Greece brings evildoers

After a day and night of trekking, the Clerk of Crete, who had been wandering for several months, finally returned to his loyal Mount Ares.

"got it?"

Athena, who went out to greet him, looked at Lorne for a while and then spoke playfully, her senses as sharp as ever.

Lorne nodded helplessly, his sense of accomplishment in fooling all the gods gone.

It has to be said that having such a smart leader pressuring you will inevitably lead to frustration.

If he didn't knock her to the ground, he might never get ahead.

A meaningful color flashed in Lorne's eyes, and then he quickly gathered his thoughts and asked in a deep voice.

"Where are the things and the place I want?"

"Don't worry, everything is ready as you said."

After Athena finished speaking, she led Lorne to the top of the Ares Mountain. After looking among the rugged rocks and withered yellow grass, she raised her hand and brushed aside a bluish-gray boulder, revealing the magic array buried underneath.

The stars twinkled among them, reflecting the stars in the sky.

The base seems to be based on the Greek astrology chart.

Athena thought for a moment, put her hand into the astrolabe, skillfully captured a few stray stars, and moved them to the correct position.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the astrolabe suddenly lit up, and a turbulent stream of golden light shot straight into the sky, bringing with it a strong trembling of ether. The Ares Mountain beneath the two of them continued to vibrate, and stairs made of marble spread upwards, leading to the arch. Behind the light curtain.

Lorne couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this magnificent scene.

Is there a place like this in Ares Mountain? He never knew!

Athena's eyes touched the surprise on that face, and a trace of pride flashed in her eyes. Then she picked up Lorne, who was still stunned, and stepped forward, reminding him leisurely.

"Get ready, we are about to enter the real sanctuary."

As the lingering sound echoed, Athena stepped forward, pulling Lorne into the turbulent golden light flow.

And soon Lorne learned what Athena meant by "preparation".

When the two of them stepped into the light door, their feet suddenly became empty. The wind roared in their ears, and a strong feeling of weightlessness came over them.

This is... high in the sky!

The sudden change caught Lorne off guard, staggering and falling rapidly.

After a moment, he quickly stabilized his body and landed on a floating rock. He turned around and complained to Athena, who had a smirk on her face.

"Place the connection point of the teleportation circle high in the sky, you are really wicked."

"Isn't it good to use it to provide early warning against foreign enemies? Anyway, except for a few, no one knows about this place, so the possibility of breaking in by mistake is basically eliminated."

Athena explained confidently, then spread the golden wings on her back, flew across the hollow abyss in front of the light door, lightly stepped onto the small floating island connected to the stairs not far away, and waved to Lorne.

"Follow me, this way."

Having learned from the past, Lorne did not rush to set foot. He raised his eyes and looked around, his pupils gradually dilated, and a shocked look overflowed on his face.

Is this the real [Sanctuary]? !

Looking around, the stars are shining in the boundless sky, and the bright starlight is like gems dotting the sky, within reach.

Under the starlight, there is a vast and vast world, stretching out the chaos and vastness of the ancient times. Floating islands, large or small, are looming in the clouds and distributed in an orderly manner, just like the palace of stars on the earth reflecting the celestial phenomena.

On the floating island, some flowers are red and willows are green, and the vegetation is lush; some are gurgling water and the mountains are undulating; some are open plains and the fruits and vegetables are thriving; some are sparkling crystals and precious pearls; some are towering pillars and lined with palaces...

The islands connected to each other seem to be an independent paradise of gods.

Lorne counted them carefully. There were a total of eighty-eight larger islands with magnificent palaces guarding the throats of each place. They shone with different lights of cyan, silver and gold, which seemed to be the same as those on the Greek astrolabe. astrological correspondence.

Among them, the twelve most gorgeous golden temples occupy the center of the entire starry sky, like gorgeous star rings, guarding in front of three huge goddess statues.

The goddess on the left wears a laurel wreath and armor. She holds a shield in one hand to protect the weak and a gun in the other to fight against powerful enemies. Her high fighting spirit is like the thunder in the sky and the raging waves of the deep sea, showing the original vitality of life. and struggle.

The goddess on the right, with her face covered with gauze, holds a scale in one hand and a holy sword in the other, which symbolizes judgment and punishment, impartiality, impartiality and selflessness, and represents the order from the starry sky and the morality in the heart.

The goddess in the center is wearing a plain long dress with a straight skirt. She holds her hands together on her chest, protecting the eternal fire in her arms, dispelling the darkness and bringing light. A touch of love for the world and joy for life flow between her eyebrows.

The three statues of gods with distinctive features in front of them clearly represent Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, Themis, the goddess of justice and justice, and Hestia, the goddess of fire and home.

Lorne turned to look at Athena and asked the doubts in his heart with surprise.

"When did you arrange these?"

"While you were fooling around outside."

Athena hummed and stabbed, a trace of overflowing pride appearing on her face.

This project is so outrageous! And it was actually done under the nose of Zeus!

Lorne automatically filtered out the sarcasm in his words. While admiring this complex of buildings with both classical artistic beauty and magical defense capabilities, he glanced at Athena beside him, secretly cursing in his heart.

Sister, you are so good at civil engineering. Are you going to take over the job of plastering on construction sites in the future?

"The space of the Holy Land has been specially processed by my power. It is easy to get lost without guidance. Follow me closely!"

Athena interrupted Loen's thoughts in a deep voice, and then took him to the huge floating island and temple connected like petals under the feet of the three goddess sculptures in the starry sky.

The temple is their destination.

And to pass through the entire Holy Land with specially processed space and reach the end, there is only one way to go in theory.

"According to my design, outsiders need to pass through the twelve zodiac palaces that are the main body of the sanctuary. In theory, each zodiac palace will be guarded by a gold saint who is above the level of a demigod. In order, the corresponding constellations are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

When they reach the end, they will be greeted by the altar seat in the center who is responsible for guarding the [temple]. He will decide whether to Awaken the subordinate gods of the three goddesses, or the three goddesses themselves.

In addition, drawing on the experience of the previous offensive and defensive battles on Crete, the entire [Sanctuary] is actually an offensive and defensive entity. The zodiac is the axis, and the silver and bronze saints scattered in the other constellations are connected to it. They can gather in the zodiac of the zodiac or the [Temple] at the first time to provide support through the connection of the eighty-eight constellations..."

On the way, Athena couldn't help showing off her masterpiece and told her elaborate design to Loen beside her.

Loen listened quietly, or nodded and praised certain features, or asked for more details, and gave his own suggestions and opinions from beginning to end without any perfunctory or impatience.

As the goddess of wisdom, few people can match her in terms of scheming and vision.

She is too lonely.

It's rare to have time to take a walk together and feel her heart wrapped under the shell, so Loen naturally tried his best to satisfy her.

After all, this road is not long, and the next road will be very long.

"Unfortunately, with the Father God watching, there are not many heroes that can be won over, and I don't want to reveal the secrets of the [Sanctuary] to them, so now it's just a gorgeous empty shell."

Athena looked back at the empty zodiac, as well as the other star palaces and floating islands that were also silent, with regret on her face.

"Don't worry, there will be, there will be."

Lorne comforted softly, with an indescribable firmness and depth in his eyes.

Athena nodded, took Lorne to the end of the floating island, and came to the open square.

Suddenly, in front of the statues of Hestia and Themis, the altars with a golden flame and a sheathed long sword respectively attracted his attention.

"That is..."

"Yes, as you think." Athena nodded, and replied faintly, "They are sleeping down there, one because the godhead is broken, and the other because the godhead is missing..."

Lorne heard this, and his thoughts surged in complexity.

"Okay, don't put on that sad face. They are just temporarily asleep, not to the point of life and death. As long as we collect enough faith for them in the future, they will wake up sooner or later." Athena on the side waved her hand and pointed to the void under the floating island where the starlight gathered and flowed, and added unhappily, "Moreover, the base of the sanctuary itself can also provide them with some recovery power, but it will take a longer time."

Lorn nodded, not dwelling too much on useless issues.

Whether it's Themis or Hestia, they will choose to put all of themselves on him.

As long as he is still alive, as long as he can win, Themis and Hestia will be awakened sooner or later.

In order to dispel the somewhat dull atmosphere, Lorne pointed to the statue and altar belonging to Athena and asked jokingly: "So, yours is ready too?"

Hearing the deliberate misleading, Athena couldn't help but give Lorne a blank look: "I really don't understand why you want me to prepare that kind of thing."

"You also have times when you can't guess?" Lorne asked back with a smile, with a teasing look on his face.

"I just don't want to bother with these insignificant little things." Athena snorted lightly, turned her head away proudly, and in order to maintain her face, she did not continue to ask, and took Lorne into the temple formally.

In an instant, the light disappeared, darkness emerged, and an indescribable confinement and isolation spread.

It seemed that everything around had no time, no space, and no dimension.

As a ray of starlight from Athena's fingertips lit up, Lorne saw the full picture of the [Temple].

——This is a man-made cave. The dark stone walls are all engraved with dense spells, leaving no gaps. Countless stars flicker in the handwriting, like a miniature universe.

After taking a careful look, his fingertips slid across the surrounding stone walls and runes, and Loen suddenly realized.

"Are we in the belly of the Ares Mountain?"

It turned out that the so-called [Temple] was just a cover-up. The real face here is a [prison] that imprisoned gods.

"Yes, this is your main battlefield. At the critical moment, the power of the entire sanctuary can be used by you."

Athena nodded and sneered confidently.

"As long as she dares to come, she will definitely be in trouble!"

"That's what I said, but to be on the safe side, wait until I'm ready here, and then help me call one more person in."

"Who?"

"Melino!"

Lorne uttered the answer leisurely, with a sly smile on his face.

"Ask her if she wants to play a big game and make a world-shaking conspiracy with me."

Athena looked at Lorne deeply, without saying much, nodded gently, then stood up and left the [Temple] to go outside to prepare.

Watching the figure full of security and oppression disappear in the starlight, Lorne shook his head, sat on the ground, and began to absorb the divinity of Zeus in his body, gathering the twelfth incarnation, and slowly ripening the [fruit] on his body.

~~

A few days later, a loud eagle cry sounded in the dark space, and a pair of purple eyes slowly opened, with divine light like lightning!

At the same time, his body exuded bursts of fragrance, like a ripe peach, delicious and juicy for some beings, it is the time to harvest and taste.
