Chapter 66: History

"What's in that diary?"

"A lot of important historical sources, including the identity of the captain, who was the marshal of the Conqueror, make this book invaluable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"What if it's fake?"

"This book is in the Pope's collection. Hyenas always get a head start, and that's because they have this. ”

"Did it mention how to defeat that monster?"

"I haven't found it yet. ”

It is a thick book, and it contains a very detailed account, from the time the conqueror decides on the expedition to the end of the captain's mission, and almost every page contains many important details.

"What if...... There's no mention of how to defeat the hydra?"

"Then I'll figure out a way, there's a witch here, there's always a way. ”

"Hope you're right......"

Time passed, Medea returned, the sailors returned, the camp was set up, and Magellan had tables, chairs, and tents while he read.

But he still hasn't found a way to defeat the monster.

The diary is very detailed, and there may or may not be an important clue hidden in it.

"Don't worry, the brainless hyenas can get ahead of us with this book, then you will definitely be able to kill that big guy with it. "Edward had a lot of faith in Magellan, and he spent most of his time with sailors, hunting or telling stories.

"Actually, the hyena is not on his own, do you see this?" Magellan turned the big book to the title page, and on the blank parchment, there was a bright red seal, on which the words "St. Paul's Library" were written, "This is the collection of the secret archives of the Holy See, which means that at least three real scholars, historians and mythologists, and even theologians and linguists, have thoroughly read and studied the book, and their research results are attached to the back of the book." ”

"I'll just say hyenas don't have this brain. The captain smiled, "Then you found a way to deal with the big snake in the conclusion?"

Magellan shook his head.

Edward took a deep puff of his pipe and was silent for a moment.

"Don't worry, we have time. ”

"Actually," Medea said indistinctly, putting a piece of rabbit meat in her mouth, "I've just found a sorcery that might deal with that hydra." ”

As she spoke, the witch had an excited smile on her face, causing Edward to shake uncomfortably.

"That can be used as a backup plan, to plan for the worst-case scenario, which I learned in my diary. ”

"No," the Count poured cold water on Magellan's gloomy face, "if there is no way to defeat the hydra in this book, we will leave here." ”

"If you want me to say, I think the Count is right. The captain said this, which surprised both Magellan and Medea, "You see, that thing can casually let us go to the sea mother, and the treasure is only useful if it is alive." ”

"You're right," Magellan nodded, "but I'll wait until I've finished my diary." ”

"Well, so you think that the papacy is a historian and a mythologist at the same time, and even a theologian and a linguist," Edward said with an exaggerated mockery in both his tone and expression, "and they are not as good as you?"

"I didn't say that. ”

Magellan put a yellowish plant root in his mouth and ended the dinner.

Saying goodbye to the others, he slipped into the tent and opened the diary.

Unbeknownst to all, Magellan was fascinated by the book itself, not by the way to defeat the hydra, which might be hidden within.

This is the diary of the Admiral of the Conqueror.

A legendary figure who has not even left his name in history, but has actually participated in many major events, has no scruples about listing the secrets of his experience.

It's an irresistible temptation.

The diary begins with a meeting in which the conquistador, after deciding to march to the far east, gathers his trusted men, announces the news, and makes plans with the attendees.

This detailed account of the proceedings of the meeting alone is a piece of historical material that drives all historical researchers crazy.

This is followed by a melancholy poem by the captain, who is saddened by his inability to follow the conqueror.

However, the admiral soon picked himself up, and he collected numerous documents from ancient Theros, looking for clues to the idol of Athena.

The story of the Athena worshippers and the admiral's search for the statue of the goddess officially begins.

This is a story similar to Magellan's experience, except that Magellan follows the clues left by the captain, and the captain follows Athena's guidance.

The ship was luckier than Magellan, and it was only a few decades after Athena's disappearance that Athens was inhabited by witches, priests, and philosophers. They helped the admiral find the reclusive goddess, and then Athena gave him a mission.

This task cheered up the captain, and he believed that the completion of this task would be enough for him to stand before the emperor who had conquered the Far East without feeling ashamed.

After that the captain began his journey to the Amazon island, the forest of Dionysus, and he acted according to the will of the goddess, took out the hidden statue, took it to Chloe, and built the temple.

The diary ends with the captain's praise of the temple, an architectural marvel that fills his heart with awe and awe.

From beginning to end, there is no mention of how to defeat the hydra, and the word hydra does not even appear.

But Magellan still read the whole book without missing a word, because many of his questions have been answered.

When did the statue of Athena leave the Acropolis, where did it go, and why?

Long before the victory over the Third Setsa Invasion, Athena had disappeared with her core priests, and it was this group of wealthy and powerful people in Athena who had completed the vanishing magic of the goddess statue out of thin air, and their destination was the Dionysian forest.

This explains many questions, such as why the third invasion of the Sertes reached Athens without the goddess intervening, and why the alliance between Athens and Sparta was established and dissolved so quickly.

If Athena had abandoned the mortal world at that time, everything would have made sense.

Whatever the goddess had been doing in the decades before the captain found Athena, she returned to Athens and decided to build an "eternal abode" for herself.

A papal theologian left a note next to the word, allowing Magellan to understand what it really meant – "a temple of absolute security."

The captain sailed into the distance under the guidance of the goddess, and the places he passed through were all places where the goddess's followers lived.
