Chapter 801: Lord of Thebes
The immortal food is enough for the secret wine.
And in front of Shang Luo is a "water bottle", just like the Aquarius of Aquarius. The bottle is rounded, with a slender neck and a wide mouth. This is the form of the ancient Greek sake vessel, and it is still commonly used today. Because the Romans still have attendants holding wine bottles to serve wine at their feasts today, they never pour wine for themselves.
It's just that unlike the common relics, this wine vessel is golden. Not the gold of gold, but the gold of bronze. Compared to gold, bronze is more stable and more difficult to show - after all, bronze is more prone to rust. But like the constant flow of wine in the bottle, the level in this bottle will not drop no matter how you pour it.
There are two rows of sofas opposite each other in the lounge with a fireplace on the wall. The Dragon's Tooth Soldier with the bottle in his hand stood in the physical center of the room, standing in the most convenient position to pour the wine for the guestsβof course, Shang Luo didn't plan to start pouring it into his mouth right away until he investigated it clearly.
"By the way, is this really reliable?" Phaethon asked, "I still wonder if there is a problem with this wine?" I've always felt that there was a big problem with this. β
"Apollonia, help me explain."
[Okay. I think it's understandable β there's a problem, there's a problem, and I don't believe Alexander has been preparing for so long and has come to us to push the cup and change the glass. The fact that he wants to solve the problem through peaceful means does not mean that the means themselves will favor us. However, this at least says a thing: if it is a dueling, if he is willing to duel in this way, and is supervised, then it at least shows that it is fair. γ
"Do they really react the same way to wine?" Phaethon asked, "Ambrosia, I haven't drunk it either." Even if he really didn't plan to cheat, but just planned to drink with Shang Luo seriously, would Ambrosia really have the same effect on the two? β
Alexander is already stud. Shang Luo fancied his bet, just as he liked Shang Luo's bet.
Lord of Thebes, a fusion of Greek and Egyptian kings. If the Roman king himself could allow Shang Luo to exercise transcendent power within the Roman Empire, then if the kings of Greece and Egypt were also added, then the importance of this position would directly surpass that of the Roman emperor. Because even the Roman emperor was only in line with the Roman king. And the true god-king has gone beyond this level and at the same time plays the role of "king" in the realm of supernatural powers, alchemy, and astrology.
"Honestly, no." Shang Luo himself replied, "I don't know where Alexander is going, but I don't think it's likely that Alexander will see through me. It's not 'absolutely safe' from start to finish β but conversely, if it is, how can Alexander make enough bets. β
[About this. I really don't know what Alexander was thinking. It stands to reason that the constitutions of the two sides are different in themselves, and the impact of drinking Ambrosia is incalculable - the first thing we know is that Shangluo is not drunk in principle. γ
All this, for Alexander, could be done by re-integrating the Roman kings.
"Yes." Shang Luo nodded and said, "In principle, you can't get drunk, because don't say that the Tianyi nobles can catch my wine." Even if there is no Tianyi noble, this celestial body is not a dry meal. Ordinary drunkenness doesn't affect me at all. I don't think Alexander hasn't even looked into this. β
Yes, let us be prepared for Him. After all, one cannot pin all this on Alexander's "missteps". γ
[Well, it's true, I didn't even notice it, did I? ] In fact, the host-guest relationship is also a form of magic. You're now under his roof, and his every move has to conform to the basic principles of the host, and I don't think he's 'evolved' enough to ignore this taboo and hurt you. He said to drink, and at least when it came to drinking, you both took the same test. γ
At first, he just felt that as long as Alexander dared to compete with him, his side would always be prepared. Whatever the problem with the wine, as long as Alexander drank the same amount, then he would have no problem drinking it.
If Alexander were to be crowned king of Rome, he would be the god-king of Rome, Greece and Egypt, both earthly and spiritual, above and below, a state that Alexander's mother, Olympias, had sought all her life. Everything but the Roman king was fused into the throne of the "Lord of Thebes".
"Huh?" Shang Luo was surprised, "There is still such a reason?" β
"But what if?" Faretong still proceeded from the perspective of Shang Luo's personal safety, "This is very risky. Is this risk really manageable? β
"Indeed." Phaethon nodded, "This temptation is really irresistible. Although the Roman kings weighed more than the kings of Greece and Egypt, there was a problem β they were actually very troublesome. Because even if he is the king of Rome, he is already a destroyed title. If it weren't for the Golden Bough, we wouldn't have known that we could become kings of Rome in this way. And the king of Greece and the king of Egypt, these two are almost a fantasy. What was the Greek king? And what is the king of Egypt? Especially the former, except for Alexander, there is no second person in the whole of Greece who can be regarded as the 'king of Greece'. So."
But on the other hand, all this is only one "Lord of Thebes" away from Shangluo. This is the treasure that Alexander himself and her mother have endured countless heroic parades. Under normal circumstances, this treasure is difficult to see, let alone put it on the table, and even the opportunity to show it to others. After all, Alexander doesn't walk around and say that he is only one step away from the success of his big plan.
She paused: "The king of Greece and the king of Egypt, no matter which of these two is taken out alone, is inferior to the king of Rome." However, there was no second person who could take it out except Alexander. After this village, there really won't be this shop, because if Alexander doesn't take the initiative to bring these two to the negotiating table, I really don't know how to take them out. This is what the Alexander family has a clue to advance, and no one else knows about it - not to mention, although one alone is inferior to the Roman king, but the two together are definitely greater than the Roman king. β
"Why, I'm earning?" Shang Luo replied. At least roughly calculated, I did earn it here, and there was no store in this village.
