Chapter 391: Hermes
Louise turned her head slightly stiffly and looked at the old gentleman beside her, who seemed to be very serious, as if she was really asking for her own opinion.
But I've joined the "Twilight Hermit Society", even if I don't agree with this purpose in my heart, do I dare to say it? That's not what death does!
She also replied with the same solemn expression:
"The Lord has never departed."
In fact, even Louise herself did not think that this sentence had any meaning, and it was just a perfunctory, after all, this sentence would exist in the holy canon of any church, and it was completely a "universal formula".
However, the old gentleman seemed to be very touched by this, and thought silently for two seconds, and then continued to walk forward, and within a moment, he quickly approached the magnificent Hall of the Giants not far away.
In this empty environment, Louise subconsciously remained silent, until she was about to walk into the hall, she suddenly remembered that this old man had not answered her question at all!
In addition, he said that the Hall of the Giants was his imagination, but Louise found that she had actually stepped into the threshold of the hall, and it was no different.
There are no doors, not even walls, the whole hall is only supported by countless towering stone pillars, seemingly boundless, as soon as you enter, a sense of ancient vicissitudes of life rushes to the face, as if time has stood still here, and history has returned to the original point.
It was clear that this was just Louise's feelings, and the old gentleman standing beside her did not feel anything like it, and the latter just looked at Louise silently, with a thoughtful expression.
Within a moment, Louise recovered from her distraction and looked back at the hall in front of her, the strange feeling she had just felt gone.
She met a group of people, presumably members of the "Dusk Hermit's Society".
However, what puzzled Louise was that these people were not the same as the group she had just seen in the outside world, and of course there were some overlaps, but there were more differences.
"Outside, the hall you see is fake, and the people are naturally fake." The old gentleman on the side answered Louise's doubts in a very timely manner.
What this means is that the people I just saw were also imaginary, and now these people are the real members of the "Dusk Hermit's Society...... Louise was more and more surprised, but there was also a fear that her heart was completely seen through.
is worthy of the "audience", and can always make so many "bells and whistles" things.
Louise has always had the most basic understanding, that is, the members of the "Dusk Hermit Society" are those high-ranking figures, so it is inevitable to speculate and imagine this...... Now her suspicions have been confirmed, and there are indeed familiar characters here, but there are also more unexpected characters.
These big people, who have different identities in the real world, and even hostile to each other, are unusually harmonious in this giant-like grand hall, they sit or stand, or gather in groups and twos to talk, looking very relaxed, as if it was just a simple dinner party.
When Louise and the old gentleman next to her walked into the hall, almost everyone's eyes turned to this side, and most of the eyes were focused on Louise, even the few members who looked at the old gentleman would soon look at Louise.
"You know, it's not a lot of new members to join us." The old gentleman suddenly spoke.
Louise was a little dazed, she was no stranger to this way of speaking and tone, it was Russell's habit of speech.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded, accompanied by a figure that appeared in front of the two, it was the "old urchin" Russell.
biququ/html/51226/ "I have a catalogue of ghosts and gods"
"You told me again!" He grumbled.
The old gentleman smiled, but did not respond, just nodded at Louise, and walked out into the crowd.
Under Louise's gaze, the members of the "Dusk Hermit Society", who were not to be underestimated, tacitly made a way for the old gentleman, and some people would come forward to talk a few words, and the old gentleman would respond cordially, as if he was the protagonist here.
"Who is he?" Louise asked.
Russell stood side by side with him and replied in a deep voice:
"He's the one who offered to invite you to join us."
"As for his name, you must be familiar with it, he is a figure who exists in ancient history, one of the leaders of the extraordinary world of mankind, the founder of the Hermes and the ancient Hermetic language, Hermes."
Hermes, the name was deafening, and to Louise's surprise, she was confident that she had never crossed paths with the angel, but why would he recommend herself?
Could it be Adam's arrangement?
Now that I know the identity of Hermes, it seems that it is not so simple to recall the conversation between the two during the "hurry" just now!
This can be regarded as a "celebrity effect" in a sense...... Thinking about it, Louise was a little distracted.
"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? You'd be amazed. Russell said with a smug look, pulling Louise's thoughts back on.
Louise bowed slightly, "Very shocking indeed. ”
"But," she said suddenly, "I don't know this legendary figure, so why did he recommend me to join the 'Dusk Hermit'?" ”
Russell clapped his hands without paying attention to the image and said:
"You're asking the right person, I want to know, and most of the members here who know who Hermes is."
"But don't forget, you and I were the first to know, and if you become prosperous one day, don't forget my old friend...... Well, and Rebecca! ”
Louise chuckled, ignoring the "old urchin" beside her, but he also revealed some news, that is, he may be considered a "rare creature" in the "Dusk Hermit" at the moment.
"Probably, every newcomer will be treated like this, right?" Louise asked herself, but didn't answer.
Noticing the seemingly unseen gaze of the crowd, Louise suddenly asked:
"What is today's gathering for? It can't be an orientation ceremony to welcome me, right? ”
Russell was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"Keep this confident attitude towards life, and you will definitely succeed."
Since Louise took the initiative to joke, she naturally wouldn't blame Russell's ridicule, she just turned sideways slightly, staring at Russell with burning eyes, as if she didn't get an answer and swore not to give up.
Sadly, Russell shrugged his shoulders and replied:
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, because I don't know."
