My XX deal with Sister Nero

Well, actually this is not accurate at all. If you don’t believe it, you can take out the world map and see how far it is from Ctesiphon to the Persian Gulf.

This is basically equivalent to half of Iraq plus one Kuwait. If you want to find a few people in such a large place, the difficulty... is worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.

After crossing Ctesiphon, Nero looked at the sun in the sky, roughly determined the time, touched her stomach, and then... decided to find a place to eat something first.

After circling in the sky for a few times, Nero suddenly noticed that there was a small town on the earth that seemed a little...out of place with the surrounding environment?

Tiamat has begun to give birth now, and her cubs are invading everywhere, so Nero can see magical beasts almost everywhere on the earth. However, this town is different. For some reason, this town... is like a vacuum zone for magical beasts. There is not even a single magical beast around.

Moreover, looking at the streets of this small town, it seems that there are still people walking around.

This... Out of curiosity and because he was hungry, Nero finally decided to stop in this small town for a while and have a meal before talking.

Then…she saw a familiar little figure in the inn and restaurant in this small town.

"Brother!" Looking at the figure that he could recognize even if he turned into ashes, Nero was happy at first, and then a nameless anger suddenly ignited.

"Sister...sister..." Tony turned around stiffly and watched the expression on his sister's face change from surprise to anger in an instant. He subconsciously covered his butt.

It’s over, it’s over. How did this elder sister find me?

To be honest, Tony himself knew that his sister was very good to him. As a prince, he was second only to the emperor. It could be said that as long as Tony mentioned anything that existed in this world, his sister, Nero, the fifth head of the Roman Empire, would try her best to get it for her brother.

This is a kind of love, a distorted doting from a sister to her brother.

But... there is one thing that Nero cannot tolerate.

That was his own brother, who was hurt a little bit.

To Nero, Tony is the kind of person who he is afraid of dropping if he holds him in his hands, and afraid of melting if he holds him in his mouth. It can be said that his younger brother is his most beloved treasure at present. Nero will not allow anyone to hurt his treasure!

Not even Tony himself!

Therefore, our little prince could make waves in the Roman Empire. According to the relevant laws of the Roman Empire, after Decianus was deposed as the governor of Britain, the Senate should have decided to appoint a new governor of Britain instead of Tony. However, after Nero learned that his brother wanted to serve as the governor of Britain, he not only bypassed the Senate to appoint his brother to the position of governor of Britain, but also handed over almost all of his team to his brother to assist him in governing Britain.

However, as long as Tony did anything that could threaten his life, then... Nero would personally spank his brother hard.

"Brother...sister, I finally found you~" Tony curled his lips and was about to cry when he heard his sister's voice.

It’s over. With this voice, these words, I… I’m afraid I’m going to be hung up and beaten.

"Hmph, you know how to cry, which means you still have some self-awareness and know that you made a mistake. Now we are outside and I am too lazy to beat you. When this matter is dealt with and we go home, just wait and see how I beat you!" Nero took a deep breath, gradually calmed down his emotions, and said to Tony.

"Huh~" Tony breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Nero said.

It’s okay, it’s okay. As long as I don’t get beaten now, everything will be fine.

What? You said that our little prince will be beaten sooner or later after returning? What are you thinking? Just act cute on the way and try to please your sister. In the end, most of the time, the big things will be reduced to small things, and you won't be beaten~

PS: I went to the comic convention today, and saw Xiangcai. Tsk, to be honest, after visiting the Chongqing Western Comic Convention for so many years, this year's convention was really disappointing. Originally, the biggest highlight of this year's Western Comic Convention was Xiangcai's arrival. According to the organizer's publicity, Xiangcai had about half an hour of activities, including interacting with the audience and dubbing and singing for Cells at Work! Then, after introducing herself and dubbing a line for Cells at Work!, she just asked a few audience members to come on stage to play interactive games, and the organizer said that Xiangcai had other activities to attend, so this would end here. Well, the whole process was less than 20 minutes, and after that, the signing session was also cancelled. Tsk, disappointing.

Chapter 540: Nero's Thoughts

【-

Tony heaved a sigh of relief, then revealed a smile of relief, and stretched out his hands to Nero: "Sister, hug me~"

"You cunning little guy..." Seeing his younger brother stretching out his hands for a hug, Nero put his hand to his forehead and shook his head with a bitter smile. Tony knew that he could act cute in front of his elder sister during this time to make her forget the fact that he was going to beat her brother, but... Nero also knew it!

She is not a fool, how could she not know what her brother is thinking?

But... who made my brother so cute~

"Tell me, when do you plan to go back?" Nero asked, touching Tony's little head as he followed Tony to the backyard of the hotel.

"I...don't plan to go back for the time being." Tony shook his head and replied to Nero.

"You don't plan to go back?" Hearing his brother's words, Nero subconsciously raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you want to go back? You should also know that now that Tiamat has awakened, it has produced a lot of monsters. This place... is very dangerous now."

"Of course I know it's dangerous, sister." Tony shrugged lightly and said, "There are not only monsters here, but also wild beasts driven out by the monsters. If I'm not mistaken, the hunters outside the city of Taixifeng should have made a small fortune at this moment, right?"

Tony's guess was correct. Although their combat power was not as good as that of Servants, Warcraft were still Warcraft after all. Whether it was a wyvern or a chimera, the combat power of these Warcraft was far beyond that of ordinary people, and they were not comparable to wild beasts. And wild beasts... were not something that one person could deal with.

However, those ferocious large carnivorous beasts are definitely no match for the monsters. Under the impact of the monster wave, these beasts can only flee and try to run to places where there are no monsters. And their former rations, those practical beasts... naturally run in the front.

So at this moment, the first wave of attack that Ctesiphon faced came from these herbivorous beasts.

Ahem, the topic has gone too far.

"Whether the hunters near the city of Taisifeng have made a fortune or not is none of our business." Seeing that Tony was about to change the subject, Nero very cleverly brought the subject back and put his hand on his brother's shoulder and said seriously, "Brother, do you really want to deal with Tiamat? Yes, you have heroes and demigods around you now, but you have to know that Tiamat died under the siege of the Mesopotamian gods. In terms of combat effectiveness, can the heroes and demigods around you compare with the Mesopotamian gods?"

"...No." Tony shook his head.

Yes, Hercules was strong, so strong that he could single-handedly cut through the Parthian army, but could his fighting power be compared with that of the gods? No, no matter how strong he was, he could not beat Zeus in his prime, nor could he beat Marduk.

Not to mention Tiamat, the creator goddess in Mesopotamian mythology.

"So, brother, be obedient and go home with your sister. Let the Parthians deal with Tiamat." Nero took Tony's hand and said in a low voice.

"But sister, will Tiamat... really be satisfied with swallowing up the Parthian Empire? Or, is it... its opponent really the Parthian Empire?" Tony frowned, raised his head slightly and stared at his sister, and asked slowly.

"Ok?"

"Sister, I have been in Ctesiphon for such a long time that I have gathered a lot of information. For example, before I left, I heard from the people in the city that the official Parthian Empire seemed to have briefly stated that there was a monster in the depths of the sea. This monster was invited by Vologases I to destroy the Roman Navy... My sister, have you found anything?"

Nero is not stupid. As the head of the empire, how could she be a fool? After pondering Tony's words for a while, Nero roughly guessed the problem.

Tiamat was so huge that the Parthian Empire had no way to conceal her. In addition, she appeared in the Persian Gulf and destroyed a Roman warship as soon as she appeared. It was so high-profile. How could the Parthian Empire hide Tiamat?

Of course, the Parthians seemed to have started and did not choose to hide Tiamat. From the very beginning, Isfahan announced very loudly that the King of Kings of the Parthian Empire, Vologases I, summoned a monster with the help of gods to guard the Persian Gulf. Therefore, almost half of the residents of the Parthian Empire knew that now there was a huge monster in the Persian Gulf helping the Parthian Empire to fight against the Roman Navy.

After all, this world is not full of FGO players. Apart from a few people like Tony and Rosa, perhaps only the Mesopotamian gods can recognize that the behemoth standing in the Persian Gulf should be the legendary Tiamat!

So, now the question is, Tiamat was summoned by Vologases I. Although the Parthian people have not yet discovered that the monster is Tiamat, and although the Parthian people have not yet discovered that this monster tide was actually caused by their own government to some extent, but... as the ruler of the Parthian Empire, did Vologases I summon Tiamat to let her use the monster tide to kill his own citizens and soldiers?

The answer is obviously no!

The Parthian Empire is now at war with the Roman Empire, so everything that Vologases I, the king of kings of the Parthian Empire, does, even if it is not to win the war, at least he wants to ensure the absolute rule of the Artassid family over the Parthian Empire!

There is no doubt that the tide of monsters that the Parthian Empire is facing at this moment, as well as Tiamat... all of these, their ultimate goal, of course, is the Roman Empire!

Seeing Nero standing in front of him in deep thought, Tony continued, "Sister, think about it. This time when the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire were at war, who was the commander of my Roman legion? It was me, right? There is an old saying in the East, "Shoot the horse first when shooting a man, and capture the king first when capturing a thief." It means that if you want to disrupt my army's deployment, the easiest way is to capture me as the commander, not to mention that I am a prince. So...if I really return to the Roman Empire, Vologases I will definitely lead the war to the Roman Empire without hesitation, sister."

"This..." Although she loved her younger brother very much, Nero, as the head of the Roman Empire, was also more or less caring for the people under her command. This could be seen from the decrees and proposals she issued in the early days of her reign... and even before she took office, when she held general public office. If possible, she naturally did not want her younger brother to suffer any harm, nor did she want the citizens of the Roman Empire to suffer any harm.

Chapter 541: Reinforcements from the East

"...These two guys, are they crazy?" Just as Nero and Tony met up, on the other side, in a villa in the modern world.

A young man wearing black-framed glasses and a white shirt threw the paper in his hand fiercely onto the table, rubbed his forehead in annoyance and muttered to himself: "Why did the boss let this guy go to fight Tiamat? Also, why didn't Shen Xiaofan take this kid with him? Does this kid... have the ability to fight Tiamat now?"

The young man took a deep breath, rubbed his face vigorously, stood up, walked to the bookcase next to him, took out a folder from it, flipped through it carefully, and then threw the folder on the table next to him.

“This kid… gained the power of a Heroic Spirit, but due to various reasons his power is not complete, so he… only has a combat power similar to that of a Servant… But such combat power is not enough in front of Tiamat…” The young man walked back and forth in the study, and finally gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, pushed open the study door, and left the villa.

……

"You said... let me help you save people?" In the back garden of the villa, in front of the young man, a young man dressed as an ancient Indian monk opened his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

Listening to the monk's unhurried words, the young man frowned slightly and said, "Yes, although I don't know why the boss arranged for him to challenge Tiamat, but... my... friend, with his strength, if he challenges Tiamat, he may just die in vain."

The young man dressed as an Indian monk did not say anything, but just looked calmly at the young man wearing black-framed glasses standing in front of him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Feeling a little puzzled by the look of the young man dressed as an Indian monk, the young man wearing black-framed glasses asked angrily.

"Well, karma goes round and round. I'll help you this time." The monk-like young man sighed and said with a compassionate look, "According to what you said, your friend should not be in this world, right?"

"Yes, he is in the Roman Empire in another world." The young man wearing black-framed glasses nodded.

"The Roman Empire? In that case, it would be difficult for me to personally deal with this matter. But since I have promised to help you, I will go and make the arrangements." The young man dressed as a monk spoke softly to the young man wearing black-framed glasses with a compassionate look on his face.

"Arrange?" The young man with black-framed glasses scratched his head in surprise: "You... still have subordinates in that world?"

……

This monk-like being certainly wouldn't have his own subordinates in the other world, but... it's not just the restraining force that can travel through time and space to summon servants from the future, some beings that have reached the "end" can also do this.

Half a day later, in the world Tony was in, in the far east, on the outskirts of Chang'an, the Han Empire.

As we all know, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, established Chang'an as the capital. From that time on, Chang'an became the political center of the Han Empire. However, after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, disputes broke out in the Central Plains. After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu unified the country, this most prosperous ancient city in the East, this once political center of the East, this Chang'an had already been devastated by war.

Considering the huge cost of renovating Chang'an City, Liu Xiu finally decided to make Luoyang the capital. However, Chang'an was the former capital of the Western Han Dynasty and had the tombs of various emperors of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Xiu decided to call Luoyang the Eastern Capital, and Chang'an the Western Capital, which was second only to Luoyang in status.

"Is this the Chang'an City in the early Eastern Han Dynasty?" Standing in front of the Anmen Gate on the south side of Chang'an City, a woman with a good figure looked at the gate of Chang'an City in front of her and said excitedly.

"I don't really understand." Looking at the tall city wall in front of them, another woman with twin ponytails next to the woman slowly shook her head.

"Ah... yes, when the third princess was still in the human world, this land was ruled by the Shang Dynasty. Later, she was deified and ascended to heaven. It is understandable that the third princess doesn't know much about the mortal world." The woman with a good figure and dressed as a monk next to the girl with twin ponytails nodded.

That’s right, this woman called the Third Princess is naturally the third daughter of Li Jing, the former general of Chentangguan in the Shang Dynasty. She is also the Marshal of the Central Altar and the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, Li Nezha, in current Chinese mythology and legends.

The young man dressed as an Indian monk kept his word. Since he promised to send someone to help Tony, he would really send someone to help him, such as sending a certain god, and by the way, sending a servant from the future as his messenger to help Tony.

"Well, although business is important, the person we want to help seems to be quite far away from here? And there's a language barrier... How can we find that person..." The woman wearing a bamboo hat and Buddhist attire frowned, and her small feet kicked the stones on the ground intentionally or unintentionally.

"This is very simple." Nezha stretched out his hands and passed them under the armpits of the female monk. After firmly grasping her shoulders with his arms, a pair of wind-fire wheels suddenly appeared under her feet. She flew into the air in a grand manner and flew towards the distance.

"God...God!" The civilians passing by Nezha had never seen someone take off on the spot. At that moment, these civilians couldn't help but put down the things in their hands, kneeled on the ground, and kowtowed in the direction Nezha left.

……

Tony didn't know what happened in Chang'an City.

After a long time of effort, Tony finally persuaded Nero to agree to let him challenge Tiamat. However, in return, in order to ensure his brother's safety, Nero also made three rules with Tony. The most important of them was to let Tony wait here for the arrival of reinforcements from the Greek gods.

Since his elder sister has agreed to his plan to challenge Tiamat, Tony is no longer in a hurry to go to the Persian Gulf, or rather... he has never been in a hurry from the beginning.

He knew his own strengths and weaknesses. If he wanted to defeat Tiamat, it would be far from enough to rely solely on the few demigods and heroes in his hands.

So he had to wait, wait for the arrival of reinforcements, wait until he had enough combat power, then he... dared to fight against Tiamat.

……

The Mesopotamian gods finally determined the strategic plan, which was to unite with other gods to resist Tiamat. To this end, Marduk specially sent several messengers to request reinforcements. At the same time, he once again asked Ishtar to go down to the world to find the prince of the Roman Empire.

Chapter 542: Kirara Yoshikage gave you a thumbs up

According to Marduk's judgment, this Roman prince, who was now in Mesopotamia, must be won over.

Tony is an imperial prince on earth. For the gods who live forever, the lifespan of an empire is too short, and the lifespan of an ordinary human being... is even shorter.

For humans, unless they are those with divine blood, in the eyes of the gods, they are no different from animals.

Aren’t pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, etc. raised to be eaten?

Would you treat pigs, dogs, cows and sheep as your friends?

The reason why Marduk wanted to win over the Roman prince was that he had the support of the Roman pantheon and the Greek pantheon. It would be more accurate to say that Marduk wanted to win over these two major pantheons to deal with Tiamat together rather than to win over the Roman prince.

Ishtar didn't think much of Marduk's idea. After all...if she could return to the human world again, she would really like to confirm who the woman next to Gilgamesh is.

……

After communicating with his sister, Tony ordered Mary to send a letter to Ctesiphon, announcing his coordinates to the Roman Empire intelligence personnel in Ctesiphon, so that the two Greek demigods would not be unable to find Tony after arriving in Ctesiphon.

After waiting in this small town for about two days, the belated Greek reinforcements finally arrived in the city of Thesifon.

"So, the young prince has already gone to the front line?" In a house in Taixifeng City, a woman with long white hair frowned at the man kneeling in front of her, and tapped her chin with her hand.

"Yes... According to the information sent back by His Highness, they should be in this town now." As the man spoke, he took out a map from his arms and spread it on the ground, pointing to a point marked on the map.

"This town?" Behind the white-haired woman, a girl with a black ponytail reached out and picked up the map from the ground and handed it to the white-haired woman.

"It doesn't look too far." After taking the map from the girl and taking a look at it, the white-haired woman giggled and said to the two women following behind her: "Let's go and see what this little prince of the Roman Empire looks like~"

……

After the three women left, the young man from the Roman Empire Intelligence Agency finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and murmured, "I didn't expect... Your Highness would be so capable that he could ask for the help of two demigods and a god. This... Your Highness is really amazing."

……

"Two demigods and a god? This... is quite interesting!" Tony scratched his head and handed the information from Ctesiphon to his sister. "According to Atalanta, the Greek gods should have only sent two demigods, Hippolyta and Penthesilea, to help. How come there is also a god? And... who is this god?"

"Well, anyway, brother, having a god to help you means your chances of winning are much greater, isn't it?" Nero patted Tony's shoulder gently, smiled at him, pinched Tony's little face and said, "Speaking of which, brother, I noticed that you look a little tired these past two days. Did your sister squeeze you when she slept at night?"

...You are bringing up something that is not related to the topic!

When Tony heard Nero's topic, he almost overturned the table.

Crowded? Of course this little place is crowded!

You know, Tony and Nero are now in a small town, and even if there is a small hotel in this town, the conditions in all aspects of this hotel will not be very good. For example, this bed is just an ordinary single bed. If two people have to sleep on one bed... it is indeed a bit crowded.
