Chapter 187: Pandora's Love
In an unknown space somewhere. A huge pyramid-shaped building stands here. The pyramid, which is hundreds of meters high, has gone through many years, and its appearance has been somewhat dilapidated. But the height of hundreds of meters is still daunting.
In fact, if you look closely, the space is extremely small. The extent of the pyramid is the whole world. The inside of the pyramid is covered with dense carvings of unknown characters. This is what is known as a burial tomb. It is the resting place of the hidden man.
It is said to be a tomb, but in fact, the hidden man has long since awakened from his slumber and regained his senses. But he couldn't leave the space. This is a mausoleum and a prison.
At this time, Pandora was standing next to a tall black man. Pandora, who was not weaker than God, looked a little humble in front of this man. And there was clearly some kind of admiration in his eyes.
She held the all-seeing eye in both hands and offered it to the black man, the secret man.
Even as a secret person, he couldn't help but be a little excited at this moment. He took the All-Seeing Eye and held it in his hand. The gem melted into his body. An aura of terror appeared in the tomb. Even Pandora frowned at the oppression of this force. Countless runes lit up on the body of the Hidden Man, and then quickly extinguished. The speed was so fast that it was all over his body in a matter of seconds.
"The power of the all-seeing eye has rekindled my divine fire. But it wasn't enough, my body had been dormant for too long and had already begun to weaken. For a complete reply, I need one more thing, the 'Sands of Life'. ”
"I already have the exact information about the golden hourglass and will be able to get my hands on it soon. When the time comes, with the help of the fire of the gods, enough sands of life will be able to be refined. ”
"Very well, now, let's take a look at the world that has been lost for a long time."
The moment the Hidden Man entered this world, Lin Xuan's early warning magic gave him a warning. Although it was a little vague, Lin Xuan understood what was going on after a little thought. Now that Pandora has obtained the All-Seeing Eye, it is only natural that the Hidden Man will come out of the mountain. It's just that the current Hidden Man has not fully recovered. So for a while, the war could not be fought.
At this time, Lin Xuan was reading some information about Pandora. Pandora's life story in this world is more complicated. In Lin Xu's memory, she was originally a maid of the Hidden People. Because of the contact with the secret man day and night, the affection for him. A maid who falls in love with a deity.
The hermit guards the dark secrets of the gods, but is rejected by the gods because of this, so he is very lonely. Pandora tries to help her lover break free from this bondage. They tried to rebel against the gods. But failed, and Pandora fled. But the Hidden Man was imprisoned in the tomb forever.
Over the next millennia, Pandora incarnated and traveled the world in search of a way to free the Hidden Man, leaving behind various legends. During these long years, certain unknowable changes have taken place in the gods. A sudden 'Ragnarok' left most of the gods dead or put into a deep sleep.
Pandora realizes that the opportunity has come. So she began to show up to collect the remnants of the Age of the Gods in preparation for the liberation of the Hidden People. and finally seized the All-Seeing Eye from Lin Xuan's hands, completing the first step to rescue the Hidden Man.
Most of the information is just a few accounts of Pandora's walk through the world. But one of the wild histories caught Lin Xuan's attention.
The Hidden Men are gods, and they are the only original gods in existence. Arrogant by nature, he naturally would not personally go out to find the golden hourglass. So the mission is naturally carried out by Pandora. And Nevins, who originally worked for Pandora, is now under Lin Xuan. So Pandora formed another mercenary to handle the work of the human world for her.
This squad of top treasure hunters and mercenaries managed to find clues about the golden hourglass for Pandora. At the same time, even another icing on the cake was found. Zeus's spear of thunder and lightning. This is an artifact-level ancient treasure. And it's also extremely important for Pandora.
The fire of the gods, which is needed to activate the golden hourglass, exists in the form of thunder and lightning in the human world. Not ordinary thunderbolts, of course, but thunderbolts with divinity. The Hidden Man can of course induce the fire of the gods, but it requires a lot of divine power. And with Zeus's spear of thunder and lightning, this can be done with very little divine power.
John is the best treasure hunter in the circle. He has come into contact with a variety of top-notch supernatural objects. But he has a very special credo, which is that he himself will never possess a single supernatural object. This is an extremely self-disciplined person, and he can perfectly restrain the ** in his heart. He knew that those supernatural items did not belong to them as mortals. The more advanced the better. Because after the mortal world, there is an even more unfathomable inner world. John only briefly came into contact with the inner world a few times, and then decisively stopped. He knew that if he went deeper, he might never be able to retire.
All of the above has made John enjoy a very high reputation in the circle. Many of the patrons of the big operation will specifically ask him to lead the team. This allowed John to earn enough for his pension, but he didn't get a chance to spend it. An unprecedented employer has his eye on him, Pandora.
Mysterious witches, terrifying magic boxes. When John first came into contact with Pandora, he guessed who she was. So he knew he didn't have the slightest room to resist. He worked desperately for Pandora in exchange for a little hope of survival. Although he knew that there was little hope. He has even begun to secretly transfer his property, at least so that his wife and daughter can live a prosperous life.
After finding Zeus's Spear of Lightning, he was only briefly repaired before being forced to move on to his next mission. A mysterious item known as the Golden Hourglass. John swore to heaven that even in his experience, he had never heard of the so-called golden hourglass. But fortunately, there are already some clues, but it is not completely clueless.
He quietly went home once, stood outside the window and looked at his wife and daughter, but did not go in to say goodbye. He already had a hunch that this might be his last mission. Maybe he'll never come back. He wanted to leave his wife and daughter with the impression of being missing rather than dead.
After a long time, he finally came to his senses and turned to leave. But suddenly, I found that there was a young Asian standing behind me. After being in the underground world for a long time, John's skills are naturally extraordinary. At least among the top of the human race. But he didn't notice the man's movements.
John cautiously stepped back and didn't make a rash move. The other party seems to have no malicious intent, but if you take the initiative, it may not be.
"Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, John. I don't mean anything, I just want you to help me deliver a message. To Pandora. ”
"What's the news?" John already regarded Lin Xuan as a wizard or something like that in his heart. Of course, this is not wrong.
"I'm hoping to meet her tomorrow at noon at the Starbucks Cafe in Sleepy Hollow."
"Do you think it's possible?"
"It's unlikely, so I brought my sincerity." Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and handed John something, a white 'begonia'.
