Chapter 1394: Chapter 85: The Ancient Greek God in Charge of Pyramid Schemes
Just by reading these insights and the compiled materials once, the young man felt a force that made his blood pump.
During the following journey, whenever he had time, the young man would come for guidance.
The questions were no longer confined to the gods but related to various aspects of humanity.
For instance, the development of national politics, economics, and military, as well as legal regulations concerning civil, criminal, commercial, and military matters, even extending to agriculture and healthcare fields.
Luo En spoke without reserve on these subjects.
Finally, on the eve of the caravan entering the Arabian Peninsula, Luo En formally bid farewell, expressing his intention to part ways with the caravan.
“You’re not coming with us to the tribe?” The young man was a bit surprised.
“I have other matters, I’m afraid I don’t have time to visit.” Luo En shook his head, politely declining.
The young man was somewhat disappointed. After a moment of silence, he asked a question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time:
“Do you think the gods truly care for the people?”
If the gods no longer love humanity, then what use do you have for the gods?”
Hearing this, the young man was rendered speechless.
Soon after, he lifted his eyes, looking at the figure before him with some trepidation and longing:
“Then, can I truly bring redemption to my people?”
Luo En said nothing, placing a finger gently on the young man’s forehead.
The river of fate surged and swirled, its tumultuous waves reflecting visions both illusory and real in his mind:
Tens of thousands of people in white robes, putting aside their enmity, united like family, fighting together for their own fairness, rights, and justice.
They rode warhorses, wielding scimitars, charging out of the Arabian Peninsula, dragging the long-decayed oppressors into the hell of destruction, establishing new glory amidst the ruins, spreading the gods’ grace eternally.
After a moment of daze, the young man opened his eyes and respectfully bid farewell to the figure before him:
“I should be going, sir.”
“Like you, I will walk the road I should walk, and pursue the path I ought to pursue!”
The young man’s words were forceful, with no trace of self-doubt or hesitation on his face.
Luo En nodded with satisfaction, taking out a golden Rune Ring, and gave it to the young man before him:
“Take this with you, you’ll probably find it useful.”
The young man respectfully accepted it, watching as the two rode their camels away, gradually disappearing into the swirling sand and dust.
On the road, Pandora couldn’t help but ask:
“Sir, you don’t plan on intervening personally?”
“It’s his journey and his choice, there’s no need for me to interfere.”
“But in a war among the gods, what can a mere mortal achieve? Could he really stir up the Persian Empire?”
Luo En smiled mysteriously, his gaze traversing through time, as if he had seen a certain future engraved in fate.
Unable to comprehend her superior’s whimsical thoughts, Pandora could only shake her head and asked:
“Sir, what’s our next step?”
“The second ‘wedge’ is complete, it’s time to prepare for the third one.”
As Luo En spoke, his gaze caught a figure atop a distant sand dune, a smile immediately spreading across his face,
“Look, our man has arrived.”
At this moment, the figure on the dune also spotted Luo En and Pandora.
He immediately leapt onto a warhorse and quickly rode over to join them.
From afar, this was a robust man, with slightly dark skin and slightly curly hair, his appearance seemingly not conforming to the characteristics of the five Divine Eras of Europe.
Pandora was somewhat puzzled:
“Is he your third wedge?”
“No, he’s just a guide I hired.”
Luo En smiled and shook his head, then rode his camel to meet up with him.
As soon as they met, the man dismounted and respectfully knelt:
“I have been here waiting for you for many days, by the order of Lord Alexander.”
“Poros, right?” Luo En nodded, “I remember before joining Alexander’s banner, you were from India? Recently, I’m planning a trip there, mind guiding me?”
“It is my honor, Your Majesty!”
Poros replied respectfully, with an immensely humble demeanor.
Before undertaking this secret mission, he had learned of the client’s identity from his patron, Alexander, and naturally dared not show any negligence or disrespect.
“Don’t be nervous, just think of it as a journey,” Luo En paused and then asked with a smile, “By the way, Poros is your Hellenized name, right? What was your name in India before?”
“Chandragupta,” Poros answered succinctly.
Luo En’s eyelids twitched, a strange color flickered in his eyes:
“Does your family raise peacocks by any chance?”
At these words, Poros felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit, his face turning ashen as he knelt on the ground in panic:
“Your Majesty, I didn’t intend to impersonate a Kshatriya, please forgive me!”
