Chapter 352: The Gods Are Dead
The fallen Olympus is like a neglected tourist attraction.
The group walked past the headless statue of Venus and walked through the charred and sacred gardens. The broken fountain gushed a bleak red liquid, and under the broken white marble stone, a twisted horse's leg was exposed.
"It's the Pegasus for Apollola's chariot. Yin Ge said gloomily.
Gao Qian didn't stop, he kept walking towards the top of the mountain, and he could make out that the surrounding scenery was the same as the illusion that the Red Knight had shown him that night, except that where the rainbow hung in the illusion, all he could see was thick black smoke.
"What the hell are we looking for here?" said Zanby suddenly in a depressed voice, "The gods are dead, what are we still doing here?"
Gao Qian turned around and glanced at Zambi: "Are you afraid?"
Zambi muttered for a moment, and then became a little annoyed: "If we can kill all the Olympian gods, we can't defeat them, right? In that case, what are we doing here? Do you still want to avenge the gods?"
"I don't have a crush on those guys at the Temple of the Gods, but I still don't think they're going to be that useless. ”
The place of black smoke had already appeared ahead, and the high dive made his way up the shattered golden marble staircase.
Erin picked up a pebble at her feet, and it glittered like gold in the sunlight.
"In mythology, the sacred mountain of Olympus is hidden in a sea of clouds, and the temple of the gods is magnificent, as if it were made of gold. The mountain is always sunny and sunny, sunny and fragrant with flowers. During the day, Apollo would set up a golden harp and play beautiful music, the three goddesses of beauty would dance in the woods, meadows, and flowers, the muses of the art would sing beautiful songs all day long, and the goddess of youth would entertain the gods with a golden cup of fairy wine. The gods enjoyed a happiness unimaginable to man, and this happiness is eternal and immortal. ”
Erin's chanting voice slowly fell, disappearing into the black smoke and ruins of the Temple of the Gods. Zeus's vast golden throne was like a melted nugget of gold, half-buried in the ruins, and the fire at the back of the temple was still burning, perhaps because it was a demonic fire, and the fire seemed to be endless, vowing to burn the golden temple to powder.
After a while, Gao Qian snorted coldly: "Immortal?"
"Yala, what do we do now?" Erin looked at the high dive, a look of anxiety welling up on her face, "What about the expedition?"
Zambi snorted: "I don't care about the expedition, I thought that after completing the expedition, maybe I would get the miracle of the gods, but now that the gods are dead, I think we are really a joke." ”
Alice stood on a slightly higher rock, looking down at the fairy forest below, and then turned around and said, "You are already invulnerable, what more miracle do you want?"
"I'm invulnerable, I'm not immortal, I want to eliminate my weaknesses. Zamby's face turned a little red, "Why did you join the expedition? Don't you also want to get a miracle from the gods?"
"Hmph, I'm going to prove that women are stronger than men, and for that purpose, of course I'm going to join the expedition. ”
Kenny and Gingo wink behind Alice's back.
Alice suddenly turned her head as if she had long eyes in the back of her head, and Kenny immediately focused on helping Yinge fix her hairstyle. Yinge's face flushed.
Alice snorted softly and turned to Erin, "What about you?
Erin was a little upset, she stepped aside, "What's the point of talking about this now?"
"Now that the gods are dead, let's go down the mountain, it always feels a little eerie here. The big Hobbes rubbed his thick arms and kept looking back, "I always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching us." You say gods, they don't turn into ghosts or anything, do they?"
Zambi laughed loudly at Hobbs.
Gao Qian looked behind Hobbes with a serious face, and Hobbs's face changed: "What are you looking at? Don't be like this, this joke is not funny at all." Everyone stared behind Hobbes, who was so nervous that he almost fainted: "I hate this kind of joke the most." ”
"Don't faint. Zambi stepped forward and grabbed Hobbs and told him to look back.
Hobbes yelled and jumped backwards, and Zambi was knocked out of him and fell to the ground, rubbing his chest in pain: "You bastard, what a kindness is not worth repaying." ”
"Who are you? Aren't you really a ghost?" Hobbes said, covering his eyes with his hands, "Can a god become a ghost haunt the daylight?"
To everyone's surprise, a golden silhouette appeared in the sun. Her body seemed to be made up of steaming golden mist, fluctuating constantly, but her graceful figure was still recognizable. Although she can't see her face clearly, she makes people think she is beautiful. She wore a wreath of flowers on her head and a dress made of grass.
"Who are you?" asked the high dive.
The golden silhouette didn't speak, she nodded slightly towards Gao Di, like a noble lady responding to a man's greeting.
"It's Demetre, the goddess of grains. The Sphinx, who was lying in the shade of the tree and sweeping her tail, said, "It seems that she is not recovering well, and she has no substance." ”
"Lady of the Grain, recovery?" said High Dive as he walked past the trembling Hobbes to the Goddess of Grain, "Can you tell me what happened to the Temple of the Gods, and who attacked the Temple of the Gods?"
The Goddess of Cereals shook her head with a sad look.
"She can't speak yet, poor goddess of grain. The Sphinx in the shade of the tree said sympathetically, "These gods who depend on human faith are more pitiful than monsters like us, and once humans lose their faith, they are nothing." ”
"But humans are still growing grains. "Isn't the belief in the goddess of grains the easiest to get from the farmer?" said the Minotaur.
"They believe in pesticides and cooperative machinery, so they don't pray to the goddess of grains and follow gentle advice. The Sphinx snorted, "Although humans have lost their machinery after the cataclysm, their nature to use shortcuts has not changed, I heard that they now use witch medicine instead of pesticides, you know? It is more terrible than the original poison, and many terrible monsters are made by abusing witch medicine." ”
Gao Qian frowned slightly, and said to the Sphinx: "Xiao Si, is there any way to communicate with the goddess?"
"Yes, the prayer of human devotion is sufficient. ”
Feeling that he was not good at this, he turned his head to look at the recent Zambi and the hunky Hobbs. Zambi scratched his head: "I didn't believe in gods since I was a child, and I didn't know how to pray. ”
Hobbes shook his head repeatedly: "If my mother knew that I prayed to foreign gods, she would kill me." ”
Gao Qian snorted: "Then you should persuade your mother to exchange blood for you first." ”
Gao Qian's eyes fell on the only two ladies.
Alice showed a look of embarrassment: "I won't either, the woman is feminine, I haven't done it." ”
Gao Qian looked at Erin speechlessly, "What about you?"
"Okay, I'll give it a try. Erin closed her eyes.
