"Lin Ye?"

Romulus didn't know who Lin Ye was, but he at least knew that Lin Ye was definitely not an ordinary existence.

"I should go. See you next time."

Lin Ye reached out his finger and tapped on Romulus’s forehead, and then Romulus felt as if something had been added to his head, and then... Lin Ye disappeared.

That day, because of the sweet rain after a long drought, everyone was very happy, and Romulus and Remus were the same.

The two drank with everyone, and then fell asleep drunk on their own beds.

Vaguely, the two brothers seemed to hear someone calling them. Then, a figure appeared in the two brothers’ minds; it was their father! The God of War Mars!

Mars told the two brothers about their life experience, told them that their grandfather Numitor had been driven out of power, and that their mother Silvia had been harmed. The two brothers were greatly enraged!

Just as the two brothers decided to go directly to find Amulius for revenge, Mars stopped them.

"Are you prepared to fight a country with the strength of two people? You are still two fledgling eagles; how can you fight a group of strong vultures!"

Romulus: "But Father, we cannot watch our grandfather suffer while the enemy remains at large!"

Listening to Romulus’s words, Mars thought for a while, and then said, "In that case, you go find Lin Ye. If it is him, there will definitely be a way."

"Lin Ye!" Hearing this name, Romulus was also greatly shocked. Who is this man, and why does even his father, the powerful God of War Mars, praise the other party so much?

Day 2: You and Remus woke up from your sleep. You remembered Mars’s guidance to you, and at the same time, you discovered that your mind could actually sense Lin Ye’s location. You were overjoyed, so you took Remus and went to find Lin Ye’s direction.

Day 3: You found Lin Ye at the Temple of Diana (Temple of Artemis). You explained your intentions to Lin Ye, and looking at you who were so determined, Lin Ye said:

"To overthrow a king, I have three methods here: lower, middle, and upper. Which one do you choose?"

As Lin Ye said this, three options appeared before Romulus.

Option 1: Lower strategy: Lin Ye reveals his divine power and directly solves Amulius with a bolt of thunder. Pros: Simple and fast. Cons: Alba Longa becomes a divine kingdom that believes in Lin Ye, and divine power is higher than royal power.

Option 2: Middle strategy: Follow Lin Ye’s guidance to find your grandfather Numitor, and then find another place to establish a new country. Pros: No bloodshed, and guarantees the loyalty of the people. Cons: Time-consuming and laborious.

Option 3: Upper strategy: Follow Lin Ye to learn various skills, then use the name of Numitor’s grandson to form a rebel army as a legitimate heir, overthrow Amulius’s rule, and put your grandfather on the throne.

Pros: Guarantees the loyalty of the people, strengthens yourself, and has the opportunity to establish an unworldly achievement. Cons: Cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, and there is a risk of failure.

Looking at the three options before him, Romulus also hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, he really wanted to beg Lin Ye to strike that guy dead with a thunderbolt, but he also understood that the throne snatched back that way would ultimately not be theirs.

Before the Age of Gods, Western divine power was higher than royal power. Romulus’s grandfather Numitor was deposed from the throne by the High Priestess by the will of the gods, which allowed Amulius to take power.

So the lower strategy definitely cannot be chosen.

As for the middle strategy, it is also directly passed. Time-consuming and laborious is fine, but to let himself be a coward, he, Romulus, absolutely disagrees! He can die on the battlefield, but he absolutely does not want to wrong himself.

"I choose three!"

Hearing your words, Lin Ye also laughed.

"You did not disappoint me. In that case, I will give you the strength to fight a country!"

Listening to Lin Ye’s words, you were overjoyed.

Day 4: Lin Ye handed you directly to a big man like an iron tower to let you learn from him. You also learned the other party’s name: Heracles!

At the same time, you also learned one of Lin Ye’s identities! Captain of the Argo!

"Heracles! How could it be!" Romulus was stunned when he saw this! How many people in Rome don't know the name of Heracles? That is the greatest hero in ancient Greece!

He is also the comrade-in-arms of their ancestors!

Romulus and the others are descendants of the Trojan general Aeneas, and Aeneas’s father Telamon was a crew member of the Argo, and Lin Ye is the captain of the Argo. If you round it up, saying Lin Ye is their ancestor is not an exaggeration at all!

Here is a piece of trivia: Romulus is not the ancestor of Caesar and Nero, because Romulus’s descendants were overthrown in 529 BC, and then it was the Republic period represented by Caesar, and then it was overthrown by Octavian in 28 BC to establish a unified empire. After that, it lasted until Nero was overthrown in 395 AD. Later, Diocletian divided Rome into the Eastern and Western Empires, until the Roman Empire ended in the period of Constantine XI. (Can Constantine really not be strengthened? The shame of the five-star Servants!)

Romulus understood this point, and he finally "understood" why Lin Ye cared so much about him.

"I must work twice as hard and not let Senior Lin Ye down!"

Day 5: You followed Heracles to learn Nine Lives.

Day 15: You initially learned Nine Lives.

Month 2: You finally learned Nine Lives with your superb talent. However, when you used it, you discovered that you could only use Nine Lives with a spear.

Just as you were blaming yourself, Lin Ye came to your side and patted your shoulder, saying,

"The so-called Nine Lives is originally a martial art created by Heracles. It suits Heracles, but it may not suit you. Now, you still have to find your own path."

Immediately after, Lin Ye tapped on your brow.

The next second, you discovered that you and your younger brother Remus had actually entered a dream.

Before you, a towering tree reached into the clouds, and under the tree, a gentle and beautiful woman was smiling at you.

Although it was the first time meeting, you instantly knew her identity!

Your mother! Silvia!
