Chapter 1607: Fire of Heaven (Part 1)
"It turned out to be like this."
Hearing that Olympia had not changed, Bell and Haruki were very excited. They immediately compared the contents of the book and looked around the surrounding environment. For the Heroes' Tales, these two remembered even the pictures on it clearly. For these two people, this is a paradise.
"The number of people seems a little small." Shen Fei glanced at some streets ahead. There were not many pedestrians on the streets. Not to mention compared with Orario, even some small towns could not compare. Not only he found it, but Hestia and others also found it.
Bell and Haruki were already a little impatient to visit the city at this time, but Leia said that they still had to meet the Speaker of God first. This was the supreme leader of Olympia, without the gods.
Olympia is all Prometheus's family, but they are not called by the family, but by the name of the cult. This doesn't matter, after all, it's just a name. What really surprised Shen Fei was that Prometheus never appeared in front of people. He has been hiding behind the scenes. According to the history of Olympia, it has been three thousand years.
No one in Olympia knew what Prometheus looked like. The so-called oracle was issued through a stone wall. This time, it was the oracle issued by Prometheus that asked the witches to go to Orario to invite Hestia.
"Okay." Although the group wanted to visit Olympia, it was their first time here. Even the gods were the same. Although they knew Olympia, they had never been here because it was closed.
Just as the group was about to go to the temple on the top of the mountain, music suddenly sounded, and then Illya appeared with a large number of witches and soldiers, saying that it was a ceremony to welcome Hestia's arrival. After that, under Illya's command, the group began to sing songs praising Hestia at the fountain in the square in the middle of the street.
"What are they trying to show?" After the welcome, Aisha said speechlessly.
"It is certain that this is an interesting performance. There is no doubt that it is interesting." The smile on Hephaestus's face looked a little abstract.
"Ms. Hestia, are you satisfied?" Illya asked immediately after the performance.
"How should I put it? In a sense, I am satisfied." An awkward smile appeared on Hestia's face.
"That's great. Let's start the second chapter now." After getting Hestia's affirmation, Illya immediately ran over excitedly to continue directing.
"Well, how long will this last?" Seeing the performance continue, Hestia's cheeks twitched, and then looked at Leia beside her.
"A total of 28 chapters. For thousands of years, we didn't know how to welcome guests invited by foreign countries. This time, in order to welcome the god Hestia, we studied the past documents and finally conceived the current welcome ceremony. This is the result of the soldiers and the witches' sleepless practice for seven days and seven nights. Please enjoy it." Leia said respectfully.
"I am very satisfied with that. Can it be shorter?"
Although the soldiers and the witches practiced very hard, Hestia still wanted the welcome ceremony to end immediately after listening to the words of praise for herself. Unfortunately, Illya's side continued.
"The ceremony to welcome the goddess Hestia ends here. Do you like our performance?" After a long time, the performance finally ended, and Illya was still in high spirits.
"Ah, well, it was a great performance, thank you." Hestia said weakly.
"That's great, everyone, our training was not in vain." Illya shouted excitedly.
"The goddess' words are so pleasing, we are really grateful." The performing soldiers and witches said in unison.
"Lord Hestia, is it so popular?" Lily didn't understand why her main god, who looked a bit useless, was so popular here.
"This is because they felt it up close. For the Olympian people who obeyed the fire of heaven, they felt up close what the goddess who controls the holy fire is like." A strange voice sounded in the ears of the group.
"Sir, God Speaker." After seeing the person coming, Leia immediately began to salute. The person coming was the God Speaker of the Olympia Cult, Eton, who had long aqua blue hair in a single ponytail.
After a brief greeting, the two sides immediately followed to the Great Temple on the top of the mountain. This is the Temple of Prometheus. After entering the temple, God Speaker Eton once again welcomed the arrival of the group, and then briefly introduced the situation of the Heavenly Fire.
"What is that Heavenly Fire, why does Lady Hestia have to deal with it?" Lily asked directly.
"The reason is very simple, because the Heavenly Fire was originally something in the heavens." Hermes immediately explained the origin of the Heavenly Fire. It was originally supposed to be in the heavens, something managed by the gods, but it was stolen by Prometheus and thrown into the lower world. This is the Prometheus stealing fire in this world. Because of this behavior, Prometheus committed a crime.
"Why did the god named Prometheus do this?" Liu asked immediately.
"Because He has pity on the children of the lower world." Hermes immediately explained the reason. At that time, the lower world was attacked by monsters in the caves, and people lived in poverty. Prometheus could not bear to see this scene, so he threw the Heavenly Fire into the human world.
"The era before the first hero, hum." Hermes' words made Shen Fei sneer, which made Hermes look at him, but he continued to talk.
Because Prometheus stole fire, the great god Zeus was very angry, so there were lightning and thunder in the sky, trying to stop Him, but it was too late.
"Is there any problem with this?" Lily asked.
"The Heavenly Fire is a power that should not exist in the lower world." Hestia said immediately, and her expression was very serious at this time.
"The power that shouldn't exist in the lower world?"
"Yes, the power of that thing is too strong, and the lower world can't control it at all. Although it is not as powerful as divine power, it is also half divine power. If it only gives human civilization or culture, it can be barely accepted, but He gave humans fire in order to use it as a weapon to destroy monsters. Alas." Hermes sighed softly at this point.
"Although we can't understand the thoughts of the noble Lord Prometheus, as a fact, if there were no great heroes who obtained the power of the Heavenly Fire and protected this land, Olympia would have perished long ago." Leia said.
"Is that hero Epimetheus of Olympia?" Bell said excitedly.
"I also remember how the hero described him." Chun Ji also got excited.
"Yes, just like the hero who was bathed in fire, we are also protected by Prometheus, and the fragments of the Heavenly Fire are hosted on our bodies." Leia nodded and acknowledged Bell's statement.
"So that's how it is. So they asked Hestia to come here because there must be something wrong with the Skyfire." Shen Fei, who had been silent all the time, immediately figured out why Olympia went all the way to Orario to find Hestia. After all, she is the goddess of holy fire.
"The Skyfire is the cornerstone of Olympia. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the life of all people. However, I don't know when the Skyfire became filthy." God Speaker Eaton immediately told them the problem they encountered.
"Specifically, what happened?"
"Aliens, crustal movement, miasma that harms everyone, and, according to the god Prometheus, this impact is not just limited to Olympia, and sooner or later it will spread to all parts of the world." Eaton roughly talked about the impact of the filthy Skyfire.
"After all, it is something that the lower world cannot control. If it continues, the world will become a sea of fire and turn into ashes." Hermes said calmly.
"Another world-destroying crisis?" Shen Fei was a little speechless. There are really many world-destroying crises in this world.
"The lower world will actually turn into ashes. Will such a terrible thing really happen?" Chun Ji said nervously.
"If it develops into the worst result, the lower world will undoubtedly turn into ashes." Hermes answered with a serious face.
"It seems that we are in big trouble. The Eternal God Realm is really an incredible country." Aisha was speechless when she came to the holy land and faced the crisis of world destruction.
"Ah, I'm very sorry." Illya apologized hurriedly.
"This is not your fault, Illya. It should be said that so far, it should be said that thanks to you who have been curbing the out-of-control of the flames, the disaster has not spread." Hermes immediately comforted Illya.
"The god Prometheus has revealed the way to save the world. If you want to remove the filth of the sky fire, there is only one way, that is, the goddess of fire will purify the filth." Eaton said.
"Everything here is as I expected. In fact, I already knew about it when we were called to Olympia." As a goddess, especially a goddess who controls fire, Hestia naturally knows about the Olympian Sky Fire incident.
"Wait a minute, I have a question. I know everything. Although I am an outsider and it is not appropriate to say this, I am very dissatisfied with this approach." Aisha suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Eaton asked.
"This is a mistake made by the gods, so it should not be explained by the family, but by the gods themselves. Now, your gods are not ready to show up."
There is nothing wrong with what Aisha said. After all, it is your god who made such a big mistake. What's the point of hiding? It's not her fault for thinking so. After all, she doesn't know the situation of Prometheus. The reason why Shen Fei knew it was from Alfia.
"I'm sorry, we can't ask him to come. In fact, we don't know where Lord Prometheus is."
Alan and Leia then told the story of Prometheus one after another, and of course the oracle, even though they had never seen Prometheus and didn't know whether he was a man or a woman.
"Interesting, such a big thing never appeared, always hidden behind the scenes, I remember that after the gods went to the lower world, they would lose their power, and they also had to eat and sleep, so."
Aton and Leia's words suddenly made Shen Fei have an idea in his mind, and then he began to quietly look at Aton, Leia, Illya and others opposite.
"How could such a thing happen?" After listening to the narration of Eaton and others, Yamato-no-Mikoto, Bell and others could not accept it.
"It's not impossible. When Prometheus was in heaven, he was also very cautious and never showed his face in front of us gods." Hestia nodded immediately. In theory, there is nothing to hide between gods, but this Prometheus's mysticism is determined not to show his face.
"Yes, in fact, the only one who has contact with Prometheus is probably Zeus who tried to stop him at that time." Hermes said.
"I've only heard of his name, but no one has ever seen him."
"It's just like a city destroyer." Yasfei said. The word city destroyer has always been circulated in Orario.
"How does Lord Prometheus usually manage this country and his family?" Lily immediately expressed her doubts.
"It's faster for everyone to see it with your own eyes."
Then, led by Eaton and others, the group came to a hall inside the Great Temple. There was a huge stone tablet on the front wall, with an oracle written in sacred words. Now it was written to lead the goddess Hestia to check the Sky Fire and guide her to the way to salvation.
"It's really a headache. I've never seen it before, but I was named. Prometheus is really a rude guy, but if I don't see it first, I can't make a decision. Lead the way. I want to see the filthy flame.
"Lady Hestia, please come this way." Then, led by Eaton and others, the group came to the Deep Flame and saw the Sky Fire, a huge purple flame, but it gave people a gloomy feeling. Hestia was stunned for a moment when she saw the Sky Fire Hazihe, and then smiled bitterly.
"Prometheus really gave me a big trouble."
"Is it very troublesome? "After observing the situation of the Sky Fire, Shen Fei looked at the faces of Hermes, Moon Goddess, Hephaestus and others who were silent, and looked at Hestia.
"Don't worry about me, I am a god after all. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not impossible to deal with it."
Afterwards, under the leadership of Illya, the group went to the guest room to rest. As for when to purify the filthy Sky Fire, they need to wait for Prometheus's oracle. For the time being, they need to stay here, which makes Bell, Chun Ji and others very excited, so that they have time to visit this legendary city.
"Three gods, is it time to talk about something?" In Hermes' guest room, Shen Fei looked at Hermes, Moon Goddess, and Hephaestus in front of him, and looked at them closely.
"What do you want us to say?" Hermes asked immediately.
"What price does Lady Hestia have to pay to purify the filthy flames? Since the people from Olympia appeared, your attitude has been a little wrong, especially you, Lady Artemis. "
Shen Fei had not spoken before, he was observing the situation around him. Although Hestia seemed normal, Artemis, the moon goddess, was a little bit wrong when she heard that the people from Olympia came to invite Hestia. He could still see this. He did not ask before because he wanted to confirm what would happen. Now that things are confirmed.
"This is a mistake made by the gods, and it is natural for the gods to solve it. "
