Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1404: The Selection of the Ten Lords

"It turns out that Atlantis is going to die just like Rome."

Shangluo thought that Atlantis would gradually become stronger as the mysterious side was gradually revealed. But now it seems that Atlantis, like Rome, is facing an unknown decline.

The reason is also helpless, because the humans in Atlantis were Romans. Even if they held various rituals to give themselves the characteristics of sea people, they still had a limited lifespan. Becoming a demigod does not mean immortality, after all, demigods in history only lived for a certain number of years, and immortality is the privilege of gods.

Since people were dying and there was no way to get replenishment from Rome, the decline of Atlantis was no different from other declines currently facing various parts of Rome.

"So, Shangluo," Luo De emphasized, "similar to Rome, we also need assistance. It would be best if we could find someone who can inherit the title of Lord of the Ten Directions."

"Let me ask first, do you emphasize strength more or compatibility more?"

"Compatibility is more important than strength." Luo De said helplessly, "It's okay for an island goddess like me. But if it's a prince of the Ten Directions, he will have to face some extremely harsh conditions - the throne of the twins can only be inherited by identical twins, not even a single character difference. So when Lord Shangluo is looking for candidates from Zhendan, please arrange for twins to be tested."

"Wait a minute." Shangluo suddenly asked, "You guys can't even gather all the princes because you can't find enough twins?"

"."

[It seems like you guessed it right. I think so. First of all, there are only so many people born in Rome. It is impossible for a submarine to recruit people other than citizens. In the end, they have to recruit twins for the same position. This is too outrageous. After all, twins have their own ambitions. If you want to pull twins to work on the same ship, you may not be able to find 5 pairs in the whole of Rome. ]

"So you're short a few pairs now."

"We just need a pair of twins," Lot replied. "The positions of the demigods Erasip and Mesto are still vacant. As Rome is declining, we really can't find suitable demigods to fill them. In fact, this is the case everywhere. Phaethon has also left his priesthood, right?"

"I haven't resigned from Phaethon's position." Phaethon replied, "When I succeed in my training here, I will come back and continue to be the son of the sun god."

"I have a question." Shangluo asked, "If you become a demigod, what are the disadvantages?"

"I have experience with this now." Phaethon said, "The situation is like this - if you don't have power yourself, but use the power of a demigod to shape yourself, you will easily fall into imitating and acting as a demigod. This is unavoidable for me, because my power in the past still came from a demigod. But now I am confident that I can maintain my own self when I regain Phaethon's power."

"So even if you regain your previous strength, you won't drink grape juice?" "Ah," Phaethon sighed, "Now that I think about it, I don't know how I got through it. I couldn't enter under the eaves and could only drink grape juice. Sometimes I could only look for other flavors among different grape juice brands because I couldn't swallow anything else. Even the prey that the rules allowed, the ones I hunted myself, didn't taste very sweet and were just enough to fill my stomach."

Once you have seen the sea, you will never be impressed by the water. In the past, she could endure that kind of life, not only because of her status and her tolerance, but also because the demigod had great power and transcendent status in Rome. When he was worshipped like a statue, some inconveniences in food, clothing, housing and transportation were not intolerable.

But now, this is completely unnecessary. She can have both, which is a great thing. However, with the decline of Rome, the glorious identity of the son of God has gradually become less useful. It's like buying a movie ticket from last year. No theater will open the screen for this old ticket.

This led to the fact that although she could have gone back a long time ago, the time she spent in Shangluo was obviously more interesting and meaningful than going back to be a demigod. After all, they were working hard for the future of mankind here, and returning to Rome would only mean a funeral for the Romans.

"But in general, being a part-time demigod is good." Phaethon concluded, "Being a full-time demigod requires too much effort. When being a demigod becomes a life rather than a job, it is often unbearable. I suggest that you retain your identity while finding a part-time job. Aren't you in this situation now, Shangluo?"

Victoria was stunned for a moment: "Yes. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized it. It turns out that Shangluo, the Roman King, is actually a part-time Roman King."

"What on earth are you two thinking? This job doesn't require all your energy. Look at my senior brother. He can be considered a part-time emperor to some extent."

[It actually depends on how you define it, but your senior brother seems to spend more time on alchemy than administrative affairs. Moreover, he generally prefers alchemy and doesn't like dealing with administrative affairs - after all, this job doesn't really take up too much time. Because the work related to governance has been divided into extremely detailed tasks. For example, Victoria! ] She suddenly called Victoria's name.

"Huh? What?"

As Emperor of the Roman Empire, she was very busy in many ways.

[Let me ask you, are you a full-time emperor or a part-time emperor? How long do you work every day? How long do you sleep? How often do you take a vacation? ]

"Of course I am a full-time emperor. When I am working, I am online for at least 12 hours a day, and I only sleep for 4 hours. I only have the most important holidays a year. I don't have any holidays on Saturdays and Sundays."

【Wrong answer. In fact, when Victoria was working, she slept for no less than 7 and a half hours a day. You took a nap at noon every day, and you also slept on the way to various meetings. So why could you sleep all the time? Because Ms. Agatha was next to you, she would filter and adjust all the information first. You could sleep in the seat at any time, just get off at the destination. Someone was always dealing with the prey on the grassland, so you could always do whatever you wanted in your territory. 】

"Why does it sound like I did something bad?" Victoria said puzzled.
