After the old priest left, Hao Ren nodded to Lily and the others. He then took out a signal amplifier from his dimensional pocket and placed the badge on the receiver. This way, the encrypted signal from Olympus could be broadcasted directly. At the same time, he could even use the limited communication bandwidth of the badge to sense the situation on Mount Olympus.
The first few calls were like stones in the ocean; there was no response.
Lily's ears twitched. "Is Apollo not at home?"
Hessiana thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's charging his phone."
"Stop it, you two," Hao Ren said.
Since the conventional call did not work, Hao Ren had to resort to cheating mode. He simply cracked the function of the badge and used it as a signal transmission device. He then began to listen to the movements on the other end of the communication channel.
At first, there was only a meaningless interference noise coming from the signal amplifier. But as Hao Ren continued to fine-tune the frequency of the device, there seemed to be other faint sounds in the noise. Slowly, there were voices and whistling sounds coming from the device.
Encouraged, Hao Ren increased the filtering and amplification of the signal according to the previous fine-tuning. Finally, a clear shout suddenly rang out. "Ah! I'm bleeding all over the floor! "
After that, there was no more movement.
The room suddenly became very quiet. The four of them looked at each other awkwardly. Obviously, Hasse was the most embarrassed among them, although his face was expressionless. Lily gave the old demon hunter a sideways glance. "What's going on?"
"'I've just killed Apollo," Hasse said in a strange tone. "Well, at least now we know the situation on Mount Olympus. The historical' me 'has led the army to break through the rear line of defense of Olympus. The entire Olympus divine system is almost done for."
Hao Ren finally could not help but jump to his feet. "Why were you so proactive back then? Why did you have to do it now of all times? "
Hasse looked very innocent. "Wasn't it my duty back then? And more than 2,000 years ago, I didn't know that one day I would need to use those guys who have been regarded as' prey 'by the demon hunters."
"Mr. Landlord, are we going to the other temples to ask around?" Lily tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve. "Anyway, the people on Mount Olympus are not dead yet. There must be someone answering the phone."
Hao Ren sighed. "Hasse has led his troops to break through the back gate of Olympus, which means that the stalemate phase of the Greek war of gods is over. At this time, Mount Olympus is in chaos. Do you think those Greek gods would still pay attention to the signal from the human world at this critical juncture? They're about to lose their lives. "
Hessiana pursed her lips. "Tsk, it's really unreliable to rely on others. We have to find it ourselves."
Hao Ren did not say a word, but he felt a little regretful. Logically speaking, after coming to the realm of the gods in the Mythological Era, finding the local 'gods' to inquire about Vivian's whereabouts was the best way to go. Whether they were friends with Vivian or enemies of Vivian, at least they had been keeping an eye on the great Countess' movements. For Hao Ren, who had no clue where to go, those 'gods' were the best source of information. Raven 12345 had also advised him to do so before he set off.
But as the saying goes, plans can never keep up with changes. Who knew that the backtracking node around the first year of the Common Era would be stuck at such a critical juncture when the demon hunters broke through Mount Olympus. Even when the Olympian family was in a stalemate with the demon hunters and the situation was getting worse and worse, they still kept an eye on Vivian's movements. But now, they really could not count on them anymore.
As luck would have it, Hao Ren and his entourage came in at the right time. The moment they came in, they heard Apollo say, "My blood is flowing all over the ground."
As soon as they came out of the room, Hao Ren saw the old priest, who looked nervous. The old man seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw the 'gods', he immediately came up to them. "Mighty gods, have you got the answer you want? Did the great Sun God also give me an order? "
Hao Ren was too embarrassed to tell the old priest that the sun god he worshipped had just died. He just gave a perfunctory reply. "We have asked, but Apollo did not give you an answer. The divine realm has been busy recently and probably has no time to deal with the human world."
The old priest bowed his head in awe. "The gods must be busy with the order of heaven and earth."
Hao Ren sighed. He thought to himself, 'What order? The whole race is busy with the annihilation of their families.'
Lily looked at the old man in the priest's robe. From the unsmoothed wrinkles on his face, it was not difficult to see how lost the old man was. Although the otherworldling gods were never kind, for the priests who devoted their lives to worship the gods, the activities of the gods were their whole life.
Lily recalled the old priest's voice of "my blood is flowing all over the ground." She finally could not help but ask, "Well, old man, have you thought about changing your profession?"
The old priest did not understand. "Huh?"
"Nothing, she's just joking." Hao Ren waved his hand hurriedly and dragged Lily out. "Then we won't bother you anymore. Go do your thing. Remember, don't tell anyone what happened here today."
As they passed through the front of the temple, Hao Ren looked back at the majestic statue of the sun god Apollo.
Ordinary people could not see it, but Hao Ren could see that the layer of 'aura' around the statue was gradually dissipating. The stone statue, which once possessed a trace of Apollo's power, was rapidly weakening and turning into a stone that looked no different from the surrounding bricks.
"Mr. Landlord, why didn't you let me continue?" After leaving the temple, Lily finally could not help but ask. "Those false gods are all dead. What are the priests and monks doing other than changing their profession?"
Hao Ren looked at the dog maiden who was sometimes very smart and sometimes very stupid. "It is because of the disappearance of the gods that the priest class ushered in the last wave of glory in history. For them, this may also be the first real glory."
"Why?" Lily did not even think about it.
"Because no one cares, so they can talk nonsense and keep things that originally belonged to their master." Hessiana shrugged. "When the 'gods' were still around, the priests were just tools and slaves of those otherworldling gods. Laocoon of Troy was a good man, but he was killed by the gods because he said something wrong. But it's different when the gods are dead. The end of the Mythological Era is great news for the human priests. Before the truth of the 'fall of the gods' is exposed, they can deceive and deceive for more than 1,800 years."
Lily scratched her head. "Oh, it sounds reasonable."
"You can't think of it, or you're too lazy to think about it," Hao Ren said. "You've graduated from Peking University four times."
Lily put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Nonsense. Why should I use my brain when I'm with you guys who have nothing better to do?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
This was the first time the husky maiden had admitted it so confidently.
"Hao Ren, what are you going to do next?" Hasse could not do anything about Lily, the theoretical leader of the previous generation of demon hunters. To avoid embarrassment, he changed the topic. "It's not a good idea to aimlessly search for Vivian's whereabouts in Rome, especially when Hessiana can't provide any useful information."
Hao Ren pinched his eyebrows. He had even thought of going to Mount Olympus, not only to find Vivian's whereabouts, but also to find Hesperides of this era. The nymph of the evening was undoubtedly a great help to him in his journey to the Mythological Era. But the information collected in the Temple of Apollo made him dismiss the idea. The demon hunters had broken through the last line of defense of Olympus. For decades, they had been fighting the army of Zeus at the foot of Mount Olympus. But now, the battle had entered the final and craziest stage. Zeus's divine court was full of demon hunters and ancient Greek gods. It was no longer a suitable place for adventure.
Hao Ren was confident in his own strength, but he was not reckless. It was not a good idea to get involved in the war between the demon hunters and the Greek gods when he could not call Nolan or seek other external help. The reorganized sacred army was not the Hunter Group of 1,400 years ago!
Although Hasse should be leading the team on Mount Olympus at the moment, it would be a good idea to use Hasse as a replacement. However, that would be under the protection of thousands of soldiers. It was too risky to take an unconventional approach. At least, it was not proportional to the rewards.
Hao Ren weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Suddenly, a loud noise from the street interrupted his thoughts.
Countless citizens were rushing to the streets, and Roman soldiers in gorgeous armor and capes were running along both sides of the street. Cheers came from afar, and it sounded like a big shot had appeared and was welcomed by the people on both sides of the street.
In the midst of the noise, Hao Ren heard a name.
"Caesar! The great Gaius Julius Caesar! "
At the end of the 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 circle of paintings of the gods. But there was no roof, so the leader sitting in the carriage could stand up and accept the worship of the people.
Gaius Julius Caesar, the famous Roman ruler, was standing in the carriage. Four heavily armed and loyal guards stood beside him, and Caesar himself was wearing a gorgeous, decorative armor. He was waving to the cheers of the crowd.
Hao Ren saw this scene.
He suddenly realized that in this era, Vivian was not only dealing with the gods on Mount Olympus, but also the one in front of him.
It was said that Vivian had once kicked Caesar into the moat.
