My XX deal with Sister Nero

In modern society, many people who love history know that the stirrup is a very powerful auxiliary equipment for cavalry. To put it bluntly, the appearance of the stirrup has improved cavalry combat by at least a level!

To put it simply, everyone who has used it says it’s good!

Now Nero said that he wanted the blacksmith shop to make a pair of stirrups. There was no doubt that this was a manifestation of Nero's curiosity about this thing. As long as it was confirmed that this thing was indeed useful, then Tony's rapid rise to fame would no longer be a dream.

After the attendant left, Tony pretended to glance at the reed pen he had used before, and then said, "I suggest you try a different kind of pen. Um, a quill pen, which is made of feathers from bird wings. That kind of pen is much easier to use than a reed pen."

Many people know about the quill pen. They also know that it is a Western pen that appeared after the reed pen and gained widespread popularity. However, not many people can explain why this pen is better than the reed pen. Tony happens to be one of those people who cannot explain the reason.

Although Tony didn't know why the quill pen was better than the reed pen, at least one thing was certain: since it was so popular, it meant that the quill pen was definitely better than the reed pen. Wasn't it enough to know this?

Hearing Tony's suggestion, Nero was slightly stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give the order."

Well, although Nero didn't understand why the child said that at this time, it should be no problem for him to agree to it first.

"Then, everyone, please rest here with peace of mind. We, the brave warriors of the Roman Empire, will definitely recover the lost territory." Nero nodded slightly to everyone and then left.

After Nero left, everyone stood up, but the way they looked at Tony seemed not right.

This is not surprising. Tony has been to Creekwood Town twice. The first time, he gave everyone the impression of being an introverted child, but the second time, which was this time, Tony acted like something completely different from an ordinary child.

Looking at the expressions in everyone's eyes, Tony knew what everyone was thinking, but it didn't matter. For Tony, these were just small matters.

After talking to Nero this time, Tony will definitely reap huge benefits once it is confirmed that stirrups are useful for cavalry.

The first advantage is that you have a good reputation with Nero. No matter what you do in the future, at least Nero will remember you. Even if Tony really plans to seduce Nero in the future, compared with others, Tony is always the one who wins at the starting line.

The second benefit is the ability to earn a lot of money.

The stirrup is just a small object, but if it is finally confirmed that it can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, as the overlord of Europe at this time, the Roman Empire will definitely reward Tony with a large amount of money.

There should be a third and fourth benefit, but Tony couldn't think of it right now. But then again, Nero... I seem to have seen him somewhere before?!

How should I put it? Although I have seen Nero in FATE before, the reason why I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I see Nero now is not because of this reason. It should be... I seem to have seen someone who is a bit similar to Nero somewhere.

Well that's not the point.

Stirrups are not difficult to make. With sufficient materials, the blacksmith handed the stirrups to Nero in the evening of the same day. Under Nero's arrangement, a Roman cavalryman nailed two long strips of cowhide on both sides of his saddle and hung the stirrup on it. After confirming that it was fixed, the cavalryman put one foot on the stirrup and then climbed on the horse as Nero said.

"How is it?" Nero asked nervously after watching the cavalryman mount his horse.

The cavalryman put his other foot into the stirrup and said, "Your Highness, this stirrup makes it much easier for me to mount a horse. I think that after the horse is equipped with this thing, the time it takes for a newcomer to learn how to mount a horse can be greatly shortened, leaving plenty of time for learning how to fight on horseback."

Nero nodded, looked at the racecourse in front of him, and said, "Run a lap and see if this thing can help you charge."

The cavalryman nodded, walked around twice to let his feet get used to the stirrups before galloping on the racecourse.

Not long after, the cavalryman came back after running a circle and said excitedly, "Your Highness, this stirrup is really a good thing. When I step on it, my body is not so stiff, and I don't have to keep squeezing the horse's belly. It allows me to focus more on fighting the enemy. It can be said that this thing is of great help to our cavalry!"

"Really?" Nero's eyes lit up when he heard the cavalryman's answer!

It looks like the little guy wasn't kidding!

Let’s not talk about Nero testing the stirrups for now, and let’s talk about the other side.

Tony looked unhappy when he returned. It was simply because it was not fun here.

The camp that housed the refugees from Ximu Town was not very big. He and Tita were even squeezed into a small tent. What fun could there be in such a small place? In addition, they could not leave the camp. Tony felt that he was almost bored.

After strolling around the camp twice, Tony finally found something to pass the time, that's right, sleeping.

In his previous life, Tony was called the God of Sleep because he could sleep so much. When he was in junior high school, he went to bed at 10:30 every night, but he would still sleep for two classes the next morning. During one of his holidays, Tony even did an experiment to see how long he could sleep. He slept for two days and two nights, and was eventually woken up by hunger...

Okay, that seems to have gone off topic.

In short, Tony finally chose to sleep. He had nothing to do and no worries about food and drink, so he decided to take a nap first. Tita would come to wake him up when it was time for dinner.

I don't know why, but when I think of the time when I seemed to have seen someone who looked a bit like Nero somewhere, I feel a strange feeling in my heart.

Why exactly...

As he was daydreaming, Tony soon fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Tony dreamed that he went back to the past, back to his previous life, the time when he was full of vigor and vitality.

Although my parents don't know how to express their love for them, at least when I think back now, when I was young and ignorant, my parents didn't send me to the magnetic infantryman Yang Xin for electric shock therapy because of my rebelliousness. Is this proof that my parents still love me?

After graduation, he went to work in the customs. Working in a government agency was considered promising. He also had a girlfriend who loved him and obeyed him in everything. Tony seemed to be a winner in life in his previous life.

It's a pity that because of this unknown reason, he traveled to this world, and his family, friendship, love and bright future were ruthlessly cut off by an invisible knife.

I dreamed of the past and when I woke up I felt sad.

I don’t know how long I slept, but before dinner, Tita came to the small tent and woke up Tony who was still sleeping.

"Did you have a nightmare? Why are you crying in your sleep?" Looking at the crystal liquid sliding down the corners of Tony's eyes, Tita asked curiously.

Tony reached out and touched the corners of his eyes, then smiled and said, "No, maybe it's because I just woke up, and I accidentally squeezed out two tears."

Today's first update, um, after yesterday's update, there are still 22 more to go, I remember

I woke up at around 4:00 and couldn't fall asleep because of the noise of my stupid roommate who played all night, so I wrote some words.

Chapter 22 Strange Gold Coins

"Oh~ I'm glad you didn't have a nightmare." After hearing Tony's explanation, Tita breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Be good, little brother. It's time to get up and have dinner."

Have dinner? Does that mean I slept until the evening? Tony looked at the sky outside and found that the sun was setting. He estimated the time and it should be around six or seven o'clock. It was indeed time for dinner.

Well, since it’s almost time for dinner, let’s get up and eat.

There is no so-called restaurant in the refugee area. There are only a few tents and no extra tents for everyone to eat. So where can they eat?

In the center of the camp is a small open space, on which several long tables and benches had been placed early on. These tables, chairs and benches were where everyone ate.

That’s right, we dine in such an open-air environment.

Taking the bowls they received for lunch and scooping some potato soup from the soldier in charge of logistics, Tony and Tita came to the dining table and sat next to Sevilla.

In addition to the potato soup that everyone brought, there was also black bread that had been prepared long ago on the table.

"Is this all we're eating today?" Tony couldn't help but frown as he looked at the food on the table.

This is worse than what he ate in the wilderness! At least at that time, Martha caught rabbits for him, so he could eat some meat. But now that he is in the city, why can't he even eat meat? Black bread? Although this thing is more nutritious, it tastes sour and salty. For a pure and innocent young man who has lived in the foodie empire for more than 20 years, he probably wouldn't want to eat this thing even if it was fed to pigs.

After taking a bite of the hard black bread with a frown, Tony drank a big mouthful of potato soup.

I've had potato soup in Pizza Hut before. Although I didn't like it very much, it was much better than the sour and salty bread.

No, we must find a way to solve the problem of raw materials before we can cook.

Although he had never learned how to cook, at least the few dishes he could make were all famous Chinese dishes from two thousand years later!

It just doesn't taste very good.

But it also suits your own preferences to some extent, doesn't it?

"Brother, why don't you eat?" Looking at Tony drinking potato soup without chewing the bread, Tita asked with some concern.

"Ah... I don't have much of an appetite today." Tony scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

What should I do? Could Tony still answer, "I can't get used to your food, I want to go back to the Eastern Han Empire to eat?" If that were the case, Tita would probably have to touch her brother's head first to see if he had a fever.

Fortunately, there were no mental hospitals in this era, otherwise the Rokukakuting Mental Hospital would definitely welcome him.

Don’t ask Tony how he knew about this hospital. He also wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala. As the only mental hospital that appeared on the Gala, Tony found it difficult to remember the name.

"No appetite? Are you sick?" Tita asked nervously.

"No, no." Tony quickly shook his head and said.

"Oh, right!" At this moment, Tita seemed to remember something. She reached out from a small pocket on her waist and took out a gold coin and handed it to Tony, saying, "This is something you left behind when you came to my house last time. My dad said that this should not be a currency circulated in the empire. It may be something related to your life experience. Now I'm giving it back to you."

Is it related to my background? Tony felt a little puzzled, but he quickly reacted.

The owner of this body is a little homeless man who carries gold coins but does not use them to buy anything. There is no doubt that this gold coin must have a special meaning to him, so he keeps it on his body.

Thinking of this, Tony took the gold coin. Although he is not the Tony of the past, he is still very curious about the former identity of the owner of this body.

The gold coin looks almost the same as the gold coins currently used in the empire, but it is somewhat different from the gold coins currently in circulation. The gold coins currently circulating in the empire have the portrait of the current emperor engraved on their surface, but the gold coin in Tony's hand has olive leaves crossed along the inside of the coin.

This shape seems to have been seen somewhere.

Tony looked carefully at the gold coin in his hand. He seemed to have seen this pattern somewhere before.

But where exactly was it? Tony couldn't remember for a moment.

Just when Tony put the gold coin into his purse, he suddenly found that several refugees from Ximu Town who were eating opposite him suddenly swallowed their food in their mouths, then stood up and looked behind them.

Hmm? Is there something strange behind me? Tony frowned and turned his head to look behind him.

Oh~ that touch of wind and beautiful white~

When Tony turned around, he saw a sliver of white very close to him...

Ahem! He is indeed an exhibitionist! Nero can wear white panties that symbolize purity to look sexy and enchanting. Shouldn't we praise him as the future emperor of the Roman Empire?

That’s right, we can’t call him emperor now, we have to call him head of state. Well, although they both refer to the supreme ruler of the empire, this is a serious, unpretentious and extremely pure history book [underline]. What happened in history is what happens here.

If you dare to say that Nero in history was actually a man, I will get angry with you. Believe it or not!

Ahem, it seems like my thinking has gone astray.

Tony coughed lightly, quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness."

Is this the princess? Hearing Tony's words, Tita was naturally shocked and quickly stood up and bowed to Nero.

Nero waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down before he said to Tony: "What you told me today... is very useful."

Although he already knew this would be the answer, Tony still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Nero said seriously, looking into Tony's eyes.

What kind of reward do you want? To be honest, Tony hasn't really thought about it!

Looking at Tony's expression, Nero knew that he hadn't thought about this question yet, so he glanced at the bread and potato soup on the table and frowned, "Are these things edible? How about this, come to my place tomorrow and I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"

Holy shit! At this moment, the refugees looked at Tony with a strange look in their eyes!

What happened?

Although some people had seen Tony telling Nero the use of the stirrups before, most people at that time thought it was just a naive idea of ​​a child, so they didn't tell anyone else about it after they came back, which directly led to a large group of people being collectively confused and not knowing what had happened.

When Tony heard Nero's suggestion, his eyes lit up at first, but then he shook his head slightly.

He knew that Nero loved luxury, and if he invited him to dinner, even if it was just something simple, it would be better than potato soup with black bread. But he couldn't get rid of him after just a meal.

"Then what else do you want?" Nero naturally knew that the stirrup technology was definitely worth more than just a meal.

"I haven't decided what I want yet..." At this moment, Tony suddenly remembered what he had just received from Tita.

Well, now that I have obtained Tony's body, I will help him find his former family, hoping to comfort his soul in heaven!

Chapter 23 Who the hell am I... (Additional update 10)

There is a saying in China that goes "fallen leaves return to their roots". This saying should also exist in other countries. No one wants to die in the wilderness. Everyone hopes that after death they can return to their family cemetery or the land where they were born and raised.

Maybe this Tony is dead, but now that he is possessed by Xiao Yun's soul, he thinks it would be better for him to find out where Tony's original family is.

It can be considered as fulfilling a wish.

Thinking of this, Tony sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "Speaking of which, I hope you can do me a favor."

Do a favor? Hearing these words, Nero said, "I can help you as long as it is within my ability. Just tell me."

Tony nodded and said, "I am an orphan. I hope you can help me find out who my parents are."

As he spoke, Tony took the gold coin out of his purse, handed it to Nero, and said, "This gold coin should have a deep relationship with me. Maybe I can find my family with this gold coin."

"A family token or something like that?" Nero said as he reached out to take the gold coin and then took a look at it.

When Nero looked at the crossed olive leaf pattern, her face almost changed on the spot!

"What...what happened?" Seeing the unpleasantness on Nero's face, Tony's heart suddenly rose.

What happened? Is there something strange about this gold coin?

After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to recover from his bad expression, Nero asked, "You said, this gold coin is related to your family?"

Tony scratched his head and replied, "I think so. To be honest, I think I have lost my memory because I have no memory of my childhood. But Uncle Antonio said that when I went to his house to beg, I never thought of exchanging this gold coin for delicious food. I guess in my impression, this gold coin should be very important, right?"
