Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1014 Brain
"It turns out that we can exchange a lot of information after meeting each other." On the way back, Victoria felt a joy she hadn't felt in a long time. It's much more fun here than in the palace.

Shangluo and Phaethon also sat in the back seat. Although there were three people in the back seat, the car was so big that they could lie down without any problem.

"But I do have a question," she asked Shangluo, "Does your emperor really like to invite people to dinner?"

“It was also the first day I met him.”

"Me too." Phaethon looked at the window on the other side. "But she is really amazing, much more amazing than Apollonia."

【What does this have to do with me? 】

"The emperor knew we wanted to eat braised pig's face this afternoon and sent a portion to the Royal Guards. You don't even know whether I should step with my left foot or my right foot when I go out."

[I've already told you that I left my brain at home. How can I do mental arithmetic?]

"So you have a brain?"

[How can you say that? I am the Envoy of Wisdom certified by your master. I can be an Envoy of Wisdom even without a brain. If I had a brain, I could do the work of many Envoys.]

"Come to think of it, what's your brain? I find it a pity that you mention it occasionally."

【This is my neural network mapping module. 】

"Her base," Phaethon added.

[Don’t talk about it as if it’s a graphics card dock! ]

"Let me explain." Victoria shook her head. "That is actually Apollonia's throne, the seat of the gods. It is actually a ceremonial temple. According to Aurora, it would be more appropriate to call it a 'spiritual house'. She stayed there when she was in the Divine Domain."

"I have a question," Shangluo asked, "Can the Oracle still operate normally when she is not here?"

"It's not completely normal, but..." Victoria hesitated and said, "It's not necessarily true that it won't work without her. You see, the Oracle has been operating normally."

[This is entirely because the Oracle is now only a mysterious monitoring organization and has lost its ability to predict the future. So it is the same whether I am there or not. When I was born a dozen years ago, I pushed the Oracle's career to the peak. At that time, the Oracle had a tendency to overshadow the Palace of Muses. A large number of phlogiston submarines and Athens' submarine fleet dominated the entire Roman supernatural world.]

"Let me remind you, that was just a flash in the pan. Ever since the Akashic Records were destroyed, the decline of the Oracle was inevitable." Phaethon, who was standing next to him, held his chin in his hand. "As a baby at that time, you did nothing at all. You just 'sat' there. When you really started to grow up and become sensible, that was when the Oracle began to decline."

As a relative, Phaethon ruthlessly exposed Apollonia's true colors.

[Why are you trying to destroy my stage? Why? Woohoo. This is all Shangluo’s fault. And my niece is unfilial. It breaks my heart.]

"What does this have to do with me?!"

"Um," Victoria thought for a moment, "it seems to be related to you. The Akashic Records are the sum of all known information stored in the ether. The code of the Akashic Records was originally only readable by the Oracle or a few people here. But you - let me say first, I haven't confirmed it's you, but judging from the time, there should be a connection - about ten years ago, the content of the Akashic Records suddenly doubled."

[Wow, wow, wow, wow. An unscrupulous DoS attack. The Oracle's computing network was overwhelmed by the flood and has completely dissolved.]

"Then why are we fine?" [How should I know? Maybe you don't like extending your synapses into the Akashic Records, and you only search when you need to. So, not only is your area not affected, but the amount of content you can search has doubled. Damn it, damn it.]

"Then I am the same. I can't help you." Shang Luo spread his hands and said, "It's not my own will. There's nothing I can do."

[Forget it. But don't underestimate me. Although my ability to predict the long-term future has failed, I can still predict my personal destiny. My fortune has been very good recently.]

"But, speaking of which, Shangluo." Victoria suddenly turned around, "It's not that everyone doesn't resent you."

"why?"

"Some people think that if they kill you, the Akashic Records will be restored to their original state."

"Oh my, who is it?"

"A lot of people." Victoria replied, "If necessary, I can ask the internal security to draw up a list for you. Do you want it?"

"That's not necessary for now." Shang Luo shook his head. "I think it's just like someone under Cao Cao defecting to Yuan Shao. In that environment, when a problem arose, the first thing to do was to solve the person who caused the problem. I think this is a very normal idea. I don't really care what they think - but if they really take any action against me, that's another matter."

As he spoke, he looked at Victoria: "So, is there a list of conspirators?"

"Yes, I can help you draft it. But you are the dictator, as a one-man committee, you can order the Internal Guard to investigate on behalf of the Senate."

"Then can I let the Royal Guards and the Internal Guards jointly investigate the case?"

"Yes, of course, and you can rest assured that the Krypteia guards will be loyal and efficient - without exception. And they must all be citizens from the 6666 elder clans, and there will be no barbarians mixed in."

"But aren't those the elders I want to investigate?"

"That's different." Victoria replied, "All the inner guards have gone through the mercury test, and their loyalty is absolute - this is a secret, and I can only tell you when you officially take office. But specifically, the source of the strength of those inner guards is because their power is all in the hands of the emperor. I know this may be a bit cruel, but that's how the Romans are."

Phaethon turned around and said, "So I advise you to get to know him better. This guy might be tougher than you think. He has already taken back his power."

"You have the heart of a Caesar!"

【High emotional intelligence: Your mind is as broad as Caesar’s. 】

"Well, I think this is very reasonable." Shang Luo replied, "Since it is not a power that I have cultivated, then the one who can take it should be the source of the power."

Shangluo answered as a matter of course. This seemed like common sense to him. It was reasonable and logical.

[High emotional intelligence: I am a very reasonable person.]
