From the mouth of the mosquito road, he learned that the jade was the reincarnation of the god of Mount Olympus - in fact, Lin Meng had some doubts in his heart, and now he is completely sure, but even now, he does not know which god the jade is the reincarnation of, or the incarnation.

With his current strength and realm, it is not difficult to find Mount Olympus, the entrance to this divine realm.

Inside, it resembles a vast space like the Heavenly Court, with a golden disk of the sun hanging in the sky, and a field of lush green grass below, occasionally dotted with a few fresh flowers.

And in the distance of the sky, a huge mountain range actually left the ground and was suspended in the sky, Lin Meng looked at it and saw that on the extremely high sky, several huge chains fell down, these chains connected to the sky at one end, hung from the Olympus Mountains at the other, and stretched out along the void, extending into a black light and shadow.

Lin Meng knew that that light and shadow might lead to the hell of the Olympus god system, that is, the underworld of the abyss of Tartarus!

Mount Olympus, which was hung in the sky by chains, was majestic and magnificent, and Lin Meng could see the temple of a famous god, just above the peak, and some priests and goddesses wearing white robes and garlands on their heads were playing outside the temple.

Mount Olympus advocates pleasure, Zeus manages it very idlely, and there is no god who guards the gate like the South Gate of Heaven, and the gods who specialize in guarding the gate will stay outside.

Lin Meng came here and no one stopped him, and no one asked, similar to Wanshou Mountain.

He flew towards Mount Olympus, and after landing on the peak, he was troubled, Olympus is so big, there are hundreds of gods living on the mountain, and those divine envoys and servants are probably as many as millions, where can they find jade?

While thinking about it, Lin Meng found that the void in front of him spread out like water waves, and a piece of silver moonlight appeared from it, and the moonlight turned into a woman.

The woman wore a white robe, with curly brown hair that hung down to her waist, and the robe revealed a white and tender little arm, with a pair of silver gleaming bracers on the arms, and the center of her eyebrows, there was a curved mark of the last quarter moon.

The woman's smart and deep gaze was fixed on Lin Meng: "You are really here." ”

"Emerald?"

Lin Meng rushed forward in surprise and hugged the girl, who was in his arms, but turned into a silver moonlight, escaped from the crook of his arm, and regathered his body on the other side.

"Emerald is me, but I am not Emerald."

In the girl's delicate red lips like rose petals, she said something that was a little incomprehensible, but the accompanying spiritual sense had already explained why. Lin Meng suddenly understood, it turned out that Jade was not the complete reincarnation of this girl's spiritual consciousness, but the incarnation formed by a part of her soul.

The name of the goddess is Artemis.

Artemis is the moon god of the Olympian god system, the god system of the chaotic relationship between men and women, one of the three virgin goddesses, known as the purest god, but in addition to the moon god who is also the goddess of hunting, she also advocates combat and challenge, and has many wild surnames that male gods do not have!

The disk of reincarnation, the disk of fate, two pieces of chaos spirit treasure will be born in the earth universe, the Olympus god system, from the mouth of the goddess of fate Laxis, learned the supreme oracle, Artemis took the initiative to ask a part of the soul to the lower realm, seize the chaos spirit treasure.

The jade in the world is part of Artemis's soul, but not a complete soul, so the girl said that the jade is her, but she is not the jade.

"Unthinkable ......"

In Lin Meng's heart, there is both joy and loss to see her, Jade is different from herself, she is the reincarnation of the original Satan Red Dragon body, and the past got rid of it cleanly, Jade is in Mount Olympus, and also left the deity and the divine body.

Now, the soul of the jadeite, the insight of the jadeite, has been attributed to Artemis, and it can be said that the jadeite in the pure sense of the word, has disappeared......

"Don't be sad, all this is fate."

Artemis's beautiful brown eyes faintly flashed with a hint of tears, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Where is your leaf cherry?" I didn't know at first, but now that I think back to Ye Ying, she should also be the reincarnation of a god, otherwise it wouldn't be so powerful, and even I can't catch up...... Did you find her? ”

"I know who she is, but at least for now, I can't find her."

Lin Meng shook his head and said, "She is different from you, and her location is also different from Mount Olympus. ”

"If you need help, you can come to me."

Artemis was silent for a moment, then said, "What about Xiaoxue? I miss her these days......"

"Xiaoxue is in Wanshou Mountain, she was accepted as an apprentice by Zhenyuan Daxian and cultivated there. Still, if you want to see her, I can take you there. Lin Meng smiled, "Bai Ling, Nina, Paxia, Andariel, and Xiaobai are all in Heavenly Court...... Zhao Xin and them were originally in Heavenly Court, but now Huaxia is in trouble and has been sent down by me. ”

"Well, I also heard the news, you were named the Emperor of Yuming by Heavenly Court, and the country that came out of this period of time seems to be united with the country of freedom, and there are some actions."

Speaking of this, Artemis paused for a few seconds, and then suddenly said, "Gabriel Archangel of Heaven came to Mount Olympus a few days ago, met with Zeus, and discussed some matters concerning various gods...... Heaven invites Olympus to form an alliance against Hell and other forces. ”

"Alliance? Isn't Heaven strong enough to deal with Hell? But...... If the three saints don't make a move, and put aside those chaos spirit treasures, the forces of heaven and hell can't say who is stronger, as a saint, they won't make a move casually......"

Lin Meng's heart flashed through this, and he asked, "Zeus God King agreed?" ”

"Of course not."

Artemis shook his head: "Catholicism, Christianity, the spread of God, and Jesus have long since turned the United Kingdom of Heaton, the sphere of influence of the Olympian gods, into a country that does not believe in us, but believes in heaven, how can we unite with such forces, eliminate other forces, and increase the power of heaven?" ”

"Besides, we Olympus, the relationship between the gods is very loose, from Zeus to those gods, servants and oracles, they all like pleasure and don't like to fight, and the gods just form a god system because of the oath of unity, and want to mobilize everyone to fight, hehe...... Zeus may not be able to do it. ”

Lin Meng's heart breathed a sigh of relief slightly, fortunately, the gods here did not want to be used as a spear by heaven.

The two of them said a few words, but they were silent with their own hearts, and the scene was suddenly a little awkward, when from the high sky, a golden light fell downward, turning into a young man.

The man was extremely handsome, with long fragrant and slightly flowing hair hanging down his shoulders, a face in the shape of melon seeds, and a broad forehead, which made him appear shrewd, determined, serene, dignified and proud. He wears a crown woven from the branches and leaves of laurel, eros and olive trees on his head, and holds a harp in his hand.

"Artemis, I made up a new song, and I was about to play it for you, but I couldn't find you anywhere, so you came here...... Hey? The immortal gods of the East? ”

The man and Artemis seemed to be very affectionate, and with this handsome appearance with brilliant blond hair, Lin Meng's heart couldn't help but surge with vigilance, who is he? Could it be Artemis' lover? Damn it...... How can there be a feeling of being NTR.

Artemis obviously also felt Lin Meng's mentality, the woman who was a little sad before, was in a better mood, smiled slightly, her cheeks showed a crescent moon, and she went up to hold the man's right arm: "Yes, he is a friend I know." ”

The man looked at Artemis in amazement, he was Apollo, the sun god of Olympus, and at the same time the god of music, medicine, and the elder brother of Artemis.

This sister was born almost at the same time as him, so they are not estranged from each other, but they are definitely not too close. Now, how is Artemis so intimate? Apollo was not stupid, on the contrary, one of the brightest gods on Mount Olympus, and immediately understood that it was because of this teenager.

He laughed secretly in his heart, this sister, because she hated the chaotic relationship between men and women in the Olympus god line, especially the desolate silver of her father Zeus, and thus hated almost all men who announced that they would not marry for life, it seemed to be a bit of a turnaround?

Apollo deliberately talked and laughed with Artemis, and Lin Meng's face on the other side gradually became a little unkind, Artemis is a member of the Olympus god system, Jade is her, she is not Jade, but no matter what, Jade is the woman next to her, and it is impossible for any male surname to be generous when he sees such a scene.

Now Lin Meng, the emperor of the heavenly court, has his own majesty, under the anger, the sky changes, above Mount Olympus, the sun was shining, but now there is a black cloud, and the thunder in the cloud is flickering.

The grass around the mountain began to wither, and the air was filled with snow.

Artemis felt the anger in Lin Meng's heart, reacted, and seemed to have gone a little too far, and was about to explain the relationship with Apollo, but Apollo, who felt the coercion and murder, became excited: "It doesn't seem to be an ordinary oriental immortal!" Want to fight? Very good, even that Ares guy, I'm not afraid, let alone an Oriental Immortal! ”

The original Apollo was a warrior dressed in a white robe, dressed as a handsome young man, holding a harp, but now his golden light flashed on his body, turning into a golden helmet and golden armor, holding a golden spear, carrying a golden bow, and a golden sword hanging from his waist, and releasing a strong golden light all over his body.

"Oh? Gold Saint Seiya. ”

Lin Meng also guessed the man in front of him now, I am afraid that it is the sun god Apollo of this god system, and the golden light of the sun shining around him is proof - he does not know the Olympus god system, the moon goddess and Apollo are brother and sister, thinking that Apollo is a famous playboy in this god system, and thinking that the jade is obviously the reincarnation of part of the soul of the moon god, but he can use the sun, I am afraid that it is because of this man that he is angry in his heart, and he sarcastically said a little sarcastically.

"Golden Saint Seiya? Do you mean those warriors chosen by Athena? I'm not a Golden Saint Seiya, how can that kind of existence have one percent of my greatness? ”

Apollo raised his spear and pointed it at Lin Meng from afar, this young brother is in the Olympus god system, he is a prominent main god, full of arrogance, he said to Lin Meng: "Immortals from the East, pick up your weapon, let me see what strength you have, pursue Artemis." ”

"I'm not pursuing Artemis, I'm just looking at you a little unpleasant."

Lin Meng felt that this man, the powerful divine energy in his body, the golden light released from the surface of his body, stabbed on his body, he was slightly painful, and put away the small vision in his heart, this man was definitely a fierce opponent no less than Sun Xing.

The three-pin lotus platform is the hole card, and it has not been taken out, Lin Meng's head is still hanging the Donghuang Bell, and two swords, one black and one white, fly out of his body - with the double swords, it can be seen that he is really a little angry in his heart.

"What a fierce sword."

Apollo was slightly taken aback, and said to Lin Meng: "This is the Olympus Divine Domain, our fight will cause destruction, come with me!" ”

The god covered in gold armor summoned a sun carriage, sat on it and flew towards the sky, Lin Meng followed behind, Donghuang Zhong, Ji Du, and Rahu Jian, flying beside him, the two flew to the sky together, Apollo, who was driving the sun carriage, suddenly untied the golden bow, pulled out a red gold arrow, and automatically appeared on the bowstring.

A huge pillar of golden light pierced through the void, and the flying arrows of red gold, with the golden light of the sun and millions of degrees of golden fire that were too dazzling to be seen with their eyes, dyed the void into a golden yellow.

Lin Meng saw clearly, the arrow of the sun god was enough to turn a mountain peak into lava, the Donghuang Bell shook overhead, the starlight of time and space flowed, the golden arrow reached the front of the bell, and it was shaken and immediately shattered inch by inch, and the flames and light dissipated together, but the surface of the Donghuang Bell was also shot out of a small pit more than a finger deep.

"How dare you destroy my magic weapon?"

Lin Meng's heart was even more annoyed, the chaotic vitality was infused into the Jidu Sword, and a laser-like beam of light grew rapidly on the surface of the white sword, forming a huge weapon that was even more magnificent than the Light Blade Slashing Sword, swinging the light saber and slashing downward.

Seeing the ferocity of the sword light, Apollo was pressed by a fierce aura, and hurriedly took out a golden shield from the carriage.

The golden shield blocked the sword light, but the rest of the thick sword light fell, and the sun carriage and the eight-legged horse pulling the cart were all twisted into pieces in the fierce sword light - no, it was not a fragment, the internal energy of the sword light was extremely violent, and the sun carriage and the divine horse pulling the cart were broken up into particles and completely disappeared in the glory.

"My carriage!"

The sun god Apollo was also angry at this time, he held the sun golden shield in one hand and the sun golden spear in the other, turning into a golden streamer from the sky and rushing towards Lin Meng.

The sun god was furious, like a flaming star crashing, and the entire sky of the Sanctuary of Mount Olympus was dyed red.

Lin Meng constantly vibrated the Eastern Emperor Bell and sent out a circle of sound waves, resisting the sun flames, and the double swords of Jidu and Rahu turned into a black under the infusion of mana, and a white pillar of light swept away, and in the sky, wherever the white light and black light swept, the flames were scattered one after another, and the sky was re-revealed.

Such a battle scene almost shocked the entire god system of Mount Olympus below, and a famous god came out of the temple and looked at the sky in surprise, gold, black, and white appeared intertwined with light.

Artemis's heart was completely anxious, she was one of the virgin goddesses when she was in Olympus, without any feelings between men and women, and a part of her soul was reincarnated as Jade, who was originally surnamed Ge Qiang, but in the world of mummies, she was conquered by Lin Meng.

In the earth world, Jade has always had a deep love for Lin Meng, and the soul returned, and this love was also inherited by her, just now it was just the thoughts of some little daughters, wanting to see how deep her position in Lin Meng's heart was, who knew that Lin Meng was directly angry and fought with Apollo.

In the sky, the golden light of the sun, the fire of the sun, and the white and black fierce sword light were twisted together, and there were also space-time turbulence and starlight surging from time to time, and she couldn't intervene at all.

"Good!"

After all, Apollo only had one shield to resist, and one was accidentally swept away by the Jidu Sword, and the black sword light of the Rahu Sword cut a deep sword mark on the red gold armor, almost hurting the divine body, and the real fire surged in his heart, and he put the weapon away, and hit it out with both palms continuously.

The golden light palm prints turned into endless light rain that overturned most of the sky in an instant, the sword light of Lin Meng's two weapons was broken by the light palm prints, and the space-time star ring of the Eastern Emperor Bell was also broken, and the huge bronze bell emitted a piercing roar, and it was beaten far away.

"Ahh

Seeing that the Eastern Emperor Bell that Lin Meng used for defense was knocked away, Artemis hurriedly threw out two magic weapons - the original Golden Wheel and the Moon Golden Wheel, the two magic weapons are the treasures of the Kunlun Sect of Shushan Sect, and in this world, they are just ordinary earth immortal magic weapons.

But Artemis's status is noble, and after the jade's soul flew back with the magic weapon, she went to ask the god of craftsmen, Hezhnstos, to re-strengthen the two magic weapons, adding many precious materials, and now the two treasures, even in the Olympus God Domain, are also top-level artifacts.

Of course, the name of the artifact has also become the essence wheel and the moon wheel.

The moon wheel turned into a silver crescent-like streamer, and slashed towards Apollo, and the essence wheel unfolded to form a golden light curtain, flying towards the place where Lin Meng was to block the palm print, Jade knew that Apollo's move "Sun God Light Palm" was extremely powerful, not only sacrificed the magic weapon, but also shot out a silver moon god light flow from the lower quarter moon mark in the center of the eyebrows.

"Stop!"

A low command resounded throughout the sacred realm of Mount Olympus, and on the top of the mountain, stood an old man with a thick beard, white hair, tall and strong, and an extremely majestic appearance, the old man's eyes were as bright as stars, wearing a white robe, and holding a scepter in his right hand.

He threw the scepter into the sky, only to hear a great thunderbolt that shook the sky, and the light palm prints and silver light streams in the sky all dissipated, and even the two magic weapons sacrificed by Artemis were shocked back to their original form and flew back into the girl's hands.

All the variegated colors in the sky disappeared, only the cyan thunder flowed, and the gods standing in the Olympus Mountains, as well as Atlas, the god of optimism who raised his arms and carried the sky on his back, all looked at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky in shock, and felt the power of the god king Zeus in their hearts.

Lin Meng stood in the middle of the three-rank lotus platform, when the golden light palm print hit before, he sacrificed this magic weapon, and now Zeus threw a thunderbolt to turn the sky into a sea of thunder, and the rolling thunder was terrifying, and it could not break through the red, blue, and purple three colors of brilliance.

After a full quarter of an hour, the sea formed by the thunder in the sky slowly dissipated, revealing Lin Meng inside.

Stepping on the three-rank lotus platform, Lin Meng landed on Mount Olympus, and Apollo was glaring at him, Artemis hurriedly ran over, took his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, he is the sun god Apollo, and he is also my brother!" ”

"Uh......"

Lin Meng's face couldn't help but twitch, Apollo was actually a brother and sister with her? What are you kidding, that your own battle, not only did not express resentment, but offended Apollo?

"Hahaha......"

Zeus suddenly let out a burst of laughter: "It is worthy of the reincarnation of Satan, the Lord of Hell, and it has recovered to the strength of the main god level in a short time, and even my thunder has not hurt you even half a point, it seems that if you continue to fight, Apollo is not your opponent." ”

With the laughter, a ray of light directly moved Lin Meng, Artemis, and Apollo to the top of Olympus, in front of Zeus.

Lin Meng looked at the god king in front of him, compared to the god Haotian, this Zeus is more majestic, he is a sturdy and good-looking old man, the momentum and coercion of the god king, with the oppression of his gaze, even if it is him, he feels a little uncomfortable.

"I am not the Lord of Hell, I joined Heaven in this life, and now I am the Emperor of Yuming." Lin Meng smiled.

"Join Heavenly Court? Heaven is not necessarily much better than my Olympus, you simply join Olympus, I will make you the king of gods, and marry my daughter, Artemis, the most beautiful pearl of the entire Olympus! ”

Zeus is worthy of being the king of the gods on Mount Olympus, and these words shocked Lin Meng, Artemis, Apollo, and even everyone present with a violent shock in their hearts.

There are only three god kings in Olympus, namely Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the king of Hades, so that an outsider can become a god king? And also married Artemis to each other - there are many goddesses of Olympus, Hera, the queen of heaven, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon, are undoubtedly the four most remarkable.

Among them, Artemis is one of the few virgin goddesses in the whole of Olympus, which is even more precious.

The god-king and the goddess of the moon are such tempting conditions! Apollo, who was next to him when he heard this condition, and Hermes, another curly-haired god who was holding a willow scepter wrapped in a ribbon, couldn't help but say: "Great King of the Gods, please think carefully before making a decision!" ”

Lin Meng looked at Zeus, and from the solemnity in the old man's star-like bright gaze, he understood that the other party was not laughing casually - besides, as the king of a god system, Haotian God is golden mouth jade words will not change once they say it, and Zeus is too.

That is to say, as long as you agree, you will immediately become the fourth god king of the Olympus god system, and her status is equivalent to that of the five emperors of heaven, and you will also get Artemis, the Olympus god system, the purest goddess.

"He is the King of all that is, and he will always be so;

Zeus is the beginning, Zeus is the end, the god of thunder and lightning;

Zeus is the beginning, Zeus is the end, and everything is made by him;

Zeus holds the end of all living beings, and Zeus is a powerful destiny;

Zeus is the king, Zeus is the lord of thunder and lightning, the foundation of all things;

He hid all things, and brought light to all things to make people happy.

Outside of his flawless heart, this god of infinite merit ......"

Lin Meng recited the verses in praise of Zeus from the Dervini manuscript, and then said with a smile: "He is worthy of being the king of the gods, this kind of courage is really amazing...... However, I can only thank the God King for his kindness, after all, I have joined the Heavenly Court, and now Huaxia is in trouble, I leave at this time, not only do I not have the demeanor of the Emperor of the Heavenly Court, but also some mortal people who can keep their promises? ”

"It's a shame."

Zeus also understood that Lin Meng's surname to join the Olympus god system was very small, but with Artemis's relationship, there may not be no other opportunities to make friends in the future, and he would not be disappointed, so he laughed and said: "When Satan rebelled against heaven in your previous life, I was cultivating in Olympus, and I was also a little heartbroken about Satan's bearing, but you were later pressed in the Purgatory Fire Lake, and you didn't have the opportunity to meet." ”

"In this life, you took the initiative to come to the door, you must have a good time in my Olympus."

"Thank you for the kindness of the God King."

The gods of the Olympian god system often like the Nether when they are not working, and go to the United Kingdom of Heaton on the continent of the human world, which is equivalent to Greece on the earth, to mingle and enjoy. The whole Olympus is almost a god who advocates pleasure, Zeus has been in the world for a long time, and is no stranger to all kinds of interpersonal interactions, and he is courteous to welcome Lin Meng into the palace.

"Hey, does my father seem to have too much respect for this kid?"

The sun god Apollo, who had not defeated Lin Meng in the previous battle, was interrupted, and the sun carriage was also destroyed, so he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"If Satan had come to Olympus, wouldn't it have been too strange to have such respect? He is the reincarnation of Satan and has obtained two supreme artifacts in chaos, and is the key person in this era. "Although Hermes didn't want an outsider god king to appear on Mount Olympus, he was very clear about Lin Meng's value.

He glanced at Apollo and said, "It's a pity that you are a man, if it were a woman, maybe my father would marry you and my sister to that boy." ”

After saying this, he ignored the stunned Apollo, and followed him into the temple.

Lin Meng and Zeus sat down separately, Artemis sat aside, her face was still slightly red, her heart was happy and lost, happy that Zeus seemed that he would not stop her from interacting with Lin Meng, but refusing that condition just now also made her a little sad.

"I came to Mount Olympus this time to see the former companion Jade in the world of the earth, and now I know that the original Jade is Artemis, but I didn't expect to have some conflicts with Apollo, please forgive me."

"Young people, energetic and active, should also be active."

Zeus said with a smile, and at the same time invited several divine servants and maids to pour a double pink, fragrant wine for Lin Meng, Olympus has a famous god of wine, and the wine here is even more than the elixir brewed by Heaven in terms of taste.

"Thank you."

Lin Meng nodded slightly to the maid, but his gaze fell on the back of this temple of Zeus, where on the altar, there was a golden luxury sword that shimmered brightly, and a blazing, red and white holy flame.

"That's the Olympus Excalibur, and the Olympian Flame."

Zeus made a brief introduction, and then a somewhat lazy voice suddenly sounded: "Oh? It seems that an honored guest has arrived, and I, the mistress of Mount Olympus, am also very happy. ”

With the voice, a goddess walked into this temple, she wore a gorgeous crown of jewels, her golden wavy hair was draped behind her like the waves, all the way down her hips, her small but straight nose and seductive red lips were dotted on her fair face, and under the slender and curved eyebrows, the blue eyes, as deep as the sea, and the charming gaze exuded, added a charm and beauty to the goddess.

The goddess wore a long dress with a hollow gold pattern, just the right amount to expose a snow-white chest, and a string of red teardrop-shaped gemstones hung between the full breasts, composed of a necklace.

There is no doubt that this is the Olympian god lineage, the highest-ranking wife: Hera, the queen of heaven.

Seeing this woman enter the temple, Zeus didn't seem to be very happy, but said to Lin Meng casually: "This is the god queen of Mount Olympus, Hera, and my wife." Then he changed the topic, and now, the husband and wife, I don't know what kind of conflict has happened.

Lin Meng didn't dare to be disrespectful to Hera, in the myth of the mirror world earth, Hera's small belly and chicken intestines and viciousness were extremely famous - of course, on the other hand, this was also the anger generated by a woman marrying a playboy.

"I've seen the diva."

Seeing Lin Meng's respectful salute, Hera nodded with satisfaction, a little happy in her heart, the person in front of her was the reincarnation of Satan, and the dignity of such an existence was not inferior to her and Zeus.

In fact, in this life, although Lin Meng is unwilling to have any more contact with his previous life and start over, the relationship left over from his previous life is invisibly and will also help him. He doesn't have the identity of Satan's reincarnation, just a mortal, controlling the Chaos Spirit Treasure, and the Heavenly Court will crown him as the Five Emperors?

Without the identity of Satan's reincarnation, Zhen Yuanzi will be commensurate with his Taoist friends? Without this identity, would Zeus and Hera be respectful to him? Satan's identity is invisibly enough to make any existence in this world, except for the saint ant, there is no difference, and no one other than Hongjun, who has incarnated into the Heavenly Dao, even a saint, will not underestimate him.

Lin Meng's etiquette made Hera's psychology full of appreciation, if it was a mortal, or an ordinary servant or messenger on Mount Olympus, even if he knelt and kowtowed, the queen of heaven would not look at those people with straight eyes.

"Well, very nice boy, I heard that you and Artemis are reincarnated, and they are a pair of lovers?" Hera asked.

"Uh......"

Lin Meng was a little embarrassed, his real lover was Ye Ying, of course, after the interaction with the world on the earth, there was no relationship between him and Jade, and it was impossible, for this question, for a while, he didn't know how to answer. (To be continued.) )
