On October 12, the seriously ill Emperor Claudius, perhaps with a last breath of life, wanted to invite Novia to the palace to discuss the next steps. Ahem, after a month, this book is finally going to be on the shelves. Speaking of which, the performance of this book was not very good in the early stage. I remember on the first Monday after the trial, I went to ask the editor, and there were only a little over 400 followers. I thought there was no hope of advancement. The more I read, the more I felt that my writing was terrible. But then, thanks to the likes of readers, the number of collections gradually increased to second place, and it was successfully advanced. On the second Monday, my follow-up reading score increased by more than a thousand. On the third Monday, which was this Monday, I asked and it was more than three thousand two hundred. Although it is an average result in MAO, it is still very good for me. Let me talk about the subsequent plot arrangement. The story of Rome should end in 200,000 words. As for how the protagonist becomes the "Holy Spirit" in the Trinity, it should be inferred from the introduction... Currently, the Christian propaganda in the book is still the Trinity) As for Beast Nero, he will not be born before the protagonist dies. I also think Beast Nero with the Albion Dragon is very cool (Nero with soil ) As for the modern times, in Romania, there will naturally be the root princess who is close to the emperor. After that, it will be a choice between the Huns and Japan's timeline. The female protagonists of the Huns include Attila, Crinhild (a non-married woman), and finally the choice between Amor (Roman god of love) and Heiji. In Japan, the heroines are Amaterasu and Yaki.
But in the final analysis, I still like the twisted and bloody taste! Having said so much, please give me the first order! This is really important to me! I think I will never forget this request in my life, and I will really do everything. Twin 052: The first Christian Roman emperor The cold wind was howling, and for the first time in Rome, this day felt so cold and desolate. "Lord Novia, Her Majesty the Queen has ordered—" "Bruce, who allowed you to lead the guards into the palace without permission?" Novia's eyes fell on the Roman Guards stationed at the gate of the palace, and then he asked Bruce, the leader of the Guards. Generally speaking, the Roman Guards were usually stationed in the suburbs outside the city of Rome and could only be commanded by the emperor. However, Claudius was seriously ill at the moment, so it was impossible for him to call them. Moreover, the previous emperor Caligula was assassinated by the Praetorian Guards. However, Novia knew very well who asked Bruce to come. It was naturally the current Queen Agrippina who had reached a physical transaction with him long ago and was waiting for the person she designated to become the next emperor of Rome after Claudius' death. After all, Agrippina would only let her child Nero become emperor, which was consistent with Novia's idea. It seemed that all she had to do was obey this order and wait. However, Novia did not feel the need to back down, nor did he feel the need to save face for the other party. "Bruce, I already know about your affair with Agrippina." Novia had a serious expression on his face. He walked past the man and went straight to the room where Emperor Claudius was inside the palace. None of the guards in the palace dared to step forward to stop him, because in their eyes, Novia was a living messenger of God. Although they were guards who put profit above all else, they had no intention of handing over their lives and property. There is no doubt that Augustus established the Praetorian Guard and awarded it three times the reward of ordinary soldiers in order to prevent the recurrence of Caesar's assassination, but the decadent life had turned this army into the "vanguard of slaughtering emperors." Take the original history for example. In 69 AD, Galba, one of the four emperors, aroused dissatisfaction in his efforts to rectify military discipline. He was killed by the guards in just half a year. The most despicable thing was the emperor auction that took place in 193 AD, which was unique in human history. After the emperor once again attempted to "exploit" him, the guards killed him as usual, and then auctioned the throne publicly as a means of profit.
"Novia..." The 64-year-old Emperor Claudius seemed to have woken up from a dream, and was muttering something in a hoarse voice. In the quiet room, he looked at Novia beside the bed, as if he was looking at a long-lost friend, with a solemn expression on his old face. His blue eyes like the sea and his silver hair like snow fit people's imagination of God's messenger. Although he is only twenty-one years old, he is already quite calm and composed. The aura he exudes makes people want to get close to him and talk to him. The room where Claudius was alone was originally as quiet as if a funeral was being held, but because Novia slowly opened the door, natural sounds entered the room. The sound of birds singing and flowers swaying in the wind. "Yes, sir, I am here, if you please." Novia held the old man's hand without showing any impatience. This old man had been discriminated against and insulted since birth because of congenital polio, even after he became emperor. But it is undeniable that he contributed to the stability of the ancient Roman Empire. Also, he has always been very good to Novia. Although there are plans to gain benefits from this, without Claudius' support, Novia may not be able to reach this point today. "...Octavia, Britannicus..." Claudius called his child's name with worry in his eyes. "Your Majesty, please don't worry, I'm still here, I'm their teacher." Novia seemed to understand his concerns and softened her tone, but what Claude said next startled him slightly. "Please baptize me... Please..." Claudius accepted Novia's gaze indifferently, and his soft voice was like falling snowflakes, "Wait a moment, help me out... I want to announce... the thing you have always wanted..." Claudius's meaning was very clear. In exchange, he would drag his seriously ill body to be baptized as a Christian by Novia, and declare that from now on Christianity would be the state religion of the Roman Empire. And "please" was a plea, because Claudius knew that even if he didn't do it, Nero, who was most likely to become the next emperor, would announce it. But the reason why Claudius understood this and was so humble was that even if Novia seriously said that she would protect his children after his death, for him who was born in the Roman court, empty support was too unreal, and he still had to give something in exchange. From this point of view, the old emperor and Nero were people of the same mentality. "Your Majesty, do you remember what you said when we first met? 'Don't look at the moon, it's not a friendly thing.'" Novia nodded and smiled, "I always remember it and I am grateful for it." Claudius hated the moon because his nephew Caligula went mad by gazing at it. However, Novia knew very well that the real reason why Caligula went crazy in the Type-Moon world was because he saw the Roman moon goddess Diana, also known as the Greek moon goddess Artemis, or more accurately, the gradually decaying main gun of the machine that was still hanging outside the planet in this era. The Greek gods in the Type-Moon world are extreme gods from alien planets. Their real bodies were destroyed when the planetary soldiers invaded the earth, leaving only the personified bodies of the gods. However, the destruction is not irreparable, and the Greek gods used human faith to repair it, but unfortunately they did not succeed until the death of the Age of Gods. Therefore, there are the wreckage of Ares that drifted to Japan, and there are also the Luna that fell to Japan at some point... Even when Claudius was in good health, he could not understand what Novia meant, but the old man knew from the nod of the silver-haired boy that his opinion was accepted. "Then...Buyeo should go out..." On October 12, 54 AD, the Roman Emperor Claudius I announced: The Roman emperor no longer served as the high priest of the Roman temple and forbade his subjects to offer sacrifices to the Roman temple.
Then he issued an order to ban all religious activities except Christianity, and all subjects of the Roman Empire must "obey the faith handed over to the Romans by Noviya" and "close all places of pagan activities." This order made Christianity the only legal religion in the Roman Empire, and Christianity thus officially became the state religion of the Roman Empire. On October 13 of the same year, Claudius was baptized by Noviyal and officially became a Christian, becoming the first Christian emperor of the Roman Empire. In the evening of the same day, the baptized Emperor Claudius died after returning to the Roman palace. Subsequently, the seventeen-year-old Nero successfully became the fifth emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty under undisputed circumstances. 053: The day of Nero's coronation Pantheon It doesn't need to be called the Pantheon now, because only the Christian symbols remain in it, nothing else. Because in the Roman Empire at that time, the only legal religion was Christianity, and all others were paganism. At this moment, Novia was going to perform Christ's blessing for Nero who was holding his coronation ceremony. Although Nero meant to build a new one directly, he really had no time, so he could only use this place for the time being. For this purpose, flowers and seasonal decorations of all seasons were arranged here early. The overall style is white. From the windows, one can see people participating in the ceremony in Rome. After all, this is the last place, and Novia has to wait slowly for Nero's arrival. "That human is so proud of himself, he looks so superior." Albion, who had transformed into a girl, propped up her chin and looked out the window, pouting with dissatisfaction and saying that she basically only came out when she was alone with Novia, and would run back if there were outsiders. "This is a big day for Nero, so it's normal for him to be happy." "Hey, did I give you permission to say the name of your apprentice without my consent?" The silver-haired girl turned her head towards Novia, then returned her gaze to the window. ".....When did we make such an agreement between the two of us?" "No, I was just thinking that I shouldn't have thought of you as just a weak human magus. I should have killed you and eaten you directly—" Albion turned his head again, looking at Novia from top to bottom meaningfully, with a hint of blood in his eyes. "How about you change the way you talk to me? Otherwise, it always feels a little weird to me." As Novia approached Albion, he bent down and looked into the dragon girl's eyes. The human's face was too close, but Albion didn't flinch, his bright golden eyes staring straight back. Novia pointed his finger menacingly at the spot between the golden eyes. "...What was that just now? Seriously, it makes me even angrier for some reason." Just being poked by a finger, Albion felt an indescribable embarrassment in her heart again. When she thought of the blonde human below who was walking up alone, and that these two guys would be alone again later, and she could only watch from the side, the silver-haired girl became more and more angry. So before Novia could say anything, Albion jumped up, tilted his head slightly, buried his face in the young man's neck, bit him several times with his fangs, but only lightly, and then said, "I don't want to see her when that guy comes, it's disgusting to death." Then he disappeared. Being bitten by Albion was a daily routine for Novia. She would bite Novia every time she was in a bad mood, but unlike the initial bite, there was no biting of flesh and spurting of blood. Now it was more like a caress. Novia glanced outside the Pantheon and saw Nero, a girl in red dressed in emperor's attire, walking up the steps step by step. This was the last item of the coronation ceremony.
In the ancient Roman Empire, the coronation ceremony would usually involve the new emperor conducting a military parade with his troops to demonstrate his strong military power and the support of the army. After obtaining the approval of the Senate and the army, he issued a declaration of accession to the throne, outlining his ruling philosophy and goals. This was accompanied by large-scale celebrations, including banquets, athletic competitions, and the distribution of bounties, which were intended to demonstrate the emperor's generosity and power and to win the support and loyalty of the people. Finally, they would go to the temple to offer sacrifices in exchange for blessings. At this time, Christianity has become the state religion of Rome. Then Emperor Nero would naturally come here to Novia to receive God's blessing. But Novia didn't see Nero holding anything like a crown, scepter or cloak, symbols of power and rule. These things would usually be taken out by the new emperor to demonstrate his ruling power. Now Nero was holding the "Original Fire" that Novia had given him. But this is actually not a big problem, because it is just an unwritten rule and it is normal not to use it. Then Novia sat in the "Eye of the Dome" of the Pantheon and waited quietly for Nero's arrival. The midday sun shone just at the entrance of the arch. When Nero stepped into the temple at this moment, the dazzling sunlight focused squarely on her, attracting everyone's attention. Novia didn't think much about this at first. It was Nero who said that this was the best way and more in line with the artistic sense, so Novia just followed her. "Teacher, because of something, could you please close your eyes for a moment?" "Ah." The blonde girl's voice came from behind the archway, and Novia closed her eyes as she wished. "Mmm, teacher, you can open your eyes now." About ten seconds later, Nero's voice sounded again. During this time, Novia sensed the breath of magic, probably Nero was using some magic. What appeared before Novia's eyes was the dazzling sunlight shining through the archway. Her golden hair swayed gently under the white hat, and above it was a golden laurel wreath. On her fair face, her emerald green eyes sparkled like a sparkling ice lake. The girl's boots landed on the ground with a clang, and she moved closer to him step by step. "Well, well, I spent a long time thinking about this costume. I'm only showing it to you, teacher. And because you like white, I only used white." Every time the blonde girl smiled and said something, the rose earrings on her ears would swing. "very good." "Really?" "real." "Really?" "Yes, I do, without a doubt." "No, just a compliment is not good enough. I want a reward, a reward, a very, very good reward, otherwise I will be angry." After saying this, Nero, who had already come in front of Novia, puffed up his cheeks and pouted his lips as if he was upset. "Nero, you are already the emperor——"
"I don't care about the emperor, I just want the reward." Nero stood on tiptoe, put his hands on Novia's shoulders, and stared at Novia with eyes like flames.
