Atlantis Temple

After more than three months of arduous journey, Zhao Deming finally arrived at the destination of the trip, the temple, looking back on this journey, it was completely different from what he imagined, there was no scenery at all, and he didn't see any of the novel creatures in his brain before, all he saw were human beings, or strictly speaking, he followed, maybe there were other intelligent creatures in the same boat with him, but he would never see it, he was treated as a VIP along the way, except for the two followers who had been serving him, I haven't seen any other creatures, I really don't know if I'm traveling or squatting in prison, and the most painful thing about this trip is that he vomited all the way, and the things in the dormant warehouse really make him disgusting, and it is said that it is still high-end goods, and it really makes him speechless.

"Who's invite, I'll come" A crisp voice sounded, which also interrupted Zhao Deming, who had been in a daze in the teleportation cabin, a slender humanoid creature with a height of about two meters and a half and a black robe appeared in front of him, looking at the other party's somewhat elegant posture, he suddenly became a little distracted, "Could this be the Atlanteans, how do you feel a little different from the mural?" ”

"Please go this way, the high priest and the high commander are waiting for you," the comer seemed to remind Zhao Deming, "Ah...... Okay, please lead the way" Zhao Deming hurriedly walked out of the teleportation cabin, while following the other party's guidance, while also admiring the style of this temple, all made of black rocks The temple is particularly solemn, and the occasional golden lines are decorated in it, which adds some mysterious atmosphere, in addition to these, what he saw the most was a round fire plate that emitted golden light, he guessed that this should represent the sun, because the Atlanteans have the totem worship of the sun.

The receptionist did not stop Zhao Deming from asking them to act extremely unreasonably, the dignified Atlantean temple was strictly static and noisy and looking around, if it weren't for the high priest's advance instructions, she probably would have stopped it strictly, but fortunately, it was coming soon, she could finally get rid of this unreasonable person, "Please come here, the high priest and the grand commander are waiting for you inside"

Zhao Deming glanced at the door pointed to by the other party, a little confused, the receptionist seemed to see his confusion, did not make a sound, just gently pushed out a gap in the door, and then said "please" and turned his head and left.

The high-tech along the way made Zhao Deming spoiled, and he really didn't get used to it in the face of suddenly returning to some primitive things.

"Distinguished guests don't want to stand at the door, please come inside, okay?" A somewhat slender voice came from the room, and at this time Zhao Deming reacted a little, pushed the door and walked in.

Zhao Deming, who pushed the door in, was first greeted by two Atlanteans sitting on a stone bench who were also dressed in black, and one of them had some simple gold decorations on his black robe.

"Please don't be restrained, please sit there first," the Atlantean with some gold ornaments said in a delicate voice, pointing to a stone bench in front of her, "I am the High Priest of the Atlanteans, and next to me is the Grand Commander"

Zhao Deming, who came closer, wanted to say hello to them first, but after stretching out half of his right hand, he felt that he seemed to be a little rude, but he couldn't think of any more suitable etiquette, so he stopped somewhere, but fortunately, the high priest was very eye-catching, so he broke his embarrassment.

"It's all because we're too anxious, we didn't introduce you to our customs, since you use the way of human beings on the earth, then I'm also willing to accept it", he shook Zhao Deming's right hand as he spoke, and Zhao Deming also stretched out and held it together with the high priest's slender hand, "Please sit down first, now use our way to come to the side, you just need to say a word of praise to the sun god at the end"

"Well, okay" Zhao Deming, who was sitting on the stone bench, looked at the two people in front of him and started a prayer-like procedure, he didn't understand a word of the content, it should be their own language, only when the last sentence was spoken, he should finish it together.

"Praise the Sun God" As the prayer ended, the three of them also began today's topic.

"With all due respect, you are close to the Prophet and you helped her carry out her Ascension Project, so what do you think of our Atlantean enemy?" The Grand Commander, who had not spoken all this time, asked suddenly, and it was a very sensitive question.

Zhao Deming had to admit that this was a difficult question to answer, for the relationship between the prophet and their Atlanteans, if the prophet did not lie, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a blood feud, the prophet not only destroyed the home planet of their ancestors, but also chose to help humanity in the later war between humans and them, and the conclusion drawn from these is that they are irreconcilable, but it seems that these are not the answers that the great commander in front of him wants, he has to think about it carefully.

"Could it be ......" Zhao Deming suddenly thought of something, and Zhao Deming also glanced at the great commander, and it was a little difficult to make up his mind, "No matter, this is the answer I think is the most appropriate!" After a moment of hesitation, he decided to take a risk.

"First of all, I don't think that the prophet is our enemy, if you look at it from the perspective of our earth humans, she is still our friend, in that war in ancient times, without the help of the prophet, I think it would be difficult for us humans to win, although it was a tragic victory, but as their descendant, I am honored for them, as for now, I have to admit that I was a little scared and worried at the beginning, and there was a little bit of coercion, but then what I did was willing, Because I think that can bring more lasting peace to the human beings on the earth" Zhao Deming almost finished his thoughts in one breath, he knew very well the weight of these words, if he was unlucky, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the earth.

Zhao Deming, who was quietly waiting for the verdict, didn't pay much attention to the changes around him at first, but the louder and higher talking voice caught his attention, before he was too focused on himself and thought about a lot of messy things, and then the suddenly raised voice of conversation made him get out of his fantasy, I don't know when he had started talking to the high priest and the grand commander, and then the tone of his speech was raised a little, but they all seemed to have discovered Zhao Deming's reaction, and they began to communicate more peacefully.

I can't understand anything, on the importance of learning a foreign language, this is Zhao Deming's biggest feeling now, but he can guess that they must be discussing things related to him, which is really an ordeal, especially when the tone and intonation of their speech change, it is when he is most nervous, "Is this the end?" After some time, a voice suddenly sounded that he wanted to be familiar.

"Please forgive us for such rude behavior, some of which involve the secrets of our people, so we use our own language," the High Priest said politely, and also tactfully explained the previous behavior.

Zhao Deming couldn't see their expressions, or even if he saw it, he couldn't understand it, but since the other party spoke very politely, it proved that he shouldn't have any big problems and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "It's okay, it's okay."

"If it weren't for the high priest to protect you, I would have killed you a long time ago, you are very dangerous" The great commander who suddenly opened his mouth was a sentence that made Zhao Deming break out in a cold sweat.

"You, you can't pay attention to what you say, he is not one of your subordinates, but ......" The high priest suddenly stopped his words, in Zhao Deming's opinion, it seemed to be a sign of confusion, the high priest who did not have any words slowly stood up, stretched out his right hand, and a somewhat dazzling light shot out, and then he heard some noisy sounds from the next room.

Zhao Deming was stunned and looked at the light in front of him for a moment, and then there was a big hole in the opposite wall, "What is this?" What is this......" He kept asking the question in his heart, and after a moment the high priest answered the question in his heart.

"This is the power of the sun god, the basis for the survival of our race, I believe the prophet must have talked to you"

Zhao Deming, who reacted, glanced at the stone wall in the distance that was penetrated by the power of the sun god, and then looked at the high priest in disbelief and asked, "This is the power of the sun god?" It's too powerful, isn't it? ”

"Do you want to know why the Grand Commander says you're dangerous?" The high priest didn't seem to have any intention of explaining the power of the sun god to Zhao Deming, but he talked about what the Great Commander had mentioned before.

Zhao Deming, who heard the high priest's inquiry, shook his head incomprehensibly, he really didn't know what was going on, "Could it be related to the power of this sun god?" He guessed.

"Because we have all seen that you also have this power, and that you are very powerful, and that you have a slightly dangerous mind, so ......" the high priest did not continue, but the meaning was obvious.

After a short silence, Zhao Deming finally realized the cruelty of reality, all of this is actually due to strength, but since the high priest can convince the high priest, then he must have something to value the high priest here, this is the key point, so what is this?

"I wonder why?"

"The reason, in fact, is very simple, the rise of human beings on earth seems to be an irreversible thing, so it is useless to kill you, you will definitely have more after that, rather than this, it is better to cultivate a human on earth that we can at least trust"

"I think it's better to kill him, not only because of the power of the sun god, but also because his mind is also dangerous" The Great Commander suddenly interjected again, it was still the same old tune as before, but what made Zhao Deming strange was why he said that his mind was dangerous, and he didn't seem to say anything threatening.

"A dusty sword, on the day of its birth, will definitely cause a vision of heaven and earth, what we have to do is not to tremble in the corner, but to accept him calmly, to become his friend, partner, and even a faithful servant, in the face of the great tide, any obstacle is a mantis arm as a car" The high priest's speech was really exciting, and with that very agitating action, if the speech was made at this time, it would definitely get full applause.

"You're talking too high about them, aren't you? We're not that unbearable either! Although Zhao Deming didn't know what the expression of the great commander meant, he must have been a little dissatisfied with the tone and content of his words.

Started the Atlantean language that Zhao Deming didn't understand, but that's good, if he doesn't understand it, he doesn't have to guess, he can think about what the high priest said meant.

The sudden words of "Praise the Sun God" also startled Zhao Deming, and out of conditioned reflex, he also echoed and said it again.

"We have reached a consensus, the Great Commander will fully support you in the future, don't look at him as a fierce person, he is actually a very good Atlantean, don't have prejudices against him because of his previous words," the High Priest said this, and looked at Zhao Deming quietly, as if he was waiting for Zhao Deming's reaction, seeing this, Zhao Deming also glanced at the Great Commander not far away, shook his head and said, "The Great Commander is from the position of a superior person to consider this issue, and it is inevitable to make such a decision, But I think that force or war may be a very quick way, but it is definitely not the best option, so I can understand the Grand Commander's thoughts, but I don't agree with the Grand Commander's approach."

"Smack...... Syllable...... "The high priest and the grand commander applauded Zhao Deming at the same time.

"You ...... This is ......" Zhao Deming, who looked confused, looked at the two people who applauded him.

"Don't be surprised, this is the applause you deserve, remember the story of the sword I just said, the human beings on the earth are like the sword, the moment they are born, they will definitely cause the entire galaxy to shake, and you are the edge of the sword, the blade of the sword, invincible, the human race at that time must be the brightest star in the galaxy, I have never doubted this, so you have to take on this heavy responsibility, we have faith in you" The high priest used her very contagious words to tell the bright future of mankind, and expectations for Zhao Deming.

The words of the high priest were too contagious, and Zhao Deming almost stood up and cheered for it, but when he thought of it, he quickly calmed down, the human beings on the earth seemed to have nothing but the power of the sun god, this is really a bit of a fly in front of the glass, there is a future, and there is no way out, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems that our friend is worried about his own strength, you look at this" The high priest took out a piece of paper out of nowhere, it was really only a simple piece of paper, handed it to Zhao Deming, and then continued, "This is what we finally gave you, there are ships, materials, currency, and even personnel training We have considered, these things are not much, but they are definitely what you need the most at the moment, and we are all races with the power of the sun god, so those weapons are not comparable to the weapons of other races, We have only one request for this"

When Zhao Deming heard the words of the request, his eyes froze instantly, and he raised his head to look at the high priest.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I just don't want these weapons to come against us one day, you know our worries, we want to be your allies forever, friends and not rivals, enemies"

Zhao Deming, who heard this, was also relieved, he was most worried about what terrible additional conditions would appear, fortunately the high priest was not so stupid, but how to reply to the high priest was also a big problem, after careful consideration, "I think I really can't guarantee it, I can only do my best to complete this matter, and I think this kind of thing should be on both sides, and the efforts of only one party are far from enough"

"I also made a stupid request, then we want our friendship to start from now on" The high priest took the initiative to stretch out his hand, followed by the Grand Commander, and then a tightly clasped three hands, the human race on Earth got a firm ally, at least Zhao Deming thought so.

"That...... I have a little request, I don't know if you can say yes? "Zhao Deming's idea was already on Earth when he was on Earth, and now that the time is ripe, he just came up with it.

"You are really good at picking the time" The one who spoke was the commander, which slightly surprised Zhao Deming.

"Please say, we will try our best to help you" Or the high priest could speak, Zhao Deming's heart was slightly scarfed, "That...... That's right, I want Tom to come to me, I'm too short of manpower here, so ......"

"Well, you still ......" the high priest looked at the archon next to him, as if he was communicating something, "We can only help you convince, as for whether to go or not, it depends on him, we don't have the right to ask him, do you understand?" ”

It seems that it is difficult, Zhao Deming thought about Tom's character, and shook his head, "Then how about you please do me another favor, I want the prophet to return to our earth humans, I don't know if the high priest has any way?" ”

"It's easy, you don't need our help at all, you can do it yourself, and if we do it, it will cause some unnecessary trouble," the high priest said with a smile, if that was a smile.

"Can I do it myself? High Priest, you're not kidding, are you? Zhao Deming was a little incredulous, he still knew how many catties and taels he had.

"This is going to talk about the Star Covenant conference, of course you have to attend as the representative of the human race on Earth, so at any time, you can make this request with the Arqia people, I believe they will agree to you, and they will also give you a lot of benefits,"

"Why?" Zhao Deming really couldn't figure out how so many good things had to be caught up by the human beings on earth.

"Don't worry, they give you benefits, first, the potential of the earth's human beings is worth this, and second, it has something to do with us, they don't expect the earth's humans to get too close to us, at least they can't take refuge, so they will also give you benefits to show their wooing, which is why we can't help you talk about the prophet's affairs, we say that they may be suspicious, and things will be more complicated" The high priest's explanation is very good and clear.

It seems that this Star Alliance is also a place where intertwined interests are intertwined, and we will wait and see how Zhao Deming will face all this.
