Chapter eight hundred and seventieth source
"Can I understand this as a threat?" Athena put down Homer's epic in her hand, crossed her hands, and suddenly looked at Brian.
I have to say that being watched by a god is still very stressful, even if she is just a young goddess, well, it just looks young on the surface, and how old is Athena is, it’s hard to say.
But fortunately it was not Horus but Athena, and Brian didn't need to worry that any secrets in his heart could be seen.
So Brian shook his head and pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "No, it's just a piece of advice."
But the goddess of wisdom seemed to have seen through his little thoughts and looked at him faintly. Athena retracted her gaze and continued to focus her energy on the book in her hands.
This brought the atmosphere around him back to the origin again.
Brian realized that Athena was not so easy to fool, and this was based on altitude of aberration. Supernatural powers and magic should obviously be divided with gods. In this regard, humans now know almost nothing, at least Brian knows nothing about it.
He didn't know what Athena cares about and values, or even her taboos or how to arouse interest. Athena is much more difficult to deal with than in the movie, but she is not as friendly to humans as in the movie.
However, the new powers and the power of technology that humans now have are almost a world away from the past in two thousand years, but it is not so easy to use these things to arouse Athena's interest. After all, this is completely different from the magical realms of the gods.
I'm afraid Athena knows nothing about technology. If you want to be interested, you must at least have some understanding.
And more importantly, the gods are always unpredictable, and you can't imagine what she will do next.
The surroundings seemed to be calm again, but Brian still saw Mike sending Zas to watch over the rear. He paid attention to his and Athena's movements from time to time, and also paid attention to Ferchart and his group not to cause trouble, and also spared some energy to deal with emergencies.
Mike found a very important clue. An important amount of funds from Willy Wonka was transferred. The personal account and the account information person did not know that he had this account, and the handling staff at that time could not recall the specific appearance of the person who handled the matter at that time.
There is only one possibility for familiar means, which also means that there is indeed a problem with Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
But the point is not here, but the mysterious man has already been to the chocolate factory, and they are one step late. Fortunately, although the individual who cannot track down the account, that is, the mysterious man, can monitor the flow of funds.
Finally pointing to the Museum of Nature and History in New York, it is a magical place.
Even Brian had to admit that it was indeed a good place for supernatural powers to appear, but unfortunately, the clues were cut off here. They didn't know what the mysterious people were going to do there, and even Brian couldn't guess it. There were too few clues available.
They had to send someone to stand by in advance.
The magic of the mysterious man, the power of the silver tongue, and even the best-selling author of the Delaware Town, had no idea about this supernatural power, and even did not collect relevant information.
Originally, Brian thought that when he took over this supernatural event, the S.H.E.L.D. World Security Council would follow one after another, and the least it was a file, but I'm sorry, it didn't.
The last department is now, and there is no real organization to deal with supernatural forces.
Brian believed that his level was enough, and even if it was really not enough, they should have appeared at this time, otherwise wouldn't they rather the world be demolished and kept hiding?
So this area is a completely unknown area for humans, and what is placed in front of Brian is a big gift package for humans who have just come into contact with this area. He needs the help of Athena, and it is best to win the gods to the human side.
Zas and others in the distance couldn't help, and passers-by in the library were also busy with their own affairs. Brian felt that Athena's presence was getting weaker and weaker, as if it would suddenly disappear in the next moment.
He knew he could not continue to wait, otherwise he would have no chance until Athena was impatient.
So Brian hates smart people, especially a guy as smart as him. At first, Brian felt that he had to find a very smart person when looking for a girlfriend. Although he was still far better than himself, he was at least smarter than normal people, otherwise he would not be able to communicate with him at all.
But now, he still thinks it’s better to find a normal person, otherwise he will be even more unable to communicate. This is his personal experience.
"Do you know how you came to this world?" After understanding the situation at this moment, Brian asked straight in.
Athena paused for a moment, then said, "Summon."
"You know?" This was beyond Bryan's expectations. For a moment, he even suspected that there was a ability that could make the goddess of wisdom know everything.
But soon, Brian knew that he had misunderstood.
Because Athena continued, “God comes most of the time through summoning.”
A smile finally appeared on Brian's face. The long-lost smile was also the one he had most often on his face. He was a sure-win smile because he knew that even the goddess of wisdom, she was not omnipotent.
"It is indeed the one he summoned," said Brian, "but... he not only summoned you, but to be precise, he turned you into reality in the book, and he could turn everything in the story into reality."
"Fantasy Man?" Athena's voice floated for the first time, and even the Homeric epic in her hand was thrown aside by her a little out of control.
In an instant, Brian felt a huge pressure coming to his face, which might be the so-called divine power, but Brian was even more happy that Athena actually knew about the existence of silver tongue, and it didn't sound like she was a little ignorant.
"Tell me about that person carefully." Athena said...
It is really a waste to let nzt describe a person's effect. After a few words, Brian told the characteristics of the silver tongue and the whole story.
At the same time, Athena's voice also confirmed a new word, "The Fantasy Man." She said.
"What is a fantasy man?" Brian immediately pushed the boat along the way and asked. This was also the most core question. His purpose in coming to the library during this trip.
Athena looked at Brian with her faint smoky eyes, and slowly told in a slow word order, "Not long before I was born, a huge meteor shower from outside came to this world."
“They bring it all.”
"It's just a few meteorites." Brian said, "It's not beyond the world. The technology now has..."
"The gods that do not exist in your mouth have appeared before you. How stupid are you still thinking that the meteorites outside the sky are just meteorites. You think we don't know what is outside the world. We are exploring the void outside thousands of years earlier than you mortals."
"That's not just ordinary meteorites," said Athena. "They have colorful light belts around them that cannot be touched, but they cannot affect everything, as if they are wandering on the edge of this world."
"My father and some other gods gathered at the place where the meteorites came, Egypt, they started a long debate. It took three years before my father returned to the divine realm again."
"He said nothing, told us nothing, and then fifteen years later, my brother saw that Egypt changed again."
"The rulers of Egypt brought together all the high priests of Egypt. On a pyramid, they held a grand sacrifice, and then used the power of the meteorite to cast a slab."
"It should have been four stone slabs, but the power on the stone slabs was too strong and those mortals could not control it, so this time they only made one piece, and they were going to make the other three pieces slowly. For decades and hundreds of years, they seemed not to care about the long wait."
"Slates contain powerful magic. According to legend, the magic they contain can realize any wish and turn illusion into real reality, but they have never taken effect after they were created."
"My father told me that only when certain mortals come into contact with stone slabs can they play their true role, and their descendants, will have that ability."
"The rulers of Egypt have never forgotten them. Those ignorant mortals seem to have made the stone slabs unable to function, and blamed them on the high priests. While executing them, the latter three stone slabs were also made one by one."
"But until my memory ended, I didn't find the mortals in the world that my father said."
"But now it seems... the stone slab has succeeded in the end."
The god is worthy of being a god. If it weren't for Ferchart's coincidence that Athena was summoned, how could Brian know such a secret? He can guarantee that this will not be recorded in history, and the church will not.
However, while learning about the origin of Silver Tongue, more doubts also appeared in Brian's mind.
And the most important one is, "Since you have known the power of stone slabs for a long time, why did the Egyptian priests make it? It can even... create God."
"Isn't this a threat to you?" Brian asked.
"You don't know the difference between mortals and gods at all," said Athena. "And... you really don't know what the world outside of heaven looks like."
If Athena said that she did not understand magic or the matter between gods, maybe Brian would admit it because he did not understand it, but if she said that she did not understand the world and the existence of the universe, then Brian would never admit it.
Thousands of years ago, humans could only rely on observations, imagination and speculation of the world and the universe, but thousands of years later, humans could fly out of the earth and climb into space to see it.
They knew that the land under their feet was called the Earth, it was a planet, and there were countless such planets in the universe.
So Brian said that he was not at all false, "I have said that the world has changed. Perhaps the mortals in your eyes will also climb into the sky in person..."
"This world is false." Athena interrupted Brian directly, "Our world is false, all this is false, we are created."
"How is this possible?" Brian subconsciously retorted, "What are you talking about..."
But halfway through his words, Brian suddenly stopped because he realized, or remembered, that he had indeed discovered this long ago. Sometimes Brian was not talking to people nearby, nor was he talking to himself, but was talking to you directly, and he had long noticed the changes in the world.
But he just thought this was a parallel world, after all, this theory is not uncommon.
"Who created it?" Brian asked in a deep voice, "Being God?"
"No." Athena shook her head, "After a long exploration of all our gods, we found that this world was created, not God, but something, something, and I don't know what it is."
Brian took a deep breath, paused, and asked again, "How do you prove that this world is false? Maybe it's just a parallel world, or our world is the main world."
Excited, he even forgot the title of honor.
However, Athena did not care about these small things, but sat there calmly and asked, "Because you haven't noticed that our world is disappearing."...
Athena only mentioned that our world is disappearing, and then there was no text below, because she didn't know more about it, but for Brian, these are temporarily enough.
And more importantly, after this conversation, the relationship between Brian and Athena was greatly narrowed, at least not the kind of passerby who could forget it after a glance.
And when Athena knew that she had been transformed from illusion to reality by the silver tongue, she also felt a little confused about her existence and memory, and she decided to meet the silver tongue.
Just as Athena talked to Ferchart for a few words, Mike found Brian again.
He wisely put these gods and silver tongues behind his mind for the time being and did something he could do. "There is someone coming in the bureau." He said to Brian.
"I report the situation here to them. Berica attaches great importance to it. We can set off and board the plane in half an hour. The situation on the way has been handled and the plane goes directly to New York Airport."
