Although there were no spotlights, the palatial hall was brightly lit, and the servants who came and went, the well-dressed gentlemen, and the ladies and ladies in costumes all focused on Carl.

Standing in the middle of the dance floor, Carl saw a glitz of life. Mrs. Loris's eyes were full of anticipation and support.

Miss Melissa gently shook the folding fan woven of peacock feathers, and her eyes showed an expectant and playful smile, and after seeing Karl's gaze, she blinked softly, and chuckled as if she had succeeded in a prank.

The guests who had just walked upstairs were also alarmed and quietly walked out of the lounge to observe. Mr. Grant leaned against the railing with a surprised expression, and her lady staggered half a position behind him, looking curiously at Carl in the center of the ball, while little Sophie was more focused on the tales of the gods of Gulosta inscribed on the reliefs in the corridor, and had no interest in the excitement below.

All kinds of people, all kinds of eyes, there are exploration, there are scrutiny, there are envy, there are jealousy, there are curiosity, there are also contempt, all kinds of expressions, all kinds of characters, all kinds of eyes, suddenly made Carl feel the pressure under the attention of all people.

"This is a story of gods and heroes, war and love!"

Thanks to his recent practice of knightly breathing and mage's meditation, Karl has been able to do it most of the time, so there is no stage fright in front of everyone, and after politely greeting and addressing the guests, he introduces the background of the Iliad in a slightly deep voice.

Of course, there are no Greek myths in this world, but there are similar ancient myths and legends such as the ancient Losta myth, the Northland myth, and the Ash.

But what is more interesting is that the mythology and religion of this world are not closely related, and it can even be said that the gods in mythology and the gods in religion are completely two images and two models.

The gods of religious belief are the Lord of Light, the only true god of the world preached by the Radiant Church, or the ancient gods of Mother Earth, the goddess of ice and snow, the god of storms and thunder, the god of the sea, the king of Hades, and other ancient gods.

In the description of the church, all the deities of religious belief do not have a specific origin experience, but are more of a religious philosophical expression, and the priesthood and concepts represented by the deities have long been raised to the height of philosophy by countless theologians.

For example, in the teachings of the Church of Radiance, the world was born after the primordial light pierced the darkness, and it was the spiritual brilliance of the Lord of Radiance that enlightened all beings. In the church of Mother Earth God, it is said that Mother Earth created the world, and the earth grew a hero of steel and a tree of the world. In the teachings of the goddess of ice and snow, the world is created by ice and snow, and the essence of all things is actually countless frozen illusory spirits, because of the frozen power of the goddess of ice and snow, all kinds of metaphysical concepts, spirits, and ideas are transformed into colorful and colorful worlds.

However, among the myths and legends that circulate among the people, there are many stories of gods who grew up, practiced, fought, and fell in love like mortals.

For example, the mother of all things, the goddess of the earth, Medis, in the legend, was born with the ability to subvert the boundary between life and death, turning everything into a silent rock statue, for this reason, she was sealed by the gods as soon as she was born, and only when her sister the sun goddess Holus ignited the closed rock heart of the goddess of the earth with the eternal fire full of love, the earth had a fiery heart core and hot magma.

Another example is the goddess of ice and snow, legend has it that she is the youngest daughter of the lord of celestial phenomena and time, originally a cold winter girl among the goddesses of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the god of wine and the lord of the dead country have pursued her, in order to melt her heart that can be as cold as the glacier of the Northland, the god of wine once brewed a wine that can awaken the fiery love of any goddess, but this wine was accidentally drunk by the goddess of spring, and fell in love with the lord of the dead country in the depths of Hades.

The gods in folk tales, on the other hand, are more flesh and blood, emotionally rich, and look like the gods of Greek mythology, more like powerful people than as conceptual gods in the philosophical sense.

Karl reinvented Greek mythology a little bit to make it look more local, and only then wrote the story of Homer's epic poem.

Karl first briefly explained the background of the gods and the causes of the Trojan War, and when he said that the three goddesses were arguing over the golden apple, it obviously attracted the attention of the ladies, after all, this kind of object that purports to make people immortal and represents the most beautiful people attracts the attention of ladies the most.

"Sing, goddess, sing of the wrath of Achilles, son of Phileus—"

"His fury brought upon this terrible calamity, bringing untold suffering to the Achaeans, and smashing the strong souls of many heroes into the land of wailing, and throwing their bodies as food to wild dogs and vultures......"

Although he had never spoken and recited in public before, the knight's amazing lung capacity and the rhythm of the knight's breathing method made Carl full of emotion as soon as he came up, and he recited loudly.

Homer's epic poems are heroic epics sung orally, and are very close to the narrative long poems sung by the bards of this world, although the whole poem does not rhyme, but the sense of rhythm is particularly strong, especially when recited aloud, there is a sonorous and powerful rhythmic beauty.

“...... He rushed straight down from the top of Mount Olympus, his chest full of rage, and he galloped all the way in a rage, and the arrows thundered on his back—"

"When he came, he crouched down on the battleship like night, and unleashed a flying arrow, the sound of which made the silver bow tremble. He shot the mule and the running dog first, and then, with a heart-rending arrow, pointed it at the crowd and knocked them down. The fire of the crematories burns and endures—"

Unconsciously, Carl began to use the rhythm of the dragon's breathing method, and his heart began to breathe long, imitating the breathing and vocalization skills of the dragon, with a stirring explosive power and high-pitched trills, like rolling thunder, penetrating everyone's eardrums.

Homer's epic is an exemplary heroic narrative epic, with a magnificent structure, beautiful rhythms, and sonorous pulsations that jump from one syllable to another, from one beat to another, giving people a powerful sense of blow and power.

Homer's epic is a magnificent heroic war song, interpreting the love and passion of the ancient heroes for life, the struggle and obedience to fate, under the arrangement of God, the heroes fight, adventure, plunder, fight, eat and drink, happy songs, wanton burning, release in a limited life, live incomparably real, incomparably upward, incomparably healthy!

Carl's recitation at the beginning was only a technical force, but gradually, he was infected by the impassioned and magnificent, generous and heroic momentum contained in this epic, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
