After recapturing Gaul and arranging garrison troops there, Nero, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his party decided to set off back to Rome.
Successfully defeated an emperor who united the Roman Empire, but instead of making Nero happy, he felt even heavier.
"Master." Mashu, who went to the wilderness to gather information, returned.
"Did you find anything?" Ritsuka asked, and Nero also cast an eager look.
"The news is still the same as before. Many people are saying that ancient gods have appeared."
call out--
Zuo Cun fell from the sky, his face solemn: "The news I got here is the same."
"Ah ah ah, what's going on? This is the first time in the past two days that I have received such news?" Nero was so angry that his hair stood up.
Lawrence pinched his chin.
Ancient gods...referring to the age of gods, or something else...
"According to the information that Matthew sent to me in advance, it seems that ancient gods appeared on an island in the Mediterranean." The sound of Doctor Roman clicking on the keyboard came.
"A certain island? Is that really what you said?" Camilla frowned, "Based on rumors, this is a bit too specific."
"It's so specific... It seems like someone deliberately released the news." Toshizo Hijikata said as he walked.
"Yes, it's like someone deliberately released it." Camilla nodded.
"Gaul is located on the coast of the Mediterranean. It is not surprising to hear such news, but it is a bit too strange to hear the same thing so repeatedly." Lawrence said.
"Ritsuka, what do you think?" Roman asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Well...how should I put it, I do mind it a little bit..." Fujimaru Ritsuka closed his eyes and thought seriously, and suddenly thought of something, "Do you think it has something to do with the Holy Grail?
"
Everyone looked solemn.
"What Ritsuka said is indeed possible, but...if according to what His Majesty Nero said, the purpose of uniting the Roman Empire is to divide Rome, then there is no reason to operate outside the Roman Empire, let alone
They are active on the island." Dr. Roman shook his head.
"Furthermore...there is a magician on the enemy side. Although it is not yet certain that it is Leif Lenore, that guy probably won't go to the Mediterranean...but he calls himself
It is possible for God."
"Maybe it's a real god?" Lawrence didn't know whether he was joking or serious. "An ancient god who came to the first century when the age of gods has long faded."
"The manifestation of gods..." Dr. Roman frowned, "The possibility is not high, it can even be said...impossible. This era cannot be mixed with such huge things as gods."
Foreign objects], you must know that singular points also have their own tolerance limits."
"What's the difference between heroic spirits (servants) and gods?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked doubtfully.
"The difference is not as big as expected, but the biggest difference between the two is probably [personality]." Lawrence smiled.
"The incarnation of nature, the gods who grant power to those in power, the gods... probably do not exist. The current world is undoubtedly a world ruled by humans." Roman changed the subject in a panic.
.
Lawrence and Zuo Cun looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke.
Fujimaru Ritsuka listened to Roman's somewhat confusing explanation with a question mark on her face, but she understood Lawrence's explanation clearly.
"That is to say, what descended there could be a real god?" She seemed to understand something and stretched out a finger.
Snapped--
Doctor Roman patted his face, and Leonardo da Vinci hid behind him and snickered.
Nero was a little irritated by this topic: "Just sorting out rumors here won't solve the problem at all. Since Yu and you are very concerned about this matter, if it is really the information released by the enemy,
Isn’t it good that you just want Yu to go?”
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Nero: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"I have enough fighting power. The advantage is mine, why don't you go!" Nero proudly held his chest and raised his head.
"Best regards, Your Majesty." Li Xiang chuckled.
Well, no matter how you think about it, this is the final result...
"Your Majesty—" Suddenly, a soldier rushed over from behind in a hurry.
"What happened?" Nero asked seriously.
"The rear - there are many monsters appearing in the rear, and it is difficult for our army to resist!" the soldier said with a frightened expression.
"Mr. Samura, Miss Camilla!" Ritsuka looked at his two fastest cavalry servants.
"Understood."
"give it to me!"
The two people instantly moved towards the back of the team in their own way.
"Doctor..." Matthew said speechlessly.
"Hug...Sorry, I was just chatting and didn't notice the magic radar..." Dr. Roman apologized guiltily.
"Mr. Hijikata and Miss Simonetta, please go too."
Hijikata Toshizo said nothing, dismounted and ran towards the rear. Simonetta nodded obediently.
"In this case, there should be no need to worry." Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief.
"We are all very reliable followers." Mashu smiled.
After a while, several people came back.
"It's just a group of monsters. Don't worry, they've all been dealt with." Hijikata Touzan showed no expression on his face, but there was a sense of calmness and domineering in his movements.
"There are still some undead, so the mission results should be reported in more detail." Camilla looked at Hijikata Toshizo.
"Then there are still some undead souls." Hijikata Toshizo said again.
"Now that everyone is back, let's talk about the results of the discussion between Yu and Governor Fujimaru Ritsuka, dear guests." Nero sat on the ground and smiled.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty." Zuomura nodded and sat behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"I am going to personally confirm the god in the Mediterranean!" Nero said seriously, "Although I don't know what this ancient god on the island is, I am still a little worried. If it really is
What about one of the gods?”
"This is not impossible, because we in Rome have such a legend."
"The remaining divine ancestor, the founding king of the country, Romulus, embarked on the long steps to ascend to the gods amidst lightning and thunder, and became a god."
"If we move forward in time, there will be more things like this, so let's just say——"
"It would be extraordinary if the remaining gods of Rome were snatched away by the hyenas who came after hearing the news - that is, the false [emperors] of the United Empire!"
"So this is it? What do you think, Master?" Samura asked Fujimaru Ritsuka with great interest.
"Since His Majesty has this interest, how can we, as ministers, disobey it?" Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, "And - if it is really the Holy Grail, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing."
