Chapter 467: The Return

"Time is running out for us, and Augusta's letters are one after another, and it seems that she can't wait to see me."

Luga sat at his desk, in front of him roll after roll of parchment, which averaged once a month, all signed by Augusta.

"She must have been in a hurry, or rather, she couldn't wait to get rid of me." Luga was alone, but soon he denied the second statement.

He kept tapping his fingers on the table to make a "dang dang" sound, such a sound and action could show how anxious he was in his heart. This strange Gala. Plasettia, just urging, not saying what the hell is the cause?

Why hide it? Is it fearing something? Lu Jia faintly felt that there was a trace of uneasiness, it must have been the great changes that had taken place in the Purple Room in the past few years since he was away.

"Luga." Before leaving, Andrew asked Luga, "Just left, aren't you afraid that this guy who betrayed Kevin will betray us by the same means?" ”

"Of course not!" Luga looked back at Andrew with a smile, his smile sly, as if he was hiding some shocking secret, and said unhurriedly, "I swear, he will not betray, at least until he gets over his fears." ”

This was a profound statement, Andrew couldn't understand it for a while, and when he wanted to ask again, Luga just smiled and shook his head and didn't explain too much. It's as if this has become a mystery, a mystery that can't be solved for a long time.

"What about the kid?" Andrew couldn't help but ask, "Did he just let it go?" Luga, don't forget whose son he is, and what a terrifying reputation he has. ”

"Oh, forget about this kid, Andrew." Luga smiled and waved at Andrew and said, "We've got everything we could have in Britannia, at least for now!" We don't need to care about anything else, we just go back and see what the hell is going on in the Purple Room. ”

The army finally ended the expedition, and of course the believers who had come in the name of God were not qualified to go back, and crossed the sea back to Agrippena, where Luga once again met Ana, who had been separated for nearly two years.

She didn't look very well, but fortunately, the service of big fish and meat made her look a lot fatter, and somehow, she was always depressed. When she saw Lujia, she also reciprocated with a symbolic smile, which made Lujia, who had been separated from her for a long time, feel very uncomfortable.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Ana?"

Luga was puzzled and asked her, but Anai just shook his head and smiled at Luga, "Oh no, dear, I'm fine." ”

Naturally, Luga would not believe such perfunctory words, and her eyes were full of sorrow when she looked at Anais, who was always used to sitting in front of the window and staring blankly at the street below. There is always a child's laughter here, and Anai is always able to smile when she sees young children chasing each other in the streets below.

Luga could understand what this meant, and he had to be helpless about Ana's current thoughts, he was not omnipotent, and he couldn't do anything.

"I've always wanted a baby, Luga, a baby that belongs to me." As she spoke, tears welled up in Ana's eyes, and she hurriedly avoided the past and secretly wiped away her tears. "But I can't, you know, God deprived me of the ability to procreate, I can't have children that belong to me."

Looking at the crying Anais, Lujia had no choice but to step forward and hug her and let her cry in his arms. Luga didn't know what to do, such as fulfill such a small wish of Anais.

"Let's adopt a child!" Luga said in a deep voice, as if he had made a decision with great courage. Although Luga has the face of a Westerner, he is an Oriental inside

Anai looked up at Luga, she was not stupid and could see his reluctance in Luga's expression, but soon, the embarrassment on Luga's face disappeared and turned into a smile.

"Oh, no, no, dear." Anai shook her head and looked at Luga with a smile in her eyes, her eyes full of satisfaction.

A month later, when Luga returned to the streets of Ravenna, he was greeted by the townspeople, just as he had done at the beginning. The army came all the way to the royal palace in Ravenna, where they assembled at the meeting place in front of the gate.

Luga slowly stepped out of the carriage and was surprised at what he saw at first sight, because it was not Augustus Valentinian III who was standing in front of him, but Pope Leo.

Leo was dressed differently, dressed in fine gold thread, with silk straps draped over his shoulders and a tiara that looked like a crown, as if he were a veritable Augustus. With a gold jewel-encrusted cross on his chest and a golden scepter carved with a crucifixion in his hand, he stood in front of Luga surrounded by the clergy.

"Father!"

Luga hurriedly knelt down on one knee facing Leo, because he could already guess what Leo was now from Leo's dress.

"Father" is the name of the believer for a priest or a pope, and Luga still understands this, because he has vaguely felt that Leo I in front of him is no longer the pope, but the pope, the pope of the Roman Empire.

"Heh, use the merits I have gained in the bloody battles in Britannia, ask the Purple Room for merit in advance, and get this position." Luga knelt on the ground, and although it was difficult to disagree in his heart, Leo I was no longer what he used to be, and in terms of status, he was almost equal to Valentinian III or surpassed Augustus.

"Bless you, my child, great Roman general." Leo I smiled, like an apostle of God, and his gestures made people feel his high status. Leo I said as he slowly stepped forward and dipped the laurel branch in the golden bowl in his hand, and he took the holy oil handed by the priest beside him, poured it into the bowl, blended with the water in the bowl, and sprinkled the water little by little around Luga, representing that he would be bathed in the Holy Spirit.

At the end of the blessing ceremony, Luga slowly got up, only to see Leo I slightly sideways, Augustus Valentinian III standing behind Leo, and with him was Liquinia, who was holding a child who was only two or three years old, and was hiding behind her mother, staring at Luga timidly with a pair of big shining eyes. This made Luga completely unaware that Augustus was behind the pope, so it always felt a little inappropriate, but seeing that Valentinian III was willing to do this, Luga didn't say much.

"His Excellency Augusta has summoned me several times and asked me to return to Rome with him." Luga looked left and right, and then said, "But I didn't see Lord Augusta. ”

"Mother is sick." Valentinian III's face was solemn, and he continued: "Your Excellency Aetius is coming to Ravenna, and all the senators and nobles will come here to witness the new round of high legion. ”

"I see." Luga secretly foiled himself in his heart.
