Chapter 1384 The glory is no longer the narrow road of the enemy
In the world of great controversy, this is an appearance that all intelligent people in this world can see.
The world has been in turmoil since the beginning of the civil strife in the United States. The once stable international situation is also constantly changing. Some people have become stronger, and naturally some people have become weaker. The strong get more, while the weak can only be eliminated in the increasingly fierce competition. There's an element of strength and there's an element of luck. The United Kingdom, Japan, and Egypt are examples of bad luck.
With such a lesson in the past, Wakanda naturally does not want to step into such a footsteps. Not just Wakanda, but any country at the bottom of the pack is not willing to be eliminated in such a competition. They are all doing their own efforts, and they are all trying to maintain their status and improve their strength by all means. This is the right thing to do, but it is also a futile effort.
Because this world is no longer a world where results can be obtained by mere hard work. In this world, they are just duckweed drifting with the tide, and the only ones who can really manipulate the direction of the flow are those big countries and those forces that can stir up the wind and rain.
Victor may not have had such strength before, but now that he has become the Lord of Hell, he obviously has such a status. He has been promoted to a special class. And this also allows him to clearly feel that the turmoil from current events is coming to him.
Israel, Syria, Turkey and Greece. This was his current sphere of influence, and within that sphere of influence, he could clearly sense that someone was investigating the movements of the forces of Hell that he controlled.
This is a group of forces, because they are not operating in one country, but in all countries. Moreover, they are very professional. Because they always get something special. In some remote areas, some evil spirits and demons that have been planted there have completely lost contact with him. And how they disappeared, Victor doesn't have to think about it to know, I'm afraid it has something to do with this gang of forces.
Faced with such a situation, it is not difficult for Victor to guess that it is the actions of the human government against the forces of hell. But what he didn't expect was that the human side would respond so quickly. His plan hadn't been fully unfolded yet, so he didn't want these little bugs to ruin his good deeds at all. And seeing these guys who suddenly inserted in seemed to be peeling back into the cocoon, little by little, into his plan. He immediately made up his mind that he must not let this guy continue.
But how? Subconsciously wanting those cunning devils to solve this problem, he had already dispelled this idea after thinking carefully for a while. He knew that human beings were able to do this, probably because they had found experts in this area. The forces of Hell may sound powerful, but humans are not easy to mess with. With a population of billions and thousands of years of history, there must be a group of guys who specialize in hell. Now that the human government has found them, the use of the devil will only be a simple delivery of food. And if they know a little bit about their plan from the mouths of these devils, then it is impossible to say what incalculable consequences will be had on his overall arrangement.
At this time, he didn't want to see such a thing happen. So he dismissed the idea, and he had already made up his mind. It was decided to take matters into their own hands.
It's not just that he's the Lord of Hell, a man who takes this position temporarily as a human being. More often than not, he became interested in those so-called specialists. There weren't many people in the human race who could target evil spirits and demons, so he was eager to see what kind of guy had messed up with his plans.
Plan and then act, this is Victor's usual temper. However, in this matter, he did not intend to follow his usual temper. First, because he is no longer the ordinary person he used to be, he doesn't need to worry about so many things. The second is that as the lord of hell, he personally handled this matter, which was completely overkill, and he killed chickens with a knife. He has a lot of confidence to deal with it, so naturally, there is no need to do all the preparation work in advance.
He could go at any time, and he did. After changing into normal clothes, he had already followed Mephisto's original appearance, and disappeared into the underground caverns of the Dead Sea with a staff of civilization. And when he reappeared, he was already in Athens, a small city on the edge of the Mediterranean.
Athens, is a city that will not be forgotten by anyone who knows history. Because in a way, it can be considered a representative of the entire Mediterranean civilization, the forerunner of the entire European culture. Those familiar myths and legends have nothing to do with this city. It can even be said that the origin of the entire Western civilization can be said to have come from here.
Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Perikles, these were all famous thinkers and philosophers of the Athenian era. Many of their writings have been handed down to the present day and have made indelible contributions to the development of human civilization as a whole. It is not an exaggeration to describe Athens in such a word. But if you think Athens is a big city, then you are very wrong.
The splendor of Athens exists only in the past, not in the present. It can be said that since the Romans conquered Athens, this cradle of European civilization has never been in splendor. It can only serve as a symbol in people's impressions, or become a vassal of a certain power. In such a situation, Athens has no possibility of becoming a big city at all. This is especially true if the Greek government has been dissolved due to bankruptcy.
It can be said that Athens is only a small city with a unique style at best. Even industrialization has been completely removed, and the only value may be to be visited and toured.
It was the first time for Victor to come to Athens, so instead of looking for those who might ruin his plans, he visited the city with an ancient civilization with a sense of admiration.
Although ancient Greece is the cradle of Western civilization, in fact, it has not left much to commemorate and admire. A large part of this was caused by the systematic destruction of the Christian movement against polytheism in the Middle Ages. Of course, the transformation and reuse of ancient Greek architecture in the ancient Roman Empire is also a key reason. Today, there are only twenty or thirty ancient Greek relics that can be admired by modern people. Among them, there are even fewer that can make people admire the style of Greek civilization.
In addition to the ruins of the castle, which have almost become a pile of rubble, only the temple and the famous Colosseum are worth visiting. So it only took a day or so, and Victor had already visited all these ruins. After visiting these ruins, Victor's only impression was probably disappointment.
This disappointment is not for these relics, but for the country of Greece. Think about it, a great country can't even preserve its own civilization, and can only let other forces do power and abuse here. What a sad thing to do. And there is only one reason why it has fallen to this point, and that is that it has failed.
Isn't it a normal thing for a loser to lose everything? It's just that in the face of this normal thing, his heart is inevitably awakened. He admonished himself that he could not be a loser no matter what, he could only be the one who won and could only be the one who had the last laugh. Because only in this way can he keep what he has now, and only in this way can he have more.
This thought took over his thoughts, and he inevitably became a little distracted. And when he came back to his senses, he found that the whole ancient city had slowly quieted down.
This is not for any particular reason. Rather, it was just after noon, and the Greeks began their custom of taking a nap.
There is one thing about the Greeks that has always been criticized. That's their laziness. This is not a matter of one person, but of an entire country. Take, for example, the life of an ordinary Greek. When they wake up in the morning, they spend about an hour or two dressing up, leaving the house at eight o'clock, and then starting their normal work at nine. At the beginning of work, they will first adjust a cup of coffee, chat with colleagues and friends, and fart for a while, and then officially start work.
Work until noon and have a lunch. Most Greeks take a nap. The nap time usually starts at 2 p.m. and ends at 6 p.m. During this time, most of the shops and even banks will be listed for a break. Until the evening. In the evening, it is the time of formal rest, so according to this calculation, the working hours of an ordinary Greek are only five hours from nine in the morning to two in the afternoon. That's it, you also have to remove the time between them to eat lunch and chat and fart. So, really calculated, a normal person's working hours may only be about four hours a day.
Working four hours a day, not as long as napping. This is something that many people dream of. But this is the norm in Greece. And in the face of this normality, Victor doesn't know what others think. Anyway, he himself was a little scoffing.
How can a country that does not even know how hard work and hard work can succeed. If they succeed, it's ridiculous.
This was just a momentary emotion, and it didn't make Victor put much energy into it. And after such a sigh, he found a random public seat and began to enjoy the Mediterranean sun.
Empty city, quiet streets. Such an environment is indeed a good place for him to relax after spending a long time in hell. It's just that the good times don't last long. Soon, that calm was shattered. Because at this time, a group of people suddenly appeared in the street, and looked hurried busy.
Greek? No! Noticing the group's Victor's brow, he noticed something unusual. And when he recognized the identities of these people, he couldn't help but be angry.
This is really a narrow road.
