Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1399 Atlantis Himself

As the last ray of sunlight sank into the sea level, Poseidon's priests ignited the whale oil pool with tridents.

“Woo—”

The first conch shell sounded. On a base carved from the entire coral reef, a lucky person chosen by lottery stood there and blew it.

It was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, whose figure was disproportionate to the huge conch. However, this conch was not blown by airflow, but rather relied on the resonance between the vocal cavity and the shell itself to produce sound.

This is not magic, but pure skill. The guttural sound resonating through the shell explodes into a huge, dull and huge sound wave.

The low sound floated across the sea, and eventually something underwater answered with the same earthquake sound - the same conch shell sound rose from underwater, followed by submarines beginning to emerge from underwater.

This sound was powerful enough to penetrate dimensions. Even a submarine that had already performed a ceremony with the land and was completely disconnected from the land could reestablish contact with Athens through this conch shell.

The submarines that appeared began to demonstrate their sailing posture and formation, with weapons displays in between, such as firing a deck gun after surfacing. As for torpedoes, one would also be fired this time as a signal to end the entire performance.

“So this isn’t really some oversized sea lion show?”

This is more similar than expected.

[It's a sea lion show, but there's nothing we can do about it. You see, they're performing on their own, no one's forcing them - oops, I got you confused. How can this be a sea lion show? This is a ritual to worship Poseidon.]

"I was wondering where to end it. Oh, right? Logically, there should be some reward fish after the performance, right?"

[I've said this isn't a sea lion show. But after that, there is a conch shell blowing session. The conch shell is used to summon and ends the show.]

"Oh~~~~" Shangluo nodded, "So that's how it is. Oh, I've been with the Romans for so long that I can think of a way to fix the bug right away. What a sin, what a sin."

The "sea lion show" was over soon. The round black submarines lined up on the water like sea lions, waiting for the conch shell from the shore to end their mission for the day.

However, the conch shell did not appear as expected. The formation lined up quietly, but only received the same silence. Because Shangluo chose the option of placing it.

If we classify the story based on its theme, this type of story is "unfulfilled promises leading to the entrapment of supernatural beings."

The most typical example of this kind is the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, which Shangluo also knows. The Archangel Gabriel imprisoned there said, "Go and call the others back to work. I will not leave until you come back."

This was recorded in Rome under the name of "Shepherd Stephen" and became one of Rome's top secrets. The biggest beneficiary of this incident was Stephen himself.

The angel's contract is eternal. As a witness and carrier of the contract, Stephen also gained eternity in the process, just like the contract itself.

This is also a model of sealing the mystery, because the process is very direct - as long as the shepherd Stephen does not return to Hagia Sophia, the angel will never leave. As long as the shepherd Stephen does not return, the mural is Gabriel's eternal prison. He is like a firefly caught in a lantern, burning himself for the Roman Empire.

In other words, there was a bug in Gabriel's words that prevented him from completing his instructions.

Although to this day, Gabriel is still counting his feathers in the Roman "cage" and has never escaped.

"It is said that only when a person is deprived of his freedom can he truly understand himself." Looking at the warships anchored at sea, Shang Luo sighed, "I wonder how well you can understand yourselves."

It was already 9pm. As a tourist attraction, other parts of the Temple of Poseidon were beginning to close, and this was the last remaining part.

The wind in the mountains seemed to have stagnated because of the strange silence, and only time was still flowing. However, such a short time did not seem to make Atlantis in the sea feel the crisis.

At 9:, the core area of ​​the entire scenic area entered a dormant state. However, the submarines remained stationary.

As if they were really going to fight Shangluo, the warships didn't seem to have any intention of moving again.

[Shangluo. You may have forgotten one thing. These warships can directly obtain supplies through the editor. They can wait here until they die of old age.]

"I don't care~~" Shangluo looked at the sea with interest, "The so-called placement means that I can go wherever I want and leave them where they are. Come, let's go fishing. This submarine is their own cage. I want to see how long they can be imprisoned here."

To some extent, this can also be considered as a kind of hawk training.

"But it seems that they still lack some decisive motivation."

It was not until half past ten that Shangluo finally made a decision - he picked up the phone and dialed directly to the moon.

"Senior Fu, how is the situation over there?"

"It went smoothly. The guy in the back seat was playing with a remote control car on the moon's surface through the glass cover."

After repelling the first wave of attacks from Atlantis, the test plan on the moon has been progressing in an orderly manner. Fu Yuanshan is responsible for the experiment of space navigation, while Han Xingzhi optimizes the remote control.

Everything was going smoothly. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to return today.

"Have any UFOs come to harass you these past two days?"

"Although we can see them occasionally, they don't seem to be coming for us. These UFOs have fixed patrol routes on the moon, and when our aircraft passes a certain altitude, they will suddenly activate and swarm over us."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with you. Wait eight hours, and then take off again. Let's see if there's a UFO to intercept you this time."

"Oh, by the way, even the patrolling UFOs have disappeared since tonight. Shangluo, do you have any clues? Did you cut off their support on Earth?"

"Hey~~" Shangluo smiled, "Then you just wait for good news and wait for tomorrow's great victory."

Shangluo has made a decision - until Atlantis opens the door to its own navigation technology, the king of Atlantis will be "placed" here until Shangluo orders the conch to be blown again.

If Atlantis chooses to fight, Shangluo will have plenty of time to waste. As planned before, Shangluo has the upper hand here. Because the drums were not beaten after the ceremony, it means that this ceremony was not what the Roman king expected.

This is a direct order from the King of Rome. "Okay, I give in."

As if knowing what would happen next, a strange number sent a message to Shangluo - although unfamiliar, this guy seemed to be a frequent visitor to the spiritual network. When the first hibiscus took root in Constantinople, he had already registered the first batch of accounts in Rome.

As the message was sent, the leading submarine with a ring-shaped logo opened its hatch.

An unknown man held up the hatch and ran out.

"But Your Majesty, the King of Rome, please come to the sea to have a meeting with me. I can't go ashore now."

"why?"

"You'll know when you come. I'm not alone."

After paddling the transport boat onto the submarine, Shangluo confirmed the face of the person who came - he didn't recognize him, but he seemed to have seen him somewhere.

"Are you Atlantis? You didn't look like this last time." Phaethon asked in confusion when he saw his face.

Phaethon had seen Atlantis in person. As demigods, they enjoyed a high status in Rome, but they also had heavy tasks. Apart from the annual routine recollections, she had a very vague impression of Atlantis.

But no matter how indifferent she was, she still knew what this person looked like. The guy in front of her was completely different from the Atlantis she knew. They were completely two different people.

"The previous Atlantis is dead."

"Dead? How did you die?"

"It's a long story. This is why I had to invite you all to come to the ship to talk. It's because only here am I Atlantis."

Atlantis is both a person's name and a country's name. Although it can also be called Atlas, it is called Atlantis to distinguish it from the Titan who carried the sky in mythology.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am not Atlantis. Without Atlantis, everyone is Atlantis. Now, this power has chosen me. When I die one day, or when I am no longer favored by the power of the sea god, I am afraid that a new Atlantis will be born."

"I see." Shang Luo nodded, "No wonder they changed the person. How did the previous one die?"

"I can't help but know this - judging from the news afterwards, it seems that there was a car accident."

"???" Shang Luo asked in surprise, "Why do you clearly inherit the power but don't even have such basic memories?"

"That's the crux of the matter. My Lord King of Rome, you must have heard that there is a rule about submarines: no twins are allowed to board the ship."

Shangluo nodded, he knew the principle.

These submarines need to disconnect from the sympathetic connection with the land on Mofa, so that these ships are abandoned by the earth. In this way, they know the location of [Poseidonia (the capital of Atlantis)] and register as [Ocean People] in it. They are regarded as beings different from land people and can establish a deep connection with the sea.

However, twins cannot do this. Because the sympathetic connection between twins cannot be cut off, twins cannot abandon each other. This means that as long as one of the twins stays on the ship, the entire ship will not be able to activate phlogiston stealth.

However, in rare cases, both twins attend the same school at the same time. This satisfies a higher level requirement:

When Poseidon divided his descendants, all five pairs of his descendants were twins. Only twins could inherit the ten princes of Atlantis and the ten demigods.

"So under the arrangement of the Oracle, my brother and I both served on a submarine of the Athenian Navy, and after the previous King of Atlantis died in a car accident, I became the new King of Atlantis. But after becoming the King of Atlantis, I realized that although the wisdom of the Sea God made me know that the original meaning of Germanic was border barbarians and the original meaning of Celtic was technical barbarians, this position was really very hard."

"for example?"

"For example, my feet can no longer step on land. Once I step on land, my memory, experience and power as a marine person in the sea will all be lost. I can only remember all of this when I return to the ocean."

"Ah," Shangluo covered his forehead, "So the previous King of Atlantis was hit and killed by a car when he came ashore, right?"

"Yes, and I didn't inherit any memory from it. Because the part about going ashore is blank in my memory. And from the clues, it seems that the former King of Atlantis wanted to go ashore only because he saw the woman he liked sitting on the shore singing, so he couldn't help but go ashore."

[Is it popular among sirens to kill people with big trucks these days?]

"In short," Atlantis said in a deep voice, "Now, I am the Atlantis of this era. Calling me the 'King of Atlantis' doesn't seem quite right. The ten princes of Atlantis are equal, commanding 10 different fleets stationed in 10 different oceans. As a king, my jurisdiction is in the Aegean Sea, because the capital [Poseidonia] is in the Aegean Sea."

His name is Atlas (Atlas means Patience), which means to bear the weight of the kingship.

"What about the other princes? Which seas are they in?"

"My twin brother Gadirus is the prince of the 'Sea of ​​the Romans', that is, the lord of the Mediterranean Sea outside the Aegean Sea, and its capital is Gibraltar."

"Wait a minute." Shang Luo thought for a while, "You are ranked first, and you command a small area like the Aegean Sea. Your twin brother is ranked second, and he commands the vast Mediterranean Sea. Doesn't that mean the territories will get bigger as time goes by? So what seas do the ninth and tenth command respectively?"

"The ninth prince, Azaes (Dryness), the Lord of the Dry Sea, commands the waterless lunar sea. The tenth prince, Diaprepes (Glorious), the Lord of the Glorious Sea, commands the back of the moon and other unreachable shining star seas."

【It was him who solved the case. 】

"Ah," Shangluo shook his head, "I say, if I didn't tie you up here today, would you tell me?"

"No." Atlantis replied, "But if you force me to say it, I will tell you everything as naturally as water. But why is your Excellency the King of Rome asking these questions?"

"Because your people - most likely Azais, the Lord of the Dry Sea, fought with our people on the moon."

"You want me to interfere? But the Ten Lords have their own missions. However, if it is your request, according to the ancient covenant, we must help you. I will convene a Poseidonian meeting of the Ten Lords. This requires the use of the horn in the temple."
