"You want to take the class in the car? Very good, that's just right."
"Did he not eat in the morning? Isn't he going to be hungry if he doesn't eat until now? Can he have some during the afternoon tea later?"
"No." Lu Huaiyang shook his head, "He is in danger now. We plan to temporarily increase his strength, but before that, he needs to be empty. He can't eat anything. Is he very hungry?"
"He seems a little hungry. In order to finish the class, is there anything that can hold him up for a while?"
"That's true." Lu Huaiyang turned back to find Shangluo's location and handed him an oil paper bag that had been prepared long ago.
He held the oil paper bag and sat in the box. He and Titus were the only two people left in the box. Tea and refreshments have been set up in the box, including a cup of strong tea and 4 butter snails - butter snails were a food suitable for feeding the Romans, a unique dessert filled with spiral-shaped puff pastry. Cream is called "cream puff" in Rome. The Romans would have been satisfied as long as they had snails soaked in butter and strong tea.
Seeing the snacks on the table, even the Roman defender will smile.
The other person had already eaten, and Shangluo also opened the oil paper package handed to him by Lu Huaiyang.
He was also very surprised when he opened it - it should be in the inediate stage now. It’s okay to eat fairy root radish during the inedia stage, but what else can you eat?
After opening it, he understood.
Wrapped inside the oil paper bag was a transparent ampoule with five words written on the label: Glucose solution.
"Hehe. Hehehehe, what a cold joke. You need to eat glucose during the inedia period, right?"
[Theoretically, this is very scientific. Glucose will be quickly digested and absorbed after entering the stomach, and will not destroy the results of your previous fast. Isn’t this very humane? 】
"It's so humane." He reluctantly opened the ampoule, made sure there was no glass, then raised his head and drank all the glucose.
I have to say, it’s really the same as eating nothing. But my mind seems to be much clearer than before.
"By the way, Apollonia, is this guy reliable?"
[The trained inner guards are as reliable as the Jinyi guards, so you can rest assured. It is perfect for them to take this 'occult defense class' because they have the richest practical experience in occult. 】
"All right."
He watched Titus across from him finish eating four butter-soaked snails, and then watched him finish drinking tea.
"Huh then, the class begins."
After eating and drinking, Titus sat up straight. He first took out a small light bulb from his bag.
That thing looked very strange at first glance, with its surface showing various colors and black. It was hard for him to imagine that he could read so many things from "Black" with just one glance.
【ah! is that one! It turns out they really did it! 】
"Which one?"
While speaking, Titus had already stood up. He held the light bulb against the ceiling and twisted it hard.
With a bang, the whole room went dark. Darkness as thick as oil came down and enveloped the entire table.
"Okay." He clapped his hands and sat down.
Seemingly seeing Shangluo's doubts, he explained:
"This is a black light, used to create a small artificial night, an inconspicuous gadget. Unlike Cathay, which seeks the origin of the inner sage inwardly, the Roman path extends outward. We strive to See the six ultimates of the universe to achieve the perfect kingdom of light."
"Oh~ this thing is so interesting."
"This kind of little toy is just scratching the surface compared to the magic of Cathay. The manufacturing method has been shared with you at the 'Technical Synchronization Meeting' held in Alexandria. But you don't seem too interested. It shouldn't be of much use to you. But it is very useful to us, because night will only fall after dark. With a black light, we can create a small night in any secret room that is not directly exposed to the sun. Well, it's very Handy gizmo.”
Shangluo tried to raise his head. Sure enough, this small light bulb can only create a "small" cone-shaped night. As soon as he looked up, the night was gone. Looking from the outside in, this scene is a bit strange - as if a piece of space has been "deducted", a standard cone appears within the range covered by the black light, and all the details inside are shrouded in the dark night.
Lowering his head, he entered the night again.
"Okay, let's start class." Titus snapped his fingers in the dark night. A small warm flame appeared between the two of them, illuminating the small tabletop and the half cup of strong tea that had not been finished.
Yet there is more than just a flame. Where the wall used to be on the side, a picture now appeared with the words "Occult Defense Class" written on it.
Shangluo understood now that he had to draw the curtains before showing the movie.
"It's really convenient." Titus himself sighed. "In the past, such an arrangement could only be done at night. At that time, we had to get up at the same time as the owl during class. Now just light a light bulb. The development of the times is still It's really fast. So, the technique you are seeing now is an imitation of 'movie projection'. You can just play the film, but now it is projecting the picture I need."
He snapped his fingers again, and the screen jumped back one frame: What is the Occult Defense Class?
A line of words appeared on the screen.
"So, little brother Shangluo, tell me first, what do you think of the occult defense class?"
"To protect against threats in the dark? For example, arrange mirrors carefully at home, such as not arranging furniture at sharp angles. Or, hang a mahogany sword at home?"
"No, neither." Titus snapped his fingers - the entire scene was burned to the ground.
"Occult defense does not exist at all! The reason I have just said is: a wise man must be careless. Limited consciousness simply cannot compete with infinite mystery. In a place shrouded in mystery, every move you make, even every move A single word may trigger a terrible chain reaction. Therefore, it is impossible to defend against it! The only way is to take the initiative to attack, attack, and attack again! Use attack instead of defense. Only by constantly clearing out the eyes peeping in the dark night can we Ensure the safety of mankind. Just as Cathay plows its courts and clears its holes, Rome’s reconquests never stop. So.”
He paused: "I came to you specifically today because I actually want to ask you for a favor. You may have heard some clues last night: Our operations on the shores of Lake Nemi have encountered a major setback. Delphi's Apprentice No one has successfully crossed the barrier of night and reached the 'Forest of Ritual'. The Golden Bough has sprouted again, and we must complete this hero's tour and capture the Golden Bough. If we succeed, then you can bring the Golden Bough back. If I remember correctly If so, the Golden Bough is treated as a fairy root spiritual object here in Cathay. It can be used to make elixirs."
