Why is there a temple dedicated to Julius Caesar deep in the Arctic Circle?
Chen Motong stared at the statue in the temple, walked to Professor Saka, and asked: "Professor Saka, have you discovered anything?"
Professor Saka was groping for the ancient writings on the wall with an expression of obsession and excitement. He reluctantly looked away after hearing her question.
"Not yet, but after we interpret the words on the wall, maybe we can find the reason why this temple appears here."
After all, they were sent by the sponsor. Saka still patiently explained, and then tactfully drove them away.
"We need time to collect information. If Ms. Chen feels bored, why not come and help, or go outside to see if the signal can be connected."
Chen Motong did not back down. She stared at Professor Saka and said: "Professor, don't you have any guesses? Why have we been looking for so long and failed to find the lost civilization, but we found a temple dedicated to Emperor Caesar here?
?”
Professor Sacca hesitated for a while and said: "This doesn't mean anything. After the death of Caesar, some of his men fled Rome. Maybe it was them."
"This is not the answer I want." Chen Motong said straightforwardly, "I can't explain this answer to my superiors. Do you understand what I'm talking about, professor?"
Professor Saka was silent for a moment. He turned to look at the statue located in the temple and said slowly:
"In the fourth month after Julius Caesar was assassinated, which was also the month in which he was born, Octavian held a competition ceremony to commemorate him. During the ceremony, a comet appeared for seven consecutive days before sunset.
It appeared in the sky for an hour. People thought it was the soul of Caesar who ascended to heaven and became a god. The appearance of this great comet also became a powerful political propaganda for Octavian's official career. He officially began to build Caesar in the third year.
Temple. This temple was built for the purpose of worshiping comets, so it is also called the Comet Temple. According to the records of the ancient Roman poet Ovid: Behind the temple is a huge standing statue of Caesar, with on his forehead
Clinging to a burning comet..."
Chen Motong stared at the comet on the forehead of the statue and whispered: "Are you going to tell me that this is the comet temple?"
"No, Octavian did it for political propaganda. It is impossible for him to send people from the Mediterranean to build the temple here." Professor Sacca directly denied, "After Caesar died, his adopted son Octavian succeeded him, but he
Where is the real son?"
"You mean... Ptolemy XV, Little Caesar? But wasn't he executed by Octavian?" Chen Motong asked doubtfully.
Professor Saka stroked the ancient writings on the wall and murmured: "History is indeed recorded in this way. History will not lie, but those who record history can deceive future generations. Look here, Miss Chen, the signature here
They are... descendants of Caesar. The people who built this temple are descendants of Caesar's blood."
Chen Motong could not understand these ancient characters, but Professor Saka once again fell into the interpretation of these ancient characters, and she returned to Ling's side.
"Is it possible that the Caesar in history was a dragon?" Chen Motong lowered his voice.
"In the history recorded by the Secret Party, Caesar is a mixed race, and he was born in the Julian family, a mixed race family. Do you suspect that this is the remains of the Dragon Clan, and that Caesar is the Dragon King?" Zero said.
Chen Motong said: "The history of the secret party records that the king of earth and mountains once incarnated as Attila. He led his army to cross the Alps and invaded Italy in an attempt to regain his former territory. It is said that during the period of dragon rule, the city of Rome was his
fiefdom."
Zero's eyes narrowed and he said: "Do you suspect that Caesar is the king of the earth and the mountains? The Senate assassinated him because they discovered his identity? This is unlikely."
"I know, but I always feel that there must be some connection between them." Chen Motong said softly.
"No contact." A low and calm male voice came from behind them.
Ling and Chen Motong turned around and retreated almost instantly, but were pressed by hands from behind on their shoulders. They were as heavy as a mountain and couldn't move!
"Don't be excited. In your words, I am the backup you are waiting for."
The sudden and unexpected guest spoke calmly. He looked deeply at the two women in front of him and said, "The world is so wonderful that you two are standing together."
There seemed to be some deep meaning behind this sentence, but Chen Motong and Ling didn't have time to delve into it.
"Who are you?" Ling said coldly.
"You can call me by my current name, Xia Li." The man released his hand on their shoulders and raised his eyes slightly, "You can also call me... Attila like before."
He stood here, looking up at the statues in the temple. His eyes seemed to have spanned more than two thousand years, and he saw the uncrowned king standing on the top of ancient Rome.
Chen Motong's mind was shocked.
The man continued to think about himself: "Rome is not our fiefdom. The reason why I led the army to attack ancient Rome was because that land was filled with an aura that made me uneasy. In the end, the facts proved that my feeling was right. Just like at this moment, I
I feel this evil aura again.”
"You...are the dragon in the underground Nibelung root of BJ?" Chen Motong hesitated. The appearance of the man in front of her was a bit different from the silly dragon in her memory.
"Ah! This is... what is this!"
"God, this is..."
Suddenly, there was a scream of fear from the front, and fear spread throughout the temple for a moment.
Chen Motong didn't care about the absurdity the person in front of her gave her. She looked around and saw a girl fell to the ground. She grabbed her neck with both hands and turned around to look at everyone. Her body was twisting on the ground like a snake.
He moved, his eyes were frightened and crazy.
At that moment, Chen Motong vaguely saw something entering the girl's mouth.
Someone stepped forward to stop the girl, but as soon as he touched the girl's hand, he felt as if he had been stung by a poisonous scorpion. He screamed and staggered back, fell to the ground and raised his hands tremblingly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
thing.
Others did not dare to come forward, and Professor Saka shouted their names, asking what happened.
The second person who fell slowly turned around, with a creepy smile on his pale face.
Everyone was shocked and speechless by the strange scene.
"They are all dead."
A faint voice came from the man's mouth, and Chen Motong turned around suddenly.
"You are so unprofessional. I have seen autobiographies written in your field, and compared to your predecessors, you are full of mistakes."
The man looked at the southeast corner of the temple, "Forget it if you don't light the candles, and you don't even have a gas mask or an oxygen bottle respirator. It's reasonable for the group to be wiped out. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would all have died."
"You mean there's something wrong with the air?" Zero suddenly asked.
"Yes, the air in this temple is filled with a kind of microorganism. They will invade the spiritual system of living things and eat away at the brain tissue of living things. During the process, they will release something similar to an anesthetic, causing the living beings to have incredible hallucinations.
.” The man nodded, “Compared to back then, this kind of thing is more difficult.”
"Then they..." Zero said softly.
"They are already carriers. Even if they don't die next, I will not allow them to leave this temple."
"This microorganism is also effective against dragons?" Chen Motong suddenly asked.
The man was silent for a while and said with a cold gaze: "Not only is it effective, this kind of microorganism from the outside is far more interested in dragons than other creatures. They seem to be extremely sensitive to mental power."
"Outside the sky?!" Chen Motong said in astonishment, "You mean... shooting stars?"
"It's not a meteor, it's a comet." Zero suddenly said.
"Comet?" Chen Motong frowned. Comet and meteor are completely different concepts.
"It seems you have guessed the answer." The man stared at the comet pattern between the statue's eyebrows, "The comet named Caesar's Star left behind some debris when it passed through the solar system, and was eventually pulled by the earth's gravity, bringing it
I discovered this strange microorganism. I got the news and led an army to conquer and purify Rome, but in the end I was tricked."
"Is it the secret party that was guarding Rome at that time?"
Chen Motong's eyes were solemn. If that was the case, could this thing be related to the secret party back then? But if this kind of microorganism was extremely interested in the dragon clan, I'm afraid he wouldn't let the hybrid species go. The secret party back then could really control this kind of microorganism.
thing?
Microorganisms or something... Was there any way to observe such organisms at that time?
"Secret Party?" Xia Li was silent, as if lost in memories, "No, it was the Presbyterian Church. Those who blocked me outside Rome back then were members of the Presbyterian Church hidden in the Secret Party."
"That man's achievements in alchemy are second only to Norton among the Dragon Clan. He once refined more than ten kinds of neurotoxins useful to the Dragon Clan. He was eventually declared banished by the Council of Elders, but until that time I didn't know that the so-called banishment was just for protection.
…”
…
…
xz.
The sky was gray as daytime approached, and the mountains in the distance stretched silently, like giant stone figures sleeping here.
An overly handsome man stood on a hillside, with long blond hair, sea-blue eyes, a tall nose and a very masculine beard, and wearing a pair of rimless glasses.
He took off his glasses and threw them away, looked up at the traces of comets in the sky, widened his eyes and said: "Damn it, what those old fools said is actually true? This damn comet is really coming back.
Isn’t it a non-periodic comet as promised? No, no, who can prove that this thing is really my son’s comet more than two thousand years ago? It’s fake! It’s all fake!”
Percy stood behind him, raising his head and silently looking up at the comet that was finally returning.
It turns out that so-called non-periodic comets just transcend the timeline of human observation. They have buried so many people and things for more than two thousand years. Who can still remember this star that passed through the solar system?
For human beings, this is a long time that is enough to bury all the vastness and greatness, but for it it is just another reunion in a long journey.
"No! The time doesn't match up!" Pompey suddenly had a low voice and stopped joking about going first. He frowned, thinking about something, and was silent for a long time. He suddenly turned to look at Passi, "What do you mean in the family?
A bunch of immortal people suddenly want to see me? They didn’t say what it was?”
Patsy shook his head: "Mr. Frost didn't tell me why."
Pompeii was silent again for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem to be an urgent matter. The plan remains unchanged. I will continue to stay in xz."
"Maybe it has something to do with the comet." Percy said softly.
Pompeii smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry anyway, it's the old people who should be anxious, and you don't have to die anyway."
Patsy was silent for a moment: "I'm not afraid of death."
"Not being afraid of death and wanting to die are two different concepts." Pompeii said lazily, "Young people should be more energetic and go play with my son when you have nothing to do."
"By the way, Percy, do you know what I'm looking for?"
Patsy was silent. The so-called participation in the Trumpet Cult's charity double cultivation ceremony was naturally just rhetoric. When he came to this land and found Pompeii, he discovered that the head of the family who was wild and careless was far from what he imagined.
appearance.
"XZ is a mysterious land. Back then, Hitler sent elite SS troops to XZ to investigate the secret of eternal life. We also suspected that this was the sleeping place of a certain Dragon King. Not only us, but Kassel also sent elite troops to XZ to investigate the secret of eternal life.
A lot of people came here to investigate, but in the end they all came up with no results.”
"Did you find any clues?"
Percy said calmly.
"The sleeping place of the Dragon King?" Pompeii said with a strange smile, "XZ was indeed the sleeping place of the two Dragon Kings, but those two were dug out long ago. I didn't come here to find the Dragon King, but
I'm here to find something, do you know about xz's armor?"
"There are really two dragon kings?" Percy was stunned.
"If you think about what XZ advocates most, won't the answer come out? Do you know about sky burial? Some beliefs and customs have roots for thousands of years, but they have lost their original meaning in the end." Pompeo smiled.
.
The thing that xz most admires and yearns for is...
Sky?!
Patsy was horrified.
"In China, 'Tojia' is also called Tiantie, which means 'the divine iron that fell from the sky'. In fact, it is actually a meteorite from outside the sky."
Pompeii began to move forward, saying without changing his tone,
"I got the news that there is an extraterrestrial meteorite buried in this land that has been sleeping for more than two thousand years. This meteorite has one and only one function - to create a vacuum element zone. Percy, do you know what this means?
?”
"In the area, no hybrids or dragons can use the word spirit." Percy said seriously.
"To be precise, it is impossible to interfere with the elements." Pompeii said leisurely, "Dragon is a kind of creature that transcends the rules of physics. You know, a creature that is more than ten meters long and weighs hundreds of tons wants to fly with wings and reach the speed of sound.
, what is this concept? We have reason to suspect that the dragon clan’s detachment is completely dependent on the control of the elements.”
…
…
This day started and lasted for seven days. No matter which city in which country they were in, or which residential building or building they lived in, all human beings could see that light at night. After more than two thousand years,
The path of light that reunites with the Earth again.
It is so shining, it seems to herald some kind of new beginning, and it seems to be announcing the arrival of some kind of ending.
But regardless of the beginning or the end, this comet will go all the way along its established trajectory.
I'm guilty!
