According to Roman custom, the robe was actually nearly 10 meters long when unfolded, and after a series of wraps, the hem of the robe naturally draped down and rested on Agasocles' left hand. Although there are many superfluous places in the fabric of this suit, the original intention of his design can be fully understood by "the people here".

Under the gangway, standing there was the national abbot, Huai'an Hou Yang Xueren. He wore a public uniform - a deep coat with wide sleeves, and the huge volume also made the hem of the suit hang down to the upper of the shoe. When Agasocles came down the gangway, the two exchanged a few words and began to walk along the red carpet towards the gate.

The two of them advanced side by side, and the fabric on the two of them weighed dozens of pounds together. The same color, the same huge volume. This is the common aesthetic of the "world's double pupils", and all of them are ordered in Jiangnan Weaving and Suzhou Weaving.

The other Romans who came down behind were dressed in red, green, blue, and other colors, and were as dark-sleeved as the ceremonial workers in official robes.

The speed at which the two newcomers are very slow. Even as Rome was about to fall, the ritual was going on steadily and peacefully. The marching procession slowly approached the huge gate, and after stopping to look up in front of the word "Gaomen", Agasocles walked into the door.

Behind the door, Zhu Xianen's car.

Jin Yiwei opened the car door outside, and Yang Xueren, who was outside the door, made a gesture of please, and went to take his own special car next to him.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that you are here. I thought I would be able to pay my respects when I got to the capital. ”

"It's okay." Zhu Xianene waved his hand, "You are my elder, and you should come out to greet you." Besides, this is the last time, and there is no need to talk about many rituals. ”

"Hmm," Agasocles looked inside the car. As soon as he entered, he saw two familiar figures—Shang Luo, the last time he saw them. And one more, the alchemist.

After a brief pleasantries, Agasocles spoke:

"Actually, before coming this time, I informed His Majesty the Son of Heaven about something. This matter may require some assistance from you. ”

"Huh? What's up? Shang Luo asked.

"Do you like pandas?" Agasocles asked.

"Huh? Ah" The same question made Shang Luo stunned for a moment, "Yes, I like it." ”

"We all loved it. The panda is a symbol of peace in the world and a treasure of this world. No other beast in this world is as benevolent as the panda. But. We can't keep pandas anymore. We've got to get the panda back. ”

"Ahh So that's it! How many are there? ”

"Not too much. There are 12 in Constantinople, all of which were given to us as a national gift by Aurora. Pandas are also very popular in Constantinople, and we really can't bear to have to send them back this time - but pandas can't sink with us after all, pandas should live well in the sun. So before Rome falls, we have to send the pandas back. But."

"Huh?" Shang Luo realized that something was wrong, "But, something happened?" ”

"It's not us where the accident happened. It's New Antioch - we're loading all the pandas on the plane and sending them back to Aurora, but there's a big problem with New Antioch: the pandas have been stolen. ”

"Huh?"

【Ha??? 】

The two of them were stupid together.

[Who is so lacking in morality? Is there any benefit to stealing pandas? 】

"I haven't figured it out either." Agasocles shook his head, "This inexplicable thing happened is really distressing and difficult for me to explain. I've ordered it to be handed over to the pandas in Colombia first, because I'm afraid of something like this. I didn't expect it or didn't prevent it - Lord Apollonia was also surprised, right? We all think the same. ”

[But, why?] I still haven't figured it out. Why would anyone steal pandas? 】

"If I could figure it out, I'd be a criminal. We think the panda thing is very important, it's not our own business. The panda is a treasure of the whole world, and it is a precious gift from Aurora. We don't want to damage the world's spirits at such a critical moment. Otherwise, we will not rest in peace. ”

"So that's what I'm going to do?"

"Yes." Agasocles nodded, "Although it makes me feel a little guilty for having to trouble you with these things as soon as I come. But the stakes are so high that you can only let your Excellency go. We have contacted the Governor of Colombia, Mr. Pompeo, and he has offered to cooperate fully with you. Although we and Pompey have many differences of opinion, we both believe that pandas should be excluded from controversy, and any harm to pandas should not be tolerated. So in this matter, Colombia will grant you the highest authority, and you can get unhindered in Colombia. ”

"Ah" Shang Luo nodded, "I see." This is really important. But since it's related to pandas, don't you have to let Zhu Ling go with you?"

"No, no, no, no." Zhu Xianene shook his head again and again, "This won't work." Zhu Ling has been too busy lately, she"

[I think it's still necessary to let her come.] Apollonia said, "She's the panda expert." Since it's related to pandas, of course you have to call her. 】

"She can't move, she'll hold you back. I think it's just the two of you who can do this. ”

[How can there be only two?] Call everybody. And the Miss Karin of Lake Nemi must be called. 】

"Miss Karin? Who's that? That Karin of Alexander's librarian? Yes, she does walk with you. ”

【？？？ The alchemist's screen flickered for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, [Why?] 】

"Official business. The Great Library has some materials to move from New Antioch, but Pompey is not very cooperative in this regard, so Alexander's team will also arrive at the same time as you to negotiate with Pompey. Does Apollonia Court want Karin to join you? You can transfer her if you need to. ”

"I don't have to." Shang Luo whispered, "Just a few people can go." ”

【Yes!】 Call them all! 】

"Hmm." Agasocles nodded, "Actually, I think it's necessary. Shang Luo, or His Excellency the King of Rome, said that he would give you a guard, and now it has been decided. In this operation, we will have a mixed force at your disposal. At the end of the mission, they will be deployed directly under your command. The location of the joint will be sent to you before the operation, because they themselves do not know where to go until the operation starts. ”

"Ahh Isn't it? Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "Although it is very important, it is just a kidnapping case, it seems that there is no need to be so grand?" I still think the two of us can go. Isn't this lineup too luxurious? ”

"Although it was only a kidnapping case, it was a panda who was kidnapped. Not to mention, the lion fights the rabbit and has to do his best. Only by using thunderous means can the safety of the panda be protected. If you come across those robbers, you don't need to make any declarations, you can just shoot them on the spot. I think they'd like to be shot dead on the spot, because we Romans have our own ideas about torture. When they touch untouchable elves with their dirty hands, they should pay the price for their actions for eternity. ”
