Chapter 50
"Lalopoulo, you came so early today?"
"That's for sure; it's a big day for Delphi city-state."
"Yeah, it's been almost thirty years, and finally finished."
On the streets of the city-state of Delphi, two sturdy young men walked side by side toward the center of the city.
Glancing at Lalopoulo beside him, Takis suddenly said in surprise, "You have successfully cultivated Bronze Ki?"
"What I just achieved two days ago is not as good as what you achieved five months ago," Lalopoulo said, his eyes still full of self-satisfaction.
Takis said with a smile: "Breaking through the black iron stage and reaching the bronze field means that the cultivation of Ki has surpassed the extremes of ordinary people. Whether working in the church of light or seeking a position in a city-state, it will be very advantageous."
Lalopoulo said, "Yeah, even if there is no such thing, the bronze Ki alone can prevent all diseases and can defeat nine bulls single-handedly. It's worth spending so many years of cultivation."
"All this is thanks to the great God of Light, who let us praise the light." Takis became serious, clenched his right hand, and tapped his eyebrows.
Lalopoulo followed suit.
This gesture was created by the most beautiful and devout priest when the church of light was founded thirty years ago.
The clenched palm symbolizes determination, and the tap on the brow symbolizes the offering of faith to the great God of Light.
Together, it meant dedication to the light.
In today's Delphi, all people were followers of the God of Light.
So this gesture was also the most common here.
"If it weren't for the great God of Light, who killed the nine-headed Hydra and many monsters, Delphi and even dozens of surrounding city-states would have been destroyed that day."
"I envy those old people who have witnessed the descending of the great God of Light with their own eyes. After killing Hydra, the God of light personally taught the people who came here to learn Ki and magic in Delphi."
"However, magic is too mystical, and it's a headache. Unless you are a wise man with far-reaching wisdom, you should honestly cultivate Ki. In these years, the major city-states have relied on many heroes of the silver and gold level to destroy monsters. They beat back again and again."
"The wisdom of the God of Light is indeed vaster than the sea and wider than the sky. To have created such a great cultivation method, I think he is more suitable for the title of the God of Wisdom than goddess Athena."
Hearing the words of his partner, Takis smiled: "I heard that in Olympus, the home of the gods, the relationship between the God of Light and the goddess Athena has always been very good, so don't slander the goddess Athena behind your back."
Lalopoulo said, "But why did I hear that the goddess Athena and the God of Light's elder sister, the Goddess of Hunting, have always been at odds?"
"Hmm, today is a holy day. Let's not talk about gods." Takis blinked.
Lalopoulo nodded: "Okay, but Chief Chiron should also attend the ceremony of the completion of the temple today. He is the first golden hero on the whole earth, and he is currently lighting up the stars and reaching the prediction of the God of Light. The closest existence to the highest realm of Ki cultivation."
Takis affirmed, "Chief Chiron is the chief of the church warriors, and of course, he will attend today."
"But I am looking forward to seeing Priestess Thekasha. She is the first person to be favored by the God of Light, and she is also the human being who has followed the God of Light for the longest time. Although she is no better than Chief Chiron in terms of aptitude and knowledge, she is the most devout believer in the God of Light. "
"Yeah, she is the most beautiful princess in Delphi, the most dazzling pearl. I don't know how many princes and heroes fell in love with her and proposed to her, but she chose to become a priestess of light and serve the god for life."
Lalopoulo regretted.
But Takis shook his head: "Compared to the great cause of serving the god, what is worldly love, let alone the most dazzling sun in the sky? Who can see the sparks on the ground?"
The two of them came to the center of the city-state of Delphi.
On the spacious square, a finely carved white column towered, supporting a lofty and majestic flat-topped building, which was magnificent, sacred, and solemn.
At the entrance of this building stood a tall golden humanoid stone sculpture with an upright figure and beautiful curves, but only the face was a little blur.
Every person passing by saw the stone sculpture and reverently tapped his right fist on his brow and praised the light.
This statue of the God of Light was originally made by the best craftsmen from dozens of surrounding city-states, and it took a full decade to complete it.
The reason why it took so long was that the craftsmen sent each completed one to the priestess for examination, and the priestess always said it was difficult to depict one ten-thousandth of the divine beauty of the God of Light.
In the end, they had to give up sculpting the face, which was passed by the priestess.
Lalopoulo sighed with emotion.
"The majesty of the gods cannot be described by the skills of mortals," Takis said gently.
"Fortunately, there is no such problem in the construction of the church. Otherwise, even if it takes another three hundred years, the project will not be completed."
The two raised their heads and stared at the tall and majestic church in front of them from a distance, and a sense of admiration was born in their hearts.
They tapped their forehead again with their right fist.
"Praise the Light!"
At this time, the salute sounded.
It took thirty years to build the church of light, and the temple festival began.
...
In Mount Olympus.
Artemis smiled lightly at her brother, who was already half a head taller than herself and asked, "Today is the day that church of yours is completed. What are you doing taking me to Goddess Demeter instead of paying attention there?"
Compared with thirty years ago, Apollo, who was taller, stronger, and more handsome, smiled lightly: "What's so good about that, seeing other gods being jealous of my temple, that it is the tallest and largest in Greece?"
"You have just been promoted to the Main God recently, so don't compete with Athena. She is already at the eighth rank of the Main God." Apollo changed the topic.
"So what? I'm very close to the third rank of the Main God now. With my bloodline activated, I can reach the sixth rank or above of the Main God in at most one or two hundred years. It is also good to adapt to her fighting style in advance." Artemis was very stubborn.
"Hey, are you so sure that you will fight her often in the future?"
Artemis said quietly, "No, it's just that she is the most powerful of all the goddesses in Olympus, so as long as I beat her, no matter which goddess you marry, I can discipline them."
Apollo was speechless at her answer.
He could only walk ahead on his own.
In the past 30 years, I have been spreading the faith and Ki on the earth. I almost forgot the advanced treasure chest here in Demeter. If I don't hurry up, it may be refreshed.
With that in mind, he led Artemis into the temple of the Goddess of Agriculture.
