Chapter 14: Bastard! Pervert! Beast! Rogue!
"Oh yes! You know where that Temple of War is, right? While biting off the last hawthorn ball on the sugar gourd, Lu Fan asked Athena's little Lori floating beside him.
The two of them were standing in mid-air outside the library in the center of Milan, watching the crowd of construction workers and machines below busy repairing the library's façade, which was almost collapsing.
"You're going to the Temple of War?" Athena's little Lori, who was eating a hawthorn ball, frowned and asked after listening to Lu Fan's question.
"Hmm." Lu Fan chewed the hawthorn ball and nodded.
Not long after leaving the demolition site and flying out of the city, Lu Fan suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know where the Temple of the God of War was.
There is no map of Du Niang in this place...... Well, maybe there is, but Lu Fan doesn't have a mobile phone in this world.
So after thinking about it, Lu Fan could only run back in a gray way, planning to let Athena little Lori be a leading party.
After all, Little Lori is a self-proclaimed goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology, Athena, who should know very well about Ares, the god of war who also belongs to the same god system, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find a nest or something.
As the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, in order to make Athena Lori willingly lead the way, Lu Fan also stole it on the way back...... Ahem, I took two strings of sugar gourds in an attempt to buy Athena's little Lori.
Now that the sugar gourd has been eaten by Athena's little Lori, Lu Fan feels that it is time for Little Lori to play her role in leading the way.
"What are you doing in the Temple of War?" As if sensing Lu Fan's sinister intentions, Athena Little Lori stopped eating the sugar gourd, and continued to ask with a slight frown.
Faced with Athena's little Lori's posture of breaking the sand pot and asking the end, Lu Fan felt that with his own wisdom, he should not be able to deceive this goddess of wisdom who seemed to be the same as a bear child, so after chewing the hawthorn ball in his mouth and thinking about it, he could only answer truthfully:
"I just thought about seeing if I could beat up that bullshit god of war, let him be honest, don't be idle all day long, send some cats and dogs to annoy people!"
"Oh, really?" Athena nodded noncommittally, and then continued to deal with the hawthorn ball in her hand, without any intention of answering Lu Fan's question.
Lu Fan didn't ask, after all, don't look at this little Lori who looks like a teenage bear child, but she is indeed a goddess, and she still seems to be known for her wisdom.
So if Athena Lori wants to answer, she will naturally answer, and if she doesn't want to answer, she can't get a real answer.
Seeing that Xiao Lori looked like a foodie concentrating on the food in his hand, Lu Fan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then took out a book called 'Selected Celtic Mythological Stories' that he held under his armpit and read.
The reason why Lu Fan has been watching these myths and stories is because this world is a world where gods are in charge after all, and it is not a bad thing to deepen some understanding of these mythical gods, and Lu Fan's mission is likely to be related to these gods.
Well, in fact, Lu Fan really didn't have a clue about the tasks that the space had issued to him, after all, he didn't even know what the 'plane deviation value' was, let alone any corrections and additions.
But he has three years to do the task, and he is not in a hurry, but reads......
To be honest, Lu Fan actually likes to read, maybe he is used to being lonely, and he quite enjoys the feeling of being alone quietly.
In the past, he had no conditions to run around for life every day, but now he finally doesn't have to worry about the so-called livelihood anymore, and with such free time, he also wants to do something he likes.
If possible, after Lu Fan is ready to deal with this matter of the God of War Temple, he will go to the Huaxia of this world to have a look, see how the Chinese people of this world are doing, and if necessary, he will also do what he can.
Then while pondering the ghost task released by the space, I found a house in spring and facing the sea, and lived the life of a rice worm.
Well! That's it!
"Then get a dog or a cat or something...... It seems that huskies and orange cats are popular now, and I don't know if there is a ...... in this world."
Thinking of the beautiful life of rice worms in the future, Lu Fan couldn't wait to hurry up and get rid of that bullshit War God Temple, and then go to Huaxia in this world.
However, the cruelty of reality is that it often does not go the way people want it......
……
After finally eating the whole hawthorn ball, and even stretching out her pink little tongue to lick all the remaining sugar residue on her fingers, Athena Little Lori clapped her little hand and said, "I can take you to the Temple of the God of War, and even be your helper, but before that, you have to help me get something back." ”
"What's that?" Lu Fan, who had already closed the book in his hand, couldn't help asking.
“…… Pandora's Box" After a brief silence, Athena Lori said in a slightly deep voice, as if the name contained something she didn't want to mention.
The inhuman ear power allowed Lu Fan to clearly capture these five words, but after all, he didn't know much about foreign myths and legends, so naturally he didn't know what these five words represented, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help blinking his eyes and asked again: "What, what is it?" ”
"Pandora's Box." Glancing at Lu Fan, who was like a curious baby, Athena Little Lori raised her voice slightly and repeated the previous five words again.
"Uh...... Well, where? Lu Fan, who understood that little Lori didn't want to say anything, could only ask with a little helplessness.
Knowing that Lu Fan had agreed, Athena Lori silently looked into the distance, and after being silent for a while, she said slowly:
"Rome, Vatican"
……
Speaking of the Vatican, probably most people in the world know it.
It is a city-state located northwest of Rome, the capital of Italy, and is the smallest and least populous country in the world.
However, as the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population - the seat of the Catholic Holy See, the Vatican's influence in the political and cultural fields is no less than that of major countries such as Midi, Huaxia, and Polar Bear.
Of course, this was the case before the Coming of God.
And after the Advent of God, the Vatican was already a place of mythology.
……
"How? Straight in? Standing at the top of the northwest corner of the city wall of the Roman fortress, looking at a glorious building in the distance that looked like an island in the sea but full of light, Lu Fan couldn't help but ask Athena Lori beside him.
The reason why it is described as an isolated island in the sea is because between the majestic steel under Lu Fan's feet and the dazzling and brilliant buildings in the distance is a death zone like a sea of blood purgatory.
Red, gold, green, purple...... Blood of all colors mingled together, churning and churning out mutilated corpses from time to time.
Most of the corpses could not even be seen in their original form, and could only be vaguely judged by the size, structure, and color of flesh and bones, including humans, gods, giants, dwarves, elves, gods and magic beasts, goblins and ghosts, mechanical creatures、......、 demons, and angels.
Regardless of what these corpses were and where they came from, it is certain that there must have been an earth-shattering battle here.
Lu Fan didn't know who had fought with whom here, and why he was fighting.
But what he can be sure of is that the glorious building in the distance can still stand after such an earth-shattering battle, it will certainly not be a simple place, and it can even be called a terrible place.
And this terrible place was the goal of his trip.
"Do you have a better way?"
Facing Athena's little Lori's rhetorical question, Lu Fan touched his chin and thought about it, then shook his head seriously: "No!" ”
According to Athena's little Lori, the Pandora's box she wants to retrieve is guarded by a high-ranking angel in that glorious inner building, and it is protected by many seals.
For Lu Fan, it is impossible to steal, and it is impossible to steal in this life.
So I can only grab it!
"By the way, isn't Pandora's box Pandora's? How did it become yours? ”
I felt that this trip might be a life of death, and before leaving, Lu Fan felt that it was better to ask about some things.
Well, the main thing is that this forced is a little curious.
Faced with such a question, Athena Little Lori just glanced at the questioner's curious baby Lu Fan lightly, and didn't say anything.
"Uh...... Well, Pandora's box is not necessarily Pandora's, just like the Indian Ocean is not Indian, I know I understand......" Lu Fan, who was destined by Athena's little Lori's 'contempt of God', could only comfort himself silently in his heart.
However, just when Lu Fan thought that Athena's little Lori would not explain, Athena's little Lori's soft voice came unexpectedly.
"Legend has it that Zeus, the king of the gods, in order to counteract the great benefits brought to mankind by Prometheus's act of stealing fire, ordered Hephaestus, the god of fire, to make a woman out of clay in the image of a goddess, which was also the first woman."
"Huh? The first woman? Where did all the humans come from before that? "Lu Fan feels that this is a great philosophical question comparable to 'chicken or egg'.
Athena's little Lori suddenly glanced at Lu Fan indifferently.
"Do you want to hear it anymore?"
"Uh...... Listen, listen, you speak, you speak. Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly smiled and nodded.
It's important to listen to stories, so let's go to philosophy or something first.
Seeing that someone admits her mistake and has a good attitude, Athena Lori decided not to care anymore and continued to speak: "Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, gave her the power to charm and seduce men; Athena, the goddess of wisdom, dressed her up and made her more beautiful; Hermes, the messenger of God, imparted her gift for language; And Zeus, the god-king, injected vicious evil water into her beautiful appearance. ”
"Wait a minute, inject ...... Forehead...... Okay, it's me who wants to ...... crookedly" I wanted to learn more about the process of 'injection', but in the face of the disdainful little eyes cast by Athena's little Lori, Lu Fan suddenly lowered his head in shame.
And after dispelling someone's dirty thoughts, Athena Lori continued: "The wind god Hamis named her Pandora, and the gods agreed. Finally, the god-king Zeus gave Pandora a sealed box full of scourges, calamities, and pestilences. ”
"I see! This must be Pandora's box! Lu Fan suddenly shouted loudly, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.
Athena's little Lori glanced at Lu Fan indifferently again, and then continued: "Then send it to the world." One day, Pandora, like some fool, opened the box out of curiosity, and all the disasters, pestilences, and scourges in the box flew out, and mankind was tormented by disasters, pestilences, and scourges. ”
"That's right...... Well?! Wait a minute! How do I feel as if I'm being scolded?! Lu Fan, who originally thought the story was not bad, suddenly noticed some unnecessary modifiers in the words of a certain unscrupulous little Lori.
"It's not there, that's all your delusion." Athena's little Lori said lightly without blushing and without a heartbeat
Lu Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed, staring at a certain unscrupulous little Lori.
"Don't lie to me! I'm smart! ”
"Heh~! Aren't you curious why I say Pandora's Box is mine? After a meaningless (contemptuous) chuckle, Athena Lori wittily changed the subject.
"Oh yes! Why? "Someone whose IQ is obviously crushed by the goddess of wisdom has been directly distorted.
"Which goddess do you think that cripple is the prototype of the person?" As she spoke, Athena's little Lori raised her smooth and white chin with some pride, and straightened her small chest.
And after Lu Fan listened to Athena's little Lori's rhetorical question, he touched his chin and fell into thought.
After a long time, it wasn't until Athena's little Lori was faintly impatient that Lu Fan suddenly clapped his hands and said with a serious face: "It must be that love and beauty goddess Aphrodite!" Let me tell you, the book I read before said that Aphrodite was the most beautiful of the Greek goddesses, with a ......"
However, as he spoke, Lu Fan suddenly felt a chill in his back, and before he could react to what was going on, a certain blackened little Lori had already pounced on a hungry tiger, and bit his ear with a small mouth full of cold and shining small silver teeth, and scolded vaguely while biting:
"Bastard! Pervert! Beast! Rogue! What's so good about that Bichi?! Isn't it just that the face is better-looking, the breasts are bigger, the waist is thinner, and the legs are longer?! What's the big deal?! ”
