Rome Must Perish

Maximus immediately asked, "What kind of knowledge are you imparting?"

Emmerich replied, "The tribe’s history and knowledge of nature."

Maximus didn’t comment, instead asking, "Do you know how to heal? What do you use to treat people?"

"Mainly herbal medicine, it’s a wealth that nature has bestowed upon humanity."

"How is your medical skill?"

"After our race became the slaves of the Pannonians, many Druids were killed by them. The reason I am alive today is because of my medical skills." Emmerich spoke calmly, not boasting directly, but this was proof enough.

A Druid himself, from the upper echelons of the Skodisqi people, and possessing excellent medical skills, it’s understandable he would hold high prestige among the slaves. No wonder he became an organizer of the rebellion... Maximus thought to himself, then asked aloud, "Why were you in such a hurry to see me? What do you need?"

"Honorable leader." Emmerich bowed again in salute and said loudly, "Thank you very much for defeating our enemies and freeing us from their enslavement! I want to know what plans you have for us, the Skodisqi people?"

Although Emmerich felt anxious and was eager to know the fate of himself and his people, he spoke very cautiously, his years as a slave having taught him prudence and restraint. Although he appeared somewhat impatient when he just escaped the cage today, Maximus’s two rejections had sobered him. Moreover, in the process of actively helping the rebel army, he had intentionally garnered some information about this force, knowing that this seemingly young leader was no simple person, so he was now very careful.
