Chapter 563: Stealing the Heavenly Fire Plot
In the Olympus god system, Lu Xiaoqi admires this Prometheus the most, and his spirit can also move people the most. After knowing that the giant in front of him was Prometheus, Lu Xiaoqi was no longer afraid, and he said politely: "Hello, honorable Prometheus, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"Yes! Inhuman from the East, I'm in some trouble and need your help. Prometheus said. ,
Prometheus needs his own help? Lu Xiaoqi was stunned, he came out to look for a mission opportunity, but he didn't receive the task with Hercules' token, who knew that Seon was not blessed, and Prometheus actually took the initiative to send him the mission mountain gate on the way down.
Many of the myths and legends of Prometheus are closely related to humans, which means that Prometheus' mission is likely to be the main mission. Lu Xiaoqi recalled the legend about Prometheus in his mind, but he never understood why Prometheus took the initiative to come to him.
In Eastern mythology, human beings were made of clay by Nuwa, and there are similar legends in Olympian mythology, where the birth of human beings is mainly due to Prometheus and is also related to Athena.
In the myth of Olympus, Prometheus, the god of the prophets, came to the earth under the blue sky and in the middle of the sea.
At that time, the earth was overgrown with flowers and weeds, scattered with all kinds of animals, birds nested in trees and sang in the air, but there were no humans who had yet ruled the earth.
Prometheus wanted to awaken the seeds of human life buried in the earth, so that they could make the earth more vibrant. So he went to a river, took a large mass of dirt from its bank, took some water from the river with his hands, poured it on it, mixed it into a soft and hard mud, and made a man out of the mud according to the image of God.
This little clay figurine is very attractive to him. So he was filled with joy and made many of the same clay figurines. After pinching, he looked at the lifeless forms. Fall into a long contemplation. How can we give them life?
Prometheus is a god who is good at creating inventions. He took in the characteristics of good or evil from various animals. For example, the courage of a lion, the loyalty and intelligence of a dog, the industriousness of a horse, the foresight of an eagle, the strength of a bear, the meekness of a pigeon, the cunning of a fox, the timidity of a rabbit, and the greed of a wolf. In this way, they can move like animals.
But. They were only half-life, because they lacked the aura of the God who created them.
Among the gods. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was a friend of Prometheus. She watched in amazement from Mount Olympus at what Prometheus did. When she found Prometheus helpless as she looked at his creation, she hurried down from Mount Olympus and breathed the vital breath of God into their mouths. Thereupon. They gained intelligence and sanity. That's what makes you a real person.
Thus man was created. They got up from the ground and ran around like children, looking in amazement at the trees, weeds, flowers, and animals. They are also like children, who do not know how to think. They see these objects, but they don't know how to recognize them. They heard the sound of running water and the wind, the howling of wild beasts and the chirping of birds. However, they cannot understand all this, they do not know how to use their hands and strength.
They live in dark caves. Because they don't know how to make tools, they don't know how to use fallen trees

and houses built of stone. They don't know how to explain the movement of the stars, and they don't know how to use the seasons according to the laws of nature. They don't know how to farm and harvest. They are completely like children and need help with everything.
Prometheus was more than willing to help them and became a teacher to mankind. They learned from him to count and write. Under his guidance, humans observed the movement of the sun, moon and stars, built houses, and used cattle and horses to cultivate the fields. Through their industrious hands, they built sailboats to sail the seas. He pointed out to them the treasures underground, and they found gold, silver, copper, and iron. Following his guidance, they tried to make all sorts of medicines, using oil and wine to treat diseases and wounds. Finally, Prometheus also taught humans to predict the future and interpret dreams, and to divinate based on the flight of birds and the internal organs of animals. In short, he taught them everything that was useful to mankind and could make them satisfied and happy. People also thanked him and repaid him with love and loyalty.
Lu Xiaoqi admires Prometheus because he has been working hard to be the teacher of mankind, Nuwa created man in the Eastern world, but created man because of the lich battle that made her feel lonely. After the creation of humans, Nuwa did not care about the life and death of human beings, did not take on the role of a teacher of the human race, and even allowed the two lich clans to harm human beings during the Lich War.
Prometheus has been working hard for the survival of mankind, and his status in the Western world is far inferior to that of Nuwa in the East, but he has been working tirelessly for mankind. Even, in order to allow mankind to develop, he did not hesitate to offend the god king Zeus many times.
When Lu Xiaoqi came to the Western world, the plots of the creation of human beings by various Western mythological systems had already been completed, and the human beings created by Prometheus and Athena had developed near Mount Olympus, forming villages and towns one after another.
The mission that Prometheus was going to issue had nothing to do with him and Athena's creation of man, and Prometheus was still not imprisoned by Zeus at this time, which meant that he was still not stealing the fire.
The mission of the Prometheus series, the most famous is to bring fire to the world, Prometheus's arrival this time, is it related to the plot of stealing fire?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoqi was excited, Prometheus stealing fire is not a single plot task, after he stole fire, Zeus asked the fire god Hephaestus to create a beautiful Pandora in order to punish human beings, and gave Pandora a magic box for her to harm the world.
After Prometheus' fire theft mission, it will soon be Pandora's box, and then Prometheus will be imprisoned by Zeus. In general, this is a series of missions, and it is also the main plot of Olympus, and after Lu Xiaoqi came to the West, he had the opportunity to get in touch with the main plot for the first time.
The plot like the marriage of Frey, the god of harvest, is just an important side plot, and the rewards are already very rich, if you can complete a series of main plots. What kind of reward will you get? Thinking of Pandora's magic box, a strategic weapon, Lu Xiaoqi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Lu Xiaoqi said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency Prometheus. It's my pleasure to be able to serve you. What do you need me to do? ”
Prometheus said melancholy: "I created human beings, and after Zeus, the god-king, discovered the existence of human beings, they demanded that human beings worship them and obey them. In exchange. They can protect humanity and their possessions, and bless humanity for its labor and harvest. In order not to let Zeus make excessive demands on humanity. Increasing the burden on humanity, I offended Zeus in defense of humanity and led humanity to be punished. ”
Let's get to the point. Lu Xiaoqi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "What punishment did you get?" ”
Prometheus sighed, "Humanity and the gods have made a deal. To offer the best to the gods, and in order to ease relations with Zeus, I slaughtered a strong bull on behalf of mankind to worship him. In order for him to demonstrate God's omniscient power, I came up with a plan to chop the cow into pieces and divide them into two piles. Meat, offal, and fat are piled up in a pile and covered with cowhide; Pile the bones into another pile. Cleverly wrapped in plate oil, and the pile looks a bit bigger, too. ”
"Then, I asked Zeus to pick out the one he liked from the two piles, originally wanting to give Zeus a chance to be in the limelight, but I didn't expect Zeus to have such a deep grudge against me, he deliberately chose the wrong one, and used this as an excuse to refuse to provide the most important flame to mankind."
"Inhuman Mad Dog, I came to you this time in the hope that you can help humans get fire, so that humans can get the help of fire."
"Player Mad Dog, Prometheus has issued you the story quest 'Stealing the Heavenly Fire', which can be completed under the condition that the flame be stolen from Mount Olympus and sent to the human world. Reward: Unknown. ”
After receiving the system prompt, Lu Xiaoqi chose to accept it without hesitation, even if there was no reward for this task, Lu Xiaoqi would not hesitate. Prometheus's series of plots start with this important mission, and after completing the fire theft mission, it may soon be related to Pandora's plot.
Lu Xiaoqi got his wish and got the plot task of stealing fire, but he said with some doubts: "Your Excellency Prometheus, there are so many strangers, why did you choose to take the initiative to come to me to steal fire?" ”
Prometheus smiled: "None of the other Inhumans have the ability to steal the Heavenly Fire, if you want to send the fire to the human world, you must obtain the flame from the Sun Car, but the Sun Car has a blazing high temperature, with the current strength of the Inhumans, just getting close to the Sun Car will be killed by the flames." ”
"Huh! When Apollo, the god of the sun, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon, wanted to kill you, I saw your battle in the distance, and if you can resist the direct attack of the solar fire, then you will have no problem getting close to the solar car to get the fire. ”
Lu Xiaoqi suddenly realized, he understood why the pie would fall on his head, legend has it that Prometheus stole the fire by using a fennel stick to reach into the solar car, and obtained the fire from the sun car. Apollo's Sun Car, with the strength of the current fourth-order players, there is indeed no one except Lu Xiaoqi who can resist the flames of the Sun Car.
After casting the Water and Fire Crystal Armor, Lu Xiaoqi's fire resistance can reach 90%, and if you find a set of fire resistance equipment, the flames will not be able to cause damage to Lu Xiaoqi. Therefore, this task is not difficult for Lu Xiaoqi to complete, he just needs to hold the fennel stick and get close to the sun car.
The solar car was a part of Apollo's body, but it was not always with Apollo, and at dawn the solar car would automatically fly through the sky and bring light to the earth. At that time, Lu Xiaoqi drove the clouds close to the sun car, resisted the hot temperature of the sun, and was able to steal the fire smoothly.
Lu Xiaoqi smiled and said to Prometheus: "It turns out that I was asked to do the task because I am not afraid of the Sun Flame, but Your Excellency, even if I am close to the Sun Car, how can I bring the fire to the world?" ”
Lu Xiaoqi asked this in the hope that Prometheus would give him the fennel stick, but unfortunately Prometheus's answer disappointed him.
Prometheus said: "There is a strange fennel stalk in the world, and even the hottest fire can be kept in the fennel stalk, and if you find the fennel stalk and put it in the solar car, you can use it to carry the flame to the human world to find me." ”
Lu Xiaoqi was entangled, and said in his heart that I don't have fennel sticks! You don't tell me where I should look? Just as he was about to ask, Prometheus said: "Okay, it's time for me to teach humans, Inhuman Mad Dog, I'm waiting for your good news, the sun is extremely hot, I estimate that it is very difficult for ordinary fennel sticks to withstand high temperatures, you better find fennel sticks that are more than 10,000 years old." ”
Fennel stalks that are more than 10,000 years old? Lu Xiaoqi began to struggle, he had never heard of fennel sticks at all, which made him where to look for them.
In desperation, Lu Xiaoqi left Mount Olympus and came to the city of Athens under Mount Olympus, where he wanted to look for clues in the market.
The city of Athens is the most prosperous place of the Olympian god system, and almost all players who believe in the gods of Olympus will choose to trade in the city of Athens. In the city of Athens there is the largest market and auction house for Mythology, where most items can be bought.
Lu Xiaoqi could have asked Red Rose for help, but he didn't want to rely on Red Rose for everything in the West, and it was not a good thing to owe too much favor.
Coming to the trading market, Lu Xiaoqi was dazzled by all kinds of items, and after strolling to the area where various materials were sold, he finally saw the fennel stick he was looking for.
Fennel stalks are a common refining material in the Western world, and they generally appear on the market for about a hundred years, and they are of low value. After shopping around the entire raw material market, Lu Xiaoqi only saw a 2000-year-old fennel stalk, which was priced at 20,000 high-grade spirit stones, which shows that the price of a higher grade fennel stalk will be higher.
Lu Xiaoqi is now a rich man, he is not short of spirit stones, as long as he can buy a 10,000-year-old fennel stick, he can afford it at a higher price, but there is no one on the market.
After shopping around the market, Lu Xiaoqi came to the Athens auction hall and chose to check the list of auction items, on the list he saw a 6,000-year-old fennel stem, and the auction reserve price was 300,000 high-grade spirit stones.
6,000 years old is still not good, but there is no more advanced one in the auction house, and the 10,000-year-old fennel rod is estimated to cost about one million high-grade spirit stones. Lu Xiaoqi, who was eager to complete the plot task, chose to post the task in the market trading column, so that players with fennel sticks could contact him.
