Chapter 2: The Old Gods Athena
"I know, but it doesn't matter anymore, for some reason, they will never hunt me down, and besides, they have to erase some traces for me that shouldn't be left, such as Lord Nuwa's large-scale amnestic, as evidence."
"Okay, G, as long as you think it's right, just do it, even if I will hunt you down one day because of the underlying instructions, you don't regret it."
"Okay, got it, what's the matter?"
"Five years ago, the goddess Athena woke up, but I blocked the news, and no one knew about the ark and the law."
"What?! That's impossible! Hirsch was taken aback and said, "How did she wake up without activating the consciousness bank?" ”
"This is the chief's plan, and it was carried out a long time ago. G, the boss leaves a command to become the new Lord of the Brilliant Capital, and the third system γ will tell you everything. ”
"Okay, I get ......"
Hirsch's mind was torn and turned, and he had a lot of questions, but he couldn't ask them, so he nodded and asked, "What else is going on?" It's okay to hang up! ”
β hurriedly said, "Wait, yes, G, I always think that Lord Nuwa's attitude towards you is very strange. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It stands to reason that for the members who betrayed the Ark before, she will definitely activate the Ark Hunt Order, but for you, it is an exception."
Hirsch was silent for a moment, then said in a barely indistinguishable voice, "...... I was scared of her. ”
β don't believe it, "Scared? No, I don't see any fear on your part from your actions. ”
"Heh, you won't understand it, because I'm afraid of her precisely because I don't have any emotions of fear now...... Like everything I did, it was expected by her. ”
"You mean, Lord Nuwa is controlling you remotely?"
"Who knows, in short, I have a feeling that everything I am doing now is to become her strongest fighter."
β system was rarely silent, "If it's true, then what are you going to do?" ”
Hirsch shook his head, "Take it one step at a time, I have to go and retrieve the Book of Heaven first, and you send me all the locations of the fragments." ”
"That's fine, but there's something I have to tell you."
"What?"
"The Fragment of the Book of Heaven in Haidu has been destroyed, and you have to go there and reshape the fragment yourself."
Hirsch didn't care, "Okay, you open the waypoint in Haidu. ”
"Open the waypoint, I can't do it."
"What?"
"Because you have now nominally betrayed the Ark, how can I, as an upright system, help the abuse?"
"Tsk, okay."
In the western part of the King Continent, the vast land of warriors, the emerging coastal city is rising.
The city, which was built on institutions and industry, was ruled by the descendants of three powerful families, and maintained the strength and order of Haidu with the power of family inheritance.
Like a rigid social class, the city is divided into three tiers.
The nobles at the top of the ruling hierarchy not only hold the mysterious power that originated from miracles, but also firmly occupy the pinnacle of power in Haidu.
Underneath the ruling family were the wealthy burghers and merchants, who relied on the shipbuilding industry and developed industrial institutions to sail to other parts of the continent and to the islands, and the blue sea was full of possibilities, and the sails of the ocean brought them countless riches. green
Beneath the prosperity of the majestic sea capital is a neglected mote of dust - they are the lowest class of the city, relying on heavy labor to maintain a barren life, and the cries of the inhabitants from the bottom are unheard.
Age of Kings, 380 Winter, Haidu, Third Port.
Snowy winters are rare for Haidu Alcana, as the twenty-two ports are crowded with sailors, merchants, travelers, and coolies from different regions who gather in taverns or docks to wait for the ships to arrive.
The sunlight after the snow pierced the brilliant clouds and hit the rough sea, and the coat of arms on the white sails of the distant ship became clearer, which was the steamship of the Tower family.
In the square of the priestess of the third port, there is a huge statue of the goddess of wisdom, and her gilded wings are shining in the light, as if she is about to fly into the vast sky at any moment.
The golden-haired young man with red lips and white teeth stood under the statue and prayed sincerely: O great goddess of wisdom, please let my brother who has traveled far return as soon as possible, you devout believer, Rhine.
Between the temple and the sea, there is an ancient forest, and a turquoise lake stretches from a corner of the forest to form Lake Avon.
The newborn Athena sat on the shore of the lake, spear bathed in primeval glory, and listened to the sound of prayer from afar, with her eyes closed.
After a while, she smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "What a pathetic human being who betrayed me, but built my god statue again." ”
After saying that, she opened her eyes and said to the calm lake, "Poseidon, come out." ”
A whirlpool suddenly formed on the calm surface of the lake, and on the throne of water in the center of the whirlpool, a young man with a trident, long aqua blue hair and flowing white robes, spread out in the water.
"Goddess of Wisdom, Athena."
He has a pair of aqua blue eyes, the beauty is thrilling, like the blue sea and blue sky, and his soft and handsome face, like his voice, makes people feel comfortable.
"Poseidon, I'm going to gather the twelve main gods of Olympus, you come and help me."
"Nope."
Unexpectedly, he would refuse, Athena was a little surprised, "What? ”
Poseidon half-squinted his eyes and said lazily, "I don't want to participate in the war of the Ark again, those guys are monsters, they can't be killed or defeated, I don't want my peaceful life to be ruined." ”
"A peaceful life? Poseidon, have you forgotten the glory of dominating the Red Sea in the past, and are willing to stay here and destroy with the nymphs of the lake with this planet? ”
"I think that's good, I really don't want to participate in the war of the Ark anymore, even if it's a war with the demon seed and the humans, I don't want to get involved."
"But as long as you live for one day, you will never deny your identity, Poseidon, the age of the gods, should have made a comeback long ago."
"Go back, Athena." Poseidon still refused.
Athena said in a displeased tone, "Tsk, you really don't help me?" ”
"Do you need to ask?"
"Really?" Athena smiled strangely, her spear plunged into the water, and in Poseidon's astonished eyes, she said, "I'm not as easy to handle as Zeus." ”
A loud bang that blew the heavens and the earth exploded, and the violent explosion turned Avon Lake into a deep pit, and Poseidon frowned slightly as he floated in the sky by the current, and finally sighed.
"I swear in the name of Poseidon, the god of the sea, that I will follow you, goddess Athena." Poseidon knelt at the feet of the winged Athena and kissed her spear reverently.
At this time, Hirsch, who landed in the third port of Haidu, looked in the direction of the statue of Athena with some surprise, as if she heard the prayer of the goddess Athena?
