Chapter 30 The Prophet and the Banquet (1)

"As a general, caution is more important than courage. {3w." - Augustus

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At this time, there was another exclamation in the square. The crowd gathered more and more. Word of mouth, many veterans and nobles first walked to the Etius house after hearing this explosive news. Then, after learning that Anthony actually presented the crown to Caesar on the Wolf Festival, the judicial officer said indignantly: "This must be a trick of Caesar and Anthony colluding with each other to deceive the people."

"Do we want to rush there together now and observe Caesar's choice?" Casca asked.

Sipingzel next to him raised his hand and said no, as this would make Caesar alert to us. Then he nodded and suggested to Etius, "Call two small characters, go and explore the direction of the wind first."

The so-called two small characters are the guardians of the civil servants, Flavius ​​and Malulas, who hurried to the square after receiving the command, where Anthony was offering the crown made of golden oak leaves for the second time, and shouted, "You are the great Julius Caesar, you drained the dirty swamp of Quinta, so that diseases and plagues will no longer plague the city of Rome, you are ready to open up the isthmus of Corinth, and you will also demolish all the reefs of Ostia, your sword is about to pierce the capital of Parthia, and the Roman army will enter the city of Seleucia. Don't you deserve such a noble honor?"

When Anthony's words just fell, the two civil guards shouted the slogan "I object" and entered the crowd. Most of the people covered their faces with their hands and made dissatisfied moans and sighs.

So Caesar said calmly and rejected the crown again. He said, "In front of the civil guardians, I will never accept this crown that will bring terrible luck to the country and me personally. Although it is made of gold on the surface, it is actually a bloody thorn." Then, he looked down at the two civil guardians who had just shouted the slogans, and asked loudly in public, "Send your name, two civil guardians!" When Flavi

After Us and Malulas said his name, Caesar stood up from the throne and shouted, "Anthony, I now take you with 120,000 stern demands, and immediately hang this crown on the columns on the other side of the square, and then, under the supervision of the guardian, carve today's date on the pedestal, and says that Julius rejected the gift of the crown twice, and he did not want to be a king! Yes, carve the words into the stone as a warning for permanent circulating."

At this time, the people burst into heartfelt cheers. They were all shouting long live Caesar, and countless hands were waving. At this time, Brutu also came, and he squeezed into the crowd to inquire about what had just happened. At this time, a man in a black cloak looked like a priest, climbed onto the statue and shouted to Caesar, "Julius, Julius, I am a prophet from Tuscany, and I have very important things to tell you!"

Because the crowd was so loud that he shouted several times before Caesar noticed him, so he asked everyone to calm down and he wanted to hear what the prophets could tell him.

"Be careful on March 15th, you may not live the moment you expedition to leave the city." said the prophet.

As a result, Caesar was expressionless and replied, "My friend, you are dreaming." Then he was about to walk down from the throne and the platform. When he was about to hold his wife's arm, the prophet shouted again, "Be careful that on March 15th, when comets will pass over the square and synagogue, you will fall under the enemy's sword, fall in a pool of blood, and your legs will be limped!"

"Take him away, bastard, bastard!" Just as Brutu was surprised, Kasio suddenly appeared in the other side of the crowd, instructed a team of armed slaves to pull the prophet down, "Take him into the dungeon and see if he has predicted the correct bad luck today."

"No, Kasillo, you are too excited and nervous to let him go. Under my rule, it is completely acceptable to talk nonsense without bad intentions." After Caesar said that, he continued to prepare to step down the platform.

"Your Excellency, I am sobering of your thoughts." Kassio flattered him in the audience.

Caesar nodded to him with a smile, and then he whispered to Anthony beside him, "Note that guy named Casio, he doesn't like games, gambling, reading, or music. He will have horror and exciting thoughts when he sees me or anyone standing higher than him. Anthony, don't call this guy with a pale face, skinny bones, and wet eyes to continue to follow me."

"Yes, obey the order." Anthony replied with a very sunny expression on his face.

As a result, a huge noise broke out in the crowd. Several people actually climbed onto the high pillar, took the crown down again, and then ran to the front of Caesar, fell to his feet, and raised the crown again, asking Caesar to put it on his head for the third time.

"Enough!" The two civilians protected officials were furious and asked the entourage to arrest the leading people. The people were very upset, but more people were grateful for the civilians' measures.

But at this time, Caesar suddenly became angry. He asked Flavius ​​and Malulas, "Why do you need to tell me that these people are arrested?"

"Your honor, dictator, can't you see that they have urged you to be king three times," replied Flavius.

"What I see is that after you two appeared, they instigated me to wear the crown for the third time. Could it be that you two conspired to put the crime of restoring the royal power to me?" Caesar said angrily, and then added, "You two were dismissed, expelled from the Senate, and disqualified from the synagogue." Then Malulas protested loudly in public and said that the position of the civil guardian officer should not be deprived of his personal safety and should not be violated at will, so Caesar did not have any power to remove them.

"Then I will change your name. Flavius, your name is Bruti, and Malulas, your name is Kumi. You two are like those two uncivilized tribes, one is a fool, and the other is a fool. Get out now, don't defile my sight. I am not wary of anyone, because eternal guardianship is extremely unfortunate for a head of state, but it does not mean that I will not be angry and impose sanctions on despicable villains. Bruti, Kumi, even if you are a civil guard, you cannot use veto power against the dictator." After that, Caesar left a sentence, asking the judiciary to judge them and leave.

But in the quarrel, white foam suddenly appeared on the corner of Caesar's mouth. In the screams of Corpnia, she failed to stand firm and rolled down the stairs of the platform. Anthony, Brutu, Casio and others rushed up and helped him up. Then his wife cried and asked his purple robe to cover him. The people were blown up. Many of them even climbed onto their own arcades and terraces to watch the dictator's epilepsy seizure.

Caesar made a beastly sound at this time. He rolled his eyes. Anthony stuffed the cork into his mouth and tore open his robe. After a long period of violent swing and twitching, Caesar finally slowly woke up, and then he said, "I didn't say anything wrong just now, did I?"
