Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 724 Sage

"So, I'm more confused than this - how do you know Newton? Who is Newton?"

"Newton is, sage."

"I know, you call those simulated philosopher kings sages."

This is what Shangluo saw before in Alexandria. The "Simulated Philosopher King" is the foundation of the Muse Palace. Sages who have been resurrected from history make decisions on behalf of the wavering mortals.

"Of course, of course, those Greeks chose to let the sages make decisions for themselves. This was a wise choice. But it is enough for the sages to stay with them. We just want to consult the sages on some questions. We don't want the invisible sages to come. Guide our practice. As for where Newton came from - I don’t know. We don’t know much about intangible things, and we probably know even less than you do.”

"Does he really not know?" Shangluo asked Apollonia.

[Logically speaking, you shouldn’t not know. Although Newton is a bit special, his secret level has also been reached. 】

"Special? What's special about it?"

[Specially, Newton has a physical form - Sage Newton is resurrected on an automaton, so he serves in the Palace of Muses in a physical form. After he was recognized as a sage, Newton's history was fictionally added to the textbook. The Romans now generally believe that Newton was an ancient scholar who lived in Nimes, London, in the 17th century, rather than a technological barbarian from the Iron Age. 】

"Are you going to lie to your own people?"

[Elf. So you can see that Rome maintains a dynamic balance in every aspect. Within the empire, there was a balance of Greece and Rome. In the midst of earth and magic, Rome and the Elves balance. In the greatest sphere, in dominion over the whole world, Rome and Cathay coexisted. This is the fate of the heroic age - war will never end. Even with Cathay, the war was not a particularly distant thing. It was only after the modern era that all the confrontations stopped. 】

"Can I ask why?"

"Ah, I've felt this. So that part of the wilderness?"

[Because if human magic does not recognize it, then elven magic will recognize it. If human magic does not define it, then the elves will. The root of many problems in Rome is that Rome was an urban civilization. Even if we cut the empire into six parts, it would not be divided, because the people in the cities are basically similar. But on the other hand, Rome, as an urban civilization, lacked control over the wilderness from beginning to end. 】

[So this is why this room is leaking air everywhere, because there are too many patches. Newton's fourth law believes that the laws of nature are common in the world of light and the world. This inspired the lighthouse system to reversely cover the world with self-built laws. Such important laws must be recognized. 】

"You guys are so tired."

[On the other hand, this is a perfect match for Cathay. Because Cathay doesn't like to deal with barbarians - I don't mean all barbarians, I mean the unteachable ones. 】

"Then, then again." Shangluo asked a key question, "What can truly represent the Roman world? Is it your empire? It seems that you are divided into two parts, and no one has full power. Represents Rome. Another example is magic. You seem to share it with the elves?"

[Well, I think it may be such a way of life. The world is in eternal confrontation, Greek and Latin, earthly and spiritual, and the two ends of the World Island. This is our whole world. Maybe one day, the balance between Cathay and Rome will be out of balance, but that's a story for another day. But for now, the existence of Rome itself has saved Cathay the huge cost of governing the world. "Yeah." Shangluo nodded. This is true. Compared with the national strength, the imperial court's soldiers and horses are more than elite, and sometimes even too elite, but the overall number of troops is actually not large - although the total number is indeed about four million, but that is a few calculations. Support the Serbian army stationed on the border.

In terms of managing the entire world, the absolute number of this army is not large, and the military expenditures are not large. This allowed the court to devote resources to domestic reproduction.

For the Romans, by comparison, life itself was a battle. Alexander's dream was only a brief moment in life. After waking up from the dream, the Romans still had to re-invest in various fronts in the form of citizen soldiers.

[And. It was precisely because of the long wars that the Roman Empire was able to function. Magic itself is also bred from it. If you want to learn magic, you may notice an interesting thing - 'Bicycle' is also a kind of magic. 】

"Huh?" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that also a magician?"

[Because the principle of bicycles still belongs to the wilderness. Although it is generally understood that the principle of bicycles is based on some kind of gyroscopic effect. If I'm not mistaken, I remember that there was already a sci over there that denied the gyroscopic effect of bicycles in 2011. How the bicycle stays upright is still a matter that cannot be completely deciphered - but it does not prevent people from riding bicycles, let alone you. So, on that basis. 】

She thought for a while: [Actually, there is a great magician beside us. For example, Miss Karin. She can sword. 】

"Wait a minute. Does this count? Then Wen Yuan practices swordsmanship. Isn't he also a magician?"

[No, swordsmanship is different from swordsmanship. Swordsmanship can be understood, but swords are different. As a kind of magic, the embodiment of the sword symbol is the Great Spirit of the Spring that you see, which is also your Miss Karin. 】

"I told you she is not my Karin anymore. So is she that powerful?"

[Elves are very powerful. So in the final analysis-the Romans were not the inventors of magic, just the carriers of magic. Because magic is irrational and unpredictable, magic itself belongs to the wilderness. But even so, we can apply it. Such as swords, such as bicycles. 】

"..." Shangluo thought for a moment, "I was wondering if there is a bicycle elf."

[Yes, there really is. If I have a chance, I'll recommend it to you. In this way, you can also date the bicycle elf. 】

"I told you no! No, I'm really right, why should I explain to you?"

[So you don’t want to see Karin? 】

“Not really”

[Then you still want to meet her - how about I help you? Let me help you with some business! In this case, you only need to talk about personal matters when you see Karin. 】
