I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"Well, it's nothing serious."

The girl smiled and said: "Since it is before asking for the name, it is only natural for Yu to give Yu Zhi's name."

"And Yu is the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire! The true guardian of Rome! Nero Claudius——"

"How is it? Are you frightened? Shocked, right?! Hmm~ very good, this little girl, Yu is very satisfied with your expression."

And at this moment, Matthew couldn't help leaning lightly on Lixiang's side and said: "Senior...Although it's very impolite...but I don't know why I always have a complete feeling when Miss Nero announces her identity. There's nothing surprising about it."

"Um…………"

Li Xiang could only nod in agreement.

And Hei Zhen, who was behind him, could only look at the Roman emperor with an almost identical face speaking with a displeased expression.

"Okay! Since it's an allied army that helped Yu, let's go back to the capital with Yu! Sorry, I accidentally promised a reward just now, and Yu now has nothing but the sword in his hand. There is nothing... But it doesn't matter! You can't promise rewards until you return to the capital, you just need to follow Yu back to the capital!"

Just like that, before Lixiang and the others could come back to their heads, they followed Nero in a daze.

On the way, Doctor Roman and Nero also kept passing on their respective information during the conversation.

"[Master]? [Servant]? What is that?"

"Does the United Imperial Army refer to the army just now?"

"Human power burn?"

"Imperial confrontation?"

In the end, it took them less than 10 minutes to get a general understanding of each other's situation.

"So... is it because of the sudden appearance of the United Roman Empire that the current situation of frequent wars, and even the embarrassment of the capital being surrounded...?"

"Yeah, what a bunch of unreasonable guys, even though they have promised Yu more than once that 'as long as the Roman Empire merges into the United Roman Empire, Yu will also become one of the emperors of the United Empire' or something... But that is impossible! No matter who the emperor of the past and future is, the emperor of the Roman Empire at this moment is of course Yu Nero Claudius, and the glory and prosperity of this era should be left to Yu To create! Of course there is no doubt about that!"

Although the girl in front of her eyes was very different from the emperor in history, but when she said these words, Lixiang and the others clearly felt the domineering aura of being called a king.

Even Hei Zhen, who had been looking at her a little displeased just now because of her appearance, showed a rare face-on look.

"Hmm...my side is probably like this...how about you?"

"According to what the magician said, you should be the magician's disciples and were sent to help Yu defeat the Roman United Empire, right?"

"It's very kind of you to understand like that..."

Dr. Roman exhaled slowly, and said, "There is nothing wrong with your understanding. Lixiang and the others are here to assist you."

"Hmm... the help of a magician from the Far East... Boom, very good! Yu has already said that, since he has chosen to stand on the same front as Yu at this moment, of course Yu will not refuse!"

The crimson and gold Roman emperor said with a smile.

And as Nero and Lixiang's group continued to talk, before they knew it, Lixiang and the others had crossed the previous big grassland and came to the bare river beach not far outside the city of Rome.

This is obviously not a normal situation. Logically speaking, the pastures around the river beach should be the most lush... But don't mention the abundance of water and grass now, the surrounding river beaches are all bare... It seems that the land has been turned over It's the same over and over again...

"what is this………………"

Looking at the bare river beach, Matthew couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then said.

Of course, everyone also noticed the bare river beach, and Dr. Roman was not idle. Although the testing equipment could not accurately judge whether the lone follower was hostile, it was still possible to just test the bare river beach in front of him.

"Hmm... There is no special magical reaction, and it looks like the soil was turned over by some animal... Although from this scale, 'that' should not be small... "

After a little hesitation, Dr. Roman still spoke out the results of the test.

"Could it be something like a fantasy monster?"

Li Xiang couldn't help asking, being able to turn over all the aquatic plants here on the entire river beach all at once, this could not help but remind him of some kind of huge fantasy species.

But regarding this, Dr. Roman shook his head slightly: "I can't be sure, after all, there is no magical reaction... The only thing that can be sure is its size."

"........."

Li Xiang couldn't help being silent for a while.

"Ugh... what are you doing here?"

Seeing Li Xiang and the others stopped by a river beach, Nero couldn't help being a little curious.

"Well... nothing particularly important, I just saw something."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.it is that...forget it, this kind of thing is quite troublesome if there is not enough evidence.

"...into...into the city?"

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and before he knew it, they had already appeared outside the gate of an ancient city.

"Well, of course!" Accompanied by Nero's voice, the huge and heavy gate of the ancient city slowly opened with a muffled sound, and the bustling corner of the city of seven hills was also revealed through the gap in the gate. In front of Lixiang.

"Wow…………"

"........."

Matthew exclaimed, and Lixiang and Heizhen couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"As the saying goes, there were seven hills in the beginning, and everything in the Roman Empire began here..."

Looking at Lixiang who gradually opened his eyes wide, Nero said with a smile: "Welcome to Rome, the bustling city that even virgins will sing praises for!"

Chapter 5: Negotiation

Only after experiencing the scenery of La Charité in France, Lixiang at this time will sincerely marvel at the ancient Roman city, which is very famous all over the world.

Because compared with the imperial capital that has attracted much attention in the history of the world, La Charite in France in the Middle Ages can be regarded as an ordinary city!

Just facing the main street exposed by the city gate, the capital of the Roman Empire also looks so majestic. The wide streets did not bring the slightest sense of age gap to Lixiang and the others.

On both sides of the wide road, the walkways for pedestrians on both sides are not crowded. At the same time, in order to distinguish them from the wide road for carriages in the middle, the sidewalks on both sides are even raised up by a step height as in the future. .

Although it is just a detail that is difficult to notice, it is only a corner of the city gate after it is opened, and the advanced prosperity of this ancient city is suddenly revealed in front of everyone.

"Okay, if you just stand outside the city, you can't appreciate the prosperity of Rome at all! Okay, okay, let's go into the city~~~"

As the emperor who ruled over such a huge empire with such a city as its capital, Nero certainly seemed very proud. With her rather stalwart chest, she pushed the stunned Lixiang into the city step by step.

And only when he is really in this bustling city, can Lixiang truly feel the prosperity and prosperity of this ancient capital.

There are shops selling different items everywhere, and the streets that diverge from the main street of the city like the branches of big trees are also full of people, but even so, this ancient city more than 900 years ago is not It doesn't look crowded, here, Lixiang seems to be able to find prototypes of architectural facilities in the future society anywhere, and this is indeed the case.

It is not only the advanced design and architecture of the city of Rome that makes it famous for future generations, but more importantly, these people in front of Lixiang inject vitality into the city of Rome and create prosperous Romans who really live in front of Lixiang.

Just standing on the main street in the city, Li Xiang was already shocked and speechless.

If he had to describe his feelings in one sentence, he would be in disbelief.

I can't believe that as early as 900 years ago, such a prosperous city appeared on the earth, and it has existed as the capital of a great empire for several centuries, and it has been passed down to this day.

This kind of feeling can't be seen in the original textbooks, because in the textbooks, only the ruins of the ancient city of Rome can be seen, and there is no comparison with Rome, which is now in its prosperous period. .

"Hmm! Surprised, isn't it?! Shocked, isn't it?! This shocked expression is great!"

Nero said with a smile beside Lixiang, not just Lixiang, Matthew and Heizhen couldn't help being shocked by the bustling scene in front of them.

"Fruit! All kinds of fruit! Anyone want to buy it?!"

"Ahhh!!! The silver jewelry shop is open!!!"

"This is silk from the East! Precious silk! Anyone want it?!"

The yelling from various shops mixed into the already noisy voice, making it even more noisy.

"How is it? It's far more prosperous than you imagined, right?"

Nero said proudly: "As the saying goes, there were seven hills at the beginning, both the ancestors of the gods and Rome started here, so here is half of the prosperity of the empire as a matter of course, just feel it at this time, feel it This is a bustling city where even virgins can sing songs of praise!"

"Oh, this apple is very good, boss, I'll take two."

In the middle of talking, Nero suddenly noticed the fruit stand beside him, took two good apples, and said to the busy boss.

"Oh! It's His Majesty the Emperor! Please take it, long live Rome!"

When the boss saw that it was Nero who was picking up the apple in front of him, what Lixiang saw was the true reverence in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"Crack..."

Nero was not too polite, so he took a bite of one of the apples.

"Well, sweet fruits are very good food for soldiers who have just left the battlefield. Although they can't heal their injuries, they can relax their spirit... Well, do you want the little girl here?"

Perhaps Mash, who was wielding the huge shield before, left a very good impression on Nero. Nero waved his hand, as if he wanted to give her a taste of the apple in his hand.

"Well... I don't need to..."

"Is that so... Do the men over here need it?"

"I...uh...thank you..." Lixiang originally wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Nero stuffed the apple into his hand.

Suddenly, Lixiang noticed that Heizhen beside her was gone.

"Huh? Alter, what's wrong with you?"

After walking around the street, Li Xiang saw Hei Zhen who had been standing there for a long time.

"Ah—it's nothing, it's too noisy..."

Hei Zhen, who was suddenly disturbed by Li Xiang unconsciously, had to look away from the group of children playing and playing, had a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Well... If this is the case, then I will pay you this."

As he spoke, Lixiang smiled and handed the apple in his hand to Heizhen.

"You must be tired after leaving the battlefield, right? Eat some fruit to moisten your throat."

"…………Are you stupid?"

Regarding Li Xiang's various weird behaviors, Hei Zhen is not surprised now, and she can't help saying: "I am a Servant, and servants don't need to eat."

"But the existence of the concept of supporting the servant is the hero itself, and the hero is also a human being. Of course, human beings need to eat."

Lixiang showed a pure smile indifferently, and didn't care about the magic principle. He just patted Heizhen's shoulder lightly: "Okay, it's time to go."

"........."

Hei Zhen glanced down at the fruit in her hand, and then quickly caught up with Li Xiang's not fast pace.

Not long after, after a few laps in the street, Lixiang and his party returned to the annex in Rome along with Nero and a small number of soldiers.

The half-day tense march was finally over, but Lixiang and the others had no way to rest, because at this time, they had to hurry up and figure out the status quo and changes of this singularity with Nero.

And the only important key they have learned from Nero so far is the existence of the "United Roman Empire".

Therefore, Nero and Lixiang told the current situation from beginning to end.

The once glorious empire has now been torn apart, and now it is at a critical moment, completely divided into two. Nero ruled the orthodox Roman Empire, that is, the area centered on the city of Rome, while the other side was ruled by multiple emperors. The United Empire of Common Rulers, they called themselves the United Roman Empire, took half of the Empire, and all that was left at this point was crazy wars.

But what is embarrassing is that they don't know the actual situation on the side of the United Empire, and the scouts sent out to investigate will suddenly disappear without any news, and those false emperors gather together But even the location of the capital is completely unclear.

To put it bluntly, this is simply a mess that cannot be messed up early.

Of course, this is not the fault of Nero who is the emperor in front of him. After all, the United Roman Empire appeared so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. After that, the United Roman Empire has already occupied half of the Roman Empire. territory.

Faced with such a situation, no matter how wise a leader is, they will feel helpless.

"That..." Matthew was silent for a while, and then said: "Could it be that...one of the joint emperors got the Holy Grail or something...and thus caused a historical anomaly?"

"From your description of the Holy Grail just now... maybe there is nothing wrong with this." Nero said, who had just heard about the existence of the Holy Grail from Lixiang.

"It is true that no matter what the cause of this war and disaster was, the United Empire was too powerful, and violent battles were caused everywhere, and the people suffered for it. The governors and generals under the remaining command were all sent out and devoted to Legion, but still failed to form the momentum to end the United Empire."

Even the young girl who was still calm on the battlefield before could not help showing a hint of sadness.

"Before you just arrived, there was already a situation where the coalition army was approaching the imperial capital, and I even led my own soldiers to drive them out of the invading streets... But until now, this is no longer just the power of one person The situation can be subverted......"

Suddenly, Nero looked at Lixiang, looked at Lixiang and his party with an unprecedented solemn look, and then she said: "So I ordered you... no, please, become Yu's guest generals, and help Yu defeat To unite the Roman Empire in rebellion, in that case, both Yu and Rome will support the purpose of obtaining the Holy Grail..."

In this regard, Dr. Roman slowly exhaled, and then said: "I am very grateful for saying such a thing without us asking. It is better to say that our goals are the same."

"That's right...then what do Miss Alter and Senior think?"
