Across the street, Shangluo, who was wearing a big hat, revealed his eyes from behind the newspaper. Apollonia relayed the conversation between Jin Yiwei and Jin Yiwei in real time as before. The Jin Yiwei had already set up a blockade, and the crowd of onlookers had already piled up in three or four layers.
"I seemed to hear something, and I also saw that they seemed to be looking for me with some magic weapon. So they were going to Las Vegas to chase me? But why?"
Shangluo couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it. He obviously hasn't decided anything yet, so why does Jin Yiwei have to predict in advance?
[I guess Jin Yiwei came to Las Vegas. After all, those Britons were making a lot of noise, and they were aware of the 'weird' probabilities. So, where are you going? 】
"I don't know. But physical distance can't stop Jin Yiwei at all. Running to the wild is useless. But I can't really go to Las Vegas, right? They are obviously chasing me. So do I just want to go here? Running is a problem. I feel... I can actually trust Jin Yiwei, how about I say hello to them? "
[When you are in doubt, may I suggest you do some divination? Come on, draw the card first. Did you agree? Let's get started. 】
Apollonia paused and began to ask questions:
[Eliminate the least likely options first. Akashic Records, should we go to Las Vegas! Give me an accurate letter! 】
...
At the station, a long-distance bus bound for Las Vegas has started its engine.
"In the end, we really went to Las Vegas. Jin Yiwei seemed to be one step ahead of us. I said, are you really reliable?"
[I think...we can trust the Akashic Records. Well, it should be possible. The Akashic Records answer based on the sum of all past experiences - He thinks it should go. So what are your plans now? Or do you still plan to go back? 】
"Forget it, it's not a bad thing to go to Las Vegas. You can't run anywhere anyway. This limited route actually helped me open up my mind. If I must go to Las Vegas, I probably have We have a solution. And maybe we can kill two birds with one stone and solve the problem together with Qian and Dan. As for now, I’ll take a good rest, I’m afraid I’ll be busy tomorrow.”
He looked out the window. The seats in long-distance buses are so narrow that your knees can only touch the seat in front of you. The hardwood seat had no cushions and was so slippery that he always had a tendency to fall off.
This is not a bus prepared for the people of Ming Dynasty, because you can get on this bus as long as you buy a ticket. On the road from San Francisco to Las Vegas, there are two or three buses carrying passengers every day.
There were not many people on the bus, but there was one guest in each row. For a weekday rather than a holiday, that's not a bad attendance.
【correct? When will I need the Foundation Establishment Pill prescription Ziqian? 】
Apollonia asked. This was an agreement between them, and she always remembered it.
"Wait until you get off the car. You can't make elixirs now anyway. Let me have a good sleep first. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep after hearing this. It's better to come back tomorrow."
"Ahem..." The steward, who was wider than the corridor, got on the bus. This is a "red man", with pink-white skin that is red from the sun, and his nose and neck are red. The bag of the fanny pack circled around his waist and was tied to the short-sleeved shirt. The bag contains tickets and ticket holders.
With a thick Texas accent, the conductor shouted into the car:
"Who wants to buy a ticket?" He just yelled and was about to leave.
"This." Shangluo raised his hand feebly.
The conductor stood on tiptoe and took a glance - Shangluo was sitting in the back row. The corridor was already narrow, and he had to hold his stomach in order to squeeze in.
"Oh." He was a little impatient, but this was work.
Holding his stomach, he still sent it in through the narrow aisle.
"Where do I get off?" There was no emotion in his tone. As a conductor, he said this sentence hundreds of times every day. Even though he only went to elementary school, he was able to memorize the fares at all the stations along the way.
"Get off in Las Vegas."
"90 yuan." The conductor reflexively quoted the price.
"Fortunately, it's not expensive." Shangluo actually didn't know how much the ticket cost. He felt that his money should be enough. He took out a coin and handed it to the conductor.
As soon as he got the heavy one or two silver dollars, the conductor was stunned for a moment.
Good guy, give me such a big one.
He looked at Shangluo——
"It's Mr. Sinian. Sorry, sorry, I didn't find it."
The conductor's spirits suddenly lifted. There may not be a single "Chinese person" riding this train for ten days and a half.
"Chendan" is the European name for the Ming Dynasty, because the concept of directly calling it "the Ming Dynasty" would be vague. Because the whole world belongs to the Kingdom, and this hemisphere belongs to the "Ming Dynasty". At this time, it is politically incorrect to call the people within the Wang family "Ming people".
So generally speaking, they would call the Han people within Wangji, that is, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, "Chinese people", which is a name from Rome. There is also the name "Maha Cathay", which is a kind of elegant name, but it is not formal.
Correspondingly, the people of the Ming Dynasty called "Two Capitals and Thirteen Provinces" "Jinei" because it was Wangji under the direct rule of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
"Are you checking my ID?"
"No, no, no, how dare we check Mr. Sinian's ID? No one here is qualified. Wait, I'll get you some new bills. These bills are too dirty."
"No need to go to so much trouble, just come to me directly."
"Well, I'm sorry." The conductor wore a professional smile, and his attitude was somewhere between "flattery" and "diligence." No reason, it's just because all the "Chinese people" here are on business, and there are almost no civilians in the true sense. This time I went to Las Vegas, obviously with some...
Some indescribable reasons.
He didn't intend to ask any more questions. With Shangluo's consent, he gave Shangluo the change in his bag.
As soon as he got the banknotes, Shangluo knew why he wanted to change them: they were not all banknotes issued by the Ministry of Accounts, but also banknotes issued by the "Bank of San Marco", the central bank of Rome. The exchange rates between the currencies of both parties are very stable and can be used interchangeably most of the time.
However, the condition of these Roman banknotes is not good. Because it is too far away from the Great Lakes region, the core area of Rome in the New World. The banknotes in front of me didn't know how many times they circulated before they crossed the New World and reached Shangluo's hands.
【Actually, this is a good thing. ] Apollonia said in her pocket, [If you run to the neutral zone with a lot of 'Chenian Currency', you will be easily spotted. And the coins you have are too new. 】
"I can't help it. These are new coins minted directly in Nanjing. Those sent overseas as military pay have not been circulated in the region."
[I suggest you try to find this new money as much as possible. After getting off the bus, go find a vending machine. 】
"Where can I find a vending machine that charges one or two cents?"
[Yes, small steel ball machine. When I went to Las Vegas last time, you could directly put a tael of silver into the machine where you buy small steel balls, and a large pot of steel balls would come out. When you go to Las Vegas, you also want to play with those machines, right? Not having to face each other is definitely safer. 】
"Tsk, you're really uncreative." Shangluo shook his head, "How much money can you make by gambling? If we want to do it, we can do it with a big vote. In addition, you have to put in a lot of effort. The explosion was caused by us together, and you must also be responsible. of."
【Let me say it first! I can't help you rob a bank! And don’t pass the blame! I told you to stop at that time, but you were the one who insisted on knocking down the hammer! 】
"That hammer is still on my body. Strangely enough, after I hit you once, that little hammer gave me a special feeling - as if it could break you open if it hit you again. It Now I am very confident, and I am always eager to smash you. Since it is not your intention to fix you, how about I restore you? I will 'lift' out the nails that were set in."
[No, no, no, forget it, forget it. 】
"So this hammer can really knock you open? Let me try?" Shangluo picked up the hammer.
[Hey, I was tricked by you. Your intuition is very accurate. The hammer has touched the body of the divine machine and has now been 'consecrated'. It had wounded the god's machine once, so it could damage it a second time - just like the spear of Longinus, it was also stained with the blood of the god. 】
"Then what do I mean? Hammer of Apollonia?"
[It is more appropriate to call it Shangluo Hammer, because Longinus is the name of a soldier... Damn you, what did I say, you got me into it. I'm not dead yet. That hammer can't kill me, it can only hurt me. Most likely it can also damage other divine machines, theoretically it can. I have a hunch that this thing can penetrate the shell of the divine machine and directly injure it... Ouch! You're so tough! 】
Shangluo picked up the hammer and struck it gently again.
[You’re still knocking! You still knock! My whole world is shaking you know what! 】
"Sorry, sorry, I'm short on manpower, just bear with it." He said this, but he had no intention of apologizing at all.
"Do you think this hammer can be used to rob a bank?"
[No, this hammer is only for special attacks against divine machines. It is still just a small hammer for things other than divine machines. Are you really planning to rob a bank? It is indeed faster to go directly to grab gambling funds than to go to the gambling table. 】
"Maybe I will go. But there is a way that is faster than robbing money. You have to do it yourself, but if I know everything and know everything, then someone will naturally send me the money. "
He nodded secretly and put the hammer into his pocket so that it could be taken out at any time.
Next time there is a critical moment, this small hammer might come in handy.
