"That grape juice tastes good, but is that Roman too enthusiastic?"
Shangluo recalled the taste just now, and it was indeed a very good taste, because he drank the same at Phaethon's place at that time. Phaethon was an honest man.
[This is what the Romans were like, they lacked foresight. They said what they had to say on the spot. 】
"But he actually has slaves? Photography slaves? Drinking slaves? Is this scientific?"
[Those were actually prisoners of war. The Romans only took prisoners of war as slaves and gladiators, but that’s not important. The important thing is, if you know the 'more' interesting things going on in the big houses in Rome, you might think it's better to poke your eyes out. Although it may seem stupid for the Romans to do this, it was necessary on a macro level - I mean to maintain the appearance of Rome itself, including extravagant life and slavery. Because only in this way can the 'holy edict' of Constantinople be maintained. So this is not science, this is magic,]
"Holy edict? What is that?"
[Um...Sorry, that's all I can't say. Not because I want to keep it a secret from you, but because if I say it, it will leave a mark on the Akashic Records, and the mark will break the seal of Constantinople. I want to ensure that nothing related to the Holy Scriptures appears in the public domain, and I have also sworn to the Great Styx. It was impossible for the short-sighted Roman to know this, because if one more person knew about it, the holy lies would immediately explode in Hagia Sophia. 】
"A memetic weapon?"
[I can't say more, not a word. But it was one of Rome's three occult centers - Constantinople for theurgy, Alexandria for alchemy, and Delphi for astrology. And three secondary centers: Syracuse for physics, the Roman city of sociology, and the ideal city where all 'practices' are brought together: New Antioch in America. 】
"So...that guy just now is one-sixth of Rome?"
[Yes, you see the Romans who appear on the side of 'supernatural powers', and they are also the actual rulers of Rome. However, they themselves did not realize that this was deliberately shaped, and they themselves enjoyed this decadent ecstasy. To put it another way, when you go to Alexandria, you might see a paranoia about alchemy. And in New Antioch, you can meet engineering madmen who are moving forward. They cut themselves into six branch empires with three masters and three auxiliaries. At the same time, they broke through the six ultimate fields of knowledge to avoid any path that would lead to a dead end and lead to the demise of the entire empire. 】
"So...what would happen if I woke up the guy from before?"
【伱referring to the sacred secret on the side of breaking the magical power? Something terrible would happen, probably the Hagia Sophia would explode directly. And it's not that easy to break. You have to have your own epiphany, and I can't tell you. At least not now; now, it is better to prepare to meet Dao Ancestor. If possible, I also have something to ask him. 】
...
Wuyi Lane is a relatively quiet place in Confucius Temple. Turning into the capillary-like alley, he found the door of 16-2 facing the street sign.
As a fifth-grade Thousand Household, Lu Huaiyang's home looks very grand. It actually occupies two squares and has a homestead of 160 square meters.
Considering the land price here, it was indeed outrageous for the Wei Institute to grant him two plots.
However, although there are two plots of land, the house still only occupies one piece of land, and the other side is empty and is only surrounded by a wall to form a yard. The door opens to the side with the yard.
Shangluo stood at the door, leaning his spear to one side before ringing the doorbell - it seemed impolite to ring the doorbell with a weapon.
"Ding dong." He pressed the doorbell, and someone in the yard immediately responded:
"who?"
It was a girl's voice, she sounded about the same age as him.
Shangluo remembered that this was Lu Huaiyang's daughter, named Lu Liang, the one who kicked three times in one second.
"Ah...Is Lu Qianhu at home? He asked me to come this morning."
"Shangluo, right? My dad said you are coming, please wait a moment."
The door opens from within. Lu Liang appeared behind the door. Wearing only a slim-fitting sports vest, the long-sleeved sportswear was tied casually around the waist. The ponytail tied around his head was a little scattered, and there was some sweat on his forehead and shoulders. The exposed shoulders show streamlined lines - muscles. It doesn't look exaggerated, but looks full and well-proportioned muscles. She had obviously been exercising just now, and the white towel hanging around her neck was slightly soaked.
Her legs were wrapped in tracksuits, leaving no outline. But just by looking at the upper body, you can tell how much muscle there is in the clothes.
As expected, he is capable of kicking three times in one second...
Shangluo knew why Wen Yuan was always afraid of her.
"My dad went out temporarily for something. He said that the prison wanted to imprison those Mayans. I won't entertain you. Go into the lobby and sit by yourself. Pour yourself a glass of water."
"Yes..." Shangluo subconsciously followed her order. Because those muscles were so convincing that he couldn't even think about anything else.
"But can I bring something in? It's a weapon."
"Weapons? It's okay. Just bring them in. You'd better take them into the inner room. There's no place to put them outside."
With the consent of the owner of the house, Shangluo entered the door carrying a long gun.
"Hey!" Lu Liang took a step back, "Big gun guy? Which guard? This gun is actually a bit shorter, which is interesting. Can you pass three moves?"
Only then did Shangluo realize that this was not a courtyard at all, but a martial arts arena. There was a row of weapon racks facing the gate, and all kinds of soldiers were lined up in a row like scalpels. In front of the weapons rack are three wooden dummies, divided into upper, middle and lower sections. Each wooden dummy has been beaten out of pulp and is even still glowing.
"No, no, no! I don't know martial arts! I really don't!"
"Really not?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Shangluo nodded quickly.
Lu Liang didn't believe it, so he just stepped forward and squeezed his shoulder. Then he pinched the upper arms, lower arms, chest, under the ribs, all the way to the waist.
"Tsk, it doesn't matter if you don't have true energy, you really haven't practiced at all." She looked very disappointed, "Then please come in."
Shangluo walked inside and sat down in a daze, his head blank.
"It's terrible...It's terrible..." He felt that even Phaethon was not so terrifying. Because Phaethon gave people a sense of stability, but this person always felt that he was stepping forward when he walked, raising his hands to wipe sweat, and assuming an attacking posture. There is no sense of distance in any sense.
[This girl... is so amazing. There is only a low concentration of phlogiston in her body, but her strength level is enough to be selected into the Roman Imperial Army. 】
"Are all the Jin Yiwei monsters? What level is Wen Yuan in?"
[Wen Yuan's strength is more restrained and very flexible, but he does not have such strong muscle strength. 】
While he was talking, the muffled sound of wooden mannequins could be heard outside. As if being hit by a machine gun, the three muffled blasts of the wooden dummy were almost continuous. Three strikes followed by three more.
"This is that..." He quietly walked behind the door of the inner room and looked out. Lu Liang's posture was very small, but his kicks were very fast. The three legs kicked the lower, middle and upper sections respectively, and the three sections of the wooden dummy began to circle almost at the same time.
[Four kicks... not three. Kicked twice in the upper section. I take back what I said, she is not worthy of being selected into the Roman Imperial Army. She could just go and be a centurion. 】
