Chapter 281 The time when the peach is ripe
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 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 raging 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 back 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 as a warning against foreign enemies? Anyway, except for a few people, 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 was not in a hurry to set foot. He raised his eyes and looked around, his pupils gradually dilated, and a look of shock overflowed on his face.
Is this the real [Sanctuary]? !
Looking around, the stars are shining in the boundless sky, and the dazzling 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, like palaces of stars on the earth reflecting the celestial phenomena.
On the floating islands, some have red flowers and green willows, and lush vegetation; some have gurgling water and undulating mountains; some have open plains with thriving fruits and vegetables; some have sparkling crystals and precious pearls; some have towering pillars and numerous palaces...
The islands connected to each other seem to be an independent paradise of gods.
Lorne counted it 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 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, your civil engineering work is so good, are you going to take over the job of dusting the construction site in the future?
"The space in the Holy Domain has been specially treated by my power. It is easy to get lost without anyone to guide you. Follow me closely!"
Athena interrupted Lorne's thoughts with a deep voice, and then led him towards the huge floating island and temple connected like petals at the foot of the three goddess sculptures in the starry sky.
The temple, that was their destination. In theory, there is only one way to go through the entire sacred space that has been specially processed to reach the end.
"According to my design, outsiders need to pass through the twelve star palaces that are the main body of the sanctuary. In theory, each star palace will be guarded by a golden saint above half-god. According to the order, corresponding to the stars, respectively They 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 who is responsible for guarding the [Temple] and making arrangements in the middle. Depending on the severity of the situation, he will decide whether to awaken the three goddesses' subordinate gods or the three goddesses themselves.
In addition, based on the experience of the previous offensive and defensive battles in Crete, the entire [Sanctuary] is actually an offensive and defensive whole. The twelve zodiac signs are the axis. The silver and bronze saints scattered in the other star palaces are interconnected and can be borrowed. With the connection between the Eighty-eight Star Palaces, we immediately gathered in the Twelve Palaces of Huangdao, or the [Temple], to provide support..."
On the way, Athena couldn't help but show off her masterpiece and told Lorne about her elaborate designs.
Lorne listened quietly, or nodded and praised certain features, or asked for more details, and gave his own suggestions and opinions without any perfunctory or impatience from beginning to end.
As the goddess of wisdom, few people can match her in terms of scheming and vision.
She is so lonely.
It was rare to have time to take a walk together and feel her inner heart beneath her carapace, so Lorne naturally tried his best to satisfy her.
After all, this journey is not long, but the road ahead will be long.
"It's a pity that with the Father God watching over me, there aren't many heroes I can win over. I don't want to reveal the secrets about [Sacred Realm] to them, so now this is just a gorgeous empty shell."
Athena looked back at the empty zodiac signs, as well as other star palaces and floating islands that also maintained a dead silence, with regret on her face.
"Don't worry, there will be something, it will be there."
Lorne comforted softly, his eyes filled with indescribable firmness and depth.
Athena nodded and led Lorne to the floating island at the end and to the open square.
Suddenly, in front of the statues of Hestia and Themis, the altars enshrining a golden flame and a sheathed sword respectively attracted his attention.
"That is…"
"That's right, just as you thought." Athena nodded and replied faintly, "They are sleeping down there. One is because the godhead is broken, and the other is because the godhead is missing..."
Hearing this, Lorne had complicated thoughts in his heart.
"Okay, don't put on that sad face. They are only temporarily asleep. They are not in a state of death yet. As long as enough faith is collected for them in the future, they will wake up sooner or later." Athena on the side said. He waved his hand and pointed to the void where the stars gathered and flowed under the floating island, and added angrily, "Moreover, the base of the sanctuary itself can also provide them with some recovery power, but it will take a longer time." That's all.”
Lorne nodded and did not dwell too much on useless questions.
Be it Themis or Hestia, they will choose to put all of themselves on him.
As long as he lives, as long as he can win, sooner or later Themis and Hestia will be awakened.
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 roll her eyes at Lorne: "I really don't understand why you want me to prepare something like that."
"Is there ever a time when you can't guess it?" Lorne asked with a smile on his face, a look of ridicule on his face.
"I just don't want to bother with these insignificant things." Athena snorted and turned her head arrogantly. In order to maintain her face, she did not continue to ask questions and took Lorne into the temple.
In an instant, the light disappeared, darkness emerged, and an indescribable confinement and isolation spread.
It was as if everything around me had no time, no space, and no dimension.
As a ray of starlight lit up at Athena's fingertips, Lorne saw the entire [Temple] clearly.
- This is a man-made cave. The dark stone walls are all engraved with dense incantations, leaving no gaps. Countless stars shine in the writings, like a miniature universe.
After looking carefully for a few times and running his fingertips over the surrounding stone walls and runes, Lorne suddenly realized.
"Are we at the heart of the Ares Mountain?"
It turns out that the so-called [Temple] is just a cover-up, and the real face of this place is a [prison] where gods are imprisoned.
"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, it will definitely be enough for her to drink a pot!"
"That's what I said, but just to be on the safe side, wait until I'm ready and call one more person in for me."
"who?"
"Melinoe!"
Lorne spoke out the answer leisurely, with a smirk on his face.
"Ask her if she wants to play something big and start an earth-shattering conspiracy with me."
Athena took a deep look at Lorne, said nothing, nodded slightly, then stood up and left the [Temple] to prepare outside.
Watching the silhouette full of security and oppression disappear into the starlight, Lorne shook his head, sat on the floor, and began to absorb the divinity of Zeus in his body, assemble the twelfth incarnation, and slowly ripen the **** of Zeus in his body. 【fruit】.
A few days later, a loud eagle call sounded in the dark space, and a pair of purple eyes slowly opened, with a divine light like lightning!
At the same time, his body exudes a delicate fragrance, like a ripe peach. For some beings, it is delicious and juicy, and it is the time to harvest and taste it.
