Chapter 340: The Price of the Expedition
Anyway, after making a strange pact, Nero finally stopped.
Of course, at my urging, Nero turned twenty-four hour surveillance into occasional spot checks.
Otherwise, I don't think I can afford to do so. The thought of having someone watch you even sleep makes me feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart.
"So, after learning that the holy woman deceived the performer into making a contract, Yu's heart was extremely unhappy." Nero continued, "Just as the world's control over the Throne of the Immortal was weakened, Yu sneaked out of the realm and returned to Yu's Rome as soon as possible! ”
Probably because he had said too much, Nero took the golden cup from the table and took a large sip of water to moisten his throat.
There's nothing wrong with this action itself, but the point is that I just used the cup......
I don't care about indirect kissing or anything at all...... How thick are the nerve lines of His Majesty the Emperor!
"What's the matter, the player, looking straight at Yu like this, don't you have anything to say?"
Nero noticed my gaze and looked at me suspiciously, as he put the cup back on the table.
The water in the cup has been drunk by her without a drop left.
“…… It's okay, you go ahead. ”
I was helpless in my heart, and said with a reluctant smile.
Sure enough, it's better for me not to say it, or Nero might have to laugh at himself for a long time......
"Oh oh well, as Yu expected, although hundreds of years have passed since Yu's time, the Roman Empire still exists, but it is much weaker than it was back then." Nero nodded, "So, Yu will immediately begin to work on the revival of the Roman Empire in the name of the Emperor." ”
"That...... It must have been a dreamy process, I can't imagine the expressions of the people......"
Hearing Nero's description also found me a little amused.
The emperor, who originally only existed in history books and sculpture legends, suddenly appeared alive in front of the world, and this shock must be incomprehensible.
"Hmm...... There was indeed a sense of disobedience at first, after all, this was not a formal present world, so Yu did not get the relevant knowledge of this world. Nero pursed his lips, "But the reverence and love of the Roman people for Yu has not changed at all, and as soon as Yu appeared, they all surrounded him, and they were very enthusiastic." ”
"No, it's ......"
I was a little surprised.
"If you want to say that the only difference from Yu Yuan's era is probably that the title of the emperor has been changed to ...... It seems to be an idol, and people call Yu so and praise Yu for her beauty and elegance! Nero smiled lightly and said, "But this level of things is a piece of cake, Yu only corrected them slightly, and they will be called His Majesty Yu again!" And they seem even more excited than they are! ”
"Uh...... I think it's a misunderstanding......"
I couldn't stop crying or laughing.
It seems that Nero's appearance has unlocked strange interests among these Roman citizens.
After that, with the support of the whole country, Yu naturally took back his throne and began to revitalize Rome. As if he hadn't heard what I said, Nero continued to say with great interest, "With Yu efforts, the Roman Empire expanded further and accommodated more immigrants. When the musician came to Rome, it was just when it had all settled. ”
"I see, I see......"
After listening to Nero's explanation, I understood how the current situation had formed.
It's really this troublesome girl in front of her, who has rewritten half of the current world by herself.
Even the Frankish kingdom, which is closest to Britain, has been conquered by the Roman Empire, and even Nero gave me a generous gift.
"How to perform, Yu Ke has never officially met with Qing, so he sent a country to Qing." Nero grinned and said, "Now I realize that that nasty saintess is completely incomparable to Yu, and has no merit at all except for the previous bewitchment." So hurry up and break the contract with her and re-contract with Yu! ”
"No, Nero, you listen to me......," I sighed, "the Frankish kingdom, I've sent Artoria to garrison the outside. In these days, not a single Briton has ever set foot in the Frankish kingdom. ”
"Huh?! Why is that? Nero's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't Yu already leave a book, which means that it was a gift?" Who would dare to disagree with Yu's decision? ”
"As much as I thank you for your kindness, there is no point in occupying the territory of other countries." I shook my head and said, "Regardless of the casualties, there is no doubt that the people will be disturbed." When you say that a country will withdraw its troops, have you ever thought that if the British army were to arrive even one day late, the people would be brutalized by robbers or other invaders? ”
"That won't happen, because you're surrounded by territory under Yu control, and security is absolutely guaranteed." Nero said with some irritation, "But compared to this, Yu is more concerned about the words of the musician just now. Yu had learned that the performer had decided to lead an expedition, and almost the entire Camelot's army had been drained. Such a move to mobilize the people is not for conquest, so what is Qing for? ”
"I'm going to save Artoria."
Looking into Nero's eyes, I said word by word.
Seeing that Nero was quiet, I briefly recounted the agreement I had made with the inhibition force.
“…… Performer, Yu suggested that Qing should give up. ”
Hearing this, Nero was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
For the first time, there was no smile on her face, and her expression became calm.
"I know it's hard, almost impossible to do. People around me have advised me to give up, but if I don't try......"
"No, you don't understand at all. It's not a question of whether you can do it, it's that you can't do it at all! ”
Nero stood up suddenly, his expression becoming grave.
"What do you mean? What do you know? ”
I asked hurriedly.
Nero is the first Heroic Spirit I've ever seen who doesn't rely on any tricks, but completely relies on his own will. Maybe she'll know the secret.
"Yu knows that the performer's thinking is very simple, and it is also very beautiful, as long as the legend of the Knight King is rewritten, she can be understood by the world and avoid the persecution of the inhibiting force." Nero's blue eyes were fixed on my eyes, "But I haven't thought about it, this is equivalent to destroying the foundation that connects you." If the Knight King is not the current Knight King, how can she meet you? ”
"Historically, those who want to change history will inevitably be attacked by history." Nero let out a long sigh, "Regardless of whether Qing can do it or not, even if Qing does it, it is estimated that the best outcome is that the memory of the Knight King will be erased from Qing's mind." ”
