Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1040: Dragon Palace Food
"Do you know why we didn't include Atlantis when we counted the six Romes? Because Atlantis does not belong to Rome. The 'mystery of Atlantis' is to us what the 'mystery of the Dragon Palace' is to you, a super double."

[Wait, she is speaking academic Aurora, which is a little hard to understand because it emphasizes instrumentality. I will translate it for you in spoken language - you don't quite understand what the Dragon Palace is doing, right? Not only does Rome not understand what Atlantis is doing, it doesn't even know what Atlantis is. ]

"???"

"Lady Apollonia's explanation is correct." Agatha nodded helplessly, "Until Rome was about to fall, we didn't know where Atlantis was, or what they did."

"So how do you cooperate with each other?"

"We will select people to enter the Atlantis Fortress, but that means they will be permanently cut off from the shore. We believe that Atlantis is made up of batches of 'dead drowned'. They performed a death ritual when they left the shore, symbolizing that they severed all ties with the world and plunged into Atlantis. Although there will be no communication, Atlantis has been cooperating with us tacitly."

"Now that you mention it, I don't know where the Dragon Palace City is either."

"But," Agatha emphasized, "Dragon Palace has a regular connection with Atlantis."

"???"

"Yes. Unlike us, Atlantis did not keep the Dragon Palace secret. They established normal diplomatic relations with each other as 'undersea countries'. As far as I know, many devices in the Dragon Palace come from Atlantis technology, and vice versa."

"So they know each other! So, how much do you know about their relationship?"

Agatha shook her head slightly: "We know nothing."

"Then you don't plan to figure it out? I want to call and ask what the Dragon King is doing now."

"We have no motive to do so. Because according to our Greek worldview, this world is ruled by Zeus in the sky, Poseidon in the sea, and Hades in the underworld. The three realms are independent of each other. Even Zeus must follow the rules of the underworld, and the sea also has its own sovereignty. They are the unshakable laws of nature, and not even Olympus can shake the will of the sea. But in general, the sea and the land both respect the common Mount Olympus. But similarly, Poseidon, who rules the sea, does not always go to Mount Olympus for meetings."

"Come to think of it, we seem to be somewhat similar?"

"So, Mr. Shangluo, have you ever considered digging deeper into the Dragon Palace?"

"If it's related to the mission, I will. It just so happens that our current actions have a common purpose with the Dragon Palace, and we will know then. After all, the Dragon Palace is not Atlantis. The Dragon Palace is clearly the emperor's minister. The minister is not a courtier, but the minister still serves the emperor."

[The deep sea is really hard to fathom.] Apollonia sighed, [I can see that in your place, humans have already reached the vast deep space, but still know very little about the ocean beneath our feet. Exploring the deep sea is no easier than exploring deep space. From this perspective, there is no difference between underwater people and aliens. Even if they live on the same earth, there probably won't be much overlap between land and the seabed.]

"But the Dragon King seems very different now?"

[Well, that's true. Isn't this Dragon King too 'lively' now? Not only did he start a company, he also interacted with you and even put his own daughter in prison. It really is like he is actively trying to reveal his own mystery.]

"But the matter of the [Longyin Case] ​​is still unclear."

[You are planning to send food to Miss Otohime just for this, to learn more about the Ryugu Palace, right? ]

"Not really. The main reason is that I can't stand seeing others starving. Eating the fasting pills in there is a bit too much torture, so I'd better send her some prison food from time to time. I don't have time to send it every day, but I can give her some every now and then."

【By the way, can you tell me the situation? 】

"Why do you always make amends for me?" [Doesn't this make you seem more kindhearted, and have influenced even a petty-minded Greek god like me to become more tolerant and generous?]

"Tsk, do you have any objection?"

[No, no. It's just that I really want to see you as a dragon rider.]

"How is it? Is it delicious?" After a while, the sausages were fried, and as said before, Shangluo was the first to eat it.

The pig blood sausage was still bloody even after it was fried. It was just bright red before, but now it was purple-black.

Through the casing, you can see that the purple-black blood sausage has pig blood that has been fried into flocs, as well as finely chopped fat and lean meat, and offal such as pig stomach that were mixed in before, as well as onions and other spices used to remove the fishy smell.

When it was served to Shangluo, the blood sausage had already been cut.

The cut surface is smooth, and the casing is filled with pig blood. There are white, marble-like lines on the cut surface, which are the fat that was previously filled in.

After cutting it open, the meat and internal organs are not so obvious except for the fat.

"Do you need any dip?"

“No dipping sauce is usually needed because it will be roasted together with the apples. When the roasting is complete and the dish is served, you can eat it with the apples.”

"Then I'll try the dry food." Shangluo picked up a chopstick -

"Hmm" He chewed while looking up at the ceiling to think of words.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"The texture was different from what I expected. The sausages I eat are usually chewy. But this one broke apart as soon as I bit into it, which surprised me. But the taste was still good. The flavor of the meat and the spices were mixed very well, and they spread in my mouth after one bite. The delicate texture was also easy to chew, and the whole mouth could taste the flavor of the gravy, which was very satisfying. Moreover, it seemed to be easy to digest."

[Wow, you really gave her face. I thought you were just going to say whether it tasted good or not, but I didn't expect you to be able to explain it in such a clear and logical way.]

"Since you want me to 'taste' it, I will speak according to the standard of 'tasting'."

"Shangluo, do you think this can be given to everyone to eat?" The excited Phaethon was eager to present the treasure.

"You know what, this flavor, I think it can be sold here too - we also have blood sausage here."

"What about Miss Otohime?"

"Then she might like it more. She might even want to eat it raw, to retain more of the original taste of blood. Because I heard that the sacrifice to the Dragon Palace requires blood food - but this is not necessary, just let her eat the same as everyone else. I wonder if Miss Otohime can be moved, and it would be best if she could burst into tears and spit out all the news like spitting out sand."
