Chapter 889: The timid Jupiter
October 24: Romulus and Lei Musi 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 issue of site selection.
Romulus thought that the Palatine Hill, which has commemorative significance and convenient transportation, was more suitable, however, Lei Musi thought that the Aventine Hill, which is easy to defend and difficult 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, Lei Musi, the eagle flew over my head."
Lei Musi: "Not true, 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 site of the new city by the victory or defeat of a duel.
"Sigh..."
Lin Ye sighed. Tragedy is how it happened. It was this struggle that caused Romulus to kill his own brother, Lei Musi.
Lin Ye didn't understand at first why the two, who were originally brotherly, would fight to the death because of a site selection. 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 subjects in China, if the monarch lets the subject die, the subject is not loyal if he doesn't die. If the emperor orders the subject to kill his best brother, then even if the subject 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 Lei Musi 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 persist in their own choices.
October 25: On the banks of the Tiber River, Romulus and Lei Musi had already opened their stance and were ready to fight. Just at the moment the two decided to fight to the death, Lin Ye's voice suddenly rang out. ===== CHAPTER 891 =====
