"This is my home!"
Little Hessiana said happily, holding a small branch in front of a rather dilapidated house.
This was a typical ancient Roman-style house. It was built with a mixture of primitive pozzolanic cement and masonry. It was square and had tall courtyard walls. It was obvious that the people who lived here must have taken good care of the house. It was very clean, and there were no weeds around it. All the damaged parts of the house had been carefully repaired. But because of the endless bad luck, not only the building itself had a poor and dilapidated atmosphere, but there was also a large uninhabited area around the house. People avoided this place that brought misfortune as if they were avoiding the plague.
Lily whispered softly, "Vivian was more or less an idle god in this era. Even Caesar was afraid of her. Why didn't she just extort money from Caesar? At least, she wanted a palace or something to live in."
Hessiana shook her head. "Because Vivian never liked to hurt people. She knew her luck. Not even the otherworldlings could withstand it, let alone ordinary humans. If she really asked Caesar for an offering, there would be no Roman Empire in history. "
Lily was speechless.
But anyway, little Hessiana, who was still a little girl, was obviously very satisfied with her 'home'. It was one of the few places in her childhood where she could live in peace. She proudly introduced the place to the guests. "This house used to belong to a human, but the man died in a sea accident. No one took care of the house, so Lady Vivian and I moved here! We have lived here for several years. "
Hao Ren was stunned. Only then did he realize that even the dilapidated house in front of him was actually not Vivian's property. Just like the Haron Castle in the future, it fell into the hands of Vivian after the original owner abandoned it. This was probably the only way Vivian could get her hands on a brick or a tile.
Lily was a little puzzled after hearing the little girl's words. She glanced at Hessiana. "Didn't you say that you and Vivian have been wandering around Rome for hundreds of miles? Why is there a fixed residence here? "
"I'm talking about a span of decades. We did wander around, but it's not contradictory to find a place to settle down in a short period of time, right? Besides, two thousand years have passed. How can I determine where 'I' live at this point in time? "
With that said, she looked up at the house that used to be her 'home'.
The old gate, the mottled outer wall, and the fallen eaves all evoked more and more memories in her mind.
"After Madam Vivian left, I stayed here for a short time, but the house was burned down by a fire. After that, I wandered around the city of Rome. Later, I found a place to live nearby with my own abilities, but I did not dare to go too far away from here. I was afraid that Madam Vivian would not be able to find me when she came back. Now that I think about it, it was not easy at that time. At that time, the ancient Greek gods had fallen, and the demon hunters had begun to search the human world for survivors who had escaped from Mount Olympus. I didn't know anything at first, and I was almost caught several times … Tsk, tsk. "
Hasse, who was standing next to her, touched his nose a little awkwardly. He did not know what to say when it came to this topic.
"Forget it, let's not think about these unhappy things. Madam Vivian is still waiting for us." Hessiana smiled and led everyone into the house like a host. The little girl version of Hessiana next to her looked at her in a daze.
"Ahem, be careful," even Hao Ren could not help but remind the little bat. "In theory, you are now a guest here, and the owner of this house is the big loli next to you."
Hessiana was speechless.
She wanted to say that the little girl next to her was herself, but looking at little Hessiana's innocent face, she could not bring herself to say it. After a long while, she could only say, "Speaking of which, why was I so cute back then?"
"How can you praise yourself like that?" Hao Ren and Lily said in unison.
Little Hessiana had no idea what was going on. At this time, she was far from the shrewd and capable matriarch who was good at scheming against the leaders of the various races. The little girl, who had just entered the human society and had been wandering with Vivian, still had an innocent heart. She was very happy that there were guests and tried to treat these "mother's friends" in the right way. She led Hao Ren and the others into the main hall, which had no furnishings except a long table and a few chairs. She then ran around looking for food and water. Hao Ren could not help but sigh to Little Bat. "You were such a good child. How did you grow up to be like this?"
"What's wrong with me?" Little Bat glared at Hao Ren. "I have been through so much, and I can still be like this. That's a good thing, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay. You have a point. I won't argue with you." Hao Ren waved his hand to show that he did not want to argue with her. He then began to take out all kinds of snacks and dry food from his Dimensional Pocket and waved to little Hessiana, who was busy looking around. "Hessiana, don't bother. We brought our own food. Come on, let's eat together."
Little Hessiana ran over and looked curiously at the dazzling food on the table … and the packaging. She pressed her finger to her lips, but hesitated. "But Mommy said I can't take things from strangers …"
"We are not strangers." Hao Ren waved his hand and then patted Hessiana next to him. "Besides, your sister is here."
Little Hessiana hesitated for a moment. After all, it was difficult for a child to resist the temptation of delicious food, especially for someone like her who had lived a hard life with Vivian since she was a child. The little girl immediately grabbed a bag of biscuits and stuffed them into her mouth.
Hao Ren quickly taught her how to open the packaging.
Hessiana looked at the scene with a conflicted look on her face. She had no one to talk to, so she turned to Hasse and muttered, "Why do I feel so weird? Watching this guy bribing me with snacks?"
Hasse was expressionless.
"How is this bribing?" Hao Ren said. "Come on, you can do it too. Here's a candy. Hurry up and give yourself a candy. This is a rare opportunity."
Hessiana was speechless.
Little Bat felt that she had achieved many unimaginable things in life today.
On the other side, Lily muttered thoughtfully, "It's a pity that I probably won't be able to see my other self in history."
"What did you say?" Hao Ren did not catch what she said.
"Nothing," Lily said, waving her hand. "I suddenly feel that I'm going to miss out on an achievement. By the way, Mr. Landlord, are we really going to the battlefield of the gods on Mount Olympus? How are we going to get in? "
Hao Ren nodded. "If we are going to Mount Olympus, we have to at least finalize the map first. Hasse, I'll leave it to you."
"No problem," Hasse said. He then used his magic to outline a holographic map in the air. The map showed a large number of mountains floating in the air, connected by suspended stairs or corridors. Magnificent temples and glowing barriers could be seen everywhere. "I'm not going to hide it. Anyway, everyone knows what happened in the war of the gods. This is the battle map that the demon hunters used before they destroyed Mount Olympus. As you can see, Mount Olympus has a total of twelve peaks. The twelve gods, including Zeus, each occupy one of them. This mountain range, cut from a foreign planet, is suspended in an anti-gravity environment. Zeus' throne has a main control center that can monitor all the peaks. Each peak has its own control system and energy center. "
"Gravity will lose its effect after leaving Mount Olympus. Beyond that, there is a very powerful radiation zone that spreads all the way to the border of the different dimension. The entire Mount Olympus is wrapped in a layer of radiation field. This structure makes air raids very risky, especially now that most of Mount Olympus has fallen and control points have been paralyzed. The safety zone on the mountain has been greatly reduced, and the radiation field in many places may have touched the ground."
"It's best not to challenge that thing." Hao Ren nodded. "Turn on the radiation detector when you go up the mountain. Try to avoid anything that looks dangerous."
"First of all, let's talk about our target. If I'm right, Vivian is here." Hasse stretched out his hand and pointed to a peak near the highest peak of Mount Olympus.
"This is …" Hao Ren frowned.
"The temple of Poseidon. After I led the army to attack the throne of Zeus, the gods of Olympus lost their supreme command center. Their remaining resistance forces retreated to the temple of Poseidon for the last time. This was the final and most tragic battle. They were indeed courageous. They resisted for a long time in such a small place. At that time, all areas except the temple of Poseidon had fallen under the control of the demon hunters. It can be said that the only place in the whole of Mount Olympus at this time is the territory of Poseidon. I still remember that the place where I last met Hesperides was near the temple of Poseidon. "
Lily nodded vigorously. "Oh yes, you opened a hole in her brain. She will hate you until the 21st century."
Hasse: "…"
The husky maiden scratched her head awkwardly. "Go on, go on …"
"We can't enter the temple of Poseidon directly, so we have to find the nearest infiltration point. The best place is here."
