Under the leadership of Vivienne, the people circled for a long time in a strange street of the Acropolis, and finally arrived at a strange space called "Shadow Interlayer". A strange state of being frozen in the past, the modern houses on both sides of the road have almost completely disappeared, replaced by stone buildings and strange sculptures hundreds of thousands of years ago, and most of the stone buildings are built in a kind of The wonderful inclination slopes from both sides of the street to the middle, like a rock beast ready to pounce. Hao Ren saw a house at the end of this treacherous street that had been distorted beyond shape: it looked old, but still had a modern appearance. It had red bricks and a blue roof. There are large glass windows and a facade with signs on the basement floor, which looks like a shop.
The "old friend" Vivienne was looking for was standing in front of the store and waiting for everyone. Her name was Hesperis—a name that sounded a bit strange.
Hao Ren looked at the woman in black curiously. He cared a lot about Vivian, an "old friend" that even a strange vampire could make with. Hesperis is about thirty years old, wearing a conservative and gloomy long black dress, her appearance is mature and beautiful, but a strange gloomy temperament makes it difficult to focus on her face for too long time. This strange-looking woman had dark brown curly hair that fell almost to her waist, and a strange, jeweled sash around her forehead, a beautiful sash, but it's hard to imagine anyone doing it today. Ancient jewelry is worn: it looks as if it has been taken out of a religious mural.
"You seem to have made a lot of new friends." Hesperis also looked curiously at the strangers brought by Vivienne, and the vigilance in his eyes flashed away, "Well... you're willing to make friends in the first place. It's strange enough, and I didn't expect to pay so much at once. Why, what happened in these years that made you change your sex?"
"It's nothing, just living in a daze," Vivienne waved her hands nonchalantly and walked into the room. "I'm not here to gossip with you today, but I have business today."
Hao Ren followed Vivienne into the glass door behind Hesperis, and found old-looking sundries piled up everywhere. The whole first floor looks like a shop indeed. From the distance from the stairs to the corner, there is a long counter with old clocks, weird masks and faded wood carvings on the counter and on the shelf behind it. and other gibberish. Vivienne looked at the messy environment here with a frown, and the housewife's instinct was burning in her chest: "You are a mess... why every time I see you, you are in a pile of garbage? What are you doing here? "
"Now? Now I'm opening an antique shop," Hesperis found a few chairs from a corner of the room for everyone to sit down, while he sat behind the counter. "Always find something to do, or your body will rust. That little girl over there, don't mess with the things on the counter. That mask was worn by the Egyptian Pharaoh back then."
Lily quickly put back the weird and scary mask in her hands, stuck out her tongue at Hao Ren, and Vivian pointed at Hesperis: "By the way, what did you change your name now? How do I call you these days?" ?”
Hesperis spread his hands: "The name I'm using recently is Christine, and it will probably be used for ten or twenty years."
"Kristen?" Vivian's eyebrows trembled. "A follower of Christ? Are you out of your mind and gave yourself such a name? Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
"The name is just a code name, my ancestors have been dead for many years, who cares about this," Hesperis waved his hand, "And I guess you will still call me by my real name in the end, you are just like this, with a poor memory I'm going to die."
Lily has been looking at the furnishings in this weird antique shop restlessly. At this time, she didn't know what to think of, and suddenly pointed to Hesperis and exclaimed: "Oh, that's right! I mean, your name is so familiar. ! Isn’t Hesperis the name of the evening goddess in Greek mythology?!”
Hao Ren was taken aback when he heard the words, but Hesperis waved his hand indifferently: "It happened many years ago. Don't mention it again. Now I have to buy a ticket to go to Athena's temple to get old. Thinking about these things only adds to the sadness." That's all."
Lily slid down from the chair all of a sudden: "Ah! Really?"
Hao Ren didn't know much about Greek mythology, but it was time to realize what was going on. He stared blankly at this ordinary-looking woman in black with a somewhat gloomy and negative temperament. Suddenly realize that I am facing a real living history, a character who has really stepped out of the myth and legend. Immediately, waves of emotions surged out in my heart: In all fairness, Vivienne can be regarded as living history, but this nanny vampire who cooks and cleans the house all day at home really makes people feel no sense of history, and so does Raven 12345. She's a real goddess, but when did that scumbag who cooks bowls of noodles look like a goddess? But this one in front of him, although not as old as Vivienne, not as powerful as Raven, but it did make Hao Ren a little excited to face historical figures, among other things, look at how long his name is...
Hao Ren always thinks that people with longer names are big names. You are like Ximen Fuxue, you are like Einstein, you are like Aristotle, not to mention, even the most powerful person in his family is Yzaks? Goodman, apart from Doudou, is Hao Ren who is the least powerful, and the one with the lowest combat power is even a single word "roll", which is enough to explain the problem of "the length of the name is equal to the combat power". 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 Wuyue looked at Hesperis in disbelief: "I really didn't expect... You are really the goddess of the evening in the fairy tale? Didn't it mean that all the 'gods' of your generation were given by the demon hunter..."
"There are very few who survived," Hesperis pointed at himself, "those with quick brains, good luck, and poor strength have not been targeted by demon hunters, although those who possess the above three points at the same time Not many, but there are still a small number of people who survived, and then scattered around the world incognito. Now I don’t know how many people are still alive. Anyway, I am the only one here in Greece. By the way... don’t you introduce yourself ?”
It was only then that Hao Ren remembered that after entering the door, he looked around curiously and listened to Vivian and Hesperis talking, so he forgot to introduce his name, but before he could say anything, Vivian stood up first. : "Let me come—this is Hao Ren, the leader of our group, you can just treat him as a human wizard. This is Yizaks, from the demon clan... The last one is Lily, Hus... Alas, a werewolf."
Lily jumped up immediately: "Why did you sigh! Did you sigh just now?!"
Hesperis looked at Hao Ren unexpectedly, and then at Vivian: "The leader? You formed a team with someone? And you're still a follower? Have you finally sucked the blood of a mental patient?"
"Don't interrupt, I'd like you to take care of it," Vivienne waved her hand forcefully, "I came to ask you about the situation of that ruin—what's going on? Are you sure it's the passage leading to the 'Old Kingdom'?"
"The little girl Hesianna led the people to find out the ruins, but the Lucas family also got involved. Now the two families are arguing, but they have cooperated before, and the current situation Forced, it should only be a matter of time before the two of them compromise with each other," Hesperis explained, "The entrance to the ruins is in the Parthenon Temple, and a space distortion point can lead to the inside of the ruins, but it takes two saints to open it." The object, the sacred object is currently in the hands of Heather Anna and the Lucas family. If you want to go to the ruins... you will inevitably have to deal with them. As for the nature of the ruins... I don't know much about it, after all, I still have I haven't been inside, but according to the cheerful descriptions of the boys under Heather Anna, you can see the temple facilities that are still in operation. The content of the prophecy of the day of return."
Hao Ren believed more and more in the ruins that there was a gate leading to the plane of dreams, so he couldn't help but move forward a little: "How big is the ruins? Are there any structures like space cracks leading to a mysterious place inside? Did you meet anyone else there?"
"You seem to know the ruins very well?" Hesperis gave Hao Ren a strange look, "But you don't seem to have any of the things you mentioned. The exact size of the ruins is unclear, but no one has seen anything other than the entrance." The space door outside, let alone others, who can live in it for ten thousand years? Eat stones?"
Vivienne's face was a little weird: "Hessiana... actually wants to meet that troublesome ghost..."
"Why, you have a grudge against that vampire named Heather Anna?" Hao Ren asked strangely.
Vivienne opened her mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly she heard a swarm of bats sweeping in from outside the antique shop, and then a sharp and energetic voice came in: "Is it Lord Vivienne?" ? Is Lady Vivian really here!? I’m Hessiana! I’m here to find you!”
