Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1114: Immortal Victoria
"Ah~ It feels so good." In the lounge, Victoria temporarily released her transformation, sat on the armchair and fanned herself with her hands. Although she was made of stone, she was not made of iron. Of course she would still feel tired, but she could bear it. Now that the matter was finally completed, she could relax.

"Boss, please drink." Shangluo opened a can of Coke and held it with both hands.

"Boss, is this wind speed okay?" Phaethon was fanning her with a fan.

"Ah~~ Sure, sure. Eh? Phaethon, you can actually fan me, too?"

"It's really amazing. This is something I can't do. I give in."

"It's worth it that I drove a 5-speed transmission to make you say that."

"My goodness! Are you so dilated?" Shangluo touched her forehead, "You're almost getting red and warm! My hands are starting to get hot."

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just too excited. Great, there's actually a chance to have a meeting. I love meetings the most."

"Then why don't you go take a rest?"

"Wait until I finish my Coke."

She stood up, put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back and drank the entire can of Coke, forcing herself to cool down:
"Ah, it feels so good. I'm going back, open your pockets."

"Boss, please come in." Shangluo opened his bag, let Victoria somersault in, and went back to rest.

【She fell asleep. So fast.】

"She's working too hard, isn't she?" Phaethon fanned himself with a fan. "She really loves you deeply."

[Not really. She was just very excited to show her face in front of us. It wasn't a big burden for her, she was just too excited and got herself red.]

"Sure enough, she is still like this."

"Oh my." Shang Luo shook his head. "I remember she wasn't like this when I first met her."

"That was when we first met, and she was still a little reserved. Victoria was like this when she was little, she liked being around crowds and grandiose scenes. She was really suffocated because she had to take a break due to her illness. And she was always in her comfort zone, reciting the same old routines. You've opened up a whole new way for her to play, and with good friends like us watching, she's really excited."

[Her professionalism is comparable to that of Miss Yanqiu. When she is good, she is really good.]

"By the way, if she is not here, can Yanqiu do this job?" Shangluo asked.

[You are addicted to laziness, right? ]

"The problem is that it's too painful! The flash is burning on your face for an hour, and the fish will be roasted into salted fish."

"I don't think that's going to work." Phaethon answered. "Yanqiu can indeed play many roles, but dramatic performances often don't need to be realistic. Even if she plays a king, she can only play a stereotypical king. But here it's not just about acting, it's also about acting with other people of similar identities, which requires experience. In other words, there is often no script, and it relies on improvisation. From the perspective of Greek drama, this kind of improvisation requires a lot of accumulated material - our Miss Yanqiu may not have been a real emperor, she has no accumulation."

"Oh my, that's a shame."

"You don't want her to go back, do you?"

"It would be nice if she could always help me, but it's a pity that she is just playing herself and making a cameo appearance. It looks like I have to do this job myself occasionally."

"Don't act like you're stressed. This is a display of power. Many people are addicted to meetings. Our Miss Victoria is a serious meeting addict. Some people will hold many meetings for no apparent reason in order to satisfy their addiction and desire for control. Victoria doesn't need that. She has endless meetings to experience at any time. But it's her first time to come to the tribute system for a meeting. No wonder she's so excited." "But I can gain a sense of identity in many other places. I don't need to gain a sense of identity through meetings."

"Ah, that's true." Phaethon shook his head. "When you think about it this way, Victoria is even more pathetic. This child can't do anything, so she can only fill the void in her life by attending meetings. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

"Let me check the schedule later."

"You're not planning to wake her up, are you? You're going to let her charge for two hours and let her work for a whole day?"

"Not really. The following is a serious matter. I am wondering when to put her on mute mode. Because the following meeting involves confidential information, she cannot know about it."

"Then how can I know?" Phaethon asked.

"Of course you can. You are one of us. You are the disciple of the emperor, the grand-disciple of the Taoist master, and a legitimate alchemist of the Jinyiwei. Your confidentiality level is more than enough. Victoria is not. She is a guest."

"Tsk, so you also know that she is a guest. Is it normal to order a guest around like this?"

[This guy is really like that sometimes. He even said Zhu Ling is scary. Zhu Ling is scary only because he can command animals, but this guy is really good at commanding people. He is really good at using his advantages to persuade others. To persuade old men, he uses the image of a "relative's child", to persuade girls, he uses the image of a "natural man", and to persuade Xiao Han and the others, he becomes a "good brother". You don't do anything, and others will do things for you.]

"Am I doing nothing? What I do is something that others can't do, so I have to stay energetic, okay? You see, if they want to catch Xu Fu later, I have to go -"

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang.

"Shangluo." Lu Huaiyang called, "There's an emergency."

"Doctor Li wants to see me now?"

"No, but Governor Li thinks that this matter needs to be asked to you. According to intelligence, the Edo side has known our movements in advance, and they have sent a fleet to approach here. After all, the movement of an army of more than 100,000 is not that easy to stop. We are advancing while beating drums and gongs. So, Governor Li asks you what to do."

"They chose to send a fleet instead of a dialogue, right?"

"We cannot rule out the possibility that they are sending a fleet to engage in maritime dialogue with us."

"Does this conform to Zhou rituals?" Shangluo asked.

"It doesn't conform to the Zhou rituals. When the king's army goes out to war, the princes should welcome him outside the city instead of bringing troops with them. He brought troops with him, so no matter what, it doesn't conform to the Zhou rituals."

"Then do it."

"So straightforward?" Lu Huaiyang asked, "Are you sure? If you are sure, then go ahead. You decide on this matter - I will confirm it for the first time, and after that, I will not confirm your orders and will execute them directly."

"I'm sure, just blow them up into the sky."

"Okay." Lu Huaiyang replied, "Then I'll ask Governor Li to prepare."

"No need." Shang Luo shook his head and said, "There's no need to mobilize the fleet yet. I'll let General Fu Yuanshan go alone. He can send the entire fleet into the sky by himself. The war between extraordinary people requires a different way of fighting."
