140 The Love of a Tyrant
My name is Nero, Nero. Claudius. Drusus. Speak of Germanicus!
The fifth emperor of the Roman Empire, a man who reigned in Rome as a woman!
In Rome I had many names, and the nobles called me 'tyrant', 'butcher', 'executioner', 'lackey of the plebeians'!
And the commoners and slaves called me 'Hope', 'Light', 'The Diamond of Rome'!
In the political arena, I am the emperor and everyone is afraid of me!
In the opera house, I am a star, praised and praised by 10,000 people!
In the gladiatorial arena, I am a warrior, I kill lions and tigers with a short sword, and listen to the cheers of the audience!
I got everything I wanted, but I also lost everything.
I fulfilled my original wish, and I lost what I could gain later.
When I go back to my room, when I take off my fancy dress, when I take off my extravagant crown, and cover up all the light and aura, I am nothing, I am just a little girl looking forward to seeing that person...
My name is Nero, Nero. Claudius. Drusus. Speak of Germanicus!
One, a fool who knows it's deception and exploitation, but still willingly...
………………
At the end of the day's work, Nero dragged his tired body back to his room, with Lei Zhe's plan and teaching, the originally slightly young girl has become an excellent emperor, she is sometimes gentle and sometimes irritable, she is the perfect emperor in the eyes of the people, including pure and turbid, right and wrong!
Rome was also growing in glory thanks to her efforts, and everything was moving in the direction that Nero had hoped for.
Closing the door, Nero subconsciously looked at the man in front of the window who was always floating in the air and looking out of the window, he was always like this for more than a year, sitting there quietly, as if recalling something!
The sound of the door closing alarmed him, and then his calm voice sounded: "I came back late today, is there a lot of work?" "It's bland, like a person asking if you've eaten something like this, but Nero can feel his concern.
For more than a year, it is not only Nero who has been changed, but also Lei Zhe.
He still hated himself and longed for power as he did then, but as time passed, he became more and more calm, not like he did at the beginning, and now he was like a lake frozen for ten thousand years, and no one knew what was hidden under the thick ice.
Maybe it's the deep, piercing waters, maybe it's the flames of scorching rage, or maybe it's the endless abyss of darkness...
"There is a nobleman who has embezzled all the goods of the merchants from the East and killed all the people of this caravan, which is a bit troublesome." Recently, with the continuous prosperity of Rome, many foreign merchants gathered in this city, but this also led to a series of things, the most serious of which is the case of some Roman nobles embezzling the goods of foreign merchants, this time is definitely not the last time, but it must be the most serious one!
"What are you going to do?"
"Kill!" Nero's expression changed, but he immediately returned to normal, and said calmly: "Recently, there have been more and more merchants from the East, and from the fact that they are even more elaborate than my Rome, this shows that there is a very powerful country in the East, if this matter is spread, it will be us who will be unlucky in the end!" A bunch of moths whose eyes are covered by greed, haven't they thought about the country?! "The more Nero talked, the angrier he became, when would those bastards be willing to put this country first? And not yourself, or your own family?!
"Your goal is still far away, take your time, but it's only a year, and you can turn Rome into what it is now completely beyond my expectations, I can see the changes in Rome, you have worked hard." Lei Zhe turned around and said to Nero with a smile, his smile at this time was completely different from the fake smile he had a year ago, but sincere.
“… I went to take a shower. Nero did not answer Reiger's words, but walked into the bathroom of the room, and soon the sound of water could be heard inside.
"I... Should you go for a voyeur? Lei Zhe smiled, and then he floated to the window and looked at the starry sky and the moon in the middle of the night and said, "Thousands of years have passed, and it seems that none of you have changed... Also, nine years? ”
……
In the bathroom, Nero soaked in the bathtub and dived his whole body into the water, his mouth exhaling in the water, and the bubbles kept tumbling.
In fact, Nero has a secret that he did not tell Lei Zhe, that is, from the first time the two met, Nero began to spy on his memories, in the form of dreams.
During the day, Nero would study or work, and at night she would enter into Recihe's memories and peek into things that were a thing of the past.
It's like watching a TV series, one episode a day, non-stop until now, and in the process, she's learned a lot.
Rezhe, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Uruk, the glorious Age of the Three Kings...
"Ray... Thunder... Lei Zhe is your real name, right? Sword Spirit? If you don't know, you'll really think you're a sword spirit... Three kings... I grew up listening to your stories! With that, Nero dived into the water, and after a few seconds she stood up violently and then exclaimed, "My name is Nero, Nero!" You bastard, remember me, I'm the Emperor of Rome! The most beautiful tyrant!! ”
Lei Zhe in the room was stunned for a moment when he heard Nero's voice, then smiled and did not respond.
Feeling the silence outside, Nero sat back down in the tub and said with some chagrin, "Bastard, bastard..."
……
Half an hour later, Nero walked out of the bathroom, she wiped her hair with a towel, and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, I'll sleep in the study tonight, you can rest early." ”
"You seem to be spending the night in your study lately? Don't be too busy, and arrange your rest time reasonably, so that you can have more energy to complete the daily work. ”
"You don't have to worry about my business, I'm free to do it." Nero finished speaking and left, Lei Zhe didn't care, after all, the relationship between the two is like this, just a transaction.
Leaving her room, Nero came to another room not far away, where she pushed open the door and entered.
The room wasn't big or extravagant, but it was lit with hundreds of candles, and the candlelight illuminated the room as if it were day.
There is no luxurious velvet bed, no expensive marble table, no bookshelves full of books, this room has only statues except candles, dozens of finished or finished statues are placed in the room.
Closing the door, Nero walked over to an unfinished statue, picked up his tool and thought for a moment, and then began to carve it, and the empty room sounded with a regular sound, and white rubble splashed and fell to the ground.
Time passed little by little, this statue that was originally just an outline gradually became clear, Nero did not stop, she thought about it with her heart, all the mannerisms and movements of that person appeared in her mind, even temperament, and then modified and carved the statue in front of her little by little.
If Lei Zhe was here, he would find that all the statues in this room were carved in his image, and each of them had a different expression, some were smoking cigarettes with a wicked smile, some were looking ahead in military uniforms, some were full of tyranny and anger, and some had calm expressions without waves...
The tinkling sound continued until dawn...
