Chapter 281: Vivien's Brainless Powder
Led by Vivien, the crowd walked around a strange street of the Acropolis for a long time, and finally arrived at a strange space called the "shadow layer", in which the city took on a strange state frozen in the past, and the modern houses on both sides of the road were almost completely gone, replaced by stone buildings and strange sculptures that did not know hundreds of thousands of years ago, and most of the stone buildings were inclined from both sides of the street to the middle at a wonderful inclination. It looks like a rock beast ready to pounce. Hao Ren saw a house at the end of this strange street, which had been twisted to the point of not being shaped: it was an old street corner house that looked a little old, but still had a modern appearance, with red bricks and blue roofs, a total of two floors, and a large glass window and a signboard faΓ§ade on the basement floor, which looked like a shop.
Vivien's "old friend" was waiting in front of the shop, and her name was Hesperiusβa strange-sounding name.
Hao Ren glanced at the woman in black curiously, he was quite concerned about the "old friend" that Vivian could make with a strange vampire who was a loner. Hesperius was in her thirties, dressed in a conservative and gloomy black gown, and her appearance was mature and beautiful, but there was a strange gloomy temperament that made it difficult to focus on her face for too long. This strange woman had dark brown curls that almost down to her waist, and a strange jewel-decorated ribbon around her forehead, which was beautiful, but it was hard to imagine that anyone would still wear such an ancient style of jewelry: it looked as if it had been taken out of a religious fresco.
"You seem to have made quite a few new friends." Hesperius was also curiously looking at the strangers Vivien had brought, and the vigilance in his eyes flickered. "Hmm...... It's strange enough that you're willing to make friends, but I didn't expect to make so many friends at once. What's going on over the years that made you change sex? β
"It's nothing, it's just a mess," Vivien waved her hand absently and walked into the room, "I'm not here to gossip with you today, but I'm on business today." β
Hao Ren followed Vivien into the glass door behind Hesperith, and found that there were piles of debris that looked very old everywhere. The entire first floor looks like a shop, and from the corner of the staircase you can see a long counter with old table clocks, quirky masks, faded wood carvings, and other messy items on the counter and on the shelves behind it. Vivien frowned at the messy surroundings. The instinct of a housewife burned in her chest: "You mess...... Why is it that every time I see you, I am in a pile of garbage? What are you doing here? β
"Now? Now I have an antique shop," Hesperius picked up a few chairs from the corner of the room for everyone to sit down, and sat himself behind the counter, "I have to find something to do, or I'll get rusty." That little girl over there, don't mess with the things on the counter, that mask was worn by the Egyptian pharaoh back then. β
Lily quickly put back the weird and scary mask in her hand and stuck out her tongue at Hao Ren, while Vivien pointed at Hesperius: "By the way, what are you changing your name now?" What do I call you these days? β
Hesperith spread his hands: "The name I've been using lately is Christine." It will probably take a decade or two. β
"Christine?" Vivien's eyebrows twitched, "Followers of Christ? You have a hole in your head, did you give yourself such a name? Are you worthy of your ancestors? β
"The name is just a code name, how many years have my ancestors been dead, who cares about this." Hesperith waved his hand, "And I guess you're going to call me by my real name in the end, and that's what you're going to do." Bad memory is to death. β
Lily had been restlessly looking around at the furnishings of this strange antique shop, not knowing what to think of. Suddenly pointed at Hesperius and exclaimed, "Ah, yes! I mean, your name sounds so familiar! Hesperius, isn't this the name of the goddess of dusk in Greek mythology?! β
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, and Hesperius waved his hand indifferently: "It happened many years ago." Don't mention it again, now I just go to Athena's temple to get nostalgic and have to buy a ticket to get in, thinking about this only adds to the sadness. β
Lily slid down from her chair at once: "Ah! Really? β
Hao Ren didn't know much about Greek mythology, but at this time it was time to react to what was going on, he was stunned and looked at the woman in black in front of him who looked ordinary and had a somewhat gloomy and negative temperament, and suddenly realized that he was facing a real living history, a character who really came out of myths and legends, and suddenly felt a wave of emotion in his heart: In all fairness, Vivien can be regarded as living history, But this nanny vampire who cooks and cleans the house at home all day really doesn't give people a sense of history, raven 12345 is also a real goddess, but when does that pit goods who cook bowls and noodles look like a goddess? It's the one in front of him, although it's not as old as Vivian, and it's not as powerful as the raven, but it does make Hao Ren a little excited about facing historical figures, not to mention anything else, you see how long the name is......
Hao Ren has always felt that the ones with longer names are big people, you are like Simon Blowing Snow, you are like Einstein, you are like Aristotle, not to mention, even the most powerful person in his own family is Yizax? Goodman, except for Doudou, the least powerful is Hao Ren, and the lowest combat effectiveness is even a single word "roll", which is enough to explain the problem of "name length equals combat effectiveness". Hao Ren even felt that his initial blind trust in Raven 12345 was most likely based on the other party's string of numbers......
Nangong May looked at Hesperith incredulously: "I really didn't expect it...... Are you really the goddess of dusk in mythology? It's not that any of the 'gods' of your generation have been given ...... by the witchers."
"There are very few who have survived," Hesperius pointed to himself, "the brains are fast enough, the luck is good enough, and the strength is not enough to be targeted by the witchers, although there are not many people who have the above three points at the same time, but there are still a small number of people who survive, and then they are scattered all over the world incognito, and now I don't know how many people are still alive, anyway, I am the only one on the Greek side." Saying...... Haven't you introduced yourself yet? β
Hao Ren then remembered that after entering the door, he patronized and looked around curiously, and listened to Vivian and Hesperius talking, and forgot to introduce his name, but before he could speak, Vivien stood up first: "I'll come - this is Hao Ren, the leader of our gang, you just treat him as a human wizard." This is Yitzax, the ...... of the Demon Clan The last one is Lily, Hush...... Alas, werewolves. β
Lily suddenly jumped up: "Why are you sighing!" You just sighed, didn't you?! β
Hesperius looked at Hao Ren in surprise, and then at Vivian: "Team leader? You're even in a group with someone? And it's still a follower? Are you finally hungry and sucking the blood of the mentally ill? β
"Don't interrupt, I'm glad you take care of it," Vivien waved vigorously, "I'm here to ask you about the ruinβwhat's going on?" Are you sure it's a gateway to the Old Kingdom? β
"The ruins were found by the little girl of Heatherana, but the Lucas family also got involved, and now the two families are pulling back, but they have cooperated before, and now the two of them are forced to compromise with each other," Hesperius explained, "The entrance to the ruins is in the Parthenon, and a spatial distortion point can lead to the inside of the ruins, but opening it requires two relics, the relics are currently in the hands of the Hethanna and Lucas families, if you want to go to the ruins to see ...... Inevitably, you have to deal with the two of them. As for the nature of the ruins...... I don't know much about this, after all, I haven't been in it yet, but according to the cheerful descriptions of Hethana's boys, you can see the temple facilities still in operation, and the air is filled with a rich primordial power that can only be found in the age of mythology, which is really reminiscent of the content of the prophecy of the Day of the Return. β
Hao Ren believed more and more in his heart that there was a gate to the dream plane in the ruins, and he couldn't help but lean forward a little: "How big are the ruins?" Have you found a spatial crack or something like that leads to some mysterious place? Have you ever met someone inside? β
"You seem to know a lot about ruins?" Hesperith glanced at Hao Ren strangely, "But there doesn't seem to be anything you said, the specific size of the ruins is not clear, but no one has seen that there is a space door other than the entrance, let alone others, who can live in it for ten thousand years?" Do you eat stones? β
Vivien's face was a little strange: "Hethana...... You really want to meet that troublesome ghost......"
"What, you have a vendetta against that vampire named Hethiana?" Hao Ren asked strangely.
Vivien opened her mouth and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a fluttering sound of bats sweeping from outside the antique store, and then a sharp and energetic voice came in: "Is it Lord Vivian?" Is Vivian-sama really here!? I'm Hethiana! I'm coming for you! β
