Chapter 1474 Hesiana Returns to Her Old Place
Gaius Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who left a great name in history, returned to his mansion, and the flowers and cheers in the squares and streets seemed to still surround him, making him smile. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. With the help of his attendants, he removed his decorative armor and sat on his favorite large chair to start thinking about something.
He was thinking about Roman rule—his own rule. He had just completed the final step in purging this great country. The two people who started the rebellion, Pompey's two sons, had been completely defeated by the Roman army. Caesar found that his rule over this country had reached a certain level. This is an unprecedented peak. There is no longer any triumvirate, and there is no need to set up any consuls to share power. He has become the de facto sole ruler of this country. So what kind of identity should this sole ruler have? Woolen cloth?
Caesar was thinking that he had no intention - or could not find an opportunity - to destroy Rome's long-standing parliamentary system, so he would not become an emperor. The most suitable position for him would still be consul of the Republic, but that would be the only one. Archon, maybe it should have a new name, like Dictator.
Caesar's thoughts wandered a little, and he seemed to have seen the Republic and his glorious future. He did not know the murder he was about to face, nor did he know that in just a few decades, the man he adopted named Octavian's adopted son will help Rome complete its transformation from a republic to an empire - he doesn't even know that Ragnarok is happening far away from the world and is ending the rule of the gods. He only knows that there seems to be an uninvited guest breaking in. His own room, but the guards waiting outside the room made no movement at all.
The window was closed, but a breeze suddenly swirled through the room. Caesar looked up in the direction of the curtains and found two men and two women standing there - these four mysterious uninvited guests were surrounded by a group of people. Under the hazy mist, only the outline of the figure could be roughly seen, but no details on the facial features could be distinguished. They suddenly appeared in the room, as if they had always been hidden behind the pillars.
Of course, there was no way there was anyone hiding in the room. Caesar had carefully confirmed it when he entered the room, and the hazy mist surrounding the two men and two women was enough to indicate something: they had powers beyond human understanding, or they were Either of gods or evil spirits.
In this era, the activities of gods are not far away from humans. Many kings and priests have at least two or three experiences with gods in their lives. Caesar is certainly no exception, so he quickly calmed down and kept to himself. As a human being, the greatest dignity that can be maintained at this moment is: "What do you want from me?"
He did not ask the names of the two men and women in front of him, who was from where, because according to common sense, it was meaningless to ask such questions to a guy with extraordinary power, and might even cause unnecessary disaster.
Hasselblad took a step forward: "Gaius Julius Caesar, we want to ask you some questions."
Caesar's eyes glanced to the side, as if he was looking for something that could be used as a weapon, but he did not hesitate: "Ask."
"Have you ever heard of a name - Vivian Ancesta," Hasselblad asked. "She is a member of the gods, but she should be traveling in your kingdom at the moment."
Caesar's eyes that were wandering around froze for an instant, and then he began to show a strange look on his face - there was a bit of anger and embarrassment in that look, but he tried hard to control his expression at the same time. Reveal it, so as not to lose your grace.
Hao Ren was hiding in the fog of magic. Looking at Caesar's expression, he knew what was going on: it seemed that Vivian had kicked the Lord into the moat once... Although it was quite unfair to Caesar, Hao Ren felt that it was unfair. This is good news, which means that the other party has already contacted Vivian.
It makes sense that Hao Ren chose to come to Caesar to inquire about the situation, because he had heard it before when chatting with Vivian, who had known Caesar during the Roman Republic and had dealt with him more than once - the reason why Caesar To be able to complete the foundation of the later Roman Empire and create a great cause that will go down in history, Vivian's help was even indispensable.
Although Vivian was wandering in the world at this time, suffering from the curse of poverty and unable to live a stable life, she still communicated with the locals every time she stayed in a place for a short time. When she was in Rome, she spoke as a prophet. He has acted as a witch, a witch, and a foreign god. Caesar, a Roman with keen eyesight and bold speculative spirit, noticed this strange "prophet and god" early on, and paid a high price to Vivian. Ask for help.
In the Gallic War, Vivian used the power of plague blood to help the Romans defeat their enemies, and allowed Caesar to penetrate all the way into the homeland of the Germans. After this war, the Greek gods uncharacteristically had no response. The fact that the Romans were seeking help from foreign gods made Caesar believe that he had found a powerful backer, and he even had the idea of building a temple of blood in the city of Rome.
But just like every "god", Vivian Ancesta also has an eccentric personality and is moody. Caesar still doesn't know where he offended that great god, but he was actually kicked into the moat by the other party...
And now, four more guys who didn't know whether they were gods or evil spirits appeared, calling for that Vivian Ancesta. This made Caesar even more uneasy. He frowned, and suddenly felt that he was being interfered with. Going among these "gods" is not a smart thing to do.
"You don't have to worry," Hao Ren deliberately waited for a while to let Caesar think a few more steps before speaking slowly, "We are her friends, you just need to tell us her whereabouts."
"She did stay in Rome," Caesar said cautiously, "but I couldn't find her except when she showed up on her own initiative - she was a god, and her whereabouts would not fall into the eyes of mortals. "
"You didn't tell the truth." Lily stood up and realized with her animal-like intuition that Caesar was indeed lying.
Caesar's face twitched, and he began to doubt whether the guys in front of him had the ability to detect lies, and then helplessly spread his hands: "I can't bear the anger of the gods - whether it's yours or hers."
"No one will vent their anger on you," Hasselblad's voice was full of wonderful magic, and a little subtle spiritual hint was poured into his voice, "On the contrary, Vivian Ancesta will be We appreciate you all the more for your help to us. Now tell us, where is Vivian?"
Caesar's expression was dazed for a moment, but then there were signs of regaining consciousness: Although he was just a human with no special powers, he had a will that surprised even the old demon hunters, and Hasselblad had to temporarily add spiritual suggestions. Only with the strength can Caesar's will be suppressed.
Caesar's eyes were blank, and he spoke as if he was dreaming: "In the northeast corner of Rome, in a neighborhood next to the city wall, she often appears there. If she wants to see you, she will definitely show up on her own initiative..."
Hasselblad withdrew his magic power: "Thank you for your cooperation."
A breeze blew by, and Caesar suddenly woke up. When he focused his sight again, he could no longer see anyone in front of him.
Looking at the empty room and seeing the exquisite gifts presented to Roman rulers from various places on the table not far away, he suddenly felt a sense of boredom.
"By the way, why didn't you let me appear just now?" On the way to the northeastern city, Hesiana glanced at Hao Ren a little unhappily, "I told that Caesar directly that I was looking for my mother, so there was no need for so many Nonsense."
"First, as far as I know, Vivian has not brought you to appear in front of Caesar, so Caesar doesn't know that there is a little oil bottle next to Vivian. You can only let him appear suddenly. It’s even more suspicious. Secondly, your words are too special to ruin the atmosphere. Is it easy for me to pretend to be cool?”
Hesiana thought for a moment, jumped up and bit Hao Ren: "Who are you calling a bastard?!"
Hao Ren fended off the sharp teeth of this naughty child king with ease: "At this time, what else can you be to Vivian than a dragster? A little bat that has just become a spirit and can sweep across all directions?"
The two of them did not deal with each other as usual, even though they had been teammates for a long time in this time and space retrospective journey. In this way, they found the neighborhood that Caesar mentioned: close to the city wall, there was a patchwork of buildings that looked more dilapidated than other places. Two of the houses even had signs of fire. Beyond the traces of smoke from the small-scale fire, some people were gathering around the two houses to talk about the fires in the kitchens of the two homes two days ago.
Hao Ren: "...Sometimes I really don't understand whether Vivian can only choose poor places to live, or whether the place she lived has become so poor."
Hesiana sighed: "It must be the second one - this place used to be quite prosperous."
Everyone: "..."
After entering the neighborhood, the task of finding the person fell on Hesiana and Lily - the former had a strong telepathy towards Vivian, and the latter had a shocking dog nose. At this point, Hao Ren was the best at everything. Can't even compare with them.
"How's it going? Did you feel the breath?" Although he often got angry when he quarreled with the little bat spirit, Hao Ren and Hesiana still talked well when doing business. "Did you think of anything else?"
"I haven't sensed the breath yet, but I did remember some bits and pieces..." Hesiana said in a nostalgic tone, raising her finger to point to a stone wall not far away, "I used to carve on it. Pass something..."
Lily was sniffing and sniffing here and there. After hearing Hesiana's words, she looked up and suddenly shouted: "Hey, little bat, there's really something on the wall over there!"
