Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 709 Bomb N
"So." Phaethon concluded, "To the outside world, Aotearoa is no deterrent. But if you get inside, Aotearoa will eat people, literally. You can eat people without spitting out their bones. So, I think it’s very dangerous and you’d better not go.”

[Actually, my opinion is the same. I was the boss and shouldn't have agreed to it before. It's not too late to regret it now. 】

"But the panda is there." Shangluo shook his head, "Even if I don't go, someone else will go - in other words, if I don't go, then there will be Jin Yiwei who will go in my place. The danger is always there There. If it’s dangerous even for me, wouldn’t it be more dangerous for others? Since everyone has to go, why not go for me – I’m very strong.”

【.】Apolonia paused for a moment, 【Okay. Let's go together. After all, I have received a lot of care, and it is not my style to back off when professionals are needed. How could I cower in front of a mere bomb. But don't worry, although I haven't forgiven you yet, I will protect you. 】

"Ah, you protect me?"

[The body of this alchemist is very powerful. Huh? A call came in. 】

With that said, Shangluo picked up the phone.

"Hello, Shangluo?" Zhu Xianfen said on the other end of the phone, "You don't have to go to New Antioch. The mission is cancelled."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's very dangerous over there. I'll send someone else there, that's it." With that, Zhu Xianfen hung up the phone.

"It's time for him to officially go on a mission. In the imperial examination republic, he is now a scholar and an adult." While he was talking, the phone rang again.

"Okay." Zhu Xianfen sighed, "Whoever's life is his life. Since you want to go, let someone more powerful go. But Shangluo, the first thing you do after you go is to go Check whether the bomb has been defused. If it has not been defused, the operation will be terminated immediately."

"I said it would be better not to let her go. But Huimingshi seems to think..."

"Huh." Zhu Xianfen shook his head, "Let's handle this kind of thing. After all, he is a guest."

"No, no, no." Zhu Xianxian held the phone, "Are the Romans really reliable in doing things? They said they were demolished, maybe they were stolen and transported somewhere. For such a dangerous thing, you just..."

"It's actually been demolished."

"Yes, I know." Shangluo replied, "I made this decision after getting all the information. This is the result of my careful consideration - so, is the bomb still there now? "

"Ah, I feel relieved with your words."

He raised his head and glanced at Lu Huaiyang. Lu Huaiyang remained calm as usual. Although it is true that there is no danger, but even if there is danger, Jin Yiwei will go there without hesitation - but Jin Yiwei's life is also life.

[Well, I got the upper hand. ] Apollonia joined the conversation, [If it’s just for fun, I wouldn’t mind inviting more friends to go with me. But since it's so dangerous, it's better for Zhu Ling to stay at home. And as I said before, there is no need to call other people. I can still protect Shangluo alone, but I may not be able to take care of it if there are more people. 】

"Understood. Don't worry. But..." Shangluo suppressed his voice, "Look, don't let Zhu Ling go this time, right?"

"Then I have to go, right?"

"Yes." Lu Huaiyang nodded, "I have to go. If I can't even protect the panda, what's the point of my face? I'm going to order troops, and Wen Yuan can practice his skills."

"Huh? Shangluo?" Zhu Xianfen picked up the phone, "What. You want to go? I told you, it's very dangerous over there. You'd better not go. Ah, no, no, no, I really don't need you. Go. You are a guest at my second uncle's house, so - eh, forget it, let me tell you the situation in detail. Underneath the new Antioch, there is a memetic weapon named [Aotearoa]. A closed space-time bubble can be created.”

"." Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Why do I feel like a panda?"

"Hey." Zhu Xianfen shook his head, "That's why I feel relieved if you go together. I don't feel comfortable letting anyone go alone. Is it just the two of you?"

【Three. Phaethon also went. ] "Eh???" Phaethon shouted on the other end of the phone, "Why me. I don't want to go, it's very dangerous over there."

【You want to go! 】

"No, I won't go! I know better than anyone how scary that thing is! I also have an old father with dementia at home. Who will take care of him if I get stuck in it? Besides, if you get stuck in it, I can still do it Go back and bring reinforcements. If I fall into it, who will save me? I don’t like to leave my fate in the hands of others."

[Others may not go, but you must go! 】

"Why!"

[Because you led the team to bury the New Antioch one two years ago! 】

"." There was a muffled "bang" sound from the other end of the phone, as if his head was hitting something, and it was hitting "bang bang bang" over and over again, "If it's going to be demolished, why bother burying it in the first place!"

"Um," Zhu Xianxian whispered, "So, you three, have you decided? How many people are going?"

【Three. ] Apollonia answered decisively.

"Three?" Shangluo asked tentatively.

"Ah!!!" Phaethon howled, and his usual vacation-like state was slowly fading away, "I'm going! Isn't it okay if I go! The person who tied the bell must be untied! If you really need something, please leave it to me. I'm still worried about you laymen! But I have a request! All actions are subject to my command! You can do whatever I ask you to do. You are not allowed to take any step away from anything I don't let you do. I am serious. ! That thing is very scary! It’s really scary!”

【I have no opinion. Just listen to you. 】

"Well, I don't have one either," Shangluo replied, "Why do I feel like I'm redundant again."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Xianfen stood up: "Well, now that it's been decided, I'll start making preparations here. Who else do you need to join us?"

"do not want!"

【don't want! 】

Phaethon and Apollonia answered in unison.

"This is our business scope. Professional matters should be handled by professional people."

【Seconded. Let outsiders come in and be distracted from protection. 】

"Then do you need material support?" Zhu Xianxian asked.

"This is indeed needed - mainly Shangluo." Phaethon replied, "It is best to equip him with better equipment. He is too fragile and can easily be held back."

"Huh?" Shangluo wondered, "Why am I the one holding back? Why do you two fall out faster than you can flip through a book?"

[You don’t know when you ask questions. You are more skilled than the inferior but not as good as the superior. Of course, you must be brought over with all your weapons, so that you can be brought back with all your tail. 】

"Second," Phaethon replied.
