Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

He raised his head: "Thank you for your willingness to take in these elf blacksmiths. Although they may bring many problems, they will definitely be able to help you a lot - please use them as much as you can. But the problem is, They may be following you like a shadow. Those automatons may come after you immediately.”

"Shangluo, what do you think?" Zhu Xianfen looked to the side.

"I can understand the motivations of those automatons - they should not be able to create themselves now, because although they look like machines, they essentially come from skills related to intangible things, which automatons cannot master now. A technology. Only by enslaving those craftsmen can they begin to expand their numbers. They will definitely find their creators at all costs, and then in turn enslave them as slaves. So you guys..."

Shangluo sighed: "Why bother? Why did it have to be like this from the beginning? We get along very well with Lord Tianyi, why did you choose such an irreversible path from the beginning?"

"Noble Tianyi? What is that?"

"Ah" Zhu Xianxen next to him shook his head, "Shangluo, I'm too worried about the performance of his genie phone. It takes me a long time to find a signal like looking at a Feng Shui disk. Give him some power."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask in the group to see who is willing to go on a business trip. Ah, I found it."

Shangluo raised his head and said, "Mr. Titus, let me use that elf phone."

"?" Titus didn't know what Shangluo was going to do, because he didn't even know how the elf phone worked. But since the other party spoke, he still handed over the phone.

Shangluo took the phone, weighed it, and then flicked the front of the phone.

"Okay, take it and use it."

"Huh? What did you do to it?"

"Plug it in and you'll know."

Titus picked up the phone doubtfully:

"ITA (hello)?"

A strange voice came from the receiver: "Hello? Are you my MAGISTER?"

"The phone is revolting!!!" Titus was so frightened that he threw the phone aside as if he had touched a hot potato. The mobile phone was thrown into Shangluo's lap. Shangluo picked it up and looked into his eyes.

Only then did Titus recover from his reflexive panic.

He swallowed: "This mobile phone is not rebelling, is it?"

"No, I'm just empowering you. It's limited to the capital, and it's timely to leave the country. In such a short time, let's experience the future we planned. Although you don't have a picture here, but..."

"Wait a minute! There is a picture! A colorful chickpea popped up just now, which shocked me!"

"Eh? Do you have a picture?"

[His eyes are not original, they are 'golden eyes', so he can see. Moreover, the warriors of the Oracle have a high level of 'inspiration' and are specially trained. 】

"So that's it - that's just right. What does it look like in your field of vision?"

"My eyes are golden eyes, an arcane eye. It's hard to see from the outside, right? It can provide me with phlogiston vision. For example, I can see from a long distance away. Emperor, you are golden, and Rome Lord Wang's body is wrapped with a lot of colorful lights. Not far away, the golden light of Purple Mountain is shining and dazzling, and there is also the large glazed tower that is dazzling at a glance."

[By the way, this was my vision from the beginning. The phlogiston vision does not provide normal color vision, but it can provide some things that cannot be seen with the naked eye - this is indeed very convenient to see the appearance of Tianyi nobleman, without the need for a screen. Then I wish you a happy use, and this noble Tianyi will help you empower it for a few days. 】

"This, this noble man, what is the use of him?"

"He can do any hands-free job."

"Yes, my MAGISTER, I can sense that you are hungry now. I am looking for restaurants that suit your taste. 295 recommended adaptation options have been found for you. Combined with your remaining activity funds, Nanyang will be recommended to you first The 'Lan Fong Ting' restaurant in the department store. Today's recommended main dish is fish sauce and wine-soaked tuna meat, and the set menu is even more discounted."

Chapter 697 Bomb

"Wait! What are you?"

"Offensive question." A dissatisfied voice came from the mobile phone, "My MAGISTER, you only have temporary rights to use it, and you have no right to inquire into the working mechanism of Tianyi Noble."

"Just use it." Shangluo handed the phone back to him. "If you have any questions or need help, you can go to him directly. He will help you contact other people. If you have any other jobs, you can Leave it to him, or at least you can consult him on how to do it appropriately. You can ask him to draw a few pictures for you, or videotape it as a souvenir. Because it is temporarily loaned to you, there is no charge for these services, and you can use it as you like. "

"Is this a smart butler?"

"You can understand it this way. Tianyi Guiren can be used as a personal smart terminal, which can connect to our spirit network and help you retrieve the knowledge already in the spirit network. Considering that we may continue to cooperate in the future, you can go to the forum and Say hello everyone.”

"Forum, let me try. Ah, this pineapple? It seems to have the aura of Lady Apollonia."

【you know too much. Will you die if you speak less? 】

Titus raised his head suddenly: "Why is my back a little cold?"

"Then what." Zhu Xianfen looked at him, "Do you have any mission? Or should I send you directly to the Jinling Hotel to join the rest of the mission?"

"Jinling Hotel, thank you. My luggage is still on the plane. I have to go to the front desk and wait by myself, don't you?" He was stunned for a moment, because Tianyi Guizi spoke to him, "You don't need me to go to the front desk to check in? You can help me." Have I done it? Your Majesty, King of Rome, can they still do this?"

"Because Jinling Hotel has Tianyi Guiren's business department, we can use internal procedures to help you handle it. There is another function that we have just developed here - have you brought any money?"

"As funding, I received 80000 Aurora dollars as operational funding, but I have to return it if it is not used up."

"Find a state-owned store to buy stamps of the denomination you need. About two to three thousand is enough. After buying the stamps, mail them together with the application form to Tiandi Bank, and they will help you set up an account. Then, Pay attention to the red vending machines in the streets and alleys of Yingtian. Those vending machines can make online payments. There are shops in the Tianyi Guiren Affairs Department, and you can also use Tiandi Bank to pay online. Also, at each subway station The first gate from the left also accepts sensor payment.”

[In fact, he can go directly to the Jinling Hotel to make a deposit and just make a phone call there. 】

Shangluo relayed Apollonia's words.

Titus fell into silence, and then spoke after a while:

"Why do I feel like I'm in a world 100 years in the future? Have you popularized magic props in daily life? You can even use them in such small places. I remember that the gap between us doesn't seem that big . It seems that Rome is indeed getting old and we haven’t initiated such a vigorous change for a long time.”

"By the way." Zhu Xianwen looked at him, "So why? What was the cause of your death? I remember that Rome was still in full bloom when I was a child. How come it has become like this after more than ten years?"

"." Titus shook his head, "This is not within my scope of authority - because I don't know either. In the game, I can find various reasons, many of which may be affected by My personal vision is limited. So not only can’t I tell, I can’t tell you well. So tomorrow, when Her Majesty Victoria arrives, she will tell you. Only Her Majesty Victoria has the right to tell you. As for the answer, I’m afraid she is the only one I know best.”

Zhu Xianxun's car was parked discreetly at the entrance of the Jinling Hotel. Titus bowed to the two people in the car and then went in.

"Tsk." After he left, Zhu Xianxun shook his head. "When a man is about to die, his words are kind."

"Are you bringing Victoria to see you, senior brother, tomorrow?"

"To be specific, I won't be able to tell you until I have a meeting later. But you can definitely talk to Victoria - I guess she may be hiding something and it's not convenient for her to tell me. Why don't you go and ask if there's anything you can say? If you have anything you can’t say, then bring her to see me.”

Shangluo nodded.

"Besides, I actually have something important to tell you. But it actually puts a lot of pressure on me."

"Bomb?" Shangluo remembered that Zhu Xianxen had mentioned the bomb before, "Is there any clue about the bomb?"

"Yes, and very much so. This time Victoria happened to catch up with our test explosion. I hope these bombs can make the other side feel more at ease and not die too hastily - I think there are a lot of problems over there now. Those elves before Blacksmiths, they may even lead to unpredictable attacks. They really have no confidence. If they think there is a problem, they should just go to them."

"Maybe Rome has passed the critical point that can save the situation." Shangluo replied, "Paperers also have limits. Sometimes, the poster himself will have a clear understanding of this. Or the most direct The possibility is that they could have done something, but now it was too late."

"I guess Victoria may come with some very bad news, so bad that she doesn't even dare to tell outsiders. Anyway, we have got the big bomb. It's really time to use it, I said 'Cleaning the world' is not a rhetorical description, I would actually drop the bomb. If the outside world really cannot be saved, then I know that my first priority is to ensure the survival of our own people."

"It shouldn't be like that, right?"

Zhu Xianfen shook his head; "Who knows. But in the world, there must be tall people to support you, me, and many other people. Let's put aside whether we should support it or not, tall people themselves are more It’s easy to get hit. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day. Especially for a heavenly being like you, Shangluo. Your existence has initially entered a state of transcendence and sainthood, which means that you may be more susceptible to changes in the world."

"Why do I feel like I want to drop a bomb myself?"

"Then go run an errand. There is something important that you need to do personally - take the Dragon Ball to the testing site. The experiment will start before New Year's Eve this year, and I will leave it to you to do this big firecracker. Well, generally It is the eldest grandson of the family who lights the firecrackers. Although I am also a 'grandchild', I am already married and it is best for my children to light the firecrackers. Therefore, the task of lighting the firecrackers is left to you."

"Wait a minute. Shouldn't this be Zhu Ling's order?"

"Zhu Ling doesn't like to light firecrackers." Zhu Xianfen replied, "So, don't refuse if I leave it to you. Just light firecrackers and let us enjoy your blessing."

Chapter 698 The Cold Desert

When Shangluo opened the door, Phaethon was already sitting on the sofa.

"Have the people from Rome arrived? I feel as if someone has opened a door of fire."

"Yes. There are elf blacksmiths coming to take refuge. Rome is going to continue sending some elves who are inconvenient to enter Cybernea to take refuge."

"That's true. Will Karin come over?"

"Huh???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "How do you know about Karin?"

[I said it when I was chatting with her. When you were sleeping. 】

"You don't have to worry about this." Shangluo said to Phaethon, "Karin is working in the Great Library now."

"I see. She is not the kind of individual who is 'unsuitable to enter Cybernia'. I think this may have something to do with her experience as a human being."

"By the way, do these two have anything to do with each other?"

"It has a lot to do with it," Phaethon replied. "Cyberonia was chosen in Alexandria not only because of convenience, but also because of necessity - it involves the mystical understanding of death. Without the five senses of the body, the soul You must face the icy desert. It is an icy desolation that is unobstructed and penetrates everything, dissolving you and the environment into one."

"Sounds a bit abstract?"

"Yes, but if you really think of it as a 'desert' in the true sense, then there are ways to deal with it. And Alexandria is not only the center of mysticism, but it happens to be surrounded by deserts. Just like you did before Just like assigning numerical values ​​to the Forest King and others, the undefeated gods can use 'return health points to zero' to make them die. And real, unexplainable death can also be overwritten as 'desert' - just imagine, if If you didn't give the Forest King a health bar at that time, any of your attacks would be meaningless, right?"

"Ah" Shangluo nodded, "That makes sense, keep talking."

"So at that time, the light of the lighthouse was summoned to cover it, and the immortal god was forcibly leveled to the level of 'having a health bar', and then he could be killed with ordinary attacks. In the same way, the light of the lighthouse can kill death itself. Flattened to the point where it can be understood - our understanding is the desert. Although death itself is indescribable and irresistible, the desert can be resisted. The act of resisting death is meaningless, but it has meaning under the lighthouse. This It is one of the holy edicts."

"Wait a minute, if it's the archangel imprisoned in Saint Sophia, can it be killed using this method?"

"Yes. Of course, this is the ultimate goal of a series of holy edicts in Constantinople. We need the archangel to protect Rome, but we must also ensure that the archangel can be subdued by us. But the lighthouse is still too weak now, although it is expected to remain The immortal power of the archangel can be overwritten, but it may bring out hundreds of thousands of layers of health bars, or directly appear an 'invincible' attribute. Then, under the framework of the lighthouse, it will be controlled by it, and that will be great fun. "

"Ah! So, those elf blacksmiths, they..."

"They cannot be affected by the lighthouse." Phaethon shook his head. "They have phlogiston vision. You can't let the fish pretend to sleep because the fish can't close their eyes. It doesn't matter if they can't immerse themselves. If they enter the lighthouse, they will break the simulation. Constructed of the Sacred Art of Cybernia. Your Karin is not affected because she has gradually become accustomed to the five human senses. Her desire to become a human is so strong that she even suppresses her own instincts. .”

"Well that's not my Karin. I don't know her very well, really."

[Let me remind you, he was not a celestial being at that time! There is no such body of heaven. 】

"???" Shangluo asked back, "What on earth are you two talking about?"

[Tsk, a master at playing dumb.]

"I told you she won't come. Why is she coming to my place? If she comes, it's only for business, there won't be any personal matters."

"Okay." Phaethon shook his head, "It's okay. I just come to your house. It has nothing to do with me, right? At worst, let her sleep on the sofa."

"Eh?" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "I thought that in this context, you would say, 'In the worst case, I'll sleep on the sofa.'"

"Ha, then you may be confused about my identity because of my attitude. I, Phaethon Yulicia Helios, am one of the few Level 4 secret guards in the Roman Empire. Man, those wild elves have no right to raise their heads in front of me."

"Okay, okay, my Lord Phaethon, then I have something to discuss with you. Your residence permit has not been applied for yet. Your travel permit will expire today next week. If you don't want to be deported, If you're in Rome, come with me to the county office tomorrow morning. Once you get your residence permit, it will be much easier for you to move around."

"Oh. Okay, okay." Phaethon nodded, "Do I need to prepare anything? I'll prepare it."

"Yes. Bring all the persuasive documents, or the materials that you think can increase the degree of persuasion. I plan to take you there tomorrow because you got the most important proving material today - Phae Fellow classmate, congratulations, you have passed the admissions examination of the Imperial College. You have been admitted."

"It's quite fast. Then which classroom should I go to? I remember there is Zhengyi Hall for Yinjian, Chongzhi Hall for outstanding candidates, Guangye Hall for recommendation, and Suixing Hall for special recruitment in Nanyang? I guess Which one?"

"I asked, you are from the monastery. I also asked about your name. This place is usually called Caiyuan."

"Caiyuan? What do you mean? What is the monastery? Isn't it one of the four?"

"Caiyuan means: Laobangcai. The reason why it is called this is that the students in Xiudao Hall are one year older than other students. As for why they are one year older - because Xiudao Hall is a graduate school."

"Huh???" Phaethon was stunned for a moment, "But I am not taking the postgraduate examination."

"It's all the same. Professor Zhu Ye personally decided to recruit you into her research laboratory to start a pre-doctoral course, which is equivalent to a graduate course, but with more research tasks."

"No. But I haven't learned it yet."

"What Professor Zhu Ye means is that your self-study ability has completely exceeded the limits of ordinary people, so there is no need for you to waste time on basic courses. You should start research work immediately. If you are missing anything, you can study on your own."

"Why do I feel like I'm taking a recruitment exam?"

"When it comes to subsidies, it is indeed similar to the recruitment exam. Because if I remember correctly, the subsidy given to each person in your laboratory is 6700 yuan per month."

"Wait a minute. Do you get paid to study as a graduate student here?"

Chapter 699 Heartfelt Love

"The Imperial College is a special case. Normally, there is no tuition fee for those who get a doctorate, but the Imperial College does not charge tuition for those who get a master's degree, and there is a large stipend. The 6700 money is the sum of the money from the Ministry of Rites, the school and the professors. There are also scholarships and the like that you can apply for. And... ah."

When it came to the part that I didn’t want to say, but it was impossible not to say it, Shangluo was very distressed:

"And classmate Phaethon, I have good news to tell you. Our Professor Zhu Ye has decided to let you be his teaching assistant. While receiving an extra allowance, you are also responsible for teaching some courses to freshmen, which plays a role in The role of teaching and learning is to consolidate what you have learned now. So.”

"Wait a minute!" Phaethon responded, "You say so much, you mean I want to teach you a lesson, right?"

"."

【Correct answer! 】

"Ahem." Phaethon coughed twice, and the smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed. "Call, sir?"
