Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Apollo, this is the only "god" that has retained its original name after being transferred from the Greek divine system to the Roman religious system. Many people in the later generations only knew that he was the sun **** in ancient Greek mythology, but in fact at first this "god" was only a **** of art in the legends of the Greeks. The functions of the **** and the **** of light. After the Romans included this **** in their religious system, they did not give them a new name like other Greek gods, but directly retained the title of Apollo. And in the late evolution of mythology, he was endowed with various functions-music, medicine, prophecy, light, sun ... In the mythological system of Rome, Apollo has a lot of clergy, which is fully reflected In this period, the brain power of the working people and ...

The fall of the kingdoms of the gods.

The reason is very simple. When the Thunder Giants (also known as the Zeus family) on Mount Olympus were still thriving, they directly ruled the creatures on the earth. Their existence is real and unquestionable. The mortals on the ground naturally knew who the gods they served and what kind of power they had, but as the Demon Hunter army broke the Olympus protective wall, Zeus and its 18 generations were involved in the war. Unable to get out, naturally there is no time to pay attention to the things on the earth. Hundreds of years of intermittent contact with the kingdom of God, but the priests on the earth must find ways to maintain the status and influence of the gods they admire, so there is no good way to create similar works for these gods. .

So all the original clear and definite gods became blurred, and after wrapping a mysterious veil, a lot of unclear clergy were hung.

On days when there are no religious events or celebrations, the temple is relatively deserted. At this moment, the Romans have not yet entered the period of drunken dreams and deaths throughout the country. The people still need to spend a lot of time on their work. Therefore, basically only the nobles or those who have encountered disasters and asked for help in the temple Civilians, and today is obviously a day when the temple is extremely sparsely populated. Hao Ren and his party stepped into the gate of the temple and saw the empty hall inside. The statue of the sun **** Apollo and the altar stood majesticly in front, while several monks were sweeping around the altar.

Heather Anna glanced at Apollo ’s idol and pouted: "The eyes are sculpted."

Hasselblad also looked up: "This one was killed by me."

Hao Ren: "..."

The monks in the temple noticed this group of uninvited guests who had stepped into the holy place but were defiant of the idol. An old man wearing a white robe with purple fringes came over. He looked at Hasselblad with a one-eyed look, which seemed to be a long-term Serving the "God" and let him have a certain sense of Demon Hunter's breath: "But are you looking for great Apollo guidance?"

Hao Ren glanced at the old man: "Who is the priest here?"

The old man stood up, like every clergyman of this era, full of pride and nobleness: "I am."

Hao Ren nodded: "Okay, we are going to talk to Apollo, you help us to contact him."

The old man was stunned for a while, which did n’t sound like what a person who came to the temple to pray for help or to worship a **** would actually speak—in fact, he ’s been a priest here for most of his life and has never heard of anyone. Come here to make this request: "Don't be rude! Do you know that this is a sacred place?"

Heather Anna took a step forward: "Of course I know, so we are here to find Apollo, otherwise where can we find Olympus ’s external window."

The old priest blinked, and suddenly thought that these people were barbarians who did not understand the rules of the civilized world, so he patiently explained: "If you mean to listen to the revelation of the gods, then you should first ..."

Lily was impatient, and suddenly took a step forward and grabbed the collar of the old priest. A pair of spiritual wolf ears popped out of his head with a "boom": "You can't understand the old man, eh! We are Looking for Apollo! Look at my ears, you still do n’t understand what we are doing Ah? "

The old priest stared at the wolf ears suddenly popping out of Lily ’s head, and then saw a group of **** energy **** summoned by Heather Anna, and finally realized what happened: "You ... you ... is a god? "

At this moment, the era of mythology is not over. Although Demon Hunter has attacked Mount Olympus, the aliens walking in the world are still often seen. For ordinary humans, these aliens have a unified classification: God!

Although this bizarre social and religious form is a bit ridiculous for the Hao Ren, which deals directly with the true God, in this era, it is indeed common sense, and even part of human life.

Lily nodded in satisfaction: "It's enough to know, we have something to discuss with Apollo, but now that Olympus is closed, we know that a priest like you has a relic that can establish contact with Olympus. , So come to you. "

Hasselblad added a sentence beside it lukewarmly: "This is a great honor."

The cold sweat on the forehead of the old priest dripped on his shoulder, and then he seemed to react suddenly, shouting loudly to the subordinate priests and monks: "Come on! Close the temple door!"

The solemn and heavy doors of the temple were slammed closed during the day, which may cause speculation and discussion by ordinary people outside, but for the Hao Ren line that is just a passerby, these things are insignificant. They led down to the depths of the temple under the leadership of the old priest. There is also an Apollo statue and altar, but there is no empty space around the statue for the worship of ordinary communists. Obviously this is a place dedicated to the temple priest.

The old priest trembled and took out a delicate brass box from the dark grid below the idol. After opening the box, he took out a gold badge with a sun-relief on his face with excitement and awe. Complicated expression, hand this badge to Hao Ren.

When Hao Ren reached out and took the badge, the old priest suddenly took a deep breath and said: "You ... you may not be able to contact the great Apollo."

Hao Ren raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

The old priest seems to have made a psychological struggle-as a humble "mortal servant", he actually does not really understand the world of "gods", nor does he know whether his actions at this moment will please the gods They still angered them, but after some thought, he still said: "In fact ... it is very difficult for us to contact the kingdom of the gods now. Perhaps the depraved behavior of humans has angered the gods. Ten years ago, they rarely surrendered their will directly, and our prayers were only occasionally answered ... especially in the last ten years, I have never heard the voice of the great Apollo. Maybe ... maybe we have lost God's favor ... "

The tone of the old priest was a little frightened. On the one hand, the gods lost their response to the uneasiness accumulated by him, on the other hand, they were worried that they angered the unknown gang of "gods" in front of them.

Different gods have never been a good generation of compassionate people. Their rule of humanity only requires humans to continually offer them sacrifices and entertainment for them. In this era, humans are more in awe of the "gods" With the feeling of fear, some kind of ruled spirit families like Olympus and Nordic Gods are better. If you want to face some wandering gods, it is really not enough to be cautious and humble.

"Gods" will be angry at any time, even if they are not angry, just to "please be happy", they may also slaughter the entire city of human beings. The old priest does not know whether these people are good or evil in front of them Uneasy.

The Hao Ren glanced at Hasselblad after hearing each other's words.

The war in the "Godland" will not directly affect the human world, but its influence will eventually spread to the world.

The first people to be affected were those who lived in the temples: because of the crumbling of the kingdom of God, most of the temples in the world may have lost contact with various "kingdoms".

However, Hao Ren doesn't care about this, as long as Mount Olympus is still there, he naturally has a way to contact there.

In the panicking gaze of the old priest, Hao Ren took the badge and then dived into his spiritual power.

The gold badge is just superficial. This small metal device has a delicate magic structure inside. Its function is to read the holder ’s mental signal, and after simple decoding and forwarding, it is connected to the location. Olympus communication center in different space.

It's a magic version of the intercom.

And in order to allow people with weak mental strength and lack of magic skills, this communication device also deliberately simplifies the function and reduces the difficulty of use. Even so, only a few trained and talented humans can activate it. Power, but at least the priests in the temple can use it.

Even ordinary people can master it after training, it is even easier for Hao Ren to crack the decoding rules of this stuff.

Almost effortlessly, Hao Ren erased the anti-theft chain module of the gold badge, and then activated its function, the surface of the badge began to appear a faint golden glow.

The old priest looked at this scene in awe-he could only make the badge respond a little bit with all his energy, and those responses were completely different from the brilliant scene at the moment. He realized the power of several "gods" in front of him, so he lowered his head more humbly.

"Your power is amazing."

Obviously, when the gods of Olympus are entangled with Demon Hunter and have no time to take care of the world, there is not much "piety" left in their priest class. The original reliance on violence to maintain the rule is naturally Not much sustainability.

"You go out first," Hao Ren thought of something, so he told the old priest to leave first, "What we want to say is the secret between the gods."

The old priest was still a little hesitant about this request: "But ..."

"Relax, Apollo will not blame you," Heather Anna glanced at the old priest. "But if you go out, we will blame you now."

The old priest shuddered and left the place in a hurry.
