Roman Slave Owner

Rejected by almost all the elders, he was often cursed by others when he walked on the street, which made his nerves almost collapse.

So he appeared less and less in public, and devoted a lot of time to the investigation.

Since Li Wei didn't let him go, he also vowed to disgust Li Wei to the end, and came here every day to watch them investigate the case.

Even if Li Wei attaches great importance to controlling the Senate, so what? He can take the judicial route and formally file a lawsuit with the Chief Justice.

At this moment, a slave of his family came in.

"Is there a problem?"

Sidious asked.

"Master, Metellus sent someone to look for him. I hope you can come to his house and say that he has something important to discuss."

said the slave.

"Okay, I know."

Said Sidious.

Recently, the Metellus family has also had a bad year. Napos deprived him of the position of elder a few days ago, and is facing a large number of lawsuits.

Without the protection of the elder status, those lawsuits could kill him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. This kind of emotion always occurs when an unlucky person sees that other people are even more unlucky.

Suppressing these emotions, Sidhigus left here and rushed towards Metellus.

Metellus' home is also located on the Palatine Hill, which is an extremely luxurious manor.

After the notification, Sidhigus walked in, and a young man came in.

The young man was tall and handsome, but with an unconcealable sadness on his face.

After seeing Sidhigus, his eyes lit up, and a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Sidigus, you are here, my grandfather is waiting for you inside."

"Okay, Scipio, are you going out?"

Sidious said with a smile.

This young man is the only descendant of the Scipio family. Metellus Scipio, who was recognized by the old Metellus as his grandson, has grown up now.

Since Sidiousus had fallen out with Levi, he had been the most warm to him in the Metellus family.

"Yes, there is something."

Metellus Scipio said, and left here.

Sidhigus continued to walk in, and it didn't take long before he heard the sound of arguing inside, and Napos' angry voice came from afar.

"Father, I don't understand why you want to do this? The court will be held in two days, and maybe I will be sentenced to death. Is it worth it for you and Li Wei to work so hard?"

"What do you know? I am the chief priest of Rome, so I naturally have to think about the interests of the temple. If the holy religion is not curbed, the whole of Rome will be destroyed by Li Wei."

"So you deserve my brother and I to suffer? I originally wanted to be a construction officer, but now you have ruined everything. Are you satisfied now?"

"Trust me, you will not be sentenced to death, the justice is my man."

"Do you think I'm an idiot? What's the use of the judge? This matter depends on the jury. Li Wei regained control of the Senate.

Add to that his fame among the people and among the knights, and I'm dead when the time comes. "

"Enough! Don't you think I'm not as famous as him?"

"..."

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Sidhigus stopped and decided to wait a while before going in.

It didn't take long before Napos rushed out angrily.

After seeing Sidhigus, he gave him a cold look, and left here without saying a word.

After walking in, he found Metellus sitting on a chair in a daze, his eyes full of hesitation and regret.

"Ahem..."

Sidious coughed twice, and Metellus woke up with a start.

"Baoqian, I made you laugh."

After seeing Sidigus, Metellus said apologetically.

"I'm so sorry to hear what you said just now."

Said Sidious.

"It's nothing, Napos has messed up because of his affairs."

Metellus said with a wry smile.

"Li Wei is really shameless, we must not give in, we must fight him to the end."

Sidhigus said that he saw regret in his eyes just now, at this time Metellus must not make peace with Li Wei, otherwise he will die.

"I understand that I will not make peace with him."

Metellus saw his little thoughts, but didn't point them out.

"What do you want me to do?"

Said Sidious.

"The divine metaphor has been invited."

Metellus said, but there was not much joy in his tone.

"Is there something wrong?"

Sidious asked.

"It's a good thing for you. According to the oracle, you are the beloved of Apollo, the sun god."

Metellus said indifferently that the Temple of Delphi has come face-to-face with the Holy Cult.

In fact, he was also surprised by the courage of the Delphi Temple. You must know that the name of the three giants in Rome has gradually spread, and Li Wei's reputation in the East is like a god.

But he was still a little disappointed, because this could not cause major damage to the Holy Church.

Sidhigus was ecstatic, and with the endorsement of the Delphi Temple, his situation would be much better.

"This is really great, when will the divine metaphor be announced."

"The envoy from Delphi will arrive in Rome tomorrow, preferably the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll hold a meeting of the Senate the day after tomorrow."

***

***

The arrival of the envoys from the Delphi Temple shocked everyone, and every time the envoys came to read the oracle.

Coupled with Li Wei's oracle a while ago, I don't know how many people have imaginations.

In Li Wei's home, the whole family is sitting at a round table having lunch.

A number of slaves served them with a meal, and delivered all kinds of exquisite food, but the cost of a meal was no less than two hundred dinars.

But Li Wei didn't care at all, isn't money just for spending?

Compared with Lucullus, who used to eat 15,000 dinars for a meal, he has saved a lot.

"Is Emilia not coming to eat?"

Levi asked.

"Madam said that she has no appetite today and doesn't really want to eat."

said a slave.

"Ask her if she wants to eat some sour food. If she wants to, ask the kitchen to make some for her. Now is the critical period of raising a baby. Pay attention to protecting your body."

Levi said.

"OK."

The slave left here immediately.

"Luchius, why do you have a scar on your neck? Did you fight with someone else?"

At this time, Li Wei found that little Li Wei kept his head down and said nothing. When he looked closely, he found a scar on his neck.

"What, you have a wound on your face, let me see it quickly."

Yulia said quickly, she took a look at Li Wei's face, and found that there was a scar on her neck, so she said in a panic: "What's going on, how did you get hurt?"

"Yes, but I have a reason. They said you were a corrupt criminal, so I fought with them."

Little Li Wei argued.

"Who did you fight with?"

Levi asked.

"Those from the Metellus family, Little Annius and the others also went up, and we didn't lose."

Little Li Wei looked proud.

Li Wei thought about it, but he didn't expect that this incident would affect his son.

"Good job, but it's wrong to fight without the right reasons, we shouldn't be bullying the weak."

Seeing that Li Wei didn't blame him, little Li Wei was relieved.

"Be sure to tell me next time you fight, you know?"

Yulia said to little Li Wei.

"Got it, Mom."

Little Li Wei didn't expect to pass the level so easily, so he said quickly.

"Sidigus and the others have been checking the army's account books, will they find anything?"

Momini asked worriedly, this matter involved her father, so she has been very concerned.

"I'm sure we can find something. After fighting for so long, it's normal for someone under his command to be greedy."

Li Wei said helplessly, and finally let him, the coach, take the blame.

"so what should I do now?"

"It's okay, the Senate won't pass it."

Levi said.

Although he said so, Sidhigus' behavior caused great trouble to his reputation.

"I heard that the Senate meeting was held again today. Is it about you?"

"It must be. I didn't expect them to invite all the priests from the Delphi Temple."

Li Wei said helplessly.

"What are they here for?"

"Read the oracle."

Li Wei said with a sneer.

"What if the divine metaphor is not good for you?"

Julia asked.

"Don't worry, the oracle won't be directly detrimental to a certain person. Everyone is a person of status and status. How can they let a temple in Greece dictate their own life and death. They are likely to come for the holy religion this time, but they are also nothing."

"The Holy Cult has taken root and sprouted in Rome. Even if we fail this time, we just need to wait quietly. Sooner or later, Rome will be in the pocket of the Holy Cult."

Li Wei said with great confidence.

No one understands the horror of the Holy Order better than him. This is a monster. As long as it takes root, it will be impossible to eradicate the Holy Order unless it implements an iron-blooded policy like Queen Isabella of Spain.

But with Rome's current system, this is simply impossible.

It is not him who should really panic, but his enemies.

Although Li Wei said so, the girls were still a little uneasy.

In the dull atmosphere, I finished the lunch.

At this moment Serabio walked in with a man dressed as a priest.

"Li Wei, this is the priest of the Temple of Delphi. He has something to discuss with you."

Serabio said.

Li Wei looked at the priest quietly. He was about forty or fifty years old, with a thin figure, short black and white hair, and a hint of wisdom in his cloudy eyes.

"I've heard the name of the Temple of Delphi for a long time, but I don't know why you came to Rome?"

Li Wei said bluntly.

"Demosthenes, priest of the Temple of Delphi, met the great general Livy, conqueror of Armenia, Pontus, and Jerusalem, founder and prophet of the Holy Faith."

The priest looked serious.

Li Wei's face turned pale, anyway, the priest at least looked very polite.

"The great god Apollo sent down the oracle, and I came to Rome to proclaim the oracle."

said Demosthenes.

"Oh, what is the oracle?"

Levi asked.

"Sidigus was the patron of Apollo, the sun god."

said Demosthenes.

Hearing this, Li Wei's face darkened immediately.

"What do you mean? Are you going against our holy religion? Don't forget how Corinth was destroyed?"

Hearing this, Demosthenes' expression changed drastically.

Corinth is a very famous city-state in ancient Greece, where there is also a very famous Temple of Apollo, but because of offending the Romans, the entire city-state was completely destroyed by Rome.

"Li Wei, are you threatening the Temple of Delphi?"

said Demosthenes angrily.

"You are right, I am threatening the Temple of Delphi."

Li Wei sneered and said, this is a slap in the face, what's wrong with me threatening?

Call me blasphemy? You think I'm afraid?

Putting that kind of crime on Socrates could kill him, but Li Wei was not afraid at all.

In the final analysis, this kind of thing still depends on the target, just like Sura sent troops directly into the Greek temple to grab gold, and nothing happened in the end.

Demosthenes was trembling with anger at Li Wei's words.

Li Wei continued: "I advise some people not to interfere in Rome's affairs, otherwise I will personally bring my army to visit in ten or twenty years."

Feeling Li Wei's undisguised killing intent, Demosthenes was startled awake.

He finally remembered the identity of Li Wei, the first person in the history of Rome, one of the three giants of Rome, who had a huge influence in the Roman Senate, and seemed to have controlled the Senate recently.

And many people say that he is the next Sulla, which is very popular in Rome.

"Dear Levy, this is not what we mean, but what Metellus meant. He wanted us to read the oracle and say that the holy religion is a cult, but we rejected it in the end."

Demosthenes immediately relaxed.

"Metellus, you bastard."

Li Wei couldn't help cursing angrily, this is trying to punish the holy religion to death.

"I have something to discuss during this trip. Your church's expansion in Rome has caused many people to worry."

Demosthenes whispered.

"So what? Our holy religion is not a cult."

Levi said.

"Of course I know. It's just that your religion is too unfriendly to other religions. If your religion develops, I'm afraid there will be no place for us."

"That's your business? I suggest that you add some teachings to your religion."

Levi said.

Religions without doctrine like Rome and Greece are destined to be eliminated. This is a very primitive religion.

Moreover, religion has a lot of incest and promiscuous content, so it is not an opponent of some conservative religions at all.

Although many religions are conservative in terms of sex, they beat Rome and Greek gods in all aspects, and the three major monotheistic religions are typical.

Buddhism also spread widely in China after castrating the Zen of Huanxi, but now it spreads by relying on Chinese famous stars.

Of course, this kind of joyful Zen is doomed to fail in the hall of elegance, and will be hit again sooner or later.

In order for religion to flourish, various doctrines must first be rectified, and this rectification does not include offensiveness against heretics.

"This is really too difficult."

Demosthenes said with a wry smile, "The story of the gods has already been spread all over the world, how can it be easily changed. I heard that someone proposed to reform the teachings of the Holy Church before. I wonder if you are willing?"
