The two Saintesses grabbed the details at the same time.
The other Wise Women and Maids also grabbed the flower petals. Following this comment, the people of the entire city were doing the same thing.
There was something wrong with the flowers.
They weren't olive flowers or jasmine flowers!
There were many varieties of white flowers. Even olive flowers and jasmine flowers had many different colors.
However, the people of Athens were familiar with both olive flowers and jasmine flowers. How could they possibly mistake them for something else?
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them, they're just olive flowers and jasmine flowers!"
"My family grows olives. The fragrance and appearance of the flowers are slightly different, but the difference isn't huge. Did the government send truckloads of fake flowers to Athens just to make it cheaper?"
"How ironic, they're all fake olive flowers and jasmine flowers. If it weren't for Pamise, the Hall Mother, who happened to use two different kinds of flowers as Wishes, none of us would have known that the flowers used to decorate the city were being sold under the table."
The gardeners, botanists, farmers, and farm owners gradually recognized the flowers. They were similar to olive flowers and jasmine flowers, but they were definitely not real olive flowers and jasmine flowers …
They had no idea what kind of flowers they were, but if they were not jasmine flowers and olive flowers, the Wishing Magic would not work. After all, the Holy Olive Branch and the Jasmine Flower had their own souls. Why would they absorb the Blessing from flowers that did not belong to them?
Pamise's face darkened.
It was supposed to be a perfect election. The Goddess's Seat would be decided today, and Parthenon would enter a new era. However, something so stupid and ridiculous had happened!
"Who's in charge of decorating the city's flowers? Where did these fake flowers come from?" Pamise was obviously angry. She was going to investigate the matter in public!
For a moment, several municipal officials panicked. They had never thought that such a blunder would occur during such a grand election!
Hall Mother Pamise's tone was intimidating, and the crowd's discussion quieted down.
At this moment, a Muse walked over to the Hall Mother's side and whispered a few words to her.
"Speak louder so that the two Saintesses can hear you." The Hall Mother did not allow the Muse to whisper to her.
She was the Hall Mother, not the Overseer. No matter what happened, the two Saintesses would deal with it.
"These two flowers aren't just ordinary fake flowers. I've studied all kinds of magical plants before. Even though the appearance of the flowers is very similar to jasmine flowers and olive flowers, they are a kind of flower that we're all familiar with," the Plant Muse said.
"What are they?" Izisha asked before the others could react.
"They are essentially … poppies," the female sage said.
"Poppy!!" Ye Xinxia also looked surprised.
How could it be a poppy flower!
Poppy flowers don't look like this!!
"I'm afraid it's the handiwork of an outstanding Plant Magician. He managed to grow poppies that look like jasmine and olive flowers …" the Muse said.
"Is it a prank?" the old Priest Ermo said.
"The flowers in the city are all poppies. How many acres of land would it take to grow them all? Who would put in so much effort to pull a prank like this?" Iza said coldly.
Ye Xinxia shared the same thought as Iza.
There was no way it was a prank!
The price to pay for the prank was way too high!
The flowers in the city during the Fenghua Festival were all fake!
They were not jasmine flowers, nor olive flowers, they were poppies …
"Where's the chief of the Botany Association?" Iza sensed danger. She immediately asked the bureaucrats in Athens.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a black suit slowly walked over. He wore a black top hat and held a black cane in his hand. He looked like a slightly bloated old gentleman.
"Your Highness, he's in charge of the flowers in the city," the Hall Master of the Hall of Judgment said.
The swollen old man's pace was not hurried. He maintained his slow pace.
He went up to Iza, the Hall Mother, and Ye Xinxia before introducing himself to the people of the city.
"Citizens of Athens, the two Saintesses of Parthenon, the Hall Mother, and the Hall Masters, I wish you a pleasant Fenghua Festival," the swollen old man said politely.
"As for me, I'm the city's image manager, but I have another identity and hobby. My hobby is to plant some magical flowers and plants. I once had a large olive garden in Green Sprouts City, and I planted a plant there. We all call it the Holy Flower."
Izisha stepped forward and forcefully stopped the Executive Officer from speaking.
"What's your other identity!?" Iza demanded.
"You better let me finish. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died," the swollen old man said to Iza.
"Your other identity!" Iza's eyes flickered murderously!
"The Dark Herbalist!" The swollen old man took off his black hat. His cloudy eyes were emitting a terrifying aura!
The Hall Mother, the old priest, the two Saintesses, and the three Hall Masters were astounded.
The Adjudicators of the Hall of Judgment quickly surrounded the old man. They were afraid that the old man was carrying some terrifying magic weapon, and was planning to do something to the honorable leaders of the Parthenon Temple.
"You better let me finish. Don't forget that you are surrounded by my 'bombs'!" The Dark Herbalist said calmly to the Hall Mother and the two Saintesses, facing the murderous Adjudicators.
The bombs the Dark Herbalist was referring to were the poppies he had planted.
It was obvious that he was the one who had transported the poppies to the Acropolis by the truckload!
These flowers were his dangerous items!!
He was fearless!
The Hall Mother took a deep breath. She glanced at Iza, signaling her to take care of the Dark Herbalist.
"Wait," Ye Xinxia stopped her.
"We can't afford to talk to someone like him. He's from the Black Vatican," Hall Mother Pamise said.
"If all the flowers in the city were poppies, then we would be facing a crisis of extinction … These flowers are the Frenzy Poppies, the poppies that can create the Frenzy Rain!" Ye Xinxia's body trembled slightly, and even her voice trembled a bit.
The Frenzy Poppies!
The Calamity of Bo City originated from a Frenzy Rain that could make demon creatures go on a rampage.
The Calamity of the Ancient Capital was also caused by the Frenzy Rain that allowed the undead to move freely during the day!
The Frenzy Spring Water was refined from the Frenzy Poppies!
The Olive Garden of Green Sprouts City was once planted by the Dark Herbalist. The pollen of the Frenzy Poppies had caused a demonized Tyrant Titan to go out of control …
Now, the whole of Athens City was filled with the Frenzy Poppies!
This was a familiar yet chilling conspiracy ….
…
"I'm working for the Red Cardinal, Salan. You can call me the Dark Herbalist. I can tell that everyone is fond of the Frenzy Poppies that I've planted.
"Of course, there's another kind of creature that is obsessed with the flowers, too!"
The Dark Herbalist grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth. He was laughing maniacally!
