Chapter 547 548. Relic of the First Civilization: The Cross of Life
“This is indeed Ankh.”
Herodotus looked at the religious artifact that Lan En handed him and made A definite conclusion.
After Lan En removed these two items from Harpalos, he immediately disassembled them.
And he put the stone filled with chaotic magic power and with many runes engraved on it into the alchemy leather bag, and put it together with the only remaining magic-blocking gold bomb.
This stone is not a simple thing, at least Lan En has never seen such a thing in Aretuza's library, or even heard of it. It just looks a bit like an elf in terms of styling, maybe it's an elven magic item from ancient times.
We can only wait to go back and see if experts like Margarita or Tisaya can figure out some tricks.
It was already dark at this time, and Pericles' mansion was in a mess because of last night's banquet, but a room where they could talk could still be freed up.
Lane and Cassandra sat aside, waiting for Herodotus' next words.
This man, who is no longer young, did not indulge himself last night, so he was in good spirits and concentration.
The Ankh cross in his hand, which can be called a cultural relic, made him a little excited.
While stroking the patterns and patterns on the cross with his finger pads, feeling the uneven texture, Herodotus spoke in his unique gentle tone.
"Ankh, also called the Cross of Life. In Egyptian mythology, it is a gift from the goddess Isis to her husband Osiris. It represents the power of 'life' and 'healing'."
"But there is also a theory that the shape of this cross is actually obtained by the Egyptians after symbolizing the human organ of the uterus. After all, it is well known that the Egyptians can see inside the human body because of their skills in making mummies. A lot of secrets.”
Lan En nodded, indicating that he was not surprised.
Cassandra on the other side frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"'Well known'? I didn't know that Egyptians would cut people open and look inside? Uh. I originally wanted to travel there."
Knowledge level and happiness Herodotus and Lan, who were present, had already learned to adapt to Kassandra's words, which were as earth-shattering as Bai's words.
Neither of them cared.
“Where did you get this cross of life?”
Herodotus asked curiously.
“I have traveled to the southernmost desert of Egypt, but I have only seen such well-made ankhs in local temples. I didn’t even see the smallest traces of polishing.”
Kassandra glanced at Lan En, saw him nodded slightly, and then described to Herodotus how the two of them annihilated Ares believers in the cave.
“You mean the Minotaur you dragged into the city of Athens this morning was made from this ankh?! The raw materials are cows and humans?!”
Herodotus's eyes widened after listening to Cassandra's description, as if the cross of life in his hand suddenly became hot, and he threw it on the table with a clang.
But then he seemed reluctant to stay away from this magical carrier of knowledge. He lay down carefully and looked at it, but in the end he no longer dared to touch it with his hands.
When Kassandra and Lann entered the city, they brought a corpse they had killed, a body with the head of a bull and a human body with hooves, which caused an unprecedented sensation in the streets of Athens.
This is evidence that he wants to tell people that the Ares believers outside the city are finished. It can also be regarded as an explanation of the support of the citizens of Athens for their ‘cave expedition’ during this period of time.
Herodotus's performance was much better than Lan En expected.
He may be one of the people in this era who has the furthest belief in gods.
"Then it seems that this is probably a relic of the first civilization!"
Herodotus whispered to himself.
Lan En moved his hand on the table, grabbed Anka and put it away.
“The First Civilization?”
The demon hunter felt like he was listening to a word from a science fiction novel. Cassandra crossed her arms and explained to Lan Enhun nonchalantly.
“During his long travels and research, Herodotus believed that there was a group of beings before us humans, that is, gods.”
“They are not gods. Let me explain to you. It’s over, Cassandra! They are just forerunners!”
“Aren’t they still gods?”
Kassandra’s retort and Herodotus’s emphasis made the demon hunter People sort of sorted out their thoughts during a conversation filled with a lot of information.
"Wait. Okay."
Lan En looked hesitant to speak, but finally waved his hand as if giving up.
The prehistoric civilization before humans, this can be regarded as an enduring science fiction fantasy.
He now has magic in his hands, gene seeds and biological intelligence in his body. Science fiction is not unacceptable.
“Then we can roughly confirm that it is this Ankh that gives Harpalos the ability to transform and splice the human body?”
The corner of Lan En's mouth twitched a little.
“This is really a fool-like operation method. Even a fanatic can play it.”
“Not only that.” Herodotus added, “Listen to you. Description, this thing also activated the Forerunner blood in Harpalos, and even allowed him to briefly possess most of the Forerunner's power!"
Compared to the excited Herodotus, Kassandra, as a The combatants are much more rational.
“But if it turns into a mummy after activation, then I think it’s pretty good now.”
Lan En held this piece of Ankh, which was the size of an ordinary person's palm, in his hand and looked at it thoughtfully.
The consequences of fool-like operation can allow ordinary people to splice the limbs of beasts, and to a certain extent they can be used
"Mr."
Even if Mentos Still using the old London accent set by Lan En, with a precise accent, he still couldn't hide his surprise and spoke to the subject.
“This is exactly what we need! Even better than we expected! Smart surgical equipment!”
"With your level of knowledge and the functionality of this device, we can easily handle future Space Marine augmentation surgeries!"
"This is exactly what I was thinking of."
Lann recognized Mentos's idea in his mind.
The intensive surgery of the Space Marines, and the subsequent procedures even include meningeal implants, which cannot be completed by a single person.
And if you can use this cross of life
"Are you interested in it?"
Suddenly, a question came from beside me.
Lan looked down to his side, and Cassandra was standing next to him looking at him.
“If you are still interested in the First Civilization and their legacy, then I just want to go somewhere after leaving Athens, and you should also want to go.”
“Andros Island. During the journey, I concluded that this place must be related to the broken spear on Cassandra’s back and the First Civilization.”
Herodotus interrupted and complained.
“And to be honest, we should have gone before coming to Athens. It’s just that Kassandra was in a hurry to come to Athens, so we moved the schedule back.”
