Hunter
Chapter 37
When the door was opened again, Azazel had two glass test tubes with the same appearance in his hands. The only difference between them was the capacity of the liquid and body inside.Even if Allen was five or six meters away from Azazel, he could feel the dark energy contained in these two bottles of liquid and body.
Allen swallowed and asked, "What's in your hand?"
Azazel said: "What do you think? If you want to turn a white paper black, of course you need paint."
After speaking, Azazel came to Allen with two bottles, and Azazel picked up the bottle with more liquid and body and shook it in front of Allen.
Azazel said: "This bottle contains the undead of the Ninth Legion in Roman legend. These liquids and bodies contain their unwillingness, anger, despair and fear before death."
Allen said in surprise: "This is impossible. The Ninth Legion was wiped out by the Parthians in the Deselucian War in 165 AD. How could you collect their dead souls. Unless... .”
Azazel said proudly: "Unless I started the war, I remember that the kings at that time were very ignorant. I made up a few things that didn't exist, and the king actually believed me. I have to say that you humans How stupid."
Immediately afterwards, Azazel picked up the missing bottle of liquid and shook it in front of Allen.
Azazel said: "This bottle is the undead of the three tyrants of ancient Rome, Caligula, Nero, and Commodus. They are all the reasons for the collapse of ancient Rome. Caligula represents greed, and Nero Represents jealousy, Commodus represents laziness, coupled with the rage represented by the Ninth Legion, the lust, desire that humans are born with, and your own awakened gluttony..."
Allen added: "And the drop of blood you fed me back then, it represents arrogance."
Azazel said maliciously: "Seven kinds of sins, which one would you become a demon for? I'm very curious. Let's try it now."
Azazel pinched Allen's mouth and forced two bottles of liquid into it. After Allen screamed in pain, he fell into a coma completely, but because Allen was not in control of his body, Allen stood unconsciously like a scarecrow.
Azazel looked at the unconscious Allen, and said to himself, "It looks like we'll have to wait for a while."
Then Azazel randomly found a chair and sat on it, and took out a book from his arms. If Allen was still conscious, he must have cried out in surprise, because what Azazel was holding was the original version of "Divine Comedy" written by Dante.
Azazel read slowly:
Through me into the city of endless pain
Through me into the pit of eternal misery
Through me into the crowd of doomed people
is pushing my noble Creator
I am the crystallization of divine power, mind, and love
There was no eternal creation before me
I will be forever together
entrants must sever all hope
Arrogance is abstinence from pride - heavy punishment
Jealousy
Rage of Rage
Laziness is punished by laziness - running is punished
The precept of greed lies in greed - lying down and punishing
Gluttony is forbidden by delicacy - hunger is punished
Sexuality and desire to avoid sex - fire punishment
After an unknown amount of time, the comatose Allen suddenly began to scream, and then his eyes began to shed blood and tears. The blood and tears falling on the ground began to move along a certain shape, and finally formed a pattern of a hexagram with Allen in the center.Immediately after a 'coax', the flames began to spread upward along Allen's legs.
In just a few seconds, Allen turned into a Burning Man.After the fire ignited Allen for a while, Allen lightly raised his hand, and the flame went out instantly.Then Allen in a black suit reappeared in front of Azazel, Allen opened his eyes, only indifference remained in his eyes.
Azazel looked at Allen who had been completely demonized, and hugged Allen. Allen reached out and pressed Azazel's body, and then Azazel was knocked away as if hit by a shell.
Allen said indifferently, "Don't touch me."
Azazel, who was knocked into the air, stood up while supporting the wall, and said, "Are you proud? You have a lot of energy. Allen, welcome to become a demon."
Allen didn't say anything, just said coldly: "I'm hungry."
Azazel gasped, "Dinner will be ready soon."
Azazel snapped his fingers, and immediately six demons came in carrying a table of food. Allen looked at the food and pulled a grin.Immediately afterwards, Azazel watched Allen clean up a table of meals by himself, and ate very elegantly.
Allen said: "I'm not full, I'm not full."
Immediately afterwards, Allen looked at the demons who were carrying things. Azazel felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Allen's movements, and two tall demons among the six demons instantly turned into energy and rushed into Allen's mouth.
Azazel asked, "Why only those two?"
Allen, who was full, lazily nestled on the chair and said, "Because they are taller than me."
Azazel listened to the wrong words, and said with a smile: "Gluttony and jealousy, Allen really surprised me."
Suddenly Allen touched his lips with his hand and said: "My stomach is full, but this little mouth under my mouth has never eaten?" After speaking, Allen tugged at the neckline.
Even Azazel couldn't help swallowing, but Allen suddenly said, "I'm tired, I need to sleep for a while."
Azazel looked at Allen, who had a changeable personality, and thought of a thought that he didn't believe even himself. Azazel whispered: "Lust, lust and laziness, maybe..."
Before Azazel could express his thoughts, the closed door was opened with a bang, and a demon walked up to Azazel and said, "Sir, there are enemies coming to attack us."
As soon as Azazel opened his mouth, Allen, who was awakened, said in a suppressed and angry voice: "Is someone coming to attack us? I will let them go and never return."
Allen walked out of the palace angrily. As soon as Allen reached the door, he saw a group of demons standing not far away.
Allen scolded angrily: "Bastards, you have disturbed my rest, you bastards, let me disappear under the iron ride."
Allen raised his hands, and a jet of pitch-black energy instantly enveloped the sky and the earth.Immediately afterwards, groups of black liquid slowly gushed out on the pitch-black ground, and then the liquid condensed into black knights.
Allen stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the demons: "Immortal Ninth Legion! Trample everything for your king!"
The black knights rushed towards the demons following Allen's instructions, blood and screams kept ringing under the iron rides.After that battle, Allen's title of black tyrant resounded throughout hell.
The author has something to say: the Ninth "Spanish" Legion is perhaps the most famous of all Roman legions, as its title suggests, this legion was recruited by Caesar in Spain in 46 or 45 BC In 41 or 40 BC, Octavian carried out another major reorganization of the legion.The records of the Ninth Legion are very detailed. It participated in the invasion of Great Britain in 43 AD. In the Bodica Uprising in 61 AD, the Legion was severely damaged (almost the entire army was wiped out).Since then, there are not many records about the Ninth Legion (meaning less). It may have been wiped out near York in 120 AD. According to some historical materials found in Syria, the Ninth Legion was finally defeated in the Seleucian War in 165 AD. destroyed by the Parthians

Caligula fell seriously ill in October 37.Soon after recovering from his illness, he broke with the elders and launched a series of retrograde policies and brutal rule.Caligula's closest sister, Drusilla, died of illness, which changed his temperament even more.Originally, the rulers of ancient Rome were only worshiped as gods after death, but Caligula ordered the statues of the gods brought from Greece to remove their heads and replace them with Caligula's own head, and asked people to It was necessary to pay homage to his own god as he passed; Caligula claimed to be a god, and told the people that he was often invited by the gods to live in the heavenly court.
Caligula ordered Tiberius to be poisoned and forced his father-in-law Silanus to commit suicide.He often fell in love with the wife or mistress of the Senator at the banquet, and brought her back to his home, and then abandoned the other party.He also executed Macro, who had helped him ascend the throne, and exiled his sister Agrippina.He often used pretexts to humiliate, torture or kill senators in cruel ways, depriving many of Rome's most noble families of their ancient noble symbols.He was often openly berating all the senators.He took out copies of previously destroyed whistleblowing material and accused them of all shameful acts of past treachery.
On the spur of the moment, he suddenly had the idea of conquering Germany.Immediately he assembled legions and auxiliaries from all parts, collected taxes from all parts of the province, and raised all kinds of military supplies on an unprecedented scale.With the exception of a king in southern Britain who surrendered to him, he dismissed the idea of marching before a real war was fought.He also recalled the mutiny of the German Legion when Tiberius came to the throne. The army at that time had attacked his father and his young self, so he wanted to retaliate against the Legion with the cruel method of "eleven killings"; Later, when the soldiers heard the news and planned to resist, Caligula gave up, but this move undoubtedly made Caligula lose the support of the army.Later, he still touted his military exploits and returned to Rome in a "little triumph".
Caligula’s extravagant and extravagant measures exhausted the 27 billion Sestertius treasury accumulated by Tiberius within a year.So Caligula thought of various ways to make money.He abolished the law that Roman citizenship could be passed on to future generations, restricted the people of the provinces, and freed slaves could only grant citizenship to the "second generation" to increase the tax-paying population.He asked the people to list the emperor as one of the beneficiaries in the will, otherwise the will would be invalid.He also acquiesced in all kinds of false accusations, and confiscated the property of the accused by court judgment.Caligula auctioned off the furnishings in the palaces of Augustus and Tiberius, and sent the captain of the guard to collect taxes on all commodity transactions, even porters and prostitutes (back in the past). have to pay taxes.After these measures were announced, Caligula lost the popular support of the general people.

Nero's mother, Agrippina, had a strong desire for power. As Nero grew up, he was dissatisfied with his mother's political intervention.On Seneca's suggestion, Nero, as emperor, prevented his mother from entering the venue during an audience with Armenian envoys.Agrippina reacted fiercely to this, and threatened Nero by helping her younger brother, Britannicus, who was about to grow up. In 55, Britannicus was poisoned and died after eating, and later generations speculated that it was Nero who poisoned him.
Later, Nero accused Pallas of participating in a conspiracy and exiled Pallas; Pallas was a close friend of Agrippina's court and China. This action clearly showed Nero against his mother.Bruce retired, and Nero promoted Tigellinus as his new head of the Guards. In 59, Nero suddenly showed great hospitality and invited his mother to vacation at Villa Baia by the sea in Campania.Nero specially ordered a gorgeous boat to pick up Agrippina, but the ship disintegrated during the voyage, and Nero tried to create an accidental illusion to drown Agrippina.But Agrippina was good at swimming and was rescued by a passing fishing boat.Agrippina sent her slave to report to Nero.

After Nero took over the power, the respect for the elders and nobles gradually faded.He began to like to accept people's flattery, and vigorously attacked the political forces opposed to him.The most famous is the "Conspiracy of Pizo" in 65, a group of republican politicians intending to overthrow Nero's rule.But they plan to leak it beforehand.Nero expanded the scope of attack and purged dissidents, so that the upper class of Rome could feel the emperor's reign of terror at any time.
The Great Fire of Rome in 64
The fire in the city of Rome occurred on July [-], [-] AD, but the real cause of the fire has always been a historical mystery through the ages.However, most people believe that this is a case of arson, and Emperor Nero has become the biggest suspect because of his atrocities.According to the investigation at that time, the arsonist should have come from Emperor Nero, and the reason was that Emperor Nero wanted to expand the palace. However, the surroundings of the imperial palace in the capital city were full of Roman civilians, so it was almost difficult to start construction, so in the dead of night Always instigate his subordinates to set fires to fulfill their wishes.
三、康茂德,这个人就是电影《角斗士》里的那个暴君。全名鲁基乌斯·奥雷里乌斯·柯莫杜斯·安东尼奴斯(LuciusAureliusCommodusAntoninus,(161年8月31日-192年12月31日),又译为柯摩达、科莫德斯、高摩达、柯姆德斯)
In 182, Commodus was almost assassinated by an assassin in the theater.After Commodus arrested the assassin and tortured him, he discovered that the mastermind behind the undercover operation was actually his own sister Lu Qila.Lu Qila and Commodus were about ten years old. She originally had the title of "Augusta (Queen)" when her father was alive, but at this time Commodus's wife, Krispina, was rumored to be pregnant. Out of jealousy, he planned to assassinate his younger brother.After the defeat, several senators involved were executed, and Lucilla himself was exiled to Capri, where he was also executed by Commodus a few years later.
Since then, Commodus has been tired of the emperor's governing work, and he always suspects that the upper class of the empire is plotting to assassinate him.He asked the chief of the Guards to help him with government affairs, while he indulged in hunting and recreation, and was quite enthusiastic about gladiatorial activities.
Due to Commodus' negligent administration, he was unclear about the political situation in the empire, which caused him to be slandered and manipulated by the servants in the bedroom.For the first five years of his reign, the Prefect of the Guards, Perennis, was able to maintain peace in the Empire.In 184 AD, a legion mutiny occurred in Britain because of the suppression of the local uprising, and the troops supported the chief Prisccus as their new emperor.Perennis ruled out the idea of sending an army across the sea for an expedition, and successfully quelled the commotion.The chief servant of the bedroom, Kleinde, coveted power, which made Commodus doubt Perennis's loyalty, so he ordered Perennis to be killed.
Cleander finally took over the post of Commander of the Guards after the death of Perennis.After he took office, he monopolized the power of the central government and sold his official positions to fill his private pockets. There was even a strange phenomenon of 25 consuls in a year.In June 190 A.D., because Clander embezzled the free wheat distributed to the citizens and sold it in the market, there was a food shortage in the capital, which triggered the people to take to the streets to protest.Seeing that the situation was difficult to calm down, Commodus handed over Cleaner to the angry crowd and ordered Cleaner to be executed.
After Clander's death, Commodus still did not change his policy of governing and employing people, and was hostile to the Senate. He often used conspiracy to arrest high-level officials of the empire and executed them without trial.He also declared himself the son of God Hercules, and often went down to the arena himself to fight with gladiators or wild beasts.In contrast, the leaders of the Senate and the Guards continued to plan murders, and the relationship between the two parties was in turmoil.
On the last day of 192, it was planned by Commodus's mistress Maggia and the chief of the Guards Letus. When Commodus returned to the palace from the arena to take a bath, the wrestler Narcissus strangled him to death in the bath.The next day (January 193, 1), Letus elected Pertinax as the new emperor. The Senate passed a resolution to recognize Pertinax's status, and at the same time passed the curse on Commodus.
Allen swallowed and asked, "What's in your hand?"
Azazel said: "What do you think? If you want to turn a white paper black, of course you need paint."
After speaking, Azazel came to Allen with two bottles, and Azazel picked up the bottle with more liquid and body and shook it in front of Allen.
