As early as Chu Hao and the others left the beach, the Samsara Army had already sent people into the city of Agos. They changed into the linen clothes of the Middle Ages of Europe and defiled themselves. They looked no different from the humans of this world. These people were all proficient in reconnaissance and espionage. In just a few days, they had already obtained a lot of information without anyone noticing.
This was a world where humans and gods coexisted. The Kingdom of God did not leave the material world. Just by walking and climbing, one could reach the Kingdom of God with one's physical body. Therefore, conflicts naturally arose between the gods and humans due to contact. If the weather was good, it would be fine. Humans would offer sacrifices and piety to the gods out of gratitude. However, as the disaster worsened, humans began to doubt the gods. When the gods used an even more unyielding attitude to demand more sacrifices and faith, the conflicts erupted ….
This was the conflict between humans and gods. Similarly, the conflict between humans still existed. As Chu Hao had expected, in this ancient society, the nobles were high and mighty. In the middle were the soldiers and landlords, while the masses were at the bottom of the pyramid. When the disaster occurred, the nobles still enjoyed their usual luxurious lives, causing the conflict between the classes to become even more intense. This was simply a barrel of explosives that could be detonated at any time. It all depended on who would ignite it.
In addition, some gossip, as well as the nearby terrain, the size of the country, the approximate population, the number of gods, and even the cultural atmosphere of the area were all discovered by these professional spies. No one even noticed their existence at all. They had already completed the most basic reconnaissance and investigation.
The reason why Chu Hao decided to go to Agos first was that, in addition to setting up the plot as it unfolded, he also found something beneficial to himself from this information. That was, the legendary existence of the sages in this world …
Due to the existence of gods in this world's populace, or rather civilization, they could see and occasionally come into contact with real existences that were not just totem idols. Therefore, the civilization of this world held a kind of reverence and affirmation for the power that surpassed human beings. In other words, they were certain that the gods were real and not just illusory.
In fact, there were races that used magic in the Gobi Desert, and there were many fantasy races that coexisted with humans in this world. There was no reason for people to not believe in these supernatural powers. Among these countless supernatural powers, the most revered ones were not the gods or the demigods born from the gods and humans. The ones that were truly praised and praised by people were the so-called sages.
The legends of the sages lasted for a long time in this world's civilization. In fact, they were similar to the images of heroes, epics, or legendary masters. They were similar to figures like Zuo Ci in the history of China during the Three Kingdoms, or figures like the Great Wizard Merlin who was by King Arthur's side in England's legend. There might be fewer of them than the gods, but they were special figures that were respected from the bottom to the top of the hierarchy.
Regardless of the appearance, age, and gender of the sages, the most important thing was that they were knowledgeable. They knew almost everything from astronomy to human affairs to geography. It could be said that in the imagination of the people of this world, the sages should be such a human-shaped library. So of course, the age of the sages should be the kind of white-haired old man, the kind that would be best if he could walk while panting. In fact, Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings fit this image very well.
Secondly, although the sages were so old that they seemed to be unable to walk, they were definitely very powerful creatures. Yes, they could no longer be regarded as humans. They had the power of magic, they could easily slaughter an army, they had the power to change matter, and they could even see the future …
In short, in human legends, the so-called sages were omnipotent characters who could almost create miracles. In some epics passed down orally, even the gods had to ask the sages for help. One could imagine what the sages meant to the people of this world.
Chu Hao decided to become a Sage. He was confident. Or rather, he was a Sage to the people of this world. He had knowledge and power. He could predict the future. If he wanted to, he could predict the future. In comparison, even if there were Sages in this world, they might not be as good as him.
The only downside was his age, but it could also be said that he had immortality, or he could simply make up a story that he was a few hundred years old. As long as he had power, age was not the most important thing. Moreover, his goal was not this human country, but the male lead …
Chu Hao was wearing a white robe and holding an oak cane in one hand as he walked leisurely to the city gate. Beside him were Zhang Heng and three other accompanying soldiers. They were all dressed in the clothes of this era. The only difference was that Zhang Heng was dressed as an archer, while the other three soldiers were fully armed melee fighters.
The five of them walked to the city gate. Other than the two ancient Greek soldiers at the city gate, there were also many commoners who were worse than beggars in the eyes of modern people. Seeing the arrival of these five people, although they were dressed almost the same as the five of them, their spirit was completely different from theirs. This was actually very simple. It was just like how people in modern times would always feel that those people were very old-fashioned when they looked at old photos from decades ago. It was the same principle. It was only a few decades ago. For Chu Hao, Zhang Heng and the rest, the age gap between them and these people was even greater. Therefore, the difference in their spirit and temperament was even greater.
When Chu Hao and the others approached, the two soldiers were still in a daze, but the civilians behind them stood up and looked at the five of them curiously. They were still whispering, discussing which noble family the five of them were. At the same time, Chu Hao did not hesitate at all. He walked up to the two soldiers and said to them directly, "Tell your king that the Wilderness Sage Chu Hao requests an audience. I'm here to help you."
At this time, from the plot, the God of the Underworld had already descended on this city and issued his threat that he would release the sirens during the solar eclipse soon. At that time, the entire city would be destroyed. The people in the city obviously knew about this situation, so fear, doomsday, and escape appeared. Chu Hao took advantage of this opportunity to obtain his status as a sage.
Sure enough, after Chu Hao's words, the two soldiers were stunned for a moment before they immediately cheered in ecstasy. They immediately abandoned Chu Hao, rushed through the crowd of civilians, and ran toward the palace in the city. As they ran, they cheered and shouted. A sage is coming, a sage is coming. This situation made Chu Hao and the others sweat profusely … These ancient people really had no sense of secrecy.
However, this was also good. Chu Hao continued to maintain his dignified and solemn expression. He held his cane and looked at the city gate like an old man who had seen through the vicissitudes of life. Meanwhile, the commoners were stunned for a while before they cheered. Of course, there were also many people who had doubtful expressions on their faces. They were still whispering to each other. Of course, more and more people gathered at the city gate. Chu Hao even saw the two Hunter brothers who appeared in the storyline.
Not long after, a group of soldiers and more than ten nobles hurried over. The leader was an old man wearing a king's crown that symbolized his status. Before he got close, his voice was transmitted. "Sage, Your Excellency the Sage, welcome to the great Agos. This is the most glorious … city …"
When he got closer, the king had already seen Chu Hao and the others. Obviously, Chu Hao's attire was the legendary sage's attire. Although the king had obviously never seen the sages that appeared in the epics in his life, it was impossible for him not to know the images, abilities, achievements, and so on of the sages that had been passed down through the ages. However … it was impossible for a sage to be so young.
Chu Hao smiled. He stretched out one of his hands and an invisible force surged forward. It immediately blocked the group of people behind the King. This force was strong but gentle. It only forced them to stop in their tracks. They couldn't get any closer, but it didn't hurt them.
The king obviously sensed that something was wrong. When he looked back, his expression immediately changed to one of surprise. When he turned back again, Chu Hao was already walking towards him step by step. As he walked, he said, "I am a sage who has lived in seclusion in the wilderness. I have been living in seclusion since your great-great-grandfather's time, so don't judge a sage's age from his appearance. That's just deceiving your eyes."
The king immediately lowered his head respectfully and said, "Esteemed Sage Chu Hao, please follow me. I will receive you in the great hall. Your arrival will definitely save my country, save this city. Rejoice, soldiers, rejoice, subjects. Our Agos is saved!"
The invisible force just now had really shocked the soldiers, nobles, and civilians. Although they still had some doubts about Chu Hao's identity as a sage, this did not affect their excitement for the arrival of hope. Instantly, cheers filled the city as if it was the grandest day of celebration …
On the other hand, Chu Hao still maintained his old man's demeanor. He naturally and casually followed behind the King and slowly walked towards the palace …
The identity of a sage … was in his hands!
