Roman Slave Owner

At this moment, he was frowning and flipping through a thick book called "Holy Scripture".

This book was left by the chief priests who came to the banquet, and at the same time there was a commission to do.

"Caesar, what are you doing?"

At some point, Aetius sat beside him.

"You haven't gone back yet?"

Caesar said casually.

"Wait a while before leaving."

said Aetius.

"The chief priest asked me to talk to the general about the holy religion."

Caesar said a little annoyed.

"What's wrong with the holy religion?"

Aetius asked curiously.

"Recently, the holy religion has developed too fast, and he said that some aspects of the holy religion's teachings are not very good. He asked me to ask Li Wei if he would like to reform the teachings, or integrate the true god into Roman mythology."

Caesar said.

"Has the holy religion developed so fast?"

Aetius asked curiously.

"yes."

Caesar said.

After returning for a while, he did notice a change in Rome.

There are many missionaries of the Holy Cult on the streets. They often recruit passers-by to join the Holy Cult. Many poor citizens have joined the Holy Cult under various temptations.

This made the chief priest very dissatisfied, especially after knowing the teachings of the holy religion, once the holy religion developed, there would be no place for them.

"Then what are you going to do?"

asked Aetius.

"Find an opportunity to talk to General Levi."

Caesar said.

"Okay then, you can watch it first, and I'll go back first."

said Aetius.

Caesar asked a maid to see him off, and he concentrated on reading the "Holy Canon", but his brows were tightly frowned after reading it.

There was a long queue at a church in the Suburra district, which had been going on for a long time.

Because the church distributes free wheat porridge and black bread every morning, which is very popular among poor citizens and homeless people.

The prices in Rome are too expensive, and it is not easy to find a job. Those powerful and wealthy people are more inclined to hire slaves, and every year, a large number of Romans who lose their land due to natural disasters and man-made disasters flock to Rome. This made life more difficult for the poor in Rome.

"Hurry up, Menenius, or it will be our turn to be late."

Bruttim said loudly in the team.

Menenius limped and tried to speed up. Although the Charity Salvation House would provide them with food, that little food only saved people from starving to death, and it was impossible to eat enough.

So both Menenius and Bruttim had to do everything possible to obtain food. After breakfast, they would rush to this church as quickly as possible to receive another free breakfast.

Because of his slow speed,

Every time Brutium arrives first.

"Hey, my friend, can you let him join the team? He is a veteran who was wounded in the war. You see how pitiful he looks, and now he can only live on a little poor food."

Brutium said to a poor man standing behind him.

The pauper glanced at Menenius, and finally nodded in agreement.

"All right."

"Come here quickly."

Brutium said.

Menenius thanked the poor man and stood behind Brutium.

In the distance, Memius is clad in armor and a white cloak with a black cross on it.

He finally became an honorable crusader centurion, and because he heard that some big men were coming today, he and some crusaders were called here to maintain order.

Originally, Li Wei wanted to use a red cross, but the red paint was too expensive to use, so he had to use black instead.

Like those soldiers in the Roman army in Hollywood blockbusters who have red capes at every turn is simply deceiving, it is only done for better visual effects.

He came over frowning and said to Menenius, "Why did you cut the queue?"

"Sir, he is a veteran who was wounded in the war, so please pity him."

Bruttim said hastily.

Memius gave Menenius a majestic look, "Is that so?"

"Yes."

Menenius said.

"In which war were you wounded?"

"During the attack on Athens, I was shot through the leg by an arrow."

"Are you a soldier of Sura?"

"Yes."

Memius' complexion improved a lot immediately, and then he said seriously: "So it's like this, the true God will treat every believer mercifully, and I allow you to jump in the queue in the future."

"It's really nice."

Bruttim said, and looked at Menenius enviously after speaking.

Menenius was also very touched. He had rarely felt this kind of concern since he owed usury.

"Thank you."

Menenius said.

"May God bless you."

Memius made the sign of the cross on his chest.

"God bless."

"God bless."

"..."

The people around said reverently, even Menenius was no exception.

"By the way, why haven't we started distributing food yet?"

At this time someone asked.

"This is not clear."

Memius said, and left here after speaking.

"Do you think there is something wrong today? You see a lot of crusaders. There shouldn't be any big shots coming."

Brutium said.

Menenius nodded. It would be good if there were two or three crusaders to maintain order. Today, there are more than 20 crusaders in their line of sight, which is too many.

"Probably."

Not long after, Li Wei and little Li Wei with makeup appeared in front of the cauldron.

In order to avoid recognition, Levi not only wore a wig, but also glued on a beard and beard, and also created a scar on his face.

If you are not an acquaintance, you will not recognize it at all.

"Okay, let's start."

Levi said.

He took the broken bowl from an old woman at the front of the line and filled it with wheat porridge.

"Thank you very much."

The old lady smiled until her eyes were narrowed. There was so much porridge today, there was never so much before.

"May God bless you."

Levi said.

"May God bless you."

The old woman said quickly.

"Still wondering what to do, don't rush to give the bread to others."

Li Wei said to the little Li Wei on the side.

Little Li Wei pouted, gave a piece of black bread to the old woman, and said dissatisfiedly, "Is this the game you mentioned?"

"Yeah, I'm taking you to experience life. I want to let you know that many people in this world don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. The weather is still warm now. In winter, whether it's windy or snowing, the sky won't be bright. Many people will wait here just for a meal.”

Li Wei said with a serious face.

Little Li Wei stared blankly at those people queuing up. Are there so many poor people in this world?

"Thank you, young master, may God bless you."

said the old woman, with a sincere smile on her face.

Little Li Wei nodded subconsciously, then picked up the black bread and handed it to a homeless man behind.

"What is the meaning of life?"

Levi asked.

Little Li Wei shook his head, how could he understand such a profound question at such a young age.

"Assuming you can control the life and death of many slaves, do you think this is powerful?"

Levi asked.

Little Li Wei nodded, isn't this strong?

"No, that's not called being powerful. In the ancient East, there was a saying that the benevolent is invincible. Many people don't understand it, and think it's a joke. There is also a saying in the "Holy Canon" that God loves the world. You know why?"

Levi said.

Little Li Wei shook his head, he couldn't understand what his father was saying at all.

Li Wei was busy adding porridge to people's rice bowls, while organizing the language.

The phrase “God loves the world” was actually said by Jesus. Those who have read the Old Testament will understand that the God of the Jews is very strict and always brings disasters on people.

Jesus improved this. He said that God loves the world, adding a merciful image to God, and paying attention to redemption. Since then, Christianity has far surpassed Judaism and has become one of the three major religions in the world.

In later generations, XX cannot be preached, and even more so, he often talks about the most benevolent, the most benevolent XX, and there is also the content of teaching fellow-citizens to help each other.

In Buddhism, there is a cup of compassion, and the Buddha said that he cut his flesh to feed an eagle, and the most popular among the Buddhist gods is probably the cup of great mercy, the suffering Avalokitesvara.

We can see that the three most successful religions all have an image of benevolence, and Confucianism also often emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, and it even says that it governs the world with filial piety. These are also a kind of love.

Love is at the heart of any of these successful religions or philosophies.

When Taoism was at its most vigorous, they often helped each other, but now hehe...

"Man is a life longing for love, so he cannot refuse to be loved."

Levi said, "If you know how to care and love others, then you are very powerful, and this is the meaning of life."

In order to correct little Li Wei's psychology, Li Wei also tried his best.

If someone sees this, someone will call me bullshit and want to pour chicken soup.

But this is psychology, and if psychology counts as science, then it is science.

Many mentally ill people in later generations lost the ability to care for others. They thought they were weak and powerless, and had no ability to care for others. Little did they realize that this was the most important reason for their own illness.

When you think you're incapable of caring about other people, you really become insensitive, you really become a psychopath.

Only by knowing how to care for others and caring for others can we get rid of all this.

Throughout religion, Confucianism, and psychological theory, love is a very core part.

Of course, later generations of western white leftists have played off and taken love to extremes. Once anything is extreme, it is wrong, so sometimes the golden mean really makes sense.

But little Li Wei didn't understand what Li Wei was talking about at all, and Li Wei realized that he was a little anxious at this time.

"Remember, if what you do is meaningful to other people and to the country, then it is right. On the contrary, any negative thoughts are wrong."

Li Wei said as simply as possible.

Little Li Wei still looked dizzy, Li Wei shook his head, let's take it slowly.

"You will come here one day every month from now on."

Levi said.

Little Li Wei's face immediately collapsed, oh my god, why is it like this.

Memius, who was not far away, looked at all this in shock. That person was Li... Wei.

He couldn't be wrong, even with his makeup on, he could still recognize him as Levi.

How can this be?

How could he do such a thing.

Although he couldn't figure out why, it didn't affect his efforts to express himself.

I saw him with his chest up and his head up, inspecting the entire team, trying his best to nip all dangers in their cradle.

Caesar watched all this quietly from a distance, no wonder the Holy Cult developed so fast.

If their family is not a descendant of Venus, he will also appreciate the holy religion very much.

He has learned a lot about the Holy Cult these days. In the face of the Holy Cult, which is so strong in organization, is the Roman Polytheistic Church its opponent?

Thinking of this, Caesar had a gloomy expression on his face.

Quickly suppressing these thoughts, he walked towards Li Wei, and the secret guards stopped when they saw him.

They knew Caesar and knew that he had been Livi's adjutant.

"Take it, be careful not to spill it."

Levi filled Menenius's bowl with wheat porridge and said.

"Thank you, may God bless you."

Menenius said gratefully.

"General Li Wei, why are you here?"

Caesar said.

"Hey, Caesar, why are you here?"

Levi asked.

"I went to your house and they said you were here, so I came here."

"Is there a problem?"

"There is indeed a little thing."

"..."

Seeing the two leave here, Menenius was like a thunderbolt.

General Levi!

He actually called him General Levi!

"who is he?"

Bruttim asked little Li Weidao.

"He is my father, Lucius Posius Livi Jerusalemus Armenianus Pondunus."

Little Li Wei raised his chest proudly.

Snapped!

The bowl in Brutium's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, this is impossible, how could he come here to do such a thing with makeup.

"What did you say, let me reform the doctrine?"

Li Wei asked, frowning.

"That's right, this is what the chief priest meant. It would be best if the true god could be integrated into the Roman pantheon."

Caesar said.

Li Wei smiled slightly, how is this possible?

If he integrated into the Roman god system, why would he still establish the Holy Church?

"It's impossible. The true God told me that not a single word of the "Holy Canon" can be changed."

Li Wei shook his head and said.

"Can't you really think about it?"

Caesar asked.

"How can an oracle be questioned?"

Levi laughed.

Hearing this, Caesar knew there was nothing to talk about.

People have invited the oracle out, so what are you talking about?

"I will tell these words to the chief priest."

Caesar said.

"Tell him I'm sorry."

"OK."

Looking at the back of Caesar leaving in a hurry, you, who consider yourself a descendant of Venus, face the invasion of the Holy Church, how will you choose?

It's really exciting!

Time flies, winter goes to spring, and it is the second summer in a blink of an eye.

Serabio and Lucullus finally joined hands to become consuls, and Senas also became the admiral of Campania, which he was very proud of.

At this time, a far-reaching event happened in Capua.

In the Batiatus Gladiator Training School, Spartacus called the strongest gladiators of the Batiatus family, Kress, Castus, Ganix, Onomamus and Ixion.
