Throughout the history of Rome, it was only during the reign of Octavian that completely and completely suppressed the Senate, so that the upper aristocratic elite represented by the Senate, which controlled knowledge and writing, could almost be said to have completely reduced it to a tool for governing the state (Rome).

No one, including his father-in-law Caesar, or all the heads of Rome after him, was able to do this, which shows how deep his political talent and political calculations are, and can be said to be unique in the entire history of Rome.

Of course, the foundation laid by Caesar during his lifetime cannot be ignored.

In short, in the context of the times at that time, Octavian could not quickly become a ruler with unlimited power like the despotic monarchs of the East, so he told the Senate that he would resolutely defend the aristocratic republic, and even took the initiative to hand over his various powers, so as to confuse the nobles, and at the same time, through formal legal means, slowly concentrated the power he wanted on himself.

It can be said that everything Octavian has done since he came to power seems to be reasonable and legitimate, and the Romans at that time naively thought that they were still living under a republican system, but in fact, Octavian had quietly set about establishing an empire and imposing imperial government.

By the time the Senate reacted, it was too late, and Octavian, who had been given the name of Augustus (translated holy and revered in Latin), had become the de facto ruler of Rome.

It is worth mentioning that this also indirectly led to the fact that many of the heads of the Roman Empire after him were killed directly or indirectly by the Senate who wanted to restore the aristocratic republic, after all, they were one dimension behind Octavian in terms of political calculations.

Octavian, who appeared as Saber's position, was not the most important in terms of force, but mainly because of his keen political sense, scheming and scheming, and it can be said that among the Roman emperors present, there was no one who could stand out in this area.

It was he who, after being summoned, saw through the simplicity at a glance, but was only on the same side as Leif on the surface, and actually had his own plans, but whether it was good or bad was unknown for the time being.

But it is undeniable that if in the entire history of mankind (future), there is really only this young man and the new Chaldea that he is talking about, then he is the only treasure that he and the divine ancestor can bet on.

It's just that, before that, Octavian still wants to observe and test more, and get to know each other more through his simple actions here.

But unexpectedly, the boy was aware of this.

In the morning, he wanted to let himself and his father train for the girl Matthew, but secretly showed himself an unusually honest look.

But unfortunately, before he could have any substantive communication with the boy, he was stopped by the man (Leif......

It seems that I still have to find a chance to talk to this teenager in private, but how to avoid Leif's gaze...

As soon as he thought of this, Octavian's hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped, and the draft of the speech that had just been confronted by the Divine Ancestor came to mind.

All the characters of the entire speech began to change positions in Gaius's mind according to various rules, and after many attempts and cuts, a straightforward sentence appeared.

In the wee hours of the morning, my room. - Simple.

Because the simple message was too straightforward and undisguised, Octavian couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Caesar, who couldn't help but laugh when he saw his son smashing and drinking, sent a questioning look.

"Father, do you remember when you invented a more secure form of communication?"

Octavian said no more.

Caesar thought about it, and he did promote a secure method of communication during his lifetime, which was to move each letter of the letter down three positions, so as to achieve the function of hiding the information in the article.

Could it be that ...!

Caesar's eyes widened when he realized something.

Could it be that the speech just now, which was full of nonsense and scenes, hides the message from the young man?!

At the same time, the cheers and noises of the people outside the palace rang out again, announcing that the simple speech was over.

Octavian, on the other hand, once again raised his glass, and seemed to be caught up in the lustful dogs and horses in front of him, enjoying himself to the fullest......

In the tavern, the red-faced simple pulled the unhappy-looking Leif one after another.

It's just that I'm basically drinking it myself.

"Brother Lef, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, chasing a girl is not something that can be done overnight, we have to take our time, just like me, do you know how long it took me to chase my girlfriend?"

"I said that it has nothing to do with that kind of thing, I just think that she is a talent, so I have a little bit of solicitation for her! Just a little bit! Leif's mouth was always hard, and his eager eyes to know how long it had been betrayed his heart.

"Three years, three years!"

Leif immediately showed you kid don't think I'm stupid, how long has it been since the Holy Grail War started to end, where did you go to pursue the Knight King for three years?

"You don't believe me?" Simple asked drunken eyes, and then slapped the door of the head, "Oh, the whole fork is split, Brother Lef, I just said not the Knight King, but my other girlfriend." ”

Rafe:???

This man is more than one woman?

"Artoria is a special case, in modern terms, we entered into a marriage contract under force majeure circumstances, and we met after that. I'm not talking about the Knight King, but about another girl I've licked my entire youth. Anyway, it was when I was just in middle school, at the opening ceremony..."

Just as Simple Gaze gradually became melodious, gradually recalling the past that might not have existed, the alert Leif immediately raised his hand and decisively interrupted the other party who was quite chatty.

"I'm not here with you to hear this from you!"

Subtext: Talk about the point, don't talk about it, I'm leaving.

The simplicity of reading the subtext, put down the wine glass, leaned closer, and at the same time changed the conversation: "Brother Leif, then I'll pick up the key points, I know that you are very likely to have added some information about love during this time... Phew, knowledge about solicitation and recruitment.

But you have to believe me, that kind of thing, it doesn't work at all, and believing in that and doing it exactly is equivalent to talking on paper. Listen to my brother here, don't be Zhao Kuo in love! ”

"It's solicitation." Leif said lightly.

"It doesn't matter what it is, but this kind of thing is the same as fighting, you can't just read the military book, you have to combine it with the actual situation."

With that, he placed the glass on the table and pointed at himself proudly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but I, but I've been in love with the war, and I've survived and won under artillery fire! I'm not as good as you else, but you're not as good as me in this experience! ”

Looking at the simplicity of his tongue that had begun to grow bigger, and had already revealed his drunken simplicity, Leif frowned slightly, however, he seemed to be disgusted with simplicity, but in fact, he remembered every word of simplicity in his heart.

Just because, what the other party said is indeed right.

The knowledge and experience of this piece are indeed inferior to him.

"First of all, your image is 8 too good."

"Wait a minute, what does it have to do with the image? And, what's wrong with my image? Leif immediately stopped, isn't his image much better than the man in front of him?

"Brother, don't get excited, you are indeed elegant and easy-going, you look very steady, and you are proficient in all kinds of social etiquette, and you act like a real gentleman, but do you know what this set is in the eyes of a little girl in modern society? It's stereotyped, it's antique, it's outdated, it's low, it's not understanding popular elements! ”

Seeing that Leif intended to argue, Jian Jian didn't give him a chance to speak, waved his hand, and continued: "Don't be in a hurry to interrupt me first, I know what you have to say, although Matthew is a test-tube baby, she has stayed in the sterile room since she was a child, and has never been in contact with the outside world, but you have to understand that she usually comes into contact with modern people the most, and even the underlying genes and DNA that control her behavior are all modern people in the final analysis, so, tell me, is her aesthetic a little more ancient, or a little more modern?" ”

Leif didn't speak, but fell into thought.

The main thing is to admit that what the other party said makes sense.

After about half a minute, Leif raised his head and was about to open his mouth to say something, but was interrupted again briefly.

"Needless to say! I know! It's impossible to make you a handsome guy like me who is popular with girls, after all, there is no way to go back to the furnace and rebuild, but it's not difficult to change your image a little and make you popular with women, I just don't know if Brother Leif you believe me or not. ”

In this regard, Leif said with a disgruntled face: It's just nonsense! However, for the sake of having a little merit in this peculiar point, I listened to it with great compassion!

"That's nonsense!"

After listening to the head-to-toe image transformation plan designed by Jian Jian for himself, Leif couldn't hide his indignation, saying that he shouldn't have come to this kind of place today, it was a waste of time!

Looking at Leif who was blushing, got up angrily, threw off his sleeves and left, and couldn't stop scolding in his mouth, he was relieved.

Let Leif Ansheng (entangled) for one night, relax the plan for the supervision of those emperors, so far more than half of it has been successful, and the rest is to go back to his room and wait......

Originally, Jian Jian didn't have any idea about the emperors summoned by Leif and the emperors who were imposed, and he never thought of cooperating with these emperors to stage an infernal affairs or anything.

Even if he sensed that the Divine Ancestor had gradually realized something, he even faintly had the intention of pressing all the treasures on himself.

It's just that it's almost useless to myself.

Let's not talk about whether this group of reckless men can successfully backstab Leif, even if they really succeed, in this process, they are very likely to push themselves to the opposite side of Leif and Renli, so in the peculiarity of the future, there is a high probability that he and the new Chaldea will be targeted by Leif.

…… Until the advent of Octavian.

This existent who has played tricks, routines, and mental tricks to the point of being superb, if he can stand on his side, his safety at the peculiar point of the situation that is temporarily unknown will have more guarantees.

In the depths of the palace, just returned, the wine-scented simplicity was tightly bound by the little eggplant.

"Master, great work!"

"If only I could help somewhat."

"Matthew Gilerlet wants to help Master!"

"Help more, more, more, more!"

"I want to help Master all the time!"

Facing the crimson face and the great change in temperament, holding himself tightly, rubbing it around on his chest, and refusing to let go, Matthew easily realized something.

Yes, this is the smell of alcohol on my body, and I got drunk.

The simplicity of the powerless to complain about this, seeing that he can't break free, can only use his own gentle means.

"Thank you Matthew, then, but for now, I have a favor that I need your help with."

"What is it?" Matthew looked up.

"Let me go first, my ribs are about to break."

……

After sending Matthew, who had not drunk but was still drunk, back to his room and settling down, he returned to his room.

"Hey~ I'm about to become a parent..."

Sighing slightly, he simply sat down at the table, picked up the cup and poured a few large mouthfuls of water, then raised his head, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

"Bayi, you're nearby, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bayi was disembodied and appeared in the room.

"What?"

"It's not your job, but can you help me find a pretty girl? I want the prettiest one in town. ”

As he spoke, he took out a bag of gold from under the table.

"The rest is yours, and besides, don't persecute people."

Faced with such a large bag of gold, Bayi suddenly showed a tangled face.

"Don't worry, it's safe here, even if you're not there for a while, and don't worry, I won't tell Leif that you left your post without permission, as for Matthew, she's already asleep."

After thinking about it again and again, Bayi responded and took the gold.

It's just that before leaving, don't forget to tell Jian Qian to not leave the room casually.

Sometimes, protection and surveillance are the same thing.

It was easy to predict this, and only after taking Bayi away and making sure that the other party had really left, did he sit down again.

"Come out, there's nothing else here..."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt something, and when he looked down, it was the cute beast Fufu who jumped on his lap.

“… people. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger appeared out of thin air and pressed against the simple throat, and at the same time, a golden sword inlaid with various gems pointed at the dagger's owner.

When he raised his eyes briefly, when he saw that it was not only Octavian who appeared, but also a woman, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and it was replaced by a clear cloud as he had predicted.

"I suggest you all calm down."

"What is there to say, the initiator and culprit of this peculiarity!"

Jing Ke, who was here for some reason, said coldly, if it weren't for Octavian's sword, I am afraid that he would have cut his simple throat a long time ago.

"Ahh He sighed simply, then raised his head and looked straight at Jing Ke.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm the director of the future New Chaldean, easy. It doesn't matter if you don't know the Chaldeans, just know that the predecessor of the new Chaldea is the human security agency: the Phoenix Chaldeans......"
