Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 934 Mount
[You asked this yourself, not me!]

"What do you mean?"

Apollonia relayed to him the portion of her previous discussion with Phaethon.

"I told you, I'm worried about this too." Shang Luo shook his head, "What if she really got robbed? Why don't we let her come back?"

[Can you call her back once now, and keep her away from the house for the rest of her life? She is not Victoria. Victoria can really stay in the house for the rest of her life, and she can govern the country in her office. But Phaethon really needs to go out. ]

"She's not a Husky."

[Compared to Victoria, the fat cat who stays at home, she is a husky. If you really let her stay at home to avoid trouble, she will definitely not be able to stay idle. ]

"So this disaster is real?"

【Fate is unpredictable, and who can predict it? Legend has it that the Nordic god Odin wanted to prevent the coming of Ragnarok, but everything he did accelerated Ragnarok and made everything even more out of control. If this is really her fate, no matter what we do, I'm afraid we can't stop her from falling into the sea.】

"So why? Why is it like this?" Shang Luo couldn't understand this. "How can a person's life be determined by fate?"

[You forgot one thing - she is not an ordinary person, she is a demigod who carries the fate and power of Phaethon. Her power is not gained through cultivation, but comes from the fate of a demigod. She was born with great power and disaster. The loom of fate cannot affect every mortal, but she is undoubtedly in the script. Everything that fate lent her has already been marked with a price. ]

"Ah," Shang Luo covered his forehead, "Then is there any way to end this? I can't tie her up and prevent her from going out. And I don't know when this disaster will come. What should I do?"

[In fact, she reminded me of this by saying something - when I mentioned the Investiture of the Gods, she actually thought it wasn't a bad thing. Because there is a price to pay, then being on the Investiture of the Gods is actually a good choice. After all, even if you can't become an immortal, being on the Investiture of the Gods is also a good choice.]

"That won't work!" Shang Luo replied, "The Investiture of the Gods is for Doudou. She's such a big living person, I don't want to see her being bound by the duties of a god. I can give her a better future."

[I'm not saying that I want her to be on the Conferred God List. What I mean is - you see, there is actually some hope for this matter. Or rather, there is actually a lot of hope for this matter.]

"What do you mean?"

【Two aspects: First, how did Sun Wukong achieve immortality? If the calamity that Phaethon had to bear was unique, then the three disasters of thunder, fire, and wind were the calamities that everyone had to bear, right? Then how did Sun Wukong achieve immortality? He learned the seventy-two transformations to avoid the three disasters, and Sun Wukong could use his own strength to deal with the calamity. In the end, didn't the underworld come to seduce him? He directly overturned the underworld. 】

"Ah," Shangluo nodded, "So even though she bears the price of fate, the price is also limited, right?"

【Yes. Compared with the real three disasters, her disaster is just "stealing the power of the sun god, and finally being hit by the gods into the sea", which is not much different from Sun Wukong's soul being seduced. As long as her strength is strong enough to face more powerful heavenly disasters, then these small twists and turns are completely insignificant - cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. The longer she stays in Rome, the more she owes fate. And cultivating immortals against the will of heaven may really help her.】

"If that's the case, then the Conferred God List is actually negotiable. We just need so many people on the Conferred God List, but who will be on the Conferred God List depends entirely on who Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao each bring to fight."

[This is my second point - even if it is really inevitable, the so-called disaster can be negotiated. Odin's family was wiped out by Ragnarok, and I think it was related to Odin's own stupid move. Even if he sat at home and did nothing, the final situation would probably not be so bad. Loki, Fenrir, many things are not irreversible. ]

"Then we should do something." He thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and dialed a number that he had recently added.

A silver sports car turned from the corner and stopped in front of Shangluo who was about to cross the road. The door opened automatically.

The six-legged warhorse Grani is always available. "I didn't ask you to pick me up."

The car lights flashed and the door closed.

"Listen, you are going to the Jinyiwei Yamen now. You know the way, right? I will assign you a task now: you must protect Phaethon's safety. If anything happens, bring her back immediately."

[Hey, why do you feel like you are seeing the Lu horse that Liu Bei gave to Pang Tong? ]

"Are you Diluma?" he asked Grani.

Grani's windshield wipers swung left and right.

"Look, he said no."

[Okay.] Apollonia also instructed, [Then, I'll leave it to you. I know you work better here than in Rome, and you think this is more like a place where heroes should live. The Romans don't deserve a good horse like you, right?]

The car lights flashed, and Grani expressed his complete agreement.

[But Phaethon is also a Roman. I don't know what you think of her, but no matter what, this mission was assigned to you by Shangluo. You should work hard, okay?]

Grani responded with the roar of his engine. It was already raring to go.

"Very good, very energetic." Shangluo patted the roof of the car, "Once this errand is done, your mount-level treatment will be settled. It is not impossible to upgrade to the secondary beast level in a few years."

This made Grani a little angry, and he puffed out smoke from the hood.

[Ah, it got angry - it learned about the people in front of it, and said that Longlong was just a useless person, and the other main beasts and secondary beasts were not as useful as him.]

"Don't look down on Longlong. At least he runs fast enough, and he can definitely run to the safest place. If Longlong was here this time, I would let him be Phaethon's mount."

[Hey] Apollonia suddenly thought, [I'm not saying anything. Is it because Phaethon was bound to get into trouble this time, so Longlong went to avoid being implicated, so he hid himself? ]

"Hey!" Shang Luo slapped his forehead, "Really? I just realized it now. This kid runs too fast!"

Grani's engine roared angrily.

[Ah, he said, this is the difference between him and Longlong. Even if he knows that there is an unpredictable fate ahead, he will still charge forward with the knight without hesitation! ]

"I'm not asking you to charge in, I'm asking you to bring the person back. Okay, it's good to have your promise. I'll contact you later, and remember to fill up the gas before you go out."
