Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 185 King

Standing under the golden branch tree, Shang Luo looked at the way he came in: the journey seemed much shorter than he expected.You could even see the edge of the forest from here, and the car they had come in.

"Whoo~" Titus breathed a sigh of relief.Although he didn't know if his wages would be deducted after he went back because the expenses here were outrageous, but at least the tasks here were completed.

"Then, respected Your Excellency Shangluo." He pointed outside, "We can now return the same way."

"Why did you suddenly call me Your Excellency?"

"Well let Mr. Marcus tell you."

Marcus nodded slightly.Because Shangluo is a little shorter than him, he didn't want to point his nostrils at the big man: "That's the reason. When I came, I was notified by the Senate. They thought it would be great if you could carry the golden branch on your back." Yes. We can't draw hands all over the world, and although the difficulty of Golden Branch has never been high, it has received the most attention. You can see the impact of this, and this time even the wild hunting army can emerge. We don't know what will happen next time, so just don't break the branch and let you follow the traditional process to be crowned the Witch King of Nemi."

"So it was. Then I am"

"That's right, you are now one of the most honorable people in the empire. Because you are not even a senator, because a senator may not really have the title of a feudal lord. Your current status is actually the king of Rome."

"King? What king?"

"Wait a minute." He asked Titus first, "Did you tell him about Lake Nemi?"

"Most of them were mentioned, but the reason for the temple was not mentioned. Because it had nothing to do with the mission at the time."

"Okay." Marcus took a breath, "This goes back to an extremely long history. 570 BC, which is the Spring and Autumn Period of Cathay. The oldest history without a republic. It was the reign of the sixth Roman king, Servius Tullius, a virtuous king who fashioned a 'Century meeting'. And there was another crucial move during his reign: At that time, on Lake Nemi, on the outskirts of Rome, there were still many Latin tribes that had not yet joined the Roman Kingdom. And their common God, it is Diana."

"So, they joined the Roman Pantheon?"

"From the point of view of later generations, that was the period when the Roman Pantheon was formed-so you can see that although the Roman gods are completely the embodiment of the Greek gods, there are subtle differences between the two. We Romans can actually share In the Qing Dynasty, for example, Ares and Mars were both gods of war, but they had different positions on both sides. Rome worshiped the god of war far more than Greece. The reason for these differences was precisely the mutual identities of those tribes when they were absorbed into the pantheon. There are highs and lows.

"And Diana is extremely critical, because she is a god worshiped by almost all Latin tribes, so her status in the Pantheon is much higher than Artemis in Greece. For this reason, Servius Tullius He built a temple for Diana, and accepted the identity of the king of the forest, and became the god beside the goddess. Like other forest kings, he died by the sword of murder. So what you inherit is Servius Throne of Tullius."

"Huh? Is the forest king passed down like this? What about the back?"

"The latter is the most difficult part. It was his son-in-law Superbus who murdered him and became the king of the forest. He was also the seventh Roman king. The Roman monarchy ended when he reigned. As the last king, He was kicked out of the city of Rome and exiled to the wilderness. So you can probably understand it here: the one you hacked before is the "Shadow of Lake Nemi" that we recovered and topped, it is wandering The last king of Rome, Superbus, who was outside. You murdered him, so according to the rules, you are now the king of Rome. In addition, as a digression, the first Roman king was also murdered, and the curse of murder spread to the Roman emperor. Yes. Tsk, it’s all fate, fate.”

"Ah this."

He fell silent, and Marcus just looked at him.

"So, does the identity of the Roman king have any practical significance now?"

"You got the point. In fact, the Roman kingship has gone through a series of changes, and most of its divinity has flowed to the second Roman city known as 'Constantinople' in the east. So if you want to describe it specifically Your current kingship, then the most accurate term should be 'the king of the Romans'. To be honest, we don't know how to place this position now. It stands to reason that you should at least be appointed by a Roman high priest, but the Roman high priest The theocracy has been misappropriated by the Roman Patriarch again. Tsk tsk tsk tsk"

He tutted and shook his head, because he didn't know what to do.

"So, how are you discussing now?"

"We are waiting for the senate to meet." He shook his head. "You should know that Rome is divided into six parts, so no matter what we do, half of the people will generally oppose it. There will probably be a discussion in the senate Time will come to the conclusion, and it is not ruled out to arrange an interview with Your Majesty the Empress to finalize the matter. Let me ask first, do you have a marriage contract?"

"Uh no."

"Then have you considered a political marriage?"

"Huh??? What the hell?" Shang Luo was stunned.

"Assume, I am assuming. Because considering the overflow of divinity, unless you are murdered, the divinity of the Roman king is bound to you. And you may not know that the king of the forest is himself the side of the moon god God. The six generations of kings were enshrined in this capacity back then, so if you can accept our arrangement, that would be the best—ah, of course, it’s all modern now, isn’t it? We can’t force modern people to Marriage is for these reasons. What's more, Her Majesty's own wishes are also very important."

【Oh~~ You've made a lot of money~~ The queen is very cute, she even came to my oracle to ask for a lottery when she was a child.But I was still young at that time, and I don't remember what she begged for. 】

"This... so this is your final decision?"

"No, this is a possible solution, so I told you in advance that I hope you can make some mental preparations, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings when I suddenly tell you. After all, before we officially start cooperation, we have to put everything together. All possible outcomes are considered."

Shang Luo pressed his forehead: "You guys discuss it first, tell me the final result and I'll think about it, okay? Although this is for the peace of the world, it is a big blow to both Her Majesty the Queen and myself. "

"Of course we know this, so this is only the last plan, and you don't have to worry too much. Then there will be some routine work for the 'King of Rome'. The king is written in Latin as REX, and its original meaning is military commander. The command of the army. Therefore, when the inner guards are in action, I ask you to assist as much as possible. Sometimes I need you to go. How should I say it?"

"Need me to open a monster?"

"Yes, you can open a monster. For example, it's like the first knife for a priest to cut a prey. We may ask you to open a monster occasionally, because this is the power of the king. It won't be too much trouble , you just come over from the lighthouse and take a turn."
