Caesar's procession disappeared at the end of the street, and the sound of the horns fell silent with his disappearance. These trumpets are not transmitted like real sounds and can only be heard at the ceremony site.
Petals fell on the back of Titus' hand. He sniffed it, and the expression on his face became complicated. Although it was not as if he was facing a powerful enemy or fearful, he was not happy at all.
"Then, our tour continues, there is still some time before dawn. Let's go to the next stop."
Before he finished speaking, a phone rang from a public phone booth behind him.
"Sorry, you are looking for me. Please wait here and don't wander around."
Although it was a public phone booth, he immediately judged that the "sympathetic connection" was directed to him.
Without any time to explain, he entered the phone booth.
[Hey, do you want to listen? ] Apollonia asked.
"Can you turn the signal over?"
[Of course it’s not possible to turn it over directly. Observation of sympathetic communication amounts to interception, which can only be absolutely encrypted from end-to-end, human-to-human. But I can relay it to you, because I am not a human being, hehe. I still have a lot of tricks to deal with these Roman techniques. Let me hear what they're saying. Ahem. 】
Apollonia coughed a few times and began to imitate the conversation between the two people:
[Yes, no white cow was found. The triumph was incomplete, but the number of soldiers was increasing. 】
[As a member of the legion, you should know the meaning of the triumphal ceremony - the triumphal ceremony, as the name suggests, is held after victory. So where exactly did Caesar win? Don't you know? 】
[Sorry. If we know, the Senate will inform the Council of Sages in the Muses Palace as soon as possible. 】
[Sages believe that Caesar is the scourge of knowledge. His return might be good for the rest of Rome, but he would probably destroy the Library of Alexandria. If you have the opportunity to contact Caesar, please be sure to explain the situation to him. 】
[But Caesar is currently just a silhouette of himself, unable to accept new experiences. So even if we warned him, he wouldn't be able to get the information. But I will apply to the Senate to send some more internal guards to defend Alexander. But please understand, sages, that the current defense situation everywhere is more tense than before. The changes in the 'Kadesh Battlefield' have not yet been ascertained. 】
[The Battle of Kadesh happened half a year ago, haven’t you finished it yet? 】
【Yes. If we add the work of protecting the Great Library from Caesar, Kadesh's investigation may have to be postponed. 】
[So.] The other end of the phone paused for a while, [The sages believe that the priority should be to ensure the investigation of the 'Kadesh Battlefield'. The possible threat of the Pharaohs is far greater than Caesar. Caesar's question, we will prepare ourselves. But please don't blame us for overreacting. We will use all means to protect the Great Library. 】
[Wait. This is the only thing. Please calm down! The Great Library is important, but so is Caesar to the Empire. Hello? ? Hello? ? 】
[Beep beep beep~] Apollonia imitated the busy tone of the phone, [It seems that our Mr. Crow has been hung up on. 】
"They are really working hard. Are the Muses Palace and the Senate independent of each other?"
[Yes, the six Romes generally operate independently of each other. However, the Senate of Constantinople generally represented the Roman Empire in foreign exchanges, such as diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty and the signing of an alliance with Helios. The Senate was responsible for this. But when it comes to knowledge, not even the Senate can sway the decision of the Muses. The night here is Alexandria night, and different nights have different colors. 】
"Why do I feel like you are introducing some giant theme park? What are other places like?"
[Not to mention, they are indeed very similar and each has its own theme. Alexandria is a historical and cultural theme, New Antioch is a metropolitan theme, and the theme of Rome is festivals and carnivals. Syracuse is where I go on vacation, and there is the beautiful moonlight of Sicily. The most special thing is Constantinople, where day and night are mixed together, because the bright moon always hangs high over Constantinople, regardless of day or night. So day or night, there are silhouettes at work in Constantinople. 】
"Ah, so the reason why Constantinople must remain as it is is to keep day and night consistent?"
【Yes. Because the silhouettes cannot be stimulated by too much information, only the historical aspect remains within the Diodosian walls. So you can also eat the ice cream just now in Constantinople during the day. 】
"What about Delphi? It seems that Delphi has not yet been mentioned."
【Delphi? Gee, that's not a theme park. Delphi sleeps during the day and works at night. To say which one is the best, I still like Alexander's Night. The night here is a time for philosophers to empty their minds, just take out the baklava and eat ice cream. Rest well and face the new day. This is what you should do at night. Of course, staying up late and playing until dawn is also a precious memory of the student days. But now it is almost dawn, and it is almost time for us to go back. 】
"Hello! Hello!" In the phone booth, Titus was still trying to dial. However, the other side seemed to be preparing for the arrival of daytime, and no one came to answer his call.
The eastern sky is gradually turning white. The golden carriage appeared on the horizon, opening the sky of day.
【Here he comes.He comes.】
"who?"
[Ah, the father of your furnace. Look east. 】
Shangluo looked to the east - the sun carriage became increasingly clear. It represents the true nature of the sun. Although it is as dazzling as the real sun, it can surprisingly be seen directly with both eyes. The golden figure drove the carriage, just like every day in the past. Phaethon's "solidification" does not seem to have affected the father's state of mind, and he is still performing his functions.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Go back." Titus walked out of the phone booth. "Sorry, I have to excuse you for a moment. I have to go to the Muses Palace. After I send you back to the Glazed Tower, I will Then turn back. Please tell Lu Qianhu not to worry, I will be back at night in Yujing."
Although the tour was not long, Shangluo felt that the trip was worthwhile - mainly because the ice cream was really delicious. He hadn't finished his ice cream when he reached the jetty.
The sentry let them pass as they had come. However, there was someone ahead of them walking on the breakwater. In the order of first come, first served, they had to wait for those people to come out.
Scholar-looking people walked out of the lighthouse in a row, all wearing white coats, and most of them wearing glasses. After the night's rest, it was time for them to work during the day.
However, to Shangluo, a very familiar figure appeared there and seemed to be walking ahead.
Titus stretched out his hand and asked them to stand back: "Make way for the staff a little. The engineering team of the lighthouse project has come to work. They have brought a lot of equipment. Well, have you seen the guy in front of you? Your fellow countryman, that guy The chief physiognomist, Shang Bufan, was invited from Cathay. Maybe you know him? Oh, by the way, his name is very similar to yours in Shangluo. Is he some kind of relative of yours?"
First update tonight, then third update during the day
