"I've been tormented by it today. Tell me, what should I do?"
......
When Tamamonomae finished all this, Nero spoke.
"Is Lixiang here? I want to talk to her."
"Ma——st——" Tamamonomae deliberately stretched out her voice, which suddenly brought Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was originally in deep thought, back to his senses. After seeing the fox's subtle eyes, he hurriedly trotted to their side.
"Your Majesty Nero."
"Thank you."
"Well, it's just a simple favor, Your Majesty. It doesn't mean you should be appointed as a governor."
Nero was amused by her behavior. She said with a smile: "How about this? I will appoint you as the Governor of Britain and make you the Earl of Glamorgan. How about this?"
"I am sorry to hear your words, Your Majesty."
"Haha, I knew it would be like this."
With just a few words, Nero turned the original atmosphere of life and death (?) into an extremely relaxed topic. Of course, this was just a diversion. Nero really had something to explain, and Ritsuka also discovered this.
"Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka, I am here to thank you for saving me completely. If it weren't for you and Tamamonomae's combined efforts, I would have probably already embarked on that path now."
"That road?"
"The Regalia is the key to that path. I'm sure you've discovered it, Tamamo."
Tamamonomae nodded solemnly at this topic. As a Servant who had just used Regalia, she knew exactly what the end of this road was.
——That is a memory I absolutely don’t want to recall again.
"Lord Fujimaru Ritsuka, if you encounter someone like Yu and Tamamo in your future travels, you can use the Regalia."
Nero coughed a few times, and the white scarf on her chest was covered with blood. She stopped Ritsuka's behavior in time and continued to explain her own affairs.
"——Please, please, please do not use the Regalia. Lord Fujimaru Ritsuka, please remember what I said here today."
"I remember."
"that is good......"
After hearing Ritsuka's assurance, Nero finally smiled with relief. She leaned against the wall completely and closed her eyes.
"…It's over, Tamamo."
"Yes, it's over, Ritsuka." Tamamonomae put her hand on Ritsuka's shoulder, pretending to massage his shoulder.
"So can we discuss why so many Command Spells are used, Migu?"
"It hurts, it hurts, Tamamo, please let go--!"
"No! We need Ritsuka's guarantee, Migu!"
"I was wrong. I'm so sorry!"
After Tamamono stopped her attack, Fujimaru Ritsuka was finally able to explain the Chaldean specialty Command Spell while pinching his shoulders and explaining to Tamamonomae.
“Migu?! There is such a good thing, Migu? I can actually recover a Command Spell Migu in a day?!”
"Of course it is. How could I possibly lie—"
Fujimaru Ritsuka fell down, and she fell into Tamamonomae's arms. After seeing the collapsed Golden Theater, Tamamonomae realized that the mission had been completed and disappeared here with Ritsuka...
"...Fuwu! Fufuwu!"
This was the sound that Fujimaru Ritsuka heard. It was probably the white dog barking in his ear again.
"...I'm sorry. My reluctant and rude behavior put the Master in such danger. I'm very sorry."
"No! I am the one who should apologize! If it weren't for the fate between me and Fujimaru Ritsuka-kun, I would probably be in my dream now and won't wake up!"
"senior?"
Saber and Caster, who were originally apologizing, looked in the direction of Mash's surprised voice. Ritsuka was leaning on the bed with a Fufu on his head, watching their little drama with interest, eating an orange in his mouth, looking like a spectator.
"Huh? What's wrong? Aren't you guys going to continue rehearsing?"
"senior!"
"Um...don't get so close, Mashu..."
After seeing Ritsuka finally wake up, Nero and Tamamonomae looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. If something really happened, they would be responsible.
"Then Master, I won't bother you any more."
"Me too, keep up the good work, Ritsuka-kun!"
The red and blue figures hurried out, leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka himself confused.
"Why do these two people seem to be hiding something from me..."
Outside the courtyard, although he had gone through an intense mental battle, not much time had passed. He had only been lying there for two hours at most.
"So why are we apologizing? We could have done something more practical like taking a nap."
"You're in such a hurry to apologize, Nero, that I can't stop you."
......
“200+60+100+50+6+200+50=?”
"Solis?"
Nero and Tamamonomae looked at each other, and after getting the answers they wanted, they both shook their heads helplessly and sighed.
PS1: I thought the title would be understandable to everyone.

Chapter 079 If you come back, please go to the lighthouse with me.
There were only a few clouds in the sky, and along the coastline were a series of islands, channels, and bays. The shore was a deep green that stretched into the valleys and gradually turned into black and gray in the mountains.
Alvin stood at the bow in a white robe. This time, the ship he was on was a sloop, and there was no one else except a few sailors.
This matter started with the previous dispatch of a Venetian fleet to Rhodes to block the strait.
This morning, Balto, the captain of that Venetian Armada, found himself through the connections of Constantine XI.
"I have something I have to report to you."
"What's going on?" Yawning, Alvin opened the door and let him in. It was still early in the morning, with only a faint red shadow in the east. "Is it a food problem? There should be enough food in the city."
"That's not it," he said. "Remember those troops who blocked the channel at Rhode Island?"
"Well, what happened?"
"That's where the Knights Hospitaller are stationed, but news came from there yesterday."
He was a little worried when he said this, and he looked back at the Hagia Sophia outside the window. In this late spring season, the tulips on both sides of the church were in full bloom. Although it was still dawn, he could still smell the rich fragrance of flowers in the air. He expected that during the day, the scenery here would definitely make people intoxicated.
"Our people found traces of Germans there."
"Does Frederick III want to do something big, like a crusade to retake Jerusalem again?"
"No, those people have nothing to do with the Holy Roman Empire," Captain Balto said.
"They are the Teutonic Knights."
Alvin couldn't keep calm now.
The Teutonic Knights, also known as the German Knights, were officially called the Order of Our Lady of Jerusalem, the German Brothers of Jerusalem. They are one of the three major knightly orders along with the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights Templar.
Among the three major knightly orders, the Teutonic Knights was the last to be established, but it was the one with the greatest influence. The black cross on a white background was an extremely important symbol on the military flags of the Second Reich, the Weimar Republic, and the Third Reich.
According to pan-human history, the current time point should be the time when the Prussian Confederation and Poland formed an alliance, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back after 13 years of war.
"Shouldn't they be preparing for war in Poland at this time?"
The news of the alliance between the Prussian Confederation and Poland came a few months ago, and Barto could not have been unaware of this.
"Perhaps they are trying to find a way out. After all, the situation is different now. Anyone can see that the Teutonic Knights are doomed."
In 1410, a large-scale battle broke out between the Order of Knights and the Polish-Lithuanian Confederation near Tanenberg. This battle was the largest knight war in the history of medieval Europe. The Knights of the Order had fewer troops than the Allied Forces. The Grand Master of the Order, Ulrich von Joningen, was killed in the battle. The Order fell into chaos, and many knights fled the battlefield. The Allied Forces seized this opportunity to launch a charge and defeated the Knights of the Order.
The Battle of Tanenburg dealt a devastating blow to the Knights, and the Knights State began to decline. In the end, it can be summed up in one sentence:
My lord, times have changed.
"We can all see the racial advantages of the Germans. I think Constantinople will need them now."
This is what Balto said to Alvin before he left, and now Alvin repeated it to them, asking for their opinions.
"The blond, blue-eyed, tall Germans are indeed worthy of our efforts. Moreover, considering that the current situation of the Teutonic Knights is not very good, it should not be a big problem to hire them."
"It is worth mentioning that they have high combat skills and are well-equipped. Even if we cannot win them over, we should at least keep them neutral."
El-Melloi II and Leonardo da Vinci both gave their opinions, and the two heroes defending the city had nothing to object to. On the contrary, it was true that they hoped to have as many people as possible.
But at this time, Romulus raised a question that was both important and seemingly useless.
"Although the Teutonic Knights have been excommunicated and their legitimacy has been questioned, they are still Catholic knights after all. Doesn't this conflict with the Orthodox Church?"
What Romulus said is not without reason. As the founding emperor of Rome, he was well aware of the importance of the matter. In that era, it took a lot of effort to promote Roman polytheism to the natives who believed in fetishism, not to mention the current situation.
"Regarding this point, God Ancestor, I think I have a good solution."
Alvin spread out the map, which covered the entire eastern Mediterranean. He picked up a chopstick and pointed to an island in the Aegean Sea.
"According to the information that has been released, the Teutonic Knights are currently stationed on Rhodes Island, which is also the base of the Knights Hospitaller, one of the three major knightly orders. Regardless of why the Knights Hospitaller allowed them to do so, I don't think we have no chance just because they are also fighting against the Ottomans."
"So, who will go to Rhodes Island to negotiate with the Knights?"
"Of course it's me."
A few hours later, the Golden Horn.
After the sun rose from the east, the dock, which had been silent all night, became lively again. A sloop was docked at the shore. Before the sailboat set sail, Alvin was chatting at the dock with Leonardo da Vinci who came to see him off.
"How many times has this happened?"
"If I remember correctly, this should be the second time."
"Really? That's not all I remember."
Da Vinci was a little angry. She was angry not only because Alvin ignored her condition to travel together, but also because of Alvin's behavior.
"You have to compensate me." She said dissatisfiedly. They were on the same side, so why did she feel like a burden?
"At your service, beautiful lady. Please state the terms."
"When you come back, take some photos of the remains of the Colossus of the Sun in the harbor, as well as the local sculptures. I need to study them."
Before a certain crutch came out, when people talked about Rhodes Island, what they thought of most was the Colossus of the Sun, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Even though it only existed for 56 years, it did not affect its status at all.
"Ah."
"And... accompany me to visit the cathedral and the lighthouse, okay?"
She used a different tone, one she had never used before, and Da Vinci himself was a little nervous.
"Okay."
Chapter 080: Coming to help the Knights out of trouble!
The late spring in Rhodes was calm. Under the colorful sunshine, huge waves rolled up white foam and swallowed up the beach. The trees on the shore were blown into arcs with similar curvature by the wind from the Aegean Sea, and scattered everywhere like stranded waves. This white island far away from the Greek peninsula is really a cold wonderland.
"We've arrived at Rhodes." Alvin saw the port. On both sides of the port, one could see the remains of huge buildings. Those must be the remains of the Colossus of Helios, the god of the sun.
After entering the port, there is an ancient embankment in front of you, which is used for mooring ships. Merchant ships coming and going docked there to load and unload goods, and often moored there in rows, but this was a long time ago.
Rhodes, an island in the Aegean Sea, is one of the birthplaces of Aegean civilization. There are quite a few legends about alchemists. Its name comes from the ancient Greek word P�οδον (rose).
Pindar, an ancient Greek poet, wrote that Rhodes was the product of the union of the sun god Helios and the goddess Rhodes. During the heyday of the island, a huge statue of the sun god was erected, which became one of the seven wonders of the world.
——Although it only existed for 56 years.
During the Crusades, the Knights Hospitaller occupied the island and renamed it the "Knights of Rhodes", becoming an important presence in the island's history. The island was their headquarters from 1309 to 1523. While turning Rhodes into a famous fortress, they also left many medieval buildings on the island. Its upper city is the most beautiful city, with the Governor's Mansion, the Great Hospital and the Knights' Avenue; the lower city is Gothic buildings and squares.
After the Genoese attacked the Aegean Sea that day, the ships that were decided to split up and blockade the strait were stationed here. Those small ships had been squeezed to several other docks by the huge caravels. This was because the conditions at the Rhodes Port were excellent, otherwise ordinary ports would not be able to cope with it.
When Alvin got off the boat, the Venetians who had been waiting for a long time were as excited as if they had seen a savior.
