After giving away the ring, he promised to enjoy a good life in the modern world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But there are too many eyes that want to peek into the wealth he has, and he promises that he must get rid of those threats before he can truly enjoy life.
The elixir incident was a prelude to the promise to see who those people were the real targets. At the same time, if you can stimulate some people to jump out directly, promise not to mind cleaning up these troubles first.
Ellison and Peck dejected, their mission failing, and they learn an even more terrible truth.
From beginning to end, it was a trap promised to them. harvested hope, but when he saw the light of success, he was kicked back into the abyss. What will happen next is anyone's guess.
Xu Promise took his wine glass and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the rough Pacific Ocean in the distance, and looking at the white sails on the sea. Countless thoughts flashed through my heart, but in the end, they turned into a long sigh.
He had reached a stage of no turning back at this point. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. From the moment he promised to meet the ring and have superpowers, he was already doomed to be unable to continue his peaceful life.
If someone else had been helped by the ring at this time, he would have the superpowers, now he has everything that he has promised at this moment, and he is thriving in the modern world. That promise will also be envious and jealous, and wonder in his heart why he didn't have this kind of adventure? But in that case, he was just thinking about it.
Because I have a heart that is not willing to be ordinary, I don't want my life to be so ordinary. So he promised to fight hard when the opportunity came.
Everything he has now and the environment he finds himself in at this time have already doomed his life to be unpeaceful.
"Are you pretending to be deep or are you really thinking about things?" The ring's voice sounded abruptly.
"Of course I'm thinking about things." Xu Promise raised his hand and took a sip of his drink, smiling, "I don't need to pretend to be deep. ”
"That's right." The ring responded, "Perhaps in your eyes, I am a very powerful being, able to give you superpowers, and able to travel through time. But in fact, in the world I live in, I am also a very ordinary being. Different latitudes, different worlds. Naturally, the view of the problem is different. ”
"You're extraordinary." Promise chuckled in response, "Being able to enter the low-latitude world is like suddenly being able to burrow into an ant's nest." There is no ordinary existence that can encounter this kind of thing. Even if you go back later, it will be an extraordinary experience that you will never forget. ”
"That's right." The ring's voice also brought a smile: "Now that things have happened, don't look back, look ahead, and keep moving forward." ”
"Have you read any philosophy books?" Xu Yu shook his head slightly, "I'm fine, and I'm very determined." Well, don't talk about that. Looking for me? ”
"Hmm." The ring responded, "I came to you at this time, it must be for the new mission world." ”
"It's been a bit frequent." Promise frowned, the interval between trips to another world has been getting faster and faster lately.
"Because time and space are unstable." The ring explained softly, "With the existence of that energy body, the time and space of the modern world will always be disrupted greatly. If you can't strengthen your energy world as soon as possible and digest that energy body, I don't know what the consequences will be after a long time. So now I'll let you go as soon as I find the right one. ”
"What are the consequences?" Hearing the ring's words, Xu Xu instantly became nervous.
In the conventional world, he may not be afraid of any challenge. But for the kind of existence that was born in the high-latitude world and can call the wind and rain in the energy world, the promise is still powerless.
"I don't know." The ring responded, "But there may be a sudden explosion and many worlds together." You know, the worlds you've been to before have a lot of very strong existences for the modern world. Once multiple worlds are connected to the modern world at the same time, it can be very troublesome. ”
"Understood." Xu Promise nodded, his gaze gradually hardened, "Then let's start heading to the mission world." I'm going to get stronger as quickly as possible and take out that source of danger. And then send you home. Only when these things are over can I truly enjoy the life I want. ”
"Good." As for the idea of promise, the ring is clearly satisfied: "We work together and take what we need." ”
------
Two and a half thousand years ago, the mighty Persian Empire invaded the Greek Peninsula with hundreds of thousands of troops, known as five million, in an attempt to take all known civilizations under its command.
Under the conditions of manpower and material resources at that time, a war of this scale was absolutely terrifying.
There were no 10,000-ton freighters or railway lines in those days. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together to act, and even the consumption of food was astronomical. In this case, this war can definitely be called a world war.
When the Persian army approached the Greek peninsula, the whole of Greece was in a great panic. Everywhere there is war and smoke, blood is flowing, and lives are dying.
"It smells so bad." Promise stood on a bare cliff, with black stones at his feet, and there was not even a touch of green as far as the eye could see.
The sky was full of dark and dense clouds, and the black pressure seemed to cover the top of the dark clouds, which made people feel dreary. The icy sea breeze sent a strange smell, an extremely strong fishy smell.
Behind him, the sea was turbulent, and the white waves roared and crashed against the steep cliffs, churning and turning into puffs of powder. In a few moments, it will come back.
"It's an interesting world." Promise stood on the cliff and observed the surroundings, and moments later the sound of the ring rang out.
"Why is it this sentence every time?" Xu Promise laughed, feeling very helpless that the ring was the opening sentence every time it was in another world.
"It's really interesting this time." There was a smile in the ring's voice, "Do you remember the last time you went on a mission to the world, when you fought against those gods?" ”
"Troy?" Xu Promise raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "You don't want to say that the world of this mission is the same as the world of the last time, but the time period is different, right?" ”
"That's right!" The ring's voice rang out, "It's the same world, only this time hundreds of years later. And I found some interesting things when I was exploring the world. ”
"What's the matter?" The promised curiosity was hung up, and he asked aloud.
"This world was originally controlled by the gods, who relied on the faith of humans to obtain divine power and live in the rich divine realm. It's just that hundreds of years ago, an extremely powerful human powerhouse suddenly appeared, successfully killed the god of war and the sun god, and plundered the godhead of the sun godhead. The ring's voice was full of smiles, "In the end, the gods attacked the human powerhouse together, but he managed to escape. ”
Promise raised his hand and touched his nose, "It's been hundreds of years, and this story is still circulating?" ”
"That's not a story." The ring continues, "When the news spread, the entire human world changed dramatically. The fact that the suffocating gods who were originally high up and powerful were able to be killed by humans made those humans who respectfully served the gods from birth to death feel that their faith had completely collapsed. ”
"And then the human world began to stop believing in gods? After losing the power of faith, the gods have fallen? Promise quickly took over the words.
The last time he was beaten by Zeus and other gods, he had to return to the modern world in embarrassment, but he has always remembered it. I didn't expect to have a chance to take revenge so soon this time.
"It hasn't fallen yet." The ring goes on to explain, "There is still a part of humanity that still believes in the gods. It's just that it's no longer enough to support the activities of the gods. In order to avoid falling due to the decline of divine power, most of the gods have chosen to fall into a deep sleep. It's been a long time since a god has appeared on earth. This is a good opportunity. ”
"What good chance?" Xu Promise already had a hint of enlightenment in his heart, but he continued to ask.
"The mission world that sent you to increase your energy is to give you the best chance of falling asleep to avoid the consumption of divine power." Sure enough, the ring said exactly as promised: "You can go and find those sleeping gods, and then kill and plunder their energy and godhead to strengthen yourself." That's a lot more energy than you can get from completing missions in another world. ”
Xu Promise raised his hand and gently pinched his chin, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "It's indeed a good way." ”
Because of the mass loss of faith, the gods could not continue to sustain their own divine power consumption. In order to prevent the gods from falling directly into stone statues after their divine power is exhausted, almost all the gods fall into a non-consuming sleep.
They are waiting for their opportunity, waiting for the time when humanity will beg the gods again.
Although this kind of thing has been doomed since the beginning with the continuous progress of human society. However, the God-killing War promised in Troy greatly accelerated the process.
In this land, the gods have not appeared for hundreds of years. And mankind's belief in the gods has greatly diminished.
"So what are you waiting for?" A flash of urgency flashed in the promise's gaze, and he stepped directly and prepared to go down the mountain.
"Wait." The ring shouted and promised, "This is extra money, but you still have to do your mission." ”
"Mission?" Promise looked puzzled, "There is still a task?" ”
"Of course there is a mission." The ring explained aloud: "After entering the other world through the time crystal wall, you have to sign a space-time contract. Otherwise, there is no way to act. ”
"Okay." Xu Promise shook his neck and asked confidently, "What is the mission this time?" ”
"This is a battlefield, and the Persian army is attacking here." The ring began to explain the mission: "Your mission is to help the defenders hold this place. ”
"Persians?" Xu Promise raised his hand and scratched his hair, "What kind of place is this?" ”
"Greece, Thermopylae."
