Although he had read many of his books in Nervana, Nero had never actually been to the battlefield, so how would he know what it meant to suppress a gun or not?

Or maybe subconsciously, she still treats her brother as a child.

"Okay, okay, be good and don't move." Nero, who didn't know that Tony was suppressing the gun, subconsciously thought that his brother was a little shy and wanted to break free from his arms.

Are you kidding me? As the emperor of the empire, how can you let my brother run away?

Thinking of this, Nero hugged her even tighter.

Feeling the smoothness and softness against his face, Tony's first reaction was, hmm~ Sister's nightgown is very beautiful~ It just reveals the northern hemisphere of the nightgown...ah, my face...feels good~

The problem is, my face feels good, but this gun... I can't hold it back any longer!!!

"Hmm? Brother, your hand..." Nero looked at Tony with a slightly red face and murmured softly.

Because of the need to control the gun, Tony kept his hands below, and because Nero hugged him tightly, his hands that were originally used to control the gun were somewhat... well, somewhat carelessly rubbing against Nero's thighs.

Comrades! Friends! Nero's... Roman citizens! Our Tony really, really accidentally rubbed Nero's thigh with the back of his hand. If you don't believe me, you can try it with your girlfriend. When you hold your penis and suppress your gun, it is really easy for your hands to touch a girl's thigh!

Oh, those who don’t have a girlfriend...you can ask those who have a girlfriend if this is the case.

Chapter 238: Set off to the Jewish province!

After Rosa and the heroic spirit Tony came to this world, the first thing they did was to visit Nero. It was because of this that the heroic spirit Tony gained Nero's support and was able to go to the British province to find his current self. Without Nero's support, the heroic spirit Tony would probably be killed if he encountered an investigation.

But after arriving in Sanoni City, the Heroic Spirit Tony did not mention it to Tony because he felt that meeting Nero was not a very important matter. Tony thought that his sister did not know about the existence of the Heroic Spirit Tony.

Before the heroic spirit Tony left, Tony established a certain connection with him, including transmitting information through familiars, and this time, the news that Gilgamesh and Solomon might be resurrected was conveyed by the heroic spirit Tony.

In Tony's understanding, his sister didn't even know about the existence of the Heroic Spirit Tony, so when Nero asked about it, Tony subconsciously put the letter sent to him by the Heroic Spirit Tony directly into his arms.

"Hmm?" Nero was stunned for a moment when he saw Tony's unusual behavior. Then he asked, "What's wrong, brother? What's in the letter? Why did you hide it from your sister?"

Can I show it to you?

There are four names mentioned in this letter: King David, Solomon, Gilgamesh and Semiramis.

Of course, for now, the thrones of King David and Solomon are indeed empty, and the resurrection of Kimpika and the Empress... are just rumors at the moment.

After all, the place where these two were resurrected was not within the territory ruled by the Roman Empire.

However, no matter who it is, even if it is a three-star Servant like King David, if the Heroic Spirit descends into this world... it is very scary, okay! This is not the world of FGO, and it is not based on star rating or ATK. If the Heroic Spirit descends, if the operation is done properly, the great hero can wipe out almost all the Heroic Spirits that were resurrected before.

Not to mention that the content of the letter was too shocking, the most important thing was that if Nero saw this letter, he would definitely be concerned about one question, that is, where did this letter come from.

What do you think Tony will say? What if the dead me in the future is resurrected and comes to this era?

You can still talk to modern people and still be indecisive about quantum mechanics, but can you talk to Nero? Does Nero know what quantum mechanics is?

You know nothing!

"It's okay, sister." Tony waved his hands in a panic.

"I don't believe it." Nero looked at Tony's attempt to cover up his mistake and felt a chill in his heart. He had a feeling that his younger brother was going to get married!

My brother must have another woman outside! This letter must have been written to him by another woman! That's why he won't show it to me!

Watching Nero's expression changing constantly, Tony scratched his head in confusion. What the hell is this?

In the end, if Tony hadn't seen Nero's expression as if he was about to cry, he might not have really taught out the letter in his hand.

"In other words, the legendary King Gilgamesh of the Kingdom of Uruk and others have been resurrected?" Nero said with a frown after reading the letter.

"Yes, your brother is resurrected." Tony shrugged and said.

"My brother?" Nero opened his eyes wide, not quite understanding what this sentence meant.

"Ahem, don't worry about the details." Tony waved his hand and quickly brought the topic back: "But whether Gilgamesh is resurrected is still just speculation. After all, it's just a rumor. But Solomon and King David are probably really resurrected."

"What should we do then?" Nero was a little nervous. After all, the Jewish Kingdom that was once ruled by these two people now only had the Jewish province left.

"We can only wait and see how they react. However... I think even if they intend to revive the Jewish Kingdom, I guess they will lack a certain mass base," Tony analyzed.

The reason why the rebellion broke out in the province of Egypt was that Egypt still had a certain mass base. After all, the Egyptian Kingdom had only lasted a hundred years, just three generations. In the remote Upper Egypt region, there must still be people who were nostalgic. But the Jewish Kingdom was different. The Jewish Kingdom was probably destroyed in the sixth century BC, about six hundred years ago. Moreover, it was the Chaldean Kingdom that destroyed this country.

Well, it's the Chaldean Kingdom, not Chaldea.

Then, the Chaldean Kingdom was destroyed by the Persian Empire, and the Persian Empire also died under the sword of the Alexander Empire.

To put it simply, the destruction of the Jewish Kingdom had nothing to do with the Roman Empire, except that this land is still occupied by the Roman Empire.

Therefore, the Jewish Kingdom was not as good as the Egyptian Kingdom. It did not have a corresponding mass base. Not only had so much time passed, but the land had also changed hands several times. The people on the land... really had no sense of belonging to the Jewish Kingdom.

So, Tony is now unsure of what King David and Solomon are trying to do.

"Then let's go to Jerusalem and take a look!" Nero said to Tony.

???

Looking at Nero's earnest face, Tony was a little unsure what Nero meant.

Does he really care about the resurrection of these two ancient wise kings? Or does he simply want Tony to leave Alexandria?

Or both?

"Well... we must go to Jerusalem, but before we go, I still have to ask Nitocris first." Tony nodded and said.

"Why are you asking her? We can go directly to Jerusalem and ask Solomon and King David." Nero patted Tony's shoulder gently and asked.

"...So sister, you just don't want me to see Nitocris, right?" Tony looked at Nero with a bad face and asked.

"Ahem, brother, I'm just worried that you'll be deceived by that bad woman..." Nero said after coughing twice.

Bad woman? Tony was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't realize that this was referring to Nitocris.

"What's so good about this..." Tony muttered a few words, but since his sister insisted so much, then... then he could only let it go for the time being.

After saying goodbye to Mary and Neto and packing their luggage, Nero and Tony decided to go to Jerusalem first to see what the situation was there.

"You mean, Nero and Tony set out yesterday? And are heading towards Jerusalem?"

On the second day after Tony set out, in the city of Jerusalem, Rosa frowned and looked at the heroic spirit Tony and asked.

"Yes, that's what I say in this era." The heroic spirit Tony held a cup and drank a sip of water leisurely like an old cadre, and said.

"Tony and Nero don't know, but don't you know? The situation in Judea is very complicated right now. If we let them come, it's very likely that... a new rebellion will be brewing!"

Chapter 239: Traditional Roman Banquet

"This... is the Jewish province?"

After a week's journey, Tony and Nero finally crossed the Sinai Peninsula and arrived at the jurisdiction of the Jewish province.

Compared with the wealthy Egyptian province not far away, the Jewish province also looks very rich. Yes, it looks rich.

The wealth of the Jewish province was only on the surface. For example, the Romans living in the city basically lived a life of luxury, but the Jews in the Jewish province... lived a life of...

It’s okay for women, because out of shame their clothes are relatively intact, but it’s different for these men.

Fortunately, no matter how poor they are, they can still find a piece of cloth to wrap themselves around so that they don't have to show off their little dicks outside.

"What the hell is going on?" Not to mention Tony, even Nero was a little annoyed. Whether it was the Jews or the Romans, they were all people under her rule. How come her own people... rarely even had intact clothes? !

"I think... it's most likely related to the religious environment here." Tony frowned and began to analyze.

Tony couldn't say that he knew the history of the Roman Empire very well, but he knew it roughly. So he knew that in about ten years' time, a war would break out in this land.

First Jewish War.

To the Romans it was a great rebellion, but to the Jews it was a revolt.

The initial cause of the war was naturally the oppression and exploitation of the Jews by the Romans.

So the question is, why did the Romans do this?

it's actually really easy.

On the one hand, it is because of the religious beliefs of the Jews. In this era, no matter which country, basically everyone believes in polytheism, such as Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Sumerian mythology, and Egyptian mythology. There is more than one god in these myths and legends.

But the Jews wanted to make a big news. Both Judaism and Christianity are monotheistic religions, which was contrary to the religious environment at that time. It was for this reason that the Romans in the province of Judea and the local Jews had never been in harmony.

Besides this, there is another problem.

During the Republican period, Roman officials did not receive any salary. But if you don't pay them, you have to pay them something else, right? Otherwise, how can they support themselves? Therefore, in order to support themselves, these officials basically worked hard to make money, especially the governors. After taking office, the four words "getting worse" can be considered a compliment.

Although it is now the imperial period and officials have been paid, they will still find ways to make money. Therefore, the current situation in the Jewish province, in addition to the conflicts between the Romans and the local Jews, is also due to the fact that the current governor is a bit too exploitative.

"You bastard..." Although it is a tacit fact that Roman officials are good at making money, they are not as good as you! If you continue like this, won't the officials force the people to revolt?

Basically, ever since entering the Jewish province, Nero's face has been so bad that even Tony doesn't dare to talk to him.

After finally reaching the gate of Jerusalem, something unexpected happened.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Just as Tony's carriage was about to enter the city, a Roman officer who looked like a squad leader came forward with the two soldiers, raised their Roman pistols and blocked Tony's carriage.

"Huh?" Seeing that the captain dared to stop the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Majesty the Emperor, Mary subconsciously raised her eyebrows and was about to slap him first, but she suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness seemed to have specifically explained a few days ago that in this Jewish province, the two people in the car were not the prince or the emperor, but the son and daughter of a big businessman.

"We are passing through Jerusalem and planning to go to Byzantium." After taking a deep breath, Mary took two steps forward and said in a deep voice to the captain.

Wow! This girl...is pretty good looking!

When the captain saw Mary's appearance, his eyes lit up at first, and then he swallowed involuntarily.

Pity!

The captain shook his head secretly. Judging from her accent, the woman dressed as a guard should be from Rome. No matter if she was a mercenary or a slave, at least... the fact that she could have someone from Rome as her guard showed that the owner of the carriage was not ordinary.

These beautiful guards might actually be someone else’s sword slaves!

As mentioned before, there is a profession in the arena called sword fighter, and those star sword fighters are often bought by some dignitaries and trained to be their personal guards, and these sword fighters are sword slaves.

"Then... you guys go in." Frightened by the murderous aura of this girl, the team leader subconsciously took a half step back, indicating that they could enter the city.

"It depends...it seems that the captain is planning to extort money from us." Tony, who had been observing outside through the car window, shook his head. It was obvious that the Jewish province was rotten from top to bottom!

As soon as Tony entered the city and found a hotel to stay, he heard several diners on the first floor talking: "Have you heard that our governor is holding a banquet in the square today. It seems that he has invited some distinguished guest who is from Rome. If we are lucky, we may be able to get some food later."

Having stayed here for more than a year, Tony certainly knows that although these high-ranking officials will exploit the people ruthlessly, sometimes they will also give some benefits to the local people appropriately, because only in this way can they make those people with the right to vote cast their votes in the general election.

"Banquet..." Nero's face turned cold, and he said, "I remember that you have never participated in a traditional Roman banquet, right? Come on, I will take you to see it today."

To be honest, Tony himself has only attended a few banquets.

The first time was in the province of Britain, and because the area had not yet been fully Romanized, the banquet there could not be considered a traditional Roman banquet.

As for Nero’s birthday... the Romans are always good at accepting new things. If this new thing can bring enough pleasure to the Romans... then they will accept new things twice as fast.

So strictly speaking, Nero's birthday was not a traditional Roman banquet.

But others are different, such as the banquet of the legendary governor of the Jewish province, it looks like... it should be a traditional Roman banquet.

"Okay." Looking at his elder sister's murderous face, Tony shrugged his shoulders and expressed his silent condolences in his heart for the governor of the Jewish province whom he had never met.

PS: There is still only one chapter today. I will try to finish three chapters tomorrow... So why did the author say that it is gone? I will ask Orange on Monday.

Chapter 240: Poverty limits Tony's imagination of the Roman nobility

Jerusalem, the capital of the Roman province of Judea, was also one of the largest cities in the province.

"Long time no see, Senator Frentunus." At around three o'clock in the afternoon, on the balcony of the Governor's Palace, a middle-aged man wearing a toga made of fine wool smiled at a bearded man.

"Long time no see, Governor Florus." The elder named Frentunus smiled and gently adjusted his toga before shaking hands with the Governor, smiling reservedly.

"Mr. Governor...is there anything you want to talk to me about today?" Frentunus asked Florus with a smile.

"Let's eat first, and talk after dinner." Florus laughed, pointed to the lounge chair on the balcony not far away, and said to Frentunus.

"Okay." Florunus nodded, and after lying down casually on the recliner, he nodded to the slaves standing at the door, indicating that they could prepare to serve the food.

In the Roman Empire, a Roman would generally eat three meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch and dinner. The main meal would usually start around sunset and last until late at night. This main meal was different from the simple breakfast and lunch before. The Romans were a nation that enjoyed life very much, especially when it came to eating. The main meal was a meal that was quite Roman in nature.

Generally speaking, before the meal begins, the host will first prepare a traditional poetry recitation as a more literary opening to set the tone, and then hold a concert or a drama. Almost at the same time, the host's slaves can bring out the prepared appetizers, allowing the host and guests to eat while watching the concert and the drama.

The appetizers in the main meal are relatively simple, basically the more common eggs, fish, shrimp and the like. Of course, our Governor Florus invited the elders, so he naturally couldn't use regular food to treat them, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. So this appetizer is caviar.

And it is the best caviar, the Caspian sturgeon caviar!

You know, the Caspian Sea is not close to Jerusalem. In addition to the war, it is very difficult to get a piece of top-quality Caspian sturgeon caviar. So when the caviar was served, Frentunus subconsciously widened his eyes.

"Good stuff!" After taking a sip, Frentunus squinted his eyes and nodded at Florus, praising: "This caviar... tastes really good!"

"The caviar tastes just so-so, the highlight is yet to come." Florus said to Frentunus with a smile.
