Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 669 Wool

"So, why do you dare to harvest any wool?" Shangluo was already shocked. Originally, this matter had something to do with the East, but now Rome is almost finished. If Rome dies in a bad way, it will be very troublesome to deal with the inheritance later.

"It's really bold to kidnap an angel, but it's really useful. I'm worried about one thing now." Victoria looked at Shangluo across the screen:

"The transmission of information will inevitably cause losses. The Roman emperor was a level 5 mysterious secret keeper, but such a huge secret could only be transmitted one-to-one. I used to wonder whether some key information was lost. , and now it is indeed the case. For example, the King of Rome is the second level 5 secret keeper."

"Didn't you know that before?"

"Here's the key. I know it's really important, otherwise I wouldn't have gone all the way to ask you to come over and solve the problem. But I didn't know it was so important! I don't know, because my father probably doesn't know either. My father doesn’t know, I’m afraid it’s because my grandfather, my grandfather’s grandfather, and my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather don’t know – I don’t know which year or month or which generation this piece of information was lost.”

"Then if you don't die, there will be ghosts! You will definitely die!"

"Mr. Shangluo, I want you to clarify one thing first - but without the foundation of mysticism, we would have perished long ago in 1453. The person who will replace us then will be the mushrooming of Europa. The coming technological barbarian countries will cause considerable trouble to your country. So although this is problematic, it is necessary."

"Okay. I thought you could discuss it with me, and the situation has improved. Now it seems that your problem is much bigger than you thought, right? In the end, there was more than one secret keeper, and these guys actually have no idea."

She shook her head: "Shangluo, as the King of Rome, you have the same decision-making power as me on this matter. I would like to ask your opinion. For example, what do you think about the shepherd Stephen?"

"That's a time bomb." Shangluo replied, "I don't want the archangels to guard Constantinople. So the power is in my hands, and I will seek reconciliation with the angels. Otherwise, someone will take care of Constantinople when I don't expect it. If the shepherds bring it in, then Constantinople will be blown up. Between 'orderly demolition' and 'blow everything to the sky', I choose the former."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. The archangel Gabriel was imprisoned for 1500 years. Tuesday, May 1453, 5, the day when the Turks from Asia Minor smashed the Theodosian wall with Urban cannon Become 'The Day the Angels Bleed'. Every year on May 29th we make sure the icon of Gabriel is covered in plaster, otherwise everyone present will witness the angel's wings bleeding - and much, much more. Things. I don’t know if Archangel Gabriel will forgive us after what we have experienced.”

"So you don't have any reliable method? Why do you have to use such a method with endless consequences?"

"Because as long as it is a lock, there must be a key. As long as it is a lock, there must be a possibility of being opened. We call it the bane, but any mystery will inevitably create taboos, and there will also be banes. Taboos are the price of using power, and bane It is a way to dispel power. As far as angels are concerned, there are many taboos, and the day the angels bled is just one of them. And Stephen the Shepherd is the key to unlocking the door. He is the bane for us. Bane No. 009, Stephen the Shepherd, A huge secret that affects the survival of the empire."

"You know this, how do you sleep?"

"If you know that such a secret is as thick as a phone book, you will naturally relax." "Okay." Shangluo touched his forehead, "How do you usually keep such a secret?"

"In addition to the secret keepers of the corresponding level, there are also full-time workers who are in charge. They only know the part they are responsible for, but do not know the whole thing. And we usually do cross-management - for example, this will make the gentleman The mystery of the physical explosion of Fort Tantino is usually kept in the hands of the Oracle or the Palace of Muses. Because if it is handed over to the hands of the Senate, they may use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for it one day. And vice versa. "

"Then what does 'I know' mean?"

Victoria shook her head: "You now have unfettered control over a huge mystery. You know the destiny of the Roman Empire, but you have not signed any agreement. Therefore, your situation is the same as the nature of the Roman King himself - in human history In early history, there was a being called "Witch King". They were both shamans and tribal leaders. They had status and authority close to that of gods. Later, with the development of history, very few countries still retain This kind of half-human, half-god monarch. And you are already one now."

As she spoke, she sighed: "I should have thought of it earlier. This is a very obvious reminder. Historically speaking, the King of Rome was the shaman and secular leader of the Roman region. When you become the King of Rome, of course you will become a shaman." king."

"Okay." Shangluo looked at him, "If I were the Witch King, I would try to have peace talks with Gabriel. Although there may indeed be problems, how do you know if the talks can be successful without asking. If both parties can If everyone takes a step back, it may not be possible to eliminate this root cause of trouble."

"No, this won't work." Victoria replied directly, "Even if we can talk about it, it won't work. Since there is no need to keep it a secret from you, I will just tell you - Hagia Sophia has another purpose, and it will become a Roman burial place. The burial place of the body. Because there was originally a church cemetery down there, and everyone in Constantinople could be buried there. Until we find a way to let the body enter the nutshell world, we still have to keep churches around the world as burial places. Bonelands. Constantinople was the largest of them all.”

"You can't move, right? Then you can carry it yourself?"

"Yeah." Victoria nodded, "In an ideal world, Rome would strip away all secular institutions, and we would become the preservers of the mystery. We will try to gradually dispel the mystery we left behind, but we will gradually implement the work Before, there were still some mysteries that could be used by Cathay. We will try our best to help - and Shangluo. Now that you are the king of Rome, you also have the power to decide on the affairs of this institution. Any instructions?"

"I just want to know now - how many level 5 secret keepers are there? Please investigate this clearly first. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. Another one may appear out of nowhere and set off a series of mines."
