Chapter 99 Mutation
Busy, another day.
After Ji Mi washed his hands, he pressed his eyebrows to relieve his nervousness for the whole day.
Back in his tent, looking at the dark sky, in order to quickly recover his energy, Ji Mi lay on the bed and planned to take a break.
But just after he closed his eyes, a soft call made him open his eyes.
It is Sislo, the loyal servant of Maximus.
"What's up?"
"Master, please look for the master!" Sislo said with his head down.
"Okay!" Ji Mo responded, stood up and walked with him.
As soon as he walked into the camp, Ji Shi saw Maximus kneeling in front of the prayer table and praying for his wife and children. Then he stood quietly, waiting for his other party to finish his prayer.
"Ancestors, I pray that you will guide me, the mother of heaven, guide me in the future, the father of heaven, protect my wife and children, please tell them that I am just living to embrace them again, and I am proud of you, and will follow the teachings of the ancestors and live with dignity!"
The tone is low and sincere, making people feel his attachment.
After praying, Maximus held up a wooden villain on the prayer platform with a solemn expression and kissed her gently, then stood up.
"Uncle!" Maximus smiled at Ji Mo. Although it was still as warm as usual, it was less brilliant and more heavy.
"What's wrong?" Ji Mo asked, sitting down and opening his mouth.
"I'm afraid I have to break my promise. I can't leave with you. I can't take you to my hometown to see!" Maximus was full of regret.
Ji Hou looked at Maximus' eyes and said with certainty: "It's Caesar!"
"Yeah!" Maximus nodded slowly. When he went to see Caesar in the afternoon, Caesar wanted to hand over the Roman regime to him and let him briefly say the matter of Rome's restoration of republicanism.
"As I guessed, did Caesar not intend to let Maximus go back, but instead found a difficult task for him?"
Looking at Maximus surrounded by a gloomy look, Ji Shi said, "Why don't you refuse? If you refuse, Caesar will let you go!"
"This is a mission, I'm still a soldier!" Maximus pulled his mouth bitterly, raised his head, and said to Ji Mo again: "I'm sorry, I..."
After interrupting the other party, Ji Mo said unquestionably: "I'll stay too!".
"But..." Maximus shook.
Ji Hou said indifferently: "Nothing, but I don't have a home here, so it's the same everywhere!"
"Okay!" Maximus's mouth raised and returned to a little bit of glory.
"If this is the case, be careful of Conmodus!" Ji late reminded.
"I know!" Maximus nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll go back first, otherwise Finn will look for me!"
Meanwhile, while talking to Maximus at the end of the season, Commodos in their mouth slowly lifted his hand from being pressed against his chest by him.
Seeing his loss of breath and staring at his father unwillingly, two lines of dirty tears shed in Commodos' eyes like a poisonous snake. Although he didn't want to do this, he loved power more. So when his father told him that Maximus was the new heir, but had not officially announced to others, he took advantage of the opportunity to hug his father and pressed the other party's face hard on his chest, and wanted to live the life of the old man who had not been long since.
After he did this, he gained valuable time for himself.
Next, we will deal with Maximus!
...
Looking at the lights jumping in the dim camp, Ji Mi, who had just stepped into it, shrank and planned to withdraw his left leg that had stepped in, but as soon as he raised his leg, a clanging sound came from around him.
"I think we should have a good talk!" A plain voice came from not far behind Ji Mo,
Ji Hou turned around and looked at Quintas, who was standing outside the encirclement composed of the guards brought from Rome by Commodos, with his eyes cold.
"Don't look at me like this, I know you don't agree, but I think you'd better listen to me!" As he said that, a figure fainted, was carried by two guards and appeared in front of Quentas, who was now putting the short sword in his hand on the figure's neck.
And that person is Finn.
Ji Mo glanced around and found that his tent had been surrounded by layers of imperial guards. Even Quintas was standing cunningly outside the encirclement of the imperial guards. After he was far away from him, he silently estimated that he had a chance to save him before the other party killed Finn and had less than 30%. Ji Mo stood there, hugged his arms and spoke, "What do you want to say?"
"Help New Caesar control the Legion with me!" Quintas said his purpose directly.
"New Caesar!" Ji Mi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's right, the new Caesar, His Highness Commodos!" Quintas said, then shook his head with a look of pretentious regret, and said, "Caesar, Marcus has passed away tonight, and appointed His Highness Commodos as the new Caesar..."
Ji Mo sneered inwardly and said to himself: "Haha, I don't believe that when the other party just made a decision to hand over the Roman regime to Maximus, he would die at such a strange night! And he also handed over the position to Commodos, so he was killed by Commodos, his son!"
"Select!" Quintas's voice was filled with a hint of eagerness.
At this time, a systemic prompt sounded in Ji Mi's mind.
“Stage 2 Task: Choice.
Maximus Commodos?
Note: When you answer Quintas's words, it is the choice you make, and the choice is related to the subsequent tasks."
"Choose?" Ji Mo smiled helplessly. The system was really not the time to insert it. He originally wanted to pretend to agree to the other party and save Finn first, but now as long as he agrees to the other party, the result of this choice cannot be changed...
And choose Commodos? What a joke!
"No, I refuse!"
He chose the former without hesitation, and as he said it, Commodos's option disappeared, while Quintas was relieved. He was really afraid that the end of the season would agree.
Commodos hated Maximus very much because of his father's affairs, so Maximus had already been listed on the list of death. After Maximus' death, the current legion would not obey his orders, and even Quintas only controlled a small part, but it was different in the end of the season, which was extremely famous among the soldiers.
So as long as the end of the season agrees, Quintas's importance in Commodos's eyes will be greatly reduced, and this is why Quintas breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the rejection at the end of the season.
"Since that's the case, then kill them both!" Quintas sneered, and swung the dagger in his hand towards Finn in a coma.
