Thank you. Now the Internet bar actually has this function, the cashier''s sister gave us a happy birthday. Ha ha.)
-------------------------------
Because it happened suddenly.
Murphy didn''t notice the high priest''s departure, but when he reflected, the high priest''s back was far away.
The new year''s festival is now over.
In fact, the key part of the whole ceremony is to conduct a large-scale prayer under the guidance of the priests, so as to arouse the power of faith and prepare for the coming miracles.
Murphy waved to the citizens to be quiet.
He said a few words, and then began to let the generals prepare for the first round of competition tomorrow.
The ancient Greeks had a strong interest in competitive sports. This can be seen from the cessation of the Peloponnesian War because of the Olympic Games. Although the advantages of professional soldiers are relatively large, but many other young citizens are not convinced, or eager to sign up, decided to compete with those soldiers! They have all received certain military training since childhood. Compared with those soldiers, although there is a little gap, it is not very big.
The final result of this concept is the competition between non military citizens and military citizens, and the two parties decide who will win the championship.
For such a benign competition, Murphy not only does not intend to prevent, but also encourages.
On the one hand, he told those non military citizens that although they are not soldiers, they have been trained since childhood, which is no different from those soldiers. On the one hand, Murphy told the soldiers that they were all powerful soldiers who had received the most rigorous training of their time. They are excellent soldiers, how can they lose to those young guys?
We must tell them by action that you are too young.
It''s better to practice for two years!
ok
Murphy is fanning the flames, but he can predict the outcome.
It''s obviously difficult to win over the soldiers. After all, the soldiers are stronger physically. However, in any case, it is necessary to encourage the enthusiasm of other citizens and give them the pride and pride they can obtain after defeating their opponents. At the same time, he also wanted to give some pressure to the soldiers in the army, otherwise these guys would not have fun without pressure.
This kind of intense competition, the relative competitive atmosphere is the key!
………………
The generals started the first round of auditions.
And after Murphy explained some things, he went to the leading temple. He always felt that there was something wrong with the high priest leaving so early today.
Above the altar.
Helen, the priest of love and beauty, watched Murphy''s back as she left. She looked back at the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and whispered, "now, you''ve got a problem for yourself. He''s not a hero you can play with. "
"It''s Murphy! It''s fate! His body is marked by rules... "A touch of divine brilliance appeared on the beautiful face of the priest of love and beauty. Looking at Murphy''s back, she said with a little gloating," this proud and stupid stupid woman! He claimed to be the embodiment of wisdom! I''ll see how you end up! "
The dark war chief priest looked up at the mermaid who was gloating in front of him, then lowered his head silently, but he didn''t know what to think.
The temple of leadership.
After entering the temple, Murphy saw the high priest kneeling in front of the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, praying.
"What''s the matter with you? Why are you back so early? " Murphy came a few steps closer, a little unsure.
Hearing this, the high priest raised her head slowly. Her face was pale, but she said, "nothing."
How could there be nothing?
There''s no blood on your face. It''s as pale as a piece of paper.
Murphy stepped up to the high priest and held her little hand. The high priest''s hand was cold, as if it had no breath of life. Murphy could not help whispering, "what''s the matter? Your hands are so cold
"Nothing. It''s just that I''m too tired to preside over the ceremony." By Murphy''s grasp, the high priest''s eyes seemed to recover a little divine color, but it was gone in a twinkling of an eye. Without leaving a trace, she drew out the hand that Murphy held. Her face was calm, and she said faintly, "I need a rest by myself."
"Go back, governor."
Tone is very light, a little cold, no longer have the original kind of gentle feeling.
Governor?
In Murphy''s memory, it seems that the high priest only called himself that at the beginning!
What happened to her?
Why are you angry with yourself?
It shouldn''t be.
Recently, I didn''t seem to do anything to make her angry, did I? Is it because of Helen, the priest of love?
"Then have a good rest." Murphy looked at the expressionless high priest in front of him. He was silent for a moment, then whispered.
With that, he turned and left.
I don''t know what it''s like. He always feels that the high priest is a little strange.
Because the high priest has always been a very gentle woman.
In Murphy''s memory, the most familiar is her shallow smile. Now the high priest''s expressionless face makes Murphy feel very strange. It''s like facing someone else.
Athena?
incorrect!
If it''s Athena, Murphy should be able to see the divine light that comes out of her when she comes.
Murphy could feel it in either Helen or the high priest.
Maybe the high priest is too tired today.
Murphy told himself so, but in his heart, there was a wave of anxiety, which could not be removed.
………………
The door of the temple closed slowly.
Murphy stood outside the temple and gazed at the high priest kneeling in front of the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, praying. I don''t know why he felt a dead loneliness. This made him feel pain like a knife twist in his heart!
Touch!
Murphy raised his hand and hit the marble sculpture in front of the temple with a hard blow.
"Don''t push me." Murphy looked coldly at the temple which symbolized the authority of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and said in a deep voice, "the more rational a person is, the more crazy he is when he loses his rationality!"
"I just want the high priest to stay with me, that''s all."
yes.
Murphy now doubted that it was not her who occupied the body of the high priest. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had done something to the high priest.
Like closing her mind.
In fact, after knowing that Athena could come to the high priest and dominate her consciousness. Murphy had this idea in mind, because according to the way Athena, the goddess of wisdom, acted in mythology. I''m afraid it''s not impossible!
Is it the high priest.
Three days later, I''ll have a try.
Because according to the original agreement with the high priest, every three days, she would come to hold a magic baptism for Murphy.
Until what she called "seeds" sprouted.
The temple of leadership.
After Murphy left, there was a gust of wind in front of the temple.
While the marble sculpture standing in front of the temple has a strange crack. The crack is from the inside of the marble sculpture, and has spread to the whole body of the sculpture.
"Bang!"
The marble sculpture in front of the temple suddenly broke apart and turned into fist sized pieces of gravel.
Several citizens who passed by the temple were stunned!
three months.
The high priest''s three months of divine baptism finally began to work on Murphy.
Before he knew it, a seed of power had already taken root and sprouted in his body.
This is a gift from the high priest.
………………
-------------------------------
Governor''s house.
Because of the high priest, Murphy with a gloomy face went straight back to the study.
He''s in a bad mood now. Because if the situation he pretends to be, then he has to make a difficult decision!
Between the high priest and Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
Murphy has to make a choice!
Study.
Murphy rubbed his forehead and frowned. He was thinking about the high priest.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is one of the three gods in Olympus. As the myth says, Murphy is worried that the hidden feelings between herself and the high priest will cause Athena''s displeasure. This kind of thing is likely to happen with Athena''s character, because her spokesperson in the mortal world must ensure her own purity!
The Olympus Gods are the most humanized gods.
Even Athena was first a woman, then a goddess of wisdom.
Otherwise there would be no Trojan War!
Creak!
I heard the door being pushed open.
"Didn''t I tell you not to disturb me if you have nothing important?" Murphy looked up and snapped.
The door of the study was gently pushed open, and then a thin figure came in. However, as soon as she stepped one foot into the room, she was startled by Murphy. She hesitated and didn''t know whether to enter or retreat.
But at this time, Murphy also saw who it was. He took a gentle breath and said, "it''s you."
"What can I do for you?"
The girl''s green eyes fell on Murphy. I don''t know why. When she opened the door, Murphy''s gloomy appearance made her feel a little scared! She looked carefully at Murphy''s face and asked softly, "what happened?"
"Nothing." Murphy shook his head and whispered.
As if disappointed, the girl sat in front of Murphy with her head down. In a real sense, she and Murphy have only met for the second time. She was not surprised that Murphy didn''t tell her what had happened to make him so angry.
Just a little lost in my heart.
………………
The girl did not answer.
Murphy didn''t speak either.
They stare at each other for a long time.
At last, the girl lowered her head as if to admit defeat. She took off her sword from her waist and handed it to Murphy.
"You want me to pull it?" Murphy touched his head. It was a headache.
Although my heart had expected this for a long time, I didn''t feel very well when I pulled this sword last time!
The tingling and burning feeling of the light in the spirit.
It''s uncomfortable!
The girl nodded her head and looked at Murphy pitifully.
