"So, how dare you pick any wool" Shang Luo was already shocked. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the east, but now that Rome is almost finished, if Rome dies badly, it will be very troublesome to go back and deal with the inheritance.

"It's bold to kidnap an angel, but it's also really useful. I'm worried about one thing right now. Victoria looked at Shang Luo across the screen:

"The transmission of information inevitably creates losses. The Roman Emperor was a level 5 mystical keeper, but such a large secret could only be passed on one-to-one. I used to wonder if some key information was missing, and now it is. For example, the King of Rome is the second level 5 Keeper of Secrets"

"Didn't you know before?"

"Here's the key. I know it's really important, otherwise I wouldn't have gone all the way to ask you to come and solve the problem. But I didn't know it was so important! I don't know because my father probably doesn't either. My father didn't know, I'm afraid because my grandfather, my grandfather's grandfather, my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather didn't know all of them - I don't know what year, month, and generation lost this information. ”

"Then you're not finished, you're going to have ghosts! You're going to be finished! ”

"I would like to ask you to make one thing clear, Monsieur Shangluo—but if it had not been for the foundation of mysticism, we would have perished in 1453. In our place, Europa will be the techno-barbarian states that have sprung up like mushrooms, and they will cause considerable trouble for your country. So while this is problematic, it is necessary. ”

"Okay. I thought I could talk to me about it, and things got better. Now it seems that your problem is much bigger than you think, right? In the end, there is more than one secret keeper, and this one doesn't even know. ”

She shook her head: "Shang Luo, as the king of Rome, you have the same decision power on this matter as I do, and I would like to ask for your opinion. For example, what would you think about the matter of Shepherd Stephen? ”

"It's a ticking time bomb." Shang Luo replied, "I don't want the archangel to defend Constantinople. So the power is in my hands, and I will seek reconciliation with the angels. Otherwise, if someone brings the shepherds in at a time I don't expect it, Constantinople will be blown up. Between 'orderly demolition and demolition' and 'all blasting into the sky', I choose the former. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, the archangel Gabriel was imprisoned for 1,500 years. On Tuesday, May 29, 1453, the Turks from Asia Minor smashed the walls of Theodosius with the Cannons of Urban, and that day became the 'Day of the Bloodshed of the Angels'. Every year on May 29, we have to make sure that Gabriel's icon is covered in plaster, otherwise everyone present will witness the blood of the angel's wings flowing out – and so much more. I don't know if the archangel Gabriel will ever forgive us after all this. ”

"So you don't have a reliable way, do you? Why do you have to use such a troubled method? ”

"Because as long as it's a lock, there's always a key. As long as it is a lock, there is a possibility that it will be opened. We call it a bane, but any mystery will inevitably produce taboos, and there will inevitably be a bane. Taboo is the price of using power, and the bane is the way to dissipate power. As far as angels are concerned, there are many taboos, and the day of the angels' bloodshed is just one of them. And Stephen the shepherd, who is the key to the lock, is the bane for us. Bane 009, Shepherd Stephen, has a huge secret to the survival of the Empire. ”

"You know this, how do you get to sleep?"

"If you know that such a secret has a book as thick as a phone book, you will naturally relax."

"Okay." Shang Luo touched his forehead, "How do you usually keep such a secret?" ”

"In addition to the corresponding level of secret keepers, there are also full-time workers who are in charge, and they only know the part they are responsible for, and they don't know the whole picture. And we're generally cross-managed - the mysteries that would physically blow up Constantinople, for example, are usually kept in the hands of the oracle or the muse. Because if it is handed over to the Senate, it may be exchanged by them as a bargaining chip one day. Vice versa. ”

"And what does 'I know' mean?"

Victoria shook her head: "You now have a great mystery in your hands without restraint, you know the fate of the Roman Empire, but you have not signed any agreement. So, your situation is the same as the nature of the Roman kings themselves - in the early history of mankind, there was a being called a 'witch king', who was a shaman and a tribal leader at the same time, and they had almost divine status and authority. Later, with the development of history, very few countries still retain such a half-human and half-god monarch. And you are already now. ”

As she spoke, she sighed, "I should have thought of it a long time ago." This is a very obvious reminder that the Roman kings were historically shamans and secular chieftains in the Roman region. If you become the king of Rome, you will of course become the witch king. ”

"Okay." Shang Luo looked at him, "If I were the Witch King, I would try to make peace with Gabriel. While it is true that there may be problems, don't ask how you know if you can talk about it. If both sides can take a step back, it may not be impossible to dissolve this bane. ”

"No, this one won't work." Victoria replied directly, "Even if you can talk, you can't talk about it." Since there is no need to keep it a secret from you, I will say it bluntly - Hagia Sophia has another purpose, and it will become a place for the bones of Rome. Because there was originally a church cemetery underneath, where the whole of Constantinople could be buried. Until we can find a way to get the flesh into the world of husks, we will still have to keep churches around the world as burial grounds. Constantinople is the largest of these. ”

"You can't move, can you? So you carry it yourself? ”

"Hmm." Victoria nodded, "Ideally, Rome would strip away all secular institutions, and we would be the keepers of the mystery. We will try to gradually dissolve the mysteries we have left behind, but there are still mysteries that can be used by Aurora until the work is gradually implemented. We'll do our best to help – and, Shangluo. Now that you are the king of Rome, you also have the right to decide on the affairs of this institution. Any indications? ”

"All I want to know now is - how many Level 5 Keepers are there? Please investigate this first. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles, and you may not know where another one will come out, and then you will blow up a series of mines. ”
