Lei Zhe opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment.

It's a theater, a golden theater, and it's empty except for itself, without any audience or actors. At this time, he was dressed in a black gown with elaborate but luxurious gold ornaments, and he was like a nobleman attending a ball, but he was the only one in the theater.

"This is...?" Lei Zhe was a little puzzled, and then he found that his body was no longer ethereal, but full of texture, and he could even feel the temperature of his body and the beating of his heart.

Click...

The lights around the theater suddenly went out, and the entire theater fell into darkness, and then the spotlights came on, shining on Lei Zhe's body. In the originally empty theater, I remembered the applause, and in this applause, under the illumination of the spotlight, the red curtain was opened, and then Lei Zhe was stunned.

Behind the red curtain stood a young girl, with a long red dress, blond hair, and green eyes, she looked at herself and smiled, this girl was Nero!

Nero lifted the corner of his skirt and walked in front of the dazed Lei Zhe, and at this time the applause in the theater stopped, and the two of them looked at each other quietly until the beautiful music sounded.

"Don't you have any ideas when you hear this music?" Nero asked with a sweet smile, and then she raised her right hand and looked at the man in front of her expectantly.

Lei Zhe saw the other party's movements, the stunned expression on his face disappeared, he first bent down to Nero and saluted, then smiled and took Nero's right hand, hugged the other party's waist, and the two took steps in this melodious music and jumped to the rhythm.

In the entire glorious theater, there are only these two people, the spotlight moves with their dance steps, they are the only protagonists tonight...

"Why am I here? What is this place? ”

"Don't you think it's embarrassing to ask that kind of question now?" Nero looked into the man's eyes and replied, and then she broke away from Lei Zhe's embrace, and the two of them held hands and slid away from the left and right, and then stopped moving.

"I'm just a little confused." Lei Zhe looked at Nero and said, then continued: "Now I am not suitable for this kind of thing. ”

"I don't know where it is, but there's nothing wrong with having a good time...", Nero fell on his arm under the power of Lei Zhe, looked at the other party and said with a smile.

The dance continued, but the two stopped talking and looked at each other like this, although it was the first time for the two to work together, their movements were very smooth and graceful, just like their dance partners for many years, without any rustiness and unnaturalness.

"Your real name should be Lei Zhe, right?" During the dance, Nero said suddenly.

Hearing the other party's words, Lei Zhe's movements froze, and even his smile froze slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, but he did not answer Nero's words.

"I know it all, Reizhe, Enkidu, Gilgamesh, Uruk, Three Kings, War Against the Gods..."Nero continued, looking at the man in front of her and said, "I, I grew up listening to your stories..."

That's right, Nero did grow up listening to "The Epic of the Three Kings", otherwise she would not have cherished those civilians so much, so to speak, the reason why she can become like this is due to the story of Lei Zhe and others.

For the characters in the story, in addition to respect, Nero also has all kinds of longings, whether it is the hero king Gilgamesh, or Enkidu, who became one of the three kings as a woman, or Reizhe, she is full of worship!

So when she knew Lei Zhe's true identity, that feeling couldn't be described at all, just like a little girl chasing stars suddenly found that her neighbor was her idol.

It's just that as she continues to interpret Lei Zhe's dream, she finds that she doesn't just worship this man...

"How do you know?"

"Because of dreams!"

"Dreams...?"

"That's right, because I saw your dreams, from the moment you appeared three years ago, until now, I have witnessed everything you have seen in the past! As if I had experienced it myself, I felt the feelings of the three of you, and I felt the relationship between you... Love..."

Nero said here and hugged Lei Zhe with his backhand, leaning on his arms, the originally melodious music suddenly stopped, and the whole theater fell into silence.

Lei Zhe was hugged by Nero, but he still had his usual smile, and even his heart did not make waves, he said with a smile: "What are you doing?" ”

"......" Nero raised his head, looked at Lei Zhe and said with some excitement: "Transaction, in your eyes, is our relationship just a transaction?" I've been lying to myself for the last year that it's just a deal, that's right, it's just a deal! But, but I can't lie to myself, I, I... I'm right to you...! ”

Nero's words disappeared before he could finish speaking, and the entire theater crumbled and shattered in the sight of Lei Zhe, and the world was plunged into darkness.

Lei Zhe stood quietly in place, the smile on his face never changed: "This, it's just a deal..."

…………

Lei Zhe woke up again, and then he found himself back in the familiar room, and he smiled, thinking that he could have such a dream, could he have any thoughts about Nero?

He froze as he turned to look at Nero, who was sleeping on the bed.

Because in this room there were three other people besides himself and Nero!

The three of them were dressed in black, and Lei Zhe was familiar with military uniforms, and at this time, the three of them were standing beside Nero's bed, and one of them was holding a long sword, and this long sword pierced Nero's chest directly!

Blood flowed down the wound, making the originally red sheets more vivid, Nero opened his eyes, did not call for help, did not struggle, but looked at Lei Zhe standing on the side, she didn't even observe what those who killed her looked like, in her eyes, only the ghost-like figure.

"That's the end of it, right? But I really didn't expect that the emperor of Rome would be such a beautiful little girl! One of them looked at Nero and shook his head and said with some regret, "But, don't you think she looks familiar?" ”

"......" The three of them ignored each other, and then said in unison: "Your Majesty Enqidu!" "That's right, Nero and Enki both look exactly alike, except for the long dull hair, the two of them are almost carved out of the same mold.

"But it just looks like it, it's done, let's go." As one person's voice fell, the other two nodded, and all three disappeared into the room at the same time.

Lei Zhe didn't care about the familiar clothes on the three people, and he didn't even show any performance when the other party left him, he just floated quietly beside Nero's bed, looking at Nero who was lying on the bed, although he was still breathing but his face was pale, his expression still didn't change, smiling, smiling...

Even though he was laughing, there was a liquid coming out of his black left eye, which was so thick that it was like asphalt or mud, and it slid down his cheek and fell to the ground, dyeing the floor of the room black with just a single drop, and foaming like boiling lava.

The normal right eye is corroded by black things, gradually turning into the same black as the left eye, and the white pupils emit a strange light.

Nero looked at the calm Lei Zhe, with a smile on her pale face, she raised her hand, as if to grab the man standing by the bed, but in the end her hand fell weakly, closed her eyes, tears slipped down the corners of Nero's eyes, she muttered to herself: "I really envy the person who can draw the long sword, if there is an afterlife, I will stand on this stage for you, and perform the music composed by you, forever..."

"Maybe it's not me who loves you the most, but the only person I love the most will always be you... Who else in this world but me can perform your songs...? The flame-like girl closed her eyes after saying these words.

And at this moment, a powerful power fluctuation came from outside the palace, and the moment this power appeared, the whole earth trembled, and a crisp voice sounded above the palace in the middle of the night: "I have finally found you, you traitors of Uruk!" ”

"Traitor?! Lord Viya, you are the real traitors! We are only here to fulfill the last wish of the Three Kings and let the glory of Uruk reign over this decaying land! Lord Viya, you have fallen! Tens of thousands of Uruks have fallen! ”

"Shut up! It is you who have fallen, you traitors blinded by power, have you forgotten that you have strayed from the teachings of the Three Kings from the beginning of your claim to be gods? My teacher once said that no matter how powerful we are, we are still human beings, not gods! This time it was a male voice who spoke, but his voice was full of anger.

"Oh, Lord Veya, Lord Fiwen, you are degenerate, you are still the king's students, you are not qualified to be the king's students at all!! Only by ruling this world can I, Uruk, live forever! Only in this way can the brilliance of the three kings be given to this world, and it is you who betray the three kings, those of you who have no power but choose to rot! ”

There was silence outside the palace, but then the flames of heaven were ignited, and the flames were like greedy monsters devouring everything, almost setting half of the city on fire!

The flames spread very quickly, and soon burned to Nero's room, Lei Zhe looked at Nero who fell on the bed, gradually being eaten away by the flames, and the smile never disappeared.

"It's just a deal... It's just a game, I lost..."Lei Zhe said calmly, even so, the polluted black ground under his feet looked violent, and countless black tentacles drilled out and wrapped around Lei Zhe's body, and soon Lei Zhe was swallowed by this black substance, this mud-like thing rolled and twisted on his body, and finally took shape.

Reezer had vanished, replaced by a knight in black armor surrounded by black mist, shimmering with a red, oozing light through the cracks in his helmet, which was like a flame in the darkness, pulsing.

"You already knew, didn't you?" A gloomy voice came from inside the armor, and Lei Zhe asked as he looked at Nero.

"I said that while you are changing your fate, you are also creating a new destiny, now you understand? Some things can't be changed..."The voice of the chain soul sounded, and she was very calm.

“… Can't change it? After all, I still don't have the strength! If, if I had the strength, it would never end like this! This game, I lost, but I want you to show me how to gain power, because I don't want to see anything like this happen again..."

Chain Soul was silent, and then she smiled: "You still haven't seen it clearly, in that case, I'll give you power, I want to see if you can change with power, no, it should be said that after you change the fate of others, whether you can accept your own fate, I'm looking forward to it..."

Looking at Nero, who was engulfed in flames, Reezer disappeared into the room...

The largest fire in Rome's history burned for seven days and seven nights, burning almost all of Rome. Claudius. Drusus. It is said that Germanicus was killed in a sea of fire, and according to the malicious description of some people, the cause of this fire was Nero, and she became the most famous tyrant in the history of the world...!

……

Seven days later, in the city completely in ruins, several people were searching.

"Master Mei, I found it!" One of the attendants raised his head and shouted, and Mei, dressed as a magician, walked over with a smile on her face.

In the midst of the ruins, several men carried out a boulder, on which was stuck a golden sword trapped in iron chains, which remained undamaged even after being burned by the fire for seven days.

"Finally, I found it! Sword of the King! May muttered to herself excitedly.

"My lord, what the hell is this thing for?" The attendant was a little puzzled, this long sword was nothing special except for its gorgeous shape, why did Master Mei care so much about this sword?

Mei heard the squire's question and said with a smile: "This long sword is destined for the future of Britain, we must bring it back, Britain will change, I have seen the future...!" ”

"Master Mei..."The attendant wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mei: "The name Mei is meaningless, from now on... My name is Merlin! That's right, Merlin, the prophet Merlin! ”

Merlin looked up into the distance, it was the direction of his native Britain, he had seen the future...
