Two-digit girl's journey of spreading fire in the heavens

Chapter 117 The Truth! ! ! !
"drink!"

Cassandra pulled out the Hermes rod stuck in her leg with all her strength, the pain almost made her faint.

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

That terrible woman gained the power of four golden apples, and the divine religion will definitely become stronger. I must re-seal this power that does not belong to the world, because that is the task and mission that I must complete!
"Fuck!"

Cassandra tore strips of cloth from her clothes and wrapped them around the wound on her thigh, but the blood flowed profusely and couldn't be stopped.

The strength and temperature flowed out of the body together with the blood, reminding Cassandra of the loneliness of living outside.

But this time, no one named Siris will reach out to her again.

Even, this pain was bestowed by Siris herself.

Malaka!
Cassandra cursed in her heart.

If she hadn't deliberately kept herself awake, she might have even forgotten to breathe.

Is this going to die?

Maybe it wouldn't be so painful if I gave up.

However, I can't die yet, I still have to stop Siris!

So, what to do?
"Take up the spear of Hermes, inheritor of the inheritance." An illusory female projection suddenly appeared. She had an elegant appearance and a perfect body, as if she was a legendary god.

"Who are you? A ghost?" Cassandra asked with difficulty, "Or is it that Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, is actually a woman?"

"I am not a ghost, nor Charon. My name is Aletheia, the last of the Isu. My body has died of disease, and now my consciousness is preserved in the staff of Hermes. You and I therefore able to talk."

"So you're still a ghost." Cassandra smiled wryly, "So you let me pick up the Hermes Spear in order to occupy my body after I die?"

"No." Aletheia replied: "The full name of the Rod of Hermes is the Rod of Hermes Trismegistus, it was created by the Isu philosopher Hermes A great tool to make. The scepter has the ability to instantly regenerate the cells of the user's body, pick it up, and your physiological structure will immediately regenerate and return to its peak."

"I don't quite understand." Cassandra said, "But you mean, as long as I pick up the Hermes staff, my injuries can be healed immediately?"

"Yes."

"But what about the price? Aletheia, what is the price?" Cassandra asked, "I know that the gods never give gifts to humans for no reason."

"You are not an ordinary human. Strictly speaking, compared to humans, your genetic level is closer to that of the Isu." Aletheia replied, "But you are right, the one who became Hermes Rods do require conditions."

"What is it?"

"Become a caretaker." Aletheia said, "From now on, you must defend the Isu heritage for life until you find a new successor."

"Like my father?"

"Yes, just like your father."

Cassandra hesitated: "If I refuse, will no one guard the Isu legacy?"

"Yes."

"But you don't seem worried that I'll say no."

"Because I know you will agree." Aletheia explained: "My existence is different from ordinary life. Time is just a stream of data in my eyes. I can appear at any node at any time."

Cassandra was surprised: "Can you foresee the future?"

"Including the past, too."

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

Aletheia shook her head: "I can clearly see the future and past of everyone in this world, but I can't see the living body named Siris."

"why?"

"Because she is not in the time record." Aletheia added after finishing speaking: "Not in the time record of this world."

Cassandra didn't understand, but just guessed on her own: "Maybe it's because she was protected by the moon god?"

Aletheia did not answer, but said: "Please make a decision quickly, your time is running out, heir of the inheritance."

"Well, in fact, you and I both know how to choose, don't we?"

Cassandra took a deep breath, and gripped the staff of Hermes tightly.

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

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

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

"No, your father's brain was burned by the electric current and he is dead." Aletheia shook her head and said, "The staff of Hermes is only effective for living things."

Cassandra fell silent, walked over to Pythagoras' body, and offered her condolences.

"Pythagoras is a very competent watchman. He is very smart, even at the level of the Isu people. I have worked with him for many years, and we have always been very happy." Aletheia First, he praised the achievements of Pythagoras, and then he sighed and said with regret: "But the will of mortals is too fragile after all. Relying on the power of the rod of Hermes, Pythagoras extended his life, This allowed him to have amazing research on Isu technology, but at the same time he was distorted by this knowledge. This was my negligence, for which I hope you can accept my apology on his behalf."

Cassandra was taken aback: "My father's mind has been distorted? What do you mean?"

"He longs for immortality, and for this reason he even wants to use Isu technology." Aletheia explained: "The watchman has become a thief, which probably means guarding himself and stealing himself. I express my regret for this more than once. Pythagoras suggested that Pythagoras hand over the staff of Hermes to others, because this can better complete the task of the watchman, but he refused."

Cassandra was even more surprised: "Then he found me...?"

"His genes are not perfect, even with the Rod of Hermes, he still reached the limit level. So he chose to find your mother and give birth to an heir 20 years ago, just to pass on the Rod of Hermes To his descendants." Aletheia said: "Pythagoras regarded the watchman as an honor, which allowed him to complete the task with due diligence, and at the same time made him feel superior."

"He should regard this job as a symbol of power, so even if he dies, he must give this 'privilege' to his sons and daughters, hoping that the honor and status will always belong to his blood. This approach is not common among human beings. It is rare, for example, the king will leave the throne to his son instead of a more wise courtier. This narrowness is a defect deep in human genes. I thought that a wise man like Pythagoras could use reason to overcome impulse, but Unexpectedly, wisdom will eventually be defeated by wildness.”

"And what's more serious, after meeting the young you, Pythagoras' inner reluctance was rekindled. He deceived you, activating the spear of Leonidas does not need golden apples at all, and the spear upgrades What's needed are Isu shards, and you should have gotten some when you killed the Cultists of Kosmos."

Cassandra pulled out some triangular pieces of metal and asked, "You mean this?"

"That's right, these are the Isu fragments. The Cult of Order is also looking for the Isu relics, so it's not surprising that they have these things." Aletheia said: "There is an Isu arsenal on Andros Island , that's where Hephaestus the Isu made his ordnance, and that's where your spear was upgraded."

Cassandra asked strangely: "Then why did my father ask me to find the golden apple...?"

"It is to open the gate of Atlantis." Aletheia replied: "Atlantis is the last city of the Isu, where all the technology of the Isu is preserved, for the safety of the human world , we closed the gates of Atlantis before the catastrophe struck, but your father decided to reopen it for the sake of immortality."

"But once the gate is opened, won't more Isu artifacts leak out?"

"Yes, that's why I wanted to stop Pythagoras." Aletheia was silent for a moment and continued, "It's also because of this that I stood by when Siris killed Pythagoras. "

Cassandra asked with a complicated expression: "So Siris killed my father, but saved the world instead?"

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

Cassandra remained silent, silently collected the body of Pythagoras, and then carried the staff of Hermes and the spear of Leonidas on her back respectively.

"What are you doing?" Aletheia asked.

"I am the caretaker. Siris has snatched four golden apples, and I am going to get them back."

"What if Siris refuses to hand it over?"

Cassandra was silent for a while and then replied: "Then I will kill her and dig out those four golden apples from her body with my own hands!"
