Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 426: Offering to the Gods

"Gods come quickly~ Gods come quickly~ Gods come quickly~"

Circling around the mountain peak, the angel army ignored their presence and landed in the open space on the top of the mountain.

When he landed, Shangluo noticed a few things placed on the open space in front of him.

There are three small round balls, supported by leaves and placed on the ground.One is white, one is blue, and one is yellow.

"what?"

"It's some kind of food." Apollonia replied, "I had Doudou look at it before I came down. It's not dangerous, so I kept it as it is."

Shangluo glanced at the residents of Shuizhibu Continent not far away, their eyes were full of expectation.There seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but he didn't know what it was.

When he walked up to it, he squatted down and measured it with his hands - it was as big as a billiard ball. ,

"Ah, I understand. Some of them may still remember the offering of the three snake pills, so they feel that they should offer similar sacrifices to the gods."

"It sounds like some kind of sympathetic witchcraft." Phaethon shook his head, "Before the advent of modern times, our civilization generally had this understanding. The Aztecs used burning ointment to follow the sundial in the physical sense. They feel that only by offering sacrifices to the sun can they maintain the movement of the sun. And they don't know how the sun moves, so they can only offer "similar" causes to the sun in the hope of getting "similar" results. This is sympathetic witchcraft. . Here, these residents may have been lucky enough to see the scene of snakes offering snake pills to you, but they don’t know what it is, so they think you might like round things.”

"Yeah but what is this?"

"Let me see, you dodge to the side."

Shangluo moved her position and asked Phaethon to squat down.

She first twisted the yellow ball and squeezed it with her hands. It turned out to be very elastic.And put it in front of the nose——

Shangluo pressed her wrist: "Be careful, it may be poisonous."

"It's okay. When it comes to acting in the spiritual world, I still have a lot of experience. The symbols and essence of objects in the spiritual world tend to be consistent. Inedible things usually look inedible, just like mushrooms with warning colors. Same. Except for some very powerful poisons. This." She sniffed.

"How about it?"

"It's okay, you can eat it. This is a red fruit, which is the rumored 'fruit of a foreign land'. It's just that this one seems to be very big. Generally speaking, red fruits are only as big as pomegranate seeds, and you can eat a bunch in one bite. This one actually has The size of a billiard ball.”

"Wait, if I remember correctly, this is the one Persephone ate in the underworld?"

"Well, that's it, that's why I said it's usually only the size of a pomegranate seed."

"Wait, is there something wrong with this?" Shangluo knew the follow-up to that story - Persephone was almost rescued from the underworld.But because he ate the fruit of the underworld, he had an inseparable connection with the underworld and had to stay in the underworld for four months out of the year.Her mother, Ceres, was frustrated because of this, so there were only four months of the year that were not suitable for farming, and those four months were winter.

Of course, this is a Greek myth.The Mediterranean climate is mild, so Greeks find only winter unsuitable.It was unsuitable for farming every day in the desert, and Persephone there would be too full to eat and not want to leave.

"So can this be eaten?" Shangluo asked. "Please, brother, you have accepted something as valuable as Snake Pill, do you still care about this small fruit? After all, you have jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements. The cause and effect of this world cannot have any actual impact on you. ——Of course, it’s hard to say whether it will have an impact on Snake Pill. After all, although you come from the upper world, Snake Pill is an offering from this world.”

"It's really useful to have a professional consultant."

"I got your overtime wages, so of course I have to work. Our family always pays attention to having a beginning and an end when doing things."

"So." Shangluo then asked, "Your Excellency, consultant, as for these three 'Red Fruits' - although none of them are red, but you say they are red fruits, they are red fruits. As for the treatment plan for these red fruits, Do you have any opinion."

"I don't know." Phaethon answered directly, "But just ask. You see, Apollonia is useless at this time."

"I didn't bring my magic weapon! I didn't bring my magic weapon!" Apollonia held her toga and said, "My magic weapon is the oracle. I can't move the oracle here. But now It’s not bad to have Doudou, they are much more obedient than those other teams. You can even wear a toga when you go out.”

While she was talking, two noble people from Tianyi were close to her left hand like wings, helping her hold the hem of Toga's clothes from behind.

Shangluo didn't know why the Heavenly Soldiers kept holding on to something that could be solved with a big pin, but it seemed as cool as a floating cannon, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Come, ask." He stepped aside and stood with Apollonia when Phaethon began to ask.

As usual, this time the spear was used to draw a circle around the three fruits.The three fruits are covered in green light, and the fields in the distance also appear green at the same time. There is a blue sympathetic line connecting the two.

"Okay, no problem." After withdrawing his magical power, Phaethon stood up holding the Spear of the Sun.

"It's gone? How did you tell?"

"First of all, there is no red cause and effect. In other words, there will be no sudden events, which means that this 'story line' can continue, rather than 'incident killing'. As long as it can continue, any story has the opportunity to turn, so Don’t worry too much. The green stain shows its source. It should be grown in the fields of which village. It is their crops, not picked wild fruits. The crops are naturally safer. So they are not poisonous. It's definitely not poisonous, and the red fruit should taste quite delicious. Whether you want to eat it or not depends on the pros and cons."

"Yeah, yeah." Just like finding a strategy book, Shangluo felt much more relaxed all of a sudden, "Well, since it is edible, what do you think you can do about it, sir? Do you want to eat it?"

"From my playing experience and actual experience - any gift you accept will definitely open the event chain, because it means that you have a certain degree of sympathetic link with the other party. Persephone is bound by this chain , so you cannot leave the underworld. But for you, your existence is far higher than these residents, and your body will never be bound by chains. At most, it is this 'incarnation'."

"Avatar? What do you mean?"

"It means - in fact, these residents don't know who you are, right? There were four heavenly beings at the scene at the time. Although you were still wearing the same clothes as last time, the formal clothes worn by the two Jin Yiwei were the same as yours. Too many. Therefore, they may not recognize who you are. They just think that you have the power of a god, so they donate to you as "worthy of the worship of a god." But how they recognize you depends entirely on you. That's all. So, it's up to you whether you tell them your true identity, or just make up some nonsense to isolate yourself from your 'Creator' identity. I suggest you use an avatar to deal with them, so if there is a problem, just treat it like this. It’s fine if it hasn’t been here before, it’s not your main body’s fault.”

"Oh~~" Shangluo couldn't help but applaud her, "Professional, so professional."

"Hey, using a false identity like an avatar, a holster, or a mask is the most basic form of sympathetic shielding. It feels weird for you to praise me here, so you decided to eat it?"

"I'm hungry, and I want to find a guide to ask. So I accepted the favor. Let the heavenly soldiers put up the barbecue rack, and I want to grill it."
