The prototype of the story of the river god is the story of Hermes, and the test of the river god on the woodcutter is actually the test of Hermes.

In Greek stories and legends, Hermes, one of the twelve main gods and the messenger who carried out the will of Zeus and the gods, was always blackened and not a glorious image, so Hermes also made efforts to reverse his image.

As the protector of thieves and businesswomen, Hermes himself was a thief and a businesswoman, and he encouraged thieves to be female traders, and the merchants were short of pounds and pounds, so Hermes's test of woodcutters was very different from his own real behavior.

On the surface, Hermes encouraged honest woodcutters, but in reality he encouraged clever female businessmen.

"A person can be stupid or greedy, but stupidity and greed cannot be both, because when you are stupid, you are still greedy, then you have lost the qualification to be greedy, and only smart people are qualified to be greedy."

William had just thought in his mind when he saw the river god, no, Hermes to be precise, had come out of the river, and he had a golden sword in his hand.

"William, may I ask if the sword you fell from is this golden sword? This sword has many names, such as the sword of gold, Joyeus, the sword of pleasure, the sword of the earth, it is the top part of the spear that pierced the body of Longinus when Jesus was killed, it has the power of killing gods, and if you master it, you can dominate the world, did you fall from this sword?"

Hermes, the river god, holds the golden sword in his hand, telling the splendor and utility of this sword, the most famous user of which is Charlemagne, the king of the Frankish kingdom, the emperor of the Romans, and the father of Europe.

"I'm sorry, River God, this sword isn't mine." William shook his head and denied this fact.

"Then I'll look for it again."

Hermes didn't show any expression after hearing this, he went straight into the river with a grunt and continued to touch the sword into the river, and after a while, Hermes came out of the river again, in addition to the golden sword, there was also a dazzling silver-white holy sword.

"William, did you drop this Durandal? He is the companion sword of the paladin Roland, the sharpest sword in the world, the wielder can be protected by God and angels, and at the same time its indestructible blade, an immortal blade, as long as you hold it, you will always be on the side of light and justice."

The river god briefly introduced another holy sword with a silver holy sword, and William gasped when he heard it, good guy, is this the three most well-known holy swords in European history.

"No, it's not the holy sword I dropped." William shook his head, again denying it.

The river god was not discouraged, he entered the river again after hearing this, and after a while, he found a holy sword that emitted white moonlight.

"William, is this sword you dropped King Arthur's sword, the Broken Steel Sword, the Sword of Stone, the Sword of Kings?"

Hermes was holding the sword in the stone, and the sword that had been broken had been restored to its original state at this time, as if it had just been made.

The immaculate holy sword, exuding a beautiful and charming brilliance, compared to the sword in the stone that had been broken and lost all magic in the past, this holy sword was simply perfect.

Legend has it that King Arthur pulled it out to become the king of destiny in Britain, the sword in the stone is the sword of the king, the sword of the hero, and the sword of the knight, because King Arthur did not abide by the rules of knights when he duel with others, and defeated the opponent who was unwilling to compete with the sword without martial virtues, which eventually led to the fracture of the sword in the stone, so the flawless holy sword needs a perfect master to be able to use it.

"This is my sword, but it's not my sword, my sword is just a broken sword."

The test of Hermes is the same as the old boy joining the Black Society, you must memorize the rules of the gang, the white paper fans first ask you whether you love your brother or gold, as long as you have a basic IQ, they will answer that you love your brother.

William nodded and shook his head, of course he liked gold in his heart, but he would definitely say that he loved his brother when faced with trials. If you don't love your brother, where will you get the gold?

"Well, since you're so honest, then I'll give you all three holy swords." Hermes will follow the process of the sword of gold and the sword of angels

and the sword in the stone was handed over to William, but William just shook his head, "I just want my sword in the stone back, and that's enough."

William is not a three-headed and six-armed man, even if he is given three swords, he can't use three at the same time, so it is enough to choose one of them.

The river god Hermes was silent in an instant, William's actions were beyond his expectations, and even at this time he didn't know how to deal with it, "No, as a reward for your honesty, you must take all three swords."

Hermes showed a panicked look, he wanted to stuff the three swords in his hand to William at the same time, but he was directly rejected by William, William's strength was huge, and he pushed Hermes away.

The scene was suddenly awkward.

In the face of countless people's desire but unable to get the holy sword, it was thrown to the ground at will, and Hermes showed a blank expression, since he became the river god, he has been fulfilling people's wishes, but in the face of his test, countless people have either lost everything because of greed, while some people have obtained the gold axe and silver axe he gave at the same time.

Believers who fail to pass the test of the gods will be punished by the gods, and the gods have tested their own believers, and in the face of the believers who have passed, they must give their believers a reward, which is the template that almost all world myths have, and it is also the rule of the world, the will of fate.

William's world is a fairy tale world, so when William only took away what he originally had, but refused the other two holy swords given by the gods, in a sense, it caused the river god's g.

"If I don't want to, then what will happen to you." William's attitude was extremely tough, he didn't care about the river god, nor did he care about the threat of the river god, even if he knew that this river god was Hermes, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Greek mythology.

In this land, there were many gods in the past, Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, Slavic, Norse, but after the arrival of the great Father, the rules of the whole world changed, and the first to bear the brunt were the immortal gods who stood at the top of the pyramid of this world in the past.

If you can't adapt to the rules of the new world, you can either hide in the underground other world like the Celtic gods and survive, or change your form and become a Christian angel or saint, or you will become a demon or elf, or you will usher in complete destruction.

The Greek god system has been destroyed, and William's mother, who is a Greek god, has also been demoted to a fairy, and now she has suffered the fate of being destroyed, and the more powerful the god, the more she will be excluded from this world.

Obviously nothing was done, and nothing was wrong, and the moment the world changed, the former gods were destroyed.

The river god originally described by "Golden Axe and Silver Axe" is Hermes, and his story is not only spread in Greece, Europe, and even around the world, the river god has become the basis of his existence in the new world, is his incarnation, if the story is defiled by William who does not follow the rules, then the core of the whole story will collapse, and the destruction of Hermes will come.

"You're going to be destroyed, aren't you?" William's words were questioning, but their tone was certain.
