Chapter 314: Heading for the Caucasus Mountains

Pandora was the first woman made of clay by Hephaestus in Greek mythology, and was given to humanity as punishment for Prometheus' stealing fire. The gods bestowed gifts that made her even more seductive: Hephaestus, the god of fire, made her a magnificent golden robe; give her the power to charm and seduce men; Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the skill of speech. The gods each gave her a gift, but Athena was the only one who refused to give her wisdom, so Pandora's actions were thoughtless.

Zeus first ordered Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, to use water and earth synthesis to mix and make a lovely woman in the image of the goddess; and then command Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, to drench in the scent that drives men mad; Athena, the goddess of wisdom and craftsmanship, dressed her and wore a headband (this headband was the work of Hephaestus, the god of fire), a necklace with beads, and a delicate bride. Hermes, the messenger of God, imparted her gift for language; So Zeus poured vicious evil water into this beautiful image. Hames came up with the idea and said, "Call this woman Pandora, it's a gift from the gods to all mankind." "The gods approve of his construction. In ancient Greek, Pan meant everything, and Dora meant a gift. Pandora's original meaning is 'a woman with a qiē gift'.

Zeus then ordered Hermes to bring her to Prometheus' younger brother Epimetheus the Awakened to become his wife. Epimetheus was completely different from Prometheus and had a simple heart, and Prometheus advised him: "If Zeus gives you anything, it must not be accepted." But Epimetheus forgot his warning, and Pandora's temptation. Immediately obsessed with beauty and forget about Prometheus' reminders

Zeus gave Pandora a sealed box filled with scourges, calamities, and pestilences, etc., for her to give to the man who married her. Prometheus was convinced that Zeus had bad intentions towards mankind and warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus. But he did not listen to the advice and married the beautiful Pandora. Driven by curiosity, Pandora opened the box, and at once all the calamities, pestilences, and scourges inside flew out. Mankind has since been afflicted with calamities, pestilences, and scourges. And before the beautiful thing "Hope", which Athena, the goddess of wisdom, quietly placed at the bottom of the box in order to save the fate of mankind, flew out of the box, the panicked Pandora closed the box.

Kusla doesn't know why the dark-haired young man in front of him wants to meet Pandora, but Pandora is a mythical figure with a long history. Naturally, it is impossible to see it as often as ordinary people want.

So to speak.

"You're going to summon Pandora?"

Ling Yi shook his head.

"That's not going to work. There is a difference between Pandora and Pandora. ”

Regardless of age or country, it is basically human beings who give names and myths to gods.

A powerful god who threatens and sometimes bestows favors on mankind.

In primitive times, they had no name.

Mankind has only indifferently found the posture of God in the vast sky and the great earth. Fear of the storms and floods brought about by God's wrath. Worship dangerously powerful beasts as if they were the embodiment of a god.

But. Over the course of time, humans have given gods names and made up myths for them.

For example. The creation of the earth zào god Iluvita. Hercules, the god of the battlefield. Artemis, the goddess of fertility.

For example, Ogun, the god of struggle and forge. At the same time, Tezcat, the god of rough warriors and the god of destruction, is Tezcatripoca.

For example, Vishnu with twelve incarnations.

There are as many gods as the stars.

All were born at the hands of humans.

These rituals can be said to have been produced by lowly human beings in order to prevent the divine power of the gods from becoming too powerful.

The gods who get the name and the myth don't do anything beyond these two things. When we give favors to human beings, and when we receive something in return, we act according to our duties.

Therefore, people can be prepared for God's threats or blessings.

However, if there is a god who makes a name that goes beyond what He has been given and what the myth represents.

If there were gods who had returned to primitive times with fewer mythological constraints.

Such a god is called the God of Disobedience.

They wander on the earth in opposition to the myths that humans have wove together. When wandering in the country of the people who have given their names, it is like the water flowing in the land without green.

One day, the disobedient god will bring disaster to the world in the future.

If the god of the sun descends, the whole world will become extremely hot.

If the god of the sea descends, the whole world will be swallowed by the waves and sink to the bottom of the sea.

If the god of Hades comes, the plague will spread to every corner of the world, turning the world into a city of death.

If the God of Judgment comes, the people who live here will be punished in a variety of ways.

As long as it exceeds a little, it will have such an impact on the world, and the god of calamity who creates his own posture according to his own preference - this is the god of disobedience.

"I want to see the real Pandora, not the mad Calamity."

"Epimetheus and Pandora, the spell left by the witch. The Dark Christmas Rite that gave birth to the son of a fool and a witch is a secret ritual that can only succeed with the sacrifice of the gods! If you want to see Pandora, you can only become a godslayer, but don't you hate godkillers very much? ”

The colorful liquor swayed in the glass and soon changed to a new color.

-- Black without impurities.

Ling Yi put the glass of wine he had made on the table and pushed it in front of Kusla.

"Let's try it."

Kusla's face sank, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

But he knew he had no choice.

"Is this wine?"

Kusra took a slight sip, and unlike the mellow champagne, the 'dark drink' was unusually refreshing.

I only heard Ling Yi say slowly:

"It's wine, but I've completely dispelled it."

“”

Kusla was speechless, what the hell is this guy messing around.

"It's tempting to be a godslayer. But I'm more interested in the secret ritual of 'taking the gods as a sacrifice and creating a zào god killer'. As long as I understand the principle of that secret ritual, I will be able to erase a thing that is unreasonable. How's that, that's interesting, right? Ling Yi said with a smile.

In fact, this is a task released by the system - [Chaotic World].

There are two conditions for completion.

They are 'erasing the irrational' and 'the earth of primitive age'.

This is the real sense of the word, against the whole world, against all magicians, against humans, against God.

Kusra looked down and thought for a moment.

"Yes."

He finally relented.

"Let me see how credible your words are."

The implication is that he can't be persuaded by lip service alone.

"Of course, I've already booked a ticket, and tomorrow we'll go to the Caucasus Mountains."

"Caucasus Mountains?"

Kusra looked at him in surprise, and Ling Yi didn't explain. Pull out a book from the hill-like stack and hand it to him.

He looked down. The title of the book is "The Iliad".

****************

The Iliad is also translated as the Iliad and the Iliad. Legend has it that it was written by the blind poet Homer. It is an important work of ancient Greek literature and one of the classics of the whole West.

It mainly tells the story of the Greek expedition to the city of Troy. It depicts the Trojan War through guò, and celebrates the heroes who fought bravely, defended the interests of the collective, and made meritorious contributions to the collective.

After the conversation, Kusla dragged his tired body back to his room to rest.

Only Ling Yi and Tomorrow Nai were left in the living room.

"Do ancient heroes also belong to the 'gods of disobedience'?"

"Who knows."

"I don't remember that god appearing in the Iliad. The same is about Greek mythology. There is a better fit than the "Iliad". For example, Hesiod's Theogony. ”

Assuna said with a slight puffed face.

The Theogony depicts the universe and the birth of gods, from the birth of the earth god Gaia to the domination of the world by the Olympian gods. Most of the content is about the struggle between gods and the change of power.

The relationship with the "Iliad" is more like that of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

"He is the god of fire. He is also a shapeshifter, a cunning and treacherous god. In this way, it is quite similar to Loki of Norse mythology, and may have the same origin. But in Northern Europe, Loki is a giant, not a god, but an anthropomorphic of nature. Ling Yi talked eloquently while waving the "Iliad" in his hand.

"Compared with the "Divine Genealogy", which represents the gods, it is really more suitable for the "Iliad", which represents the heroes. After all, what happened to the 'heroes' who have great benevolence to mankind? Your face isn't very good. ”

"No, no, it's your delusion!"

Hearing this, Amena said calmly.

However, her ability to hide her feelings was too poor, and no matter how much she denied it, she couldn't hide it from Ling Yi's eyes.

"Are you sick?"

Ling Yi ignored Tomorrow's flushed face and pressed his forehead to her forehead.

"The body temperature is a bit high"

"It's all your fault!"

"Huh?"

Ling Yi, who was pushed away, was confused.

"You, didn't you really mean to be stupid?"

Finally calmed down, Tomorrow Na glared at him and said.

"When I was sick before, my mother treated me like this, and although I was a little shy by the time I was fifteen or sixteen, I could barely accept it. Are you shy? ”

Ling Yi looked surprised.

"It's just too hot."

"It's winter, and to be honest, even I think it's a little weird to wear only a shirt."

"Did you just realize it?!"

Asukina said in astonishment.

"Is the homework done compared to this?"

Ling Yi suddenly changed the subject. At any time, he has a very strong sense of crisis, and even his daily chats are flawless.

"That projection magic"

Speaking of 'homework', Asukina frowned in annoyance.

"I have a thorough understanding of the principle of the technique, but I always fail I'm sorry, obviously you are so serious and careful to guide, I must be too stupid."

She said dejectedly.

"Always failing?"

Ling Yi listened to her words and nodded thoughtfully.

"Actually, there's no need to care so much, the reason why I taught you projection magic is to teach you a higher level of secret rituals. The disadvantages of projection magic are very obvious, it consumes magic power, the difficulty is very high, and the effect is not stable, this kind of magic naturally cannot succeed every time, regardless of the number of failures, as long as you can succeed once, it means that you are not short of talent, but there is something missing. ”

"It's just something missing"

Asujina muttered to herself, as if touched.

"I see, is this the true face of the sense of disobedience I felt?"

"Then again, only the projection fails, and the reinforcement and other steps are fine."

"Well, no problem."

Asukina nodded emphatically.

"That's it."

Ling Yi had a 'sure right' expression on his face, and then comforted:

"It's not your problem, it's a flaw in the technique itself. I'll figure it out. ”

That being said, there was absolute confidence in his tone.

As soon as he talked about magic, he was so radiant, looking at Ling Yi like this, Tomorrow Nai shook his head slightly.

Why, I would like such a guy?

But a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

(Around twelve o'clock, there is still a watch, I can't wait to see it tomorrow morning) (to be continued......)
