Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 899 Loyalty and Filial Piety
"But even if they really pull out tactical nuclear bombs, it won't matter."

"What happens after this?"

"After that? Then I'll wait for you to chase me. I'll wait for you~~ So, you asked before, 'Is there really a delicious West Lake vinegar fish?' I tell you, there is. Do you want to know where to eat it? I'll tell you if you win."

Shang Luo was silent for a while: "So, Senior Fu, do you really want to compete with me? Or do you just want to stop at this point?"

What answered him was the sharp explosion of wind pressure - which was also a kind of answer.

Shangluo put down the phone and sat behind the emperor's desk.

"Um"

[It seems that he is really serious about this. The next step is your intervention, and the next step will be your turn.]

"It seems I have to prepare in advance. I can't wait for him to kill me."

[So, are you sure...]

"If it's a symmetrical confrontation, I certainly won't lose, after all, I have a lot of good stuff in my hand. But if it's an asymmetrical confrontation... then the key is to see who can catch my opponent by surprise. He has seen my cards, but I haven't seen his. But one thing is clear - if this matter needs to be resolved through a direct confrontation between me and him, that's the worst strategy. If I can use my apprentice, I will use my apprentice. If I can use magic weapons, I will use magic weapons. Half the battle is lost when the big boss shows up."

【So that would be troublesome, right?】

"I don't think so - otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned this to him. I think he also wants to know what I am going to do. He wants to know how the mortals' fighting power must be enhanced to defeat him. His display of force in front of the King's Master was already a missed opportunity for me. He wanted me to see how mobile the celestial beings could be. And I already had expectations for all of this."

[If you can succeed - I mean, if you can arm mortals to defeat a demigod, then... I won't say more, let Miss Phaethon speak for her.]

"This is just wishful thinking." Phaethon joined the channel, "Wait a minute, I'll finish mopping the floor here, wait a few minutes."

As soon as she came back, Phaethon continued her part-time job. The Lei Department had not officially opened yet, and she had not quit her job at the Golden Arches. Today, she was mopping the floor while paying attention to what was happening in Shangluo.

Shangluo waited for her for 129 seconds.

"Okay, I'm done." She sent a letter to Shangluo, "I'll make a bet with you too. If you can really do it, I'll learn how to make 'First-class West Lake Vinegar Fish' and make it exactly the same for you."

"Hey, are you serious? This is harder than you swearing to work for me for three years for nothing."

"All the vows that don't include myself are bullshit. If I want to swear, I'll swear on myself."

"Your family always puts themselves into everything they do. That's really the family tradition."

"So you plan to use Talos to fight against Fu Yuanshan?"

"How is this possible? I borrowed foreign troops to fight my own people? What would happen to me if the news got out? If I win, I will lose face, and if I lose, I will be humiliated. There is no way Talos can use them."

"So what are you going to use?"

"Well, I can borrow some magic weapons from Victoria. Didn't you say that Victoria has some magical metals that I can use?"

"Then don't you still need external help?"

"That's different. Of course you can borrow magic weapons to use during a fight. The more you can borrow, the more powerful you are. The more the better. This is different from Talos."

"I still don't understand. You mean Talos looks wrong? What's wrong?"

"It's not wearing any clothes! Is there any need to ask? It's naked! How shameful!"

"So that's why!" "Is there any need to explain this? The naked Talos looks like a standard Greek god. How can chess pieces be placed on a Chinese chess board?"

"Then why don't you just put some clothes on him?"

"I'm just thinking about how to dress him. The Taros in clothes is two different units from the original Taros, so we need to consider them separately. I will use the Taros in clothes as my trump card, but in order to summon Taros, I have to meet some prerequisites and give Taros a new identity - this is my trump card. If other methods don't work, I will use this Taros."

"So what are your plans? To meet this 'summoning condition'."

"I've got some idea. I'll call you later."

Shangluo hung up the phone, picked up the red landline on the table, and called Wen Zhong directly:
"Hmm? Lord Shang Tian, ​​what's the matter? If you're asking whether we need support now, then we'll have to wait. The Northern Army still has a few cards that haven't been used, and they want to try again."

"I'm talking about something else. I say, Mr. Wen, what do you think is the basis for the court to rule the country?"

"Of course, it is based on loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness."

"Then I want to do something good for the court that is both loyal and filial. What do you think?"

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Elder Wen became interested. He knew that Shang Luo must be talking about something important.

"I heard there is a piece of material for the stele in Yangshan?"

"Do you want to erect the Yangshan Stele?!" Elder Wen immediately understood Shangluo's meaning.

The Yangshan Stele is a huge stone stele carved for the Monument of Divine Merit and Sacred Virtue in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum when Emperor Chengzu Wen was repairing it. The stele is nearly 4300 meters high, as tall as a skyscraper. It weighs million jin, which is about the same as golden hoop sticks.

It is called a stone stele, but it is actually a huge mountain of stone. Such a huge thing could not have been erected during the Yongle reign. Therefore, the Yangshan Stele can only be a "stele material". Although the stele base, stele body, and stele title have been cut, they can only be left there to be exposed to the wind and sun.

"I plan to erect the Yangshan Stele in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao as a token of our loyalty and filial piety."

hum-

A chime sounded.

Unprecedented loyalty and filial piety made Fei Yuan Zhen Jun, Wan Shou Di Jun, and Zhong Xiao Di Jun give clear instructions at an unprecedented speed - this is a good thing. This can be done. Do it as soon as possible.

Even if Zhu Xianxun himself were here, he couldn't be more loyal and filial than this.

"How are you going to erect it? How much will it cost?"

[Can this be funded? ]

"Funding? We'll talk about that later."

"Okay, okay." Elder Wen asked hurriedly, as if he was afraid that Shangluo would change his mind, "How do you plan to erect the Yangshan Stele? We'll give you as much as you want. The court has no shortage of money. Just have a plan. But you have to erect it in its entirety, not cut it up and then stack it. This is not Cao Chong weighing an elephant. If it's cut up, the loyalty and filial piety will be discounted. You have to erect the whole stele."

"Of course I can do it. I plan to ask the giant Kua'e to carry the stone tablet to the Xiaoling Mausoleum and then erect it in a grand manner. But the giant Kua'e is not far from ancient times, so she lacks a set of clothes. Can the court buy her a set of clothes for the heavenly soldiers and generals? Like the giant spirit god."

"Yes! Of course! The imperial court has to give an explanation for the clouds in the sky, otherwise people will not believe that such great power belongs to the imperial court. I don't care what the giant Kua'e is, but the title of Kua'e, sent by the Emperor of Heaven to help Yugong move the mountains, is a great one. This is what the imperial court lacks now - the imperial court thanks you so much!"

[He really thanked you.]
