Although Hao Ren feels that this retrospective will be easier and more enjoyable than the previous ones, he also knows that there is no real easy and pleasant journey in this distorted Space - Time.
There are always all kinds of unexpected and unexpected troubles waiting for them.
In the Amazon jungle, they met Vivian wandering in the jungle for the first time, but before they had time to speak, Vivian entered the violent state before sleep in front of them, almost leading to the extermination of the group.
On the prairie of Mongolia, the tomb of Vivian is in front of you, but I do n’t know where to suddenly emerge. Hundreds of Demon Hunter and a larger number of Werewolf survivors, inexplicably involved in a melee after the Hao Ren is open shield Against the indiscriminate bombing, Vivian was forcibly awakened and almost lost half of his life.
And in this ancient Rome, which was in the last afterglow of the mythological era, God knew what was waiting for them.
After changing into a dress that fits the background of the times, Hao Ren walked in the ancient Roman city more than 2,000 years ago, wandering while gathering information.
This ancient city with a well-known name gave Hao Ren a great surprise-compared to the barbaric American tribal settlements and the rotten and dark European Middle Ages, the neat and magnificent Roman city is like an ancient one. Miracle, from the municipal point of view alone, it is even more beautiful and livable than the medieval European cities more than a thousand years later, at least here you can not smell the rotten smell that permeates the bones of the city. Tall houses by the road, exquisite stone carvings everywhere, decorative pillars that exemplify the power of Rome, these things together form a prototype of a strong kingdom-although at this time Rome is still only the Roman Republic and not the Empire, but It has already revealed certain qualities that belong to the empire. These qualities are in the grand style of urban architecture, and also on the face of each resident with pride and confidence.
Oh, the proud Roman.
Although Hao Ren knows clearly that the productivity of humans on the earth at this moment is far from being comparable to that of future generations, he still highly praises the city.
"So say, history is spiraling, and it will always go back a little bit when it is inexplicable," Heather Anna looked at this "grown-up" city with a very emotional tone. , "Even in the era of the Republic, there was a perfect urban plan in the city of Rome. The drainage system and pollutant treatment mechanism were managed by professional personnel, but these advanced things were finally smashed by the Germans from the wild land. A rotten, barbarous destruction of civilization ... Until the fifteenth century, Paris, France, did not even reproduce the sewer technology of the Roman era.
Obviously, the little bat spirits admire this city to the extreme: after all, it is the hometown of childhood, and this feeling is quite deep.
Lily stretched his neck and looked away: "Can we run into the Vivian of the year when we walk around in the city?"
"No, but walking around is by far the most effective way," Heather Anna glanced at Lily. "First of all, I ca n’t remember what I was doing when I was a kid. That was two thousand years ago. Now I am in Rome. Li will still get lost. Secondly, I and Vivian lived in no fixed place. We said that we lived in the city of Rome, but we actually wandered around the center of Rome and within a hundred miles of the surrounding area. Where to stay? "
Lily suddenly widened his eyes: "I'm going ... a hundred miles away! Then when will our blind cat bump into a head Ah?"
"So you need to find clues," Heather Anna's expression could not communicate with the stupid dog. "This is the tip of the tail of the mythological era. The gods have not completely finished yet-so then Many activities of Vivian and I are very public. As long as you walk around the city, you will definitely find something moving. "
The tail tip of the mythological era—Heather Anna describes this historical period quite appropriately.
Hao Ren reveals a thoughtful look: "At this time, are the gods on Mount Olympus still there? Hasselblad, can you tell me about the situation of this period, about the" gods "."
Hasselblad is still holding that paralyzed face: "This is the age when the mythological era is about to come to an end. All the foreign" spirits "on this planet are going downhill. Demon Hunter is constantly eroding their" God Kingdom " The main reason, another reason is that their own ruling order itself is not sustainable. At this time, Odin in northern Europe is still hurrying to send Valkyrie to collect heroes and warriors to prepare for the evening of the gods, but The vein of Zeus on Mount Olympus has been constantly retreating. If I remember correctly, before Caesar became active, Demon Hunter elder Amtura led a Holy Army to break through the space of Mount Olympus Barriers, our army and the defenders led by Arides fought for decades at the foot of Mount Olympus. By the time of Caesar, I led a second war group to attack Apollo ’s position from the southern foot of Olympus, and All the way to the front of the throne of Zeus-you will know what happened later, we destroyed the energy furnace and control center of Olympus, the whole scene of the collapse of the different space is even in the human Circles are clearly visible. "
Hao Ren of course knows this last earth-shattering event. He also knows that when Olympus fell, there was a group of Sirens on the sea. Then the gang of exotic items collectors took advantage of Olympus When I dropped the slag, I picked up a lot of tatters, including the idol of Vivian ...
"When did that happen?" Hao Ren glanced at Hasselblad. "Is Rome a republic or an empire? Has Caesar been assassinated?"
"Then I don't know," Hasselblad shrugged. "We don't care about the human world, at least at that time. The emperor replacement and social change of a human kingdom is for us and the monkey group. There is no difference in being a leader. "
Hao Ren: "..."
Lily has been looking around curiously after hearing the words of Hasselblad. Then suddenly a sentence came out: "As such, at this time, Olympus may be fighting Demon Hunter at this time?"
Hasselblad nodded: "Not only are you fighting, but even the historical" I "may be on the battlefield at this time."
"I can't really see it at all. The fairy world is about to collapse. The human society in the city of Rome hasn't moved at all. Look, there are a group of monks walking and having fun!"
"It is true that many times, the war in the" God Realm "is always far away for human beings, because the aliens use superb technology or magic to open up a variety of different spaces-they use this To show their strength and try to avoid living with 'inferior ignorance' human beings, but in the end, they protected the human world in the war of the gods, because the main battlefield is all in their different space "God Realm". Of course, the impact of the war of gods on mankind is still there. It is often at the end of the war, when the heterogeneous "God Kingdom collapses", the fragments will fall into the world, leaving countless legends and stories, just like the Nordic Divine dusk, then passed down in the form of myths and legends? "
Lily and Hasselblad discussed the fight between the gods, but Hao Ren suddenly thought of other things in his mind.
He suddenly realized that he could have other ways to understand the movement of Vivian at this moment.
"At this time, the **** of Olympus is not dead yet, is he?"
Hasselblad glanced at Hao Ren: "It's not good, but from the current atmosphere in the city, humans haven't witnessed the collapse of Olympus. The gods of Olympus should not be completely finished."
"That's easy," Hao Ren slapped, "Let's find a temple!"
Lily didn't respond at once: "What are you doing to find the temple?"
"Look for the so-called" Gods "to inquire about the situation!"
There are definitely many buildings like temples in the city of Rome.
Although it is not a grand scene of temples everywhere, as a country that is extremely inclusive and accommodating, Rome has never rejected the entry of foreign religions-as long as they do not shake the foundation of the country and Denying the Romans ’own values, a foreign religion can easily find a place in the city (of course, this requires paying a lot of money) and recruit believers, and this open policy directly leads Religious activities are prosperous in Rome, and there are many church buildings.
And in this process of religious integration, the ancient Greek gods from the Greek peninsula became the dominant. The most prosperous heterogeneous family in the Middle Ages spread their influence to the entire Mediterranean area, the ancient Greek peninsula, the ancient Italian peninsula, and the vast area around them. In fact, most of the many gods standing in the world are essentially Olympians. The gods of Sri Lanka-or their incarnations and variants in the world.
There is an inaccurate statement that the Roman gods are Greek gods-although this argument lacks professionalism and rigor in archaeology and mythology, it is actually behind many gods in the Roman city There is indeed a shadow derived from the Greek god. As the greatest successor of ancient Greek civilization, the Romans almost packed most of the Greek gods into their own mythological system and merged the various gods together, even if the names of these "gods", The priesthood has changed, but in essence, the worship of their temple will eventually be sent to the same place-Mount Olympus.
Hao Ren once learned from Vivian how ancient “gods” ruled the world. They lived in a “kingdom” isolated from the world, but in order to accept the offering and show their majesty, they must leave a mortal The channel of communication, this channel is a large and small temple built under their command. In addition to those small temples and religions of unknown origin, there are professional priests in large temples (or registered temples). These people are considered to have the power to "communicate with gods". This is also true.
At least until the gods die, the human spokesmen they choose are capable of connecting with their masters.
After getting lost for thirty minutes, Hao Ren found a place that should look suitable: Apollo ’s temple.
