Chapter 394 Pandora, Air Pirate
"Ta-ta-ta-"
The blue sky is clear, and a silver-painted airship in the sea of clouds reflects the sunlight, and the propeller at the tail rotates rapidly.
The head of the airship is spindle-shaped, like a flying shuttle. In the main control room at the head, Yeats looked at the sea of clouds through the curved glass window and exclaimed:
"You really know how to fly an airship!"
The black cat lay elegantly on the console, glanced lazily at Yeats, and said nothing.
At the same time, light golden ripples were surging on Mammon's body, and these magic powers rippled in the air, like silk threads connecting the steering wheel. There was no one at the helm of the airship, but it was operating on its own.
One day has passed since it took off from the industrial area of Prague City. In just half a day, we will be able to arrive at the capital of Roland Kingdom, Parisgia, along the air route between the Kingdom of Roland and Prague City.
This airship named [Barracuda] is the biggest gain of this trip, and its value is even higher than the three-masted sailboat [Petrel] used by the Knights of Medicine to redeem Phoenix.
In addition, the automatic mechanism golem "Dial Robot" presented by Archduke Rudolf is currently taking on the tasks of a waiter in the airship, such as cleaning, cooking, and maintenance.
At noon, it prepared food in the dining room in the airship and then presented it to Yeats and others on a tray.
In the evening, return to the mechanical room of the airship to recharge, and use the equipped maintenance module to repair the airship.
Yeats marveled that in this almost medieval fantasy world, there were such intelligent golems.
Mammon said that Yeats was rare and strange. In the old era, the technological level of the human empire was far higher than that of the current era, and the magic of golems has developed to the point where fakes can be mistaken for real ones.
During the voyage, when there was nothing to do, Mammon talked to Yeats about the history of the golem that she knew.
"The first and most famous and perfect golem in history was named 'Pandora', which means 'the woman with all gifts'."
Mamen said: "She is a demon doll created by the God of Forging and Fire. She is charming and moving, more like a human being than a human being, and even more beautiful than the all-powerful Helen."
"Pandora is a gift from the gods to humans. Every god has given Pandora the same blessings, such as beauty, intelligence, curiosity...the most important thing among them is curiosity."
"Because the gods also gave Pandora a magic box, which was filled with all kinds of misfortunes and disasters. Pandora opened the magic box out of curiosity and released all the disasters, plagues and scourges in the world. She was panicked and helpless immediately Re-covering the magic box also covers the secret hidden at the bottom of the box..."
"Hope!" Gray replied immediately.
Yeats said: "You have learned to answer quickly!"
Gray said: "I have heard this story told by the elders many times. It means that we should persevere to the end and don't give up hope!"
Mamen said: "Actually, I think... curiosity about the unknown is the cause of disaster. If you remain ignorant, you can always be happy."
Yeats was noncommittal and pondered: "So, is there really such a thing as Pandora and the Magic Box in this world?"
"Of course." Mammon licked her cat's paws and said calmly, "But that was already in the Third Age. After Pandora opened the magic box, a huge flood fell from the sky. Only a handful of humans survived. A major disaster in the Twilight of God..."
Yeats was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the legend of the Great Flood still existed. From this point of view, Noah's Ark was indeed a thing!
"What century should we count now?" Yeats asked.
Mammon counted on her fingers: "One, two..."
Zuan Ya was the first to say: "The Fourth Age!"
Gray was surprised: "So, Ragnarok led to the destruction of the Second Age, the Great Flood led to the end of the Third Age, and the Fourth Age may also be destroyed on the Day of Apocalypse mentioned by Yeats like previous centuries? ”
This keen question made the atmosphere in the cab a little subtle for a while.
The squirrel and the black cat looked at each other, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth.
After a while, Mamen slowly said:
"Even if it is destroyed, there will be new species, new overlords, and new gods born in the new era... It's just hard to say whether humans will still exist at that time."
Mammon's golden eyes glowed with a deep glimmer.
"In the final analysis, humans are just a species that was born in the Second Age. The bloodlines of dwarves, elves, and giants are much older than humans."
"Of course, from the perspective of me and my body, I prefer that humans can survive."
Mammon said calmly: "After all, compared to other races, human beings are much greedier... My faith has only grown stronger in this era."
Indeed, before the emergence of capitalism, Mammon could only be regarded as a relatively weak demon.
But since the desire for wealth gradually emerged in human civilization, Mammon has become one of the top three demons in hell. Yeats fell into thinking and summarized the existing information.
According to Mammon's words, there are four eras in this world. The first three eras all ended in a major disaster, such as [Twilight of the Gods] and [Great Flood].
In the current fourth era, there is destined to be a doomsday disaster called [Apocalypse].
Heaven is the initiator of [Apocalypse]. Why it launched this catastrophe? Its true intention is still unclear.
The gods also have their own positions. Generally speaking, the gods are opposed to the [Apocalypse]. The selection of humans as the chosen ones also takes into consideration the advance planning before the day of the apocalypse arrives.
Yeats rubbed his eyebrows.
Humans are pawns of the gods and have been so since ancient times.
As a person chosen by many gods, in essence, it is just that multiple gods value you and invest in you.
Only by setting foot in the realm belonging to the gods can one be qualified to become a chess player.
Silently looking at the gold ring on his knuckles, an inexplicable longing arose in Yeats's heart, and the legend of the vanished God of Light emerged in his mind.
The God of Light is known as the god most promising to end disasters and lead the world to glory...

His accidental death and his inheritance may become the key to surviving the day of the apocalypse!
but.
Obscene development is the way to go.
Yeats calmed down again.
After getting the [Ring of the Nibelungs], you can easily travel between the major planes. Whether it is shaking someone to fight in a group or hugging someone's thigh, it will be more convenient!
Looking at Yeats, who was breathing slightly hurriedly, Mammon's eyes were meaningful. Suddenly seeing that he had regained his composure, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart.
Being affected by the power of greed and being able to regain his composure so quickly...Yeats's character was indeed different from ordinary people!
"So, in what era did the drill tooth survive?"
Gray poked the cheek of Tooth who was chewing melon seeds with her hand, and asked curiously.
Zuan Ya said proudly: "The First Era! I grew up watching the snake Jörmungandr and the demon wolf Fenrir back then!"
Jormungandr and Fenrir, the giant snake and the demon wolf, are the two brothers who caused Ragnarok. They can be called the overlords of the second era. Even the god-king Odin is afraid of them.
Yeats couldn't help but pursed his lips.
I don’t know how nourishing the food cooked with this mythical monster would be! !
Hilud's eyes moved slightly and asked: "So, tooth drilling, what exactly did you go through to become... like this?"
Zhuan Ya avoided talking about it and said angrily: "It's amazing to survive the apocalypse...it's better to be alive than to be dead!"
At this time.
Mammon's call interrupted everyone's conversation.
"Pay attention——"
There was a glimmer of amusement in the black cat's golden eyes, and he grinned slightly.
"Another airship is approaching us!"
Yeats squinted his eyes and looked out the window. He saw a black-painted airship with the six-arm pirate sail of the "Lord of Plunder" hanging on it. It suddenly appeared from the thick sea of clouds and rushed straight towards it as if nothing was seen. !
Herod said calmly: "He is a believer of the Lord of Plunder..."
Dian Ya looked Yeats up and down and muttered: "Yeats really does have some kind of physique that can easily lead to trouble."
Yeats was bewildered when he heard this and said calmly:
"If you dare to stop my airship...you will be killed!"
