Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1372 Spear of Dionysus
"This sounds like a strange device for checking favorability."

The Spear of Dionysus is the beautiful side of desire. If you understand it simply, you can fight drunkenly in different "stories" like Dionysus, remaining three parts sober and seven parts upside down, shaking and stumbling, but not falling. The true meaning of drunken fighting is "no need to care about who is the highest", as long as you don't want to win, you won't lose.

"If that's how you understand it, the main function of my Spear of the Sun God is to provide quest guidance. With the two together, you can play a game of beautiful girl strategy in this world. One allows you to smoothly advance the story vertically, and the other allows you to take care of all the story nodes horizontally. Wow, don't you think I've thought of this very carefully~~ This can make you a master of time management and improve your favorability with more than a dozen people at the same time."

"No, no, no, I don't have any expectations for such a future."

"Tsk, it's a pity that Apollonia is not here, otherwise I could test you right now to see if you are lying. You really don't want to?"

"To be honest? It's not that I don't want to at all. But I'm not too interested in simply advancing the emotional line. After all, I'm more interested in coloring the map. Personal emotions will only delay my speed of unifying the world."

"Oh, it's hopeless." She knew Shangluo was not lying, which made it even more hopeless.

"I'll have plenty of time after this anyway."

"So you're waiting here?!" Phaethon held his forehead and said, "Do you want to stay until the end?"

"No, because I already have you guys, I don't need to provoke others. Well, this is good. I think it's okay to maintain the status quo, or to push forward a little bit, but these don't really require additional equipment to assist me. I'm very strong. I want the Spear of Dionysus, mainly to help me pay attention to other side quests."

"Ah," Phaethon was completely helpless, "You are right. Why did you eat and live with me? It is your sincere attitude that makes me most annoyed."

"That's just the way I am. I will treat people who are good to me well."

"You have to say no sometimes. How about using Occam's razor?"

"How can I refuse? Victoria, Zhu Ling, Yan Qiu and the others are all very important partners. Without them, many things will be difficult to handle."

"Then don't add any more! No more! At least let Xiao Han's sister go."

"Ah? Xiao Han's sister? I'm not familiar with her."

"Everyone is unfamiliar with you at the beginning, but what about in the end? You need to have a good understanding of yourself and know the boundaries of your behavior. If you miss a step, you will capsize."

"Oh, that's impossible. I don't see Xiao Han's sister very often."

"That's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried that Xiao Han will introduce his sister to you in order to make you his big brother."

"Will such a thing happen?"

"Ha, haven't you noticed? Among all the people, there are three people who like you the most directly and openly. The first one is Zhu Ling, she treats you as a pet. The second one is Yan Qiu, she treats you as a star. The third one is our classmate Xiao Han, who has never concealed his admiration for you from the beginning - although the nature is completely different from the previous two, he regards you as an elder brother, but he takes up more of your time, doesn't he?"

"Oh, don't tell me. Although the nature is different, I actually spend more time with Xiao Han and the others." After all, he only sees Zhu Ling and Yan Qiu at certain times. But as long as he goes on a mission, he will definitely see Han Xingzhi and Wen Yuan and the others.

"So he has sufficient motivation, time and reasons to make you a member of his family. And Xiao Han's family seems to be very happy. He has both parents, his parents are sensible, and he has an uncle who is a member of the Jinyiwei. Even I would envy his family, because I don't have such a wonderful childhood, because my fate as a demigod does not allow me to live under the eaves of any house I want - the temples are usually built on stilts."

Shangluo knew about Phaethon's life before. The only food she could accept was wine as a substitute for the blood of the gods, and the prey she hunted with her own hands. She tirelessly carried out missions around the world and was deeply involved in major events such as the deployment of the "Aotearoa bomb". In her life, she did not leave much room for her own life, let alone for her loved ones.

Although she has to work every day, the days she lives in Shangluo have become the most leisurely time in her life. Because she finally has a roof over her head and a home. She finds that she still likes staying in the house.

But compared to Han Xingzhi, who has had a happy family since childhood, even she would be jealous.

"Yes, indeed." Shangluo nodded. "In fact, if I have to choose, Xiaohan's sister is a very perfect marriage partner. She is a senior, has a happy family, a sensible brother, and both her father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people."

"Look, you said so yourself."

"That being said, I feel that I obviously don't belong there - too many things have happened to me. If I enter his family, it might bring unnecessary disturbance to their peaceful life. Although I envy that kind of life, it doesn't belong to me now."

Shangluo has known Han Xingzhi for a long time. Shangluo knows that their family is all about making money. But Shangluo is not in the right position to be a "living person" now. He still has many problems to solve and cannot stop here.

"Ah, Senior. Actually, I also long for such a love."

"Stop!"

"Yes, indeed, we should stop. I just read too many comics and I think so occasionally. I still know what I should do."

He looked at the starry sky outside and said, "By the way, we said before that after the initial construction is completed, we can pick up Victoria to come for a walk. It should be good for her to come out and relax."

"Well, I'll make the contact."

"But what should I call Aunt Agatha? She's actually Victoria's aunt, right? Did you know that before?"

"In fact, even I don't know. His father, Emperor Agathocles, is a typical believer of the secret religion - a believer of Mithraism. He is very mysterious, and even I can't guess what he is thinking. Letting his sisters take care of his daughter, I think this is also a decision agreed upon between them. Why do you ask this? Do you want to send Ms. Agatha away as well?"

"Not really. After all, we asked Victoria to come here mainly to observe the new equipment. I was just thinking about where Victoria should live. It wouldn't be convenient for her to live in our room."

"You can just put it on the wall of their room, it's very convenient."
