"Is she saying that she doesn't like my father?"

"Hmm." Shang Luo nodded.

"Think about it. Although it helped her ascend to the gods, this is tantamount to sending her to the god list and becoming a yin god. No matter how you think about it, you're a bad person. ”

"I kind of know why he is like this." Shang Luo's perspective is clearer - Helios's divinity and humanity are always at war, and only rarely will he think in terms of both divinity and humanity. Aside from carrying the same promises and cause and effect, it's hard to see a person making a decision again.

"Still." Shang Luo still didn't understand something, "Is there anything wrong with the title of Pythia?" Why didn't Apollonia want to mention it? ”

"Is there one?" Phaethon touched his head, "She wasn't like this before, she thought Pythia was very powerful from the beginning, super powerful, there is no reason not to say it." Is that only for you? ”

Phaethon thought for a moment: "Ah, I know why. In fact, the position of Pythia, while sacred, is often not a symbol of power. Because the priest king, who was chosen as the Pythia, was raised in a small house from an early age. He couldn't read, he couldn't read, he didn't go anywhere, he wasn't allowed to see anywhere - this was to prevent Pythia, as a priestly king, from becoming the son of heaven in the Greek world. If you keep it up like this, even the smartest child will look better. It's relatively simple. Well, it's more rustic. So Pythia is sometimes synonymous with simplicity. ”

Shang Luo touched his chin: "That is to say, people who do Pythia sometimes give people a . Clumsy feeling? ”

[Ahhhh Say no more! Say no more! I'm going to die! 】

"No, no, no, that's what you said." As if sensing something, Phaethon hurriedly changed his words, "We call this simplicity, and 'stupid' is what you said." Although Apollonia really hasn't seen much outside, so. Forget it, don't talk about it, the more you describe it, the darker it gets. ”

"I know, it's the holy quality as before. Well, the holy quality is the same. He said with a straight face, but he still didn't hold back, "Poof~ No wonder I was always angry when I repeatedly poked the pain point of 'stupid' in the past two days." ”

[Hey! You just couldn't tell me a joke! 】

"Ahem, sorry, I couldn't hold back." Shang Luo took a sip of water, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't be put down.

"By the way, Miss Phaethon, you seem to know a lot about the Lighthouse Project?"

"I'm one of the core players, of course I do. If you see the lighthouse system, you should hear the system beep, right? You can hear my voice, right? ”

"I didn't hear it at first. I only heard it after being reminded of it. ”

"Because at that time, I was a few years younger than now, and my voice was relatively immature."

"Since you're a deep participant in the Lighthouse program, it's all easy to say. As I said before, you want to get back your father's 'Golden Pill', don't you? Also, you want to continue to help Rome with his ascension. Now there is a great opportunity in front of you: we are now on the same path as the Ascension Project in Rome, and I am in charge of advancing it on our side. Well, if you are willing to work with me and accept my employment, I can pay you. ”

"Oh!! That's great. It couldn't be better, I was a little guilty about being here on vacation, but now I'm much more comfortable. So, how much are you going to pay me? ”

Shang Luo stretched out 2 fingers.

"2000 drachmas? No, no, no, it's too much, 1000 is enough. ”

"I have two sentences and I don't know how to spit out. First of all, the 2000 drachma is now not worth anything at all. Secondly, I'm not trying to give you drachmas. I'm going to send you two taels of silver. ”

"Wait." She was stunned for a moment, "This doesn't seem right, it's not like." That's too little, isn't it? I'm so good."

"What are you? You're not a demigod now. ”

"I've got a bunch of top secrets on me."

"Then you say, who are you going to talk to? Do you sell it on the street? ”

“.”

"So you don't have a place to work but me, do you? Or are you going to go back on your own? It's not impossible, if you think you can end your vacation now, you can go back and eat pomegranate seeds and olives or something. ”

"I just want to ask, are you still angry and taking revenge on me?"

"No, no, no, it's not. There is no enmity between the two of us, and we don't owe anything to each other now. I'll give you 2 taels because I don't have the funds at all. Even I take money from my family's payroll account - but it's not my money after all, I have to save something. ”

"Anyway, 2 taels is not enough, right?"

"Are you going out to live?"

"No, I'll just stay at your house. After all. I don't really want to go anywhere else right now, it's good here. ”

"Then you don't spend money on food and housing, 2 taels is just pocket money, more than my pocket money, I can't spend that much every month."

"But in any case, 2 taels is too little. I work with you to trade with you back to my father's heart in the future. How is 2 taels of silver enough per month? Even if I work with you for 10 years, it's only 240 taels, do you think my 10 years is worth that? I still plan to mercifully return my father's heart to me for a few hundred taels. ”

"So my proposal includes the other half - when our plan is successful, I will be the first to give you a salary increase! As long as you have faith in the future of humanity, this is a promising job, isn't it! Look to the future, Miss Phaethon. White hole, white tomorrow is waiting for us. ”

[That's it, goo-goo-goo.] Come and eat the cake, girl. 】

"Are you painting me a pie? It's called painting bread to satisfy hunger, isn't it? ”

"Tsk, you've seen through it." Shang Luo was a little disappointed.

"Please, Brother Shangluo, Romans like us have all taken the 'Academic Aurora' course, which is compulsory education. Of course, I know the allusion to painting bread to satisfy hunger, but it's not impossible. 2 taels is 2 taels. ”

"Why, would you like to eat this mouthful?"

"I don't have any other choice, do I? Why are you like my father, always using reasons that you can't refuse, I'm afraid it's not a bad stomach. ”

"I didn't eat your father's divinity directly, it was refined, and the part I ate was only power, and it was not toxic or harmless to me. Well, but since you agreed, let's explain the content of the work. ”

"Where do we work?"

"Here you go, key." Shang Luo handed over the key to the office, "For the time being, there is only one, I haven't been to the scene yet, but it's a good place, inside the Grand Palace." Tomorrow morning, I will go to meet Dao Ancestor, and then you go and clean up the office, and you will open up the wasteland. ”

"Is there anyone else in our office?"

"There will be a few more people, my friends and teammates. If you count you, we should have 5 people by now. Counting Apollonia is 6, which is quite complete. The specific plan will only be decided after I have discussed it with Dao Ancestor tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry about it for a while, just go and sweep the floor. ”
