Conquering the Heavens: Beginning at Hogwarts

Chapter 78 Intrigue in Rome

Mirror Rome.

A one-to-one replica of the Roman city, or, this is a city that has continued to this day.

at least,

Pender didn't feel the undead, or traces of machinery.

The people here look like they are alive and not hallucinations.

"It's amazing, has this city continued to this day?" Pender asked casually,
But the strange thing is that the captain of the guard beside him did not answer, but pointed to the tallest building in the center of the city and said, "Your Highness, that is the central square of the city of Rome, and the elders are waiting for you in the council hall."

Pan De glanced at him, but Mo didn't look at himself, apparently avoiding the question.

"Let's go." Pender didn't dwell on this question,
In his opinion, this guy didn't show his loyalty to him at all, he was just a temporary "one of his own".

"Who is he? There are stormtroopers guarding him."

"I heard that he is the newly appointed consul, and he looks so young."

"It's not just young, it's still a child, right?"

"Stop talking, be careful to make adults unhappy."

Due to the escort of the guards, Pender's journey was extremely high-profile,
Pedestrians chattered on both sides, but it didn't affect Pan De,

but,

One thing Pender noticed was that these soldiers would push away the civilians blocking the road. Although there was no show of arrogance, it was always bad.

After all, their every move now represents themselves.

Pan De frowned slightly, and said to Mo: "Order them not to interfere with other civilians. Let's walk in two lines next to them."

He didn't ask the soldiers to apologize. After all, the environment is different. In Rome, honor is inviolable.

These civilians are not all citizens of Rome. For them, it is right to avoid the soldiers as soon as they see them. The soldiers push them, which is considered gentle.

So Pan De just ordered to avoid, don't harass, and didn't reprimand the soldiers.

"Yes."

Mo bowed his head and replied, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he turned around and ordered the soldiers to change their formation and march towards the square from the right side of the road.

Just after Pan De gave the order, the eyes of the two men beside the street flashed,
One of them said to the other: "Go and report to the elders, this new consul is not easy, the first plan failed, be careful."

"Understood." Man No. [-] turned around and disappeared into the alley.

Only man No. [-] is still setting up a stall on the side of the road.

Sure enough, there are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames,
The names of the City of Seven Hills and the Eternal City are well-deserved.

Although it is a mirror image of Rome, but this one-to-one replica is the real city of Rome.

Pande did not see the walls of the city of Rome, but he saw three hills near the center, Palatine, Capitolino and Esquilino.

In the middle of these three hills is the most important area in the center of Rome, the Roman Forum.

In the recorded Roman Forum, the main site is about 134 meters long and 63 meters wide.
From the end of the Republic to the Empire period, the square is surrounded by temples, synagogues, Senate chambers, triumphal arches, and memorial columns, etc., and is constantly expanding.

In this mirrored Rome, the main site of the square is twice as large as the original, and there are countless temples, synagogues, commemorative columns, triumphal arches, etc., and there is even a forest of commemorative columns.

"Your Highness, this is the Roman Forum in the center of Rome. Please allow me to introduce you." Mo stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly to Pan De.

"Ah."

Approved, Mo stood up, pointed aside,
"To the north and east of the Roman Forum are squares named after emperors, the largest of which is His Majesty Trajan's Square,
"Comprised of markets, synagogues, libraries, monumental columns and temples, it is majestic in weather and exquisite in architecture, representing the highest level of Roman architecture.

"You can see here that the tallest statue belongs to His Majesty Trajan."

Pan De looked in the direction that he could not point to. To the northeast, there was a 30-meter-tall bronze statue. The face of the statue was exactly the same as the one Pan De saw on the ceiling painting of the old house.

"Then there is the Colosseum, which stands not far southwest of the Roman Forum, which takes the form of an amphitheater and can accommodate 5 spectators inside.

"The gladiatorial fight is held once a week, and the next one will be in three days. If Your Highness wants to go, you can tell me in advance, so that you can make arrangements for His Highness.

"In addition, there are hundreds of temples, theaters, libraries, stadiums, baths, and large-scale aqueducts in the city, all of which are very spectacular.
"Oh, by the way, you can also see a large library not far away. It was a building that was reproduced according to the Library of Alexandria. The collection of books inside is the most complete in Rome, and it is open to citizens and civilians."

"The Royal Palace is built on the Palatine Hill, including a large number of halls, bathrooms, velodrome, theater, etc. We also have a grand theater at the foot of the Palatine Hill. It also performs once a week, and you can watch the gladiators in the morning. Watch a play tonight."

As Mo said, he stopped in his tracks, and made a please gesture to Pan De,
"We arrived at His Highness, and I and the two deputy commanders followed the route. Soldiers are not allowed to enter the chamber."

Pan De turned his eyes back from the distant temples and palaces,
The meeting hall in front of him was huge, as big as two football fields. Pan De didn't understand why a senate meeting hall should be so big. Are there so many things for them to discuss?

"Let's go."

Pan De had just taken two steps, before he stepped up the steps, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

He didn't move, didn't even look at the guards,
"Is the Senate just playing this kind of trick? It's none of your business, guards. For the sake of your family, I won't kill you."

Pan De spoke calmly, but the murderous aura around him continued to condense.

The blood visible to the naked eye floated in the air, and even Mo, who had experienced countless battles, trembled in fear.

Not to mention the two guards, they were just the standing army in the city, they had never been on the battlefield at all, they were immediately frightened by Pender, they hurriedly lowered their heads and moved out of the way, never daring to stop them again.

Pan De nodded slightly to the two, and walked up the stairs.

Seeing this, Mo and the other two commanders felt a lot more in awe of Pan De,

After all, these fighters respect the strong from the bottom of their hearts, and the strong who can treat the weak without arrogance and equality should not be too popular in Rome.

Just like this, Mo, who was still waiting and watching, had a little thought of submitting.

But right now, it was only a trace. He needed to be responsible to his family and other members of the stormtroopers, so he still needed to see if Pender was worth it.

Come to the gate of the council hall,
The meeting hall is really big. The gate alone is five meters high, and it is the kind of double-opening stone gate.
The marble used is carved with many complex and beautiful patterns, which makes the stone gate look thick without losing its beauty and flexibility.

But, this fine door,
now,

It is closed.
