Chapter 235: Orps

Located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, Athens is the capital of Greece and the largest city in the country, with a recorded history of more than 3,000 years, known as the 'cradle of modern civilization', and it is also the birthplace of philosophy, giving birth to famous figures such as Socrates and Plato.

However, with the development of modern civilization, the city that once radiated light gradually declined, and under several changes, the gods they believed in for generations became myths and legends, and the stories they told to their children were passed down to the all-knowing and all-powerful God who could really make them believe in repentance and prayer.

However, as the gods showed miracles and the power of the gods over Greece appeared several times, the belief in the Olympian gods was revived, and many Athenians who felt that they should regain the faith of their ancestors, after all, from the past situation, the omniscient and all-powerful God did not care about the Greeks, but the Olympian gods have always silently guarded them.

Therefore, a large number of temples were built, and many sects that had long been annihilated in history suddenly appeared, in the name of worshipping the gods, they recruited the corresponding believers and enjoyed the worship of the believers, but because of the existence of the gods, these sects were very restrained, and did not let the family destroy the worship of the gods, but based on the information of the corresponding sects in history and the deeds of the gods, they lived as they were at that time.

They actively exhorted everyone to learn from the gods, to have fun in time, to be a humanoid planter, and to contribute to the number of people in the world.

Orps is a member of the emergence, as the secret religion of ancient Greece, historically Orps has been attached to the worship of other gods and goddesses, the believers are scarce, not known to the world, when the faith of the cross religion spread throughout Greece, this sect has also been annihilated in the long river of history along with other religions.

When other sects of the gods sprung up, this sect also emerged, but because there was no relationship with other sects, the Orps had to become independent, from a hidden sect to an independent manifest sect.

Just because Orps is dedicated to the relationship between Bacchus and Izis, two gods who are not well-known among the Olympian gods, this sect has few followers in Athens, and the temple is located in a remote place, so it is basically not popular.

Alex was the founder and priest of the Orptic Cult, and he was directing the hired men to place their custom-made statues.

"Please, put the statue of the god here...... Yes, please be careful, lighter, don't break it...... Thank you. ”

Watching the worker gently put the statue up, Alex thanked him gently, and immediately received a sincere response from the other party, as if Alex was a big man, but he knew that he was nothing.

As a nimble-minded Greek, Alex realized at the dawn of the Olympian faith that this was a great opportunity, and if he could become the leader of a sect, he would not only be able to gain the worship of believers and rise in social status, but perhaps also gain the favor of the gods in a real sense, and thus become transcendent.

Originally, he wanted to worship Zeus, after all, Zeus, as the god king of the Olympian gods, is the best god in terms of fame and status, especially in Egypt, Zeus captured a large number of believers, but there are too many sects dedicated to Zeus, and he really doesn't have the confidence to snatch believers from those predecessors.

After thinking about it for a long time, he chose Orpustism, a religion that was in touch with the primitive transcendent god Chronos, who had sheltered the Greeks in the first place.

However, when he scattered his wealth to build the temple to develop believers, it was extremely difficult, and people preferred to believe in Zeus, Athena, Apollo, and other well-known powerful gods than the two unknown gods of Bacchus and Izis, so he decided to welcome the statue of Chronos.

As a god who has shown miracles and is the first person in the true sense of the Olympian gods, there are not a few believers in Chronos, but there is no sect in history that worships Chronos, and no one dares to do such a bold thing to put Chronos in the temple and put it together with the gods of his own sect.

Maybe before Chronos could shelter himself, the gods he worshipped would rain down a thunderbolt that would split him into ashes.

If it weren't for the fact that he was about to go bankrupt, and his own religion was related to Chronos, and history had put Chronos on it, and there was no punishment from the gods, he wouldn't have dared to gamble.

"O great primordial transcendent god Kronos, answer the prayers of the faithful. ”

Alex fell to his knees and muttered in a low voice, the sound of prayer echoing through the dark temple.

After a while, Alex, who did not receive the slightest response, stood up from the silent temple, in fact, he did not think that the gods would answer him, hundreds of sects in Greece, and he had not heard of any deities worshipping in the sect answering their prayers, even if it was himself, similar things had been done dozens of times, and the two gods of Bacus and Izis had never answered him.

Just as he stood up and was about to go to the bank to discuss the loan, the statue of Chronos suddenly burst out with a little light, which was small at first, and Alex, who turned around and was about to leave, did not notice it, but soon this light brightened, illuminating the dark temple and penetrating the daylight, attracting the attention of people nearby.

"God. ”

Alex let out a low cry, and then he knelt on the ground and prayed as if he had thought of something, and with the appearance of several miracles, people's acceptance of the gods became more and more high, and once many things that they did not understand were discovered, the first thing they thought about was not science, but mystery.

The idol glowed, and Kronos, the primordial transcendent god whom Alex rightfully considered great, answered his prayers.

While exclaiming, his heart was filled with great joy.

Great God, He answered me.

"Go to Sicily, O my devotees, where I have left a golden apple, which I have given you. The idol said slowly.

After saying that, the light on the statue slowly dissipated, and there was no longer a trace of abnormality, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Alex on the ground nodded frantically and thanked God loudly for the gift.

It was a few minutes before he got up from the ground and strode out.

But he didn't notice that at the moment he turned around, the corners of the enshrined god's mouth were slightly hooked, with a hint of a smile.
