Chapter 122: The Situation in Athens
The waiter bent down and stretched out his arms and said, "Distinguished guests, please come in." ”
The attitude of this waiter is far more humble than that of the restaurant in Dolphin River, and even more humble than that of all the waiters in the civilian area.
Kelton stopped, turned to look at Su Ye, and also made a gesture of please, but did not bend down.
Su Ye hesitated for a moment, nodded, and stepped in.
Later, Keldon and Huck entered the door together.
The outside of the dining room was in tatters, but inside this room it felt like another world.
Obviously it is just a single room for eating, but it is nearly 100 square meters, and the slanted beds are placed on the edge of the wall, each of which is exquisitely made, covered with expensive magic cashmere blankets.
On the walls are some very revealing paintings, in black, gray and red, each of which is about feasting and drinking, and the men in it are either undressed and the women are completely undressed.
In the middle of the sloping bed, there is a square table, which is filled with all kinds of drinking utensils.
There are some chairs next to the table, but the style doesn't match this room at all.
Kelton and Su Ye glanced at each other and could see that this was the "seven-bed room" or "men's room", which was specially used by men for drinking and gatherings, and was temporarily used as a place to discuss the matter.
Su Ye's family originally had this room, but it was converted into a bedroom.
The first two people to arrive at the square table stood up.
A tall man was dressed in a brown leather coat with light white wear and tear. His thick beard completely blocked his chin, his eyes were bright, and he laughed heartily at the sight of Keldon.
The other was a slightly chubby, middle-aged man, dressed in a gorgeous silk robe with golden patterns all over it, and six of his ten fingers with gemstone rings. The middle-aged man looked at Su Ye and Kelton with a smile on his face.
"Keldon, long time no see." Fast was so loud that it shook the room. On the surface, he was no different from an ordinary general, and it was impossible to tell that he was a Sanctuary warrior at all.
It's just that his complexion is a little ruddy, and his figure is more upright.
"General Fast!" Keldon straightened up, as he did every time he saw Fast, with his right hand resting on his left chest.
Fast smiled and nodded.
Kelton said to Su Ye: "This is General Fast. General, this is what I have mentioned to you many times in my letters. ”
"Hello General Fast." Su Ye saluted slightly.
"Hello magician friend, Keldon's letter is always praising you." Fast Road.
"I'm not convinced." Su Ye said with a smile.
Fast laughed and said, "Of course, there are a very small number of complaints, complaining that you have covered his light. ”
Kelton coughed lightly, looked at the slightly chubby middle-aged man and said to Su Ye: "This is Mr. Nidel, the vice president of the Plato Chamber of Commerce, and we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Nedel nodded with a smile and said, "Su Ye's great name is already like a statue in Plato's Academy, and no one can turn a blind eye. ”
Kelton was stunned for a moment, Su Ye is already so powerful?
"First meeting, Mr. Nedle." Su Ye's attitude towards Nedel was far inferior to that of Fast.
Huck stood on the inside of the door, nodding to the two of them without saying a word.
Fast said: "Please sit down, if you want to drink, you can choose by yourself." ”
Keldon looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye smiled: "We are here to discuss business, not to drink, waiter, remove all wine." ”
The waiter stood in the doorway, looking at Fast.
Fast waved his hand and said, "Today's protagonist is Su Ye, and he said that he would withdraw completely." ”
After speaking, Fast looked at Su Ye and said with a smile: "Okay, I like your temper." ”
Su Ye smiled, found a chair and sat down, and Kelton sat down behind him.
Su Ye asked politely, "Do you two know when Mr. Haenas is coming?" ”
Fast spread his hands helplessly and said, "I've known that kid for more than ten years, and I've never been on time, wait, I hope he didn't drink today." By the way, what are you going to name the new chamber of commerce? ”
"Let's talk together. I would like to know what is going on in Athens right now. Su Ye said.
Fast was stunned for a moment, glanced at Kelton, and asked, "Is it the inside or the outside?" ”
Su Ye was also stunned, and said in his heart that this general was really direct, it seemed that if he really asked about internal things, he would dare to say it.
"I corresponded a lot with General Fast, and occasionally mentioned you, so he is familiar with you, but you may still be a little stranger to him," Kelton explained. ”
Su Ye smiled: "Then I'll just say it bluntly, I want to know the relationship with Persia, and it is better to have the relationship between Northern Europe and Egypt." ”
Fast didn't beat around the bush either, and said bluntly: "There are too many things about Persia, let's talk about Egypt and Northern Europe first." Northern Europe has been calm recently, and even if those northern barbarians send troops to plunder, they will only affect Thrace, Thessaly, and Macedonia, and have little to do with our Athens. As for Egypt, their target is Crete, and as long as the new Minoan state of Crete stands, the Egyptian army will not be able to enter Athens and harass the unlucky ones in the Peloponnese at most. ”
"But......" the light in Fast's eyes dimmed slightly, continued, "the Persian armies continued to infest the Greek city-states, and the Greek city-states on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea were either destroyed, submitted, or allied with Persia. General Misthiades judged that in the near future the vanguard of the Persian army would be dispatched. They should not dare to go to sacred places such as Delos, and even if they pass by, they will make sacrifices to show respect for the Greek gods and avoid triggering indirect interference in the war. ”
Only then did Su Ye remember that a long time ago, the gods frequently entered the human world, resulting in frequent disasters in the human world, and the barriers of the two realms were also affected, and even the divine realm was affected. The gods feared an irreparable disaster, so the four gods joined forces to strengthen the barriers of the two realms and forbid the gods to descend on the earth.
The gods of the four major god systems also conveniently blocked other worlds, such as the underworld, hell, the Titan realm, the giant dragon mountain and sea, the four elemental planes and other planes, and even deliberately blocked the power of some races.
Unless there are special circumstances, the gods rarely attack directly in this kind of large-scale war, but occasionally they will send down their forces to attack indirectly.
Only when the other side is blasphemous or when one side asks the gods to intervene, the gods will descend with power.
Under normal circumstances, in large-scale battles, the Sanctuary is the limit of participation in the battle.
The legendary level can only catch and kill, and cannot participate in ordinary battles, because as soon as the legend makes a move, he can directly sweep away the people within a radius of several kilometers, and all the soldiers are like dust.
In order to prevent oneself from accidentally attracting the opponent's gods to attack, no matter how deep the hatred of the four kingdoms is, they will try to avoid angering the enemy's gods.
And, unless the gods of both sides go to war, both sides must stick to the ransom system.
That is, as long as one party escapes to the temple area, then as long as enough money is handed over, the other party must release the person, otherwise it is tantamount to blasphemy.
