After coming out of Ravenna, Luga hurried back to his villa in Milan, where Sebastianus became Maximus's teacher, and the two old and young got along very happily.

Luga stood quietly outside the door, quietly peeking at them playing together, to Luga's surprise, Sebastianus was very fond of children, for this lonely man who was kept for revenge because of political changes, perhaps only the little Maximus in front of him could make him forget the hatred he was carrying.

Maximus had learned basic Latin vocabulary, and the two of them communicated very easily together. Sebastianus patiently taught Maximus and taught him the word "father" by pointing to the painting painted on the wall.

Luga looked at the painting on the wall, which depicted a heavily armed Roman general holding an eagle banner beckoning to the soldiers behind him, while the apparently short barbarians he had killed in an instant fled in all directions, and the army was crushed.

"That's your father!" Sebastianus pointed to the Roman general holding the eagle banner on the wall, and said to the young Maximus, but Maximus could not understand, his eyes were full of puzzlement, who would have thought that the so-called "father" was just a painting on the wall so unreal.

For some reason, Luga, who was hiding outside, began to be a little jealous of Sebastianus. He unconsciously envied such an ordinary life, just like he had dreamed of, living an ordinary life with the woman he loved and loved him, but now the current situation made him have to give up everything he wanted.

"I can't let anyone else know they're here!" Lu Jia said to himself secretly, turned around and left, after all, he has too many enemies now, just like the movie "Gladiator" he saw at that time, even if he commanded thousands of troops and horses, in the end he couldn't even protect his family, so what's the point of having so much reputation or something?

The best way to protect them now is to stay away from them, keep a certain distance from them, and let yourself not have weaknesses, even if Maximus does not know that he is his real father!

Luga thought to herself, and couldn't help but take one last look at Maximus, wanting to turn away, but she didn't want to collide with Tenea.

Fortunately, Luga quickly covered Tenaia's mouth, so that he did not make a noise that alarmed others.

"Oh my God, why won't you say hello to me here?" Tenaia looked at Luga suspiciously, and then was pulled by Luga to a place where there was no one.

"What? Why is it so sneaky! Tenaia was very surprised, wondering why Luga was so nervous.

"I don't understand why." Luga clasped Tenaia's arms tightly with both hands, frowned, and said to Tenaia, "I always have a bad premonition. ”

"What, what are you talking about?" Tenaia looked at Luga seriously, and couldn't help complaining: "You have come back for so long, and you don't tell anyone, just like a thief at the door, what do you mean by doing this?" ”

"No, I don't have anything else in mind!" Seeing that Tenaia was a little agitated, Luga hurriedly stretched out his head and imprinted it on Tenaia's lips like a dragonfly.

"Oh!" Tenaia sighed lightly, and the tangled expression on her face was like asking, "Why is this happening?" ”

"Listen to me, my dear!" Luga said solemnly, "I must ensure your safety, so I can't stay here, I still have some important things to deal with." ”

"What matters!" Tenaia looked up into Luga's eyes, as if questioning.

"Nope! It's nothing! Luga didn't know what to say, and he didn't understand what he was avoiding. Listen, there are some things I may have to tell me, I'm in a lot of trouble right now, Tenaia! Luga shook her head at Tenaia and said, "A lot of people want to kill me because I've threatened them, but now they haven't succeeded, so I have to keep you safe." ”

"What's going on?" Tenaia was startled by Luga's sudden seriousness, and she stared at Luga with wide eyes.

"Such. Oops, I can't explain it to you anyway! The thought of what Lickinia had said to him at that time upset him, so many things piled up together can really make a person breathless, let alone such a serious problem.

"So where should we go?" Tenaia looked a little flustered, at least because of Maximus, her precious son.

"Let's go to Nar." Lugarth thought about it, and finally decided that it was safer there, at least far away from any danger, and happened to be in the closest place to his sphere of influence, if anything went wrong, he could send troops to protect it in the shortest possible time.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Tenaia nodded heavily, it seems that she is very obedient to Luga, which also makes Luga feel a little relieved, at least it is good to be able to let Maximus grow up under his own protection, but I hope that I can also live to that moment!

Luga didn't have much time to stay, even if it was good to stay for a moment in such a peaceful life. He had to lead his army north, and after a two-month trek along the road, he finally came to the banks of the Rhine.

At this time, in Agrippina, there was smoke everywhere, and there were almost no pedestrians on the roads leading in all directions, and there were no people in the villages along the way, and there were traces of fire and plunder.

"It seems that the migration of the barbarians is getting more and more serious!" Andrew said as he tightened his cloak tightened, and couldn't help but tremble, "Today is strange, it should have been past the time of snow, why is it still so cold?" ”

"The priest said it was because of Attila's arrival!" Sebastianus said unhurriedly: "Since Attila's fame spread everywhere, the weather has become colder and colder, and the priest said that this is God's warning to us, because the believers in the mortal world are no longer pure in their faith in God, so God is not pleased, and the release of the demon is Attila." He is the whip of God against all ungodly and impure believers. ”

"It's all a set of meaningless rhetoric!" Luga turned around and said, "It's good to talk about these things, but don't take them seriously!" ”

In Agrippena, Arecio, who greeted Luga and them, had not seen an old friend in years, and a group of people embraced each other happily.

To everyone's surprise, Arecio took off his mask and grew his beard, as if he had accepted his new self for his appearance.
