Chapter 26 Rome

Like most modern people, Lin Tianyu did not have much opportunity or experience in riding horses in his life. Apart from riding a few times when he was traveling to Inner Mongolia, he only rode a donkey in his hometown and camels when he took photos. Therefore, when he faced a tall horse without stirrups, he was very worried.

But in the end he climbed up. Although he was still a little nervous, he felt very proud of the horse's stroll forward.

Apius was slightly better than him. After all, he was a person living in this era. He had a little more experience in riding a horse, but it was very limited. For this reason, the two had to stop and stop all the way. Fortunately, the road was still flat and not very hard. Lin Tianyu put both canvas bags on Apius's horse, and only the bag with weapons was hanging on his horse. The two walked along a dirt road towards Rome, and there was no danger along the way.

For a modern person, this kind of horse riding experience was almost unimaginable in the past, and the pastoral beauty of ancient Rome also made Lin Tianyu very happy. Therefore, Lin Tianyu always walked this journey with an interesting mood.

Rome is already harvesting season. You can see many civilians and slaves harvesting crops on both sides of the road. They are all wearing simple and tattered clothes, some are simply naked and wrapping their crotch with only a linen. The difference between the two can be seen from their expressions. Most of the slaves' faces are numb, while the civilians look relatively enthusiastic and full of joy of harvest.

Sometimes you can also see other pedestrians. The roads in Rome are relatively flat, and at least they are very suitable for traffic without rain. The closer they get to Rome, there will be more and more pedestrians on the road, mostly walking, and wealthy families may drive a carriage to take the harvested crops to the city for sale.

The two riding tall horses felt a little out of the crowd, especially Lin Tianyu, who was wearing strange clothes. His strange outfit and face that were always hidden under the hood were a bit mysterious. He felt the gazes coming from time to time, but Lin Tianyu was not too nervous. The Thomson submachine gun in his handbag and the two Colt revolvers on his waist were definitely invincible in this era, giving him a sense of transcendence, giving him a great sense of security, and giving him a feeling of looking down when he looked at the pedestrians around him.

This feeling is very wonderful. It can make a person extremely confident. This confidence is easily felt by others, so that Apius became more and more curious about the origin of Lin Tianyu.

When the two finally arrived at the city of Rome, Lin Tianyu had to sigh at the majesty of the city.

Although the tall city walls are not as exaggerated as the tall buildings in later generations, their majestic momentum and heavy sense of history are far from comparable to those of modern buildings built with cement and glass in later generations.

Lin Tianyu finally took off his hood. Now he looked up at the towering city gate and couldn't help but feel excited. He looked at the fully armed Roman soldiers, the bustling pedestrians, and the ancient Roman-style city gate sculptures, as if he was in a historical album.

Apius mistakenly took his excitement about witnessing history as a surprise to the city of Rome, and said proudly: "See it, this is the legendary city of Rome. It is the greatest city in the world. It has hundreds of thousands of residents here, more than many countries' citizens. It has the most prosperous markets and the oldest ruins. If you live in this city for a while, you will definitely like it."

Apius's proud face seemed to have built this city.

Lin Tianyu gradually calmed down from his excitement, but he just smiled faintly at Apius's words.

"Let's go, let's settle down at your house first. Your family must be anxious after being kidnapped for so long."

"They wish I could die."

Apius muttered in a low voice, and led the way as Lin Tianyu said. In order to avoid accidents, the two dismounted and walked into Rome with the bustling crowds. The hugeness of the city was obviously beyond Lin Tianyu's expectations. Although it was not as good as that of the big cities in later generations, due to the lack of effective means of transportation and the lack of traffic rules and traffic lights, the two walked for more than half an hour before they reached Apius' residence in the city.

Apius's home is a two-story small house, made of whole pieces of rock and mud bricks, and a small courtyard. Such a house in the city of Rome is not cheap. Therefore, although Apius didn't say anything, Lin Tianyu still saw a hint of pride in his face.

When the two walked into the door nailed with walnut, a young girl who was washing clothes appeared in front of them.

The beautiful girl was stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed into Apius' arms like a bird coming out of the forest. "Oh thank goodness, father, you are finally back!"

Apius also looked a little excited, "I'm back, of course I'm back, don't worry, no one can deal with me in this family."

He said as if he remembered something, "Ah, I almost forgot, let me introduce you to this, this is my daughter, Alexiya, the kind-hearted man who saved me from the pirates--the Heavenly Words."

Only then did Alexiya notice Lin Tianyu wearing weird clothes. She gave Lin Tianyu a little shyly, "Thank you for saving my father."

Unlike the common tall and large appearance of modern Western women, probably because they do not eat like the high-calorie and high-fat recipes of modern people. Alexia looks very petite and slim. She has a very ancient Greek beauty, wheat-colored skin and long chestnut-colored curly hair. If she could wear a suitable and beautiful dress, Lin Tianyu believed that she could definitely package the classical beauty she thought was rare, but the slightly bloated robe she was wearing at this time completely destroyed this beauty - people of this era obviously did not have any decent clothes.

Alexia was obviously even more curious about Lin Tianyu. This guy wearing a cloak was very tall (the ancient Romans were generally short in height) and the face that was always hidden in the cloak seemed particularly mysterious. When Lin Tianyu finally took off his hood, Alexia almost screamed out loud. She had never seen someone with such a strange appearance.

After a day, the two of them were already hungry. Apius asked Alexia to prepare some food for the two of them, and then pulled Lin Tianyu to an uninhabited room.

"I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, friend, what is your purpose in coming to Rome with me? Can you tell me?"

Lin Tianyu fell into deep thought when he heard Apius's question. The other party's words reminded him of a question that he had always troubled him. What exactly does it mean to travel in time and space? Or what benefits can he get from such a magical event that was unprecedented for him.

Whether to just witness those civilizations that have disappeared, be a simple traveler and witness, or to use the gaps in science to reap wealth and become a rich man in reality, or to simply live in these ancient times and use the modern knowledge he has to build great achievements, he never came up with a perfect answer to this question, or he could never be sure what he wanted to get.

So when Apius asked this question, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
