Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

Chapter 782 Not in the service area

"That's right." After arranging other things, Zhu Xianfen suddenly remembered, "What did Longlong just say?"

"He said he knew the situation very well. He knew what Taiyi Jinhua was. After all, his cultivation level seemed to be higher than both of ours."

"But Taiyi Jinhua and Taiyi Jinhua are also different. The model of [Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth] was just solved by Shangluo for us. Does he really know it?"

"." Lu Huaiyang thought for a while, "How about we call again and ask? What if he makes a mistake?"

"Call, call now. Dial for me and I'll call."

30 seconds later, Lu Huaiyang came back from outside:

"It can't be connected. It's not in the service area."

"Wait a minute, how did you make the call before? She probably didn't have our communication equipment there. How did you get through the phone call to her before?"

"We use a relay signal to forward the call to Alexandria. There is a relay station on the Alexandria Lighthouse. But the feedback from the other side is that the other party's signal can no longer be received."

"Is this normal?"

"It's abnormal to get through." Lu Huaiyang replied, "Because it is a submarine, it can only be contacted when it surfaces and actively deploys its communication equipment. It has probably sunk now. It’s a normal state.”

"Then how do I contact you?"

"No more contact. That thing is invisible because 'no one knows where it is.' Because 'no one knows where it will come from,' so 'it can come out of anywhere.' . Now as long as they sink, no one will know where they are."

"So I say those Roman gadgets are really unreliable. They seem useful at ordinary times, but they always fail at critical times. Our metaphysics is used to solve the problem of reliability, and their reliability itself is metaphysics. Metaphysics is also That’s it, they don’t have any virtue. They don’t know how to get more help and have less help. If they don’t have destiny to help them, they still rely on luck. This is courting death.”

"But it seems that they can make a lot of noise precisely because they often collapse themselves. When dealing with these movements, they can often unearth powerful things from them."

"They don't smelt iron themselves, and they are counting on meteorites falling from the sky to use meteorite iron. Tsk." Zhu Xianfen put down the phone, "Longlong, it should be fine. It should. In short, I don't expect God to take care of everything. It's all arranged. In the end, it all depends on people. We have to call me when the Water Dragon is launched. I want to say a few words to the astronauts."

"How's it going? Is the call connected?" Shangluo asked Apollonia in a private chat.

[Can't get through, can't get through at all, this is not in the service area. 】

Little Pompeo sat opposite them in the black limousine. The sitting position is still the same as before, and even the style of the car is the same as before. It's just that the little Pompey sitting opposite now has a pair of big horns.

This horn is not the sharp goat horn that is the stereotype of a "demon". More similar to sheep, or the large curly horns possessed by the "two-horned gods" common in Mesopotamia.

The large horns extend from the top of his skull, forming an arc on the left and right sides of the head, and the tips of the horns are slightly raised next to the ears. The whole horn was covered with a coat of silk, and the tip of the horn was covered with gold.

"Well, let me introduce myself first." He folded his arms and sat across from me. "You may have seen my impersonator. I'm not surprised that the cowardly imposter seemed to lose his power in the sunlight."

"you are?"

"Pompey Leon Pompey Magnus - myself. Shangluo, you are very familiar with Victoria, so you should know the meaning of my name. Pompeii Leon is a title, and it is also my name. Pompeii is a clan name , Magnus is the surname of our family. This name belongs only to me."

"Wait, so that's the one I saw up there."

"It is the blood of Hydra that differentiates the imitation - simple elf magic, but very effective. This magic effectively expanded the number of Romans, and there are no flaws. You should have seen the three on the west side of my empire. Replacing the first, second and third floors.”

"I thought there wouldn't be another one"

"Of course, it's impossible to have another one under normal circumstances. But I moved here myself, so there's nothing surprising about it. I can go wherever I want, right?"

"Since you know why I'm here, you also know what Victoria is doing. So, aren't you going to tell me what you want to do? And, do you have to explain why you have a pair of horns on your head?"

"Oh, my King of Rome, you are asking the same question - the answer is that the lighthouse plan has never been unanimously approved by the Senate. We do not agree with Helios' plan, we We need to find our own way to salvation, so we seek the help of Amon Zeus. As for what we want to do, the answer is already clear——"

He opened his hands: "We will bring Thebes to the New World. The Oracle represents Greece, the Senate represents Troy, and Thebes represents Egypt. On the ruins of the Roman Empire, Alexander's empire will be in the ashes. Rebirth. The two horns will be the symbol of this empire. We have already cast the throne, and we are waiting for the arrival of the two-horned king."

"Then?"

"Then what?" He looked at Shangluo.

"Do you have any specific demands? For example, 'consciousness uploading' or 'flesh and blood are weak', etc. I have already seen both of these."

"That is just the shallow view of fools. Without the land under the sun and just retaining consciousness, this is the cowardice of ordinary people. Maybe it is a good result for ordinary people, but what we can achieve is far more than that. As for the suffering of flesh and blood, I also know Victoria’s current state. If I’m not mistaken, she has already used Stone Heart, isn’t she?”

"It can be seen, indeed."

"So, what we can bring is a more glorious future - let the world return to the true heroic age, return to the world where gods and mortals walk on the earth. We want to see Troy and Greece launch a war, we want to see the blood flow Chenghe. And you are in a place where you shouldn’t be. "

He looked at Shangluo: "Now that you are here, don't leave. Raise the golden cup with us and share the Amon Zeus bar. King of Rome, the direct master of Troy, you will have a seat next to Amon Zeus. You will Be the most important guest and witness to all this.”

"That's good. Would you like some grape juice?"

"No, I brought it myself." He reached into his arms and took out two bottles of Wangzai milk. "Would you like a bottle? I think you are unlucky, so you should also be prosperous."

Chapter 783 Crosscutting

"What if I say no?"

"Whoever you say is your business, whether we can do it or not depends on our 'coordination' with each other. But I would like to remind you that what you are doing now is all part of Thebes' plan."

"for example?"

"For example, why do you think Karin came to get the forbidden book? That forbidden book is also the key to the plan."

"Wait a minute, Muse Palace belongs to you too?"

"Half, half." He shook his head, "Victoria should have told you that anything the Romans do will be opposed by the other half of the Romans, and it's the same here. Half of the Muses Palace is also opposed to this matter. Alexander How could the empire be without Alexander? And the Oracle - now that Apollonia is gone and Phaethon is gone, the strength of the Oracle is almost completely blank. "

"So you spent so much effort, but the main purpose is to get that book?"

"Of course. We didn't originally plan to invite you here, but the wind of fate blew you here - it can be said that we were unlucky. I don't know why the plan fell apart. Your arrival did surprise me. . But you were originally on the list, so now I have to ask you to come and have a drink with us in advance.”

"That book is important to you?"

"Supernatural power, magical power, what can we do without gods? That book contains the gods of the heavens. We dug this hole so deeply just to implant it into Gaia. Soon, Magic will walk on the earth.”

"???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "You want to release the magic?"

"How can there be no magic in the age of heroes? This is the promise and gift given to us by the Two-Horned King - of course, this is purely an exchange of interests. Although it is a bit presumptuous to say this, our support for the Two-Horned King is entirely based on real interests. It is a consideration, not a doctrine. It is better to let the world change its appearance than to hide away from it. "

"Let me also explain from the perspective of practical interests." Shangluo said, "I don't care about Rome's internal affairs. No matter how you divide it, it is your own business. I just want to know whether what you do will affect us. there."

"Of course things within the Great Wall will continue as usual. It's just that there may be some minor problems."

"???" Shangluo looked at him, "What about?"

"For example, making the earth on our side unobservable by physical means. It's not that it can't be observed, it's just that after observing, you will enter the 'night'. Of course it doesn't matter if you stand on the earth, but if you look directly at it and are covered by a curtain, In the Western Hemisphere, you are likely to be pulled into unpredictable situations. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that.”

"This is not good! You have crossed a line, you know?"

"Mr. Shangluo, please understand. The boundary between Cathay and Rome is bounded by the Ural Mountains and many natural landforms on the earth. This is the boundary on the earth. I think this boundary should have been extended directly to the sky. The infinity in the universe is divided in this way.”

"This is not what we agreed with Victoria. The vast sea of ​​stars belongs to us, and the Nutshell universe belongs to you. This is the content of the agreement. The Senate also signed it, didn't it?"

"Had we agreed with that decision, we wouldn't be here today. We insist that the demarcation of infinity should be cut vertically! Along natural boundaries."

"Cut it horizontally! It was all discussed before!"

"No, just cut it vertically!"

The two of them were so excited, and there was no one else in the car. When the issue was reduced to whether to cut horizontally or vertically, the discussion itself had no way to end.

[You two, you two, can you calm down for a moment?] Apollonia spoke from Shangluo's phone so that little Pompey could hear.

"Lady Apollonia, you are here too. Do you think it should be cut horizontally or vertically?"

【Don’t cut it! Wouldn’t it be great if everyone stayed where they were? I don’t think there’s any need to go somewhere else or transform the earth. Just change your body. 】

"Then you are standing from the perspective of a third party. I'll assume that you abstain. Mr. Shangluo, it's still one to one here."

"Is this something we can decide by just casting a vote here? The border has been drawn. The sky belongs to us, and there is no need to talk about anything else."

"Since you want Rome to stay in the underworld so much, then we have to ask you to watch all this here. Before everything is over, please sit in the audience. It is safe here, very safe. There are two pairs of heads on your head Those who have horns are blessed by the god Amun. If you eat them, you will also receive blessings.”

"What if I don't eat?"

"No one is forcing you to eat it. After all, this is food from a foreign land, isn't it? You have to take the initiative to eat it to be effective. However, you cannot go to other places, and there is nothing else to eat here. So, please feel free to do so."

"Tsk. Do you think I can't leave?"

"No, no, of course we don't think so. We just think that you might agree with our opinion. If you really don't want to agree, then we have to ask you to sit back."

He looked at Shangluo: "Of course, we will never, never hurt you. Because we know that hurting you will never have good results. If you are hurt, Cathay will never let us go, and neither will the emperor. No. But if you are not harmed, the emperor will not interfere, right?"

"???" Shangluo thought about it for a moment - it's true. If he himself is fine, then even if there are some conflicts between the imperial court and Rome over how to cut the world, Daozu will not care. Not only would Taoist ancestors not care about it, even the heavenly masters wouldn't care too much.

"So, you have discovered it." He spread his hands, "Under the premise of 'you will never be harmed', all this has to be solved by yourself, you can't 'sway people' Help. You can just sit here and wait. I believe that the emperor will not be angry for just a few decades. With all the reincarnations in this world, many of the emperors of Cathay have died. , there will be more in the future, right?”

"You're touching on issues you shouldn't be touching."

"Isn't it? The emperor only cares about his own bloodline, but he doesn't care who that person is. Even if you stay here for decades, even if the emperor changes a dozen times, we know that you can always stay here ”

"Can I take this as a declaration of war?"

"No, you shouldn't take this as a declaration of war, this is just an invitation." Little Pompeo spread his hands, "I'm smiling at you, you shouldn't reach out and hit me, right?"

"Ha." Shangluo also smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I remembered a funny thing - you were very accurate about Daozu's thoughts, but you seem to have underestimated the power of the court. Since you said you want to wait, then let's wait."

Chapter 784 Wang Zai Milk

"It is indeed an interesting industrial food." Little Pompeo finished drinking the Wangzai milk. For a moment, he looked at the can in his hand in a daze, "But the shape of this can is really interesting."

"Have you never seen a can?"

"No. Indeed not." Pompey the Younger replied, "As a member of the Senate, I am usually insulated from industrial products, especially industrial food. I don't know if I have ever eaten anything in a can in my life. But the can was handed to me only once. I’m afraid it’s because we’re the only ones here. If it were normal, my servant would have put all these in cups for me.”

[Tsk, the rancid smell of the Senate. 】

"I can actually hear you talking. Even if you don't turn up the sound." Pompey Jr. replied.

【Why? I obviously didn't feel like you could hear me. 】

Little Pompey gently clasped his horn: "One of the many functions blessed by Amon Zeus. There are no secrets between us."

【ha? Is there such a way to play it? Then how can you hear me if I don’t have horns? 】

"Because you have to put on a disguise to hear me. If you don't pretend, I will have to listen to you."

【He is deceiving us! 】

"Uh-huh." Little Pompeo smiled, "How you recognize it is your business. I'm just conveying the facts I know."

【ah. ] Apollonia laughed, and then called up Fetion in Shangluo's sight:

【Fool. Then if I send a text, it doesn’t count as speaking. 】

This time, little Pompey didn't reply.

【You see! I said he was cheating on me. You can say that you can hear my heart, but you can only hear the sound in my frequency band. That's an antenna. 】

"He might be pretending. After all, we don't know what he is thinking."

[Look, this is the consumption trap. Everyone around me said to you, 'I can hear your voice! 'If you can't hear others, then you definitely want to consume. He may have made up an illusion - as long as all people can hear each other, they can be equal to each other. However, the church also said that everyone is equal, but even the German barbarians did not take it seriously. They can hear each other's voices, there's just one more mouth. 】

"By the way, what exactly is Ammon Zeus's vision?"

"I'm sure he hasn't finished telling you. Blessing? Building Thebes? I think that's true, but it's only part of the plan. I don't think the Senate has been holding back for so long, colluding with others, simply to divide the family here. They're right about one thing—they're definitely looking for a new future, a new solution. Through this solution, they can provide the same future as the 'Lighthouse Project.'"

"You mean, the promise of the so-called [Heroic Age] is just false?"

[I think the name should be this. But the real content inside is probably much more than what he said. He failed to mention at least one thing - in the heroic age, gods walked among humans, and humans could also create gods. Otherwise, during the Trojan War, the gods would not have been tearing each other apart over human affairs. 】

"Ah, when you say that, I also discovered it. In Homer's epic, the Trojan War is like the main plot. Or in the plot of the entire Greek mythology, the Trojan War is like the main plot of the entire era. Before the Trojan War, the gods The story is independent and fragmented, and stories of various gods can happen in various places. However, when the Trojan War begins, all the famous gods must declare their participation, which is an unprecedented event.

"And it's more than that. Because before this, human mythology was only an abstract rather than a concrete existence. Many times when we just needed a mortal image, we used the concept of 'human'. The city-states described in it, There is no difference between kings and characters and 'a certain king of a certain place a long time ago'. At most, it is just because it is in Greece, so the place names and characters can be tested.

"In this story mode, the gods changed several generations, a war started between the Olympus Protoss and the Titans, and Zeus was also worried about the 'curse of being overthrown by his descendants' of the Olympus Protoss. And among these In addition, Persephone went to the underworld to eat Hades' food, forming winter; the daughter of the night god opened the sky, all nights, etc. These are all creation myths in a general sense, except for Zeus. Giving birth to a divine son with the daughter of a certain king in a certain place sounds a bit popular.”

[That is just a functional routine appearance. Sometimes, this situation is like Zeus 'selling money' everywhere, serving as ancestors to various people in various ancestral myths. Some of these ancestral stories are very detailed, some are very crude, and it can even be seen that the funding is high or low. 】

"After the main plot of the Trojan War began, the major events of human civilization coincided with the major events of God for the first time - I can feel that human time and God's time have finally reached synchronization here. Because here Before, the images of Zeus and others were more like natural gods, like human beings’ interpretation of the known world. Only from here can we see the true meaning of [The Age of Heroes]: humans and gods truly live together.”

[So, you have expected it. The essence of what he calls the heroic age. 】

"Yes." Shangluo replied, "Essentially, I think he may not want to send humans to the spiritual world, but directly pull the spiritual world over. If nothing else, they want the world The sphere of influence is cut vertically, which is very credible, but is this whole thing feasible?”

[It was originally impossible - before Amon Zeus truly revealed his plan. Even the craziest careerist has never thought of bringing the spirit world over. Because the answer is obvious: it would render the past of human civilization meaningless. Like Homer's Greece and Troy, it doesn't matter what form they were in the past. Their past origins, everything in their past, are nothing worth mentioning in the shining age of heroes. Greece and Troy, these two names began to be engraved in history from here. And these.]
