v4 Chapter 815 - Helplessness and choice
In Roma, there are not too many people who know Seven Star City, after all, the information of this era is so blocked.
But everyone who has been to Seven Star City knows that it is a prosperous and happy city.
The most prosperous places in Qixing City are Xianxing Mountain and Weixing Mountain. The temples of the Twelve Lord Gods, Twelve Titans and various primitive gods are built on the two mountains. The six manors of the Claudesai family are also built on these two mountains.
Beneath the two mountains is a vast plain, where there are large tracts of farmland, large granaries, and neat houses of farmers.
Touxing Mountain is the site of the craftsmen. The transportation here is the most convenient. There are endless carts and horses to transport ore and coke. The craftsmen have a high status in Seven Star City. Their houses are neatly arranged at the foot of the mountain, and the flag of Hephaestus is proudly hung in front of each house.
There are many merchants living on the left-wing mountain. They have ensured the supply channels of Qixing Mountain and are also an important source of information.
On the right-wing mountain, there is a school, a library, a grand theater, and an arena. Manda has restored the ancient traditions. He encouraged civilians to receive better education, learn more knowledge, and have a richer life. He lives in Seven Star City. In addition to survival, people can also have other pursuits.
The two Yushan Mountains on the left and right are the boundaries of warriors, and outstanding men will be trained on the two mountains to become the elite of the elite, becoming the strongest soldiers in the Roma country and even the entire southwestern region.
The prosperity here is not the same as the royal capital, and it is not as glamorous as the royal capital in appearance.
In the capital city, for most people, prosperity and happiness are contradictory. Wang is very prosperous, but it is too difficult to live a happy life in the capital city.
But Seven Star City is different. Its prosperity and happiness are accompanied by it. When there is a majestic building in the city, whether it is a school or a temple, all the people will spontaneously go to the tavern to celebrate, because they know that happiness is coming. Because they know that happiness belongs to them.
Seven Star City has always been the pride of Manda, but this happy city is now in trouble. It is very difficult to move more than 200,000 happy people to underground caves and caves, especially in the first three of the new year. sky.
The Claudesai family split up, and Stanley was in charge of the soldiers in the two Yushan Mountains. He went the latest and returned the earliest. Because the soldiers were very obedient, they all got into the cave with an order.
Kunta went to Youyi Mountain with illness. Fortunately, the students were very reasonable and helped Kunta with a lot of things. In less than two days, all the residents of Youyi Mountain entered the cave.
The businessmen in Zuoyi Mountain were also easy to talk. Manda went there and told them that the disaster was coming. Some people entered the cave, and some temporarily left Seven Star City for business reasons.
The most difficult group of people is actually the craftsmen and farmers who value Manda the most.
The poet tried to persuade for a day, and only less than 20% of the craftsmen were willing to take refuge in the cave.
Silva and Paviu broke their lips, but they met with strong resistance from the farmers:
“I don’t believe in disasters, what crimes have we committed? Why do gods send disasters in the New Year?”
“I go to the temple to offer sacrifices every month. Even if the gods come down with disasters, they will bypass the gate of my house. I don’t want to squeeze in a stinking hole for the New Year.”
Manda has always thought that the people of Qixing Mountain are very pious to the gods. Now it seems that their piousness has a prerequisite.
If the gods bring good news, such as harvesting, making money, having children, healing from illness… In this case, they are very religious to the gods.
If the gods bring bad news, their trust in the gods will not be so high, and human instincts will hope that things will develop in a better direction.
Since he didn’t believe in the gods, he could only believe in force. The next day, Manda ordered that he refused to go to the cave for shelter that day, and he was punished heavily until he was put to death.
Commands are more useful than beliefs. Nearly 90% of the craftsmen went to the burrow, and the remaining 10% were tricked into the hunting net by Guatle and caught in the burrow.
Forty% of the farmers went there, and the remaining 60% were not unwilling to go to the burrows, but the burrows and caves were filled up. In addition to the people, there was also a large amount of food and water reserves.
Fortunately, Manda had been prepared. He built refuges in the villages around Qixing Mountain, where he could hide these farmers for a few days.
But it is much harder to let these renegades leave their own land than to send them to a burrow, because this threatens their most basic sense of security.
“Let me go to hide, I must bring livestock and food, otherwise I won’t go anywhere!”
“The land is my life, even if the gods appear in front of me, don’t try to drive me away from the land!”
“You can let me go, you have to tell me when the disaster will end!”
Manda didn’t know when the disaster would end, and Lasius did not give an answer.
He tried every means to buy it with money, scared by a knife, and let Luoshan lead the girls to twist their waists to attract. In the end, 30% of the farmers left Seven Star City, and the remaining 30% refused to leave.
In desperation, Manda gave up on them and asked Silva to send them the last urge to stay in the house not to come out on the first day of the new year.
…
Hermes also gave the same order to the gods, staying in the barrier and not coming out. He swallowed a large number of pearls of faith, and on New Year’s Eve, he went to fight the Lord of God’s Punishment alone.
When he was leaving, he once again gave Olympia Mountain to God Pan. This was the first time Hermes spoke to Pan after the “true and false clone” incident.
“It’s still the old rule. I don’t need to say more. If I live, you have to make sure that I can come back smoothly. If I die, you have to make sure that they can leave safely.”
Hermes simply exhorted these two sentences.
Pan Shen repeatedly warned himself not to speak, not to speak, but he still couldn’t hold back it.
“Father, we have a better solution. In fact, we can give Madsa to each other…”
Hermes looked at Shen Pan with a smile, Sen Han’s murderous aura made Pan Shen dare not make a sound.
“I still like the way you talk a little.” Hermes looked at God Pan, looked at the gods, passed through the barrier through the pinhole, and stood outside Olympia.
Aphrodite looked at Athena, and the two of them barely talked, but today Aphrodite couldn’t help but want to ask: “Pan is right! It’s the one who returned Madsa to the Lord of God’s Punishment. With the right choice, Madsa has little use value.”
Athena smiled and lowered her voice: “Pan is right, but the Lord of the gods sometimes has to make the wrong choice, because he has no room for concession.”
“Zeus gave in countless times when he was in power.”
“Zeus gave way, but he also fought. He will not let the enemy provoke him at the door of his house.”
“Hermes also fought!”
“This is different. Zeus is the son of Cronus and Rhea. Hermes is the son of Zeus and the forest nymph. Zeus overthrew the former king and became the lord of the gods. Hermes took advantage of Zeus to sink. Mian ascended the throne, Zeus left countless brilliant deeds in the mortal world, Hermes only left some interesting stories, the name of Zeus represents the majesty of the king, and the name of Hermes represents the speculators The cunning,
It’s not that the elder brother is not good enough, but compared with the gods and kings of the past, his origin is too humble. The first month of the new year belongs to him. This is the order he established by himself. If he is insulted tonight, he is insulted at the door of his house. , He will lose the qualification to continue to be the Lord of the Gods. “
“But what’s the point of doing this?” Aphrodite kept shaking his head, “He can’t defeat the Lord of God’s Punishment. You also know how powerful the Lord of God’s Punishment is.”
“You don’t have to be so pessimistic,” Athena lowered her voice again, “Madesa is just a pseudo-god transformed from a slate. His value is not enough for the Lord of God’s Punishment to fight to death.”
“The Lord of God’s Punishment does not need to fight to death, he has the certainty to defeat Hermes.”
Athena smiled and said, “Don’t despise your brother too much. He is stronger than you think. I believe that my brother has already figured out the way to deal with it. Even if there is an accident, I will take you out of here safely.”
“It’s not your turn!” Aphrodite gritted his teeth. “I won’t have your turn if I’m alive. Even if I die, there is Pan here. Hermes is the master of Olympia, and I will never give it to you. Your chance to usurp the throne!”
“With this strength, it’s better to leave it to the Lord of the gods. If your brother can’t support it, will you help him fight? And Pan…Where did Pan go?” Athena looked around, but couldn’t find Pan. .
A blue cloud floated in the distance, and Hermes greeted him.
The Lord of God’s Punishment appeared in the clouds and said to Hermes with his back hand: “I always thought you were very smart, but you made a stupid decision tonight.”
“The same words will be given to you,” Hermes smiled. “Madesa is just a tool you made. You don’t need to fight for him. Olympia is no longer what it used to be. You really feel confident that you will win. ?”
The Lord of God’s Punishment stared at Hermes, the word “tool” seemed to touch his nerves.
“Madesa has been on Olympia for so many days~www.mtlnovel.com~ You have asked what you should ask, and you should have said everything he knows. What use is there for you to keep him?”
“It’s really useless. For a better time, I will return him to you.”
“Now is the best time and the last chance I will give you.”
“For me, this timing is terrible. I can’t grasp the opportunity you gave.”
After a moment of silence, the Lord of God’s Punishment nodded to Hermes: “You are irritating me.”
…
Pan Shen came to the dungeon, repelled the guards, and unlocked Madsa’s shackles.
Madsa yelled angrily; “What do you want to do?”
“Don’t speak, follow me!” Pan Shen took Madsa to the dungeon exit, and suddenly a nymph came forward and stopped Pan Shen said: “The Lord of the gods has an order, no one can… …”
Shen Pan stunned Nymph, and said softly: “Sleep well, this has nothing to do with you.”
