Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"I won't let him go! When I get back, I'm going to settle the account with him! He caused me to run so far!"

[But I don’t blame him for not answering the phone this time. The contract is obviously over. 】

"Ha, not necessarily. I can still imagine his face now. He must have noticed the danger immediately and then retreated somewhere. At the moment of information connection, if he had some discipline, he should come to me to report. Deduct points for him! Remove him from his position as a spiritual beast and accept the investigation from the Lei Department!"

[Then give him a deputy beast level? 】

"What kind of auxiliary beast? Just beat it to the end and demote it to a mount to see the effects."

[Okay, I’ve written it down, Shang Tianjun~] Apollonia has always liked keeping accounts. She likes both other people's and her own.

After sending Lu Lulong in advance, Shangluo's anger subsided a little. Fortunately, drawing the sword this time was successful.

Karin looked at the sword on the ground and fell into silence.

"Shangluo, do you think this is the sword my mother gave me, or my sister gave it to me?"

"Forget it." Shangluo was still holding Amon Zeus's arm with one hand, unable to express anything else, "What do you think?"

"I have no idea. She has abandoned me and raised me in the home beside Lake Nemi. Although unlike my sister, I do not have the power of the Great Spirit of the Fountain, my anger towards Elodai is no different from hers. She pities I gave you a sword. She will regret it. I will definitely use this sword to make her regret it.”

"Well. Then take it and keep it well first - but Lin is really willing to give it up. It seems that the sword has never left her body since I saw her. She is either dancing with the sword or using it. The sword was hanging on her body. You asked her for it, and she gave it to you. "

"Because she is my sister~~" Karin hugged the sword and smiled again on her face, "Elodea, it is a nightmare after all. The home in Lake Nemi and my sister are real, and I am in the Palace of Muses." The work is real. And you, and you are real—oh, and Miss Phaethon, and Lady Apollonia!"

【Put me last. Tsk, give you a little black flower. 】

"Ah, I'm sorry. I've never really seen you before, so it's easy to forget."

[Forget it, you will really see me sooner or later. When Alexander cashes in his debt, the day will not be far when we will actually meet. What Xiao Heihua means is that you owe me a meal. Remember to treat me to a meal. I want to eat barbecue. 】

"Ah, okay." Although I don't know why I want to eat barbecue, since it is Apollonia's request, it is Shangluo's request. Karin unconditionally trusts him, her, and her.

"Can I just cut it down?" Karin raised her sword and looked to the side.

"That's right." Shangluo nodded, "If everything goes well, you can chop off Amon Zeus's head with one knife, and our matter here will be over."

"Ha!!!" Without saying a word, Karin raised her sword and slashed it down - and then bounced away with a clang.

"Ah this."

"It's okay." Shangluo waved his hand, "As expected. This divine body belongs to Alexander and Achilles. It is indestructible and can only be cut off by the heel. You two, pull here. I Take Karin to the heel. If Senior Fu can't deal with it - I always think he can't - then let Karin use the big sword to deal with it. Well, this is in line with the development of things. I think it's very good. If it is reasonable, then this matter must be reasonable.”

Chapter 840 Magic

"You seem to have changed." Karin suddenly said to Shangluo while they were on their way.

"What has changed? I remember that when we first met, I also wore this suit of armor."

"It feels like you have changed. You have become omniscient and omnipotent. Your understanding of me has even surpassed mine."

"Well, actually you can understand. You can understand why this is the case." As he said that, Shangluo stretched out the armor on the palm of his left hand that had been refined.

"What are you?" Karin reached out and touched it - she understood immediately.

"There's body temperature! There's touch! It's like I'm really touching your hand. It's not like armor at all, but more like touching the skin of a dragon. There are scales on the outside of the skin. You also have touch, right? ?”

"Yeah. Although I've never felt this way before, it's nice to have scales."

"By the way, then how do you say 'I can understand' this situation? I don't know at all."

"Really? Lend me the sword."

Karin held out her sword. Shangluo knocked a violent chestnut on the sword.

"Hey!" Karin was startled and asked subconsciously, "Why did you hit me?"

Her subconscious reaction was not to be angry, but to wonder why Shangluo did this.

But she soon understood:

"My consciousness also extends to this sword?!"

"Perhaps, this is where the magic of the sword lies. The Great Elf of Yongquan's swordsmanship is so exquisite that he can use his fingers like an arm. I'm afraid it's because he has practiced swordsmanship, or it's literally 'like he can use his fingers like an arm'."

"So this is ah!"

"Yes. So the elves, as silver people, have had their bodies taken away. In contrast, the elves can define their bodies more freely. The swordsmanship of the Great Elf of Yongquan is a swordsmanship that defines the sword as a part of itself - according to In our opinion, this has easily entered the ultimate state of 'man and sword becoming one'."

"So that's it!" Karin herself didn't know that the elves actually worked like this. "I actually asked you to teach me to know this. It's really remiss of my duty."

"Perhaps Lin didn't want you to be exposed to this information. She would rather you live as a complete human being."

"I don't want to cause trouble to her. If possible, I would like to hold the sword for her for a while like I am now. I should also be included in the settlement with Elodai. So..." She looked at Shangluo, "Can you teach me? I want to learn too. How do you know so much? You must have become wiser!"

"No, no, no." Shangluo shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. It is impossible for me to become 'smart', because the extra wisdom will definitely affect my personality. It's hard to say whether I will be me or not by then. I It becomes like this because I am a puddle of water now. My body is gone, so my definition becomes freer.”

"Then are you still a male?"

"I just became a fluid, I didn't define myself as a fluid. You don't have to be so strict - why do I always feel like you are afraid of offending me? I always feel like every sentence has to have an ellipsis."

"Because," Karin said bravely, "because you're truly amazing. You saved me, and you're also my boss's boss. I didn't know before that Lady Apollonia was one of the people you've been with. She's a true god!"

"I don't think she's distracted. But you can be more natural and relaxed. It might be because we haven't had enough opportunities to interact before, so we're not familiar with each other yet. It doesn't matter, first time is better than second time. After I take Thebes back, there will be plenty of opportunities for us to interact again - oh, by the way, we're here now."

"Are you here?" She looked forward and saw that she was actually at the entrance of the Metropolis subway station.

"How did we get here? We only walked a few steps."

"Because this is a cut-scene dialogue. I think the cut-scene dialogue is almost enough, so here it is. In addition, I think the story section we are experiencing now is also the 'calm before the storm'. I am sure that the contradictions in it have not been resolved. And you will definitely be the key to solving the problem."

"???" Karin had no idea what Shangluo was doing, "What is this?"

"Magic, real magic. I think the development of things in this way is in line with the laws of narrative, so it will come step by step as I expected - I have discovered that since even an existence of the level of Amon Zeus can Let me drag you down, then I might as well make more use of my current situation. After all, this is my 'god's domain'."

Karin blinked and asked Shangluo carefully: "Can I ask, what are your expectations for the ending of this story?"

"Well - my personal preference is to have a big explosion! Big explosion! Because this way the show is very effective and I like it very much."

"So, Mr. Shangluo, if you decide this way, our adventure will definitely end with an explosion? What a wonderful prophecy!"

"It's not really a prophecy. I think if Apollonia can fully enter the state, he can also gain such power - it's not just a prophecy, but I feel the flow of fate, and then make the most in line with universal expectations. Just paraphrasing the part.”

While talking, the sound of fighting came from the subway station.

"What do I mean, their things are definitely not over there. They definitely need our help."

——However, after entering the door, Shangluo realized that he did need his help with the things inside the door, but it didn't seem that he particularly needed his help. Because including Fu Yuanshan, all the other Jinyi guards were standing by and watching.

The ones fighting in front were Ptolemy and Seleucus, two dragon tooth soldiers. And those fighting against them were two equally "huge" yellow scarf warriors.

Yellow Turban Warrior - Shangluo has never seen it before, but at first glance, he knew that this thing should be the Yellow Turban Warrior. The surface of the cut paper is like ruby, and the beard is like soap velvet. He seems to have a body of ten feet and a strength of a thousand kilograms vertically and horizontally. On the side of the yellow scarf, the golden ring is shining with the sun's rays; in the middle of the embroidered jacket, the iron armor is covered with frost and swallows the shadow of the moon. He always protects the Dharma in front of the altar and subdues demons every time he comes to the world. He is a paper man that cannot be punched, chopped, or beaten to pieces.

In the space above and below, the Yellow Turban Warrior can only see one side like the Paper Man. It looks like the Paper Man in the comics ran out. The "one-sided" paper man was fighting with two dragon tooth soldiers of similar height, and the fight was back and forth. Fu Yuanshan was watching.

"Senior Fu, why are you watching here?"

"Look carefully." Fu Yuanshan pointed at the dragon tooth soldiers, "Have you seen how many times the yellow scarf warriors hit them with hammers? Every time they made cracks, they recovered instantly. At the beginning, we also went up to fight, The result was like this, even a dozen people could not hit a single stone, so I called two yellow scarf warriors. Anyway, the yellow scarf warriors couldn't be killed. If you didn't come, I planned to see which side would run out of power first. ”

"Ah, so you're at an impasse here, right?" Karin asked.

"Where did this little girl come from? It's very straightforward. We are indeed at an impasse. Do you have any good ideas? Hey, the sword in your hand looks good. How about you go up and kill Amon Zeus? "

"Should I kill the Sun God?" Karin raised her sword, "Well, it turns out that calling me here is really useful..."

Chapter 841 Dragon Ball

"Your Majesty, the situation on the frontline is basically under control." Lu Huaiyanghui reported, "After our full access, all fronts have made a turn for the better - the city of New Antioch has been suppressed, and General Fu has led the team Support has arrived at Shangluo. Although the situation suddenly became unstable, and an entity named [Amon Zeus] came to disrupt the situation, it has been brought under control due to proper handling at the front, and the final cleanup work is currently underway."

"Very good." Zhu Xianfen took a sip of tea, "That's why I said, those Roman things are not reliable at all, and we have to rely on us at critical times. Where are all the people now?"

"With Shangluo as the center, the Jinyi Guards Select Team has arrived at Shangluo. Wen Yuan and the others had already arrived at the 'Fangcun Mountain' where Shangluo was required to be launched before the last contact. Although they have lost contact now, Not a big problem.”

Although he can't contact his apprentice now, it is indeed not a big problem in terms of the overall task. Lu Huaiyang didn't mention it any more.

"Where are they?" Zhu Xianfen asked.

"We used to establish contact with them through the Dragon Ball. Now that the Dragon Ball has been released, the connection has been interrupted."

"So the Dragon Ball is in Shangluo's hands now? Does he know how the Dragon Ball came about?"

"Should know - oh no." Lu Huaiyang suddenly remembered, "Shangluo should not know. Because Wen Yuan brought this news over, and Wen Yuan didn't know. That guy's confidentiality level was not high enough, and he couldn't do it. I thought the dragon beads belonged to Taiye Dragon King - in fact, the dragon beads belong to the imperial court and were only given to Taiye Dragon King at your request."

"Tsk, I didn't really want to give it to her in the first place. Although the Dragon Balls are reserved as 'one of the ways to build a foundation', the role of the Dragon Balls goes far beyond just building a foundation."

"Don't you owe the whole family your life?"

"That's also because the 'investment' of the Dragon Balls to the Dragon King is very cost-effective, so I am willing to do this favor. In addition, I really have to give an explanation to my grandma. She must have given this 'karma' After thinking about it, I gave the dragon ball to her. Now that she knows the basics and uses the dragon ball for official purposes, we should just step back and pretend that nothing happened. Now that Shangluo can use it, let’s give it to Shangluo. ”

"I'm afraid she's not that virtuous."

"Whether she is virtuous or not is not up to her. In the final analysis, it is up to me."

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to like her very much?"

"I used to be a very cute girl, so why did I tell everyone that I couldn't catch the fish? Now everyone says that I poisoned the fish if I couldn't catch it."

"Didn't you give birth to the dragon in the pool?"

"Then it proves that I did it! Isn't it reasonable for me, the emperor, to give birth to a dragon? Now I can't even quibble. I must have cast the poison. In short, I can finally give the dragon ball to Shangluo. This is the best ending.”

"But if the Dragon Ball is in Shangluo's hands, we won't be able to test the unity of heaven and earth. After all, the unity of heaven and earth requires the Dragon Ball to be detonated."

"So Shangluo getting the Dragon Ball and detonating the Dragon Ball are tied for the first place - in the final analysis, getting him back is the most important thing. Dao Ji can be found slowly, but he has to be alive to bear it. Dao Ji. No matter whether you blow it up or give the dragon ball to Shangluo, the difference is that one is more useful to the court and the other is more useful to the heaven."

Although he really wanted to see how [Heaven and Earth Harmony] would explode. But if Shangluo can use the Dragon Balls and enter a higher realm, its effect on the court and even the world will be no less than a doomsday weapon like [Heaven and Earth Harmony]. And compared to those bombs, the wise Shangluo is obviously more widely used.

Thinking of these, Zhu Xianfen felt very good. Coupled with the fact that the wealth does not flow to outsiders, he feels even better.

"Let's open a bottle of Daughter's Red! Let's celebrate!"

"Ah, Your Majesty, although we seem to be almost winning, we haven't won yet."

"It's okay. I'm happy today. Has the communication with Shangluo been restored? Tell him that your daughter is blooming! I'll wait for him to come back for dinner!"

Shangluo was shocked when he heard that Zhu Xianxun started drinking at halftime.

What's wrong with you? My heart skipped a beat.

“It’s an ominous sign.”

[It’s okay, it’s just superstition. 】

"But here, whatever I fear will come! I understand, this is divination, this is an omen."

[Well, there is some good news. It turns out that the dragon ball doesn’t belong to the Dragon King? 】

"Yeah." This news neutralized the ominous omen. He just learned from the message sent by Zhu Xianfen that the dragon ball was not actually brought by the Dragon King - she was not old enough to form the dragon ball.

"So, where does it come from specifically?" he asked Fu Yuanshan next to him.

"I just found out, it turns out it's the same one from before. Tsk, I thought if you buy one, get one free, you can get a dragon ball by enlightening the Dragon King. If I remember correctly, this dragon ball should be the Dragon King of the South China Sea Chi-Ji. The Dragon Ball is from the Golden Core stage, so it gives you a lot of experience in the Golden Core stage, right?"

"So that's it? Then why don't I feel anything?"

"Because Dragon King Chi-Ji was in seclusion - the dragon's care was more about physical transformation, so he didn't come out for a long time. In order to prevent the imperial court from being able to take care of him when he was away, he kept the dragon ball in Yanping in Pontianak. Hou there. And, this is why I had to go to Nanyang to get the dragon beads."

"Then I have the dragon ball here. Wouldn't it be troublesome if I broke it?"

If it's "Little Red"'s Dragon Ball, then just borrow it, it's really not a big problem. But if this is the baby of an old monster who is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then it will be great fun. If something goes wrong here, it might lead to big trouble.

"Ah, don't worry about this." Fu Yuanshan waved his hand, "When Dragon King Chi-Ji breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will be reborn and will no longer need the Dragon Ball. The Dragon Ball itself can be regarded as his immortal slough. If it is really useful, he I had already brought it with me when I was in retreat.”

"Then I missed it?"

"Well, it should have been left to Guo Xing's family. After all, Guo Xing is the direct disciple of Dragon King Chi Jing. Although Guo Xing himself didn't learn it, his uncle is the 'Wan Guan' you have met. "General', he practices the Taoism of the Red Jing Dragon King lineage."

Shangluo was deeply impressed by General Wan Guan Zheng Yin because he also used golden branches, but his golden branches were bought.

"The Taoism of the Chi Jing Dragon King's lineage? What exactly is that?"

""The Art of Dragon Transformation". As the name suggests, it is the Tao method of transforming a human body into a dragon body. Eh? Why did your expression suddenly change?"

Shangluo's expression changed drastically when he heard this. Before he could answer, Karin next to him was already frightened:

"His hands! I just said his hands were covered with dragon scales. It turns out he is really going to turn into a dragon!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Shangluo, don't turn into a dragon here! If you use the dragon body to achieve the golden elixir, your human body will be gone! The golden elixir is to define Xiao Zhoutian, you can't use the dragon body to define Xiao Zhoutian ! Spit out the dragon ball!"
