The environment deep in the dense forest is almost primitive. There is almost no "road" in the rugged forest land, and there are signs of undeveloped everywhere. Such a situation makes Hao Ren wonder whether such an environment is real. There will be settlements of modern humans. And Hesperis' reply confirmed Hao Ren's question:
"It's been three centuries since I last visited this place, and it was already a forgotten ghost place back then."
"Three centuries? You haven't confirmed the life and death of that attendant for three hundred years?" Vivienne looked at Hesperis in surprise, "Is he really still living in seclusion here?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure, but the demon hunters haven't found this hermitage in the past three centuries, so there's a high possibility that that guy is still here," Hesperis led the way. He said, "Human colonies may perish, but the hermits will stay instead, because the extinct human towns are an excellent camouflage. Many old guys who survived the age of myth and lived alone chose to live near various ruins. Anjia, although life will become very inconvenient because of this, but it can escape the eyes of the demon hunter."
"What's the name of that 'attendant'?" Hao Ren discovered that until now he still didn't know the name of the target person, the Olympian who survived from the age of mythology and defeated double-digit demon hunters with ancient artifacts. The "Protoss" of Sri Lanka still don't even have a name.
Hesperis paused slightly: "He used to be called Hercules."
Hao Ren said casually, but he suddenly realized after taking two steps forward: "Wait a minute, what's your name?!"
This time, it was Lily next to her who spoke: "She said her name was Hercules, and the transliteration is also called Hercules."
"Damn it, it's him?!" Hao Renwan didn't expect that the person who had been called the "attendant" would be such a well-known figure. "The demigod hero in the ancient Greek legend? The one who challenged the Twelve Trials?" ? That seems to be a big bully, how come he became a servant of Zeus?"
"Why can't a hybrid of Olympians and humans on Earth be Zeus' attendant?" Hesperis tilted his head slightly, "Ah, he is indeed very famous. Great fame, many of the 'gods' on Mount Olympus are very jealous of him. Later he was led to the mountain, Zeus personally gave him the identity, and he officially became the 'gods' of Olympus He is now a member of Zeus, because there is no extra 'divine position' to entrust, so he has been standing by Zeus's side for a long time-so it is not wrong for the demon hunter to register him as Zeus' attendant."
Seeing that Hao Ren was still a little confused, Vivian reminded him next to him: "There are always some deviations between real history and myths and legends. But to be honest, I'm also a little surprised."
"It's reasonable for a fierce man like Hercules to survive," Lily rubbed her chin and muttered, "If he is really an ordinary attendant, he may not be able to explode much fighting power with a divine weapon. In the final analysis, it has to be psychological The quality is excellent. It is much more reasonable to connect many things like this. When Mount Olympus was about to collapse, it was evacuated with ancient artifacts and a large number of research materials. I am afraid that this was specially entrusted by Zeus."
Hesperis nodded slightly, and mentioned another matter: "By the way, like many survivors, Hercules didn't use his real name in front of ordinary people. The last pseudonym he used was 'Fair Nan', if he hasn't moved all these years, maybe he's still using that name..."
Before she finished speaking, a small voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Hiss—"
"What..." Hesperis exclaimed subconsciously, and just as he turned his head, he saw a group of black and red energy arrows approaching rapidly in his sight, and then slapped himself on the face, "Wow! What is this?!"
The small energy arrow didn't cause any damage at all. After Hesperis was taken aback, he saw that it was a palm-sized Vivienne flying crookedly beside him, doing harm to him while flying. She showed all kinds of unintimidating vicious looks, and she was stunned immediately: "Vivian? Your little bat..."
"This is different from Hessiana," Vivienne was about to say why this little thing suddenly woke up, but she quickly explained, "This is what I split!!"
Immediately, Hesperis looked at Vivienne even more strangely than before: "Split? Why are you developing new functions?"
At this time, the little evil body is still dancing and firing energy arrows at Hesperis' face, and dubbing: "Hiss—scared!! Papa!"
Hao Ren quickly grabbed the little one back, took out a glass canning jar from the portable space and stuffed her in: "Good guy, why did you suddenly wake up when you were so dizzy just now? Uh, Hess Perris, that's a bit of a hassle to explain so can you pretend you didn't see her? Also, Vivienne's split isn't a new feature, she's always been..."
Hesperis: "?"
After a lot of tossing, the chaos caused by the little one finally subsided. Hesperis was still at a loss as to what happened, but she also knew that Vivienne was a guy full of secrets, so she didn't ask too much in the end. It's just that the sight still drifts to the canning bottle in Hao Ren's hand from time to time: the little Vivian dances and dances angrily in it, constantly shooting energy arrows at the surrounding glass walls, just like a manic little devil, this scene is so fucking amazing Already...
Vivian embarrassedly diverted the attention of her old friend: "Ahem, we should be almost there."
"Just ahead..." Hesperis looked up, his eyes suddenly a little strange, "Huh? It's still there?"
Through the layers of trees in front, some intermittent cooking smoke and the spiers of wooden houses can be faintly seen. Although there is still a distance, a human village can already be seen.
Hao Ren was as surprised as Hesperis: "This village hasn't disappeared."
Vivienne couldn't help but glanced at the surrounding primitive dense forest, and a strange feeling came to her mind: "Something is not right, look around, the forest around the village should not look like this, it seems that there has been no human activity at all."
Things related to those ancient supernatural creatures always seem extraordinarily weird. Obviously, in the depths of this forest, some kind of supernatural power is also subtly at work. A hidden place that has been forgotten three centuries ago Shi Xiaocun still exists today, and there are no roads connecting the village with the outside world, which made Hao Ren raise his vigilance.
"Unstable space readings can be detected nearby, but no traps have been found yet." The data terminal immediately reported.
After confirming the situation around the village, the group crossed the forest and stepped into the village that had been isolated from the world for centuries.
A clearing was artificially cleared in the forest, and the small village was surrounded by a low wooden fence that was only half the height of a person. It was doubtful how much protection this broken and low wooden fence could play. The function is only to mark the boundaries of the village, not to defend against wild animals in the forest. In the village, quite old wooden houses can be seen in scattered distribution. The uneven building layout shows that this place has never been planned, and between the houses are roads paved with gravel and bricks, and the roads are narrow and potholed. , winding, it seems that the convenience of transportation has not been considered at all, but just to connect the houses in the village together.
Even by the eyes of three centuries ago, this is a terrible place.
Hao Ren thought that the most surprising part here was not the houses, but the villagers.
There are really villagers here. Some people live in this closed, old, musty and corrupt place. They wear rough clothes that cannot tell the age, have weather-beaten appearance and numb expressions. They are seeing Immediately after the stranger appeared, he surrounded him curiously, pointing at Hao Ren and his party from a distance, without any manners.
It's really hard to believe that there are such a group of people living in the depths of the forest. They seem to be completely separated from the outside world.
"This place is exactly the same as the last time I came three hundred years ago," Hesperis whispered in surprise, "except for this wall... there was no such thing back then."
Lily poked Hao Ren's arm: "Someone is walking towards us."
The vulgar villagers who were watching from a distance separated to the two sides. An old man with a slightly neat dress and a smile on his face walked over with a cane. Ren, greeted in French with a serious dialect: "Ah, guest, there have been no visitors for many years. Friends from afar, please come in and have a rest. Can I help you?" (To be continued~^~)
