After the sympathetic shielding was lifted, the submarine started its normal engine - Shang Luo felt that this engine thing seemed to only start at this time, and the rest of the time it acted in other ways. So that diesel engine is more of an auxiliary engine than an engine.

Driven by auxiliary aircraft, the submarine slowly berthed at a safe speed to the military port of New Antioch. Even if you visit suddenly in the middle of the night, there are many people standing on the pier. They were dressed in various military uniforms, civilian clothes, etc., and those who did not wear ceremonial clothes had obviously just gathered here.

Little Pompey is no exception. He wore a military uniform, which was based on a hunting suit and was a woolen jacket with two pockets on the chest. The neckline is not worn with a military rank, but with the emblem of the double-headed eagle and SPQR. SPQR, that is, "the Senate and the Roman people". All the Patriarchs wear the SPQR emblem, but only the Archon wears the Double-Headed Eagle, which is the symbol of the Legion.

Although he is called Pompey Jr., the other party looks at least a round older than himself. The Romans traditionally did not shave their hair, and all people had to keep their hair long and then keep it neatly groomed. However, the military is an exception, and the consul is also a consul with military power, and he needs to remind others at all times that he has "military power".

Pompey Jr. also had no hair under his hat and no beard on his face, making him look at least 10 years younger than his actual age.

[Speaking of which, your senior brother doesn't seem to have a beard either. 】

"It's probably a kind of image building, although he has reached the age when he should grow a beard, I don't think he actually wants to make himself too mature. A mature person is responsible for everything, but he never formally attends any meetings except for the Great Dynasty Meeting, and the frequency of the last dynasty is almost the same as that of the Wanli Emperor. In his current state, he maintains the image of a young man, and even if there is a problem, he will not take the blame. ”

[Ah, your rules are really complicated. The Romans were much more convenient on their side, and if they didn't like it, they would take their soldiers and horses to hold a martial arts tournament. 】

"Is there still such a habit? Fighting a war is a death story. ”

[The life of the barbarians is not the fate - this is what many Romans thought, after all, the occult does not recognize their existence. Because those barbarians aside, the angels of the Golden Age, the elves of the Silver Age, and the shadowless army of the Black Iron Age are not human anymore. They have all been taken away. The Romans had only you as their friends. Well, although Colombia has some problems with the mainland, they are still very polite to Aurora. 】

"Indeed." Little Pompey over there, he himself came to pick him up in the middle of the night, which was already quite face-saving. Because in the conversation between the two sides of the ship, it can be heard that Pompey Jr. seems to be on official duty and is sealing off the restricted area.

"Fortunately. You are, the chosen Roman king of the land - oh, sorry, I didn't learn the Aurora honorifics, I just know to replace 'you' with 'you'. So what I said earlier may be a bit rude. ”

Pompey Jr. asked in standard Aurora. Like the other Romans, they learned Aurora as a tool, so everyone would. But honorifics outside of tools are not within the scope of learning.

"Oh, nothing. Feel free to do whatever you want. "Coincidentally, he won't be able to do it himself anyway, just to save trouble.

The two shook hands, and Shang Luo asked, "However, you don't seem to be surprised at all here?" ”

"It stands to reason that it should indeed be an accident. There are so many strange things done on the local side that I don't think it's strange. I even think it's better to have the Aurora King of Rome than the Romans. Because the Aurora people at least live in our world, not always thinking about getting into the box and dreaming of immortality. ”

He looked behind him: "Your Excellency Faethon is also there. I heard that you disappeared some time ago, and it seems that you have received a new mission. I wonder if you have any special assignments this time? ”

"She's here to check the 'Otearoa'." Shang Luo replied.

"The Night God Bomb? It's been demolished. Moreover, this matter should not be left to you by the king of Rome. ”

"Let me explain." Marcus stepped forward, "It stands to reason that I'm supposed to be talking to you, so."

"Your level is not enough. I only speak to the king of Rome. Little Pompey didn't mean to be polite at all. After all, only Shang Luo was a guest, he wasn't. He was just a "terrible Greek in Fira".

"Well, then, please listen to my additional opinions." Marcus insisted, "Our priority is to get the stolen panda back. But His Majesty the Roman King was also crucial in Aurora, and he could not risk being threatened by the Night God bomb to operate here. So before we look into the case, we have to check whether the bomb is normal. ”

Hearing the word "panda", Pompey Jr. paused.

"Panda, huh?" He confirmed with Shang Luo.

"Yes, mostly for pandas."

"If it's for pandas, there's nothing wrong with that. But I don't mind if you take these filath-loving Greeks with you, who don't even look down on the Golden Bough. We can assist you with your investigation every step of the way. ”

[Cut, Latin native, loud and ridiculous. 】

"Eh" Shang Luo was a little hesitant, this was a regional black among the Romans, and he really had no position to care.

"King, it is not good to be with the Greeks. Colombia will fully cooperate with you as long as you agree. ”

"That's how we did it." Shang Luo thought for a moment, "After the Son of Heaven handed over this matter to me, it will be handled by my subordinates. It is true that I have Greek agents sponsored by Constantinople among my subordinates, but they are now under my command. ”

"I don't have a problem with that." He nodded, "If you need to, I can arrange for you to go to the scene right away." Of course, that one has indeed been demolished. If you don't believe me, I can accompany you personally. ”

"You don't have anything else to do here?"

"Absolutely. But." He looked at Shang Luo, "Nothing is more important than a panda." ”

New Antioch differs from Constantinople in many ways. But there is one thing in common, that is, the Romans here drive six-wheeled cars. The six wheels can be explosion-proof, and the explosion of a tire on either side will not affect the movement of the vehicle.

Sitting in a heavy compartment, the armor around it is thick enough to block the cannon of the helicopter overhead. However, the front compartment of the driver and co-pilot was cramped, and the rear seat space was large enough for a lion to lie in the middle - the same model of the Fae and the stretch sedan at the time, but it was not lengthened to accommodate the road conditions of New Antioch.
