Chapter XVII: Emperor Nero
If there is faith in those who will be kings, then the Knights of the Round Table led by King Arthur created the myth of Great Britain, Gilgamesh has the only partner, the oldest emperor, the conquering king Istanbul led his subordinates, hoping to see the other side of the sea, and gather the wishes of all the courtiers on their shoulders, their personalities, may all have more or less flaws, however, they also have a shining halo side, after all, to be able to become a king, to be praised by all generations, after all, there is an admirable sideThis, whether they are arrogant, critical, or insane, can stand on the altar of heroes and stand out from the crowd, because their halo has overshadowed their own flaws and shortcomings.
And yet this Nero? Claudius? Drusus? Emperor Germanicus, who reigned for eleven years, did what he did, and later generations called him a tyrant is not without basis, just look at the heinous crimes he committed, killing his mother and wife, killing Christians, nailing them to pillars to make candles, putting on animal skins for vicious dogs to bite to death, and later recorded that the apostles Paul and Peter both died at his hands, and set fire to the Roman palace because they liked more ornate buildings, and then blamed the Christians, poisoning their half-brother while eating, And if nothing happened until he finished eating, he kicked his pregnant wife in the abdomen in a rage, and then caused her to die, and the scene can be said to be gorgeous bloodstained, the last son of Julius Caesar, reigned 54-68 AD, darkness shrouded Rome for these years, until today, two thousand years later, when Christians mention this emperor. Still scolding.
Such an emperor. His shortcomings have completely obscured his aura. It is even said that his aura is no longer a positive teaching material under these bad history, and he is only 31 years old, and in the final suicide process, he still lacks the courage to order his servants to die once to show him, and then he chooses to die. In the end, he raised the dagger several times, but he was still a little afraid to start, and said sadly, so that the great artist would pass away, and after his death, all the memories, buildings, and culture about him would be burned to the core, in order to express his disgust and hatred for him.
A Latin chronicle sums it up in very succinct terms: "Nero inherited his mother. and then ate her; He raped his sister; burned 12 neighborhoods of Rome; Seneca was executed; Frogs vomit out in the Lateran; the crucifixion of St. Peter; beheaded St. Paul; ruled for 13 years and 7 months; The last one was eaten by a wolf. ”
is such an emperor, and naturally he cannot go to the altar of heroes after death. Even after stepping onto the throne of Valhalla, he was still chained to the golden armchair by the cursed chains, judging from his dress, this is indeed an emperor who is extremely fond of luxury and strong desire for self-expression, such a person must be spurned and reviled by all generations, however, he still leans on his proud neck, unrepentant, and still contempts others, which shows that this is an emperor who has betrayed his relatives, an emperor who wants to be the emperor of eternal praise and eventually completely subverted, called a bloodthirsty tyrant.
Is that really the case? Although I haven't read too many chronicles of the Western Yuan, Lin Xiu's heart doesn't believe it, what is history? It's something written by the victor, and it's pretty good to be able to match 10 percent, but the specific time when these things happened and the characters fully prove that these things did happen, but why was she able to walk on the throne of Valhalla, but she was imprisoned in it? All these questions are waiting for answers, however, what does it mean that he and Sakura came to the gladiatorial arena in ancient Rome by accident because of the summoning of heroic spirits? The woman said how to untie the chains of her curse? In reality, there is still Tifa waiting for Lin Xiu to be resurrected, he doesn't have much time, he hurriedly checked his watch in anxiety, fortunately, time has been frozen, not flowing, and when he was puzzled, there was an apostle announcement in his mind.
"Turn on the hidden plot in the play, pause the time in the game, and obtain a half-contract, and the half-contract cannot follow the main messenger into other game scenes until the contract is complete.
The task is released, untie the cursed chains, you can liberate the contractor, because the contract is incomplete, so the points are not deducted, the task fails, and the obliteration treatment is given, and in the special plot, only 30% of your own ability can be opened. The apostle's announcement sounded, it was very complicated, Lin Xiu instantly understood many problems, the summoning spell, obviously unintentionally involved by him to the contract, and it turned out to be a half contract, if there is still half, then it must be in the body of Jian Tong Sakura, her third ability should be the contractor, since the time of the original world is suspended, then there is nothing too much to worry about, as long as you can go back alive, everything is fine, as for the contractor can't go to other worlds with him or something, It doesn't matter.
Now the most troublesome thing is how to open this cursed lock? Why did you come to the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome? Moreover, in my impression, it was the tyrant emperor of Rome who canceled this cruel and bloody competition and changed it to a sports competition, and he still received a lot of support at the beginning, but for some reason, he began to change his temperament later, and buried all the aura in front of him into the ground, revealing his bloodthirsty fangs and sharp mouth.
The apostle's announcement was also passed on to Jian Tong Sakura, but she was only six years old, and she was obviously still a little at a loss about all this, just looking at Lin Xiu and not daring to ask, anyway, the teacher is so powerful, he will definitely find a way to solve it.
"Listen to the slaves below, you are going to have a fight next, kill each other, and those who survive can be released." An officer above was wearing armor, holding a sword in his hand and pointing diagonally at Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Sakura below, so that Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Sakura would duel? Without knowing that they are people in the apostolic game, this is undoubtedly a sadistic performance, a duel between a six-year-old child and an adult? Is it still a matter of guessing who will win?
When Sakura heard this order, her little body shook unconsciously, and she duel with the teacher? How can that win. Let's not say that I can't do it. Just as good as the teacher. You will kill yourself in three or two clicks, so it's better to wait for death, how can this be? Will the teacher show mercy? Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but look up at Lin Xiu, still with that indifferent face, impossible, the teacher only likes useful tools, so her value is now only left to let the teacher live.
However, Lin Xiu didn't go to see the cherry blossoms. Looking upwards, the gladiatorial arena was quite gorgeously arranged, accommodating thirty or fifty thousand people, just like in Atlantis, those nobles above did not have regrets because it was an adult and a small child, on the contrary, their emotions were unusually high, what they wanted to see was not a wonderful fighting performance, what they wanted to see was killing, bloodthirsty carnage. Especially programs such as killing children, it can be regarded as a rare spice in their lives.
That's not what Lin Xiu wants to see. His gaze slowly condensed on the stand opposite, where there was also a throne, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old extremely handsome man sat there, although there was no expression on his solemn face, but Lin Xiuzhi said, his heart must be full of boredom, because he was the emperor of this country, Nero, he was not keen on this kind of interpretation, he preferred the performance in the arena.
This emperor, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, should have just ascended the throne from his age, with blonde hair and blue eyes, although his height has not yet matured, but the noble temperament revealed has a certain royal atmosphere, his eyes have a majesty, wearing a red dress, sitting upright, with a straight waist, for the nobles, these details must be cared about, and there are two women next to him, one of them, although he is over thirty years old, but his posture is still gorgeous, and his eyes are charming, even below, can also deduce her golden ratio line from her figure, she must have a pair of slender legs under Luo's skirt, but these can't hide her ambition, even if she sits there motionless, just smiling, Lin Xiu can also sniff out her ambition, it is this woman who is as beautiful as a fairy and has a heart like a poisonous scorpion, pushing Nero to the position of emperor, she is Nero's mother - Agrippina.
And on the other side of Nero sat a woman in a gorgeous purple court dress, undoubtedly his wife, that is, the current queen, Claudius's daughter, Octavia, this woman's appearance is also good, serious and meticulous, even from the entrance to the present, not even a smile, this woman is Agrippina's ally, although now it is said that Nero is the emperor, but everyone knows that the real ruler of Rome is actually now the head of the Senate Agrippina, and Octavia is the best eyeliner that Agrippina planted beside Nero, but both this mother and the wife next to him eventually died at Nero's hands, and at this moment, they still don't know the history behind the road.
Sixteen-year-old Nero sat on the throne, very bored, whether it was the women around him or the gladiatorial arena below, he did not like such performances, in fact he was an opponent of violence, and preferred artistic performances, all thanks to his first teacher, because Agrippina, who was extremely scheming at that time, was fully prepared for the future and devoted herself to cultivating her children's talents in all aspects.
However, to her surprise, instead of becoming a good politician, Nero, who was educated by his first teacher and second teacher, showed a rather genius side in poetry, racing cars, actors, and pianists, which made Agrippina furious, and finally handed him over to the current teacher, his ally, Seneca, Nero knew what kind of woman her mother was, and for the sake of power, she poisoned her husband, who was Nero's favorite father, and lied to the outside world about food poisoning, but these, Nero can only suppress in the psyche, because he understands this woman's temperament, knows her wrists, and now that the imperial power is unstable, he has no qualifications or strength to oppose everything she has arranged.
The most unacceptable thing for Nero is that she is obviously a beautiful girl, but for the sake of imperial power, she has to dress up as a boy, and she can't show her true face, and at the same time, she has to marry a woman with mediocre talent as his wife, and between the two is not to mention emotion, and even talk and communicate with only a handful, but these secrets can't be said, she still has to maintain a man's appearance under the magic imposed by her mother, because only a man can become the ruler of a country, rather than being an emperor, Nero wished she was an explorer, or a performer of a big show, and she felt that the feeling of wearing her favorite dress and being adored by all kinds of envious eyes far exceeded the temptation of an ethereal throne.
However, these words, she can only hold in her heart, perhaps, a lifetime can not pass on her favorite dress, she is extremely talented in design, and even her creative ability makes his two teachers sigh, but now, those favorite clothes and skirts, beautiful styles, can only be secretly hidden in the basement, only when the mother attends the senate, can secretly go to observe, but no one appreciates Nero feels extremely depressed and depressed, women are pleasing to themselves, there is no audience, What about even the most beautiful clothes?
Do you have to do this for the rest of your life? was manipulated in the hands of the woman with a heart like a poisonous scorpion like a puppet, and his father Izumishita knew if he could be peaceful? No, she is Nero, she never bows her head and accepts her fate, as long as she believes in the truth, no one can change it, just like the gladiatorial arena she sees now, one day, this place will become a gorgeous theater, but, now he still lacks an opportunity, an opportunity for him to show the authority of the emperor, and at this time, her eyes looked down, the two slaves in the gladiatorial arena are obviously foreigners, what a pitiful, that little girl stood obediently beside the man, obviously they used to depend on each other, and let them fight? This country, these nobles, this mother, are a bunch of bloodthirsty devils.
Thinking of this, Nero secretly clenched his fists, looked at the man, and seemed to find that something was wrong, he was looking at himself, neither humble nor arrogant, not submissive like other slaves, and then she knew that the opportunity for her to proclaim her charm as the emperor's first order had come.
"The Supreme King, this is my daughter, I can't bear the pain to fight her to the death, please let me fight for my life with an equally powerful enemy, only in this way can I put on a wonderful show for you." The man knelt on the ground on one knee, because the apostle made them fit the dress of this era, and now Lin Xiu can only be naked, and on the muscles, there are some scar lines left by the apostle after healing, which is eye-catching and abnormal.
When Sakura saw her teacher kneeling on one knee, she quickly crawled beside him, and the teacher... Didn't you want to kill yourself, the teacher said that she was his daughter, daughter? I don't know what Lu Dao is for.,I don't want to be a teacher's daughter.,But... I'm really glad that the teacher is going to fight for himself. (To be continued......)
