Chapter 121: The Origins of Rome (6K)
"If it's you, there's no problem, Ludwig."
This is a hint from Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.
"Brother Ludwig, the emperor takes turns, it's you today!"
Anastasia hinted that in fact, I can also be on it, so I'll give it to you this time, anyway, I'll be on it more times than you.
Ludwig hesitated for a moment, looking at the surroundings and the fact that the entire ruins of the Senate seemed to have been forgotten by the world.
Of course, this was just Ludwig's delusion.
As part of the Roman succession ceremony, successive generations of "Caesar, Octavian, Julius, Augustus, and Constantine" came to visit this holy place.
It is only open once every 100 years, and it is usually a forbidden area for the Viennese court, and it is only opened by order of Her Majesty the Holy Roman Empire.
"It is said that every orthodox Roman emperor sat on this throne and could see something."
Margaret looked at this presley throne with a complicated expression.
When she was a child, she and her younger brother Roman secretly ran to this ruin, trying to sit on the throne that only a Roman emperor could do.
However, at that time, the two were still young, and their father was still alive, so they didn't think about so many things in the future.
In fact, probably as long as the blood of the Roman gods sat on it, they would say what they saw.
Margaret recalls the time she sat on it, and what appeared to be a big furry tail was seen.
The younger brother Roman even claimed that he saw the first Roman emperor "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine" himself, and proudly said that this was a sign that he would inherit the Roman Empire in the future.
Whether it's true or not, no one can prove it.
But his little niece, Anastasia, would go to sleep on this throne every year when she came to the Vienna court for vacation.
"What you see, a lot!"
"Gold, gems, emeralds, the New World!"
The answer she gave made Margaret laugh dumbly,
Perhaps, this is just a pipe dream?
What will you see, depending on what you want?
I longed for supernatural power, so I saw the mysterious tail.
The younger brother Rome was eager to conquer the world, so he saw the first emperor "Caesar * Octavian * Julius * Augustus * Constantine".
The little niece Anastasia is full of money and wealth, so what she sees is information related to wealth.
The throne left by the first Roman emperors seems to be like a mirror, reflecting different world landscapes according to different people.
So, Ludwig, what will you see?
If this throne really symbolizes the Roman emperor, will you get the approval of the throne?
Ludwig sat down on the throne with a cat carving with some curiosity.
It can be seen that the creator of this throne really has no artistic cells, and the technique is used in a mess, and the outline of the cat is also crooked.
It's just that there is nothing false about the intense enthusiasm contained in it.
Even, let Ludwig have a certain resonance.
This resonance reached its climax at the moment when Ludwig sat on the throne of the god blood cat cat.
"Boom!" In Ludwig's realm of absolute time, time began to turn back!
No, it's not that time is beginning to turn back, it's that Ludwig's memories are beginning to be carried back up the river of history by some mysterious force.
Like a book, Ludwig's position at the moment is the hundredth page of the book, and this mysterious power is taking him to the first page of the story.
It's not a time regression, it's a memory regression.
The Roman calendar – a time that did not yet exist.
Caesar, the young hunter, stretched, rubbed his eyes and touched his belly.
Today was another day when nothing was caught, and there wasn't even a single hares that could often be seen in the forest.
I checked all my traps, and they were all set up well, so why didn't there be a single prey?
This state of affairs lasted not for a day or two, but for a full week.
Hunters who can't catch even a rabbit for a week will be laughed at, which makes hunters who make a living from hunting directly lose their source of income.
"Can you only eat berries today?"
"If you eat too much of that thing, you will have diarrhea, and you can't steal the honey of the nobles."
There is nothing new under the sun, and all known beehives in the Alps have been marked by the servants of the noble lords.
As one of the few natural sweeteners in the world, and with the property of not spoiling and can be stored for a long time, honey has become one of the favorite hard currencies among the aristocracy.
Caesar only dared to secretly take some honey to eat before the new hive was discovered by the beekeepers of the noble lords, and the sweetness could be said to be unforgettable.
And for a while, even the bees seem to have fled the forest on which Caesar depended and disappeared.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Even butterflies and mosquitoes are gone, and ants are extinct?"
"I'm not the only living animal in this forest, am I?"
Caesar hadn't seen a moving creature since he had gone deep into the forest a week earlier and had lost his way.
Except for the towering trees, Caesar was the only one left in the entire forest.
Fortunately, he was a hunter, and with the salt and berries he brought with him, he had a hard time surviving the week.
It can't go on like this, berries are easy to cause diarrhea, and humans are animals that want to eat meat!
Caesar climbed the tallest tree nearby again, trying to find his way out.
Just looking at the surrounding mountains and woods covered with thick fog, he fell into despair again.
No, no matter how you look at it, no matter how you follow experience, you can't get out of the forest.
The entire forest seems to be covered by some invisible mysterious power, completely isolated from the world.
Normally, he could walk out of the forest in a day, but he hadn't seen real sunlight for a week.
"Is it a mountain monster?"
Remembering the legends of the many ghosts in the Alps, Caesar shuddered, but finally picked up his hunting blade and continued to find his way out of the forest.
Again and again, he overcame thorns and thorns, followed the stream again and again, and the familiar forest in the past did not know why it became extremely unfamiliar, until a scene that made Caesar completely stunned appeared in front of him.
It was a lake that Caesar had never seen before, and beneath it slumbered a behemoth with only a few scales.
In the middle of the lake, there is a huge ancient tree that connects the sky and the earth.
Huge totem poles about 100 meters high stand out of the lake and surround the giant trees, which is a grand miracle that Caesar never imagined.
Beneath the ancient tree, a golden magical creature is sleeping.
What a beautiful creature it was, it looked a little like a cat that Caesar knew, but how could there be a cat in this world that radiated a soft golden glow all over its body.
Caesar couldn't help but run forward, running, trying to see the magical golden cat.
He would swim over that lake and wash up that island to witness the miracle.
However, contrary to his wishes, he approached the lake where the magical golden cats lived, and before he could enter the lake, his consciousness became blurred.
Instinctively, he knew that this was not a place for him to enter.
Here, not the Alpine forests as he knew them, were "the realm of the gods."
The magical creatures sleeping under the ancient trees do not belong to this world, not to this world that is so barren that it has never produced a true dream seed.
Dream species, this is the noun that suddenly appeared in his mind, it is the darling of the power of the rules of the world, the great creature loved by heaven and earth, and the beginning of the original primitive worship of mankind.
It is one of the earliest prototypes of the concept of "God".
Ah, yes, that's God.
O great, mysterious, fantastic gods!
Let me take another look, just one look.
Caesar desperately opened his eyelids, but he still couldn't withstand the power of the gods, and fell on the shore leading to the fantasy species.
A golden glow rendered on the fallen Caesar, eroding his body little by little.
On the first night, Caesar grew cat ears.
The next night, Caesar grew a cat's tail.
On the third night, Caesar's whole body began to exude some golden particles, and the cat's ears and tail also turned golden.
At dawn on the last day, Caesar opened his eyes, and the pupils appeared in complex and varied lines, and when focused, they took on the shape of vertical pupils characteristic of felines.
"Is it you, is it you who gave me strength?"
"Are you, God?"
Caesar, who discovered the great change in his body, was ecstatic and tried to rush into that lake.
"Meow!"
The golden cat under the ancient tree wagged its tail, as if awake.
As the fog began to dissipate, Caesar had an ominous premonition and desperately jumped into the lake in an attempt to break through the barrier.
Swim, swim, when Caesar came ashore wet, he saw a sea covered in ice and snow, and the distant aurora in the sky.
He crossed the entire Alps and reached the end of the world - the Arctic Ocean.
"Why, why!"
"If you have blessed me with God, why can't I even see you!"
"My God, are you a blessing or a curse on me?"
Desperate, Caesar wept loudly at the end of the world, as if he had lost the whole world.
For the next year, Caesar was on a mission.
Here's what he said to everyone he met:
"I see God, the real god!"
"The great god exists in the form of a cat!"
"God, it's all around us!"
"How unfortunate it is that we are not aware of the existence of God with our weak perception!"
"We need to trust God and be kind to cats."
For this sloppy homeless man who can't take care of himself, everyone's reaction is surprisingly similar.
"Get out, you bum!"
"What's the matter with that cat's ears and tail, some kind of toy?"
"What, it's alive, monsters, monsters, cat demons!"
Yes, in that era of ignorance, people used the contemptuous terms "monster" and "cat demon" to call Caesar.
The church even claimed that this was a person possessed by the devil and issued a wanted warrant.
"Why, why doesn't everyone believe me?"
"Why, you all believe in the existence of God, but you don't recognize me who is truly blessed by God!"
"My cat's ears and tail are proof of the true power of God!"
"Am I wrong, or is the world wrong?"
Caesar, who was despised, had done nothing bad, and had really come into contact with the real side of the world, fell into confusion.
At first, he simply hid from the army sent by the Church and wandered through the forest with the knowledge of his Orion.
However, as more and more inquisitors were sent by the Church, the bounties offered were higher and higher, and other hunters joined the hunt, his situation became more and more difficult.
"Why, I've explained it countless times, I'm not a monster, the gods really exist, it's the appearance of a cat!"
"My cat's ears and tail are proof that I have been blessed by God!"
"Shut up, monster, you've been bewitched by the devil!"
"How can God be in the form of a cat, God is loving, the Creator of all!"
"You monster, you deserve to be burned!"
"His cat ears and tail are worth a lot, and the church has offered a reward of 1,000 gold coins, so I won't have to worry about killing him for the rest of my life!"
After an unknown number of explanations, Caesar became more and more suspicious that it was the world that was wrong.
Finally, it dawned on him.
"The church is wrong, and the current church members do not understand what the real God is."
"I, I want to change such a wrong world, wrong knowledge."
"For, my God!"
In the Alps, Caesar's feet were strewn with corpses, and this time the hunters even poisoned all the animals in the forest in order to kill him.
Caesar, at last, couldn't bear it anymore.
Then, don't put up with it anymore!
God's blessings give me the power to change the world!
Seeing God and receiving this power, he took on the mission of changing the world.
On the snow-capped summit of the highest peak of the Alps, the once young Orion boy picked up his hunting blade and made his voice to the world:
"I'm going to create a whole new world!"
"A person who believes in the existence of God proves that God has come to this world!"
"A new country, a country full of life."
"The power of the Church is no longer exalted, and only those who have the blessing of true God can become the king of the world."
"My God, doesn't need that kind of faith, God doesn't need anyone to give it tribute."
"My God, be with us!"
Using the power bestowed upon him by the blood of the gods, Caesar began to make a chair to be placed deep in the Alps.
After a few more months, he came out of the Alps in full gear.
"God exists, and God has promised me to be the king of the world."
He came to his native village and became the patriarch with absolute overwhelming power.
From here, the story of the great conquest of the first emperors of ancient Rome is recorded in later history.
He defeated one tribe after another in the Alps, married the daughters of the chiefs of these tribes, and began to expand his power centered on the Alps.
The following year, he set out for the Aegean Sea and single-handedly broke the union of city-states that had once been on the Aegean Sea.
The terrible barbarians slaughtered from the Alps, and it was the end of civilization.
In the fifth year, his army broke through the stronghold of the former church and hanged all the priests who had issued arrest warrants for him.
The Roman careerists are destroying the order of the civilized world, and God, punish this sinner!
In the tenth year, half of the continent of Europa had already succumbed to Caesar.
King Caesar is no longer satisfied with the hegemony of the Mediterranean, he wants to become the ruler of the entire continent of Europa, and we still have one last chance to form a coalition.
The second decade.
Europa was unified, and Caesar married his hundredth concubine, becoming the first emperor in the history of Europa.
Praise to His Majesty the Great Roman Emperor, long live Rome!
"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar, God exists!"
"You yourself are the blessed son of God's blood, the great Caesar!"
"It is the honor of my life to be crowned for you, and it will be a moment that will go down in history!"
The church that had once existed no longer existed, and the church that had been on high and proclaimed that "the power of the monarch comes from the gift of God" was falling apart.
In the end, the new church that betrayed the original church and took the initiative to join the side of the Roman Empire, acknowledging that "God exists in this world and is all around us".
It is also the "posture of God with cat ears and cat tail" that was written into the church books and has been passed down to the current revolutionary church.
Stained with untold blood, he single-handedly defeated one tribe after another, killing probably the first great man in history.
The son of the blood of God, blessed by God, the first Roman emperor "Caesar * Octavian * Julius * Augustus * Constantine" smiled.
He sat on the cat throne of his own making, lining his chin, and the first senate members in front of him, and the later electors of Rome did not dare to say a word.
A concubine, representing the position of a member of the Senate, was a rule laid down by Caesar.
In just a few decades, Caesar married many mortal women and had triple-digit offspring.
Among them, there are about a dozen who have inherited part of the divine blood and bloodline, and have cat ears or cat tails.
"Rome is the Rome of God."
"God's gift does not need to be certified by the church, because God has left a real mark on it."
"Why don't the priests of the church believe me, and only affirm this fact after I have conquered the world?"
"How sinful it is that I have killed so many people for God's sake."
"But, I don't have a choice, do I?"
The most honorable emperor of the world, Caesar, who was blessed by God, sighed and looked at the members of the Senate below.
"Let's disperse."
Caesar, the first Roman emperor who conquered the world by himself and married many forces to establish a thousand-year-old empire, waved his hand a little lonely.
"Thank you, Great Majesty!"
"His Majesty Caesar's reign will remain unchanged for thousands of years!"
"Long live Caesar!"
The princes of the Senate would only be so humble when facing the Divine Blood Emperor.
They instinctively realized that His Majesty Emperor Caesar, who had the blood of God, and mortals like themselves were completely different levels of beings.
Yes, that is proof of God's existence.
In the past, many people didn't believe in God.
Because no one has ever found proof of God's existence in this world, the miracles proclaimed by the church do not stand up to scrutiny.
Even the cardinals of the Church themselves, there are many who feel that God is just a human imagination, a fantasy of the unknown that human beings have.
It wasn't until Caesar came out of the Alps that he claimed to have truly seen God.
At first, people thought he was a madman, and the mutated and twisted ears and tail were the best proof of this.
For a while, Caesar's name hung high above the church's wanted list, and he was seen as a blasphemous beast monster.
In order to kill Caesar, it is better to directly carry out the most brutal execution of Caesar, and the church has offered a hefty bounty.
Finally, Caesar finally couldn't take it anymore and began to kill people on a killing spree.
I'll kill as many people as you come!
You have the support of seventy percent of the countries of Europa, and the kings need you to be crowned in order to inherit the throne, so I will build a kingdom that is not under your control.
What, the multinational coalition is coming against me, saying that I have blasphemed God.
Well, I'll show you what the true power of divine blood is.
Ten men came to kill me, and I killed ten.
If a hundred men come to kill me, I will kill a hundred!
All the Knights of the Church Judgment have been dispatched, and there are 3,000 servants, and I will kill them all as well.
Multinational coalition, anti-Roman coalition, 30,000 troops?
You think you can strangle me if you gather enough trash fish?
Even if the army is three times larger, what will I, Caesar, fear?
For God's sake, in order to correct the wrongs of this world, I must stand up and tell everyone the truth about the world!
I'm bored, do you want to continue?
Then I'll kill the church too!
I will slay all the priests of the devil who have blasphemed me and possessed me by wild beasts!
Haha, I really killed in front of you, and after killing all your guard knights, why did they all kneel down and beg me for mercy?
What about your faith in God?
How resolute are you when you swear that I am a blasphemous monster?
What about the smug look on your face when you poured dirty sewage on me?
Why, now all surrendered to me, or unconditionally?
Do you think I'm going to forgive, forgive you bugs who slander me and want to get rid of me by any means?
You say, "You can crown me and recognize me as emperor."
You say that you are indispensable to Europa, and that if you kill your civilization, there will be a fault.
You say there is nothing that is not negotiable.
I'm sorry, I didn't listen.
For I swore on the top of the Alps to create a more beautiful world for my gods.
Kill everyone, not a single one, all of them.
There is no place for you moths in the kingdom I have built.
My Rome is the Rome of the blood of God.
Perhaps, I will never see my God again, but I will do whatever it takes to leave a testament that God has come to this world.
I want to make the Rome of this world immortal!
