Chapter 44: Hephaestus
Act-44
"Everyone, please stop what you are doing, and the Pope will say two words to you in response to the revelation you have brought."
The messenger went to the place where the peony blossoms bloomed at some point, and there was a marble pavilion outside the pavilion, and the Pope should be in the pavilion in the direction of his salute.
In other words, what is his strong sense of déjà vu for inviting school leaders to speak on stage? Aren't they here to eat and drink, but to receive the entrance ceremony to some mysterious school?
"Ahem." There was a weak cough in the gazebo, followed by a faint voice, but it was so low that no one could hear what he said.
No, there was one person who heard it, and that was the messenger.
He smiled wryly and repeated the revelation interpretation of the Pope just now.
"God came into the world to spread goodness and justice. The temple does not tolerate the slightest bit of squalor and darkness, so among you, only those who have passed the test of the messenger of the gods, that is, the Pope, are eligible to enter the underwater temple. ”
"Didn't you say that as long as you pass the pilgrimage route, you can qualify?"
"It's just, why is there such an ordinance now?"
"We are the ones who bring the revelation of the gods, how can you, the messenger of the gods, have the right to drive us out?"
"Yes, do you want to blaspheme the norms?"
Some people in the peony garden suddenly exploded, shouting and shouting, wanting to use their hysteria in exchange for this precious opportunity.
Jiang Tian pursed his lips disdainfully, these people, this is the case in this life. I don't understand the truth that the situation is stronger than people, and I don't understand the common sense that the final interpretation belongs to the organizer.
Want an empty glove white wolf? Who do you think you are? In the past and present, your type is missing? Or is it missing your backup plan?
Sure enough, the ship's passengers, who shouted that they had brought divine revelation, were all subdued by a Templar who suddenly entered the venue before they could blink an eye.
Jiang Tian remembered that guy, he seemed to be the last of the group of Templars.
However, the swift and smooth movements like the wind just now, even if he is the last one in the ranking, he is not an ordinary knight.
He glanced at Karp, who was drooling over a table of donuts, and seeing that he didn't react, he walked to the table without care, intending to taste the royal cuisine.
At this point, however, after the person who raised the question had been resolved, the Pope seemed to have tacitly agreed to his proposal.
So, after a faint voice, the messenger spoke again.
"My test is simple and I don't hurt anyone. So, everyone can rest assured.
The messengers of the gods walk the world, bringing light and salvation, and naturally they will not bring calamity and pain to the world.
And my trial is also related to salvation, and when you have eaten and drunk enough, you will return to the room I have arranged for you, and the trial will begin in earnest.
Those who want to give up can leave during this time, and the bishops will also provide some valuable souvenirs for this part of the people. ”
After saying this, a faint voice was heard in the hall again, and the messenger nodded, and then helped the listless pope to leave along the other road.
"Boy, what do you say this test will be?" Karp nibbled on a doughnut and came to Jiang Tian's side, looking at the back of the departing Pope, thoughtfully.
Jiang Tian shook his head, how could he know what this test was. This kind of existence that is completely detached from the original work, how awkward it is to look at it.
"Well, no matter what this test is, it has nothing to do with me. Hahaha. Karp laughed a few times, no longer caring about the so-called test, but instead focused on the doughnuts of the whole table.
It's really a navy with no conscience, if the soldiers of my Great Celestial Empire find that there is something suspicious here, then why don't you peel off the cocoon and make this country clear?
However, the superstructure is different, and the army under its rule is naturally two styles. We can't have the luxury of hoping that the backward old social government of this semi-slavery, semi-feudal, and semi-capitalist society can be compared with the advanced system of our new era, right?
Because of the sudden test, the people who were still enthusiastic seemed to be poured cold water on their heads. In the entire high-level banquet, except for a few people who were really heartless, everyone was sad.
At the end of the banquet, Jiang Tian and Luo were divided into different room keys, and there was only one number on the key, which should be the room number of each of them.
However, judging from the fact that everyone is separated, it seems that the Pope intends to put an end to possible group behavior.
However, speaking of which, the Palace of Saint-Versailles is really large, and the passengers and sailors of the Tilias combined, not to mention a hundred, there are still more than fifty. With a wave of his hand, more than fifty independent rooms were prepared, this kind of wealth and courage.
In the face of this kind of rich person, Jiang Tian just wants to say "local tyrant, let's be friends"!
The Palace of St. Versailles, known as the second most luxurious building on Norwen Island, covers a huge area, and it is very easy for people like Jiang Tian who come for the first time and have slight directional obstacles...... Lost.
After seeing the door engraved with mysterious characters for the third time, Jiang Tian gave up, he was not the one who could find the right room in a strange place.
But there are not many people around!
Looking at this gate, Jiang Tian's heart was crossed, and he stepped forward and knocked a few times.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response from inside the door. Jiang Tian tried to twist the handle on the door, but with a little force, the door was opened.
Jiang Tian walked into this room, and was frightened by the magnificent decoration and home repair in the room, this room list said that the area he saw might be as wide as half a floor of their dormitory!
And the decorations inside are everywhere showing the pope's magnanimity, such as what gold paves the wall, the skin of the rare beast as a carpet and so on are all basic operations. What's even more exaggerated is the whole layer of colored crystals on the ceiling, which is not known to be the structure inside, but it is actually brilliant, as if a galaxy is imprisoned in it, which is used as a night lighting for the room.
"MMP, it's so magnificent, it's nice to be rich." Jiang Tian's eyes swept around, and found that there was no one in the room that emitted a faint fluorescence.
This made Jiang Tian, who was going to come in and ask for directions, a little confused, if no one told him the route, he might not be able to find a place to live until daytime.
Why don't you spend the night here?
As soon as this thought appeared, it occupied Jiang Tian's entire brain.
He hadn't rested in such a luxurious place before, and leaving before the owner of the room came back shouldn't cause any sensation, right?
Hesitating, Jiang Tian walked to the side of the big bed that was half-covered with a gauze tent, he was lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, even if his eyes were closed, it was the luxurious furniture and decoration, and he seemed to have a deep understanding of what it meant to be a rich man at this time.
What a trench!
"Hmm, it's heavy!"
Alas, how can there be a voice under him?
Jiang Tian turned over and lifted a corner of the quilt spread under him.
"Hello."
There's actually a person under the quilt!
Damn, there are people! Why didn't you hear when you knocked on the door just now?
Jiang Tian took a step back, worried about whether she would yell and make a noise about the soldiers and knights.
"Did you send Ista to play with me?" The small voice in the quilt continued.
Ista? Who's that?
Wait, what she meant by that was that Ista who often sent people to play with her?
In order to ensure that his identity was not revealed, and to ensure that he would not go to the cross in the central square the next day, Jiang Tian decided to play a white lie to this little guy.
"Well, I am." Jiang Tian tried his best to make his tone sound soft, he looked at the little guy who was probing his brain, and thought to himself that she was so timid, she must be easy to deceive.
"I'm Hephaestus, what's your name?" The voice is still small, timid, and it seems that he is still a little guy who is afraid of life?
"Mmmm, I'm Jiang Tian, it's nice to meet you." Was it originally called Hephaestus? The people who are named after the gods on Norwin Island should have a high status, right?
Oh yes, introduce. There are three ancient weapons in the world of pirates, namely Ouranos, the king of the sky, Pluto, and Poseidon, the king of the sea.
All three are the names of gods in Greek mythology!
And Hephaestus is also one of the twelve main gods of Greece, the god of craftsmen who married Venus (Aphdirote), the goddess of love, and made weapons and armor for Achilles, and even the famous Cupid's bow and arrow were also made by him.
On this theologically prevalent island, living in such a luxurious palace as the Palace of St. Versailles, and still in the name of God, the status of this little guy must be ridiculously high.
