Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1371 The Eyes of Dionysus

"I feel like the signal over there isn't very stable. Hello, Xiao Han, ask what's going on over there."

"Okay." Han Xingzhi turned on the video signal to the command center.

He saw Shangluo and the person next to Shangluo.

He turned off the signal.

"They're having breakfast over there." With a normal expression, he reported the situation to Fu Yuanshan.

"Oh that's true, eating is a big deal. Let's have breakfast too."

Although he could skip meals, his habit was to eat three meals a day. They carried five days' worth of steamed bread on the boat, and the rest could be supplemented by mirage.

At this time, the two have already reached the middle of the Earth-Moon orbit - if they continue to sail at this speed, they will actually reach it tomorrow. But compared to acceleration, deceleration is also a big problem. The moon has no atmosphere, and their current speed is far higher than the moon's escape velocity, and they cannot be captured by the moon's gravity. Therefore, they will start preparing for the deceleration procedure later today.

If all these were monitored and implemented by the two people on the spaceship, the work would be extremely cumbersome. Because they could not directly determine their own coordinates in this vast universe, even a celestial being in the foundation-building stage could not do it - at least a person in the golden elixir stage could do it.

But from another perspective, they only need some cloud support. As long as the information is smooth, Fu Yuanshan can solve the problems beyond information.

"By the way, Xiao Han, what you just saw wasn't breakfast, was it?"

"No, no, it's really not."

"Oh," Fu Yuanshan nodded without asking any further questions, "It's great to be young."

Shangluo did nothing. But it was precisely because he did nothing that Phaethon noticed something was wrong.

"I say, Shangluo, are you very likable?"

"Objectively speaking, it is true - haven't you noticed it before?"

"Maybe we were too close, so I didn't notice it. Or maybe... there's something really different about you."

"I personally think this is an additional effect after being promoted to a celestial being."

"It's just that this is different. Isn't Zhu Ling also a celestial being now? This feeling is quite different from yours. If I must say, it seems that the godhood is different."

"Really?" If Phaethon hadn't said it, he wouldn't have noticed. "What godhood?"

"Zhu Ling seems to have the power to infect the moods of those around her. Her concentration is extremely strong, so strong that it is close to the level of control - but this is different from control. Her original intention is to do her job well, not to influence others. It's just that her concentration is too strong that she always infects others from the inside out."

"Really?"

"This is actually a natural leadership quality. This is someone who can be Augustus."

“Why Augustus and not Caesar?”

"This is what I want to say - if we use gods as an analogy, Zhu Ling is actually very similar to Jupiter: that is, Zeus. She has a kind of concentration like the king of gods. This concentration is different from the control desire of the queen Hera. Her concentration is completely on herself." "If that's the case, their Zhu family does have this kind of inheritance. They are always inexplicably focused on an inexplicable thing - so, what about me?"

"You give me the feeling of Caesar rather than Augustus - the man of all women and the woman of all men."

"???" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "No. I can accept the first half of the sentence. What is the second half?"

"It means that Caesar is often regarded as the incarnation of Venus, and like a succubus, he is attractive to everyone. But you are different. After all, just because you have similar abilities does not mean that you are the incarnation of Venus. Because you already have a similar godhood."

"Bacchus, huh?"

"Yes. Dionysus also has a similar function. Because Dionysus and Eros both have the nature of ancient gods, and they both have the crazy blood of the Titans flowing in their bodies - desire. The two are two sides of desire. Dionysus symbolizes the comedy of desire, while Eros is the tragedy of desire."

"So should I be glad that I'm on a comedy side?"

"In theory, it is true. If you indulge in the same desire, Dionysus may make you happy, but Eros may get you stabbed."

"Wait a minute." Shang Luo pressed his forehead, "Why is the God of Wine related to so many gods?"

Dionysus can be placed on a par with Apollo, because Dionysus symbolizes mankind’s bloody past, while Apollo symbolizes beautiful dreams.

Dionysus can be placed on a par with Eros because they are different aspects of desire.

Dionysus can also be related to the earth goddess and the hunting god.

“Why is Bacchus so heavy?”

"Because Dionysus is the king of gods. Just as the power of the Olympian gods comes from the three land gods of the sky, the sea, and the underworld. As the next king of gods, Dionysus also has a powerful source of power. But this power does not come from the land, but from humans. In the final analysis, the belief in Dionysus itself is a prophecy of the end of the world in Greek mythology, and a fantasy of Greek mythology before death. They fantasize that at the end of the world, Dionysus will tear open his own skin and turn into an ancient god to take revenge on everyone."

"Hmm, but why do they seem to be getting better lately? Wait, is it because my relationship with Victoria has improved that the prophecy is coming true?"

"As long as you control yourself, the final God King will not be born. But maybe - this has nothing to do with Victoria. It's just that Rome is heading towards destruction, and the end of the world is approaching, which has stimulated the power of the god of wine. After all, the current Cybernia is essentially a big dream that cannot be woken up, and everyone is soaking in a jar of wine."

Shangluo thought about it and said, "So this seems to be able to provide help to me?"

"If you mean to use it to flirt with girls, then it's fine. As long as you make sure it doesn't lead to tragedy, then it will be helpful."

"You mean I have to maintain good relationships with them but not fall in love with them?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not that you can't fall in love, because love is complicated. You can't create a tragic love - as long as you can make everyone have a happy ending. And I'm not encouraging you to do this, I'm conducting a battle analysis with you on the current situation."

"What kind of protagonist setting is this for a beautiful girl interactive game? It feels like it's easy to get into a bad storyline. By the way, what will happen if I go the wrong way?"

"I think the most direct consequence may be the collapse of the Roman dream - but this fate is too mysterious, even the oracle can hardly explain it. So, if you really have doubts about this, I can provide you with a plan: you can forge the Spear of Dionysus and know how far you have progressed. It will be as useful as the Spear of Apollo."
