Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"After all, they are here for you. If you have something to say, just say it directly. If you feel you have nothing to say, just let me say it. Understand?"

"Oh~~ I understand. Do you think this job is not difficult?"

"Of course, you are here to make a cameo. If you rely on this salary to support your family, you will know how difficult it is."

After saying that, he looked at the sky: "It's almost there, they will probably arrive soon."

"Eh? According to the time, shouldn't I be here long ago?"

"They temporarily said they were really scared and wanted to open the 'door' directly over the airport." He glanced down at his watch and started counting down:

“5、4、3、2、1——到了。”

When the countdown ended, a portal surrounded by flames appeared over the airport. The first thing that rushed out was a dazzling white ball of light. The steel wings stretched out inside the ball of light pulled out white vortex ropes. The Ninghe then protruded from the portal and descended steadily under the guidance of the light ball. After the Ninghe entered the correct descent route, the "light ball" left the channel, flapped its wings and slowed down, and stopped in front of the queue with huge airflow.

In the air flow, the Jin Yiwei in golden armor did not move, and Shangluo did not move either. He just watched the light ball stop a few steps away from him. The majestic figure several meters high occupied Shangluo's entire field of vision. His wings surrounded the ball of light, and the dazzling corona of light almost engulfed him. There was no heat or cold at all——

That ball of light does not seem to interact with the natural laws of this world, and it shines there naturally. But as the light gradually faded, white frost gradually condensed on the edges of the wings, until the light completely faded, and the spherical shell formed by white frost covered the entire wing.

Then there was an invisible wave. The steel feathers began to vibrate at a high frequency, making the sound of wind chimes. The frost shell attached to the wings was shaken away, and the wings unfolded, revealing the true appearance under the wings - a stainless steel angel standing among them, with a white halo surrounding its head, slowly like a gear. Rotate.

The angel looked around, and his eyes finally stopped on Shangluo in front of him.

He knelt down on one knee: "Under the legacy of Saint Constantine of Illyria, the Protector of Babylon and the Chaldean Romans, the Archangel Nisrok, salutes the glorious, excellent, undefeated Lord of Rome. .May your reign be long-lasting and may the eyes of the world always be bright.”

"Ah good afternoon?"

"." The angel raised his head slightly, "Good afternoon, my majesty."

"Ah, can you stand up first?"

The angel stood up, two stories tall.

"You'd better squat down, you can't see your face."

"Yes, so I squatted down at the beginning." Nislock returned to a half-kneeling position. At the same time, the Ninghe over there also landed safely on the runway.

"They will be honored that you came here to greet the consuls of the Senate. They are really frightened."

"Let's not talk about them, who are you?"

"I am the legacy of Saint Constantine of Illyria."

"No, no, I know your name is Nislock." Shangluo interrupted him, "I want to ask you who you are."

You're asking what He is, aren't you? He is a Clockwork Angel, a mechanical demigod powered by a Vulcan core. This mechanical heart gives the Angel form, allowing it to wield its sword and slay Rome's enemies.

"Ah, Your Excellency Apollonia of Delphi, I also wish you good afternoon."

【good afternoon. ] Apollonia replied, and then said to Shangluo, [He is the strongest angel so far, although he is only the powerful angel of the lower-level angels. 】

"Is there anything stronger?"

[Before I leave, the "Angel Project" is in progress. If it can be completed, the capable angel is the first type of intermediate angel that can descend. Although the arrival of superior angels and even Archangel Gabriel himself in Hagia Sophia is still a distant goal, the existence of intermediate angels can already A qualitative change has occurred. 】

"Will it be stronger?"

【It will be more human. Angel Quan is too big, and Nislok's body is too big. As an angel of authority, his mission is to command the angel army. But angels can do much more. 】

"Everything is for the heaven on earth. Everything is for the eyes of the world. Only when Cathay and Rome stare at this world can this world have meaning." Nislok said solemnly.

"By the way, who gave you the order?" Shangluo asked him.

"It is Her Majesty Queen Victoria of the Eternal City. She and the Senate hope that I can bring the world as safely as possible, so I conducted a submersible voyage and used phlogiston to light lights to guide the passenger planes in Cathay."

【This is very important. ] Apollonia added, [The same was true for the previous submarines. When conducting phlogiston submersible, you must use the Vulcan core to stabilize your own state - one is enough, because after the guidance is turned on, other units can use the submersible initiator as a reference to correct their own time status and relative status. Location. Angels of Power are the most mobile of these units with guidance capabilities. 】

"Then, my duty for today is over." Nislok raised his head, "My mission is to send them here. Tomorrow, I will send His Majesty Victoria here again."

"Herself? Has your technology made a breakthrough?"

"Yes, herself. Of course, it is impossible for technology to break through in such a short period of time, but she will stay for a while until the connection is established, and then she can save her progress here. The last time her progress was saved in her in the bedroom, so it seems that there is some confusion about the changes in the environment."

[Oh, it means that when she comes here, she still has to deal with the 'desert of the real world' by remaking her progress every day. But if you save the progress at your home, she will at least know what she is here to do, and then she can save it day by day and synchronize it when she gets home. 】

"That's it." Nislok lowered his head and saluted again, "Then, if you have no other instructions, I will go back to meet with Her Majesty Victoria."

After getting Shangluo's permission, Nislok wrapped himself in wings again, ignited the light of the same quality as the Alexandria Lighthouse, flapped his wings and flew back along the original track, closing the door.

At this time, the Ninghe also slid to the position in front of it - several Roman consuls who came were on it. Originally, there was no need for so many honor guards to greet them, just a few random people would be enough. But this time the security situation was very serious, so the guards from two teams came. Zhu Xianfen also watched informally from behind.

After it came to a stop, the gangway was moved up and the hatch was opened - however, no Archon came out from inside. The one who showed his head was Captain Lin.

He saw Lu Huaiyang and Shangluo below and waved for them to come up.

The two people wearing headphones walked from the gangway to the Ninghe's cabin door.

"Totally paralyzed." Captain Lin pointed to the back, "This phlogiston submersible is quite powerful. In addition, our plane is already shaking very much, so it's doubled. Do you think you should call an ambulance?"

"No need!" A pale face appeared in the aisle, "We. We can walk by ourselves. We.yue~~~~"

Captain Lin covered his forehead: "Always ask the ground crew to clean up my plane first. I didn't even dare to look inside. I told you that you mortals are not suitable to fly on the Ninghe. You will really be knocked to death." .”

"It is better to die than to be shot to death with a gun. Only in this way is the safest, only in this way is it safe~~~~~"

Chapter 692 The Untouchable

"Hey, Shangluo, what happened on the plane? Why didn't you get off for a long time?" Zhu Xianfen's voice came from the earphones. Zhu Xianfen called Shangluo directly from point to point.

"It's fine now." Shangluo took the time to go out and give a thumbs up to Zhu Xianen and others outside. Pressing the microphone next to his ear, he said to Zhu Xianxen: "I see Captain Lin took out a small meatball? I gave them each one to eat, and they are all fine now."

"That's the Fortune Pill, a reduced version made from a small mold. Zheng Shijie asked me for the motion sickness pill that day. It was too much of a loss to give him the whole portion, so I gave him a small portion. They should be fine after taking it - by the way, Should they have eaten before taking off? Why wait until they vomited before eating? Wait, I will bring the captain in."

There was a rustling sound in my ears:

"Ah, Your Majesty, it's me." Captain Lin's voice came into the earphones, "Why didn't you give them something to eat before takeoff? I gave it to them. But they didn't dare to eat. They didn't even dare to drink water. While saying thank you , while shaking their heads violently. Oh, by the way, they also asked me to close the sunshades - I thought this was not a commercial airliner, and the Ninghe had no sunshades at all. But they kept saying they were afraid, afraid of the shadow outside the window. I had no choice but to cover the windows with paper."

"Yeah, that's understandable. Once you've adjusted, let's take them out."

"Understood. Shangluo and I will bring them out together."

The signal was hung up, and the two of them took a look inside - the person who just went in to distribute the medicine was Lu Huaiyang. He walked sideways in the narrow aisle, looking to see if any passengers were still slumped.

"Lu Lu Qianhu, help me." A weak hand stretched out from the side. Lu Huaiyang glanced at it and said, "Isn't this Captain Titus? Why didn't you take the pill?"

"I have to learn to adapt to how I will fight in the future if I can't withstand this level of pressure. Give me a hand."

Lu Huaiyang reached out and pulled him to sit up straight.

"Thank you. Let's go. I have to go down first. I'll go down first to play the French horn. This is a guard of honor."

"I think you're about to die! You're still playing the French horn. Take an airsickness pill quickly!"

"Who is going to die?" Captain Lin at the door poked his head into the cabin, "If you want to die, go out and die! Don't die on the company's plane!"

"." Titus hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then please give me one."

When he was dying of illness, he sat up in shock. Less than a second after eating, Titus stood up.

"Huh, it feels like a mummy suddenly started breathing." As he said that, he saw the door:

"Shangluo. Oh no, His Majesty the King of Rome, are you here too?" He was not used to changing his words yet. Although he was the one who moved Shangluo over last time as a reinforcement and told Shangluo the relevant matters, he himself did not expect that the Golden Branch of the Forest King could trigger so many chain reactions.

But for now, this is at least not a bad thing. At least on the eve of Rome's doomsday, Cathay can be sheltered from the limelight. Although the meat didn't rot in the home pot, at least everyone ate it after it was brought to the table.

"We have something very important here this time, very important." He looked at Shangluo.

"Um, what's the matter?"

"I can't say it, because it's not my responsibility to say it. According to the procedures of the Senate, I am cooperating with a consul to convey the news this time as a censor. Only he can say it, I can't say it - and he can't say it either. I have the right to tell you this news alone, and I can only say it under my watch."

[Old rules. This is a Libra oath, and the restriction can only be lifted when two people are present at the same time. Helios wrote these contracts in the sky and in the night sky. The price of breaking the oath was very terrible. Including but not limited to execution. 】

"Wait. Is this even scarier?"

The most severe punishment is to have their name erased from stone, just as the Egyptians did to the pharaohs. Every mention of them will be replaced by a blank. They will become a complete blank, unremembered, and all traces of their existence will be completely erased—this is the most severe, true death. Other deaths can be reversed one day, but once forgotten by everyone, they will be lost in the endless abyss. We call them "untouchables."

"But there are still people who can remember them, right? After all, 'the need to be forgotten' itself is also something that needs to be remembered."

[Congratulations on discovering the blind spot, so a level 4 secret keeper is responsible for remembering the list of untouchables. 】

"So," he asked Titus, "if you leak the secret, will you be classified as an 'untouchable'?"

Titus did not expect Shangluo to mention this title. But when you think about the other party’s identity, there’s nothing surprising:

"That's right. They will be stripped of everything, become untouchable, and be completely annihilated like those pharaohs whose names were erased."

"I see that you always mention Pharaoh? Why?" Shangluo asked doubtfully, "I see that what you are doing now seems to have nothing to do with Pharaoh?"

"No, it does matter." Titus shook his head, "You are the king of Rome, so you can know that many of our powers come from the co-governance of Rome and Greece, and the seizure of Egypt. All the pharaohs We have erased all the names so that we can possess the authority of the Pharaohs. All the achievements that the Pharaohs have done in history have been taken away by us, including the sacrifices to the Nile River, the sacrifices to the Red Desert, the White Desert, and the Black Desert. Commander. Of course - what I want to tell you today is much more important than this."

"Huh? What else are you hiding?"

"It's not about the scale, but the importance to the future, because we have just discovered that this is so important. And we think that Rome may not be able to keep this secret any longer, so we must do it before Rome is destroyed. Just hand over this secret - it depends on you whether you want to accept it or not, but we are really... really nervous."

"I understand." Shangluo nodded, "Then, follow the process."

He looked around, and there was a Roman in red who looked normal, but he fell to the ground and hadn't gotten up yet.

"I'll give you two more to thank you. I'll probably be fine if I take another two." He gestured to Lu Huaiyang with two slender, hairy fingers.

"Here." Lu Huaiyang poured him two pellets like jelly beans, and then informed Zhu Xianfen of the situation through the channel. Zhu Xianxian nodded and prepared to leave the cabin.

Crunch.

At the entrance of the airport at the university campus, Wen Yuan stood there, wearing an ordinary school uniform and holding a bag of popcorn in his hand. The cold wind was blowing, but the popcorn was warm.

Crunch. Han Xingzhi was also eating nearby, grabbing popcorn from Wen Yuan's bag. He didn't mind it being too hot, so he grabbed one by one like the macaques from the Monkey Mountain in the Royal Garden, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"I said, why are you here? Don't you want to stand guard?"

"Crunch crunch. Are you on guard? Why are you wearing school uniform? Crunch crunch." While eating the few edible "grains" left, he changed the topic again and again. He finally managed to take a bite, so he had to eat it quickly.

"This is called plain clothes. So what about you? Are you also in plain clothes?"

"Now I will be wherever my eldest brother is. This is my master's rule. Crunch, crunch, crunch."

"Tsk, then why are you eating my popcorn just standing there?" Wen Yuan took some popcorn towards him.

Chapter 693 Triple Greatness

"You don't know. I can't eat anything else except grains now. This popcorn is barely enough to eat. I'm so hungry now. I'm so hungry."

"I heard someone said you had great luck? Got a ray of inspiration?"

"Look at my eyes turning green from hunger. Do you call this good luck? Crunchy, popcorn is still delicious. It would be great if there was braised pork flavored popcorn. Wait for the elder brother to come out later and ask him for two The dates are ready. So give me some more, I'm starving. Oh, thank you, second brother. Crunchy. Hey? I even got some millet, who has such good taste?"

"They sell it over there, go buy a pot yourself."

"Oh! I just said it's hot. I'll go right away. When the elder brother comes out, I'll give him a taste. This millet is so delicious."

It was Shangluo and Lu Huaiyang who came down from the hatch first, asking the Jin Yiwei who lined up to get ready and stared at the hatch.

Several consuls came out first. They all wore red narrow-fitting dresses, including a tight-fitting knee-length coat, an inner shirt and vest, as well as breeches and riding boots. The exposed belts and buttons were all gold. Then came the entourage wearing light blue and light green official uniforms. Titus, who serves as the inspector, wears a dark green school officer uniform. Although the belt and buttons are silver, the gold medal hanging on his left chest identifies his identity.

"Cough" Like everyone else, before officially setting foot on the land of Cathay, he tidied up his appearance and adjusted the relative positions of his shirt, vest and tie to show a balanced visual perception.

"Lu Qianhu." Shangluo asked in a low voice, "Is there going to be a welcome ceremony or something here soon?"

"Originally, there is." Lu Huaiyang replied, "This is usually the responsibility of the Jin Yiwei. There is indeed a formal welcome ceremony here. After all, they are here to pay New Year greetings. But Rome believes that all etiquette should be omitted. They don’t want to add any ceremonial steps, they’re scared.”

"It seems to be a very important matter." Shangluo said in a suppressed voice, "They just revealed that they have something very important to convey to the emperor."

"If they think there is no need to hold any ceremony, the Emperor himself is here, and they can say it right away. Just wait until they come down."

"Bang~" A moderate explosion sounded outside the airport.

"Scutum (shield)!!!" Titus roared and threw himself forward to knock down the two red-clad consuls. Immediately afterwards, five men in black who looked exactly like him rushed out from behind the queue and piled on top of him one by one, creating a pile of people. All other civil servants were also thrown to the ground. Those who were not thrown to the ground opened their briefcases with their backhands, revealing the mirror-like shields inside the briefcases.

Crunch.

"It smells so good, and there are peanuts and sesame seeds in it. Would you like some?" Han Xingzhi handed over his bag of freshly cooked millet.

"Yeah, crunchy." Wen Yuan grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded, "Well, the millet ones are really delicious too. I will do the same next time."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Huaiyang's voice rang in his ears. He "climbed" and stood up straight:

"Master? What's the matter? Explosion? Where is it? I just stood at the door and didn't move. Well, didn't move - ah? You asked me what to eat? Popcorn. Pfft!!! No, I'm not eating popcorn. . No, no, no, it’s none of my business, I just talked about it.” As he said that, he put the bag he had not finished eating backhand into Han Xingzhi’s bag, and then quickly rolled the bag into a ball. The paper ball was thrown into the trash can.

In the crowd, Titus asked, "Is everything okay?"
