Chapter 186: Orders
After explaining, Marcus took his leave with a black line. He greeted Titus and walked in the other direction of the forest, where the temple was located. Shang Luo remembered that if they had followed the original arrangement, they should have actually teleported directly from the temple. It's just because the other brocade guards can't do phlogistin stealth, and they can't dive at all, so they come by plane.
Marcus also went out of normal people with Shangluo at first - it seems that stealth is not a wonderful experience for them as well. But after knowing that the dragon tooth soldiers had run away, he could only hurry back to the oracle to report.
"Anyway, why did he go back to the oracle? Shouldn't you go back to Constantinople or Rome? Shanlo asked Titus.
"Because it's the oracle that manages the internal guard." Titus replied, "All the guards are under the authority of the oracle and are trained in the oracle. So I told you before that the apprentices had set out from Delphi to participate in the Golden Bough ceremony. The oracle is located in Delphi. β
"So the oracle is actually very high?"
[It's very high~ It's as high as a ceiling.] Apollonia's voice was raised.
Titus thought for a moment before replying, "The Roman Empire was actually made up of three empiresβthe empire of the Latins in Italy, the empire of the Greeks in Achaia, and the empire of Egypt. Therefore, the six Romes were also divided into primary and secondary orders, just as in the past when the four emperors ruled together. Specifically, it is the Oracle of Delphi, the Palace of the Muses of Alexandria, and the Senate of Constantinople, which was originally in Rome and then moved to Constantinople. Therefore, the oracle is an equal institution to the senate, and we are not actually responsible to the senate or the muse, but only to the orders of the oracle. β
Shang Luo immediately asked Apollonia: "So can you give orders to the internal guards?" That's very convenient. β
[Alas, you ask him yourself.] γ
Shang Luo asked Titus directly.
"Very interesting question. You want to say that if the gods ordered it directly, we wouldn't have obeyed it, right? To put it simply, no. Since ancient times, the spiritual leader of the Greek world has been the high priest of the Pythia of the oracle, who sits on a three-legged stool that spans a leyline fountain. She reached a state of delirium with the help of leylines, and her words represented the divine will of Apollo. β
The more Shang Luo listened, the more familiar he felt, and Apollonia seemed to have indeed let him do similar things. He remembered that when he was in Las Vegas, Apollonia passed the recipe to him in such an awkward way as the "pen fairy". Compared with natural gas, the pen fairy is quite normal, but the principle is the same. They all perform miracles in a state of "madness", which is common in both the East and the West.
For example, the word "forbidden" is a pictograph. Forbidden, the taboo of good luck and evil. It was originally intended to be a wine table for sacrificial wine, and the two "woods" on it represented the wine vessels. In ancient times, the ecstasy of wine was used to show the divine will, because "wine can channel the spirit". It was later extended to power.
"But if you can get the oracle directly from Pythia, then why do you still say that you don't obey the orders of the gods?"
For the infinity of the divine will cannot be directly understood by the finite consciousness of man. From an informationological point of view, divine will often does not contain useful information because it does not eliminate any uncertainty. For example, there is a famous prophecy that in 546 BC the kingdom of Lydia was going to war with the Persian Empire, and the king of Lydia came to ask for an oracle. Pythia replied, "A great empire will be destroyed." Then Lydia fought out, and Lydia perished. β
"It's pointless, whoever is finished can say that 'an empire' has been destroyed."
"There are even more outrageous. Or Persia, in 306 BC Athens went to ask how to resist the Persian army. Pythia replied: Wooden walls! Wooden walls! Wooden walls! The Athenians were confused, what was a wooden wall? What is Wooden Wall? Then the battle was carried out in a step-by-step manner, and the result was the decisive destruction of the Persian expeditionary fleet at the Battle of Salamis, which means that the ships of the Athenian navy in this battle would be as tightly connected as a wooden wall. β
"What is the reasoning? Then I built a wooden walled city on land and won, and it was also a wooden wall. β
"Tsk, so that's why Pythia's words don't contain information. Because it's often meaningless babbling, it depends on how people interpret it β how to interpret it is not a metaphysical issue, but a political one. So on the side of Pythia there will be a priest in black who will come to understand the profound and mysterious language of Apollo. And the priest in black is our general, the commander of all the Roman guards. He was also the one responsible for interpreting the oracles, and any oracle had to be interpreted and promulgated by him before it could be considered an oracle. The actions of the Roman Interior Guard were also carried out according to oracles, without which they would not have been dispatched. β
"I remember that my ex was given by a big truck"
"Alas," Titus shook his head, "I wonder why he has read countless history books and witnessed the oracles that reveal the future, but he can't even count the fact that he is going to be killed by a truck at the moment." It may also be because the current oracle has become extremely confusing. β
[Nonsense, give you a little black bean. I'll be able to tell if he'll be killed by a truck. But that nasty guy didn't trust me at all after the Akashya records became cloudy, and he deserved it. γ
"Sometimes I wonder if the oracle is just toilet paper, as others say, pull as much as you want. Maybe Helios is the true god, after all, his contract is real. β
γBig black beans!γ Big black beans! The safflower is all buckled! Buckle light! γ
Shang Luo could hear the sound of smashing the keyboard, and Apollonia was angry. He hurried out to play the round, after all, Titus was not a bad man, and it would not be good if he lost his job because of this. It's not a good thing to make Apollonia angry either.
"Ah, what, what about Karin?"
"Karin. They actually discussed the results. But they didn't tell me, they were going to tell you personally. β
Karin, wielding her sword, leaned wearily against the tree. There were several scars on her arms, which were left by the King of the Forest at the time. She didn't have to be hurt, but her anger drove her to rush forward, and the Forest King was pinned down in place as soon as possible. And after the Wild Hunts army rushed out, they were still fighting the Forest King. If it weren't for their hard work, they would probably not be the only ones injured this time.
Karin - Karin at home is kneeling on the grass next to her, using her skirt to make a bandage, and is bandaging her. I didn't even notice Shang Luo standing behind.
Shang Luo knew that Karin, who was holding the sword, was a spirit body, and it was useless to bandage it, but in fact, there was no need to bandage it. She didn't seem to mind, though, and just looked down.
