Chapter 9 Conversation and Listening
Solomon City, Campo de' Fiori.
"This is the largest flower distribution center in Solomon City, and exotic flowers from almost all countries can be found here." "In addition to this, there are many other goods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, drinks, or beautiful headwear, clothes, etc., which have now become a must-visit shopping place for Solomon women every day." β
"Really." Sheila couldn't help but admire the various storefronts that were bustling all over the street.
The fighting power of the girls in shopping is comparable to the patience of the men in playing games. By 7 p.m., they had browsed all the storefronts near the Flower Square, and they had carried large bags and small bags of dazzling things.
"What's that?" Sidlifa asked, looking at the huge circular building across the square.
"That's the Theater of Pompeii." "Pompey was a famous general in the ancient Solomon Republic at the end of the Tertiary Period, and was once hostile to Caesar. In order to win the hearts and minds of the Roman people, he built a huge theater there. β
"Because the Pompey family is in the hands of giants, this theater is also called the 'Theater of the Giants'."
"And what is Caesar's bloodline?" Sidlifa asked curiously.
"Dragons." This time it was Sheila who answered, "The blood of the Julius family is dragons. β
"That's right." Nora chimed in, "Caesar's nephew, Octavian, was also of dragon blood, and after Caesar's assassination, he suppressed the rebellion and eventually became Roman emperor. Since then, Augustus has become synonymous with the dragon god. β
"I remember that the Saxons were also of dragon blood." Eleanor said.
"Otherwise, how could the Holy Solomonic Emperor call himself Augustus?" Sheila said.
"It's a shame." Sidlifa muttered, "If Pompey had been able to defeat Caesar, then Augustus would not have been synonymous with the dragon god...... Maybe it's called 'the gods of giants'? Titan soldiers? β
"Rather than relying on the ancients to make a name for themselves in the Giant Bloodline, why not do it yourself, Sidlifa?" Medea joked, "If you can achieve feats like Caesar's, then the first thing that comes to mind when people mention the transcendents of the giant bloodline will not be Pompey, but you." β
"That's a good point." Sidlifa was a little excited, "Then what nickname am I going to have?" First of all, I don't want to call it 'Augustus', too many people call it this. β
"'Augustus' means the Holy One." Sheila said, "'Emperor' is the meaning that subsequent Emperor Solomon gave to it. In fact, it doesn't matter what your name is, as long as you do great deeds, even if you don't have a nickname, future generations will be proud of your name. β
"But I think it's too ordinary." "We like to give girls four-syllable names in the Northland, like 'Sidlifa,' 'Alvet,' 'Jerolure,' 'Haveyot,' and 'Orlune,' which don't sound distinctive at all. β
"Or you can try it and add the term 'physical characteristics'?" "My ancestor, Lord Otto, for example, was permanently reddened by the condensation of flame-related blood. Everyone called him 'Otto the Redhead'. Doesn't that sound much better than 'Otto'? β
"That makes sense, so am I called 'White-Haired Sidlifa'?" Sidlifa's whim.
"It's too long."
"Tongue twister."
"It's hard to remember."
The girls said that the nickname was inferior, and Sidley Law was a little frustrated: "Sure enough, is my name not good?" β
"Huh! How about this? She suddenly raised her head again, as if on a whim, "Blek_Konge, how about the 'White Emperor'?" β
"First of all, only the languages of the Solomonic and Cireus have the word 'emperor.'" Sheila, who is highly accomplished in aristocratic studies, analyzed, "The concept of 'emperor' in other peoples is a foreign product, so they basically use 'Caesar' to refer to 'emperor'." β
"So, if it's your northern language, 'Emperor of White' should be translated as 'Blek_Kejser' (Caesar of White). As for Konge, that means 'king', and does not refer to 'emperor'. β
"But 'White Caesar' is even stranger." Sidlifa complained, "Why do I need an ancient name from the end of the Tertiary as my honorific name? How do you pronounce the word 'emperor' of the Solomons? β
"Imperato, or Baseleus." "The former is Imperator, which in the Tertiary period means 'marshal' or 'supreme military commander,' and in the Quaternary it means 'emperor,' and the latter," says Sheila, "and the latter, ΞΞ±ΟιλΡΟΟ, is a more modern term meaning 'ruler.'" β
"Well, I still prefer the former." Sidley Faxing said, "Then my nickname will be 'Blek_Imperator' in the future, and the white Imperato!" White Emperor! Wha! β
The girls were speechless. You haven't started to make contributions yet, and you've already thought about the future emperor's honorific title, isn't it too early? And what the hell is this nondescript compound vocabulary of Northland mixed with Latin!
Wait a minute! Wasn't this topic pointless from the start? Why didn't we react and discuss it with her in a serious way just now?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Everyone suddenly felt extremely tired and powerless, especially Sheila, who only felt that the world was spinning for a while, as if her IQ had been pulled to the same level by Sidley Fara unconsciously, which was simply uncompromising bad news.

Solomon City, BI Surveillance Room.
The priests listened intently to the girls' conversations.
To be precise, from the moment these R4 targets entered Solomon City, Raphael called on more than 2,000 high-priority processes to monitor these R4 targets 24 hours a day. A large amount of low-level data is filtered out and then reviewed by the priests of the BI monitoring room.
When they were in the Licinius Tower, the surveillance data would be extremely weak, because the Licinius Mansion's network technology agreement with the Holy See did not allow Raphael to conduct too high a level of surveillanceβso the clergy would probably only know what floor they were on and what room they were in.
And when these people left the Licinius Building, the BI monitoring team immediately entered a state of emergency in three shifts. The words they spoke, the expressions on their faces, their body movements, etc., a huge amount of detailed information was collected by Raphael through the intelligent Internet of Things all over the public places, filtered and visualized, and transmitted back to the clergy, and each data report was cross-reviewed by three bishop-level clergymen.
In particular, verbal information, as the main form of human communication, more than 90% of these data reports are chattering conversations of girls, such as:
"Wow Heila, look at that big stupid bear sculpture so cute!"
"This headband goes well with your temperament, Peggy, do you want to buy it?"
"Craving ice cream...... But hold back, Nola! You're going to lose weight this summer! β
Unnutritious nonsense like this, pervading the lines of the report, is as tedious as the groundwork of a meaningless dialogue at the beginning of a B-movie movie.
However, the clergy were patient, pinching their noses and examining the past, especially the language records of some of the girls.
Because, although the level is also classified as R4, the threat index of each of the girls, its mean and variance are actually different.
