When the scepter was removed, she and the priest were amazed. The scepter is golden in color, and the body of the scepter is composed of two intertwined snakes, the heads of which are held upward, and together they hold the huge sapphire.

"King Snake ......"

The priest gently stroked the two snakes on the staff, muttering to himself, as if he did not dare to disturb them, and his tone was filled with intoxication and confusion.

It seems that the identity of this scepter is very unusual.

The scepter is nearly a man's height, relatively heavy, and does not appear to be entirely made of gold. She felt that if it was made of pure gold, it would be more than that.

But, it's enough for them to be tired and choked.

There is a weight of bottled water, but there is no shape of bottled water, and the two can only carry it to the main hall together. Fortunately, the way back to the main hall was half the way shorter than when I came.

When they arrived at the main hall, the people of the royal court were already waiting there, led by Dioculion, and they all looked at the entrance of the main hall.

As soon as they appeared, Deucarion asked the guards to take the scepter from their hands, and he himself walked over and hugged her.

"I heard you unlocked the door to the inner room. That's great! He hugged her tightly.

"This is ......," an old voice suddenly exclaimed, "Zeus' Scepter!" ”

She looked up and saw an old man with gray hair on a staff and dressed in fine clothes, who was supposed to be a minister of the royal court, and his eyes were fixed on the scepter in the hand of the guard. The guards were stiff and did not dare to move.

For a while, the audience was in an uproar.

Diocalion let go of his embrace and turned to look.

"Are you sure you're right?" A middle-aged man raised his voice and asked.

"You can't go wrong." Another old man, who also had gray sideburns, replied tremblingly, "I heard my grandfather say that his grandfather had seen the Scepter. ”

"I have lived for so long, and I finally saw the legendary Scepter of Zeus, and I have no regrets even if I die." The old man muttered.

The entire main hall fell silent.

As if he had finally made a decision, he pulled her over to the guard with the scepter, took the scepter from the guard's hand, and looked back at her.

"You're a messenger of Zeus, aren't you?" Deutcarion asked quietly.

He said he was asking her, but he didn't really need her answer. He was sure in his heart.

"Can you tell me how to use Zeus' scepter?"

He looked at her, and there seemed to be a fire in his eyes that was trying to suppress it. It was as firm as his belief that she was God's messenger, and it seemed like more than that.

She nodded, led him to the door of the inner chamber, raised the scepter in his hand, and aimed it into the groove. The scepter in his hand fit the groove perfectly.

The door creaked like a rusty machine, and it was running again.

In the entire main hall, there seemed to be no other sound except for them. Everyone watched with bated breath and anticipation.

She tried to push the door.

The door opened.

There was an uproar in the audience. Emotions swelled like a tide.

She pushed the door open completely, expecting it inwardly.

Nothing.

An empty room.

Except for the place directly opposite the wall, where there is a desk that is the same as in the courtyard.

"Don't you go in?"

Seeing that she didn't mean to go in, Diocalion asked casually. At the same time, he leaned over to her, and looked inside.

Nothing.

It's completely different from what I expected.

"Where's the idol?" Diocalion frowned.

She turned her head to look at him, equally dazed. She had thought there should be something else here, but there was nothing.

The people behind him seemed to hear his words, and they all rushed over and looked inside.

"Empty ......"

"Where's the idol?"

"How so?"

"Zeus has really abandoned humanity......"

The main hall was in a panic for a while, and the ministers of the royal court began to panic, and they were about to lose control of the situation.

In the midst of the panic, the priest spoke calmly and indifferently, "God has not abandoned us. ”

"You say no, no, no? Where did the idol go? ”

"That's right! The drought in Greater Greece is getting worse and worse, and our people are dying! ”

"The hidden hall has no grass, not even sunlight, who else do you want to deceive?"

"You liar!"

"Liar!"

The ministers of the royal court went from questioning to denunciation, and the main hall began to fall into a noise again.

The priest looked very indifferent: "God has left a will, and when God leaves, it will be the time when the hidden temple is destroyed, and there will be no more my temple in the world, and I will be turned into dust." ”

The room was silent. The ministers of the royal court began to look at me, and I looked at you. Then the discussion began quietly, and the voice became louder and louder.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Is what the Divine Servant said true?"

The priest looked at the man and said slowly, "I swear to the god Zeus. ”

She couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the golden light on the necklace on the priest's chest flash away. Is there really a God?

She turned her head to look at Dioculion, and didn't come back to her senses for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Deutcalion saw that something was wrong with her, "What did you find?" ”

She shook her head, and turned to walk into the inner room. Deutcalion told the ministers to leave first, and then followed. The priestly attendants and attendants also entered.

She felt a feeling of the mountain breeze blowing in her face, clear, empty and far away, and for a while she felt as if she was in the middle of the mountains, and it was like standing on the top of the mountain and listening to the wind howling.

She looked up and down, but she didn't know where the wind was coming from.

"This wind is strange...... "The priest also felt the difference in this wind, "I have never seen such a wind. ”

"It's as free as the wind in the mountains." Dioculion continued.

The inner room is not small at all, except for the cold wind, there seems to be no other difference. She tossed for so long, physically and mentally exhausted, but only saw such a result, and she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

After a cursory look to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, she walked out of the inner room. The group also came out one after another.

With great difficulty, she removed the scepter and gave it back to the attendant for safekeeping, and tried the door, only to find that it could not be locked. It's really ......

But yes, now that the secret has been discovered, it is no longer a secret, not to mention that there is no secret here at all. There is no need to lock it anymore.

***

Night always falls. With so much hard work for so long, she quickly fell asleep before she could figure things out.

Maybe dreams always reflect reality, she stood on the top of the mountains with the wind howling, and only heard the sound of the wind.

The next morning, there was still no sunshine, no birds singing and flowers.

She went out into the courtyard to relax. Since there is nothing she can do, she can only be a monk for a day and hit the bell for a day.

Looking at the green branches above the desk, although there was only a small green leaf the size of a fingernail, it was the only green under the gray and lifeless sky.

Could it be ...... Is the green color on the desk contagious?

Looking at the tender green, it seems to be different from the dark green of the desk.

She carefully stroked the marks on the surface of the desk, slightly warm. The dark green filled gully seemed to be a little flatter, and the green on the table was a little more green than what I had seen before, and the color was thicker.

She couldn't help but sigh, it didn't feel good to sit still, and if she could, of course she would be willing to clear the customs and leave.

Where are new clues likely to emerge?

The darkness of the tenth gate, she felt that she didn't have enough courage to test it again, one heartbeat was enough for her, and if she did it again, she probably needed a heart booster.

She suddenly remembered the room from yesterday, the unfamiliar layout, which did not seem to belong to the gods or attendants.

Maybe you can check it out there, maybe there's something new.

I sat on the chair of my desk for a while, and was about to get up, when I heard the voice of someone talking behind me.

"Can I talk to you?"

It's Pila's mother.

She turned around and saw Pila's mother standing there in the distance, smiling and nodding her head when she looked back. There is a sense of elegance and nobility in his demeanor.

She sensed the mother's kindness and nodded. This woman is really heartfelt and her every move is so pleasing to the eye.

"May I ask, did Decalion mention me to you again?" Pila's mother asked politely.

She shook her head, not knowing what she was trying to say.

"In that case, I should introduce myself." Pila's mother said, without any unpleasantness or a hint of undulation in her tone, "I'm Pila's mother,"

She already knew this from their conversations.

"Pila's father and Dicalion's father are brothers, and Pila has been spoiled by everyone's temper since she was a child, I hope you don't mind." She continued, "The last time she came, she somehow angered the priest-sama, and she can't come here anymore. ”

She listened quietly, and the prestige of the divine servant seemed to make the royal court jealous.

"I am a faithful believer in the god Zeus, and the gods have made me call me Pandora if you wish."

Oracle? Is this what they call themselves? If they knew they weren't some kind of oracle, they would be disappointed, right?

She said her name was Pandora, a familiar name that she seemed to have heard somewhere...... Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind - Pandora!

Pandora's Box!

It's the Pandora in the story who opened the magic box and released disaster and disease!

She couldn't help but look at Pandora with wide eyes, was it a coincidence? How could such a noble and elegant person be the Pandora who opened the magic box?

"Your Excellency?" Pandora watched the expression change on her face, a little confused, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, she shook her head, she must have thought too much.

"I'm here today to tell you something, and she can't come, so I'm here. It may upset you, but I still have to make it clear. ”

After saying that, as if he was worried that she would stop herself, she began to talk to herself.
