Chapter 774: Hermes, the Divine Envoy
The two gods were furious by Zhang Wu's unbearable anger, blowing their beards and glaring. But they had no choice but to hold their breath and lead us up the mountain.
The road to Mount Olympus is a ladder built by hand, and I don't know that tens of thousands of steps go up in turn, straight into the clouds.
As the saying goes, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since both sides don't like each other, naturally they don't have to wronged themselves.
The two gods led us all the way forward, but they didn't say a word. Anyway, we can't talk about it, so naturally we don't have to be bored anymore.
All the way up, I saw the white clouds in the sky, the cool breeze, and looked down, and there were sheep intestine trails and strange traffic, crisscrossing and crisscrossing. In the distance, there are towering mountains. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and there seem to be several ancient Greek-style palace buildings standing one after another.
In terms of scenery alone, the location of Mount Olympus is truly majestic.
The exorcist's footsteps were naturally extremely fast, and he followed the stairs all the way forward, and soon saw the first palace.
At the entrance of the palace, there stood a dozen exorcists in black robes, with solemn expressions, lined up on both sides, and when they saw Athena and Hephaestus, they bent down and saluted, reciting the names of the gods.
When he looked at us again, he frowned slightly, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
I think it was the conversation between Zhang Wuren and the sun god Apollo that made the exorcists on the mountain think that we were uninvited guests.
Prince Chick whispered, "This is the palace of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. ”
It dawned on us that Artemis was one of the twelve main gods, and ranked eighth among the twelve main gods. While she was searching for news of the dead in the Far North Ice Sheet, she stumbled upon the news of Panguba.
It's just that at that time, Zhang Zha Paper and the Eastern Domain Lord Hua Lianhua were also among them. In that battle, Artemis was killed on the spot, so much so that no bones remained.
Although Artemis died at the hands of Zhang Zha Paper and Hua Lianhua, Zhang Zha Paper is Zhang Wuyao's cousin and a well-known character among the exorcists, and it is natural that the other party looks at us with hostility.
In the presence of Hephaestus and Athena, the exorcists in this palace did not do anything to us, but bent down and saluted and watched us go straight through the palace and continue upward.
After passing through this palace, the road ahead is much easier, almost every three or five kilometers, there is another imposing palace across the road.
Most of these palaces belong to the twelve main gods, and each palace is built to the extreme magnificence and magnificence. The exorcists who live inside have blue eyes and blonde hair, while others have black eyes and black hair.
But no matter what color or race we are, everyone looks at us with hostility on their faces and sneers on their lips.
Some of the best of them even have yin and yang around them, and there is a faint sense of vitality flowing around them.
Starting from Artemis's palace, we have experienced about five palaces, and there are more than three hundred exorcists of a certain level!
As for those ordinary exorcists who have just entered the industry and have never shown yin and yang on their bodies, the number has reached thousands!
Roughly calculated, in addition to the twelve main gods on the entire Olympus Divine Mountain, there are at least five or six thousand other exorcists. To maintain the eating, drinking, and Lazar of such a large number of gods, it is definitely not a small amount of manpower and material resources to be paid.
A group of non-productive guys enjoy the convenience brought by the living, but in the end they stand with the dead and shelter the Ten Thousand Ghost Alliance to kill the living.
If we don't shake out the good things they have done today, we will run this trip in vain!
But we said that we went all the way, constantly observing the number and strength of the exorcists on the sacred mountain of Olympus, and constantly speculating about how we should get out of here if the two sides really wanted to tear their faces.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a melodious bell, and then the red glow filled the sky in front of him, but the sun shone on the tallest palace of Mount Olympus, and the light was scattered, showing the image of a seven-colored rainbow.
Hephaestus, the god of fire, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, bowed down with solemn expressions. The exorcists in those palaces even prostrate on the ground, bowing and worshipping.
Yu Buren squinted his eyes and glanced at it, and said softly: "Pretend to be a ghost!" They put a prism on the top of the palace, and once the sun moved at a certain angle, the prism would refract the sunlight and form the shape of a seven-colored rainbow. From afar, there will naturally be colorful glow escaping. ”
I sneered: "This set of foolish methods, it is okay to deceive ignorant believers, and it is nothing to exorcists. Grand Knight Commander Chick, is that palace the residence of Apollo, the god of the sun? ”
The palace was magnificent, pavilions, and layers, and at first glance it was a sight of countless demigods and servants kneeling on the ground, kissing the earth reverently.
In terms of scale, it is far from comparable to several palaces seen before.
If Apollo, the god of the sun, was the first deity of Olympus, it seemed that he was the only one who was qualified to live in this palace.
Who knew that Prince Chick shook his head and said, "That is the Temple of the Gods, the place where the gods of the Olympian Mountain meet. ”
It dawned on me that this palace was actually a meeting room, specially designed to receive distinguished guests.
But it was said that the colorful glow at the top of the palace shone for more than ten minutes before it dissipated, and it was only at this time that the fire gods Hephaestus and Athena slowly stood up, glared at us fiercely, and then led us on.
It's just that after experiencing the illumination of the colorful glow, the steps of these two "gods" are much lighter, and even their mental outlook has become different from before.
We sneered in our hearts, but continued to move forward without hesitation, and after walking for about ten minutes, we saw that the square suddenly opened up in front of us, and an artificially opened up square appeared in front of us.
The square is the size of a football field, and it was built by flattening half of the mountain.
The ground of the square is extremely smooth, and the ground is inlaid with various metal patterns, and the metal lines still shimmer with a faint golden light when the sun shines.
If you look closely, it is faintly a pattern of the gods deliberating.
Seriously, not to mention the magnificent palace, just this extremely luxurious square, the amount of work is not ordinarily large.
Building houses, building squares and other rough work, the gods and lords on the mountain are naturally unwilling to do it, not to say, Olympus Sacred Mountain does not know how much manpower and material resources were used to build this glorious building complex on the mountain.
Zhang Wuren is right, what is on the mountain is not a group of compassionate gods, but a group of shameless scum!
The sarcastic look on our faces grew stronger and stronger, but Athena, the goddess of wisdom, shouted loudly at the top of her voice: "Middle-earth Soul Suppressor Zhang Wuren! Ho Zhonghua! Yu Buren! Zhang Wuxin! Together with the Grand Knight of the Holy Realm, Captain Chick, the Great Scientist of the Paranormal Research and Defense Agency of Babis! The chief disciple of the sword bearer, Havinath! Come and meet His Highness Apollo, the noble, righteous and omnipotent sun god! ”
It was a lengthy remark, but it was also extremely formal. So much so that we involuntarily straightened our waists slightly, unwilling to fall into our own majesty.
But he heard a majestic voice from inside the temple of gods: "There is a soul collector of Middle-earth!" ”
I saw the door of the temple of the gods open, and rows of exorcists in robes streamed out from inside, lining up on both sides.
As I saw before, some of these divine servants have eastern faces and some western faces, and it is obvious that the selection of divine servants by the Olympus Sacred Mountain is eclectic, and does not care about bloodlines.
There were about a hundred of these servants, all with solemn faces and unsquinting eyes. A passage was formed between them, and in order to enter the temple of the gods, they had to pass through between the more than a hundred servants.
I watched coldly and found that the yin and yang aura on the divine servants fluctuated greatly, and the clothes on their bodies were all engraved with runes that I didn't know what effect.
Obviously, once we penetrate it, we will definitely be affected by the yin qi fluctuations and strange runes on the divine servants, or fear, or horror, so that the momentum on our bodies is suppressed.
Zhang Wuren sneered, his right hand slammed, and the Pangu banner suddenly became windless, only to see that the black banner was stirring, like a battle flag fluttering, very powerful.
I only heard him laugh: "The sun god invites, how can you be afraid and not move forward?" Everybody! Please! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Wuren held the Pangu flag in his hand and strode towards the temple of the gods.
Although we didn't come to Olympus Sacred Mountain to fight, we were still full of fighting spirit, straightened our waists, and walked in after Zhang Wuren.
Walking all the way, I saw the gods and servants on both sides towering like mountains, but we did not lose any momentum, and the distance of 100 meters swept by, and we entered the temple of gods in an instant.
Unlike what you might expect, the Temple of the Gods is very spacious and well-lit. Inside the huge hall, twelve huge golden thrones stood majestically, each of which was almost like a pillar that held up the sky.
Under the throne, there are countless small pillars of different heights, these pillars are more than ten meters high, and the low ones are only a few meters. On top of each pillar sat an exorcist in a robe.
The exorcists sat on them with either sneers or expressionless faces, saying nothing.
We were in the midst of it, and we were captured by the momentum of countless gods, like ants crawling at the feet of the gods.
Prince Chik's face was terrified, and he whispered: "The twelve thrones represent the twelve main gods!" Three hundred small seats, representing three hundred demigods. In the Temple of the Gods, only the servants of the gods are not eligible to enter it. ”
Although his voice was small, the inside of the hall was extremely empty, and it seemed to be in line with the architectural method of amplification. So much so that as soon as Prince Chik's voice fell, his voice seemed to be loud and loud, spreading everywhere in the main hall.
Prince Chick's face changed, and then he frowned slightly.
But I heard a voice above me say softly: "Grand Knight Commander Chick, you are back again." Is it to inherit Hermes, the god envoy? ”
