Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1066 Nasi Lemak

"I'm different from him." Phaethon walked around the bed in the room, sat on Shangluo's seat, and took a steamed dumpling from the steamer. "My stomach has experienced the test of survival in the wilderness. How can his weak city stomach compete with the time-tested iron stomach?"

After saying that, she looked at the plate and said, "Is it okay for me to eat one? Do you want to eat together?"

"It's okay. You are the hostess of this house. It's okay for you to eat. I am just acting as a waiter. How can I steal the guests' food?"

"You mean, I'm stealing his food?"

"Yes~~ That's the sweetest. Ah, a beautiful morning should start with such small interactions. Miss Phaethon, do you mind if I take a picture?"

"You... ah, there's really nothing I can do. Who said you have such a cute face, it's impossible to refuse. How do I take a picture?"

"Wait, wait." Yanqiu took out the mobile phone camera that had been prepared long ago, "Let's pose. I'll set it to shoot automatically, and then I'll stand by and serve the dishes."

Yanqiu looked back at the door: "Ah~ So exciting, too exciting. Hiss~ Hiss~"

"What on earth are you trying to excite? An immoral hostess and a passionate and handsome waiter? Oh my God, you have too many scripts in your mind. Why don't you let your hair down? A waiter dressed as a man gets caught by a woman in order to get close to the host, and then reverses the attack. Isn't that more exciting?"

"Ms. Phaethon, you are such a genius at imagining small plays! If Shangluo comes back and suddenly opens the door, ah, it will be even more exciting."

"Where is this?" Victoria covered her forehead. The space around her was square and narrow, so small that only one person could sit down. Shangluo could only stand close to her, trying to stand to the side.

“This is where no one can see you.”

"Huh? Why is there a roll of tissue next to it? Why is there alcohol? This is it! Is this the toilet?!"

"I thought you would be able to react at a glance."

"Because I've never been to a toilet like this. Is this the legendary public restroom?"

[It's normal. Victoria doesn't go out very often, and she doesn't use public facilities when she goes out. So this is her first time here.]

"This has nothing to do with my past experiences! No matter how you think about it, it could just be my first time in a men's restroom." Her voice got smaller and smaller, so small that it was almost inaudible. "Anyway, thank you. I'll take a breath here and then go back to my backpack."

"I'm sorry to let you breathe in the bathroom. Fortunately, the fragrance used by Lan Fang Club is pretty good. So, what did you hear? Was the angel angry?"

"I recall the more specific scene at that time. I was happily eating nasi lemak that day, and suddenly I heard the howling of an angel in Hagia Sophia. Angel. He."

Victoria raised her head: "Remember the story of the shepherd Stephen? More than a thousand years ago, when the Hagia Sophia was still under construction, Gabriel descended during the workers' lunch time. There was only an apprentice named Stephen present. The archangel asked Stephen to urge the workers to return to work, and he would wait there. As a result, Emperor Constantine directly ordered that the shepherd Stephen be sent to Anatolia to herd sheep. The archangel did not wait for Stephen to come back, so he had to keep his oath and stand in the Hagia Sophia waiting."

"Yes, I know that. I remember that you check every year to see if the portrait of Gabriel in Hagia Sophia sheds tears of blood." "But...but what I felt was not the revenge of an angel, but the desperate howl of being imprisoned for nearly 500 years. In the Hagia Sophia that I saw, which was surrounded by four high towers, the portrait of Archangel Gabriel was covered with lime! Gabriel was sealed behind the lime, and he...he was extremely angry! How could this happen? Even if you don't want him to come out, you shouldn't cover him with lime! What exactly is the purpose of those who do this?"

"Ah, Victoria. You can only ask me this question." Shang Luo sighed, "I know what you saw. What you saw was Constantinople from another era. The Hagia Sophia surrounded by four tall towers no longer belongs to Rome."

"What? You mean, Rome fell? What I saw was what Rome looked like after it fell?!"

"If it's that country, then it's not surprising to eat nasi lemak from Southeast Asia. People there love to eat this kind of spicy food mixed with spices."

"You mean, Constantinople has been occupied by a bunch of Anatolian country shepherds who love kebabs?!"

"I think, yes."

"But why did they paint Gabriel with lime?! I mean, if he was a pagan, he could just destroy the picture of Gabriel and set him free."

"That's because, in 1453, the Sultan of the 'Anatolian shepherd' did not believe in Christianity. Hagia Sophia became his temple - you can say that he did not want to destroy the artwork of the Roman Empire out of tolerance, or you can say that he completely ignored the existence of Rome. In short, he used the lowest-cost method to replace Christian religious decorations: it was more efficient to directly apply a layer of lime than to destroy it. By the way."

Shang Luo covered his forehead and said, "By the way, after it was completely covered with lime, the portrait of Gabriel underneath was also protected from natural damage, so it was properly sealed for four or five hundred years. What you saw was that Gabriel. I guess he was almost going crazy."

"How is this possible? Archangel Gabriel is guarding Saint Sophia and Rome. How could Rome be destroyed?"

"I guess this is the price he paid for allowing Rome to fall. Instead of being freed from his duties, he was locked away in a dark cell for 500 years. Amitabha, this is karma."

He looked at Victoria. "So, how did you get there?"

"I remember I was just sleeping in bed. When I woke up, I was already there. I was very hungry, so I went to a nearby store to eat."

"Where did you fall asleep?"

"In my chamber, the Blachenae, on the sixth of the seven hills of Rome."

"Apollonia, look it up and tell her."

[Victoria. Although it is hard for me to believe, you seem to be heading towards a terrible future. A future where Rome has become a ruin.]

"what?"

[In the world Shangluo pointed out, the Blachenai Palace where you lived had completely turned into ruins. You might have woken up in the ruins, waking up from Istanbul occupied by the Anatolian Shepherds. You seemed to have seen something extraordinary.]
