Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1432 The Establishment of the Night Shift Bureau

He has no royal aura at all.

"We can discuss it!"

"It seems like you are an insider?"

"I know that I have not been deceived by the Holy Lie. I know the situation of this world very well. The bravest among us have persisted on various fronts to maintain our civilization in this small area. I can't do anything else except watching them."

"In that case, may I assume that your interests are now aligned with those of Heaven?"

"If this is your wish, we will naturally comply."

This is not a distinction between Chinese and barbarians, but a question of the suppression of mortals by the gods.

The King of Prussia knew the gap better than everyone present, except Shangluo and Phaethon. Although Prussia did implement a policy of blocking information, he did not block himself from it. He was an insider and knew clearly what was happening here.

"Then there's nothing more to say. Very good, you don't intend to cause me trouble, this is a good start. I hope further cooperation can be launched between us."

He didn't want to waste too much time on civil affairs because that was not his mission. He also didn't need to establish a long-term system here because he never needed the land here.

Everything he did was truly for the land itself, because he had no claim on the land—no matter if it was people, resources, or anything else, he had no interest in it.

All he needed was order. He hoped that in terms of order, this place could be incorporated into the Tribute World and governed by the Heavenly Court.

Order is the most expensive commodity, and it is indeed costly to accept order from other political bodies. But if order is in the right hands, everyone will benefit from it.

There is no doubt that Heaven is the right person, because Heaven wants nothing but to give order, because Heaven does not directly benefit from order. Heaven just wants everyone to stay where they are and not cause trouble for Heaven.

"So, what do we need to do?"

"This is a surrender." He handed the document to the King of Prussia, "Fill it out and pay tribute. Go now."

"But what about Vienna?"

"He will go too. I know that there are some among you who call themselves the Holy Roman Empire. Remember, there is no diplomacy for any subject. Even if you are next to Vienna, you cannot establish any diplomatic relations. You can only maintain correspondence. At the same time, you must disarm all your weapons, disband the army, and only retain the police and paramilitary forces. You cannot equip any weapons of mass destruction, and you cannot launch any form of war against neighboring countries."

“That’s our future.”

"I have no business what your future holds. I only want to make sure that no one loses by fighting for your future. You can rule your lands as a monarchy or a democracy. I will not tax you or demand tribute. You only need to acknowledge the existence of the Celestial Court and protect your lands. That is all that is needed."

"Is that all?" This greatly surprised the King of Prussia.

He knew of a series of collaborations between Prussia and Rome. This was not the case between Prussia and Rome.

Because even the Bone Zang Group will have some specific demands on Prussia - this is also the basic norm of cooperation between the two sides.

After all, neither Prussia nor the entire Holy Roman Empire obeyed the orders of the Roman Empire.

To them, the Bone Collection Group was like a vampire lurking in the dark. They infiltrated every level and every corner of the Holy Roman Empire, just to take back all the funds, power and faith.

The existence of the bone-hiding group is a kind of pain that makes people unable to stop. On the one hand, the Roman Empire, which cannot really enter the outside of the Great Wall, needs to be infiltrated in this way. They really want to destroy this place politically. But on the other hand, they can indeed provide the promise of immortality.

Now, no one knows whether this is true or not. But the infiltration has been going on, and the bone storage group is really carrying out every bone burial mission seriously. Even from Phaethon's perspective, they are indeed abiding by the terms of the contract.

Although the truth cannot be confirmed, the tentacles of the bone group have already penetrated every corner of Prussia. Although it is difficult to assert that Prussia has completely become a puppet, if the secret of immortality is verified, the fall of the entire Holy Roman Empire is just around the corner.

After all, throughout history, although the Germans fought against the Romans many times, they were also an indispensable part of the Roman army. Historically, it is impossible to infer an exact date for the fall of the Western Roman Empire - at the beginning, no one cared about the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. It was just the fall of Rome in 410, and the dethronement of the Roman emperor in 476. But Rome was always conquered and repaired, and the emperor was always deposed and re-established.

At that time, the Romans and the Germans were like two snakes entangled together. No outsider could tell whether the two snakes were mating or devouring each other, or both. It was not until the end, when the last emperor Romulus Augustus was exiled for a long time, that people realized that the Western Roman Empire would never come back. The whole of Italy fell into the hands of the Germans.

At that time, only a few important cities such as Venice became the last bastions of Rome - of course, Rome later regained Italy through [reconquest], which is another story.

Now, this is happening in what is now Prussia, and even in the Holy Roman Empire. This time, the Romans are infiltrating everywhere, and the Germanic regime is gradually declining. The Germanic people once filled the Roman army, but now all these forces have succumbed to immortality.

After all, even the most powerful generals are doomed to die, and so is Qin Shi Huang, not to mention these ordinary Germans.

If everything went well and Rome's plan could continue, it would only be a matter of time before the Western Roman Empire was infiltrated and dismembered.

However, there is no if. The Romans themselves could not resist the temptation of immortality, and the establishment of Cybele greatly accelerated the decline of the entire civilization.

After all, no one wants to be killed by the last bullet in the last war. After gaining immortality, the Joseon king Yi Mu didn't even want to go out, and the Romans didn't want to go out after gaining immortality in Cybele.

Someone has to take over everything that's left.

But Shangluo took over these not for infiltration - he was different from Rome. He did not want to rule, he just wanted order. However, the system left by the Romans happened to be useful to him.

"So," he looked at the King of Prussia, "don't you have any other aspirations for the future besides invading other countries? Don't you want to develop your own culture, technology, or improve the lives of your people? Why do you have to resort to war to find a way out? If your future can only be built on the suffering of other countries, then is such a future necessary?"

“We haven’t thought about it that way.”

"You must have thought so. Everyone has a share of the land under the sun, right? But I want to tell you that it's all over. All expansion, all military operations, will end from tonight. All countries will be demilitarized, you, France and England. Under the new order, departments are not allowed to wage war in any form. Do you have any objection?"

The king shook his head.

"Then, tonight's meeting will serve as our mutual confirmation of our intention to cooperate. Someone will come to discuss the entire process with you in detail later."

He did not intend to communicate too much with the King of Prussia, because it had nothing to do with him. He also knew that this blunt order would not be understood and cooperated with by the King of Prussia. He intended to let time teach him what was right.

As long as he agreed to cooperate and opened the conversation, the rest of the matter would be left to the Night Service Bureau to resolve - because the status of the Night Service Bureau would be far higher than those vassal states.

Hans, the first operator to be captured, was standing outside. The King of Prussia went out without saying a word, but he glanced at his position. Hans, who was at a loss, just said hello to his father in a hurry, and then he was summoned by Shangluo.

When he entered the room, he saw Shangluo standing behind the table.

"You, are that Hans?"

"Yes. It's me."

"Very good. Then you will be the head of the German branch of the Night Service."

"Me? I'm the director?"

"Yes, it's you." Shangluo replied, "We have decided that you will lead the night shift work in the entire Germania region."

"But why is this?"

"Because you're still pretty pleasing to the eye. It's that simple."

Of course, that's not actually the reason - Night Shift is about war after all, and when all civil wars between humans are eliminated, only wars between humans and non-humans will remain.

The status of the Night Service Bureau will be elevated to a new level, above all other countries, because in the future, the Heavenly Court will no longer care about what happens here, but will only care about how the work of the Night Service Bureau will progress.

In this context, it doesn't matter how Prussia or other barbarians organize their own countries. The only thing that matters is whether they can remain stable. If they are unstable, they will become a breeding ground for chaos, and then the Heavenly Court will need to intervene to solve the problem.

Therefore, the work of the Night Service Bureau was the only thing Shangluo would pay attention to. And the Hans he chose was quite special. He was the son of the King of Prussia, which meant that he could also become the link between the world-class Night Service Bureau and this region.

"Here you go." He handed over a sandalwood box.

Hans opened it and took a look. Inside was a celadon-like pill.

"only."

"The Bone Collection Group has promised everyone eternal life - have they promised you?"

“I knew about it, but I was never involved.”

"So," Shangluo asked, "Do you believe it or not?"

"I believe it now."

"You'd better not believe it." Shangluo waved his hand.

"what?"

Phaethon added: "In fact, we are now at a loss as to how to revive these remaining consciousnesses. The promise of the Bone Collection Group may be fulfilled in the future, but the day of fulfillment is far away, and it is definitely not now."

“Is this all a hoax?”

"The previous one might be. But this one is not." Shang Luo pointed at the box, "We chose you. So as a benefit for joining the company, I will grant you the immortality of a demigod. You will never die from now on."

"!!!" Hans looked at the particles in front of him in astonishment, "This is..."

"A pill that can give you eternal life. If you can't understand it, you can think of it as a product of alchemists. As long as you eat it, you can gain immortality - of course, the price is that you need to work to exchange time for activities. Now, eat it, and you will know how long you can live. You can live the time you win for free, and the rest depends on your own hard work. By the way, after you eat it, you can also know how you will die. It's up to you whether to eat it or not."

Before he finished speaking, Hans swallowed the entire pill in one gulp.

In an instant, he stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.

【???】Apollonia was stunned for a moment, 【Wait, Shangluo, something seems to be wrong. Ah ah. Tsk tsk tsk.】

"What happened?"

[Let him tell it himself. He can know his own life span. Let him tell it himself.]

Shangluo looked at him: "How is the situation? How long do you have left to live?"

Hans slowly raised three fingers.

"Thirty years? Not bad. Since you will remain young after that, it will be shorter than the normal life span. Anyway, you can do silent labor later to regain time and enjoy your life while working."

"Sir." Hans lowered his head, "It's not 30 years, it's 30 days."

"Huh?" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"In fact, I have a serious blood disease. The doctor said that I won't live past 30, and I won't be able to move freely for many years. My father doesn't want to waste time on a useless person like me, and I just want to leave my name in the last few years of my life, so I took the initiative to sign up for the most dangerous mission. Just now, my weak body has fully recovered. But it seems that I only have 30 days left to live!"

"Ah," Shang Luo covered his forehead, "I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky for such a thing to happen. Just do your job as the branch director for 30 days. After 30 days, you can do your silent work. Come back to me when you have accumulated at least 10 years of time, and I will arrange another job for you."

"Wait, this means I won't die?"

"Yes, you won't die. But the next 30 years are your last natural lifespan. Go do what you want to do. You want to leave your name, don't you? Go ahead. 30 days is enough for you to prove yourself to your father."
