"That's it? Do you think that drinking alcohol equals not drinking, so you can beat me in drinking? ”

"Isn't it? You're already bleeding. Alexander maintained his initial kindness, "Although it is more useful for me to shed your blood, from the perspective of both human and intellectual reasons, I do not advise you to continue to hold on." From this one onwards, you will need to bleed each cup to replenish it. ”

"Well, what will happen then?" Shang Luo asked.

"The first thing you have to know is that you and I are not in the same situation. In my case, I haven't crossed the gap between people and silhouettes, and I can't actually confirm that I am fully self-aware. You can think of me as a cup - a man who drinks Ambrosia becomes an immortal god, but the cup that holds Ambrosia does not. If you scatter a little on the ground, the floor will not become a god. The qualifications of man are of great importance here, for only the human body can be sublimated by the accommodation of Ambrosia. But."

"But?"

"But, you're bleeding. I've reminded you many times. "You really shouldn't have an accident here." It's dangerous, really. ”

"Well, don't talk about this yet, if you want to be sincere, you can have a drink yourself." Shang Luo replied, "Although it seems that no matter how much you drink, it will leak out, but who knows if it's true." ”

"Okay. Well, I have one last question—" Shang Luo looked at him, "how did you fool the Sun God's Spear?" ”

"Because my words don't even count." Alexander sighed and smiled helplessly, "Whether it's an oath or a curse, that's the prerogative of man." I'm no different from this floor, I'm no different from this plate. Would you care about the vows of pots and pans? Of course, if I win, it's a different story. ”

Although he was indeed put on a role, Shang Luo was not too angry. It felt like I had tripped over a branch, and there was no need to get angry with it.

He looked at Alexander: "At least, I think you are human." When you can eat that nest, you can taste it, don't you? That's right. In any case, you are human beings here and here. This is important. ”

"Then you're good at acting."

"Okay." Alexander looked away, as if he had made up his mind, before he said, "Don't say it's the Spear of the Sun God, in fact, even if we swear by the Great Styx, it won't be valid." ”

[What nonsense are you talking about? Even Zeus himself could not escape the Great Styx. 】

"Yes. But what do you have in mind when you're trying to trick me into drinking so much? ”

Compared to drinking, of course, it is to have one glass after another, and if you drag it for a while, you may be able to drink hard. Alexander's state was only his side of the story, and Shang Luo was not yet fully convinced.

But Alexander obviously looks like a big living person, and can even taste the taste of wowotou, but he still can't be considered a "human", which is really a bit sad.

"I thank you for agreeing." Alexander nodded.

"So, Your Excellency the King of Rome." Alexander replied, "So I said at the outset that the stakes themselves are important. Since you know I'm prepared, and I do, let's focus on the stakes themselves. You really want Thebes, don't you? And I really want the position of King of Rome. So we might as well move on with the bet. ”

"Okay." Shang Luo sighed, "But no matter what, I want to tell you one thing clearly. ”

"That's right—I would like to ask you, the undefeated, to defeat me, a colander who can drink an infinite amount of wine, and an infinite void in the fight for wine—and if you can do it, I will have no trouble handing over the throne of Thebes to you. Because if you can do the impossible, then nothing can stop you, it's just a matter of time. ”

"You're really funny." Shang Luo didn't know what to say. This guy did swear, and now it's indeed a violation. But if he doesn't even swear an oath, magic doesn't respond to him at all, which is an indescribable sadness.

"Of course." Alexander immediately took a drink, "Is it okay?" ”

Before the start of the game, Shang Luo would of course use the Sun God's Spear to swear an oath. In fact, he didn't trust the Great Styx very much, as he hadn't seen what the Great Styx's retribution looked like. But the retribution of the spear of the sun god, he has indeed seen it. Helios himself can be retributed.

He added: "As long as I win, I can surpass Zeus. As long as I win, Helios can't help me, not even the Great Styx. The pathetic gods bound by fate cannot be compared to the god-kings who unify the earthly and spiritual worlds. The gods of our time are far greater than those of classical times. ”

"Two things. First things first, I hope you don't shed blood here, this is my last piece of advice; The second thing, I'll tell you the truth. Alexander said, "If I had shown the ability to 'drink all the wine' from the beginning, you would not have agreed to drink with me." If you do it directly, then I won't win. I was thinking, I'll pour you four cups first, and if you're paralyzed and can't walk, I'll tell you the truth. ”

"I don't need to perform at all. ' People need to perform, and I can't even be sure if my actions are deliberate or unintentional. ”

He looked as usual. Ambrosia drank it as if she had been refilled with lamp oil, making the golden glow that erupted from his eyes brighter. And yet, like the lights, nothing happens except to get brighter.

"Don't you get drunk at all? Or rather, you're a bottomless pit. When you drink alcohol, it's no different than when you pour it directly on the ground. I'm competing with the Void? ”

"So I'm not going to kick you away like a rock. Since this matter has nothing to do with the oath, but only the two of us, then I will tell you the truth. Let me tell you what's at stake. ”

Shang Luo looked him directly into the eyes: "You, bring me here, it's your fault first, a black bean." You didn't explain the situation to me at the beginning of the competition, which is your second mistake, two black beans. But you take the initiative to take out chips that are more valuable, and I can give you a red bean. Now you still owe me a black bean, I still remember. But if this is over and you hand over Thebes to me, I can be blameless—it's not about oaths, but if you break your oath, I'll rip Thebes out of your belly, no matter how troublesome it is. You swear to your god that you don't count, but I won't let you run away here. ”
