Chapter 657 Old Friend

"Are you trying to hide the fear in your heart by saying such ridiculous things?" Levi walked over quickly, raised the iron sword and pressed it against Luga's chin.

The sharp tip of the sword was placed on Luga's throat. Levi only needed to gently push his arm forward, and Luga would cover his throat and watch his blood gushing out.

"Oh, you don't have the courage to kill me." When his life was hanging by a thread, Luga sneered repeatedly, without any fear in his expression.

Such a calm guy, as if he was ready to die, did not show any fear when facing the sharp sword against his throat. This made Levi a little confused as to whether Luca was pretending to be calm or was really disheartened.

"Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Levi gritted his teeth, the iron sword in his hand was shaking. What kind of deep hatred made him so obsessed with killing this guy who was completely opposite to him. "He seemed to have mustered up the courage to do it, but for some reason, he couldn't do it, as if an invisible force was restraining him."

"You don't dare to kill me, not because of my identity as Augustus." Looking at Levi with an infinitely tangled face, Luca sneered, stretched out his hand to push away the tip of the sword against his throat, and stretched out his hand to Levi to point to the stone railing beside him, "Come here, I know what you want to know, and this is also the purpose of my coming here."

Levi looked at Luga in confusion. He had no intention of running away or even calling for help. He was so calm, as if the fatal murderous intent had never happened in his eyes.

"You have changed a lot, beyond my imagination." Levi seemed to make a concession, he compromised.

“Bang!”

The iron sword flew out of his hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Levi realized that he could not kill Luga because he did not have the courage. He sighed lightly, slowly came to Luga's side, put his hands on the stone railing, and looked at the open-air venue not far ahead. There, noble men and women were dancing to the rhythm of the music, and there was laughter and joy in the air.

"You are a persistent guy." Luka raised his head and looked up at the sky. At least this time he could finally talk to an old friend, even though they were so irreconcilable in the past. "Or you are a stupid guy, willing to give up everything you have for a woman. You know, you had a very good future."

Levi didn't say anything. He just looked at everything in front of him. It was so full of vitality. He himself had been away from such an upper-class life for too long.

Luca turned around and looked carefully at Levi beside him. The gap between him and himself was so huge, it was simply a world of difference.

Look at yourself, your clean and tidy cheeks, clean and tidy clothes, and gorgeous decorations prove your absolute status in the upper society.

Look at Levi again. Only a few years later, he became like a homeless person on the street. He lost his noble status, fine clothes and delicious food, and no followers. When Luca was thriving, he became more and more decadent and finally became like everyone else.

Luga wanted to laugh at him, but looking at his unshaven and weathered face, he couldn't open his mouth.

"I love her, just like I love God fanatically, but God has never shown mercy to me and has never paid attention to me for a moment." Levi said, taking out a wooden cross from his clothes. It was just an ordinary cross, so ordinary that an ordinary citizen could easily get it.

However, he held this very ordinary object tightly in his hand, as if he had found a treasure.

"She gave it to you?" Luca looked at the cross in Levi's hand curiously.

Levi didn't know how to answer. He turned around and looked at Luca with a meaningful look in his eyes. He seemed to be wondering how to answer Luca's question. He nodded hesitantly.

"She gave me this when I was in Ludinan." Levi looked at the cross in his hand and said to Luca thoughtfully, "She told me that I should believe in God and become his firm believer. She also told me to be kind, but I didn't do it. My love for her is so strong that I feel extremely happy when I see her, even if I am just watching from afar."

This fool who was willing to do anything for love made Luca unsure whether to ridicule or praise him.

"She just wants you to believe in God wholeheartedly and forget her." Luga asked tentatively. He even began to feel fortunate that he was still deeply loved, but somehow, Luga's nose felt sore and a tear flowed out uncontrollably. It did not obey Augustus's command and flowed down, forcing Luga to turn his face away to a dark corner and wipe away the tears in a flash. No, he could not let Levi see that he had a passionate side.

It’s like Augustus couldn’t let his subjects know what he likes and dislikes, it was like a weakness, a handle.

A king should be as majestic as a god in front of his subjects. A king is not the same as a mortal, so he cannot have the weaknesses that mortals have. In addition to his limited life, a king is equal to restraint, restraining his own human nature in exchange for supreme majesty.

It's lonely at the top.

Luca kept reminding himself that it was like an ice cave in the far north, so cold that even the tears would freeze on his cheeks in an instant.

"Then I have a question." Levi held the cross tightly in his hand and looked at Luca. "This is the question I have been pursuing for many years. Where is she? Where did you hide her?"

Luca said nothing, and he didn't know how to start.

Levi's words brought out the memories that he immediately tried to conceal and that he managed to conceal from himself. He tried to forget them, but they kept ringing in his mind again.

"You'd better not know." Lu Jia trembled constantly. He tried his best to stay calm, but his pessimism spread more and more. "Forget her. It may be a little painful at the beginning."

"What?"

Levi's voice rose octaves. He turned around suddenly and grabbed Luga's collar and pressed him against the stone railing. Luga did not resist at all. He just looked at Levi quietly and silently endured Levi's anger.

"Why are you so selfish?" Levi said to Luca with gritted teeth. How much hatred did he have? "How is she? Is she alive and well? How did you treat her? No, yes, yes, you were busy with the war, how could you care about her? You don't love her at all, not at all!"

“That’s enough!”

Levi's impulsiveness angered Luga. This malnourished homeless man was no match for Luga, especially when he wasn't paying attention.

Luca punched Levi in ​​the face, and before he could react, he reached out and pushed him to the ground.

“Boom!”

Levi sat heavily on the ground, grimacing in pain.

"Where is she? Where is she!" Levi chased after her relentlessly and picked up the iron sword he had dropped on the ground.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this moment, Levi felt a chill on his neck. He turned around and saw Andrew, holding a sword against Levi's neck.

"I told you long ago, I knew you would come." Luka's voice came from him with his back to him. "I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still wandering around in the same place. It's really pitiful."

Levi failed, he knew he had failed, and perhaps he would regret it. If he had thrust his sword forward at that time, Luca might have become a corpse under his sword.

Now he could only grit his teeth and glare at Luga with an unwilling expression. Perhaps this could deceive himself and prove that he had tried.

"Over the years, I have learned a valuable lesson, which is to always have a backup plan." Luga still had his back to him, his words full of pride, like a winner.

"As for you"

When Luca said this, Andrew straightened his sword and used the blade to force Levi to raise his head, exposing his most vulnerable neck.

Andrew looked up at Luga, as if waiting for Luga's order to execute this troublesome assassin.

"You tried to kill me but failed. However, according to the charges, you deserve to die." Luca said, and he sobbed suddenly. The sound was like a sniffle. "But I am Augustus, and my orders are the highest law. I decided not to kill you, but to exile you."

"Aren't you afraid that I will come back?" Levi still insisted.

"No, if you go there, you won't come back." Luca said with a long sigh, "This is your dream and your last belief. I allow you to find her and give you the exact location. Go find her, find the one you love, and then accompany her. Don't let her feel lonely anymore."

Levi's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. Even Andrew felt something was wrong. He raised his head and said, "Caesar."

"Execute it!" Luga waved his hand, signaling Andrew and the other guards.

Augustus's order is the highest law. Andrew nodded slightly and helped the flattered Levi up.

"And," Luca added, "Tell him all the stories after he gets there." Luca still didn't look back.

Until Andrew took Levi away, Levi became like a docile sheep, even his steps became light and his expression was smiling.

Levi didn't notice that Luca turned around and glanced at him secretly at this time. Luca was already in tears.
