Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 989 Crisis
"Tokyo Tower?" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "Why do you call it this name? Isn't that Edo?"

"It seems that Shangluo, you know about it." Fu Yuanshan looked at him, "I'll ask you later and let you come and see it first. Indeed, they asked for the name 'Tokyo Tower'. It seems that it is something that should not be there."

"???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Wait, I also saw something in New Antioch that shouldn't be here. But that was still a reflection in the water. And in Edo."

"The situation seems to be getting more serious." Fu Yuanshan replied, "So the situation there seems to be quite chaotic."

"What did we know about Japan before?"

"Yeah," Fu Yuanshan nodded, "Actually, after Japan closed its borders, we didn't know much about it, because there was no need. They sealed themselves off there, and we didn't plan to send the Jinyiwei there for field work - you may have heard about this. During the Imjin War, we did send the Jinyiwei to Shimanzi on Kyushu Island, also known as the Shimazu Japanese chieftain, to inquire about the situation. As a result, the wallets of that group of action were stolen, and they begged for food for half a year before returning home from the Ryukyu ship. But since then, Japan has basically been sealed off by the Tokugawa family. We don't need to care, and there is no need to care."

【Eh? That's true. Japan under the rule of the Edo Shogunate was no different from a small world sealed in winter. The shogunate cut off all external contacts, retaining only a few channels of communication and strictly controlling the exchange of information inside and outside. The exchange of materials was also completely controlled by the officially authorized monopoly trade - it was indeed sealed in. 】

"So the current situation is that the encapsulation has failed?"

"Yes, and we don't know when it took effect. Because from the outside, everything seems normal there. But inside, it seems to be in chaos. This period of time should not be very long, no more than 10 years. Because we have a general survey every once in a while. Although we don't have long-term spies stationed there, and we can't send spies, we can occasionally collect some of the latest trends from external intelligence. At least from the intelligence in the past 10 years, there have been no major problems in Japan - if there were any, it was three years ago."

"Huh? What happened?"

"Three years ago, a plague broke out in Japan that swept across the country. Of course, because the country was locked down, the plague was completely confined to the island and had no impact on the outside world. At that time, out of habit, we asked Ryukyu if they needed support, but Japan refused external help as usual and paid tribute in the prescribed amount. Conventional foreign trade was also proceeding in an orderly manner. So, we ignored this matter as before. Now it seems that the problem they are facing is probably far more than just the plague."

"So her purpose of stealing spiritual energy is to solve their own problems?"

"I thought so too." Fu Yuanshan nodded. "It seems that this is a desperate attempt to find a cure. What do you think? If it is considered an emergency to avoid danger, then the sentence can be lenient."

"Not really." Shangluo answered bluntly, "We asked them before if they needed help, but they refused. They misjudged the situation. Now they don't want to support us, but come to steal - does he think this is stealing ginseng fruit from the Wuzhuang Temple? Tang Monk didn't want to eat it, but he asked them to steal it. Does he think it's Monkey King? This matter is official, so we should handle it as it should be handled. I'm waiting for the result from the Imperial Prison."

"Yeah." Fu Yuanshan just responded, and he suddenly took out his cell phone.

"Huh?" Fu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, "How could such a thing happen?"

"What's going on?" Shangluo asked.

"Victoria, here we come"

"Ah~ the sunset in Aurora, the clear sky, and the fragrance of flowers. We are here, right here. Ms. Agatha, look, this is the Taiye Lake in the Aurora Palace that I told you about before. It's so beautiful here."

"Yeah," Agatha nodded silently, but there was something around her that always made her feel a little uneasy.

Before she could remember what she was thinking, a dragon shadow rose into the sky, with its head facing them on the transport boat: "Where did you come from? How dare you violate my realm?"

"Wow!!!" Victoria was startled and hid behind Agatha. "Ms. Agatha, can you use your magic wand to think of a solution?"

"Calm down, pen." She looked up at the dragon that was looking down at them. "This should be a customs officer, here to check our documents."

"Didn't we report it?"

"I think reporting five minutes before surfacing doesn't count as reporting at all."

"But that's what Shangluo and I said last time."

"Shangluo?" The dragon head suddenly lowered and moved to the front of the boat. "Are you guests of Shangluo?"

"Yes." Agatha answered for Victoria, "If you have any questions, please ask Lord Shangluo." Agatha had not met him yet, but had heard his name from many people.

"Wait a moment." The dragon head transformed into light in the air, and condensed into a human figure wearing a red robe, standing barefoot on the water. She took out the Feixin card and glanced at it:
"I see. You're here to look for Shangluo again."

"Ah?" Victoria poked her head out, "Why did you say 'again'?"

"Nothing. Since you are guests of the Heavenly Palace, please pass through - but remember to knock before entering someone else's house next time. This Taiye Lake is not your airport."

"But the last time Shangluo was here, it was clear..."

Victoria was about to say something, but Agatha stopped her:
"Please accept my apology. My Lord, she is in her sleep now, please treat her words as just dream talk."

"I remember seeing her before. Well, never mind. You guys go talk to Shangluo. He's here. He's really proactive. Obviously something big happened over there, but when he heard you were here, he came over to entertain you. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I have to post a thread to ask."

"Post a message?" Agatha felt that her academic Aurora language learning seemed to be in vain, because from the beginning, she kept hearing many inexplicable words.

"Oh, right." Xiaohong suddenly thought, "I remember Shangluo got his server from you, right? Can you help him increase the speed? Recently, it's been getting slower and slower when I'm spamming the forum. I'm a water creature, I can't help spamming. By the way, please help me ask how much traffic I have this month."

Victoria was about to say something, but was immediately pushed back by Agatha: "Understood, we will definitely help you question."

"Then, come over here." Xiao Hong stretched out her hand. "There are many formations on the Taiye Lake. I'll take you there. When you want to go home, remember to call me and I'll take you there."
