Stray Chapter 5: Brain the “truth”
Argos.
In the palace, a grand banquet is being held. From princes and nobles to landlords, of course, they are all prominent figures in the kingdom. Commoners are not qualified to enter such a place.
The spacious hall, long tables, and neatly arranged braziers are burning brightly, bringing bright and dignified light. The fountains and clear pools inside the building reflect the changes of light and shadow. Silver, noble princes, nobles and big landowners...
For a moment, the shallow Perseus thought that the temple on Mount Olympus might be nothing more than that.
Of course, it's understandable that he would think so, after all, the poor peasants can only imagine things like "the emperor's golden hoe". Although Perseus is the seed of Zeus, strictly speaking, he is a demigod. , but did not awaken, and only lived as a civilian for twenty years.
"To King Cepus! To Queen Casipua..."
Someone raised a glass of wine and toasted in the direction of the upper throne with an excited look and a flushed face.
"We won!"
For a time, the whole hall was like a landslide and tsunami. Many people cheered excitedly. They felt that the battle had been won. Although the losses were heavy, the warriors sent earlier were all dead, but at least they successfully overthrew Statue of Thunder Zeus!
Yes, this is victory!
The king, who was young and strong, seemed to be at the peak of his life, also had a ruddy face. He didn't know if he had been drinking or was excited, but he stretched out his hand to stop everyone's applause and cheers: "No, it should be To them, our legion, the warriors of Argos..."
He stood up from the throne and raised his glass to the hall, a group of burly and brave warriors who seemed out of tune with the noble landowners.
"Heroes who dared to pierce Zeus' heart!"
"The temple is burning! The idol has fallen! We don't have to pray to him anymore!"
"After today, after our struggle, the sun will no longer fall into the sea, it will fall into Mount Olympus!"
"A new era has begun! It belongs to our era!"
I have to say that as a king, his speech skills seem to be quite high. His impassioned speech made countless people excited, and even the warriors couldn't help blushing and excited. He even trembled a little, feeling that he and others had reached the peak of life.
In such a dazzling and splendid place, seeing the admiring glances of the nobles in the past, the king was also so excited to praise the achievements of himself and others...
It's like they lost themselves in the sound of pretty boys, they all took it for a while, and felt that it was really themselves and others who declared war on the gods above, and also won victory, extremely heroic Ushered in a new era in general.
"And these heroes from afar..."
The king who came down the steps held the wine vessel and looked at the unfamiliar faces with a smile on his face.
His eyes were looking at the five people quickly, and he couldn't help but admire, such a perfect armor, such a superb craftsmanship, extremely close-fitting and thin, and the flowing metallic luster seemed to have an incomparably strong defense and Toughness, and the streamlined shape that is displayed seems to contain explosive power.
Is it like a treasure in myths and legends, so that even mortals can wear it with the powerful magic power of slaughtering dragons and conquering all things?
At this moment, the king, like everyone else, subconsciously flashed such a thought in his mind. Even if they didn't understand what the "future sci-fi sense" of the nano combat suit was about, they could instinctively perceive that it was a treasure beyond the times.
"I would also like to thank you for your great help. Here I would like to express my most sincere and sincere thanks to you...I just took the liberty to ask, I heard that there were originally nine people, why don't you see the other four now? A hero?"
The king made his expression as bright as possible, with a cheerful smile like a flower growing in the sun, as if he was really just expressing curiosity, not dissatisfaction.
Or it should be said that even if there is, it is impossible to express it at this time.
"...That lord doesn't have any interest in mortals' banquets." The leading man took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said arrogantly, "Not everyone has the honor of meeting the lord. .”
Since the pursuit of excitement, then it must be carried out to the end... ah, no, it is because that powerful person has made up his mind, then they also plan to go all the way to the dark, anyway, this is not a **** The flag, but a legitimate opportunity to hold the thigh.
The true God stands behind them, and they must be held at this time!
Looking around, the man didn't care about those eager gazes, and said word by word: "None of you are currently qualified to have this honor."
“…”
“…”
Then in an instant, the hall was quiet and silent.
Those nobles frowned and looked at each other, but they couldn't help showing some embarrassment.
Yes, just an embarrassed look.
Because no one dared to show an angry expression, or have any resentment, but they were obviously full of disappointment and unwillingness, but they still tried to force a smile. After all, this time, they all flocked to participate in this celebration banquet, in fact, they came for the mysterious "goddess" and the "magic teacher" behind her.
Even in Argos, the former can clearly see the battle that took place on the sea before.
The latter is accompanied by the return of the Argos warriors who know the situation. After their statement is confirmed, the news of the powerful goddess and a more mysterious and powerful magic teacher has long been present. Every powerful person knows it and is moved by it.
And there is
If you climb to the highest point of Argos and look into the distance, you will also be able to clearly see the incomparably majestic "miracle" that separates the sea and reaches the end of the sky.
This is also proof of this.
The unknown goddess confronted Hades head-on and beat Hades to the ground...
And the mysterious magician easily divided the whole sea, which is also equivalent to slap the sea king Poseidon...
This kind of news spread like wildfire in the city directly, and it spread to every corner in just half a day.
And the most important thing is that even the Argos warriors and warships who went to meet them returned safely and stably. They didn't encounter any problems. encountered any obstacles or attacks.
Isn't that enough to explain the problem?
Being able to provoke the two powerful main gods in a row, but not caring at all, the origin of this group of people is really problematic, and they can't be Zeus himself, so the answer is very obvious ... Which incarnations of Mount Olympus descended to earth?
Basically, it can be said that all people who have knowledge of myths and history have come to some similar conclusions after synthesizing the information on the surface. After all, they don't know that there are other mythological systems outside the world of Olympus.
Naturally, I would only take it for granted that only the Lord God can fight against the Lord God. After all, they are all powerful beings with names and names on those seats on Mount Olympus.
Therefore, it is natural to arrive at such a similar conclusion.
Help them mortals fighting against Zeus...
Don't give face to Poseidon and Hades...
Is it another scene of "filial piety between fathers and sons", and the authority of Zeus's generation must be overthrown by their own children just as they overthrew their own fathers? That's great, and what better investment opportunity could there be than this!
But this has nothing to do with them mortals. What they have to do is to seize this opportunity decisively, not only to smash the old order, but also to become the vested interests of the new era! Just like the so-called servants of the dragon, the emperors who just follow the secular world and open up the empire have no harm in their glory and wealth, so what if they stand on the chariot of the new king of the gods?
It's a pity...
The "truth" was speculated, so they were so excited that they suddenly found out that not all cats and dogs are eligible to get on the bus.
For a time, almost everyone, including the king, had a stiff expression and felt a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
The king's thoughts turned sharply, and at the same time he forced a natural smile on his face: "That's really a pity, I still want to pay tribute to the heroine...heroine and the sage's brilliance, I don't know what to call them, it's so rude..."
“…”
“…”
Another embarrassing silence and dead silence.
The man still didn't speak, just like the four companions behind him, his expression was a little indifferent and seemed too inhumane.
However, this kind of manipulation is just right, it shows that they really have a good control over people's hearts. After all, human nature is cheap, and they will never cherish what they get easily. If they take the initiative to join in, then it is easy to lose their dominant position.
Finding that these taciturn heroes still didn't speak and looked inhumane, and the king had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, he was also a little anxious.
After all, these few people didn't cooperate at all, and they didn't even give a small arrow to continue the conversation. If this continues, no matter how much he hints, it's useless.
Well, it seems that the high-class society is secretive, does not speak human words, and goes around with advanced verbal communication skills that are useless.
Taking a deep breath, the king decided to be direct: "Several warriors, as you can see, the kingdom of Argos is currently preparing for war, and we can no longer bear... the brutal rule of Zeus." Said to be the gods, but temporarily changed his tune.
Yes, no map cannons!
It's all the fault of Zeus and his brothers! We are going to overthrow the rule of this third king of the gods! This must be made clear!
"It's just that as mortals, our strength is always limited. Although we are not afraid of sacrifice, the Argos will never give in..."
"But I must admit that we can't bear the wrath of thunder, the revenge of Zeus, and as the king of Argos, I can't watch my people being slaughtered, and the meaningless sacrifices of my warriors... …”
With such an impassioned, righteous and awe-inspiring speech, the atmosphere was heated up and the emotions were in place. The king looked at several people with incomparably sincere and fiery eyes.
"So! I implore you of noble virtue to lend a hand!"
"I swear in the name of kings and ancestors that Argos will always remember your kindness, and this land will always honor your name!"
“…”
“…”
At this moment, almost everyone in the hall, including the soldiers who were just excited and unable to control themselves, held their breath and looked carefully at the dazzling and extremely dazzling "servants of God" .
