Chapter 205: Being smart is mistaken by being smart

Now that the names of Poseidon and Zeus have appeared, Zhao Xu can determine that this should be a secret realm related to Greek mythology.

Although Zhao Xu doesn't know much about Greek mythology, he has heard some very famous stories, such as the Trojan War, such as the stallion story of Zeus, who is comparable to the evil ghost in the color, etc., looking at the box with a dangerous atmosphere in his hand, Zhao Xu recalled the Greek mythological stories he read when he was a child, among which there is a side thing with "danger" and "box" - Pandora's box.

Legend has it that Zeus was furious that humans had learned how to make fire from Prometheus, so in order to destroy mankind and bring disaster to the world, he ordered his son, Hephaestus, the god of fire, to make a woman named Pandora out of clay.

The meaning of the name "Pandora" is: "the one who is endowed with all goodness" - each god has endowed her with something to make her perfect.

Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her a sharp tongue, and Apollo gave her a gift for music.

In this way, Pandora became a woman of beauty and intelligence, enough to captivate all beings.

Then, Zeus gave Pandora a sealed box full of scourges, calamities, and pestilences, and sent her to the earth, so that the powerful men of the world would compete to pursue her and fight each other, and the final victor could become the king of the world, establish the royal capital, and then marry her, so that all the people could offer their blessings under the walls of the royal capital.

Pandora wants to give the box as a dowry to the man who marries her, and opens it on the spot at the wedding.

The next thing is self-explanatory, in short, it is equivalent to a well-planned evil sabotage operation, which can be regarded as the originator of the world's everything, and later Westerners are so good at self-directed and self-acting boom action, it seems that there are cultural genes in it.

"Could this be 'Pandora's Box'?" the corners of Zhao Xu's mouth twitched, if so, it would be too obscure, more obscure than holding a piece of Xiang in his hand - what did he want this thing to harm others and himself?

Destroy the Earth World?

Sorry, not interested.

Thrown into the other world of mountains and seas?

Not to mention whether this thing can play a role in that world full of powers, even the ancients understood the principle of not "fishing with all their might", killing chickens and taking eggs is undoubtedly something that only the mentally handicapped do, and he still wants to grab the benefits from that world to the greatest extent! What more benefits can he gain by doing great damage and turning it into purgatory?

The most uncomfortable thing is that this thing can't be opened to see, is it or not-what if? As soon as it is opened, God knows what will come out, whether it can destroy the world I don't know, it is estimated that Zhao Xu himself will also be affected.

Just like Schrödinger's cat, before opening the box, the cat is in a superimposed state of "dead" and "not dead", and no one can be sure whether the cat is dead or not, and only after the box is opened, this superimposed state will be lifted and stabilized in a certain state.

This box is also, only at the moment of opening, do you know whether it is Pandora's box or not, Zhao Xu doesn't want to bet.

The mermaid king desperately held this box before he died, probably with malicious intentions, maybe he was in a mood of dying and breaking the net, and he was making a last fight with Zhao Xu.

"I don't know if Schrödinger's cat is dead or not. Zhao Xu sighed, put the box into the Ruyi bracelet, and said with a wry smile: "Curiosity kills cats, I can't agree anymore." ”

It really took him a lot of perseverance to hold back his curiosity and not open the box.

According to the storyline of myths and legends, neither Pandora nor her husband could hold back this curiosity.

"Keep it, maybe one day in the future, you can use it!" Zhao Xu finished speaking, and walked towards the outside of the castle.

............

Zhao Xu returned to the outside of the castle, and the octopus head sighed in despair when he saw Zhao Xu walking out unscathed.

"From today onwards, you are the new city owner. Zhao Xu threw the headless corpse of the mermaid king at the foot of the octopus head, and said to it, "This guy plotted to usurp the throne and killed the old city lord. ”

The octopus head was stunned for a moment, he no longer had any ability to resist, he thought that he could only be killed by the neck, who would have thought that this human would actually say such a thing.

"Thank you for your kindness, O strong man of the human race!" Octopus said first, "Don't worry, I'm also a rebel, and I won't be able to survive if I really pursue it, I won't take the initiative to contact the Sea King's Palace, no one knows that you have been here." ”

He is very sensible, which means that he promises to keep his mouth shut and never talk much.

"You're good. Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, "Gather all the living people in your city outside the city gate." ”

The octopus head couldn't figure out Zhao Xu's thoughts, so he could only do it.

Soon, all kinds of strange creatures gathered at the gates of the city, in addition to the remnants of the Kraken and Seahorse warriors, there were also some races that looked similar to the head of an octopus.

The total number was about one or two thousand, and they all cowered and looked at Zhao Xu and the huge yacht in awe.

Although only the Kraken clan likes to eat people, the other races actually look down on humans from the bottom of their hearts, after all, their stereotype of humans is still the same as thousands of years ago.

When was it time for human beings to rush into the underwater water city and show off their might?

"Are you sure that all the residents in the city really came out?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Yes, it's all here. The octopus head replied in horror, wondering if this human might be moody and backtracking.

Does he want to wipe out all of our sea tribes just outside this city?

Fortunately, in order to guard against this possibility, the octopus head specially arranged a small number of cronies to hide in the corner of the water city just now - it is expected that this human will not inspect room by room.

If this human slaughtered all the Sea Clans outside the city, then the Sea Clans hiding in the city would go to the Sea King's Palace, report all the current affairs, and let the people of the Sea King's Palace avenge them!

"That's good. Zhao Xu snapped his fingers, and the huge three-legged golden crow standing at the top of the castle let out a long roar, and the fire feathers on his body instantly fell like snowflakes, drowning the city below in a sea of fire.

Under the extreme heat, all the crystal buildings melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, like ice cream in the microwave.

A moment later, the original location of the water city became a complete magma land.

The octopus head watched all this with a tearful eye, and the cronies in the city belonged to their octopus people!

He remembered what the human woman had said to him before: "You guys are just too clever to be smart. ”
