345 Jupiter
Jupiter put his face in order, and the ship's doors opened, leaving Mercury and his bodyguards waiting for them.
He stepped off the ship, and by this time he was in the Serpent Temple of Mercury.
The Serpent Hall is located in the middle of Mercury's territory, as long as it is within the city range of Mercury's territory, no matter what direction it goes, the distance error is no more than 100 Chongxuli, and the Snake Temple, like other lords, builds its buildings near Titan.
Mercury's Titans were female, and instead of building buildings on the Titan's back or shoulder, as Jupiter and Mars did, he was right next to the Titan, as if attached to it. The female titan sat on the ground leaning against the mountain, her eyes closed, as if she was resting with her eyes closed.
The snake hall is cylindrical and named after the countless giant snakes carved on the walls. Wherever they stand, these snakes give the impression that they are living creatures and make outsiders shudder.
The snake hall has two floors, the inner layer is inhabited by high-level humans, and the outer layer is inhabited by ordinary humans and slaves, and the walls of the inner and outer layers are also seventy or eighty meters high, and the ground is paved with blue bricks and stones, and the space of the inner layer is wider than the outer layer, and it is precisely because of this that Jupiter's golden ships can enter and exit freely.
"I know what you want to ask, before that, let's go in first?" Mercury bowed.
Jupiter nodded, and walked side by side with Mercury toward the palace.
The tables in the palace were filled with fragrant food, and Mercury waved his hand, and the slaves standing in the shadows withdrew.
"It's just the two of us left here." Mercury held out his hand, and Jupiter walked to the table.
The two sat down.
Mercury tore the leg from the crispy, juicy giant hornbill meat on the table and took a bite of it. "I'm on your side."
"You told Pruto about that, too."
"Hmmm! This leg is fragrant! You taste it! Mercury chewed and slurred.
Jupiter didn't move, he was thinking, what kind of medicine was being sold in the Mercury gourd, he personally sent Hades to Earth, and even intercepted him in the air, just to explain to him.
"I don't have an appetite." Jupiter glared at Mercury.
"Let's talk as we eat." Mercury took out a leather horn pouch, opened the stopper, and poured an emerald green liquid into the cup in front of Jupiter. "Taste, it's your favorite wine."
Mercury poured himself a glass and picked it up and motioned to Jupiter.
Jupiter hesitated for a moment, then he raised his glass, which Mercury touched lightly and drank it from his back.
He watched Mercury drink it all in one gulp, and he swallowed the wine in one gulp.
The aroma of the wine flowed down his throat, and the hot sensation made him feel the path of the wine soaking from his throat to the blood and then to his whole body.
With a glass of wine, Mercury poured another glass, and this time without speaking, Jupiter himself tore a leg of meat from the food in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hah! I should have called Mars. Mercury raised his glass again.
Without saying a word, Jupiter touched Mercury directly, raised his head and drank the wine.
After three glasses of wine, Jupiter was also drunk, and he wiped his hands and leaned back on the table, looking at Mercury with confused eyes.
"Now... Hiccup..."Before he could finish speaking, Mercury answered.
"Pruto is conditional." Mercury waved his hand, "Let's not talk about him." ā
Mercury shook it, he seemed to have a surge of wine, he took a bite of the bird's leg in his hand, and continued: "Before I took over the position of lord, there were nearly thirty-six cities within the territory, and in its heyday, thirty-six cities, although compared to you Jupiter, it was a drop in the middle. But among the 36 cities of mine, which city can handle the entire Chongxu, each has its own characteristics. ā
Mercury reached out, his voice suddenly raised, "And now! Look outside! Except for me, the Snake Temple, the rest of the cities have all perished and ceased to exist! Every time I sit on my ship, I can no longer see the glorious night scenes of the past, and there are only ruins! Ruin! ā
Jupiter looked at the spirited Mercury, who was silent.
"Pruto says he has a way to get us back to our old glory." Mercury's voice returned to flatness, he looked at the wine in his glass, and turned it slightly, "I just need to send him back to Earth." ā
Jupiter looked at Mercury and sighed.
Indeed, he is the first lord to be taken over by the younger generation of lords, although there are still older lords such as Gaia alive, and it will not be long before their titles will be inherited by younger descendants, even so, the status quo of Chong Xuan is still an unchangeable fact.
Chongxu has experienced too many wars, and the current prosperity is only a superficial situation, and he also knows that the cities around each lord are dying out, and although the energy supply has the efforts of the Forsaken on the earth, the energy consumption is not in comparison, but it seems to be a drop in the bucket.
"I can give you the agreement at any time, but I think that if you don't change the status quo, even if you make up this agreement, it will only be a long and useless piece of information." Mercury poured himself a glass of wine, and with a flick of his hand, a light and shadow appeared in the air, above which was the content of the agreement he had.
Jupiter looked at the content of the agreement, and he noticed that the content of the agreement that Mercury had actually had something he had been thinking about but couldn't understand.
"May we abide by this agreement, never open the electronic channel, and even if we go to perdition, we will not repeat the mistakes of the past!"
Jupiter thought.
"You noticed it too? There's a bunch of nonsense on it, and only this one sentence is useful. Mercury tossed the bone in his hand. I'm sure that if it were you, you would also give Pruto some help, just like Aphrodite. ā
"What's wrong with her?" Jupiter looked at the contents of the agreement, and he wanted to see if there was any other useful information.
"She? She also went to Earth. ā
"What?!" Jupiter looked at Mercury in shock, "Aphrodite?" ā
"I knew you would look like this, yes, I had the same expression as you." Mercury was satisfied with Jupiter's expression, he leaned back, tore a piece of meat with his mouth, chewed it, drank another glass of wine, and swallowed the meat with the wine, "Aphrodite believes Pruto. ā
"I know." Jupiter smiled a little bitterly, "She's always believed in the prophecy. ā
"Which of us doesn't believe?"
"Iā" Jupiter was momentarily speechless.
"The ordinary human that your men took away may really be the hope in the prophecy."
"So, you sent Hades to Earth to ask him to bring that man back?"
"It's just my guess."
"What did he tell you?" Jupiter watched as Mercury poured wine into his empty glass.
Mercury finished pouring his wine and motioned for Jupiter to raise his glass.
The two touched lightly.
"He said, 'I will fulfill my mission and give Chong Xuan a chance to be reborn.'"
