Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1167 Six Soul Banner

"Who are you? Where is Daqin? Where is Daqin? My Daqin!"

"Wait a minute." Shang Luo said, "I say, Mr. Xu, calm down. Da Qin has been dead for more than two thousand years."

As he spoke, Shangluo had already reached into his pocket. He planned to strike first.

But for a moment, he saw Xu Fu's eyes. He was fierce, resolute, courageous, and unyielding. Those were the eyes of a patriot, and this decaying body contained a true heart.

So Shangluo rushed forward without hesitation in the form of a sword king - the more sincere he was, the more he would chop. He would not feel pity just because the other person's soul showed noble qualities.

Xu Fu's figure was unpredictable, and he used the Six Soul Banner to block the sword.

However, the Six Soul Banner is not a real weapon, it is just a wooden pole. It is not heavy enough to withstand real weapons, just like Manjushri Bodhisattva was tied up and soaked in water by the king's guards.

With just one sword strike, the weapon of the elderly Xu Fu was shattered and he fell back a few steps.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Fu begged for mercy, but Shangluo did not intend to give him any chance.

He would not give the other party a chance to surrender, he would at least knock the other party down and pierce his scapula with an iron chain before he would believe it. Anyone with hands and feet could not be believed.

"Wait a minute!" A figure suddenly flashed by and grabbed Shangluo's hand from behind.

Shangluo looked back and saw that it was Titus.

"Huh? You're not dead?"

"It's not that easy for me to die, even though he did beat me half to death. I can only be killed on public transportation, and now is not the time - I say, Lord Shangluo, there may be some misunderstanding between you and this old man, he is not the person you are looking for."

"Interesting? Didn't he take you in? Why are you speaking for him?"

"After I was taken in by him, I realized that you were all wrong. Because..." Before he could finish his words, he was sucked away by a flaming portal with a long dragging voice.

[Excuse me. Titus has just restored his connection and has been taken back by Cyberlania's Black Stone. Please wait for 5 minutes. He will come out after he finishes reading the bar. They are already rushing. You guys go ahead and he will be back soon.]

"Tsk." Since someone was guaranteeing him, Shang Luo put the sword away for the time being.

However, Fu Yuanshan, who was standing by, was not idle. He went up and grabbed Xu Fu's neck, blocking his meridians to prevent him from suddenly using his power. With his other hand, he supported Xu Fu's shoulders and helped him up.

"Cough, cough, cough." His meridians were blocked, and Xu Fu started to cough because of discomfort, but he did not struggle. He only took a look at the broken Six Soul Banner, and said nothing more, but looked at Shangluo:

"Mr. Shang, I still want to hear your confirmation. You are really not..."

"No." Shang Luo gave another direct answer, "You can call me Shang Jun, but my last name is Shang, not the Shang clan. Similarly, Liu Bang had two people under him, Han Xin and Han Wangxin. The former was the King of Qi with the surname Han who was humiliated; the latter was the grandson of King Xiang of Han, with the surname Ji and the clan Han, and was a descendant of the King of Han. They just have the same name, both called Xin."

"who are they?"

“???” Now it was Shangluo’s turn to have question marks in his head.

"This year, which year?"

"This year is the fourth year of Shaoping in the Ming Dynasty." "What is the emperor's surname?"

"The emperor's surname is Zhu."

"Surname Zhu?! Isn't Zhu the surname of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty? Has the Shang Dynasty been restored?"

"Wait, wait." Shang Luo waved his hand, "I think there is indeed something wrong between us. Senior Fu, please take this old man Xu Fu downstairs to rest. I will talk to him later. He seems to know nothing."

After taking Xu Fu away, Shangluo immediately reached out and picked up the split Six Soul Banner on the ground.

[You are the first one.]

"Just taking away the spoils. This can't be called Mao. I took it fair and square. But is this thing broken? I saw Titus flying out of it."

[It really flew out from inside.]

"What the hell, I thought, could he have been refined? Why is he still speaking for Xu Fu when he was obviously taken in?"

[You can rest assured about this. Titus is a professional, he will not care about personal grudges. In his training, any situation he encounters is part of the plot, he puts the solution to the current problem at the top of the priority list. As for the rest, it is just the arrangement of the plot.]

"You mean, he can't even empathize with himself?"

【For him, the body is just a "role". Reality is part of the puzzle, and the illusory Rome is the community he truly identifies with. Because reality can be illusory, but the relationships he builds are real. Everyone he knows and the empire he is loyal to do exist. 】

"How is this the opposite of common perception? Aren't the empire's the ones who are delusional usually the most?"

[If you live in the material world, then the spiritual world is of course illusory. But for magicians like Titus, their essence is spiritual and does not exist in reality. Similarly, the Roman Empire is of course real to them. The empire is made up of the relationships between people, and nothing is more real to him than this.]

Apollonia added: [I want to think about how to explain it so that you can understand it better - just like, when you play games, your strength in the game is fake, right? But the friends you make in the game are real. Because friendship has no entity, who says that friends you meet online can't become real friends? ]

"So he lives in a gaming guild, right?"

【For him, whose essence is already spiritual, the only thing that really exists is the story. Therefore, even if the Roman Empire that existed in the mortal world has perished, the story of the empire still maintains them.】

"But this time he really couldn't be found. I was almost ready to prepare a feast for him."

Although they were not very familiar with each other, they were still acquaintances after all. Shangluo had really prepared for him not to come back.

Although he was indeed not very familiar with him, Shangluo was still prepared to handle his funeral properly. This incident should at least serve as a reminder to the Romans that it is actually very easy to die.

Now it seems that the Roman's optimism was even more outrageous than he expected - he was indeed in danger, but he was still thinking about the process of the mission during the danger. He was not unaware that he might not be able to go back, but he was ready to go back and perform his duties.

"Tsk, I'm beginning to admire him."

"Then you can treat us to a health-preserving soup!"
