Chapter 353: Fighting Alone
In front of the golden temple is a square, although according to Xiao Lei's eyes, although this square is large in terms of area, it may not exceed the square in front of St. Paul's Church in the Vatican. But in terms of momentum, it is a little more dignified!
As the majestic voice fell, a loud trumpet was heard in the distance:
Woo
The voice seemed to be a summons, falling on the ears of the person, as if the whole soul was about to move!
"It's a clarion call for the heart. The oracle whispered, "This is the ceremony of the temple to receive us. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange voice in the distance......
It was as if the sound of metal trampling on the floor, steely, indifferent, and a little murderous. The click and click click, this sound is not just one, but a large one, but it is very neat!
From both sides of the temple, two teams of figures quickly ran out, walking towards Xiao Lei and the divine envoy, walking neatly and quickly.
When he got closer, Xiao Lei saw the appearance of these people clearly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I saw two groups of figures approaching, each of them tall, dressed in bright and bright armor, exuding a cold metallic luster, holding spears like ancient warriors in their hands, and each shield was carved with a six-pointed star pattern.
The armor on his body is the kind of full-body, enveloping everyone from head to toe, even with a mask on his face. The palms of the hands are also covered with metal finger covers. Xiao Lei couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Because, he didn't feel the slightest anger from these people.
These samurai, each with an olive leaf pattern carved on their cuirasse, waited for them to come to them. Xiao Lei saw clearly a samurai in front of him......
To Thunder's surprise, all the samurai looked through the gaps in their visors...... Inside the mask, there is actually a hollow!
What does this mean?
What kind of samurai is this? It's just two teams of walking armor!
The Divine Envoy smiled slightly, and said, "This is the 'Olive Leaf Warriors' who guard the inner city and temple of the Protoss, they are not living beings, but armored warriors made of magic...... Well, or rather, a metal golem, like a puppet. ”
Xiao Lei nodded. He withdrew his curious gaze, but glanced at the envoy meaningfully: "You said you want to get the puppet in my land." Do you still want to get the spell to refine that puppet, is it to improve this 'Olive Leaf Warrior' for your Protoss?"
The divine envoy smiled slightly, walked side by side with Xiao Lei towards the temple, and said in a low voice: "The population of the Protoss is already very sparse, and it is impossible for us to let too many people act as warriors, and using magic to create some armored warriors has become the only choice." But our magic makes the armor of the samurai. But it's nowhere near as powerful as that puppet of yours. The power of that puppet of yours is even more amazing than that of the Giants, if you can make that kind of puppet in batches......"
"Stop dreaming. Xiao Lei pouted: "That puppet of mine is not something you can make if you want to." After a pause, he glanced at the two teams of armored warriors beside him, and suddenly smiled: "How can these armored warriors be controlled?"
"They've been created with a natural mission, to protect this place. This is made with a magic sigil. Armored samurai possess a formidable body and strength. Their bodies, that is, these armors. All are made of a special metal. ”
"I'm afraid they still have some magic skills, right?" Xiao Lei narrowed his eyes: "I can feel the mana fluctuations on their bodies." ”
"It's just a simple defensive magic. The divine envoy knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from Xiao Lei's eyes, and he also knew that he still needed Xiao Lei's help in his affairs, so he did not hide it: "Their shields." There are also patterns on the chest, which are all simple magic arrays, which can replenish their magic power at any time, otherwise, if they lose their magic power, the armored warrior will become a pile of scrap metal. And this magic array has a little other use, which is to increase their agility and speed, and when attacked, a low-level defensive magic can pop up on their body. ”
Xiao Lei sighed in praise and sighed, "Good thing." You Protoss are very good at this. He shook his head slowly, but there was a bit of greed in his eyes.
If the master gets a few of these armored warriors at home, it will be much more beautiful...... It's much more windy than raising a watchdog!
This kind of thing doesn't need to eat or drink, doesn't need to be paid, doesn't sleep, it's just a natural bodyguard!
As for the fact that they require mana power...... Damn, with a few peerless masters in the family, does the master still lack mana?
Seeing Xiao Lei's gaze, the divine envoy coldly interrupted his vision: "You don't have to move their minds. This kind of armored warrior will only obey the command of the 'Soul Horn' you just heard. However, the spiritual horn is an unpassed secret of our gods, and it is absolutely impossible to teach it to outsiders. ”
After a pause, she smiled and said, "Don't you really consider giving me that metal golem of yours? I can give you a hundred 10,000-year-old ice crystals in exchange...... The effect of the 10,000-year-old ice crystals is similar to the white stone you see in the city, but at least a hundred times stronger. ”
Hum...... Xiao Lei sneered in his heart. Others don't know how powerful that puppet is, but Xiao Lei himself has experienced it himself!
That puppet, once it can recover its full strength, is comparable to a supreme master!
Although it seems that they have lost their mana now, it seems that these Olympian gods are very unique in the technology of magic puppets, and maybe if they are handed over, they can really restore the full strength of that puppet!
How could Xiao Lei agree to this kind of thing?
Seeing that Xiao Lei didn't speak, the divine envoy probably misunderstood Xiao Lei's thoughts, thinking that he had already been tempted. He quickly added: "I have seen the place where you live, I can tell you...... Those 100,000-year-old ice crystals also have some special functions...... As long as you use those 100,000-year-old ice crystals to arrange a magic array and put it in your home, it will be enough to make the Zhuang Yuan where you live. Completely transformed! It can be turned into a small, similar place to our god city! In the event of an attack, it has the functions of magic recovery and magic defense!"
To be honest, Xiao Lei is quite tempted.
But on second thought...... I didn't plan to fight anyone! For no reason, how could that Zhuang Yuan of my own be attacked? Besides, even if he was attacked, would he still shrink into the magic array and be beaten with a few top masters in his family?
Thinking about it this way, the other party's quid pro quo is of little use to oneself.
Shake your head. Indicates a rejection. The oracle sighed and stopped talking.
At last, the steps of the temple were reached. Xiao Leidi's first impression was that he couldn't help but admire this temple made of pure gold!
This is truly a great masterpiece!
The temple made of pure gold, looking at it from a distance, is already a golden wall, and when you get closer, you can see it, the temple that is dozens of meters high. And the towering columns, all faintly exuding a sense of historical precipitation, and under the golden light, dotted with colorful gems, the largest of which was the size of a washbasin, and the smallest was only the size of a fingernail.
These gems, in the hundreds, are dotted on the pillars or ceilings of the temples. It seems to be chaotic, but the position that seems to be faintly arranged is somewhat mysterious, and it seems to be faintly located into a strange picture......
Xiao Lei was stunned for a few seconds. Then he suddenly came to his senses...... Isn't this pattern the starry sky of a summer night?
Yes, it's the starry sky!
That spoon is the Big Dipper, and the rest of the world, Xiao Lei has even found the distribution of the famous twelve constellations. Those glittering gems contained some kind of mana fluctuations, and the entire hall, under the golden background, shimmered with all kinds of gemstone light. Originally, so many strange lights were intertwined, which would inevitably make people feel dizzy, but under this kind of light, Xiao Lei felt a strange feeling...... It's as if so many brilliant colors are intertwined, but they form a delicate balance!
The gold is too vulgar, the red is too bad, the blue is too cold, the black is too dark, but so many colors are intertwined, but people can't give birth to these feelings at all, I just feel that the brilliance here is really cleverly matched, and in the hall, a strange aura has been formed!
The temple was divided into two tiers, and the two teams of armored warriors just escorted the two to the entrance of the main hall and stopped, and Xiao Lei and the divine envoy walked into the main hall.
The outer layer of this temple is extremely empty, there are no walls on all sides, only rows of towering giant columns, and inside the hall, there are various statues from mythological times!
Apollo, the sun god who drove the flaming chariot, Artemis the moon god who held a half-moon longbow in his hand, Poseidon who held a trident..."
Xiao Lei recognized that these were the twelve main gods of the legendary Olympian gods!
But to Xiao Lei's surprise, there are not twelve statues here. There are only seven of them!
The most surprising thing for Xiao Lei was that the two people he was most familiar with were missing.
One is naturally famous, the father god of the Olympian gods, the supreme Zeus.
And the other one is the famous goddess of wisdom, Athena.
As for what else is missing, because Xiao Lei is not too familiar with the twelve main gods, he can't see it very much, but by virtue of the numbers, he can see that there are a few fewer of these twelve main gods.
The divine envoy next to her, since she walked into the temple, she has spoken again, she seems to have become very serious, and her gestures are a little deliberately restrained, and she lowers her head and walks slowly.
On the outer floor of the main hall, walking past the statues, there was a huge sculpture in the shape of a bowl, and a flame was burning inside. Xiao Lei saw the strangeness of this flame, obviously, this was a magic flame, and when he got closer, he didn't even feel the slightest heat, but faintly exuded a trace of cold.
Behind the flames, on top of a staircase, was the inner layer of the temple, which seemed to be a slightly smaller temple.
The messenger stopped. Standing in front of the flames, he said something slowly, but it was not a language that Xiao Lei could understand.
Immediately, there was a bang. The raging flame in front of him suddenly rose, and a humanoid face outline appeared in the flames, and a pair of sharp eyes glanced at Xiao Lei and the two of them a few times, and then, a majestic voice came out of his mouth.
"Phoenix, you're finally back. ”
Xiao Lei understood this sentence. But he frowned slightly. Because he didn't seem to hear it in his ears. Obviously, the other party did not speak the language that Xiao Lei understood, but when he heard this unfamiliar language, he naturally understood what the other party meant.
It's like having an all-purpose translator in my heart.
Obviously. It's a consciousness exchange spell.
"Great Lord Hermes. The oracle next to him lowered his head: "I have been commanded to bring hope to the world." Then, she pointed at Xiao Lei: "This is a messenger from the east." A powerful magician in the East, a powerful warrior, Mr. Lei. ”
Immediately, the eyes in the flames stared at Xiao Lei, and Xiao Lei felt a sense of comfort in his heart, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Then the face in the flames seemed to show a shallow smile with deep meaning.
"A messenger from the East. Powerful magic mage, warrior, Mr. Ray. Welcome to Mount Olympia. His voice was long and low, as if he was singing a local accent, and then his voice slowed down: "I don't know what your arrival has brought us?" Xiao Lei frowned slightly and glanced at the earth envoy beside him.
The oracle immediately spoke, "This is the current ruler of Mount Olympia, the most faithful servant of Zeus the Father. One of the twelve main gods, Lord Hermes. ”
Xiao Lei raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Although he is very familiar with the complex system of Greek mythology. But for this Hermes, Xiao Lei still knows a little bit.
The most famous gods in Greek mythology are naturally the most powerful twelve main gods.
In addition to the father god Zeus and the queen of heaven, Hera, the other main gods basically have their own realms in charge.
For example, the sun god and the moon god, as the name suggests, are complex to govern the sun and the moon.
The god of war is naturally the god of war.
The others, the gods of the sea and the gods of the underworld, can also tell what they do by name.
And among the twelve main gods, the most special is the Hermes in front of him.
His name is: Messenger of God.
In other words, it is the only one who does not have his own fixed master god who is in charge of the realm. This is undoubtedly a guy who deserves to be savored carefully.
To be more specific, this guy is Zeus's descendant, Zeus's closest assistant. He has no specific responsibilities and is in charge of any immediate field. But it was for Zeus.
For example, if we look at the distribution of the rights of enterprises and companies in modern society. Among the twelve main gods, Zeus is naturally the big boss.
And the other sun gods, moon gods, and the like, are like the experiences of various departments.
And this Hermes, although he is not in charge of any department, is like a personal assistant to a big boss, a personal secretary and other positions.
To put it mildly, the other main gods are like ministers under the emperor. And this Hermes was the eunuch next to the emperor......
"Great Lord Hermes. It was still the divine envoy beside Xiao Lei who spoke: "I brought news from the world...... Now, the monks of the East are at war with the Vatican. And not long ago, several powerful Oriental monks fought a great battle with the believers of the cross in the Vatican, and the evil angels had already killed several in the battle. Among those involved in that battle was this Mr. Lei. ”
Immediately, the oracle suddenly took out a small crystal ball from his sleeve and held it in both hands.
A ball of light immediately radiated from the crystal ball, and as if it were a projection function of a movie, a picture appeared in mid-air in front of him. On the screen, the city wall is destroyed, and behind the ruins, there is a crowd of people who look a little panicked.
This is exactly the scene after Xiao Lei's three people made a big fuss in the Vatican!
Hermes's gaze spun from the projection, then closed. He seemed to be thinking about something. Then he opened his eyes. The expression on the face in the flames seemed to be a little complicated: "Phoenix, this is important news, and it is a pleasant good news that you have brought to the ground. Now, you carry such news. What do you want to do with this emissary from the East?"
Divine Messenger, Phoenix, this mysterious woman suddenly raised her head, this time her gaze did not dodge, but directly met Hermes's eyes, and then she made a cold voice, this voice was not loud, but it seemed to resound throughout the temple: "Lord Hermes, I request that the six-pointed star meeting be convened again immediately." and gather together the heads of the tribes, and awaken the Great Father! The moment we have been waiting for for a thousand years has come!"
Rumble!
After saying this, the flames suddenly tumbled, the flames flew, and the face in the flames became as if they were majestic, and said in a deep voice: "Phoenix, convene a meeting of the six-pointed stars." It's not up to you to decide. Please think about your identity, you are just a little messenger. ”
Immediately, in the midst of the flames, a trace of blue flames suddenly shot out, like a spirit snake, shooting towards the divine envoy, the flame was blue, with a somewhat strange appearance. The oracle didn't seem to have much to dodge, and her eyes remained on Hermes as the flame came in front of her. But he didn't dodge, just stood and moved, but suddenly a soft light radiated from his body. As soon as the flame touched the light on her, it immediately faded. With a snort, the flame went out, and the momentum of extinguishing even reflected towards Hermes. "Hmph......" Hermes seemed to sneer, and the flames rushed again, but this time he didn't do anything to the oracle again, just said slowly: "Phoenix, you have come back from the world...... Do you already have such great strength? Perhaps, with such great strength, you can already ignore the majesty of the Lord God?"
"Great Lord Hermes. The divine envoy's tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't mean to offend the Lord God, but my request is not excessive." Or do you think that you alone can take the place of all the main gods of the earth?"
"Woo......" There was a sound of anger in the flames. Then, this angry roar turned into an unwilling word.
"As you wish, Phoenix, the six-pointed star meeting will be held tonight...... You can bring this friend of your East with you. ”
Then, the flames were extinguished with a thud, and calm returned to the hall.
"Alright. Phoenix, the divine envoy, suddenly laughed, "We can go out first." Tonight is the main event. ”
Xiao Lei had been standing aside and watching coldly, and only then did he speak: "This Hermes, doesn't he want to wake up your father Zeus, and he doesn't want to return to the world?"
...... Yes. Phoenix smiled, her laughter a little helpless.
Turning back with Xiao Lei and walking outside the main hall, Xiao Lei looked at the statues of the gods on both sides, and suddenly smiled: "What is that six-pointed star meeting of yours?"
"It's the highest meeting. Phoenix stood on the steps of the temple, looking at the bright moon and the scorching sun in the sky" The Olympian gods, the twelve main gods, in the era of the Great War, suffered huge losses, and only seven main gods were left who retreated to this world. And the great God Zeus fell into a deep sleep again, so now we have only six main gods still presiding. The six-pointed star meeting is to invite the six main gods to discuss some important matters together. At the same time, the patriarchs of the Giants, Centaurs, and Elves will also participate. ”
When she said this, she glanced at Xiao Lei: "Mr. Lei, I need your help." Especially tonight. ”
Xiao Lei touched his nose: "What can I help you with?"
"That's enough. Phoenix smiled, "All I need now is force." Here, you are an outsider, and the only help you can give me is force!"
Xiao Lei's heart suddenly moved: "I really want to ask, how many of the six main gods who are still in charge of the matter are those who support you, and how many are against you?"
Silent......
It was only after a while that the oracle uttered something that made Little Ray almost jump.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ray. Phoenix said, "The six main gods are now all on the side of Hermes! Even the three patriarchs of the servants are not in favor of awakening the father Zeus." Her laughter was calm: "In other words, I have been alone. ”
......" Xiao Lei stared at him, thought for a long time, and realized that he only had two words to express his current mood.
My day!
