I am not a knight, reborn as an old sword

In the same year, a few months after Arthur was born, in Rome, which is now the center of the European continent, the flames of war dissipated, leaving only the smell of gunpowder, making the glory of the eternal city dim again.

As the symbol of Rome, the eternal city that has experienced many generations of emperors is full of ruins and rubble, like a warrior in his twilight years. At this moment, Rome also shows its twilight posture.

In this era, and even in a period before that, only the emperor of Rome can be called an emperor in this European continent. The kings of other states, even if they call themselves emperors, are just a joke to be called emperors.

But now, the empire that has ruled the European continent for thousands of years has shown a decadent posture, and it has become a foregone conclusion that it can only survive by relying on the last shadow of its ancestors.

To become eternal, you must first defeat eternity.

But the Age of Gods also has a time to sum up, and the glory of eternity will eventually dissipate. It is unclear whether it will be this year, next year, or in the distant future.

Just like no one expected that Rome, which had ruled Europe for thousands of years, would be divided into two, even though the Pope said that it was a helpless decision made because the territory of Rome was too large and they were worried about being out of reach.

This is the will of the gods, the highest god remaining in the continent after the end of the current era of the gods, and the only god that extended from the end of the original era of the gods in the previous era.

No one knows when he was born, only that he came from heaven, no one knows what kind of ability he has, only that he is omnipotent, and no one has seen his true body with their own eyes, even the most loyal believers.

But they can be sure of each other's existence, as if the incarnations were born from the concepts in their hearts, old or young, tall or short, and finally reached unity and became the appearance of the statues.

The gods belonging to mankind, the gods born and passed down after the original gods of the planet returned to their roots and integrated the rules into the earth, are the current state religion of Rome and the largest religion on the European continent.

If religion is always right, then Aetius did not see whether the so-called rightness is for religion, the country or the people, and whether unity leads to decline and division leads to mutual benefit.

Today, apart from the power of the Church, the decline of Rome, and the twilight of the Eternal City, he saw nothing else. Even in the citizens of Rome, what he saw was not the will of Rome.

Rather, the glory of the Church was sucking the marrow of the two-headed eagle, soaring with the help of Rome's powerful wings. If it continued like this, it might end up like what Aetius' father, Gaudentius, said.

"When the old guys of our generation die, you will probably be the last of Rome."The last Roman, the only person who can drive the ultimate weapon in the city of Rome at the end of the legend. Only those with a Roman heart can control the ultimate weapon of Rome and ultimately drive the ritual Palatine.

The supreme treasure that remains in the city of Rome after the Blood of God, which is now the leading guardian, and the Battle Flag of the Seven Hills, which is responsible for command, have crossed to the east.

When the Visigoths besieged Rome not long ago, it was this treasure that forced the other side to retreat and won the final victory, but no one can be sure that they will win in the end.

Even Aetius, who was full of confidence in Imperial Rome, could not do so. He wanted Rome to continue, not only during his lifetime, so he had to learn and go to the Visigoths' garrison in person.

This is not a plea for mercy after failure, nor is it related to the high-profile overlooking after victory. It is just with his own eyes. See each other clearly, recognize each other's strengths, be tolerant and accept each other, this is Rome, and it is also the greatest charm of Rome.

Just like the city of Rome in front of you, even in its twilight years, it is still full of charm that makes people yearn for it, in the eyes of Aetius.

Rome is a beautiful city, where people live and work in peace and contentment, tolerate each other, regardless of race or distinction, whether you are a Frank, Celt, German, Greek or Persian, as long as you identify with Rome, we are friends.

This is the charm of this city. It can become a symbol of eternity not because of its power, but because of such tolerance that makes it eternal.

Even though the city of Rome itself is not large, it is only a small piece compared to the continent, but it has the breadth to encompass and accept the continent. Aetius likes this city. If he is a little greedier, he likes this country and Rome.

"If I can be the last, I hope to be the last turning point of the times."It is his honor to be the last Roman. Even in this era, not many young people in Rome remember the greatness of Rome.

Under the baptism of the Holy See, more young people believe in the truth that those who are different from me will die, and there is no other color besides"light". Where does the light come from?"I" is the light.

I always feel a little sad.

But if he is also light, will he be like them and can no longer see other extreme brightness except himself, or will he be like the sun in the sky, giving people the warm light they deserve even in the coldest months of winter?

With such doubts, Aetius left Rome, left this beautiful city, and headed towards the Visigothic tribe farther away, leaving the once majestic city of Rome still entrenched here.

It is tall and stable like a mountain, like an old father staring at his wanderer leaving home. I don't know if this old father will be full of vitality again when Aetius returns again.

I don't know, and no one knows.

No one can see the future of the city of Rome and the future of Rome, but we can know that now Rome is not optimistic, which is not uncommon in the entire European continent.

As long as you are in this era, as long as you are in this continent, Rome is an unavoidable point. No matter if you are a peddler, a civilian slave, as long as you have the ability to communicate, you will definitely know Rome.

Even if you are not familiar with it, you must have heard others talk about it. Even if you didn't mention it directly at the beginning, you will always mention Rome when comparing other races, other countries, and jurisdictions.

Like a benchmark of the times, the European continent is like a lighthouse, placed in the British Isles.

It may be because of the identity of the boss. After so many years, the memory is a little indifferent, but there are still quite a few people who still miss Rome when talking about it.

Arthur has never been to Rome, but the number of times he has heard of Rome is second only to the Anglo-Saxons and Picts, and compared with the previous two, they have more favorable comments on Rome.

He grew up in such an environment, but it is not considered grown up, because he is only five years old now. Five-year-old Arthur is already a half-grown child.
