Chapter 789: Target

[Interesting, he went after Karin by himself. 】

"Presumably, Karin is indeed the highest priority in his eyes." Shang Luo leaned back on the wide sofa seat in the back of the car. Because little Pompey was not here, he put away the seats in the front row, leaving a huge space in the back compartment, so that even the alchemist could sit directly on the chair.

"I remember the first time I got in one of these cars, Phaethon invited me to drink grape juice."

[She's still quite polite.] If you are of equal status with them, it is actually very comfortable to deal with these Roman nobles. 】

"I could see that every Roman I met seemed to be very talkativeβ€”including the one I met before and asked me for a picture."

[This is because the Romans truly see you as "another self in the world", a vast, populous, strict law, upright, full of justice, dazzling, peaceful and war-free, the cradle of all culture and wisdom, and the inhabitants have a lifespan of more than 200 years. It is also said, 'This is a very just people, they leave their goods in the wilderness, and the buyers, when the seller is not there, come and pick up the goods, this way of doing business is very famous.' 'Such. 】

"There's nothing wrong with that, that's right. Except for the fact that 200 years old is not feasible for the time being, I think everything else is fine. Isn't it just vast and populous? The cradle of all culture and wisdom, I don't think there's anything wrong with it; As for the latter one, 'the goods are left in the wilderness and the seller is not there to pick them up', isn't this a vending machine, it's everywhere. ”

[I've heard of this as a vending machine for the first time.] But it seems to be true. 】

"Aren't there any vending machines in Constantinople?"

[Ahh Apollonia laughed, "Don't you see what Phaetong was like at the beginning? There is a joke that three friends of the Aurora, the Romans and the Barbarians went to dinner, and the Aurora came late and said, 'I'm sorry, I just went to buy a movie ticket', and the Barbarian asked, "What is a movie ticket?" ”; The Romans asked, "What is buying?" ”。 】

"Usually Romans don't touch money at all, do they?"

[Only referring to the Roman aristocracy in the true sense, they probably won't touch the money once a year, and only the hostess who takes care of the family property will calculate the accounts. Although Faetong was in charge of the affairs of the Tibetan Bone Group before, she probably won't be able to touch the money a few times. 】

"Then she seems to be adapting quite quickly? She seems to have entered the state of part-time work immediately. ”

[Compared with her previous work intensity, going to Golden Arches to work is equivalent to a vacation. Just doing a little work can reap the satisfaction, this is already self-cultivation for her, I have never seen her so relaxed. She has always felt that she is too fishy, and there is no way to redeem the spear of the sun god when the time comes, and she has been trying to find a way to improve. 】

"Were all the Roman senators like that? I think little Pompey seems to be very positive as well. ”

Not really. Remember what Victoria said to you when she wanted you to accept the authority of the Roman king? She wants you to come and 'hold the bull's ear' from time to time to deal with the issue of sacrifice. In fact, for example, when she entered the library this time, Karin could only open the forbidden book with your authorization - she could read it. But if you don't agree, she can't just look at it. This was the kind of work performed by most Roman aristocrats: under mystical feudalism, they usually kept a secret hereditarily and obeyed certain rules. 】

"I think I've heard of this kind of thing. It is said that there is a strange place in the garden where a guard has been standing there all the time, and there is no need to stand guard in the middle of nowhere. As a result, looking through the history of the court, I found that it was the queen who found a beautiful rose here more than a hundred years ago, and ordered a guard to stand here for fear of being picked. As a result, more than 100 years later, people changed stubble, and the roses of the year did not know where they went, but there was still a guard who stood here for some reason, and everyone did not know why he was standing here - until, someone went to open the book. ”

[And Ling explained that it is convenient. In this way, the Roman aristocracy basically performed very important, but also very leisurely functions. It doesn't matter who does it, it's who does it. The Pompey Magnus clan was in charge of the forbidden canon, and they rose through the ranks until they became rulers of New Antioch. Once this is sealed, it is almost impossible to remove it, because memories are deeply bound to secrets. Only when their own interests are at stake can they perform their most basic duties. 】

"Then now that he has joined the plan of Amon Zeus, is it considered a secret invalidation?"

[Well, I can't say that. SPQR, referring to the Senate and the Roman people. As a member of the Senate, he had the right to decide for himself how he would carry out his mission, without informing others. As long as he does not interfere in the work of other patriarchs, he can act cheaply within his authority. After all, the legitimacy of the emperor of Constantinople was not as high as that of the Roman king. The king of Rome was the rightful man, the priest-king of Rome. The emperor of Constantinople was an extension of the first citizen, the peripheral institution of the Senate. De jure so. 】

"I kind of understand the job."

[Yes, I know you understand right away.] The so-called mysterious feudal system is to feudalize one, several, or a group of people who keep secrets. In order to fulfill their mission, they can invoke worldly forces that are in line with the secret hierarchy. When the secrecy is too great to be added, the keeper has the right to mobilize everything in the world to serve him without notifying anyone. 】

"But what are you guys doing?"

[Well, that seems to be the problem.] After all, this is a self-enclosed system, set up for governance, not development. This involves one of the most critical concepts – dissolving synchronicity. This is the fundamental principle of the entire mystical feudal system. 】

"What does that mean?"

[It means that when looking at all mysteries, we must find ways to peel off the passage of time, and only look at things from the perspective of events and space.] Only in this way can the possibility of change be eliminated and everything will work as usual. In other words, the system itself is a huge stretch of Baiyun Township - so Pompey's actions are not actually contrary to the original purpose of all this. So. Huh? Is that so? So reasonable? 】

An eerie round of applause rang out.
