Chapter 3 Zeno in the Rain (Part 2)
In another street connecting the bull market, Zeno wore a white skirt, holding the box and gritted his teeth and ran in the rain. The mud and filth made the bottom of her skirt dark, and the sandals under her feet broke, but she was still running hard because she understood that the things in this box were important to the entire Kitchen Goddess Virgin Group, Libidaus, and even the entire Republic. If they were intercepted in the middle, the serious consequences would be self-evident.
"You must hand over the things safely to his hands! This is the qualification for a virgin to take over the will." Zeno's hair was wet on his forehead by the rain, but she was still running and turned a shoulder at the corner of the street. She was too strong to avoid dodging. Before she could twist her waist, she screamed and fell into the puddle in a mess, but soon got up in a muddy face, hurriedly crawled forward a few times, and hugged the box.
At this time, several shoemakers walked out from behind the arcade, and a middle-aged man wearing a knight's cloak, who looked like a rich man. The shoemakers hurried forward to salute Zeno, and then carefully helped her up from the mud puddle. "I'm sorry, I can't express my gratitude, because at the Temple of Mother Earth, someone was waiting for the reading of this will, and things were urgent." Zeno used the still white part of his hand to wipe his hair and face briefly, and continued to hold the box tightly and said.
"Dear Virgin, please at least let me prepare a pair of shoes for you, so that you can go there faster, right?" the middle-aged man said with a smile. Then he asked the slave to take out two new and solid sandals from the shop and change them to Zeno in place. "Don't worry. The respectful Virgin. He bravely read the will of His Excellency Julius to the commander of the cavalry. He exposed the true faces of those people in public and the people who really gained power for us were all cheated by these people. They were really a group of people-eating beasts!" The middle-aged man then expressed his resentment and encouraged Zeno, "I am an Otika shoe dealer who thanks Emilius Act, but the group of people did not even allow me to approach the square and temple, and insulted and beat me."
"Thank you." Zeno bowed slightly and was about to continue running towards the destination. At this time, she turned her head and saw that at the intersection of the street, a group of sword slaves holding weapons were forced towards her under the leadership of a tall and thin man wearing a wool cloak.
Zeno instantly understood the other party’s purpose, and the vendors in this neighborhood also understood what would happen soon, so they pushed the stalls and disappeared and hid. Zeno held the box and held the corner of the wall with one hand, trying to run out in another direction, but she saw that the other party had prepared for a long time, and all the corners and exits were blocked and blocked.
Then the leading man stood in front of Zeno, who had no way to escape, first stretched out his pale wrist, then lifted off his cloak, revealing his towering cheekbones, irritable and raised cheekbones, and his eyes were very high-profile. His expression was like a cold fire that was intimidating, "Hello, beautiful virgin, I am Kasillo, the legal officer of the capital, your chief virgin Li Xilia's voice and tricks were unable to deceive me. The key to the matter was actually handed over to you, a young girl, look at your mistress, and let me take a rest and leave the will to keep it."
"You cannot do this. You are not the reader of this will. It should be handed over to the cavalry commander and read it by His Excellency Bisso. This is my duty." As he said that, Zeno hugged the box tighter in front of his chest.
"Responsibilities? Can I tell you about my duties? That is, now you have to hand over the will to me, because I am the judiciary, and the owner of this will embezzled tens of thousands of state property. I need this as evidence to judge him. This is very important, so - hand over this box to me, a cute and pitiful virgin." Kasio's eyes were burning with pale and blue fire, and he reached his hand to Zeno, and slowly asked, just like a cat who just played with a mouse.
Although Zeno's voice was trembling, his position was still firm, "Please don't move forward, and don't make the idea of this will. I am a virgin. This is also the task assigned by Ms. Li Xilia and cannot be handed over to anyone else."
"So what about the Virgin of the Kitchen God Temple? Li Xilia, isn't it just a woman who was deceived and played with feelings by Crasus in her early years. In the end, even the villa in the suburbs was deceived by Crasus. Thanks to other virgins who were strongly guaranteed, they were exempted from the prosecution of death - and you, your name is Zeno? Although you are the adopted daughter of the nobles, others are saying that you are the illegitimate daughter of Li Xilia and Crasus." Kasio's words were about to collapse the virgin who was huddled in the corner. He was simply unscrupulous. "As a virgin, he liked to touch the hearts of ordinary people. Li Xilia was like this back then, and you are the same now. Do you admire the cavalry commander of a foreign country, the Seris? But you have to understand how deep the punishment will be. If this is the case, you will be lifted up by the executioner on a stretcher, tied up, and your mouth will be blocked, and then you will be carried into the Kitchen God Temple. The most sinister rumor in the rumors is the most sinister in the rumors.
The terrifying small basement is only a few Roman rulers square. After you are carried in, there is only a table with a can of water and a few bread. Then the executioner will throw you there, and slowly-slowly--slowly---the gap in the wall with bricks, slowly sealing it with bricks, then you are inside, dark everywhere, and then the long and unbearable process of death comes. The sacred and noble virgin will wail, cry, and grab the wall with traces. After struggling in vain, it is slack and despair. You will eat your own feces, and finally die in shame." After saying that, Kasio's expression was distorted. He smiled happily, and then took another step forward, "But don't be afraid, as long as you hand the box to me and delay it for a while, everything is that simple."
At this time, a lightning fell down, illuminating Zeno's eyes. Then she raised the box high and shouted, "What kind of punishment should the capital legal officer force a virgin who submitted his will die?"
As she said that, her head leaned towards the bulging bricks on the wall, and the meaning was very obvious.
"Why do you have to do this? We won't hurt you." Kasiejo said hypocritically.
"Put your nonsense and eat your own feces! God of Vesta, please forgive me for being rude!" After saying that, Zeno made a move and ran into it, but several sword-fighting slaves took the opportunity to pull her.
"Stop you! The beasts who dare to offend the Holy Virgin and private wills must be beasts." At this time, under the arcade, the middle-aged man wearing a knight's cloak rushed out again, with dozens of black-skinned men holding short saws, knife and scissors and iron rods behind him. It seemed that they were all craftsmen and slaves in his shoe workshop, all of whom were from Numidia, and each of them was not a good man.
