Chapter 636: Sanctuary!

Athens is the capital of Greece and the largest city in Greece, a veritable international metropolis.

As one of the birthplaces of the world's five major civilizations, Greece has a very long history, is known as the cradle of Western civilization, and has an extremely important position in the civilization system.

As the capital of Greece, the historical significance of Athens is even more extraordinary. I don’t know how many heroic epics, myths and legends are closely related to this city.

The most famous is the origin of Athens. It is said that the original Athens was built by a Phoenician. After the establishment of this destined extraordinary city, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Poseidon, the master of the sea, both hoped to become this city. master of the city.

As a result, the two main gods fought and invited Zeus, the king of the gods, to make a judgment. In the end, the god king decided who could provide the most useful things for mankind, and whoever was qualified to become the master of the city, and the city would be named after him .

The Poseidon hit the ground with his trident, and a strong war horse came out with the waves, symbolizing war and power, the sea and kingship.

The goddess planted an olive tree, and the crisp olive branches were full of life, and quickly bore numerous fruits, symbolizing peace and prosperity, which attracted enthusiastic support from everyone.

In this regard, the goddess of wisdom, chastity, justice, and bravery became the protector of this city, and this city was also named after the goddess, and was embraced by the goddess forever.

The Athenians built an extremely majestic Acropolis fortress in the center of the city, and built the Parthenon Temple in the fortress to worship the goddess. It is not only a military town, but also a religious holy place.

Today, the Acropolis and the Parthenon have become the symbols of Athens, the pillar of faith and spiritual sustenance of all Athenians, and are even more important than the Temple of Zeus built on the Acropolis.

This seems to coincide with the prophecy of Uranus in Greek mythology. The heavenly father Zeus is destined to be overthrown by his own heirs, ending the rule of the third generation of god kings. The girl born in front of the heavenly father will eventually replace Her father, becoming the new God King, ushered in a more glorious era.

...

Will the prophecy come true, and when?

unknown.

Luo Ning didn't care either. He left the branch office that he had only visited once, stepped into the noisy city streets, and felt the long-lost ordinary atmosphere among the busy traffic and pedestrians.

Compared with the fairy forest like a paradise, Luo Ning prefers this kind of modern city, but he doesn't know how long it can last.

The twelve signs of the zodiac are about to open, and the life and death of Greek gods and Roman gods is about to explode, but people in the city don't realize it at all, and continue to live peacefully.

Didn't the Greek gods evacuate the people?

Do you not care about the life and death of everyone, or do you think this will not affect them?

The latter is more likely. After all, people are the source of faith, and faith is the property and food of gods.

Whether it is a Greek god or a Roman god, there is no reason to destroy their property, and the guardian organization has not even conducted experiments on ancient gods here.

It's just how they are sure that they won't affect the people, so what kind of existence are the zodiac signs?

These Ronin are unknown.

There is no way, his position is very embarrassing, he is neither a reinforcement of the Roman gods nor an ally of the Greek gods, but an outsider who forces his way in based on his strength and wants to get a piece of the pie, or even catch him all.

Regardless of the Roman gods or the Greek gods, they don't have a good impression of him, and naturally they will not disclose specific information about the zodiac signs to him. It means to set up a strong enemy to compete.

Therefore, apart from the information provided by the girl before, Luo Ning knew nothing about the zodiac signs, that is to say, he was a bold man, so no one else would dare to take such a risk.

Although the information on the zodiac signs was limited, Luo Ning didn't care. He just walked around the city and waited for the "guide" to lead the way.

The Guardian organization had a lot of talk with him, just trying to pull him into this vortex,

It is naturally impossible for him to miss the event now.

Sure enough, within a few steps, Luo Ning bumped into an unfamiliar acquaintance.

It was a bright and charming girl, her pink cheeks were like peach blossoms, her golden curly hair shone brightly in the sun, her eyes seemed to contain the surge of azure sea water, inadvertently revealing all kinds of amorous feelings.

It's a pity that this stunning and glamorous mortal has no chance to see it, and it is only reflected in Luo Ning's eyes.

Unable to tell the truth from the false, she stepped in front of Luo Ning, her incomparable beauty revealed unparalleled confidence, while maintaining the shyness and reservedness of a girl, she said softly and with a smile: "Welcome to Athens, Your Excellency Luo Ning!"

Luo Ning's expression was calm, and he didn't take this rare beauty in his eyes at all: "You guys are aboveboard."

The girl seemed to be referring to something, but the girl didn't care, and said with a light smile: "This is our land, our city, naturally it is aboveboard!"

"You say yes."

Luo Ning didn't get too entangled in this unimportant matter, and asked directly: "Where are the zodiac signs?"

"Please follow me!"

The girl smiled happily, turned and left, and disappeared into the air.

Luo Ning didn't care, he stepped up to follow, and disappeared with her.

...

The spiritual world is connected, overlapped, and mirrored with reality, and it is a chaotic, magical, and weird place.

Some spiritual worlds mirror reality, and what is true in reality, what is in the spiritual world is like the world reflected in a mirror.

Some spiritual worlds are based on reality and changed to produce all kinds of weirdness, danger, and horror.

Some spiritual worlds are separated from reality and become a completely different world, even with a difference in time dimension.

At this moment, Luo Ning came to such a spiritual world. This spiritual world is connected to the real Athens, but there is no trace of a modern city. There is only a huge city that is extremely majestic and cannot be built by manpower.

Athens!

Athens in the Golden Age!

In the majestic and ancient giant city, there is also a lot of people and traffic, but there are no traces of modern civilization. People are all wearing ancient Greek clothes, just like the girl beside Luo Ning.

She also explained aloud at the right time: "Compared to the materialistic modern civilization, the beliefs of ancient civilizations are purer."

Luo Ning glanced at her and said, "The candlelight at night is naturally more eye-catching."

"hehe."

The girl smiled, noncommittal: "During the ancient Roman period, gods and men lived together, and the extraordinary coexisted, creating an extremely brilliant civilization. Unfortunately, it was still destroyed by the Greek gods. Otherwise, this ancient city of Athens must be even more brilliant and gorgeous at this moment. Enter a true golden age."

Luo Ning was unmoved: "I think grasping the present is more meaningful than remembering the past."

"I think so."

The girl naturally understood the meaning of Luo Ning's words, and said with a light smile, "Please follow me!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out without any intention of entering the city.

Obviously, the Zodiac is not in this ancient city of Athens.

Luo Ning didn't ask any further questions, and followed the girl silently.

The two left the ancient city of Athens, marched on the wilderness outside the city, and soon came to a majestic mountain.

It is an extremely majestic, no, majestic mountain that is not enough to describe. The towering peaks go straight into the sky, disappearing between the clouds and mist, connecting the sky and the earth, shining with sacred light from top to bottom, like a divine realm on earth, Earthly Holy Land.

"Ok!"

Luo Ning stopped in his tracks, looked up and down at the holy mountain with a full view of the difficulty, and then turned to the girl: "This is...?"

"Sanctuary!"

The girl stared at the holy mountain, her eyes changed, and the meaning was inexplicable: "Minerva's sanctuary!"

Ronin: "..."

Minerva is the goddess of wisdom in the Roman pantheon, corresponding to Athena in the Greek pantheon, so the sanctuary of Minerva is actually the sanctuary of Athena.

Are you not afraid that others will send you a lawyer's letter?

Luo Ning complained silently in his heart.

The girl didn't notice it, and continued to introduce: "This is a holy mountain isolated from the world. The Goddess of Wisdom is in the divine domain of the world. She is protected by extremely powerful divine power. In its heyday, there were hundreds of divine power barriers, overlapping and connecting like one. , even if a high-ranking god comes, it will be difficult to shake, but will be suppressed and sealed."

"The heyday?"

Luo Ning rubbed his chin: "What about now?"

The girl glanced at him and said with a smile: "Now I don't know too well."

"..."

Luo Ning looked at her without speaking.

"no way!"

The girl didn't care, and said with a chuckle: "The world is changing every day. We have been away for too long. Whether the power of this sanctuary has been strengthened or weakened, how much it has been strengthened, and how much it has been weakened, only they know."

Reasonable and impeccable.

Luo Ning didn't force it either, but instead asked, "Is the zodiac in here?"

"yes!"

The girl nodded, and said: "Back when we combined the twelve palaces of the zodiac and sealed them in this holy mountain, the two sides have already merged into one, without distinction."

Luo Ning frowned: "Then how are you going to enter the Zodiac Palace and break into this holy mountain?"

"Of course not!"

The girl smiled and said: "The zodiac will automatically guide the holder of the key, even the holy mountain cannot block it, and the zodiac can control the holy mountain and the holy domain in turn."

The girl turned her attention to Luo Ning again: "Your Excellency Luo Ning, the conditions we offered are still valid, as long as you are willing to return the light of wisdom to us, you will always gain the guardian's friendship."

"hehe!"

Luo Ning smiled, noncommittal: "Let's talk about those Greek gods, do you mind revealing their information to me?"

If you don't answer, just answer.

Regarding this, the girl could only sigh helplessly: "Now the apocalypse has not yet come, and the elemental barrier separates the two worlds of man and god. The Greek gods cannot enter the human world, so they can only send their gods to fight with us to compete with us for the twelve worlds of the zodiac." ownership of the palace."

"Of God?"

Luo Ning folded his hands on his chest, and then asked bluntly: "Is there any character that needs to be focused on?"

"..."

The girl was silent for a while, and then she said: "The gods of the Greek gods are mostly demigod heroes with divine blood, and their strength is even stronger than those lower native gods. The Hercules even Able to confront the Lord God."

Demigod hero!

This is a major feature of the Greek pantheon.

Although god-human hybrids exist in all major gods, other gods are definitely not as good as the Greek gods in this regard. The degree of chaos in the private lives of Greek gods is even worse than that of the dragons.

The demigod heroes are born, they are half god, usually human...or maybe beast, monster, or something, just like those messed up dragonborn.

But whether they are demigods, demigods, or demigods, their strength is extremely powerful, even surpassing the native gods of Greece.

Hercules is the best example. He is the prophesied son of Olympus and helped the Greek gods defeat the Titans born of Uranus and the mother goddess Gaia.

At that time, his strength was already extremely powerful, and he could even compete with a titan of the same god. After being conferred the title of Hercules by Zeus, he was even able to fight against the main god as a high-ranking god.

This shows the horror of this demigod hero.

Although not all demigod heroes have a god-king father like Hercules, they are still an important combat power component of the Greek pantheon. In the novel, they always acted as the vanguard of the Greek gods, overcoming obstacles.

"Oh!"

Luo Ning nodded and said, "Is he here?"

"should not."

The girl smiled and said: "He is the son of Zeus and the only high-ranking subordinate of the god king Zeus. Now he can't enter the world either. The gods leading this time should be the two subordinates of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Hughes and Odysseus."

Theseus!

Odysseus!

The two subordinates under the Goddess of Wisdom stand side by side, regardless of their superiority or inferiority.

But if they are side by side, their division of labor is still different. Odysseus is known for his resourcefulness and belongs to the "civilian", while Theseus is known for his force and belongs to the "general".

This is also in line with Athena's positioning. She is not only the goddess of wisdom and art, but also the goddess of war and victory. Her subordinates all focus on wisdom and courage, and Theseus focuses on force.

He is the son of destiny of Athens, the greatness in Greek mythology, second only to Hercules.

He has killed countless ferocious savages and robbers, bravely fought the Minotaur the Minotaur in the maze of the royal city, conquered the queen of the Amazons, hijacked the world-famous Greek beauty Helen, and even broke into the Hades in his later years. Attempts to rob Hades' wife, Hades Queen Persephone.

Although this daring act ended in failure, the legendary King of Athens was captured by Hades, the king of Hades, imprisoned in Hades for many years before being rescued by Hercules, but this also shows his strength.

This time the Greek gods sent him out to lead the demigod heroes subordinate to the gods to compete for the Zodiac, which is also a matter of course.
