Chapter 359: Vika
“.”
"So what? Your Majesty, can you get to know you? ”
"Wait, why did I become Your Majesty all of a sudden?"
"Well, maybe there is something wrong with the corresponding honorifics in Aurora. It's a bit presumptuous, because the Aurora language we learn is only for scientific purposes. But whether it's the Latin REX, or the Greek 'Basilius', or anything like that, it means monarch. None of us have a direct correspondence to the meaning of the word 'emperor' in your own context. ”
"Then what do you usually call the Son of Heaven?"
"We use the transliteration of the Son of Heaven directly. By the way, you probably haven't read the Roman literature? When we write technical terms, we all use Chinese characters to express them. Therefore, the word Son of Heaven is not only pronounced as the Son of Heaven in our case, but also written as the Son of Heaven when it is written, and then it is marked with Latin Pinyin. The Persian loanword for god son (baγpuhr) is also sometimes used. ”
"I see"
"Now because of my dealings with Aurora, that Persian loanword is not used much anymore, and is only occasionally used to replace and rhyme in poetry. So we. Well. In fact, the closest concept is the Pythia, but the Pythia is only the 'Son of Heaven' in the Greek region. As far as the Roman Empire as a whole was concerned, because the city of Rome did not have such a concept at the time, there was no original word in Latin. ”
"But it's still a bit awkward, and it's not good for people to hear."
"Is that so, there are a lot of people who call Your Majesty here, and there are several in this room. Caesar is Your Majesty, Alexander is Your Majesty, I am Your Majesty, and my father and mother can be called Your Majesty. Well, it's not quite what you're used to. That's just Shang Luo. ”
"This one does."
"So, Shang Luo, can you let me get to know him? The person who cooked this wotou for you? ”
"Wait a minute." Shang Luo walked to pick up the phone and dialed the Golden Arches' ordering number:
"Hey, this is Wutai Mountain Golden Arches Peach Restaurant. What do you need? The operator's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Trouble for Phaethon to take the phone."
"What's the matter?" said Phaetong.
"Huh? Can you still voice like this? ”
"It's open! This is the voice of business. ”
"You're so busy. Why is your restaurant operator also you? ”
"Because our manager is not there, today I am on shift. Is there something wrong with you? Looking for me to bring food? ”
"I wanted to ask if I could tell me who you are and where you are in Rome?"
"No, no, no, no! If I let them know that I'm doing odd jobs day and night, I'm going to die socially! I still have friends I care about! ”
"Oh yes, okay, then I'll just talk about it."
"Well, that's all. Who is this, inquiring about other people's privacy all day long. That's it, I hung up first. See you in the evening? ”
"See you in the evening." Shang Luo hangs
"Wait!" On the other end of the phone, Phaethon suddenly picked up the phone again, "Who asked you this question just now?" Who is that person? Can I get acquainted? ”
"I want to think about it"
Can you tell her? It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Victoria's identity is completely public.
"It's the Roman Emperor." Shang Luo told her truthfully.
"Ah!! It's Vika! ”
"You know each other?"
"Of course we do. Is she okay? ”
[Eh! You know each other! Huh! Okay, you only have one friend of mine! How do you have a friend again! You even lied to your own aunt. Woo woo, this kid is hopeless. I said why didn't you come to see me for ten days and half a month, it turned out that you were going to play with new friends. 】
"She" Shang Luo thought about it, but still asked rhetorically, "Why do you think she is bad?" ”
"Because she had been very melancholy and very excited. I tense my nerves every day, and I have to check the buttons of my clothes four times before I can rest assured. As I left, she seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable. I asked her many times, but she never said why. ”
"Oh~~ She thinks so because she doesn't want to die. Because after they sank into the spirit world before, they didn't know if they would be able to come back. ”
"I see! I was thinking about how she didn't do this when she was a child, so she became like this after she ascended the throne. No wonder she can't say this, even as a friend. Oh, no, what did she tell you? Why don't you tell me. ”
"Because I was helping her solve the problem at the time, because of the Pure Land. As for why I didn't tell you now, you didn't want to hide in my house yourself. Then I'll hang up, and I'll help you keep it a secret. ”
"Wait. She could say. ”
"Huh? Didn't you say that you would die in front of others? ”
"Vika. Vika is her baby name. She's my friend. I have very few friends, so. I wish she knew. ”
"Okay. Then I'll hang up. Please do some more tonight according to those nests from last night, thank you. ”
Shang Luo hung up the phone and put the phone back on his waist.
"Ahem, Miss Vika."
"Huh? What do you call me? Who told you that? Yes!!! Is it Phaethon? ”
"That's a quick response."
"Because she is the only one besides my parents and the head maid who calls me that, etc!" She suddenly reacted, "Is this the meal made by Phaethon?" My doubts were solved, no wonder it was so unpalatable. ”
"How do you know?"
"Because how can you expect someone who has never eaten well to cook for you, she must have said, her staple food used to be olives and grape juice. So the dishes she cooks have always been hard to eat. ”
As she spoke, Victoria's face showed a painful expression, as if it was an unbearable past.
"She's cooked before?"
"Yes." Victoria nodded, "We've hunted and hunted rabbits before. Although she can't eat everything directly, her prey can be eaten. She hunted the rabbit, and she roasted it on the fire – and then I didn't see the rabbit's body until sunset. This guy is usually burning sacrifices when he reduces the roast of meat, which is the method of roasting pigs and cows. She burned the rabbit in the same way, and the rabbit bones were almost burned out. ”
The tragic death of the rabbit dangled and dangled in front of her.
“.”
"So, is she growing now?"
"No, she hasn't done it, but it's steamed."
"I see. I've heard people say that even a monkey can steam a bowl of rice with a rice cooker. Cooking with a steady steam will allow even Phaethon to make human food. Lucky Shang Luo, you have made the most correct choice, you have chosen to let her 'steam'. ”
