Chapter 1473 Caesar
After the old priest left, Hao Ren nodded to Lily and others, then took out a signal amplifying device from the portable space, and placed the badge on the receiving end of the amplifying device: In this way, from Olympus The encrypted signal can be broadcast directly, and at the same time, he can even use the limited communication bandwidth of the badge to slightly sense the situation on Mount Olympus.
The first few calls were met with silence and no response.
Lily's ears twitched: "Isn't Apollo at home?"
Hesiana thought about it seriously: "Maybe I can charge my phone."
Hao Ren: "...Don't make trouble, you two."
Since the regular call didn't work, Hao Ren had no choice but to activate the cheating mode: he simply cracked the functional limitations of the badge, simply used it as a signal transmission device, and then began to listen to the movement on the other end of the communication channel.
At first, there was only a burst of meaningless interference clutter from the signal amplifier, but as Hao Ren continued to fine-tune the frequency of the equipment, other vague sounds seemed to appear in the clutter, and gradually there were some human voices and whistling. Sound comes from the device.
Hao Ren was encouraged and strengthened the signal filtering and amplification again according to the previous fine-tuning direction. Finally, a clear shout suddenly sounded: "...Ah! I'm bleeding all over the floor!"
Then there was no movement.
The room was very quiet for a moment, and the four people looked at each other awkwardly, and the most embarrassed one among them was obviously Hasselblad - although there was no expression on his paralyzed face. Lily glanced sideways at the old hunter: "What's going on?"
"...'I' seems to have just killed Apollo," Hasselblad said in a very strange tone, "Well, at least now we can confirm the battle situation on Mount Olympus - the historical 'I' has led the army If we break through the rear defense line of Olympus, the entire Olympus system will almost be doomed."
Hao Ren finally couldn't help but jumped up: "Why did you say you were so active back then? You couldn't steal a house at any time, but you did it now!"
Hasselblad was particularly innocent: "...Isn't this my duty back then, and more than two thousand years ago, how could I have known that one day I would need those guys who have always been regarded as 'prey' by demon hunters."
"Landlord, should we go to other temples to inquire?" Lily tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve, "Anyway, not everyone on Mount Olympus is dead yet, so there must be someone who will answer the phone... "
"Just asking," Hao Ren sighed, "Hasselblad's troops leading the way through Olympus's backdoor defense means that the stalemate phase of the Greek God War has ended. At this time, Mount Olympus has been beaten into a pot of porridge. You Do you think those Greek gods are so lenient that they can still pay attention to the signals sent from the human world at this juncture? They can't even save their lives."
Hesiana curled her lips: "Tsk, it turns out that relying on others is unreliable. We still have to find it ourselves."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, but he felt quite regretful. In fact, it stands to reason that after arriving in the territory of the gods in the mythical age, the best way is to ask the local "gods" about Vivian's whereabouts. No matter whether they are involved with Vivian or being involved with Vivian, at least they have continued to do so. Paying attention to the movement of that incredible countess, for Hao Ren who had no clue where to go, those "gods" were the best source of information, and the same was true for the advice Raven 12345 gave him before setting off. .
It's just that there is a saying that the plan cannot keep up with the changes - who knew that the backtracking node around the first year of AD would be stuck at such a juncture. This happened to be the moment when Mount Olympus was penetrated by the demon hunter, even if it was a few years ago. When the Olympus family had been in a stalemate with the witchers for ten years and the situation was getting worse and worse, they were still paying attention to Vivian's movements, but at this moment they really couldn't count on it.
Hao Ren and his party arrived at the right time, and when they came in, they heard the angry words of Apollo, the God of the Sun, "I'm bleeding all over the ground"...
After coming out of the room, Hao Ren first saw the old priest with a nervous look on his face. The old man seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When he saw several "gods" appear, he immediately walked over in small steps. : "Powerful gods, did you get the answer you wanted? Did the great Sun God also give me an edict?"
Hao Ren was too embarrassed to tell the other party that the sun god he admired had just died, so he just said casually: "We have finished asking, but if Apollo didn't give you anything, the Kingdom of God has been busy recently, and I probably don't have time to pay attention to the human world these days. "
The old priest lowered his head in awe: "The gods must be busy organizing the order of heaven and earth."
Hao Ren sighed, thinking that he was just trying to put order in order, and the entire clan was busy being wiped out.
Lily glanced at the old man wearing a priest's robe. From the wrinkles on his face that could not be smoothed, it was not difficult to see how confused this old man was who had lost his "godly favor" for decades. Although Alien gods are never kind people, but for the priests who devote their entire lives to worshiping the gods, the activities surrounding the gods are their entire life.
Lily thought about the angry "I'm bleeding all over the ground" voice before, and finally couldn't help but said: "What about that, old man, have you ever considered changing your career?"
The old priest didn't understand at once: "Huh?"
"It's okay, she's joking," Hao Ren waved his hand hurriedly, dragging Lily out and walking out, "Then we won't disturb you, you can go about your business - remember not to tell anything about what happened here today. anyone."
When passing through the front of the temple, Hao Ren looked back at the majestic sculpture of the sun god Apollo.
Ordinary humans could not observe it, but Hao Ren could tell that the "spiritual light" surrounding the statue was gradually dissipating. The stone statue that once contained a trace of Apollo's power was rapidly declining, turning into a brick like the surrounding bricks again. Stone is indistinguishable from stone to stone.
"Landlord, why didn't you let me continue talking just now?" After leaving the temple, Lily finally couldn't hold back and spoke, "Those false gods are dead, what are these priests and monks going to do if they don't change careers quickly?"
Hao Ren glanced at this bitch who was sometimes extremely shrewd, but sometimes extremely thoughtless: "It is precisely because the gods disappeared one after another that the priest class ushered in the last wave of glory in history - to For themselves, this may be their first real moment of glory.”
Lily didn't even think about it: "Why?"
"Because no one cares anymore, you can talk nonsense, and you can take things that originally belonged to the master as your own," Hesiana shrugged, "When the 'gods' are all around, the priest No matter how high your class status is, you are still the tools and slaves of those alien gods. Back then, Laocondo of Troy was a good man, but he was killed by the gods just because he said the wrong thing - but it is different when the gods are dead. Well, the end of the mythical age is great news for human priests. Before the truth about the 'fall of the gods' was exposed, they were able to deceive and kidnap us for more than 1,800 years."
Lily scratched her hair: "Oh, it sounds reasonable."
"Did you really not think of it or are you too lazy to think about it?" Hao Ren complained, "Have you just eaten up all the skills you gained after graduating from Peking University four times?"
Lily put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "Nonsense, why should I use my brain to follow you guys who just think about things when they have nothing to do?"
Hao Ren: "..."
This is the first time that the Husky girl has admitted this with confidence...
"Hao Ren, what are you going to do next?" Hasselblad also had no idea how to deal with Lily, the theoretical predecessor of the demon hunter. To avoid embarrassment, he directly changed the subject, "We are aimlessly walking around the whole place like this. It’s not a good idea for Rome to search for Vivian’s whereabouts, especially since Hesiana can’t provide any useful information.”
Hao Ren pinched his eyebrows with his fingers. In fact, he had even thought about going to Mount Olympus to inquire about the situation, not only to find out the whereabouts of Vivian, but also to find the Hesperus of this era— -The "Twilight Goddess" is undoubtedly a great help for him to continue to advance towards the mythical age. But the intelligence collected in the Temple of Apollo made him give up this idea: the demon hunters broke through the last line of defense in Olympus. For decades before, they had only fought with Zeus at the foot of Mount Olympus. The army is fighting, but at this moment, the battle has entered the final and craziest harvesting stage. Zeus's "divine court" is full of red-eyed demon hunters and ancient Greek "gods". It is no longer a suitable place. The place is adventurous.
He is very confident in his own strength, but confidence is not reckless. Without being able to call Nolan or seek other external help, it is not a good thing to rashly get involved in the war between the Demon Hunter Legion and the Greek Gods - —The reorganized Crusaders are not the hunting groups of 1400!
Although there should be a Hasselblad leading the team on Mount Olympus at the moment. It would be a strange idea to let the Hasselblad next to you to switch the package, but it was surrounded by thousands of troops, and the risk of trying to take the wrong direction was still too high. Yes, at least it is not proportional to the return.
Hao Ren was weighing the situation in his mind, but suddenly a burst of noise from the street interrupted his thinking.
Countless citizens were seen pouring onto the streets, and Roman soldiers wearing gorgeous armors and capes also ran along both sides of the street. Cheers came from the distance, and it sounded like some big shot had appeared and was welcomed by the people.
Among the crowd, Hao Ren heard a name:
"Caesar! The great Gaius Julius Caesar!"
At the end of the long street, a gorgeous carriage decorated with garlands and gold leaves appeared. The carriage was covered with a thick red velvet carpet and surrounded by a fence painted with gods, but it had no roof. The leader in the carriage can therefore stand up directly and accept the worship of all people.
Gaius Julius Caesar, the famous Roman ruler, was standing on a carriage. He was flanked by four fully armed loyal guards. He himself was wearing a richly decorated and gorgeous armor. He was waving to the surroundings amid cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Hao Ren saw this scene.
He suddenly realized that in this era, it was not only the gods on Mount Olympus who were dealing with Vivian, but also the person in front of him——
It is said that Caesar was kicked into the moat by Vivian.
