Chapter 54 Mausoleum?
Mr. Russell.
The old President Carolos, who had recovered his strength, turned his head and asked William:
You don't just want me to see that... those children were killed by giant beasts.
Yes. William did not deny it, he manipulated the computer between the two and said:
Because the agents have a live broadcast of the Umbrella branch in Athens, we will let you and I know the enemies ... who are to be faced.
They? Carolos was stunned.
That's right. William operated the computer again and displayed the murals and ancient texts in the corridor of the ruins on the screen.
Said: Before this incident, Umbrella Company did not recruit full-time experts on ancient civilizations.
Coupled with the sudden incident and other factors, I hope that as one of the most knowledgeable people in Greece, Mr. President, you can help translate these contents.
Um…
Hearing this, Carolos took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes with his hands, put on his glasses again, nodded and said:
No problem, although I am a doctor of law, but when I was young, I followed my uncle to search for ancient ruins everywhere, and I could be regarded as half an ancient civilization scientist.
Please, sir. William admired.
It should, after all, that scalp-numbing monster kills in my beloved land.
It is also my responsibility to assist your Umbrella in containment, hehe.
Carolos smiled wryly, and then began to carefully read the content on the screen.
As for William, he remained silent.
Asking a president of the country to help analyze the anomaly was a reluctance to William.
Umbrella had indeed not recruited experts to deal with such incidents before.
That's because Halsey, aside from medicine, engineering, and physics, is also the top scholar of ancient civilizations.
Halsey can easily decipher the Forerunner relics in Halo and the various technologies recorded by the Forerunners.
Then Umbrella doesn't need to recruit those titular 'old guys'.
It's better than anything to save some extra money for agents to upgrade their gear.
However, Halsey is on the island of Minos, which is hidden from the outside world.
It's an emergency.
And Carolos is the most prestigious scholar in Greece, so it is more reliable to hand over the translation work to the old president.
after a few minutes;
It's unbelievable, it's so... so... oh my god!
When Carolos read all the murals and texts, he held the frame of his glasses with his right hand, and pointed at the computer screen with his left hand, not daring to speak:
Mr. Russell... do you know what this says?!
Uh... Hearing what the other party said, William shrugged a little embarrassedly:
If I had known, I would not have sought your help, Mr. President.
Oh, yes, it's my rudeness.
Carolos apologized, took off his glasses and put them in his pocket, asking with unconcealed excitement on his face:
Mr. Russell, do you know the history of ancient Greece, or the myths of ancient Greece?
this…
William held his chin in his left hand for a moment and said, I heard something from my grandfather when I was young.
It's just that I don't have a good impression of Zeus, the main god in Greek mythology, so I won't go into details.
Ah, Zeus, an old pervert. Carolos chuckled lightly.
The old president continued: Greek mythology is different from legends and religions around the world.
Like Buddhism in ancient India, or Christianity, etc.
The gods in other religions rarely have personal desires and have the supreme commanding heights, right?
Yeah. William nodded.
Carolos continued: But the gods in our culture are sensual, they are more like... people.
As you and I say Zeus.
He had many fun with mortals and gave birth to many children, that is, demigods.
The demigods formed by the combination of various gods and humans are very active in our legends and culture.
The most famous of these was Achilles, the son of the sea goddess Thetis.
And what we see is the tomb of that hero.
and many more.
William said in disbelief: Mr. President, you're not kidding me.
As far as I know, Achilles is just a fictional character from Homer's epic, the Trojan War.
Moreover, even if it does exist, then Achilles will not end up being cremated, how could there be a body or a tomb?
William thought the old president would be more reliable.
But I didn't expect to tell him some myths and legends.
Young man, don't be impatient.
Carolos patted William's right shoulder lightly and explained patiently: Cremation is just one of the many endings of Achilles.
(looking at the screen) The original words recorded above are...
Here is the great warrior, the great hero, the tomb of Achilles.
The hero has never been injured in previous battles, and he does not know why he feels pain.
But the coward Paris shot a sneak attack, penetrating the hero's only weakness, the heel.
When the war was over, everyone held a cremation for the hero.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the hero could not be cremated.
In the end, the hero sleeps at the gate of the underworld, shocking all Xiao Xiao.
If you want to see the body of a hero, you must pass the test of the three tomb-keepers.
Mortals, if they have no courage and strength, then go away!
... William was silent.
unusual phenomenon.
It represents a phenomenon that is different from what ordinary people can understand.
'If you doubt anything, you can't move forward~. ’
Thinking about Halsey's advice to him before, William smiled involuntarily.
Then he looked at Carrollos and said softly: Okay, Mr. President, I believe what you said.
According to the records, in addition to the mutated lion, there should be two other anomalies.
But this underworld...
Don't really be the underworld in mythology.
Um…
Carolos didn't know why William's attitude changed, but he didn't think much, but thought about the problem just now.
Said, I don't think so.
Santorini Volcano erupted in 1650 BC, the largest volcanic eruption on Earth in 10,000 years, causing a devastating disaster that wiped out several Greek civilizations.
The Trojan War took place around 1200 BC.
At that time, the technology was not developed, and the movement of the earth's crust was not understood, so it was concluded that the Santorini volcano might be the entrance to the underworld.
So people let the heroes who died at that time guard and bless the safety of the earth.
…
{Everyone who is interested can watch Troy 2004, it is best to find the uncensored version~.
The content of the film has nothing to do with the plot of the book, but only introduces the story of Achilles.
And the starring is played by Brad Pitt, who is at his peak.
And a cold knowledge...
Coward = Paris.
Paris = Paris.
Then (manual dog head). }
