Use FGO to open the second dimension

This is also a very normal thing. It is like a historian encountering something completely different from the history he knows. That historian will also show a very obvious expression of doubt about life.

Koizumi fully understands that Mashu's expression is purely a reflection of her changing outlook on life.

You will encounter many things in the future. After all, there is still a big gap between history and reality.

So much time has passed. I really think those records can be true. I am thinking too much.

In addition, history books themselves are written by people. As long as they are written by people, they will definitely carry certain personal colors and personal emotions. Therefore, history books are something that you just need to read. It is not a good thing to really regard them as the only standard of history. If history is not something you have actually seen, it is better to say less.

However—it seems like things have really gotten out of hand this time. The current situation…

"There are indeed some very strange places. This city of Rome seems to be wrapped in some mysterious power. After entering the city of Rome, my detection ability has completely failed. It's as if the entire city of Rome is a certain guy's base!" Patchouli said this with a serious face, and at the same time covered the magic book that had just been opened.

"Is that so..." Koizumi's face remained alert.

There is something seriously wrong with this Roman city; that much is now certain...

Is this the problem with this singularity? No, it's more than that. It seems there's a huge problem with the Roman authorities this time! At this moment, Koizumi is certain of this...

Youyouzi (Journey to the West) frowned slightly. If she had only felt a slight sensation just now, now after entering the city of Rome, this feeling could be said to have been magnified countless times!

"Koizumi-kun, be careful. This city of Rome is alive—"

It is normal for Youyouzi (Journey to the West) to have this feeling. After all, Youyouzi (Journey to the West) itself gives [death] to the living, so Youyouzi (Journey to the West) can be said to be very sensitive to the breath of the living.

In fact, even without Youyouzi (Journey to the West) telling me, Koizumi also felt something, that is, in the palace—

"I feel that, too. If Rome is alive, then the Imperial Palace is the eye of Rome... It seems there's someone beyond imagination within Rome. Has he used Rome as his base? No, Caster's base construction wouldn't be up to that level..."

Having said this, Koizumi turned his gaze towards Patchouli standing beside him and slowly asked.

"Pachuli, have you ever seen anyone who can create a position to this extent?"

"I've never seen anything of this caliber. Even the two gods on the Monster Mountain couldn't make their formations look like living things to this degree... This can't even be considered formation construction!"

Patchouli said this with a serious expression, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. This singularity is not simple!

Even Patchouli said so? It seems this place is really not that simple... Koizumi thought to himself.

"That palace! Ugh..." Ritsuka, who accidentally cast his gaze towards the palace, couldn't help but let out a cry of grief.

Li Xiang subconsciously covered her eyes. What was that? She felt as if something inside her body was starting to lose control! At that moment, she seemed to have become unlike herself!

"Ritsuka! Don't force yourself to look at that palace! If the city of Rome is merely covered in a layer of air, then the palace is undoubtedly enveloped in a powerful air current comparable to armor. Even the holder of the Mystic Eye could sustain eye damage the moment they see that place!"

Gu Quan slowly reminded him that the reason he had no problems now was largely because he had all sorts of bizarre energy systems within his body, which was why he was barely fine.

"Hmm! I didn't expect there to be someone with such discerning eyes here. It seems my sudden impulse to come here to patrol the streets because of a headache was right! And there are also people here who are similar to the Divine Ancestors. They are called Heroic Spirits, right? It seems that this trip is worthwhile!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with excitement rang out beside Koizumi and the others.

Chapter 527 I am the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire - Nero Claudius!

"Hmm! I didn't expect there to be someone with such discerning eyes here. It seems my sudden impulse to come here to patrol the streets because of a headache was right! And there are also people here who are similar to the Divine Ancestors. They are called Heroic Spirits, right? It seems that this trip is worthwhile!"

The person who said this was a very beautiful girl, a beautiful girl that could be easily seen at a glance.

She was a young girl with radiant golden hair tied up at the back of her head. She had a very regular and pretty appearance. She looked about the same age as Mashu, but her beautiful face and dark eyebrows revealed the majesty of a superior. It was obvious that she was a person of extraordinary status.

Not to mention anything else, just hearing the word "heroic spirit" from the other person's mouth is already very unusual.

The other person was wearing a bright red dress, with a bright smile on her face. Her eyes were fixed on Koizumi and the others, making them feel a surge of pressure.

"Who are you?" Koizumi looked at the girl in front of him warily and asked slowly.

The magic book in Patchouli's hand slowly opened, and the magic power began to gather. Once the opponent had any problems, she would immediately stop the opponent, or even kill the opponent without hesitation.

Not to mention Patchouli, even Sakuya and Yuyuko (Xixingyao) were wary of each other.

Although the other party's words were not hostile, it was better to be careful in such a strange place!

"Hmm, it's not appropriate for me to reveal my name in a place like this. I finally managed to escape without telling Seneca, so that I could have a good headache. If I reveal my name here, Seneca will definitely come looking for me. I'll be very embarrassed then... If possible, please don't let me reveal my name here..."

"Guests from a foreign land! Please trust me and follow me! Rome needs your help now!"

The girl stared at Koizumi and the others in front of her, her eyes filled with clarity, as if she had sincerely entrusted everything to them. However, Patchouli slowly stepped forward, standing in front of Koizumi, and spoke slowly.

"If that's the case, then this is troublesome. After all, we've only just arrived in Rome and are unfamiliar with the place..."

Patchouli had her reasons for following him. First, as mentioned earlier, she was unfamiliar with the place, and if she didn't follow him, there would be nowhere else in Rome to go and gather relevant information. Second, the other party was clearly not an ordinary person. If he was a Roman official, getting into trouble with him here would not be a good idea.

After all, this is the Roman Empire. If you really make enemies with these people, you will suffer the consequences.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take a risky move. Anyway, the worst result is to fight with the other party.

After all, even if you don't go with the other party in the end, isn't it very likely that you will become their enemy in the end?

The result is the same, so instead of becoming an enemy directly, it is better to take a risky move.

This is why Patchouli stopped Koizumi. Don't make such a final statement, or it will be very troublesome.

Patchouli's health is not good to begin with. If she has to run around and escape everywhere, she will be exhausted to death. So for Patchouli, this is also a very good choice.

Well, Patchouli’s reason was a bit strange. To put it bluntly, she just didn’t want to run around.

"Then leave it to me! Rome welcomes all guests from foreign lands! Especially those who can help Rome!"

The smile on the girl's face was very bright and looked very dazzling, with a gleam of light in her eyes.

"Pachuli, is this okay? Leaving with this woman for no apparent reason?"

Koizumi has always been cautious. Although his fighting style is very crazy and sometimes very bold, facing such a strange thing as soon as he arrived at the singularity, Koizumi would like to be as cautious as possible. This is Koizumi's idea, and such bold behavior makes people worry.

Hearing this, Patchouli nodded slightly, glancing at Guquan beside her.

"I'm not sure, but one thing is certain. Whether we follow them or not, the worst-case scenario is we'll become their enemy. Instead of that, we should see what they're up to. At least by making contact, we can figure out what they're thinking. So, it's probably not a bad idea to try and get in touch with them..."

Patchouli's words were quite interesting and made sense. If they contacted the other party, they might be able to discover the reason for Rome's abnormality. If they did not contact the other party, they might not only offend the other party, but also not get any information at all.

So instead of directly making enemies with the other party, it is better to try to contact them and then obtain intelligence.

Koizumi actually supports this point. After all, what Patchouli said makes sense.

Instead of being timid, it is better to be proactive to avoid making unnecessary enemies due to caution.

Slowly, the girl was seen leading Koizumi and the others towards the Imperial Palace. As expected, this guy was related to Roman officials. After all, it could only be this way. What he said clearly revealed that he was an official. Not only that, but this guy's official position was probably not low.

"Is it really okay to run into that palace like this? I always feel like that palace is very dangerous..."

As a Servant and even more so a Shieder, Mashu will have a certain resistance to places like this.

But even so, Mashu could still feel the dangerous aura coming from above the palace.

"It's certainly dangerous, but just be careful...it should be fine..."

Judging from the behavior of the Roman citizens, this [qi] should only be aimed at magicians, and it may also be aimed at foreign magicians from outside Rome...

At least the Roman citizens did not notice anything unusual about this, but instead enjoyed it.

"My eyes hurt... so do I have to go in with my eyes closed?"

Ritsuka couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He closed his eyes, took Mashu's slender hand, and slowly followed behind Mashu.

"Leave it to me!" Patchouli slowly came to Ritsuka's side, slowly opened the magic book in her hand, and the magic power began to surge. A sea-blue light like the bright moon began to flicker, enveloping Ritsuka's eyes.

Gradually, the light faded, and Ritsuka realized that all the pain in her eyes had disappeared.

"Wow! That's amazing! I don't feel anything at all..." Ritsuka couldn't help but be surprised.

At the same time, the girl who saw this scene couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise, and then looked at Patchouli with interest, but for some reason, Patchouli saw a very strange look in the other's eyes.

That feeling was similar to the way he looked at Marisa with "great interest".

No way, the other party couldn't be that kind of person... MuQ... Patchouli couldn't help but say so in her heart.

"By the way, we're almost at the palace now, right? It's time for you to tell us who you are, right?"

Koizumi couldn't help but say this.

"Hmm...you're such an impatient man...Since you want to know my name so much, I'll tell you right here...Listen carefully!"

As she said this, the smile on the girl's face completely faded, and the aura of a superior burst out. Her eyes fixed on Koizumi and the others before her, and she spoke slowly with a serious expression.

"I am the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire—Nero Claudius!"

Chapter 528: Strange Singularity

"I am the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire—Nero Claudius!"

After the other party said this, Koizumi and the others were basically stunned, because—

It's the Year of the Four Emperors, so where did Nero Claudius come from? Wasn't he already dead?

And Nero Claudius was a woman or something, were those guys who wrote history blind?

Artoria was a bit easier to deal with. After all, that guy said she was pretending to be a man. Artoria's breasts weren't very plump, so it wasn't a problem to say she was flat-chested. Plus, she didn't look feminine at all when she wore men's clothes, so there was no problem for Artoria to pretend to be a man. But -

Nero Claudius's bust, are you sure it's still useful to pretend to be a man? So, Roman people, you are blind! Don't you feel guilty when you write history books about a woman who is so obviously a woman?

"Your Majesty Nero! This..." Mashu was speechless, her face full of shock.

The grass on Nero's grave is already five meters high. How dare you tell me that Nero is not dead?

Where did those four emperors die in the Year of the Four Emperors? Logically speaking, shouldn't they be the ones to receive us?

Could it be that Nero had all the rebellious emperors killed? Now that seems quite possible!

Now even Mashu wanted to curse out loud. What the hell is this singularity?

Koizumi's gaze flickered towards Patchouli, and the Command Seal on his hand began to emit tiny specks of blood-red light.

At this moment, Koizumi is using his contract to secretly communicate with Patchouli, which is also the wonderful use of the contract.

It's just that Koizumi himself rarely uses this ability. After all, it's only useful in situations like this.

"Pachuli, what do you think about this? Nero's grave is already fifty feet high, and now this guy shows up claiming to be Nero Claudius. Are you sure he's not kidding me? And this guy has..."

"There's absolutely no aura like that of a heroic spirit or the dead... The other party is a living person!"

Patchouli's bland voice echoed slowly in Koizumi's mind, but—

You don't need to tell me she's alive! I know she's alive! There's nothing wrong with my intuition!

Youyouzi (Journey to the West) also nodded slightly. She also realized that the other party was indeed a living person!

But why do I feel another aura from the other person? I can’t tell what that aura is, but one thing is certain, it is a very familiar aura. What is going on?

Youyouzi (Journey to the West) subconsciously stroked his chin, with a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

"Do you think there's any magic trick that can bring the dead back to life, Patchouli?"

Koizumi's imagination blossomed as he slowly asked.

"That's unlikely... After all, bringing the dead back to life is a divine power, and the mysteries of this era haven't reached that level yet... And in Gensokyo, where mysteries are stored, bringing the dead back to life is almost impossible. At most, you can meet someone in the underworld, but reviving them is impossible..."

Yuyuko (Xixingyao) was the first to deny Koizumi's speculation. Although she hadn't experienced the events of Gensokyo, she knew that resurrection was impossible. At most, they could extend a person's lifespan, using various means...

But the Nero in front of him didn't look like the result of extended life at all, and Youyouzi (Xixingyao) was sure of this. It was because of this that everyone present was feeling very troubled.

"Indeed, the mere fact that a living Nero appeared in this era is a complete rewrite of human logic! To some extent, this is already a fait accompli! It seems this singularity isn't that simple..."

There was a gleam in Patchouli's eyes, and her gaze was focused on Nero in front of her.

Seeing the shocked expressions on Koizumi and the others' faces, Nero couldn't help but reveal a look of great satisfaction.

In Nero's eyes, Koizumi and the others were just shocked by their own identities, which was perfectly normal.

If Nero wasn't shocked, he would be depressed. After all, he was a very talented artist. If he wasn't shocked, wouldn't it mean that he had no fame at all? It was really...

"Hmm, you are worthy of being Yu. Your name has spread to foreign lands. Just by saying my name, I can shock the distinguished guests from foreign lands!" Having said that, even a fool could see how narcissistic Nero is.

No wonder he said something like, "Is such a great artist going to disappear from this world?" before he died.

Anyone who says something like that is anything but a narcissist... Koizumi couldn't help but curl his lips.

Of course, it's narcissistic to complain about the other person, but he is still the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. Even if he has problems, you must respect him a little, otherwise... this is also disrespectful...

"It's His Majesty Nero. I apologize for my disrespect for what I did earlier. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Although I don't know what's going on, there is no doubt that I have to get some clues from the other party, otherwise I will never understand the inside story.

Since the girl is alive, this singularity is probably not that simple.

It's certain that Rome has problems, but now is not the time to fall out with them. Furthermore, Koizumi is also curious about what Nero had said he could do to help Rome.

If those guys who were rebelling were the same rebels in the Year of the Four Emperors, maybe he could just stab Nero to death. He also needed to know where the Holy Grail was. Could it be in Nero's hands?
