Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1015 Victoria's Plan

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

"What about low emotional intelligence?" Victoria asked in a low voice.

[Don't let him find an opportunity. If he finds an opportunity, he will beat him to death. That's why he said just now that it doesn't matter if you nag him, but if you dare to actually plot, the inner guards will come to your house, and the Jinyiwei will also go with you to confiscate your house - he is a person who values ​​order very much. But within the framework of order, his kindness and hostility have no bottom line. ]

"I have no objection to this evaluation," Shangluo replied. "In my opinion, there is no difference between people who do the wrong thing with good intentions and people who are evil and premeditated. The former are even more harmful because they are harder to detect. I don't judge good and evil. The specific sentencing is the court's business. All I have to do is to ensure that all power stays where it should be and does not appear in the hands of people who should not be there. I will do everything I can to ensure that the sun will rise as usual tomorrow."

"Your political wisdom is as profound as Octavian's! Oh no, Octavian's greatness is not even 40% of yours."

[Isn't what I said able to stop you from having delusions about her? Well, it's up to you.]

"I'm surprised you didn't stop her?" Shangluo asked in private, "This is not like you. Victoria is not your relative."

[Because Victoria really needs you now. She is one of my few friends. Without your help, she will definitely face an unfortunate fate. Of course, this does not mean that I will let my guard down. I just know that you will never take advantage of others in distress.]

"Oh~~ is it true?" Victoria suddenly said, "I really like you two more and more! And, and Phaethon! It's great to meet you!"

[As expected. You can hear even private chats, right? Victoria, your power is growing day by day.]

"By the way, Victoria, do you want to have a midnight snack? Actually, there is still a lot of braised pig's face, and some parts have not been served after the food was distributed. If you don't mind, why don't you eat something before going to bed?"

"Okay~~"

Watching Victoria, who had eaten her fill, walk into the painting, Shangluo turned off the lights in the living room.

【She went to sleep. I could feel that she couldn't hear us talking.】

"She has really become a lot stronger."

[As the boundaries of her self dissolve, the emperor's rule in her is constantly being revealed. She is the pinnacle of the mysterious feudal system, but she is unable to show it due to her personal characteristics.]

"She has too many responsibilities, and she should have been given the power to match them. Otherwise, the throne would have become a pure torture device. I even had to readjust Mr. Agathocles's evaluation of me. If he gave the throne to his daughter just to pass the buck, it would be too unlike what a father should do. If there is power accompanying it, it is understandable. But."

[But if this power comes, it will cause your self-consciousness to dissolve, which is probably not what you expected. ]

"I don't think this is what Lord Agathocles wants. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his daughter come to us for treatment. But this situation is really tricky."

Shangluo sorted out the problems Victoria was facing now——

It seems that many questions point to one point: where exactly did Victoria eat the "Fujian Mapo Tofu"?

【That makes sense. Victoria's current condition is obviously beyond the expectations of Lord Agathocles. Logically, her self-awareness should not be weakened so quickly. It has only been a few months since we last met, and her current condition is like the needle of a pressure cooker. Moreover, after seeing us, her condition seems to have worsened. The course of the disease that originally took a day to complete now seems to be completed in a few hours.】

"And she's gotten stronger. She couldn't hear us at first."

[Yes] Apollonia agreed, [I can't guarantee that she can go through several more cycles of deterioration like this. We have to act faster, for your girlfriend.] "For the legacy of the Roman Empire."

[Tsk, which one is more important in your eyes? If Victoria and the Roman Empire fell into the water, which one would you save first? ]

"I'm not a weightlifting champion! The two capitals and thirteen provinces are already heavy enough, and you want me to carry four more Romes, right? Do you think I'm Atlas? Did I offend someone to be punished to carry the sky?"

[Ah, so you will choose to save Victoria, right? ]

"Miss Apollonia, wise, don't play tricks on me. If we save the land but lose the people, we will lose both the land and the people. If we save the people but lose the land, we will save both the land and the people. If we lose Victoria, what will happen even if the Roman Empire can transition? Without Victoria, the legitimate monarch, to maintain supervision of the entire process, the transfer of power between us and Rome will never be completed smoothly."

[Ah, I understand. You found a reason to love her, right? Tsk tsk tsk, you are such a reasonable person. ]

"If you don't like it, I can restrain myself."

[Wow! You have learned to come back now, right? Shouldn't I be the one to say this kind of moral kidnapping? ]

"Calm down, both of you." Phaethon pushed open the door and came back from outside. "When can you two act like adults and stop quarreling after just a few words? Shangluo, the intelligence has been delivered."

After Phaethon entered, the sound of a vehicle leaving was heard at the door - Grani had just gone to the Imperial Prison again. In addition to collecting the lunch boxes from the Jinling Hotel, he also delivered information on the interrogation of "Miss Teng" in the basement.

【What does it say above? 】

"Interesting. So that's how it is. Is the situation different from what I thought?"

【How to say? 】

Phaethon beside him lowered his voice: "Japan has lost contact."

[Huh? What's going on? ]

Shangluo quickly turned to the last page of the report and put it back into the paper bag:

"Thinking about Miss Satou's situation, it's really despairing. She did receive an order from Japan, but there was no response to the order sent back. All her connections with Japan have been completely severed since a while ago. Even their entire intelligence network has been cut off from Japan."

[Huh?] This situation surprised Apollonia. [How could a country with more than 100 million people lose contact?]

"The Imperial Guards said they were in contact through official channels. In fact, a telegram was sent two hours ago, but there was no reply at all. The key to this problem is that because Japan is closed to the outside world, we don't even know when Japan lost contact. But..."

【but? 】

"But when the tribute comes, everything will be known." Shangluo shook his head, "The day is coming soon. If they don't come when the tribute comes, this matter will be completely made public."
