Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1161 Additional Information

"This is the situation." Titus conveyed Shang Luo's order, "Shang Tianjun asked us to go to the city called Qianye to mark the target warship and guide the royal army's firepower delivery."

"No, no, no! This is really not possible! I will die if I do this! Xu Fu's killer will kill me!"

"Don't you realize that you have violated Xu Fu's orders? Hasn't the assassin who supervised you been eliminated?"

"But I still don't dare to go. I've gotten used to it after so many years. Even if you told me that I could be free now, I would..."

"Shut up!" Titus reached into his cloak and pulled out a golden cup. "Do you know what this is?"

"."

"This is the river Lethe, the water of the river of forgetfulness. If you drink a small cup of this, I will cleanse your soul into a white soul, erasing all traces of your existence in the world. Your past, your present, and your future will all become blank. And your consciousness will fall into eternal nothingness, wandering alone in the abyss of chaos. If you disobey my command, this cup of water will appear in your stomach in one second. I will give you X seconds to consider. X, IX, VIII"

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Extreme fear filled his heart.

"Don't cry! Crying also counts as time! VII!"

"I'll lead the way! I'll lead the way! I'll lead the way!"

"Very good." Titus put away the golden cup.

——"So he really has that thing?" Shang Luo asked Apollonia across the channel, "Does he really have the water of the Forgotten River?"

[Yes and no. The Lethe is the fifth of the four Styx rivers - it both exists and does not exist. It does not exist because it does not exist in official history such as "The Odyssey". It exists because it does function as a river and appears in later poems. The water of the Lethe was also collected through the hero's pilgrimage.]

"Then drink it and it will."

[Yes, he is right. Those things will really happen after drinking it. But the "eternal wandering" at the end is his personal artistic processing. The water of the River of Oblivion can indeed cleanse the soul into a blank state, but no one knows how the person being executed will feel. After all, no one can feel "nothingness". ]

"Wait a minute." Shang Luo thought for a moment, "So the function of the water of the Forgotten River is to replace 'something' with 'nothing', and to use 'nothing' to wash out everything in the soul?"

[That's a good explanation. I didn't expect such a fitting statement. I'll give you a reward.]

"You also gave me a reward of 'Nothing', right? Forget it, all your things are mine, what's the point of asking for your reward?"

[Hey, I still have the oracle's belongings. ]

“That’s the rent.”

【Woo~~How could you do this.】

“You can check out at any time if you are not satisfied.”

[Tsk, you know I can't leave now. Only you can hear me. I can only communicate with others through you.]

"If that's the case, then the Forgotten Water." [Do you want that stuff too? You are a dangerous item! If you spill that stuff anywhere, it will cause irreversible consequences, so don't be so timid! This is really unnecessary!]

"What are you thinking? Why would I put this thing in my arms? I have enough magic weapons. This thing is difficult to control and dangerous. I don't want it anyway. What I mean is, can you give some to the Jinyiwei? I think this thing is more suitable for the Jinyiwei."

[You are not giving yourself the hair, but giving the hair to your own sphere of influence. What is the difference?]

"The difference is that I can use it without having to take the risk of storing this dangerous item. When I need it, I can just ask someone to bring it to me."

[Well, it's not a particularly precious thing. You can always find it if you go to collect it. But this thing is really dangerous. It is a magic weapon that only fearless phlogiston submariners can keep properly.]

"Aren't they afraid of washing themselves with this?"

[Don't be afraid. Because they, including all the Romans' souls, have been extracted from the Great Styx. And for them, even if they are cleansed by mistake, they have a backup in Cyberlania - that's why I said you shouldn't take this thing away casually. If the Jinyiwei overturns it, it will be really dangerous. ]

"That's okay. When you need it, can't you just call a phlogiston submarine? You guys keep it normally and use it when you need it."

[You're going even further! Are you unwilling to keep it for safekeeping? ]

"Didn't you say not to let me get my hands on it? Then when I need it, I'll naturally call someone over - Victoria has no objection anyway, right?"

"Yes, I have no objection." Victoria replied, "If you want to use it, then use it. Although I don't know how the phlogiston submersibles work, you can use them at will. Anyway, you can use them. Anyway, these things can't be brought into Cyberlania, and they will have to be dealt with if they are kept. Now dealing with these dangerous goods has become an extremely costly expense, so use them all up as soon as you can."

[If Victoria has no objection, then neither do I. But what do you want to do with it?]

"The water of Wangchuan can wash the soul into a blank, which means it will interrupt the continuity, right? It will be the same as Mengpo soup, which will bring true death. Xu Fu has lived for so long that he cannot be killed by ordinary methods. If I want to execute Xu Fu, I have to prepare the potion in advance."

[So you are thinking about this]

"Because the characteristics Xu Fu has shown so far are too dangerous. He can actually run a country on his own. His mobilization capacity is incredibly strong. I'm waiting for information from the front. I want to see if the 'super crossbow-class battleship' he mentioned is what I think it is. If it is..."

【You just destroy it? 】

"If it is, then his importance has increased. This means that he can see things that belong to 'my side'. If that is true, then I hope he can reproduce more things more accurately, such as Cyclonus falling from the sky for me."

[What is that? A more powerful doomsday weapon?]

"No, it's a smaller doomsday weapon."

【What's the use of the small one? 】

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Shang Luo shook his head. "You don't know, the smaller ones are more useful. The 'Crazy Storm' I want is a spiritual weapon that can be used without magic - controlling spiritual weapons doesn't require magic. I wonder if you have a demon god in Chernobyl who assists in controlled nuclear fission? In fact, nuclear fission is controllable and does not require magic to control it. The same is true for Tiandi Datong. This thing is too powerful and cannot be controlled at all."
