"The Dodona asked Zeus and Dione if they had fallen into the harsh winter because of the impurity of a person." - Book of divination in ancient Greek temples in the fourth century BC

In the small room of the High Priest's residence, Caesar and Calabis sat face to face. The candlelight shone on Caesar's face. His face seemed a little pale. He was restless and turned the ring on his fingers. Pompey had divorced his wife because of her love affair with him. But who would have thought that Pepeya almost cuckolded himself again in a blink of an eye. But what made Caesar even more difficult was that if Pepeya had an affair with Claudi, then it would be fine. The Romans were just catching up with the secret love, but now Claudi's bastard has blatantly defiled the Julius family and the high priest, the chief legal officer's residence and authority, which made him unable to sit idly.

"More importantly, my mother insisted on appearing in court, and she insisted on punishing Claudi."

"Yes, now the decent people in the whole city of Rome want Claudi to be punished." Calabis sighed and said to Caesar: "Actually, my master Tuna also hopes that Claudi will be done, but they are them, we are us. You must be cautious at this moment to turn the disadvantages into advantages."

"Tell me your opinion, Karabis."

"Your Excellency, this story has been passed down in our country of Seris. A king of a kingdom with bears as the totem. Their king worked hard to rule and eliminated many surrounding tribes. Once, when a triumphant banquet was held, a night wind suddenly blew, blowing out all the lights at the banquet. After the servants turned on the lamp again, King Bear's beautiful concubine gave him a horse's mane on his helmet, saying that there was a brave general who had just tried to offend her while he was in chaos and darkness, but was

She pulled off the horsehair from her helmet, and she cried and asked King Bear to find the lewd general on the spot. But King Bear announced on the spot that everyone attending the banquet took off the horsehair from her helmet, and everyone drank with joy. Later, when the King Bear went to fight against the barbarians, he was in danger of fierce fighting. A brave general rushed in to rescue King Bear. When King Bear expressed his gratitude to him, he said that I was the one who took off the horsehair by your concubine at the banquet!"

After listening to this story, Caesar thought about it and said to Karabis for a long time: "You mean I am the King of Bears, and Claudi is the General of the Despicable?"

"Yes, you have been delayed for a long time when you went far away to become the governor of Spain, and you still have a considerable debt that has not been paid off. There is only one year of term to reverse the situation, so if our career in Lusitania is constrained by the Senate, Pompeii or Cicero, it would be a bad thing." Calabis poured Caesar a glass of wine and suggested.

"I use Pepeya and the family's reputation in exchange for Claudi's gratitude and assistance. What do you mean?"

"Yes, let Claudi make a big flip in Rome. He is no different from your political stance. He is disgusted by the old guys in purple robes in the Temple of Concord. He can be a fighter of your Excellency in Rome. He will be happy with Pompey, Cicero and even Cato. You are at ease in Lusitania to expedition, collect taxes, pay off your debts, and do not pave the way for the consul in the future." Calabis said with great distress, "It's just Pepeya..."

"I have sent someone to the Bisso family to propose marriage, and the other party has brought it with a generous dowry. As for Pepeya..." Caesar sighed, drank the wine and then his eyes became cold, "because Caesar's wife cannot be doubted, even a little bit."

This sentence is equivalent to approving Karabis's suggestion and announcing the "death penalty" of Pepeya's marriage. Karabis felt relieved. He took out the velvet paper and ink, and described the relevant matters while writing. Then he assured Caesar: Leave the funeral of Rome to me to take care of. After the handling is done, I will naturally come to Lusitania to meet you. But now, have you already prepared the military in faraway Spain?

Caesar looked puzzled, and Karabis understood and said, "You should take the people who gave you the power to form the Senate first. After I handled the place, I will take the soldiers and supplies recruited in the subsequent boat and cross the sea to meet you."

"The Senate has promised me that this trip will be the team of the 10th Legion, and that it can have the power to form two auxiliary legions in Far Spain, but I will solve the money and food myself. This is Pompey's plan, and most of the backbone non-commissioned officers of that legion were his people."

"It's okay, I have already made Max out of operation to Port Brindisi. Anyway, Pompey has disbanded the legion on the spot. I have made Max out of the number of the 10th Legion, but the centurion has replaced all the people of the 13th Legion and the 7th Legion. Please rest assured," Karabis wrote quickly on the velvet paper and replied.

In addition to gratitude, Caesarwin put his soft hand on the back of Karabis's hand, making his whole body numb. Although he instinctively resisted, he still held back a smile. Caesar said--Your behavior has betrayed the Lord to some extent, while I betrayed my mother. Now we are all people on the same ship. "I remember you recruited the 10th Battalion of the Thirteenth Legion. When I leave, I will leave its backbone for you. You can find a way to fill the vacant quota immediately, and come to Far Spain again. Don't worry about weapons and money, just find Crassus. He has a complete weapon workshop in Etruscania."

It was not until the morning star disappeared that Karabis walked out of the high priest's residence. At this time, the small vendors on the streets were carrying goods back and forth in the fog and smoke. The citizens of various districts also enjoyed breakfast early and joined together, making loud noises and rushed to the God of War Square.

Today is the day when the Senate arranged. General Pompei, the Triumph General Pompei delivered a speech to all the citizens of the city. This is very important to Pompei and completely determines whether he can continue to gain the support and support of the people after the Mitradati War. Karabis thought about it and walked to the second floor of the public club beside the God of War Square with the crowd. He rented the next seat and spent fifty dinars. The view here is very good. You can clearly see Pompei surrounded by the elders, knights and citizens. He wore a canopy, well-dressed and confidently smiled. He looked down at everyone with the bronze bow as the podium.

As more and more people gathered, Pompei cleared his throat and began a speech full of energy. Obviously, he regarded the speech as an encouragement to soldiers and centurions on the battlefield.

As he listened, Karabis by the windowsill began to sneer. Pompey kept chattering, talking repeatedly about how he wiped out pirates, how he wiped out Mitradati. Ubert's army, how he faced various crises on the battlefield, how he used the art of command to turn danger into danger, how he captured the enemy's city, how many prisoners had been captured, and how much wealth he had seized for the Republic.
