Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1483 Cat Car Runs Fast
Phaethon ran around like a caddy, carrying out Elodeasha for Shangluo who was sitting there unwilling to move, and then picking up her exploded equipment.

She revealed a lot of things.

IRODEASA, the Queen of the Elves of Moldova, Wallachia and Transylvania. Although her initial activities were limited to the present-day "Romania" area, IRODEASA gradually gained a dominant position in the wars between the elves and became the Queen of the Long Summer in the magical world. Her rule in the year begins on the first day of the Sun entering Cancer and ends before the Sun enters Libra.

In more sacred realms, she was regarded as the summer incarnation of the moon goddess Diana.

And now, she was defeated.

"Unbelievable. There is still the mantle of the Moon God?" Through the lighthouse system that has not yet faded, Elodiasha revealed a lot of things this time. In those light balls, Elodiasha took the faces from other gods in the war in the spirit world. Some faces are the staged incarnations of a powerful ancient god, such as the semicolon of the Moon God in summer. Some are completely her power, such as the god of black magic defense Benandanti (the Good Lord), the white wizard Tartos of Hungary, and so on.

He even saw the mark of the Night Bureau among them - Elodeasha was also the deity worshipped by the Night Bureau.

"So, the main duties of Elodeasha seem to be positive? What does Benandanti do? What does the White Wizard do? It sounds like it's very righteous."

[Elodeasa is a god of justice outside of Rome. She is the origin of the Night Watch Bureau—a guardian god who fights evil wizards with her spirit at night and protects the souls of upright people.]

"It's actually the guardian angel?"

[If it was an evil god, she wouldn't have so many companions. In the final analysis, people in ancient times would interpret the disasters and discomforts they encountered as persecution by witches, and often identify someone in the village as a witch. This identification sometimes makes no sense. Some herbalists may be identified as witches just because they failed to treat a big shot. But in any case, this sustenance exists. It is a hysterical response to those unsolvable disasters in life. You can't expect everyone to look at the world rationally, especially when reason can't save them. ]

"So, there are wizards?"

【That's how witch hunting came about. Also, it's too troublesome to go through the formalities at the Vatican. Sometimes identifying a wizard is as troublesome as identifying a saint. Because the Vatican is far away in Rome, it may not care about what happens there - and the Vatican is indeed not inclined to engage in things like the Inquisition, which is a seizure of religious power and a cover for extreme measures to maintain social stability. So when many people's appeals are fruitless, they will resort to using magic to defeat magic, and using witchcraft to defeat witchcraft. So, there is a demand for "dark magic defense". The ultimate guide of this demand is Elodiasha. You can see that she doesn't use any magic, and her spring elves use pure physical attacks. 】

"Then why is her real body in Romania?"

【Because Romania gave birth to a legend that spread all over the world - according to the legend, there are some wild humanoid monsters that eat children's hearts and suck human blood. They are called the sleepless dead in Romania. In other parts of the world, they are generally called "vampires." According to legend, a Count Dracula was born in the Romanian land. He killed his own people because of madness, and rivers of blood flowed wherever he passed. This is the origin of vampires - many local problems, including pediatric convulsions and other problems, are attributed to vampires. The reason is simple. The so-called vampire legend is essentially the fear of the dead. Romanians are too miserable. There are too many people who died abnormally. People have many opportunities to come into contact with such dead people, so they are afraid of vampires. And this also creates the effect of defending against vampires. 】

Well, by now, it's clear that Elodea is so influential because she's a key part of the defense against the dark arts. She's not an evil deity outside of Rome, but a patron saint. In particular, she can protect against attacks from malicious spirits and wizards.

"Did I kill a good man?"

[It depends on your standpoint. If you stand on the Romans' standpoint, then Elodeasha is undoubtedly the bad guy. And her protection is not free, but comes at a price. As you said before, her position is actually similar to that of the King of Inspiration. She can indeed protect everyone from the threat of black magic, but she will also ask for a price, which is sometimes no less than the loss caused by black magic. ]

"Even so, they still believe in Elodeasha?"

[Just like many places believe in the God of Plague. Expecting the God of Plague to defeat magic with magic is a manifestation of despair. And, unlike black magic, the price of black magic always needs to be borne by the user himself. However, sometimes the contract of Elodeasha does not need to be borne personally, just throw one person out of the village. "

The Inspiration King of Tongtian River didn't actually pick out the weak to eat, he named them in order, and the same was true for Elodeasha. But whether she sorted them by the first letter of their names, or by wealth, strength, she would not eat up the entire village every time.

As long as they don't die, people's endurance is often quite amazing, and this is true all over the world. Because people in a social state are often familiar with the rules of society. Unless they have to, they often don't break the rules, but endure until they die without resistance. If the knife is a little blunter, sometimes even death is not so unbearable. The Aztecs worshipped a corn god named Sinteotel.

As the god of corn, the worship of Sintotl has the same characteristics as corn. The chosen sacrifice will be worshipped as a king for a year, just as corn needs to be nurtured in the corn husk and slowly grow golden kernels. Then after a year, it will be torn into pieces like peeling corn kernels, and blood sacrifice will be performed in an extremely bloody way. Blood flows down from the tall pyramid and flows into the corn cobs. Onlookers rush forward to select the corn cobs stained with blood. These cobs will become their seeds for the next year and will be sown.

This ritual is not just a blood sacrifice. The temple priests are usually real agronomists, and the crop seeds they distribute are truly cultivated high-quality varieties. As long as they are carefully cultivated, the corn ears with excellent traits will stand out from the crowd and grow into very good corn next year. Then, through artificial shaking for pollination, these excellent traits can be spread to a certain extent, laying a good foundation for artificial breeding next year.

To obtain these agricultural services, one only needs to select one person every year to offer to the gods. Even the selected person may not struggle, because he will be treated like a god in the year before his death. Even in the period before being slaughtered, this treatment will not be reduced, but the guards will become more and more strict. After all, the Aztec state has a very strict organization, and it is not a big expense to offer a person as a noble for a year.

[So, after Elodeasha, our people will have to take over this system. ]

"The Night Shift Bureau will take over." Shangluo replied, "I will help, but I won't handle specific matters - and this time our cleanup is not just targeting gods like Irodeasha. This time we're cutting down mountains and destroying temples to clear out everything related to these. We're not picking on these, not to mention..."

Shang Luo paused for a moment, then spoke again:

"If Rome were gone, there would be less suffering in this world, right?" [.]

"." Phaethon, who had been counting the spoils nearby, looked over.

She nodded silently.

Indeed, if Rome was gone, the suffering in this world would be reduced by 20% in the short term, not to mention 50%. In this case, the high-voltage protection provided by Elodeasha was actually unnecessary.

"Why do I feel that the Romans are the most evil ones?" Phaethon shook his head. "But it's hard for me to say that. After all, I grew up accepting donations, and I am indeed maintaining the existence of Rome. I can't do my job and criticize Rome at the same time. Otherwise, wouldn't that just be talking about myself?"

"So, just leave it to me." Shangluo can handle everything here. Because Master Wang doesn't care what he can take away from here - if Master Wang doesn't want to take anything away, then no matter what happens here, it will be a local matter. Master Wang can naturally look down on these issues from the perspective of an arbitrator.

To some extent, this is similar to the logic of the Ming emperors in handling state affairs. In principle, the emperor does not share accounts, and the royal family does not interfere in politics, so when the blame is passed, the emperor cannot be blamed - it is precisely because of this that Hai Rui's memorial to Emperor Jiajing tore off this outer layer like a bolt from the blue.

Shangluo did not intend to say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. It was not that he did not want to share the profits in principle, but he actually did not want to share the profits from ruling Romania. He just needed to establish order here, because order was the most valuable resource here.

"Let the Night Service handle these matters. Miss Phaethon, what have you roughly counted?"

"Here's a list for you - 4 incarnations of ancient gods, 14 local gods, and 29 spiritual entities. One is the one you wanted, Freya's cat-cart, and I've picked it out separately. As for the rest, shall we confiscate it?"

Shang Luo nodded: "Leave the cat carriage, and let the Night Shift Bureau take care of the rest, because they need it. Some of it should be given to Hans, because he needs it. As for the cat carriage, it is the spoils of the Jinyiwei's battle today, so it is not taken for nothing - but is there something you haven't found?"

【Elf King】

"Yes, there is no Elf King's throne here." Phaethon answered, "I think this is why Elodiasha only dropped her equipment after suffering such a heavy blow - if I'm not mistaken, when you attacked the Forest King, it was you, Shangluo, who delivered the final blow? Because it was you who picked the golden branch."

Shangluo nodded.

"Then it's the same here. Although other identities can be stripped by force, the identity of the Elf King can only be killed in a specific way. Let's go back and study it. If necessary, we can hand it over to Karin - this is what you planned before, right?"

"She beat me like this before. I just don't know if she can really do it when she really wants to - let's put this aside for now, this is Rome's business. Come on, let me see that cat car."

Cat Cart, orange equipment. Interestingly, this cat car is not considered a mount, but a passive aura effect.

[Freya's Golden Chariot: The gateway to the Moonlight Hall. Warriors who died on the battlefield will become Heroic Warriors, half of whom will go to the Hall of Heroes, and the other half are said to go here.]

In fact, Valhalla is where the souls of all warriors go. And the souls who can go to Moonlight Hall are specially selected by Freya.

"This is it." This is exactly what the Jinyiwei needs now. This cat car can bring the dead from the battlefield intact and leave them for future resurrection. Because it symbolizes the "choice of the god of war", the dead can be "specially picked out" instead of being left to perish.

Here in the Jinyiwei, or in other words, here are the people who have eaten the golden elixir, they can be directly resurrected after being picked out.

As long as the cat-carriage is present, the Jinyiwei can be dragged back by the cat-carriage if they fall down in future battles, and then resurrected in a safe place and re-enter the battle - this is actually an immortal army organized in the same way as the Roman Internal Guard. It's just that the Roman Internal Guard often needs to rely on external objects for personal force, but here, the Jinyiwei has enough power to solve all problems.

This is a wonderful little tool that is most suitable for the Jinyiwei system.

"Just give it to Captain Lu. This is what we promised to give him. Now that we have the cat carriage, the Royal Guards can also carry out some dangerous missions."

[Wait. So you did this to better command the Jinyiwei, right? ]

"Well, if there were no cat cars, how could I let the Jinyiwei go on adventures? It would be painful if one of them died. Of course, if they don't have to die, then it would be much easier to use. Even if they are killed by a big monster, they can be resurrected not far away and rejoin the hunt."
