Chapter 774 All roads lead to Rome

"The existence of Virtual Mirror has seriously affected the layout and industries of some myths in the border zone. Therefore, they will be eager to open up paths to allow the resources in the border zone to continue to flow back, and maintain their influence and control there. This There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Minerva said: "But the reason for breaking the virtual mirror is not the same."

"[Heavenly Court], [Buddhism], [Da Qin] and [Wuyouxiang] can unite and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to break through the virtual mirror. They also need to analyze and collect this power. Profit is what connects these huge myths. The key to the group.”

 A smile rose on the head of this ghostly assistant of the Roman goddess.

"We don't know the progress there, but Rome has Roman methods. Regarding the experience and skills of war and violence, Rome is by no means inferior to any known pantheon. However, sometimes war is not the best method. "

“Our method is to complete the trial of the hero through the [Colosseum], let him receive baptism and blessing from the gods at the [Pantheon], and then pass the blessing through the [Arch de Triomphe], and then ride the [Roman Chariot] into [ [Path of Glory]... We will send heroes into the virtual mirror, and they will represent the will of Rome to lead the local civilization, and then we will lock and capture them."

“This is the Roman way. So I say that the virtual mirror is both a danger and an opportunity.”

Lu Yao didn’t think Minerva was bluffing.

The other party showed a civilization with runes. In low-dimensional games, this is supervised by the "Spiritual Lord" and cannot be faked.

 Minerva asked herself to come here to discuss cooperation, presumably to prove it through the kinks of divine theory.

Rome put many captured worlds into investment centers and deliberately erased their names, of course to facilitate cashing out in the future.

What Lu Yao is concerned about is that Rome has a way to enter the virtual mirror, so why doesn't it cooperate with other myths?

Regarding this issue, Minerva explained: "Rome tried it. We visited [Heaven], [Buddhism], [Da Qin], [Celtic Mythology], [Greek Mythology]... But it is a pity that due to various reasons , no cooperation has been negotiated.”

“Due to the particularity of this method, only Rome can operate it. There is a possibility of failure when entering the virtual mirror, and the hero will completely lose contact after entering, so whether it can successfully anchor the world there is also unknown.”

“Rome cannot guarantee all kinds of uncertainties, which is naturally a core issue for other mythological cooperations—they cannot supervise, they can only trust Rome. They cannot accept this.”

"The virtual mirror is like a filter covering the edge of the leap zone and the border zone. It will capture some of the worlds, and the worlds it determines to be abnormal will be solidified and frozen in the space of the virtual mirror, while other parts of the world will be pushed away by it. Enter the rear border zone.”

Minerva said: "It's like fishing, catch the big fish and let go of the small fish."

-Why?

 Lu Yao asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's the spatial distortion caused by an accident in the border zone. Maybe the other end of the virtual mirror is connected to the truth side, triggering the laws there. Or maybe it's just a new natural disaster, or even strong regular turbulence. The causes of concentration...are so diverse that it is difficult for my poor mind to enumerate and conclude."

The ghostly figure named Jiujiu appears harmless, with lines of text displayed on his head.

 Lu Yao said again.

 —These are not enough.

“It seems that Mr. Yaoshen is really cautious...”

Minerva flattered, and then said: "I can understand that the long decline of Rome in these years has probably made many people lose confidence. From the secular mortals to the gods who tease us in Rome, Rome has gone through the transformation from the past. The historical process of the glory of Rome, to the spirit and orthodoxy of Rome, to the joke of Rome today.”

 “Then let me tell you something in advance.”

“Mr. Yao, have you ever heard of a Roman proverb? It’s called “milleviaeducunthominespersaeculaRomam”, or it was later shortened to “omnesviaeromamducunt”. "

Lu Yao quickly copied and pasted it and checked it.

 It turns out to be the classic saying “all roads lead to Rome”.

-continue.

“This sentence was originally used to describe the vast territory of Rome. It has long been the absolute center of many myths, attracting pilgrims from the gods of the virtual and real universe and various civilizations.”

“So, does Mr. Yaoshen know that this was originally the core strength of Rome?”

  Text pops up rhythmically on the head of the ghost villain.

“‘All roads lead to Rome.’ This is the ability of Rome. It can connect Rome to any world, region, or space in the universe, and build a Roman road across multiple layers of space... whether it is a crawl space, The boundary zone, the leap zone and even the border zone, we in Rome can connect to them, so that we can reach them directly. "

Lu Yao was really surprised this time.

  Does Rome have its own transportation hub characteristics?

 But since he has this ability, why has he fallen into this horrible state?

 It stands to reason that the stronger the transportation, the stronger the economy and trade?

At present, the important trade hubs of the gods include [Western Elysium], [The Other World], [Blue Bridge] and other places, but I have never heard of the Roman [Pantheon].

 All kinds of doubts kept growing in Lu Yao's mind.

"Of course, this ability is not achieved overnight, and it is inseparable from the exploration and attempts of the Roman gods in the past. Many years ago, in the heyday of the twelve main gods of Rome - or with Terence, the thirteen main gods, Rome was Relying on this key strength, we can attract all worlds and make thousands of gods and major civilizations our followers."

Minerva spoke calmly: "The Roman gods at that time did not know the nature of this ability. They only applied and expanded it to create Rome's [Road to Glory]."

“The advantage of Rome is that it pays attention to practicality and application, which also allows Roman mythology to replace the once bright and dazzling Greek mythology, defeating idealism with pragmatism.”

"But the shortcoming is also here. Rome has made great achievements in agriculture, astronomy, geography, military and medicine, and engineering technology. It is good at integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and does not pay attention to the construction of abstract theoretical frameworks, so it cannot build on the existing foundation. A breakthrough was made on the road. The sudden closure and inability to open the [Road of Glory] gave the Roman gods nothing to worry about."

The Roman goddess continued to reveal: "In the past, people did not conduct in-depth research and deconstruction, and did not pay attention to theoretical concepts. This is an area that Greece is good at. Although Greece has had its ups and downs, it has always been prosperous and indeed has enough confidence. "

“After the decline of Rome, we spent many years and took many detours before we gradually gained some insights.”

"Mr. Yaoshen must have guessed what I said, right?"

“Yes, [all roads lead to Rome] is essentially a law.” Lu Yao: “…”

He thought in his heart, "F*ck."

Rome is doing this quietly.

 It doesn’t look like it’s a joke or used to brag about investment.

Lu Yao’s mind was running rapidly.

If "all roads lead to Rome" is regarded as the core of Rome today, then it makes sense that Rome consumes huge amounts of money and owes foreign debt.

 They have invested a lot of resources into this law, experimenting, testing and utilizing it to obtain reliable methods of use.

 Lu Yao also has some experience in this.

Like [The First Law of the Old Gods], its external manifestation is the black light phenomenon, which scans and strikes every mythical anchorage. But after so many years, the gods still don't have a definite response.

"Ling Gong" concluded that under control conditions, the strength of space solidification is inversely proportional to the number of old gods.

 What are the specific characteristics and prerequisites of controllable conditions? How to judge space solidification?

Only the Eldar know these.

Although early Rome had experience in using it, it does not mean that they really understood this phenomenon, just like Lu Yao knew that as soon as Xing Tian killed more of the old gods, the black lantern would go berserk and tear apart the space.

 So it will inevitably require a lot of time and continuous investment of manpower and material resources.

Rome did not hesitate to use all the power of mythology to hit it. This is indeed an opportunity to revive Rome.

Judging from Minerva's attitude, it seems to have achieved results.

On the screen, the dialog box above the ghost assistant tweeted: "Our mastery and understanding of [All roads lead to Rome] far exceeds any era in Rome. A lot of trial and error on it has also allowed us to correct a lot of mistakes." ideas, and got the correct method of operation.”

“So, we can use this law to send our Roman heroes into the virtual mirror. Let them seize the world, conquer civilization, and spread the faith and culture of Rome. There is a vast blue sea over there.”

"To this end, we are looking for suitable partners everywhere. Mr. Yao Shen has dealt with Xu Jing. We most need an experienced and powerful Lord God like you, and you can also use our laws."

"Of course, if you are worried, you will have no problem picking out the trophies in the world you harvested. There are not only the worlds left behind by various myths, but also some very ancient, weird and interesting civilizations, and even some special void biomes. .”

 Lu Yao is lying when he says he is not moved.

 Monopoly is always the most profitable business.

  —Tell us about ways of cooperation.

Minerva saw hope and immediately actively lobbied: "The outside world thinks that Rome is now weak and poor, but as long as we sell these worlds, it will recover soon. So don't worry, we don't need your investment. "

“We hope that you can enter the [Road of Glory] with us. There is a very valuable place in the virtual mirror. The situation in that place is relatively complicated, and only the Lord God who is powerful enough can be sure to enter.”

 Get a copy?

  Or go alone and form a team with them.

Lu Yao did not hesitate.

  —Please ask Gao Ming.

It is impossible to go into danger alone.

 “What if I can get a lot of godhead there?”

-Not interested in.

 Brother, you can produce the godhead yourself.

Seeing Lu Yao's cold determination, Minerva stopped trying to persuade him.

"It's a pity. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Minerva said: "Then I won't waste your time. I will leave. If you want to contact us, please call [Messenger of the Gods]."

 He comes quickly and leaves quickly.

 Lu Yao is finally confirmed.

Minerva indeed has two missions. One is to try its best to settle the turmoil in Dog City, and the other is to negotiate dungeon cooperation with itself.

Lu Yao suddenly realized.

Roman stared at Dog City, and it seemed that he was not only staring at the large amount of fire of faith there, but also seemed to pay more attention to the reserve of godhead inside.

 Lu Yao thought for a while and turned on his work phone.

This time he talked to Song Shiyi as Huang Jia.

 “I want to talk to Teacher Zao. Is he back?”
