Chapter 861 Ancient City-State

No.

Rome.

It was briefly mentioned at the beginning of the last trip, but this time it was finally its turn to appear on the stage.

It has existed as early as more than 700 BC. It has spanned a long time in the long river of time and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Who can count all the glory of this city?

From the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, it spanned the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa, and dominated the entire Mediterranean at that time. The names of that period were Caesar and the Senate, Octavian Augustus, and the later Emperor Nicton, who was famous for his cruelty. Lu.

The rise of religion in the Middle Ages and the independence of kingdoms in modern times,

The Flavian Amphitheater, the Colosseum, the Circus, the Pantheon, countless churches and monasteries...

The ancient buildings that have accumulated human history to this day are 40% of the entire Roman city area.

Night dawns, dawn breaks in the sky,

The moment the world begins to light up,

The retro-colored urban area of ​​Rome is slightly illuminated to welcome a new day.

Rome city center, railway tracks outside Termini station,

Before that cross-country train stopped, I used the power of magical coordinates to jump out of the channel of reality again, and with the help of the last remaining darkness before dawn,

Fangran and Ao Feiya took Tang Bing and Kerim and flew towards the city at high speed in the hazy night sky.

Finally we landed in a manor with a large green lawn.

Arriving directly from the open-air balcony to the living room on the second floor of the villa, Ophia rang the bell and called a gentle old man to explain a few words, and then looked at Tang Bing and Kerim, who were still at a loss:

"You can rest here as you please. If you need anything, just speak to the housekeeper directly in English."

And Tang Bing, who had fallen asleep shortly after getting on the train, had no idea that Fangran and Ophia had experienced another crisis at night, and was suddenly awakened to experience flying again.

He stared blankly at the green plants in the garden outside the balcony, as well as the aristocratic-style interior and the old housekeeper in a neat suit, and asked in a daze:

"Is this some kind of attraction?"

"This is a place in my family,

So you don't have to worry about safety issues. "

ah? your home! ?

Hearing such an answer, he was stunned. Tang Bing only realized that Ophia was such a noble lady and looked at her. Fangran blinked with an irresponsible look on his face:

"Anyway, it's a rare opportunity. Wouldn't it be nice for Hulu to experience the life of a nobleman for a little bit? Remember to call me if anything happens."

Then he looked to the side, a young man who always looked a little pale as he was busy studying and working.

"Krim, you too, don't stress yourself, take this opportunity to relax,"

Hearing Fangran say this, Krim was slightly startled, and then saw his assurance with a chuckle to him:

"Don't worry, it should be over soon."

However, even though he saw the slight smile on his face as if it was nothing serious, the attentive Krim still noticed that both Fangran and Oofia had a faint sense of urgency in their subtle movements.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, Krim only showed a gentle smile and nodded gently to the two of them:

"Well, Fangran, you should be careful next time."

After settling the two people's positions in this way, after smiling and waving to them, Fangran followed Ophia and jumped from the balcony to the roof of the villa building.

It was still dark, and the already fading night cast a layer of hazy light and shadow on their figures.

The look on Tang Bing and Kerim's face disappeared, and the eyes reflecting on the villa and manor became quiet. Fangran looked at the figure beside him and suddenly laughed softly:

"After all, you are the one who is pursued by the highest level."

When she heard him mention the description she had given of Melandor, she was silent for a second before Osphia turned her gaze away slightly and answered.

"Don't talk about such boring topics."

Then the short chat time ended,

Fangran and Osphia both jumped to the top roof. The figure with majestic and gorgeous platinum hair was floating around. Le Guin's figure had already been standing here,

Looking at this manor, which was actually her former residence, a hundred years have passed, and there are no familiar faces anymore, only the scenery is vaguely familiar.

"I didn't expect that the association's arrangements in reality were larger than expected and involved more than one city. No wonder they want the royal court to fall."

Seeing the two figures coming back, he put away his nostalgia across time. He had learned about nodes, engines and other things before. Le Guin looked calm and serious and spoke:

"The last message Your Excellency Apocalypse sent me was that their operations in the dark world are coming to an end, and they will indeed be in line with reality soon,"

"But even they are not crazy enough to start the 'experiment' before nightfall. According to the worst-case scenario, we still have a daytime period."

A map projection device appeared in his hand, with possible target points marked on it. Le Guin handed it to Osphia along with a communicator.

"These are all the possible ritual locations of the association that I have investigated before. Contact me immediately after you confirm the abnormality, and I will arrive as soon as possible."

Taking out the unblocking device given to him by his mentor, Fangran's black hair was blown by the wind in the light night. He looked at the countdown that showed 17:11:25 until the end of the space model calculation and spoke:

"Then as long as the blockade of the national war is lifted, the combat power of everyone in the scene will be enough to suppress any plan of Rome."

With a slight nod, Le Guin turned in one direction, and the cold blue flames ignited around her, turning into a blue and magnificent fantasy beast and horse.

"I will restrain the adjutant of the association. All the Holy See knights affiliated with the royal court have been dispatched. There are currently no other participants in this city, so you don't have to worry about investigation methods."

"Then ancestors, why not let..."

And seeing her summoning Garon, thinking that only Le Guin's ability could interfere with the association plan, and thinking that she was prepared with the White Wings, Osphia clenched her hands slightly and wanted to share her burden.

"She's very capable, but it's not something you can handle."

Looking at the junior who always wanted to share the burden for him, Le Guin looked at Osphia and smiled softly,

Then the figure grabbed the reins and left in the fading night.

"Then let's get ready to go."

Watching her figure disappear, Fangran glanced at the sky that was about to dawn, and turned to Ophia's mouth.

And she knew in her heart how terrifying the figure holding the flute was, which instantly made her lose the power to resist. Osphia shook her head, her blue eyes clear and determined that she would do what she could do well.

"Well, let's go to the one closest to here first."

Seeing that she had regained her composure, Fangran smiled lightly and turned around in the morning breeze.

"Are we going to start?"

Then from the slightly higher hillside where the manor is located, looking at Rome which is gradually becoming clearer in the sunlight, his eyes are gradually brightened and he softly speaks with some expectancy:

"If possible, I really hope to come to this city in another way."

Looking at his side face at this moment, I felt a little lost. With Morrowind's blond hair flying, Osphia's snow-white and delicate face was slightly silent, and then she spoke in a low and complicated voice:

"You actually don't have to get involved."

Fangran's eyes were slightly startled, and he looked at Ophia beside him unexpectedly, and saw her raising her blue eyes to face him,

Thinking back to the time when they first met her, the relationship between the two was still very distant and estranged, and it always felt like something was already strange.

"I know."

So Fangran finally answered with a calm smile.

He knew this from that night in London.

Ever since he woke up from the collapse of the station, only this time was different. Only this time, no one was in real danger and he needed to desperately save him.

When Shui Linlang sent someone to pick him up, he could actually have returned to China and waited for the incident to be resolved.

only...

"It's just... Osphia,"

The sun completely rises from the horizon at this moment...

“I really wanted to do what I wanted to do for once.”

The moment the black-haired young man's confident chuckle was frozen by the warmth, Osphia breathed lightly and looked at him in trance.

"And this time, I can feel it,"

You can overlook the whole of Rome, located at the highest point of the manor villa on the hillside.

Without the strength, he really stepped into the world of night war as a participant. He looked at this ancient city that had become glorious over the years, and his eyes seriously expressed the intuition in that dream.

"If there's anything important to me, it's waiting for me ahead."

(Vicissitudes of life) When I was at my worst, the website actually gave me a recommendation. This is a huge challenge for me, who is so stuck that I can’t guarantee that I can write every day during this period. (I cover my face and cry with laughter.)
