However, there are not enough materials now, and Morpheus needs to continue studying Japanese mythology and check the shape of the real sword Ame Murakumo. Only after all this is done can he start making Fujimaru Ritsuka's weapon.
Time passed quickly, and on the third day, everyone started a new trip.
They were about to travel to a new world, a world called Rome!
Chapter 149: One Arrow Solved
In 0060 AD, accompanied by the teleportation of the spirit particles, everyone once again came to a special time and space. Looking up at the sky, they could see that in this beautiful place, there was still that huge halo, just like when they were in France.
"Something very similar to the last time in France." Roman said into the communicator.
Morpheus muttered, "What is very similar is the same thing."
"Do you know what this thing is?" Roman asked immediately. Only then did he realize that he should have asked Morpheus. Maybe Morpheus, the mysterious magician who ran to the Age of Gods, knew the secret of the halo?
"The theoretical framework looks like the fifth law, which itself belongs to energy. You can think of it as the gasoline in an engine, or the magic power to perform a magic trick," said Morpheus.
Hearing Morpheus' words, Roman fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "I understand. I'll go talk to Da Vinci right away!"
"Any guesses?"
"We have some guesses, but we can't be sure yet. We still need to pool our wisdom!" Roman said, and immediately disappeared from the communicator. The person who replaced him was Olga Marie.
Olga Marie said to the others, "Now please confirm the area you are being transported to and the era you are in."
Mashu quickly checked the data related to the era and replied, "The era is correct. It is indeed the first century AD when the singularity existed, during the reign of Nero Claudius, the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. There is no mistake about that."
Then she looked around again, looking at the hilly area she was in, her eyes full of confusion.
"But we're not in the right place, it's a hilly area where we are."
"It's a hill. According to the coordinates, you should have been teleported to the capital of Rome. How come you are so far away?" Olga Marie was also confused at this time. She checked the data displayed on the machine again and confirmed that there were no errors in the positioning and so on.
Morpheus looked at the puzzled faces of the group and said directly, "I want to ask, who are we locating? Are we teleporting based on the longitude and latitude of the earth, or are there other points for teleportation?"
"Of course, that's not longitude and latitude. We use the corresponding character as the basis for positioning and then teleporting. For example, this time the character you are targeting is Nero. Since Nero will be in the palace, you will naturally be teleported nearby, which is equivalent to teleporting to the capital."
Olga Marie said this, thinking for a moment.
"It's strange. Although Nero poisoned the Empress Dowager Agrippina a few years ago, he shouldn't be in the crisis of his later years yet, so he shouldn't have left the palace... You should have gone to the prosperous capital of Rome, where the people love their emperor."
"The terrain here is flat. I don't think there's any problem even if there's a group of sheep grazing in the distance, Chief." Mashu's complaints were still sharp.
Morpheus yawned at this time: "Is there any need to be confused? There is no need to be confused. It is obvious that something went wrong with Nero, which is why this guy is not in his own city now. He was either driven out or killed and buried nearby. There is always a possibility that can explain the current situation."
After hearing this, several people had to admit that what Morpheus said made sense. Olga Marie said, "Indeed, this place is already a singularity. No matter what happens, there is no need to be surprised. You all should pay attention to your own safety, but you must also complete the mission as soon as possible!"
"No problem, I think I can get through here quickly, so it's okay to look around slowly and travel for a while, right?" Morpheus asked with a smile.
Olga Marie tried hard to resist rolling her eyes when she heard that, and whispered, "Confirm the information first, and then consider whether or not to travel after confirming the information!"
She was very clear about Morpheus's strength, so at this moment, her requirements were not so strict. She just asked him to conduct an investigation and collect intelligence first.
At this moment, the sound of metal clashing suddenly came from the distance, and besides that, there were human voices, the voices of people shouting and fighting.
Morpheus spread his hands and said, "Sure enough, something went wrong, right?"
Several people immediately ran towards that direction and soon saw a group of people in the distance.
It was a battle between two groups of people, one with a huge number of people and the other with a small number of people, but both sides used crimson and gold as their symbols, but the designs of their symbols were slightly different.
Among them, the leader of the group that led a small number of soldiers was a woman wearing red clothes. Looking at her appearance, one would instantly think of people like Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc.
Seeing this scene, Morpheus knew that he had found the real culprit.
"That's Nero." Morpheus pointed to a small number of troops and added, "The one leading them."
Everyone's attention was attracted by the figure of the woman, the woman called Nero by Morpheus. In the current battle, she was the one dealing with most of the enemies. She blocked a huge number of legions with her own strength, like a god of war.
There was no aura of a servant, she simply displayed such strength with her own human power.
Morpheus looked at the woman and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"A beast from this world? The 666 beast, but unfortunately, it has nothing to do with what I need..."
He still remembered some settings about Nero in FGO from his previous life, but the most popular one was that Nero was the 666 beast and the whore of Babylon.
If it were Morpheus at that time, he would probably be very interested in this topic, but unfortunately, after experiencing the world of A Certain Magical Index, Morpheus no longer had any interest in Nero and the 666 and the Babylonian Slut he so-called represented.
He was from the Golden Dawn faction, and relying on some knowledge from his previous life, he even tried to learn some things from Aleister Crowley, which naturally included some knowledge of Thelema magic.
Similarly, it also contains some other mythological knowledge.
These naturally include 666 and the Whore of Babylon, but no matter what, they have nothing to do with Nero!
"Go and help!" Mashu said, raising her weapon. Morpheus nodded, signaling Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka that they could take action. As for him, he still had to continue observing the situation at the scene, so he didn't plan to take action directly.
With the addition of Mashu, the battle situation suddenly became easier. After all, those soldiers were just ordinary people, while Mashu was a sub-servant and also had the ability to fight ten or even a hundred people at once.
Soon the battle was over, and the woman in red shouted loudly: "Okay, the battle is over, put away your weapons!"
She ordered her soldiers to put away their weapons, then looked at the few people who had just helped her: "And everyone, are you the reinforcements sent by the capital?"
Before anyone could reply, she continued, "I thought the capital was completely sealed off... Well, you should be rewarded.
"Even if I was once an enemy, it doesn't matter. I am magnanimous and will forgive past mistakes. More importantly, the battle just now was quite satisfying to me. A young girl like Ying Ruo could actually wield a weapon that was almost as tall as her...
"Well, I really like it! It has a strange beauty that is hard to describe!"
She even shouted to herself, "Alright, I'll allow you to fight alongside me and experience this supreme honor!"
Morpheus listened to these words and muttered silently in his heart.
"Oh my goodness, is this Nero from the Type-Moon world? Not to mention the bizarre setting of a woman being called 666mon, how could her brain...match Nero's? Is this still that bastard Nero?"
Morpheus couldn't help but raise his right hand and gently rub the bridge of his nose.
As a person who has been reincarnated as a British twice, Morpheus really can't stand Nero in his current state.
He believed that if he had the sword used by the British royal family when they inherited the throne, the holy sword called Katina, in his hand now, he would definitely chop it up without hesitation and chop her a few times first!
If I don't chop it off a few times, I'd be unworthy of being a British.
But then, Morpheus fell into self-doubt.
Is it really necessary to kill an emperor who looks like a fool?
"...But your attire is quite unusual. Aren't they a bit too revealing? Are you from a foreign country?"
Morpheus left all the negotiation matters to Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka. He maintained his composure at this moment and was too lazy to talk to the Roman tyrant.
As they walked along the road, Nero, who already knew that some of them were from foreign countries, asked with some doubt: "Since you are from foreign countries, where are you from?"
She glanced at Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Britain? No, the Far East? It doesn't look like it."
She not only judges based on appearance, but also on clothing, but the clothing is too difficult for her to judge.
"It's Chaldea." Ritsuka Fujimaru chose the most suitable answer from several answers, a mysterious name, a name that would not let the other party know his special identity.
Morpheus looked at Nero's confused expression from a distance and tried hard to resist the urge to roll his eyes.
The Chaldean Oracle isn't a very mysterious thing, how could you have never heard of it?
After some more communication, I finally understood what was going on in this place.
Not long ago, an organization called the United Roman Empire suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started a war against the orthodox Roman Empire to which Nero belonged. It was obvious that their intention was to wipe Rome out of the world and replace it with themselves.
Originally, walking and chatting like this could be considered as exchanging information.
It was obvious that the conversation between the few people could not continue because the enemy appeared again.
Seeing the huge number of soldiers, Nero couldn't help but reveal his anger: "Humph, that group of impatient United Empire soldiers! How dare they interfere with my music? How rude!
"Come on! Young lady dressed so boldly, be my shield!"
"Ah, hey, what!?" Mashu was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but look at Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Senior, we were being ordered around without realizing it."
This battle was also not very difficult. Morpheus was still watching the show from the side. Nero didn't say anything about it. After all, Morpheus didn't look like he had any fighting ability.
But the rest time was still not enough, because new enemies appeared, and that aura made everyone prepare for battle all of a sudden.
That is the breath of a servant!
A man wearing golden armor and with purple hair appeared here. He spoke incoherently, as if his sanity had evaporated.
"My dear... Yu Mei... daughter... ah."
"Uncle!" Nero shouted immediately, but then doubts returned. "No, that's not right. Let me call you that for now. What could possibly be the reason for you to wander around the world and become such a fool as to side with the coalition forces? Caligula!"
Mashu was immediately shocked. "Wait, she calls him Uncle? Are humans and Servants still related by blood in this era?"
At this time, taking advantage of Nero's opportunity to talk nonsense with the other party, Morpheus introduced Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.
“As our group advanced, we finally came across this exciting scene: Nero, the Roman king who had lost Rome, and his uncle Caligula, the third emperor of the Claudius dynasty.
"Look at Nero's face filled with shock. I think everyone has already guessed that Caligula died a long time ago. So why is he here? Let's continue to enjoy the history of love and hate in Rome!
"As for the lady who was surprised that Servant and Human are related, may I ask which Servant is not related to Human? Of course, if his bloodline is extinct, that's another matter."
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu rolled their eyes at Morpheus's introduction. Fujimaru Ritsuka complained, "Morpheus, are you really treating this place like a trip?"
Morpheus nodded immediately: "Of course. We have finally come to this era, how can we be worthy of ourselves if we don't travel a little?"
At this time, Caligula was still frantically talking about why he did this, but he spoke too slowly, and Morpheus was bored and took out his bow.
"What I... have done... is... the result... of fate. Offer... your... life, offer... your... body." He roared, his words filled with murderous intent, "Give me everything!"
He rushed over with weapons in hand, ready to fight with his descendants. Nero's face showed pain and helplessness, and Mashu was also ready for the battle.
But before anyone could make a move, a shining arrow flew out from behind them and directly hit Caligula who was rushing towards them with a roar.
The enormous force penetrated his chest, destroyed his heart, and ended his life in just a moment!
Chapter 150: One Man Makes an Army
Caligula stretched his hands forward helplessly. He wanted to say something and continue to question the other party why they resisted, but he could not say anything because his body had dissipated and turned into pure magic.
Nero couldn't help but fall into shock when he saw this scene: "He actually disappeared, my uncle actually disappeared..."
Mashu looked at the soldiers in the distance. With the death of Caligula, these soldiers began to retreat.
"My uncle might be the leader of that team. I didn't expect to see that face again..."
As she spoke, she looked behind her and saw that the man she had not paid attention to at first was now putting away a bow.
It was obvious that the shot just now was fired by the guy introduced as Morpheus.
"The one just now was obviously a Berserker. It's a pity that he was killed by Morpheus's arrow. Otherwise, we could see if someone was remotely controlling him." Olga Marie said to several people on the communicator.
"It must be remote control. I can guess who did it right away." Morpheus said.
Nero had naturally heard the voice as well. She asked, "Huh?! Since a while ago, there's been a woman whose voice I can only hear but can't see. From what I can tell, could she be a magician or something?"
"Just understand it this way. They and I all belong to Chaldea."
Roman wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Nero.
"That's all right, everyone. Although I'm not entirely sure about the situation of the missing person, your battle here was truly spectacular. I thought this woman was already very powerful, but I didn't expect that skinny man to possess such formidable fighting prowess. He deserves praise and commendation!"
At this moment, she finally began to introduce herself.
"Before asking about your identities, I must naturally start with me. I am the true protector of Rome, representing the very existence of Rome itself.
"Yes, I am the one who swore to the gods, the ancestors, myself, and the people that I would rebuild the empire! I am the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius!"
The self-introduction was full of momentum, but because of Morpheus's various spoilers, the group of people were not surprised at all and just looked at each other silently.
Seeing this indifferent reaction, she even revealed a smug smile: "Haha, you're scared, right? You're so scared that you don't even have any reaction at all!"
Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded hard and cooperated with each other.
This made Nero even happier: "Right, right. Very good, be surprised and be intoxicated by me, this is all at my mercy!"
Morpheus sighed again, this is a fool.
Leaving all the work of communicating with the Roman emperor to Mashu, Morpheus looked into the distance, wondering what he should do.
If a terminal is to be set up, then the most suitable place would probably be... the volcano in the distance.
Morpheus walked over to Fujimaru Ritsuka and pointed to the volcano in the distance: "Take Mashu with you and build the terminal there."
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with some confusion: "What about you?"
"I'm going to meet those opponents here. If I'm lucky, I can finish them off in one go?"
