In the dark room, there was no light.

The smell of rotten wood fills the air, making it unpleasant to smell.

Gloya had been here for a while, and he sat in the small chamber, the head of the only long table, quietly looking at the sealed iron door.

"Click, click......"

A series of dense and tight footsteps, from far to near, finally stopped, very close to the iron door of the secret room.

"Greeter, are you in there?"

A cautious, old voice sounded outside the iron gate.

"Please come in, Elder Markus. ”

After receiving a reply from Glia, the iron door was gently pushed open.

Darkness does not cause Gloya to lose his sight, on the contrary, he is very fond of watching his prey in the dark as it looks panicked.

In Glia's vision, the leader was an old man wearing a short-sleeved tunic with purple stripes, and his steps were unusually fast. His face was aged and wrinkled.

But the smile of a philistine on his face all the time, and the peculiar attachment to possessions, make people think that he is mercenary at first sight.

Marcus Calpurnius Biblus, a conservative member of the Roman Senate, is also known as one of the representatives of the noble faction, his obsession with gold coins, his contempt for the commoners, and his denial of imperial power have made him have considerable connections among the conservatives of the Senate.

(Note: Marcus Calpurnius Biblus was a figure at the end of the Roman Republic, but for plot reasons, he was included as one of the main members of the conservative wing during the imperial period)

And the reason why Marcus was chosen by himself in the mixed Senate was probably that as long as he took the gold coin, he was bound to deal with the things that his employer told him.

Then, the remaining few people should be the ones who confessed to him and let him bring them...... Gloya's gaze skimmed over Marcus to the three men behind him.

The three men were a young nobleman who seemed to care nothing about his surroundings, a middle-aged warrior in regular clothes who was always vigilant around him and the darkness in front of him, and the last mysterious man who was covered in a pitch-black cloak that made it difficult to see.

Geria frowned at the sight of the last man, as he realized that the cloak he was wearing was a magical piece of equipment that could isolate his senses.

"Oh, my dear friend, Duke Golia, I have brought in a few guests, but ...... Before we begin the talks, could you take us to a brighter place...... "There was darkness in front of him, and Marcus instinctively shuddered, and he remembered some legends about Gloa......

"Hehehe...... Don't bother...... Everybody, please come in. Gloya stood up and snapped her fingers lightly, and in an instant, the three magic lamps fixed to the walls of the chamber except for the main door were lit.

In the gentle glow of the magic lamp, Marcus walked in with the three guests who had come with him.

"Venerable Grand Duke, you are so rich that you actually used the Heathera Crystal worth ten thousand gold as the source of the magic lamp. Marcus looked in admiration at the magic lamp closest to him, and wished to have them all, but reason told him that he could not do so.

The Grand Duke of the Sea was generous, and he made the emperors of Rome jealous of the gifts he gave to others. But in the same way, having amassed a wealth that almost rivals that of a country, the Grand Duke of the Sea, Glia, is also ruthless.

"It's nothing, Marcus, my friend. Gloya shook her head, smiled and continued, "If you don't mind, I hope to take with you the gifts I gave you, and those other friends who are far away in Rome, before you leave. ”

"Oh, may the gods forgive me! Your image in my mind is so great, like an unattainable temple of the gods...... "Marcus' eyes lit up when he heard this, and then his words of praise came out of his mouth.

Finally, under the displeased gaze of the middle-aged warrior, Marcus stopped, knowing that he was just a guide and should not linger here.

So with a slight smile that could not be finished, he said goodbye to everyone before leaving the secret room.

"Excuse me, Duke Glia, can we begin?" the young nobleman pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, his chin in his hands, and looked at Glia playfully.

Gloya smiled back at the young nobleman, and in between eye contacts, they looked at each other.

In Golia's eyes, the young man was a pure Germanic man, with blond hair and blue eyes, and handsome and well-defined features. Dressed in a snow-white aristocratic dress with a golden tulip medallion hanging from it.

Baron de Smirton, the third prince of the kingdom of Smirton, the second most powerful kingdom in the Kingdom League, and at the same time, this seemingly harmless young man is also the second in line to the throne, why is he the second in line to the throne? Because he killed one of his elder brothers......

In the Kingdom of Smirton, Baron had an army loyal to him, and he also had some supporters in the kingdom's court. If it weren't for the size of the Kingdom of Smithton, this young man wouldn't have been limited to this.

Baron came to the Roman Empire as a peace emissary. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the decline of imperial power is only a matter of time, and it is necessary for Grea to plan the future path for his family......

So, he promised Marcus a lot of money, and asked him to bring Baron with him, in exchange for the internal information of the Kingdom Alliance, combined with the information he received from his friends in the Senate, to plan a feasible plan......

It's just that Glia didn't expect that Marcus was not the only one who brought Baron...... Or rather, Baron, who brought the other two!

"Well, of course. But before that, these two are?" Gloya nodded at Baron, then looked at the warrior-looking middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and the mysterious man who remained unidentified throughout.

"These two, as you wish, my lord. Baron introduced Gloya very gentlemanly, he first looked at the arrogant middle-aged warrior, and introduced: "This is a faithful believer of the Holy See, the chief knight of Palch, and I believe you should know something about his deeds. ”

"Hmm, the Holy See, so the Kingdom of Smirton has completely fallen to the Holy See?" said Gloria, thinking thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, which made Palci's face stiffen a little. So, Gloa shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, "Did I say something wrong? ”

"The Kingdom of Smirton is still on the side of the Kingdom Alliance, Grand Duke. Balon looked at Gloa seriously, and then, with a meaningful smile, said, "Of course, this is only temporary, as long as I become the king of the Kingdom of Smirton." Then, what you are talking about will be the reality. ”

"But you're still just one of your father's children, and the least welcomed, aren't you?"

"There's no way around it, after all, I murdered my brother. ”

"Just to get the favor of the Pope?"

"No, it's the favor of the Lord. ”

Looking at Balon, who had a serious face, Gloa suddenly smiled and said to the other two, "Please take a seat, two." I've asked Baron to come here for a very simple purpose, I just want to know something about the Kingdom League...... But I didn't expect that the Holy See was involved...... Even a chief cathar came over in person...... I think, Baron, you and the people behind you have already guessed my reaction, or rather, you are just a guide, and it is obvious that you are talking to me......"

Gloya suddenly turned her gaze to the mysterious man who had been silent, staring at him coldly.

"Don't be so nervous, Grand Duke Grea. Surprisingly, the voice of this mysterious man was unusually crisp, as if it ...... It's a woman.

When Geria heard this voice, he was slightly stunned, he always felt that he had heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

When the mysterious man saw Glia's uncertain face, he unhurriedly removed his hood.

A Roman woman with long flaxen hair, excellent appearance, and affinity appeared in front of Glia, who did not let her guard down because of the woman's appearance, but after a long time, she asked in an unusually heavy tone: "Fiona?"

That's right, this woman is his old acquaintance.

Fiona, Roman Emperor and one of Caligula's many children, may not be the most outstanding, but she is definitely the most exceptional!

As a girl, she advocated for faith in the Lord, and even joined her brother Brutus in proposing to Caligula that the Roman Empire should abandon its belief in the Old Gods.

This is ridiculous......

And this royal daughter, who has been known for her intelligence since childhood, gradually disappeared from the public eye because of the condemnation of the Senate and the indifference of her father.

In the years that followed, the Holy See did not forget the royal family who bravely stood up for them, and after a humble baptism, Pope Peseni declared Fiona the fourth saint of the Holy See, and Fiona actually accepted!

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Emperor, and soon, Caligula, known for his brutality, married his daughter, Fiona, to the most hostile race of the Holy See, a young man of the Holy Race.

What was the name of that young man of the Holy Clan?Gloya forgot, but as he looked at the girl in front of him, the fear in his heart deepened......

"What are you here for?"

"For a deal, my lord ......"
