"Why?"

Zhang Tuohai was curious as to why the other party looked like this, as if he had seen a ghost.

"We must not go to Rome. If we lose that thing, the only thing waiting for us when we go to Rome is the death penalty. There is no leeway. We still have time to run. Let's go to the west and cross the strait to Britannia. That is the border of the empire.

We might survive there."

"The commander of the Ninth Legion stationed there is my biological brother."

Sophia said.

Seeing Sophia's panic, Zhang Tuohai became more and more curious about what was in the box.

What on earth could make the consul's daughter so panicked that she might even be killed?

"If things are really as bad as you think, are you sure that your biological brother will not betray you?"

"Moreover, even so, we can't get through, because the barbarian army is to the west. We managed to escape. If we go that way, we will run into the barbarian army head-on."

Zhang Tuohai asked tentatively.

"No..." Sophia was about to say no, but she swallowed her words halfway.

She knows the importance of that thing better than anyone else. If she loses it, her brother might be the first to report her.

"I can't go to Britannia, let me think about where else I can go."

Sofia holds her head in her hands.

Zhang Tuohai didn't say anything, just waiting quietly.

After a while, Sophia suddenly had an idea.

"Since we can't go west, we can go east, to Byzantine Polis, which is also the border of the empire. However, it is a transportation hub and there are many pagans there. It will be difficult to find us if we hide there. If it doesn't work,

We can hide in pagan lands."

At this time, the game popped up a prompt.

[Task branch appears.]

[Main mission three: Escort Sophia to the headquarters of the Ninth Legion of Britannia.]

[Main mission three: Escort Sophia to Byzantine Polis.]

[Main mission three: Send Sofia to Rome.]

"This..."

Looking at the task branches, Zhang Tuohai thought deeply.

You definitely can’t choose the first one. There is an army of barbarians on the road to Britannia.

In addition, there is an unstable Ninth Legion in the local area, and there are too many variables along the way.

Sending Sofia to Rome is not a good choice either.

After all, he is also a member of the escort, and if something is lost, he is also closely related.

After going to Rome, the credit may not be there, but the guilt is certain.

In particular, even the consul's daughter couldn't resist, let alone a little centurion.

After thinking about it, it seems that the best choice is to go to Byzantine Polis.

Zhang Tuohai made a decision.

"I will take you to Byzantine Polis, but there is one condition, that is, you must listen to me on the way, otherwise, don't blame my ruthless men for sending you back to Rome."

"No, as long as you don't send me back to Rome, I can do whatever you want. Please, I don't want to go back to Rome."

Sophia cried.

Seeing Sophia's appearance, Zhang Tuohai became more and more sure that those boxes were not simple.

"Control your emotions and don't mess up if nothing happens."

Zhang Tuohai got out of the carriage and continued to move forward with his men.

Zhang Tuohai looked back at these subordinates and realized that it would be inappropriate to continue taking them with him now.

With so many people, they are a big target wherever they go. In addition, many people are not strict with their mouths, so it is easy to expose their whereabouts.

The best way is to kill all these people.

The secret can definitely be kept.

However, Zhang Tuohai didn't want to be so awesome. After all, these people followed him, didn't do anything excessive, and were very dedicated.

Zhang Tuohai

Decided to find an opportunity to leave them behind and let each of them settle in their destiny.

After all, not killing them was already his greatest kindness.

Near Rome, Zhang Tuohai chose a dark and windy night to take Sophia away from the large army.

"They won't betray us, right?"

Sophia asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, they don't know where we are going, and there's nothing they can do if they want to betray us."

Zhang Tuohai took Sophia all the way west along the road.

The two of them encountered no danger on the road.

Zhang Tuohai didn't bother to take action against some unsighted thieves, so he just called a security guard to deal with them directly.

The only problem is that the food in this world is not very good, the meat is not delicious, and you have to go to the toilet in the open air.

Zhang Tuohai was almost bitten by a snake once.

From then on, Zhang Tuohai would summon a security guard to clean up the nearby area every time before he wanted to take a convenience.

In this way, the two of them arrived at Byzantine Polis.

Although he heard Sophia talk about the majesty of Byzantine Polis more than once, Zhang Tuohai still marveled at its prosperity when he saw it for the first time.

The towering city wall is twenty meters long, and the roads leading into the city are full of caravans.

In the distant harbor, masts are as dense as trees, and the city is bustling with people.

Businessmen from all over the world trade here with accents from all over the world.

"It does seem like a good enemy to hide in."

Zhang Tuohai took a look at this big city. With the current means, it is indeed not easy to find someone in such a big city.

Zhang Tuohai was about to take Sophia into Byzantine Polis when he suddenly felt his windbreaker shaking, guiding him towards a hill not far from the city.

Zhang Tuohai opened his windbreaker and found that the boxes were causing trouble.

During this period, he tried to open those boxes, but he used various methods, including but not limited to, using crowbars, saws, hammers, axes and other weapons to open the boxes.

But they all ended in failure.

He originally planned to wait to take the thing back to the real world and cut it open with a chainsaw.

But now, those boxes have responded.

"Is there something on that mountain?"

Zhang Tuohai's heart moved.

At this moment, the game prompt popped up.

[Main quest branch]

[Main Mission 4: Go to the Holy Mountain and find the secret of the box.]

[Main Mission 4: Enter Byzantine Polis as if nothing happened.]

"Of course, go check it out."

Zhang Tuohai made the decision without thinking.

If he doesn't understand the secrets of these boxes, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.

In particular, these boxes can actually break through the barriers of space equipment, which shows that the level of these things is definitely not low.

Maybe there will be a big harvest.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai turned around and walked towards the hill not far away.

"What are you going to do?"

When Sophia saw Zhang Tuohai leaving directly, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"There is something to guide me there. I'm going to have a look. You can choose to go into the city alone, or you can follow me and have a look."
