As early as when Chu Hao and others left the beach, the Samsara Army had already sent personnel to enter Argos City. They changed into linen clothes from the European Middle Ages and defiled themselves. They looked no different from the humans in this world. Each of these personnel is proficient in the ability to detect spies. In just a few days, a lot of intelligence information has been obtained without almost anyone noticing.
This is a world where humans and gods coexist. The kingdom of gods does not leave the material world. You can even physically reach the kingdom of gods by just walking and climbing. Therefore, conflicts naturally arise between gods and humans due to contact. , if the weather was good, humans would be grateful for God's gifts and offer sacrifices and devotion. However, as the famine intensified, humans began to doubt God, and God took a tougher stance and demanded more sacrifices and faith. , the conflict broke out
This is the contradiction between man and god. Similarly, the contradiction between man and man still exists. As Chu Hao expected, in this ancient society, the nobles were at the top, soldiers and landowners were in the middle, and the vast majority The people are at the bottom of the pyramid. When a famine occurs, the nobles still enjoy the same luxurious life as usual, which leads to more intense conflicts between classes. This is simply a dynamite barrel that can be detonated at any time, depending on who Come and light it up.
In addition, some gossip, as well as the nearby terrain, the size of the country, the approximate population, the number of gods, and even the cultural atmosphere of the area, etc., were also explored by these professional spies, and there were even no traces at all. Anyone who notices their presence has completed the most basic reconnaissance investigation.
The reason why Chu Hao decided to go to Argos first was that, in addition to following the unfolding of the plot and starting the layout, he also found something beneficial to himself in this information, that is, the existence of the legendary sages in this world.
Among the people, or civilization, of this world, because there are gods, and they are real and true existences that can be seen and occasionally come into contact with, they are not just totem idol-like beliefs, so the civilization of this world is There is a kind of reverence and affirmation for the power beyond human beings, which is to affirm its real existence and not just illusion.
In fact, there are races that use magic in the Gobi desert, and there are many fantasy races that coexist with humans in this world. People have no reason not to believe in these supernatural powers. Among these countless supernatural powers, the most popular ones are What is admired is not the gods or the demigods born from gods and humans. What is really praised and praised by people is the so-called sage.
The legends of sages have endured in the civilizations of this world. In fact, they are similar to those heroes, epics, or the images of legendary masters. They are similar to figures like Zuo Ci during the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history. Or there are figures like Merlin, the mentor of King Arthur in the legend of England. They may be fewer in number than the gods, but they are special figures respected by everyone from the lowest level of the people to the highest level of kings.
Regardless of appearance, age and gender, one of the first things a sage is is that he has extensive knowledge. He knows almost astronomy, human affairs, and geography. It can be said that in the human imagination of this world, a sage should be such a person. Humanoid Library, so it is natural that the age of the sage should be the kind of gray-haired one, preferably the one who is out of breath when walking. In fact, Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings fits this image very well.
The second thing is that even though the sages are so old that they can’t even walk, sages are definitely very powerful creatures. Yes, they can no longer be regarded as human beings. They have the power of magic and can easily kill an army. , they have the power to change matter, and they can even foresee the future
In short, in human legends, the so-called sages are omnipotent characters who can almost create miracles. In some oral epics, even the gods ask for sages, but Just imagine what the sage means in the consciousness of people in this world.
Chu Hao decided to become a sage. He was sure, or in other words, he was actually a sage to people in this world. He wanted knowledge, strength, and could predict the future. In contrast, , I am afraid that if there is a sage in this world, he may not be as good as him.
The only shortcoming is age, but it can also be said that he has immortality, or he can just make it up to be hundreds of years old. As long as he has power, age is not the most important thing. Besides, his goal is not this human country. More lies in the male protagonist
When Chu Hao was wearing a white robe and holding an oak cane in one hand, he seemed to be walking towards the city gate leisurely. Next to him, there were Zhang Heng and three other accompanying soldiers, all dressed accordingly. The only difference between the attire of the era is that Zhang Heng was dressed as an archer, while the other three soldiers were dressed as fully armed melee warriors.
Such five people walked to the city gate. In addition to the two classical soldiers in the ancient Greek style, there were many civilians who were worse than beggars in the eyes of modern people sitting at the city gate. Seeing these five people Although they are dressed almost the same as them, their spirit is completely different from them. This is actually very simple. Just like when we look at old photos from the past few decades, we always feel that those people seem to be very rustic. This is the truth. , this is still only a few decades. For Chu Hao, Zhang Heng and others, the age gap with these people is even greater, so the gap in spiritual temperament between them is even greater.
When Chu Hao and others approached, the two soldiers were still in a daze, but the civilians behind them stood up and looked at the five people curiously. They were still whispering and discussing this. Which noble family did the five people belong to? At the same time, Chu Hao did not hesitate at all, walked directly to the two soldiers, and said directly to them: Tell your king, just say that Chu Hao, the sage of the wilderness, wants to see me, and I am here to help. Yours.
At this time, judging from the plot, Hades has already visited the city and issued his threat that he will release the Kraken during the solar eclipse in the near future. At that time, the entire city will be destroyed, and People in the entire city should obviously know about this situation, so fear, doomsday, and escape all appeared. Chu Hao took advantage of this opportunity to obtain his status as a sage.
Sure enough, when Chu Hao's words came out, the two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately burst into ecstasy. They actually abandoned Chu Hao immediately, rushed directly through the crowd of civilians, and ran towards the palace in the city. Go, cheering and shouting while running, a sage is coming, a sage is coming. This situation made Chu Hao and others sweat on their foreheads. They were ancient people who had no sense of confidentiality.
But this was fine. Chu Hao continued to maintain his majestic and solemn expression, holding his cane, looking at the city gate as if an old man had seen through the vicissitudes of life. After being stunned for a while, many of the civilians let out a Of course, there were cheers, but there were also many people who looked suspicious and were still whispering there. Of course, the crowd gathered at the gate of the city was getting larger and larger, and even Chu Hao saw the person who appeared in the plot. Two hunter brothers.
Not long after, a group of soldiers came hurriedly with more than a dozen nobles. The leader was an old man, wearing a king's crown that symbolized his status. Before the people came close, the voice had already been passed over and said: Sage. , Your Excellency Sage, welcome to the great Argos, the most glorious city.
As he got closer, the king had already seen Chu Hao and others. It was obvious that Chu Hao's dress was that of the legendary sages. Although the king had obviously never seen the sages who appeared in the epics in his life, there was nothing about it. The epics of sages have been passed down through the ages. It is impossible for him not to know about his image, abilities, achievements, etc., but no sage has ever been so young.
Chu Hao smiled slightly. He reached out with one hand, and an invisible force suddenly surged forward, immediately blocking the group of people behind the king. This force was huge but gentle, and it just forced them to stop, unable to take a single step. Getting close, but not hurting them.
The king obviously noticed something strange. When he looked back, his expression immediately showed surprise and naturalness. When he looked back again, Chu Hao had already walked towards him step by step. As he walked, he said: I am a sage who lives in seclusion in the wilderness. As early as your I have already begun to live in seclusion when I was a great-grandfather, so don’t judge the age of a sage by his appearance, that is just deceiving your eyes.
The king immediately lowered his head slightly with respect, and then said: Dear Sage Chu Hao, please come with me. I will entertain you in the hall. Your arrival will definitely save my country and this city. , Rejoice, soldiers, rejoice, subjects, our Argos is saved.
The invisible force just now really shocked the soldiers, nobles and civilians. Although they still had a little doubt about Chu Hao's identity as a sage, it did not affect their excitement for the arrival of hope. Suddenly, cheers spread all over the place. The city is like the grandest festival
But Chu Hao still maintained his old man's demeanor, followed the king naturally and casually, and slowly walked towards the palace.
