Or should I say...she wasn't very good at dealing with people like Ian.

If he was really facing the emperor, he might be even more powerful.

With just one move, Ian knocked the dagger out of the girl's hand in the most brutal way.

But even in this situation, the opponent still did not want to give up and launched an attack with bare hands.

There was no other way. In order to protect Boudica's safety, Ian had to capture the girl immediately, and then tied her hands and feet behind her back with the reinforced ropes projected from his memory.

This is the perfect Four-Horse Binding Technique. The whole process is smooth and there is no mistake at all.

In this way, the girl was unable to move. Even if she struggled to get up, she could only kneel on the ground in a humiliating position, and her head had to be tilted back because of the pulling of her hair.

"Good, what a skilled technique..." Boudica couldn't help but praise, "Even the most powerful warriors in Britannia can't do it so fast."

"If you play more often, you will get better naturally."

"What?" Boudica felt as if she had heard something extraordinary.

"Nothing." Ian ended the topic very neatly. "Let's quickly find out the identity of this person. If we are late, it will be too late to go back."

"Too."

They quickly reached a consensus, and Ian and Boudica came to the girl.

But even with this humiliating method, the other party still looked unconvinced, and could even be said to be extremely angry.

"Let me go! Let me kill this foolish Emperor Nero!"

Ian could feel that this tone was definitely not a disguise - the girl in front of him really had an inexplicable hatred towards Nero.

But the question is, who is she?

You know, even someone like Boudica, who once hated Nero so much, had been dealt with by himself.

How could there be anyone who hated Nero more than she did?

"..."

Boudica looked at the girl gritting her teeth, and there were some subtle emotional changes in her eyes - she seemed to remember something.

After a moment's hesitation, the Queen of Britannia personally reached out and untied the girl who wanted to kill her.

In the other party's puzzled eyes, Boudica gently said:

"First of all, I don't know why you mistook me for Nero, but I want to tell you that I am not her. You must have made a mistake."

"Secondly, I want to correct the mistakes in your words. Nero was not a foolish emperor. Contrary to what you think, he was actually a very good person."

"Finally, if possible, I hope you can calm down for a while and figure things out with us, okay?"

Although Boudica was ambitious, she did acknowledge Nero.

She is also a very gentle person. Even when facing someone who wants to kill her, she can communicate with the other person in this tone.

Ian couldn't help but care more about her good character.

"..."

Boudica's heartfelt words really touched the girl.

Reeking of alcohol, she was no longer as sharp as before, and her tone was now much more casual.

"You're not lying to me, are you? You...are you really not the Roman emperor?"

"I'm really not." Boudica continued to explain very patiently, "I am Queen Boudica of Britannia, and this will never change!"

"..."

The girl did not continue to question and seemed to believe Boudica's words.

Her gaze fell on Ian standing beside her. In her eyes, there was reluctance to be defeated by him, but at the same time, there was also admiration for his strength.

"Then who is this person..."

"This one……"

There was no problem introducing himself, but Ian's identity was a little embarrassing for Boudica.

She was reluctant to put the other person in a position that was too distant, but she was also afraid that if she put him in a position that was too close, it would cause him to feel disgusted.

But Ian took the initiative to hold her hand at this time, and then said in a serious tone that did not allow for rebuttal:

"I'm her fiancé, Ian Pendragon - if you mess around again, I'll kill you!"

"Eh……"

Boudica blushed when she heard that she had suddenly gained a status, but she did not deny what the man said at all.

fiancée……

Does that mean I can marry him along with everyone else?

That seems to be a very happy thing!

But then again...do I have to become a concubine too?

Boudica fell into a strange state of deep thought.

"..."

Hearing this, the girl looked at Ian, then at Boudica who was standing beside him with a happy face. After a moment's silence, she began to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I was reckless."

"I, Jing Ke, apologize to you."

"..."

The moment he heard the name, Ian felt it sounded familiar.

Soon, he remembered.

That was the period before Leif caused the big explosion, and the entire Chaldea was executing its own "Master Watch Plan" - a plan that allowed several Masters to form several groups to protect each other.

At that time, I had seen this name in the information sent by Akai Hinako.

and so--

Is she actually a heroic spirit?

The moment he realized this, Ian felt that something was a little wrong.

And this conjecture was soon verified.

Jing Ke continued, "Alas, I came here to kill Nero... but now I can't see her anyway. It's so painful!"

Hearing this, Ian first stopped Boudica beside him, and then asked Jing Ke in return.

"Do you have a grudge against her? Do you have to kill her?"

"I have no hatred against her." Jing Ke said his inner thoughts very frankly, "But since I have been summoned to this era, I should at least do something for those who are oppressed by the emperor in this era!"

It is indeed a heroic spirit.

Ian realized that this might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Jing Ke, do you know who summoned you?"

"I don't know." Jing Ke shook his head very directly, "I just felt that the way she summoned me was not so right, and it could even be said to be a bit crooked."

"But when I think about killing the incompetent emperor, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

"..."

Jing Kexia had her reasons for saying this - she once wanted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, but ultimately failed.

Now that she has come to this era in Rome, killing Nero may become her way of making up for her regrets.

and……

Ian looked at the dagger lying next to Jing Ke.

If this is the case, Jing Ke appeared to assassinate Nero... then there is one person whose wish obviously fits this idea.

That’s right, that was Agrippina, Nero’s biological mother, a vicious woman who had tried to kill her daughter many times.

This is the person most likely to summon Jing Ke at the singularity.

but--

Didn't she die a long time ago?

and many more.

Memories of his time living in Rome emerged in Ian's mind.

Leif is here too!!!

Although it is not known what means he used to achieve Agrippina's resurrection, since he had been to this era, he would be the most likely person to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Ian asked Jing Ke another question.

"Then why are you so drunk—so drunk that you don't feel dizzy?"

This question is not asked casually.

There must be a reason why Agrippina could summon a drunken hero.

"How could I be so dizzy?"

Jing Ke held his dagger and appeared very confident.

"For me, alcohol is the best weapon to boost my courage. No matter how much I drink, I will never get drunk!"

"A weapon to boost your courage?"

"Yup!"

Jing Ke looked towards the place where Boudica's chariot was parked, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"A lot of strange shadows appeared last night - they attacked me at first, but after I finished drinking, they were no longer hostile."

"And then... I met you guys."

"..."

Everything connected at this moment.

These dark shadows that appeared outside Hadrian's Wall were probably related to Agrippina.

The loss of hostility was probably because they recognized Jing Ke.

This vicious woman is truly cruel and ruthless... Even after being resurrected, she still wants to kill her own daughter.

but--

Ian looked at Jing Ke and realized that she might be the key to solving the problem.

He leaned close to Boudica's ear and whispered softly.

"Boudica, I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?" the Queen responded quickly.

"I say...how about we stay out for another night?"

"what?!"

429. Three Marching into the Night / Agrippina the Faceless / The Truth (4k)

"..."

Boudica looked at Ian for a long time. After confirming that he was not joking with her, she answered:

“Seneca, are you sure you want to do this… What exactly is the black shadow? We haven’t figured it out yet. If we just stay here, there might be some unexpected risks.”

Ian knew that Boudica was not a coward - after all, she would really lead the charge as the Queen of Britannia.

The reason I say this now is that I just don’t want any unnecessary sacrifices to occur.

However, Ian's attitude was very decisive. He took the hand of his "fiancée" Boudica.

"Yes, Boudica, I know it's dangerous - but sooner or later we will have to face them."

"You should know that it is impractical to defend Hadrian's Wall forever."
