Use FGO to open the second dimension

Just as she had always treated herself from the perspective of a servant, Sakuya had also always treated herself from the perspective of a servant. Just as she was not used to being served by others, Sakuya would probably not be used to it if she did not serve others in this way. In Sakuya's eyes, since this was the order of the eldest lady, she naturally had to treat Koizumi like the eldest lady. Moreover, Sakuya could naturally hear from Remlia's tone that she valued Koizumi.

As long as it could make Remlia happy, Sakuya was naturally happy to do so.

"Come to think of it, the thing you just brought, could it be the food Nero had prepared for us..."

Koizumi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes turned to the food Sakuya had just handed him, his brows slightly furrowed.

In fact, Koizumi was still very worried about the Roman diet, just for one reason: the lead poisoning in Rome was too serious. Although Koizumi didn't know the details, it was normal to worry about lead poisoning when eating in Rome.

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything strange in there. As for the lead poisoning you're worried about, at least you don't have to worry about it now..." As she said this, Patchouli glanced at the food that was delivered.

"The food in the Roman court was mostly cooked in clay pots and served on silver, so you don't have to worry about these things. At least these things won't poison you to death."

"The main cause of lead poisoning among the Romans was the addition of lead powder to wine. The Roman Empire didn't have any sweeteners like sugar, but they loved a sweet and sour taste, so they mostly extracted lead from honey. However, the honey of that era wasn't sweet enough."

"Then, at some point, someone discovered that the lead used in making utensils imparted a wonderfully sweet taste to food when heated. Thus, this sweetener was created. So, you should worry about the emperor inviting you to a banquet and accidentally drinking lead... then you'll have to return to Chaldea for a gastric pump..."

Patchouli's words left Koizumi dumbfounded. How did you, a nerd who lives in ancient times in Gensokyo and knows so much about the outside world?

As if seeing through Koizumi's gaze, Patchouli spoke slowly and calmly.

"Although Gensokyo is closed, it still has some connection with the outside world. There are often many books coming in from the outside world, and I often read these kinds of books. Don't think of me as someone who only reads magic books. Marisa also often brings some strange books to me for appraisal. At that time, I already knew a lot of interesting things about the outside world. Now with the knowledge bestowed by the summoning, I also know a lot of things..."

Chapter 532: Damn! Is this the Alliance of the Dead?

As expected, Nero soon began to summon Koizumi and the others. Although it was expected, Koizumi was still a little nervous. After all, he had to face the emperor directly, which really gave Koizumi a headache.

After all, Gu Quan had some understanding of the tyrant's methods. That guy's rhetoric and other skills were not comparable to Gu Quan's. Gu Quan was still a little worried, that is, he was afraid of being led into a ditch by the other party.

Even Patchouli was fooled by the other party without realizing it. It was really...

"Is it really okay for us to go over like this? I'm still a little scared!" Koizumi couldn't help but look at Patchouli.

Patchouli rolled her eyes. Was it really necessary to do this? Although Nero looked very strange, one thing was certain: Nero had no intention of dealing with her group.

If Nero really wanted to deal with me and my group, he would never let me and others into the palace.

So there is no need to worry about this for the time being. We only need to abide by one thing, that is, any suspicious matters can be investigated secretly. As for the rest, if Nero needs our help, we can agree on the surface, and then slowly investigate the truth of the matter that the other party needs our help.

In other words, we must investigate which side Boudica is on.

If Boudica was just pursuing a personal vendetta, then both of them would undoubtedly have been beaten up.

Nero is definitely not needed in this era, not to mention that the opponent is not a heroic spirit but a living person.

If Boudica was fighting for personal revenge and completely disregarded the safety of the times, then she would undoubtedly be unnecessary in this era and would also have to be beaten up, isn't that right?

Of course, if the other party's target of revenge is only Nero, it is not impossible for me to help.

Back to the point, after hearing what Koizumi said, Patchouli nodded silently. Although she rolled her eyes, it was normal for Koizumi to be worried. After all, with Koizumi's experience, he might not be a match for Nero.

Nero is a king after all. Judging from the previous interactions between him and others, he is not a guy who can be underestimated. If we are not careful, we may be killed by him.

After hearing these words, Patchouli pondered for a moment, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Okay, we're going with you. If things don't work out, I'll speak up later, so you don't need to worry. And in my opinion, the emperor has no reason to attack us right now, otherwise he wouldn't be treating us so well! At least he still needs our help. But you have to be careful not to reveal that we're from Chaldea or anything related to Chaldea. Investigate everything secretly, and at least don't let Nero know!"

Patchouli spoke calmly, without any emotion in her tone, which made her look like a sage.

Although we don't know what Nero's intentions are, or whether she is aware of her own situation, one thing is certain, that is, Nero now completely regards herself as the Roman emperor of this era.

Therefore, the hidden truth here must be thoroughly investigated by myself and others no matter what...

Hearing this, Koizumi couldn't help but nod slightly. He actually felt relieved. With Patchouli and the others around, he wouldn't have to worry about being tricked by Nero.

Patchouli was very vigilant this time, so she shouldn't have to worry about any problems here.

"That's good! Honestly, I'm really scared of being tricked this time. For no apparent reason, the initiative has completely fallen into the hands of the other party. Now I can only make plans based on their actions. It's really frustrating!"

Koizumi curled his lips. If he wasn't afraid of this "living" Rome and the "Eye" Palace...

"Be careful... This time, the enemy is really not easy to deal with... Muq..."

Patchouli nodded gently, and then, led by a female slave, Koizumi and the others slowly made their way to the main hall of the Roman Palace. The most important thing was to face Emperor Nero...

"Your Majesty, your guests are here!" Slowly, Koizumi and the others arrived at the main hall of the Roman Palace.

At this moment, Nero seemed to have a headache. He gently covered his head with his right hand, his eyes slightly narrowed, and sat silently on the throne of the ruler. The aura of a superior emanating from his body from time to time made the slave who was calling out to the young emperor in front of him tremble in his heart.

This is also normal. There is a saying that living with the emperor is like living with a tiger, not to mention that the young emperor is a veritable tyrant.

Following such a tyrant, it was perfectly normal to feel terrified. Even Koizumi... was a little unpredictable about this tyrant's temperament. Koizumi was even afraid that he would suddenly attack him and the others.

"Hmm, you step back first!" Nero waved his hand slightly when he noticed Koizumi and the others approaching.

The next moment, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing palace robes and holding a wooden staff, suddenly appeared in the main hall. The old man seemed to be quite friendly and nodded slightly to Gu Quan and others.

"I am the court magician Seneca!"

Guquan: "..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: “…”

Mashu: “…”

Patchouli: “…”

Saigyouji Youyouzi (Xixing Yao): "..."

Izayoi Sakuya: "..."

MMP! A dead person inexplicably turned into a living person! What's going on with this singularity?

Is resurrection of the dead no longer a novelty these days? Or is it that the ritual of resurrection is very effective?

Would you like to lend me this technique? I'm really curious about your collective resurrection technique!

Koizumi and the others couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment, and at the same time, they were extremely shocked.

This is the second guy to be resurrected...

Seneca, an ancient Roman politician, Stoic philosopher, tragic writer, and orator.

He entered officialdom during the reign of Tiberius, served as imperial accountant and senator, and later served as consul of judicial affairs and tutor and advisor to Emperor Nero.

Throughout his life, he had many brushes with death during the reigns of three emperors of the Claudius dynasty of the Roman Empire. In 65 AD, due to the assassination attempt by his nephew, the poet Lucan, Nero was suspicious and forced to confess his involvement in the murder, which he then ordered to take his own life.

That's right, he was sentenced to death by Nero, but now this guy who has been dead for who knows how many years and whose grave grass is taller than Nero's is actually resurrected now, and he and Nero seem to be getting along very well as friendly king and subject?

Are you sure the world isn't kidding me?

Chapter 533 Half True, Half False

Of course, Nero didn't notice the shock on Koizumi's face, which was perfectly normal. Koizumi and the others had said before that if possible, they should try their best not to let Nero notice anything unusual on their part.

Even though he knew that a member of the Dead Resurrection Alliance had suddenly appeared, there was no expression on his face.

No matter what, Nero couldn't be made to notice anything unusual... That's what Koizumi and the others thought.

"Hmm... How are you, my dear guests, resting? Although we are still in a time of war, I don't want to neglect your rest because of something like this! Otherwise, it will be Rome's fault!"

Nero's voice is as cute as ever, completely different from Altria's stern voice.

Although the two look slightly similar, their personalities and voices are completely different.

Even their personal characteristics such as eye color indicate that these two people are completely different people!

Having said that, I just realized one thing, that is, Nero looks quite like Altria.

At first, I was slightly distracted by the other person's cute voice, but now that I think about it...

"Change her bra size and clothing to match Artoria's. As long as Nero doesn't say anything, who can tell her apart from Artoria?" After carefully observing her for a moment, Koizumi couldn't help but grumble slowly.

After hearing this complaint, Li Xiang couldn't help but twitch his lips, but didn't say anything.

Of course, no matter how much he complained, he still had to respond to Nero's words, because he was a king after all.

There is no doubt that the other party is a king, and not replying would undoubtedly be extremely rude.

"We had a good rest and were not bothered by trivial matters. Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Koizumi wasn't lying. Although Roman culture was quite difficult to adapt to, thanks to a certain dream master, as long as he fell asleep, everything was fine. He often had sweet dreams, which was very comforting.

As for the others, Koizumi wasn't too sure. After all, they weren't favored like he was.

"Hmm! It's naturally best to satisfy our distinguished guests! As I said before! Rome welcomes all friends from foreign lands, but I forgot to ask before, where are you from?"

Nero looked down at Koizumi with her emerald green eyes and asked slowly.

"My companions and I are from the Eastern Kingdom!" Koizumi explained slowly.

"The East? Parthia? But as far as I know, the clothes you and your friends wear don't conform to the folk traditions of Parthia!" As Nero said this, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

It was obvious that the Young Empress was warning Koizumi and the others not to treat her as someone who knew nothing!

But Koizumi wanted to ask him, where is Parthia? I've never heard of this country!

Well, I'm sorry for my half-baked history! Rome is pretty much known to everyone, but Parthia is definitely unknown! After all, Japan is also known as the Far East, so Koizumi also claims to be from the East.

However, if I call Parthia by another name, perhaps Koizumi would understand.

The Parthian Empire, the Second Persian Empire, was a slave empire in the Iranian region of western Asia during the classical period.

It was a country made up of different cultures, which had absorbed a great deal of art, architecture, religious beliefs and royal symbols from Persian, Greek and other regional cultures.

Although Nero didn't have a deep understanding of Parthia's customs, the only thing he could confirm was that the clothes worn by Koizumi and the others were definitely not those of Parthia. This was absolutely certain!

"We come from a place further east than Parthia, a place called Japan, so we are not Parthians!" Compared to Koizumi, Patchouli, as a sage, clearly possesses more knowledge.

So, when Koizumi was unable to continue answering, Patchouli silently stepped forward and began to explain.

Patchouli was not wrong. After all, it was not the Far East of this era, but from the future world.

"Hmm... I see... Then why have these distinguished guests come all this way?"

Nero didn't bring up the idea of ​​helping Rome first, but instead kept the conversation focused on Koizumi and the others.

He seemed completely calm, completely different from the enthusiasm he had shown during his previous conversation with Koizumi and the others.

After taking a quick glance at Seneca, Koizumi roughly guessed that it was the work of this court magician. Although the young emperor had forced her mentor to death, this mentor must still hold a very important position in her heart.

"We are magicians, so naturally we want to conduct research on magic all over the world. Magic in different countries is different, so it is certainly worth studying, and Rome is the top priority!"

Patchouli said calmly, then went on to bring up another matter, "On the way of our research, a traitor strayed from our path, so we also have our reasons for pursuing him, and that's why we came all the way to Rome!"

Completely true words must never be spoken, and completely false words do not sound authentic at all. If he came to Rome for pure magic research, he would be worried that there would be mistakes. What if he met Lev Lenore, the traitor from Chaldea on Ritsuka's side? It would be difficult to explain then.

In this case, it is better to be half true and half false. After all, finding this magician named Leif is just a matter of convenience. The main purpose is actually to carry out the restoration of the era... Of course, if Leif is in Rome, and the resurrection of Nero and others is because he used the power of the Holy Grail, then it is also possible to deal with him in one go.

The only thing that worries them is the ominous feeling that this living Roman city brings to Koizumi and the others.

After Patchouli said this, Patchouli, Mashu, Yuyuko (Xiyouyao) and Sakuya immediately became alert. If Leif was here now, he would probably choose to launch a sneak attack.

Mashu needs to protect Ritsuka, Sakuya and others also need to protect Koizumi, while Patchouli is on guard against the court magician Seneca and Emperor Nero!

Everyone's gaze converged on Nero and Seneca in front of them.

If they do anything special, Patchouli will immediately use her Seven Stars Magic!

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chapter 534 Appreciation

Nero seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality at the scene and just slowly asked.

"What's the traitor's name? Tell me, maybe I've seen him before..."

Nero's reaction surprised Koizumi and the others. Was he completely unaware of their vigilance?

No, it’s not that he didn’t notice it, but he pretended not to notice it. What he meant was, doesn’t the other party intend to fall out with Zi?

Although he was aware of the vigilance of himself and others, he pretended to be completely unaware and continued to talk to himself normally.

Nero didn't need to get too upset with Koizumi and the others over unnecessary matters. He only needed to provide what they needed when the other side needed his strength and he needed their combat power.

So when faced with the vigilance of Koizumi and the others, Nero didn't say anything, but just continued to ask questions.

It seems that the other party has nothing to do with Leif... Patchouli said secretly in her heart.

If there was a connection, the other party should have taken action the moment I said those words.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party intends to use the combat power of oneself and others, and then appear to deal with oneself and others after they are no longer of any use value. The possibility of playing with oneself and others also exists. In short, you should be careful.

It is also important to pay attention to the expression on the other person's face while talking to him/her.

"Lev Lenore, that's the name of the rebellious magician. He killed many of our companions and betrayed our way of magic. We are currently searching for him. Your Majesty, have you heard of this name?"

Koizumi bowed slightly and slowly spoke to Nero before him.
