Chapter 9: Cú Chulainn's Invitation
Nero, the Roman emperor, was the most passionate about art.
According to legend, the Great Fire of Rome was set off by Nero in order to find an excuse to build a new golden theater for himself. Regardless of the authenticity, this rumor is found in Nero, and it is clear that the general understanding of the people about this emperor can be seen.
Legend has it that Nero was an emperor who was extremely keen on celebrations, and once added new events to the Olympics to participate, what an unreasonable player.
In fact, Emperor Nero did inaugurate a celebration called Nero's Day, which took place every five years, but alas, it was only held twice before Emperor Nero was overthrown.
The true body of this peculiarity is this.
The Great Nero Sacrifice, which was repeatedly mentioned by Nero.
As the name suggests, Nero's celebration is the Nero Sacrifice, with a large character to indicate the scale. The way of naming at the level of elementary school students, but unexpectedly has an unreasonable style like Emperor Nero.
It is a day that is celebrated with immersion in all of Rome. On this day, everyone must put down their work – except for the soldiers who are safe – and everyone must be immersed in the Great Nero sacrifice and enjoy the festivities.
When it comes to Rome, one has to mention Rome's famous products.
For example, the Roman Baths. For example, the Roman Colosseum and so on.
,...... as a reference for specificity Of course it can't be a bath, right? Nero took the Holy Grail and summoned the brave men of all ages, only to bathe in the same bath with the servants, which is too nonsensical.
In the days of the Roman Empire, slave gladiatorial fights were a very common pastime, and Nero, as emperor of the Roman Empire, certainly agreed with this.
In this great Nero festival, servants summoned from all eras were to compete in the four gladiatorial arenas of the Roman Empire, and the victors were invited to perform in the gladiatorial arenas of the Roman Empire.
The eventual victor can make his own demands to His Majesty Nero.
Ask for glory and wealth, yes. It's okay to ask for fame and fortune. The beauty of the country and the city can also be. Treasures of great value, no problem. In a word, as long as you don't say anything stupid like asking the emperor to abdicate, all the conditions can be met super super super super luxurious gifts.
How to put it, it is very much the personal style of Emperor Nero.
That's the status quo of this peculiarity.
Servants summoned from all ages, as gladiators of the Nero Sacrifice, participated in gladiatorial battles until they took the Holy Grail from Nero's hands.
Everyone will be called because of Nero's [wish] on the Holy Grail: to hold a world-class Great Nero Sacrifice.
Since he is the most powerful emperor of Rome, of course, the Great Nero Festival held by himself must also be of the highest standard. She has the confidence that everything in Rome is the best. However, if only the people of Rome participated, it would be too petty, sorry for the big word with the prefix. So, in a corner of his heart, Emperor Nero looked forward to the fact that visitors from other worlds who grew up in various times and environments would not only be the Nero sacrifice of the Romans, but also the Nero sacrifice of the people of the world, so that people from all corners of the world would feel Rome!
Whether it's Cú Chulainn, or Kojiro Sasaki, everyone was summoned for this reason.
How so...... It's been almost a month since he was summoned, and Cúchulainn is almost getting used to the warm atmosphere. Everywhere you go, people smile brightly, because you are a "brave", you can enjoy food at will and be a tourist.
Moreover, there are fights to fight. Fighting, good food, good rest, what a wonderful place for a warrior. In Norse mythology, the warriors under the command of the main god Odin live a life of fighting, eating, drinking, sleeping, and repeating themselves every day, which shows the lack of entertainment of ancient people and how easy it is for warriors to be satisfied.
Speaking of which, Kojiro Sasaki took the initiative to pour him a full bottle of wine, and Cú Chulainn drank it all in one gulp, with a happy expression on his face under the hood.
"This cup after the battle is really addictive. Oops, being able to fight and drink is really a blessing for a Celtic man - it's even better if there is a gun. ”
As Cú Chulainn said this, he let out a hearty laugh and slapped Kojiro on the shoulder beside him.
"Your guy's sword is really exciting, how about it, how about a fight with me tomorrow? I thought of two new ways to use lune. ”
Kojiro Sasaki, who was suddenly named, just smiled and didn't say anything, neither saying yes nor saying no, this elegant and quiet atmosphere always gave people a feeling of being out of place. These two people, one is like a fire, uncertain and hot, and the other is like clear water, unchanged but clear. It's amazing that these two people can become friends.
By the way, the woman in white clothes and black hair who was still drinking with her just now poured herself wine without speaking, and when Cú Chulainn explained, it seemed that she had drunk too much, and the whole person was slumped on the table and continued to pour herself.
Fujimaru Rika looked at him silently, and Yagi Yukisai suddenly had a bad premonition...... He quietly asked before Fujimaru Rika: "Should you be, want to ask me, what is Celtic?" ”
"Don't, don't underestimate me, I've done my homework anyway, yes, it's a Celtic mythology. I know. I'm just curious, Celtic customs ......"
Rika Fujimaru whispered in defense.
"Lie...... Then do you know Cúchulainn? ”
Cú Chulainn, the child of light in Ireland.
From a mythological point of view, this is the son of the great god Luge, a hero of the half-man and half-god. In terms of circulation, he is one of the most famous heroes of Irish mythology.
However, it seems that for Rika Fujimaru in Japan, the name is not so thunderous......
"That...... phase, equivalent to Japan's ...... Well...... Haruaki Abe? ”
Rika Fujimaru speculated, where did she know what Cú Chulainn did? Looking at his dress as a magician in an RPG, he said that a Japanese onmyoji, everyone plays magic, almost the same.
"Remnants. It is equivalent to the Japanese Gen Yoshitsune. At least a general. ”
"Is it the Gen Yoshijing with a normal attack with secondary damage and a full-screen jumping skill?"
"Wait, that guy isn't a hidden character, how did you get it...... Groove ...... Goldfinger forgot to turn it off......"
Yagi Yukisai's face suddenly changed, and the topic of the two Japanese high school students who were the age of just now had inevitably shifted to the aspect of the game.
Fujimaru Rika is talking about the game characters in the PSP that Yagi Yukisai gave her, because there are quite a lot of characters in various myths in it, so Yagi Yukisai gave her to play, entertaining and educational. I learned the history of heroes while playing. As a result, I forgot that I could get the golden finger of the hidden character by opening a week......
Dilumudo smiled wryly and interjected into the subject, explaining the Irish and Celtic myths to the two of them, who were suddenly untense, and Leonida was interested in the gladiator's part.
"That is to say—as a contestant, you just need to win this Nero sacrifice, right?"
Leonida's voice was full of excitement and confidence.
The Spartans had always been known for their sturdy flesh and skilled fighting skills, and Leonidas was most interested in the parts related to combat.
Siegfried also nodded silently.
Everyone is a slave, a warrior, and to be honest, everyone still prefers to solve problems with fists and swords rather than thinking.
After listening to everyone's words, Cú Chulainn laughed heartily again.
"Well, that's true from [the point of view]. However, what is actually going on, who knows~ Everyone wait for me, I'll go say hello to my old friend~~"
Cú Chulainn laughed, and drew some symbol with his finger in the air, visible to the naked eye, on which a red fire gushed out, condensed into a fireball, and hit the man in armor.
