Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 132 Return like lightning
[Caesar, your luck is good. ] Apollonia, who had been silent since arriving in Alexandria, said the same thing as Titus.

"Caesar is here, isn't it normal?"

【I didn't want to disturb your relaxing time.But Caesar is not often seen.Have you heard the legend that a camera can take pictures of souls? 】

"Is that a rumor? Is it true?"

[Half to half.The camera can indeed photograph something, but it is not the soul, it is just a silhouette.It is the collection of all experiences of a person at this moment, and condensing them on film is such a silhouette.Shooting this kind of silhouette will not have any impact on people, just like when taking pictures of you, no matter how many times you print it, it will not make you lose your soul. 】

"Why do I feel my ears are a little itchy? Are you scolding me in a different way?"

[No, I am describing a psychological phenomenon objectively.It's just that some people think that taking pictures will make the soul fade or something.The camera doesn't actually take in, it just 'receives' the light.A person's life is full of many touching and bright moments, from which light will 'flow' out.The overflow of light is one of the most basic magical phenomena in this world, and the camera can record it. 】

"Then what is Caesar's problem?"

[The body cannot be copied, but the light that overflows can.But Caesar’s problem is—his silhouette, at any time, has one and only one. 】

"Huh? Then he is the main body?"

[His form is a silhouette, there is no doubt about it.If you observe carefully, you will find that there are flames beating in the pupils of these silhouettes from the moment you arrive in Alexandria.That is the overflowing light, the dancing light drives the silhouette in the form of phlogiston.Because there is no shadow of the soul, the light is directly exposed. 】

"That Caesar"

【Yes.The Romans confirmed that Caesar's eyes were indeed burning with fire, that is, they were as big as billions of dots.Caesar's negatives had no way to be developed from the beginning, and now they don't even know where the negatives are.I don't know when Caesar's figure appeared at night all over Rome, and he held a triumphal ceremony. 】

"This can be regarded as a reenactment of some kind of history? After all, Caesar did hold triumphal ceremonies all over Rome. Is this still in the category of experience?"

[Yes, it was like this at first.Until a certain time, Caesar appeared in New Antioch, and started the triumphant ceremony with the Empire State Building as a tower. 】

"."

Shangluo realized the problem: Caesar could not have been to New Antioch anyway.New Antioch is in the New World, a metropolis built in Manhattan.Originally called New York, it was renamed New Antioch after the technological barbarians were expelled.It is impossible for Caesar to have been there anyway, let alone know what the Empire State Building was completed less than 30 years ago.

"Is this good luck, or bad?"

[I also don't know that although he was not crowned, Caesar is the monarch of Rome, which is beyond doubt.People also welcomed Caesar's arrival like a festival.Constantinople is investigating, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for them to use Caesar as the object of the "hero tour" to crusade.Because Caesar always appears in full view, is the crusade against Caesar at this time a replica of the one person in the Senate? 】

"That's true. Then leave it like this?"

【It’s been years since I left it like this.That's what the saying goes - as long as he can run, don't touch him.There are many strange things in the night, not many.Instead of worrying, it's better to look at it as a festival.I remember the triumph here in Alexander was kind of funny. 】

The majestic Roman horn blew, and the legionnaires walked across the street in unison, and the flower petals floated down from the ignorance and landed on the street.The students who had finished class crowded the side of the road to watch, and the old slices also saluted like Caesar's subjects.

Gaius Julius Caesar, standing on a chariot.Queen Cleopatra of the Ptolemaic dynasty stands by his side.Just like the god king and his queen, the golden god drove the golden chariot through his divine kingdom.

This is the scene when Caesar came to Alexandria after defeating the Ptolemaic army.As emperor of the Romans, Caesar waved to the students on the side of the road.Though spanning millennia, it's the Romans' answer to the Romans, and there's nothing surprising about it.

The strangest thing here is Shangluo and his party.They also stood by the side of the road, watching Caesar's chariot gradually approaching.

An array of French horns walked in front of them, followed by legionnaires walking in unison.The golden Caesar passed by slowly—but although the chariot did not stop, Caesar's eyes looked over.

The raging phlogiston fire moved in his eyes, and his light was so full that it almost filled the pupils of his eyes.

It seems to notice that they are from the East.While smiling, Caesar twisted a corner of his "toga robe" made of purple silk with his hands, and nodded to them.

"Sure enough. He is observing. He has his own consciousness."

Just from the moment their eyes meet, Shang Luo can be sure that what is dancing in that body is the real soul, or at least it is not far from the real soul.

"Legionaries, more than before." Titus muttered words only he could hear.

But it didn't bother Apollonia, she amplified the words to Shangluo's ears.

"Is Caesar changing?"

【No significant change.But there are some subtle changes every time. For example, Cleopatra only appeared for the second time. When she first came to Alexandria, there was only Caesar, and there were no legionnaires and petals.Even, you take a look at the sea. 】

Shangluo looked towards the direction of the sea, where there was a faint column of smoke rising.

"There are also at sea?"

【Yes.Before Caesar came to Alexandria, he fought against the Ptolemaic army.Now that Caesar is appearing more and more complete, maybe the next time he appears in Alexandria, the incident will probably become more complete-the ballista of Caesar's army hit the library of Alexandria, and the fire crossbow burned 60 books. Not a good sign.The sages of the Muse Palace should respond, at least they should call the fire trucks first to be prepared.If he really fought again at sea, Muse Palace might not let him triumph here so easily. 】

Caesar's queue got farther and farther away, disappearing at the end of the road.Many students followed, turned the corner, and the sound of the French horn gradually faded away.

"Yeah..." Shang Luo looked down, and the ice cream was also stained with some clean flower petals that had fallen from the sky and hadn't touched the ground.It is a bright red rose petal, and the rose is a symbol of the king.

Scooping up the ice cream with a spoon, he ate it into his mouth along with the petals.

"It's a real flower petal, with the same taste and aroma. It seems that it's not far away. But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing for Rome? I think the Romans here hope that he will return like lightning."
