Chapter 485
October 24: Romulus and Remus came to the banks of the Tiber River where they were picked up by the wolf. The two decided to build their own country here.
They brought the slaves captured from Amulius at that time, which could solve the most basic population problem, and the next step was the most important site selection problem.
Romulus thought that the Palatine Hill, which has commemorative significance and convenient transportation, was more suitable. However, Remus thought that the Aventine Hill, which is easy to defend and hard to attack and has strategic nature, was more suitable. So the two brothers decided to decide where to build the city according to the will of the gods.
The two stood on the hills they chose respectively, agreeing that whoever had an eagle fly over their head was chosen by Jupiter.
Half a day later, the two brothers met again.
Romulus: "You lost, Remus. The eagle flew over my head."
Remus: "That’s not right, Romulus. The one who lost is you. The eagle also flew over my head. And, there were six of them!"
Romulus: "That’s not a coincidence. I have more here, a full twelve."
Neither brother could convince the other, and finally, they decided to decide the location of the new city by the outcome of a duel.
"Sigh..."
Lin Ye sighed. Tragedy happened just like that. It was this struggle that caused Romulus to kill his own brother Remus.
Lin Ye didn't understand at first why the two, who were originally brotherly, would fight to the death over a location. This was simply too stupid.
But after simulating so many times, Lin Ye gradually understood the persistence of the Heroic Spirits from all over the world.
Just like the monarch and minister in China, if the monarch tells the minister to die, the minister is unfilial if he doesn't die. If the emperor orders the minister to kill his best brother, then even if the minister is unwilling, he must do so. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness; loyalty is greater than everything.
Similarly, in this era, gods are also greater than everything. Romulus and Remus both thought they had received an oracle. They were the choice of the gods, so for the sake of the gods they believed in, and for a better future, the two brothers had to insist on their own choices.
October 25: On the banks of the Tiber River, Romulus and Remus had already set up their stance, preparing to fight. Just at the moment when the two decided to fight to the death, Lin Ye’s voice suddenly rang out.
"I taught you so much, just for you to kill each other here!"
"Senior Lin Ye!" Romulus looked at Lin Ye who appeared suddenly, his face full of shame. "Senior Lin Ye, we also know this action is wrong, but this is the choice of the gods, so... we must fight for our respective beliefs."
"That’s right." Remus also nodded.
However, listening to Remus and Romulus’s words, Lin Ye’s face was full of disappointment.
"I split the divine tree into two and gave it to you back then, just to let you understand that you two were originally a whole, but now..."
Listening to Lin Ye say this, the two brothers were even more ashamed.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Lin Ye said helplessly: "Alright, since you say all this is the choice of the gods, then, I will let the gods tell you personally what his choice is."
After speaking, Lin Ye’s figure disappeared directly.
Five minutes later, just when the two brothers didn't understand what had happened, they saw thunder and lightning in the sky like the end of the world. Another ten minutes later, they saw Lin Ye carrying a bruised and swollen guy and appearing before you.
"This is... Lord Jupiter!"
Romulus was stunned! Jupiter! Also known as the King of Gods, Zeus! An existence that is supreme among the gods! How come he looks like a bullied child now!
How could Romulus know that, let alone this King of Gods Zeus who lost his body in Pan-Human History, even the All-God Zeus in the Lostbelt is just the difference between five minutes and fifteen minutes in front of Lin Ye.
Lin Ye placed Jupiter aside "politely," and then looked at him and asked,
"They both said they received your oracle. Now tell them, who exactly did you give the oracle to?"
Jupiter: "Huh???"
Bang!
Lin Ye: "I’m asking you a question? Who did you give the oracle to!"
Jupiter: "That... who do you want me to give it to?"
Lin Ye...
No, why does it feel like I’m bullying you like this? Am I that kind of person!!
"Just tell the truth, follow your heart."
You say follow follow.
Jupiter closed his eyes, reached out a finger, and said without turning his head, "It’s him! That’s right! He is the person I chose!"
No matter what the previous oracle was, anyway, now, this Romulus is the person I chose.
"Mm."
Lin Ye nodded, and then Jupiter left in a hurry.
Watching Jupiter leave, Lin Ye then looked at the two brothers and said,
"Alright, you have also received the oracle. Now, you can make your decision."
Make a decision? What decision is there to make? Jupiter has already said so, so we’ll just listen.
However... Senior Lin Ye, shouldn't you tell us! Just how strong are you! A dignified King of Gods! How come he is like a little chicken in front of you!
However, obviously, Lin Ye had no intention of explaining.
Finally, Romulus decided to build a new city on the Palatine Hill!
And to commemorate Lin Ye’s teaching to him back then, he decided to name this city!
Rome!!!
"Rome, it has finally been built."
Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.
For Romulus, the most important achievement of his life is building Rome, and now, this most legendary country in the West has appeared just like that.
November 27: With the concerted efforts of Romulus and Remus and the help of their grandfather Numitor, Rome was finally initially built!
On this day, the whole nation was cheering and celebrating, but Lin Ye discovered that Romulus’s face had always been filled with sorrow.
November 28: Finally, Romulus found Lin Ye embarrassedly.
Lin Ye: "Romulus, what’s wrong with you? Rome has been built, why are you still not happy?"
Listening to Lin Ye’s words, Romulus said embarrassedly: "Senior Lin Ye, may I ask you, can you... that... create humans? By the way, it’s best if they are women."
Lin Ye...
You guy, what exactly do you take me for!
