Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1036 Dragon Palace
[So this person was kicked out. 】

"And what are your plans for life ashore?"

"I don't know." She shook her head. "My father gave me a treasure map and told me to just use it."

As she spoke, she pulled out a black metal card from her waist bag.

[Wow! This is... This is a debit card! And it’s black! ]

"Debit card? What is that?" Shangluo asked Apollonia.

[It is a metal card issued by some large banks with consumer credit function - a credit card. If it is black, the credit limit of this card is almost unlimited, because only a few selected customers can have it. Correspondingly, this card can only be used in a few occasions, because not all places can authenticate such a debit card. ]

"Is it something like this? Isn't that a problem? Where is she going to spend it?"

[It's not that troublesome. At least places like Jinling Hotel definitely support it. After handing the debit card to the front desk for verification, she can stay there as long as she wants.]

Shangluo nodded and explained to Yiji: "If you have that card, you can live here."

"Really?" She looked at the card. "But I don't know how to use it. And during the investigation, I can't come into contact with other people from the Dragon Palace. These guards can only send me here - if possible, can I accept your help?"

[Eh? Something's wrong with her! She obviously has countless ways to settle herself, why did she have to choose the path of 'asking for help'? This is wrong! Does she really not know anything? ]

"Well," Shangluo thought for a moment, "It's not impossible. How about I put you in a hotel?"

"Then could you go with me?"

[Why does she need you to accompany her in everything?! How come she is even more clingy than Victoria? ]

"Calm down. She just needs help. I'll be her guide and help her settle down."

[I advise you to calm down. Don't be fooled by the fact that this silver tights outlines the human figure. In fact, she is not even a mammal. She is a dragon wearing a dragon ball! Her body may be dozens of meters long, and her claws are bigger than you. You are not interested in giant beasts other than humans, right? ]

"Ah this. No, no."

[Your heartbeat is speeding up? No way! She's not even a white-haired dragon lady, she has black hair. Why are you?]

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and an illusion flashed across Otohime's head—it was white hair.

[Wow! Your heartbeat! Are you really not going to let go of the white-haired dragon girl? And why did you turn into white hair at this time? ]

"Um." Shangluo asked tentatively, "I say, Miss Yiji, your hair seems to have changed color just now."

"Really?" She tried to touch her head. "I've been in the sun for a long time. The foam camouflage seems to be losing its effect. Should I wear a helmet as well?"

"Wait, what happens if it fails?"

"I will be transformed into a dragon." Otohime answered, "Dragons are our true selves. I can use my human body because of the power of the dragon balls. However, the dragon balls are just illusions, and bubbles are very fragile. If I stay in the sun for too long, I might change back."

She has always been open and honest about Shangluo's problems. She has a lot to say and is quite detailed when introducing them, but it is difficult to sense any emotional fluctuations from them.

Even though she was actually "kicked out of the house" temporarily, she just felt that this situation caused her trouble. She was calm as if this was not happening to her.

[Exactly the same. She is exactly the same as Xiao Hong. Sometimes she is terrifyingly calm, and often speaks lewd words. And from time to time, violent and wild power leaks out from under her beautiful appearance. Hey, hey, hey, do you really like this one? ]

"No no"

[You're still saying no?! Your behavior now is exactly the same as when you saw Xiao Hong.]

"Well." He looked at Otohime, "If nothing else, how about I take you to find a place to live now?" "Thank you very much." Otohime responded with a standard bow, as if she had practiced it countless times.

【.】Apollonia covered her eyes. She discovered something strange. Shangluo was restrained towards Phaethon and even towards other people. But for Xiaohong, a strange creature full of power and not even human, he did not hide his love for her. This was even different from the feeling of seeing Ms. Agatha.

So what do you like?

"This is a dragon! If only I could ride a dragon..."

[So you want to ride, right?! You want to be a dragon rider? ]

"Isn't it cool? Being friends with a dragon is so cool." As he said that, he held Otohime's hand, led her to sit in the back seat of Grani, and got in from the other side.

"Hmm?" As soon as she got in the car, Yiji looked towards the direction of Shangluo.

"Is there anything wrong?" Shangluo asked.

"Is there something blocking us?"

[Ahaha! I knew it. The intuition of these two is equally accurate. It is the intuition of the beast.]

"That's not a thing. That's mine."

"Is it your familiar?"

【???】Apollonia was stunned for a moment, 【How does she know about familiars? Wait, their flying saucer was still performing sympathetic jumps before. Is there any technology exchange between the Dragon Palace and Rome? I don’t understand.】

"In fact, I also think that the technical route of Dragon Palace seems a bit weird."

Whether it's the sci-fi outfit or the classic flying saucer with a beam of light, without exception, they don't seem to belong to this era.

Although it has similarities with Rome, it is obviously completely different from Rome.

"Come to think of it, I really don't know the details of the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Palace has no intention of explaining it. It seems that they are also trying to hide something from me."

【What are you going to do then? 】

"If they intend to hide it, I won't be able to find out even if I ask them. It's better to observe slowly. Grani, take us to Jinling Hotel."

At the front desk of Jinling Hotel, Shangluo took the debit card handed to him by Yiji.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The lady at the front desk paused for a moment on the card number on the black card in Shangluo's hand, then immediately returned to her original position, "Welcome to Jinling Hotel. What service can I provide for you?"

"Please arrange a guest room for me."

"Okay. Please wait a moment, I'll arrange it for you." The lady at the front desk took the card to the counter, picked it up and looked at it carefully, then dialed the number.

"Eh? Aren't you going to ask me what type of room I want?"

Before the call was hung up, the lady at the front desk suddenly pressed a red button on the corner of the desk. A low alarm like a bumblebee rang from a distance. Without disturbing the guests, more than 20 security guards rushed out at the same time:
"It's him!" The receptionist pointed at Shangluo and stepped back suddenly, "He was the one who swiped the lost card!"

"???" Shangluo turned around suddenly, "Where did this card come from?"

"I guess I picked it up." Otohime thought for a moment, "There are a lot of things that fall into the sea. Anyway, what falls into the sea belongs to the Dragon King. Is there anything wrong with that?"
