"Just like you and the Kingdom Alliance, the damned Holy See, and my most faithful friend, Gloria, right?"

In the face of Caligula's questioning, Richard just shook his head indifferently, and then said with a smile: "You are not safe in this place, please come with me and go to the refuge of our Holy Clan." ”

Caligula gave Richard a deep look, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to five days ago.

Five days earlier, the senators had blamed Caligula alone for all the blame of those days, and had created a fire in the city of Rome, claiming that it was Caligula's conspiracy.

And in front of the Romans, who were almost carried away by anger, they spoke as if they were the one who was right.

Determined that Caligula would not be able to win the power struggle, the Praetorian Guard and his shadow hunters betrayed Caligula and placed him under house arrest in the palace - they wanted to sacrifice themselves for additional gain.

As a result, Caligula also lost the source of information from the outside world, which may be the most terrifying thing for a superior person.

But at dawn, when he had just felt a little sleepy due to severe insomnia, he suddenly heard a few muffled noises outside the door, and then the double door that had been locked and usually only opened for meals was pushed open.

Before he could see how the guards were, Caligula was knocked unconscious by two black-robed men.

It's not that Caligula didn't want to resist, but as an emperor, he really neglected to attach importance to martial arts......

When he awoke, Caligula found himself in the Senate chamber. In the whole city of Rome, except for the house of the mastermind of this riot, only the place that the patriarchs valued the most, was not destroyed......

However, staying here, waiting for oneself, there is only death.

So, Caligula nodded firmly and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

"You will not regret your decision, Your Majesty. Richard smiled and snapped his fingers, and in the east and west corners of the chamber, two men in black robes walked over.

"Meet them, they're the two warriors who infiltrated the palace and rescued you from the Praetorian Guard...... Ink Shadow, Kiwibe Chiyo. ”

"I don't think knocking me out is a rescue......"

He muttered a sentence, but through the flickering candles in the council chamber, Caligula couldn't help but look at the two who came out of the shadows, the "warriors" in Richard's mouth.

The first to come out was a young man of the Holy Clan who looked weak and a little shorter than himself, his hair was gray, and he looked lifeless. I don't know why, Caligula obviously saw his appearance, but in the blink of an eye, he found that he had forgotten......

However, before he could doubt it for long, his pupils shrank when he saw the one behind him.

It's a girl!

A girl who still looks very young, but it is obvious that when she becomes an adult, she will be a beautiful girl!

Of course, the maiden is very beautiful now, at least much better than the maids in the palace. But the beauty of the girl is not the delicate beauty, but the wild beauty like the mythical moon goddess Diana, who is the hunting goddess!

If it is seen by those lustful elders, even if the big interests are in front of them, they will definitely turn their faces to each other without hesitation, and then take this beauty into their pockets by any means!

Caligula was shocked not because of the girl's appearance, but because of the powerful aura that emanated from all over her body—she didn't look big, but she was already a god of war attendant!

"Let me introduce you to the one in front of you who is one of my followers, Ink Shadow. The ...... in the back Her name is Chiyo Hattori. ”

"Chiyo Hattori? a quirky name......"

Caligula shook his head, cautiously watching as he swept Hattori Chiyo with a grim gaze.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first, Your Majesty. ”

"Hmm...... Well, okay. ”

"So, please ...... here."

“...... What? Do you want to get out of there? You're crazy! That place is the entrance to the council chamber! The patriarchs who made this place their lifeline sent a whole legion to guard it before the riot began!"

"That's right, we'll go out there, Your Majesty...... Have you forgotten, that's where I came in......"

Richard smiled meaningfully at Caligula, then stepped forward alone, motioning for Ink Shadow and Hattori Chiyo to escort Caligula to the entrance, a giant steel door that usually required the strength of four people to push open.

Then, he pressed his hands on both sides of the giant door, took a deep breath, and then pushed hard!

With a heavy boom, the giant door was opened.

The cold air outside the council chamber rushed in, and Caligula shielded himself from the sudden daylight with his hands, but after seeing the scene outside, he fell into a momentary pause.

"Here...... Is it the city of Rome?"

"That's right, this is the city of Rome......"

"But ......"

"During your captivity, those mobs called Christians destroyed half of the city of Rome......

“......”

Caligula was silent, his eyes full of sadness.

In front of me, there is a ruin that has been reduced to ruins!

Caligula was inexplicably sad and indignant in his heart, this is the Romans' favorite Julius Square!

In addition to the statues of the Roman gods and the first emperor of the Roman Empire, Octavian, the original Julius Forum, there are also some entertainment facilities for people to play and a shallow pool for people to wash their dirt......

But now, here, it's a mess.

The road was destroyed, fragments of bricks were everywhere, and dirt beneath the ground that had been hidden for years was everywhere.

The idol was toppled down, and the Octavian stone fell to the ground crookedly, its body broken from the middle, its head facing down, but now it was strangely facing itself.

It seems to be telling itself, to give up, and let Rome perish......

Such a scene, in the past, he would never have imagined......

But now......

In the sky, the snowflakes were still falling persistently, and Caligula, who had never seen snow, watched the snow slowly cover Octavian's head......

Caligula rushed towards the stone statue like crazy, and Hattori Chiyo tried to intercept it, but was blocked by the ink shadow beside him.

So, there was a puzzled look in her eyes, seeing this, Mo Ying still remained silent, but after Richard noticed it, he sighed and said, "You still have a lot to learn, in the future, follow Mo Ying, see more, do less." ”

Hattori Chiyo nodded knowingly, and then really stood behind Mokage, who didn't feel uncomfortable at all, just glanced at her lightly, then clasped his hands and leaned against the supporting stone pillar outside the council hall, vigilantly surrounding.

Richard waved for the two to stay where they were, and walked towards Caligula, who was now very unfigured, sitting in front of the statue of Octavian and lost his soul.

When Richard came to Caligula's side, he saw that the latter had completely lost his alertness, and did not even notice his approach, still trying to lift the stone statue with his hands, which were a little red from the snow.

Richard spoke silently.

"The people in the Senate didn't care at all whether Rome was alive or dead...... They have always said that they want to restore the glory of the Roman Republic, but it is all for their own selfish desires...... As long as the Claudian dynasty is brought to an end, as long as they can avenge the senators who were killed by Octavian and Caesar's other two successors, they can do anything......"

"The riots in Rome were started by the most powerful senators...... They have waited too long for this day to turn their backs on their faith and throw themselves into the arms of the Protestant Church......"

"Fiona has been bewitched by the Neothephalism for a long time, and you don't want to dispose of her, and you don't dare to leave a fanatic of the Neothephism with you as if nothing happened, so you will easily let me take her...... And Breno ......"

At the mention of Breno, Caligula's movements stopped suddenly, and then an indescribable sadness appeared on his face......

"That's right, Breno...... My poor child...... Breno ......"

"I should have known earlier, I should not have sent him to Tuya Province, and let him use his ridiculous character to influence those ungrateful barbarians! Like me, he was betrayed by those around him...... He was inspired to come to Rome by the commoners he loved the most...... Then I was brought to me by a few Protestant mongrels......"

"That kid was brave and loyal...... Until the last moment, he did not give in to those people...... And I, I can only watch him being slashed by the New God Cult knight who came with him, swinging his sword......"

Caligula spoke bitterly, and finally, he looked up to find Richard looking at him with a solemn expression.

"What's the matter? Are you laughing at me? Now at this time, you have this expression on me......

"No, I didn't...... I want to tell you that Breno, like his sister and my wife, Fiona, was bewitched by the teachings of the Protestant Church......"

"No! it can't be! My child, Breno, he will never ......"

"It's true, Your Majesty. Although I had only heard about Brenaud from Fiona, he was a man of respect...... He was the first to propose that all races in the human race, including the Holy Race, should be treated equally...... The doctrine of the Neothean Church also contains some such words...... Yet I know that is hypocritical...... And Brenau, sincerely!"
