After staying in ancient Rome for more than two months, Lin Tianyu finally prepared to go home.

The old emperor's weapon upgrade plan ultimately failed. Although the local quenching solution provided by Lin Tianyu can indeed increase the lethality of the weapon, the old emperor found that this new weapon was extremely cumbersome and difficult to guarantee the quality. It is definitely not easy to dress up a legion of 5,000 people.

Moreover, this weapon is contrary to the combat ideas of the Roman legion. When fighting at close range, Roman soldiers often squeeze into groups, blocking the opponent's frontal attack with shields, and then stabbing the enemy at close range with a short sword. Although the new weapon is sharper, longer in length, and can chop, it is not conducive to this close range battle.

Therefore, in the end, the old emperor chose to recycle all the Roman daggers and partially quenched the sword tips, improving his assassination ability, but did not cast new weapons on a large scale.

However, even so, Lin Tianyu was still commended by the old emperor and asked him more questions about weapon casting.

Lin Tian couldn't finish his words. There were many plots about casting weapons in the historical fiction novels he had read before. He still remembered some of them. In addition, he blew up some of his imagination, which made the old emperor highly appreciated him and gave him a lot of ancient Roman gold coins as rewards.

Lin Tianyu put these gold coins and the gold he exchanged back in two boxes, which weighed 120 to 30 kilograms in total. It was difficult for him to carry it alone. Fortunately, Alex had completely recovered his strength after a month of cultivation. It was nothing to have him, a strong man, helping these two boxes.

During the period when Alex recovered, Lin Tianyu was not idle. He learned to ride a horse. Although there were no stirrups that made him dare not run with all his might, he basically would not fall off.

He also asked Alex for some fighting skills. He practiced it while he had nothing to do, but he could pass some time.

Finally, half a month after Alex's illness recovered, Lin Tianyu decided to go home. He had already sacked enough money and hired a qualified guard. It was no longer interesting for him to continue staying there.

So on a quiet morning, Lin Tianyu was on the road to his hometown. He bought a carriage and took care of an old coachman. The two of them put the boxes in the carriage. He and Alex also sat on the carriage. As for the precious gems, he placed them in one of his canvas bags. Most of the food brought from modern times had been eaten up, and the remaining ones were given to Alexa. Therefore, on the way back, he prepared a lot of food from this era.

Whole wheat bread, dry and hard jerky, pure wine in mineral water bottles, and some olives for snacks are also piled in the carriage.

Because he didn't want to attract attention, when Lin Tianyu left, only Apius and his daughter Alexia saw him off. Alexia seemed to have something to say to him, but in the end he didn't say it.

On the contrary, Apius was always a little confused about Lin Tianyu spending a lot of money to buy a gladiator as a guard. Even before leaving, he did not forget to hint that he should be careful of Alex. Lin Tianyu just smiled at this and did not explain anything.

Considering that he has a large net worth and the public security of this era is not very good, Lin Tianyu was very nervous when he first left the Roman city gate.

He put the Thomson submachine gun beside his legs and stared at him vigilantly. Under his influence, Alex became nervous. During this period, the ancient pine-patterned sword that he couldn't put down was held in his arms, ready to join the battle at any time, but until he gradually couldn't see the city of Rome, nothing unexpected happened.

"It seems that we have finally left Rome," Lin Tianyu looked at the Roman wall that disappeared behind the hillside and said with some emotion, "I will go home soon."

"You seem to be in a hurry to go home?" Alex asked suddenly.

"That of course, people always miss homesick."

"I never want to," Alex sighed suddenly, "My home is in a small village on the Roman border, and is very close to the aliens. From what I can remember, there have been constant wars and plunders. We fought against all kinds of aliens, killing me and I killing you. The hatred has spread for generations. This situation continued until His Majesty the Emperor led a large army to sweep the alien tribes in that area. For this reason, I and some people in the village joined his army."

"Do you respect your emperor very much?"

"Yes," Alex looked a little low, "but I disappointed him. I once vowed to kill all the aliens, but in the end I found that they were actually the same as us. Looking at the innocent eyes of those children, I felt like a butcher, and those past honors became dim. I was in a dilemma. Killing innocent people would make me feel unbearable, but disobeying orders would make the emperor disappoint. Choosing between children and emperors is sometimes not an easy task."

"But you ended up choosing children, even though they were not as powerful as the emperor, and they could not give you anything, tell me Alex, what would you do if you were asked to choose again?"

Alex shook his head: "I don't know, sometimes I feel confused because it seems to be wrong no matter what I do."

"Are you wrong?" Lin Tianyu suddenly remembered some of the things Max said to him, "You did not do anything wrong. The reason why you feel confused is that you were born in the wrong era. As long as you reach the era you should go to, you will find that you can actually do a lot of amazing things."

Alex looked a little confused, obviously not understanding Lin Tianyu's meaning, but he still expressed his gratitude to Lin Tianyu for his comfort.

Lin Tianyu smiled and said nothing.

After two days of trek, the carriage finally arrived at Harbornas Port.

After helping to remove the two boxes, the coachman looked at Lin Tianyu eagerly, looking forward to his reward.

Lin Tianyu glanced at the honest coachman and suddenly rushed to the scene of teasing the other party: "Oh, it's broken now, I forgot to bring the money, what should I do now?"

He smiled and looked at the coachman, watching the coachman's face turn from red to white, from white to red. The coachman wanted to get angry, but after looking at Alex and the sword in his hand, he could only lower his head helplessly.

"Since I don't have money on me, then use this carriage as your hard work."

"What!?" The coachman was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Tianyu in disbelief, and looked at the carriage again. It was a carriage with two good horses. You should know that a horse is a considerable wealth in Rome, and two horses and one carriage were much more than his current wealth.

"You heard it right, old man, it's yours now." Lin Tianyu patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Lin Tianyu was very satisfied with the effect he had caused. He brought incredible surprises to others with something he didn't need, making him feel that he was a generous and free person (in a sense he did).

Seeing the driver happily rushing back to Rome, Lin Tianyu smiled and shook his head, and gestured to Alex, who was surprised, "Come on, man, we still have a way to go."

Lin Tianyu bought a small boat in the port, which was about the same size as the one he drove when he last came. He brought enough food and water, and then took Alex on the ship and left the port.

He knew a little bit about sailing. After all, he had been a fisherman for two months and learned some from Ule when he came to Rome, and Alex could also help, so he could get it.

He first walked along the coast for a long time, and according to the reference object he found when he came last time, he began to sail south in the afternoon, and the wind was calm all the way. On the evening of the third day, he finally saw the outline of the island from afar.

Thank God, Lin Tianyu finally did not take the wrong path, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still very nervous when sailing. Although he had a compass to distinguish the direction and all his actions were done in the opposite direction when he came, he was still very nervous. After all, with the navigation technology of this era, if he encountered a storm or something, he would definitely be buried at the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, the journey was going smoothly, and now he is finally home, but it is not the time to be glad, because the sun is gradually sinking into the sea, so it is not easy to land in the dark night.

At this moment, Apius suddenly patted Lin Tianyu on the shoulder, "Sir, I think we are in trouble."

Lin Tianyu turned around and found a dark cloud symbolizing the storm and thunderstorm in the distance pushing towards him, as if it was a cloud wall across the sea.

"I think we have to speed up!" Lin Tianyu said while picking up the cable.
