Chapter 248 Saber

Open the door, the cold sea breeze blows, carrying the salty smell of sea water.It was dawn in Alexandria, but it was not the sun or the moon that lit the night sky, but another sky.

Mechanical gears, levers, cycloidal wheels, oscillators, magnificent golden structures occupy the entire sky, replacing the sun, moon and all the stars.The huge gears rotate quietly like the laws of nature itself, with a faint natural sound.Everything was just as he had seen it in the sacred grove of Lake Nemi.

However, it is not the light of the giant structure itself that lights up all this, but the Lighthouse of Alexandria.The light of the lighthouse pointed directly at the sky, pointing to the crystal in the center of the magnificent giant structure, illuminating it into gold and illuminating the whole world.

Mechanical gears, levers, cycloidal wheels, oscillators, brass clockworks occupy the entire sky.In the center of the zenith, a crystal shines brilliantly like the sun.Unlike Apollonia's red crystal, that crystal is golden.

The clockwork was activated and the gears began to spin.At first, it was the small gears distributed on the edge of the clock structure, and then the large gears began to rotate visible to the naked eye.The gears meshed with each other, driving the levers, cycloidal wheels and oscillators to converge into a low roar.

"Give way! Make way!" Shang Luo hadn't stood at the door for three seconds before a whole team of inside guards ran out of the tower.They did not stop at Shangluo, but ran straight along the seawall towards the city.

"Huh?" Shang Luo froze for a moment, he saw the blood bar.Everyone has blood bars on their heads:
[Roman Guard - Hydra Crow Warrior (LV6)]

[Roman Guard - Hydra Lion Warrior (LV7)]

A whole bunch of names are on top of their heads, and there are even blood bars.At this point their names are all green.There is also a line of small characters attached to the inner guard's name: [Faction: Oracle]

Take a closer look, there are many such famous brands around.There are a lot of names around the lighthouse alone, some of them are very long"

【Senior Lighthouse Operator—Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus (Civilian)】

[Faction: Muse Palace]

Unlike those Roman guards, this lighthouse operator is not shown because he is not a combatant, but only white civilians are shown.There are also some people whose names are not displayed above their heads, but only their job titles, which seems to be optional.

In addition to the faction being the operator of [Muse Palace], you can also see other people from [Oracle] and [Senate], either wandering around the lighthouse or gathering a large group on the top of the lighthouse.Compared with last time, it is obviously much more lively here.

"Could it be." He looked up at the top of his head.

【Shangluo (LV:???)】

[Faction: Ming]

"Why do I even have blood bars?"

He reached out and touched it.His health bar and name tag are all hung above.When reaching out to touch those characters, golden light overflowed from them, and the pixels of the characters were also disturbed due to disturbance.When he took his hand back, the name tag returned to normal.

"Hey guy, come on"

[It seems that the lighthouse system has been fully activated]

"Lighthouse system, what exactly is it?"

【have no idea.The current lighthouse system is completely different from what I have seen.Do you know what the one in the sky is? 】

"Is it Helios?"

【Yes.Look again at the beam of light at the top of the lighthouse: the crystal that the beam reaches is glowing, but the crystal itself is dimmed.For that is the heart of Helios in your hand.Sure enough, Shen Wuxin would not die, and everything here seemed to be going on as usual.I try to adjust the access rights.]

Waited for two or three seconds.

[No, I was denied access.The lighthouse system is closed to me, they don't write my permissions into it.Tsk, think about it, after all, I didn't sign any contract with them. 】

"Is this still Alexander?"

[Look at the sea. 】

——The sea is the source of the sound that Shangluo heard just now.Rows of landing ships for troop transport were parked on the shore, and the double-headed eagle flag of the Roman Empire was hung on them.Legionnaires lined up in a phalanx are lining up.Although the armor has been replaced with an army green color that is convenient for concealment in battle, it still wears the iconic Roman shield and one-handed sword, but the main weapon has been replaced by a rifle.

Square as chocolate.Legionnaires from different landing ships are disembarking in an orderly manner, and dense character names are displayed above their heads, but they are too far away to see what is written clearly.These legionnaires seemed to be experiencing this kind of scene for the first time, and they were a little surprised by the blood on their heads, but quickly regained their discipline.

[It's a citizen soldier. 】

"Are they all... ordinary Roman citizens?"

[Yes, there are not so many nobles on the gold book.Emperor Victoria has already started mobilizing citizen soldiers to Alexandria, so a larger-scale transfer may be behind.]

"What is this for?"

[Move the capital.Just like when he moved his capital from Rome to Constantinople, Emperor Victoria might also be moving his capital.Maybe the Muse Palace chose to stand on the side of the emperor and the Senate, and the inner guards of the oracle were also here.Fortunately, at least half of them can agree with each other. 】

"Well, I said before that Emperor Victoria will wait for me here. Are you familiar with her?"

[Although I have met, I was still young at that time, so I don’t remember anything.I just remember that when I was a child, although it looked cute, it was also very serious.It feels completely different from the emperor over there, she always looks tense.It seems that because the national conditions are different, the education is also different.She is an emperor born in a crisis, and her sense of crisis is very strong. 】

"Well, if that's the case, you can ask him straight to the point. But why didn't anyone pick me up?"

Just as he was talking, a person with a golden exclamation mark on his head walked over not far away.He had seen this person before. It was the silhouette of a Roman soldier who had stood guard here before.

He went straight to Shangluo and gave him a military salute:
"Mr. Shangluo, welcome to the Third New Rome - Cybelenia. This is the No. 0 Cybele city developed by Alexander, blessed by the goddess Cybele, the god of fertility. Please follow I will go to the Great Library, where His Majesty the Emperor and Vice-Emperor are waiting for your arrival."

Smooth, very smooth.The communication is much smoother than before, and these silhouettes can't even be seen to be different at first glance, but there are some differences in the pupils.Under the light of the fully unfolded lighthouse, their own light seemed to come back again.
