Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"So, what you're saying is that he still has something to say?"

[What is his true passion, I have been thinking about this question. I wonder whether Alexander's desire for conquest can really be satisfied. Confined to his mortal form, he was still able to attack India. Now that he has gained an immortal body, he can do anything to spread his fame. Being an elf is quite dangerous. His motives are mysterious until you understand the source of his passion. But I think it's definitely not as simple as resurrecting his wife. 】

"I understand, then I'll just deal with him a little bit."

【Wise choice. Anyway, there would be no harm in agreeing to him. The location they wanted to inspect was outside the Inner Great Wall and within the Outer Great Wall. Although in the middle ground in terms of control, keeping an eye on them isn't a problem. Even if he does want to cooperate in an archaeological excavation, you will have nothing to lose. But for the time being, you'd better deal with him. 】

"Well, Mr. Alexander, I think this matter can be discussed. I will inform the relevant departments as soon as possible to study and judge the feasibility of this matter. Please wait for the good news."

"Apolonia." Alexander suddenly shouted, "Actually, there should be some festivals between us."

【ha? What holiday? ] Apollonia spoke from outside.

"Apollo's arrow killed Achilles."

[You should understand that I am the 'Apollo of our time', not the Apollo in Homer's epic. 】

"At that time, it was exactly like this moment. I am not Achilles, am I? So we can still settle this account."

[What do you mean by this! I don't owe you anything. 】

“I will plant you.”

【Eh??????】

Apollonia was suddenly stunned: [What did you say? 】

"I said, I have a way to make you truly born in the sun."

【real or fake? 】

"Since I want to get my wife back, I definitely can't just get my wife back. This is the solution I can provide - I can plant you."

【Shangluo! Promise him quickly! Please help him get his wife back! 】

"Why did you change your mind so quickly!"

【He can turn me into a human! Can make me human! Is there anything more important than this? 】 Apollonia, the small flame that had accumulated when she set off, was rekindled by Alexander after she was beaten back by Karin's straight punch.

"Calm down. Just believe what he says. What's the difference between this and telecom fraud? At least we have to let him produce evidence."

"Miss Apollonia, I guess you must want to know now whether my promise will come true - and why others have been unable to come up with a suitable plan for you, but I can."

[Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to know. Do you have evidence? 】

"Wait a moment." He looked at the elevator pointer pointing to the floor he was going to, then took a step forward and stood directly behind the elevator door.

Ding, the elevator door is open.

The scene from "The School of Athens" looms ahead. The zenith is completely inconsistent with the height of the floor, and is as high as a pantheon. The sages are communicating in the sunlight, just like the scene in the painting. Waiters with double horns were walking around carrying wine glasses.

"Want to try it?" At the elevator entrance, Alexander took the wine glass from the waiter's hand and took a sip first.

[Wait, can you drink? Are you really complete? 】

"Why should I lie to you? You will soon know that everything I do is for the purpose of purity. For this, I need many friends and create a favorable environment. In order to make my ideals become a reality , Thebes must be brought into the light, and that is what I came here for, even to destroy Rome, that is what must be done.”

【I】

"Are you still hesitating? Are you wondering whether the glass of wine in my hand is fake? Then would you like to let His Excellency the King of Rome have a drink and try it?"

【don't want. ] Apollonia immediately refused, [Don’t try to fish in troubled waters and let him eat food from a foreign land. I won't be fooled. 】

"Okay then." Alexander thought for a while, "How about you treat me to something to eat? King of Rome, do you have any food with you? I have to prove that my plan is really feasible, at least It’s feasible here.”

"Let me see if you can eat the steamed buns?"

Chapter 794 Magic

"Look, I ate it." Alexander ate the bun that Shangluo handed over. "If you want to see it, I can also use some magic that only humans can use to prove that I am indeed a complete human being. ”

"No need." Shangluo looked into his eyes, "You only need to answer me one question - what does that steamed bun taste like?"

"It's hard to say." He pondered for a moment, "Taste is an abstract perception. It's hard for me to describe it in words."

"Then say three words. Recall it and list three flavors for me. These three flavors are the first three flavors you feel after eating that steamed bun."

“Wheat, grapefruit and dirt.”

Three unrelated things made Shangluo think for a while:

"Yes. It's reliable." He answered.

【How do you say this? Can you tell? 】

"The credibility is at least 90%. This is the result given by the noble Tianyi. He can fake other things, even if he puts a stove in his belly, but there is no way to fake his feelings as a human being. Some vague feelings are just It’s certain. He has indeed succeeded. This shows that he probably has some methods.”

【but.】

"Excuse me." Alexander asked, "Can you two answer me now? Or do you have to wait for a while?"

"Let's wait a while." Shangluo replied, "We still have to discuss it."

"This is easy to handle." Alexander ordered to the rear, "Ptolemy! Seleucus!"

Two dragon tooth soldiers came over immediately to obey the order.

"Take the two of you to a secluded place, don't disturb us, and give you two some time to discuss."

On the rooftop, Shangluo looked at the city below. This is a carefully planned city with skyscrapers built like a checkerboard among vertical streets. While maintaining its original appearance, it also retains many of the characteristics of Amon Zeus. For example, the statue of Amon Zeus on the Hudson River is quite obvious from this perspective.

"Looking closely, there are actually a lot of flaws. There don't actually seem to be that many people here. There are only a lot of high-profile people working and living here in hot spots."

[Those should all be the result of transformation, but I didn’t notice it at first. It's impossible for this horn to grow out of thin air, it's probably impossible. The only possible result is that Alexander has already made his own arrangements and plans. 】

"Is this very important to you?"

[Once I am successfully born, I believe I can solve any problem you face. if only.】

"Just tell me whether you want it or not."

【Yes I do! Of course I want my own body. 】

"Then, consult Phaethon. You know you should listen to her opinion, right?"

The call was connected to Phaethon.

"Don't promise her so easily. You're spoiling her too much," Phaethon replied. "Let's not even talk about whether this statement is believable or not. Do you think it's worth it to let the entire Roman Empire be buried with her?"

We can have a better one.

"Apolonia, I know you may have some grievances against the empire. Including, both of us are a little dissatisfied with those Latins. But no matter how corrupt the empire is, it is still a symbol of order. I don't want to sing a high note, but now I just I want to quote the classic I learned - Zhou Xibochang has this holy virtue. There are three parts of the world, but there are two. It means that even if the Western Zhou Dynasty had full confidence, they were still hiding their capabilities and biding their time. Being involved in the war is just waiting for the opportunity of Yin Shang's decline in order to defeat Yin Shang at the lowest cost. This is called 'perfect virtue'. Open your eyes and see that the world is in chaos."

【.】

"Well, let me interrupt." Shangluo replied, "I think Apollonia's personal wishes should also be considered here. After all, she also said that as long as she can truly wake up, she can save the entire world."

"Did she really say that?"

[I] Apollonia was silent for a while, and suddenly became discouraged, [Okay! All right! All right! I know it's wrong, isn't it okay? I I was wrong. I just want to be able to come out on my own. I I really didn't think about it that much. Now I know that if so many people are really going to die because of my choices, then forget it. It's not impossible for me to stay here well and stay next to Shangluo. Well, actually I am quite satisfied with this home. 】

"Oh." Shangluo shook his head, "What are you thinking? Do you think I asked someone to make up a story to test you? Do you think I said so much just to make you admit your mistake and listen to me obediently? "

"Isn't it?" Phaethon asked doubtfully, "I do think you want to hit her."

"This is not a matter of knocking or not knocking. This person will never test his friends - I also think that problems such as the tram problem are meaningless. If anyone gives me such a problem, I will go and ask questions first. The only good thing about me is my sincerity, and I won’t impose on others things I don’t intend to do, let alone matters that are life-threatening.”

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the sugar coating has to be eaten and the cannonballs have to be fired back. We all want it - Miss Apollonia, I will help you with your body. If Alexander has any backhand, our soldiers will cover it up with the ground. . From the beginning, I didn’t intend to sacrifice anyone to help you do this. I want both you and the Roman Empire to survive.”

【.】

"What, what do you think?"

[Woo~~] Apollonia pretended, [I thought you were a heartless person. 】

"Tsk, I've told the truth, can't you also tell the truth? What do you want?"

After a brief silence, Apollonia burst into tears: [I really want to eat barbecue! I want to use my own mouth to eat barbecue in the sun! I want to eat greasy barbecue! The barbecue is really, really good! delicious! I want real barbecue! What you eat in the cave doesn’t count, I want to eat real food! 】

"Hey, that's right. If you have something to say, just say it, if you have an opinion, just raise it. There's nothing to hide. As long as it's not too much, I will help you do it."

"You are such a good person." Phaethon sighed on the other end of the phone, "Even if she wants to reach for the stars, would you really study the feasibility of reaching for the stars?"

"Actually, you can make requests."

"Me? I'm not a child anymore. If I want anything, I'll get it with my own hands. I'm not like some little kid."

[Luanluanluo, I am just a little kid, I am happy. 】

Chapter 795 Testing

Apollonia completely retreated into her safe zone. She had never felt so safe, never felt so comfortable. This invisible body now no longer looks like a cage, but instead looks like the best auditorium. If she ran out alone, she knew she would miss the most exciting place in the world.

[But, does it really not matter? 】

Although she was very happy, Apollonia still confirmed: [If you are reluctant, you can take it slow. I am not in a hurry now. 】

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I know. Oh, by the way, why don't you go play by yourself for a while? Shall I talk to Phaethon?"

[Then I'll turn off the lights and go take a nap~see you later~] Apollonia's sense of security has never been so fulfilling. Shangluo took out his cell phone and pressed the mute button himself.

"Good guy, you managed to put her in order. You are really awesome," Phaethon sighed, "I never thought she would be so obedient. By the way, are you really planning to cooperate with Alexander?" "

"If you don't try it, how will you know his quality? Maybe he really has some special skills."

"Don't let him trick you in turn. Perhaps your current behavior is what he expected."

"Ha." Shangluo laughed, "Do you know why I plan to agree?"

"I was just about to ask. Apollonia looked so happy just now, and it was hard for me to expose him. What on earth are you thinking about?"

"First of all, let me do a self-examination." Shangluo suppressed his voice, "I have indeed noticed that sometimes I don't pay enough attention to listen to everyone's voices. I will improve my attitude in the future."

"Well, okay." Phaethon was also overwhelmed by his sudden apology, and just said blankly, "It's good that you think so. Well, that's good."

"And, from a business perspective, you can only catch big fish by taking a long-term view. If I want to know what Alexander wants to do, I need to get more deeply involved in his plan."

"But what if?" Phaethon also came back to his senses, "What if you fall into it?"

She looked into Shangluo's eyes, but saw a rare light in Shangluo's eyes:

"It's not just Alexander who I want to test. Don't you think the old men won't let me die easily? Those old men always test me and give me fun. Today I will also test them and find something for them. Fun. I want to see if they can save me if I am trapped. I want to know what they want from me."

"Hey, hey! You're taking too much of a risk!"

"No, I'm calm. Because have you noticed, it seems unreasonable for the old men to be calm - Longlong is a secret agent, and Longlong is the secret agent on his first day? Of course not. The old men must know everything about this place, which means that They feel that the situation is completely under control. I just want to see where the limits of the old men's capabilities are and why they have such strong abilities."

“Isn’t this because they want to maintain their composure and not ask about worldly matters?”

"Yes. So I just want to ask why I can't handle worldly affairs. What's the reason? This game with Alexander is just one of many I've participated in. I always know that the person I'm actually playing against is in Yuxi Palace. I want to know what the old man's tactics are. He always torments me, so today I'll try his 'clouds in the blue sky, water in the bottle' trick."

"Wow." Phaethon exclaimed, "You are truly courageous. I wouldn't even dare to test my father, yet you dare to touch the tiger's butt. You are truly brave."

"Don't worry, I'm sure of myself. Don't forget, I also have something in my hand that even the old men can't understand - I eat both ends. I know I'm walking a tightrope, but do I have to take the last step? Go, I’m still sure.”

"Okay." Phaethon had nothing to say, "What you decided is really hard to shake. Just like this, will it hurt those old men?"

"Don't overestimate me." Shangluo replied, "My current decision may also be part of the old men's plan. After all, they all agreed when I set out. They didn't It's so easy to get hurt by me. It's just that they always like to keep me in the dark. Today, I will correct their habit of playing riddles - it's not the Jiajing year, and I'm not Yan Shifan. I don't. I know how to write Qingci. The old man always wants to try me, so today I want to try them.”

"Ah, I won't comment on this. You are very thoughtful. However, is there anything you need my help with?"

"Yes, come up here and help me get to know Alexander, who is at the same level as you."

"You should first understand that although he is now a demigod in nature, there are differences between demigods. Even when I was in my heyday, I was not on the same level as the Two-Horned King. Now it seems that he has completely dominated The divine power of Amon Zeus. And I am just guiding."

"Tsk, come up here and make a phone call with me."

5 minute later.

"So, this is the situation." Shangluo told Karin his plan.

"Okay! No problem! I'll do whatever you say. Then I'll hang up." Almost without thinking, Karin immediately agreed to Shangluo's request - she planned to cooperate with Shangluo to act in a play for Alexander looked. Sometimes, the line between onstage and offstage is not so clear.

After hanging up the phone, Phaethon shook his head.

"Sometimes, I'm really not as good as Karin."
