Chapter 113: The Fate of the Romans
"Huh?"
"Yes, you heard it right. Died in a car accident. With Aegis in his hand, he should be able to fight the celestials of Aurora. Yet he died so casually - he could stand side by side with the gods on the Hero's Parade, and his presence would allow Mithras Helios to negotiate with him. However, he dies in a car accident, randomly like a stray cat in the city. Even he lived only 49 years, not enough to live to the average life expectancy of the Romans. We don't know how long the celestials will live, but we always feel that more than a dozen generations have passed here, but we can still see the familiar faces sent by you. It's really sad, the average life expectancy of civilians in Aurora is 96 years, right? ”
Yes, this is public data, and the average life expectancy of the people of Kinai is approaching the 100-year-old mark. Thanks to the help of the Immortal Root, almost everyone can maintain the innate Dao body within the age of 30. Even aging has been delayed, and even in the age of fifty or sixty, you can still maintain abundant energy, and the real aging will not come until you are 70 years old. After about 20 years of twilight years, he will die at the age of about 95. It's not uncommon to live over 100 years old.
It's hard to even feel this in Kinai. Because almost all people are like this, and they do not exceed the limits of human beings' own abilities, it is not so abrupt. However, these ordinary little daily routines are unattainable in another world empire. The health of the Roman aristocracy was always a concern, their constitution was never strengthened, and they always held overeating dinners. By the time birth, old age, sickness and death come to the door as scheduled, it is already too late.
"You should be able to eat turnips." Shang Luo replied to him. Although radish is expensive, it is not much to entertain guests to eat a few pieces.
"Can you help me ask?"
"Hmm." Shang Luo nodded and picked up his phone-
He picked it up and put it down again, just a few steps away, as if he didn't need to use his phone. The convenience of his mobile phone gave him some illusions, and for a moment it seemed that he had returned to the era when he could send messages from his phone at any time.
Walking to the next box, Shang Luo knocked on the door, and it was Wen Yuan who opened the door, also holding a cream snail in his hand.
"What? Want to eat? But you can't eat it, you're in Bigu. If you want to eat, wait for some radishes in the evening. ”
"I can hold on. But Lu Qianhu, next door wants to ask him if he can eat some radish? ”
"Another one? Gee. Lu Huaiyang shook his head, "It's useless." We'll entertain a little when everyone comes, but none of them are useful—ah, it's not like yours. You will have some flatulence when you eat radish, but it will be digested quickly. If they eat turnips, they will not digest what they will say when they eat them, and what they will be when they meet again tomorrow. So we just politely gave them a little bit to eat, which didn't actually work. ”
"It's kind of pathetic. He said that the leader of their previous generation had died in a car accident. ”
"Heh, don't say die in a car accident. His predecessor, named Pompey, came from the famous Pompey family. It's a very powerful master. Knowledgeable and elegant, the forty-something-year-old looks very promising, but one day he ate more than a bowl of noodles and lay down. It is said that during the rescue process, his eyes were wide all the time, and he was unwilling to die of such a common disease so hastily. ”
"Since they are proficient in alchemy, supernatural powers, and astrology, there is no way to prolong their lives?"
"Yes, yes—but Pandora's box brought them miracles, but also doomed death. They don't live long, and it doesn't matter how much they are capable or how long they live. Some people try to force their way through the limits of lifespan, but nothing comes of it. It is said that those who spit venom from their mouths are considered to explode, and those whose mouths are on fire. There are also those who have turned into stone statues, and some who have turned into mud even worse. A lump of cell mud that has no intelligence, but can always proliferate. ”
"So miserable?"
"No way, destiny cannot be violated. It is only when we have obtained the power of immortal root that we can postpone or even avoid the arrival of life. After ascending to the heavens, what he walked was the lifespan of the five decays of heaven and man, and there was no suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death. So, give them some turnips and give them a little hope. Save them from thinking that we don't give them a way to live—the way to live has already been given, and who makes them unable to grasp it themselves. ”
"Okay, then I'll just reply to him. Oh yes, Lu Qianhu, I can't eat for a while anyway, I'll go back directly. ”
"Remember you can't eat at night, you'll have to keep going hungry. Bigu will be almost there tomorrow, so if you can't drink some glucose. With that, he dropped a box of glucose.
"Thank you." After accepting the glucose, Shang Luo knew that tonight was probably going to be a difficult night.
Before leaving, Lu Huaiyang also instructed: "You have to ask for leave tomorrow afternoon." His Majesty the Son of Heaven sent a letter just now, you are going to open the treasure chest of the golden branch, right? Good thing, you all go. The Roman side will send you the diving equipment tomorrow at noon, so you can try it at noon. When you come, call that Han Xingzhi from your team by the way, he is very useful. ”
After saying that, Shang Luo withdrew—the creamy smell in this box was really unbearable. The thought of only being able to eat glucose until tomorrow had already begun to dazzle him in advance. I'm afraid I'll have to hold back for a while just to sleep tonight.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Shang Luo, who was hungry in bed, finally fell asleep.
"Good night. Apollonia "He muttered a word.
[Whew~~] The sound of gentle breathing came, and Apollonia had already fallen asleep.
"Buzz~"
"Buzz!"
"Who!"
[Who! 】
There was a vibration next to the bed, and the two woke up almost at the same time - it was the cell phone that vibrate. The phone's panel is lit up and is glowing upwards.
[Who! Don't let people sleep at night! It's only 2 o'clock. Look at who it is. 】
"Ah, I'm so sleepy, so hungry" Shang Luo squinted his eyes and turned on his phone.
He blinked, afraid he had seen it wrong.
"Yes, the Emperor."
[These two grandparents and grandchildren are endless! Do you like a deadly serial call in the middle of the night so much? 】
"Forget it. Their old Zhu family is like this, Hong Wunian is like this, and Daozu is like this when he was young. One by one, he doesn't sleep and doesn't let others sleep, and he is as energetic as if he has beaten chicken blood. I'll see what he's up to, it should be important. ”
Opening the feixin, he glanced at it.
"Huh??" The spirit came three points, which is good news.
Apollonia also caught a glimpse:
[He concentrated the radish 5 times to 15% abundance?] So fast? He hasn't slept for the past two days, so he's alchemizing there! I advise you to hurry up, if you don't go, I'm afraid he will die suddenly in Yuxi Palace. 】
"He asked me to check it out, and I'm definitely going to have to go. Sure enough, he is a Dan Dao genius certified by Dao Ancestor, and he is indeed professional. Shang Luo punched his head twice to sober himself up, "Let's go, go early, maybe you can sleep for a while." I can't sleep anymore in class today. ”
Today's other updates are around noon (i.e. before 12 o'clock)
