"Step back, General Sophnius." Just when the general of the Guard was at a loss, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Your Majesty." Upon hearing this voice, the general named Sophnius almost subconsciously knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

With this address, Nero, dressed in mythological ceremonial attire and holding the Primordial Fire, slowly walked in from outside the encirclement of the Guards. He stared at the two servants who were comparable to the gods and said, "This is the city of Rome. No matter what grudges you have had in the past, please do not resort to violence in this city of Rome."

"Who are you?" After taking a close look at Nero, Kenis asked.

"How dare you! This is His Majesty Nero!" Sophnius stood up and shouted angrily.

"Oh? The emperor of the Roman Empire?" He looked at Nero meaningfully, then suddenly smiled and said, "So, the emperor of the Roman Empire is a woman?"

Hearing this merciless ridicule, Nero frowned, looked at the guy with a pair of...donkey ears on his head, and said: "You, are Katniss?"

"Yes, I am Katniss." Katniss nodded and pointed the spear in his hand at Nero: "Why, Your Majesty, do you also want to see the power of the spear in my hand?"

……

"Prince Bomby, tell me, who will win if they really fight?" On the roof not far away, the Elector with obvious European features looked at the battlefield with interest and asked.

“It’s hard to say.” Prince Bambietta shook his head. “After all, this isn’t FGO. Combat power can’t be measured by star rating. Also… in our world, Katniss hasn’t appeared yet. We know nothing about her combat power and treasures, so it’s hard to judge.”

PS: The previous description is a little wrong. Let me add that the master's strength is undoubtedly enough to rival God, but if we really look at her divinity, she is just a human. According to the original description, she entered the realm of God as a human, so she is a person with the power of God. She is called a demigod because she has the fighting power that can rival God, but she does not have divinity.

Chapter 375: Agrippina the Younger is dead!

Katniss walked away, leaving the central square.

She had already learned from Gilgamesh that the emperor in front of her had obtained the power of heroic spirits. Together with Scathach next to her, whose fighting power was enough to rival that of gods, that meant that if a fight really came to a head, she would be facing two heroic spirits.

Moreover, there is another being in this city who has been blessed by a heroic spirit. If time goes on, then in the end, he will most likely face the siege of three heroic spirits.

After a little consideration, Katniss decided it would be better to avoid the attack for the time being.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Not long after Katniss left, Tony also arrived at the central square.

"Ah, brother~" Looking at Tony who just got off the carriage, Nero grinned, came to Tony, reached out and touched his head and said: "How is it, brother, what do the Sassanid Kingdom say~"

"Sasan Kingdom?" Tony snorted and said, "I think the king is just treating us like fools."

"Hmm, then just ignore them~" Nero took Tony's hand and came to the city square: "Look, brother, this person is also a heroic spirit."

"Ah? I know." Tony took a deep breath, gently broke free from Nero's hand, and came to Scathach: "Nice to meet you, Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, my name is Tony, Tony Claudius Augustus Germanicus."

"I've heard of you, His Royal Highness Prince Oddni." Looking at the young man in front of her, Scathach nodded expressionlessly.

As the governor of the British province and the lord of Oddney, Scathach had certainly heard of this Roman prince who controlled almost half of the British Isles, but... she was a little curious, why could Tony recognize her at first sight?

As the lord of the demon world, Scathach was not surprised that Tony knew his name. However, Tony should not have seen him before, so how did he recognize him?

"Well, I'm a little sorry about Katniss..." Tony rubbed his hands, not knowing how to start the conversation with Scathach for a while.

"So that person's name is Katniss? Well, this should have nothing to do with Your Highness, right? Your Highness, there is no need to apologize for her." As she spoke, Scathach suddenly frowned and said, "Speaking of which, Your Highness, I do have something I want to ask you."

"I know what you want to ask." Tony sighed and glanced at Scathach.

Although this is not stated in Type-Moon's history, in Celtic mythology, Big Dog, the mythical version of Makoto, can be said to be a true humanoid self-propelled artillery. In mythology, Big Dog has a very ambiguous relationship with the Master, so... it is reasonable that the Master pays more attention to Big Dog.

"How about this, let's find a place to sit down first." Tony touched his nose awkwardly and turned to look at his sister.

Scathach...

Nero nodded slightly. She had also heard of the name Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows and the Lord of the Demon Realm. Compared to Katniss, Scathach seemed... to have no reason to attack her brother.

But how did my brother get to know Scathach?

Although I am very confident in my brother, he is still young and doesn't know the dangers of the world, especially since the other party is a BBA who has been alive for an unknown period of time. If he really has any intentions towards me, I will be eaten up by him without leaving anything behind!

So, without a doubt, Nero chose to go with his brother to have a good talk with the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom in the name of protecting his brother's safety.

After booking the tavern, Tony looked at Scathach sitting in front of him. After a short silence of two seconds, he said, "You want to ask about Cu Chulainn, right?"

"Yes." Scathach nodded: "I know that Cu Chulainn was sent to the front line to stop Sefalu. I want to know what Cu Chulainn's situation is now."

"Ah..." Tony sighed, looked at Scathach, and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile before saying: "Cu Chulainn... before I went south, he and several heroes and gods went ahead to stop Cefalu. According to a guy named Rosa who was watching the battle on the spot, Cu Chulainn has died on the battlefield over there. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have returned to the Throne of Heroes by now."

"...Is that so." After a long silence, Scathach suddenly took a deep breath, stood up, nodded slightly to Tony and said, "I see. Thank you very much."

After saying this, Scathach nodded slightly to Nero and then left the tavern.

"Come on, brother, let's go back too~" After Scathach walked out of the tavern, Nero stood up, stretched, and pulled Tony back to the palace.

"Ah... When will my younger brother grow up~" As soon as he returned to the palace, Tony saw Nero holding the waistcoat on his right arm, tilting his head and muttering to himself.

???

What the hell? !

Looking at Tony who looked confused, Nero chuckled and said, "If my brother grows up, then..."

Just as Nero finished speaking, a guard suddenly opened the door in a panic, stumbled and knelt in front of Nero, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Highness! I just received news that... the Queen Mother has passed away!"

The Queen Mother? Agrippina the Younger?!

Tony was stunned when he heard the title of Queen Mother, and then he suddenly realized that Agrippina the Younger was dead? !

According to the history of the world Tony lived in in his previous life, after Nero ruled the Roman Empire for five years, he could not stand Agrippina the Younger threatening him with the possibility of his younger brother inheriting the throne, so Nero killed Punicus and then executed Agrippina the Younger. However, in this world, because Nero was a woman and there was no such person as Punicus, as well as for various other reasons, not long after Claudius was poisoned, Nero chose to exile his mother.

So here comes the point, where was this queen mother exiled to?

After all, she was his biological mother, so Nero did not make things too difficult for Agrippina the Younger. After exiling Agrippina the Younger to a small town at the foot of the Alps, Nero chose his own mother.

She knew that her mother had an extremely strong interest in power. Although Nero did not care about the throne, she did not want to see her mother stirring up trouble behind her back and causing her and Tony to kill each other.

However, Agrippina the Younger, under heavy house arrest, or in other words, under heavy protection, was assassinated and died on the spot!

Who did this? !

PS: My fault, my fault. I just noticed today that I missed three thanks last month. It’s my fault and I have to take the blame myself. Thanks to “Xia Fengyou” for the two blades, “Mo Bai_Du” for the two blades, and “Hua Zhi Tyrant Youxiang” for the two blades QAQ

I just noticed this today, I'm so sorry

Chapter 376: Damn, I forgot this is also my mother!

Agrippina the Younger is dead!

Although Agrippina the Younger was not a glorious character in history, and although Agrippina the Younger was already under house arrest by Nero at that time, although...

There is no such thing as "although", after all, she is still my mother-in-law!

Oh, it seems she is still the nominal mother?

Okay, let’s not talk about the identity issue for now, let’s first talk about the relationship between Nero and Agrippina the Younger.

The relationship between Agrippina the Younger and Nero was not actually very good.

In the history of the world where Tony lived in his previous life, Agrippina the Younger hoped that her son would become a successful person. In this world, Agrippina the Younger also hoped that her daughter would become a successful person. Because of the adoption inheritance system, Agrippina the Younger's selfishness, and Tony's disappearance, Agrippina the Younger had high expectations for Nero.

She was obsessed with Nero becoming the head of state and the ruler of the Roman Empire.

Since childhood, Nero received a cram-style education. In addition to learning skills related to governing the country, Agrippina the Younger also went around and asked the Senate to break the age limit and grant Nero some social positions in advance.

In today's view, this is actually the same as most parents in modern society. They want their children to be successful, worry about their children's studies and work, hope that they will find a popular major, and will run as much as possible for their work.

And Nero was just like a normal young man.

Nero did not like to learn skills related to governing the country. She liked art and Greek culture. She wanted to do what she loved. She was like children of the same age in modern society. She did not like to study, and even more so did not like this kind of rote learning. Therefore, the conflict between mother and daughter broke out.

No matter how much she scolds or quarrels, how can a mother not like her own children? At most, she will be disappointed with her daughter and blame her father for not being able to make her son a successful one… ahem, she is disappointed with her daughter, so this mother will more or less beat her daughter or threaten her.

And what about Nero? Although she was rebellious, she was still facing her own mother. She hated her mother, hated her for forcing her to learn things she didn't want to learn, hated her for depriving her of the right to entertainment, but... she was still her own mother.

So after Agrippina the Younger poisoned Claudius, she chose to exile her mother rather than execute her.

Considering that his mother had a strong desire for power, and in order to prevent Agrippina the Younger from instigating his brother to go to war with himself, Nero made up his mind to put his mother under house arrest. Of course, I said it was house arrest, but considering that she was more or less his mother, and considering that he would fall out with the Senate, Nero decided to send a certain number of troops to protect Agrippina the Younger.

And now, Agrippina the Younger is dead, dead in this villa where she was imprisoned.

Moreover, it was murder.

If it was suicide, Nero might feel better, after all, his mother had a strong desire for power, and it was understandable that she committed suicide under house arrest.

But he killed, that's too much!

"What's the situation at the scene? Has the assassin been caught?" Nero took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and asked.

"This..." The guard raised his head and glanced at Nero cautiously, and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that there were more than ten assassins at the time. Except for the two assassins who escaped, the rest... basically committed suicide."

"Does that mean there are no survivors?" Tony raised his eyebrows subconsciously and asked.

"Yes." The guard nodded.

"What about the assassins who died? Do they have any tokens that can prove their identity? Or is there anything else that can roughly identify them? For example, tattoos or skin color."

"Well... Your Highness, based on their appearance, we can only conclude that they are not true Romans, or they should not be Roman citizens. As you know, there are many other races in the country now, so... it's hard to judge." The guard looked at Tony with some embarrassment and said.

"Tsk." Tony shook his head, turned his head to look at his sister, opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh and say: "Sister... please... accept my condolences."

"Ah?" Nero, who was a little sad, looked at Tony subconsciously with some doubts after hearing what Tony said, and asked: "Brother, this... Aren't you sad?"

???

Fuck! I forgot this is my mom too!

Because there is no such person as Tony in real history, and he has hardly seen Agrippina the Younger many times after his reincarnation, so for this "set" mother, Tony only has the thought of "Oh, this is my mother."

But why would he deliberately remind himself of these things when he has nothing to do? !

Hearing Nero's question, Tony's eyes rolled and he quickly replied: "Ahem, sister, you know, my memory of the past...right, plus I haven't seen mother many times since I came back, so..."

"Oh...that's right." Nero nodded, agreeing with Tony's words.

"Sister... I have a suggestion." Tony took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Nero with a serious face and said, "Little Agrippina is still our mother after all. Although she assassinated the late emperor, she is our mother after all and the empress dowager of the Roman Empire. So, I suggest that she be buried as the empress dowager."

"Hmm..." Nero nodded slightly. She had no objection to this.

"Also... I think I should be the person in charge of investigating this incident. Of course, although I am the head coach, I still need to have some capable assistants."

"Well... okay, but brother, you must be careful." Nero did not object to Tony's organization's investigation into the assassination of Agrippina the Younger. She also wanted to know who would kill her mother.

As for Tony? He was also very curious about who did this. As for why he volunteered to be the head of this investigation team... Just kidding, at least he watched more than 400 episodes of Conan and a whole series of Sherlock Holmes in his previous life!

The death of Agrippina the Younger was a huge shock to the entire Roman Empire. Some people with a keen political sense had already sensed a very subtle hint from the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince was personally in charge of investigating the assassin.

Soon, Nero followed Tony's advice and transported Agrippina the Younger's body back while protecting the scene. After cremation, he buried it according to the specifications of the Queen Mother. At the same time, Nero also selected some elite detectives from the city of Rome, and accompanied Tony to a villa on the outskirts of Aosta.

PS: I am really sorry, there will be only one update today, and tomorrow... there may be only one update as well.

I had planned to go to the comic convention with a college classmate a few days ago, but he didn't inform me last night. I thought he wasn't going today, so I played PUBG with a girl until about 4 in the morning. Then he called me at noon and woke me up. I rushed to the comic convention and came back around 7 or 8 after lunch.

Then I saw a stupid person on WeChat who said that the Roman Empire did not exist and listed a series of data to support his statement.

All right, I've been engaged in a war of words for several hours and I'm really out of energy. I'm sorry, I'll try to make up for it later.

Chapter 377: It seems that there is no use for Conan to read it!

Several days have passed and many traces at the scene have been destroyed.

Although he is not an expert in detective work, based on the situation at the scene, there were obvious signs of a fight in the villa, especially in the room where Agrippina the Younger was assassinated.

"No one is alive... Are they assassins?" Tony stroked the sword marks on the wall and suddenly asked a soldier following behind him, "What weapon did the assassin use?"

"Your Highness, it's a standard Roman dagger." The soldier replied with his head down.

Roman standard dagger? Tony raised his eyebrows. Although this thing was made by the Roman Empire, it was widely used. Both the imperial army and the non-imperial army had a considerable number of users. Moreover, this thing was very easy to use. Therefore, if you want to understand the source of the opponent's weapon and find out the opponent's identity from this point... it is not very realistic.

After looking carefully around the whole room, Tony was somewhat disappointed to find that he seemed to have... watched so many episodes of Conan in vain!

There were a lot of traces at the scene, so many that you could tell at a glance that the assassin had not tried to hide them. There were all kinds of knife and sword marks almost everywhere, but these traces... I couldn't see anything.

After all, it's okay to brag, but if you really want Tony to lie there investigating and studying all kinds of traces... you'd better go to bed.

This method means that you cannot find any clues by yourself at the scene. For now, you can only rely on the experience you gained when playing escape room games.

Collect all potentially useful intelligence, and then select the important ones!

"The traces of the swords are those of standard daggers, and there are more than ten of them. I heard from my sister that there are at least a hundred guards here..." Tony muttered as he snapped his fingers, called a soldier and said to him, "Go ask the garrison soldiers here before. I want to know the garrison's attack method, and how many people were killed by the garrison soldiers. As for the rest, how did they die?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" the soldier responded and then retreated.

Soon, the soldier came back with the answer Tony wanted.
