"Is she saying that she doesn't like my father?"
"Yeah." Shangluo nodded.
"You know it when you think about it. Although it helps her become a god, it is equivalent to sending her to the list of gods and becoming a Yin god. No matter how you think about it, she is a bad person."
"I probably know why he is like this." Shangluo's perspective is more clear - Helios's divinity and humanity are always at war, and only very rarely does he think in terms of divinity and humanity at the same time. Apart from carrying the same promise and cause and effect, it can hardly be seen as a decision made by one person.
"However." Shangluo still had something he didn't understand. "Is there anything wrong with the title Pythia? Why doesn't Apollonia want to mention it?"
"Really?" Phaethon touched his head, "She wasn't like this before. She thought Pythia was very powerful from the beginning, super powerful, and there was no reason not to tell her. Is she only like this to you?"
Phaethon thought for a while: "Ah, I know why. In fact, although the position of Pythia is sacred, it often does not symbolize power. Because being selected as the priest king of Pythia, one will know how to do it since childhood. He was locked up in a small house and educated. He couldn't read or read, and he didn't go anywhere, and he wasn't allowed to look anywhere. This was to prevent Pythia, as the priest king, from really becoming the emperor of the Greek world. If you continue to be educated like this, even the smartest children will look relatively simple. Well, relatively simple. So Pythia is sometimes synonymous with simplicity."
Shangluo touched his chin: "You mean, people who become Pythia sometimes make people feel stupid?"
【Ah ah ah ah! say no more! say no more! I want society to die! 】
"No, no, no, that's what you said." As if sensing something, Phaethon hurriedly changed his words, "We call this simplicity, and it's you who said 'stupid'. Although it is true that Apollonia has not been seen much. We passed outside, so forget it, don’t talk about it anymore, it’s getting darker and darker.”
"I know, the Holy Essence is still the same as before. Well, the Holy Essence is still the same as before." He said seriously, but he still didn't hold back, "Pfft~ No wonder I always get so angry when I hit the sore point of 'Ben Ben' repeatedly in the past two days."
【Hello! You just said you couldn’t make fun of me! 】
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Shangluo took a sip of water, but he still couldn't lower the corners of his mouth.
"By the way, Miss Phaethon, you seem to know a lot about the lighthouse project?"
"I am one of the core participants, of course I know. If you saw the lighthouse system, you should have heard the system prompts, right? Did you recognize that it was my voice?"
"I didn't hear it at first. I heard it later after someone reminded me."
"Because he was a few years younger than he is now, and his voice was relatively immature."
"Since you are an in-depth participant in the Lighthouse Project, everything is easy to say. As I said before, you want to exchange for your father's 'golden elixir', right? And, you want to continue to help Rome complete its ascension. Now there is a A great opportunity is in front of you: we are on the same path as Rome's ascension plan, and I am responsible for promoting it on our side. So, if you are willing to work for me and accept my employment, I can Pay you.”
"Oh!!! Great. This couldn't be better. I used to feel a little guilty here for the holidays, but now I feel much more comfortable. So, how much salary are you going to pay me?"
Shangluo stretched out two fingers.
"2,000 drachmas? No, no, no, that's too much. 1,000 is enough."
"I have two things to say and I don't know what to say. First of all, 2,000 drachmas are worthless now. Secondly, I don't want to give you a drachma. I want to give you 2 taels of silver."
"Wait a minute." She was stunned for a moment, "This doesn't seem right, it doesn't seem right. It's too little! I am..."
"What are you? You are not a demigod now."
"I carry a lot of top secrets with me."
"Then go ahead. Who are you going to talk to? Are you going to sell on the street?"
"."
"So you don't have anywhere to work except for me, right? Or do you plan to go back on your own? It's not impossible. If you think you can end your vacation now, you can go back and eat pomegranate seeds and olives."
"I just want to ask, are you still angry and are you taking revenge on me?"
"No, no, no, that's not the case. There is no enmity between the two of us, and we don't owe anything now. I am giving you 2 taels because I have no funds at all now. Even I use my salary account at home. I have to pay for food - but after all, it’s not my money, I have to save some money.”
"No matter how much you say, 2 taels won't be enough, right?"
"Are you going to live out?"
"No, I'll just stay at your house. After all, I don't really want to go anywhere else right now. It's nice here."
"Then you don't have to spend money on food and accommodation. The two taels are just pocket money. It's more than my pocket money. I can't spend that much every month."
"But no matter what, 2 taels is too little. I work here to trade with you to get my father's heart back in the future. How can 2 taels a month be enough? Even if I work for you for 10 years, it will only be 240 Two, do you think my 10 years are worth this amount? Or are you going to show mercy and give me my father's heart for a few hundred taels?"
"So my proposal also contains the other half - after our plan is successfully implemented, I will be the first to give you a salary increase! As long as you have confidence in the future of mankind, this is a job with a bright future, isn't it! Look at the future, Miss Phaethon. White holes, white tomorrows await us."
[That’s it, Gu Gu Gu. Come and eat some pie, girl. 】
"Are you drawing cakes for me? This is called drawing cakes to satisfy hunger, right?"
"Tsk, you saw through it." Shangluo was a little disappointed.
"Please, Brother Shangluo, Romans like us have all taken the 'Academic Sinian Language' course, which is compulsory education. Of course I know the allusion of drawing cakes to satisfy hunger, but it's not impossible. Just 2 taels."
"Why, are you willing to eat this cake?"
"I don't have any other choice at all, right? Why are you like my father, always trying to trick people with reasons you can't refuse? I'm afraid it's because you've eaten too much."
"I didn't eat your father's divinity directly. It was refined. The part I ate only had power and was non-toxic and harmless to me. Well, but since you agreed, let me explain the work content. .”
"Where are we working?"
"Here you are, the key." Shangluo handed over the key to the office. "There is only one for now. I haven't gone to see it on site yet, but it's a good place inside the Grand Palace. I'll go meet Daozu tomorrow morning, and then you Go clean the office and treat it as land reclamation."
"Is there anyone else in our office?"
"There will be a few more people who are my friends and teammates. Counting you, we should have 5 people now. Counting Apollonia, there are 6, which is quite complete. I will discuss the specific plan with Daozu tomorrow morning It can be decided later. Don’t worry about it for now, just go sweep the floor.”
