Chapter 300 Failure

"Finally, finally!" Alcohol had made Levi unable to think normally. He slowly stood up with the help of the table. He didn't know how much he had drunk, but he couldn't stand steadily. He stood there staggeringly, pointing at Luca, and said in a muffled voice: "You didn't die after all. At that time, I thought you would definitely die in the fire of Anthony. You actually survived the fire that even the gods would be terrified. I have to say that you are a devil! An ominous thing!"

It was unclear whether this was a compliment or an insult, but Luca had already mastered the skill of not being shocked by honor or disgrace. He took a piece of bread calmly, took a bite, and continued to listen to Levi's story in silence.

The Battle of Worms finally ended in the fire over there. The dancing flames flickered in Levi's eyes. Levi was very happy. Finally, he used Antony's hands to kill the guy who took away his love.

"No one can escape from that flame, not even the gods in the sky. Only God in the world has the power to extinguish the flame and stop it from devouring. No one can escape!" Andrew was dressed in military uniform, sitting on a chariot, wearing a laurel wreath that had been prepared long ago, like a conqueror. Of course, he did win in this battle!

It was time to go back. Without the screams, there was nothing to see in the fire. The burning smell in the air was not something that people of status should breathe in. It was full of the smell of dead things. It was said that breathing it would cause a barrier between people and God. How could this be allowed?

Anthony very elegantly pinched his nose with his index finger and thumb. The smell made him unhappy. Soon, he felt that this posture was also indecent, or maybe he couldn't hold it back and was suffering unintentionally! So he took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, urging the driver to turn around quickly, unable to bear the stench.

Turning around, Antony inadvertently saw Livy, who was riding a horse beside Aetius, staring at the flames in a trance.

Anthony always liked to remind Levi inadvertently, and this time was no exception. He asked the driver to stop, and he leaned close to Levi's ear and whispered: "I killed Guy, and of course, I also got rid of the thorn in your side. Logically speaking, you owe me a favor. Of course, Captain Li Wei, I don't like people who don't repay favors! For that kind of people, I usually..." Anthony said, and made a gesture of wiping his neck in front of Levi, which was a reminder to Levi.

Levi seemed to have not come back to his senses in the fire. Anthony knew that Levi had heard it, but he didn't say anything and Anthony didn't force him. What's more, the stench was unbearable for Anthony.

Anthony urged the coachman to speed up. He wanted to get away from here and away from the stench. Only then would he feel comfortable.

"The Holy See, the Senate, this matter must not be known to the Holy See!" Aetius turned his head and reminded Levi: "You should now understand Guy's identity."

"The adopted son of Pope Thescot III." Levi answered in a low voice.

Aetius nodded and said to him, "You also understand the relationship between the Senate and the Church within the Empire. This is purely a personal grudge and we cannot get involved. However, only you and I know about this matter and we cannot tell anyone else. If word gets out that the Pope's adopted son died at the hands of the Senate, then the conflict between the Church and the Senate will intensify, which is not a good thing for us."

Levi nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Aetius' request.

"etc!"

Just here, Luca stretched out his hand to interrupt Levi, and then he continued: "Just now you said that Anthony deliberately killed Guy, and by the way, he wanted to help you get rid of me! So what does it mean for Anthony to kill Guy?"

"He wants to control the Church!" Levi was really drunk, as if he had been venting out the resentment that had been pent up in his heart for a long time. "He is a member of the Senate, but he is too young, too young, and has no say in front of these elders, so he wants to make a big event, such as cutting off Sixtus III's idea of ​​wanting his adopted son Guy to inherit the position of Pope."

"Isn't there a new pope now?" Andrew asked. "The current pope is Leo I, the bishop of Gaul, who is responsible for mediating conflicts between Rome and the barbarians. But there are all kinds of signs that he is not on the side of the Senate, and he has not even done anything to favor the Senate."

"Of course, Anthony is still too confident!" Levi said, sitting down slowly, with a look of disdain on his face, and then he said: "Anthony, this bastard who is probably not a believer in religion, pretends to be a devout Christian. He also has some connections with bishops in the Holy See, but his ambition is too big. He even coveted the position of the Pope. When Pope Sixtus III was critically ill, he lobbied the bishops everywhere, hoping that they would support him to become the new Pope. As long as he becomes the Pope, the elders of the Senate will naturally not dare to look down on him. Of course, if he becomes the Pope, and because he has the identity of the Senate, then the Senate and the Holy See will inevitably have unprecedented connections. As long as he can outlast those elders, Anthony will probably become the joint leader of the Senate and the Holy See. By then, he will probably compete with the Purple Chamber, and maybe he will be able to control some Christian dukes to resist Valentinian III."

"After all, he didn't succeed. Was it because of Leo I?" Luca tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "According to Anthony's way, he will definitely get a lot of support in the Vatican. If Leo comes back and beats him, that's very unrealistic. After all, the first to strike is the strongest!"

"The key lies in this Leo!" Levi spoke more and more excitedly, and he seemed to be unable to control himself. It might be that he finally met a loyal listener when he was in a trance, so no matter who the other party was, he would pour out his heart without considering the consequences. "I don't know who Leo got the news from. He knew that Anthony was a member of the Senate. He revealed Anthony's identity in front of the bishops during the confrontation with Anthony. And for some reason, I only heard them say that St. Peter and St. Paul were holding swords behind Leo. The two apostles warned Anthony that if he didn't admit his mistakes, the swords would be swung down and cut off Anthony's head. Anthony was scared, he was afraid and retreated. He cried and told his faults in front of Leo and the bishops and admitted his identity as a senator. It is said that he also prayed for the forgiveness of St. Peter and St. Paul. After all, the apostles were merciful. They let Anthony go. Ha, don't God know the sins Anthony committed?" At this point, Levi couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

"This is probably an evil money transaction!" Levi said, but suddenly remembered that these useless topics didn't seem to be the stories he wanted to hear.

"Levi!" Luca called out, "You didn't tell me where Anais is!"
