Chapter 117 Ancient Ruins! Atlantis!
Although Posa was another king of Sparta, his strength was inferior to Ashida.
What’s more, even someone as strong as Ashida was beheaded in an instant by Xu Mu!
The head was thrown at his feet, and his eyes were as big as bells, showing that he died with his eyes open.
The bloody face really frightened Bosa, and he almost took a few steps back using both his hands and feet.
No matter how much courage one possesses, when faced with a power gap so great that it makes one despair, a chill will rise from deep within one's heart.
"Ding, ding, ding, of course..." Posa was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly: "I'll show you a document right away!"
Not long after, Xu Mu took Mirrine's special approval document in his hand and turned to leave.
The group of Spartan officials around were even more silent, not even having the courage to look at Xu Mu for another second.
It was not until a long time after he left that the group of people felt weak in their legs, slowly collapsed or knelt on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
As long as Xu Mu is willing, he would even completely annihilate the entire Spartan Kingdom's manpower.
However, his purpose was only to complete the mission and he did not want to cause any more trouble.
Becoming the king in these virtual copies is not a big deal. What Xu Mu has to do is to quickly improve his own strength and get the top copy evaluation.
The reason for killing Ashida was very simple. This guy was a member of the Cult of Order hiding in the dark, so there was no reason not to kill him.
When he returned to Myrrine, he was extremely excited when he saw the document handed to him by Xu Mu.
"You actually got the approval of the two kings of Sparta?!"
It was no wonder that Myrrine was so excited. After all, Sparta had always been a country with strict hierarchy and had military-like and almost harsh requirements for everything.
Xu Mu only stayed for more than an hour before turning back, which shows that he completely touched the hearts of the two kings.
"I can't imagine how you did it. Did you know them for a long time?" Myrrine asked again.
Xu Mu thought for a moment and said casually, "We are just nodding acquaintances."
“No wonder…” Myrrine finished her words and took out a mysterious and ancient key from her sleeve.
"Take this key and lead Kassandra to open the door to the ancient Isu wonder Atlantis. There, you will meet Kassandra's real father. There may also be some handy weapons. Consider it my reward for your unparalleled bravery!"
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for!
I didn’t expect that the hidden map of this DLC can actually be opened!
Xu Mu directly put the ancient key into his pocket, said a few polite words, and then waved goodbye to Myrrine.
Next stop, Atlantis!
…
Looking back on the life of Nico, the Spartan general, it was actually quite tragic.
He devoted his entire life's passion to Sparta, but ended up with his wife and children separated and his family broken up.
Not only was the child thrown off the cliff by the wizard as a symbol of uncleanness, but even his wife could not bear the burden and ran away.
Moreover, the child is not his own.
Cassandra, the protagonist of the original game, is not the biological father of Nico, but a very powerful person.
There is a hard-core ruthless person who makes countless modern students grit their teeth when they hear about him - Pythagoras.
He was a man of great talent who integrated philosophy, astronomy, mathematics and other literatures into one.
He is also the Western founder of many important academic theories such as the Pythagorean theorem, real and imaginary numbers, odd and even numbers, and square numbers (I checked the information and found that there were records about the Pythagorean theorem in the Shang Dynasty of my country, but it was only used at that time. The real proof can be traced back to Zhao Shuang in the Three Kingdoms period. Pythagoras lived around 500 BC, and the Three Kingdoms period was 220-280 BC. For the sake of rigor, I used the description of "Western founder" here to avoid being accused of bragging about foreign countries every day. I give in. I can be dragged into whether I love my country or not just writing a game copy...)
Although Pythagoras was not the first person in the world to propose the concept of mathematics, he was the one who proposed combining "number" with everything in the universe.
The concept of 'everything is number' was proposed.
Simply put, Pythagoras' main achievement was to abstract the number "five" from specific , and try to use numbers to describe everything in the universe.
From the perspective of later generations, the abstract concept of "number" has greatly improved the convenience of people's lives since its introduction, and countless scientific and technological developments have also originated from people's proficient mastery of the concept of "number".
What Xu Mu has to do now is to meet this hardcore ruthless man who has long passed away in the eyes of outsiders, but actually lives in Atlantis.
And from the last remaining relic of the Isu civilization, 'The Lost Civilization of Atlantis', you can obtain the most powerful Isu artifact set in the entire dungeon!
Those so-called legendary sets, although rare, are not impossible to obtain.
Legendary beasts will still be refreshed. As long as the player reaches the corresponding strength and hunts legendary beasts, he can still get the legendary hunter set that Xu Mu is wearing.
It's just that Xu Mu was able to use the strategy to get one step ahead of other players and enjoy the benefits of the hunter set first.
But Isu artifacts are different.
Just like the Spear of Leonidas carried by Xu Mu, they have special copy uniqueness!
However, Atlantis, as a dynamic and flowing map, is not fixed in a certain place on the Greek mainland.
Fortunately, Xu Mu carried with him the treasure map of Atlantis that Ou Qi had provided him not long ago.
Xu Mu, who had reached level 52, opened the map naturally and followed the instructions on the map to come to a small island in a sea far away from the mainland.
After instructing the crew to stay on board, Xu Mu went there alone.
Finally, in a Mediterranean area in the center of the island, after twists and turns, we arrived at this ancient relic that only exists in legends, Atlantis!
Use the ancient key given by Myrrine to insert it into the gate buried in the water in front of you.
As if a mechanism had been activated, the door slowly opened without Xu Mu having to turn it.
What surprised Xu Mu was.
He was originally in an underwater world, but the water did not rush in because the door was opened.
Instead, there seemed to be an invisible wall of air between the water and the door, and the space behind the door was spotless.
The moment Xu Mu stepped into the gate, gravity pulled him down, and Xu Mu slid down the huge and smooth slope made of unknown material.
When we finally arrived at the central area of Atlantis, the place was filled with a blue glow like blue algae.
There is a huge empty square-like flat surface around me.
In front of me, there is an extremely wide technological light screen, its long and narrow proportions like the Qingming Shanghe Tu.
At this moment, the light screen is showing the scene of Atlantis as a prehistoric civilization.
The scene before us is not an exaggeration even if modern players call it the city of the future.
Magnificent large-scale urban buildings are arranged in graceful geometric shapes. Black technologies that countless modern people cannot understand frequently appear in the videos of this prehistoric civilization, as if even newborn babies can master them.
What surprised Xu Mu even more was that the video content played on the light screen was not repeated in a loop.
Instead, it will magnify a certain area as Xu Mu looks at it.
You can truly observe what a specific person was doing at this time in this prehistoric civilization period.
It is equivalent to a dynamic version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
And as long as you have enough patience, you can even speed up the life process of this human being, watch him get his name on the list of successful candidates, watch him have his wedding night, watch him enjoy family happiness, and watch him live out his life in peace.
You can watch his life quickly!
The same is true for switching to another target.
You can even explore a specific building to see what it will look like after hundreds of years of exposure to wind and sun.
"Wow..." Even Xu Mu, who knew the strategy, couldn't help but sigh.
The prehistoric civilization of Atlantis is so amazing!
Just the light screen that can play dynamic videos is already an order of magnitude higher than Xu Mucan's gold-level potential [Eye of the Blue Sky].
The Blue Sky Eye can only see the picture at best.
But this thing can also accelerate time and space. A hundred years of life and death can be quickly flipped through in just a few glances.
This is something Xu Mu had never experienced in the original work.
After all, in order to cater to the current mainstream computer accessories, the original game will delete some details and focus on highlighting the core elements.
Some things are just beautifully modeled objects at best, but they are not interactive.
And in the copy, all the details are filled in!
It even exceeded Xu Mu's expectations!
This requires an incredible amount of computing power! And an unimaginable CPU-like substance to support such a detailed replica to work well.
This made Xu Mu start thinking.
What is the operating logic behind the world tree in your world?
Who created these copies?
Who created these? Or other creatures? What will they face in the end?
These were issues that Xu Mu had been too lazy to think about before, but as his strength continued to increase, he had to gradually face them.
Xu Mu also knew it in his heart .
As long as he keeps climbing up, he will reach a high enough height.
One day, whether he likes it or not, he will face the World Tree.
Face the truth behind the Red Moon copies and the underlying logic behind their existence in the world .
"You are the variable I didn't expect." Just when Xu Mu's thoughts were drifting, an old voice interrupted Xu Mu's thoughts.
Slightly side glance.
An old man in a gray robe and with a gray beard that almost reached his chest walked out slowly, holding a staff that looked like two snakes entwined around it.
Xu Mu recognized him at a glance.
Pythagoras, seen in the original work.
It’s just that the characters in the copy are portrayed more fully and realistically.
He was hunched and thin, and the years had left indelible marks on his face.
"What I foresaw was the return of my daughter Cassandra, but I didn't expect it to be you. You have a strange aura. You don't belong to this world." Pythagoras looked at Xu Mu deeply, with a confused gleam in his turbid eyes.
As expected of a wise man who has inherited the divine power, he has a strong insight and can tell at a glance that he is not from this world. Xu Mu couldn't help but think in his heart.
Soon, he perked up and spoke again.
"It doesn't matter whether I belong to this world or not. What matters is that you need inheritance." As Xu Mu spoke, his eyes were fixed on the staff in Pythagoras' hand.
That is the legendary Staff of Hermes, an important medium connecting God and man. The holder is immortal and bears the heavy responsibility of communicating with the universe.
The origin of the oracle lies in this staff, but after the term oracle became overused, all kinds of evil cults dared to claim that they could communicate directly with God.
This gradually cheapened the identity of the oracle, and in the Middle Ages it was even classified as a wizard.
And this staff is the real key to unlocking the mysterious treasure of Atlantis.
"I do need inheritance, but how can you be sure that you are the destined inheritor?" During the hundred years that Pythagoras has held the staff, he has seen too many different kinds of people and things. When faced with Xu Mu, a man who did not belong to this world, who asked him for the Scepter of Wisdom right away, his expression was not one of annoyance, but instead revealed a touch of open-minded calmness.
A truly calm mind.
At this point in the conversation, Xu Mu already understood clearly.
This DLC is not as simple as I thought.
It’s not like in the previous life where you only needed to spend money to unlock it.
The DLC in the copy requires players to explore the entire copy and find the ultimate answer to this copy world from the little clues given in the vast world.
The requirements for completion are extremely high and not something that ordinary players can do.
It's not even something that a strategy can achieve.
Xu Mu dared to guarantee that it would be impossible to open the hidden treasure house of Atlantis with only the perfect strategy of "Assassin's Odyssey".
The hidden map that even the perfect strategy could not unlock made Xu Mu more and more excited about what level of reward he would get if he could really unlock it.
At the very least, it will definitely exceed the level of [Super Hidden Achievement]!
Even Xu Mu himself didn't dare to say that he could unlock this hidden treasure/map 100%.
All I can say is give it a try.
There’s no harm in giving it a try, and if you succeed, it’s a super boost!
So, the question comes back to what Pythagoras asked just now.
How can I be sure that I am the one who can inherit the scepter of wisdom in his hand?
After thinking seriously for a moment, Xu Mu had the answer in his mind.
He looked up at Pythagoras and spoke in a soft voice.
