"Okay." Shang Luo sighed. Now he can't make a bigger commitment, because everything is unknown.

The Analects says that "words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful", and he is not the kind of person who boasts about Haikou before doing things, because if he can't do it, I'm afraid it will make the other party even more uncomfortable.

On the other hand, he is not the only one who represents. At this time, he had the expectations of two worlds: for the Ming Dynasty, if he could build a foundation as a celestial man, he would become one of the pillars of the imperial court, and he would be able to open up a new path; It was even more important for Rome. Because if Rome fails, the price they could pay will be extremely heavy. If it weren't for the fact that the ritual could only be attended by these people, Rome would have mobilized a large army to surround the entire Lake Nemi, instead of having only one artillery group point at it now.

So it's okay to say within the mission. But outside of the mission, he didn't have much room for decision-making.

"Still." He thought for a moment, "I can assure you: 'Mockingbird' is the bottom line, and nothing worse will happen again." No matter what, I won't let you disappear from this world, that's my promise. And if I do end up with the bottom line, I'll definitely find another way to get you back into this world. ”

I'm not sure what else can be done in the end. But both the Ming and the Romans seem to have a number of ways to regain cognitive abilities in a disembodied consciousness. Rome seems to be more convenient here, because there is a separate environment called "night", where many consciousnesses that should not be operating can be preserved. He planned to consult with Mr. Titus after dinner later.

After the meal, only Shang Luo and Titus were left in the dining room.

"Well, so that's Miss Karin's own idea?"

"Yes. So I would like to ask, is there such a bottom-line solution. A program that would preserve her consciousness no matter what happened. ”

"Tut-tut." Titus shook his head, "If there's such a plan, then I should upload myself first." ”

"So, can't you save her? Sure enough, having everything done is just a luxury. ”

"No, you misunderstood what I meant. When it comes to extravagant hopes, Miss Karin's current state is what Rome wants. She wasn't a human, she was a spirit, or elf. ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Strictly speaking, she's human, at least at heart. We believe that the human soul comes from the supreme light, far above the creators of this world. But not all of the light will take on the form of a human, and some of the wandering lights will get another chance to become a spirit like her. To put it another way, her ethnicity is a subspecies of humanity, and we all have the same essence. ”

"Is there any difference between us?"

"There is no difference in essence, and you can see that Miss Karin doesn't have any supernatural powers either. And because she was not really born, her perception of this material world will be more limited, because the world of the spirit is where he belongs. In terms of strength, she is no different from mortals. The transcendent beings among the elves are gods, and there is no difference between ordinary elves and ordinary people in terms of energy level, and we all have the same misfortune. Well, they have a little bit of it, which makes us envious. ”

"Longevity?"

"Longevity, longevity, this is a difficulty that the Romans can never get around. So you start by saying, can you upload her into the night - she doesn't have to upload at all, she's in the state after uploading. On the contrary, many people in Rome have tried their entire lives to fail to detach themselves from their bodies and become elves. As for what happened after that, you can tell her. Alexander welcomed her if she wanted to, and I remember the library was always looking for an administrator, and I could ask her to go there and help out and find a job that suited her. There, she can eat ice cream and truly experience her own world. ”

"Wait." Shang Luo suddenly thought:

"Could it be that the night in Rome has essentially entered another world?"

"That's right. Objectively speaking, it is the spiritual world, but because it is in principle night, we call it 'Alexander's Night'. The spiritual realm was far larger and more elusive than Alexander's, except that the Romans had only a handful of strongholds among them, covering our own rules by lighting lighthouses and creating lantern fields. ”

"Isn't Karin's state, cruising in the day?"

"Yes, just as we are in an abnormal state at night, the day is an abnormal state for her, like a squirrel in a diving suit at the bottom of the sea, or a sponge breathing in a fish tank on the shore. Inviting her to move to Alexandria was a better option for her. ”

"Does she know that herself?"

"That's the problem. She knows. By the time I was talking, I had already told her everything about Alexander. So she told you that she wanted to become a robin, and it wasn't a begging, but a deliberate choice. Perhaps this is what distinguishes us from the beast, which seeks advantage and avoids harm. Human beings, on the other hand, are often not profit-seeking and disadvantage-avoiding, and sometimes they are even less sensible than wild beasts. Perhaps, this is 'love', all the troubles of human beings come from a love word, which is the essence of human beings. Staying here would only hurt her, but she still couldn't let go of her family after all. ”

"I see"

"Yes. Her willingness to confide in you shows that she trusts you, and that's a good thing. If you have a chance, please tell her that Alexandria also has a lot of elves living there, and even I heard that there are elves resident in the palace of the muses to participate in our research. Also, the librarian's monthly salary is 510 drachmas, which is higher than even my salary. I was very painful to invite you to ice cream that day, so forget it when you are still young, and when you grow up, you will have to come back. ”

"Ah~~ Is that so, sorry, sorry, next time, next time, next time."

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed expensive. Because all the silver drachmas had already been issued in ancient Greece, like gold mines, digging a little less and not being able to be made casually. The drachma used now theoretically has to go to the ancient coin market to buy it. It's just that because the issuance of that year was very large, and the value of the drachma was not too high, the "exchange rate" was also relatively ideal. It's just that the feeling of "exchanging" with history is really a little subtle, and I don't know when the drachmas on the market will run out.
