"The Persian gods are somewhat similar to the Greek gods. It is the new god who defeats the old god and takes his place. As a result, these two god systems can always eliminate accumulated shortcomings and constantly replenish new strength. At present, the overall power of the Greek god system is at the top of the four god systems, simply because Zeus is the youngest of the four god kings. The gods of the other three god systems have always feared that once Zeus's power reaches its peak and the god kings of the other three god systems decline, Zeus will inevitably devour the other god systems blatantly, take it by force, and march towards the supreme god. ”

"You mean, Zeus wants to unify the four god systems?" Su Ye asked.

"It's not that he wants to unify, it's that after the decline of the other three god systems, Zeus must take action if he wants to break through the god king. Of course, this is just speculation on the part of us magicians. Nedern said.

"What is the opinion of the Magic Council?" Su Ye asked.

Nedern thought for a moment and said with a look of confusion: "The opinions of the masters are surprisingly unanimous, and they have come up with a concept of diversity. It is they who believe that the world has proven that the gods are not only not the future of mankind, but are limiting mankind, so that humanity must find a new way out. Divine warriors are not the way out for humans, but more like the shackles of humans. The magician is the present, you remember, only the way out for the present, but it does not mean that it is the way out for the future. Therefore, the masters believed that the human beings of the four great kingdoms should coexist peacefully, while maintaining this diversity, constantly communicating, constantly trying and making mistakes for mankind, and finding the best direction and path for each era. ”

"A master is indeed a master." Su Ye sighed softly.

"But...... I don't quite understand. Nedern looked helpless.

Su Ye muttered in his heart, if he hadn't learned a little bit of paleontology and evolution, he wouldn't have understood it.

Although this world has not perfected even the most basic taxonomy, the ideological realm of the masters has reached the limit of human beings, and some mysteries of the evolution of life have been faintly peeked into.

"Tell me what you understand." Nedern Road.

Su Ye thought that he couldn't say too much this time, so he said: "To give the simplest example, magic was born from witchcraft, it stands to reason that Egypt, the origin of witchcraft, is the country with the strongest magic, but in fact, now all magicians know that our Greek magicians are the strongest and represent the most correct direction." For example, mathematics also originated in Egypt, but geometry, a branch of mathematics, was even more brilliant in Rome and Greece, that is, in the Panhellenic region. ”

"And then?" Nedern asked.

"The Egyptians were convinced that witchcraft was a force second only to divine power, and then they went to a dead end. But the Greeks, who did not consider witchcraft to be the only force, were willing to make all kinds of attempts, and then opened up magic. Egypt firmly believed that numbers were everything, and then stagnated for many years, while the people of Panhellenic areas, on the basis of numbers, realized the greatness of geometry and further expanded mathematics. In a short period of time, what seems to us to be accidental, such as the birth of magic and geometry, if we look at it on a larger scale, we can find that many of them are inevitable. ”

"I guess what the masters mean is that any person, any collective, has limitations, can end up in a dead end, and in order to prevent all of humanity from going to a dead end, humanity must remain diverse. Human beings have to explore their way in all directions, and they have to try and make mistakes from all angles, even if it seems ridiculous, crazy, ridiculous, ignorant, or even contrary to the mainstream now. Any person or group that recognizes only one voice, only one spirit, and only one right will inevitably reach a dead end and eventually self-destruct. Therefore, the masters believe that the other three kingdoms are not enemies, but only pathfinders in different directions of humanity. It can even be said that each of us is trying and making mistakes for all mankind. ”

"I see, I see." It dawned on Nedern.

"Of course, there is another reason, cultural exchange. We all know that the offspring of close parents are very likely to have deformities, but there are very few non-close relatives. Only constant exchanges between different countries, different cultures, and different people can derive different changes. Magic, in essence, is the result of the exchange between witchcraft and philosophy. If we look back at human history, we will find that all powerful countries are not isolated and powerful, and they have all communicated with the outside world. And those closed countries will either break down barriers to communicate with the outside world, or they will fall into self-destruction. ”

"I see, I see, the wisdom of the masters is really unattainable! By the way, what are you looking for me for? ”

Nedern asked Su Ye everything.

The two were silent for a long time before Su Ye said: "I want to ask the reason for the invasion of the Persian army, it seems that you and I think the same, this is just a precursor to a large-scale god war." The battle of the gods may be about to begin. Teacher, what are your plans? ”

Nedern shrugged calmly and said, "Follow Master Plato, follow Plato's Academy, I don't know what better option there is." In other words, I believe in the master Plato more than I do in myself. What about you? ”

Su Ye glanced at Neden deeply and said, "As soon as you finished speaking, you also said that you understood the words of the masters, but you forgot it in a blink of an eye. It's our instinct to cling to our masters, but we also have to find our own direction and maintain diversity. More than one group needs to maintain diversity, but we as individuals also need to get used to looking at things from different perspectives and maintaining diversity in all aspects. ”

Nedern was silent for a long time, and said, "Very good, the topic of the next grass lecture has been found." ”

Su Ye couldn't help but give Nidern a blank look.

Get the result, say goodbye to Nedern, and go out.

Walking to the door, Nedern's voice came from behind him.

"I ...... Maybe you've lost something, but you haven't. The future of the magicians and the Greeks depends on you. ”

Su Ye paused slightly and walked away.

On this day, Su Ye did not go to the workshop, but took a carriage home, thinking about the changes in the future, thinking about the battle of the gods, and thinking about how he was a small person and how to achieve a legend in the chaotic world.

Once the world is chaotic, if you only pursue survival, you will inevitably not be able to survive.

Only by pursuing something higher can we survive better.

Legendary, is the lowest goal.

The carriage stopped, Su Ye got out of the car, and saw Gorro, the patriarch of the Enka family, standing at the door with a smile.

"Your Excellency Su Ye."

Su Ye nodded and entered the courtyard with Gorro.

"Got a nice hero item again?" Su Ye asked absentmindedly.

"Your Excellency, it's not a hero item, it's a god item."

"Oh?" Su Ye looked up at Gorro.

"The arrival of the two kings of Persia is known to the whole world. Some nobles or big businessmen panicked and began to sell collectibles on a large scale, and tomorrow night, the Beifeng family will hold a large-scale aristocratic fair, which is far larger than the previous few fairs we have visited. ”

"What about the god items?"

"The North Wind family has already released rumors that a noble family who does not want to reveal their lives wants to move to the East Coast and is ready to sell a statue, the blood statue of the old gods."

Su Ye's eyes widened, and then he immediately retracted, nodded, and said, "If it's really a divine blood statue, it's a good thing." How much is the valuation? ”

"Look at the status of the old gods. If it is an ordinary statue of the old god, the value is about 1 million golden eagles. If it is a god blood statue of the old god at the main god level, it may be worth more than 2 million golden eagles. If it's a god-king level, then it's impossible to say. The most expensive god blood statue in history, with an auction price of more than 2 million gold eagles, is the god blood statue of the great god cutter Kronos, of course, it is still broken. ”

"Godcutter? It's a pretty straightforward nickname. I'll definitely go tomorrow, even if I don't buy it, and I'll see the legendary statue of the blood of the gods. Are there any other good collections? ”

"I don't know yet, but many nobles and big businessmen are bound to sell a lot of their collections at low prices, so you'd better prepare some more golden eagles."

"How much is appropriate?" Su Ye asked.

"At least 3 million Golden Eagles."

"Oh, then you don't have to prepare." Su Ye Dao.

Gorro looked dumbfounded.

"But just in case of an accident, I'll contact Nedel first and ask him to prepare a batch of cash for me." Su Ye said as he sent a magic letter to Nadel.

After a long time, Gorro said: "I will prepare for tomorrow's trip now, if you need anything, you can tell me in advance." In addition, unlike ordinary trade fairs, this kind of temporary large-scale sale trade fair has a "blanket" sale, that is, a certain price is pointed out, and all the seller's items are bought in one go. If you meet a nobleman who is in a hurry to make a move, you will make a lot of money, but if you meet a profiteer, you should be more careful. ”

"And this way? Then I'll prepare some more Golden Eagles. Su Ye said.

"You...... The wealth is unbelievable. Gorro complimented enviously.

The next day, Su Ye studied the important courses of Plato's Academy in the morning, learned magic creation in the afternoon, and arrived at Gorro's house in Hill's carriage in the evening, got into Gorro's carriage, and went directly to the North Wind family's trade fair site.

As usual, Su Ye used a magic mask, with deep eye sockets, a high hooked nose, and a black beard on his chin that hung down to his chest, typical of a Persian, but still in Greek attire.

"Su ...... Lord Aladdin, this fair attracted not only the nobles of Athens, but also many nobles and their agents from Northern Europe, Persia and Egypt. Not surprisingly, the major forces are searching for prey like hungry wolves. Gorro said.

"Are they bullish on Persia or Greece?" Su Ye asked.

"Most of us are bullish on Persia, but after all, our gods are more powerful, so the final result should be a victory for Persia on earth, but a victory for Greece in heaven. Even so, however, most people believe that Greece will be in for decades of depression. ”

Su Ye nodded, these people's eyes are indeed old and spicy, at the end of the Greco-Persian War, although Persia was driven away by the Greeks, but the Greek vitality was greatly damaged, and then the infighting between Sparta and Athens became the last straw that crushed the camel, and finally Greece completely decayed, and was picked up by Macedonia, which achieved the miracle of Alexander the Great.

However, the world is going in a different direction, and even if Greece is temporarily defeated and its vitality is greatly damaged, it will not break out into large-scale infighting.

As for the future direction of Greece, it is completely unpredictable whether Alexander will become king, or Hercules will be crowned god, or Rome will annex Greece.

Because, the fate of mankind is in the hands of the gods.

"No matter what, find an opportunity to have a good relationship with the bigwigs, what Alexander, what Hercules, what Roman Big Three, and make friends with all of them."

Eventually, the carriage stopped.

After getting out of the carriage, Su Ye was stunned.

The gladiatorial arena of Athens.

Where I once fought.
