"drink!"

Cassandra pulled out the Hermes stick that was inserted into her leg, and the severe pain almost made her faint.

But now is not the time to give up, she must stop Cialis.

That terrifying woman gained the power of four golden apples, and the Divine Cult will definitely become stronger. She must reseal this power that does not belong to the world, because that is the task and mission that she must complete!

"Sheep!"

Kassandra tore off the cloth strip from her clothes and wrapped the wound on her thighs. But the blood was flowing so hard that it could not be stopped.

The strength and temperature flowed out of the body with the blood, reminding Cassandra of the loneliness that was wandering outside.

But this time, no one named Cialis would lend a helping hand to her.

Even this pain was given by Cialis himself.

Maraka!

Kassandra cursed in her heart.

If she hadn't deliberately maintained her awakeness, she would probably have forgotten her breathing.

Is this going to die?

If you give up, it might not be so painful.

But, I can't die yet, I still have to stop Cialis!

So, what should I do?

"Pick up the Spear of Hermes, the successor of the inheritance." An illusory female projection suddenly appeared. She had an elegant appearance and perfect body, as if she was a legendary god.

"Who are you? Are you a ghost?" Cassandra asked with difficulty: "Or are Charon, the ferryman of the Styx, actually women?"

"I am not a ghost, nor is Charon, my name is Althea, the last Ishu. My body has died of illness, and now my consciousness is retained in the Staff of Hermes, so you and I can talk to you."

"So you are still a ghost," Cassandra smiled bitterly, "So you asked me to pick up the Spear of Hermes to occupy my body after I die?"

"No." Altheia replied: "The full name of the Staff of Hermes is the Staff of Hermes Tresmegistes, which is a great tool made by the philosopher Hermes of Ishu. The Staff has the ability to regenerate the cells of the user's body instantly. Pick it up and your physiological structure can be regenerated immediately and restored to its peak."

"I don't understand very much," said Cassandra. "But you mean, just pick up the Hermes Staff and my injury will be healed immediately?"

"That's right."

"But what is the price? Althea, what is the price?" Cassandra asked, "I know, the gods never give humanity gifts for no reason."

"You are not an ordinary human. Strictly speaking, compared to humans, your genetic level is closer to that of Ishu people." Althea replied: "But you are right, it does require conditions to become Hermes's Staff."

“What is it?”

"Become a guardian," said Althea. "You must defend the Ishu legacy for life from now on until you find a new successor."

"Like my father?"

"Yes, like your father."

Kassandra hesitated: “If I refuse, will no one guard Yishu’s legacy be guarded?”

"Yes."

"But you don't seem to worry that I'll refuse."

"Because I know you will agree," Althea explained: "My existence is different from ordinary life. Time is just a data flow in my eyes, and I can appear on any node at any time."

Kassandra said in surprise: “Can you foresee the future?”

"Including the past."

"Then can you tell me what happened to Cialis? Why is she a member of the Order God's Church, and what will happen to her in the future?"

Althea shook his head: "I can see the future and past of everyone in this world, but I can't see the life form named Xilis."

"Why?"

"Because she is not in the record of time." Althea said and added: "Not in the record of time in this world."

Kassandra didn't understand, but just guessed on her own: "Maybe it's because she was protected by the Moon God?"

Althea did not answer, but said, "Please decide quickly, you have no more time left, the heir to the inheritance."

"Okay, actually, you and I know how to choose, don't you?"

Cassandra took a deep breath and then held the Staff of Hermes tightly.

She immediately felt a numbness and itchy wound on her leg. When she tore open the bandage, she saw that the wound was growing new flesh visible to the naked eye and healed instantly.

"This..." Kassandra stood up, stomping her feet without feeling any pain: "It's amazing!"

Then suddenly she thought of a question, and quickly asked Althea: "If the Hermes Staff is put back into my father's hand, will he be able to...?"

"No, your father's brain was burned by an electric current and he was dead." Althea shook his head and said, "The Staff of Hermes is only effective for life."

Cassandra fell silent and walked to the body of Pythagoras and expressed her condolences.

"Pythagoras is a very competent guardian. He is very smart. Even at the level of Ishu people, he is not inferior. We have been together happily for many years." Althea first praised Pythagoras's achievements, then sighed and said regretfully: "After all, the will of ordinary people is too fragile. Relying on the ability of Hermes's rod, Pythagoras extended his life, which gave him amazing research on Ishu technology, but at the same time he was distorted by this knowledge. This is my negligence, and for this I hope you can accept my apology on his behalf."

Kassandra was stunned: "My father's thoughts were distorted? What does it mean?"

"He is longing for immortality and even wants to use Ishu technology for this." Althea explained: "The guardian became a thief, which probably means stealing himself. I am very sorry for this, and I have suggested that Pythagoras transfer the rod of Hermes to others more than once, because this way he can better complete the task of the guardian, but he refused."

Kassandra was even more surprised: "Then he came to me and it's again..."

"His genes are not perfect. Even with the Hermes Staff, he still reached the limit. So he chose to find your mother to give birth to children twenty years ago, in order to pass on the Hermes Staff to his descendants." Althea said: "Pythagoras regarded the guardian as an honor, which made him fulfill his mission conscientiously and at the same time made him feel superior."

"He should have regarded this job as a symbol of power, so even if he dies, he will give this 'privilege' to his children, hoping that honor and status will always belong to his bloodline. This practice is not uncommon among humans. For example, a king will leave the throne to his son instead of a more wise minister. This narrowness is a flaw in the deep human genes. I thought a wise man like Pythagoras could defeat impulses with reason, but he did not expect that wisdom would eventually be defeated by wildness."

"What's more serious is that after seeing you, Pythagoras's inner unwillingness was ignited again. He deceived you and activated the Leonidas spear without using the golden apple. The spear upgrade requires the fragments of Ishu. You should have already obtained some when killing the Order Gods."

Cassandra pulled out some triangular metal pieces and asked, "Are you talking about this?"

"Yes, this is the fragment of Ishu. The Order God is also looking for the ruins of Ishu, and it is not surprising that they will have these things." Althea said: "On the island of Andros, there is an Ishu Arsenal, where Hephaestus, the Ishu Arsenal, where your spear is upgraded."

Kassandra said strangely: "Then is my father asking me to find Golden Apple..."

"It is to open the door of Atlantis." Althea replied: "Atlantis is the last city of the Ishu people, where all the technology of the Ishu people is preserved. For the safety of the human world, we closed the door of Atlanti before the disaster came, but your father decided to open it again for eternity."

"But once the door is opened, will there be more Yishu artifacts leaking out?"

"Yes, that's why I want to stop Pythagoras." Althea continued silently, "It is because of this that I stand by when Cialis killed Pythagoras."

Kassandra asked with a complicated expression: "So, did Cialis kill my father, but instead saved the world?"

"I'm sorry, but that's the truth."

Cassandra remained silent and silently buried the body of Pythagoras, and then carried the Staff of Hermes and the Spear of Leonidas on his body.

"What are you going to do?" Althea asked.

"I am the guardian, and Cialis snatched four golden apples and I'm going to get them back."

"What if Cialis doesn't want to hand over?"
