The fifth is the fourth emperor of the Roman Empire, Nero’s father - Claudius!
The sixth is Gaius Julius Caesar, one of the three political giants in the late Roman Republic and the last descendant of the goddess Venus!
Without a doubt, the six Servants who descended from this singularity have made significant names in Roman history! Whether wise or tyrant, they all descended to protect the ancient Roman Empire they once ruled!
But then again, are all these servants summoned by the power of restraint?
That's not right! This is obviously not the case! After all, Nero's side is also one of the sources of distortion...
Or are these creatures not summoned by the power of restraint, but by some other factor? The Holy Grail?
Gu Quan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes... This is very strange!
"What's wrong?" Ritsuka looked at Koizumi in front of him and asked slowly.
"I'm not too sure. After all, this singularity is incredibly strange! There are many things we can't just casually judge! But..." Koizumi paused for a moment, a gleam in his eyes.
I can make the next move based on the actions of that Saber.
The opponent obviously wants to make himself an enemy. Does he want to balance the fighting power of both sides?
While balancing the fighting power, they depleted Rome's fighting power! Was Nero also one of the causes of the change?
Although there are too many doubts, the reason why the other party performed this action can be guessed...
"But what?"
Ritsuka and Mashu both turned their gazes towards Koizumi, a hint of doubt in their eyes.
"Nothing... Let's talk about it after we make contact with those Roman heroes..."
Koizumi shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
Chapter 552: Koizumi: I'll burn all the history books of Chaldea when I get back!
It is a well-known fact that Caesar is a handsome man. You know, according to legend, Caesar is the descendant of the goddess Venus, so there is one thing that is beyond doubt, that is - he is a handsome man who even non-human fairies would touch.
According to what Guquan observed in Rome these days, the Romans' vision is relatively normal.
At least when it comes to handsome men and beautiful women, their cognitive abilities are not a problem, Koizumi believes so.
But when meeting Caesar, Koizumi had to admit that these people were absolutely blind!
How the hell do you think a fat guy is a handsome guy?
If the other party hadn't claimed to be Caesar, Koizumi really wouldn't have known that this guy was actually Caesar!
Okay! I figured out that guy was a Saber while I was watching, but when Ritsuka mentioned that Saber was Caesar, Koizumi really didn't think about it that way!
Who was Caesar after all? In ancient Rome, there was a saying that clearly summarized Caesar.
——He is the woman of all the men in Rome, and the man of all the women!
A guy like this is undoubtedly a handsome man, but who is this fat man in front of him?
The corner of Gu Quan's mouth twitched fiercely. Looking at the man in front of him, he seemed so out of place no matter how he looked at him!
"When I get back, I'm going to burn down the history section of the Chaldea Library! Don't those history writers feel guilty for writing nonsense like this?" Looking at Caesar in front of him, Koizumi couldn't help but say fiercely.
Ritsuka, who was standing next to Koizumi, couldn't help but smile awkwardly but politely upon hearing this.
To be honest, she had heard before that Caesar seemed to be very handsome. After all, he was the descendant of the goddess Venus. In any case, after appearing as a Servant, he should have possessed an astonishingly handsome appearance because of the bonus of the legend. However, when Ritsuka approached him with anticipation, he seemed to be petrified.
Am I really crazy to believe the history recorded by those conscienceless guys?
Lixiang couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, but didn't say much. After all, Caesar was right in front of him. It would be too rude to express his disappointment openly in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Caesar looked at Koizumi and Ritsuka meaningfully and asked slowly.
Although the other party asked with doubt in his heart, Koizumi could tell that he was asking despite knowing the answer!
If he told the truth, it would only anger him. So, he was giving him a way out. Should he say, "As expected of Caesar?" Koizumi couldn't help but admire him, then he spoke slowly.
"Nothing, I'm just very surprised by His Excellency Caesar's arrival! After all, according to Ritsuka, six Servants have descended on Rome, and they can still display such combat power without a Master supplying mana!"
Koizumi wasn't wrong. After all, without any mana supply, Caesar and Romulus were able to display combat prowess that rivaled Boudica and the others. This was truly astonishing no matter how one looked at it.
Especially the Lancer Romulus before, who was able to expand his Noble Phantasm to such a large range and trap Berserker in the absence of magic power. This alone was very surprising.
Caesar nodded slightly, but didn't say anything about the surprise Koizumi raised.
Rome naturally has its own way of supplying magic, but I cannot tell you about that.
If they were not far away from Rome, they would not be at a disadvantage due to the supply of magic power.
"Well, although I already know this, I'd like to confirm that both of you are Nero's appointed court magicians, right... The techniques you displayed earlier are indeed worthy of being compared to Seneca..."
Caesar spoke slowly, his eyes casually glancing at Koizumi and Ritsuka in front of him.
Ritsuka still looked casual, and Caesar could already confirm that this was the guy's personality.
From the previous conversation, he guessed Ritsuka's personality. It was impossible for her to hide anything special from the people around her, and it was also impossible for her to become someone who was good at using political tactics.
Although Caesar was a conspirator, he also knew that playing power games all the time was very tiring!
But even though Caesar saw Koizumi for the first time, he was still able to see the fighting power that Koizumi possessed.
Ritsuka is only the Master of Mashu, while Koizumi is the Master of the remaining Servants. Being able to command so many Servants indirectly proves Koizumi's own qualifications as a Master.
"That's right, Ritsuka and I are both appointed by His Majesty the Emperor as court magicians..."
Although Ritsuka didn't leave a deep impression on Nero, after all, it was Koizumi who was doing all the talking...
Koizumi couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still had a very faint smile on his face.
"So what's her name? I already know this lady. Her name is Fujimaru Ritsuka. It's a completely different name format I've never seen before..." Caesar asked while complaining.
Indeed, according to the Roman name format, the name format in the Far East seems very strange.
"My name is Koizumi, and I'm from the Far East, just like Ritsuka..." Koizumi is Chinese, but he is indeed from the Far East.
After all, Gu Quan has always lived there. Although he is not from the Far East, he is indeed from the Far East.
"It's a rather strange name format..." Caesar couldn't help but complain, but didn't say much.
Gu Quan couldn't help but curl his lips. There was nothing he could do. After all, they were not from the same country, and their civilizations and customs were completely different!
"Well, both of you, please..." Caesar pretended to listen attentively and didn't say much. He just spoke these incomprehensible words to the two of them. However, smart people could hear the meaning behind them.
The other party wanted to hear about the purpose of him and his companions coming to Rome with their servants, as well as what happened before they came here. After all, why would the magicians from the Far East come to Rome, and why would they help Rome?
After a moment's silence, Koizumi glanced at Ritsuka and asked, "Didn't you explain our situation to him?"
Li Xiang shrugged. "It's not that I didn't say it, it's that I didn't have time to say it, okay? Just when I was about to say it, the golden light that fell from the sky chopped Patchouli severely. I didn't even have time to explain!"
Helplessly, Koizumi sighed deeply and slowly explained to Caesar in front of him.
Chapter 553 Explanation
Of course, Koizumi couldn't tell everyone about the events in Chaldea. After all, Koizumi was also wary of Rome.
You know, this time even Nero himself is a twisted place, these servants can only cooperate with me for a while, and in the end I may have to fight with Rome's servants! This is certain.
So while he could explain things to the other party, he couldn't tell them everything. Otherwise, Koizumi would have a headache. After all, for a guy like Caesar, if he only told him some things related to Chaldea, Caesar would probably guess that Koizumi might be here to repair things in this era.
Never underestimate the IQ of these people. If you start to trust others just because they trust you a little, it only means that you are too naive... These ancient people are not easy to deal with.
Take Altria for example. If you underestimate her because you think she is a foodie, then you should be prepared to be hacked to death.
Do you really think these heroic spirits are that easy to fool? They're not the kind of people who don't think at all... These heroic spirits have experienced a complete life and descended to this world. They're not as easy to fool as you think!
What's more, the people who came this time were the heroes of all ages in Rome, and the place they landed in was also ancient Rome. They would protect their country no matter what. Even though Nero was one of the distortion points, it did not necessarily mean that they would choose to stand on the side of the world. After all, do you think it is possible to make them the enemy of Rome?
Since that's unlikely, Koizumi knows he can't reveal everything.
Fortunately, when Ritsuka was talking to Caesar before, he was not tricked by Caesar...
Of course, Koizumi's explanation was simply that he and his group were magicians traveling the world to study magic techniques from different regions of the world. Then, someone betrayed them along the way, so they chased the traitor all the way to Rome to deal with him. Who knew that the traitor was so good at hiding? Just at this time, they heard that Boudica, who came from the underworld, had started a rebellion, so they suspected that the traitor was currently with Boudica, so they came to assist Rome.
Yes, this reason is very sufficient. After all, dealing with traitors is much more reliable than saving the world.
You come over here and tell Caesar you want to save the world, he'd think you were an idiot... And if this incident has anything to do with Nero, then there's no doubt that Koizumi and the others are courting death!
So instead of clearly stating my purpose, I'd rather just quietly pretend I'm from this era, and that I'm only here to deal with traitors! See how reliable that is! At least that's what Koizumi thinks.
By the way, Koizumi had already asked what Ritsuka had said to Caesar before he came to see Caesar, to avoid any conflicts between what Ritsuka had said and what he had said! So he had to ask clearly beforehand!
For someone like Caesar, if his words contradict each other, it would be a big problem!
And there is one most crucial thing, which is the difference between Nero and Caesar. From the brief contact between Gu Quan and Nero before, he could sense that Nero never asked about the background of talents when recruiting them. Otherwise, he would not have brought his group into the palace without hesitation the moment he saw him and his group.
Although it is a bit absurd, it also reflects Nero's principles in employing people.
But with Caesar, Nero's tactics were completely useless. As long as you had talent, Nero would employ you without hesitation! Even if you were a commoner, as long as you could serve Rome, it was fine. But forget about that talk of serving Rome with Caesar... This guy might be a political shrew, but Koizumi could tell he was more focused on a goal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken to me like he did before, saying things like "Please come in," and directly asking me to reveal my purpose for coming to Rome!
Clearly, this guy is a pragmatist...
So, give Caesar a more realistic goal...this is the most important thing!
"I see. So you think that traitorous magus among you is on the other side? No wonder... Does the other side also have a magus who can summon Servants? Was that swordsman also summoned by the other side? After all, I haven't heard that Boudica is a magus..."
Caesar said this with a look of understanding, which made Koizumi look puzzled.
In other words, Caesar did not know the reason why Boudica came or why Boudica's servants appeared.
In other words, Caesar didn't know about the Holy Grail? He also didn't know about the burning of human principles? That seems pretty normal...
After all, when Mary and the others were summoned, they didn't quite understand why they were summoned, nor did they know the reason why these crazy heroic spirits like Jeanne d'Arc and Alter appeared. They only found out after Chaldea explained the reason...
But - what if they didn't know about Nero? The trouble was, it was difficult for him to ask.
"That's right, that's why we suspect the traitor might be on Boudica's side!"
After all, Boudica was already dead, and her sudden return from the underworld made it seem like she was summoned by someone!
And from the previous battle with Boudica, Koizumi could already confirm that Boudica was an **enger!
A Servant whose job is "Engender," or Avenger! Her hatred for Rome drives her to fight continuously!
As long as Rome survives and Nero survives, the anger in Boudica's heart will never disappear!
"And the facts prove this. When I was fighting with him, I also sensed his aura!"
Of course, this was just something Koizumi made up. After all, Koizumi had never even seen Leif, so how could he possibly sense Leif's aura? This was just to give himself a reasonable excuse for his actions.
Li Xiang was slightly stunned. Why didn’t you tell us that you sensed Leif’s presence?
But soon, Ritsuka realized that Koizumi was actually talking nonsense! Koizumi had never met Leif before! So how could he possibly detect Leif's presence? At most, he could sense an unfamiliar aura!
"Since our goals are the same, then cooperation is possible! Although I appreciate your support yesterday, and one of our comrades was seriously injured, that was merely a personal matter! It cannot be placed above official business!"
Listening to Caesar's words, Koizumi secretly rolled his eyes. After all, Patchouli is used to it, isn't she?
I often suffer from asthma and vomit blood, so this serious injury is just a minor case.
Chapter 554 Ritsuka's Complaints
"You're really good at talking nonsense... Aren't you afraid that Caesar will notice something's wrong? I think Caesar is difficult to deal with..." After leaving, Ritsuka couldn't help but look at Koizumi in front of him speechlessly.
Even Ritsuka, who has a good compatibility with all Heroic Spirits, found Caesar difficult to deal with. This is enough to show how difficult this manipulative guy is to deal with. Not to mention Ritsuka, even Koizumi felt exhausted by the previous conversation. Living with a mask like this really makes people feel exhausted.
I don't know why so many people in this world are obsessed with political schemes. They're such a boring bunch. At least Koizumi doesn't really like political schemes, and he also thinks communicating with them is absolutely exhausting! Next time, I'll never communicate with them again. If possible, I'll find a Heroic Spirit who's good at political schemes!
By the way, are there any people in Gensokyo who are good at using power and schemes? Yukari is one, but are there others besides Yukari?
Koizumi wasn't quite sure about this, but he knew there were definitely guys like that.
After all, Gensokyo itself is a gathering of people who have been forgotten by the outside world. These people who have been forgotten by the outside world have various identities in the outside world, and there are even some people who hold high positions among them.
So there are indeed guys who are good at scheming, but it is not certain whether they can be summoned out by oneself.
"In this situation, how can you tell the other party the truth without talking nonsense? Rome is our enemy, that's already confirmed! Caesar accidentally revealed some important things..." At this point, Gu Quan's mouth corners slightly raised, and a gleam in his eyes. Although Caesar is very good at speaking, being good at speaking does not mean that nothing will be revealed. On the contrary, the other party is too secretive about everything, so some flaws were revealed.
Ritsuka looked at Koizumi with a puzzled look on his face. "Did he reveal a flaw? How come I didn't hear it?"
"That guy didn't let us meet the other Servants, namely Romulus's group. Moreover, when there was a clear shortage of magic power, he had no intention of asking us to help supply it. Of course, it is also possible that he doesn't trust us enough, so he didn't mention the other Servants. But I think Caesar and the others may have something that we can't detect, such as something they may have noticed because of the contract..."
Koizumi glanced around briefly, and when no one else was around, he slowly began to explain.
This is what Koizumi was thinking. Although there wasn't much evidence to support his idea, there was nothing wrong with his guess.
After all, this is indeed a bit strange, so Koizumi's guess is not wrong.
Ritsuka nodded slightly. Koizumi's guess was quite reasonable. Combined with the two guys Nero and Seneca who came back from the dead, the overall situation in Rome had indeed become very strange.
"If Rome is so strange, then why are we still here? Why not just defect to Boudica's side?"
Ritsuka's thinking was always so simple and crude. If Rome was in trouble, why not just go directly to Boudica? Even though Boudica was a **hero, wasn't the situation there simpler and more brutal than Rome's? After all, Boudica was a Heroic Spirit, while Nero and Seneca were resurrected from the dead. Clearly, the situation on Rome's side was more serious! Heroic Spirits, after all, were dead and couldn't interfere with the world of the living, but those who had returned from the dead were different!
