about his purpose.
"New Caesar!" At the end of the season, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's right, New Caesar, Your Highness Commodus!" Quintas spoke, then shook his head with a look of contrived regret, and said, "Caesar Marcus has passed away tonight, and His Royal Highness Commodus has been appointed as the new Caesar ......."
Ji Mo secretly sneered, and said in his heart: "Hehe, I don't believe that when the other party has just made a decision to hand over the power of Rome to Maximus, he will die on such a strange night!" And he also gave the position to Commodus, so he was killed by Commodus, his son! ”
"Choose!" There was a hint of urgency in Quintas's voice.
At this time, the sound of the system's prompt sounded in the head at the end of the season.
"Phase 2 Task: Selection.
Maximus? Commodus?
Note: When you answer Quintas, it's a choice you've made, and that choice is about what to do. ”
"Choose?" Ji Mo smiled helplessly, the system is really not the right time, originally he wanted to pretend to promise the other party, save Finn first, but now as long as he agrees to the other party, then the result of this choice cannot be changed......
And choose Commodus? Are you kidding!
"No, I refuse!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the former, and as his words spoke, Commodus's option disappeared, but Quintas breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the end of the season would agree.
Commodus hated Maximus very much because of his father's affairs, so Maximus had been put on the list of deaths by Commodus, and after Maximus's death, the current legion would not listen to his orders, and even Quintas only controlled a small part, but it was different at the end of the season, which was extremely prestigious among the soldiers.
So as long as the end of the season agrees, then the importance of Quintas in the eyes of Commodus will be greatly reduced, and this is why Quintas was relieved when he heard the end of the season rejection.
"In that case, let's kill both of them!" Quintas sneered, and swung the short sword in his hand at the unconscious Finn.
