Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1349 Zong Ji
"Why me again?" Shangluo covered his forehead, "Have I ever offended your dragon clan? One by one, you all want to find me."

After hearing that the solution required him to solve it "personally", Shangluo was shaken.

It's not that he is incapable of sacrificing himself, but the situation of the previous Mirage Princess has already shown that the ethical values ​​of aquatic creatures are probably different from those on land.

It's not just slightly different, it's quite different. Because the marriage of the Shui people seems to be still at the clan stage, and the clan is a true tribe with the clan princess as the leader and blood relationship as the bond.

To sacrifice oneself here is to pay tribute to Chief Ayi Tubie.

"It's not what you think. It's just confirmation during the ceremony."

"I don't agree." Shang Luo still shook his head and said, "I have a mental obsession with cleanliness. I won't sacrifice myself. I ask you to find another plan."

"Find another plan? But this is the tradition of the Dragon Palace. Someone needs to marry the mirage before..."

"So it's not a person, but a clam shell, right?"

"To be precise, it is more similar to the giant clam. The main body of the clam is the giant clam."

"Then how did you become Dragon Princess?"

"Me?" Otohime shook her head. "We dragons can change at will, so it's not that troublesome. Turtle Princess is not that troublesome either, but Mirage Princess can't. Because the life form of Mirage is too different from human form, they can only change into human in the meme state."

[That is, this ritual may be to let you eat mushrooms - or hold a pufferfish and take a sip, and then meet the successor of the mirage princess in your dream and acknowledge her as a human being.]

"I refuse." Shangluo refused firmly, "I will not sacrifice myself. I can't be the one to suffer in the future, right? Well, I have a plan - I can award the seal at most. With the court's certification, it should be enough."

"But...but this." Yiji covered her forehead, "But Zongji inherits the throne through blood, so you must give birth to a child."

"My God, Jinling Yayan wants to have a child! This is too outrageous!"

"Because if you don't integrate your blood into the Dragon Palace, the new Mirage Princess will not be recognized. If you rely on power instead of bloodline, it will cause chaos. This is what my father is doing."

"Okay!" Shang Luo raised his hand. "This is not okay, and that is not okay, right? Then I have decided! This Heavenly Lord orders that from now on, the succession of these princesses of the Dragon Clan will not be based on bloodline or granting. All of you must take the test!"

"Huh???" Otohime was stunned, "Exam? What kind of exam?"

"It's a competition for the position. The court implements the imperial examination republic system, so we ask that the Dragon Palace implement tutelage and let the Dragon Palace also change its political system to the imperial examination republic system. This is also okay, right? Since it is an imperial examination republic system, then such an important position as Zong Ji must be decided by examination - whoever blows bubbles well, whoever blows bubbles most scientifically, efficiently, solidly, and usefully, will succeed the position of Shen Ji."

"no no no"

"Farewell, it is happily decided. This order of the Heavenly Lord takes effect immediately."

He has already taken care of Columbia, so there is no reason for him to leave Dragon Palace alone.

Since automata can be tamed, Ryugu should also be tamed.

Shangluo had long been unhappy with the Dragon Palace. They could keep their own secrets, but they couldn't keep everything secret. These princesses and uncles who inherited their power by blood were all doing their own thing. Because from the birth to the transfer of their power, they didn't need to be responsible to the court.

But now times have changed. Shangluo has decided that everyone can compete for jobs in the future.

"Let me ask first, how are the males and females in the Dragon Palace identified?"

"This is very different!" Yiji replied, "Others are fine, but the Mirage Princess must be a woman. Because the Mirage Tribe only has women, no men."

"How do the Mirage Tribe reproduce?" "Meet in dreams." Yiji replied, "So I told you before that you should meet Mirage Princess in your dreams."

[So, the Mirage Tribe seems to be a half-entity, half-memetic creature. Although they do have a body, their self-identity is completed by the spiritual world. What a wonderful social form.]

"How about Shangluo, you consider it?" Yiji made a final suggestion, "In fact, you can customize your face. Really, Shenji can be customized one by one. Anyway, the appearance is just virtual, and their souls are real."

"It is because the soul is the most real, so the recognition of the soul is more precious, isn't it? I refuse to be matched by a man. I refuse political marriages, starting with me. I have made up my mind, and from now on, the Mirage Princess will be determined by exams. Please hold a bubble blowing exam immediately, and select the strongest Mirage Clan to assist me in the construction of the space station."

"Then why don't you talk to them directly?"

"Are they here yet?"

"Actually, these two next to me are." Otohime pointed at the two new operators behind her.

Shangluo knew that the two of them were from the Dragon Palace. However, they didn't seem to have anything to do with Mirage.

"Are you two from the Mirage Clan?"

The two nodded vigorously: "Our main body is in the cargo hold. The form here is condensed by mirage."

Shangluo stretched out his hand, wanting to give it a try—the other party also stretched out her hand and shook it with him. Sure enough, although their hands were physical, Shangluo could not feel the characteristics of carbon-based life from them.

"So do you agree or disagree with my idea?"

They both looked at each other, then at Otohime.

As the head of all the water tribes, Yiji is the daughter of Ao Zang, but she has the same status as Ao Zang. When Yiji is here, they dare not speak——

"Turn your head away." Shangluo gestured with his hand.

Otohime could only do as she was told and covered her ears.

As soon as she turned her head, the two of them jumped up and said, "Long live! Long live! We can become princesses too!"

"You're happy, aren't you?"

"Because we can now be selected for positions that originally had nothing to do with us! Lord Shang Tian, ​​please give the order. We can work 24 hours a day without rest!"

"Well, can you show us the abilities of the Mirage Tribe under normal circumstances?"

"Okay, okay!" The mirage on the left immediately stepped forward and took out a bubble circle and a pot of bubble water.

She blew gently at the bubbles, and a bowl filled with grass jelly came out.

"Same as before? But the taste is different?"

"For us, the Mirage Clan, these are customizable."

"Very good, very good. Then I will assign you two to not do other heavy work, just work in the kitchen. Except for mealtime, you can allocate your time freely and do whatever you want."
