Turn the perspective back to [Rome Vienna] where Animusfia and Nero are.
"What!?"
Both Matthew and Nero raised incomprehensible questions.
"As I expected, your appearance this time is not just a simple response to the call of the [Master]. You who ordered not to expand the battle and actually showed up here have already deviated from it. The other party is determined to destroy human reason, Romulus, the founder of Rome."
"Hmm, Nero really got a reliable [co-ruler]. That's right, Rome (me) had no intention of helping the Demon God Pillars to destroy human nature from the very beginning when they were summoned. As for the so-called imperial co-ruler, The Lord's contract has no effect on Rome (me) from the beginning, it is just a convenient ship that can reach this era."
"Wait... If you say so, Lord Divine Ancestor, you actually don't want to destroy Rome, right?"
"No."
The words from Romulus shattered Nero's last illusion.
"Except for my son and your uncle Caligula, Caesar and Octavian, including Rome (me), all sincerely want to destroy this Rome."
"Yu, can you know the reason?"
"You already know the wishes of Caesar and Octavian, my son Nero. And you should also know the reasons for Rome (me), right?" After the Wall of Sin, will you choose to build Rome (prosperity) within it?”
Facing Romulus' question, Nero thought for a long time, and then shook his head resolutely.
It is true that she has smeared too much blood on that barrier, but at least now, Nero has something important that he absolutely does not want to bury under that barrier.
Looking at Nero's answer, Romulus nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"Rome's sins were shattered, and I heard this answer from your mouth——The purpose of Rome (I)'s appearance this time has been achieved. But I didn't expect that Rome's sins would actually Defeated by beings other than Rome... Is it really the arrogance caused by this posture?... It is Rome (my) Rome that is too narrow-minded. Rome is the world That’s right!”
After successfully explaining to himself that Boudica was Rome, Romulus smiled with satisfaction, and then gently nodded his head up and down.
"Well, you mentioned [Master], right? Have you ever heard of a person named [Leif Lenore]? Is he your Master?"
After confirming that Romulus was indeed no longer hostile, Matthew interrupted anxiously and asked.
To this day, Matthew still doesn't know why Leif, who used to be as gentle as a doctor, suddenly did such a bad thing.
No matter how much betrayal Matthew added to Leif's memories, she always remembered the sincerity in Leif's eyes when he first handed her the book "Sherlock Holmes".
"Leif Lenore... It seems that the name of the magician who summoned Rome (me) is indeed this... The root cause of the emergence of this singularity, Rome (you) wants to recover The Holy Grail is also in his hand."
"In this case, that person is now in the singularity of Rome, right?"
Now even Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't watch calmly.
"Leif Lenore is indeed in this singularity - but Rome (you) just called him [person]."
"Eh?"
Matthew had some difficulty understanding what Romulus was saying.
"Listen up, travelers from Chaldea, the enemies you face are by no means ordinary humans. The existence named Leif Lenore is essentially a familiar belonging to King Solomon. Seventy-two One of the Demonic Pillars."
"...Professor Leif is...the Demon God Pillar?!"
Matthew was so surprised by this shocking fact that he couldn't express it for a moment.
"Wait a minute, if that guy Leif is the Demon God Pillar, then isn't the person behind the destruction of humanity this time the legendary King Solomon?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had gained knowledge of mythology with Animusfia, was keenly aware of the relationship.
Romulus's answer was intriguing silence.
"No......"
After a long silence, Romulus suddenly changed his expression, and then said to everyone in Chaldea, including Animusfia:
"Sorry, Chaldean travelers, Leif died just now, and the contract between Rome (me) and him has also come to this point."
After the words fell, Romulus's spirit body began to become illusory.
"Huh? Already dead...?"
Matthew's expression dropped.
After all, Professor Leif was a [friend] who had been with her for a long time like Dr. Roman. Although she was angry at his betrayal, Matthew couldn't accept it easily just knowing the news of his death.
This meant that she would never be able to meet the professor who always walked around Chaldea wearing a green top hat.
And the cause of Leif's death is equally intriguing.
Who killed Leif who had the Holy Grail at this time?
The singularity where the battle situation was gradually becoming clear was once again plunged into mist.
"No matter what--------"
The call from Romulus brought Mashu and everyone back from their thoughts.
"Rome (I) still want to congratulate Rome (you). This Rome Vienna has been completely captured by Rome (you)!"
Listening to Romulus' summary, Animusfia and Nero glanced at each other and smiled at each other.
"In this case, Rome (I) has no reason or necessity to continue to exist. I hope————"
Romulus' words suddenly stopped.
That's not because the master died due to exhaustion of magic power and was forced to return to the "seat" and disappear.
"How dare you, how dare you..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Nero could hardly believe his eyes.
"Damn it, when exactly was it?"
Artoria Alter was also blaming herself for not discovering it in time.
What appeared in front of everyone were the two sharp blades that penetrated from the back of Romulus's head and pierced through his eyes——and the man who stood behind Romulus at some point, holding a sharp dagger. , Mikhail VIII, who has always been ignored by everyone.
"I finally waited until this moment and was finally [captured], so I won't be polite! Let's rebuild here - the city that the world longs for!"
Michael VIII, who absorbed Romulus' spiritual energy into his spiritual body, shouted loudly, and majestic city walls slowly rose from under his feet.
It is no exaggeration to call it the most complex and sophisticated city defense system in the world, and it is no exaggeration to call it the strongest fortress in the world.
That was the brightest pearl of the Byzantine Empire, the city that the world longed for.
【Constantinople】
The spider weaving its web in the palace finally pulled his giant web of conspiracy out of the darkness.
But the owl that should be giving orders in Afrasiab has long since left.
